🏀 GIANNIS TO MIAMI
The Trade We've All Been Waiting For
Giannis Antetokounmpo → Miami Heat
🏀 The Heat Roster
| Player | Role |
|---|---|
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | Superstar |
| Bam Adebayo | Elite defense |
| Norman Powell | All-Star caliber |
| Bobby Portis | Making the trip |
| Erik Spoelstra | Head coach |
🏀 Mackenzie's Take
On the Front Court
Mackenzie: "Bam + Giannis is the front court we've never seen before. Maybe since Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon, except much more agile than Ralph Sampson."
On Giannis Doubters
Mackenzie: "Michael Wilbon went on a two-minute rant about what has Giannis done lately. Well, he took the Eastern Conference champion Celtics to seven games. You don't control when you're hurt. He's been one of the top 20 players of all time over the last five years."
The numbers: 30/12/7 in 2024-25 — "literally historic numbers"
On the Value
Mackenzie: "Twenty to one is a bad price. The Knicks are vulnerable — they're a Jalen Brunson injury away from not mattering. KAT had two points, six turnovers, and six fouls in the most important game of his career."
🏀 NBA Title Odds
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Oklahoma City Thunder | +250 |
| San Antonio Spurs | +260 |
| Boston Celtics | +600 (dropped from 3/1) |
| New York Knicks | +750 |
| Miami Heat | 20/1 |
Eastern Conference
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Boston Celtics | +225 |
| New York Knicks | +300 |
| Miami Heat | +600 |
Mackenzie: "I think those are bad odds. There's so many levers they can pull between now and the trade deadline. They're gonna be as talented as anybody in the East."
🏀 Other NBA Moves
Julius Randle → Nets
Three-team deal: Wolves trade Randle to Nets, Nic Claxton to Bulls
Mackenzie on the Nets: "They should move to Las Vegas. They are a wreck of a franchise. When's the last time you had a Nets conversation? When Jay-Z still owned part of them."
Dusty May → Dallas Mavericks
The move: Michigan head coach (national champion) → Dallas head coach a
The roster: Cooper Flagg in his second year
Mackenzie: "The X's and O's and leadership needed in college can translate in the NBA. Especially now in the NIL era."
🏀 NBA DRAFT TONIGHT
AJ Dybantsa: The Lock?
| Player | #1 Overall |
|---|---|
| AJ Dybantsa | -750 |
| When we called it | +150/+170 |
Scott: "Remember when we were giving him out talking about how we didn't like Peterson missing all those games at Kansas?"
The Sprinkle Play
Dybantsa to go #2? +650
"Jabari Smith was minus 3000 at one point when Paolo Banchero ended up being the number one pick. It happens."
Dusty May Angle
Dallas has #9. Dusty May's Michigan guys:
| Player | Odds to go #9 |
|---|---|
| Aday Mara | +425 |
| Yaxel Lendeborg | +650 |
Mackenzie: "I'd sprinkle on both of those."
Better market: "Has to be drafted by team" — in case Dallas trades down.

⚾ MLB: KYLE SCHWARBER WATCH
Colby's Question of the Day
Schwarber this weekend: 4 home runs (25 → 29)
Schwarber NL MVP odds: 35/1
Should You Bet It?
Colby: "What would Schwarber have to do to win NL MVP? He'd probably have to hit 65+ home runs and lead them to winning the division. 35 to 1's a massive number, but it's probably the right price. He doesn't do anything outside of hit. Meanwhile, Shohei Otani does everything under the sun."
The verdict: "I don't think he's gonna have a chance unless he becomes God in the second half. But the price is intriguing."
⚾ Hunter Goodman HR Leader
Jake & Colby gave it out Friday: 25/1
The edge: Plays half his games at Coors Field.
⚾ White Sox Update
Kyle Teel: Making his first start of the season (Monday)
Recent stretch: Beat Braves and Dodgers (first time since 2014!)
Colby: "Bad week in the Bronx, but regardless of anyone's ill will towards the White Sox, the culture development has been impressive."
