When one thing gets proven untrue, just move on to the next thing that you're making up. You want to start with winners or losers? Winners. Alright, the Spurs. You want to talk about Rigatoni Pasta? Once again, Skates! These guys are being gifted a dynasty right now. Or at the very least, they're getting great options. Bumping up to number two.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
There was a tiny, tiny chance they could have ended up with one and two. That seems far-fetched that we get one of the two. They did get number two, so... Is it gonna be somebody to pair with Victor Wembanyama? Dylan Harper is the name that's bounced around pretty solidly at number two. They could go slow-mo style with him. Castle and Wemby, De'Aaron Fox obviously still there as well.

A lot of lefties in the backcourt or... The number two pick, the reigning rookie of the year. That's the nice start of a package for a Giannis Antetokounmpo-like player. Giannis and Victor together? Good luck scoring. That's a lot of arms. Remember the Milwaukee Bucks had that photo once upon a time. It was like Giannis, Larry Sanders and John Henson.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
stretching their arms across the court and they're like, look at this defense, good luck scoring on them. They would only need Victor and Giannis to do that, to go across the entire court together. So that would be interesting to see where the Spurs end up because the number two pick, I think, is way more tradable than getting the number one pick. You're not trading Cooper Flagg if you get him.

Eine tolle Szene, wo wir einen kurzen Moment sehen, als Mori die Hände auf den Tisch legt, nachdem sie bemerkt haben, dass die Sixers in den Top 4 gehen. Wir sollten auf dem Mori-Camp bleiben. Ja. Besonders mit Kevin Negandi, der den Punk-Fake gegeben hat. Er hat gesagt, dass die Sixers ihren Pick verloren haben. Warte mal, es ist eigentlich Nummer 3. Das war toll. Das war toll.

Any other winners and losers? I think the Lakers are maybe a winner in this. Mavs frontcourt is getting crowded. Lakers need a center. Guess who played for the Mavericks not too long ago? Had a great pairing with one of their centers, Daniel Gafford, probably the most likely to be moving on of all of the bigs in Dallas.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
The Lakers are going to be a suitor for him, and he obviously was a perfect fit next to Luka Doncic, so I think they are probably happy to see Dallas getting a generational frontcourt player, which means maybe there's somebody better that's available on the market this summer, because there's not a ton of names out there, but I think Gafford might be gettable. Für die Lakers.

Cooper Flagg ist jetzt die Antwort für die Chicago Bulls. Das oder Josh Giddey, der den Halbkorn-Schuss verpasst hat. Literally, if either of those goes the Bulls' way, there's a star in Chicago. That's another loser for me, the Eastern Conference. Cooper Flagg going west. The East hasn't gotten a generational player since LeBron. Pretty much two generations at this point. Wow. Wow.

Ja, all of the buzz out of Milwaukee is that Giannis is coming back. Literally every time you hear something on a podcast, they're saying, yeah, we're pretty confident that Giannis is actually going to want to be a Buck. He has shown loyalty. International players don't have a long track record of asking out and asking for trades the way these American born players do.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
But the last two times Giannis was confronted with this sort of a scenario, like Tass is saying, the Bucks were able to pull a huge trade. Refit their team and go forward. They're not able to do this right now. So it's going to be, is Giannis in a position where he's okay being Dirk Nowitzki after losing to the Warriors in the first round?
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Is he okay with being Kevin Garnett, losing seven straight first round playoff series, going to the conference finals, then not making it back to the playoffs for three years? Maybe he is. He's compared to KG in Minnesota quite a bit right now, but he's had a much more elevated version of what KG was doing. Giannis had a lot of early success in his career.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
They were the best team in the league, kept falling short, finally got over the hump in 2021, but since then they've won one series in the next four post-seasons, and that's Not where Giannis wants to be. He's always talking about winning another championship. Which brings us to the Kobe-Dang-Corollary. Giannis wants to be traded to a team that when he gets there, he's not alone.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Because he's alone in Milwaukee right now. So the teams that you look at have to be able to trade young players or assets or whatever and not have the cupboard be dry. Maybe that's why Giannis has to be actively open-minded right now, because these teams got to come together with some packages, because this is a guy who's in the prime of his career.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
We're not exactly sure how he's going to age, but he's a relentless player, a hard worker, and he just gets better and better and better. So the package will be substantial to get Giannis, and we'll see if a team can actually meet the price and make it an attractive place for Giannis for the long term, because right now in the short term, it ain't attractive in Milwaukee.

Hot take that I'm just now formulating. Not sure if it actually makes sense. JD turned the Tic Tac camera on. May 12th, 2020. Tic Tac. Yeah, we can't afford the Tic Tac camera. There's only one actually. This is the Tic Tac camera because I put one and a half seconds of thought into it. May 12th, 2025 is the best thing to happen to Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis makes his trade request.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Cooper going west. Jason Tatum likely out for the season. Giannis can come back next season and the Bucks can be a top four seed in the Eastern Conference. The East is going to be so down next year that Giannis' regular season performance will be enough to carry the Bucks to near 50 wins. In an East that stinks. Du denkst jetzt, du hast recht.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Sie waren der fünfte Sieg dieses Jahr und es war meistens Giannis. Ich meine, Dame war gut diese Saison. All-Star-Level. Sie haben sich nie so gut gemescht, aber Giannis ist MVP-Level. Sie haben den fünften Sieg gewonnen. Es ist nicht unvergleichbar, dass sie einen tollen Regular-Sieg haben. Ich glaube nicht, dass sie ein Titel-Konzentrierungs-Team sind.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Aber sie können definitiv in die Playoffs kommen.

No Dunks

Nein? Ich denke, ehrlich gesagt, ich denke, es ist ein Toss-Up. Ich denke nicht, dass die Bucks ihn einfach rauswerfen werden, um ihn rauszuwerfen.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
I also don't think they're going to ship him to a team he doesn't want to go to. Like the Grizzlies could put together a great package. Even teams like the Pacers and Cavs, they could get something together. The fit with Giannis on either of those teams, that's super interesting. Just doesn't seem realistic to me that the Bucks would do that.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
So the Bucks need something that's going to benefit them, which who knows what they're going to be looking for. Probably young players more so than picks. I would have to imagine since they don't have their own picks and the team that's getting Giannis is going to be good. Like you're not trading Giannis to get the 28th pick. every other year for five years, you know what I'm saying?
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Ja, vielleicht nicht. Und einige dieser Teams haben keine realistischen Packungen für die Bucks. Die Heat, die sind immer in der Mischung, sicher. Aber du willst Bam und Tyler Hero zurück? Dann ist es nur Giannis und Wiggins zusammen. Das macht keinen Sinn zu mir.

Ich frage mich, ob die Knicks sagen, wir haben fünf erste Runde Picks, den Julius Randle-Kontrakt und alles auf Mikael Bridges und Karl-Anthony Towns. Wenn wir ein Jahr warten würden, hätten wir Giannis bekommen. But they're also going to be in the conference finals. That's right.

Okay, gut, er hatte das beste Spiel der Playoffs, und das war keine Überraschung, das nächste beste Spiel der Playoffs. Er hatte 39 Punkte, 12 Assisten, Boston mit 8 Minuten und 45 Sekunden im dritten Quartier. Anfangs war es dann der Brunson-Barrage, eine großartige Linie von Mike Breen. 26 Punkte und 6 Assistenzen für Brunson von dem Punkt an.

Die Mavs haben das Nummer 1-Pick. Ich bin froh für die Mavs-Fans. Okay. Alle, die ihre Saison-Tickets gecancelt haben, werden sagen müssen, warte mal. We got a new white guy in town. I like him too. And he's got the most cowboy sounding name in the NBA. Are you kidding me? Cooper Flagg is going to Dallas? The Sheriff himself? I wonder if that'll catch on. I also like Rolando Blackman afterwards.

Er hat gesagt, er kann nicht warten auf das vierte Quartier in diesem Spiel. Die Klatschzeit beginnt jetzt, weil die Celtics ziemlich gut spielen. Tatum hatte jeden Schuss, den er wollte. Der Doppelscreen arbeitete wieder. Sie konnten nicht zu den Jalen-Brown-Post-Ups kommen, aber der Stagger-Screen hatte weit open Looks für Tatum. Er spielte großartig.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Sie handelten Basketballen zurück und zurück, zurück und zurück, zurück und zurück. Brunson kam einfach majoritär auf, als das Team ihn absolut benötigte. Wenn du die letzten fünf Minuten klatschst, mit dem Tor, fünf Punkte oder weniger, aber ich sage dir, die letzten neun Minuten des dritten Quartals, das war so klatsch wie alles, was Jalen Brunson im vierten Quartal gemacht hat.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Dann, wie du es erwähnt hast, war Bridges großartig. Ich glaube, dieser Typ schafft es für das vierte Quartal, wenn er weiß, dass ich der Hauptspieler für die Knicks werde. Er liebt es, den Ball in der rechten Kante zu holen, so schnell wie er es kann, in die Freethrow-Line zu drücken und dann wegzufallen und auf die Dreipunkt-Line zu enden. Das ist sein eigenes Schuss. He was money with it.

Towns was a tough guy last night. I love the way he played. He was inside almost all night. 23 points, 11 rebounds. He was 1 of 4 on shots away from the rim, which means he was 10 of 11 at the rim. Not to mention, he was doing a good job when he was caught on Isos with Jason Tatum. I mean, Tatum was cooking last night. What can you do?
No Dunks

Coop can hoop. This guy is just a built-in marketing dream. You mentioned the rigatoni pasta skeets. It's impossible to feel otherwise. Look, it ain't rigged. There are... Security measures in place. But this is the Anthony Davis playbook from 2019 to a T. Right? Yeah. LeBron needed somebody. He gets Anthony Davis. So guess what? We're going to give you Zion Williamson.

Ich sah, dass Chalamet nachher mit Amari Stoudemire getroffen wurde. Und da ist das Bild, als er zehn Jahre alt war und Amari Stoudemire neben einem Opernhaus war. Er hat gesagt, er hat den Loop geschlossen. Ich liebe diesen Kerl. Er ist ein toller Kerl. Hier ist das Problem für die Celtics. Nur ein Tag Rest für das nächste Spiel. Für Spiel 5.

Und ich dachte, ihre alten Jungs haben wirklich gespürt. Wir haben darüber gesprochen, wie toll Al Horford in Spiel 3 war. Er war so gehypt, er hat zweimal gespielt. Er sagte, er sei der schnellste Mann auf dem Platz in der zweiten Halbzeit. Letzte Nacht, fünf Punkte, fünf Rebauen, vier Assistenzen, zwei Steals. Es hat einfach nicht so viel Einfluss auf das Spiel. Drew Holliday, genau das gleiche.
No Dunks
NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
Vier Punkte, vier Rebauen, drei Assistenzen. Jetzt haben sie einen größeren Lauf zu tragen, mit Jason Tatum draußen. Also werden wir Jalen Brown sehen, der zurück in den Finals-MVP-Modus schnappt. Und das ist ein Typ, der mit Injektionen in seinem Knie handelt. Er hat sicherlich Up- und Down-Spiele, aber das war definitiv nicht sein bestes Spiel. In Game 4.

Get under the second apron at the very least. Kind of like reset their apron clock so that they can have more flexibility going forward. But we'll see when it ends up being the diagnosis and what they end up deciding to do. Because they are aging. Drew's getting older. Al Horford's getting older.

Die Knicks haben natürlich ihre Fan-Sektion außerhalb des Pickleball-Korps. Und seit sie später im Tag spielen, weil der Sonnenschein und die Lichter im Pickleball-Club sind, You could see people inside playing pickleball while the Knicks were on their huge fourth-quarter run.

Both those guys in that one. Without Steph Curry, the Timberwolves have had the two best players for the entirety of the series. John Krasinski nailed it at the Athletic. The Timberwolves lost three of the fourth quarters in the game. They were out-hustled and outsmarted for the entirety of the first half. And it did not really matter.

NBA Draft Lottery Winners & Losers, Giannis Trade Rumors, Tatum's Leg Injury
39-17 destruction in the third quarter was all they really needed to catapult them to a 3-1 lead in the series. They had one huge quarter, and that ended up being enough. Because the... What am I even trying to say? I completely forgot my team. The Warriors were leading at half and they pulled their starters with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. That's crazy to get blown out that hard.

Now their bench guys made it into a game a little bit. Guy Santos, he's probably earned a little bit of playing time in game five just to get more people on the court. But you can tell one team has eight guys they trust and one team has maybe five guys that they're trying to throw out there. One of which is Brandon Pajemski, who's barely playing. But this has been a tale of two halves.

die gesamte Serie durch die ersten vier Spiele hier, Tiefspieler am Ende der Halbzeit, sogar Punktdifferenzial, Minnesota, das ist ein plus 25 Total in der zweiten Halbzeit, sie rebounden besser, sie schießen besser, sie spielen schneller, sie bewegen den Ball, die zweite Halbzeit von diesem, sie hatten 13 Assisten auf 19 Field Goals, sie sahen einfach so aus, als wären sie einen Schritt vor Golden State, die ganze Zeit in der zweiten Halbzeit, bis die Benchmanns kamen und ihnen ein bisschen Energie gegeben haben auf der Golden State Seite.

Es gab fünf Spiele, in denen Jimmy Butler 40 oder mehr Minuten gespielt hat. In diesen Spielen hat er 25 Punkte pro Spiel gewählt. Das macht Sinn. Mehr Minuten, erheblich sein Spiel, Jimmy im Spiel, all das und die Spiele, die sofort nach einem 40-Minuten-Spiel folgen. Er hat drei 40-Minuten-Spiele gespielt, also habe ich auch 14,8 Punkte pro Spiel. Sie sagten, er hatte eine Krankheit.

Es ist auch einfach schwer für Jimmy, der nur da ist, Offense zu generieren. Und es gibt wirklich niemanden, der ihm Offense geben kann. Kaminga hat sein Ding gemacht. Er hat viel gespielt in der ersten Halbzeit, aber ohne Pods. Buddy Heald hatte auch eine schöne erste Halbzeit. Es waren einfach alle Timberwolves nach dem Spiel. Es gab ein schönes Highlight, das es nicht gab in diesem Spiel.

Ende des ersten Quartiers. Nikhil Alexander-Walker schießt am Rand. Kaminga schießt den Ball von unten. Er schießt es baseball-artig hoch. Nice catch by Gary Payton II. I don't think you would favor him catching the ball over Anthony Edwards, but he played it perfectly like a Randy Moss. Catches it, shoots the jumper, bounces out. Almost.

You never get it. I've got the new lottery odds as a loser of the draft lottery, to be quite honest. Ja, genau.

This is not the point of what the draft lottery is supposed to do, but this is how a lottery works. Wie du sagst, der Jazz wusste, dass wir eine 86%-Chance haben, dass es runtergeht.

Yeah, my conspiracy theory is it wasn't Ernst & Young who brought the results to the table. Go on. Yeah, I think after the lottery room, before the delivery, there was a little bit of time where they could pull off some sort of Ocean's Eleven-style heist where they're swapping in and out the cases.

The same people that believe this conspiracy theory, which I don't actually believe it, but you can talk me into a little bit, are the people that believe that the Mavericks were going to go to Las Vegas when they traded Luka Doncic.
