  • she's unstoppable.

  • Greek, Greek flush fitness, body weight.

  • Be honest, finishes ferociously.

  • All right, Tell the Bucks.

  • Have no plans to trade the back to back M V P.

  • Yeah, nostalgia Campo.

  • If he signs extension, that will be the end of it, and interested parties can move on.

  • But if he turns it down, the rumors and speculation will ensue.

  • However, no matter what happens, expect Johannes to remain with the Bucks through next season.

  • The team has no plans to trade him if he turns down that offer.

  • That, according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN Stephen A, it's no secret the Bucks have gotten bounced early.

  • Now, this season the season before.

  • Should there be concerned about Yanis in terms of playoff shortcomings?

  • Is that on him?

  • Well, to me, I don't think that's on him.

  • I don't view it that way.

  • Listen, he never had a jump shot.

  • As far as I'm concerned, I've been consistent about that.

  • But this particular postseason, for example, he averaged 26.7 points per game.

  • Okay, so I look at him from that standpoint.

  • I say this is what he brings to the table 26 8 to be exact with what?

  • The average.

  • But in the end, when I think about the Milwaukee Bucks, I think about Chris Middleton, who's really a number three guy, not a number two guy, even though one game without Yonas, he showed up and played big time.

  • For the most part, he's not that dude.

  • He's a really good player, but he's not that dude.

  • Eric Bledsoe don't get me started with him and how he performs in the postseason.

  • No matter what he does in the regular season, something is glaringly missing.

  • Come postseason time, and then you look at the other parts around them.

  • The Brook Lopez is of the world and George Hills of the World and others thes air guys that are good players.

  • They're not scrubs.

  • But what they do is they fit a role.

  • And when things are going great like they were during the regular season, when they were the number one offense in the National Basketball Association averaging 118 points per game, Aulas well, But what happens is the second things go arrived because, as I said, the Max on many, many occasions come postseason time.

  • Teams are able to get back on defense, they turn you into a half court team.

  • Suddenly, you don't get open shots like you do during the regular season.

  • Suddenly you gotta have a half court game.

  • Suddenly you gotta have perimeter shots.

  • And more importantly, you have to be able to create your own shot.

  • Because when you're in the half court set, it's not as easy to move the basketball and create off of that movement.

  • Open shots.

  • This is Milwaukee's problem, so they need toe upgrade significantly.

  • I find that to be a very difficult proposition for them to pull off, and as a result, I think they're in trouble of losing the Greek freak.

  • But in the end, do I put it on him?

  • No, he's a big boy who plays big.

  • It would be nice for him to get a perimeter shot.

  • But when this brother is averaging 26 plus and 10 plus rebounds and Lord knows what his field goal percentage shooting is usually over 50%.

  • I'm not gonna put it on him.

  • I'm gonna put it on the organization to get the requisite great passer too.

  • By the way, great passers on defender and he can shoot if he has an open shot.

  • Here's the issue.

  • You can't blame you, honest.

  • And this is why, as Stephen A said, he's a big The history of the N B A.

  • Is Biggs without a guy who's not a big and just about as good as they are, never win championships.

  • It doesn't happen.

  • Wilt Chamberlain, the second half of his career, got one.

  • He had Jerry West, right?

  • Uh, Shaquille O Neal had Penny Hardaway and Horace Grant and Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott in those guys.

  • He didn't win it with them.

  • He got to the finals with them.

  • He didn't win it with Penny Hardaway.

  • Not quite good enough when he had Kobe Bryant.

  • Then he was good enough to get a championship when he had Dwyane Wade in his prime.

  • That's good enough to get a championship.

  • Biggs don't win without another guy as good as them Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

  • Six chips, one with Oscar Robertson and five with Magic Johnson and none without them.

  • Even Kareem Abdul Jabbar needed a guy who was not a big and just about as good as him.

  • That's how it works.

  • Who does the honest have who's on his level, even if they were toe figure out a trade for Bradley Bills.

  • Bradley Beal A honest equivalent Maybe not quite, but maybe at least that would be trying.

  • But you know why they can't go get Bradley Beal now because the owners of the Bucks played them cheap.

  • They played the town of Milwaukee cheap.

  • They did not want to pay exorbitant luxury tax.

  • They let Malcolm Brogdon sign away.

  • Now, why is that significant when you make trades in the MBA?

  • Because towns like Milwaukee never sign top flight free agents.

  • It just doesn't happen.

  • Not like the superstar.

  • They don't sign in places like Milwaukee.

  • They go to Miami, Georgia bar forces where they walk, right, they get, they forced their way out just the way it is.

  • So what you have to do is figure out a trade for some.

  • When in the n.

  • B A.

  • You got a match up salaries.

  • How you gonna match up salaries now without cutting your team?

  • Not to mention who's gonna be left to acquire a guy.

  • They played the town cheap.

  • They played Yonas cheap, and now they're crying about how they want to keep him.

  • It's too late.

  • I highly doubt there'll be able be able to, because they won't bring in a guy who's good at Stephen, A said.

  • For all the reasons he brought, why is Rondo so so good in the playoffs?

  • The playoffs are much more about half court, much more about set plays, much more about like coaching like, you know, plays out of time outs and stuff like that.

  • Rondo knows all the plays, so when you're freestyling in the middle of the year and guys like Yannis are killing it, Rondo not is good.

  • But when it comes time for basketball, I Q and knowing exactly what to do, Rondo shines.

  • Yanis needs a guy like that at a superstar level to win a championship.

  • What did they d ever do in New Orleans?

  • And he had drew holiday.

  • He had some ballers with him.

  • Nothing until he got with LeBron a Non big judges go to star.
