  • also, so at the end of the day, I want him to do what's best for him and his family.

  • He knows that I deeply want him to return and signed the extension.

  • But at the same time, I know he's got a decision that he's gotta work through himself and with his family at home, because those are the most important people now in efforts to keep you honest, the Bucks have acquired through Holiday and also attempted to bring in Bogdanovich until the deal fell apart.

  • Max, If Milwaukee doesn't make any moves, should Yana sign the Supermax extension with the Bucks?

  • And Max, I said you first.

  • No, we shouldn't.

  • And I know that's a lot of money to leave on the table.

  • But the way the MBA structures things, no one leaves before six years.

  • If they demand a trade or seven years, if they leave in free agency because you leave too much money on the table, you want that first Mini Max deal, which honest already had He made $100 million so he's gonna be fine, not counting anyone's money, but let's be realistic.

  • It's not like the dude hasn't made money yet and isn't in a position where he doesn't have to grab right now because he hasn't come into the big cash right?

  • That's number one.

  • Number two.

  • Yes, they made moves.

  • I love Drew Holiday.

  • Let's take a player similar to Yonas, at least in terms of value and size.

  • Right?

  • Anthony Davis?

  • A lot of people might say right now is better than you.

  • Honest.

  • I don't know.

  • Anthony Davis, right in his prime, had Drew.

  • Holiday had MEREDITH, who was hurt but was healthy for the playoffs, Had Rondo had a nice little team around him, did nothing in the playoffs into anything.

  • And you know why they didn't do anything?

  • Because if you're a great big and you're honest, can handle the ball.

  • But in the playoffs he plays like a big right.

  • You need another dude who's just a good as you.

  • But it's not a big shock needed Kobe or Dwyane Wade.

  • Kareem needed Magic Johnson or Oscar Robinson like this is the way it works.

  • You need a big needs.

  • Enough Drew.

  • Holiday isn't excellent player Love Drew Holiday.

  • He and Chris Middleton.

  • Now you're on to something you need.

  • Mawr even had the Bogdanovich trade gone through, I still would have said They're a little light and the problem guys is The owners played Milwaukee and Johannes cheap last year when they let bragged and walk out the door so they could avoid a steep luxury tax bill.

  • Because Brogden forget about how much value he has on the team could have been used to make an additional move.

  • You need so much in the n Beto win a championship.

  • LeBron had Kyrie and Kevin Love and was overmatched in the finals because of the super team in Golden State.

  • Right?

  • We looked at all the excellent teams in the West and they didn't have anything for the Lakers to the Lakers.

  • Had LeBron and a d.

  • Where is the other superstar on the Bucks?

  • Let me tell you where he is.

  • He ain't coming.

  • He's never gonna play with that guy if he stays in Milwaukee.

  • If Yannis has already said championships of the most important thing, if he believes that, he's gonna have to leave.

  • You want this and you want me?

  • Let me tell you now, let me get him real quick.

  • First of all, Max, let me tell you What?

  • You were wrong.

  • Alright.

  • When Golden State beat LeBron James, Kyrie and Kevin Love both were injured.

  • Kyrie got injured in game one.

  • Kevin love them playing that Siri's when Kyrie and Kevin Love did play, they want the next time I'm talking about with k d the work k d t k with This is what the Katie teams.

  • This is what I'm telling you, Max.

  • Okay, At the end of the day, this is what I'm saying.

  • When you look at Yanni's, I'm gonna go back to the point when you look at Yonas and you look at the situation that he's in, he's holding the keys.

  • The Milwaukee organization?

  • Yes, they may have dropped the ball last year by not bringing Brogden back, but they're making up to Yonas.

  • You have a new gym, They're building stuff around you there, They're listening to your needs.

  • They went out and then there was aggressive in free agency.

  • They picked up All Star type player, a two way player, Andrew Holiday and you still have all starring Chris Militant, who you love so dearly.

  • And Johannes, You are the defensive player of the Year and the M V p.

  • So maybe it's time for you toe up your game, Max.

  • You keep talking about giving Mawr having Mawr.

  • If for having a Big Three like that with a M V.

  • P on there is not enough, I don't know how much more you could get.

  • And on top of that, listen, he also let me tell you how much Milwaukee is catering to Yonas.

  • Not only is his brother sitting on the bench, you know, collecting the chicken and using up a seat, you know, just because his brother is John is on the coop.

  • Oh, that's that's one thing.

  • But then, on another thing about in the past, guys like the great Shaquille O Neal Grant Hill, who are who came back after they retired and said in stories talking about you know, they said they only regrets that they had was leaving their franchises too early and not watching it play out.

  • If that's not enough information for Yonas alongside getting 200 plus million dollars and the organization is catering to you, I don't know what else you need.

  • Here's where I'm coming from, guys.

  • I agree with KP, albeit for some different reasons.

  • but I agree with KP that Yannis just signed.

  • First of all, get your money First.

  • You can always be traded later.

  • Get your money first.

  • Uh, that's number one.

  • Get that Supermax deal.

  • Get that money and go from there.

  • That's number one.

  • Number two.

  • Last time I tracked Drew holidays is a pretty damn good player.

  • Not only did the average 19 game or 45% shooting, he's one of the elite perimeter defenders in the game, you know, and anybody who's played this game would tell you that this guy is special on that level Number three when you take into account what they tried to do now, if they didn't open their big fat mouths and reveal that essentially they were gonna have Bogdanovich, he'd be there, too.

  • So that was That was a floor on their part.

  • And there's no excuse for that kind of ineptitude, no doubt about it.

  • But still, when you look at the Milwaukee Bucks, you could make a legitimate argument that right now there's still the number one seed in the east.

  • The bottom line is K D is coming back.

  • As you said, Max, you don't anticipate it will be 100%.

  • What's he gonna be like?

  • You've complained about Kyrie Irving and the kind of cancerous affect you deem he has had on rosters and could potentially have on this roster.

  • So that's a reason not tohave.

  • Brooklyn elevated.

  • Even though I believe Brooklyn is, you haven't so when I look at Milwaukee right now and what drew Holiday brings to the table on both ends of the floor and the fact that you got him with Jonah said to the coupon.

  • And then we're looking at a guy with Middleton.

  • Middleton's gotta step up, no question about it.

  • But while we're sitting opinion condemning Chris Middleton from time to time, let's remember the guy has averaged.

  • He averaged 20 last year.

  • He's a career 16 point per game scorer, but he averaged 20 last year, 18 a year before.

  • He shot 45% from the field, 41% from three point range.

  • He's a career 39% shooter from three point range in a career 45% shooter.

  • The brother could score and he can play.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

also, so at the end of the day, I want him to do what's best for him and his family.
