  • And yesterday was a wild day.

  • It kicked off when the Thunder traded Chris Paul to the sons for a package that includes Kelly uber Ricky Rubio, tie Jerome and a 2022 1st round picks.

  • So we had that deal.

  • Then the Bucks and the reining back to back M v P.

  • Yanis adding some major pieces as they traded for Drew Holiday.

  • And they did a sign and trade with Sacramento for Baghdad Bogdanovich.

  • So they get better.

  • And then James Harden, here's the headline turned down an extension from the Rockets that would have been worth around $50 million.

  • Harden is reportedly looking to join K D and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn.

  • And look who it is.

  • It's been far too long since we've seen Adrian, where Danowski, our insider extraordinaire.

  • Whoa, Let's talk about Harden.

  • What is the very latest on his desire to join up with Katie and Kyrie in Brooklyn?

  • Well, Green is, you said we reported that he turned down that extension.

  • He's got, uh, two plus years left on his deal, so it would have been an ad added on, and hey would have become the league's 1st $50 million year player.

  • He may still do that at some point if he gets traded and signs an extension elsewhere.

  • We decided to do it in Houston at some point, but he would like to be with the Nets.

  • He feels feels as though, uh, that the championship window, uh, toe win in Houston with his group has passed.

  • But right now there has been contact between the Rockets and the Nets, I'm told, but no real substantive talks.

  • The Rockets have the ability to here to play this out.

  • Uh, try to repair this relationship different than the Anthony Davis situation.

  • He was in the final year of his contract.

  • He still has two years left in Houston.

  • Hardened does.

  • And so there's not an urgency to move on this for the Rockets.

  • And they're not acting with urgency in terms of trying to find a deal for James Harden and that includes in Brooklyn.

  • Do the Nets have the kind of package to offer if they choose to That would make the Rockets interested?

  • That remains to be seen greeny.

  • I think the Rockets, if you're going to trade a player of James Harden's caliber.

  • There's gotta be one dynamite knockout asset.

  • That's either maybe a young all Star player, maybe a draft pick or multiple picks pick.

  • That might be the very top of the draft.

  • That's not what the Nets have to offer.

  • They'll have.

  • They might have picks that probably would be in the twenties based on a very good Nets team.

  • They have good young players.

  • Very good, but not star level guys.

  • And so right now, this isn't a potential package that has the Rockets wanting to rush into it.

  • How difficult will James hard and if it all, will he make it on the Rockets through, um, in the next weeks months?

  • Does he create a scenario where they have to move him?

  • That's one way to do it as a player.

  • But right now, the Rockets still would like Toa work, work it out with them.

  • All right, so it doesn't sound like this is necessarily imminent.

  • Meanwhile, let's talk about Milwaukee.

  • They add the pieces we talked about Holiday and Bogdanovich.

  • So what does this mean for their future?

  • And be honest, his future?

  • Yeah, greedy.

  • The Bucks went a long way last night, withdrew holiday Bogan Bogdanovich with Sacramento, uh, to putting themselves in a great position, uh, to get Yannis to sign that five year Supermax contract.

  • Listen, Yonas has been, I think he loves playing in Milwaukee.

  • He loves the city.

  • He loves the organization.

  • Uh, he's a player that I think has been looking for reasons to stay, not reasons to leave.

  • Now he hasn't made a decision yet.

  • He certainly hasn't shared a decision.

  • But I think there was a lot of excitement last night and that bucks organization that they walked away with two high level players, uh, ahead of the draft here.

  • And I think there's some growing confidence that perhaps they've done enough to keep Yanis from from entertaining three idea of free agency next summer.

  • All right, he seems awfully important.
