Ariel Helwani

And it's no knock on him.

Oh, I said this a long time ago.

I said this a long time.

And what worried me was... Okay, so I'll finish that point.

I didn't understand why they had... I get the tax, the New York tax, Brooklyn, New York.

You got the Knicks.

They're going to overpay.

I didn't understand why they had to give up so many picks...

for a guy who had never been an all-star who yes, was a great defensive player and an iron man.

He never misses a game.

And then the vibes of the Villanova guys, it felt like a major tax to pay.

And then when it felt like this year, and I know he had the two big moments in the playoffs and it was pretty good.

I had the Christmas day game was great and all that.

Then it felt to me like they gave him the big contract, the extension, because they said, all right, well, we already gave up all these picks.

What are we going to do now?

We're not just going to let him walk.

And I wish I could live in a sliding doors reality.

They don't make that trade.

They stick with what they got.

And now they have this freaking treasure chest of picks to just hand over to Milwaukee.
