Speaker 1: for the NBA trade deadline on Thursday are in So
Speaker 1: everybody tweeting us here this morning. From the Thursday, there
Speaker 1: were sixteen trades, twenty three teams involved in trades, which
Speaker 1: are pretty crazy, and forty six players on NBA rosters
Speaker 1: involved in those deals, a record in each category according
Speaker 1: to everyone. Yes, there you go, business trade deadline. Ever,
Speaker 1: look at this graph this early in the morning. You're crazy.
Speaker 3: So I always I was on what you need to
Speaker 3: know at seven am. JD is working at four am,
Speaker 3: five am, six am, and seven am. Good stuff, JD.
Speaker 1: JD put together those graphs.
Speaker 3: No, of course sure to give way thanks to Crumpled
Speaker 3: Jumper for those praps.
Speaker 5: Thanks pump Jump.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say, like, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: an official NBA trade deadline until we do a podcast
Speaker 1: doing NBA trade deadline winners and losers like that really
Speaker 1: wraps it up. So that's what we're doing here. We've
Speaker 1: of course had our sort of immediate live reactions to
Speaker 1: the trades yesterday afternoon. That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Did some record numbers there in terms of people tuning
Speaker 1: in live for that one. So go listen to that
Speaker 1: podcast or watch that, but trade deadline winners. Let's start
Speaker 1: being positive piets. We'll get to the losers. That's always
Speaker 1: fun too, Tray, where are you going?
Speaker 5: Are you going?
Speaker 1: Bulls? You just the Bulls are back? We all know that,
Speaker 1: but uh.
Speaker 4: Everyone knows yeah, But for today, I want somebody else
Speaker 4: to say it. So I basically forced Lee into taking
Speaker 4: the Bulls as a winner. He was trying not to,
Speaker 4: but that would have been a serious disservice to basketball
Speaker 4: fans everywhere if the Bulls were not included as a winner.
Speaker 4: That being said, I'm going for another Orlando Magic traded
Speaker 4: player the Nuggets, a big time winner of the trade
Speaker 4: dead line yesterday album Loving this Aaron Gordon move. And
Speaker 4: I'm not even the biggest Aaron Gordon fan as a player,
Speaker 4: but what he brings to the Nuggets, it's exactly what
Speaker 4: they need. The versatility on defense, a little bit of creation,
Speaker 4: and a whole bunch of athleticism. It's going to give
Speaker 4: the Nuggets a new wrinkle that they need. He's gonna
Speaker 4: be able to put pressure on the defense just by
Speaker 4: cutting to the basket, diving to the hoop on pick
Speaker 4: and rolls, and kind of just scrounging points. The Nuggets
Speaker 4: don't have a ton of super athletes, so I think
Speaker 4: that this really ups Denver's game in that regard. They've
Speaker 4: been by Michael Porter Junior in particular, has been thriving
Speaker 4: since playing the four. They seem to have figured out
Speaker 4: that they can play a little bit faster. Despite the
Speaker 4: fact that Jokic isn't a quick guy, it just seems
Speaker 4: to be working out, and I think that this super
Speaker 4: charges him even a little bit more great move. And
Speaker 4: the more I think about it, the less and less
Speaker 4: concerned I get about the issues with this trade. You know,
Speaker 4: I think Aaron Gordon is going to fall into being
Speaker 4: a role player because he's basically going to have to.
Speaker 4: There is a number one guy Thearon Denver, there's a
Speaker 4: number two guy in Denver, and there's a play of
Speaker 4: the future already in Denver. So the touches they're just
Speaker 4: not gonna be there necessarily for Aaron Gordon. And I
Speaker 4: think that that's gonna be fine. He's gonna be playing
Speaker 4: the most meaningful basketball he ever has. The second concern
Speaker 4: people have is that there's positional overlap between Aaron Gordon
Speaker 4: and Michael Porter Junior. They both seem to be the
Speaker 4: best at the fore position. But that, to me is
Speaker 4: a little bit of old positional thinking. Both of them
Speaker 4: are threes, both of them are fours. They fill the
Speaker 4: holes in each other's game. You know, Michael Porter Junior,
Speaker 4: he's gonna stretch the court, shoot score. Sometimes he can
Speaker 4: make an impact on the glass, being a little bit
Speaker 4: taller than Aaron Gordon. Whereas Aaron Gordon he's cutting, he's
Speaker 4: handling the ball, passing it, running. He's gonna guard the
Speaker 4: tougher wing guy, maybe the tougher stretch four. And it
Speaker 4: allows Michael Porter Junior to hide and play to his strengths,
Speaker 4: not to mention off the court. In the front office world,
Speaker 4: the Nuggets getting off an unfavorable contract and Gary Harris,
Speaker 4: they're getting to peep Aaron Gordon here for eighteen months.
Speaker 4: People are calling this an eighteen month rental. That's nice.
Speaker 4: His contract expires right when Michael Porter Junior could get
Speaker 4: his first big deal. Throwing the Javal McGee trade. I
Speaker 4: think that's a nice little bench upgrade as well. If
Speaker 4: there's no doubt the Nuggets are gonna miss Gary Harris's
Speaker 4: defense on guards, I wonder if they will be able
Speaker 4: to pick out some kind of defender on the buyout market.
Speaker 4: It's a little tough losing a first rounder after Jokic's
Speaker 4: contract has ended, but that's.
Speaker 5: A long time from now.
Speaker 4: You could win a title in the meantime, you could
Speaker 4: resign Jokic, you could get some picks back in a
Speaker 4: trade that first rounder in twenty twenty seven. It's a
Speaker 4: long waist from now, but I'm fine with it. So, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I thought what the Nuggets did was really really great stuff,
Speaker 4: especially considering the cost of what they actually ended up
Speaker 4: giving up. Yeah, they're losing a chance to see what RJ.
Speaker 4: Hampton becomes as a player. But the Nuggets have had
Speaker 4: so many good draft picks that they've been able to
Speaker 4: trade them and maximize the return for guys like Jancho
Speaker 4: Hernan Gomez, Malik Beasley, these guys who are clearly rotation
Speaker 4: players in the NBA. They just don't have a spot
Speaker 4: in Denver because there's too many good guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like the Nuggets were atop a lot
Speaker 1: of people's you know, trade deadline winners categories that I
Speaker 1: saw them in the mix. I've seen a lot of people,
Speaker 1: like you know, criticizing for what they did Lee. Are
Speaker 1: you more excited to see Yolkic pass to Aaron Gordon
Speaker 1: or Composo passes to Aaron Gordon?
Speaker 2: Which one is a wow, what a what a tough
Speaker 2: choice that one is to make there. But I just
Speaker 2: think if Aaron Gordon is smart, he would just run
Speaker 2: to the rim for the remainder of this season because
Speaker 2: they will find him. Both of those guys are incredible passes,
Speaker 2: and Aaron Gordon is super athletic. He's about six eight six',
Speaker 2: nine so you know he's a tall guy, anyway and
Speaker 2: that's what he can. Do that's how he can really
Speaker 2: sort of fill up his own statuet here by getting
Speaker 2: some easy points and increasing his value in showing people
Speaker 2: that he is a, potentially you, know a star player
Speaker 2: who has got lots to bring to a. Team and
Speaker 2: if he works hard and plays, defense you Know Mike
Speaker 2: malone's going to let him give him plenty more court.
Speaker 2: Time so you, know he may compete With Michael Porter
Speaker 2: junior to some degree for those, minutes Because Michael Porter
Speaker 2: junior isn't a great defensive, player but he's a more
Speaker 2: gifted shooter and probably scorer Than Aaron. Gordon but If
Speaker 2: Aaron gordon can use his experience and make those decisions
Speaker 2: difficult For Mike, malone then that's a good situation For.
Speaker 2: DENVER i, MEAN i like this on, PAPER i think
Speaker 2: this is a great move For, denver but we have
Speaker 2: to see what sort Of Aaron gordon they're getting in
Speaker 2: and whether or not he can be an immediately impactful
Speaker 2: player on that. Team if he, can this is The
Speaker 2: nuggets have. Improved if he, can't then they're sort of
Speaker 2: kind of where they. Are they haven't lost a whole
Speaker 2: lot given what they had to give up to Get
Speaker 2: Aaron gordon in.
Speaker 1: Return, yeah anything to add to that. TASK i, Mean
Speaker 1: i'm excited that people are going to See Aaron gordon
Speaker 1: play BECAUSE i imagine a lot of people are now actually
Speaker 1: watching The Orlando magic over the last couple of, years
Speaker 1: even when they got into the playoffs and really following
Speaker 1: Ag so you, know he'll get some nationally televised games
Speaker 1: here With denver and maybe into the playoffs if they go.
Speaker 1: Deep what do you think this From denver? Side your
Speaker 1: thumbs up on, it, Right, yeah it's.
Speaker 3: Exciting Aaron gordon is at the value or at the
Speaker 3: what they gave up for. Him is absolutely worth. It but,
Speaker 3: yeah the questions trade brought up really. Well, DEFENSIVELY i
Speaker 3: think is the biggest. Question who's going to Guards smalls
Speaker 3: on this. Team they've Got Jamal murray and most Likely
Speaker 3: Will barton starting in their backcourt along With Michael Port
Speaker 3: junior And Aaron. Gordon they're just gonna Be it's gonna
Speaker 3: be hard work chasing after little guys with that, lineup it's.
Speaker 6: Not gonna be.
Speaker 3: Fun And Aaron, gordon if he's gonna be in the
Speaker 3: mood to play, defense he's gonna help. Out but this
Speaker 3: team is a mediocre. Defense you're Trading Gary, harris who
Speaker 3: hopefully gets a restart In. ORLANDO i just wonder how
Speaker 3: good they're gonna be on that. End and you, know
Speaker 3: just sort of as a as a as a non
Speaker 3: basketball the thing a NON x is a. Hosting Is
Speaker 3: Aaron gordon just gonna love being a third option or
Speaker 3: a fourth? Option, really that's that's a big question. Mark
Speaker 3: And Michael Porter junior just got. Going he just found
Speaker 3: his flow in THE. Nba Now Aaron gordon is gonna
Speaker 3: take some of those, shots some of that shine and and,
Speaker 3: yeah this is a totally rejigged lineup, Now paul millsapp
Speaker 3: is gonna come off the bench very very, likely which
Speaker 3: he should be fine. With but all questions that you
Speaker 3: try and figure. Out if you're The Denver, Nuggets you've
Speaker 3: got a talent, upgrade you traded a first round, pick
Speaker 3: you Traded Gary harris who hasn't been himself the last
Speaker 3: couple of, years and you TRADED. Rj hampton's potential for more.
Speaker 3: Potential so it's something That Mike malone has to figure.
Speaker 3: Out But i'm gonna be watching the defensive end because
Speaker 3: sometimes they just don't give a flying poop on that,
Speaker 3: team and that could be even exacerbated a little bit
Speaker 3: more with the way they kind of Got they got,
Speaker 3: bigger they got more, athletic but they didn't get any better,
Speaker 3: defensively you, know on the. Perimeters so Hopefully Aaron gordon
Speaker 3: just works his ass off on that, end because we
Speaker 3: know he could be A draymond Green light if he
Speaker 3: really wants to, be if he really wants to get
Speaker 3: after it on the defensive. End so, yeah it's gonna
Speaker 3: be exciting to see them in the. Playoffs all, right
Speaker 3: le let's keep it.
Speaker 1: GOING i guess we know where you're headed for your
Speaker 1: winner of the trade. Deadline The bulls are. Back, YEAH i,
Speaker 1: mean how much did he pay you to say?
Speaker 5: This you're going to say this slay on my second round? Pick?
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, now, look The bulls did the hard work
Speaker 2: yesterday BECAUSE i got the best player revivable and they
Speaker 2: improve their. Team but now the super hard working is
Speaker 2: there for The bulls because are they a playoff team right?
Speaker 2: Now where they are in the, standings there are a
Speaker 2: couple of games back Of, sorry they're a game and
Speaker 2: a half back of The Boston celtics for eighth. Spot
Speaker 2: now The celtics are below five hundred and twenty one
Speaker 2: and twenty. THREE i think they're a better team than their,
Speaker 2: record but that's to be seen and over these next
Speaker 2: few weeks of the. Season hawks and The knicks and
Speaker 2: The hornets are all in the playoffs right, now The
Speaker 2: bulls are only three games back from. Them so, certainly
Speaker 2: obviously the goal For chicago here is to make the.
Speaker 2: Playoffs but let's look at their immediate, schedule because they
Speaker 2: have nine of their next ten on the, road and
Speaker 2: according To Power Rankings, guru they have the seventh seventh
Speaker 2: toughest schedule from here on out for the remainder of this,
Speaker 2: season so it's not going to be easy for. Them
Speaker 2: and the only home game they play out of their
Speaker 2: next ten games is against The Brooklyn, nets so you
Speaker 2: know they haven't got time, here is What i'm, saying
Speaker 2: For vucevich to sort of get a feel for things
Speaker 2: and then to break them. In they really need to
Speaker 2: start winning straight, away and it's not going to be
Speaker 2: easy for, Them but he's A vet in a situation
Speaker 2: where he's on a better, team so you expect he's
Speaker 2: going to come in motivated and ready to get to.
Speaker 2: Work so the real question, is, though you, know if The,
Speaker 2: bulls you, know somehow don't make the playoffs from, here you,
Speaker 2: know then was it worth? It? Yeah, SURE i think
Speaker 2: they still, improved but they really do now have TO
Speaker 2: i think finish no lower than sixth or else it's
Speaker 2: going to be a little bit of a failure for,
Speaker 2: them and, ultimately even if they do finish sixth or,
Speaker 2: higher that getting out of that first round is going
Speaker 2: to be. Tough but The bulls are looking beyond this
Speaker 2: season as, well With Zach lavine And Nick vutovich as
Speaker 2: their two core, pieces so it's not like they have
Speaker 2: to advance to the second round this, season but they
Speaker 2: certainly need to make the playoffs and they need to
Speaker 2: show that these two pieces together are their sort of
Speaker 2: immediate future. Here so it's not going to be easy for,
Speaker 2: Them that's really What i'm, saying because of as, well
Speaker 2: these other ten, games they only play one against The
Speaker 2: pacers and one Against Atlanda, hawks two teams that you
Speaker 2: are battling with to get into the. Playoffs so it's
Speaker 2: going to be a little bit tough here for. Them
Speaker 2: but AS i, say if they, can if they, can
Speaker 2: if they can Integrate vucevic straight away and start, winning
Speaker 2: then The bulls will definitely be back. Baby but it's
Speaker 2: just not going to be super easy for, them because,
Speaker 2: again they lost to The caves the other night at
Speaker 2: home In. Chicago The bulls have played some really impressive
Speaker 2: wins this, season but they've also just had a couple
Speaker 2: of stinkers that just pop. Up and hopefully With vucovic
Speaker 2: they're a little bit more. Experienced he will be someone
Speaker 2: who can close out games a little bit better than
Speaker 2: they've been able to. Do but, interesting very interesting. Situation
Speaker 2: they made a great move. Yesterday now they have to
Speaker 2: make the playoffs or. Else it's going to be a
Speaker 2: bit of a letdown as A.
Speaker 1: Bulls, fan tray is it playoffs or? Bust like this?
Speaker 4: Year, oh come, on playoffs are a. LOCK i don't
Speaker 4: even think that's a. Question six seed is. Easy four
Speaker 4: seed is What i've got my eyes. On i'm not
Speaker 4: really joking. HERE i, MEAN i think The. BULLS i
Speaker 4: think the way the trade deadline went down, yesterday it
Speaker 4: could have turned out better for The.
Speaker 5: Bulls you, know if The raptors Move.
Speaker 4: Kyle lowry to The, heat that kind of knocks them
Speaker 4: out of the playoff, CHASE i would.
Speaker 5: THINK i don't.
Speaker 4: Know i'm a little worried about The, raptors to be
Speaker 4: honest with. YOU i think they're going to have a
Speaker 4: nice little second half run. Here BUT i love seeing
Speaker 4: The bulls actually go for it and trying to. Improve
Speaker 4: that's what we'll talk about a little bit when we
Speaker 4: get To my. Loser but the big thing, yesterday to,
Speaker 4: Me i'm loving Getting, vooch no doubt about. It LIKE
Speaker 4: i you, KNOW i liked that they were able to
Speaker 4: protect the picks top four for this coming draft and
Speaker 4: the draft in twenty twenty. Three they're obviously not really
Speaker 4: messing with their cap, space his contract, declines all that.
Speaker 4: Stuff but it felt like a one day culture rebuild
Speaker 4: to me, yesterday a one day image rebuild, really because
Speaker 4: The bulls they're not acting like a small market. Anymore
Speaker 4: at the start of the season When levine started balling, instantly,
Speaker 4: instantly the talk, was we got to Get levine out Of.
Speaker 5: Chicago we got to Free Zach.
Speaker 4: Levine and that's what happens when you're a small market,
Speaker 4: franchise maybe you're the Timber wolves or you're The Oklahoma City.
Speaker 4: Thunder your player starts, balling you're not necessarily able to
Speaker 4: build a contender around. Them people want to get you
Speaker 4: out of there into a major, market the third biggest
Speaker 4: market in the. League we just had this huge piece
Speaker 4: By Kirk goldsberry about the imbalance in THE nba between major.
Speaker 4: Markets we're seeing players flock To New york IN. La
Speaker 4: The bulls are a legacy. Franchise LIKE i say, it
Speaker 4: and people think it might be a, joke But Nick
Speaker 4: vuchovich was A bulls fan when he was five years.
Speaker 5: Old you, know they have a global.
Speaker 4: Reach it should be a team that can use their
Speaker 4: market and use the advantages they have to imploy to
Speaker 4: improve their, prospects AND i think they did that yesterday
Speaker 4: AND i heard you hear our Turist karnershovs say it
Speaker 4: in the press, conference basically, saying we care about. Winning
Speaker 4: we want to be a free agent. Destination that is
Speaker 4: such a change for The bulls over the past ten, years,
Speaker 4: really where they're always focused on flexibility and kind of
Speaker 4: resign themselves to the fact that free agents don't really
Speaker 4: give them a. Chance it feels, LIKE i, MEAN i
Speaker 4: say The bulls are back. Skeets you Think i'm leaning
Speaker 4: into a, bit but they are no longer a joke
Speaker 4: of a. Franchise and that has been the case FOR
Speaker 4: i don't, know at least three. Seasons you, know they
Speaker 4: had the season Where Bobby port And nikolaimiritych got in a,
Speaker 4: fight and that was kind of the start of when
Speaker 4: The bulls started to be a laughing stock around the.
Speaker 4: LEAGUE i don't think that's the case. ANYMORE i, mean
Speaker 4: going for the sixth seed isn't very exciting unless you
Speaker 4: haven't made the playoffs for a long, time AND i
Speaker 4: think that's. IMPORTANT i wouldn't have wanted to restart the rebuild,
Speaker 4: again which is the talk that was happening in the
Speaker 4: middle Of january When levine was first making His All star.
Speaker 4: Push the game has. Changed there's money In chicago for
Speaker 4: another free. Agent there's Two All stars there. Already they
Speaker 4: are on an upward. Trajectory who's going to sign up
Speaker 4: and be a, hero that's a.
Speaker 1: Question and there's young promising talent like still there right
Speaker 1: now obviously In Kobe white And Patrick williams of, course
Speaker 1: and not that sad as, young but he is. Contributing so,
Speaker 1: well what do you think of The bulls being, Back?
Speaker 1: Tess you liked what they did? YESTERDAY i getting the
Speaker 1: best PLAYER i guess added to their.
Speaker 3: Squad, yeah the best player that.
Speaker 6: Moved.
Speaker 3: Sure this season is going to be tough, though to
Speaker 3: get into those top. Six they're own nine their last
Speaker 3: nine games against five hundred plus. Squads they're going on
Speaker 3: the road here And, Miami, Toronto boston are all. Underachieving
Speaker 3: so those teams should move up in the. Standing so
Speaker 3: there may not be the immediate, dividends but, yeah you
Speaker 3: got number, one you do it in a. Heartbeat number, Two,
Speaker 3: yeah you try and become a free agent, destination and
Speaker 3: that's it's one of those. Franchises, yes that needs to be,
Speaker 3: good and it's nice that our Tourist cornischiavus has taken
Speaker 3: a different tack than the last decade and a half the,
Speaker 3: BULLS i, guess not that, long you, know the last you,
Speaker 3: know five, six seven years where things have been a.
Speaker 3: Bleak so, yeah they're going for it and a couple
Speaker 3: first round. Picks it's totally entirely worth, it plus one
Speaker 3: Del Carter junior's.
Speaker 6: Future of course you do.
Speaker 3: It and those, picks especially being in The Eastern conference,
Speaker 3: team they're going to be you, know sort of mid tier,
Speaker 3: picks you, know whether it's in the teens or. Whatever
Speaker 3: so for For vuchu's, thirty you want to be good
Speaker 3: to soon because that's the, thing you, Know boots doesn't
Speaker 3: have a billion years, left he's Got he's, got you,
Speaker 3: know three years of being really. Good so hopefully that you,
Speaker 3: know whether or not they you, know make the play
Speaker 3: in tournament this, YEAR i mean that sounds nice that
Speaker 3: they could be a playoff, team BUT i think it's
Speaker 3: gonna be it's gonna be, tough and then next year
Speaker 3: at least they're on that right trajectory for once at
Speaker 3: least the red and, white you, know means something for you,
Speaker 3: know a few months here and should be into the.
Speaker 3: Future it should be something that we all get excited.
Speaker 3: About you.
Speaker 6: KNOW i said something about The Charlotte.
Speaker 3: Hornets being everyone's second, team second favorite, team and The
Speaker 3: bulls potentially taking that that.
Speaker 6: That torch from.
Speaker 3: Them it feels that.
Speaker 6: Way you.
Speaker 3: Know The hornets are still up there right now and
Speaker 3: they're still playing, really really, well but it's nice to
Speaker 3: have The bulls. Back it's nice to be able to
Speaker 3: tune into a, game to Watch Adam amean And Stacy
Speaker 3: king call a game in that, arena and to be
Speaker 3: to have fun that that arena should be. Fun it
Speaker 3: should be LIKE, msg but it's gonna be tough sledting
Speaker 3: this next.
Speaker 1: Month my winner from the trade DEADLINE i gotta go
Speaker 1: With Miami heat BECAUSE i Got Victor oladipo for really
Speaker 1: a last second bag of. Beans let's call it what it.
Speaker 1: Is you, Know Kelly, Olinock Avery bradley and a future.
Speaker 1: Pickswall that's pretty. Impressive you. Know they obviously were in
Speaker 1: trade talks With Kyle lowry all day The heat were
Speaker 1: and didn't want to budge on giving, up you, Know,
Speaker 1: Tyler hero or whatever it, was so they didn't have.
Speaker 1: To in the, end they get old the depot And
Speaker 1: hero is still. There Duncan robinson's still, there you, Know
Speaker 1: precious is still, there like really like no meaningful player
Speaker 1: was given up in. This olynic was a. Starter, yes
Speaker 1: they'll miss you, know his ten and six and the
Speaker 1: few made threes that he hits a. Game but then
Speaker 1: they went and acquired Bi, alitza who is a pretty
Speaker 1: good replacement For Kelly olinock probably in terms of us
Speaker 1: stretching the floor and being a big guy that can
Speaker 1: get you some boards and stuff like. That so pretty
Speaker 1: good move here from Pat. Riley they get an extended
Speaker 1: look At itadpo, too you, know to decide whether they
Speaker 1: bring him back as a free. Agent acquired his bird
Speaker 1: rights of course in this, trade so you can surpass
Speaker 1: the salary. Cap you, know we'll see what type Of
Speaker 1: oladipo we. GET i know a lot of people were
Speaker 1: not high on him In. Houston played what twenty, games
Speaker 1: he averaged twenty one points per, game didn't shoot all that,
Speaker 1: well like something like forty one, percent but still five,
Speaker 1: boards five. Assists he's another playmaker and can play some.
Speaker 1: Defense that you're adding to A heat, team especially, offensively
Speaker 1: that has, struggled which is. Weird and now they're going
Speaker 1: to emerge or all reports they're going to Get LaMarcus.
Speaker 1: Aldridge that's a damn good little trade deadline day or
Speaker 1: two days, here when you count the potential biot of
Speaker 1: getting Lamarc alders on your, SQUAD i think that's pretty.
Speaker 1: Impressive and, yeah they're gonna be one of those teams
Speaker 1: in theory if everybody's healthy and. Playing that goes up
Speaker 1: these standings a little. BIT i know they lost to
Speaker 1: The placers last night in a close, one but gotta
Speaker 1: like what Pat riley.
Speaker 3: Did.
Speaker 1: Ley you, know he wouldn't budge on giving up like
Speaker 1: future potential future stars for an aging guy Like. Lowry
Speaker 1: but so he's just, like all, right we'll go get
Speaker 1: all the. Deeper he wants to come here, anyway so
Speaker 1: let's see what he can help us with in this
Speaker 1: playoff person and then maybe we'll say or we.
Speaker 2: Don't h a great consolation prize for The Heat knowing
Speaker 2: that The rockets were going to be able to make that,
Speaker 2: trade so they could really go go back and forth
Speaker 2: there with Messiag ery up until about two fifty. Three
Speaker 2: massiah wasn't, budging Pat riley wasn't. Budging, Okay Raphael stain
Speaker 2: will take. Him you can Have Kelly, Olinik Avery bradley
Speaker 2: and a pick swap whatever, that you, know just take.
Speaker 2: Him we'll take all The depot. Fine and as you,
Speaker 2: mentioned if they do also bolster their offense there With LaMarcus,
Speaker 2: aldridge that's good because he'd actually. Needed they've a five
Speaker 2: in a row here after looking a, him really really.
Speaker 2: GOOD i think they will bounce. Back but, yeah you're
Speaker 2: getting too you know not, Obviously LaMarcus aldridge is no
Speaker 2: longer in his, prime But Ola depot theoretically is still
Speaker 2: in that age range of being in his. Prime so,
Speaker 2: yeah you get a good look at. Him he wants
Speaker 2: to sign there in the off. Season you gave up
Speaker 2: nothing to get those, Guys so pretty good day for The.
Speaker 1: Heat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Absolutely i'm not super pumped for with what they.
Speaker 3: DID i just there is getting older and we're talking About,
Speaker 3: Yeah depo's, prime but what is his prime? Anymore he's
Speaker 3: turning twenty nine. Soon it was a couple of years
Speaker 3: ago that was it was his. Prime they signed again
Speaker 3: Him aldridge if they do get him and they Got
Speaker 3: Trevor reza. Recently they're smart in that they didn't sacrifice
Speaker 3: any of their. Future there's no doubt about. That it
Speaker 3: could come a few months from now And oladipo may
Speaker 3: not be on the team anymore when it comes to the,
Speaker 3: summer or you, Know sam goes With. Aldridge they could
Speaker 3: turn it over and go Sign Kyle louer in the.
Speaker 3: Offseason there's there's no doubt about. That but this is
Speaker 3: a team that just struggles to score at the end of.
Speaker 3: Games they're looking for somebody to. Create in, Theory oladipo
Speaker 3: can be that. Guy but is he going to take
Speaker 3: shots away From? Dragich is he going to take shots
Speaker 3: away From, hero Which i'm definitely worried. About drags is
Speaker 3: a little less worrisome Because droudge can barely stay on the,
Speaker 3: Floor but they're putting a lot of stock Into bam
Speaker 3: staying on the floor and being a. Boss because even
Speaker 3: though they got B, Alita olinik was at least a
Speaker 3: back up center they could rely.
Speaker 6: On and there's there's just question. MARKS i just wonder if.
Speaker 3: This is all going to. Drive even though get ready
Speaker 3: for a drink hashtag heat culture should bring it all.
Speaker 3: Together it's it's good on. Paper BUT i wonder if
Speaker 3: you're going to thank You lee for sipping that, woodbridge
Speaker 3: because that was a.
Speaker 2: Woodbridge what was the?
Speaker 3: Champagne yeah it was it was it a wet moette
Speaker 3: or what? What what kind of champagne was it?
Speaker 2: Was it was something From. France, YEAH i can't remember
Speaker 2: exactly what it, was but it was not cheap and
Speaker 2: it was worth.
Speaker 3: It it was expensive enough to put the pinky finger up. Exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah BUT i, mean, YEAH i hear what you're saying
Speaker 1: About you're you're going through the roster of the heat.
Speaker 1: Here but the actual trade, ITSELF i mean, nothing they got.
Speaker 1: Killed they Got vic really deeple for, Nothing LIKE i
Speaker 1: mean all, there all the guys Like bradley and who
Speaker 1: else went, Out Chris silva And i'm forgetting one more
Speaker 1: that went in that one. Trade but like it's like
Speaker 1: they weren't playing these.
Speaker 3: Guys, yeah they're absolutely not part of the rotational.
Speaker 6: Guys i'm more worried.
Speaker 3: Of, Listen Victor oladipo was traded For Kelly, olnik a
Speaker 3: pick swap And Avery bradley because The rockets couldn't get anything.
Speaker 3: BETTER i, mean that's Clear Old depot has not been
Speaker 3: the same guy he. Is he used to be, amazing
Speaker 3: but right, now in a high volume Situation, houston it hasn't.
Speaker 3: Worked maybe with less shots and a little bit more,
Speaker 3: structure like The heat are going to put him, in
Speaker 3: it's gonna be different for him than when he played
Speaker 3: With houston Or. Indiana SO i just wonder how that's
Speaker 3: how it's gonna work to take. Away, yeah both hero,
Speaker 3: shots dragon shots and potentially if you Had jimmy. Shots
Speaker 3: so in, theory it's it's, yeah it's, nice there's their
Speaker 3: defense will still be. Good we've got one fan in
Speaker 3: the stream, Team Bernardo, garcia that keeps keeps he's he's
Speaker 3: sending the, roster he's sending one through, seventeen every two
Speaker 3: way player that they, have that they all should be
Speaker 3: able to take the floor and beat another. Team and and,
Speaker 3: yeah it's like if you look back to last year's,
Speaker 3: playoffs they should be just as gritty and work at
Speaker 3: and outwork other. Teams And Jimmy butler isn't there right.
Speaker 3: Now and, yeah on, paper it's good what they did,
Speaker 3: Skeats you're, right they didn't give up a. Lot but
Speaker 3: in the. END i don't know how that's going to,
Speaker 3: drive how they're all going to, drive because Because vick
Speaker 3: still wants to be the, guy but.
Speaker 1: He's also he's also wanted to go To miami for
Speaker 1: like three years, now so he is going to BE
Speaker 1: i assume my best, behavior like like he's wanted to come.
Speaker 1: Here this it feels again not even, exaggerating, right.
Speaker 5: It's That Dwayne wade. Influence, yeah all these guys want
Speaker 5: to Be Dwayne.
Speaker 4: Wade, Yeah Dwayne wade played At. Marquette Jimmy butler played At.
Speaker 4: Marquette Dwayne wade came to The bulls, said hey, man
Speaker 4: we worked so hard In. Miami come To. Miami you'll love.
Speaker 5: It he went.
Speaker 4: THERE i Think Victor oladipo played For Dwayne wade's college,
Speaker 4: Coach Tom crean at The university Of. Indiana he came
Speaker 4: into the. DRAFT i remember his draft. Night the very
Speaker 4: first question as, Them they're, like what makes you? Special
Speaker 4: i'm gonna outwork every player in THE, nba is what he.
Speaker 4: Said that's heat culture right. There and the guy obviously
Speaker 4: wants to be A Dwayne wade like character as. WELL i,
Speaker 4: mean is it a great idea to have two guys
Speaker 4: on The heat who both want to Be Dwayne wade
Speaker 4: at the same. Time maybe, not BUT i thought that
Speaker 4: was one of the strengths of The heat last year
Speaker 4: was That jimmy would usually play, Well bam would usually play,
Speaker 4: well and then they just need to have some other
Speaker 4: third guy play. WELL a lot of the times that Was,
Speaker 4: dragich a lot of the times that Was, hero sometimes
Speaker 4: it Was Kendrick. Nunn now they've got another guard to
Speaker 4: throw into that mix as.
Speaker 1: Well, yep and we'll see. Again it looks Like LaMarcus
Speaker 1: aldridge that could be The they could be the front
Speaker 1: runner to sign him because he did complete his bio
Speaker 1: with The spurs there On. Thursday all, right let's wrap
Speaker 1: up the winners here of the trade deadline. Tests who
Speaker 1: do you?
Speaker 3: Have i'm going to throw in The Atlanta hawks into
Speaker 3: this equation for what mostly they didn't do because they
Speaker 3: made a minor, move you, know getting rid Of russi
Speaker 3: And rondo for two draft picks because he wasn't working.
Speaker 3: Out that's a. Positive but you can argue that The
Speaker 3: hawks acquired the best young player available by Keeping John
Speaker 3: collins and not trading, him because we all thought that
Speaker 3: they were going to trade, him you, know for, months
Speaker 3: because he rejected a four, year ninety million dollars plus
Speaker 3: extension this past.
Speaker 6: Year you, know it was fourteen months.
Speaker 3: Ago but all of a sudden last week he, said
Speaker 3: you know WHAT i, SAID i wanted the, max BUT
Speaker 3: i take it.
Speaker 6: BACK i want to stick. AROUND i want to be
Speaker 6: part of this.
Speaker 3: Thing and The hawks are going on his word and
Speaker 3: think that maybe they can sign him for less than the,
Speaker 3: max and even if they, don't you, know keep him there.
Speaker 3: FOREVER i think they still signed him to a contract
Speaker 3: there this offseason and trade him at some other. Point
Speaker 3: but they got a twenty three year old power forward
Speaker 3: who could be a twenty ten. Type guy's numbers have
Speaker 3: dropped off a little, bit and they have some cohesion.
Speaker 3: There So i'm starting to buy That John collins likes
Speaker 3: it In atlanta and that they didn't just give away
Speaker 3: again one of the best young players that was rumored
Speaker 3: to be, Traded Aaron, gordon got.
Speaker 6: Moved you, know he's he's even older Than John.
Speaker 3: Collins John collins is still, like you, know scratching the,
Speaker 3: surface and he's also you, know probably scratching the surface
Speaker 3: of his maturity. Too he's probably getting older and, realizing,
Speaker 3: hey me And Trey young can do this, thing MAYBE
Speaker 3: i shouldn't ask to be. Traded and it's it's a
Speaker 3: positive for them on that. Front and also Trading Rajon
Speaker 3: rondo For Lou, williams Whether Lou williams plays or, not
Speaker 3: to get two second round picks for a guy In
Speaker 3: rondo that was not working, whatsoever it's a. Win it's
Speaker 3: a win for The, hawks and, sometimes As Lee ellis,
Speaker 3: knows it's The tracey you don't make that are the best.
Speaker 3: Ones SO i think that's a positive for. Them even
Speaker 3: though things were murky for a long time With John, WELL.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that winning streak came at the
Speaker 1: right time for. THEM i, mean the decision to move
Speaker 1: off With Lloyd pearson and move Over nate. McMillen i,
Speaker 1: mean whether you want to put how much stock you
Speaker 1: want to put into, that you, know igniting the winning,
Speaker 1: Streak it did they really? Started would they win like
Speaker 1: eight in a, row eight or nine With nate McMillan
Speaker 1: there and like at the perfect, Timing because if they
Speaker 1: don't do, that then, yeah you, know those Trading John
Speaker 1: collins rumors may have Got louder And louder lely and
Speaker 1: then maybe they're almost forced to do something at that,
Speaker 1: point but they, didn't you, Know AND i think the
Speaker 1: wins helped in that.
Speaker 2: Matter, YEAH i mean winning solves, everything you, know and
Speaker 2: that looks like the right move to get rid Of Lloyd.
Speaker 2: PIERCE i don't think it, was But nate McMillan got those,
Speaker 2: wins and they certainly played better And Trey young looked
Speaker 2: better out. There but we'll see what happens when the
Speaker 2: dust settles a little. Bit now that there is no
Speaker 2: longer that uncertainty going forward about what's going to happen
Speaker 2: for the remainder of the. Season you, know your roster now. More,
Speaker 2: yeah there might be the odd change here in, there
Speaker 2: but of course With John collins and their younger, pieces
Speaker 2: you know they're all going to be. There because there
Speaker 2: was talking about Cam radish being teams being interested in,
Speaker 2: him Even DeAndre. HUNTER i didn't think they were going
Speaker 2: to trade, certainly not both even really one of those.
Speaker 2: Guys but a team Like, atlanta you, know because there's
Speaker 2: been a little bit turmoil around the, team that's when
Speaker 2: other teams start to try to pick at them a little.
Speaker 2: Bit and say maybe we can you, know entice these
Speaker 2: guys with one of our other you, know veteran maybe
Speaker 2: and a young, piece just to get one of their younger.
Speaker 2: Pieces but didn't have.
Speaker 3: So what On Hawks and hopefully they do make a
Speaker 3: trade for a star at some point with you, know
Speaker 3: a package of a bunch of their young, guys because
Speaker 3: they still have too many. Guys AND i think they
Speaker 3: won games because they those guys got. HEALTHY i, mean
Speaker 3: Bug Don, Bogdanovic.
Speaker 2: Gallinari there's actually a lot of rooms a Bad bogdanovich.
Speaker 2: Too teams are trying to get, him which would have
Speaker 2: been a big, SURPRISE i think if The hawks had
Speaker 2: given up on, him you, know so early into signing
Speaker 2: him to that four, year seventy two million at the
Speaker 2: end of you, know last.
Speaker 1: Season, yeah The, hawks like The, bulls expect to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year for, sure and that's why they
Speaker 1: Fired Lloyd pierce to begin. With there like we're getting in,
Speaker 1: here so we got to switch this.
Speaker 4: Up so, Okay, YEAH i think the win streak was,
Speaker 4: huge AND i also Think LaMelo ball going down with
Speaker 4: an injury for The hornets was probably, big taking them
Speaker 4: off the. Table really as a trade. Partner they still
Speaker 4: might get into the play in. Tournament they might even
Speaker 4: still finish in the top six. Seeds they've been a
Speaker 4: pretty impressive team.
Speaker 5: With and Without.
Speaker 4: Lamello but it certainly took a buyer off the table
Speaker 4: because they were one of the team's rumored because you
Speaker 4: can See John collins fitting real nice With LaMelo, ball
Speaker 4: and maybe that does happen in the, future but if
Speaker 4: the offers aren't. There it's just the same With Kyle
Speaker 4: lowry and The. Raptors you don't have to make a.
Speaker 4: Trade you can always do it again in the offseason
Speaker 4: right now when people are maybe a little bit more
Speaker 4: willing to make a.
Speaker 1: Move, yeah go check out. Tests is what you need
Speaker 1: to know from this. MORNING a little twist on that
Speaker 1: talking about exactly this, GRATING i guess the trades that didn't,
Speaker 1: happen some of the big names that we thought might
Speaker 1: get Moves, Lowry John, Collins Lonzo ball and throwing a
Speaker 1: grade on them sticking with their. Teams what you need to,
Speaker 1: know great. Stuff they're test, plug nice. Plug, okay let's
Speaker 1: get to trade deadline. Losers, uh try you get it.
Speaker 1: Started who's a big loser from the trade.
Speaker 4: Deadline, well, skeezee you made me think last night On Happy,
Speaker 4: hour how WOULD i have felt if any other, trade
Speaker 4: any other team had traded For Nick. Vujovic every, team
Speaker 4: it's their own discrete situation that dictates the.
Speaker 5: Moves you're trying.
Speaker 4: ME i try to focus now more on twenty twenty
Speaker 4: one on what players can, do not what they can't.
Speaker 4: Do BUT i do think The knicks And bulls are
Speaker 4: in similar spots. Here they both kind of turned the
Speaker 4: corner in the rebuild a little, bit completing competing for
Speaker 4: their first playoff berth in quite a.
Speaker 5: While they've got first Time All.
Speaker 4: Stars, obviously they are both in major, markets but they're
Speaker 4: obviously not at the peaks of their major market. Powers
Speaker 4: and that's, why to, me The knicks are a loser
Speaker 4: yesterday because they didn't make a. Move all they did
Speaker 4: yesterday was help out The philadelphia seventy six. Ers, meanwhile
Speaker 4: all the teams around them got. Better The hawks Kept John,
Speaker 4: collins The heat brought In Victor. Oladipo The. Celtics they
Speaker 4: didn't do a big, move but they did bring In Evan.
Speaker 4: Fournier The bulls obviously made their, move and The raptors
Speaker 4: are Keeping Kyle. Lowry all of these teams improved a little. Bit,
Speaker 4: meanwhile The knicks were happy to stand pat and build.
Speaker 4: Slowly and that's the question to, me would you rather
Speaker 4: build slowly if you're The, knicks or would you rather
Speaker 4: build a little bit quickly.
Speaker 5: If you're The.
Speaker 4: BULLS i don't mean to make the manual quickly pun,
Speaker 4: there BUT i, mean if it's, There i'm gonna take,
Speaker 4: it you know What i'm saying That my answer right
Speaker 4: now obviously IS i would want to go for the.
Speaker 4: Playoffs The bulls haven't made it in five. Seasons The
Speaker 4: knicks have made it in. Longer you can't rebuild all the,
Speaker 4: time so at certain points you got to accelerate it
Speaker 4: a little bit if the deals are. THERE i was
Speaker 4: a little surprised to see The knicks not Moving Niela
Speaker 4: kina or A, knox just a young players who somebody
Speaker 4: could be interested. In The knicks obviously want to keep
Speaker 4: their powder dry for the offseason when they have a
Speaker 4: ton of cap, space and they want to be a
Speaker 4: player in the free agent market as. Well BUT i
Speaker 4: don't know for teams that are for fan bases that
Speaker 4: are accustomed to being.
Speaker 5: Good sometimes you just got.
Speaker 4: To throw them a bone and try and make the.
Speaker 4: Playoffs The knicks are still probably going to be getting.
Speaker 4: THERE i think the builds are similar between these two.
Speaker 4: Teams but to, me The bulls are a little bit
Speaker 4: ahead right, now and maybe that wouldn't have been the.
Speaker 1: Case, yeah this one's tough because the flip side of
Speaker 1: this is we've seen The knicks sort of go all
Speaker 1: inlet so to speak for you, know borderline, STARS i,
Speaker 1: guess or all star like you, Know oladipo was linked
Speaker 1: to The Knicks ucovic you, KNOW i don't think he
Speaker 1: was really linked, there but that type of player and
Speaker 1: if they had on, it especially like The oladipo giving,
Speaker 1: up you know, whatever it took a couple picks some
Speaker 1: of The MAVs, whatever you because he'd be, like, oh
Speaker 1: what are you, Doing New? York like you're playing, Well
Speaker 1: julius is your.
Speaker 2: Guy you, know.
Speaker 1: You're obviously creating an identity there of some of your
Speaker 1: young guys in quickly and stuff like. That like now
Speaker 1: you're just trying to like jump ten spots, ahead like
Speaker 1: spaces ahead in terms of your. Rebuild SO i could
Speaker 1: see like people would be angry with. That so in
Speaker 1: a weird, way maybe they are a winner because they
Speaker 1: didn't do something that usually the next do. Do does
Speaker 1: that make, sense, Le?
Speaker 2: Yeah it.
Speaker 3: Does.
Speaker 2: Yeah and both The knicks and The BULLS i think
Speaker 2: have got to be satisfied with just making the playoffs this,
Speaker 2: season because if you look Again, Brooklyn, philadelphia And milwaukee
Speaker 2: The Eastern conference. Champions coming out of those, three no
Speaker 2: one's going to be able to, upset certainly not two
Speaker 2: of those, teams you, know potentially, ONE i, Suppose AND
Speaker 2: i think that is going to be what's important here
Speaker 2: to be a little bit patient with your. Rebuild get.
Speaker 1: That you.
Speaker 2: Know for The, bulls they Get, vucevic they're gonna Have,
Speaker 2: levine and they're going to have cap space next year
Speaker 2: to sign. Someone so if they can take those incremental
Speaker 2: steps rather than try to think you can sort of
Speaker 2: go from not making the players for so long to
Speaker 2: going all the way in The Eastern conference because it
Speaker 2: just won't. Happen same for the next this, season they've
Speaker 2: got to be, patient and they showed that patience yesterday
Speaker 2: because they could have gotten someone Like oladipo who maybe
Speaker 2: gives them an extra couple of, wins but ultimately that
Speaker 2: he's not there the long term piece for, THEM i
Speaker 2: don't believe. ANYWAY i think they need to set their
Speaker 2: sights on something a little bit bigger than. That so
Speaker 2: both these, franchises who, know historically have been you, know
Speaker 2: some of the more high regarded, franchise but have been
Speaker 2: in the basement for last five to ten, years depending
Speaker 2: on which one you want to. Pick they need to
Speaker 2: just be patient and just starts showing some slow progress
Speaker 2: here BECAUSE i like The nix young. PIECES i think
Speaker 2: there's some talent there With barrett And quickly's good and
Speaker 2: Obviously Julius randall making The All star team this season
Speaker 2: and likely to Win most To Improved player as. Well
Speaker 2: in my, OPINION i think they've got enough ingredients. There And,
Speaker 2: thibodeau we know he tends to have a short term.
Speaker 2: IMPACT i think you're seeing that as well right. Away
Speaker 2: will that last into a three years? Time who? Knows
Speaker 2: maybe maybe Not historically probably. Not but that's not really
Speaker 2: their issue for. Now right, now it's like where we
Speaker 2: are so close to the, Playoffs nicks are over five.
Speaker 2: Hundred they should make the playoffs from? Here should good
Speaker 2: win from? Him last night by the, way yeah come.
Speaker 1: Back yeah versus The, Wizards, yeah no. Doubt any thing
Speaker 1: to add on the next, there where do you fall
Speaker 1: in this sort of, debate task like more of a
Speaker 1: loser because they didn't really do, anything more of a
Speaker 1: winner because they didn't really do. Anything what do you?
Speaker 3: Think, yeah the next and step up to the three point,
Speaker 3: line hit the game winning. Shot but they also didn't
Speaker 3: flub the game winning shot. Either you, know they didn't screw.
Speaker 3: Up SO i think that's a win that they didn't
Speaker 3: try and go sign, somebody you, know Like Audrey drummond
Speaker 3: and get him and sign him to a, big long term.
Speaker 3: Deal if you, know if he's bought, out there's still
Speaker 3: they still could do. That they are the next there's
Speaker 3: it is still. Possible BUT i don't think that THEY
Speaker 3: i don't think that they sabotage what they've got going
Speaker 3: on by doing something like.
Speaker 6: That, NOW i think The bulls kind of found that.
Speaker 3: Balance they got a thirty year old star in Vooch
Speaker 3: things are good In, chicago but The knicks couldn't pull that.
Speaker 3: Off and and you might, say, well they've got their draft,
Speaker 3: picks but they.
Speaker 6: Also don't really draft all that.
Speaker 3: Well those guys Like Frank neilakina And Kevin knock specifically
Speaker 3: haven't worked, out so maybe they should trade their draft
Speaker 3: picks for. Somebody AND i think they had definitely have
Speaker 3: that in the back of their, mind BUT i think
Speaker 3: they're happy to go forward right now With Julius. Randall
Speaker 3: Mitchell robinson is a key to me and AND. R.
Speaker 3: J barrett as well as quickly in the. Backcourt so
Speaker 3: they didn't screw, up and that's okay with. Me you,
Speaker 3: Know i'd rather watch this. Team it's overachieving and playing really.
Speaker 3: WELL i GUESS i THINK i KEEP i keep looking
Speaker 3: At Julius randall and think he's. Overachieving but MAYBE i
Speaker 3: shouldn't be an old. Fart MAYBE i should just, say
Speaker 3: maybe the guy is good, now maybe the guys just
Speaker 3: taking his shooting to another. Level So i'm. Happy i'm
Speaker 3: happy they say that.
Speaker 1: One, yeah so fire this.
Speaker 3: Guy YEAH i.
Speaker 1: Can't and then, look The knicks could just sit on
Speaker 1: all these, picks sit on all these young prospects that
Speaker 1: they do, have some of them better than, others and
Speaker 1: wait for the next disgruntled superstar that does want to
Speaker 1: like eventually get out of where he wants to get
Speaker 1: out whoever that could. BE i Mean. Towns you always
Speaker 1: bring Up, ley maybe it's your Boy Bradley beal finally
Speaker 1: saying LIKE i want to get out of, One like you,
Speaker 1: know give it it's THE. Nba give it three four
Speaker 1: months and there will be a NEW nba superstar that
Speaker 1: wants out of whatever market they're, In and then you
Speaker 1: know it's a. POSSIBILITY i.
Speaker 7: Guess for, see In, chicago they've got a better future
Speaker 7: than the next that's the.
Speaker 5: QUESTION i, mean The balls are more attractive.
Speaker 4: Than The knicks are right, now and they are going
Speaker 4: to be battling for the same free.
Speaker 1: Agents, yeah, yeah, NO i hear. YOU i get your
Speaker 1: reasoning for the trade deadline, loser no. Doubt Task who
Speaker 1: do you have from the big loser from?
Speaker 3: Yesterday, WELL i think The Boston celtics are a. LOSER
Speaker 3: i Love Evan fournier and that pick up as a bench.
Speaker 3: Guy i'm a fan of, his But i'm a little
Speaker 3: bit worried about the next few. Days they traded Away Daniel,
Speaker 3: tice who is a key part of their. Team you,
Speaker 3: know whether you think he's a good player or, not
Speaker 3: he plays key minutes and that Helps Robert williams stay
Speaker 3: on the, bench And Tristan thompson just hasn't been all
Speaker 3: that great this. Season and these next few, days there's
Speaker 3: talk that they are going to go Sign Andre, drummond
Speaker 3: and that's worrisome to me because they're a team that
Speaker 3: likes to play five, out especially a team that likes
Speaker 3: to PLAY iso. BALL i think they need as much
Speaker 3: space as. Possible and If Andre drummond is going to
Speaker 3: come be their center after he gets bought out by
Speaker 3: The Cleveland cavaliers because he wasn't, moved there's other teams
Speaker 3: that are rumored to want. Him BUT i am worried
Speaker 3: that you Lose tys and you can Bring drummond to
Speaker 3: be a bit of a. Clogger they're just there's not
Speaker 3: enough plungers to Get Andre drummond out of that lane
Speaker 3: on that. Team i'm worried about what this future looks
Speaker 3: like because why are you bringing In Andre Drummond if
Speaker 3: he does come. IN i Know i'm jumping ahead, here
Speaker 3: but you Lose, tys who is a glue guy in
Speaker 3: the defensive. End even though their defense is dropped, Off
Speaker 3: Andre drummond is not going to solve. That even if
Speaker 3: he is the best rebounder in, history as people want to,
Speaker 3: say he's not solving their defense and even on the offensive,
Speaker 3: end he's. Fine but at the same, TIME i don't
Speaker 3: think it's gonna make them much. Better SO i think
Speaker 3: they're they're definitely gonna go hard At drummond once he
Speaker 3: does get bought, out because The Daniel tice move just
Speaker 3: doesn't make a lot of sense to. Me why they
Speaker 3: got thinner there because they can't Play Robert williams a
Speaker 3: ton at. Center they. Can't he can't stay on the.
Speaker 3: Floor he has problems. Defensively that's why they've dropped off
Speaker 3: on the defensive end as well as their their locker.
Speaker 3: Room SO i understand, that you, know THERE'S i am
Speaker 3: jumping ahead and Saying Andre drummonds is gonna be In,
Speaker 3: boston but in a, Vacuum tys weaving is an. Issue
Speaker 3: SO i DON'T i don't know how this team decides
Speaker 3: that we're gonna Get we're gonna we're gonna come together
Speaker 3: and get. BETTER i JUST i just don't see it
Speaker 3: happening right. Now But i'm happy to Having fournia hit some,
Speaker 3: shots LIKE i don't know if he can be their
Speaker 3: glue BUT i don't. KNOW i JUST i JUST i
Speaker 3: just don't don't see it happening right.
Speaker 1: Now, well what do you think about The Celtics trey
Speaker 1: what they did yesterday and then moving? Forward they're a
Speaker 1: weird team right. Now it's a weird.
Speaker 4: Team AND i don't THINK i actually gave a grade
Speaker 4: on yesterday's, Show but this would be an incomplete to
Speaker 4: me Because i'm with you. TASK i like The fourgnier
Speaker 4: move for two second round. PICKS i think that's a
Speaker 4: fair bench, piece a little depth to add there on the.
Speaker 4: Wing but he's another shooter they. Lost tys started seventeen
Speaker 4: playoff games for him last, year which is an odd
Speaker 4: move to make when you're a team that's kind of
Speaker 4: struggled with big guys and you've struggled. Defensively to trade
Speaker 4: one of the guys who's kind of a cornerstone of
Speaker 4: the defense that you have.
Speaker 5: BUILT i thought that was.
Speaker 4: WEIRD i would much Prefer LaMarcus aldridge IF i were
Speaker 4: The celtics Over Andre, drummond just Because drummond And Robert
Speaker 4: williams give you similar types of, games Right like they're
Speaker 4: going to be putting pressure on the rim at the
Speaker 4: rim in the paint for the most, part whereas all,
Speaker 4: dry which can stretch things out a little. Bit of,
Speaker 4: Course aldridge gets to choose where he goes on the
Speaker 4: buy out, market and that continues to make The celtics
Speaker 4: a jump shooting. Team that's why if they do Get,
Speaker 4: drummond they need to have a similar conversation that The
Speaker 4: nuggets are going to be having With Aaron gordon, saying
Speaker 4: this is exactly what you need to.
Speaker 5: Do drummond does.
Speaker 4: Not roll hard enough on pick and. Rolls that would
Speaker 4: be a way that The celtics could actually put some
Speaker 4: pressure on the. Rim they never get free throw, attempts
Speaker 4: and it's not Like drummond's going to be knocking down
Speaker 4: a million free throws at the, line but he can
Speaker 4: get teams in foul trouble and then that pays off
Speaker 4: down the line when Kemball walker draws a foul Or
Speaker 4: Jason tatum draws a foul and they can actually go
Speaker 4: to the line and hit those free.
Speaker 5: Throws it just.
Speaker 4: Doesn't feel like The celtics totally addressed their biggest problems
Speaker 4: and then they made their biggest problem a slightly bigger.
Speaker 4: Problem those a weird sort of day for The, celtics
Speaker 4: which is kind of how.
Speaker 5: It goes in the deadline.
Speaker 4: Time it was not a surprise to me that a
Speaker 4: lot of trades fall apart for The celtics when the
Speaker 4: news came out That Danny ainge is often trying to
Speaker 4: trade players that are not on The. Celtics, YET i
Speaker 4: can see how that would be a problem in.
Speaker 1: Negotiations, yeah, Yeah lee are loving. This you'll love a
Speaker 1: Good danny his. Joke he was so close to getting
Speaker 1: that big.
Speaker 2: Fish they did a little, bit but not all that,
Speaker 2: much you, KNOW i think again at forty, Eight, yeah
Speaker 2: they picked him up for, nothing but.
Speaker 1: They might have him for long term plans, Too LIKE
Speaker 1: i imagine sure what they.
Speaker 2: Think, Yeah i'm not sure what their cap would look
Speaker 2: like next season because they've Got Kember brown And tatum
Speaker 2: on big, money so they won't be huge money there
Speaker 2: For evan forty. Eight but, anyway we'll. See and as
Speaker 2: far As, THYS i think he's also a victim of
Speaker 2: just the way they've been playing lately that they kind
Speaker 2: of are, like we need to change something. Here because
Speaker 2: The celtics were a very good. Team they're two games
Speaker 2: below five hundred right. NOW i think they're better than,
Speaker 2: that But i'm not sure IF i believe that.
Speaker 1: ANYMORE i don't.
Speaker 2: KNOW i think so much of it comes down To
Speaker 2: Kemba walker's health and if you can't play back to
Speaker 2: backs for them down the stretch, here that's going to be.
Speaker 2: Tough he should be fine in the playoffs because they
Speaker 2: don't tend to play those back to. Backs BUT i
Speaker 2: just think so much of it as, there AND i
Speaker 2: think That tatum and brown Particularly tatum just feeling the
Speaker 2: effects a little bit of having to carry that team
Speaker 2: a little bit. More browns being great this, season But
Speaker 2: tatum just hasn't been able to sort of quite get
Speaker 2: to that level THAT i expected him to where he
Speaker 2: started off the. Season so, yeah a bit of a
Speaker 2: weird situation there For, Boston BUT i think on, PAPER
Speaker 2: i think they are a better team than where their
Speaker 2: spot is right now in the.
Speaker 1: Standings, Okay, lee what about you for a loser from
Speaker 1: the Tree, downlaine where you want to?
Speaker 2: Go, Well i'm going with The Houston rockets because the
Speaker 2: sort of final haul For James harden is in. Now
Speaker 2: obviously there's some draft picks which we'll get to in a,
Speaker 2: sect but the personnel is that they've gotten in return
Speaker 2: now Is Avery, Bradley Kelly, Olinik dante Exem, Ruy Don.
Speaker 2: Kudrus and then they've got four first round, picks three
Speaker 2: From brooklyn and one From milwaukee For James. HARDEN i,
Speaker 2: mean those, players none of those players are significant, players
Speaker 2: are a part of The rockets serious. Future the draft,
Speaker 2: picks who knows what could happen with, THOSE i, mean
Speaker 2: we won't find out until a long time down the road.
Speaker 2: There but, ultimately For James, harden they just didn't get.
Speaker 2: Enough and you, know they tried to re Sign Victor.
Speaker 2: Oladepot they wanted to keep him. There they offered him
Speaker 2: the two year extension. There he turned that. Down they
Speaker 2: would have been better off Keeping Carus, lvert BUT i
Speaker 2: guess they felt that Ola, depot you, know they could
Speaker 2: have convinced him to. STAY i guess that's the only
Speaker 2: reason why they traded him in the end To. Indiana
Speaker 2: so when you look at the Way James harden is
Speaker 2: playing right, now and obviously that's different to the way
Speaker 2: he played his way out Of, houston but it's not
Speaker 2: much of a return. Really you, know those draft picks are,
Speaker 2: potential but you just won't see, though you won't be
Speaker 2: able to cash in on those for a few years
Speaker 2: because they're down the. Road now there's some pick swaps as,
Speaker 2: well so there is some you, know you, know they
Speaker 2: don't even con, exactly but ultimately they didn't get one
Speaker 2: significant like girl Just alexander going To Oklahoma City, Thunder
Speaker 2: like When Paul george got, traded The thunder have got
Speaker 2: a legit piece moving. Forward who could be a part of,
Speaker 2: there who will BE i expect a part of their.
Speaker 2: Future The rockets didn't get any of. That and even
Speaker 2: on the. DEPOT i, mean he was a risk any,
Speaker 2: way and you, know the questionable about just how good
Speaker 2: he could have. Been but now they don't even get. Him,
Speaker 2: so you, Know Avery, bradley we talked about enough about
Speaker 2: that side from the, heat they gave up, nothing so
Speaker 2: ultimately not a good.
Speaker 1: Return you're just kicking The rockets while they're down until
Speaker 1: you do.
Speaker 2: IT i mean KIND i mean because when we first
Speaker 2: saw the traders like all those draft, picks and you,
Speaker 2: know BECAUSE i think they're unprotected too From, Brooklyn so you,
Speaker 2: know there's like let's Say brooklyn falls off the, map
Speaker 2: then maybe they do turn into something but when you
Speaker 2: just look at those, names you, know Kou routs and Obviously.
Speaker 2: DANTE i, mean you, know there's just nothing. There if
Speaker 2: you're A rockets fanily you're, like, well he's the, Piece
Speaker 2: he's the key piece in this. Trade those, guys all
Speaker 2: four of those guys THAT i, mentioned could very well
Speaker 2: not even be on The rockets roster next, season maybe
Speaker 2: not even the finishing this. Season so, ultimately you're just
Speaker 2: getting draft picks For James harden unprotected first four of. Them,
Speaker 2: man some pick, swops, fine but you know.
Speaker 1: You're gonna pray that something goes drastically wrong put the
Speaker 1: nets there and over the next couple of, years and,
Speaker 1: yeah you're you're getting like a super high pick. Here, Otherwise,
Speaker 1: yeah what do they? Have christian one and they've Got
Speaker 1: they took a flyer On Kevin Porter, junior WHICH i
Speaker 1: think was, smart, yeah to get him from The, Cavs BUT.
Speaker 2: I mean that's. It they got more out of him
Speaker 2: really for what did they give up for? Him a
Speaker 2: second round? Pick? Yeah, YEAH i think.
Speaker 1: So, YEAH i mean the cops were doing anything to
Speaker 1: get off the. Base yeah, Yeah, yeah it's rough if
Speaker 1: you're A Houston rockets. FAN i would assume right now
Speaker 1: you're just hoping for the ping pong balls to fall
Speaker 1: your way there tasks anything to Add would you you
Speaker 1: agree With? Lee would you include them there on their hall,
Speaker 1: there especially For. Ladipo, yeah when you.
Speaker 3: Look back for. Sure when we did our emergency podcast
Speaker 3: after The James harden, TRADE i initially thought all those
Speaker 3: draft picks are, nice you, know you GET i got
Speaker 3: a little too bogged down with, that and until a
Speaker 3: little Two bogdanovic down with that and not with the
Speaker 3: value that they got. Back and if it Was Kris
Speaker 3: LeVert rather Than Victor, oladipo, yep all would be.
Speaker 6: Good and so.
Speaker 1: We were saying at the time of that, trade.
Speaker 3: You, Did, yeah you. DID i, didn't.
Speaker 1: Don't you still don't get. IT i think they just
Speaker 1: saw the possibility of signing A ladipo and having somewhat
Speaker 1: of a Former All star. There, yeah, Yeah AND.
Speaker 6: I guess they didn't do their.
Speaker 3: Homework AND i Mean vic is NOT i guess he
Speaker 3: didn't want to be there number one and number. Two
Speaker 3: he hasn't looked the. Same So, karrislivert he's hitting game
Speaker 3: winners for The pacers right. Now they're going to him
Speaker 3: at the end of the. Games, yeah it would be
Speaker 3: nice if they had to pair along with those draft
Speaker 3: Picks Karris slivert and things would be a lot, different, because,
Speaker 3: Yeah kuruks And Dante, exum they just ain't doing. It
Speaker 3: maybe they can package a couple of those picks for
Speaker 3: a star at some, Point maybe they can move up
Speaker 3: in this. Draft you, Know i'm just trying to be
Speaker 3: positive because there's no way they got good return For
Speaker 3: James harden looking at it right, now especially if considering
Speaker 3: The nets are the picks coming. Back The nets are
Speaker 3: just they're too good and they will be for the foreseeable.
Speaker 4: FUTURE i think here's the return in The James harden.
Speaker 4: Trade The rockets are going to be the worst team
Speaker 4: in the league next year when they have their draft
Speaker 4: pick for the twenty twenty two, draft when there are
Speaker 4: gonna be a couple of really big prospects who are
Speaker 4: coming into THE. Nba this has been a move about
Speaker 4: tanking since they Traded James. Harden they brought in a
Speaker 4: first TIME, gm they brought in a first time. Coach
Speaker 4: those are both tanking kind of moves right. There they
Speaker 4: focused on picks over players the entire time, here they
Speaker 4: could have perhaps Had Ben. Simmons that's another trade that
Speaker 4: was allegedly out there for The rockets For James. Harden
Speaker 4: they didn't do that. Either they've been trying to get,
Speaker 4: bad they've been trying to stay, bad and they got worse.
Speaker 4: Yesterday SO i almost think this is a good job
Speaker 4: by The. Rockets they didn't maximize The Victor oladipo, return
Speaker 4: but maximizing the, return to me is being a worse
Speaker 4: and worse team and getting a chance at one of
Speaker 4: these guys Like Emmy baits Or Chet. HOLMGREN i can't
Speaker 4: believe one of the best players in high school basketball
Speaker 4: right now is Named Chet. Holmgren is that, son no,
Speaker 4: doubt get this guy a spot on The packers. Sideline
Speaker 4: shout out To dwayne Her happy birthday, today. Buddy but,
Speaker 4: yeah The rockets from the moment they Traded James harden
Speaker 4: has been about the next. Era this has Been Christian
Speaker 4: woods team since they signed. Him sounds like a, joke
Speaker 4: but he's their best player and he's the only guy
Speaker 4: that was ever going to be there for the.
Speaker 3: Future, yes but they were eleven and ten at one
Speaker 3: point and we, were you, know sort of salivating Over,
Speaker 3: well maybe maybe this is the redeemed team in Wall
Speaker 3: oladipo and would plus wow, yeah, wow wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cousins, well there's a GUY i hadn't thought about.
Speaker 1: Him in a. Second let's wrap this. Up i'll give
Speaker 1: you my loser from the trade. Deadline loser is harsh
Speaker 1: with all of, these let's be, honest but The lakers
Speaker 1: are a little bit of a loser for the trade.
Speaker 1: Deadline for, Me i'm a little baffled if this reported
Speaker 1: deal to Get Kyle lowry was legit and the hold
Speaker 1: up was a second year player In Taylor Horton tucker
Speaker 1: and that's why they didn't want to do. It, like
Speaker 1: if all of that is true and by most reports
Speaker 1: that's what they're, saying that's crazy to. ME i Think
Speaker 1: thht is a good. PLAYER i think he's a very solid.
Speaker 1: Player he's super. Young of, COURSE i think he's twenty years.
Speaker 1: Old he'll probably have a very long career because you,
Speaker 1: know he looks like he plays, hard gives it on both.
Speaker 1: Ends but like you Have Lebron, james you just want a,
Speaker 1: title And lowry immediately helps boost your odds of winning
Speaker 1: a back to back. Championship, Like i'm not crazy for thinking, this,
Speaker 1: right this is not The Homer Kyle lowry fan in, Me,
Speaker 1: like just especially with the injuries to your star, players
Speaker 1: absolutely helps your Chances and if you were that hung
Speaker 1: up on, again maybe they Think Horton tucker is the
Speaker 1: Next kobe for crying a. LOT i don't, know BUT
Speaker 1: i don't see, It AND i, Was i'm a little
Speaker 1: again just, baffled especially when you, consider, like, okay because
Speaker 1: you could even then Sign lowry for next.
Speaker 5: Year what's he?
Speaker 1: Want he's gonna probably want over twenty, million maybe even
Speaker 1: twenty five million for a couple of, seasons but that
Speaker 1: might even still be cheaper than paying Like shrewder and
Speaker 1: who's gonna ask for a lot of? Money has already
Speaker 1: made that clear he wants like twenty million and thinks
Speaker 1: he's worth. That and THEN Kcp SO i, Was i'm
Speaker 1: giving them a loser just because LIKE i think they
Speaker 1: could have got him and probably should have Got Kyle
Speaker 1: lowry to really help their chances to go back to. Back,
Speaker 1: Lie AM i insane for thinking?
Speaker 7: That?
Speaker 2: No and it sounds Like messija would have been. Prepared
Speaker 2: he was the one pushing that deal because he said
Speaker 2: he didn't want to Send kyle Thatr he wanted to
Speaker 2: put him into a situation that was sort of. Respectful
Speaker 2: so it sounds like The lakers were the ones who
Speaker 2: were really, like, no we're not giving him, up which
Speaker 2: is surprising because you would think The lakers would be, like,
Speaker 2: yeah we're in win now.
Speaker 1: Mode we're not in.
Speaker 2: Who cares about how Good Tyler Horton tiger might be
Speaker 2: in five. Years we need to win again this. Season
Speaker 2: and so it does seem a little off if that's the.
Speaker 2: Case but who knows exactly how these negotiations. Were But Messia,
Speaker 2: gerry he had his post trade deadline press conference and
Speaker 2: he was pretty honest about, it and he was, like you,
Speaker 2: know we weren't going to take pennies on the, dollar
Speaker 2: but we're also trying to get him to a situation
Speaker 2: that was respectful and showed how much we appreciated what
Speaker 2: we did here for. Him, so you, Know i'm Sure
Speaker 2: masai could have traded him anywhere he chose to for
Speaker 2: the most, part and just taken back anything in, return
Speaker 2: but he didn't want to do. That so The raptors Stand.
Speaker 2: Patton The LAKERS i think missed an opportunity. Here if
Speaker 2: that's the, case what do.
Speaker 1: You think taskes do they miss an opportunity if, that
Speaker 1: if that deal was actually a, legit.
Speaker 3: It's almost unbelievable that that would be the return to
Speaker 3: Get Kyle lowry and they wouldn't pull it off if
Speaker 3: that was. It if it was Just Taylor Horton, TUCKER.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 3: KNOW i, mean you guys tell, me Because i'm not
Speaker 3: so well versed In Taylor Horton tucker's his potential Is.
Speaker 4: Blinka thinks he's a ten Time All, star, right Legendary illinois.
Speaker 1: Boy, YEAH i mean it's. GOOD i like, him as you,
Speaker 1: Said but if, yeah if that's the hold up in
Speaker 1: a Potential lowery, DEAL i can't believe. It you have
Speaker 1: a third star to add to your two guys when
Speaker 1: they come. BACK i mean you're you're the, favorites maybe
Speaker 1: already still despite the injuries and maybe where you fall
Speaker 1: in the standings because you Have lebron And. AD i,
Speaker 1: mean then you're with a. Bang you're the favorites to
Speaker 1: come out of The. WEST i think if you had
Speaker 1: a Healthy lowry to the, MIX.
Speaker 4: I would have even liked Seeing lowry playing alongside Just
Speaker 4: Anthony davis When davis comes, back that would have been
Speaker 4: a great way to spend the tide Until lebron is
Speaker 4: fully healthy and take a little bit of the playmaking
Speaker 4: duties off both of those.
Speaker 5: Guys show there's because.
Speaker 4: Lowry Anthony davis running that pick and roll would have
Speaker 4: been pretty unstoppable for a one to two punch that
Speaker 4: you never would have. Expected, so, yeah you gotta wonder
Speaker 4: Does Taylor Horton tucker go down on the list of
Speaker 4: very weirdly protected young players along the lines Of Rodrik
Speaker 4: beaubois AND Jj, hickson guys who were not moved because
Speaker 4: they were young and promising but never totally fulfilled that.
Speaker 4: Promise and it's, like maybe The cavs should have.
Speaker 7: Done The Amari staudamier trade way back When, wow how
Speaker 7: many guys have been possibly traded to be A Lebron james.
Speaker 5: Guy, weird.
Speaker 1: Weird, yeah it's a great point with some of those.
Speaker 1: Names so we'll see maybe they know something we don't.
Speaker 3: Know IN.
Speaker 1: Thht you, Know lakers fans love. THEM i get. IT
Speaker 1: i think there are some that are. HAPPY i Saw
Speaker 1: Silver screen And, roll Great lakers, blog you, know talking
Speaker 1: about like maybe we did blow this, like maybe we
Speaker 1: missed an opportunity here to get an Available lowry and
Speaker 1: again could even still then sign him for next. Year
Speaker 1: we'll see how it chakes. Up those are our trade
Speaker 1: deadline winers and. Losers let's hear from you guys in
Speaker 1: the stream team from me on the YouTube. Comments tweet
Speaker 1: at us at no dunk sink who did we? Miss
Speaker 1: can't get to all the, teams of, course and all the,
Speaker 1: deals but let us know which ones you'd like to
Speaker 1: talk about in the comments there all, right tasks ten
Speaker 1: for worst of the, week ladies and.
Speaker 3: Gentlemen the worst of the, week, well the worst of
Speaker 3: the week undoubtedly is The Los Angeles. Lakers we just
Speaker 3: talked about. It did you hear they could have Had
Speaker 3: Kyle lowry's caboose for the next few years that boost
Speaker 3: does not break. Down he would have been healthy going
Speaker 3: into Third it was kind of under the. RADAR i
Speaker 3: actually it was his. Birthday Was Kyle lowry's?
Speaker 6: Birthday, yeah, yeah that was.
Speaker 3: STRANGE i don't, know you, know we talked About Kyle lowry's.
Speaker 3: Name must have been said on this show and on
Speaker 3: what you need to know probably a Thousand, OKAY i
Speaker 3: don't know a lot of, times maybe not a, thousand
Speaker 3: but a lot of times over the next last four.
Speaker 3: Days and we didn't talk about his birthday. Anyway, whatever
Speaker 3: he's thirty, five AND i think The lakers made a.
Speaker 3: Mistake so did The. Sixers they probably didn't have enough
Speaker 3: and so did The. Heat either, way they're not worse
Speaker 3: of the.
Speaker 1: Week colin sure likes The sixers move of Getting George
Speaker 1: hill instead Of Kyle lowry for obviously what you pay, him.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah we'll see in the playoffs if that pays.
Speaker 3: OFF i get The George, hill The Kyle lowry light
Speaker 3: thing With George. Hill i'm a Huge George hill. Fan
Speaker 3: plenty of playoff, experience like one hundred and twenty playoff
Speaker 3: games in the experience. Department but if that's going to pay,
Speaker 3: off that Means Tobias harris has to be a boss
Speaker 3: in the playoffs Because.
Speaker 6: George hill's not gonna be able to take.
Speaker 3: Over he was with The bucks last year and he was,
Speaker 3: good but he's not Gonna he's not going to take
Speaker 3: over a game. Anymore it's just not going to. Happen
Speaker 3: lowry could have been that. Guy he did it in
Speaker 3: the championship. GAME i think if you want to call
Speaker 3: it a, win maybe from A Gm hollinger, PERSPECTIVE i get,
Speaker 3: It but from a winning on the basketball, floor you
Speaker 3: Need toby plus And bid Plus simmons to really come
Speaker 3: through in the. Playoffs we'll talk then right. Now candidate number, One, Okay,
Speaker 3: oh it's all you out, there because WHEN i asked

Speaker 3: nba podcast talking every day about the trade deadline when

Speaker 3: Then boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 6: Boom Oh may started.
Speaker 3: Breaking, yeah all on the last, day and nobody would
Speaker 3: splurge For Kyle.
Speaker 6: LOWRY i, MEAN i don't get.
Speaker 3: IT i understand you, wait you, wait, wait you want to.
Speaker 3: Negotiate i'm still mad about the lot. Everything, anyway candidate number,
Speaker 3: Two now this is a good debate because bo sent
Speaker 3: this one. In he Said D'angela russell for tweeting and
Speaker 3: subsequently deleting a tweet For Anthony, edwards his teammate Winning
Speaker 3: rookie of The year when news Of LaMelo ball's injury.
Speaker 3: Broke and then somebody replied to him OUR gcd and
Speaker 3: said he didn't delete the. Tweet, OH i, said, well
Speaker 3: let me check. Out, yes he did not delete the. Tweet,
Speaker 3: YEAH i didn't think he. Didn't, no he. Didn't D'angela
Speaker 3: russell Tweeted Anthony Edwards rookie of The. Year now it
Speaker 3: wasn't exactly at the same time As Lamello ball going.
Speaker 3: Down it Was Anthony edwards playing a little bit. Later
Speaker 3: but do you guys think that he should delete that?
Speaker 3: Tweet is it in?
Speaker 6: Bad?
Speaker 1: Oh? God, no you know HOW i. Feel you're gonna tweet?
Speaker 1: It leave it up at have some conviction if you
Speaker 1: want to stand behind. THAT i, MEAN i. CAN i
Speaker 1: get why people were upset, like, ooh poor, time bad.
Speaker 1: TASTE i mean because the, guy the Poor LaMelo got.
Speaker 1: Injured he was the front runner For rookie of The. Year,
Speaker 1: yeah your guy's playing well and now you're, like you,
Speaker 1: know pumping his. Bags just bad. Timing but, NO i
Speaker 1: got no problem with him not taking it, Down.
Speaker 4: Trey, yeah it's just the timing that's a little, off
Speaker 4: and the phrasing of, it like if you, know if
Speaker 4: D'Angelo russell goes the full, distance it just Says Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 5: Rookie of The year to lose right.
Speaker 4: NOW i think that goes over a lot smoother if
Speaker 4: it's the next, day you, know rather than happening the
Speaker 4: very same basically at the same.
Speaker 5: Time so, YEAH i don't, KNOW i don't. Know i'm
Speaker 5: with your.
Speaker 4: Skeets don't delete, it back it, up and a player
Speaker 4: supporting their, teammates it's hard to get upset about.
Speaker 5: That it was just a little too soony for.
Speaker 2: Me you, Agree, yeah it's just the phrasing and the
Speaker 2: wording that he. Used it's like you didn't Need it's
Speaker 2: like he's dancing on the grave Of. LaMelo oh he
Speaker 2: broke his wrist.
Speaker 3: Out that's.
Speaker 2: It you're you're gonna win now because of. That Anthony
Speaker 2: edwards has a strong case, anyway regardless of what happens
Speaker 2: To LaMelo. Ball so pump up your own teammate without
Speaker 2: basically taking a dump on somebody else or enjoying somebody else's,
Speaker 2: injury because that's what it felt. Like it's, like and
Speaker 2: Why like The angelo And, LaMelo as far AS i,
Speaker 2: know don't have any, Beef like there's no history. There
Speaker 2: so just pump the size of your. Teammate that's all
Speaker 2: you need to. Do but, yeah once it's, up there's
Speaker 2: no point in deleting it because everyone's going to screenshot it,
Speaker 2: Anyway yeah and rub it in your, Face so you
Speaker 2: may as well just be, like, yeah all, right, whatever
Speaker 2: that's my. Tweet just just try to bury it in
Speaker 2: A baraget.
Speaker 1: Tweeting, yeah, exactly you've seen this Dog oh.
Speaker 6: My, god.
Speaker 3: Distraction, yeah there's D Angela russell Saying roy rookie of The.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah the the emotic the emoji there did.
Speaker 6: Not help her yawning.
Speaker 3: Emoji. YEAH i suppose it's saying another, day another twenty
Speaker 3: five From Anthony, edwards But i'm not sure you can
Speaker 3: interpret it anywhere you. Want And lee, said maybe there's
Speaker 3: there's no beef between him and The, balls but, APPARENTLY
Speaker 3: i don't, know somebody tweeted, that you, know he Wasn't
Speaker 3: he Wasn't la early on in his. Career he had
Speaker 3: the whole snitching situation, there and there was some sort
Speaker 3: of beef with older Brother. LONZO i don't know either.
Speaker 3: Way it sounds like.
Speaker 5: This is going deeper THAN i.
Speaker 3: Anticipated it's too deep either. Way Anthony edwards could be
Speaker 3: rook of the. Year it's going to be a good.
Speaker 3: Race but it's great. News LaMelo ball reevaluated and what
Speaker 3: it's going to be like three weeks pretty soon.
Speaker 2: He's potentially coming.
Speaker 3: Back, yeah so that's good.
Speaker 1: News, Okay, now don't don't count Out Tyrese haliburton in.
Speaker 1: THIS i, KNOW i Know kings are on a bit
Speaker 1: of a winning streak. Yourself, YEAH i was, Kidding, no it's.
Speaker 3: True i'm being a bit of a D'Angelo. Russell i'm just, saying,
Speaker 3: Yeah LaMelo Or Anthony, edwards it's two dog. Race you,
Speaker 3: Know i'm dismissing everybody else But James wiseman is starting
Speaker 3: the rest of the. Season how many guys are at
Speaker 3: The rookie of The year table right? Now the conversation
Speaker 3: you know?
Speaker 5: What bring in.
Speaker 7: There's got delivers the flower, Right, yes Every williams is
Speaker 7: the guy that shows up at the dinner table asking
Speaker 7: you if you want to buy any roses to give
Speaker 7: to the other people sitting.
Speaker 5: There that's his job at this at THIS mb Or
Speaker 5: rookie of The year.
Speaker 3: Table that's good comment From brad the bandit. There This
Speaker 3: rookie of The race year or The rookie of The
Speaker 3: year race is Over Curtains. Halliburton, Okay so candidate number,
Speaker 3: three this is a, stretch definitely a, stretch And i'm
Speaker 3: giving it to all of us for not talking About
Speaker 3: Luke canards beautiful Euro step and Three, ball the two
Speaker 3: things of the modern era That i'll probably remember the
Speaker 3: most of the three, ball of course and The. Eurostep
Speaker 3: this guy did him both on the same play on
Speaker 3: a special.
Speaker 1: Night hold on you're giving us worst of the week
Speaker 1: because we didn't talk about.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 1: LUCKY i mentioned.
Speaker 4: THIS i mentioned eurostep to half court heave at the
Speaker 4: end of the third. Quarter eight for eight shooting in
Speaker 4: the second, Half Luke, canard The, nard No Arren. Man
Speaker 4: what a comeback by these.
Speaker 5: Guys, yes worse than the link to you to, ME
Speaker 5: i missed.
Speaker 3: IT i missed. It, yeah there's there's some good fake
Speaker 3: stats to come out of, that Because lukenard didn't play
Speaker 3: the first. Half he was eight for eight in the second.
Speaker 3: Half the first guy to go perfect with under twenty
Speaker 3: minutes shooting four to three pointers or something something. Serious, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah like he had like multiple threes under twenty minutes
Speaker 3: going perfect from the floor. SOMETHING i think it was four.
Speaker 3: Threes but, yeah, yeah The nard. Dog i'm happy for,
Speaker 3: him and so yeah he got, that he got that
Speaker 3: euro step in. THERE i just WANT i want him
Speaker 3: to be good for This clippers, too BECAUSE i, want you,
Speaker 3: know Whether rondo really plays a huge. FACTOR i Think
Speaker 3: Luke canard could if he if he gets into, it
Speaker 3: if he becomes a little bit more. Aggressive apparently after that,
Speaker 3: game he went into the locker room and they drenched
Speaker 3: him with water because he went eight for, eight so
Speaker 3: it was a big sell because he works. Hard BUT
Speaker 3: i don't know he's Been he's been a sort of
Speaker 3: one of those uh enigmas these last couple of, years
Speaker 3: like is he? Good is he not? Good if he's
Speaker 3: in this, role will he be? Good and he hasn't
Speaker 3: taken the reins with The. Clippers but right now they're playing.
Speaker 3: Okay and they brought over another jerk In Rujon, rondo
Speaker 3: SO dbd with Those Los Angeles. CLIPPERS i KNOW i was.
Speaker 6: STRETCHING i was stretching it With, canard but had to
Speaker 6: get him in.
Speaker 4: There that's all, Right James, long pretty good comment here
Speaker 4: in the stream team he, SAYS i Makes skeets And
Speaker 4: tray two time worse than the week.
Speaker 5: Winners oh my, god in the same. Month it's been
Speaker 5: a tough month For skeets And.
Speaker 1: Trade. Yeah, wow we'll just getting buried here in this.
Speaker 1: SEGMENT i just. Checked The clippers got a nice win
Speaker 1: last night against The spurs with missing a lot of
Speaker 1: their guys Like No kawai and a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: other guys weren't playing in this. ONE i Guess morris
Speaker 1: And abaca and stuff like. That Luke canard off the
Speaker 1: bench twenty five, minutes two for, seven five, points minus
Speaker 1: four plus minus out. There so it didn't contribute a whole.
Speaker 1: Bunch But Terence man helping on the glass twelve.
Speaker 3: Boards that, name it's not.
Speaker 1: Bad, yeah And Reggie. JACKSON ok, again is.
Speaker 3: That Luke canard the first guy to go two of
Speaker 3: five With Kawhile sergebaka not in the. Life that was
Speaker 3: a nice moment. THOUGH i don't know if you guys
Speaker 3: saw a Postgame Terrence man his press, conference he pulled
Speaker 3: out Rush On rondo's basketball card that he's had in
Speaker 3: his wallet since he was in middle. School.
Speaker 1: Apparently, Wow, OH i DIDN'T i didn't see.
Speaker 3: That rondo coming over to play with The. Clippers, yeah,
Speaker 3: APPARENTLY i guess somebody compared him To ronto or some
Speaker 3: or so he got the card and then he had
Speaker 3: the best game he. Got he made the eight. Team
Speaker 3: he called it he made some team in high.
Speaker 6: School and then he said he would never ever let it.
Speaker 3: Go it's a good luck charm for. Him so he
Speaker 3: pulled it out and showed it to the. Camera pretty.

Speaker 1: yeah killing as the devil in. That, okay nice little
Speaker 1: twist there to tweety pick the. Results it was The
Speaker 1: Philly lakers. GAME a lot of us took l a to,
Speaker 1: cover you, know as the dogs here plus four and a.
Speaker 1: Half But philly got it. Done it got real close
Speaker 1: at the. End you, know we were watching it sort
Speaker 1: of half assed and happy hours like they might back
Speaker 1: to our cover.
Speaker 3: Here But.
Speaker 1: Lee the only correct one with that.
Speaker 2: Pick good, job, mate And simmons free throws sealed.
Speaker 1: It, yeah big win for you, too because you are
Speaker 1: now tied with tasks for a second. Last i'm seven to.
Speaker 1: Night i'm coming up in the. Rear trey's, fine he's
Speaker 1: ten and. Six BUT i, mean how many days are
Speaker 1: left here In march because of the weekend we got

Speaker 5: Days, yeah But i'm not out of the clear UNLESS
Speaker 5: jd starts picking for me.
Speaker 1: Again it's, True it's true you are not out of
Speaker 1: the clue, yet BUT i really need to gain a
Speaker 1: game on Either lee Or. Test but what's our what's?
Speaker 1: Our what do we pick it from tonight.
Speaker 3: Test let's stick with The lakers because it's it's difficult
Speaker 3: picking their. Games they're at home and now they're the.
Speaker 3: Favorite there are four and a half point dogs last.
Speaker 3: Night they're now five and a half point favorites against
Speaker 3: The Cleveland cavaliers because they're coming to. Town but the
Speaker 3: calves thresh off of win over The Chicago. Bulls but
Speaker 3: The lakers obviously still. Depleted although you, know we will
Speaker 3: get Some Anthony davis news. Soonish he's being re, evaluated but,
Speaker 3: yeah they don't obviously don't have him Or lebron Or
Speaker 3: Kyle lowry for this. Game So lakers five and a
Speaker 3: half point favorites against The. Cavs skiz starts up as it's.
Speaker 1: TOUGH i have no reed on. THIS i don't know
Speaker 1: what to expect from The, Lakers like this would be,
Speaker 1: Bad like they have two win games. HERE i think
Speaker 1: this one and there's another fairly easy. Team but if
Speaker 1: they don't win, these there's we'll be talking On monday
Speaker 1: about The panics setting in for The lakers and then
Speaker 1: maybe you, know falling in the playoff race or in.
Speaker 1: STANDING i should, say oh, yeah like how long Is
Speaker 1: lebron gonna be out and all. That but all that,
Speaker 1: said this is The cleveland Clevi cavaliers were talking. About,
Speaker 1: here give me The lakers five and a. Half it
Speaker 1: is a weird. LINE i don't. Like it's a little
Speaker 1: too big for My.
Speaker 3: Laking but, yeah sure that's up ten point swing from
Speaker 3: one night to the interesting. Stuff, tray what do you?
Speaker 5: GOT i like the calves on this.
Speaker 4: One back to back for The lakers In cleveland might
Speaker 4: be looking like a second half.
Speaker 5: Spoiler here three wins in their last.
Speaker 4: Five they beat The, Celtics, raptors And, bowls all teams
Speaker 4: that are better than, them catching people by.
Speaker 5: SURPRISE i think a little bit.
Speaker 7: Here, yeah it is.
Speaker 2: Is it is a bit of a tough, one BUT
Speaker 2: i just think The lakers have got enough in them
Speaker 2: to cover that. Line what is it five and a?

Speaker 2: is by six. PRECISELY i don't know the Ca, Yeah
