yeah yeah it's uh it's been a long long time of uh of uh trade rumors and does he want to stay does he want to commit to the future um all of those things uh yeah like you said i mean i've been back in milwaukee covering the buck since 2015. um

been at the Athletics since 2018.

And as I was just telling you guys off air, like after my first season on the beat, the Milwaukee Bucks go to the Eastern Conference Finals, lose to the Toronto Raptors.

And we end that season with, you know, a story from Malika Andrews at ESPN about Giannis considering his future and where he wants to be and whether or not that is Milwaukee and what he wants to do.

So that was eight years ago.

And we're still doing it.

But we will see where this one goes.

Uh, yeah, I think so.

Um, I'm trying to think back over the years.

Um, most of the time it's always been about, uh, whether or not it'll sign an extension.

Right.

Um, and we're not to that point yet, uh, as you know, I'm sure all of our listeners have read or heard, uh, Giannis is eligible for his next extension on October 1st.

Uh, so we'll see, uh,

what team he's playing on, who he's thinking about signing it, how many years he's thinking about signing it for when that comes around.

But most of the time, it's whether or not he's going to sign that.

It's not, you know, are the Bucs going to trade him?

Because in the past, the Bucs just don't listen.

They gave you call about Giannis.

we don't really care right great i think thanks for calling um whatever your offer is multiply it by infinity uh i don't even know like whatever you got make it even bigger and we're still gonna say no so um just know that that is where like the baseline is in in any honest trade but we're not even gonna talk about it so uh no and and this time it's different because

the Bucs have gotten to a spot where this is really the first year.
