All right, welcome in to a new episode of The Zach Lowe Show.

We got a lot to cover.

I was away for a few weeks. It feels like nothing happened, but a lot of little somethings happen. We're going to talk about Janus. We're going to talk about what hasn't happened or didn't happen with Trey Young and the Atlanta Hawks. We're going to talk about the restricted free agents. Still in limbo. what's going to happen with Jonathan Caminga, Quentin Grimes, all those people.

Lucas signed an extension. We'll hit that. Talk about the Lakers. Talk about LeBron. By the way, the new LeBron ad. I don't know what to make of that thing. It feels like something that belongs in Dune or something. The weird voice of like it's a child, but also sounds a little bit like an alien. And LeBron's making a weird face that's sort of like a mean face, but also like did he smell a fart or something when he puts the crown on, the Forever King? What's interesting about that, though, is it feels like to kind of ad you would do if you were indicating,

like, are they indicating this is going to be his last season? I don't know what to make of any of it. And so I'm just going to leave it there. What else do we talk about Kevin Durant? Matt Ishpia comes up. De Aaron Fox. De Aaron Fox signed a big extension. We'll talk about that. We're going to hit the whole league. And then Sean Fennessey comes on for Metz Corner.

It's been a wild ride on Metz Corner for the last month or so. So we'll talk about all that coming up on The Zach Lowe Show. This episode of the Zach Lowe Show is presented by HubSpot. Using only 20% of your business data is like going from a starting five to a starting one. Good luck with that.

vacation i took my microphone and everything just in case something crazy happened while i was abroad

like janis or lebron nothing crazy happened but a lot of stuff kind of did happen if you in dribs and drabs if you paid attention so we're going to go rapid fire through what did I miss while I was on vacation I've actually been back for a few days but there's no point in doing anything right before Labor Day weekend okay what did I did I miss? We're going to hit 12 topics,

I think, at all, maybe 11. I can't remember. Number one, the Janus roller coaster.

Early in my vacation, I started firing off text messages to all the teams you would expect because

Shams Trania reiterated his report from May or June or whenever it was that Janus was looking around,

considering his options,

open, considering his life like we all are, what options are before me as the Bucks sort of

try to figure out life post-Dame with Miles Turner. What's happening with the Bucks? I fired

off the text, something going to happen. Where's my microphone? Then just two days ago, Thanasis. The most unstradable player in the NBA, Thanassas de Tentacumpo, the Thanasis atentacumpo, re-signs with the Milwaukee Bucks. Shams reports that that's a tell that Janus is going to stay with the Bucks this season. Everybody rejoices and breathes

a sigh of relief. Love Thanassus. What a life Phanasis has with the Milwaukee Bucks. I will say

there's probably, I would imagine among Bucks fans there's some clowning of Shams going on. Like,

oh, you were just BSing this the whole time.
