We are live.
Dude, close your mouth.
I'd do it again.
Oh, shit, on full screen.
What up?
Let me see one more time?
No.
One more time?
You're asking me to open my mouth wide.
Open a wide.
For what?
Entertainment.
Oh, you're disgusting.
We are here.
Appreciate everybody here.
Nice, bright and early for the live.
The last live of the pre-draft process.
The draft is tomorrow.
We will actually be live for the draft
It's not on the channel yet
But if you guys are watching this VOD
Either tonight or tomorrow
Tune in on draft night
We're gonna do a live reaction draft
For the NBA draft like we did last year
Should be good
But tonight
Tonight we're not here to talk about the draft
Tonight
Tonight
Tomorrow night
We are here to talk a little bit about the draft
You know we'll do some talk about
The rumors leading up to the draft night
But we have lots of NBA
Trade talk to talk about today man
What's going on?
Two NBA trades happened in the last 24 hours.
A lot is going on.
We got Jordan Poole being moved.
Anthony Simons being moved.
All of these off the dribble shooting guards that can't play defense
are being shipped out of their towns.
God damn.
Lots to discuss there.
Lots of news going on.
What do you guys want to start?
I guess let's start with the Drew thing.
Okay.
Yeah.
This was one of the more surprising trades in a long time.
Chad's asking, are we can talk about Jordan Poole trade.
Yes, we are.
But first we got to talk about the Boston Celtics,
sending Drew Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers for
Anthony Simons and two second round
picks. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
My tweet, my reaction to this was,
if you asked me to list every single
team in the NBA that I think would
trade for Drew Holiday knowing he's available,
there's probably 29 teams I would name before
the Portland Trailblazers. Yeah, it's really.
It's massive part. The Portland Drubblazes
have traded for Drew Holiday twice.
I know. That's so redundant.
It feels so like,
redundant. What are we doing at this point?
The same player that they traded,
when they traded Dame, they got the same player
for Anthony Simon.
It's such a weird, like, dynamic for who they traded for.
It makes sense, obviously, for the Celtic side, because we've known it for the last year,
year and a half, basically.
It's like, yeah, they're going to be expensive.
And as soon as Tatum tears or ruptures his Achilles, you know that somebody's getting moved.
They're not going to pay all this money just to be trash.
And so this was the first dominoes, and they're probably going to be doing another move.
Chat, what do you guys think?
I saw someone in the chat, what do you guys think?
I saw someone in the chat say Celtics fleece, somebody else saying Celtics sold.
So I think there's a harsh difference with how people are viewing this.
Some people view it as the Trailblazers, what the fuck are they doing?
Some people are like, yo, Anthony Simons is a future star.
They got him for an old player that they thought was a negative contract?
What?
No.
So I lean towards the side of this is a fantastic deal for the Celtics.
I don't know who y'all view is early winners, but...
We can talk about the Celtics first.
They're an easy winner for this, for sure.
Yeah, I think this is a...
They fleece to me.
And when you say fleece, that sounds like...
typically you like stole a good player
that you want long term.
I don't give a damn about Anthony Simons
when it comes to the Celtics.
He's an expiring contract.
I think they're probably going to give him
high usage and try to flip him at the deadline,
get more assets for him, which is good.
What matters is he's an expiring contract
and he's coming off the books.
They're no longer in a second apron after this trade.
Drew Holiday has three years left on his deal.
And he had a gargantuan deal
for someone of his age and role as well.
They just simply got off that deal
and they got picks back.
They got two second round picks.
How did they get paid to get off of a deal
that many run the league, not Joe Cronin,
but many others run the league would view as a negative contract.
Honestly, to me, what it seemed like is
there was a bidding war for someone like Drew Holiday.
And it makes sense as to why they would want to give up
two second round picks.
What I have done it, probably not.
But I feel like Chonty Billups and Drew Holiday,
I think they had like a conversation,
was it last year or two years ago when Dane was traded there initially?
And so he's somewhat feeling with him.
And I feel like the front office really wanted to fortify their identity
and get an adult in the room.
and actually give the keys to some like Shaden Sharp
or it could be
School Henderson as well.
Now, what I've done it, I don't really know.
But, wait, why are you dying?
Because they're frying me, bro.
Are they frying you?
I was like, so a couple of people in the chat were saying Donovan's hot
and then one person came in to humble him
and said, he needs to go to turkey.
They're frying.
I was going to ignore it, but Donovan was disrespectful.
What did you not even do there?
Because we liked that because we saw the same,
he saw the same comment at the same time.
Somebody earlier was like, oh, yeah, we bullied Don out of wearing colors.
Now he's just wearing MPC fits.
Yeah.
Real quick, shout out to Walking 37 for tipping $5.
He should shout out Isaac for trading Mo to numbers on the board.
Crazy trade season.
What the fuck?
We traded you for D-Mills, I guess.
Oh, hell no.
Y'all lost that trade.
Shout out to 4KT.
Monum for donating $5.
He said Timberwolves and won't get all the next season.
I'm a care what y'all say.
I'm a D-Ride aunt.
Nice.
You need to throw in the last part.
Shout out to you.
And shout out to Kevin Glecky for tipping $10.
He said, Brad Stevens, goat GM, changed my mind.
Yeah, he's honestly.
I mean, he's cooking.
He's cooking.
So this deal, like you said, it sounds like the Trobleasers just wanted Drew Holiday for reasons you said that they want to build a defensive identity.
They want to be a good team next year.
They're tired of just perpetually rebuilding and not making progress.
They made progress.
I think they just really wanted to rush.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
And, like, get more adults in the room for their point guards specifically.
Yeah, they want to, maybe not to say no progress.
I showed that all the good role players, but no progress in terms of making the play in
and getting back to where they were.
So they want to accelerate that, like you said.
They see Drew Holliday as a guy who can come in and do that and not take away from the young guys at all.
He can help clean the development, feed him, be a back to being a point guard.
Yeah.
It also sounds to me like they're just like through with the Anthony Simon's experience to some degree.
Which, you know, over the years, he's one of those guys that has always been like,
hey, let's see, peep the development, we'll see where he goes.
He can break out.
You can shoot off the dribble.
has a tantalizing skill set nothing else around that has really developed he was a dreadful defender
last year on a team that is full of great defenders and clearly wants that to be their identity
or at least needs that to be their identity because none of the star guards that they thought
they were drafting have really made that leap so i can understand why they feel like simons just
like isn't necessarily the guard of the future for them yeah and it also i like it because it brings
clarity because they've had this like three guard thing going on with scoop with simons with shading
sharp and now you get one of them out the building it gives a little bit more
leeway to to school and to Shaden Sharp to both go out and do their thing for all those reasons
because you know Drew, Drew Holley's not going to come in and, you know, score 20, do all that
stuff. So you get some more offensive flexibility from your back court. So I don't, I don't hate it.
And I do think that especially the bottom of the West, yes, it's very competitive, but getting into
the play in and getting some experience in some high leverage moments, even if it's just something that
he's either going to be in the playing or
can you make it run in like the in season tournament
and just be in some type of high leverage games
that's that's fine
and you don't really have anybody on this team
that has experience in those moments
and so I'm cool with the Blazers
going, wait, what happened?
There's a comment on the bottom.
But yeah, I don't know.
I mean, I understand the thought process
of wanting to get decent, right?
Like it's like, it's understandable.
You can't be bad forever.
We're seeing the fruits of tanking perpetually
aren't what they once were with the new flattened lottery odds.
So I think we're not used to it yet,
but a lot of these teams are perceived as being bad,
bottom of the west, bottom of the east,
are going to continue to get competence
just because you're rewarded equally
for being the ninth-forst team in the NBA
as you are for the third worst these days.
So that makes sense.
The contract is bad.
Like Drew did take a step back last year pretty substantially.
He's still good.
He's still better than Simons.
Yeah, he's still got better.
I think his name is super cloudy.
He's still better than Simons.
You're right because overall, the defense is insane.
Wrong black guy.
but the defense is insane and also i think his name is all so clouded because of the injuries that he
went through last year of course he's getting up there in age but in my mind i feel a lot better
and i think they generally got i don't know five the games better when it comes to adding
stopping drew holiday for infarney simons now health is a big concern of course but five games they
won i think 36 games last year the damn were a 41 team and that's directly where they want to
be at in the plans and they'll probably be that next year makes sense so I
understand that they'll have a nasty defense with Kamara Denny Drew as like the
top three clinging in the back is pretty solid red protection duo I understand
it but man the second and third year that contract if Drew just continues to
age like I guess they're not necessarily in a situation where they got to worry
about finances in the coming years they're not who do they pay in the next few years
like there's no no they're still looking for the guide to command this ship over
there and yeah and if the if the market for Simons wasn't robust I'm sure they
asked their Orlando magic.
They saw all the tweets for years or everyone was saying Anthony Simons is the shooter
the magic need.
They tried.
I'm sure they were like, nah, we're good.
Two first off picks for Anthony Simons.
Fuck out my face.
It went just like that.
On the Celtics end for the Simons, obviously I saw some people were like, hey man, they
have to replace some creation next year for Jason Tatum.
They had to get a new guy and they could create a little bit.
I find it hard to believe that the Celtics value his skill set as part of this trade.
I don't think that's like the, well, let me not say that.
I'm sure it's like if he has a good year, great.
Maybe it becomes something.
but I don't think him making them better next year
to win games is necessarily the purpose.
Yeah, no, like if that was the case trying to win games,
they wouldn't have traded for something like every time
because his skill set very much like overlap
with someone like Payton Pritchard.
Sounds crazy, but they have elite score.
He can get his own shit off one-on-one,
but when it comes to facilitating with others,
there's not much room for that,
which really hinders his growth and development as a player.
So ceiling is limited.
They're in the check saying,
I don't care if you were right, Isaac.
You're still doing tricks on the thunder.
Stop glazing.
We didn't even mention the thunder once.
What's going on, man?
They're obsessed with my appreciation of the thunder more than I appreciate the thunder.
That's really what it comes down to.
But yeah, Simon's definitely closer to Peyton Pritchard than he is to the guards he was once compared to when he was in like conversations with,
oh, I don't know, what young players was in conversations.
At one point it was like SGA before he went crazy.
That's disgusting.
But like, you know, like a couple years ago, it was like him, Jordan Poole, who else was young guards?
Maybe Jeline Green, maybe.
Stuff like that, right?
And while we named those two guys,
maybe they are still in the same conversation.
But, you know, nobody in that conversation
took the lead that was expected.
So, yeah, I think you could channel him
and get him to be a solid player
in a better environment, I'm sure.
I'm sure we'll see him defend better if he's...
Actually, I didn't mean to say that
because the Blazers were a good defense infrastructure last year.
So, yeah, I'm not even going to say that,
but maybe they can channel his shooting
and get something out of him
and really build that value up and trade him again.
But I think he's pretty much an expiring contract.
Yeah, and the defense
of infrastructure for Boston, especially now, now that Jews gone and Tatum is going to be out for
the whole year, you're going to have, obviously Derek White is there. Is KP going to be there?
Even if he's on the roster, is he going to be healthy enough to play? And then out Horford
is getting older every year. So I don't know how elite I can expect this defense to be next year.
So I can't really bank on like, oh, yeah, the Celtics defensive infrastructure is going to carry
simons and do all this stuff it feels like you said you're going to trade simmons at the
deadline and do all that it feels very much um the warriors getting delo yeah a couple years ago
and it's like if if the fit works awesome but if not you're gone and we're just going to you know
move on from that and then eventually that deal got them and you wiggins and it got them back
into a title contention window yeah it's it's the same thing for the for the subjects right now
is everything is can we set up to be good not next year but the year after and even even then
the year after that once they're had the whole year to come back and be healthy and do all that so
we're really building for like two and a half three years down the line and trading simons at the
deadline or if he has a good season and then trading him in the off season that's really going to
propel you full yeah yeah you dump true holiday and you get a player that could maybe become another
pick at worst it becomes a neutral dumping and drew holidays contract to duck the apron solid deal
I'll grade that. That's a, that's an A for the
I agree. Like in a couple of months from now,
who knows in December or January,
he could be bawling his ass off.
He could, yeah, he could be bawling his ass off.
He's a very good compliment
next to John Brown, I guess.
And a team like the Toronto Raptors may see it and be like,
damn, bro, he made you quickly still hurt.
His damn elbow is blah, blah, blah.
Here go a second round, a first round pick.
And that's an easy flip right there.
Interesting trend going on here, because like you said,
Simon's shotmaker,
a very, very good shooter
that in different contexts
can probably be an elite shooter
if he's shot died
is deployed in certain ways
never developed defensively at all
not above average of a passer
probably a little bit below average
especially if he's going to be tasked
with like lead playmaking
similar player to all those descriptions
but I think better than him
Jordan Poole also got traded
damn! The New Orleans Pelicans
are trading CJ McCollum
Kelly Olinick and a feature second round pick
to the Washington Wizards
for Jordan Poole, Sadeek Bay and number 40
once again, extremely surprising trade
I did not expect to see.
I did not expect
the wizards to be trade in jordan pool period and if they were i was not expecting it for
a package of veterans in c j mccall mckelly linnick i guess they're clearly on similar timing
of the blazers where they want to be competent they want to be a good team they want to build
habits they want to put veterans around their important young players to you know allow the
development to thrive in a competent scenario and i guess they didn't feel like jordan pool
was part of that long-term plan he's not he's not and you you know that like you're going to be
building a Ransar, Bub Carrington, Kulubali, Kishan George, all that.
You have another top 10 pick this year.
And so having Chris Middleton and having C.J. McCollum are the adults in the room.
And that is going to be enough for some veteran leadership.
And you know that the East is going to be trash.
If you can get a couple leaps from two of whoever is in your young core, get 50 games out of Chris
Middleton and then maybe, you know, get some actual score from C.J. McCollum. Can this team be
a playing team in the East? Half the Pelicans. Half the Pelicans. Half the Pelicans. Half the Wizards
roster is not a lot of drink. They are from the Skibbity Toilet Generation, as much a 19 year olds.
And then half of them is unction. They have straight old. It's such a disparity. It's crazy.
C.J. McCollum, Chris Middleton, Marcus, Mark is Mark. Malcolm Brognan's in there? Malcolm
Brogdon is in there? Malcolm Brogdon. Unks. Diplomatic basketball.
And then we got a bunch of children on the other end
I guess that's probably like a good dynamic
Probably for encouraging the young core to like
You know not fall into bad habits of young teams that you see
You get Charlotte Hornets basketball
Which is a bunch of guys out there playing who killing basketball
I guess that this is smart culture's culture wise
But it's just weird right
You don't often see this
Yeah this is this feels almost like a very lateral move
I don't necessarily think there's a like straight up winner
Because both of these teams are obviously like
In their gutter in the gutter in their own right
for whatever reason it is.
For the wizard's cool,
you get another bed in the room
and also I guess
it's worth mentioning
Cid McCollum's contract expires
at the end of the next season,
2026, so they do have all that
cast space for fucking what?
I don't know, but
Caspaces is available.
Yeah, Shams reported
that they can clear up to $100 million
in Catspace in 2026.
And that was one of his leading responses
after the report.
So I'm assuming that's the wizard's main motivation
is to free up Capspace for 20206
and, you know, maintain that flexibility.
Okay.
sure yeah like so somebody's going to be upset somebody's going to be available and this this is
really why i guess you try and see if you can go be competitive see if you can if you if you have
something because the east we can't overstate how bad the east is going to be next year and so
if Washington comes out and what they get to like 34 and 48 depending on the leap uh that's that's a
in the east.
Yeah.
For the Pelicans,
I like it.
I still like Jordan Poole.
You know,
I mentioned,
I kind of compared him
with Anthony Simons
that this is two teams
in the span of 24 hours
that are kind of punting
on a young guard
who has tantalizing
off the dribble shooting
and a little bit of slashing,
but isn't a strong defender,
isn't a strong passer.
I feel like Jordan Poole
is substantially better
than Simons right now,
at least last year.
I like what he did a lot
in the wizard's uniform.
I guess the Wizards did not like it
a lot or at least
didn't view it as a long-term importance,
but I don't mind that
as the new,
younger version of the dynamic you kind of wandered from C.J. McCollum as like a shooter can
create a little bit. They're going to have Zion. They're going to have Trim Murphy, be their main
two creators. I don't mind Jordan Poole being the third head of the snake there. Yeah, I agree. He commands
a certain level of attention on offense that not a lot of guards do in terms of his playmaking and
how he's able to get his bag off, get his bag off. And then also at times to the range of which
type of shots, the audacity of the type of shops that he takes to. Not all of players do that. So
it's a different type of level of explosion and offense compared to someone like
Cedrican who's more in between yeah and they have enough defenders to kind of like make up for
whatever he's losing but I don't know it's just a weird trade I think for both teams
yeah fact yeah it is the same that the rats got the Wi-Fi yeah it's hard for me to see
it is not lagging on what I see so I don't even know what if the rats got their Wi-Fi
instead oh yeah so I think it's a solid I don't know B-minus trade for both teams
damn i don't i don't hate it i i'm very big obviously on on culture and being able to to step up
and not not create like a losing culture and with washington they've just they've done that
for so long so getting competent players in the building that's that's perfectly fine
apparently it's still lagging yeah i don't know it looks normal on our end so i can't even tell
and i know it's nice uh i record this locally so the people that are watching on spotify
don't see the lag so it's only the live audience that apparently she's the lag sorry
All the main audience sees it.
Back to other off-season news, I hope it's done lagging.
This is a strange, strange statement, a strange headline.
This is very stupid.
But Nuggets owner, Josh Kronky, completely unprompted,
just brought up the possibility of trade Nicola Yolkich.
This happened a little bit ago.
And I don't know what to think about this,
because this conversation was him talking about the place the team is in
and the perils of the second apron
and how they had to move with caution.
they understand the play strength as a team
and he hypothetically threw out
that if a certain world happens
where they have the wrong injuries
and they don't have the best outlook long term
maybe you gotta consider something crazy
like trading number 15
so he didn't say it like we're thinking about that
but he threw that out there in a way nobody told him he had to
and it was just like okay yeah
well maybe my dog's gonna die
that's a possibility I'm not gonna say it
I mean it's basically the same thing was going on in Milwaukee right now
like with Janus
of course the GM or
the owner didn't come out there and said, oh, yeah, we got to trade, like, things just
played out for themselves.
Obviously, like, if you're just like that was to happen, maybe it's in play for the Denver
Nuggets, but it makes him, it makes it feel like he knows something is up the horizon.
He thinks that, I don't know, Jamal Murray's hamstrings might be jelly soon and the rest
of this team, to be honest as well, because Jamal Murray, you're always going to have
to worry about him when it comes to injuries.
Aaron Gordon just pulled his hamstring, and then Michael Porter Jr. had severe shoulder
issues in the playoffs as well.
So a lot of their guys in the starting lineup, which is what all they have,
they're just complete due to garbage.
It's not looking too bright, but it feels like he's just kind of over this era.
And he's very, very much wanting to avoid the second he puts off.
It's your job to listen to every single offer that anybody brings you.
It is also your job to hang up on people who have ridiculous offers.
And I don't care what.
the situation is unless Nikola Yokic says trade me i'm not playing another game it you should
never verbalize like we are going to trade yokic what if he's just like preparing teams telling
teams to like stuck up your assets i got something for you potentially no but like it's it's just it's just
weird right yeah that's all it is yeah he's not telling anybody anything i don't think it's like
so i think it's like a fordian slip almost like he's just saying like you never know what could
happened the worst case scenario was in play
so and so like he's just talking
and I don't feel like it means anything but
Freudian slips happened because it's
in the back of your head and you know like the conversations have been
had you don't he didn't
think about that out of nowhere so I wonder if like
they really don't have no good press conference
etiquette at all because remember like their
Calvin Booth was like oh yeah
blah blah Zip Naji and wasting money
yeah so yeah
I wonder but only only take away from this is
I wonder if these are conversations that were had
and that's like interesting
you guys are talking about possibilities
and that's one that's floated
stuff like that isn't floated for no reason
but outside of that
like noticing I think it's just like
a weird slip up that doesn't mean much
something else in this conversation
in the same as that press conference too
was said is that he mentioned
how like they're getting ready
and they want to prepare to offer
Nicole Yokut to a contract extension this summer
and he said in the same breath
we don't know if he's going to take it
he did say that offer yeah and it's like
brother who was asking you if he's going to take
it or not who no one is
you don't have to save this information he said we're prepared to
offer that don't know if he's in take it's up to him
so that could mean two things that can mean
I don't know he's kind of giving indications maybe he's
gonna take his time or he's trying to
just like be safe and get ahead of it and just
like you know just throw it out there like
if it's not signed it's not on us like
because they haven't had the conversation at all
overall just weird right
he's like he's it's just it's big noticing
it's it's something where
you don't think
that Yokic is
is that kind of player where he's going to like sit out or not or not play it really is just like
if you are going to offer yokech hundreds of millions of dollars he's going to sign he's going to
show up he's going to play basketball and that's going to be that and i think that yeah i i just
i think that like denver has some real real soul searching to do because obviously like this next
error is here you hired a new coach you hired a new gm
you have to figure out what you want this team to look like
Yokin should be at the middle of that
and is there a world where he's not
that's what it's making it seem like
and if I was a nugget fan I wouldn't be mad
I wouldn't even be scared I think I would just be annoyed
because it's like damn man like can we get anything right
can anything just be smooth for another summer
and can we get back to whatever we were in 23
I think their new GM is probably like fuck
get off of the TV like stop talking like it's just the owner that's just like putting his foot
in his mouth it doesn't mean anything they're obviously not going to trade him it's just like bro stop
speaking right now yeah next new story the lakers warriors spurs and pelicans are among teams
interested in christoph's porzingis why interesting obviously you know pelicans i think that's like
we floated out the pelicans and magic as teams like they've been eating stretch fives maybe
they can sell themselves on that the other three teams here are quite interesting if
this is true and these three teams are making calls and at least like having loose interest,
I think it is worth talking about why all three them would be interested because that is
a surprising group of teams.
It is.
Let's talk about the Lakers first.
You want to see Luca and KP again mend their relationship?
Yes.
I would be okay with it from a basketball perspective.
When KP's talked about it, he's talked about it very openly and he was like, yeah,
I could have done a much better job of just accepting my role.
And there were times where-
It's like talking about your ex, coming back with her.
he does sound like he learned a lot from that experience
yeah and he was like there were times where
I actively did things to
to hurt the team even though that I know
that I probably should have you know
accepted my role a little bit better
being like going through that experience once
and then winning a championship with Boston
and now coming back if he did play with the Lakers
it would be I think a better situation
than what they had in Dallas
yeah but the Christophsvarez of it all
is a worse situation as for his body
he's not quite what he was at that time
Yeah, if we're just going team by team
Because I don't think anybody should trade for for Christops
But somebody will
And no, I wouldn't say that
You could trade for Christops at the price is right
I don't think a team like what does he have?
Yeah, what do you mean?
Like what's he sick with?
Oh
What does he have?
Nobody knows and like the I don't know
That's a long-term issue, is it?
Yeah, I don't know
But I do think teams should definitely be interested in Chris
Austin for the unions
But I think it should be teams that have space for error
Like if he doesn't work out, who gives a fuck?
The Lakers in my mind, as long as Luke Dodgers is on your roster, every single year
is a championship.
I think you can get him for damn near free.
I feel like if he's going to be a salary dump for similar situation, Drew Holiday, but
like probably even less value, just because it's so unreliable.
Like for the Lakers, I don't remember what Chris House makes exactly, I'll check.
But if it's just like the salary of Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleba and whoever else needed,
like it's just like guys and no like important picks, I guess I could sell myself on that
as long as it's accompanied by other bigs that are reliable.
if that's the price for all these teams
I guess there's a world
where you can roll the dice
and say if we can load manage him
and get him healthy
there's like value to having that five out look
bring him off the bench
make him a six man now even
if that's something he'd accept
like there's a world where that could make sense
I don't know if it's a Lakers
like you said they don't have a marching for air
but it's interesting I think for good teams
if the price is right
I think I'd be okay with like 85%
of the league being traded to a certain situation
I just don't know if
If you can, I don't know if dealing with the day-to-day lack of availability for KP is going to be worth it for a Lakers team that has LeBron at 41, that has Luca trying to, you know, refine his MVP form and all that.
I feel like it is very, very up and down and it's going to get annoying at a certain point.
Now, Golden State, I think it makes more sense for them because I do think that they're a little bit more desperate.
than the Lakers to be a championship contender,
to stay in the mix.
You think the Warriors are more desperate.
I believe the Lakers are probably the most desperate team
in the NBA this all season.
I'm saying that just because the Lakers have a longer window
because Luke is there.
And Luke, if you are, come on,
if you are starting a team right now,
like who has the...
No, no, no, no.
You're misunderstanding me.
They have to prove to Luca to stay,
like immediately.
Luke is not under contract for that long.
They are extremely desperate.
He's going to stay.
I don't know.
I mean,
I don't know if it was a given.
I mean, I obviously want to believe, choose to believe, will believe he's going to stay.
But I believe that because I think they're going to show him where he should stay and do the necessary things.
But they have the desperation.
They need to prove it to him.
The Warriors have, all of their guys are maddled.
And that's what I'm saying is like if you're trying to win a chip or grasp at whatever last chance at contention, the Warriors are that team where if you are the Lakers and you are assuming that you can do everything to.
to keep Luca, then you have at least another five years
to continue building stuff around him
where Golden State has, what, one run left?
Like, Steph couldn't make it through this entire playoff run.
He got hurt.
We've seen that over the last couple of years.
He's starting to, you know, to break down.
You know, Draymond is getting older Jimmy Butler,
fell, hurt his butt, and now, like, he was out.
So you are adding all of this advanced age.
If you want to go all in on a team like that,
fine, I can get it.
and you try to get one more run,
but they have very little mechanisms
in terms of getting better
and being a championship team.
What do you think about the Spurs is being on this list?
I think the Spurs are one of those teams
where they have plenty of room for error
because of where they are at timeline-wise.
And having a back court of or front court of KP and Wembe
is insane.
But also I don't want to sell myself on it too hard
because more times than not over the last like two, three years
Prisangis has been a disappointment.
He can just give you juice, like, in sports at this moment and time of this career.
So, I don't know, I like it the best out of the three hours.
I think it would be cool as fuck.
We would have Wemby as your stretch five on the bench.
I mean, he's starting.
He goes to the bench.
KP's your stretch five now.
You run out both at one time, have two gigantic players I guess you, three, like.
Two of the biggest motherfuckers in the league.
That's so cool.
I just like for, like, a team-building perspective and, like, the unique advantage that could be.
If they have two of the biggest stretch fives ever, actually the two biggest stretch fives in
Maybe history, I think.
Yeah.
And you also have multiple dynamic guards who can slash in Fox Castle and presumably Dylan
Harper.
Like, that's a unique, interesting combination of talent that we've literally never seen.
Yeah.
I just, I need to know the price.
We've seen, we saw 42 games of Porzing his last year, 57 the year before.
If he's not, if he's not there and you give up something fairly substantial, then.
I think we can assume it won't be substantial.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think we're going to, he's an expiring too.
I think we can assume he'd be pretty, pretty easy to get.
Yeah, I'll pull the contract up.
Okay.
Next report.
He's making 30.
Let's talk about the defending champions.
For how many years?
I think he's expiring this year.
He's aspiring in the, he's free age of 20, 26, so yeah.
The OKC Thunder are reportedly trying to move into the top 10 in the draft.
They hold picks 15, 24, and 44.
Who do you want to see them move up for?
Man, this is the greed they talk about in the Bible.
I don't even know if it's greed.
I feel like if I'm the.
rappers a nine and they offer me 15, 24 and 44?
I'm like, hell yeah, why not?
It's a good deal.
It's still greedy as hell.
You just won the title.
I think it's greedier to add three rookies and be like trying to go to the Apple.
Like, how many players you need?
Look, they could do that and just have, like I said, bites at the Apple.
Smart though.
If they identify one guy that they're like, we only need so many rookies.
We have to keep getting more because our team's going to get expensive.
We're going to need to replenish these debt pieces over and over.
But if they're like, listen, we see Carter Bryant, we see the next guy in our rotation.
We see Mali Wash, we think he'll be the long-term backup five.
Like, interesting.
I think this is the, yeah, this is the best way to cycle through picks as a super successful thing.
You're the kings of the NBA over the past year.
It's assumed that you will be over the next few years.
It's the best way to cycle through picks.
They have too many picks.
They can't insert literally all these players.
So I think this is very smart, very smart.
And they're a, although they're a championship team, they have very clear flaws and holes in their
roster and this is a good opportunity to
try to either make your strength
even stronger or cover up some of the holes
on this team. What do you think is like the guy
Sam Presby's looking at number nine?
Assuming that saves the Raptors for thought
experiment's sake and that range like
who screams Sam Presti player?
At number nine.
Okay, obviously like if Malawatch falls
I think he's an easy grab. I think
he's an easy grab because Isaiah
Hardinstein, I don't know how long he's going to
be here on this team. Generally, you don't know
how long he's gonna be on this team yeah he has a he his deal it's a three year in the last year
the team option so like they have they have the ability to move to move off of him after next
year if malo watch falls to okay see i'm with you yo you sign you signed him yeah or you
draft him and you keep it moving because him next to him and chat that's disgusting concanip
also is would be super interesting on there he's not he's not he's not making it's a nine i don't know
if he will fall you never know at he is not there you never know people will
people fall all the time.
Yeah, you're right.
You never know, but I wouldn't bet that.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I think Asengue or Senge could make sense.
He likes those athletic players.
Another Uzman-Dang type of.
Yeah, yeah, exactly what I was thinking about.
Another Uzman-Dang.
There's a few Uzman-Dangs in that reign.
It's like of those like big forwards that can do some things.
Yeah, he's just been swinging so hard for these guys.
He wants to have his 6-9 Swiss R-A-Daf defender.
He wants PJ Washington and Aaron Gordon really bad.
If they don't end up moving, then I think they might end up settling for someone like
what's his name again
fuck I think I haven't written down
Cedric Coward yeah
super versatile guy and he fits like the mold
of what OKC
okayC player should be he can make it even stronger
so that's a possibility too
yeah interesting interesting
I hope they do that that would be
also I want to see the Raptors get that deal
that feels that'd be really good for them yeah
one more piece of news that is
interesting to say the least
I don't know what the takeaway from this if it's true
but Kevin O'Connor
has reported a sentence I don't often say
The Cleveland Cavaliers offered Darius Garland
In an attempt to get Kevin Durant
The sons are certified dumbasses
If they declined this if this is real
So I think part of it maybe
So Kevin Durant played like a big hand
And where he ended up
Apparently he was denying trades left and right
Telling everybody that he wasn't going to be able to play for them
I wasn't going to stay with them
Until the offer got low enough
And then they got it done
So maybe Kevin Rand was like
I'm not playing a few cavaliers
Don't even think about it
But interesting is true that they floated out
So not surprising right
That they maybe want to trade Darius Garland
and break up some of this core, baffling that they would do that for Kevin Durant.
Is it really baffling?
I think so.
I don't think it is.
Okay.
Because I think if you have a roster of DeMitch, of DeMitch, Katie, Mobley, Jared Allen,
you can talk yourself into that, I think a little bit more than Garland and DeMitch
just because you're adding some size.
And you can say DeMitch, handle more of the playmaking.
and we're going to have somebody who does it,
who makes it so that you don't have to score 48, 50 points
in a playoff game for us to win
if Mowbly is out or if the lights are too bright for Allen, whatever.
Yeah.
Like that,
that feels a little bit better than,
or you could just insert whatever point guard you have, right?
I like them getting Kevin Durant.
I think if I'm getting Kevin Durant,
I absolutely need to keep Darius Garland
and have a point guard for that team.
Dude, the bad habits and offense led by Donovan Mitchell
and Darius Garland with no point guard would fall into
in playoff games would be appalling.
That would be some nasty half-word offense at times.
Yeah, I agree.
If they traded like a Jared Allen package to get Kevin Durant,
that I'd be all over that.
That'd make sense to me.
But it's a big, I mean, they could also, on top of that,
if they really wanted to be creative,
they would deconstruct, retool this team
and move off of someone like Jared Allen.
Should they do that?
I don't know, but he definitely doesn't deserve to be off of the table
in any discussion.
But that's a complete retool in general.
But I think you put someone like Katie into the building.
that means that also on top of you,
you not only relieve Donald and Mitchell
from his scoring responsibilities and duties,
but also the same thing for Evan Moby.
You don't have super high expectations
than him being like a 25-point per game score
or anything like for a just like that.
So I like it.
It gives them so much,
a much higher upside defensively
in a different way.
Back then, last year and over the last few years,
their defense in the paint is so imposing.
But on the perimeter is where you start to have like a few questions.
So I would have loved it.
And also, I don't care what Kevin Durant says.
If the sons or if the calves, knowing that KD was like,
I'm not going to play for you and they still offer Darius Garland,
you take that deal and you say, well, not my problem.
We're going to take Darius Garland and we're going to keep moving forward.
And you just push it from that point.
Like I don't, we've seen, we've seen plenty of times.
We've seen sometimes where teams work with.
with their stars and get the best package
or
you see what we saw here
where we just laughed at the suns
for that entire package because we
like, I know you're 37 but you did
not get enough. I have new news for you, Donovan.
What's news? The Atlanta Hawks
have emerged as a trade suitor for
Kevin Durant per the Stein line.
Wait for Chris Oswis. Yes, that's
Kevin Durant, my bad. For Christos Porzingis,
the Atlanta Hawks have emerged as a serious trade suitor.
Sir.
Into resting.
sir who is per jake fisher and mark stein no mark steyn what the fuck is that that was an insane sound
all right i thought it came from jake fisher to so i'll like jac mr mark stein mark stine all right
he got it we have a new gm today i was just earlier today off camera i saw and i was
watching our new gm's first press conference and he was talking about how he was enamored with size
literally yep and chrysosos is literally the biggest dude available in the market so it makes sense
as to why he would want this to happen.
He also said how he also talked about how he wanted to empower
a Yaka Kangu more.
And if there's any big who can help with some of the things
that he struggles with outside of boards because Prasincus ain't doing that too.
Przingis feels like a good partner or at least a good shift
in different dynamic offensive before this.
So what are you giving up to get KP in this situation?
Salary filler.
Trey man.
Oh, we also have a trade exception as well for worth like $25 million.
Can you aggregate trade exceptions?
I don't think you can.
But regardless, this is a weird fit.
So if they did this, I'm guessing they would make K.P.
A corner sitter, a space in the floor,
and O'Neika is going to be the role man for their base packages
with Trey Young and Halfport?
Sure.
Big spacer.
He can be a catch-and-shoot threat.
I don't know.
This completely, like, that completely abuses the idea of Jellon Johnson as well, doesn't it?
I don't think so.
Jeline Johnson, the three, I guess.
So you'd have, you'd be a big, lengthy team like they want to be.
For Risha Shea, or Dyson, Daniels, actually, no thing.
You don't want to bench Risha Shay.
Yeah, Rishasei has to start in my mind, just for development.
So maybe they bring KP off the bench or Onyaka off the bench.
But I think they probably, after what they saw last year, we want to keep starting on Yucca,
and we know they want a lot right next to Tray Young.
Kishawls, Chris Osversing says, not that.
Yeah.
It's just a weird bit.
I think those two basically play together and separately, which, you know, they could use another
big to give that.
I'm always a fan of versatile backcourt pairings like that.
mean front court
strange just strange
I had to sit with this
this would be a weird move
that I don't think is crazy
but I wouldn't love that
for the Hawks
yeah I'm just really
more so worried about
what we would give up
I know Train Man would beat
the fuck up out of here
he makes like 15 million dollars
not because he's a bad player
yeah kind of is but
I'm glad you see the vision now
there's not that much
this trade doesn't move me for real
it helps we're a decent team
but it doesn't move me necessarily
Karas Lever
Terrence Man and
Kobe Buffkin. That could have
get it done salary-wise. Because
Carislevert makes $60 million, Terrence Man
11, Kobe Buffkin 4. That gets you to 30.
Man, Boston's kids look so different, man.
Yeah. I
could go with that idea. I'm going to miss Carouselvert
because he, outside of Tray Young,
or actually, no, outside of fucking... Oh, sorry.
Sorry, Carislevert's a free agent now. My bad.
Oh, really? Okay.
Yeah, so no. So,
Terrence Man is actually making $15 million.
now.
Yeah.
So to get the other 15 million on Yucca Ocongongu makes $15 million.
No, there's zero chance that'll happen.
I agree.
But other than that, Risha Shay makes 13.
You pull this up.
Our GM is way too, is way too smart for that.
I think we pulled this up on the big screens you guys and see.
We got to be able to trade that trade.
I don't know if it's feasible or possible, what the rules are.
I'm not a cap guide.
But that trade session might be involved in this if that's the case.
Yeah, because they're salaries.
Like, listen, 25, 26.
And Yucca's at 15?
Terers Man's at 15.
I guess you're not trained Dyson Daniels so they could pick up
So they could do George Nying at 8
That's 23
Okay yeah they could probably do
George Nying Terrence Mann
And Buffkin that gets you close enough
You can bring it a little bit more than you send out
Your mind okay
Yeah those are nothing burgers in my mind
Yeah I didn't see George's Nying at 7 I mean at 8
So that's what it would be
Okay
Yeah if that's the package then sure
It just adds more versatility to this team
The last time we had a stretch big
We haven't had a stretch big at all
Any big who can shoot outside of I guess you can say
George's Nying but for being for real
here since like Al Horford and Paul Millsap.
Hella long ago.
So it makes us better in the short term.
What are the,
what are the salt is cooking?
It was also reported today at their
that teams are calling about Jaylon Brown.
Are they gonna tank, tank?
And like, you know what they're picking?
Yeah.
They're gonna tank, try to get like the number one pick?
Yeah.
What do you have left though if you do that?
You, I assume they keep Derek White.
So you have, Tatum comes back the following year.
You have the number one pick,
Derek White and Tatum.
And a slew of cap space,
I guess they would just like completely read
do the team in the following summer?
The only way they decide to trade Jalen Brown
is if some team in the gutter is so desperate
and they slut themselves out.
Like, can you, like, they slug this out
in terms of every asset possible.
Picksops on pick swaps, assets on assets.
All right, well, he's not, he's not honest.
That's the only thing that'll move my,
that'll work for me if I'm someone like.
Number two pick?
Should the Spurs trade Jalen Brown, number two pick?
Nah, no, no, no, no, no.
Apparently, Legion Hoops has been told
the Celtics are seriously.
Considering Jay and Roops.
Legion Hoops has his ear to the pulse and he's been told that she's he considering it.
Would it be a stunner?
It would be crazy if they traded Jay and Brown just because I do think that whenever Tatum comes back,
you would like to have some continuity.
But also, you saw, you saw Jayden Brown last year with the knee injury.
It wasn't amazing.
As the salary cap gets bigger, the number's not going to look as bad.
But still, you're going to be paying Jaylon.
Brown some massive money in a couple of years.
And so by the time Tatum comes back, do you really want to bet on that?
Or do you just want to have Tatum and Derek White and Al Horpher as an assistant coach?
What's up?
What if?
What if the Spurs take Dylan Harper, point guard the future and they trade Darren Fox or
Jaylon Brown, Deer and Fox 14 and some other stuff to make the value work to the Celtics?
If I was Deer and Fox, I'm punching somebody.
Yeah, I'm pissed
He was so happy to be back at home
With his family
His girl's family too and all that
Just man
I don't think it's gonna happen
I wouldn't necessarily be
I would want to pair Deer and Fox
With Jalen Brown if I'm the Spurs
I want to have a big three
For the 12
Wimby's cheap
But like I'm just trying to think about why
Because you know people
I've been linking the Jaylon Brown
thing to the Spurs
I'm trying to think about how and why
they would do that
And that's like the only pathway
That makes like a little bit of sense
Even though I still wouldn't like that
What if the teams
The Memphis Grizzly
Like the Grizzies
What if they're just like
I love that
They want to stockpile so many assets that you can't find a better guy
at his position specifically for the grisies.
They've been struggling, fighting for their lives over the last few years.
Jamie Brown is a guy who's obviously proven to show up in the playoffs.
Great defender when he wants to be great finisher, great decent shooter.
In my mind, it makes sense.
And they have so many picks to do that for as well.
Makes sense.
I would do it if I was in.
Yeah, I think that would make sense a lot for the Grizzlies.
Honestly, Jaylon Brown's top of a player that fits almost fucking anyway.
Jaylen Brack, no would be cool.
This would be hard to make sense
because they don't have assets like that
that probably interests of Celtics.
If we could somehow get him to the Nuggets,
Michael Porter Jr.'s values in the gutter,
so they can't do that.
I don't think because it would take a three-team trade
where somebody has to want to give up picks
for Michael Porter Jr., which is not happening.
But if they could somehow, some way, make that happen.
He would eat alongside yoke's like crazy.
That's the type of playmaker
Jalen Brown needs to be with.
That's how we get Jailen Brown
until the Hall of Fame.
He would be so crazy.
We're going to talk about it was a top-10 shooting
guard ever that would be perfect jeez but yeah something to monitor apparently jaylin brown thing
is in the air okay some draft news to get to uh ace bailey stock has been plummeting if you guys
been looking he is refusing to do workouts for most teams and it has been reported that the sixers
will not be drafting him and he's really trying to angle his way to get drafted to somebody we don't
know who but it's not somebody in the top three or four it seems like curious where do you
think you're trying to go it sounds like he wants to have uh he wants to be
in a situation where it's his time to shine he wants to be in the best position for him to thrive
as a player so teams with literally no identity and teams that are just throwing shit at the wall
i'm thinking about i don't know the brooklyn nets immediately when it comes to mind they're one of
the only teams who are just like lingering in the NBA trying to find and stick to some sort of
identity i would love him to go to the wizards wizards are also a really good team too i like
and he fits a lot really well over there now i think about
two because of their lack of offense and they already have their defense of identity set
behind all the guys that they have yeah i don't listen i have no idea where he wants to go
but shout out to him like if you if you can try and control where where you're gonna go i'm actually
kind of for that why i think that's terrible i think his i think that's terrible thing to set up
for your well i've i've kind of i'm i don't know i feel kind of bad for for ace like why just
what does that mean why why you put that for him because they'd be dogging her
I've heard guy he loves the buckets he loves a mid-range jumper he loves it especially but doesn't go in a lot
see and this is why like he's a he's a talented he's he's a talented player and I just think that
like people at this point yes there is that aspect of his game but like people the way that people
are talking about is like oh he can he can never do this he can never do that like he's he's not
going to be a winner at all it's like he's like 19 and a very like talented athletic player
get him in the building and see what happens.
Like, I don't know.
So if he feels like there's a certain spot where he wants to go and that will be better
for his career, I'm more power to you for doing that.
I really want him to go to Sixers because I really want him.
I also agree he has potential, obviously.
I just really hope he's in a place where they can like start him as a role player and channel
him slowly into doing these things the right way.
And, you know, everybody reads as he leaves and like assumes what he wants via this whole
thing and everyone assumes he wants to go to a team where he can just get the usage and be a
star right away. I very much wish the opposite because I think he could be good but I think he
could be like a super role player to start and then obviously if things go well continue to build
on that. But I think his skill set as a 3 and D guy that can do a little bit, attack and close
outs, can run some do some stuff with the bench units and like pick and choose his spots but
be able to contribute next to stars. That's my vision for him. But I feel like that it's not his
vision for himself. Either way, like if he goes to Philly, he's going to get the usage. This is just like
such a one way, like, level of thinking when it comes to what type of player he wants to be
in his career.
Sure.
Like, you can get into the Brooklyn Nets or the Wizards and have all the opportunity in the world
to be the number one option.
But is that best for you in your skill set?
Do you want to have, like, a six-year NBA career on average, maybe four-year NBA career?
You get a season where you average, like, 18, 17 points per game, and you flame out?
Or do you want to be a player who sticks around the league for 12, 15 years and you collect your bag
through, of course, naturally the longevity
that you've been in the league
and have a respectable reputation.
I think it's reckless by his agent.
I don't, it's not reckless.
He's represented by the same guy
that represented Sharif Cooper
and Sharif Cooper famously alienated a lot of teams
to try to navigate where he wanted to go
and he went in the second round
and never got a chance in the NBA for real.
So people are reading the tea leaves
and being like,
somebody needs to tell the guy to relax
because this is second time
someone of the client of his did something like this.
I'm not necessarily saying
whether or not it is that,
but that's why people are reaction
in a certain way.
I am.
This is the best decision makers in the world in terms of basketball.
Whatever they say and whatever they kind of want to lead you to be, they're probably
right.
Who?
The entire.
He's saying how GMs view you.
If GMs are viewing me as a guy, should, should this, you'd be the how the player you are.
I'm good.
That is, that's massive glaze.
I think I'm the smartest guys in the world.
Goat glaze in the NBA, dumbass.
No, no, it is, it is massive glaze because it's like,
NBA GM's,
up all the time.
Yeah.
You know, like, if they truly knew what was happening, every time that we do a redraft,
the redraft would look the exact same.
They would know when the best players are, are, and when to take them and do,
and do all of that.
Like, they make mistakes all the time.
Nobody's saying they're perfect.
That's not the argument.
The argument isn't they're infallible.
It's that if everybody is telling you something, listen.
Like, it's like, if the league is saying something, listen, like, it's, no course,
it's not going to be 100% accurate.
That is not the point at all.
It's like, no one's saying that you are a shooter.
You will say it.
like they're not no one thinks that he will only be that as a six or maybe we're for like
first year two years no man don't put your limitations on me like i i i think it i think it's
i think it's okay for for ace baby to try and and and and either like put immense faith
and slash pressure on himself to go wherever he wants and then now it really is on you and
i think that if you feel that way and you said i just want the opportunity i know that whatever
happens after this, it's going to be on me because I kind of dictated the situation.
That's cool and that's, that's fine.
I, I just think that it doesn't make sense because it's like, bro, like how much opportunity
do you think you're going to get in Philly?
How many years you think he's going to get a lot.
Exactly.
I know.
That's all my.
You should be more than willing and you shouldn't want it to go ahead and decline opportunities
when it comes to working out with the Sixers.
Like, Joel and beat.
Oh, shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, what happened, whatever, whatever, whatever.
Sean Sharania happened.
Wait, chat.
What's going on, man.
Don't look at your phone.
Let me show you first.
I don't see anything.
Atlanta and Brooklyn are finalizing a three-team trade
that has Chris Huss-Fruzingis
and a second-round pick to the Hawks.
Terrence Mann and Atlanta's number 22 pick to the Nets,
Georges D. Yang, and a second rounder to the Celtics.
They traded Chris Oswis for George's Diang
in a second.
Like we said, salary dump.
You guys traded your first round pick
and then the exact package we talked about
for Chris House Svigis.
Woo, man.
First round pick?
Yep, the pick 22.
No one gives a fuck about that pick 22.
I'm not going to lie.
We keep our 13th overall pick.
George Nying, shout out to you.
We just appreciate the glazing that you've done
for someone like Jalen Johnson and Mo Gay,
giving our guys more shine.
I like this a lot.
This is basically not.
I love when this happens.
I love this.
This rarely happens.
We got a live reaction.
Interesting.
Okay, so the Celtics are blowing it up.
The Celtics are tanking, right?
This is two trades in a row
where they add players who are not as conducive
to winning basketball, period.
This one, obviously that.
Anthony Simons, that's an opinion.
But I think we, knowing what the Celtics value from their guards,
this is a player who is not the same mold.
And now they're getting George St.
Nying in a second, a straight-up salary done for Crystal Sprozingis.
They're bottoming out.
I don't know.
Jaylon Brown's safe.
He might not be, but I don't know.
This, I'm still not shocked yet.
We, we kind of expected Drew Holliday and Christop's Prisenghis both to be gone.
Yeah.
And now, now they're gone.
But they're gone for nothing.
They're not gone for retooling.
They're gone for dumps.
this they have new but this is kind of a also like a retool where all respect to to jalen
brown and to derrick white i don't think that they're going to be leading them to some crazy
you know some crazy wild um record and so you can go into next season the bad part is at the east
is so bad that you still might look into some stuff but you can put yourself in a situation now
where you still have decent players whenever Tatum comes back
because it is kind of dangerous to do,
like the Warriors did what they did
because Clay was coming back and Steph was coming back.
You were getting two of those guys.
If you trade away Jalen Brown
and you are only getting back Jason Tatum,
then it's a real like rebuild.
And so if you want to be a little bit competitive
whenever Tatum comes back,
I don't think you trade Jalen Brown at this point.
I think you've made your point, right?
You don't want to pay the tax.
You've gotten the two most unreliable people
on your starting five.
out the team good you're done and now we can just keep moving and then you go and you flip simons
you get some more assets for that and then you rebuild with those three guys i'm cool with that
okay so let's wrap up the boston Celtic thing they trade drew holiday for anthony simons i think
what you just said they're going to give him usage in the first half of the season flip him at the
deadline get i'm sure they can get a first time pick for him if they can get some good usage out of him
and help him put up numbers that convinces a young team out there that he can be a guard to help them
Phoenix Sun's been a trade for every
something like that
that's a good move
we like that trade
to get rid of Drew Holliday's contract
who has multiple years left on his deal
that was a just straight up
you have long term money
you no longer pay
this was an expiring contract
after this coming year
but it ducks them even farther at the tax
so they're not going to be paying tax
whatsoever anymore because Christops is gone
and this to me screams
we want to be bad
right so everything you're saying
makes sense they're gonna hopefully keep
Jim Brown hopefully keep Derek White
hopefully get Tatum back the following year
have those guys your core three players
and all the cast face in the world to maneuver
without being the second apron and reload.
Fine.
We understand.
We'll see what comes next.
Atlanta Hawksmo,
how do you feel about this for them?
Are you a better team now that you have Chris Osperzingus?
I think we're absolutely a better team.
When it comes to having,
also this also means click and plus the fuck up out of here.
We have a replacement center.
He's a leger.
Sadly.
Congratulations.
I'm praying for you, brother.
But I think this is an amazing trade for us
because, again, I said earlier that our GM right now
he realizes that this team needs any, for us to have any type of success in the postseason
specifically, we need size, immense size, and we've got the biggest guy available in the
market for fucking pennies.
George Nying, see ya, that 22 pick will probably mean nothing for us for a team that's
trying to compete as soon as possible, considering our star point guard is headed towards
the age 30.
It's not 30 yet, but he's getting up there a little bit.
And so I like this overall.
On the court-wise, it makes sense.
I think, now that I, like, thought about it more,
presences 100% coming off the bench.
And there's definitely so many times.
The Hawks, fun fact, I think I learned this the other day.
The Hawks, when it comes to, in terms of generating quality looks,
they led the league at that.
But when it comes to finishing plays, we're the worst at that.
And you take quality looks, that's a mixture of open threes and shots at the room.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And basically that just means that we have no play finishers.
We have no gunners.
We have no bucket getters in the simplest terms.
And Prozingis at his best is that.
So I like it.
The Nets now have in this, in this draft,
8, 19, 22, 26, and 27.
Damn.
18, 22, 26, and 27.
This is a deep class of role players, for sure.
Like, those 20s picks are,
this is a strong class
or having a lot of picks in the 20s, I think.
And eight.
Five first strong picks in this draft.
Yeah.
They should trade back from eight, low key,
and just have a bunch of those.
Because eight and 15,
this draft is one of those ones where the top end,
strong but then you get to like six through 15 is real flat so remember we talked about the okay
c thunder and wanting to trade up they have 15 24 and 44 what if the what if that's the net's
hear that and they're like listen we might have 12 picks in this draft dude that's tough
we might have 11 picks of this draft 8 for 15 for yeah what the done that 15 24 yes yeah I would
think about it actually maybe I wouldn't because they already have four you don't need seven
picks in a draft that's too much yeah so maybe it's not I mean the nets don't have
any money.
They need a young core.
They need a deep young core.
And even without doing that funny hypothetical,
8, 22, and what else you say?
27 and 28?
Yeah.
8.
819, 22, 26, and 27.
Three top 22 picks.
That's a good way to restart your own core.
And they still have Cam Johnson too who they're 100% going to ship as well.
They can trade him for another top 10 pick.
Man.
I'm moved.
Listen, the nets, the whole thing is they blew it up last year and didn't go all the way.
They didn't tank all the way and get it.
have a top five pick that was disappointing we wanted to see them get in the sweepstakes maybe get
cooper flag maybe get don't harper whatever now that i'm seeing all this come together it would be nice
to have one of those guys this is a lot of bites at the apple this is like an NFL draft strategy where
you're just like these picks i have a certain percentage chance of being a starter for us we got
get as many as possible and have as many bites at the apple you don't see a lot of NBA teams do
that i do like the idea though are they it's the draft listen the draft is tomorrow night we
have 24 hours are the nets cooking and do they try to cut that down and maybe take
do you think three and trade for somebody oh trade yes either either trade up or like trade for
somebody in general is there like a disgruntal star in the league right now who we may not see
coming who just wants to who we just may want to hit the reset bun what if they end up trading
for someone now don't mind hold on they can try claxon and cam johnson and get like three more
picks tonight they can have a lot of ammo she now granted if they do that they have no talent
left to do anything with if you get a star but they could trade up in the draft like if you're
looking at a team like the spurs right too and they say listen we love dylan harper but we have
daren fox we don't need dylan harper you want to give us all the picks in the world and we can
have a ton of depth around our guys i see a vision you make you make listen you make all the moves
and you call them walking you call their bluff and you say i'll give you 10 first on picks right
now say you won't what if the memphis are just like yeah we're doing with the john moraine
experience and the Memphis
Brooklyn Nets were just like, here are all these picks
and whatever side we can match.
Then you have, I like that actually
a lot. I love that a lot.
The Nets are cooking, man. There's so many possibilities.
That's really interesting thing. That's the thing.
They have so many possibilities. They have so much flexibility
now that it seemed like
when the season ended, it seemed like they had
a disappointing season because their draft
outlook wasn't anything crazy at the number eight pick
post lottery. Now it seems
like they have the most, I don't know,
exciting optionality in the entire
fucking league. Two years now
they are back to back
just like restructuring their entire
outlook of their organization.
Started last year when the Rainley traded for
or traded away McCau Bridges and got all their
picks back and then
now they're in a position to have
all these like what four or five first round
picks in this year's draft last.
They could keep Claxton and Cam Johnson and just like if they hit on
somebody's picks. Cam would not have a
good time with that man. I don't know.
could just get decent surprisingly quick like that's a lot of opportunities to like that
that's a type of draft that could turn your outlook of your young court round if you hit
three of those fucking seven picks that's yeah good we said eight 19 22 27 28 26 and 27 27
27 25 five top 30 picks if you hit two and a half of them half of them hit one guy's
decent two are good that changes that look at your team yeah they don't they don't have the
tray cam johnson i changed their mind man they're cooking i love what i love seeing
these terrible teams do not terrible things man yeah all right let's talk more about the hawks in
this you say you think kristos was thinking is coming off the bench easily 100% are you move now does
let's say he's off the bench and you have this dynamic big man combo of one yaku kongu
who is a mobile big who can roll and catch lobs be a perimeter oriented big that can switch
on people block shots a little bit really be your main defensive guy and fits with tray as a lop
dirt right kp is the opposite of all those things i said slow footage stretch the field stretch the court
get a different look out there.
And you have Jalen Johnson in the middle.
Great slasher.
Versal defender can guard any three and four, switch on the fives,
can really switch on the ones and twos and be fine.
Very versatile defender.
Dyson Daniels, D.P.O.I. Level defender.
Trey Young leading it all offensively.
Is this the top four seed in the East?
It feels like that.
I mean, if everyone stays healthy, of course,
that's the biggest caveat on these conversations.
But, yeah, I love that because also,
side note, too, he's an expiring contract
within the next year, two years or whatever.
And so this is just a fun-ass thought experiment.
We lose nothing from this draft class or from this trade because
Georgineeing means, shout out to you again,
means nothing to us.
And this 22nd overall pick for the state that this team is currently at,
it doesn't mean much for us as well.
It's not changing our lives at all.
So this is a massive win regards of what way you want to look at it
because we get more talent into the space.
And on top of the talent,
this is a talent who fits really well,
along are core players.
They should be fighting for
a top five scene.
That's easy the conversation.
That should be the floor
because it's going to be Cleveland, New York,
Milwaukee, Detroit, Orlando.
So that's six.
So six is minimum.
There should be the first time in a long time
that the Atlanta Hawks are not in the plane.
I don't believe you.
It can't happen.
It's impossible.
They're destined.
I can't.
You said the first time in a long time,
it's been so long then I'm like,
I can't believe it.
It's not possible.
going to be the playing.
Yeah, the playing is the Hawks invitational.
Yeah.
I just, I do think, I like it.
Also worried just because, again, Pozingis gets hurt a lot.
Jim Johnson, he gets hurt a lot.
Yeah.
And we do have to see Trey Young.
If you're going to, if you're going to do this, Trey, I need you to lock in.
I do need you to get back to the version of Trey Young that we felt comfortable or at least the version that, you know, was leading a team to the conference finals.
That has to show up.
Yeah.
I mean,
Natura,
I think he'll be much better
through a year of adjusting more
into this new role
and having an offense
that's empowering other players
like Deson,
Dyson and then on top of that,
too, an underlying story
that has brought,
obviously,
been more,
has brought more into my intention
because of the
Achilles ruptures
that's been having
between Tatum and Tyree Talibor
and Damien Lurit is,
Trey was legitimately dealing
with a,
sore calf throughout majority not majority i would say like 30 40% of the year and he would sit
out randomly throughout the year and i think he was genuinely laboring that injury and that's
part of the reason why we necessary he necessarily didn't have a fantastic here well are we getting
fake rumors right now stop looking at the chat they're just spamming shit you guys are idiots man but yeah
overall i love i love this move for us i love it so much because it's low risk we gain we lose
nothing. We lose nothing. Do you think there's a world in which
Chris, in which Donyaka Kongu could be available?
No. You think they're for sure committed to him?
I think our, I mean, I don't want to say we're for sure committed to anybody because
anything can happen. Yeah. But I think right now we're super set on
Kongu being our starter. We've not hold him over the last few years, but he really,
really made him prove it to us that he deserved the starting spot over some Lake
and Capella. So I think we're set, especially because our GM randomly unproptuously in his
interview, just mentioned
that yeah, we are locked in. This is going to be a big
year for Okongwu. So he's super set on him in his
potential. I love this.
Do you think there's any politics reason, though, whether I might have to start
KP over him? You think KP's in an embrace a bench roll?
Dude, he just got
traded for Georgia's name. He said, Luke into the Kings
as she hit the Lakers. If you're going to
try to troll us, they can seem a little
bit real, God damn it. But yeah,
he should be homeless because look at what you
was traded for, brad. Look what you were
traded for, brats. George is the yang in a second round pick.
Exactly. Like, what are we talking about? What an
interesting deal man i'm so excited to see how firepower we're also one of the most mid three
point shooting teams in the league last year too and just buckets from across the area and also when
it comes to getting defensive stops specifically like causing havoc defensively we don't we don't
have no length on this court on this team at all big man linked at all we had clinkapela he's
fucking old don't have that much mobility very limited chris talks can do so many things on the court
especially shot blocking and that's something we've been missing for a long as time you know
I love. I can just, I just, I, I'm hearing you in this moment and I'm happy for you.
I can so envision. La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. I can't so envision a world like six
months from now and he's like, we got to trade for zingas. He's never available. You can't
move anymore. I will never get to that point because he was basically for free.
Yeah. Yeah, you can't be mad at. Exactly. That's the part you can be mad at. So if we're
grading this, you got Chris House for free. He's expiring contract. You did trade pick
22. It doesn't move me at this point in time. We have pick 13. So that's why I don't
of a fuck.
I would like multiple picks if I'm the hawks.
So it's not nothing.
I'm just saying it to say that.
I'll give it a solid B minus B for the Hawks.
I go B plus.
Yeah, that's fair.
Like it's nice to have this versatility now.
They have these multiple looks that can throw.
Everyone says we like Trey with a lop threat.
We've never seen him with this insane stretch big threat either.
So maybe that could be a new thing we unlock and we feel differently about
Trey after seeing him this new look.
Yeah.
I like that B minus.
I'm going to combine this grade for the Celtics with the Drew Holiday trade and kind of like view
it as an amalgamation.
Well, do you think it's an A?
Do you think it's like this is this, this tear down and what they've gotten for these dumps is like the move?
I think so.
I think the fact that Drew had years left on his deal.
Yeah.
You gave him the extension and then shipped him away.
I think you dies the major bullet from that perspective.
And then for KP, the last two years have just been so weird with his availability.
And so you know Tatum's going to be hurt.
I don't have to deal with two of these people being hurt,
be in and out the lineup.
So getting rid of both of them and just being out of the second apron,
it's a massive, massive thing because it would be so frustrating
if Tatum came back and you have no avenues to get better
or to actually retool because of all these dumb rules.
So I like what they're doing now.
I'm going to give the netting a.
I think what we always say these teams that are like bad rebuilding you to do
is take on bad contracts ad picks.
It's the Sam Presti special.
Somebody is a player they don't want.
They need to have a three-team deal.
They need to find somebody
that can take this guy on.
Say, give me him now
and give me a pick to take on.
That's the playbook.
That's exactly what every GM
should be doing across the league.
Terrence, man, is not so bad.
He's like, you don't want him on your team
for $15 million years.
It's a bit much, but he is fine.
He's not taking your books.
You're not prevented from doing anything.
You get the 22 pick for free.
A plus.
You just slip into the deal
and find the most value.
I agree.
This is the best way to,
after all of the carnage
that their heart went through,
was the year 2021 with the Kevin
or anything happened, 2012.
This is the best outlook and outcome
that they could possibly have. I couldn't imagine
a better offseason for the Brooklyn
Nets over the last two years
at all. The Christophers
Pursingus plus Drew Holiday Trade
saved the Celtics $180 million
in tax penalties.
Remember, didn't they say that number again?
180 million dollars in tax penalties.
Their new owner is so, he went in that bitch
and demanded Chris Tops and drew holiday
to be traded, bro. He said, I ain't pay no
attacks man yeah oh my god they did it that's amazing that's insane good for them yeah and they're
now under the second apron too and the first i think as well damn that's huge and they just save
their asses i fuck wow okay well listen for boston i like it for the nets i like it with the
way that east for you guys i like it it it's kind of a triple win there we go shout out amazing
trades everybody shout out
trade trade's breaking midstream is
amazing and it's about your team
happy and it's about your team and it's a good trade too
yep i can't be mad okay man last thing we're going to do on the stream
i told you guys on a community post to give us your best NBA
offseason predictions and we're going to react to them on stream
we are here now to react to your hottest offseason predictions
we'll give you a w or an l depending on how good the prediction is
let's do it man okay first off coaster
Flix 3-4-2 said, Yannis doesn't get traded and the rest of his prime is wasted in Milwaukee.
Half and half?
I don't think he gets traded this season, but if they flame out in the first round or if they, you know, are a playing team and don't make the playoffs and all that stuff happens, then I think that the following off season, he'll ask for a trade.
But I don't think he's going to waste his entire prime in Milwaukee.
Yeah, but I think the general point of him not getting trade this summer, despite everybody feeling like it's time, knowing it's time, expecting it to be time, and him just remaining loyal, probably a good prediction.
We've heard literally nothing so far about him having any indication of leaving.
Maybe they're playing it close to the chest, and he doesn't know either way.
But we know his natural instinct is to be loyal.
He said time and time again, he wants to be loyal.
He wants to give them every chance to allow him to be loyal.
It feels like he's going to give him at least one more summer.
He's a Hall of Fame pump faker, bro.
Like, over the last two years, we saw him just, like, constantly just throw up.
out the most heinous, random ass, like, aggressive request, saying, like, oh, y'all, I want to win.
And then, like, here we go.
The Milwaukee books are at the worst state.
That's impression.
The last, like, three years of their, of the honest attention.
And he's over here flexing his jersey in front of a random ass statue in Brazil.
Yeah, so, listen, if he wants to be the team go out there for the rest of his career, good for him, I suppose.
Who am I to judge?
Okay.
Next up, WTF Warren says, Miami's front office finally gets a spine and fires Pat Riley's old ass.
They trade for Devin Booker and a new era of heat basketball begins.
It's a new era.
It's a new day.
Get over it.
Woo!
This is just not happening.
What assets do?
This is fan fiction.
This is fan fiction.
Yeah, it's not.
It's not going to die as the GM of the heat.
Probably.
He's there.
No one's going to fire Pat Riley.
That part, if Pat Riley leaves,
Pat Riley chooses to leave.
He retires.
He's not going anywhere by anybody's volition besides his own.
yeah but this is this is the second straight off season where star has been available
Miami has been on the list of destinations and they haven't been able to to get it done
and it's like for for who yeah you you didn't get Kevin Orette because of Haywood highspin
because of having a hot guess Nicole Yovich word okay doesn't feel like it's time but this is a good
prediction it's hot we actually give us hot predictions stuff that is bold this is bold but
is a W take I wish joel and Bede is
is traded in a league stunner
to the Indiana Pacers
from average production seven.
This guy heard that Joel and B.
Tyrese Halliborne talked about
how he was texting Joel and beat it
and Jolan was giving him tips and stuff like that.
I like this conversation.
If this was supposed to happen,
the Pacers would be fucking nasty.
Oh my God.
If Tyrese didn't tragically get hurt,
then maybe I'd be on board.
Now it doesn't make any sense.
But that would be interesting
if they said like, obviously,
the year is lost without Tyrese.
If we're like, fuck it all,
what do we got to lose?
We know we always want to be good.
We'll take the Jewel and beat bet.
We'll take them off your hands.
We'll give you assets, but nothing crazy.
You sit both of them down for the whole year?
Just let him recover.
Redshirt the year?
Interesting.
Man.
This is another fan fiction,
but it's a fun prediction to think about the idea.
How would they get him?
Just trade African for African.
Siakum, see you.
It's not realistic at all.
They're not going to show me.
Yeah.
It would just be interesting.
Connor Games 649 says,
the Grizzlies will use their assets
to obtain a number two option above Jerry and Jackson,
in a fleece trade and become a top five team in the league um number two option above
trip is so really hard and just really like uh jalen brown that's the only way possible
yeah a score that's better than jalen that jaron jackson maybe he's still their second best
player because the defense is so good but a second offensive option i don't think that's impossible
jerry is not a sparn burner offensively yeah you trade for somebody like what like like
like Desmond Bain?
I like the way you think.
Listen, we were just talking about, you know,
the Celtics traded KP, the traded Drew.
Is Jalen Brown next?
Connor games could look real smart.
He can't know.
If Jalen Brown becomes a Memphis grizzly.
No, and this is why,
like if you're Memphis, this is why you trade Bain.
Just because you've seen this team over the last five years
only be able to get one playoff series win.
It hasn't been able to mesh.
Even if you get somebody as good as Desmond Bain,
being able to just try something new
would be worth it. And so now you have all
of these assets to go after somebody like that.
I would have hate it. Yeah. Okay.
King Diesel said the Atlanta Hawks are going to
make a trade for a star and go in a run similar
to the playoffs in 2021.
Great timing. Yeah.
We said this, I made this slice show this morning.
They traded for KP 20 minutes ago.
And as soon as the Thunder 1, I tweeted out
the East Final 4 for next year. And I had,
I included the Hawks in that.
So I think that the Hawks are going to be able to
potentially make a run, win a playoff series, and we'll see what happens if they can get back
to the conference finals.
Yo, do you feel hope for the first time in like five years?
Don't answer.
You're trying to set you up.
Yeah, I know.
I felt so many times.
I don't want to feel no hope for real, but just know.
Embrace it.
Things are happening.
Yeah, a trade for another master star genuinely isn't happening because the Giantsi Murray back trade
really hurt us and we don't have really many
asses to go make that type of leap unless we're getting
rid of Dyson Daniels and Richie saying at that point
I think you're just gutting your team just for
the super short side I wouldn't do that but a run happening
similar to 2021 I smell it the KP trade counts we'll allow
that to be the first part that's our star does a run come next
we'll see Lewis Perez says the Chicago Bulls go all in
for Jonathan Cominga to usher in a new era of Bulls play in
tournament basketball it sounds very Chicago Bullsish
Sounds mad, believable.
Send Lonzo Ball
on a signing trade
back to the Warriors.
Everybody's trying to trade
Lonzo Ball.
Hey, man.
Get him in that system.
Hey, man.
K.P.
to the Bulls.
Kind of cooking.
The K.P.
Josh Giddy duo
runs the playing tournament.
Oh, that's basketball.
Hell, man.
A big three of Kobe White,
Josh Giddy,
and Kaminga.
Free Buzellis.
Forty one wins every year.
Let's fucking cook.
This would make all the sense
in the world.
I hope this happens.
This feels like an accurate prediction.
Let Kminga get his buckets.
Let him get his bucket.
opportunity that he thinks he deserves, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, but he hasn't
gotten that opportunity yet. And it's obviously been a large source attention with his locker
room. Give it to him. Let's see what happens. I'm interested in that experiment. Just send them to
the Nets and call it a day, please. That too. Send everybody to the Nets. Mason says,
Devin Booker goes to Detroit. Yeah. Let's get it going. That's amazing basketball. Let's get it
going. Cade and Booker, and now you don't have to rely on Kade to be like the go-to guy. You
actually have a bucket getter. I need that. This would be the purpose.
Do I would love Cade and Booker together the small just like intricate details are games would work so well off of each other the way that he could relieve the pressure off of Cade and be able to set him up and not make Cade have to do everything with the ball on his hands pounding dribble getting turnovers this would be amazing and vice versa for someone like Devin Booker too we seen him at his best when he had Chris Paul along his side setting up the table and just tell him but Devin Booker like just get buckets I got everything else don't worry about none I love this for them I love this I love it for for Detroit especially Elaine in the chat
said, how can I make the pistons more unlikable?
I don't know what the streets feel about Devin Booker.
If the internet hates him right now, I do not hate him.
I do not hate Kay Cunningham.
I would like that duo a lot.
I need this.
Elena's also a Timberwolves fan.
So maybe she still has some remnant hatred in her heart
for when they beat the shit out of the suns.
And it was like, everybody picked the suns over the Timberwolves.
So maybe she's praying out of their downfall a little bit.
Shout out to Elena.
Shout out.
Ray Bronto said,
76ers take a swing to get Lowry Markinen and trade Poldo,
bump up to the fourth C with an actual healthy roster.
Where's Paul Do you like the idea of trading Paul Doe and their pick for Lowry Marketing in?
No.
I would want to do this.
It's clear as they like the Paul George signing was the biggest swing that the last swing and the biggest win that they have when it comes to the Joel and Beat era.
I think at this point in time it would be so smart for them just to inhale this third overall pick, whether it be Vijay Edgecombe or H. Bailey or whatever it might be.
Yeah, just suck it in, accept it, digest it, let it be in you, breathe young, youthful, live through the Jared McCann and Tyre's Maxie era.
No.
Have those young guys.
I think you don't get an opportunity to pick number three very often.
Well, listen, if you're the sixers, you had a whole era where you did that.
But you have to, you have to, like the number three pick could be an out for you.
I hate to, I don't hate, but like to keep harping on this.
point you don't know when joel and beat is going to be able to be healthy enough for you you know
the paul george contract is already looking bad you you have to have some life for the future this
number three overall pick can be that i don't think you you trade that in right now okay
ian briscoe said lamello bogg traded to a contending team and the return is only one first round
pick no man doesn't mean just got traded for four lamello's getting at least two i don't know the only
teams are trading four first on picks like that or like win now teams that like that's the next
piece he said contending team i don't think a contending team needs to give up for philomelo so like
he only goes to a contending team if it's a sell low and the league gave up on him what are you
are you really a contending team are they that's what i'm saying like contending team only gets him
if the price is in the gutter if it's going to be a big trade and like multiple picks it's
probably going to be more like a rebuilding team i think that wants to make him the centerpiece
are there any contending teams that would do that because the rock is off top of my head maybe
everyone those the clippers out there as a little bit of little bit of
Clippers, I don't think
That'll be fun
That'll be really fun
Clippers have a new identity
But that's again
That only makes sense
If they could buy low
And if the stock on Mello was low
The stock is low
But I don't know how that equates
The trade value
What GMs think
Because it's not like
You're not getting fire
First on Picks of Lamello at this point
He needs to rebuild his value for that
It's probably more than one though
But I don't know where it falls
In between there
I'm looking at the like two and two pick swaps
Maybe yeah
But if the general prediction
That he gets traded to a team this summer
I don't think so
but it's not impossible
for what
it's in the cards
greatness production
says Walker Kessler
to the Lakers
how you feel about that
I would fucking love that
obviously
that's why you put it on here
but do we think it's possible
do we think the Laker
do we think Robert Polinka
has it in him
to get this deal done
Danny Hage hates the Lakers
keep in mind
yeah Danny Ainsch
wants to scam him
he's itching to scam him
he's fucking salivating
his glands are full
thinking about
biting Rob Polinka's head off
now I normally
we like to make jokes
about Polinka
time and time again
he's actually come through
on some pretty big things.
Shout on Nico Harrison.
And so.
It's the only big thing.
No.
The obvious.
No.
To remake the roster, like halfway through, granted, I'm not going to give
him credit, but like to get everything that he got in 23 when they remade the roster,
I, like, he's shown that he can make some deals.
Sure.
That are pretty solid.
I don't think it would be impossible.
Okay.
I don't think it's happened, but I would love for it to happen.
So I hope you're right greatness.
Speak, Cleopoulou.
Derek Lively traded to the Lakers.
The trade will not make sense.
The trade will not make sense.
It's my favorite part.
Do we think Robert Polinka has one more scam left in him?
Does Nico Harrison have one more?
Does Nico Harrison have one more ounce of piss running down his leg to give us?
Donovan, we have to find a producer and kill Isaac.
We have to find a new producer.
Put that post up on LinkedIn immediately.
I can't be in charge no more.
This would be hilarious.
This is a hot prediction.
Obviously, we don't think they're going to trade Lerick Lively.
They have no reason to trade Derek Glevely.
They did just give Daniel Gaffer $20 million.
They do have Anthony Davis.
Dolphin Connect fits quite well between those two.
All right.
Derek Gleck, he's played like 50% of his games so far.
He can play 100% in Dallas.
We got space.
Him and Cooper Flagg, the Great White Hope duo.
Hey.
Hey, shut up.
Hey, shut up.
Nicole Wuchmich can trade into the Lakers.
You're going to hell.
And also, if you are an NBA fan,
you like the deep three and you are a burning producer coming out of college
come over here to work for us at the TD3 we'll pay you exactly four crayons every single
week any color of your choice join the squad now DM us this is obviously what I don't want
but this would be funny this is a Warriors fan so I think this is like a hate comment I think
he's wishing the worst on me oh that's why I included it I think he wants me to die
that will be the it won't be the worst thing for the linkers it won't be bad it would
not move me at all I'd be I'd be upset he could
Get you.
Let's make it happen then.
I will not have a good time.
This happens.
Let's make this happen.
Floor Spacer rebound.
The Lakers go out.
DeAndre Aden and he becomes a top 12 center in the NBA.
Thanks to Luca and make a finals run.
This will be his dream come true because out of us three, he hasn't.
Not a love him, but we've been super down on him.
He's in love with him.
No.
But I will say,
he said,
He said,
Come to the island.
Fly me out, DJ.
I'll never give up on the Andre.
I can't do it
I'll never give up
There's something in there
Get him in a better situation
Put a fire under him
There's something in there left
To be valuable
I don't think it's that happened
It's a lot of money
But like
I'd rather have this in Vosovic
Yeah
I'm a fan of buying low on guys
That we've seen thrive
In certain situations
And they're no longer in that situation
I am not done with Aiden
I'm not a believer per se
But there's a chance
There's a little bit in there
There's a spark left
It's a dominant
Yeah
I could be sold
If the price is right
I could be sold
I would not be if this happens
I will not be as mad as the Lakers fans will be.
One of the Cavs Big Four will be traded by the deadline.
Let me guess.
Jared Allen, to the Lakers.
Hey, I didn't say it.
No, but what's more likely?
Obviously, something will be done.
It's not going to be Mobley.
Probably won't be D. Mitch, barring, surprising trade.
I don't think, I actually think this is a bad prediction.
I don't think any one of them are getting traded by at the deadline.
I think the cabs are going to be either the one or two seat out east next year.
So you think they're running back completely and believe.
that the regular season was real
if they didn't get hurt
they would be in the finals
they're gonna give themselves
another chance
they're gonna give themselves
one more opportunity
to go into the playoffs
with this big four
and see what you actually have
and then
if their leg gets let
if their leg
gets wet gets leg
I know
basically if they piss on themselves
somebody's getting traded
yeah
okay next one
Jaylon Brown
gets traded to the Spurs
for the second pick
and Devin Vassell
and the Spurs
make the finals
guys who's on the bench
for the spurs
Nah.
If they make this deal, who's coming off the bench?
I think Devin Vesel's contract is too big and too long.
Pause.
What the f!
Sorry, man.
Nobody was going to say anything.
I'm sorry.
I caught myself and now it's kind of crazy.
But anyways, I don't think Devin Vesel fits what the sellers are trying to do,
which is just shed cap space.
Yeah, they probably don't want that money back.
So, I mean, they could always rewrite them to a third team.
So that's always possible.
But I don't know, Jalen Brown for the second pick,
I see the vision.
I don't know if they're necessarily going to be trying to.
to trade the second
second pick overall.
I think they like
Dylan Harper.
They like the timeline
he's on with
Wemby and they like
they just want to run
that back and you know
stay calm
don't do too much
but if they did do this
I would not be upset
I would see the vision
okay
yeah I'd be okay with it
they're in the chat
going crazy talking about
your girth and tonnage comments
yeah it was crazy
Janus goes to the Raptors
I saw that too
Karrison
Yonnas goes to the Raptors
and it's like the 2019 run once again
with the Raptors
at least get into the conference finals.
No.
I had to think about it.
Okay, Yon is here.
Yeah, my son.
Get back to your day job.
I had to throw the Raptors a bone.
You know, they always feel like nobody cares about them.
I tried to make you guys care
and apparently you shit on them once again.
Yeah.
And that's the last one.
Sorry Raptors fans.
This is ending with a Dutch.
Nobody cares.
Yeah.
And with that being said.
