It's like, can you talk yourself into the risk reward of Anthony Davis?

Because if it pays off for the Wizards, I think it's going to be a really nice bit of business for them.

It's just the risk is considerable.

You're telling me Giannis is on both sides of these issues, refusing to commit to literally anything at all for fear of being a bad person or perceived as one?

I mean, that's crazy to me, Justin.

I simply don't believe it.

First ballot, as far as I'm concerned.

And this is where I...

I would be very surprised if Giannis has a social media manager.

Maybe someone out there technically has that title, but the things that he puts out in the world are not things anyone would be paid to do, including this.

Again, just super weird for Giannis and the Bucks, we should say.

It's kind of like on all sides of this to pretend as if none of what's been happening.

over the last like, I don't know, six, eight, 12, 24 months has been happening.

We've all been here.

Like it's not just smoke.

Like these are real stories.

There was real interest.

There were real attempts by the Bucks to trade Giannis.

He pushed at various points to be off the team.

Why are we pretending anything else?
