1. Recap of Atlanta Trip and Interaction with Steve Harvey

[02:38 - 05:17]

Dan Patrick and co-host Brian Windhorst kick off Hour 2 by reminiscing about their recent trip to Atlanta, where they participated in a celebrity edition of Family Feud hosted by the iconic Steve Harvey. Brian shares his enthusiasm about the experience:

"But he was the king of comedy once again. Yes, yes." [04:31]

Dan adds, highlighting the impressive facilities of Tyler Perry Studios:

"Tyler Perry Studios, it's a college campus in Atlanta and you go in and gates and then there's buildings, it's unbelievable sound stages, all kinds of movies and shows being filmed there and had a lot of fun." [03:06]

The duo reflects on the moments backstage, including a humorous attempt by Brian to impersonate Steve Harvey, which Steve himself found amusing:

"I think he was entertained by the fact that you thought it sounded like Steve Harvey." [05:06]

2. Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Speculations

[05:17 - 37:45]

A significant portion of the episode delves into the hot topic of Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential trade from the Milwaukee Bucks. The hosts analyze possible destinations within the Eastern Conference, debating teams like the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks.

Brian poses a hypothetical scenario:

"If I'm Giannis, I want to stay in the Eastern Conference. If my goal is to win another championship, the team that I would single out." [05:17]

The discussion touches on Giannis's impact on any team he joins, considering factors like team dynamics, salary cap implications, and future prospects. They explore the feasibility of trades with teams like San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets, emphasizing the complexities of modern NBA salary structures.

Brian asserts:

"I don't think you'll see a significant big move with the star player until there's clarity on what happens with Giannis." [27:34]

Dan offers his perspective on Giannis's legacy and flexibility:

"I think that's the year for the Chargers. This is the year for U of A." [26:30] (Note: This quote appears to be out of context and may refer to another topic.)

The conversation highlights the strategic considerations for both Giannis and the Bucks, including potential future contracts and team-building strategies.

[Brian Windhorst]

You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio Hour 2 on this Monday, Dan and the Dan Ants. Dan Patrick Show. In case you're just joining us, we did recap our trip to Atlanta with the celebrity Family Feud and Steve Harvey. We were sworn to secrecy. The episode will be out later on this summer. We, of course will let you know. But we went toe to toe with the Rich Eisen show. And I will say that Marvin and Fritzi had great days. You guys had, you know, great performances there. And I want to thank the opportunity to go there. Steve Harvey and his staff did a wonderful job, had a lot of fun. And man, I will say this about Tyler Perry. He's got some money because Tyler Perry Studios, it's a. It's a college campus in Atlanta and you go in and gates and then there's buildings, it's unbelievable sound stages, all kinds of movies and shows being filmed there and had a lot of fun. Steve Harvey did his stand up routine. Pretty much it's a, it's a standup routine inside a game show because you're not going to see a lot of the things that happen where he interacts with the crowd. But he was the king of comedy once again. Yes, yes. I mean, I know Steve Harvey just from like, you know, he's Steve Harvey. I remember Kings of Comedy and, you know, he's on TV and stuff like that. But I can't say that I necessarily followed him all that much. I've always enjoyed what he's done. And you're like hanging around backstage for.

[Dan Patrick]

A while and you're waiting and you're like getting dressed. They got coffee, they got some food or whatever, and then you get on.

[Brian Windhorst]

Stage real quick and then all of a sudden you're like, oh, my God, that's Steve Harvey.

[Dan Patrick]

Ste.

[Brian Windhorst]

Steve Harvey just walked out. I know, we're really doing this.

[Dan Patrick]

Steve Harvey just walked out in front.

[Brian Windhorst]

Of us and winked at us. Oh, my God. It did hit me. I, like, freaked out all of a sudden.

[Dan Patrick]

It was crazy how.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah. All of a sudden it's like, oh, boy, this is about to get real.

[Dan Patrick]

This is Steve Harvey.

[Brian Windhorst]

He just walked out. Yeah. And Fritzi was not intimidated at all. He did a Steve Harvey impersonation to Steve Harvey. Because I thought, well, I've asked you to do a few of Your impersonations right in, like, you know, Shannon Sharp. Right in front of Shannon Sharp. So why not do Steve Harvey and do the impersonation?

[Dan Patrick]

He's a good sport. He was a good sport.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah. And it sounded like this. I need Dan, I need Rich.

[Dan Patrick]

Let's. Come on, dude.

[Brian Windhorst]

If you. I don't know if he liked it or not, but I think he was entertained by the fact that you thought it sounded like Steve Harvey.

[Dan Patrick]

I got the impression he didn't think it sounded anything like him. This is a safe thing.

[Brian Windhorst]

In fact, I think he even said that sounds nothing like me.

[Dan Patrick]

How long have you been practicing this? Which doesn't sound anything like me.

[Brian Windhorst]

Brian Windhorse to the Mothership will stop by. Giannis wants out. Who wants Giannis? What can you get in return? If you're Milwaukee, does Joker go to the front office of the Nuggets and say, where are we going here? You're wasting my prime. And his age is similar to Giannis and probably looking around going, are we? The west is a whole lot tougher than the east. And if I'm Giannis, I want to stay in the Eastern Conference. If my goal is to win another championship, the team that I would single out. Okay, I'm going to let you guys guess. Marvin, I'll start with you. The team, if I'm Giannis, that I want to go to the Miami Heat.

[Dan Patrick]

Paul, I was going to say the Heat. I got to stick with my answer.

[Brian Windhorst]

Todd, the Rockets. This is the Eastern Conference.

[Dan Patrick]

Gonna go with the.

[Brian Windhorst]

Never mind.

[Dan Patrick]

Really?

[Brian Windhorst]

No, no. This is Family Feud, and you were told not to say. I was gonna go with, like on. On Family Feud. You have to just say the answer. You can't say. I was going to say thank you for a long seaton Eastern Conference team for Giannis, that I think he should go to the Knicks. I think there was some speculation, would the Knicks be, you know, one of those teams on his wish list. Cleveland Cavaliers stay in the East. Cleveland's young, and I think, you know, you could. You could lose a couple of those players. But if you're Cleveland, you're pretty close, and I think that. That, that might be, you know, an easier path if you're going to try to win a championship. Yes. Marvin, if you're Cleveland, who's the one.

[Dan Patrick]

Player you have to keep?

[Brian Windhorst]

Donovan Mitchell.

[Dan Patrick]

You think they're gonna.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah. Trade Giannis and still try to keep Donovan Mitchell? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't lose him. And. And remember, you know, with the Knicks, when everybody's all in on Jalen Brunson. I remember the New York reaction when they got Jalen Brunson and didn't get Donovan Mitchell. It felt like Jalen Brunson was a consolation prize. Dude's a star. And I've talked about this. There's. There's great players, and I don't want to dive back into this too deeply, but this, this proves my point. Jalen Brunson is more of a star than Jason Tatum. Jalen Brunson is more of a star than Jason Tatum. It doesn't mean he's a better player because Tatum is a, you know, first team, all NBA, whatever, five consecutive years. He's a great, great player, but he doesn't have star power. Jalen Brunson has star power now. It's how he plays, but also where he plays as well. He plays in New York and he gets up for these big games. But Shea Gilgis Alexander is not a star. He's a great player. There's a big difference. Anthony Edwards is more of a star than Shea Gilgis, but Shea Gilgis is a better player than Anthony Edwards, at least right now. Alrighty, poll question for hour two. I got some phone calls to get to and we'll recap. We talked about the NBA and Scotty Scheffler, the flag football in the Olympics. Got some information on that. You missed the first hour. Go to Dan Patrick dot com. All right, Seaton poll question, hour two. We got two up there right now. Who should be the most frustrated today? Maple Leafs fans, Nicola Jokic, Horse racing fans, or Texas A and M softball? We threw on there.

[Dan Patrick]

Battle Paul. Yes.

[Brian Windhorst]

Classic. Classic. Texas A M lost to Liberty. They did. I don't know why I know this, but I know this. I watched some women's softball Ohio State hitting bombs against North Carolina over the weekend. Well, right now, Texas A and M softball have about 16 of the vote, which is. Which is significantly more multiples more than horse racing fans. They're. They're the number one seed and they got bounced by. By Liberty. Right now, Maple Leafs Fans have about 57% of that vote. That's tough. We also have up there who will, who will get the biggest stardom boost from making the finals. Ooh, Shay, Gil De Alexander, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson or Tyrese Halliburton. Classic stardom boost poll. Yeah. Gosh, all of them will get a big bump. There's almost a three way tie between three of these players. Okay. Shay Gilgis, Alexander. Anthony Edwards is actually in the lead, but he's slightly Edging out Tyrese Halliburton and sga. It feels like Jalen Brunson is kind of already in that stratosphere. I mean, they haven't won anything, but when you watch him play in the coverage he gets, he's already there. Even though we've had Ant who's played in bigger games. Right. He played in, you know, went to the Western Conference finals, you know. Yes, Todd.

[Dan Patrick]

To me, how could it not be Brent if he leads the New York Knicks in that market to the whole thing and they win everything? Even if. Even though he's held already in high regard and he's considered their a star among those four. To me, you win in New York and win a championship, he's got to edge out the other three guys.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah. They led by 27 at halftime. That matches their biggest lead in a playoff game in the shot clock era as they dominated. They go to the Eastern Conference finals, first time in 25 years. But now, hey, did you see Timothy Chalamet when the fans were mobbing him? Like, I don't know if they're. If he's getting out of his car or he's in his car and they're mobbing him there. He's leaning out the window and I don't know if they're pulling him out of the car, but they're just mobbing him. You know, being a huge Knicks fan. Yes, yes, Marvin.

[Dan Patrick]

I love on social media, people were like, oh, Timothy Chalamet, you know, he's.

[Brian Windhorst]

A Johnny come lately.

[Dan Patrick]

And there's people posting stuff of him as a kid with like, Landry Fields and Andy Rowan. He's like, no, no, no, he's not new to this. He's true to this.

[Brian Windhorst]

No NBA, no NHL coming up tonight. I do like that. Not new to this. He's true to this. Always. All right, Paul in Iowa. Good morning, Paul. Best and worst of the weekend. Hey, Dan. Well, first I gotta shout out my.

[Dan Patrick]

Fellow Cyclone, Brock Purdy getting paid over the weekend.

[Brian Windhorst]

And then best and worst for you, the best of the weekend.

[Dan Patrick]

Best of the weekend.

[Brian Windhorst]

Caitlin Clark at the podium. Poise, respect, taking care of her teammates.

[Dan Patrick]

Fine. No bad words for the opponent.

[Brian Windhorst]

Just explaining that every play is just a play. Caitlin handled this weekend pretty well. Worst of the week, it's going to.

[Dan Patrick]

Be for a lot of Packer fans. I read Jeff Perlman's book a decade ago, so I know Brett Favre is not that good of a dude, but with the Netflix documentary coming out, it's going to be really rough this week. For some Packer fans.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah, I saw where I think it comes out on Tuesday and Brett Favre documentary. I didn't watch the Caitlyn Clark, Angel Reese game. I saw the highlights and you know, the one highlight that's gonna, you know, be isolated here is the flagrant foul that Caitlyn Clark had on Angel Reese. You know, there's a play before the play and, and a lot of times this happens. Boy, what led to that? If you see Angel Reese, you know, push forearm one of Caitlin Clark's teammates out of the way under the basket, got the rebound, was going to put it back and then Caitlin Clark Fowler and then pushed her. The foul is fine. The push is not. But it's a bigger deal because of these two. And all it does is, you know, make you circle the next time they're going to play. But Caitlin Clark, Caitlin Clark is, you know, one of the top three MVP candidates this year. And she'll. She's going to be great to start the season as opposed to last year where it took her a little while. She was exhausted. And I said, you know, she needed a break. She didn't deserve to be on the Olympic team. Don't put her on unless you're going to put her on and she's going to play. And I think that was the right choice. And then she was great the second half of the season, but there's a lot of momentum. Hopefully the WNBA is able to take advantage of this. But I, I don't want this to be isolated where all we're talking about is that one play instead of the, you know, the totality of the game and you know, hopefully the rest of the wnba. Let me see Andy in Rhode Island. Hi, Andy. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Dan and Dan X Man.

[Dan Patrick]

Dan, I hope that you can make it through a Fritzie because lately he's been fighting pretty very consistently as of late. I have two best for you, Dan, because I couldn't have anything left. First I'm gonna have to say, Dan.

[Brian Windhorst]

I have to shout you off and.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you and thank you for just putting us onto this treasure grill because.

[Brian Windhorst]

Me and my sister, we went and got my mom a wood Woodridge pellet grill.

[Dan Patrick]

She loves a dance. She's by far the happiest woman I've seen in a while. And my second has to go to Crystal palace breaking their 164 year drought of any major titles. And I can, I could say I felt Wembley Stadium shaking my house.

[Brian Windhorst]

And I'm all the way over Here across the pond. All right, well, thank you, Andy. And my best year mom with her Traeger Grill, Adam in Chicago. Hi, Adam. What's on your mind today? 1.91 meters, 77 kilos. Daniel, so you've been talking about two weeks going on now, but the hall of Very Good has been an awesome topic. And you said the Indiana Pacers are very much in the hall of Good. They got a TZ McConnell. They got a Benedict Matheran. They drafted Lori Markanen, which leads me into should University of Arizona, which the show has not been so kind to have their own wing or at least cafeteria area. Wait, the University of Arizona hasn't been nice to the University of Arizona, their basketball team? I. All I do is say every year they were the. The Chargers. Chargers in the NFL. I could be. Man, this is the year for the Chargers. This is the year for U of A. They have let themselves down. I. They feel we haven't been unkind to them. They've done this themselves. All right, continue. Okay, if you let me. Go ahead. Okay. Yeah, my bad. All right. Gilbert Arenas, Aaron Gordon, Richard Jefferson, Mike Bibby, Andre Iguodala, Jason Terry. They have to have a wing in the hall of Very Good. That's a, that's a very good suggestion there, Adam. Thank you. Luke Walton. You can put Luke in there. He wouldn't be the hall of Very Good, though. He would be the hall of somebody who's famous. The son of somebody who is famous there. Keith in Virginia Beach. Hi, Keith, how are you today? Hey, Dan, how you doing? I just want to call and. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is Keith who wanted to have a man cave and, and his wife took. Took over the garage and I think his mother in law as well, the storage. And, and you were, you were kind of depressed at wit's end here. So what's the update on the man cave? Well, morale is good today, Dan. I want to first call and say I appreciate the support group that you offered me. I was feeling down that day. And so when I took your suggestion.

[Dan Patrick]

I went to my wife, I thought.

[Brian Windhorst]

About it and I was like, well, maybe I just stick my chest out and go and say, look, honey, this.

[Dan Patrick]

Is what we're gonna do.

[Brian Windhorst]

You're gonna take your stuff out, I'm gonna put my stuff in, and we're.

[Dan Patrick]

Gonna go with plan A. What we started when we first moved into this house. And then I thought I tried that.

[Brian Windhorst]

Before, it didn't work out too well because I was eating fast food for two weeks. So I went prayed on the matter. And if I went in there and I decided that I would sneakily. Hold on a second, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

Let me make sure she can't hear me. Hold on.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah, you're talking tough. She's gonna be yelling at you. All right, what else do you have?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, so my best of the week.

[Brian Windhorst]

Is I finally got a little bit of stuff out, crap that she didn't care about. And slowly but surely, I'm going to take my man cave back over.

[Dan Patrick]

I was hoping that I could get.

[Brian Windhorst]

Some paraphernalia or at least a bobblehead or something from the real man cave.

[Dan Patrick]

To put in mind to make me feel much better and that you truly.

[Brian Windhorst]

Care about your listeners, Dan. Okay, I thought I gave you the support group. Now you want, you want gifts? All right, Keith, we'll put you on hold. Tyler, get your information. I'll see if I can send you something for your man cave. How about a round of applause for Keith?

[Dan Patrick]

That's he.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah, well, he listened. You know, these are teaching moments, you know, that's all. It's a teaching moment, and that's what I provided. Keith, we take a break here.

This is the struggle.

[Dan Patrick]

This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.

Every Friday we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like BusinessWeek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull. We'll take you inside the boardrooms, the back rooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick.

[Brian Windhorst]

I'll correct my kids now and then.

[Dan Patrick]

We'Re they'll say when cave people were.

[Brian Windhorst]

Here and I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here.

[Dan Patrick]

Didn'T have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

[Brian Windhorst]

More phone calls coming up. We'll give you our best and worst of the weekend as well. Got the draft Kings odds favorites to win the NBA championship. It's the Thunder by a significant margin and then it's the Knicks followed by the Timberwolves and then the Pacers. Brian Windhorst of the mothership, senior NBA writer and he was there for game six, Celtics and the Knicks. ESPN's coverage of the Western Conference finals starts tomorrow night, 8:30 Eastern with the Timberwolves and OKC. Wendy joins us. You know Here's a random thought I just had for you, Brian. If LeBron James would all of a sudden end up with the Cleveland Cavaliers, let's say end his career there, what does that do to your life? Do you then have to go back to Cleveland?

[Dan Patrick]

I was in Cleveland a lot this postseason. You know, the Cavs were, you know, if the Cavs, if a team is really relevant, I'm probably going to be there. I covered the Cavs Heat series in the first round and I thought I would be there for the Eastern Conference finals. I thought the Cavs were playing great. I really did not see. I respect the Pacers. I did not see them getting washed out in five. Yeah, I mean, you know, in my view, where LeBron's career is now, he's just in the total icing stage. He can do whatever he wants and it won't affect the way I think about him or whatever. I know that his legacy is a popular sports topic. I think it's whatever happens is fine. Like if he plays three more years and misses the playoffs, fine. If he plays one more year and hangs it up and they in the late with the Lakers and they don't make the second round, fine. Like to me, after he won the championship in 16, it was all cemented. And after that, you know, it's just a, it's just a part of building onto the resume. So I would cover it like I would cover any the rest of the league. You know, if I'm assigned there by my bosses, I would go. It's my hometown. So I always look for reasons to go there. I was happy to be there and in round one, played some golf, Thought I was going to be playing some more golf in Cleveland this summer, but that doesn't seem to be going to be happening.

[Brian Windhorst]

Well, the Cavs are playing golf.

[Dan Patrick]

They certainly are. They certainly are.

[Brian Windhorst]

Do you think that it's just Steph Curry will end his career with Golden State? LeBron winned his career with the Lakers?

[Dan Patrick]

Probably, yeah. I think Steph Curry will end his career with Golden State. LeBron. I'm, you know, high probability of Lakers. I would never cement it just because the Lakers are pivoting a little bit now, not a little bit. They've pivoted to Luca and so that makes their medium term future a little bit harder to predict. But LeBron has demonstrated repeatedly time after time after time, his priority is to be a Laker and to live in Los Angeles. So I don't, you know, unless the Lakers did something to him to change the way he feels about them, which is not their M.O. that the Lakers franchise has invested in almost more than anything else, invested in taking care of superstars. It's essentially their brand. I don't see that happening. But yes, I think that's, that's very likely where we're headed.

[Brian Windhorst]

Giannis had a. Reportedly a polite way of saying trade me or I'd be open to a trade. When does the market start? Where, I guess. Has it started officially of yes yet teams proposing yes.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't think you'll see a significant big move with the star player until there's clarity on what happens with Giannis. And nor should there be, because this could go a lot of different ways. And I do think, by the way, like, I may not have the best information on this. I'm not saying that I do. I don't think that Giannis is 100% said I'm out of Milwaukee yet. I think that would be a mis. I think that would be a mistake to assume that. Do I think that there's a growing possibility that that's, that he is going to want out? I do, and I think that the league does. In fact, frankly, Dan, the league has been watching this for a year. You know, I'm not saying that there are teams that have like haltered their organization to wait for this, but for a year. I mean, even at the trade deadline, there were teams who were like, you know what, let's just, let's just chill or let's just do this deal instead of this deal just in case we see Giannis available. People were keeping an eye on this for a year, and then when Dame unfortunately had that injury, anybody who would be a Giannis suitor applied the brakes to anything serious. And we'll see. I think as the playoffs go on and we get closer to the draft season, there will be an increasing tension that grips the league on waiting for Giannis to make a signal about whether he wants to leave. And then if he wants to leave, is there a place or places he wants to go and is he going to have control? Those are big, important decisions that are going to happen. And I think you could even, you know, this is an ironclad thing. It's all evolving. But you could even have a player like Kevin Durant sort of sitting on the, on the tarmac waiting to see what happens with his future until Giannis's future gets tied up. Not guaranteed, but you could see some, some teams that Durant would have interested in. Yan is potentially having interest in. In. And you're not getting both.

[Brian Windhorst]

Give me the team, though, you think has the assets to be able to pull this off to. We always look at trades from one perspective. It's like, man, they could get him if they give up. These guys. We never look at the other side. So Milwaukee's got to be intrigued by this. Who could get their attention?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I mean, I would assume that Milwaukee has been working on this. Again, not that if their general manager, John Horst was here, he would attest to this, but the whole league has been thinking about Giannis for a year. My guess is for some period of time, the Bucks maybe not on their main whiteboard in the front of their office, but there's a secret computer file somewhere where they have a list of interesting trades they'd like to make. The team that stands out with a bright, fresh flashing light is San Antonio. Because San Antonio has a couple of things that are very possible. Giannis trade. First off, Dan, in the modern NBA in the apron era, and I understand fans frustration, I have several friends who are big NBA fans who like snap at me and go, nobody understands this apron stuff. Nobody cares about it. Stop talking about it. Unfortunately, that's just the truth. In the modern NBA game, it's very hard, not impossible, but it's very hard to have three gigantic salaries, 50 million plus salaries. And if you do, all three of those guys better be awesome because you can't fill out the rest of your roster. And I mean, it's not impossible, but it's extremely difficult. And to invest in that, to go that route right now is very hard. So San Antonio has something that is extremely attractive, is that they have a star player in Victor Wembanyama who is on his rookie contract for several more years. And then even if he does get the max contract, his max will be sort of lower down. It's just like what happened with the Senate with The San Francisco 49ers and Brock Purdy, right? They were able to build out their team because one of their best players was making one of the cheapest contracts. So they have that. They have a star player on the minimum on a rookie sale contract. They have young pieces in house that would interest anybody, including Stefan Castle, who just won rookie of the year. And they are loaded with future draft assets, including two lottery picks in this draft and the number two pick. And they have large salaries on their roster that can make a trade, you could equal it. And so if you're Milwaukee, one of the most important things I have to say before anybody goes to the trade machine, if you think Milwaukee is tanking, you've got it wrong. Milwaukee cannot tank. They do not control their first round pick for the next five years. So if they make a Yan's trade, even if it is beautiful for four years from now and it results in them winning 17 games next year, they're going to have a party in New Orleans because that's who controls their pick. They have to have a real team on the other side of it. Unless they go to New Orleans and make the deal for Giannis and get their picks back, they have to have a real team on the other side of it. So San Antonio can give them real players, they can give them young players, and they can give them draft picks. That's the golden triangle. What we don't know is whether Giannis wants to play in San Antonio. And what we don't so don't know is if that's going to be a priority. If Giannis says to the Bucks, okay, I'd like to be traded, Whether or not they're going to work together, I would suspect that they would, but I don't know for sure. So you have a team like San Antonio, you also could put Houston in that boat. Houston has some of the same advantages, but San Antonio is farther ahead. If I was Yanis, though, Dan, and I saw the way the league was going and I saw the unfortunate situation that just happened in Boston, I would.

[Brian Windhorst]

Want to stay East. Oh, absolutely.

[Dan Patrick]

I would stay.

[Brian Windhorst]

I would, I would, I would say, you know what? Let, let me talk to Cleveland. Like, if you, you want to get a team that is ready to win and then that's his goal. I mean, the Eastern Conference, you're right. Boston's wounded, the Knicks are good, Indiana's good, 76ers aren't good. You know, so you start to look at the hierarchy there and you go, you know what? I could win a championship with one of these teams.

[Dan Patrick]

Here's where I once again have to use the word apron, because both of those teams are second apron teams. And it's not impossible. I want to be clear. It is not impossible, but I would need Bobby Marks and a bunch of spreadsheets to be able to have a real conversation. It's not like it was a few years ago, where you're like, if two teams deem it so it can, it can happen. And then you get into like, well, there's three team, four team, six team, 12 team scenarios. Yes, obviously if you had a battering ram and a will, you could make it happen. But really, these days, you have to consider that as well. But if Cleveland could get Giannis. Yes, I would. Seriously, I would take the phone call, put it that way.

[Brian Windhorst]

But San Antonio is still keeping Victor Wembanyama.

[Dan Patrick]

That's right.

[Brian Windhorst]

Okay, now how does that pair work together?

[Dan Patrick]

Beautifully, because Wembanyama. Well, here's the thing. Giannis is extraordinarily effective playing center. This is sort of an inconvenient truth, you know, for example. Well, I'm not going to get into that. I don't get, I don't get aggregated. I don't need that.

[Brian Windhorst]

We like when you get aggregated.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, your, your show is excellent at it. Giannis is probably a center in the modern NBA. Okay. But he doesn't really want to play center. But if you put in it's. And it's hard to play him a power forward, Dan, because he can't shoot. And it's even hard to pay him a small forward under circumstances. Circumstances because it's harder to get shooters on the court because, you know, so Wembanyama is in, is on his way to being one of the greatest big man shooters of all time. Like, he is dedicated to it. He is getting better at it. The spurs want him to do it. At the very least, he has to be guarded out there. And the way that you, you know, what you want for Janice is you want the floor spaced. And if you leave Victor to open the lane, Giannis will jam it down your throat. And if you leave, if you stay with Victor and open the lane, Giannis will jam it down your throat. And if you leave Victor, he will kill you. He will eventually be an, I think over 40% 3 point shooter. So. And then at the defensive end, you have length for days. And the spurs still have de' Aaron Fox, they still have other pieces that they can, that they have and assets they can continue to build. They could make. They could pay a king's ransom for Giannis and still have pieces to build, which is why to me, San Antonio, of all the teams, makes the most sense. However, having said that, if Giannis is in agreement with the Bucks, that we're going to work together and he has two years on his contract, that's sort of an awkward spot. You know, when Dame Lillard went to the Trailblazers and said, I want to be traded, the Blazers said, we're going to trade you, but you have four years on your contract. You're not have agency. And he didn't, you know, he was okay with Milwaukee in the end, but he wanted to go Other places Giannis is in is in the awkward spot. For Milwaukee to get the most in return, Giannis would really have to endorse where he was going, that he would sign an extension. Then you're gonna. Then you're gonna get more. Because if you're a team like San Antonio, maybe you're not giving Stefan Castle in both lottery picks this year. If you just think you're getting him for two years. You want Giannis coming and saying, I'm signing an extension with you, then you're saying, okay, you're going to be our Victor Wembanyama build out. That's what you're going to be for your back of your prime. And going into Victor's prime, that's what's going to be. So because of that, if Giannis looked at the Bucks and said, I only want to be in place X, the Bucks would probably be highly incentivized to try to make that happen. So if you have a team, because, you know, naturally, when a star player becomes available, there's certain markets that just, can we get him? The Lakers or the warriors couldn't win a bidding war. Like, if Milwaukee said the market's open, there's no way they could win a bidding war. If Giannis went in and said, I want to end. I want to be with Steph Curry, that's who I want to play with, is there a deal that could happen between those two teams? Yes. Yes. I would be lying to you if I told you the warriors couldn't trade for Giannis. That could happen, but it is not something that would happen if it was an open market, and we just don't know yet.

[Brian Windhorst]

Could you see Joker saying to the front office in Denver, what are we doing here?

[Dan Patrick]

I would hope say that, but I don't know that he would say that. He has never articulated that, and he has certainly never done it publicly, and I've never heard about it privately. But if you're looking at this team, there are two players short. You know, they're two players short. And what ended up, unfortunately, happening in this particular postseason was that Michael Porter Jr. Got hurt, and he was a shell of the player that he normally is. People were criticizing him, and I'm like, well, if you saw the way he played in the regular season, that's who he is. Like, he's. He's an imperfect player, but he's much better than the player he showed in the playoffs. And then, unfortunately, Aaron Gordon got hurt, and we'll never know what would have happened in Game 7. If Aaron Gordon was healthy, I don't know, he was a huge difference making player. And so all of a sudden you're down to like three guys you could trust on that team. And the build out of that roster is one of the reasons why the general manager got fired. People focus on Michael Malone getting fired. The general manager got fired too. And you know, it was because the build out of the roster fell short. That that team at the top end is a championship team. And. But they're not championship team in the middle, in the back end. And it's cost them two years in a row.

[Brian Windhorst]

What player, marquee player, star player of the final four would benefit the most from winning a championship? If you said Brunson, Shay, Gilgis, Ant man, or Halliburton?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, what Jalen Brunson is doing in New York is historic. And I think that would be the best story. And if you want to brand me as somebody who's works for ESPN and wants the New York team to win, that's fine. I'm from Cleveland. I live in Omaha. That story is amazing. And here's the other thing. Like, I don't. And again, this goes back to the aprons. And I know it's such a boring topic and it's a buzzkill, but Jalen Brunson taking that contract that he took.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Is going to be the gift that keeps on giving for the Knicks. The Knicks are here ahead of schedule. The Knicks strategy was to get some players in their 20s that they thought were together and then take advantage of Brunson's willingness to alter his contract and then build this team out over the next three or four years. They were really looking at the beginning of a window where they were going to out manage other teams in the salary structure because of what Brunson was willing to do. People attack that Bridges trade, and that's fine. You can attack the Bridges trade. You can, you can put up a beautiful PowerPoint presentation about it. The Bridges trade happened in conjunction with Brunson signing the deal where he took $100 million less. That's the only way to look at it. And Brunson doing that and then potentially leading this team through. You know, the Knicks as a team are not an elite. The Knicks as a unit are not an elite team. But they are so mentally tough. And they're so mentally tough because of Brunson and watching him do it and, and leading that team with his mental toughness is a very, very compelling story. But of course, I could tell you, Dan, any one of these four teams. It's really fascinating because you've got Ant Edwards, who's potentially an heir apparent. You've got the Pacers, who are a beautifully built team who are extremely fun to watch. Watching them play is extremely fun. And Tyrese Halliburton, when he is cooking is as enjoyable to watch as any player in the league. And then you have the MVP on on on a team that was built organically like the Oklahoma City Thunder are the blueprint of how to build a sustainable team. And they've won, they've got an MVP award and if you guys going to win the MVP in the next few days. So I think all of them are good, but I think Brunson's story, especially since the Knicks haven't won. Actually none of these teams have won. The Knicks haven't won since 73 and nobody else has ever won an NBA title. The Pacers never won in the NBA, obviously the Wolves and the Thunder. The Thunder haven't won since Oklahoma City. They won in the 70s in Seattle. But I think all of them are new blood that are interesting.

[Brian Windhorst]

Go around the room. Best and Worst of the Weekend Don Best of the weekend game six Friday.

[Dan Patrick]

Night at MSG after losing by 25 in game five at Boston Knicks, 38 point victory, largest margin of victory in the team's playoff history. Brunson, Anunoby, Bridges, Cat all had at least 20 points. Worst of the weekend I was pulling for Mark Scheifele in Winnipeg Saturday night to force a Game seven back home against the Stars. He scored a goal for the jets just hours after learning his dad unexpectedly passed away. Tripping penalty though with 15 seconds left in regulation set up the Stars to get a series clinching power play goal in overtime.

[Brian Windhorst]

Seaton Best and Worst My best of the weekend My guy, Brock Purdy getting paid. Let's go lad. Got an absolute fortune and saved the team a bunch of money. That's pretty good.

[Dan Patrick]

My worst of the weekend is the.

[Brian Windhorst]

Diamondbacks losing to the Rockies 1412. Not only did you lose to a terrible baseball team, but you put up 12 runs and still lost. That is the worst. How many wins do the Rockies have now?

[Dan Patrick]

Eight?

[Brian Windhorst]

I was going to say still less than ten. I Think still less than ten. All right, Marvin. Best and worst.

[Dan Patrick]

Todd took mine, but I'm going to go with the Dallas Stars winning in overtime to go to the Western Conference finals for the third straight year. That's consistency.

[Brian Windhorst]

Worst of the weekend, Russell Westbrook.

[Dan Patrick]

I thought he's supposed to be a spark off the bench. He only scored six points and he had a. The plus minus was negative 34.

[Brian Windhorst]

That's not good. By the way, those Dallas Stars, the green jerseys, they're. They're fire. Those are awesome. Paulie. Best and worst of the weekend.

[Dan Patrick]

I say worst of the weekend, it's obvious. But the Maple Leafs fans, I kind of feel bad for them. They're getting this reputation that's down in America, not just in Canada. Is that a team that can't close? Futility? It's. It's really rough, especially in game Sevens. Best of the weekend. Bryson DeChambeau, over the past couple years has changed his image, I think on purpose. He used to be kind of like that meathead tough guy five years ago playing the spoiler role. Now at the Masters, he was high fiving fans between rounds, every round. And now he, after losing, not winning, tied for second. He. What does the interview that he did not have to do after the round. He's doing well for his career.

[Brian Windhorst]

Yeah, yeah, that. That's been a makeover there. It's. It's cool to see. He's fun. Fun to watch. Hunter in West Virginia. Hi, Hunter. Thanks for holding. What do you have?

[Dan Patrick]

Good morning, Dan.

[Brian Windhorst]

Good morning, Dan. Ed.

[Dan Patrick]

Happy Monday.

[Brian Windhorst]

I've got a best and worst of the weekend.

[Dan Patrick]

Worst of the weekend was obviously Paulie alluded to it.

[Brian Windhorst]

The Toronto Maple Leafs falling to the.

[Dan Patrick]

Florida Panthers in game seven of the second round of the Stanley cup finals.

[Brian Windhorst]

In absolutely brutal fashion.

[Dan Patrick]

Six to one.

[Brian Windhorst]

Like Paulie, I feel bad for the.

[Dan Patrick]

Fans of the Maple Leafs.

[Brian Windhorst]

Like, they just can't get it done. They can't.

[Dan Patrick]

And then best of the weekend was when you reunited with your former cameraman and one time host of the Box.

[Brian Windhorst]

Score, Casey, on his podcast. I used to watch the DP show.

[Dan Patrick]

And the Box Score religiously back in the day when it was on DirecTV. And I still watch DP show to this day. I also have, and I hope it's good, I have a Jamie Jasta original.

[Brian Windhorst]

Recipe set of the day. You have the original music there, Marvin?

[Dan Patrick]

I got the music that's up here on the board.

[Brian Windhorst]

Oh, okay. I hope it's good. The last time the Toronto Maple Leafs advanced to the Eastern Conference finals in the Stanley cup playoffs was in 2002.

[Dan Patrick]

After they defeated the New York Islanders.

[Brian Windhorst]

In game seven of the first round and the Ottawa Senators in the second round. Also in game seven.

[Dan Patrick]

They would end up.

[Brian Windhorst]

Oh, terrible. I don't know what the stat of the day, what the purpose was, but Hunter, you went down in flames. Seaton, would you update the poll results from hour two, please? Yeah, we got two of them working right now. I thought he had it timed out that he's asking for the original stat of the day music. Yeah. You know how long it's going to be? All right, who will get the biggest.

[Dan Patrick]

Stardom boost from making the finals right now? Anthony Edwards has about 33% of that.

[Brian Windhorst]

Vote, followed closely by SGA and Tyrese Halliburton. Jalen Brunson is in last there. And then who should be most frustrated today? Maple Leafs fans have 56% of that vote, followed by Nikola Jokic and Texas A and M softball.

[Dan Patrick]

Horse racing fans.

[Brian Windhorst]
