1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: The volume. This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What 2 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: is up? Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight 3 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Fire for Thursday, June fifteenth, one week, Ladies and gentlemen 4 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: to the NBA Draft. Very excited obviously, you know when 5 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: min Yama at the top, no drama there, but after that, 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: who the hell knows. Sounds like a lot of trade 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: chatters picking up and we got some big names potentially 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: moving around in the NBA. I'll tell you what I 9 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: think is behind it. But the huge news Wednesday obviously 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: Bradley Beal. According to every NBA reporter, I guess it 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: was a mass tech scent from the agent. The Wizards 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: and Bradley Beal are working together around his no trade 13 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: clause to get him to a contender, to a better city. 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: Because we know Washington new GM Michael Wanger. They are 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: looking to tear the whole thing down. I know nobody 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: outside of me and like my nine DC friends who 17 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: listen to the pod, nobody really cares about the Wizards. 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: But there is a there's a feasible quick turnaround in 19 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: Washington with Porzingis and Kuzma both on player inspiring contracts. 20 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: I think both'll opt out, and now if you move bial, like, 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: holy cow, we got a lot of potential. So I 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: need to start with Bradley Beal because he turns thirty 23 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: this month, and I actually thought he had a bit 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: of a better resume than he actually does because I 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: had this hot take that I floated to our group. So, guys, 26 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: Bradley Beal. Now, by the way, obviously, Damian Lillard has 27 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: been the big name for the last two weeks during 28 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. Oh, he thinking if he can get Lillard, 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: he can get Lillard. Well, what does Washington do? Hey, hey, hey, 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: we got Bradley Beal. We got Bradley Beal. He's younger, 31 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: he's a little cheaper. By the way, I did look 32 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: this up. This is insane. The final year of Damian 33 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Lillard's contract in Portland, when he is, I believe, thirty seven, 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: he'll be making sixty three million dollars. Now, I know 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: you'll say the CBA is going up. Everybody's gonna be 36 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: making that. Damian Lillard the last two years has been hurt. Okay, 37 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: a lot of playoff games under his belt, by the way, 38 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: more than Beale, and Lillard's gonna be making sixty three 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: mil when he's thirty seven. Bradley Beal his contract a 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: little less onerous and he's younger. Bradley Beal when he 41 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: is thirty four will be making fifty seven mil, which 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: is a lot. And Bradley Bial is only a one 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: time All NBA guy Damian Lillard seven So on the surface, everybody, oh, 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: come on, Lillard's a better player. Not so fast, my friends. 45 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: You guys know I love to go to Costco. Right, 46 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: Costco my favorite store. If they sponsor on this podcast, 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: I'd be honored, straight fired, sponsored by Costco, like it 48 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: would be cool. When I go to Costco, I'm loading 49 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: up on the essentials, toilet paper, paper, towels, bottled water. 50 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that loudly, you know, bad for the environment. 51 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: But I get a lot of bulk stuff. Now around 52 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: the holidays, I'll get bottles of alcohol and hand them out. 53 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: And grey Goose is, you know, one of the better 54 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: vodkas on the market, So you could spend a ton 55 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: of money on a huge bottle of grey Goose, or 56 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: you can get maybe the Kirkland model of vodka, which 57 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: sounds come on, that's off brand, that's cheap. Jason, who's 58 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: drinking Kirkland vodka. If we did a vodka taste test, 59 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm eighty percent sure that you would not be able 60 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: to identify whether it's Kirkland vodka, whether it's Grey Goose 61 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: or whatever other viode. It really would you be able 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: to And I know you're saying yes, but you wouldn't know. 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: You just get the up up brand models when you're 64 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: getting bottle service in Vegas or you going to Miami 65 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: trying to oppress the ladies. Maybe, Oh, the guy's got 66 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: a bottle of Goose, we gotta go hang out with them. 67 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: You know that guy has a bottle of Kirkland. Let's say, 68 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, like, but you're getting more bang for your buck. 69 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: And this is what I'm thinking with the Damian Lillar 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: Bradley Beial situation. Bradley Beal is the Grey Goose. He's 71 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: got an All NBA, He's I believe, gotten some MVV votes. 72 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: He's got two series clinching buzzer beating shots, something nobody 73 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: else in NBA history has. Michael Jordan does not have that. 74 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: Lillard is the brand name you're gonna pay a premium for. 75 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: You want Damian Lillard you gotta anting up a lot 76 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: of draftics. Would you rather have Bradley Beal? By the way, 77 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: Lillard turns thirty three next month. Beal turns thirty this month. 78 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: So you're getting a guy about three years younger. And oh, 79 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: by the way, Damian Lillard logged more career games. They 80 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: both came into the same draft two thousand and twelve. 81 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: Lillard has more career games, average, more minutes, Like, you're 82 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: getting a guy with a lot of treader of his 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: tires and older and a higher contract. As such, if 84 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: I am the Miami Heat, if I'm the Dallas Mavericks, 85 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: if I'm the Philadelphia seventy six ers, I would sooner 86 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: go after Bradley Beal than Damian Lillard. And I don't 87 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: think you're getting that less in return as a player. 88 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: I know what Lillard has done with the seven NBA 89 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: nominations and Beal just has one. And I did the 90 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: player comparison. You guys know, I like this site. I 91 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: don't know who started it. I'm not gonna give them 92 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: too many props, but it's something called Land of Basketball, 93 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: and you could compare any two players you want. So 94 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: I did the Bradley Beal comparison, and of course Lillard 95 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: hasn't beaten a lot. But this is not a forward 96 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: looking indicator. This is just the past. So all NBA 97 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: First Team Lillard was one. Lillard was Rookie of the Year. 98 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: Beal wasn't All Star Game seven to three Lillard. But again, 99 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: these are all in the past. Look forward. Bill is younger, 100 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: and he's less costly. And oh, by the way, I 101 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: would argue Bill has had weaker teammates in his career. 102 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: There's a reason he's been in the playoff once in 103 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: like five years. John Wall fell apart, and all of 104 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: a sudden they fell apart. Bradley Beal obviously can't carry 105 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: a team. And this is where it gets really interesting. 106 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna play a fun game here in a second 107 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: called Beal or no Beal. You like that. I can't 108 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: take credit for that. Someone on the staff, some of 109 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: our deep and robust staff came up with that. But 110 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: I look at what the Golden State Warriors did. Adding 111 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins, former top five pick, almost bargain basement. He 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: could not be a number one in Minnesota. Andrew Wiggins 113 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: goes to Golden State, He's second or third best player 114 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: in the finals against Boston, was very good at defending datum. 115 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: They win the championship thanks to Andrew Wiggins coming on board. 116 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: You could even go back to their andre Iguodala addition, Wow, 117 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: that one just hit me. Agudala was a high draft 118 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: pick of the Sixers. Clearly not a number one. Good player. 119 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe led them to the playoffs once. I think 120 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: once or twice they got to the playoffs. Been like, 121 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: he's better as a three four and he gets the 122 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: MVP of the finals with the Warriors. Then you look 123 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: at this year, Aaron Gordon goes to Denver. You know, 124 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: top five pick in Orlando, not a number one. There's 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that, all right. So I want to 126 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: bring in Rob g who's back from Vegas, I know, 127 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: exploring the nether world, the jiggle joints, the golf courses, 128 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: the expensive gray Goose bottles of For Rob G, I'm 129 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: a Kirkling kind of guy. Rob. I would take Beal 130 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: over Lillard. So we're gonna play Beal or no bial 131 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: would you trade for Bradley Beal on this team and 132 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: a couple of them make more sense for Lillard? But 133 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: I do believe, and again I like Damian Lillard a lot. 134 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: I've been a champion of his. I wear his sneakers, 135 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: as you know, my men's league basketball, even when I 136 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: play pickup. I think I like Beal over Lil in 137 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: a lot of instances. So, Rob, Beal or Nobil, how 138 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: do you want to tee me up? So? 139 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 2: Sean Sherania reported on Wednesday that there are two teams 140 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 2: that he considers to be like the most serious suitors 141 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: for Bradley Beal. So start off with them and we'll 142 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: kind of work away down the list. But first and 143 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: foremost the one everyone's talking about. They just lost the 144 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: NBA Finals, the Miami Heat. They seem to be in 145 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: on Lillard and Beal. But for the purposes of this argument, 146 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: Beal or Nobil, Jason Tyler, Hero, the expiring contract of 147 00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry, Nikola Yovich, and Caleb Martin, plus whatever, I 148 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: think they have two first round picks for Bradley Beal 149 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: and Filler. 150 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing that to heartbeat, and it's weird because again, chemistry, 151 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: heat culture, that's like a thing. Rob. This is a 152 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: tricky one. But I would actually do Beal over Lillard 153 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: here in Miami. Here's why, And I don't know If this, 154 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna agree with this because I've been saying Lillard 155 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: to Miami for a while. Miami, I would say, is 156 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: a heat culture Jimmy Butler team. He is the alpha 157 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: on that team. He is the leader. Damian Lillard was 158 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: the leader in college. Damian Lillard was the leader in 159 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: Portland for his entire career. I think this would be 160 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: a little difficult. Maybe, I don't know if that's the 161 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: right word. I don't think it would be seamless to 162 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: bring an alpha leader in Damian Lillard, who you could 163 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: argue he's a bigger star in name, and I think 164 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: he's a bigger star. Damian Lillard better well known star 165 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: than Jimmy Butler. I think it would be difficult to 166 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: trans him into Miami because is there going to be 167 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: that tug of war over whose team it is? Dame, 168 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: you know, got the wrapping stuff, He's he's an alpha. 169 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know. I mean, I'm sure 170 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: he would fit there, but I think it could be 171 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: a little clunky. Knowing Jimmy and Bam have been together, 172 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: They've accomplished a lot like Dame's gonna have to kind 173 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: of slide in whereas Bradley Beal has never been a 174 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: verbal vocal leader. John Wall was the leader of Washington. 175 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: I don't even think they had one in the last 176 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: few years. So I think Beal can slide in. He's 177 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: an easier, seamless transition to me in a lot of teams. 178 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: So I would actually go Beal to Miami, and then 179 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, I know Lilla would probably want to go through, 180 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: but I think Bial makes more sense. 181 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: Would you agree, Yeah, I mean, especially because you mentioned 182 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: the age, And the only thing I guess the caveat 183 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: for either of these guys in Miami is assuming you 184 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: want to keep Jimmy Butler and bam Ata Bio out 185 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 2: of these deals to add in Bradley Beal, those three 186 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: guys alone be making one hundred and twenty three million dollars. 187 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: And that's one thing that maybe working against some of 188 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: these teams is his new CBA is so punitive. It 189 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: makes it really difficult to keep three stars. But Miami 190 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: has going for them though, is that they're really good 191 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: at getting these undrafted second round players and maybe they 192 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 2: can delout the rest of the roster that way, maybe 193 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: he culture will be a success. 194 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: You know, Caleb Martin in that deal. That would be 195 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: nice if I'm Washington's again, I forgot to cover the 196 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Washington angle, by the way, so Beal gets traded. No 197 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: big contract on the books. Porzingis is on the hook 198 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: for thirty six mil next year, but he's got a 199 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: player option. I'm of the belief, given his age, his 200 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: injury history, he's gonna opt out and try to get 201 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: like a three year deal worth I don't know, seventy 202 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: mil somewhere in that neighborhood. Maybe maybe some team can 203 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: talk themselves into him as the three. So I think 204 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: Porzingis is gonna hit the market, and I think Kuzma 205 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: can definitely hit the market. I think he's got a 206 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: ton of value. So there's a chance Washington's big three 207 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: could all be gone. Then you've got a full on 208 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: tear down Rob. You'll never believe who the big highest 209 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: paid wizard would be if those three leaf. His name 210 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: is Daniel Gafford. He was from Arkansas. You know, he's 211 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: like a seven footer space eater inside, like he's a good, solid, 212 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: serviceable rotation guy. But that would be one of the 213 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: worst teams in the league. And now you get extra 214 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: picks from Miami and Washington could be in business for 215 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four draft. 216 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: All right, we moved down the lister the Milwaukee Bucks. 217 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: So this was a little tricky because again, Chris Middleton 218 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: has a player option as my dog is freaking out 219 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 2: here on the side, So it's hard to you know, 220 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: imagine maybe I imagine it's hard to say for sure that 221 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: he'd want to go back to Washington and any kind 222 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: of deal, especially if it's a tear down, So that 223 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: kind of eliminates him for now. In a direct one 224 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: to one trade, Beal or no Bal, Drew Holliday, Bobby 225 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: Portis and picks whatever I do. How many picks they 226 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: have for Bradley Beal? 227 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: Wow? Who I Holiday is a really really good defender. 228 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that that makes a 229 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: ton of sense. And I like Beale, I like Drew Holiday, 230 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: of course, I don't know that that's a significant enough upgrade. 231 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: I like Holiday, but yeah, I don't think I'm doing 232 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: that deal. And by the way, if you're Bradley Bial, 233 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: you have a no trade cause Bradley Buil went to 234 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: college in Florida. Bradley Beal, I don't even know where 235 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: he's from. Oh wait, I got it right here. Uh 236 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: he is. No, I don't know where he's from. Is 237 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: he gonna want to go to Milwaukee, like Washington's a 238 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: big metropolitan metropolis. I don't know that Milwaukee's that attractive 239 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: for Bill. 240 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if I mean as good as 241 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: Drew Holliday is. Again, you mentioned a teardown. I don't 242 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: know if having Drew Holiday on your team makes you 243 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 2: you know that, you know, I mean, he's too good 244 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: of a player to be tanking, so he'd have to 245 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: find a way to send him somewhere else. But for now, 246 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: we're only focusing on these one to one trades, so 247 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 2: we're we'll move on. So no Bill for Milwaukee. Team 248 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: number three. Team has I think the most picks this 249 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: side of Oklahoma City, the New Orleans pell This one's 250 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: a little interesting. Beale or no Beal, Zion Williamson picks 251 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: and the non guaranteed contracts of Garrett Temple and Willie 252 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: Hernan Gomez come on. Basically it's Zion and picks. 253 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, So you have CJ. McCollum and Bradley Beale, which 254 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: is kind of duplicating. You have Brandon Ingram, valanchounis nance 255 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: oh Man. So if I'm Washington, I'm loving that deal. 256 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: Give me Zion Williamson and picks. I would love to 257 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: rebuild around him. If he flames out and flops out 258 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: and messes up with the ladies and eats his way 259 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: out of d C, what are you gonna do about it? 260 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: You know you tried, but you're also getting picks. That 261 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: being said Bradley Beale in New Orleans, Like, I've never 262 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: been to the French Quarter? Have you been to New Orleans? 263 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: I have not been to New Orleans. 264 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't been there, so I don't I'm sure 265 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people say it's an awesome city, bachelor 266 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: parties and stuff. I I it just never it strucks 267 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: me as like a not one of my top destinations. 268 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know. If I'm Beale, I don't know 269 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: that I want to go there. Like, are you clamoring 270 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: to play with Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum. Are you 271 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: even automatic? 272 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: Hell? 273 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: Are you automatically making the playoffs in the West? No? 274 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: And the thing is, even if you say, okay, well 275 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: we'll flip Ingram instead of Zion, right, you know, maybe 276 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: playing with Zion is more appealing for Bradley Beal. The 277 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: problem with that is, and I don't even know if 278 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: we're gonna get to this is NBA insider Mark Stein 279 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: reported on Wednesday that if the Pelicans were to try 280 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: to trade into the top three, they'd rather trade Zion 281 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: to get into the top three for Schoot Henderson than 282 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: Brandon Ingram. So you know, maybe that one is dead 283 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: on arrival, So you're no bal then to New Orleans Pelicansal, okay, 284 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: we're moving down the list. This is no particular orders, 285 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: is just what we have in front of us. The 286 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns. You know, they were gonna cut Chris Paul 287 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: to save himselves some money, but maybe using his non 288 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: guaranteed contract might help them out. In this case, the 289 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: line at the third star be no bial. Chris Paul's 290 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: non guaranteed contract will say fifteen millionaires though DeAndre Ayton 291 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: plus maybe a pick swap for Bradley Beal. 292 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: So I would totally pass on on Chris Paul. But 293 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: Ayton's interesting, Like I don't love him, but his contract 294 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: is not that bad. Three years looks like about one 295 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: hundred because he just finished one of the years. So 296 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: he's got thirty two, thirty four to thirty five, he's 297 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: still young. It's duplicating what you've got with Gafford. You 298 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: don't need twin towers. But I want picks from Phoenix. 299 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: And the problem is I don't think they have any 300 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: from the Durant deal, right, No. 301 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: So only they like a deal would be swaps. 302 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, if I'm Bradley Beal, sure, I would love to 303 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: go play with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. But I 304 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: don't think that makes sense at all. So I'm not 305 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: doing that. I just don't think I'm Washington. I'm not 306 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: doing that. 307 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: And then, well, the other thing from Phoenix's perspective is 308 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: that you'd have three guys making basically one hundred and 309 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: fifty million, and the there's no hard cap, but the 310 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: second apram is one seventy nine. So you run into 311 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: the same problem they had this year where you have 312 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: a really top heavy roster and vatmnhim guy. So no 313 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: Beal in Phoenix, Okay, Jason's Boston Celtics. Now, there's any 314 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: number of ways you can create a deal with this 315 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: one Beale or no Beal, Jalen Brown, Derek White and 316 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: picks for Bradley Beal. 317 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing that. If I'm Beale, I'm going to 318 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: play with Tatum. Heck to the Yeah I think is 319 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: Bradley Beal from Saint Louis. 320 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: Him and Jason Tatum both from Saint Louis. 321 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: Yes, oh gosh, that is that's heavenly. If you're Bradley Beal, 322 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: I get to go play with Tatum. We still got Brogden, 323 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: we got Horford and Williams. You know you're miss Derrick White. 324 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: And if I'm Washington, heck yeah, I would build around 325 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. He's a young guy. I personally don't he's 326 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: the number one, but we'll see. Well, I got to 327 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: give him a shot, like Aaron Gordon got a shot 328 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: to be a one, Andrew Wiggins got a shot like, Yeah, 329 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown deserves a chance. I don't know how good 330 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: you're going to be in in Washington. Jalen Brown is 331 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: very politically active, so maybe DC is a great spot 332 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: for him. But a Beal, Tatum and you keep Marcus 333 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: Smart too. 334 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: Right, Yes, in that scenario, yes. 335 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: I think you got to do that. I would say, Beal, 336 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: Bradley Beal, You've got a deal. 337 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: All right. Moving down the list, the next team, in 338 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 2: no particular order, the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Now, this 339 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: one is gonna get a little interesting because I think 340 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: you can make a case for both sides why you'd 341 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: love to do it and both reasons why you would 342 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: hate to do it. Beal or no Beal. James Hardy 343 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: maybe out the door, Tobias Harris is expiring contract, and 344 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: Tyrese MAXI maybe throwing another pick or two for Bradley Beal. 345 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 2: Beal or no Beal. 346 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: Huh, So you're looking at a hardened Beal. Embiid combo. 347 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll agree, Rob, this is maybe 348 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: too spicy for you, but this is a team I 349 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: think I would probably rather have Dame than Bradley Beal. 350 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: And one of the big reasons is leadership. I don't 351 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: know that Embiid is a true leader. I think he's 352 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: an alpha, but I don't think he's a leader. He's 353 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: come up very small in Game six at home against 354 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: the Celtics, Game seven at home against the Hawks. It 355 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: doesn't make a ton of sense. I mean, I would 356 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: definitely take Beal obviously, but man like Beal or Lillard 357 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: is a tough one there. But yes, I would be 358 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: interested if I'm Philly, but I would aim a little 359 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: higher and go for Dame. Does that make any sense? 360 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: Like I like the Beal fit alongside Embiid and Harden, 361 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: But in the huddle, who's pounding the table there? Rob? 362 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: It ain't James Harden. We know that. I'm talking like 363 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: Game five, Game six in the playoffs, is James Harden 364 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: speaking up with model or does he have a towel 365 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: over his head? Is Joelle Embiid just looking bewildered? Bradley 366 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: Beal's like, I just got here. I just I don't 367 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: leaderships and issues. So that's why I think Damon Philly 368 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense. 369 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: I'm with you, And even from Washington perspective, I think 370 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 2: I think they do it if it was their version, 371 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: because I think that they I think Tyrese Maxey might 372 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 2: be the best young player given contract that you might 373 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: be able to get in any of these deals. 374 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: So I like MAXI Yeah, well, Maxy. 375 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: Your hero Maxy for sure, he doesn't have a new 376 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 2: contract yet, so until he does, your care. 377 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: But he's proven in the finals. I think in the 378 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: Bubble Finals he went. 379 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: On with really good really really like we haven't seen. 380 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Maxy was good against bossif not great. 381 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: This was probably the biggest long shot because it requires 382 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: a sign in trade. But Beal or no bal Kyrie 383 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: Irving in a sign and trade and another pick for 384 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: Bradley Beale. 385 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: If I'm Dallas, I love that deal. You gotta Beal 386 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: Hardaway backcourt. You've got two great gunners. I don't want 387 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: Kyrie in Washington. If I could reroute him somewhere, I 388 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: need to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. I would just 389 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want Kyrie so that they have to be a 390 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: third team involved. But Dallas is perfect. They need a shooter. 391 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: You find that other three and d Wing you lost 392 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Finney Smith. Bill's not a terrible defender. I would say 393 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: he's a better defender than Dame. Marginally, I like Hardaway, 394 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: although I saw he's on the trade block maybe for Bogdanovich, 395 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: which is crazy. But if I'm Dallas, I want shooters 396 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 1: around Luca, not ball handlers. And I don't think Kyrie 397 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: wants to be a spot up kind of guy. And also, 398 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: just like when Brunson was there, Luca goes to the bench, 399 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: runs and runs the offense. Bill can run the offense. 400 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: He can he can get buckets, he can get you 401 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: can attack the basket. Better two point shooter than Dame. 402 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: And shockingly, Bill and Damian Little have the exact same 403 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: three point shooting for their career thirty seven point two percent. 404 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: I love the Bill fit in Dallas, and as a 405 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: Luca fan, I hope to see it happen. 406 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 2: All right, I got three more teams, this one it's 407 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: home for me, you know, huge Laker fan. I'm not 408 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: going to offer you Anthony Davis, so this is probably 409 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: be a definite note beal or no beal to the 410 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: Lakers for the contracts of Malik Beasley and Mobamba, two 411 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: first round picks and Austin Reeves in as sign in trade. 412 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, two picks five years from now are attractive when 413 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: the Lakers will be crap. Austin Reeves is not nearly enough, 414 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: I would do. I would consider Anthony Davis, that's for sure. 415 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: But if I'm the Washington Wizards, do I want a 416 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: d like am I building around a thirty one year 417 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: old Brittal Center. I'd rather have picks, So probably no bal. 418 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: But if I'm the Lakers, I'd love beal Reeves, Hachi Mora. 419 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: Remember Hachi Mora played with Beale in Washington and Lebron, 420 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: So I like it if I'm the Lakers. I don't 421 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: love it if I'm the Wizards. So probably no Bil. 422 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Last two. For me, this 423 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: is the one. I think that's probably the most likely, 424 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: just given their pick situation. Beale or no Beal. The 425 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: New York four r J Barrett Derreck Rose is expiring 426 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 2: contract and four first round picks. 427 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: Four first for Beal. Oh man, that's a I think 428 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: that's more than Donovan, Mitchell and go Bert and all 429 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: those guys. Probably not do Washington. I'm running to do that, 430 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: even though it's in division or whatever. Yeah, Bial and 431 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: Brunson is a pretty nasty backcourt. And you're not giving 432 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: up Randall, You're not giving up Mitchell, Robinson, You're keeping quickly. 433 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: I guess I don't hate that. Before first is a Ton, 434 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna guess it doesn't happen. But Brunson and Beale, 435 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: Brunton and Bial, the alliteration galore, I would love that. 436 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Last one, And this is 437 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: the one that's gonna blow your mind because involved the 438 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 2: two guys. You opened up the show talking about Beale 439 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: or No Bill to the Portland Trailblazers for Anthony Simon's 440 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 2: Yusef Nurkic and the number three over pick. 441 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: Wow, if I get the number three pick for Washington, 442 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: that's massive. I go Brandon Miller's Goot Henderson start over. 443 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: But it just feels like Dame and CJ. Re Ducks, 444 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: So I probably would not do it. We've seen this 445 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: show before, we know it. It has like a ceiling 446 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Bill's better than CJ. McCollum, but they're similar, 447 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, I would not do that one. Ultimately, Rob, 448 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: do you think you think Bill gets dealt? I think 449 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: it's almost certain that he's gonna get dealt. 450 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think, like I said, I think the one 451 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 2: that makes the most sense for everybody given their pick situation, 452 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: given their contract. Because the New CBA is a monster, 453 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: like it's gonna be almost impossible to keep three high 454 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 2: paid guys at the same time. So I think the 455 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: New York Knicks they have a lot of guys, even 456 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: though max guys are like twenty five million ish, So 457 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: I think you can come and cobble up those guys. 458 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: At plus picks and then you'll be good. 459 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: All right. So Bradley Beal could be on the move, 460 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: very very exciting. I think it's almost a lock that 461 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: he gets dealt maybe before the draft. It's the number 462 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: three pick is in there. I don't think the pickxer 463 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: is attractive in the four, five six range. Houston could 464 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: a contingents you plan for James Harden be Hey, we 465 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: can't get hard, but we're bringing Bradley Beal. I don't 466 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: know how that really works with Jalen Green and some 467 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: of the young guys they got there, but NBA is 468 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: going to get super fascinating here. We got Zion to 469 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: you'll talk about tomorrow. We're working on a good guest, 470 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: very well known former college basketball player. We're kicking some 471 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: tires on NFL guests. You know, summer can be slow, 472 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: but we'll bring in the topics and the takes here 473 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: on straight fire. Talk to you tomorrow.
