I'm not going to allow you guys to just skip past that to tell me about Miles Turner when I've got a timeline. And the Hawks. You can't tell the Miles Turner story without telling the Damian Lillard story. Damian Lillard wave. Now there's more action there. What's happening? Chris Haynes. It doesn't stop trading. Chris Haynes is going to go whale watching now, huh? Chris is cool.

This is a point for standing pat, by the way. I will say, because things are opening up a little bit, but Chris Haynes is reporting that Giannis is not happy about Damian Lillard getting waived. Now, you could wonder what that's all about, because it's not like Giannis was counting on Damian Lillard to be there. Or he can piece tea leaves together, Stu Gatson. I know you like to do this. We know from the Damian drama over in Portland...

Chris Haynes is Damian Lillard's guy. What if Damian Lillard fed this to make Damian Lillard look a little bit better? Oh, Yannis misses me. And he co-signs that with Yannis, which is the superstar doing the superstar thing when he wants to get out there. And also, trades from eight years ago that actually happened today. Dario Saric and Jonas Valanciunas got through for one another. Wow, still playing, huh? Stu, can you name where either guy is?

Valanchunas, I think, was with Sacramento. Yeah, there's a good bet. If you're not sure where someone went, guess Sacramento. Sacramento.

And Sarich, the Suns is two teams ago in Denver. I saw him wandering around with that mustache on the bench of the Nuggets this offseason. Collecting money. Yes. Did not even get in the game once. Juju, thank you for joining us. I know you saw the voting much different than the fan voting. Kaitlyn Clark voted the ninth best guard in the sport, according to her peers. Yeah.

I think it's some context that has to be added there. You feel me? Kaitlin has missed seven games due to injury. And as we all know, your best ability is your availability. So I think that's what's happening with the players. A smidgen of hate. I can't lie. A smidgen of hate to be number nine. I would go about like number five or six.

But yeah, her missing games played a big part in that. We were talking about transactions among the men. How about Vegas and Dallas surprising? I hate it when players are traded and are totally surprised by it. Had no idea it was coming. Right. That was a big shocker. Melissa Smith traded to the Vegas Aces. And we all know her girlfriend, Dejanay Carrington, also plays with her in the wings.

So they were both blindsided. They both took to Twitter and told us how heartbroken they are. But it's not a bad thing to get to play with Aja Wilson right now. And the Dallas is more in the rebuild stage because they got a lot of big players over there, but not necessarily a lot of space to play them. So I think it's a good trade, but still definitely heartbroken when you got to leave your shorty.

That one hurts there, but you're saying you're putting the spin on it, but I get to play with Asia. That right there is also probably one of the other places where we won't get to full equality amongst both leagues. Thank you, Mike. I'm glad you brought that back. Can you imagine Valanchunas and Sarich are dating one another? This is awkward. I can't imagine it. I'd like to imagine it.

Right. And Mike, you took a little bit of steam earlier. We had this conversation about a month back with the girls from Jocular, the Jocular podcast, Adam McKay's new podcast with TN Tran and Katie Kershaw, where I asked them, when am I allowed to dislike a WNBA player?

Now, I have a little more context than you have with this Angel. But I see Marina Mabry. I'd be like, I don't like her. Can I just not like her vocally? There you go. I appreciate that perspective. I definitely agree. And I also appreciate you falling for Dan's trap of making me an Angel Reese hater when I just used her as an example. But that's true equality. To be able to irrationally hate an athlete regardless of gender, that's when we know we're even.

Roz has just sent me a text that says that Angel Reese, Eastern Conference Player of the Week, please show this to my client. Can you clarify? Number one, it's Mike. And number two...

I don't hate Angel Reese, but now I do. 24.17 rebounds, seven assists in her last game, too. Bad timing on that one. But we all know my brother Mike don't hate her at all. Until now. Until now. Thank you. Maga Mike Mondays is where we're headed. Top five handles earlier in the show. Surely you had opinions on that list.

What did you think of AI climbing into a bracket where he could be found with Kyrie Irving? Yeah, that inspired me to make my own top five NBA handle list ever of all time. Maybe we can get to Greg Cody's list of one, maybe. Maybe one handle, no? One handle, I can, yeah.

Oh, yeah, you're right. Now that you're asking nicely. At the end, we'll close the episode. We'll get the big finish of the top one Greg Cody handle. Thank you for doing that for us. Do you have it still? I mean, it's written down. Okay. I mean, it's committed to memory. All right. Go ahead, Juju. It's a lot to remember, as you know. So many. O-L-I, Stevie Franchise. Tier four, according to that bogus list. Right. Number five, Jamal Crawford. Wow.

Number four, Jason Williams, White Chocolates. He should be tier two. He was tier three. That's bullshit. Right. Number three, Allen Iverson, The Answer. The Answer.

Number two, Kyrie Irving. Here comes Pistol Pete. Wait a minute. What's he going to be put higher than Kyrie Irving? Guns up. And number one, skip to my Lou, Rafer Austin. Disrespectful. You got to fire up the Pistol Pete VHS. Jeez. God, Rafer.

Rafer on the ball. I mean, skip to my Lou. We will get it at the end there, Greg Cody, from you. Number one handles of all time. But let's update some polls first here for us, Juju. Yes, sir. And while I get grabbed to pose, Billy, I got a little something for you. Chelly is allowed to be angry, but she should be a little bit more angry at herself from Love Island because Ace is

Coco was very good. Coco, he eliminated Coco with thinking, you know what? This is going to bring me and Shelly together. Ready to close things off, it looked like. Exactly. And as soon as he let her back in, she said, oh, I want to keep things open with Chris, the 6'8 stallion. And now he's in love with Huda, but Huda did take it too far. Hey, yo. Neither here nor there.

Does there need to be a match in order for there to be a rematch? 97% of the audience says yes, there does. We're going to have both. Small brains. Got to think bigger. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Right. And the last poll. Is it okay for you to say that you've taken a bigger crap than someone if you say it respectfully at the end?

69% of the audience says, yes, you can. What a victory. Billy, always a man of the audience, a man of the people. Go ahead and finish us up here, Greg Cody. The number one top one handle of all time when a handle's a nickname and not handling a basketball is... The leather loop strap on a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air.

Bit wordy. I'm glad we waited for it. Couldn't come up with five. When you got one that good, how can you come up with four more? Played Hurt, delivered a bar.
