Probably will get Darren Peterson at number two in the draft, but you don't always know what they do, obviously.

So maybe there's a number the Jazz won't match in that case because they have other ideas down the line.

So I'm sure it would take in the $30 million annually to pry Walker Kessler away from the Jazz for the Bulls to have a chance.

But that's a name that makes sense, right?

Like maybe you add Caleb Wilson.

at four cam boozer at four a guard at 15 now all of a sudden you plug in a big man center who protects the rim say you get cam boozer two at four i think that's a big debate that's where the first question the draft could really be what the grizzlies do at three cam boozer's not a great defender not a great rim protector but you got a center to cover for him right there you're looking at like there's a vision that's making sense within the first few months so like there's a pathway to that

I don't know if that can happen.

That might be difficult to pull off, the Walker-Kessler part, and you don't know who you're going to get it for, but there's options there that make sense as you're trying to build a team.

I don't think it changes too much.

That would be...

That would be a real 180 for Bryson to try to pull off this younger core, but add Giannis.

You'd have to start, obviously, with the fourth overall pick.

It might take the 15th overall pick.

It would probably take a future first-round pick.

I don't know what the Bucs would want by way of young players on the Bulls, but they'd be asking for Matas Bouzelis, obviously.

So...

That would be wild.

I don't expect it to happen.

But the Giannis sweepstakes are really fascinating, in part because the Knicks are playing so well right now that they might not breeze to the NBA Finals, but it feels like they have a really good chance to come out of the East if they're really competitive with, say, the Thunder or Spurs in the NBA Finals.

Even if they don't win it, you lose a tough six-game series.
