The best options that Giannis would have and the Bucs would have, it would appear, are the Warriors and the Heat, and the Warriors is a better option.

That's interesting for a number of reasons, including that the Warriors have so much flexibility as a well-run organization that has not won as much as the Heat the last 30 years.

that they just traded for the Heat's best player and still have the assets available to have a better offer.

Well, if I can add, why do you say that about the Warriors?

They've won four titles during that span.

Oh, but over the last 30 years, okay, fine.

We can say that, but by winning percentage... Oh, just like going back to 94, they were shitty for like 15 years.

Over the last 30 years, the better winning... Over the last 30 years, the Warriors are under 500.

I need to calm you down.

The Warriors traded for the Miami Heat's best player and still have more flexibility and assets because their offer can be better.

And I believe that the only way that Giannis ends up in Miami, given that the Warriors are playing for the win now of Steph's got a win right now, while the Heat are playing for Riley's got a win before it's all over.

The best chance that he'd have is that Giannis doesn't want to do the Durant thing of I'm going to go be coattails, I'm going to go be the number two, and I don't like what's going to happen to the Warriors after Steph retires where I'm going to end up being Milwaukee again.

That's the best chance I think that he'd have, Giannis wanting to be here because it gets to be his.

Why does Milwaukee care about that?

because Giannis is going to tell them where it is that he wants to go, and they may or may not want to please Giannis here as part of the transaction if they can get something close to what it is that the Warriors would be offering, which they can.

They can get something close, but the Warriors' offer is better.

Let's go.

Was that Mike?

Because that's what was going on in my head.

Or was that Mike?
