Let's talk about Janice Antenacupo, somebody we keep talking about. Again, someone we keep talking about. Obviously, Janus is in trade rumors. I'm going to name to you some NBA stars that he could team up with by being trade to their team. I want you to grade how well he would fit with these stars. Okay. So A through F, imagine this duo. Would they take the lead by storm or would there be disappointments?

Gotcha. First off, Luca Donchich. I think they would be a disappointment. But they're so talented. They can't be like an F or anything. Brody, they would win the finals. That would be incredible. They would win the finals?

Yes, they would win the finals. Potentially, but the last time I seen him with a ball-dominant guard. Shut up, nerd. This is Luca Dantzes and Janus. This is the third and fourth best player at, like, worst. No, it is that for sure. Yeah. You are putting those two guys together.

I have enough faith in both of them that they can figure out a way to play basketball together. I agree with you. I'm not going to give a nay, though, because I do think while they are talented, they would be great. I'm going to give it a B because I think they're willing. would be legit fit issues. They would have to change some serious parts of their game and it would be a little clunky. So I'll go B plus, even though talent-wise, it's obviously the best you can possibly do. Man, man, man, of all time if you put him alongside Luca.

Well, would he want to set enough screens to really be able to run and dunk that much? I don't know. That's why I was worried a little bit. They might just be taking turns. It might be a little clunky. And if they take turns, they're dropping 80 on your head combined. You can still win a championship. Exactly.

Which is why they'd be a B-plus. It wouldn't be a synergetic fit, but they're so talented, it could still work. Yeah Victor Momajava This is This is A minus We can't let it A minus

Defensively A plus plus Offensively It would still work I think I would not work Offensively Imagine a Brooke Lopez

Could Hesie Tween And step back three And also Catch Lobbs And dunk in everybody This is an A plus plus Plus plus This is one of the

Great Duel of all times This can't happen That's why it's an A plus I would like There's no way To solve this Or scheme around this At all

Other than hope and pray that someone twuses their ankle. 100%. And you know what? There's a good chance somebody will with these guys a track record at this moment.

But if they're healthy, I don't know how you stop this. Like they're literally unguarded. You got the scariest individual in transition since prime LeBron James and Janus and then you got someone who can do it anything imaginable

on the basketball. I think they could hold hands and their collective wingspan. They could run a two-man zone and you never score at the rim you just can't get there. Oh, I got some defense for him. I'm cooking up some stuff.

What you got? If this happens, call me, I got you. What's you doing? Who's on speed, I'm not giving away the sauce for free. He's doing illegal activities. You have to hire me first. I need to check.

He's calling the guys that Gilbert Rienes was running with. I do not know them. He said, Chauncey Bill was asking for the plug. I do not know him. His mumfoy just calling Ghostbusters. He called no one.

He's calling the soprano. Yeah, A plus. This would be basketball and Nirvana. It's almost too good that it can't happen. It can't. Alper and Shangoon. They traded him in Thompson and got them together as a dude.

How would it work? I never really thought about this, but the type of passes that Sangoon, how he would feed Yonis would be ridiculous. It would certainly be clunky. It's not an A plus or anything, but Shingun has obviously played a lot with bad spacing. He knows clunky. Now, he can make it work. Could Yonis make it work, though?

Yes. Because Shinggo can space a floor a little bit. I think so. He can knock down enough threes. He shooting real well this year. Yeah, like I can see him do a couple sides of here and there. B minus? Yeah, they've played nothing like Yonis wants to, but if they figure it out and they

and I trust their coaching stat to make it work, they could bludgeon the shit out of people. It would be harder if men was there, though. Oh, no, they're trading a men for Yonis. Damn. They have to. How else how would they get them? Yeah.

Unless you trade Sengu. No. I could have put a men on here, but that's less interesting. Yeah, no, no, I got to keep Sankoon. Yeah. But I don't know. It would be really weird. Like, it would be this, like, big to big stuff.

Jonas has to play in small areas, do a little more post stuff than he likes to. Dunker Spot Yonis a little more. Yeah. I could envision this working because I saw a world where, like, Chris Middleton, he wasn't playing the same, like the same role, obviously, but he was very much like the in-between game guy and Zingun has that in his bag as well. So I can see it working.

It would be real weird, though. But then again, everything the Rockets do was weird and it ends up being dominant. So I think they figured it out. I'll go B-minus. Jalen Brunson, how would they fit? We already seen this before. About an A-minus.

Because this is the only thing is, I guess it's kind of the same thing as, like, as Yannis and Lucas, when you have this smaller guard that also does play on ball when he's at like his best best can you set enough screens do you want to set enough screens can brunson fit better than dame did

yes because i think brunson is more willing and more comfortable playing off ball than dame was so you're saying you're saying that brunson is better than dame yeah so you're saying that brunson is smarter than dame so you're saying that brunson is more of a man than daming lillard potentially out of your fucking mind potentially and i'm saying that if this duo

got together and it failed it would be because of yonest it would be It would not be because of Jalen Brunson. That is 100% what I'm saying. And I'm glad that you guys understand my point. I do the Jalen Brunson play awful enough to make this work. I think this would fit better than Dame. I'll give it a nay.

I think this would be beautiful. Yeah. I worry about nothing really is beautiful. I wanted to lie. I wanted to troll, want to ravey. I can't. I would say that I would really like them have a stretch five. And I don't know if they can do that because they'd probably the trade cat.

Yeah. But if they could do the wing trade and keep cat too, this could be beautiful. It would be nasty. Mr. Robinson, what happened to those all season clips Hesie tweeting pulling up from three Mitch Robinson and Yannis would be gross

I'd hate that Bro do you see the percentage It's like fucking 17 or something 18% from the Frito Lian Dude we were laughing We were dying about it A couple years ago on this show

I remember it's 17% This guy's on serious Everyone always says I guess you shoot Fritos poorly They're shooting generally like Bro what is it doing all summer I could do that What is he doing all summer

How does he shoot 17% The Frito line His ass is playing the harmonica during his summer He ain't doing nothing, bro. He ain't doing nothing, bro. Started to the 1960's grandpa on to do this summer? Yeah, bro.

None of the overalls. It sounds like how he kicks it, though. Facts. Facts. We're going to take a quick break from this video. Tell you guys about us. We are giving you a word from our sponsor, ourselves.

In this video, we're here to tell you about our TD3 winter merch. Take a look at Moschest. He is wearing our brand new stamp crewneck. You can get that along with the rest of the TD3 Winter Collection on our website right now. That's linked in the description. It's all fire. Donovan, what's your favorite one?

Obviously, the long sleeve white tea that I got that I showed on the show last week. Need that. That's his favorite one. It's the only one he has right now. So it's all he can think about. But you luckily can get more than just one. You can check out both the hoodies, the t-shirts, both the crew necks, the long sleeve. Check it all out, along with the rest of our merch that stays there year-round.

I'm getting in every color. and with that quick message aside let's get you back to what you're watching next up Cade Cunningham how would they fit this is beautiful this is beautiful

this is beautiful if you honest like we said develops into being okay setting more screens if he doesn't want to be a screen setter it might be a little clunky he just can't play with guards anymore he's got to prove it kind of

like high usage guards that like are picking roll ball handlers kind of got to prove it if he was to prove it I expect Cade's three-point shooting to fucking serve because he has all the room in the world and he has so many opportunities because Yonis is tracking so much attention

in the pain. This would be beautiful for Cade's game. So you're going A? Nah. I'm going B-plus. I'm going B-plus. I'm going to low-key go C-plus. I'm going to go C-plus, low-key. I think C-plus, low-key. I think Kade needs a, like, dedicated, picking role partner from his co-star, and Yonis

needs the opposite of that, that they'd both have to prove they can play other ways. Okay. I can see that. I just... I am going to lean on when two guys are, like, super talented that they can be good enough. And that's what we said in 2023. I know. We said that was going to be dressed.

And these are all good. So, like, of course, they all work to some extent. Yeah. But as far as on that ratio, on that scale of clearly everybody's a star, I'm not putting bums up here, I think it's a C. Mm-hmm. Okay. B.

I'll go B. Okay. Palo Van Carro. F. Oh, yeah. This is F. You don't think having two gigantic fours that are just walking free throws. You don't think you could do.

just bludging people? No, because I think one of them hasn't necessarily 100% figured it out on how to be like the other the other co-star. Like, Paolo's still trying to figure out who he is as a player.

Is it coming to his own? Yeah. And guess what? He wouldn't even be given the opportunity to Alex and Thanas is going to take his ass out of the game and like literally bandage him up and trade him and they're going to move him away

from the city. Exactly. It's not going to happen. How can you love somebody when you don't know how to love yourself. Ooh. I think if they were to trade Franz and slip Janus into this team next to Paolo,

it would drive Yonis insane. Yeah. He can't play at all how he wants to play. He has to change it up completely. Yeah. He would be so mad. I'm a good D.

However, the Instagram videos from him at Disney World would be legendary. But would Palo be there? I don't think Palo wants to hang him with Janus off the court. I mean, probably not.

Yonis got mad kids. I don't think he probably has... Yeah, they're not kicking it. No, just Janus by himself at Disney World, the stuff that he would document, it would be fun. Well,

does a duo's tier list. So I sound, I mean, duo's question, so. They could get in in a teacup one time. Just be turning me. Go faster, go faster. I'll go D. It's not an F because obviously they're super talented. If it does work, this can be insanely hard to stay in front of both of them at that

size, but yeah, not my favorite fit. Scotty Barnes. How do you feel? The strength of those two together defensively. Mr. Barnes- Glazer? The defense would be outlandish. The offense, again, would be almost even more clunky, though. Not even more concrete.

It worked better than Powell, though, because Scottie's, like, completely fine playing off the ball. Yeah. And, like, he'll spot up. People don't help off him like that. Like, he's not, like, a terrible shooter. He can cut, like... You're just heavily relying on that jump shot continuing to develop.

And it's been shooting, he's been shooting well all year. And you can play Yonis ball. Like, he'll set screens for Yannis. He'll pop for Yannis. Like, he will defer, like, most of these guys won't. If Maasai was still with the Raptors, he would have gave them everything. Masai would have sacrificed multiple internal organs to do what happened. And it would have been fun to watch.

I don't lie. I think Maasai would die to see this happen Yeah I think like as a as a duo Seeing somebody who is able to help be complimentary to To honest we've obviously seen that with Chris Milton Scotty Barnes and the willingness to be the second fiddle is is really nice So normally I would say this would be like a B minus It would be a B minus normally

However because of the way that I view Scotty It would probably be a B plus because because the synergy he would probably be a little bit better. No, he would be a legit, like second star. There'd be no, no stepping on toes. He'd be a second fiddle. I'm gonna give an A minus. The only thing with Scotty is that I don't think he has enough, like someone like Yonis, his game is very predictable and it's unstoppable.

And I think what makes co-stars around Yonis work insanely well is his ability to be with a guy who's mad creative as a creator as well. And that's not Scottie Barnes. That's why we have Brandon Ingram on the wing. Nah, Brady here we got to go. No, so I think this eventually will lend itself to not work at all. Oh, yeah, you're greedy. Like, who's on the Raptors then? You're trading R.J. Barrett quickly in a bunch of picks.

Yo, Wisconsin. You got to do something about this, man. I don't care about us is there. Let's say Grady Dick, it gets good and quickly there you can shoot. We have the shooting in ball handling. Whatever it looks like. I don't give you the fuck. You're greedy.

I say Grady Dick and quickly. What are you talking about greedy? That's all I got. No, that's what I'm saying. For keeping B.I. Oh, I don't know. First of all, you think I'm way higher on B.I. than I am.

I don't consider that. be some greed. Yeah. But I think Scottie the three, Yonis, the four would work beautifully. If you have the right guards there to compliment. Yeah. Like, if they somehow had a Desmond Bayne type guard there?

See, now that is... That's a big three. He is someone who just went around doing stuff, bro. Yep. I'll give this name minus. I like this a lot. Bam out of bio. The heater always linked to every star.

They'll be good. It'll be great together. Bam shoots now. Yeah. I don't, did you shoot well enough? I don't know, but defensively, it would be nasty. It'd be insane. As long as they surround themselves

with shooters, everyone, you have to shoot at least 42% from the three point line or else you can't be on the field on the court with us. It worked beautifully. Then keep Norm Powell. Yeah, keep Norma Powell. Simone Fentucky, Fentakeo, you got a job.

Tyler Hero. No, Tyler Hero, welcome Wisconsin, buddy. You're going back home, buddy. I think this will work. It wouldn't be great offensively, but it'd be good enough for the defense to carry. B. Yeah, yeah.

But there's no, like, natural synergy on offense. There's, bam, get the fuck out the way. Yon is going to do everything. Yeah. He said, okay. If he'll say, okay, go for it. Your defense is going to be nasty. You'll probably win D.P.O.

But yeah, bro, you got it. I've been begging. Tyler refuses to shoot enough. Go cook. It's your world. Trey Young. This would actually be good. So if you trade Jalen Johnson, bring in Yannis.

It actually would work. I like this. Trey can shoot enough off ball. But again, will Yonis set screens? Yeah. If you thought, like, Dame and Yonis had an issue joining together, these two would have even bigger issue because the way Trey plays is so, like, one-dimensional.

as a guard and dame is way better off ball than tray yeah loki f so i don't know who i don't know who work well i'm gonna give it i want to see it obviously i'll give it like a c plus i don't want to see it give me jalen johnson and yannis and trey yon to milwaukee nah slut on us not i don't they go with kp and a pick and zachary reaches greed that is that is greed that i'll give you dyson daniel he's had too good of a year thinking about these pixie has he's weird he's so bright You got to humble him. My year's mid. What do you mean?

They are the nine scene. I know. The gumption he gets after one average year. We're a three-way tie for nine, so we really like seven-seed. Great. And still in the play. So well. Yeah, obviously, really, I'm going to give this a D.

I don't, wouldn't be my choice of Yon as co-stars. Yeah. John Morant. Hell no. This is just the same combo as Paulo, bro. Like, if we gave Trey Young a D, we got to get John Mran and F. Yeah. Everything that makes Trey Younger, if he fit,

John Moran has that without the shooting. Jah can't even fit with him. right now at this point in time that's deep it's like what are we it's not finishing can't even fit with the man in the mirror tough it's just not there's no there's no advantages he's cooking yeah there's no advantages it's over it's over I guess what that being said that's an F that's the worst fit we can imagine wow Steph Curry a plus he would save his life yeah like he he's out here If Janus wears glasses at home

Steph Curry would be corrective vision He would have 20-20 vision How would he fit with Draymond though? Who cares? Who fucking, that's the same you just ask? Nobody should ask it. Who cares? How old Thanosus and Draymond fit?

That's the real question. That's the question that needs to be answered. Now you got me. They're going to be yelling at each other on the bench. Dremont would love to have Yonis. Dremont would have a battery in his back. Dremont would be out of playing the happiest hoops has ever played. He would have punched anybody.

He would punch anybody. I actually disagree. What? I think we'd see the most charged of Dremong. Okay, maybe he'd much everybody. Yeah, but it'll be bad. Because he knows, like, he's never had the self-controls, even whenever, like, the team needs him to stay in.

He's like, no, like, you don't understand. Like, they disrespect me. Like, I have to do something. If Yonis was on the team, oh, my goodness. I got big bro back here. I'm flicking on everybody. Like, our defense doesn't live and die with me anymore. I dare you to say something.

I will backhand you. right now imagine if these guys went to indiana that'll be cinema bro what yeah here's the thing this would be awesome step curry draymond yannes beautiful i'd love to see it for yonns's sake keep him away from this old ass team yeah he'll be fighting it would be different stories different story but same outcome no go here save step curry's life and then in two years do the same thing ask for another trade i bounce in two years be a murder That's how it goes. Once you request that first trade, you usually request a few.

Not many of these guys stay with two teams. It's a gateway trade. It really is. It's a hundred percent that. Think about it. Any of these guys, I mean, like Anthony Davis would have wanted to stay a Laker, but there was some tension last year before he got traded with the center shit. Yeah.

It's really a gateway. James Hardin, he got on that shit. I got on that shit. I got to go. I got to act up. He said that as if he was on some hard. What the fuck? He couldn't stop.

He still can't stop Loquille. I don't know if he's going to finish the season there. It's a problem. The truth. Hardin, PG, KD, Kyrie. You got on that shit. That's hilarious. LeBron.

Is this slippery slope? But LeBron's like functioning, though.
