I'm gonna tackle 13 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: a few key questions I think we should all be 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: thinking about here, you know, and talk about the buyers 15 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: and the sellers.

We're very 56 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: likely going to postpone Thursday mornings No Dunks Daily podcast, 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: the one we usually do at ten am Eastern. 58 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: We'll push that till later in the day for when 59 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 2: the deadline. 60 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: Actually hits right the trade deadline again on Thursday, March 61 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, so we won't do a ten am show. 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: We'll push it into the afternoon maybe even right around 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: three o'clock, maybe a bit after. So all this is 64 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: to say, subscribe to No Dunks on YouTube so you 65 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: know when we're live.

All right, So that's what 69 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: the week looks like. I wanted to get that out 70 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: of the way. Let's get to the smoked meat and 71 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: potatoes here of this bonus pod the NBA trade deadline primer. 72 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: I went with smoke meat because I saw that Leley 73 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: got himself a green egg, so he's going to be 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: smoking some street ribs, I guess coming up here. But 75 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: here are the questions guys that I'm sort of tackling. 76 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you are as well, with 77 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: this trade deadline. And the first one, look at this, 78 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm doing this all by myself. I'm rolling so no JD. 79 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: So I'm putting up the questions here tonight. First one 80 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: is will there be any blockbuster trades? Okay, my best 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: guess is no. Like I said, it is not particularly juicy. 82 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: These aren't like street rib juicy, you know, trade deadline 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: names being thrown around. We're not getting another heart into 84 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: Brooklyn like deal. I know Lee's still holding out hope 85 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: that Bradley Beal gets moved, but the Wizards are reportedly 86 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: refusing to even engage with teams that inquire about him. 87 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: That's coming from Fred Katz at the Athletic like they 88 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: won't even like pick up the phone. It's somebody calling 89 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: about Beale again. Don't answer, don't answer it, don't answer. 90 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: So Beal's not going anywhere. I don't think zach Lavine 91 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: is being traded from the Bulls. The Bulls are back. 92 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: Everybody knows that he's playing phenomenal. They're not moving being 93 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: him here at the deadline when there actually might get 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: into the playoffs for the first time in a while. 95 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't think Karl Anthony Towns is going to be 96 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: moved this deadline. You know that is something maybe for 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: a year or two, three years in the future. He's 98 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: obviously under the huge deal. He signed a long term extension. 99 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: But Town's is not going anywhere. 100 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: Porzingis. 101 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: He was an interesting trade room there for a hot second, 102 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: but that seems to have dived down now. That brings 103 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: us to Kyle Lowry when we're talking big names. TSN's 104 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: Josh Lewinberg. He wrote recently that the Raptors don't intend 105 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: to move the groat the greatest Raptor of all time, 106 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: and that he's unlikely to be traded ahead of the deadline. 107 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: I saw koc Kevin O'Connor from The Ringer just a 108 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: few hours ago reporting a number of teams have been 109 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: calling about Lowry, including the Atlanta Hawks. 110 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: CAKA, oh my goodness. 111 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't even know what I would do, knowing if 112 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry was in the same city as me here 113 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, But uh yeah, I still think it's unlikely. 114 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: Both there are many teams, I guess, trying to get 115 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: Lowry or see what they could potentially offer to massaiu 116 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Jieri and Bobby Wester. 117 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: It all comes down to Lowry. We've said it in 118 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: a million times. 119 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: If lotterally goes to them and says, yeah, move me, 120 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: move me to a contender, I'd like to see if 121 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: I can get another ring, then I think they would try. 122 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: I honestly do think they would try and make something happen. 123 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,559 Speaker 1: I don't think Lowry's doing that, and I think where 124 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: we're headed with him is the expiring deal, and then 125 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: maybe after this season he decides them maybe I will 126 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: go somewhere else and it'll be a little cleaner, so 127 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: to speak. I just don't think Lowry's getting traded here 128 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: in the next four or five days. 129 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: Now. 130 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: If one team could potentially get Lowry if they wanted, 131 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: I think the Sixers have an interesting deal. They have 132 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: first round picks, They've got some intriguing prospects, Tyrese Maxi, 133 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: Matisse Thibel, who's already a defensive ace. I don't think 134 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: the Sixers would want to move off of him. 135 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: But there are, you know, there are the pieces. 136 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of a lot of guys on 137 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: expiring deals. They have the ability to match Lowry's thirty 138 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: point five million dollars salary, but it's unlikely. Put me 139 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: down as no real blockbuster here, and that I would 140 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: even include like Vucevich being moved, I guess as a blockbuster. 141 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: And I still don't even think that is going to happen. 142 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: All right, Second question, who will be the best player 143 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: traded this week? If we don't think it's going to 144 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: be like a blockbuster name, who is going to be 145 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: the you know, the best player I guess moved in 146 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: the next couple of days. Let's start with the restricted 147 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: free agents, because there's actually a lot of them, right, 148 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: and you're seeing their names pop up here in all 149 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: these rumors. Lonzo Ball, John Collins, Lowry, Markinen, Josh Hart, 150 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: Malik Monk. Those are you know, twenty seventeen first round 151 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: picks who haven't signed rookie extensions. Then CBS Sports James 152 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: Herbert pointing out Devonte Graham, Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn. Those 153 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: guys are all making like less than two million dollars, 154 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: but they're about to get much more expensive, especially a 155 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: guy you would think like Duncan Robinson. You know, does 156 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: he get like Joe Harris type money, Berton's type money. 157 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: It's in play, right, So we list all those guys 158 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: because if their teams are not prepared to pay what 159 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: it takes to possibly retain them in the offseason, then 160 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: you're going. 161 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: To explore the idea of maybe trading them. 162 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: And that's why you know, again, Lonzo Ball, Collins, and 163 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: I think of all these names I just threw out 164 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: you there, I think Markannen is the most interesting from 165 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: the bunch, and whether or not the Bulls would look 166 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: to deal him just where does he fit with their 167 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 1: long term plans. 168 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: They have some talented, big guys. 169 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: I would be a little petrified of giving a guy 170 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: like that a big extension because he can't stay healthy. 171 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: He's solid when he's out there, he's just rarely out there. 172 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: He's averaging like eighteen points per game, six boards, shooting 173 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: a very respectable like forty plus from deep. You know, 174 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: has a seven footer. He's basically Barnianni because he's a 175 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: bad defender, just like Barnianni. You know, are the Bulls 176 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: going to be the one ones be the ones that 177 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: like give him a hell of a pay increase? 178 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I. 179 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: Could see other teams being intrigued by that of like 180 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I just said, what he can do if you can 181 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: stay on the floor. 182 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: So maybe maybe the Bulls, because you know, do they 183 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: go on move on from Thadius Young? 184 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: No, they probably want to make the Playoffsdatius Young is 185 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: helping them, and not that Larry Markin is bad. But 186 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: again it comes down to the money of like are 187 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: you scared by the dollar signs that he is is 188 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: maybe going to demand similar to what happened with John 189 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: Collins of course, and the Hawks and where they're at 190 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: with him. So of all those guys, I think Larry 191 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: Markinen maybe the most likely. I guess I just call 192 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: it most intriguing to me because the Bulls have a 193 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: weird decision there. Besides the RFAs, I am still convinced 194 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: the best player traded this week is going to be 195 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon. If you don't know, he is a sneaky 196 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: good defensive player, he really is. He's turned into like 197 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of a defensive stopper there over the 198 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: last couple of years. The athleticism off the charts. When 199 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's a streaky three point shooter. He's just 200 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: he can catch fire at times. That's why I say streaky, 201 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: like he has these games where he explodes and then 202 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: he just has like days and if not weeks, where 203 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: he's struggling from distance. Just at a thirty eight point night, 204 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: he's helping his trade value right now, was playing all right. 205 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: MAVs could be interested in a guy like that, Blazers 206 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,239 Speaker 1: could be interested in a guy like that, The Warriors 207 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: are reportedly interested. The Rockets wouldn't mind getting their hands 208 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: on him. I've talked previously about how I think the 209 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: Nuggets could put together a decent offer for Aaron Gordon. 210 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: The last report we got was Orlando wants a younger 211 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: player and a draft pick. 212 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: They want the moon for Aaron Gordon. Are you gonna 213 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: get both of those? Maybe? 214 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: But Denver they could get there with that if they 215 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: really see Aaron Gordon as like, you know, a missing 216 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: piece to go far in the playoffs, and as compared 217 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: him to like filling in for the role for like 218 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: a Jeremy Grant and a Tory Craig. Like I get 219 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: that that makes some sense. Yes, you get a little concern. 220 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: Is there a weird over app with him and Michael 221 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: Porter Junior? 222 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: Maybe? 223 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: But Denver has their twenty twenty one first round pick, 224 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: They have young players that are intriguing in Hampton. 225 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: Bowl Bowl Zeke, maybe even PJ. 226 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: Dozier who's a little bit older than some of those 227 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: other guys. Salary matching you can get there, So you 228 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: can either do you need Paul Millsaps like consent, Hey, Paul, 229 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: you're cool going to Orlando? 230 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: You need him? 231 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: And then you'd have to pair like a Jamchael Green, 232 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: which is now that You're getting up to quite a 233 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: bit there in my mind. But Gary Harris, he works 234 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: nineteen point six million, very similar to Aaron Gordon type money, 235 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: so there could be something there, though I'm now seeing 236 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing a lot of Denver Nuggets sort of 237 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: rumors being maybe all that interested in Aaron Gordon. Some 238 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: of those other teams, like I said, Blazers, Maps, Warriors, Rockets, 239 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: on and on and on. 240 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: Wolves. I think is another one. 241 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: But I think to answer the main question there, who 242 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: will be the best player traded in the next couple 243 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: of days, I think it's there in Gordon, I do 244 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: all right. Next one, this one's for the being town boys. 245 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Will Boston use their giant trade exception? 246 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: This is Danny Yane. Of course they're not. 247 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Now, They're gonna get awful close so many times. No, 248 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: I think it'd almost be weird if they don't. Right 249 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: at this point, I feel like we've talked about this 250 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: twenty eight point five million dollar trade exception that the 251 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: Celtics got, you know, when Gordon Hayward went to Charlotte 252 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: so many times that it's just like it'll be almost 253 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: hilarious if they don't at this point and They've got 254 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: some other smaller ones too to work with trade exceptions. 255 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: The Celtics too, you know, they've struggled over the last 256 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: little bit. 257 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 2: They won tonight. 258 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown turning into Steph Curry is always nice hitting 259 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: ten threes. But I guess we'll be down as they 260 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: will do something with this. Now it gets a little tricky. 261 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: It's not this full twenty eight point five million. Really, 262 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: Boston is fifteen point five million below the luxury tax 263 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: threshold and they're hard kept. So if they do not 264 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: send salary out, they cannot use more than just under 265 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: twenty million of that trade exception. 266 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 2: Obviously, still pretty damn big. When it comes to trade exceptions, 267 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: they're not usually that big. 268 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, pull me down for the Celtics doing something here, 269 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: which I know. I can't wait for that to blow 270 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: up in my face and it will be like, oh, 271 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: we were, oh so close, we almost. It's the fish 272 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: that got away, the big fish that got away, always 273 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: with Danny Angel and the Celtics. But we'll see and again, 274 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 1: put me down for them actually doing something with it. 275 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: Our next one here, next question in our NBA Trade 276 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: deadline primer, which players will likely be bought out. You know, 277 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: we talk about the Celtics giant trade exception NonStop. It 278 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: feels like, man, have we ever said the word buyout 279 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: or buy out market more? I mean, I've been doing 280 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: this like for fifteen years, and yeah it comes up. 281 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: And there's sometimes like some interesting names, but my gud, 282 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: like with the Blake Griffin thing, and then of course 283 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: Andre Drummond and LaMarcus Aldridge, and then there's some other 284 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: ones I'm gonna get to in a second. I feel 285 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: like we're just always talking about buy out candidates, right, 286 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: and as we get closer to the trade deadline, you know, 287 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: there are some pretty obvious ones. Drummond is twenty eight 288 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: points seven million dollars. I mean, what would the calves like? 289 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: It's just difficult to make the contracts work, Like just 290 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: like Lowry having a massive, you know, thirty point five 291 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: million dollar deal, tough to make the mathwork to get 292 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: all those contracts in there. You got to send a 293 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: lot of guys back, a lot of numbers back generally 294 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: to then get them. So that's he's not being traded. 295 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna come to an agreement. And 296 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, just like Blake leaving a lot of money 297 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: on the table. There got a lot of it, don't 298 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: get me wrong. Still leaving to then sign with Brooklyn 299 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: making his debut tonight. I think the SAME's gonna happen 300 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: with Drummond. Now where does he go? Does he go 301 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: to the Nets too? Sounds like it's Nets or Lakers 302 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: he gets to decide. Not a bad option. You gotta 303 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: like your chances to win the title. LaMarcus Aldridge pop? 304 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: You know what? 305 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago now said they mutually agreed 306 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: to part ways. They're trying to trade him. Can they 307 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: get anything for LaMarcus Aldridge? A little skeptical again, twenty 308 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: four million a lot, so they probably agree on a buyout. Also, 309 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: the Spurs rarely ever do an in season trade, so 310 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: he'll probably be bought out. Now who goes after him? 311 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I think the Celtics and the Blazers pursue him, though, 312 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: I wonder if, like who gets first crack? Is it Drummond? 313 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: And then he picks you know, Brooklyn? What does Aldridge 314 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: immediately go to the Lakers? 315 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: Like it? 316 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: Will that be in play? It's a possibility. Let me 317 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: take a drink of beer. This is talking a lot 318 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: when it's just one guy. So those guys are they're 319 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: gonna be about it is what I'm getting at here. 320 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: I think there are some other names though, because those 321 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: when they're getting all the headlines. The Bulls Auto Porter 322 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: Junior massive expiring contract to twenty eight point five million. 323 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: Otto man, Wow, So do the Bulls. 324 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: Come to an agreement with him and does he move on? 325 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: The Pelicans JJ Reddick much smaller at thirteen million, there 326 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: is a Gorgie jang with the Grizzlies. Potential biocandidate could 327 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: help a team I think in the middle. And then 328 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: another big guy too, the Wizard's Robin Lopez. Now he's 329 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: seven point three billion. I believe so much easier to 330 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: come to an agreement on the smaller numbers like that. 331 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: I think those are some other names to watch again. 332 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Biout market, buyout market, biout market. It's sort of tough 333 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: to say three times. Yeah, it's just like the number 334 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: one thing in the league right now. And I guess 335 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: you're seeing Blake have Like, you know, he looked great 336 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: in the minutes I was watching there in the first 337 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: half that Nets game tonight. I was like, oh, yeah, wow, 338 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: you just got Blake Griffin for basically nothing. Now, I 339 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: don't think anyone's going to be as it goes blake 340 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: there with all those names I just listed, but some 341 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: guys that can probably help at least a title contender. 342 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: Speaking of title contenders, that's segue. That's why they paid 343 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: me the big bucks. Which title contender is most likely 344 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: to make a move? 345 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: Now? Funny right, because you got it? Well, who's the 346 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: title contender? 347 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: I think I think some people would have a short 348 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: of list as five, maybe maybe four, and then some 349 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: people get as crazy as talking themselves into what eight, nine, ten, 350 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: which probably going a little overbar but I mean I'm 351 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: getting out, like, are the nuggets of the title contender? 352 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: Are the Blazers? Are the Miami Heat? No? No? Like? 353 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: And I go back and forth on some of them. So, yeah, 354 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: how many do you have? Six, seven, eight, nine, ten 355 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: whatever at the top of my list? And I think 356 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: two teams that no one can disagree with being legit 357 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: title contenders, the Clippers and the Sixers. Most likely to 358 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: make a move a lot easier for one of them 359 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: than it is the other. So the Clippers are similar 360 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: to the Lakers in the sense that they basically have 361 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: no draft picks because of previous traits, and as Bobby 362 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: Marks pointed out on ESPN, the Clippers are right up 363 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: against the hard cap with their current roster. So even 364 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: though it could still happen, of course, but like a 365 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: trade like getting George Hill getting of that point guard 366 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: in LAC, not as simple as just sending back Lou 367 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: Williams because clips are only half a million below the 368 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: hard cap. So it's going to be difficult with los contract. 369 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: Excuse me, I think I have a bug in my throat. 370 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: I think there's a buyout market in my throat. The Sixers, 371 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: on the other hand, they they have the right ingredients, 372 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: let's put it that way, to improve their squad. Now 373 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: they're balling right now, Tobias Harris shutting everybody up with 374 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: these injuries to some of the guys, Sixers are rolling, 375 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: so maybe they just like they're like, no, let's not 376 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: touch anything. Nothing's broken, don't fix it. But again, the 377 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: ingredients to bake this trade deadline cake. 378 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 2: What do they have? 379 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: They have the ability to trade to future first round 380 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: picks twenty twenty one, twenty twenty three, they have an 381 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: eight point three million dollar trade exception, and as I said, earlier. 382 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: Here they have like seven guys on expiring contracts who 383 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: when you add them all up like earn like thirty 384 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: million dollars, so you can make things happen with that, 385 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, type of expiring deals to make a deal happen. 386 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: And oh yeah, they havel Morey. He's been known to 387 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: make a. 388 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 2: Move or two before. 389 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: I think he wakes up every morning he's like, oh man, 390 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: I'm making a trade today. He's been pretty you know, 391 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: pretty reserved, I had to say in Philia for the 392 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: most part. 393 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: But he would do it. 394 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: If he sees something and he sees an intriguing player 395 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: or a guy that he thinks makes their chance of 396 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: being winning this title even more, he would go for it. 397 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: I do believe that, you know, picks included being thrown 398 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: in there. 399 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: So we'll see again the roll in right now. 400 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: Maybe they just don't touch anything, but I guess those 401 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: teams sort of jump out to me as making the move. 402 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: Who else could be a buyer at the deadline is 403 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: my next question, as I semi clear my throat again, 404 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: there's not a lot as we you know, this is 405 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: the problem with this deadline. It looks like, well, excuse me, 406 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: there are not a lot of sellers because everybody feels 407 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: like they're in a playoff race, and they are. I mean, 408 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: it feels like ninety percent of the teams are in 409 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: a playoff race. So there could be a bunch of 410 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: people buying, but you need sellers to make that dance work. 411 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: I do think one team to keep an eye on 412 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: that it's not getting a ton of fanfare. The Charlotte 413 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: Hornets could be a team to watch here in the 414 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: next couple of days with really leaning into you know, 415 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: we're a five hundred team, let's make sure we get 416 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. You know, we're build around the excitement 417 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: of LaMelo. Of course of Eric Collins and Del Curry 418 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: on the broadcast, but you know, they have their star 419 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: player for the future in LaMelo. They got their big 420 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: money guy in Hayward. 421 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: Right now, Terry. 422 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: Rozier scoring twenty per game looks amazing, takeover takes over games, 423 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: young talent in Bridges and PJ. Washington, and they have 424 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: a ton of cap space at the end of the season, 425 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: so they project to have a ton of cap space, 426 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: so they could you know, again, I don't think they're 427 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: going for a huge it's not going to be voochs 428 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: or something like that. 429 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: But I think they'll be active. I do, and I 430 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: think it makes sense. 431 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what the Hornets again, sort 432 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: of under the radar, but what they do. 433 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 2: All Right, We're almost done because my voice is dying. 434 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: This is very strange. I talk a lot usually on 435 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: the show, so this is very odd. Final one. Who 436 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: are some other names popping up in trade rumors? And 437 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 2: not final one? I'm gonna do predictions after this. Okay, 438 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 2: we know. 439 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: About the Rockets fire sale, so that should include Victor Oladipo, 440 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: who is definitely an intriguing name. But will people be 441 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: scared to attach any like young players or picks when 442 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: you know he's probably just gonna go sign wherever he 443 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: wants to sign when he when he's ready to go 444 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: next or later in the summer. Eric Gordon, they would 445 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: love to trade. I'm sure this guy cannot stay healthy 446 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: when he's when he's healthy, I think he's a decent 447 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: player on a lot of teams. He can help a 448 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: lot of teams. But poor Harrik Gordon. Remember one Tasks 449 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: used to love Eric Gordon when he played for the Clippers. 450 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: Would never stop talking about him, so the Rockets should 451 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: have a fire sale half the King's roster in theory, 452 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, Ken be had, maybe Harrison Barnes, Like 453 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: people are going back and forth on whether the Kings 454 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: would actually move him. Buddy Heal's name has been thrown 455 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: around a couple times. Rashaun Holmes is another guy that's 456 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: probably gonna be due for a bit of a pay raise. 457 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: Do the Kings want to give it to him? 458 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: Marvin Bankley the third well, yeah, injured. And then be 459 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: Alitza who probably will be moved. He's like the classic 460 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: guy that has moved at a deadline in the sense 461 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: that he's like, you know, smallish contract, big guy that 462 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: can shoot. 463 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 2: You know, he's not a. 464 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: Lockdown defender, but throw him in the right system. He's 465 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: maybe not lost out there. He just like it's simple, 466 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: you can just sort of see it happening. And then 467 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: there are a couple other magic players, not just Aaron Gordon. 468 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: Terrence Ross I think could really help a team. I 469 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: think for sure if he gets moved, put me down 470 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: for Terrence Ross winning his team like a playoff game, 471 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: Like that guy catches fire, so he could be a 472 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: difference maker and then Evan Fournier similar to some extent, 473 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: can get hot at times. And you know his name's 474 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: been in a lot of trade rumors, even Kem Birch, 475 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: good old Canadian Kem Birch, everyone's favorite tree is being 476 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: thrown around. 477 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 2: And there's that. 478 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: Horford George Hill with OKAC you know, okay, see at 479 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: this point, like they've played phenomenally well, shout out to SGA, 480 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: shut out to Dort if everybody wants to drop their 481 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: Dort in the stream, team exclamation mark all caps. But 482 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: you know they're not kidding themselves, like we're not making. 483 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: They know they're not making the playoffs and they didn't 484 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: even want to. They're probably surprised where they even are 485 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: right now, like you know, still sniffing. I guess a 486 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: playing tournament. But they're not gonna go that way. So yeah, 487 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: anything they can get back, you know, you got picks. 488 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: Presty's interested, So maybe Al Horford going back to Boston 489 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: is that a possibility? And George Hill, like I said, 490 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: with the Clippers, a couple other teams would I'm sure 491 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: talk themselves into a vet point guard, you know, coming 492 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: off the bench in a playoff series. 493 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: So those are some other names. 494 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: The final one here, Guys, as I start to wrap 495 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: this up, already going to well, I've already talking twenty 496 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: five minutes man flies by, flies by when you're just 497 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: talking to yourself. Trade deadline predictions, Okay, I'll hit you 498 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: with three, two or okay, one is super lame. The 499 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: first one I've been saying for about I don't know. 500 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: It feels like three weeks. So I'll just really lean 501 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 1: into it. The Magic will make a trade, Okay, just 502 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: keep talking this into existence. I think it will be 503 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: Erin Gordon, as I've said, I think he'll be the 504 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: best player traded here. Terrence Rossto Fournier. I think one, 505 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: if not two of those guys are not on the 506 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: roster by the end of the week. I think the 507 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: Magic actually do something here. You know they're losing Street continues. 508 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: It's it's bad and at some point, you know, get 509 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: something in return for these guys. Now, maybe they're asking 510 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: too much for ag Like I said, they want the 511 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: young player and the pick. Well, everybody says that, right, 512 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: that's what we want. You don't want to take that 513 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: long term money, blah blah blah blah blah. Well, at 514 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: some point you have to're like, Okay, well we're not 515 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: going to get all three things we want, but we'll 516 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: take two or we'll take that really nice one. So 517 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: I think that's what happens. Magic make a deal. Second one. 518 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: This is the lame one. I do think one of 519 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: the content now it could be a buyout candidate to 520 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: bring that word back up, but I think the Pistons 521 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: could they get some sort of. 522 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 2: Deep second round pick for Wayne Ellington. 523 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm talking the Golden arm baby Wayne Ellington again, 524 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: like you know, sort of you know, it's like ave 525 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: guy that again can maybe gets thrown out in there 526 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: in a playoff series, can stretch the floor, you can 527 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: hit some shots. So could he find his way back 528 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: to the Miami Heat? Is that possible? They could use 529 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: some shooting in Miami Heat. Last time I checked, it 530 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: was not long ago. Miami was near dead last in 531 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: the league in three point percentage, which actually really caught 532 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: me by surprise when you consider a Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, 533 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Kelly Olynik, you know, Igodala even it was like what, yeah, 534 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: I think they're like twenty seventh, twenty eighth in the 535 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: league in three point percentage. A little strange, so they 536 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: would like any team, a little three point shooting would 537 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: always help. And Wayne Ellington had some good years in Miami. 538 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 2: Could he make his way back there. 539 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: I think Detroit would definitely move off of him for 540 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: very little. And again, maybe it comes it turns into 541 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: a buyout candidate there in Wayne Ellington, but maybe he 542 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: finds his way to Miami. 543 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 2: My third prediction, the Blazers come. Well, let's call it Thursday. 544 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: I guess Thursday afternoon, the Blazers might be the winners 545 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: of the trade deadline because I think the Blazers they 546 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: might have like a little sneaky, bold move to make here. 547 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: And here's where my thinking's going with this. They got 548 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: to be looking at the Western Conference standings and saying, Okay, 549 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of an opening here. The Jazz 550 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: are great, don't get me wrong, but they need to 551 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: prove it in a playoff front. We all know that 552 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: the Suns are feisty, totally unproven for the most part. 553 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: You know when it comes to the playoffs, and that's fine, 554 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: that's normal. You know they're going to be happy just 555 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: to get in there. 556 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: For sure. 557 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: Clippers, do they instill confidence in anyone at this point, 558 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: not a ton. The Lakers have been hit by the 559 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: injury bug. First, it's a d it's been out so long, 560 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: going to be a while still. And now Lebron with 561 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: the high ankle sprain. We'll talk about that on Tomorrow's 562 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: No Dunks Daily. For sure, all of the questions off 563 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: of Lebron's ankle injury will look bad. Definitely look bad. 564 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: You know he will be back, don't get me wrong, 565 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: but that's still two brutal injuries to your two best players. 566 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: So how far the Lakers follow on the standings and 567 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: all that, And then the Nuggets I think are great, 568 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: and I think even the Mavericks are a really good team, 569 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: But they're on the same levels as Portland in my mind. 570 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: They're They're very very similar teams there. They're weird teams 571 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: at times because they look really really good and then 572 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: other times like you're very disappointed in them. Consistency could 573 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: be an issue. But with the Blazers making a sneaky 574 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: move here, Lillard is in his prime. I think Portland 575 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: in a weird way, owes it to him to if possible, 576 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: like go all in here. You know, he's proven his 577 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: loyalty to you, you got to turn around and do 578 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: the same. 579 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: CJ. McCollum back from a foot injury awesome, Nurk should 580 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: be returning shortly. 581 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: And then to make a deal. They have young prospects 582 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: to entice a team. You have Gary Trent Junior, you 583 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: have in for any Simons, you have this here little 584 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean Rodney Hood would probably be moved in any 585 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: sort of like substantial sort of trade because of his salary, 586 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: which I believe is like a round ten million I 587 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: think for two years if I have that right. He 588 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: might have a player option next year, but he would 589 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: probably be included and. 590 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: They very likely. 591 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: It sort of depends on how a pick conveys this year, 592 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: I think with Houston, but they should have first round 593 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: picks in the future to throw into a to a 594 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: potential trade the Blazers do in twenty three, twenty five, 595 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: and twenty seven. I don't know who that is because obviously, 596 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: as I've just taken you through, I mean, who that 597 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: is the Blazers going get. Maybe it is Aaron Gordon, 598 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: maybe it's someone we haven't even thought of yet. But 599 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: I think the Blazers couldn't and in a weird way, 600 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: should be looking to improve this team because I think 601 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: there's like, you know, there's a little lane there right 602 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: of course, been to a conference finals, there's a lane. 603 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: Lord's in his prime. I mean it's similar to Jokics. 604 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: This guy is playing at the best he's ever played. 605 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta gotta. 606 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 2: Like capitalize on it if you can. 607 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying like you're gonna mortgage your future, 608 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: but you got these are like just superstar talent, and 609 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: uh should take a swing at it. 610 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 2: I think, so we'll see. 611 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: Those are my predictions, basically with the Magic sort of 612 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: with Dwayne Ellington there, and I think the Blazers, uh again, 613 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: you know what everybody does, the winners and losers of 614 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: the trade deadline. I'm sure we'll do it on Thursday. 615 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: Put me down with the Blazers. I'm calling my shot. 616 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a winner. Comes sort of 617 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: near the end of the week. That's it for me. 618 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: We'll call it there. My voice seemed to get a 619 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: little bit better. I really did just have like a 620 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: weird little tickle going on in there.
