Where could Giannis Antetokounmpo really end up next?
come pick up your clothes i had them folded welcome back to the alley oh trista what the hey looking like that for a boy you never heard an angel seen uh majestically well i was just wondering what the segue for that like a lot of times there's a reason for that specific song
as the intro to our episode, and I was wondering who we're kicking out, who come and get their clothes, their clothes are folded. And I was wondering, is that John Morant? Is that LaMelo Ball? Who is that? Is that Giannis? Who are we talking about? Come pick up your clothes. They're folded for you.
It could be Giannis. Giannis' socks is folded for sure.
Do you have the same opinions of Giannis' trade destinations as last week? Given how this weekend has played out, given LeBron looking like LeBron again, the heat, dropping some questionable games, where do you think that my boy should go?
I think Atlanta is an awesome spot for him. ATL, you can watch Giannis on a night-to-night basis, Juju.
Are the Boston Celtics truly elite or just front-running frauds?
You know that the food smacks. You know it still kind of has, like, the thing about Atlanta I don't think people know. And maybe this is wrong. Maybe this is just an outsider's perspective. But it feels like little mini pockets that are all like kind of patched together where you can kind of get like almost a small time Milwaukee vibe with more black folks and like better food and better weather. The belt line, is that what it is? Is the belt line? All that like industrial spot. There's just so many cool neighborhoods that don't feel like a huge city. So I think Atlanta from a basketball standpoint is awesome too. You got Jalen Johnson. You got Dyson Daniels. You got Nikhil Alexander Walker. It's I think an amazing place for him to still get his, get his lick off.
He doesn't like, they're used to Trey Young doing whatever the he wants to F he wants to do.
What happened with LaMelo Ball running out with the wrong team?
So like you just replace Giannis. away from Trey, get rid of Trey. Trey Young sells tickets, send him to Milwaukee. And then it's kind of a win-win, I feel.
So you got Trey Young for Giannis straight up. No chaser.
I'll give you like a pick. I'll give you one pick. Maybe I'll give you your own pick back for 2026.
And if Milwaukee takes that, they are high as hell. They need to stay off the weed if they make that trade.
Get out the weed.
Man, that would be bad. But I like how you did not include Jada Johnson in that. Because if I'm the house, I'm not touching my boy.
What was the heated moment between Desmond Bane and OG Anunoby?
Nah, bro. This look like the future a little bit. If I squint. You feel me? What you think about him?
6'10". Getting crazy numbers offensively. All we knew to begin with was that he was already a defensive guy. A defensive monster. He's taking the leap. This team is the most... You know, like you see those girls and you're like, if you squint really hard, you're like, it's got a lot of potential to be wifey right now. The Atlanta Hawks are that. You can see the vision, right? They just have a couple of things that they need to sort of get figured out.
How is LeBron James performing like he's 25 again?
The center position. They got to kind of figure that out. They got KP there. They got Onyeka Kongu, who's awesome, who's a three-point shooting machine, but he's not a real big-bodied center. Looks like Clint Capella's on the way out. So they got to sort that part out. But they've got awesome perimeter defenders at the guard spot. They're just very, I don't know, they're just very sexy athletic, right? And I see the vision.
Yeah. I know you didn't think like on any God's green earth or planet down from the breeze past sexy athletic, like please define sexy athletic for us who may not know what that is specifically.
All right, I come from the Neil O'Shea scar PTSD where it's like we take guards that are six foot two and below. They can't defend. They're great shooters. They're offensive plus plus pluses.
What are the implications of LeBron's recent performance on the NBA?
But they can get strapped down, right?
Yeah.
Athletic sexy is like... 6'6 and above, crazy wingspan, jump out the gym, can handle the ball, can cut without the ball, dunks, jump shots, three-level scoring. And when you pair multiple guys like that together, it is scary hours.
