Sam Amick

I don't know exactly what this means, but it's worth remembering that his agent, longtime agent Alex Saratsis from Octagon, interviewed for the Hawks GM position that ultimately went to Onsi Salah when he got elevated in his current role.

Now, my understanding is that Alex wasn't a finalist.

It was just a conversation.

But when that happened, there certainly were people assuming that if you're the Hawks, that part of that calculus was, you know, if we got...

Alex here, would that help us with Giannis down the road?

Those are the types of, you know, it sounds like an HBO show and a political thing, but those are the types of things that sometimes happen that play a part in business.

Yeah, no question.

So you got to know how Giannis feels about Atlanta, but it does make some sense.

Jalen Johnson in Milwaukee would be the type of young star who you could sell the Bucks fans and, you know, help them kind of mop up their tears after losing Giannis and get excited about a young guy coming their way.

group, so to speak, is all that large, you know, because even the teams that could do it, you know, we talked in the last segment about OKC, they could do it, you know, to steal the great line that you referenced off air from our guy, Andrew Schlecht, you know, Mr. Thunder himself was like, well, what are they going to do?

Go win the championship even harder?

You know, like they are incredible.

They don't need Giannis.

So I would say that's a no on OKC.

Yeah.

The indications I've gotten, I know the team San Antonio has the means to go after him and potentially get something done.

You know, things could always change.

The early indications that I've gotten is that's not in the cards.

So I'm going to say no to the Spurs right now.

The Warriors are another one that's been tied to Giannis for a long time.
