What's up everybody? Welcome to RealGM Radio. Well, the Janus trade noise is back.

0:04.9

I'm going to talk about how we got here, what the bucks should look for if they are forced to trade them,

0:09.2

and then I'll put together some fake trades. Let's jump in.

0:26.2

So you've seen the reporting by now that Janus and the Milwaukee Bucks and Janus's representation are having discussions about whether or not Janus is going to seek a trade before the end of

0:30.5

this season.

0:31.7

And so we know how we got here.

0:33.4

The Bucks aren't very good.

0:34.8

They lost to the Wizards on Monday night.

0:36.2

Got a nice win over the Pistons Wednesday night, but that was after Janice injured himself five minutes into the game, non-contact injury, goes to the floor. They call it a calf strain, even though at the time, some people were throwing around the A word a little bit, very worrisome. Doc Rivers after the game ruled out that it was an Achilles

injury, but we should get some more information after an MRI within the coming hours or pretty soon

1:11.1

than the bucks we're letting on after the game on Wednesday night. So I want to cover a bunch of

1:17.5

stuff, but we've been talking about the Janus trade idea for, it feels like years. And every time

1:26.4

we kind of go down this road the Milwaukee bucks do something

1:30.4

and Janus will say something or do something or sign an extension and then it goes away and this is

1:37.3

the first time where it really feels like we've gotten to a point of yeah it feels like we're probably

1:42.9

at at the crossroads here. And this is to me,

1:48.1

at least the first time where I, if you asked me, hey, 50, 50, like, what do you think? Is

1:53.4

the honest on the Milwaukee Bucks to start next season or not? I'm at the point now where I think

1:57.8

probably not. And it's not to say that this thing can't be salvaged still, but this is also the first time where we've heard this in the middle of a year, right? This usually is an off-season type of conversation and when it's leading up to an extension. This is the first time it's happened in the middle of a season, and it's the first time when a Bucks team has been this bad. It's the worst start for the Milwaukee Bucks in 10 years.
