Speaker 1: It's Jerome Chang.

Speaker 1: going live one hundred times for all we know. But

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: let's jump into the big deal from last night. A

19
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: few days after Kyrie was traded to the Mavericks, his

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: superstar teammate in Brooklyn is headed to the Western Conference too.

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Everybody wants the head west. Late last night, while all

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: the no donkeys were snuggled up in their beds.

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 3: I've never wanted to live on the West Coast more

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: than last night. You'll wait for this thing.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Phoenix Suns acquired Kevin Durant in a blockbuster deal.

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 4: This is a block thank you.

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: I just wanted to confirm with this ant Man and Wasp. Yes,

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: the three teamer earlier last night, that was black Adam,

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: this one is ant Man. So Katie and TJ. Warren

30
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: head to the desert in exchange four Nickilebridges, Cam Johnson, J. Crowder,

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: four first round picks we're talking twenty three, twenty five,

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty nine, and a twenty twenty eight pick Swamp. Hello.

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Let's break it down. Well, first off, tell me how

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: you found out this morning. Was it just as simple

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: as rolling over? Do you check your phone right away

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: in bed? I know it's not healthy, but do you do?

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: It depends on the day. Usually I do, and surprisingly

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: today I didn't. Surprisingly it took me until after a

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: pee to actually check my phone, which is surprising for me.

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: But luckily it was after the pee, so it didn't

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: go everywhere. I was startled to see Kevin Durant. Wow,

42
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: I guess you can actually buy into a guy leaving

43
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: the bench Monday night and then not being there on Tuesday.

44
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: He wanted to go you kept yeah, but James Jones,

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: seemingly reading all the reporting and Adrian Wilji and Rescue's

46
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: reporting on ESPN, didn't want to do it. Didn't want

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: to include Michael Bridges. But Matt Ishbia, the new owner

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: of the Phoenix Suns, who just had his introductory press

49
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: conference yesterday Wednesday, we walked in her. Yes yesterday, he

50
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: walked in and said, just keep calling, keep calling. Last night,

51
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: give Shawn Marks one more call, and he was very

52
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: comfortable including Michel Bridges, which was the sticking point. James

53
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: Jones didn't want to move him. This is the best

54
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: trade we possibly could have gotten from here because from

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 3: this perspective, because we've got the Phoenix Suns obviously going

56
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: for it and the Brooklyn Nets getting as much as

57
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: they possibly could in terms of draft capital. And I

58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: think the level of player with mckel Bridges. Yeah, going

59
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: back to the preseason, it was Jalen Brown sort of

60
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: the top echelon type player that they get back or

61
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: mckel bridges or the ogn and ob type chatter. So

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: this is peak stuff right here. And and I think

63
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: the Phoenix suns. I think it's easy to forget that

64
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: Devin Booker just came back.

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

66
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: They have got to feel very, very good about their

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: chances this year. And they've got a Durant and a

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: Booker for four playoff runs. I think you could you

69
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: can pencil them in for you know, the favorite in

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: the Western Conference next year, I'd say, but you could

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: even say it this year. If you say it this year,

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I wouldn't think you're crazy.

73
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh, good team, they have good five. I mean they're

74
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: a little thin obviously after trading some guys. But is

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: this just the classic case here TK of new owner

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: have itch, let's do it like this. This is wild.

77
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: The timing of Ishbia coming in here and saying get

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: me Kevin Durant, I said, get me Kevin Durant. Go

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: get Kevin Durant. Now there's been rumors obviously these teams

80
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: linked for a while, but I guess it was that

81
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: the bridges hold up and they crossed it.

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: Matt said, not a bridge is too far.

83
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 5: It is a little bit of new owner syndrome, but

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: it's also a huge part of smart owner syndrome.

85
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: He traded for Kevin Durant.

86
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 5: It's not like he's making a big, splashy deal for

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving, which would be a huge risk. This is

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 5: a new championship contender. I think the Suns were done

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 5: this season. Prior to this trade. I didn't think they

90
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 5: had the championship team in him. With Chris Paul taking

91
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 5: another little half step back, a little bit of rama

92
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 5: with DeAndre Ayton, Booker was out of the lineup, the

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: team fell apart, and they were still pretty shallow before

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 5: this trade. They're gonna be shallow right now until they

95
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: pick up random buyout guys.

96
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: Mellow sure, sure, yeah, why not Mellow?

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 5: Any old guy you can think of, Hassan white Side,

98
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 5: maybe John Wall somehow ends up there there.

99
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

100
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 5: If you made an All Star team five seasons ago,

101
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: you could probably find your way to the Phoenix Suns

102
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 5: if you really want to. But trading for Kevin Durant,

103
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: huge move, smart move. He's under contract, he's great. The

104
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 5: only concern really is injuries, because he's missed a chunk

105
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 5: of time this season, last season and going back to

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: his first season with the Nets and with the Warriors.

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 5: Obviously you're counting on sixty games and for him to

108
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 5: hopefully be healthy come playoff time. But I'm with Tass.

109
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: I think this at least puts him in the upper

110
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 5: echelon of the Western Conference. And maybe I'm gonna hold

111
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 5: out just a little bit to actually see him on

112
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 5: the court together, but I think that they could easily

113
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 5: be the championship favorite coming out of the West.

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I guess why I'm slightly in hold mode is

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: because of what happened with the Brooklyn Nets last year.

116
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: I was comfortable saying those dudes are the favorites, but

117
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: I think this is an entirely different locker room. Kevin

118
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: Durant has got that relationship with Many Williams, Devin Booker

119
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 3: is healthy, and I basically your one question what Phoenix

120
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: Suns is. Is Kevin Durant too old or is he injured?

121
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: And he's had two guys fall into his legs the

122
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: last two seasons. That's what's happened. He's thirty four, I

123
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: get it, but really I'm comfortable with this. The injury

124
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: history again, four playoffs under contract, twenty six with him

125
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: and Devin Booker. I think he's healthy and obviously I'm.

126
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: And DeAndre Eaton is under a long term contract as well, exactly.

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: I mean, so so yeah, you say, you say, yeah,

128
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 3: they have a big four and they're a little thin.

129
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 3: They're thin at the small forward position. There's no doubt

130
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: those four guys are starting. You're starting with Paul and

131
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 3: Booker and Durant and Ayton Tory Craig, Josha Kozy or

132
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: you're probably your starting small forwards. I think we kind

133
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: of undervalue Kevin Durant's defense. He is an MVP candidate

134
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: this season. If the Nets, you know, played a little

135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: bit better to start like, he is one of the

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: best players in the game. Devin Booker is an All

137
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: NBA player. If they're all healthy, them and the Nuggets

138
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: are the two best teams in the Western Conference. And

139
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: if they're all healthy in they're in a series, who

140
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: you taking, I'm probably taking the Suns. You know, if

141
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: they're again all healthy and they still probably can make

142
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: a move. They got Dario sarz Is expiring and some

143
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: other little little moves there. But you know, they got

144
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: to keep Jock Landale. That's pretty cool so that.

145
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: They didn't even assume he was gonna get mentioned.

146
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: That's exciting. It is exciting. Yeah, they are a little

147
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: thin for sure, but not that.

148
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Then it's a ballsy, ballsy move. It is Kevin Durant,

149
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: but I alas love that they're going for it. Obviously

150
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: they're looking at the Western Conference, like, you know, standings layout,

151
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: where they are even like we're talking like the Suns

152
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: have had like the worst season of all time.

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: No way, and they have.

154
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: It's been bad by their standards from the last two years,

155
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: obviously going to the finals two years ago, sixty four wins,

156
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: last year before that Game seven flame out against the MAVs,

157
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: and then this year, yes, struggling to find their way.

158
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: The Booker injury was out for a good chunk of time.

159
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: But they're like, they're right there in the Western Conference

160
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: standing what are they fifth right now? Basically tied for fourth.

161
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: I think with your Dallas Mavericks, who've got Kyrie and

162
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: he played last night, Man, what a night. You could

163
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: have scored eighty points last night, no one would have cared.

164
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that'll be like the tenth thing we talk

165
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: about here today.

166
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: I think they have a decent enough locker room, like

167
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: they were first in the West in early December, and

168
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 3: then Devin Booker got her. Their best player got hurt. Yeah,

169
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 3: and so Chris Paul's you know, age and breaking down

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: is definitely a worry to some degree, but now him

171
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: as the third fourth guy, You're fine with it for

172
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: this year, and the worries are going forward after that

173
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: with Chris Paul. But you gotta feel damn good. I

174
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: know they're gonna miss mckel bridges. He's kind of their

175
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: heart of their team, and Cam Johnson as well. So

176
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: Suns fans gotta be hurt, ye, just because they're their

177
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 3: boys are gone. But I think they'll get over Kevi.

178
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant puts on a jersey, best player they've ever had.

179
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe just the nets timeline of what's happened

180
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: over the last like three and a half years, Like

181
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: it'll do your head in when you think about what's gone.

182
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: On July twenty nineteen, they signed Kyrie Irving. Soon after that,

183
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant is acquired from the Warriors in a sign.

184
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: And trade injured.

185
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: A couple years after that, they acquire James Harden from

186
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: the Rockets February twenty twenty two. He's traded to the

187
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Semi six Ers. Is when they start to build it

188
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: down three years sort of, to build it up two

189
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: hours really, and then it just starts ripping down. Here

190
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: in two years, hard And traded to the Semi six

191
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: Ers February sixth, obviously of twenty three. Kyrie traded to

192
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: the MAVs, and then last night call it today, Kevin

193
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: Durant traded to the Suns Holy Moldy to like acquire

194
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: three MVP like guys, three Hall of famers, put them

195
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: all together in the span of again like a three

196
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: year window to your window, and then to blow it

197
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: up in a year. And man, I felt bad for

198
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: my godson. He turned into a Nets fan, his father,

199
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: My buddy Grish, your buddy Grish, our buddy Grish. He

200
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: bought them three jerseys bottom of heart in nets jersey

201
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: bottom a Kyrie nets jersey, bottom of Durant nets jersey.

202
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: God.

203
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: I hope you did that with the AMEX.

204
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: No, it's too late. I was just I was just

205
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: reporting that news here to the studio before you got here.

206
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: It's outside the X window fourteen months ago. It's gotta

207
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: be twelve months to get the insurance.

208
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy.

209
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if he bought the extended insurance that

210
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: doesn't exist.

211
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: Three jerseys you can throw out or at least give

212
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: good to goodwill or something.

213
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking about the express insurance. We're talking about

214
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 3: matt Ishbia giving out a mortgage rate to the Nets.

215
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good mortgage rate.

216
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: So do you think then what you were saying Durant

217
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: leaving the bench after the everything, like so Durant went

218
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: to them, went to uh Joe Siah and said, okay,

219
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: get me out of here too, right. Otherwise we were

220
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: like sitting here going okay, they traded Kyrie, all right,

221
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: you get off that headache, get some nice pieces back.

222
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's not crazy, but like there's something there

223
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: to pack, you know, put around Kevin Durant. There's some

224
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: defensive minded guys there, and instead, you know, two days later,

225
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: he's gone, well, I.

226
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 5: Mean, obviously they must have had some sort of a

227
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: chat about it, but I also think it's probably you know,

228
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 5: the Nets get the offer from the Suns and they're

229
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: like four first round picks and a swap. We're trading

230
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 5: a thirty four year old guy who has injury problems

231
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 5: to a team that has had injury problems the entire season.

232
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: And the Bridge is part of it. Who you know

233
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: could be in You don't think Bridges could be an All

234
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: Star in this sleep?

235
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: Uh maybe if his team has sixty wins and he's

236
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 5: the third guy, that's good. I mean, he's fine, he's

237
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 5: fine to me. But I would trade Michale Bridges for

238
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant one hundred times out of one hundred, even

239
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: if Bridges ends up being a.

240
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: Three time also.

241
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, I actually don't know that they'll hang around

242
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 5: on the nets either, because why why at this point

243
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: all they.

244
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: Have is three and D wings.

245
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: They got a lot of them.

246
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's basically all they got is wings who played three,

247
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 5: three and D. But I kind of think it's like,

248
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 5: I don't know. I didn't think that Kevin Drank would

249
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 5: get traded this year.

250
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: I thought it would take too much negotiation and just

251
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 4: to be a lot easier to do.

252
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 5: But the Sons had a ton of picks. They had

253
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 5: youngish players, and that's exactly what you're looking for in

254
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 5: a deal for somebody who may at the very least

255
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 5: be unhappy in the future. We know it was unhappy

256
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 5: in the past in the introim who knows. So a

257
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 5: good job by the Nets, I think to be able

258
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 5: to get back players and to be able to get

259
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 5: back these picks and maybe still make moves going forward.

260
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 5: I just don't think that they are a team to

261
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 5: worry about going forward this season. I mean, maybe they'll

262
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 5: hang out in in the play in tournament, but I

263
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 5: think they'll drop pretty far down the standings.

264
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: It sounds like they're going to try and move Crowder

265
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: here too, to a possible contender before the deadline ends

266
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: at three pm today. Keep forgetting that it's today.

267
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: They did as best as they could. I think the

268
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 3: Nets front office, even going back to the summer, was

269
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: thinking about let's just blow this thing up to some

270
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: degree with Kevin Durant and so I don't even know

271
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: if they talked in the last forty eight hours, they've

272
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: been thinking about it. They were kind of in this

273
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: mindset before the season with Josiah and Sean Marks where

274
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: they were just upset with the direction of the team,

275
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: with the attitude of the team, and so I think

276
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: that's carried over and basically that's as good as you

277
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 3: can get. Essentially, Mickel Bridges is not a number one.

278
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: I agree with trade to some degree here. He is

279
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: an ogn and ob type. If the best ability is availability,

280
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: then he's the best player in the league. The guy

281
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 3: doesn't miss it again. But guess what the best ability

282
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: is not availability. He's a very good player. He's not

283
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: a number one. You know him in the two cams.

284
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: Two cams is exciting, Cam Johnson and now Cam Thomas.

285
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: The future is here.

286
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: The cams campaign for the trade.

287
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: That's a good call. Triple cams not quite the studio.

288
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: Here we go. How many cams we got? Yeah, new

289
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: Camon Dua, I see five at least. Man We blew

290
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: the budget, but I think that is the best they

291
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: could do. They got a twenty three to twenty five

292
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 3: to twenty seven and a twenty nine from the Suns.

293
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: They don't have their own picks, so yeah, they don't

294
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: have their own future to bank up, but now they

295
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: have the Sun's future to bank on. I do think

296
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: the twenty three and twenty five pick aren't going to

297
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: be all that great. They do get the swap. As

298
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: you said, they're in twenty eight, so they're banking on

299
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: the second half of this decade, Chris Paul being gone.

300
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: Who knows what happens with Kevin Durant's age, But the

301
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: Sons have their team. I don't I don't think they're

302
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: they're moving off this until Kevin Durant becomes, you know,

303
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: a shell of himself laid in his thirties or I

304
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: I'm just comfortable saying that Kevin Durant is healthy enough.

305
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: He's bounced back. We thought he was done in when

306
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: he had that foot injury in twenty sixteen. I mean

307
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: people were questioning before he went to the Warriors. I

308
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: guess it was twenty fourteen. I'm getting my years mixed up,

309
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: But before he went to the Warriors, and so he's

310
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: bounced back, and he's bounced back after the Warriors injury.

311
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm being crazy. It's a different era.

312
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: Players are playing, you know, later into their thirties. So

313
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: I'm comfortable with the Nets taking this chance. And at

314
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: the same time, as I said off the top, the

315
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: Nets taking a chance here too, to to really tear

316
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: it up. That's why I feel so good. It feels

317
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: like both teams swinging and I'm.

318
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: Not sitting here and applauding the Brooklyn Nets.

319
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: This is f you mean for the last few year.

320
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you can put a lot of the blame

321
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: on the players, but also put some on the front office.

322
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: They brought in three again Hall of famers and won

323
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: one playoff series. It's like a good team. Yeah, right,

324
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. And Brooklyn still owes Houston their first round

325
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: picks in twenty four twenty six. Rockets have the right

326
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: to swap in twenty five twenty seven. Yeah, they got

327
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: some back here. They got I guess seven tradable first

328
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: rounders over the next seven years here in these moves

329
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: they've made sending out Kyrie and KD. But it's it's

330
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: not that's this is pretty sad. I mean, look, the

331
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: Rockets are probably happy with this deal, right because of

332
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: those picks. I just said, like, they want the Nets

333
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: to be as bad as possible moving forward here, and

334
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably be worse getting rid of Kyrie and KD.

335
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: But maybe they won't.

336
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, because they were running the overront office whatever

337
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: and all of the just the negativity and the and

338
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: the bad headlines hanging over them. Maybe they'll just feel

339
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: feel a little looser and They basically just went back

340
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: to the old Nets before they ended up trying to

341
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: build the superstar team.

342
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: Crazy crazy, but Kenny Atkins and Nets. Yeah, yeah, the

343
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: the Spencer, Dinwiddie and Nick Claxton and the Cams. Now,

344
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: you know, injuries played a factor in that super team

345
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: that didn't work out.

346
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a factor.

347
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: You gotta mention it. But yeah, the headache is gone,

348
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: and I think that was part of the the move here,

349
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 3: the Sean Marks. Let's move on. Let's uh, let's get

350
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: back to the Kenny days. It's a lot.

351
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 4: Easier when you don't have to try and win, you know.

352
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

353
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: As Utah Watson Abie tweeted this morning at eight thirty

354
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: six am, once again the one for the World. It's

355
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: it's translated from Google, but uh this this.

356
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: Is you drop it, you drop it in the Utah

357
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: in Japanese tweeted once again the Wonderful World. You think

358
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: Utah is just happy, just he's just out there now

359
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: playing ball. Thanks are feeling good.

360
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 2: You gotta assume you know what, it's the positivity you

361
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 2: needer than that after the last couple of days.

362
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, any other thoughts here on on the Sun's

363
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: Nets blockbuster deal.

364
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, yes, I do have some thoughts. Kevin

365
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: duran He's switching conferences. Did you hear Eastern Conference to

366
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 5: Western Conference? You think that makes people want to pay

367
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 5: more for an OGN ANDOBI. If you're the Denver Nuggets,

368
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 5: aren't you a little bit more like WHOA probably can't guard?

369
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant with KCP and MPJ, I think that there

370
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 5: should be teams that are calling now saying we absolutely

371
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 5: need a big time wing defender if we're going to

372
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 5: be making a run here. Because the Nuggets have been

373
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 5: in the lead in the Western Conference for quite some time.

374
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 5: They've been a team we've been talking about, probably still

375
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 5: needs to make a move because they're a little shallow

376
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 5: after their solid starting five.

377
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 4: They definitely need a defender and a big wing.

378
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 5: They've been an OG team for sure, as has Memphis,

379
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 5: ye as has the Pelicans, though they've fallen off as

380
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 5: a team and kind of it feels like a little

381
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 5: bit in the sweepstakes. But I do think this makes

382
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 5: OG even more desirable to a team like Denver or Memphis,

383
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 5: who now needs to figure out how do we deal

384
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 5: with a new MVP candidate coming to the team.

385
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you stop that team? Period? Booker is

386
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: obviously a huge problem. So those two guys, and I

387
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: know everybody just wants to say that Chris Paul is washed.

388
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 3: I mean, the guy is shooting thirty nine percent from

389
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: three this season. If he's your third best offensive player

390
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: called DeAndre ay and whatever, you just can't stop this team,

391
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: regardless of who you get. That's why they're They're gonna

392
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: be the best offense.

393
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: So do you agree with what Trey saying here that

394
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: the Nuggets and Grizzlies should be, you know, increasing their

395
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: their potential deal for an og and really trying to

396
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: go for him here with this being so open.

397
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: Totally when you're starting Michael Porter Junior, Jamal Murray, you

398
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 3: gotta worry about your defense, period. And so yeah, sure,

399
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: why the heck not to me? The West was open

400
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: at the top and Denver should be trying for whatever

401
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: they can get to try and make it happen, and

402
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: now the Suns are pushing them. Yeah, what would the

403
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: offer for og b? I don't know. I don't know

404
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: if do they have the pieces just a lot of picks.

405
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about bones. Michael Porter Junior, picks yeah, and

406
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: the Grizzly side of things. That was a long time ago.

407
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: Now that trade we had some in there. There was

408
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: like there was like pieces of you know, Zaire Williams.

409
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: There was one with Dylan Brooks, there was one without

410
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: I was trying very hard to get Desmond Bay to

411
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: the Raptors. That's not happening. But yeah, there are packages

412
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: that I think both teams could could make, though I

413
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: also don't know what the Raptors are doing now, and

414
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: we'll get to them. Bring him back Hurtle, Yeah exactly,

415
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I do think that the Nuggets and Grizzlies.

416
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: Definitely the Nuggets here with an MVP guy and Jokic's

417
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: like with what now the Sons have done, with what

418
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: the MAVs have done, do it for do it for

419
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: him as well, do it for your franchise, do it

420
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: for your fan base. Like, no, we're not going overboard here,

421
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: but like get some help, get some defensive minded guys

422
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 1: that you can at least slow some of these perimeter

423
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: guys down or at least try to, and we'll see

424
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: if they're aggressive here. It feels like bones Isiland couldn't

425
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: be traded today. Guy doesn't play anymore. So he's an

426
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: enticing young player to start a deal with to try

427
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: and get like an O G or someone else.

428
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: So I guess the price has gone down for everybody.

429
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 3: All that's all that that stuff that we were talking about,

430
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 3: the two first round picks for Yaka Purdle, all a

431
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: pile of WHOI every single player, even og An Andobi's

432
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: price coming down.

433
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 1: They wanted four at first the Mitchell package, then it

434
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: turned to three.

435
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would definitely not be three. It would definitely

436
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: not be three. I don't think bones and Michael Porter

437
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: Junior does it for Messiu Jeri. That's that's too risky.

438
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: But it's it's gonna be hard to compete with the

439
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 3: with the Suns that maybe you just wait it out

440
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: and hope they get old. But yeah, it makes sense

441
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: to to go for at some point. I think the

442
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 3: the thinness of the Sun's rotation is a bit overblown,

443
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: already eight hours into this thing, because they still do

444
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 3: have a couple of their own draft picks here. Even

445
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: though they've traded a bunch and they you know, they

446
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: they still could trade Sarcho, as I said, they could

447
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 3: make another pick swap, like when you've got those four

448
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 3: guys that we've mentioned. You gotta feel good no matter what. Yeah,

449
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 3: I think what they're doing here, I think it's a

450
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: bit overblown, just that they don't have anybody to defend.

451
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant is a pretty good defender. I mean, they've

452
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 3: got a good, very good, very very very very very

453
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 3: very very good tea.

454
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: They are banking on the health of these guys. Chris

455
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Paul and his age holding up in a playoff run. Obviously, Booker,

456
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, just hoping he's fine after his injury. And

457
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's the huge one. The guy's plays like one

458
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty games over the last three seasons or

459
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: something like that. Some of it just unfortunate guy's fallen

460
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: into them. But yeah, those three guys out there, DeAndre

461
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: Ayton is playing well. If that's your third or fourth guy,

462
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: you're good like. And this is a team that's gone

463
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: far already again disappointing last year, and everybody just laughs

464
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: at them. What a joke, But holy crap, I thank

465
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Yeah, yeah, it's wild. Seth Partner had a

466
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: fun tweet about this this morning. I thought just made

467
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: me think, is he the best player at the time

468
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: of the trade to get traded in season or who

469
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: was the last one? Even is a good way to

470
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: look at it. In season, you know, best player at

471
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: the time of the trade, hardens in the mix, exactly,

472
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: hardened to the nets. Yeah, yeah, hardened to the nets.

473
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: I would say, Jimmy Butler to the Sixers.

474
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler to the six Ers. Yeah, that's not That's

475
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: a pretty good one. Yeah, trying to think who else?

476
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 4: I mean Rashid Wallace obviously a few years, many years back,

477
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 4: nearly twenty years Backasla Lakers Palgasault to the Lakers. That

478
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 4: was a swinger robbery.

479
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: And then you're not gonna like this one. Maybe maybe Marcasus.

480
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: On this one.

481
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: Vince Carter to the Nets. He's a damn good player.

482
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: He was.

483
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was sandbagging it in Toronto, but he was

484
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: a damn good player. So as he put on the.

485
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: Nets, trat that was I was an early in season trade.

486
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: Wasn't that a December trade? You don't see that too

487
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 3: in the NBA. Yeah, December seventeenth, two thousand and four.

488
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: Also nearly twenty years ago.

489
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, but.

490
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 3: Like your godson, apparently I talked myself into Vince Carter

491
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: being traded for Eric Williams, Aaron Williams and the ghost

492
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: of Alonzo Morning, who said, no way, I'm going there.

493
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: It's cold there. We'll get to the Toronto forecast a

494
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: little bit later in the show. Did you guys, Did

495
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 3: you guys tune in for the forecast the Toronto forecast,

496
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: because we'll get to that later on in the show.

497
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 3: It's it's coming. But I talked myself into that. Your

498
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: god's apparently talking himself into the two cam and Spencer Dinwiddie.

499
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: And oh you got no choice, I mean.

500
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 3: He he, Oh, he could change teams.

501
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 4: He doesn't need to be a Nets fan anymore.

502
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be It's right. He was obviously

503
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: living in New York for a little bit, decided not

504
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: to be a Knicks fan. Jump Over was a Nets fan.

505
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: That's smart. Why not, jump Over, jump Over?

506
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Don't even just leave the Knicks. Don't be a Knicks fan.

507
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean you live in Atlanta, now, kid, I mean,

508
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: hell be a Hawks fan. You should have been a

509
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: Raptors fan. It's on his It's on his father. His

510
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: father's a team of all fan of all thirty yeah, exactly.

511
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: He screwed up kid as it is.

512
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 3: I mean he's got thirty logos on his jacket.

513
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly exactly.

514
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: But no, just I would say jump over the mckel

515
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: bridges and go over to Manhattan.

516
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: No, I respect it. I mean I want him to like,

517
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: talk yourself into a camp Thomas. Guy's on fire, talk

518
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: yourself into a Claxton.

519
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: Oh it's coming from a.

520
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: More fun team to watch, or at least cheerfour. I

521
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: should say to cheer.

522
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: Four, pain all the underdogs. You So you're saying, like

523
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: as a as a sports fan of a team that

524
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 3: had some tough times. Yeah, pain. Sports fandom misery is

525
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: sports fandom.

526
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: Course. All right, let's take a break. We do have

527
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: some more trades to dissect, so don't go anywhere. We're

528
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: back in like sixty seconds. All right, here in the

529
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: classic factory Thursday trade deadline day. If you're just joining us,

530
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: here's the big blockbuster that happened. What like one o'clock

531
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: last night, one am Eastern something like that. Again, we

532
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: were sleeping, I was cuddling my pillow. Sons received Kevin Durant,

533
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: TJ Warren nets getting back mckil bridges, Cam Johnson Jay

534
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Crowder who might be rerouted today to another team. We'll

535
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: wait to find out. Four first round picks twenty three,

536
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty seven, twenty nine, and a twenty eight

537
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: pick swap. We just did a good twenty minutes weighing

538
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: in on it. People are pumped about the Suns going

539
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: for a championship, Nets getting back a decent return. There

540
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: in two really good young players in Bridges and Camp

541
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: and then all that draft capital to try and put

542
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more in the cupboard after that hard

543
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: and trade. But let's hear your thoughts.

544
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and here's a tie in as well, our man

545
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: Esh chiming in with another big name that was traded

546
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: in season. Carmelo Anthony. We forgot about him twenty eleven,

547
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 3: was traded from the Nuggets to the Knicks. Tie in,

548
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 3: Sons could use a guy who wants a ring pick

549
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 3: and hit some shots. He's not retired, he's available, just

550
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: a depth guy more. Just hey, come on, come on over,

551
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 3: just just be a part of a champion. Carmelo Anthony.

552
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: Why not?

553
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,200

558
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: live all throughout the day with some fun stuff. Let's

559
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: put aside the blockbuster for a second and let's talk

560
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: about some of the other deals that went down last night,

561
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: and we will begin with the Portland Trail Blazers trading

562
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: Josh Hart to the Knicks in exchange for Cam Reddish,

563
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: Svee and Ryan. I'm on a first name basis with

564
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: those guys, no reason why, we're just real tight. Makay

565
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Luke and Archie Diacino. Sure, I took a chance at it,

566
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: and a twenty three first round pick that's protected, so again,

567
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: heart to the Knicks. Blazers gonna be the next team

568
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: to maybe take a flyer on Cam Reddish Spee Ryan

569
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: to make the money work. And a twenty three first

570
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: round pick which is protected and I believe it's lottery protected.

571
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: It turns into four second rounders if it doesn't convey

572
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: this year, which is a little rare for that type

573
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: of thing to happen. But anyway, thoughts thoughts on the

574
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: Knick side of things getting hard. He's the real player

575
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: in this trade.

576
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 3: He's a TIBs type of player. Yeah, he's going to

577
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 3: get out there. I don't think he starts on this

578
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: team because I think Quentin Grimes has been griming it

579
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 3: pretty well for the New York Nicks. I mean, he

580
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: is their three point shooter, just to provide space for

581
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 3: Julius Randall out there. Josh Hart has not been shooting

582
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: it as much. He fits coming off the bench though,

583
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: And it's really interesting from the Blazer side of things.

584
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: We were thinking, Oh, they're buyers coming to the trade deadline,

585
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: but this is probably a smarter move to trade something

586
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: for a first round pick, which is probably going to

587
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: convey this year. They're probably going to get it high teens. Yeah,

588
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: and a flyer on Cam Reddish. So I don't hate

589
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: it from either side. I think the Blazers shouldn't be

590
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: trying to go for it. There's a fly right there.

591
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: I take it a fly.

592
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: I was eating a banana in her in here earlier.

593
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: May have brought the fruits. I kinda don't have time

594
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: for breakfast this morning.

595
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: I like it for both sides, but yeahs TIBs and

596
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: Josh Hart.

597
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: TIBs and Josh Oh, what a perfect And.

598
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: You say that just a hard nosed guard rebounds TIBs

599
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: like guy, despite undersized, just gonna play obviously on the

600
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: defensive end.

601
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 5: Sounds sounds like you're describing Keith Bogans to me, I

602
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 5: think Josh Hart's a little better than Keith Bogans.

603
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so can handle.

604
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: He's a better rebounder. Yeah, Yeah, he's a better transition player.

605
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

606
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 4: I think it's better if you're.

607
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 5: Comparing Josh Hart specifically to Keith Bogan's a player for

608
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 5: the early twenty tens. I think this is fair from

609
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: the Knicks. They needed help on the boards. Josh Hart

610
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 5: will help there. They were a little fin on the wing.

611
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: They got they got a lot of guards, they got

612
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: a lot of big guys wing position. It's kind of grimy.

613
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 5: It's Barrett and now it's gonna be Josh Hart. So

614
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 5: I think he helps there. He doesn't help with the

615
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 5: three point shooting, but he will play hard. And I

616
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 5: mean they gave up nothing from their rotation, so I

617
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 5: think this is pretty fair. I also think the Knicks

618
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: are gonna stick in the playoffs this year, Like they've

619
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 5: won enough games at this point that it will be

620
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: surprising that they fall into the lottery.

621
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, this pick will.

622
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 5: Probably go, but it'll be one that they're fine with losing.

623
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: Middle of the first rounder kind of like that. You

624
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 5: probably would be hoping to draft a Josh Hart caliber

625
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: player at that draft slot. So I think pretty smart here,

626
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 5: assuming that the Knicks are able to come to a

627
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 5: deal with Josh Hart, because maybe you would be a

628
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 5: little sad about trading a first round or for a

629
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 5: rental on a guy who's going to be coming off

630
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 5: the bench.

631
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's probably why a part of the reason

632
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: why at least the Blazers moved off of Hard here too. Right,

633
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: he does have a player option at the end of

634
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: the season. It's almost certain he's going to opt out

635
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: of that try and earn more money. And by all reports,

636
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: the Blazers wanted to focus more on Jeremy Grant than

637
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: Josh Hart. That's sort of the pecking order there, uh

638
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: and in terms of priority, So that's a part of

639
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the reason why he's moved here. Maybe more minutes for

640
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: for sharp shading sharp there, you know, Gary Payton second,

641
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: just lets them play a little bit more as another possibility,

642
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like this for the Knicks here, and

643
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys saw the clip. Jalen Brunson, his

644
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: former Villanova teammate, He was pumped. That may have been

645
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: the most like pumped I've ever seen Jalen Brunson, absolutely right,

646
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: Like that guy is stoic, I mean on the floor

647
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: for all, from all I've seen off the floor. But yeah,

648
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: finding out uh that that that heard his buddy was

649
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: coming over to join the Knicks. He was freaking pumped up.

650
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Just cool to see.

651
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 5: That was Ryan Archie Giaco on those Villanova teams as well.

652
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 5: He was definitely on Villanova, so I imagine he was

653
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 5: a teammate.

654
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 4: But Jalen Brunson is like, he sucks Josh Hart a

655
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 4: lot better.

656
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it was just a perfect clip. It almost

657
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: seemed slightly staged because he was at like.

658
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: A Villanova Yeah right right, so that's made it even weirder.

659
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: He was wearing a Villa jacket. He got extremely pumped

660
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: that his man was coming to join him for sure. Yeah,

661
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: great moment. Also, Josh Hart was just just a note

662
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: here for all the fantasy lovers out there. Josh Hart

663
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,239
Speaker 3: was like one of those fantasy wonders at the end

664
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 3: of last season with the Blazers, he had a forty

665
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: four point game when they were extremely thin, So Keith.

666
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: When they were tanking very hard.

667
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: Keith Bogans ever have a forty four point game.

668
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't what's Bogan's career high. Somebody look it up.

669
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 5: Bogans might have had like a forty four point season.

670
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 5: That's quite possible.

671
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: Important note for the nerds out there from Fred Katz,

672
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: Fred Katz on the Boulevard. Because the Knicks own the

673
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: mavericks twenty three first rounder, and because that pick is

674
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: only top ten protected and thus extremely likely to convey

675
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: this summer, New York would still almost certainly be able

676
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: to trade its twenty four first rounder in a trade

677
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: this summer. So what does that mean? If a star

678
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: another star becomes available in the off season, new York

679
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: will have its full allotment of up to four first

680
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: rounders to trade, even though it just dealt a lot

681
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: of your protected pick here in twenty three. Good note

682
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: there from Cats. You know, if if there's a big

683
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: splashy move to get a beel or e Levine or

684
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: the Knicks like want to go that direction, they still

685
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: they still have the war chest here too, to try

686
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: and get it. I think that is important.

687
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 3: That is important. Thanks cats, Thanks cats, and I want

688
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: to on the other side the Blazers.

689
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: The Blazers, all right, that kind of day.

690
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks cats, all right, I'm good with it. And

691
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 3: then we get a quick quick me out.

692
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: Hey in the slack channel for ads, did you hit

693
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: the little like button because you own a cat? Are

694
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: you interested in a potential cat litter product to promote here?

695
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: To be honest, we need to promote right now.

696
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: Of course, of course I did you got a cat?

697
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: You got a cute little cat? Man, I hate cats,

698
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: So you got a cute little cat sushi?

699
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 3: You might eat that kid up. You might call her

700
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: a perfect kitty. I think that's the name of the product.

701
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: I think I think a right. Anyway, it's a Blazer

702
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 3: side of things. They trade. Josh Hart I like it.

703
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: You can't just sign everybody. The Blazers have to, as

704
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: we've talked about, change it up to some degree. Does

705
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: that mean usef Nurkic is gonna be dealt as well?

706
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 3: Because they're clearly sellers to some degree. I think everybody

707
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: beyond Jeremy Grant, Damian Lillard, maybe Shade and Sharp are

708
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 3: untouchable or those are those are touchable. I guess I

709
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 3: should say probably not the right word. Everybody else is credible,

710
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 3: tradable besides Lillard, Grant and maybe Shade and Sharp, everybody

711
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 3: else is tradable. I think that makes a ton of sense.

712
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: I just find the Blazer are so depressing.

713
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: Like you were high.

714
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: I was high, I was looking smart for a little while.

715
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: The defense was like, oh, okay, there's something there. That

716
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: was when they were missing Gary Payton the second start

717
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: of the season, and like they just fell off a cliff,

718
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: and I just like, what I mean is like it's

719
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: so depressing. It's like Damian Lillard is averaging thirty one

720
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: points per game. It's having an unreal year, and here

721
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: they are like gonna just be praying that you get

722
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: into a playing spot, and like no one takes them

723
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: serious right as currently constructed, uh with Nurk and Grant,

724
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: and even though there are pieces there, Simon's obviously he

725
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: has a big game where he hits a million threes,

726
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, just like ugh, Wizards West, Oh,

727
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: that's depressing way to put it.

728
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, don't worry. We're gonna talk about Yaka Perol

729
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 3: on the rap soon so get me. Yeah.

730
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 4: Uh Nurkic I think is a guy who could be moved.

731
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, he's signed through the twenty twenty sixth season, so

732
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 5: you're gonna need a team who's got a lot of

733
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 5: money laying around also in desperate need of a center.

734
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 5: Jeremy Grant I would think stays in Portland, but he's

735
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 5: an expiring deal as well, so maybe they just decide

736
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 5: let's see what we can get for him. Pull the

737
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 5: plug there. And I mean I've been advocating trading Simons

738
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 5: since before he even blew up.

739
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 4: I still think they should do it, just because it

740
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: doesn't make sense. Man. It just doesn't make sense to

741
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: keep doing the exact same thing expecting it to change.

742
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 4: That's what the Wizards did. That's what the Wizards did.

743
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 5: They went from Beal or from Wall and Beal to

744
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 5: Bale and Westbrook to now just Beale.

745
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: It's the same thing. You're just trying to finish tenth

746
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 4: every year.

747
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's a good sign that Joe

748
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 3: Cronin is moving Josh Hart because you could easily just say, oh,

749
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 3: we can do it, we can do it. We got

750
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: the defensive parts and hope for it. Obviously, the Yusuf

751
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 3: Nurkic contract is a bit of an impediment to deal

752
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: him Anthony Simons. I think it's not. He has such

753
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 3: a ceiling and such a high ceiling as a score.

754
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 3: You just have to find the right team, and we've

755
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 3: talked about the Orlando Magic as a team that he

756
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 3: could go to. He is signed through twenty twenty six.

757
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: About the Raptors from twenty two million up to twenty

758
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 3: seven million, Yes, a guard who can score, Yeah, totally.

759
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: You just need to find the right team for Anthony Simons,

760
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: and the Blazers doesn't seem like it's the right team

761
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 3: with Dame beside him. I totally agree with that.

762
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's get too teenage mutan yak A Pertle.

763
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: The spur have traded Parle back to the Toronto Raptors. Yes,

764
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: that's where he started his career when he played two

765
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: years and then he was traded in the Kawide deal.

766
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: The Raps in getting Purtle send Ken Burch a Fine

767
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: Tree protected twenty twenty four first round pick and two

768
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 1: future second round picks. So are you pumped the Purtle's

769
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: coming back to the Raptors. Are you confused that the

770
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: Raptors are are acquiring a player instead of shipping out one.

771
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: Obviously still time left here before the deadline.

772
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 3: But what do you think it's still ship one out?

773
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: Of course the price has gone down free Yaka Purdle,

774
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 3: It's not too high a price. He's twenty seven, solid player,

775
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 3: maybe even a little overblown in this factory over the

776
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: last few months. At what he can do.

777
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: Excellent rim protector, very simple, offensive game excellent.

778
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, players are shooting over sixty percent when they get

779
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 3: close to the rim, and Yakub is in between the

780
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: rim and that player.

781
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: I will say, I think Perdl, it's been better than

782
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: that yours prior, and I think around more talent that

783
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: will drop.

784
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: Okay, you're right, You're right.

785
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: That is his one really good skill set, and he.

786
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: Can handle it a little bit. He's not He's not

787
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: stiff with the ball. He can move the ball. I'm

788
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: sure Jerome is gonna find some good tweets from Raptors,

789
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 3: faithful from people who are excited about Yaka.

790
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: Perls spicy psy and skills. Those guys are buds, yeah,

791
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: best friends. So I'm back together.

792
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: So as the first question, are you surprised that they're

793
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 3: going for it rather than tearing it down?

794
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 4: I don't.

795
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't say this is going for it.

796
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 3: But okay, I here, okay, here's why.

797
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 4: Of course it's coming up.

798
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 3: We're looking at yaking skills here on YouTube.

799
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: The Spurs made this move because they were back probably.

800
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: Probably pretty I don't know, I don't. I don't love

801
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 3: calling him skills. I know that's his handle, but that

802
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 3: that was that was.

803
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 2: Back in the day. Yeah, how they're pairing it was

804
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: yacking skills, yack and sack.

805
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: I mean, yeack sacks. Come on, that's good stuff.

806
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: It is no surprise the Spurs move move Parle here

807
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: because they weren't gonna likely resign them. So there is

808
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: that part of the equation here.

809
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 3: Too from this burst.

810
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: How much is this guy is? The pay increase is

811
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: current salary? This guy is a really really solid, you

812
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: know center, But you know, once you start paying them more,

813
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: it's like can you keep up with that? And has

814
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: he hit a sort of peak as a player too?

815
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: Being what twenty seven years old? I mean, I guess

816
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: in his prime? Is he going to be get that

817
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: much better? Probably not? But the Raptors. They are a

818
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: middle of the pack defensive team when everybody thought they'd

819
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: be way better. And that we're talking defensive rating, defensive

820
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: rebounding percentage, opponents field goal percentage. They're just like average

821
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: or below average. So Partle helps in all those categories.

822
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: The weird part of all this is, yeah, what what

823
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: are we doing? Raps? Are are we just going to

824
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: like go for it in the sense this year like

825
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: they're pretty far behind, but go for it and try

826
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: and just make the playoffs and then like regroup next

827
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: year or in the next couple hours. Here, Wow, what

828
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: a deal the Nuggets are throwing at us or the

829
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: Grizzlies or the Blazers or whoever for og or is

830
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: it carry Trent Junior or is it Fred Band.

831
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I look at that. I look at those two

832
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 3: scenarios totally different. They got a starting center, Yeah, he

833
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: can still do whatever they want with the rest of

834
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: their roster. They didn't overpay a protective first round pick essentially,

835
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 3: and Ken Birch, Yeah, they can still go both directions.

836
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: Massias kept his option open.

837
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, the Raptors were going to NITA Center

838
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 5: next season, regardless of how this season ends up. They

839
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 5: are back in the play in tournament. Exciting times for Toronto.

840
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't even realize they're actually winning games right now.

841
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: This is like one of their best stretches of the season.

842
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 5: But I'm a task I don't think this means that

843
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 5: the Raptors are going for it this season.

844
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 4: I don't.

845
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 5: I mean, maybe, if things click right, they could get

846
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 5: up the sixth, but it feels like as constructed, a

847
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 5: first round out team is the maximum for the Raptors

848
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 5: right now. So if people are interested, Nogi, sure, let's see,

849
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 5: let's get some picks going forward. Because you traded one

850
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 5: for Thad Young, you traded one for Yaka Perl, You're

851
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 5: gonna want to replenish those Also kind of weird that

852
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 5: the Spurs and the Raptors just trading with each other. Yeah,

853
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 5: there are other teams, Call them up, Call them up.

854
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 5: Twenty eight more teams out there, Masai RC, you got

855
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 5: their numbers. But I think like Van Bleet is still

856
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 5: gettible as well. Gary Trent Junior still gettable if you wanted, Oh, Jiannaoby,

857
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 5: still gettable as you wanted, or if teams make the

858
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 5: right offer, or if you're Toronto, you just say the price.

859
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 4: Wasn't good enough, We'll roll with what we got.

860
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 5: Signed Pearl next season and at least we've got a

861
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 5: center figured out for next year, because the same problems

862
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 5: would rear their ugly heads next season as well.

863
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: I like to pretend that Pearl sort of tanked his

864
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: performance last night playing the Raptors too in Toronto. Like

865
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: we kept saying the Spurs wanted two first round picks

866
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: for Pearl. Nope, we're not trading them unless we get two.

867
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: He goes out last night. He played like crap against

868
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: the Raps. You know, four of eleven for him is very,

869
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: very bad. He was a minus eleven out there. He

870
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: only scored twelve boyds. Didn't do a whole lot, but

871
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: he did on purpose because he wants to go back

872
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: to Toronto. So he's like, if I played like garbage

873
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: in this game Spurs Raps, then maybe they have to

874
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: take the the requirement of two picks down to one

875
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: and then some future second round picks.

876
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: Were good move. Respect to you taking in games last night.

877
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: I was trying to watch my Raps, but man, there

878
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: was too much going on.

879
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 3: Well, trades are happening. Yeah, we did an emergency podcast

880
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: if you haven't checked it out on the three team

881
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 3: deal between the Lakers, Wolves, and Jazz, that'll we'll touch

882
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: on here. But to me, it didn't even feel like

883
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 3: basketball was being played last night.

884
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: It was a weird one.

885
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 4: I watched the MAVs game to watch it.

886
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 3: Ye, what's your take on Kyrie.

887
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 4: That's a pretty good score.

888
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 5: Their team looks a lot better with him on the

889
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 5: court and Luca off the court than when it's Luca

890
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 5: off the court and nobody else play any So, a

891
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 5: really nice win for the MAVs. They've got two wins

892
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 5: back to back now without Luca. Pretty impressive.

893
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 4: And who knows it.

894
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 5: I still feel like the window is this season for

895
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 5: Dallas because who knows what happens in the off season.

896
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 5: Because if you're the Lakers, you're looking at the return

897
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 5: you got last night, you're saying.

898
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 4: Oh, that ain't Kevin Durant, right, Yeah.

899
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 5: I think the Lakers trade looks a lot worse than

900
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 5: the lighted day now that we've seen Kevin Durant make

901
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 5: a move as well.

902
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: And the other part of that Mavericks game too, Josh

903
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: Green looking amazing and a lot of people are more

904
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: opportunity there and Reggie Bullock had a good game too

905
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: as a nascot. That win and the Spurs, just the

906
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: Spurs side of things, they get one first round pick, yeah,

907
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: for a guy that they probably are not going to resign,

908
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: like I said in Perdle, And they do keep acquiring

909
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: first round picks here, right, Derek White got one at

910
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: the deadline last year for them. You said the Thad

911
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: Young there was another one that they got from the

912
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: Raps that was a first round pick. Got a boatload

913
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: of them in the de Jonte Murray trade in the

914
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: off season, and then one more here. They have a

915
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: lot of draft capital, the Spurs, and they are going

916
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: to be well under the salary cap floor there. They're

917
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of money to play with if

918
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: they want, if they can get anybody to their to

919
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: their team.

920
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: And they're chasing the Rockets as in the bottom of

921
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 3: the standings. They've lost ten straight games. They lose games

922
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 3: by an average of ten points per game, the worst

923
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: in the NBA in terms of net rating. They're close

924
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: to those Rockets still have one more win, tied with

925
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 3: the Detroit Pistons. That's what's important. The Webbin Yamas sweepsticks

926
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 3: for this season, but the right direction for the San

927
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 3: Antonio spurst I questioned the de Jonte Murray trade whether

928
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: it was, you know, the right move. They're trading their

929
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 3: best player essentially, but they would have been on that

930
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 3: treadmill of mediocrity for a while with the Jontey Murray

931
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: and now they're they're going and they're getting out of that.

932
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 3: They're getting out of that that realm of just being

933
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 3: a play in tournament type team.

934
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think a part of the Jontey Murray

935
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: trade was also his personality and maybe friction with the

936
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 1: front office. That was a big part of them moving

937
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: I think too.

938
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 3: That's what he said on the podcast. Steven Jackson still.

939
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: Say not because of like he's not talented.

940
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 3: As well, He's doing his part in Atlanta. Yeah, your

941
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 3: god son can get a Murray jersey.

942
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll try and convince them. Let's just quickly go

943
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: over the Lakers Wolves Jazz three team deal. Now, we

944
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: did an emergency podcast last night. If you want to

945
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: hear us talk about this in great detail, fire that

946
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: one up. It's in your podcast feed, it's there on YouTube,

947
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: but here it is for everyone. The Lakers getting D'Angelo Russell,

948
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: Malik Beasley, Jared Vanderbilt, so potentially two starters or at

949
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: least three rotation players. The Jazz get Russell Westbrook, he

950
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: will very likely be bought out here and then we

951
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: can discuss where he's gonna go. Jta Damian Jones. They

952
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: get that twenty seven first round pick, and then the

953
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: Wolves getting in on this, they get Mike Conley Junior,

954
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: so they replace D'angela Russell with Conley, take a flyer

955
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: on Nikkeil, Alexander Walker, good old Canadian boy, and then

956
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of second round picks in four five, twenty six.

957
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: I'll try. Let's start with you. I mean again, we

958
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: did the podcast last night, but you say this one

959
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: now after a big Kevin Durant blockbuster, maybe some of

960
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: the other moves you're not as not as in love

961
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 1: with it from the Lakers side of things, But overall fine,

962
00:45:59,400 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: what's your take?

963
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 3: Fine?

964
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 4: Yeah?

965
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 5: I think overall fine is the answer for me. I

966
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 5: think DiAngelo Russell has the best chance to be a JR.

967
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 5: Smith like pickup for the Lakers, similar to when the

968
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 5: Cavs traded for a Jr. And Aman Shumpert. Aman Shumpert

969
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 5: was like the big name in that one at the time,

970
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 5: but it was Jr's willingness to just chuck threes alongside

971
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 5: Lebron that was huge for him going to Cleveland. And

972
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 5: I think the confidence that Russell plays with will be

973
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 5: emboldened by Lebron saying anytime I pass you the ball,

974
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 5: shoot it, and that's what he needs to hear. Beasley

975
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 5: will do the same, that's just his game. I just

976
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 5: don't necessarily think that Beasley will be able to survive

977
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. I don't think Jared Vanda Bolt will

978
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 5: be able to survive in the playoffs. And then a

979
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 5: team that they're gonna be chasing the Lakers, they're chasing

980
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 5: the Suns, and they just got Kevin Durant. So it's like,

981
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 5: you got three rotation players from some of the worst

982
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 5: teams in the league, and you think that's really gonna

983
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 5: push you over the edge. I'm a little skeptical. I

984
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 5: will say I like it more for the timber Wolves

985
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 5: than I did before I went to bed last night,

986
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 5: because I think, at the very least, a lateral move

987
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 5: from D'Angelo Russell to Mike Conley. Conley probably not going

988
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 5: to be thrown away games like Russell would occasionally. Probably

989
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 5: also won't win you games like Russell did occasionally, but

990
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 5: it makes it more likely that the Timberwolves are able

991
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 5: to keep nas reed. And I think he's a super

992
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 5: important player for them, so I think being able to

993
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 5: sign him in the summer will go a long way

994
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 5: for the Timberwolves.

995
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 3: I love the move for the Wolves. I think it

996
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 3: makes sense just to reallocate the shots because Russell was

997
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 3: handling and shooting a lot. Carlington Downs is going to

998
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 3: come back, he needs his shots. Mike Conley will sit

999
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 3: back and be a catch and shoot guy, shooting forty

1000
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: one percent on catch and shoot opportunities this season with

1001
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 3: the Jazz. I know a lot of people aren't watching

1002
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 3: the Utah Jazz unless you're a Utah Jazz fan. But

1003
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 3: I think he was extremely solid in his role. Obviously

1004
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 3: got to wonder about his health. Sure, I get it,

1005
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: but I think it makes it just a better fit

1006
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 3: for the Wolves, and he signed through next year. Yeah,

1007
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: as you said, the Wolves got to make some decisions

1008
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 3: with their their roster and Dangel Russell was an unrestricted

1009
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: free agent this offseason. Now, the Lakers just depleted their

1010
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 3: roster in the in the past few years trading for

1011
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook essentially, so they did not have the parts

1012
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 3: to go and get a big name. Rob Polinka did

1013
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 3: what he could here. He got three guys who are

1014
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 3: going to be a part of the rotation for a

1015
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: lightly protective first round pick. When that's and I think

1016
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 3: that's that's very solid. I think Jared Vanderbilt is going

1017
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 3: to be a key part of their team, especially with

1018
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis going to He's going to be able to

1019
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 3: play more for Even though Anthony Davis at the five

1020
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 3: is the best version of them, now that they have shooters,

1021
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 3: I think you could play Jared Vanderbilt Moore. He can

1022
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 3: even hit a corner three. He's been okay in that regard.

1023
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 3: I like the makeup of their team way more. But yeah,

1024
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 3: they're not a championship type contender. And it was fun

1025
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 3: while it lasted as the number one trade at the

1026
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 3: Trade deadline poll here, but good to get it done

1027
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 3: before KD win there. Yeah.

1028
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: I love the timing, nice basing out of these trades

1029
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: that we could do that podcast last night, Go to Bed,

1030
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: Wake Up with the KD one, and some of these

1031
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: other ones. The Lakers just gotta start winning games. Now,

1032
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't care who's on their team if they're gonna

1033
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: make the actual play in tournament here and try and

1034
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs. There are two games back of

1035
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: the Blazers, who we keep talking about are like a

1036
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: joke of a team, and they're the Wizards of the West.

1037
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: It's like they're two back of them, and obviously the

1038
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: Jazz and Thunder are in between them. I would expect

1039
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: the Jazz to sort of start to slip a little bit,

1040
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: but the Thunder, obviously we just saw beating the Lakers.

1041
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: They're frisky. I think they have no reason not to

1042
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: try and get in the play in tournament and get

1043
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: some reps for their young guys, you know, in some

1044
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: high stakes games for SGA and Giddy and those guys.

1045
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: So yeah, they'll have to leapfrog them or hope some

1046
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: of these other teams above them fall out, be it

1047
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: the Pelicans, the Wolves, the Warriors, the Blazers, which I

1048
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: don't think is a given by any means. But what

1049
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: you were saying, like if you had the Lakers, because

1050
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: they have Lebron and Ady as a a five percent

1051
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: chance to win the title this year, like lower maybe

1052
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: like very very small it ticked up a tiny, tiny

1053
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: bit more so Plinka did something, and will he do

1054
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: something with the twenty nine first round pick here in

1055
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 1: the next couple hours. Are they done just their team

1056
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: or will they try and get one more piece, a

1057
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: solid player, rotation player that maybe you trust a little

1058
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: bit more like TK was saying, and some of these

1059
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: guys with that twenty nine first round pick, or do

1060
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 1: they hold on to that and be like, we got

1061
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: to have something in the future, We'll see.

1062
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 3: Responsible mortgage the entire future. I mean, that's what it

1063
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 3: sure sounds like they're doing. And at the same time,

1064
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 3: they they've hold on held on to one. But what

1065
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 3: can you get for that twenty nine first round pick?

1066
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 4: Prices are going down? Man, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1067
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 3: That's that's fair. I mean again, yeah, they got three

1068
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 3: rotation players for one, when we thought it would be

1069
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 3: you know, one per one draft pick per rotation player. Yeaheah,

1070
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 3: whether it was Buddy Heel or Miles Turner. So the

1071
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 3: price has gone down, no doubt.

1072
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: Is Westbrook still the favorite to win six Man of

1073
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: the Year. What happens with that one? He should have

1074
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: never been that, but he was. But did they take

1075
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: it off the board. What do they do with that one?

1076
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 4: Who's going to be their sixth man? Now Lakers? Possibly? Yeah,

1077
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 4: that guy's the favorite.

1078
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: Then whoever's on the Lakers? Yeah, okay, I do think so.

1079
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, just because of betting, because it's the least bet

1080
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 3: on award, So it's just market people.

1081
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: More people are betting on coach of the Year.

1082
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a tough that's a tough call. You might

1083
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 3: be right, but I think Norm, speaking of La Markets,

1084
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 3: is the should be the favorite.

1085
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, Brogden or Norm, I think above Westbrook especially

1086
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: now anyway, those are the trades that we have right

1087
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: this second. Unless they're something happening.

1088
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 3: The Clippers might get Westbrook, sure, according to reports, then

1089
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 3: they have two sixth men to take six of the

1090
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 3: year away from Norm. They need a seventh Man of

1091
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 3: the Year award. They both deserve it.

1092
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1093
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: There were a lot of teams being linked, obviously to

1094
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: a potential acquiring of Westbrook after a buyout with the Jazz.

1095
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 3: I'm the Clippers. I'm just saying things. I'm saying things

1096
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 3: because I just don't want this podcast and I just.

1097
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: Should we wrap it up now, I know, before the

1098
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: next big trade happens, So then we can.

1099
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 3: Regroup, aren't we out?

1100
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 1: Well, No, the Raptors, they are the big one here.

1101
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 3: That's a big trade.

1102
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: If the Raptors move Og or Fred, that's a big

1103
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: enough trade. Yeah if if if, if so, I think

1104
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: we should start wrapping this one up. All right, regroup,

1105
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: get ready for the next one up pick up results.

1106
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: So last night, yeah, there was basketball being played. I

1107
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: didn't watch a lot of this one six or Celtics.

1108
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 1: I know Jalen Brown broke his face though there's another

1109
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: All Star probably under the necks. We have a lot

1110
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: of injury replacements. Adam Silver is going to be busy.

1111
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: But the Sixers couldn't even beat basically the B team Celtics,

1112
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: who had uh what No Horford, no Marcus Smart, no

1113
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: Robert Williams. I'm feeling this vibe by the.

1114
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 3: Way, Yeah, yeah, well done, well yacht rocky, Yeah, a

1115
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 3: little bit.

1116
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: Funky anyway, the Sixers couldn't even cover, So Celtic's got

1117
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: to win. That's a win for task. Your four and

1118
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,959
Speaker 1: two Trey falls to three and three on'm two and four?

1119
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: What's tonight's game?

1120
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 3: We got four?

1121
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: Sing it to me?

1122
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 3: Four game nights.

1123
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: We got the game four game Night.

1124
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 4: Game Night.

1125
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 3: Okay, the Bucks Lakers juicy one.

1126
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 4: I think Lebron's breaking the record tonight, guaranteed.

1127
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately, it's just thirty eight nine hundred that he's

1128
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 3: getting to.

1129
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: Actually, is he even playing tonight? It feels like he

1130
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: should take win. He's gotta play.

1131
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: They're at home. The Bucks are favored by six points

1132
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: going into l A. That's not our game. Sun's Hawks

1133
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 3: who not our game. Nuggets Magic also not our game.

1134
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 4: Oh the bull, bull Bull, the bull, bull, bull bull Bull.

1135
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: I thought you just said it twice. The bull bully time.

1136
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 3: He said it three times?

1137
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: He said it quick.

1138
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 3: What about the Cold Bowl Bobo, the Cold Bow Bobo,

1139
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 3: the colo co Anthy. Anyways, the Bulls are playing the Nets.

1140
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 3: That's our game of the night. That's the first, the

1141
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 3: first game on T n T. I thought we were

1142
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 3: wrapping this up. I know the Nets are favored by

1143
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 3: a point point five points. Not a coin flip.

1144
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: We don't see a lot of lines like this. Yeah,

1145
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: lost on a coin toss is a pickup.

1146
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure mcal Bridges isn't playing. I'm sure Cam Johnson

1147
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 3: isn't playing. I'd assume these guys are not coined.

1148
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: If you know, well what happens that does that mess

1149
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: up mckill bridges, iron Man Street. If he does not

1150
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: play in tonight's nets game.

1151
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 4: I think that ends it.

1152
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: Oh if really, yeah, you probably are right, but that'd

1153
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: be unfortunate.

1154
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 3: Trade is cleared. Wow. Wow. Anyways, Tray's got the bulls.

1155
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 3: You got the bulls? Sure, I've got the nets. Oh right,

1156
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 3: I know this was high priority going into today's show

1157
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 3: with all these trades happened. But yeah, we'll see who

1158
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 3: wins in a battle of the bulls. Don't get up

1159
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 3: for teams that aren't at the top. So that's why

1160
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 3: I took the nets ahead the bulls. What's that?

1161
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 4: That's ahead of the bulls?

1162
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 1: So dub for the bulls up picked up?

1163
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 3: All right?

1164
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 4: They got five all stars?

1165
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:37,720
Speaker 1: Who does the bulls?

1166
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 2: Cool En de.

1167
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,600

1168
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 4: the nets.

1169
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't like this music because it's gonna keep.

1170
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 3: Us on Simmon for way too walk.

1171
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got Ben Simmons.

1172
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 3: This is his night, this is his night forty.

1173
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 4: He's going for double digits tonight.

1174
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: Simmons.

1175
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nah, could you double the minutes.

00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: Maybe sure, Yeah, maybe.

1177
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 3: There was a time when Joel Embiid sat out and

1178
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons would go for forty. There was that forty

1179
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 3: point game.

1180
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: It happened.

1181
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 5: Speaking of forty point games, Jalen Green had forty one

1182
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 5: last night. Yes, that is an unknown thing.

1183

1210
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,480

1217
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 2: It's lit up, it's under and underpass. I think we

00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 2: have a few more coming here. That is not Garry

1219
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:03,160

1222
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:09,600

Speaker 1: I've seen people wearing them, and I just thought it

1228
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: was over their giant jackets.

1229
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,640
