Bill Belichick

I talked about it immediately.

As soon as Joe Dumars, the president of basketball operations for the Pelicans, said he offered it to everyone ahead of the Hawks, who ended up taking the deal right behind the Bulls,

This has nothing to do with Noah Asenge, their first-round pick.

This has everything to do with understanding that in this climate, you need to be nimble as an organization and be able to quickly make moves when players become available.

And now they are missing the window.

They could make a trade for Giannis.

They could trade future first-round picks.

But the problem is, what they would have to trade away to match salaries and everything else, those would be the players that Giannis would need to play with to be good.

It would be the...

equivalent of him coming to Chicago and being on a roster that looks like the roster he's playing on right now with the Bucs.

That's not the goal.

The goal is to have him play with other good players that can elevate him back.

So the Bulls fall to the bottom of the heap, namely because they don't have the draft capital to make the trade, but also the players they would have to give up in that deal are the players he would need to play with to be good.

He's passed, what is he, 12 years?

12 years in the NBA.

That hit me a little bit.

Giannis has been in the league for 12 years?

Yeah, 12 and a half.

That's crazy.

He seems like he's been, just the way he plays still, like his athleticism and all, it feels like he's been in the league for five or six years.
