It's everybody but Steph.

And now it's, oh, we're reassuring Jimmy he's a piece of it, which shows me the counter from Milwaukee was, well, we don't want that contract because that contract is actually difficult to move.

You're probably right.

It's only an expiring deal.

It's not one that you feel you can flip for further value.

That's why I mentioned Hero and Wiggins.

You can flip those for further value later on if you don't want them as a piece for the future.

Tyler, you could extend as you continue to rebuild.

He's a 26-year-old

Milwaukee's incentivized to wait for a better offer in the offseason are they not Milwaukee is incentivized to wait because they can get at least one more pick if they wait until the summer but how much does Milwaukee care about what Giannis wants in this case how much should they care about what Giannis wants because two things number one they could say hey Giannis we want to wait until the summer because it's more beneficial for us but Giannis would be like

Yeah, I don't want to waste another year of my career.

I want to win right now.

I want to go to a team that is going to be a playoff team right now.

And then the second part, which is kind of important, is Giannis is eligible in October to sign a Supermax deal.

But he can only sign it if his current team has had him for six months.

So if they trade him over the summer, he's not eligible for Supermax.

Also, the other teams in the mix would suggest that these are teams looking to seize on this very window right now.

So you're probably not going to get as good an offer from certainly not these teams that are looking to add Giannis at 32 years old for this postseason.

And on top of that, like if you're if you're Giannis and they don't trade you the deadline, they want something better in the in the offseason.

Do you just not play because it's four to six weeks, quote unquote, of his calf strain.
