Word late last night. It finally happened. Yonis is on the move to the Miami Heat.

It seemed like it really was picking up the last couple days, whether it was going to be bossed or Miami, and then it was like, hey, this is going to happen before the draft. And here we are, day of the draft. We'll have a lot of coverage on a full episode of the pod, obviously tomorrow, and maybe some more thoughts on this trade. But the number one lesson in this is probably just to get it over with. I think this haul back for Yonis is incredibly disappointing.

It seems like I'm a bit on an island, and I understand if this is the market, this is the market, but then it's like, okay, well, you kind of box yourself in by probably should have traded them last year, maybe trading at the trade deadline. I don't know if the offers were significantly better people of our view that this offer was better from Miami than it was mid-season, but this is just not, this just doesn't get me excited. Anytime you're trading or somebody like this, and Yonis

is still to me like one of the five best players in the world who has helped these probably like three at worst. I need one piece coming back to get me really excited. And the most exciting pieces are probably the 2031 and 2033 unprotected picks. Tyler here was a nice player.

I would say he's better than I probably give him credit for. Now you have to pay him. Have fun.

Klauweir is an interesting player. I like him. We'll see, Yonis was it true? They didn't want to include Yonis in this deal. And Jaime Haccaz, who I think we all like because of how well rounded he is, he was also out of the rotation, I felt like for a year, so you're like, what's happening here? Individually, those pieces for Yonis, there's not one thing in that group. There's not one guy that I'm like, all right, well, hey, you're going to get the number four pick. All right,

or you're going to get this player that was just drafted, who was drafted really high and there's a chance that this guy could be kind of special. I mean, you're trading somebody who would at worst is like a top 20 player of all time. And I know that he's been hurt and I know that he's do a huge extension. Miami doesn't care. Like, can you imagine if you're arguing this package here? Can you imagine Miami saying, no, like, ah, we can't do all that for Yonis? I mean, to me, it's a no brainer.

And I don't think Miami is necessarily like awesome all of a sudden. They still have a lot of work to do. But if I'm a bucks fan, I'm so depressed about this being like, this is what we ended up with. They talked about competing before last season started. That was a waste of time.

I realized how hard it is to be in this spot because none of us have ever act...

be in this spot where you're the person in charge of trying to figure out some sort of deal. When you don't really even want to do this deal. But, you know, when you give up all the picks or drew holiday, everybody loves it. When you give up the picks and you move things around from Dame Lillard, you absolutely love it. When you pulled this creative cap maneuvering to bring in Miles Turner, because you used to stretch five, like it was expensive, but consensus back then was like

man, the bucks are so creative. Well, the problem is is that nobody talks about the rest of it.

Like the first, the two first round picks that they've had during the stretch of like five years that they've drafted AJ Johnson and BoChamp. Like it's like, oh, where are all the players? We're all the guys that we drafted. I'm like, oh, we don't. Well, everybody was happy when we did

this. We want to, yet, yeah, but you have to keep figuring out a way to reinvent this whole thing.

And they probably, this day was coming and it was so inevitable, but I just know one really ever seemed to want to admit it. Another aside is, um, is if you look at Jimmy Hazelms role with this, who owns the Cleveland Browns, who ended up thinking he pulled an absolute coup by bringing

into Sean Watson and having it blow up in his face in a way that few transactions have ever

gone as poorly as the Sean Watson has for the Cleveland Browns. If there's an argument to be made about owners doing just fine, if they keep buying these teams, despite what they cry about and CBA negotiations publicly, but he did the Watson deal. He had a trade miles Garrett, and he had a trade on us. And there's a report this morning that says that Hazelms was a little concerned in bringing Jalen Brown in, if you wanted to do the Celtics package, because he was afraid

that they were going to have to re-sign or worry about Jalen Brown wanting to move out.

Look, the Jalen Brown situation, I don't understand why people are so obsessed with this

contract being extended this summer. He is under contract right now for 57, 61, and 65 million

for the next three years, like not team options, not player options. Those are three hard and fast numbers for his contract. So if you trade for Jalen Brown, I don't know that that extension that everybody keeps referencing absolutely has to be done at some point. He's also a lot better than any single piece in this Miami heat deal. That can't even be debated. I don't know, I would think of Boston's offering him in. They really wanted him. And I don't know

if it's going to get like look at the next day and go out, Boston maybe they didn't really want them all that bad. Maybe they just wanted to drive up the price. This is Miami having Yaka Shona's versus not having Yaka Shona's change is everything now for the Miami heat's future. Probably not. But if they were including Jalen Brown and picks and everything else, it must mean that they really wanted him. Now you're left with a, what do you do with Jalen Brown

situation? Can you bring him back into the fold if you're Boston reports today that he is going to

be traded? If it's trade Murphy, I think it's awesome. If it's not trade Murphy,

still don't understand why the pelicans want to move trade Murphy. But if it's Houston, what packet, what piece of of Houston's young core do you like? Is it reachyeper probably not? Is it Tariysin? Well, he's about to be really expensive. Is it Jabari Smith? I don't know. Is it shingoon? Wait, which shingoon makes sense? For boss, I'm just kind of thinking out loud here because I, I understand like Milwaukee going, we're actually not

good. And if you bring Jalen Brown in, and he's this expensive, and he just had the year that he just had, and is that guy a little bit difficult? Like what's with him saying this past year was his favorite season of his entire career, which even, as I admitted plenty of times, and if you've listened to me, there are plenty of Jalen Brown moments from like, that's not my favorite. That's not my favorite moment. But I could understand him talking about the season with all the dowel and what it meant

for him to play to this level that so many people didn't think that he could play to. So I don't know if that was as selfish as it sounded because if you didn't like it, you just jumped on that. We're like, and you just want finals MVP two years ago. Do you want an NBA championship, and this one is your favorite season because you get to have a ball of time? There is a way of breaking down what he said and understanding it and not actually having it feel super selfish.

And as I said, if you flirted with him being out there on the market and then bring him back, there's so many people that say, "Well, you can't do that. You can't do that. I do think that's overrated." Usually you can bring guys back. But I wonder if their exploration of a Yannis deal

Had more to do with them going, "We need to be different.

Because after that first round loss to Philly, Granite Tainted in playing game seven,

but to blow that 3-1 series lead even with Tatum missing the last game. That was alarming.

It was alarming because it was the same stuff over and over again. And you really wonder,

and even Brad Stevens saying, "Hey, we weren't good against the other top 5 teams,

record wise. If you look at everyone else, besides us, we weren't good. That's a very specific thing for the man and charge your basketball organization to say." So I'm convinced they wanted Yannis

a lot that they really wanted them. But if Jalen Brown, despite being a much better single asset,

was not matched up with the timeline for what Milwaukee wanted, I think they accepted a lesser package

that maybe gives them more options moving forward. It's like, "All right, it's not the best talent right now comparing the two packages." But there's at least something, and then we have some insurance with these picks in 2021. Or excuse me, in 2030, one in 2023, that maybe, you know, who knows what if that ends up being like a top 5 pick, then the straight will look great. I don't know.

It's eight years, it's six and eight years from now. So as of today, I think it's a no-brainer for

Miami, even if they're probably not the top 5 in the East, still plenty of work to be done. And if you're Milwaukee, if I told you a year ago, this is the package that you were going to get for Yannis, you would have thought I was crazy.
