25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: Impossible to predict the day after the draft, Skeet's no

26
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: way to possibly figure it out.

27
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,520

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: NBA Draft winners, losers, our favorite moments, all of that.

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: But first, we had a blockbuster deal go down on Thursday.

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: So let's quickly turn to the Southern lawyer.

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: We got all seals a train.

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do. The Wizards traded Russell Westbrook and some

43
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: second round picks in twenty twenty four and twenty twenty

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: eight to the Lakers for Kyle Kuzma. Contavious called well, Pope,

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: Montrez Harrel and the number twenty two overall pick, which

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: turned out to be Isaiah Jackson, and that got moved

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: to the Indiana Pacers. Early in the day, it was

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: reported that Harrow was going to opt into the final

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: year of that about ten million dollars contract in order

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: to make the books work for this deal. So here

51
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: we go task Westbrook in La with Ad and Lebron.

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: Are you a fan of this move from the Lakers side,

53
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: and then of course we'll talk about the Wizard side

54
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: of things too. What do you think?

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: Well, kind of like Andrew's feelings about producing this show,

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: I was a bit of a roller coaster and it

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: started high. This is Russell frickin Westbrook joining Lebron James.

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: Of course you gotta be excited. This is La He's

59
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: going home, the drama of it all. At the same time,

60
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: there's some downsides to this. So like positives, he replaces

61
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: Dennis Shruder. People will say, well, look, Dennis Hruder just

62
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: wasn't great for them. Dennis Ruder got the ball needed

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: to make a play in the playoffs. He couldn't do that.

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook should be able to do that. But on

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: the downside here. I just don't think Lebron and Russ

66
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: are gonna fit in the postseason. Think about all the

67
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: players that play around Lebron James throughout the years. Think

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: about fourth quarters in the playoffs. Has there been a

69
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: non shooter around him, a guy who couldn't shoot? Think

70
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: about it over the last decade. I can't think of one.

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Once you figured it out, you just played four shooters

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: around Lebron. It should be Lebron ad and a bunch

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: of guys that can shoot, so Lebron can just pick

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: apart the defense and those guys can fire away. And

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: I just worry because Russell Westbrook, as good as he is,

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: he is going to put up the numbers in the

77
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs, in

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: a playoff series, teams are just gonna lay off them.

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: It happened when the Lakers won the title. They beat

80
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: the Rockets and Russell Westbrook by just sagging off him.

81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: They weren't even guarding him whatsoever. So I think that

82
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: just hurts Lebron. I mean, these two guys, Lebron and Westbrook,

83
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: you kind of have to mold your team around them

84
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: in different ways. Westbrook has to play with shooters. Westbrook

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: has to have the ball, Lebron has to have shooters,

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: and now you're putting them on the same team when

87
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: they both need to have the ball. Anthony Davis also

88
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: has to have the ball. I just look at all

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs over the last four or five years ago,

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: and Rush just hasn't been a very good shooter. He's

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: gotten the numbers, but just look at the stats, he

92
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: just really has haven't been all that good. So the

93
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: regular season they should be fine, but I think there's

94
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: gonna be some problems here. They just get old. I mean,

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook's gonna be thirty three this year. Lebron is

96
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: going to be thirty fricking seven in December. That's pretty old.

97
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: Their depth is is a problem. Now you traded away

98
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: Kntavious called Weell Pope, who led the team in three

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: pointers when they won the championship last year. Kuzma, who

100
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: was a good role player, and Mantrez Harrald. You know,

101
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: combined with Shrewder that's third, fourth, fifth, and seventh in

102
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: minutes on this team. So who's playing around them? Alex Grusso,

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: tayl and Horton Tucker. They got half a team right now,

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: you kind of force Anthony Davis to play center like

105
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: all the freaking time now because you just you need

106
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: more space for Lebron and Russ because Russ is a

107
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 2: non shooter. So I think the regular season canna be fine.

108
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna they're gonna win a bunch of games. But

109
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: in the postseason, I hope it works for them because

110
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: I kind of want to see Russ lifting the Larry

111
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: O'Brien when it's all said and done, get his first one.

112
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: But those two dudes just don't seem to mix, even

113
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: though it's cool to see them smoking cigars together and

114
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: then being buddies. I just I don't know how it's

115
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: going to work in the playoffs.

116
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: You're skeptical, What about you, Trey.

117
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: I'm old enough to remember when Kyle Kuzma and Montrez

118
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 3: Harrel were traded for Buddy Heels earlier in the day,

119
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: and that seemed like a better fit to me, getting

120
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: the shooter out there and healed, the guys just gotta

121
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: jack it up. But obviously that didn't go through, And

122
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: you know, I think Tasks really nailed it here. This

123
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: to me is about preserving Lebron in the regular season.

124
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: But the fit is going to be very similar to

125
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: Lebron's first season with the Lakers, when they brought in

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: like what's his name, like Lance Stevenson. Right, They're like,

127
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: we need extra creators here, so Lebron doesn't have to

128
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: do anything. He had the first big injury of his

129
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: career this last season, so clearly he wants to be

130
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 3: ready and rare and when it's playoff time. As we saw,

131
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 3: the Lakers just had too much on their plate for

132
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: Lebron and ad over the course of the season. When

133
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: they both went down with injuries, things fell off. The

134
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: thing you got to love about Westbrook is during the

135
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: regular season, he's bringing the intensity in the effort every

136
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: single night. Even when the Lakers were balling last year,

137
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 3: the first half of the season was like they would

138
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: slack for three quarters of the game, turn it on

139
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter to win. That's a stressful way

140
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: to play, and it played out over the season they

141
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: couldn't keep it up. So this gives them the night

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: to night energy that is going to elevate them during

143
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: the regular season and save Lebron. I think we're gonna

144
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: be looking at Lebron's best three point shooting season of

145
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: his career. He's gonna be one of the shooters on

146
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: the Lakers. His percentages are going up as his career

147
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: goes on. He made the most three pointers per game

148
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: last year, and I think we'll see a little bit

149
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: more of that as he saves himself during the regular season.

150
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: And we also just saw the Bucks win a championship

151
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: game six. They made six to three pointers. You can

152
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: find shooters. Eventually, every shooter is gonna want to play

153
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: with Wesbrook and Lebron James. So I think that they

154
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: will sort that out out over the course of the offseason.

155
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: But it's gonna look weird, and when it looks bad,

156
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: it's gonna look really bad.

157
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: I think, Oh yeah, though, I can't wait for the

158
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Lakers to get Wayne Ellington on the roster. This man,

159
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: he's coming to LA for sure. Yeah. I think I

160
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: saw a Pelton write with that whole three point shooting

161
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: that you guys are talking about. Lebron's the only Lakers

162
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: player under contract for next season that hit one hundred

163
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: threes because Kuzma's gone and Caldwell Pope has gone. Both

164
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: of those guys had one hundred and thirty seven and

165
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty med threes respectively. And yeah, Westbrook

166
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: is is not a three point shooter. That's not breaking news.

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: He's he's great in transition. He's totally fine as a

168
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: as a playmaker. Of course, still we saw him, you know,

169
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: work well enough with Harden, so you know, two ball

170
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: dominant guys. But yeah, in a playoff series, I'm with you,

171
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: task It's like, wow, we know how teams are going

172
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: to play them. And can he turn into Rondo for

173
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: a postseason where Rondo suddenly couldn't miss three pointers? I'm skeptical.

174
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: I'm skeptical because he'll try. You know, Wes Russ is

175
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: going to take a couple early in the shot clocker

176
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: or late in the game. And my goodness, I can't

177
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: wait to see how Westbrook and Lebron, you know, the

178
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: barking back and forth. Does that occur here with this

179
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: team because they're both feisty and they of course, but

180
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: they both want to win. But they're not afraid of

181
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: each other in terms of like a pecking order or

182
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that. This is fascinating. There are reports, Andrew

183
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: that I saw from the La Times that the three

184
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: got together ad Lebron and Russen said, hey, of course,

185
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: like you know, let's let's do this together. And in

186
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: order to do it, ad reportedly said, well, I got

187
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: to play five, like you said tasks, like I got

188
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: to be the five on this squad. Really lean into that, Lebron,

189
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: I got to be the four. You know, I'll be

190
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: the power forward. Like if they truly embrace that and

191
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: these guys can stay healthy, which is the huge wild

192
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: card with all of this, all three of them, if

193
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: we're being honest, then maybe maybe if you get the

194
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: right pieces around them. But are you surprised with this?

195
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: Do you think they should have went with the healed route?

196
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: What do you think?

197
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

198
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 5: I think that should have gone with Buddy uh one.

199
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 5: Because Russ has never been on a team that wasn't

200
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 5: his team, Like eventually every single team becomes his. The

201
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: Rockets eventually became his. They traded Clinton Capella because they

202
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 5: didn't think he could play with Russ. He gets to Washington,

203
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 5: like that is clearly Russell Westbrook's team, like Bradley Bill

204
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 5: is like stepping back, Okay, you can have it like

205
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: this is your team. We're gonna play like a Westbrook team.

206
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 5: So now obviously you get to the Lakers with Lebron James,

207
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,239
Speaker 5: and it's it's still got to be Lebron James team, right, Yeah.

208
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know, he kind of shared it. He

209
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: kind of shared it with Harden and Houston. I worry

210
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: more about Anthony Davis, Like I think he is going

211
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: to share the ball with Lebron. I just worry about

212
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: a d kind of being the third guy. Be to

213
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: your point, he's been a one or one a guy

214
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: with Beal, with Harden, with Durant. Yeah, but he's going

215
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: to be a strict number three guy. That's that's a huge,

216
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: huge change for him now. Like maybe this is part

217
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: of the buddy pun but maybe him being buddies with

218
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: Lebron and Ad just kind of, you know, I don't know,

219
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: makes him believe that he can, you know, be more

220
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: of a supporting player. It's just it's just strange to

221
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: think that Russ can ever be that kind of guy.

222
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: And then the whole hell thing. There will be a

223
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 2: drop off one day for Russell Westbrook, And we kind

224
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: of saw at the beginning of last year he was

225
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: not very good for a couple months and it felt

226
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: like Russell Westbrook might be hitting that cliff here because

227
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: it is going to come at some point. But then

228
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 2: he turned it on like he did the year before.

229
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: Kudos to him. He played great the last couple months,

230
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: But now we're asking him to be that guy who

231
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 2: plays a lot during the regular season and then still

232
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: be great in the playoffs when he hasn't been able

233
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 2: to put those two things together over the last few years.

234
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: So that's the strange part to me. It's going to

235
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: be a really top heavy team. Yeah, they're going to

236
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: find shooters, but they're going to rely on those guys

237
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: a lot, and you're going to tell Anthony Davis you

238
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: got to play a more difficult position more minutes. And

239
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: then Lebron has also been hurt, so you're really relying

240
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 2: on stuff that just hasn't happened the last few years.

241
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: And yeah, as Andrew pointing out Russ to take on

242
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: a whole new role with this.

243
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: Team, Yeah, and you said, like, I get what your

244
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: your point is, like making Westbrook into more of a

245
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: supporting player, but they just traded three supporting players for

246
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook to really not be that I assume to be,

247
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, the Westbrook star that we have, but he

248
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: does sort of need to take a little bit of

249
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: a back seat. And the other thing is like he

250
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: doesn't play defense at all. He's not good defensively.

251
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the Lakers that right, Like the Lakers last year,

252
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: the last the last NBA champions have had good defenses

253
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: and shoot a ton of lamps. I think that's gonna

254
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: be the case for the Lakers, right Like Davis isn't

255
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: gonna just become a three point shooter. Lebron's not just

256
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: going to become a three point shooter. Westbrook. You don't

257
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: want him to be a three point shooter. They're gonna

258
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 3: be living at the rim playing defense, and the other

259
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: guys they find are just gonna have to make threes

260
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: and stick their guy defensively. I mean, it's gonna be

261
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: so strange. The first half of the season is going

262
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: to be really awkward for the Lakers. They'll probably come

263
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: out of the gate and not looking great because that's

264
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: how it is with Russell Westbrook. We saw that with

265
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: the Rockets, we saw that with the Wizards. He kind

266
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 3: of takes a back seat to start, and then you

267
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: got to figure out a way to really get him

268
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: involved in your team. But I don't know, it's just like, Yeah,

269
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: wins start at the rim, and I think that everybody

270
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: understands that, and that's clearly what the Lakers are focused

271
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: on here. How do you stop a Lebron ad pick

272
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: and roll? People don't really know that yet. Now you're

273
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: throwing in a Westbrook and Ad pick and roll. Maybe

274
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: a Westbrook and Lebron pick and roll. There's a lot

275
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: of options the Lakers have, and you know, when it

276
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 3: comes down to it in the playoffs, you play like

277
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: six or seven guys anyways when it really matters. So

278
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: they only got to find a couple here.

279
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: They only have four guys right now, but they only

280
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: got to get a couple of boys.

281
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: All right, Lee Ellis's flying there. They need shooters. That's

282
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: where he is right now in LA. But I don't know.

283
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: I'm more confident than some people, just because I think

284
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: that Lebron tends to be able to mold his talent

285
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 3: to what his teams need. Sometimes it's a post up guy,

286
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: sometimes it's a three point shooter.

287
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: It'll be fascinating to watch.

288
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 2: Man.

289
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: Look, Andrew, you said you like the if you're the Lakers,

290
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: you would prefer a Buddy Heel, maybe because he's younger

291
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: obviously the shooting and all that, but you know, as

292
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: an NBA fan, this is this is what we is

293
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: what we want right Westbrook with Lebron and Ad to

294
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: see whether it like can work or blows up in

295
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: their faces spectacularly. I mean, it's just you can't write

296
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: this stuff. Westbrook going home to La like tass it.

297
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: It's it's the drama, man, it's the league never stops.

298
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 5: There's nothing cooler than Westbrook and like a purple and

299
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 5: gold Lakers jersey right now, I think like that is

300
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 5: gonna look amazing. And then plus like the idea of

301
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: potentially getting a Lakers Nets Finals like Katie and Russ

302
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 5: like at the back end of their careers. I mean,

303
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 5: who wouldn't want to watch that? So there's a lot

304
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 5: of juice to this trade certainly, Oh.

305
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, or yeah, Lebron versus Katie, and then you'd have

306
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: Harden versus Russ. I mean, you know, betwe and Prairie somehow. Yeah, yeah,

307
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: for sure. That's a long way away. And they got it.

308
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: They got to fill out this roster and they don't

309
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of work with so I'm fascinated to

310
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: see like who they get and who they try and

311
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: bring into this team, and whether they can remain in

312
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: elite defense, and again, how many games do these guys

313
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: even play like that's the huge ultimate wildcard to me,

314
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: especially with AD like, yeah, Lebron will take off a

315
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: week or two here, I'm sure, and that's fine. Westbrook

316
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: will in theory carry them, but ads like, if they

317
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: have a healthy ades top five player in the league,

318
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: and then wow, then you have a real chance to

319
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: win a title. But can't wait. Let's talk about the

320
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Wizard side of things. So task, what did you think

321
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: about their move in obviously shipping out Westbrook, the pieces

322
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: they got and reports that it's like pleasing Bradley Beal

323
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: and this is, you know, help a confidence boost in

324
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: them keeping him.

325
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm not quite as confident in that boost that you know,

326
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: people have implied Champs Roun. You're reported that sources say

327
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal it's feeling good, feeling like he wants to

328
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: stick around. I trust lialysis sources more than I do

329
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: in this instance, because well, because I think Bradley Beal

330
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: can flip real quick. I think that's pretty evident. And

331
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: the Wizards kind of did too. They got a number

332
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: twenty two pick in yesterday's draft as a part of

333
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: this package from LA And then they turned around and

334
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: they traded that pick for Aaron Holliday, who is a

335
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: role player in this league. But now you've just got

336
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: a crap ton of role players around Bradley Beal. So

337
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: how's Bradley Beal gonna feel? I don't know how Bradley

338
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: Beal will feel. Maybe his sources Bradley Beal d kind

339
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: of got everybody off his back. That's what I felt

340
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: like to me, that comment was just get off my back,

341
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: stop asking me these fricking questions. And then in a

342
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: couple months he can still demand a trade. I think

343
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: he'll just see how free agency goes. But in my mind,

344
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: looking at this team in the composition now, it's Bradley Beal.

345
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: Second best player is probably Ruy Achimura. They drafted Corey Kisbert,

346
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: another zag who can shoot that thing, Kyle Kuzma much

347
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: as Harold Damas, Burton's, Thomas Bryant and Danny Abdia. It's

348
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 2: a weird, you know, it's it's it's just a real

349
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: mor situation. Can you be excited about that? Mr?

350
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: Middle of the road nice man? I to know you

351
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: were programming AM radio in the nineteen nineties. I'm loving it.

352
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: Bring back the bullets. They got shooters. But I'm with you.

353
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: Task like you brought in case p Montrez, Harrold and

354
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: Kyle Kuzma. That's supposed to be more enticing than playing

355
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: next to all NBA Russell Westbrook. I'm not buying it.

356
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: What's the ceiling now for the Wizards? The eighth seed? Again,

357
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: do they get much better than that? This team might

358
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 3: make a little bit more sense. You know, Harold's gonna

359
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: be a great role guy, I think for for Bradley

360
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: bi if he ends up staying there in Washington. Obviously

361
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: they got the shooters out there as well. And you

362
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: got to give a little tip of the cap to

363
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: the GM because he turned John Wall's contract, maybe the

364
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 3: worst contract in the league in Russell Westbrook for one season.

365
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 3: He came in set the Wizard's triple double record literally

366
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: one year. And now he's out of there, and the

367
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: Wizards do have a little bit more flexibility here, which

368
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: is nice because you know, they just hired a first

369
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 3: time head coach. And while Beale may be saying the

370
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: right things now, who knows how this ends up going

371
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 3: and who knows if the Wizards actually take any sort

372
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: of a step forward. And if that's the case and

373
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: he does ask out, now you've got cap flexibility plus

374
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 3: whatever sort of return you get for a potential Beal trade.

375
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're probably not done making moves here and there's

376
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: more flexibility. Andrew, from the Wizard side of things, what

377
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: do you think, how would you grade it on getting

378
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: rid of Russell yesterday?

379
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this is like a C level trade.

380
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean because of the players coming back to Washington.

381
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean you basically, I mean Russ basically

382
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 5: said I want to be a Laker, and they'll say, hey,

383
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 5: we'll make that happen in whatever way is possible, and

384
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 5: we will take back whoever we have to take. And

385
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: I kind of hate that for them, Like that kind

386
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 5: of sucks. I don't I don't love the trade for them.

387
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 5: I don't love all these players. I think that I

388
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 5: don't know how much we would know about these players,

389
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 5: how much like casual fans would know about all these

390
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 5: players if they weren't Lakers, Like, how much would the

391
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 5: would the average fan know about like KCP and Kyle

392
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 5: Kuzma if they had just like a lot of Detroit

393
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: or something like that. So I don't love it for them.

394
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 5: I don't love it for bal Bill wants to be

395
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 5: loyal so badly to the Wizards and wants to say

396
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 5: so badly, but they haven't given them a ton of

397
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 5: reasons to want to stay, so I'm interested to see

398
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 5: how it works. I am also very skeptical.

399
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 1: I like it because they got off Westbrook, who's going

400
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: to be making forty seven million dollars next year, and

401
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: guess what, the Wizards are going to have the exact

402
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: same record that they had this past year. Fine good,

403
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: and you can lean into some of these younger guys

404
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: more hachamura avdya. You know, Bill's the big question mark.

405
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: If he ultimately decides I don't want to play with

406
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: these guys, then they will look to trade them and

407
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: they'll get something good in return to really blow it up.

408
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: But otherwise, if he's content, maybe even signs his extension

409
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: and surprises us all once again, which is there, then

410
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: it's okay. I mean, I don't think they're gonna win

411
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: a title by any means, but they weren't doing that

412
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: with Westbrook and Beeal, so I actually sort of like it.

413
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: Uh and uh, yeah, I'm fascinated to see a guy

414
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: like Kyle Kuzma on a team that's not the Lakers.

415
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: That's a that's a great point. Like he played really

416
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: hard for LA last year, actually played some defense, did

417
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: sort of the dirty work a little bit, which you

418
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: really don't think of, at least earlier in his career

419
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: that Kuzma would do. But he sort of turned into

420
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: that and found a little bit of role. But like,

421
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: guy can score, Like, could he be a could Kyle

422
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Kuzma score twenty points per game on a on a

423
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: team that's not in LA, that's not led by Lebron

424
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: and a d I sort of thinking He's.

425
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 3: Always scored twenty points per game on the tenth seed

426
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference.

427
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: Probably right, So yeah, basically already did that a couple

428
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: years ago. He scored nineteen per game.

429
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: With the Lakers.

430
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, pre Lebron, as as the number two guy that

431
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: Lebron that season. Okay, then sure, yeah he can, But

432
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: you know who does that mean that they're a good team?

433
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: You know, kuz is he's a streaky man. He proved

434
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: that he could be a role player on a championship team.

435
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: They got there, even though you know, people say he's overpaid,

436
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 2: his social media profiles maybe a little too big for

437
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: his skills or whatever. But he can help out on

438
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: a good team. I just think that, you know, the

439
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: last few years, Russell Westbrook's been traded three times, so

440
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: you go from a package that included Chris Paul in

441
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen to John Wall last year, to a bunch

442
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: of role players, which, yeah, the Wizards kind of picked

443
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: a direction here, but did they That's my that's my

444
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: sort of qualms with this thing. It's just they got

445
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: a draft pick, then they traded away, because you just

446
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: want the most role players possible, Like just called the

447
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: Washington role players. Like that's up and down the fricking roster. Like, yeah,

448
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: you get off Russell Westbrook's contract, which is good. But

449
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: I just hope that Russ I don't know, somehow has

450
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: just one year just decides to be amazing for one

451
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: more year because I worry. I worry about that cliff

452
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: and when it's gonna happen. Because even last year, people think,

453
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: oh yeah, he can get to the lane and get

454
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: to the rim. He stopped going to the rim a

455
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: lot when he got to the rim, he passed it off.

456
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: He took the fewest shots in both his regular season

457
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: and playoffs at the rim of his career, So I

458
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: don't know. I just I'm not feeling it for either.

459
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: So he's one of those rare trades. I'm usually I

460
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: usually buy into trades, but this one, I'm just like

461
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: it for both knock on a side. Pretty lucky.

462
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Hey, I'll tell you what, Montres Harrell is maybe the

463
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: biggest surprise of all of this, like opting into that

464
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: again just under a ten million dollar deal. He is

465
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: going to, I think, put up monster numbers for the

466
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: Wizards to try and get a payday. So watch for

467
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: him and the stats that he's gonna put up if

468
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: he gets a chance there in Washington, and he should.

469
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: I know, they got some other talented bigs and Gafford

470
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: and Hachimura and stuff like that, But that was just

471
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: perplexing a little bit to me. I didn't see that

472
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: part coming, like because he had to do this in

473
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: order to help them out, So you know, he's he's

474
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: is there a favorite? Is he going back to guy?

475
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Isn't he.

476
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: There?

477
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? Case the contract year, I think for him, I

478
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 2: think he looks at it and says, Oh, I'm going

479
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: to put up huge numbers, so here comes my big

480
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 2: bab contract. Yeah.

481
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: I think you're right. And he didn't have a good

482
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: year like this last year, and I don't know what

483
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: he would have been making more than ten million dollars.

484
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure he would have got that on the market,

485
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: but I don't think it would have been a huge

486
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: pay increase. So yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's going

487
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: to ball out. Uh, he's gonna get paid. I think

488
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. The Wizards are still going to be the seventh, eighth, ninth,

489
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: or tenth seed. I mean it is for sure in

490
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, for sure. I don't see how they

491
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't if they're all there and beal of course. Is

492
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: there any final thoughts on this? Wizards, Wizards, Lakers, trade Andrew,

493
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: anything that we're missing that you want to to address here?

494
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 5: Now I'm kind of with tasks grow a little gross gross.

495
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, tk anything skates.

496
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: You were saying that Westbrook's gonna look great in the

497
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 3: gold jerseys. What do you think about the purples? You know,

498
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: nobody ever photoshops a Lakers in purple uniform straight for

499
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: the gold baby.

500
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, Andrews said it here on the show. We

501
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: were talking about it right before we jumped on. Then

502
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I was excited because there are you

503
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: see the photoshops and there's actually a photo of Westbrook

504
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: wearing a gold Kobe Bryant jersey. I think that was

505
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: down in the bubble there that he was rocking that.

506
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: It looks awesome the gold Yeah, purple m and I'm

507
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: not as high on it. There's the reason you're not

508
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: seeing a photoshopped. They should just wear the gold ball

509
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: gold or whites on Sunday too. They still do that.

510
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, you can't tell anymore. Usually wear white

511
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: on the road.

512
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: Now.

513
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, And what's the other thing. A lot of people

514
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: are speculating that Demarred Rosen could also eventually head to

515
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: the Lakers, right. I think you would have to sign

516
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: a mid level extension, which is a mid level exception, sorry,

517
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: which would be a pretty low deal for DeMar De

518
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: Rows and have to being pretty solid with the Spurs.

519
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: But you know, if he wants to challenge for a championship,

520
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: that's a place that people are going to be looking at.

521
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: Obviously he's not a shooter at all. That would be

522
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 3: another strange fit, another guy who just wants to shoot

523
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: layups in eighteen footers. But you know, talent is talent.

524
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: I suppose can't wait to see if it works and

525
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: how it works. And yeah, these teams are probably not done,

526
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: both the Lakers and the Wizards in terms of who

527
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: they acquire and the moves that they possibly make in

528
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: terms of flipping other guys. Okay, we'll call it there

529
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: for the Westbrook to the Lakers trade. Amazing stuff the

530
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: NBA always delivers. We're going to take a break and

531
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll do our NBA Draft recap,

532
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: winners and losers. Well back with no dunks. Let's get

533
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: into our NBA draft recap. First things first. If I

534
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: mess up some players' names, if we mess up some players' names,

535
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: apologies to those players, Apologies to those fans of those players.

536
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: We are still learning here. We'll figure them out, don't

537
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: you worry. And if we don't touch on your favorite

538
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: team or your favorite prospect or whatever, apologies for that

539
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: as well. We're not going through this one by one. Okay,

540
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: this isn't a it's not gonna be that boring. So

541
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get to everything. I just wanted to

542
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: get that out of the way. First. Look, that's boring.

543
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it is.

544
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 2: Sorry.

545
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: We're not making a boring Yeah.

546
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: No, we're just not. So though, our first question about

547
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: the NBA Draft is the biggest winner. We'll do winners, losers,

548
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: favorite moments and stuff like that, and I'll get it started.

549
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: Because there is no doubt, guys, I think you would

550
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: all agree with me that the biggest winner from last

551
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: night's draft was our very own Lee Ellis, who is

552
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: the new Woch, He is the new Champs. If you

553
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: didn't join us yesterday for our great podcast with John Hollinger.

554
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: At the end of the show, I'm talking like the

555
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: final minute of the podcast, Leley suddenly gets a DM

556
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: and says, hey, guys, I got a scoop. So again,

557
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: if you missed it, we're gonna play it here. Here's

558
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: Lee Ellis on yesterday's podcast calling a shot.

559
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 6: Love it all right, just before we go go, just

560
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 6: before we get you tonight it's the draft, and obviously

561
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 6: tonight it's all about words. She's not allowed to tip

562
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 6: the pick, so you know that because he's at ESPN,

563
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: but of course he does. The layser in and focused

564
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 6: on and hard to resist.

565
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Just kick his ass anyway.

566
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 6: Right, Well, just as the show's been happening, I've actually

567
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 6: got someone in my d M saying Josh Giddy is

568
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 6: apparently going to be taking number six by the thunder tonight.

569
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: Apparently they've been super Andrew, come on back, he.

570
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: Listen.

571
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: I know, I know this is my only if it

572
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 6: goes wrong, if I get it wrong, Okay, fine, I'll

573
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 6: never I'll never have another tip again. But this I

574
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 6: can say that. I only bring this up because the

575
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 6: person who's coming from him like, yeah, extremely reliable source. Yeah,

576
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 6: so no, it's not people are Apparently apparently the head

577
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 6: coach and owner were at his workout on Tuesday and

578
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 6: were super impressed from him. Two assistance.

579
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the man did it. He called it

580
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: there is austro damis he nailed it. It's unbelievable. I

581
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: was losing my mind laughing hysterically. That Lee's you know,

582
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: secret DM there on Instagram ended up being right with

583
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: Josh Giddy going to OKAC at number six called it

584
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: is the winner of the draft. It made the draft

585
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: exciting to me. I actually usually hate the draft. I

586
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: was like a mullin Lee Ellis is getting his multiple

587
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: sources there down in Australia. I guess every Australian knows

588
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: each other, that is true. And he got this one

589
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: right TK.

590
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: He called it YEP, and apparently he's retired. He said

591
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: he's one for one dipping out. Now, maybe we'll be

592
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 3: able to get him back if there's another Australian prospect

593
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: who happens to have a father that Lee watched play

594
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand years ago in Australia. I don't know

595
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: who his sources are, but every Australian knows every Australian

596
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: who has played basketball down there, and apparently they're passing

597
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: word along and it's very accurate.

598
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: Usually I would think guacamole is Leeli's favorite sauce, but

599
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: now his new favorite sauce is this guy whoever sent

600
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: him a DM. I'm just happy finally once all for

601
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: what for once? This checking of a phone during the Yeah,

602
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: you're right, yeah, because because you know at he's really

603
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: good at while we're working here, while we're doing a show,

604
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: even even you know, ten to fifteen minutes left, he's like,

605
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: all right, I'm just gonna send tomorrow's Google doc for

606
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: the show during the show, so he's uh, he's occupied,

607
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: but this worked out. I'm happy that this actually paid off.

608
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: That's amazing. I know that guacamole isn't a sauce everybody,

609
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: of course, I wouldn't call it a sauce, but it's

610
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: a freaking sauce.

611
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: I check it.

612
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, Andrew, I think you said you were at

613
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: a Were you at a draft party like a viewing

614
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: party last time? In Okay?

615
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 5: We had a down to dunk draft party last night.

616
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: Okay. The crowd called Josh giddy at number six to

617
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: your team.

618
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 5: People are very excited. Lots of people patting me on

619
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 5: the back like Lee did it.

620
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 2: Can't believe Lee did it.

621
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's incredible. It really is incredibly He's one

622
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: for one and there was actually two things correct in

623
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: that little clip we paid played from yesterday's show. I

624
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: also said Chums was going to kick Woja's ass. I

625
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: think he took Carol business there last night when it

626
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: came to uh teasing the picks in advance. But anyway,

627
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: I had to have some fun there. Lee will be

628
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: back on Monday. I'm sure we'll get some gloating in

629
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: with him nailing that pick there, giddy too. Okay, see,

630
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: but Trey biggest winner of the draft. Now that we've

631
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: had some fun with Lee's prediction there, who are you

632
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: giving it to?

633
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: Well?

634
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 3: I got to give a quick tip of the cap

635
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: to the Chicago Bulls drafting Io Dawson new from Illinois,

636
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: a Chicago born player, the first one and the only

637
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: other one since nineteen eighty five besides Derek Rose for

638
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bulls. You know, I was happy to see that.

639
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: Skeet's also happy to see Beck back guys named Trey.

640
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: In the taft.

641
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: Oh, but I'm not reaching too far from my winners here.

642
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: First winner the Detroit Pistons. They picked the best player

643
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: in the draft at number one, after some debate that

644
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: maybe they could go for a trade trade down and

645
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: get another guy who's really good. But they took the

646
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: number one guy with the number one pick. They got

647
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: a stud. Caid Cunningham wants to put Detroit back on

648
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: the map. He said after the draft last night, We're

649
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: gonna restore the Pistons and bring that greatness back to Detroit.

650
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: He's instantly the face of the franchise, and it looks

651
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: like he's really gonna be thriving there. He showed up

652
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: with Cardier Buffs for his interviews, a Detroit staple. It

653
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: appears he already has a nickname, Motorcade. I will personally

654
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: be saying American muscle when we refer to him because

655
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: of too fast to curious. Nonetheless, Motorcade is good. It

656
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 3: feels like the beginning of a new era for the Pistons.

657
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: They had a solid season last year. You know, the

658
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: team wasn't that great, but Jeremy Grant turned out to

659
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: be a nice signing for the team. Their rookies all

660
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: look pretty solid, and now they've got a guy who's

661
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: getting compared to Grant Hill a great Detroit Piston. So

662
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: I'm loving that and also my second winner, not reaching

663
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 3: any further Skeets the Rockets. They picked Jalen Green at

664
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 3: number two. That was a guy that was a potential

665
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: number one pick as well. They cashed in a couple

666
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: of their picks. Got Alperin Shengun, who was mocked very

667
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: high and they got him at sixteen, and then they

668
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: added Usman Garuba a little bit later there. I think

669
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: Sam Vaccini said those three were in his top eleven

670
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: on his big board, and the Rockets got all of them. So,

671
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 3: you know, Green looks like he could be a star.

672
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: Sheng Gun. They're saying, the guy could challenge for Rookie

673
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: of the Year this year, perhaps a twenty point per

674
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: game scorer. And Garuba maybe the best defender in the draft.

675
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: Pretty good, yeah for Rafaelstone.

676
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if you were following along with Hollinger

677
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: and his sort of live reactions to the draft on

678
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: the Athletic last night, go to the Athletic dot com

679
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: slash noeunks, get yourself a subscription if you don't have one. Yeah,

680
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: he just kept saying, Shechen goud Chen good, Chen good.

681
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: Why why aren't these teams take them? There are a

682
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of people very very high on the Turkish kid.

683
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see. I think you're right, though, you're

684
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: just not overthinking it. Piston's Rockets won two, and then

685
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: especially the other picks of the Rockets managed to pull

686
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: off there last night. Big winners. I see them on

687
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people's lists. What about you, tass, who's

688
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: your big winner from the draft last night?

689
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I was following along too on the Athletics

690
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: live blog. I just got to mention that a lot

691
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: of people complaining about the TV broadcast. Stop talking about

692
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: tweets and Twitter and your apps. I really enjoyed the

693
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: Athletic Live block. I mean the app, this is, this

694
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: is this isn't just company man here, I don't know,

695
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: it's the app just really improved the live block. Fat

696
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: because the frickin' draft is long, even if even if

697
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: it's the shortest of the major drafts, just like basketball

698
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: is the shortest of the major sports. I mean, they're

699
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: firing through. Like Cunningham came up, Bang made the pick,

700
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: Rockets got up to the podium, They didn't take their

701
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: five minutes, Bang made the It was going pretty fast.

702
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: But you need some secondary screening, and I was doing

703
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: that with the Athletic. It was actually very nice to read.

704
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: Okay enough with the company talked similar to Trey Detroit. Yeah,

705
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: you got kind of him on the board, you freaking

706
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: take him. I think the Orlando Magic made the right

707
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: pick when Jalen Suggs fell to them at number five.

708
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: I know Raptors fans were very angry they didn't get

709
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: him at four, but let's just go to the Magic

710
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: here for a sec. Jalen Suggs made a lot of

711
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: big shots. I know nothing about college basketball, but the

712
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: guy can score. He also can set up guys. He

713
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: seems like, you know, one of those throwout the word winners.

714
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: He just makes basketball plays. He's good. Fourteen five and

715
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: almost five assists in college is pretty freaking special. So

716
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 2: they made the right pick there. Even though they've got

717
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 2: a ton of guards in Orlando. They've got Markel fullside

718
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: to a long term deal, They've got Cole Anthony. They

719
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 2: just picked the best player available, so they didn't screw up.

720
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: Your team isn't great, You're not drafting for fit. This

721
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: isn't the twenties you're drafting in here, So just draft

722
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: the best player available. Home run right there. And then

723
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: they had the Bulls pick sorry Tray that they acquired

724
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: in the Vucevich deal at number eight. Now, they could

725
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: have gone with Sangun as Trey was mentioning there, but

726
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: they went with Franz Wagner, who is a little brother

727
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: of Mo Wagner. Both played at Michigan. Franz he's a

728
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 2: beefy six y nine and I like this brother brother

729
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 2: combination here. If Moe re signs with Orlando, I know Skeets,

730
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: you tweeted, I had no idea Mo.

731
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: Wagner was on the Orlando totally forgot he finished the

732
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: season in Orlando, and they were not doing a good

733
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: job on the broadcast of at least reminding us of that.

734
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: I thought too, because I'm an NBA sicko and I forgotten.

735
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: Like you may want to tell, like, hey, his brother

736
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: is actually or was on the team. You're right, task

737
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: who knows if he'll be there, but you know, that's

738
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: a nice little anecdote to share. Would you not share

739
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: that for sure?

740
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think they just had still image of them

741
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: hanging out and you kind of had to. You had

742
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: to do the Mo math there to figure it out

743
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: on your own. They didn't ye spell it out for us,

744
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: Like you know, they do have some time to kill,

745
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: so they could have spelled that out. But he is

746
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: a free agent. But I do like, uh, this brother

747
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 2: brother pushing of each other. I'm not saying it's intakumpo

748
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: brother situation. They're winning the championship, but Mo makes front

749
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: of makes front of Franz on Twitter. He makes fun

750
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: of him saying, uh, I think Franz tweeted, I wonder

751
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: we're all end up tonight, and then Moe hit him

752
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 2: back and said, hopefully in a social media course, you're dummy,

753
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: you know. So it's some good stuff there. And if

754
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 2: you watch Mo, if you're watching Mo play for Germany

755
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: right now, I know Mo is sort of a he's

756
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: kind of an afterthought in the NBA right now, but

757
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: he's playing for Germany. He's balling, and he did some

758
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 2: work with the Magic last year. I think I think

759
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: they got a little combination there that is going to

760
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: be good for a while. Now. I always get excited

761
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: about one young team that hasn't really done anything, and

762
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 2: this is my team. I'm getting excited about Jonathan Isaac

763
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 2: and Terrence Ross and Wendell Carter and RJ. Hampton and

764
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 2: so I think they have some pieces. Now it's gonna

765
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: be hard to put it all together, but I think

766
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: it's it's a start of something. They picked an avenue

767
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: when they traded Vucevic, and they're rolling with it. Unlike

768
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: the Wizards, they're going with it. So I think they

769
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: they had a good night.

770
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: Anyway, How shocked were you Andrew that the Raptors, you know,

771
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: I don't want to say passed, but ultimately went with

772
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: Barnes over Suggs, who most people thought was gonna go

773
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: to them at four. Although you know, Hollinger had talked

774
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: about Barnes, We've seen many other people say no, no, no,

775
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: you know Messaia and Bobby Webster in Toronto, they might,

776
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: they might grab them, and they ultimately did. But were

777
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: you were you shocked or you like, you know, you

778
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: could understand the reasoning.

779
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 5: I don't know that I was shocked because there was

780
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 5: like some smoke there that they really did like Scottie Barnes.

781
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 5: But the fit with Jalen Suggs just makes so much sense.

782
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 5: I think, like that's probably why Raptors fans are upset

783
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 5: like this, you lose Kyle Lowry if he's gonna if

784
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 5: he is indeed gone this offseason to talk about about

785
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 5: the fit with Jalen Soggs and Fred van vliet is

786
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 5: like that's a nice fit, Like why wouldn't you take him?

787
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 5: And he's he's second if especially if you're like Sam

788
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 5: Vassini lovers, he's second on Sam Vassini's board, right, like

789
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 5: Samasini thinks this guy's got like the second highest ceiling,

790
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 5: like he's gonna make an immediate impact. So yeah, I

791
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 5: was I was a little surprised to see them actually

792
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 5: do it. It's it's pretty ballsy.

793
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. In my mind immediately went to something that Hollinger

794
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: was saying on the show yesterday. It was like, if

795
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: they sort of go the direction of Barnes, does that

796
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: mean that there is a Siakam deal in the works

797
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: and that they look to move him and to get

798
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 1: other pieces back. I don't know what you thought task

799
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: as a raps fan, that's what I started thinking, like that,

800
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: what this means? Obviously nothing has happened yet, and maybe

801
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't. Maybe they're just like, nope, We've got all

802
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: the wingspan on the wing that a team could want.

803
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: We made Og and Pascal Siakam into shooters because Scotty

804
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: Barnes like one, you know fault you can't shoot at all. Right,

805
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't proven that he can shoot, but we can

806
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: do a good job of turning him into that. And

807
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: he does everything else well because he's an incredible defender

808
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: and he's been of a playmaker. What do you think

809
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: with that pick? While we're while we're talking Barnes and

810
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: Sugs there at four or five.

811
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: I get the pain of not taking Suggs because they

812
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 2: kind of need you know, with all this length around them,

813
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: just the guy who can score it. Frankly, just put

814
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: it on the on the floor and score. And so

815
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: it so still feels like even though they got Scottie

816
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: Barnes and he's got a lot of potential, and it's

817
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 2: great to have a guy in the league that spells

818
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: Scotty s c O T T I E. That just

819
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: means you're freaking good, you got you, you've got potential.

820
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: If you've got you've got a Scotty with an Ie

821
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 2: feels like Pipp and they asked him about it, or

822
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: you're kind of you know, you're in the Scotty Pip

823
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: and mold your name's Scotty. He's like, yeah, I guess

824
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: hear me. I don't care. I know he's top fifty

825
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: or whatever, but he's he's got so much confidence and

826
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 2: I understand raptors fans just looking at him and thinking

827
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: and he doesn't have the ability to score, but just

828
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: watch the tape. I think he has touch. He is

829
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 2: not a shooter, but as you mentioned, some of those

830
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: guys that they've turned into shooters, and Og and Pascalum

831
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 2: what they did with Fred van Vliet as well, turning

832
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: him into an amazing player, and even further down the list,

833
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 2: I believe, and I'm excited to see kind of like

834
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 2: the experiment we see in the Lakers. Exciting. I mean,

835
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: if you've got like five Pascal siakams on the floor

836
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: with Sam and ogn Andobi and Scottie Barnes, that's pretty

837
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: cool to watch. So I guess they, as Andrew said,

838
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 2: maybe the ceiling is higher, the floor is probably lower.

839
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 2: But I just believe in the Raptors and the way

840
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 2: they develop players. So yeah, it's it's fascinating. But they

841
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 2: pick the bigger guy, the defensive guy, and even those

842
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 2: clips again to me of you know, a draft Nube

843
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: College Nube, I think he has touched. I think he

844
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: has footwork. I think he has that ability. So if

845
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: he gets a shooting coach and ability to develop him, yeah,

846
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: I do believe, Andrew.

847
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: What about you for an NBA draft winners or a

848
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: team a player, what do you got?

849
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 5: You know, the Hornets didn't have great position in this draft,

850
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 5: but I feel like they've they got some really nice players.

851
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 5: James book Night at eleven, he kind of fell to them.

852
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 5: He was what some people thought was a late riser

853
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 5: and he kind of ended up being where people thought

854
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 5: he would be about three weeks ago. So he's a

855
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 5: really nice score that they can put next to LaMelo.

856
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 5: They got Kay Jones, a big man that they can

857
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 5: develop alongside this young core. And they got J T.

858
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 2: Thor.

859
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's going to be any good,

860
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 5: but he's got the best name in the draft.

861
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: And I know we'll get to it in a second.

862
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: But got themselves a plumb dog millionaire too, with a

863
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: plumb then coming over in the trade from Detroit. You

864
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: know that could be. And I guess Cody Zeller's gone,

865
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: and you just say, you know, when you lose a Zeller,

866
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: you got to get a plumb plumb lee, right, TK,

867
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: that's what you do.

868
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 3: From a Zeller to a plumb He sounds about what

869
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 3: But again, Kai Jones as well, right, Because the Cornets,

870
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: they've got a ton of guards. That's why I was

871
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 3: a little surprised to see him take book night. It's

872
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 3: like you're drafting Aleak Monk again. Okay, fair enough, You've

873
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 3: got Davonte Graham as well there. Meanwhile, Lamela is gonna

874
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 3: be the main ball handler, and Gordon or Gordon Hayward

875
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 3: Gordon Hayward is your highest paid player. He's gonna need

876
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 3: to handle the ball a bit.

877
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 6: There.

878
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 3: There's a lot of duplication. They needed a big guy,

879
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 3: as they have for quite some time. So Kai Jones

880
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: a bit of a developmental player, but a crazy athlete.

881
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 3: And if he turns into anything, if he turns into

882
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 3: Nerlin's no weel. If he turns into Jackson Hayes, that

883
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: really helps him.

884
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: All all right, let's go to biggest loser from last night

885
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: and again, you know, look, we don't really know anything.

886
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything if we're being honest, but you got

887
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: to pick a team, uh to maybe sort of crap

888
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: on here a little bit, or at least to say,

889
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: whoa that was?

890
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: Weird?

891
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: Tass? Was there one that sticks out to you from

892
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: last night as a loser or at least a perplexing decision?

893
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could be a loser for making this loser

894
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 2: pick in a couple of years, because Davion Mitchell looks

895
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: like a winner. He played with Baylor, he won a

896
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: championship or they won it all. Nice little flex by

897
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 2: their coach coming on and having the trophy in the

898
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 2: background as he was talking about Davion Mitchell. But I

899
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: may be making a little bit of a reputation pick

900
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 2: here the Kangs, say the Kangs, But it was weird

901
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 2: if you follow it along with Davion Mitchell. And in

902
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: the media he was doing, he remarked about being surprised

903
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 2: that he was picked by the Kings, and they asked him,

904
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: did you work out for them? And he just kind

905
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 2: of said, I don't want to discuss that, and so

906
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 2: I'm just a little perplex See later on he did

907
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: say he came a little bit more clear about what happened.

908
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: But they do have Daron Fox, they do have Tyrese Halibert,

909
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 2: And I just said, you picked the best player available.

910
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: Maybe Davion Mitchell is the best player available, but he's

911
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: also old, an older player. And when you have a

912
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: graphic come up on ESPN that shows you, along with

913
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: Hafayel Abroujo boy, who the Raptors pick in two thousand

914
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: and four, I'm showing this here for the YouTubers. It's

915
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 2: the oldest guys amongst the top ten picks in the

916
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 2: last twenty drafts. And the guys are Hafa in two

917
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: thousand and four for the Raptors twenty three years of

918
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: age in three hundred and sixteen days. Didn't work out

919
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: at bay Udo. Good Dude didn't really work out twenty

920
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: three plus Wesley Johnson didn't really work out another good Dude.

921
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: And then Davion Mitchell I got this from our man,

922
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 2: Mike Kaplan, friend of the show. He showed this to

923
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: me because we had just been talking about Hafe l

924
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: Rouzo earlier in the week. You don't want to be

925
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 2: on that graphic whatsoever. So that's unfortunate. Unfortunate for the Kings.

926
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: They missed out on trading Buddy Healed as well earlier

927
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: in the day. So just that package of things, I'm

928
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: just not sure. Like we just talked about, you know,

929
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 2: the Turkish big man, why not throw him in there

930
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: with the Kings instead of a guard that duplicates of

931
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: a lot of their skill sets. I don't you know,

932
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 2: there's this league's going smaller, but that's super small. Yeah,

933
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure why the Kings made that pick.

934
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: Trey, What about you? Which team had you scratching your head?

935
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: Well, the Raptors did have me scratching my head a

936
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: little bit, but that's that's a potential loser. If sugs

937
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 3: ends up being a straight up baller, right. But for me,

938
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of losers out there. But I'm

939
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 3: gonna go with the Knicks just because it seemed like

940
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 3: they were gonna have a somewhat more exciting draft. You know,

941
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: Spike Lee was there, he was excited for a pick.

942
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 3: The Knicks had two late first rounders. Could have maybe

943
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 3: just waited getting some guys who slipped out of the lottery,

944
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 3: They could have packaged them together to get a higher pick. Instead,

945
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: they traded down, picked up a future first got a

946
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 3: guy named Quentin grind at number twenty five. I like that,

947
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 3: a very patient approach. Just didn't feel like the Knicks.

948
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 3: It's probably the smart move, and it's going to play

949
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 3: out fine to get you know, some sort of a

950
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 3: role player who maybe can help play defense and knock

951
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 3: down some threes late in the first round, but it

952
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 3: seemed like the Knicks, We're going to try something a

953
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: little bit more exciting in they just went out there

954
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 3: and looked like a normal basketball team, which has been

955
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 3: working out pretty well for New York lately. So honestly

956
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: the smart move, but we want to see the Knicks

957
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: do crazy stuff.

958
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: Man.

959
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 3: I feel like Leellis, that's.

960
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: What we want.

961
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 3: We want to do crazy things. But they played it cool. So,

962
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 3: you know, the buzz is always that the Knicks and

963
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 3: Leon Rose are just going to draft a CIA guy

964
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 3: from Kentucky. Did that happen? I don't think so.

965
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Andrew, what about you? Which team gets your you know, loser?

966
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: A little harsh, but a team that you were like,

967
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: come on, what are you guys doing? What are you thinking?

968
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: Talk me through this?

969
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't do the trade before the draft is what

970
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 5: I would say. And the Grizzlies did the trade before

971
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 5: the draft. There were rumors that they that they wanted

972
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 5: to get Josh Giddy at ten. That was kind of

973
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 5: broadcasted out there. The Thunder obviously one of him. Lee

974
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 5: Ellis knew that the Thunder wanted him at six. They

975
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 5: don't get their guy. They end up taking Xire Williams,

976
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 5: who possibly could have been available at seventeen. So you

977
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 5: take on all this salary, you trade who Valanciunis, who

978
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 5: was probably your best player all last season, to take

979
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 5: a guy who had a really truly awful season at

980
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 5: Stanford and was a really nice high school player. He's

981
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 5: got like great measurables, but there was no evidence of

982
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 5: him being a good player last year in college, and

983
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 5: so I think if you're a Grizzlies player, like the

984
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 5: excitement that led up to the draft was certainly mitigated

985
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 5: by the players that were taking before them and then

986
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 5: taking Xire Williams all the way up at ten.

987
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. What did you think of the Warriors

988
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: last night? Andrew, again as our sort of resident draft expert,

989
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: going keeping their picks first off at least right now,

990
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: and going with Kaminga and Moody as they're two.

991
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it. Those are two guys that I

992
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 5: think that they were talking about both at seven and

993
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 5: so to get those guys at seven and then at fourteen,

994
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 5: I was a little bit surprised to see Moody fall

995
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 5: as far as he did. I think it's great. I

996
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 5: think that Moody can play right away. Nobody has any

997
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 5: clue what Jonathan Kaminga will be as a pro, but

998
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 5: at least I think that he's won, at least today,

999
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 5: and if there is some kind of Beal trade or

1000
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 5: another trade that they want to make, he holds a

1001
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 5: ton of value just because he is such a mystery man.

1002
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 5: So I'm I'm all in favor of what they did,

1003
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 5: like they hold a ton of value today still because

1004
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 5: I think like the Davion Mitchell pick at nine is

1005
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 5: like okay, Like how much value is that for the

1006
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 5: ninth pick? Like, probably not a ton, but it holds

1007
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 5: a ton of value. These could be players that fit

1008
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 5: in with the Warriors and what they want to do.

1009
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 5: Both of them project as shooters and scores.

1010
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: I love it.

1011
00:48:58,719 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 5: I think it's great.

1012
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: And then just while we're still talking about some of

1013
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: these teams and guys, you're Oksey Thunder Like, I mean

1014
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: we we we made fun of Lee getting it right,

1015
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,479
Speaker 1: his sources being plugged in getting giddy, But you guys

1016
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: trade away to the sixteenth pick, Like was the fan

1017
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: base at this party you were at last night? Overall

1018
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: happy with the direction? You went on draft night a

1019
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 1: little confused? What was what was the vibe?

1020
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 5: It was way more confusion. I had way more people

1021
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 5: coming up to me saying, tell me how to feel.

1022
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 5: You know, it's like the sentiment, right, you know? And

1023
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 5: what would you tell them?

1024
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:35,479
Speaker 2: I said?

1025
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 5: The getting to future first for the sixteenth pick in

1026
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 5: the draft is kind of outrageous, right, I mean that

1027
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 5: never really happens. Often you can get a future first.

1028
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 5: Maybe you don't like who's there at sixteen, so you

1029
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 5: just kick the can down the road, but you get

1030
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 5: the chance to have two first round picks and the

1031
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 5: protections on there. Like people were freaking out about the

1032
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 5: protections like all those are fake first, Like they're not

1033
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 5: fake first, Like they got closer.

1034
00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 2: Look guys, right.

1035
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 5: I think that thunder fans and probably all the NBA

1036
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 5: fans that are kind of watching the Thunder now are like,

1037
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 5: when is enough going to be enough? Because the Thunder

1038
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 5: like they walk away with two guys from the first

1039
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 5: round and three future first like from Jack Knight, how

1040
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 5: that happened? I mean, it's it is unbelievable. But the

1041
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 5: truth is the Thunder are still like this is still

1042
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 5: step one for their rebuild, and they're still in asset

1043
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 5: accumulation mode. This is where they want to be. This

1044
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 5: is exactly where they want to be. They want to

1045
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 5: put themselves in position in the future to have as

1046
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 5: many options as possible. I'm sure they tried to trade up,

1047
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 5: and I think that thunder fans were kind of hoping

1048
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 5: that they would, but really, like credit to all five

1049
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 5: teams that did not trade with the thunder last night,

1050
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 5: because I think I think it's best that you just

1051
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 5: take a guy in the top five rather than take

1052
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 5: like a boatload of assets that are more of like

1053
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 5: like a like a mystery box, you know.

1054
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm good to know. Final question here and

1055
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: then we'll touch on some of the minor trades from histery.

1056
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: But there's always a fun one TK get a started.

1057
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: Favorite fit or moment from the draft last night? Where

1058
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: do you go? Oh?

1059
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 3: Easy? Winner for best dress for me James three, showing

1060
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 3: up in luxury ball Maine bell bottoms, dripping in jewelry.

1061
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 3: He had a lace shirt on, an incredible look. He

1062
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 3: said this was his backup outfit, looking like early Michael

1063
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 3: Jackson Jackson five era, off the Wall era, maybe a

1064
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 3: little bit like David Bowie. This to me is like

1065
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 3: an all time great draft fit, maybe the best one

1066
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 3: we've seen since Joa kiem Nola. I loved this look.

1067
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 3: It was so flashy, it was so different, and it

1068
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 3: really just kind of like harkens back to an arrow

1069
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 3: where players really went for it. I remember, like shake

1070
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 3: Gil just Alexander, he wore the crazy like floral embroidered

1071
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 3: suit and this to me was kind of like in

1072
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 3: the same sort of zone where you're like, this is

1073
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 3: an NBA draft, I'm really going for it. You know,

1074
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 3: players in general have gotten a little bit too well

1075
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 3: dressed to make any mistakes that stand out in the draft.

1076
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 3: But this is something we're going to remember forever, and

1077
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 3: I think it looks legitimately awesome. I think he had

1078
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 3: an incredible look that we haven't seen at the draft.

1079
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys, especially for Andrew

1080
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: because he probably watches this a lot more closely than

1081
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: I ever do. But was this the first time we

1082
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: ever had a catwalk at the draft, like them all

1083
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: coming out like that, like at the beginning, or did

1084
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: I miss that last year or the year prior or

1085
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: whenever we last did one of these.

1086
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 5: I don't think there has been.

1087
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't think we've done that right, like where the

1088
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: player comes out, they're sort of introduced with the family.

1089
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: I didn't mind it. Yeah, I watched the draft last

1090
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: night with Nora, my wife, who was like she was

1091
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: really into that part because it was like it was

1092
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: basically like an award show where I swear she only

1093
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: watches the Oscars or whatever. The Golden globes to see

1094
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: what everybody's wearing. I think that probably goes for a

1095
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: lot of people. So she was she was digging that.

1096
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if they'll keep that can't walk there, which

1097
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: I think is new for her first time. So anyway,

1098
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: I asked Nora who was the best dressed in your opinion?

1099
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 1: And she went with two guys that she was feeling

1100
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: one task. She's all in on Scottie Barnes charismatic. She says,

1101
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: he's got it in spades, and t K, I thought

1102
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: you would like the turtleneck as well. You're a fan

1103
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: of the turtleneck.

1104
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 3: So he went, I'm not a fan of this turtleneck.

1105
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 3: I okay, why it looks like he's wearing a necklace.

1106
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: Because of the color of it.

1107
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's white, and because you can kind of

1108
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 3: see through on the chest part of it. Not my

1109
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 3: favorite look.

1110
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well you disagree with Nora on that. And

1111
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: she was like, oh, this is a fantastic look. He's

1112
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: got the what do you call it? A broach? What

1113
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: do you didn't call these things that these guys are yeah, approach, Yeah,

1114
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: And then I like that she was a fan of

1115
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: Kai Jones with the pink. She said that the fit

1116
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: could be a lot better, which I could I would

1117
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: agree with, but was a fan of the color overall.

1118
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: She said, like you said, trailer, one of these guys

1119
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: going for it, like just like, well, I'm gonna try

1120
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: and be different, and uh, you know outside of like

1121
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham sort of played it pretty pretty chill and

1122
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: and and uh he had a great moment later on.

1123
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,959
Speaker 1: I think somebod's gonna bring up. But anyway, Uh, those

1124
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: were the two that I'll go with. I like the

1125
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: I like the turtleneck. I'm a fan of the turtle neck.

1126
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: I hear your your criticism of it, the color of it.

1127
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: I guess that you can see his chest through it.

1128
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: I didn't really didn't really even notice that.

1129
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: I thought.

1130
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 3: I was like, if you're just looking at the neck,

1131
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: it looks like a neck brace, because that's a that's

1132
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 3: a tall, very tall neck too. Like it's going up

1133
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 3: almost onto his jaw. I'd also shout out Jonathan kuminga

1134
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 3: rocking the orange suit last night. Yeah, looking like Lloyd

1135
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 3: Christmas out there.

1136
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he sort of is on him here, he's sort

1137
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: of showing up. Yeah, hilarious. Okay, I would think.

1138
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 2: I think Scottie Barnes, there's potential there because, yeah, the

1139
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: the bottom part of the turtle neck is is sheer.

1140
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 2: All we're seeing though, is just what you can see.

1141
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 2: But beyond the suit, I wonder if that's a sewn

1142
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 2: in garment to the actual.

1143
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a dicky?

1144
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 2: It's it's possible clip it on there. I think it

1145
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: looks great. It's unfortunate for him we're getting we're seeing

1146
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: this on YouTube here, you get the you get the

1147
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 2: full view. Really wrinkled pants. Oh yeah, you know, I've

1148
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 2: been there. Man, it is tough. He sat down, sat

1149
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 2: down all night. Look you look good. No one sees

1150
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 2: the wrinkle when you sit down and you get up

1151
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 2: and look at those things.

1152
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: Andrew, Uh, what about you? Do you have a favorite

1153
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: fit or moment from last night?

1154
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1155
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 5: I just think the Josh Giddy moment overall is perfect.

1156
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 5: You have the Lee Ellis element of it. You have

1157
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 5: the fact that an okay See blogger accidentally asked him

1158
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 5: if he pooped on his zoom call on Friday, So

1159
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 5: he is like officially like the poop guy here in

1160
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 5: Oklahoma City. And he's also know this story just you

1161
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 5: don't know the.

1162
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: Story from people that don't know, and tell the story

1163
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: really quick.

1164
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 2: I have no idea poop situation.

1165
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 5: So on a right, all all the draft guys did

1166
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 5: their zoom calls with reporters and people like that, and

1167
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 5: so and okay, Steve Blogger didn't know that his zoom

1168
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 5: microphone was on, and he's with his one year old

1169
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 5: son and you can hear him just clear his day saying,

1170
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 5: oh did you poop? And and he just giddy just

1171
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 5: stops and me like he's like and then he just

1172
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 5: keeps going. It was amazing. So I was I was

1173
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 5: this close to starting a poop guy chant at the

1174
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 5: draft party last night. So there's that. And then he

1175
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 5: is new age Thunder, Like the Thunder are drafting guys

1176
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 5: and bringing guys in that can all shoot, pass and dribble,

1177
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 5: guys that can all grab the ball off the rim

1178
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 5: and run. That's what they want. That's the kind of

1179
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 5: player that they want. And they continued that trend last

1180
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 5: night was taking Josh Giddy there you go.

1181
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,399
Speaker 3: What have you considered renaming your pot cast down to.

1182
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 5: Dump down to Well, we've had people that don't like

1183
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 5: us call us that, So yeah.

1184
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: We're reclaiming it right, tass take us home. Here a

1185
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: favorite fitter moment from last night.

1186
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, I would say that the NBA did it right

1187
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 2: when they made Terrence Clark an honorary draft pick in

1188
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 2: the middle of the draft. Terrence Clark declared for the

1189
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 2: draft this year and then a couple of days later

1190
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,479
Speaker 2: passed away in a car crash Kentucky. One year guy

1191
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: would have been drafted, and so heartbreaking for his family

1192
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 2: obviously to be there at the draft. But I think

1193
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 2: the the NBA did right by them by bringing them

1194
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 2: up and making Terrence Clark an honorary draft pick. So

1195
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 2: a very very very heartwarming moment and something that needed

1196
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 2: to be done in the NBA. I think did it

1197
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: pretty well and is such a frickin beacon of light.

1198
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 2: The smile even in the photos now you know, they

1199
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: still they still just get me every single time. He

1200
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 2: just seemed like such a great kid and at nineteen

1201
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 2: years old almost almost you know, achieved his dream. But

1202
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 2: in a way the NBA did did get him there.

1203
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: So it was very very difficult to watch that.

1204
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I with it. I think the NBA did

1205
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: a great job honoring him for sure. In the family

1206
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: getting them up on stage and stuff like that. Okay,

1207
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: let's well, I was gonna take a break, but you

1208
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: know what, let's just sort of quickly go through these

1209
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: trains that also happened, though. The one is interesting, the

1210
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: Son's getting Landry Shammitt, the Nets getting Devon Carter and

1211
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: the number twenty nine pick. Tass. You know, I don't

1212
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,479
Speaker 1: think we'll go super long on this, but what would

1213
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: you make of this Sun's Nets deal from either side?

1214
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 2: I think both teams win this trade. Javon Carter is

1215
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: a guy who's buried on the Sun's bench, never played

1216
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,439
Speaker 2: in the finals. I don't I don't know how many

1217
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 2: minutes he got throughout the postseason, but basically garbage minutes.

1218
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 2: But I think he would have actually helped the Nets

1219
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 2: a lot, just to you know, get Kevin Durant off

1220
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 2: the freaking ball a little bit. Now they do have

1221
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 2: Kyrie and they do have James Harden, but at the

1222
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: same time, you know, getting him a solid, solid, solid

1223
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 2: guy as well as the number twenty nine pick, who

1224
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 2: they got an offensive rebounding machine out of that number

1225
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 2: twenty nine pick. So I think those two guys will

1226
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: work well, really well off the bench and sham it. Yeah,

1227
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 2: we'll always have a role in this league as a shooter,

1228
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 2: and so you know, you could he could play with Campaign,

1229
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 2: he can play with anybody. So I think in a way,

1230
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 2: you got enough shooting in Brooklyn, so you trade Langie's chammitt,

1231
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 2: but you want somebody to be on the ball a

1232
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 2: little bit. Javon Carter helps out there.

1233
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: I love Juan Carter said just before. I think maybe

1234
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: we were talking about it last draft or and he

1235
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: got drafted. I was like, this guy's great, you know,

1236
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: he feel he just feels like the type of guy

1237
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna be on your team when you win a

1238
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: championship at some point, Like he'll be your you know,

1239
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: your second or third guard coming in there, and he

1240
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: can shoot.

1241
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 2: Again.

1242
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: He's like, there's a thirty three point shooter around like

1243
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Fourhigner attempts in the league. And of course he's known

1244
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: for defense. It makes sense. It fits Shamman. I'm with you,

1245
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,479
Speaker 1: he'll contribute on Phoenix. So this was a fine deal

1246
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: to me as a minor deal. TK anything to add

1247
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: to this one, No, I don't think so Andrew, what

1248
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: about you?

1249
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 5: Nope, they got Darren Sharp, who played with kid Cunningham

1250
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 5: in high school, so they just got another recruiting tool.

1251
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Get everybody, okay, okay.

1252
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 2: That was that was the twenty ninth pick because I

1253
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 2: just called him an offensive rebounding machine. I didn't even

1254
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 2: I didn't even know his name.

1255
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: It how far in did you watch last night? Tests?

1256
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Like when did you when do you call it?

1257
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 2: When about? There? About?

1258
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Okay, you almost went the full first round?

1259
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 2: When I can see when the first end of the

1260
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 2: first rounds on the horizon, I'm done, Okay. Yeah, although

1261
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 2: it's the shortest of the major draft second round all.

1262
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 3: Right, hey, only one night for the NBA. That's a

1263
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 3: good point, right, like every other sports league goes one

1264
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 3: hundred nights.

1265
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Trey, were you sticking around for the Bulls pick

1266
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: there in the second round?

1267
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 3: That's when I shout it down.

1268
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1269
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 3: The Olympics, they were showing the women's all around find

1270
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 3: out right, which had been clearly decided earlier in the day,

1271
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 3: so not as much intrigued there. So yeah, I had

1272
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 3: to stick around to see the Bulls draft the Chicago.

1273
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: And you're at a party, Andrew, how long does this

1274
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: thing go for? All the way through to the sixtieth pick,

1275
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: like real sickos.

1276
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 5: Yes, we had some real sickos sticking around for the

1277
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 5: whole thing, but most people left after the tray man

1278
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,919
Speaker 5: pick with just like like head down, shaking their head

1279
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 5: or just like shrugging walking out, you.

1280
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Know, all right. And some other deals. I'm just going

1281
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: to lump these all together.

1282
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 2: Tasks.

1283
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: You can address all of them or none of those

1284
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: you want. We had the Calves acquiring Ricky Rubio from

1285
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 1: the Wolves for Torrian Prince and a twenty twenty two

1286
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: second round pick. We had already said this one. The

1287
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Hornets getting Meson Plumley the thirty seventh pick in exchange

1288
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: the fifty seventh pick going to Detroit, and I believe

1289
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, there's that we had favors traded

1290
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: to Okay, see here this morning, cause Sam Presty, he

1291
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: can't help himself. So of all these other little minor deals,

1292
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: and then there's other ones in terms of pick swaps

1293
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But what stuck out to you task.

1294
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 2: Well, it just reminds me of teams messing up in

1295
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 2: free agency. Really, I'm looking forward to this next week

1296
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 2: and seeing, you know, what teams do because it was

1297
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 2: only a year ago. The Pistons signed Mason Plumbley and

1298
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 2: they got to trade him to the to the Hornets

1299
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 2: to get White. The Horns want to get white, as

1300
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 2: Trey said a little bit later, but they have to

1301
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: drop twenty picks to get rid of his contract. So

1302
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 2: that's it's just a sign that sometimes these contracts don't

1303
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: work out and you got to gotta get rid of

1304
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: real quick. Same with the Derek Favors scenario. You had

1305
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 2: to attach a first round pick to him to get

1306
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: rid of his contract after signing it just a year ago.

1307
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 2: So that's just that's just on my radar for next week. Right.

1308
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 2: These these are the types of contracts that you you

1309
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 2: don't want unless you're the Horns and you want to

1310
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 2: go white and you want to get Mason Plumley on

1311
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 2: your team. And then you know the Ricky Rubio thing.

1312
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 2: I initially felt bad for Ricky Rubio is such a

1313
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 2: good dude. Now he's on the Calves. But then I kinda,

1314
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 2: I kind of I gotta go the other way. I've asked,

1315
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 2: like the other way maybe maybe, uh, there's there's an

1316
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: All Star appearance there for Ricky Ruby the Eastern Conference.

1317
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy, crazy, but no, I.

1318
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 2: Know, but come on, come on, think this it's the

1319
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 2: East one two. Couldn't it be like a D'Angel Russell

1320
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 2: with the Nets situation where you know, this team overachieved

1321
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 2: and they picked their best player. Now it could be

1322
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Kevin Love or whatever. I think Colin Sexton is going

1323
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 2: to move on, but I think I think this team

1324
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 2: could be decent with Jared Allen and the pick yesterday.

1325
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 2: Like they they've got parts, They've got parts.

1326
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 3: Anyways, all their parts play the same positions, which is

1327
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 3: weird to me. That was the weird thing to me

1328
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 3: with this trade is like you drafted Evan Mobley when

1329
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 3: you're gonna be resigning Jared Allen or moving on from

1330
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 3: Jared Allen. Fine, that you gotta do the third pick

1331
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 3: in the draft. I'm a big Mobiley fan. He looks

1332
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 3: like he's going to be good. But they are bringing

1333
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 3: in Rubio, a point guard who could play alongside Sexton,

1334
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 3: He could play alongside Garland. But that then means you're

1335
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 3: taking one of those guys off the court. Does that

1336
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 3: mean Sexton is gone? Like are they just ready to

1337
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 3: move on from Sexton? If so, that's an all for Cleveland,

1338
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 3: I think because that was the last piece from the

1339
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving trade, right was getting that number eight pick.

1340
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 3: It turned into Colin Sexton. He made a run at

1341
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 3: the All Star Game last year, and they're ready to

1342
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 3: move on from him. It's just odd to me. I'm

1343
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 3: just kind of confused what Cleveland is doing. They have

1344
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 3: a lot of pieces there. It doesn't seem like they

1345
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 3: all necessarily fit together, but they're working on that point.

1346
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Evan Mobley think I get it and maybe

1347
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 2: can't play with Jared Allen, but they think he is

1348
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 2: Evan mobiley enough to play with them, and so maybe

1349
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 2: the four or five works out there. Maybe Listen, I

1350
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 2: don't know.

1351
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 3: Well, he's also so skinny right now too, so Mobile's

1352
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 3: probably fine playing the four for now. And like Jared Allen,

1353
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 3: he's good. He's going to be a solid player. I

1354
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 3: would have liked to see him on Team USA over

1355
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 3: JaVale McGee. But he also kind of feels like the

1356
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 3: guy that teams are going to move on from when

1357
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 3: they feel like they can upgrade.

1358
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 2: Quite a few times.

1359
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all of these minor deals were all motivated by

1360
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: money because from Minnesota side of things, with Rubio I mean,

1361
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: this was just cap management all. It was as simple

1362
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: as that. You know, Prince makes less than Rubio here

1363
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have like five million dollars in savings

1364
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: and there you go. That's why they're doing it. Yeah,

1365
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: him reunited with Kevin Love is a fun little twist there.

1366
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I saw people sharing the Slam magazine cover of Rubio

1367
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: in Love back in their world's days. I'd forgotten about

1368
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: that one, and I like, a guy named Prince playing

1369
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: in Minnesota just feels right, as others were pointing out

1370
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: as well. So yeah, yeah, minor deals and there'll be

1371
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot more of these, But good point on teams

1372
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: like signing these guys at times, task like with the

1373
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: Plumbley and going damn, oh, we gotta we gotta take

1374
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,919
Speaker 1: our loss here, and it's probably gonna cost us a pick,

1375
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: or at least a higher pick to get off of it.

1376
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: That's exactly what Detroit did. And I don't really blame them.

1377
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: I guess it was. It was bad at the time,

1378
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: and that's what everybody was saying. It's like, what are

1379
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: you doing? Why are you signing plumbly to all that money?

1380
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Jerry and Grant, Sure, that's fine, plumbly what but anyway,

1381
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: they moved on and the Hornet's got their guy, especially

1382
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: if Zeller moves on. Final news here, Actually, you know what,

1383
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: let's take a break Andrew. Then I'll get to this

1384
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: little bit of news and we'll do tweet of the night. Well, okay,

1385
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: back with no dunks, a little news just quickly. It's official.

1386
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: The NBA's milestone seventy fifth anniversary season will soon feature

1387
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 1: a list of the seventy five greatest players in league history. Yeah,

1388
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: we were talking about this. The announcement will occur this October,

1389
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: so we still got lots of time this summer to

1390
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: do our podcasts, make our own list, our twenty five editions.

1391
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: You know, Lee got us started already with I believe

1392
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: it was like his twelve automatic additions, and he raised

1393
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: a few eyebrows. I remember having Grant Hill and Dennis

1394
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Rodman like in there right away, and everyone's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Seriously,

1395
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: maybe a little reach on at least one of those guys.

1396
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll do that podcast later. According to the

1397
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: NBA press release, the storied list will be created by

1398
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: I Love This Part, a blue ribbon panel of media

1399
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: current and former players, coaches, general managers, and team executives.

1400
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: So anyway, this is fun news. We're going to get

1401
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: the list in October seventy five greatest players in NBA history,

1402
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: and then one would assume that they'll have them all

1403
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: out there on center court, maybe in leather jackets. Maybe

1404
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: not in Cleveland, which is the location of the twenty

1405
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: twenty two All Star Game, which is fitting because that's

1406
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: where we did the fifty Greatest Players of All Time

1407
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: back in ninety seven. So not much else to add

1408
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: to that. We will do ye list.

1409
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 3: Sorry, go ahead, Just two big questions, Skeates, you nailed

1410
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 3: one of them. Will they get the jackets at the

1411
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 3: All Star Game? My guess is yes, everybody wants to

1412
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 3: see them. They'll do something. And number two, is this

1413
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 3: going to be a completely new list of seventy fives

1414
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 3: or is it going to be an add twenty five

1415
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 3: to the current fifty, Like is Dave being in trouble

1416
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 3: of being dropped from the top seventy five list? Is

1417
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 3: Bill Sharmon gonna make it this time around? Because there's

1418
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 3: been a lot of very good players that you would

1419
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 3: put into the top seventy five. There's probably been more

1420
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 3: than twenty five players in the past twenty five years

1421
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 3: that you would add to the top seventy five all time.

1422
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, we shall see.

1423
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't see them doing basically what you're saying, yeah,

1424
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: is are they're going to take the fifty greatest players

1425
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: list and rip it up and we just start all

1426
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: over again seventy five. I'm I would like that, I guess,

1427
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: but I'm skeptical the NBA that task. I don't know

1428
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: if you have an opinion on it. I think we'll

1429
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: just be naming twenty five new guys making up for

1430
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: some of the glaring emissions from the first time, you know,

1431
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: Dominique Wilkins and so on, and then adding you know,

1432
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: the Lebron's and the Kobe's and stuff like that. But

1433
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Tk's right, Maybe they're crazy.

1434
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 3: What do you do in silver?

1435
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,759
Speaker 1: You got the balls to rip up the list?

1436
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be softed like Bill Charmon, rip it up, baby. No,

1437
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 2: there's no way. There's no way they just add twenty

1438
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 2: five guys. Now, they might go back and correct some

1439
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 2: of the guys that should have been on there, Like, yeah,

1440
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 2: Dominique Wilkins gets gets squeezed in there. But yeah, I don't.

1441
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 2: I think Bang's okay.

1442
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 3: Thanks, no, no, no, no, here we go. This is

1443
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 3: from Mark Stein last night. The NBA, i'm told, will

1444
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 3: release in all new top seventy five players when the

1445
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 3: list is unveiled in October, meaning that players listed among

1446
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,799
Speaker 3: the league's original top fifty revealed in nineteen ninety seven

1447
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 3: are not all automated a spot. Okay, seventy five, that

1448
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 3: list is already in the Hall of Fame. If you

1449
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 3: made that top fifty, you're still one of the top

1450
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 3: fifty players ever. Fifty years into the NBA. The game

1451
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 3: has changing, though.

1452
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, Bill, Wow, we got wow. Bill's gone Okay,

1453
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: that's I can't believe they're doing that. I like it.

1454
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: I mean that just and opens it up for even

1455
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: more debate. Of course, So the NBA's do a whole

1456
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: week of podcasts on this.

1457
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 2: Now.

1458
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: I thought we were just gonna have that twenty five guys.

1459
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,919
Speaker 1: Now we gonna do the complete seventy five. Oh jesus, Yeah.

1460
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 3: Forget Lee Ellis. We're getting Dicky Ellis on the podcast

1461
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,679
Speaker 3: to tell us which twelve players from the top fifty

1462
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 3: are automatically all Yeah.

1463
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: That's a good podcast. Which ten guys are we cutting instantly?

1464
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: Let's go all right, okay, good stuff. Wait to clarify

1465
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: that TK, all right, we're going along here. But let's

1466
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: wrap this up with a little tweet of the night.

1467
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 2: Feed up the night. Wow Twitt, Now, I hate hate

1468
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 2: mocking a fellow talker of the mic. I hate doing that. However,

1469
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 2: Kendrick Perkins when he was trying to say Moses Moody,

1470
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 2: the name is Moses Moody. It ain't that difficult. The

1471
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 2: number fourteen pick who went to Golden State guy from

1472
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 2: Arkansas selected and Kendrick Perkins on the on the broadcast

1473
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,839
Speaker 2: last night on ESPN just wanted to say Moses Moody.

1474
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 2: But this is how he put it.

1475
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 3: When you look at mody movie, Mody moves, Mody moving,

1476
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 3: Mody moveing, mody, Moses Moses.

1477
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 2: That's amazing that that really happened. Rhys Davis saves him

1478
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 2: at the end, and then Kendrick Perkins said, I can

1479
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,600
Speaker 2: say Moses Moody, but later on in the broadcast and

1480
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:05,839
Speaker 2: clarified it. But that was an amazing, like seven seconds

1481
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 2: of pure gold. Let's hear one more time, Andrew, when you.

1482
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 3: Look at Modi moving, Modi move, Mody moving, mody moving movie.

1483
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: Right after the second time he screwed it up.

1484
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 7: That's incredible, awesome a freestyle dropping every syllable in every

1485
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 7: possible combination.

1486
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: It was like, it's it's like the Dumb and Dumber

1487
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: skit where he's got the briefcase swimming swammy, I mean's

1488
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 1: doing he's doing the samson I joke from Dumb and Dumber.

1489
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: It felt like, uh, task, I'm curious, were you watching

1490
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: the ESPN broadcast or the ABC broadcast? I mean, Perk

1491
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: was on ESPN. Yeah, okay, you were watching that one.

1492
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't even realize we had rose we had

1493
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 2: uh but they were also on ESPN. Oh maybe I was.

1494
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 2: I was switching back and forth at times when I

1495
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 2: was watching the Apple TV and the feed would cut

1496
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 2: out because then I would just go back in. They're

1497
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 2: basically right beside each other. They look like they're identical

1498
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 2: because I was seeing Shane and Jalen as well. Yeah.

1499
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,799
Speaker 2: Oh so those are totally two separate too.

1500
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: Like I think the idea was the ABC one was

1501
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: more of the you know, video packages. Let's talk to

1502
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 1: the family, let's get that backstory. Where the ESPN was

1503
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: perk going on, and I guess supposed to be more

1504
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: like analytically driven, though I mean I was, I sort

1505
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: of went back and forth. Didn't seem to be the

1506
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: biggest difference between the two in terms of like the

1507
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: style of covering the draft tray. Is that fair to say?

1508
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you're getting a little bit more of

1509
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 3: the human interest. On the ABC broadcast, they were also

1510
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 3: coming through with one word traits. I think Josh Giddy's

1511
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 3: was X rayed vision. Wow, pretty impressive. I can see

1512
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 3: through people.

1513
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 2: I love it.

1514
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

1515
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, Giddy had maybe the worst fit of the night.

1516
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: I know, I don't have a photo in front of me.

1517
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: He was low on Nora's you know power rankings in

1518
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: terms of style, though, I was like, that's perfect. I

1519
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: mean he's an Australian. Have you seen Lee Ella's stress.

1520
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, uh, I'm got a suit. Throw

1521
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: this song. That's fine, good enough. He had some kicks

1522
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 1: going with it too, if I remember hilarious hilarious, Okay,

1523
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 1: we'll call it there. Lots of fun. Thanks to the

1524
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: stream team for joining us Live here. Big numbers here

1525
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:39,919
