What's holding it all up is Milwaukee apparently is still saying, we don't know, or let's see if we can make a deal here around the periphery.

Maybe we could turn Kyle Kuzma into something.

And they're still playing this game of chicken where they're like, we don't want to trade him.

And Giannis is like, I don't want to ask to get traded.

So we're just going to pretend that this thing is going to work somehow.

Yeah, if you said they had 18 victories, the first thing I'd ask is, well, is Giannis healthy?

And he hasn't been healthy, right?

He has missed games.

I think he's only played 30 games this year.

And then many of those games have occurred with a minutes restriction.

So those two things do inform a little better why the record is as bad as it is.

But it's still worse than what we would believe, even under those circumstances.

But Dan, do you remember Charles Barkley in Philadelphia?

Like, how could he be that great and that team be that bad?

Man, it's a team sport.

It doesn't matter how good a player is.

At the end of the day, you have to have competent infrastructure, and that includes teammates, and that includes coaching, and that includes everything.

Yeah, he has a history of being durable.

He's going through some stuff right now.

It happens.
