WEBVTT - NBA Draft Reaction with Matt McEwan 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.040 We're live. I'm sorry, I'm late. There's some protests in 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.840 this city. What else is new on this episode of 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:16.560 The Heat check Man twenty twenty two draft is history 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.800 and oh my god, the pre draft consensus number one, 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:27.080 Jabari Smith went third overall to Houston, a team that 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.080 cleared a spot on their roster for him, traded a 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:35.680 player for him, Paolo ban Carrol, the pre draft consensus 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.760 number three, was drafted number one despite never working out 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.159 with the Magic And that was just the beginning, folks, 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.800 just utter and complete madness. We will break it down 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.680 all along with you, along with some Kyrie news on 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:54.800 his quote unquote preferred destinations. Seems like a divorce is 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.840 inevitable in Brooklyn. We also have a great interview with 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.040 Matt McEwan, a betting insider. I help us understand all 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.400 of the insanity around the NBA Draft and what that 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.959 meant from a betting perspective. So much chaos, Brock, I 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:19.000 need you to drop that from Welcome, Welcome to our 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:25.679 post draft show, live, absolutely live. We are going to 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.200 have on Matt McEwan later on today, editor in chief 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.640 of Sports Betting Dime, friend of the show. He is 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.520 going to break down the odds, betting odds for the 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.199 number one pick and why it went so wonky also 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.160 really quickly before we also get into some news. Google 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.320 Palo Ban Carro's suit for Draft night. If you're wondering 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.880 do I hate this or do I actually love this? 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.440 Let me just tell you this. This one little bit 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.680 of news I think will change your mind. If you're like, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.160 what was that on Palo Ban Carro's purple suit? Those 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:05.320 are solitaire diamonds? Fire, absolute fire. Anyone who can put 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:10.040 I think four carrot diamonds all around his suit, plastered 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.239 on and so on. This man knew he was going 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:18.040 number one. Sesh all right. So after what felt like 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.160 a little bit of news, after what felt like fake information, 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:30.119 misinformation disinformation about the growing impass, the growing impasse between 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.400 the Brooklyn Nets and the Kyrie Irving camp, which be honest, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.760 it's just Kyrie Irving. There is no camp, there is 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.680 no It's like, that's just a that's a very large 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:49.880 over statement. Turns out, where there's smoke, there's burning sage. Yes, 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.440 the Nets have now all but confirmed they are not 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.720 going to offer Kyrie the max that he's looking for. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.080 Now Kai is opting out of his deal most likely, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.640 and is floating out all sorts of wild ass landing 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:08.480 spots for a sign in trade. Kyrie texted Sat Shams 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.960 and floated out a bunch of teams he would like 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.840 to be traded for. Lakers, Clippers, Knicks, heat Maps, Sixers, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.359 all of whom don't have any fucking cap space. Sixers. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.359 You mean to tell me he's gonna play with James Harden? 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.280 I know this is some boys. A week ago, I 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.800 would have said the odds of Kyrie going to another 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:33.120 team or zero point zero percent, I would give you 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.520 plus five thousand odds, which is five hundred to one. 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:46.920 You give me ten dollars, I give you five thousand dollars. Maschool. Now, 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.040 I don't know anymore. Up and down, Down is up. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.720 Kyrie might again be playing with Lebron. This is going 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.040 to be one of those insane offseasons. This is gonna 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.000 be like the Lebron James to Lakers offseason. It feels like, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.120 let's break it down really quickly. According to Sam Ammick, 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.400 it's not a far fetched idea quote that Kyrie will 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.320 be in purple and gold next season, And let me 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.840 tell you, I need it I need it, I want it. 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.800 This is what he said. You've got people within the 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.880 league actually thinking, man, I think he might find a 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.520 way to get back together with Lebron, And I do 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.280 get the sense that Lebron would open that door, and 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.919 we'll see if they can pull that off. Leave it 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.800 to the Lakers to sign another future Hall of Famer 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:38.440 who's a massive headache and probably won't still make the playoffs. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.279 With you, I cannot express to you how much I 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.520 need this. I cannot express to you how much I 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:49.520 want this. Because Kyrie and Braun and nobody else that 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:54.680 can play defense or shoot is just gonna be glorious television. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.640 Delusional Laker fans will already buy their tickets to the finals, 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.960 are already bet on the Lakers to win it all 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.640 before they'll plan the parade, their location of said parade. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.800 By training camp, they still won't play defense. No matter 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.240 where or how Kyrie ends up in Lakerland, somehow, Sam 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.479 Presty will end up with another first round pick because 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.560 of it. Once again, the Brooklyn Nets will dominate the 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:26.880 NBA offseason news and with rumors now that if Kyrie 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:34.120 goes KD goes interesting, I know a lot of DC 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.400 fans think you can get them. You're not gonna get them. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.000 You're not gonna get them. I'm sorry, you're just not. 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.400 Maybe maybe a three team trade where Kyrie goes through Washington, 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.600 or Kadi goes to Washington, or maybe be O goes, 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.880 you know, bo goes then to the Nets. I don't know, 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.880 but Katie's not playing for DC, y'all. He might want 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.000 to go to Miami. He might want to go to Dallas. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.040 He might want to go that Dallas is a good location. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.279 Mike thinking about Phoenix. Phoenix would be an interesting spot 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:14.040 for him. Denver interesting spot for him. Chaos is a ladder, 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.600 as they say, and that ladder has a permanent home 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:20.640 in Barclay Center. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:39.800 Let's move forward towards the draft. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:44.160 It was absolute madness during the draft. Madness thirty minutes 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:49.440 before madness twenty four hours before. Things themed set in 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:55.640 concrete until they were not. Briefly, here is what happened massively. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.200 Consensus number one pick twenty four hours before the draft 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:03.240 ended up going third. The guy Houston restructed their restructured 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.920 their roster to draft Powol. Ben Carol ended up going 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:11.080 number one to Orlando. The team he actually rejected working 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.600 out for five times. They asked him to come in 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.800 for a workout five times, and he was like his 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.600 people's were like, no, why would we do that. You 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.600 don't even care you're taking Jabbari. And they were like, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.000 but we'd really like to evaluate all three of y'all. 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.080 And they were like, no, we're good, we know you're 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.840 taking Jabbari. Stop playing around. And then they called back like, hey, 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.480 we'd like to see we'd like to see Paolo. And 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.680 they're like, GoF, we told you you're taking Jabbari. And 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.480 they're like, you know, Monday of the Monday of draft week, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.320 they call and they're like, hey, any chance we could 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.760 just do like a zoom workout? They're like, no, GoF 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.560 Thursday there, Wednesday before the draft, the day before the draft. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.120 They're like, hey, any chance you could just fly in 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.400 on the way to Barclays. We'll get you in on 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:07.240 draft day on Thursday. We'll get you out any chance, 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.560 two hour, three hour flight, whatever it is, any chance. 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.120 And they're like, it's weird that you'd be asking us 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.520 this day before but still not interested, and I go 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:24.320 where fine, and they just decided we're taking them anyway. 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:31.240 Interesting stuff, very interesting. Sacramento Kings came out whift again. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.480 They took Keegan Murray at number four when everybody thought 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.640 that they could move down, and they would move down. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.920 There was a million suitors for Jade and Ivy, and 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.120 now they got a guy who's probably in a dreamland, 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:49.120 Kyle Kuzma. In a dreamland, he turns into Kyle Kuzma. 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.600 Yet they could have just drafted Kyle. They could have 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.080 just taken that number four pick, traded it to the 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:04.600 Wizards and gotten Kyle Kuzma and probably the number ten pick. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.600 Maybe you don't like Kyle Kuzma's decision making, but he's 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.600 a hell of a wing player and an athlete, and 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:16.640 maybe that keeps Bradley Beal in DC. Detroit Pistons could 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.280 not have drafted Jade n Ivy faster. They were like, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:24.480 what this guy's here? Yes, excuse me, yes, created this 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:29.240 complicated set of moves with trot Troy Weaver twenty four 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.520 hours ago with everyone killing the Pistons for trading Jeremy 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.640 Grant for a bag of potato chips, which we talked 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.600 about and people wanted to Then after the draft wanted 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.480 to build a statue around Troy Weaver and Detroit. That's 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.839 how fast things changed. At least a dozen teams were 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.880 jocking to get Jade and Ivy after Detroit picked him. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.679 Like no. They ended up also making some moves with 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.679 that twenty twenty five first round pick that they got 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.800 from Portland in the Jeremy Grand trade that everyone said 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:02.520 that they got nothing for to get Jalen Durn. Yes, 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:07.440 they moved up to the twelfth spot, thirteen spot, moved 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:12.360 up to the thirteen spot to get Jalen Durn and 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.400 somehow they screwed the Knicks over in the process. Let's 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.720 discuss the Knicks. Probably the most disappointing draft night for 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.400 Knicks fans. Steven A Smith in consolable. He's getting shoulder 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.079 rubs from Spike Lee. Like Spike Lee's name is Drake 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.720 and steven A's name is Nick Nurse. On the sidelines 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.360 of a finals game. They traded away their eleventh pick 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.600 for a bunch of future first rounders that are protected 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.320 basically for the entire first round, so you don't even 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.800 get them, all right, We're gonna give you twenty twenty 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.640 three first round pick protected up into twenty nine. Uh wait, 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.400 what so you mean to tell me unless I win 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:55.679 the championship next year. Unless unless you win the championship 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.080 next year, I don't get this pick. Yeah. Yeah, Also, 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.880 it's a Detroit pick. It doesn't convey unless they are 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.240 the nineteenth picker. Worse, wait, so you mean to tell 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.160 me Detroit has to make the playoffs next year in 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.480 order for me to get this Yes, and somehow Leon 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.360 Rose neglected to do that research. It's just a few 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.800 first round picks that probably will never convey. They traded 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.840 Kemba Walk, They moved Kemba Walker away, got rid of 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:28.680 some cap space for Jalen Brunson player. I love a player. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.160 You guys know that. I like a lot table setter. 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.600 Good Point are very traditionally sound set the table, tough 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:44.760 defensively Villanova, tough guy. But he's largely expected, like, at 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.320 least on draft night, was largely expected to be back 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.480 in a Dallas Maverick's uniform. So there's a lot of 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.960 speculation about why you do that, baby, Why you do 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.280 that trade if he's going back to Dallas because you 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.839 don't have any other options. Mark Cuban thinks he can 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.680 resign him good things he can they can resign them, 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.000 and it's probably gonna cost him in the upper twenties 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.200 to get them if they can get them. And now 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.840 Wendy and others are reporting that the Knicks are inching 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.360 closer to making Brunson a reality in New York because 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.439 because because because of the wonderful things he does. No, 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.280 that's not why. Because Rick Brunson is an assistant for 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.080 the New York next his dad. Yeah, the Brunson family, 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.280 So they must have a little little home cooking. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:29.600 Uh. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.880 Yeah, it's just not a coincidence. There's another Brunson there 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.280 that's actually his daddy. But this is a big ass 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.440 But what if they can't get Brunson, what do they do? 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.640 What Bruns is like, sorry, dad, I love you, but 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.120 you saw what happened with Patrick Baldwin junior right when 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.560 he went to whatever school that was God his dad 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:53.000 fired in the process, his draft stock boomed kaboomed. Can 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.920 they go and get de Jontay Murray with some of 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.520 the whack ass pieces that they have and trade those 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.000 away and maybe have to move some first round picks 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.880 that they got they probably won't convey to San Antonio 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.920 M m I don't know that R. C. Buford is 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.320 doing that deal. I don't know if he's like he 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.280 will suss out that those trade that those pieces and 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.640 those those first round picks won't convey. He knows how 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:21.600 it all works. This could be an unmitigated disaster. It's 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:26.280 the Knicks. What do you expect? It's Madison Square Garden 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.679 and Dolan And I love Dolan. You guys know that 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:36.040 he's a good dude. Good dude Dolan. I always say 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:42.640 that JD. And he's also he's also a good guitarist. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.960 I've heard he does a good job. Moving on, Oka 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:51.080 see found a way to make moves like only Sam 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:56.040 Presty can. They picked Chad up at number two. They 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.240 traded up to get Uzman Jang at eleven. They didn't 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.760 have to give up two well to get Jang at eleven. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.760 Took another skinny big man who can play and can pass. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.240 He's six eleven, one hundred and ninety pounds, just like Chet. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.840 They should work out perfect together. They took Jalen Williams 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.200 from Santa Clara at twelve, another good kid who's moved 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.120 up the draft board. Then they took another Jalen Williams 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.600 two Jalen Williams, Yes, one with the al, one with 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.400 the A Y L. Yes, it's true. He played at Arkansas. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.640 The other one played at Santa Clara. It's true. Just 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.240 to full on kick ash draft for OKC to the 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.640 point where I say, are they my league past team? 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:46.480 I'm not sure, but it's close. Sga Giddy, Lou dort Chet, 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:53.680 Jalen Williams, Jalen Williams, A lot of them. Chatter that 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.240 they wanted to move up to seven. Didn't end up happening. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.800 Sam Presty still playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.960 ended up trading three first rounders to the Knicks, and 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.200 they were the three least valuable first round picks that 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.080 he has out of the nineteen that he has. And 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:21.600 they still have sixteen first rounders in the next six years. Blazers, fam, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:27.800 I don't know. Is it good? Is it bad? I 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.920 don't know. I haven't seen the kid play. No one 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.200 has seen Shaden Sharp play in the last twelve months. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.200 Shade Sharp has not played any competitive basketball in the 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.240 last year, but because of the way that these rules work, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.560 he was able to declare early for college come in 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.080 and the spring semester, thought about playing when's backcourt for 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:52.720 Kentucky was all banged up. Calipari mench move, don't do it. 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.000 You're only gonna hurt yourself in your draft stock. We 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.360 don't need this. They ended up getting bounced out the 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.960 first round. Calipari tie. The kid thinks he could be 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.240 a first round pick next year, number one overall pick. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:10.600 Next year. We took Shaden Sharp seven. What does that 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.480 mean for a team that says that they are contending 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.240 and building a contender around Dame in the immediate future, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.120 but we haven't seen him play basketball competitively in over 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.440 a year. I don't know. Does that mean he could 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.720 be a next superstar? Maybe? Am I patient with Shaden? 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:29.960 Absolutely is Dame patient with Shaden Sharp? I don't know. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.080 Here's the thing that's the big upside. You listen to 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.040 this guy, Shaden Sharp talk. He says, I think I 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.560 can be the best player to ever play basketball. I 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.000 what do I do? Since you don't have a comp 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.400 on me, you don't have a scouting report on me 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.280 because I've played no competitive basketball in twelve months. Well, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.840 let me tell you what I do. Straight line drives 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.560 to the rim. I play above the rim at all times. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.960 I'm long. He's six foot He's six foot five with 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.640 a seven foot wingspan, can shoot the three effectively, plays 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:04.320 very tough defense. He's skinny as hell. But if he 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.320 wasn't skinny as hell, who does that remind you of? 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:16.040 To me? Aunt Edwards? To me shades of brandon Ingram. 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.240 Can he be the next aunt Edwards? Can he be 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.760 the next BI? We're gonna have to see in the 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.080 midst of all this, Like I said, KDE rumors flying around. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.880 No one wants to make moves in the draft anymore 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.680 because they're like, we might need the cap space for KD. 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:37.600 What does that do? Creates more chaos. Memphis Grizzlies seemed 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.919 to be involved in half the draft picks in the 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.840 first round, ending up with Jake Lauravia and David Roddy 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:49.080 at the expense of d Anthony Melton. The Wizards did 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.080 everything that they could do to push Bradley Beale out 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:56.280 of DC Yeah, by drafting at ten instead of going 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.840 to get a veteran point guard with that number ten spot. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.960 It feels like this was an interesting choice given the 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.480 fact that Bradley Beal said that his number one priority 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:08.120 in terms of his free agency decision is winning. Can 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.600 a rookie point guard out of Wisconsin get you to 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.800 winning in your prime? Bradley Beal, even Bradley Beal, who 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.720 I know is delusional, who I know wants to make 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:21.280 this work in his heart, knows this is not the way. 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.879 If I was a betting woman, which I am, I 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.280 would bet that Bradley Beal is not happy right now 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.320 with Johnny Davis on this team. What does that mean 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:37.640 for his free agency status? Possibly deuces, Possibly deuces. San 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.760 Antonio Spurs continued. A lot of DC fans want him 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.240 out because he's gonna make sixty million. We'll have to see. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.879 San Antonio. Spurs continue to march to the beat of 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.560 their own drum. They do not give a fool about 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.119 what anybody thinks. That's why they took Josh Primo twenty 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.560 sloughts higher than anybody thought. That's why they started with 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.640 the Draymond clones in Jeremy Sohan, got better with Malachi 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.520 brand at twenty, who I loved. Then they ended up 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.160 getting Blake Wesley at twenty five. All of them were 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.119 way up the Spurs draft board, Brandon being pegged as 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:14.800 a mid lottery pick at one point. Interesting, interesting stuff. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:20.440 I cannot wait to see how this all ends up. 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.399 Do we have Matt mcewanon, Wow, what great timing. Amazing 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:32.520 timing here, So let's talk about it. So first and foremost, 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.560 yesterday we saw a series of unprecedenting swings in the 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.679 odds for who would go number one in the draft. 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.560 In the span of eight hours, Jabari Smith went from 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.280 negative ten thousand, which means for every dollar you bet, 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:51.560 you get back one penny, to plus three hundred to 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:56.879 plus three hundred, which means for every dollar you bet 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.439 bet you get back three dollars, and then it went 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.440 back down again. Eventual number one pick, Paolo ben Caro 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.280 was plus twenty two hundred, which means every dollar you 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.360 get back, you get every dollar you bet, you get 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.720 twenty two back. Ten days ago. Never seen anything like this. 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.320 Benedict Matherren love him. Ben Mathren maybe gonna be one 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.600 of the best players in the draft. Pacers took him 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:23.200 at number six. Snake this Jeremy Sohan spurs very interesting pickup. 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.679 I think he could become a more offensive shooting threat. 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.760 But like a Draymond Green. Loved Jake Laavia and that 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.720 pick Grizzlies took him at nineteen. He's a dog. He 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.800 fits in with what they want to do. Absolutely, Max 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.159 Christy on the Lakers number thirty five. Quick little story. 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.160 Lakers targeted Andrew Nemhard, but he went number thirty one, 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.560 so they were very, very happy to get Christy in 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.960 this spot. Probably ranked in the twenties on many draft boards, 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.040 basically a better version of thht. Lakers also ended up 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:56.439 getting Scottie Pippen Junior and Sharif O'Neill. Interesting pedigree of 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.960 names there, and then the Pelicans end up getting EJ. 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.720 Ladell at forty one. Is he gonna be this? This 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.200 Ayu de soon move version like somebody who slipped in 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.000 the draft probably should have been a number one pick 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.119 or number first round pick. I'm not sure, but it 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.800 could be who I think is Suskeek and Murray. He's 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:16.560 a diet Wish version of Kyle Kuzma. I think he's 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:20.399 an absolute dream if he becomes Kyle Kuzma. And I 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.760 put this out there because the Kings have been atrocious 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:24.760 in their draft history. This is a team that took 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.280 Marvin Bagley at two, Luca went three, took Thomas Robinson 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:31.840 f five, Dame went six, jimmerferdn At ted ten, Clay 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.399 Win eleven. So the Kings don't get any benefit of 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.720 the doubt from me at all. When Keegan is a 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.400 nice piece, that's fine. But Jaden Ivy was the guy 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:44.439 that everybody said will will make an impact now, and 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.600 the Kings are gonna get murdered for this pick. I 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.280 also am a little suspect on Dyson Daniels, a little 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:52.840 suspect on Uzman Jang. We'll break that down the next 0:21:52.840 --> 0:22:09.920 teak mq andon. Wow, what great timing. Amazing timing here, 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:15.760 So let's talk about it. So first and foremost, yesterday 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:18.600 we saw a series of unprecedenting swings in the odds 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.000 for who would go number one in the draft. In 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.760 the span of eight hours, Jabari Smith went from negative 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:28.399 ten thousand, which means for every dollar you bet you 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:35.280 get back one penny, to plus three hundred to plus 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:40.000 three hundred, which means for every dollar you bet bet 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.280 you get back three dollars, and then it went back 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.439 down again. Eventual number one pick PLO Ben Carol was 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.160 plus twenty two hundred, which means every dollar you get 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.320 back you get every dollar you bet you get twenty 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.480 two back ten days ago. Never seen anything like this, 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.240 so to help us understand what all happened and how 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.399 it might affect future drafts as a league as a whole, 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:06.280 Please welcome Matt McEwan. Matt is editor in chief of 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:10.240 the Sports Betting Dime. He has been a friend of 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:14.480 a show for a long time now. He is also 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.480 he has created their futures trackers, score predictors and other 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.560 betting models. Welcome to the show, Matt. 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.080 He so much for having me. 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:26.560 Yeah, thanks for coming on. Man. It was what a 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:30.800 crazy time it is to be a sports betting person 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:35.600 in the business. I had people even that were people 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.639 that were newsbreakers who wanted to get my perspective in 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:42.239 terms of how this blew up on Twitter, you know, 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.440 not just gambling Twitter, but NBA Twitter. So I figured, 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:48.800 you know, for the people to get somebody on who 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.360 does this all the time and understands how markets move. 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:56.399 So I wanted to have you on explain to those 0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.680 maybe who don't bet or don't understand, you know, how 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:05.080 these things go, how we can get odds change so 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:10.280 rapidly and so wildly in such a short period of time, 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:14.160 and not just in one direction where everything goes and stays, 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.160 but then in every direction. 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:21.160 Yeah, so I'm interested all boils down to money. Right, 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:25.800 And these sports books they aren't you know, they're in 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:30.040 the betting industry, but they're not into making bets themselves. Right, 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:35.240 They're not sitting here saying, okay, we're okay if we're 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:35.920 you know, have. 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.040 This massive liability on Palo to go first. 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:45.920 Now, their job is to even the money up proportionally. 0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:46.360 Right. 0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.760 What they want is, again it's not necessarily an equal 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.320 amount of money on each side, but what they need 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.280 is a proportional amount of money on each side. 0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:55.520 Right. 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:58.560 And I say that because hey, if you got minus 0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:01.639 one ten odds on each side, sure you want equal 0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.800 money on each side. But when we're talking about something 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:07.760 like you just said there where Jabari Smith was minus 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:11.520 ten thousand, you know that's okay. You you you should 0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:14.520 have a lot more money on Jabari Smith than you 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.240 should have on anybody else. 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:16.720 At that point. 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:17.120 Right. 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.720 So you know this, this was just very interesting to 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.840 see the money flowing, right, And that's exactly what happened 0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:27.760 here was you know, and we live in this age 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.600
