And that's very tricky for them from a planning standpoint because, yes, they have this historical backdrop where Bono Ginobili famously agrees to go to the bench with Greg Popovich's
you know, kind of nudging and the rest is history.
He's a Hall of Famer.
Manu Ginobili was not making $60 million a year, which is what De'Aaron is on track to make.
And so the solution is not quite as easy, even if De'Aaron at some point was willing to yield to the young fella in terms of a contract roster construction, that's an issue.

You know, I'd be surprised.
I don't know how short the leash is,
Dylan didn't show out, though.
That's the other thing.
He had a good first half, but four points in the second half, he faded a bit.

Talking to Sam Amick, senior NBA writer over at The Athletic in San Antonio for Game 2 of the NBA Finals tonight.
Sam, we are right around three weeks away from the NBA draft, which is three weeks away from the self-imposed deadline that the Milwaukee Bucks have to trade Giannis Tendekumpo.
What have you been hearing over the last couple of days about Giannis, and how likely do you think it is that Giannis is traded before the June draft?
Seems very likely, admittedly, that it's not often you have an owner publicly framing the timeline, and that's what Jimmy Haslam did.
We just saw Jimmy Haslam do a blockbuster trade with Miles Garrett in the NFL, showing he's certainly ready to
pull that trigger if he needs to.
I do expect it to happen.
