Years ago, a Nike exec told me that JKidd is gonna get fired from every coaching job he gets because for as good as he is at X’s & O’s and player development, over time he becomes insufferable and his personality starts to weigh on people.
GMs wishing there was a player that existed to counter Wemby.
In unrelated news, the trade market for Giannis is luke warm and teams aren’t sure about giving up a bunch of 1sts for him.
They cannot trade their 2030 1st (already protected to Wiz). So in those years down the road, they can only swap 2031 & 2033 and trade 2032. The picks before then are useless since they figure to be good, so you'd be waiting 5 years for assets w/o control of your own picks
"Everyone else is gonna have to try to beat a strong Golden State offer [for Giannis] if it comes."
@WindhorstESPN explains why the Warriors would be a major player if Giannis ever becomes available 👀
Template for local sports guy tweets over the next month:
The Bucks and [your team] discussed parameters of Giannis deal, but [your team] made it clear that [decent young guys x/y/z] would not be part of a deal. [your team] is unwilling to break up its young core for Giannis.
I did a bunch of profiles of important people with Milwaukee ties - athletes, authors, art visionaries - and we decided to package a few of them together and make a half-hour special out of it. Tonight on Milwaukee PBS ch 10 at 5:30pm; tomorrow at 11:30pm after the Ken Burns doc.
For what it's worth, Damon Jones is one of the funniest people I've ever met. Like seriously, he had us all crying laughing all the time.
Hope he's not guilty of the charges against him. Bummer, man.
IMO the tribute video for Khris was lame. He deserved waayyyyy better. What was shown was corporate and heartless. Crowd is going nuts for him so love is in the air.
