The Miami Heat are a strong contender to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
I think, I think Miami is a strong contender to trade for him at this moment. I think there are some other teams that are, can and will make compelling offers leading up to the draft. But I think Giannis, that's a place where I think Giannis wants to play.

I am hyped for what the New York Knicks in the NBA finals are gonna look like at MSG. I think it's gonna be absolutely nuts. The crowd is gonna be nuts.
Victor Wembanyama choked at the end of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
So he choked. That was a big time choke at the end. Like he, you gotta look before you throw that pass. It was a ill-advised pass to make. And then out of frustration, he just, he commits a bad foul. I, I think [Wembanyama] is to blame, obviously for everything that happened at the end of this game.
Mitch Johnson should have called a timeout for the Spurs before Victor Wembanyama's late-game turnover.
I thought Mitch Johnson not calling a time out there was crazy. They have one time out left, there's seven seconds left... Call time out, call up your best play. If Brunson on the floor attack Brunson... you get a shot to potentially win without the risk of losing and regulation, which is what ended up happening.

View profileTrae Young's contract is one of the worst in the NBA
In this current day and age in the NBA... you cannot afford to have a contract on your books that's a massive overpay. And there was nobody bidding that for Trae Young. To give Trae that contract, it just, it kills you... if I would amend my statement to 'It's one of the worst contracts,' if that's what you consider a victory, then I'll concede that.
The Wizards only gave Trae Young a max contract so they could bench him and secure the #1 pick
They already promised him they were going to sign him when they traded for him. And the reason that they did that was because they needed him to not play. Because if he had played, they might have won a bunch more games and they might have not gotten the number one pick. So they told him like, Trae, we're going to take care of you, don't worry. So we're on the same page, we're invested in you, we're going to bench you.
Jaylen Brown's trade value around the NBA was shockingly low before his trade to Philly.
I did not have a feel for how low of a value that Jaylen Brown was in the NBA. I just didn't have a feel for it. Teams were rejecting Jaylen Brown, the offers, even for the draft picks, like three and four picks. They were rejecting it.
