Speaker 3: is not Abbadiah. It is only one way, and please

Speaker 2: We are well.

21
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Well well, gentlemen, that was an eventful opening night of

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: a NBA free agency. I'm gonna need Schumann to crunch

23
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: the specific numbers, but I think we had more than

24
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: thirty NBA free agents reach agreements on deals late last

25
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: night early here Saturday morning, including six whose new contracts

26
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: are worth over sixty million dollars overall.

27
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: So we got some.

28
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Juicy things to discuss. Some big names haven't signed as

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: a recording yet, you know, waiting on Hayward and Van

30
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: Vliet and Bugdanovitch and all that. But I got a

31
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: bunch of questions for you guys, So let's jump right

32
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: into it. Task, get us started. My man, which team

33
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: had the best day one of free agency?

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: What do you got?

35
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: I'm going to go away from free agents signings for

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 4: a second. I'm pumped for a New Orleans Pelican's trade

37
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: that they made because it seemed like they were going

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: one direction last week. They traded away Drew Holiday, guy

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: who had been in rumors for a long time, a vet,

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: but they had decided we're going to go a little

41
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: bit younger, or at least it seemed. They traded him

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: to the Bucks for a billion draft picks. And then

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, as these you know, mediocre middling

44
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 4: signings come through all of a sudden, we understand that

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: that trade has been expanded to four teams and Steven

46
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: Adams is coming to New Orleans for one of those

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: picks that they got from Milwaukee and a couple other

48
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: picks as well. But Steven Adams is going to be

49
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: part of their front court to join Zion Williamson along

50
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: with Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram. I just thought they

51
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: were going super super young and Steven Adams. I thought, man,

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: they're bringing this geezer in. It seems like he's been

53
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 4: in the league forever. He's only twenty seven years old,

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: which is absolutely shocking to me. He was drafted in

55
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: twenty twelve, eight years ago as a nineteen year old

56
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: kid out of Pittsburgh. But he is the I think,

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: the perfect a solid player in the middle for them,

58
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: just to help out Zion Williamson, you know, play some four.

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: I think Stan mcgunny's going to play Zion at the

60
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: five spot, but he just it's just a nice slick

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: move I think by David Griffin. I thought that team

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: may just be a little bit lost because they didn't

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: have a lot of veterans at this point. The way

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: it's looking right now, Drew Holiday was technically traded for

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: Eric Bledsoe and George Hill, plus a bunch of picks.

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: You know, those would be their guys sort of handling

67
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: the ball. At this point. It seems like along with

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: Lonzo Ball, I think they need another backcourt player, and

69
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: it seems like David Griffin is going after a guy

70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: like Steven Adams who's been around the block, that they're

71
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: probably going to try and get somebody back there as well.

72
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: But I'm pretty pumped for that lineup those four guys,

73
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Steven Adams. I'm not

74
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: sure who the fifth is starting with those guys, but

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 4: they went from a team that was looking towards the

76
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: future to hey, another one of those teams that could

77
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: easily make the playoffs in a real, real, real tough

78
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: Western Conference. It's gonna be fun to watch, because we

79
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 4: talked about it. There just aren't many teams dropping out

80
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: of the Western Conference playoff picture for sure. Okay, see

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: who's involved in that trade and who the heck knows?

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: Maybe the Rockets, but man, I'm pumped to see their

83
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: future already starting a little bit earlier than what was

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: expected after that Drew Holiday deal.

85
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad somebody out there could figure out the

86
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: specifics of this four team deal. I've been spending the last.

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. I just know Steven

88
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: Adams is going to be part of the Pelicans.

89
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: I know.

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: That's all I know.

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: And Eric Bloodsoell allegedly will also be a Pelican as well, Right,

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: that's part of that trade. Oh, I mean, that's it's weird.

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: It's weird. Eric Bloodsoe and Lonzo I suppose we'll be

94
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: the back court. We're still waiting to hear about Brandon Ingram.

95
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: They actually got to sign him for him to be

96
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: playing on the Pelicans. But uh, I don't know. At

97
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: the very least, you're not gonna want to play against

98
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: the Pelicans because between Steven Adams and Zion Williams and

99
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: you're getting smashed. Maybe these guys are going to be

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: crushing bodies out there. Who knows if they're going to

101
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: be in the playoff Max, I think they'll be close

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: at least. I mean, almost ten teams are gonna make

103
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: the playoffs in each conference this year, so you would

104
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: think with the defense they're gonna be able to throw

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: out there. They should at least be in the mix.

106
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 5: I think they'll be very disappointed if they if they

107
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 5: don't make the playoffs, because I think they have made

108
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 5: some moves here to sort of show early on into

109
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: Zion's career. Listen, we're not gonna wait for, you know,

110
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 5: to try to give you a few years before we

111
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: try to make a push the playoffs. We're going to

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 5: try to do that now. And Ingram, I think, is

113
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 5: going to resign there. I think that's a mere formality

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 5: at this stage. It's really just whether or not the

115
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 5: Pelicans want to give Hi the max or not, which

116
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 5: I think they're probably gonna have to I think ultimately,

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 5: I think, and I don't think that's a bad decision.

118
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 5: I think you may as well lock him up. He's

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: young enough that you can move on from him. That

120
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 5: contract's not going to be too much of an albatross

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: if things don't work out. So I think David Griffin

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 5: there's making some big moves and he again, you know,

123
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: they were close to making the playoffs last season, and

124
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: he just doesn't want to have a sort of another

125
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 5: couple of years of sort of building towards it. He

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 5: wants to get in there now and try to get

127
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 5: Zion into the playoffs and get some experience into him

128
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 5: straight away. Remember, you know, talking about how tough those

129
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 5: guys are. I remember last year when Zion did play

130
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 5: against Steven Adams, he was one of the only guys

131
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 5: who could actually push Steven Adam out of the way. So, yeah,

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 5: there's a lot of beef down low there in New Orleans. Now, yeah,

133
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 5: I just wonder if there's too much beef. I mean,

134
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 5: is a spacing going to be an issue if both

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 5: of those guys are playing together. I know Zion had

136
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 5: that one game where he hit a bunch of threes. Yeah,

137
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 5: I was gonna say it wasn't much after that, but

138
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 5: we will see. I mean, they lose favors obviously, a

139
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 5: strong defensive mind and center as well.

140
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: He's going back to Utah and we'll get to all that.

141
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, Adam's coming in here part of this crazy

142
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: four team deal. I mean, three teams deals are enough

143
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: as it is, where I'm like, hold on, hold on,

144
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: whose pick is that? Now that's coming by way? And

145
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: then you throw a fourth team in there. It becomes

146
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: mind boggling, especially when the team or the trade was

147
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: already like a two thing or then a three thing,

148
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: and then now it's a fourth thing. It's like you're like,

149
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: you start to lose track of everything. But yeah, task

150
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: you're right, Adams, the key part here going to the

151
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Pelicans and you like it, You're high on it.

152
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: Who the heck else? Who knows what else is happening

153
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: in that trade? Who really knows. But one of those

154
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: draft picks that Milwaukee got or that I'm sorry that

155
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: Milwaukee sent to New Orleans for Drew Holiday seems like

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: it's being dealt as the main part to oka see

157
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: who's just gathering those picks and keep on gathering those picks.

158
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, I like Steven Adams just to help out

159
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: Zion and then they'll figure out the rest of the roster.

160
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: But we know Lonzo Ball is going to be there.

161
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: We assume Brandon Ingram's going to be there, and I

162
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: assume that Zion Wilson's going to play some five. I

163
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: think Standban's not gonna you know, he's not going to

164
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: be shy to just mix it up a little bit.

165
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: You have to. You have to see what Zion is

166
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: at the five. So I'm just I'm just excited, just

167
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: from a curiosity perspective that dude at the five pick roll,

168
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: take that charge against that guy.

169
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Good luck, all right, Trey, Who do you got for

170
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: your sort of your big winner, who had the best

171
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: day one in terms of team.

172
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: Well, similar to how the Pelicans didn't necessarily do it

173
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: in free agency, same with my team, the Blazers. They've

174
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: been making moves. Some have been free agency and some

175
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: have been trades. But it feels a little bit like

176
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: they're getting the gang back together there in Portland, and

177
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: I like it. They used the number sixteen pick, Trevor

178
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: Ariza and a future first rounder to bring in Robert Covington.

179
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: I'm good with that. Robert Covington is exactly what the

180
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: Blazers need. He'll be able to knock it down from

181
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: outside and they need a big wing. And I'm okay

182
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: with giving up those draft picks because Blazer's player development

183
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 2: hasn't been great the past couple of seasons. You know,

184
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 2: they brought in a few guys that we thought had

185
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: some potential and Zack Collins, Anthony Simons, and they've just

186
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: kind of been on the fringes of the rotation. Also

187
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: brought back Ennis Canter. It's crazy to think that he

188
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: played not last season with the Trail Blazers, but just

189
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: the season before eighteen nineteen. It feels like fifty eight

190
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: thousand years ago. Feels like he was there for way

191
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: more than half a season, but he was beloved amongst

192
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: Trailblazers fans. He always wins over the locals, no doubt

193
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: about it. And to me and his cancer, Montrez Harrell,

194
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: almost the same player. They're giving you a whole bunch

195
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: on offense and giving it back on defense. Rodney Hood

196
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: is coming back. They took a shot on Dereck Jones Junior.

197
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: The team is a little bit deeper, a little bit

198
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 2: more reliable, a little bit more veteran. They've got some

199
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: semblance of defense. They're probably not an upper tier playoff

200
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: team here, but it all comes down to how good

201
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard's going to be, how far he can take him.

202
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: The Blazers are better today than they were yesterday, and

203
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 2: I think that's big. You know. They maybe they've just

204
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: got some more reliable veteran players. They're not going to

205
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: be starting Mario Hezonia and Anthony Tolliver again this season,

206
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: and that is a huge win to me.

207
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's funny is remember when the Blazers had a

208
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: bunch of solid, like small forwards and then they let

209
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: them all go. But then they went out and now

210
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: have retooled with like you said, like Covington and Derek

211
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: Jones Junior in resigning hood and all that he Coolie's injured.

212
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: I like the Blaze what the Blazers did as well.

213
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: Even Canter I think it does make sense in that

214
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: backup rough because you've seen what he's done before filling

215
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: in for Nurkic when he actually got injured. So Blazer

216
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: is okay a winner from day one again because of

217
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: trades and signings and yeah, we're including everything here in

218
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: the mix. Lee, who you got for a team that

219
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: did well on D one?

220
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's the Lakers. Week has been pretty good, started,

221
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: of course by getting Dennis Shuter in a trade. They've

222
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: gotten him now signed and then last night thing he's

223
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 5: got a little bit crazy there with Dwight out. I'll

224
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 5: get to that a little bit later on. But instead

225
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 5: they go out and they get Montrez Harrell from the Clippers,

226
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 5: which basically he is offense for Dwight's defense. Really, that's

227
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 5: what it comes down to here for the Lakers. I

228
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 5: think Montrez. Defensively, he was not that good against the Nuggets,

229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 5: but offensively, I mean, he was six Man of the

230
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,359
Speaker 5: Year last year because he goes out there and gets

231
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 5: the job done. So I think that's very very important

232
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 5: there for the Lakers to have someone else coming off

233
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 5: the bench. And then they go out and get Danny

234
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 5: Green's replacement in Wesley Matthews, and I think, you know,

235
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 5: I think it's three point six Mills and he signed

236
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 5: for That's a pretty good sort of swap in for

237
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 5: Danny Green. It's funny the numbers of those two guys

238
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 5: were very, very similar last season, and the Lakers I

239
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 5: think just decided to give up on Danny Green and

240
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 5: they get We's Matthews, so he knows he's going to

241
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 5: come out there and go start firing away. So and

242
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 5: the thing with the Lakers too is I don't think

243
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: they've finished here. They've still got a few other decisions

244
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 5: to make. One of them. It's being reported out there.

245
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 5: I don't know how accurate it is, but they're trying

246
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: to sort of gate crash this bog dan Bogdanovich deal

247
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: here somehow and trying to get into their team. If

248
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 5: they can get Bogdanovich. Then, I mean they're probably already

249
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: favorites to go to win the championship next season. I

250
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: think they're a lock for that favoritism if they get him,

251
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 5: because they've basically retooled and upgraded in my opinion for

252
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 5: their us. They they're definitely going to miss Dwid's defense

253
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 5: coming off the bench. But again, a six man like Montrez,

254
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 5: you're out there really to score primarily, and that's what

255
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 5: he does. He just can keep that school board ticking

256
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 5: when Anthony Davis is sitting down. So I think it's

257
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 5: been a very very good offseason here for the Lakers,

258
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: and still still some more to come ivery Bradley, of course,

259
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 5: I mean Rondo is not officially gone, but it looks

260
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: like he is. So you know, the Lakes has still

261
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 5: got a few little moves to mike, but they keep

262
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 5: their main plays together and I think just improve their

263
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 5: role plays.

264
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think task the Lakers are better right here,

265
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, day one free agency than they were when

266
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: they won the title because of these moves like likely

267
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: just took us through Or are they the same or

268
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: are they worse?

269
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: I think defensively they're they're lacking a little bit losing

270
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: Danny Green, losing Dwight Howard, losing Rondo, most likely losing

271
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 4: Avery Bradley as a big chunk of their team. You

272
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: sub them in for Dennis Shrewder, not a defensive player,

273
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: Wesley Matthews who will do a great job. I'm a

274
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: huge West fan Montrez Harrel not a defensive player. But yeah, offensively, yeah,

275
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: they look fabuloso. They got JaVale McGhee coming back at

276
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: the center spot. Maybe this is crazy, but maybe Tristan

277
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 4: Thompson h comes back to hang out with Lebron James

278
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 4: as a backup defensive big. But then where does Montrez

279
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: Harol go. We think of Montres Harel as this big name.

280
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 4: To me, this was just puzzling how he goes and

281
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: just jumps the hallway, goes from the Clippers to the Lakers,

282
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: just like that, for a contract that two years and

283
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: nineteen million dollars after winning six Man of the Year. First,

284
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: I was surprised that he'd jumped to a rival like that. Second,

285
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 4: just doesn't seem like a lot of bucks for a

286
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 4: six Man of the Year. You'd think that a guy

287
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 4: like that could get more dollars. So they want to

288
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: probably show up their guard wing position a little bit.

289
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: They can still do that in you know, March or

290
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: whenever the trade deadline is and or the buyout deal

291
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 4: is and find somebody. But I think at the center

292
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: spot too, Juale McGee at times, you know, he couldn't

293
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: play a ton of minutes, and then Montres Harol's going

294
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: to be the guy who who stops people. So I

295
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 4: think I think there's some some things to work out there.

296
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: But those are good problems. I mean, they're still frigging great,

297
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: that's for sure.

298
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Montres Harald his is an interesting deal because

299
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 1: I think think the second year is a is a

300
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: player option, So you could almost look at it like

301
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: he's signing a one year deal and if he plays

302
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: well and just go right into free agency in twenty

303
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: twenty one again and get a whole bunch more of

304
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: But you're right, that was a shocking number, especially when

305
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: we get to some of the other numbers some guys got.

306
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: You're like, what, that's all that clutch discount there for

307
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: the Lakers is undred percent? What it is? Yeah, you're saying, skeets.

308
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: The Lakers in the clutch era have been giving out

309
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: player options to basically everybody, this is a good way

310
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: for Montrez Harrel to go to a better team, going

311
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: from the Clippers to the Lakers, where he's not going

312
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: to be as instrumental as a piece. It came down

313
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: to the Clippers for are we playing our defensive guy

314
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: and Zubats or are we playing our offensive guy in

315
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: Montrez Harrel. The decision's pretty easy for the Lakers. We're

316
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: playing Anthony Davis when it comes down to it, he

317
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: gives you have the better defense and the better offense.

318
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: But if Montres Harrol can come in, show how how

319
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: well he can play, how well he played during the

320
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: regular season last year, remake that money that he lost

321
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: during the bubble, and go back into free agency and

322
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: cash out once again the Clutch plan. That's how it is.

323
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: You take a discount from the Lakers and it pays

324
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: off eventually.

325
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: Speaking of Clutch, they're waiting for Contavis Callwell Pope to

326
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: come back to they they're desperate for one.

327
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: So he's holding out for more money. Caseyp he should. Yeah,

328
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 5: he's done very well out of lagas didn't he sound

329
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: like for eighteen million a couple of years ago? And uh,

330
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: one year and then I think, yeah, and now he's

331
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: now he's like, hey paying me more like he's he

332
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 5: did play well for them by last season, I'll say

333
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 5: that he played well.

334
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: He's good.

335
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 5: He's a good three and D guy. That's all he

336
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 5: needs to be and you know he can do it.

337
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, wow, this shows man, it's not what you know,

338
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 5: it's who you know.

339
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Really, And I wonder what this all means for Kyle Kuzma.

340
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: You brought up bug Danovitch there, Lee. I mean, his

341
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: name's been in a lot of trade talk whether they

342
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: look to move on from him, and he would be

343
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: like a piece. I think that would entice a lot

344
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: of other teams, being a young guy where you're like,

345
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: you can talk yourself into him being maybe more of

346
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: a star, but maybe not because he played for the

347
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: Lakers and everyone becomes a bigger star in everyone's minds.

348
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: Is he really that good? But anyway, we'll see what

349
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: happens with I'll just go quickly here for my team

350
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: that had a good day one. It was a quick

351
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: day one and it was the Miami Heat. You talk

352
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: about bringing the band back together, their trey, that's what

353
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: these guys did. They go to the finals last year,

354
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, put up a decent fight against the Lakers,

355
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: a little short short staff there with some of the injuries.

356
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: But right away, you know, when officially officially it kicked

357
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: off on Friday at six pm Eastern, they were making moves.

358
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: Drag Its resigned with them for two years thirty seven

359
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: point four million dollars second year team option, though Meyers

360
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Leonard two years twenty million Hello, second year team option.

361
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: Haslam resigns with them no brain to their one year

362
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: minimum salary contract.

363
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: So I like this.

364
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: This is why I like this because they're obviously a

365
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: good team. They want to stay competitive in the mix

366
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: as one of the East top contenders, so keeping dragicch

367
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: allows them to keep their core together of Jimmy and

368
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: Bam and him and then all the pieces around them.

369
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: But it's those second year team options that are really

370
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: important because it does still allow Miami to maintain cap space,

371
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: possibly at least for the summer of twenty twenty one.

372
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: And I've seen that if Drugis were on a straight

373
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: one year deal that he would have to approve any trade,

374
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: so he would defacto have a no trade claws. So

375
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: that two year you have that team option. Things can

376
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: be done here where you can move, and I think

377
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: Leonard will definitely be moved. They love him because he's

378
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: a positive guy on the bench. He is, we talked

379
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: about it in the bubble. You know, he goes to

380
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: the bench. There's a lot of money for a bench guy,

381
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: by the way, but big boat. Yeah yeah, Look he's

382
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: chugging his cours light. He's shotgun and cores light and

383
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: everybody loves having the guy around. Okay, that means something.

384
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: That's the Heat culture that they talk about. But I

385
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: think he either gets moved because that big contract could

386
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: help out and bring him back a star, or Kelly

387
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: Olenick is likely moved. I think one of those two guys.

388
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: I'll be shocked again if there's a big name out

389
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: there that pat Riley in the Heats can say, hey,

390
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: we got the pieces we can put together here to

391
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: get so and so you know whoever that is, you know,

392
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: beal Oladipo, whoever. I think that's in play. So I

393
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: like what the Heat did. We don't need to spend

394
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: a lot of time on them. But they basically brought

395
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: it back, but just didn't handcuff himself for long term money.

396
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: It is a sort of a win win to me,

397
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: still a good team, still got their good players, but

398
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: they can still make a lot of moves here and

399
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty one obviously class if some of the

400
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: big names are available, yore, honest and so on, well

401
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: they could be in play because they could open up

402
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: the money to go go get one of those guys.

403
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: All right.

404
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: The next question, though, this is a fun one. I mean,

405
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: we've too much positive talk here on a Saturday for me.

406
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: Things that make you go huh hmmm. What was the

407
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: wildest signing from day one task get as started, which

408
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: one just like had you going.

409
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: What there's a bunch of guys on the wing signing

410
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 4: for four and monster numbers and Joe Harris is one

411
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: of them. Four years, seventy five million, bah Yeah, especially

412
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: with the Brooklyn Nets where Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant

413
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 4: heard there's only one basketball, but Joe Harris is gonna

414
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: want to shoot that thing. They also got Landry Shammont

415
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 4: a few days ago, which was a great pickup. But

416
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: I'm most surprised. Number one, the dollar figure for Joe Harris,

417
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: who's incredible shooter. It's a big, big number. And second,

418
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: when Kyrie Irving was in the middle of the season

419
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: there and he took to the mic after a tough

420
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: loss and he said, listen, we knew that this was

421
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 4: gonna be a rebuilding year myself, KD. Carris, jared this guy,

422
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 4: this guy, this guy will be back. We'll be all right.

423
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 4: But he didn't name Joe Harris. So I'm just shocked

424
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: that Joe Harris is coming back after he wasn't named

425
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: by Kyrie Irving. I think it's a smart signing to

426
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 4: have incredible shooters around, especially with Mike D'Antoni there, Steve

427
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 4: Nash there. They're gonna want shooters around those two guys.

428
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: It's just a big dollar figure. Just didn't see that

429
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: coming out of anywhere. Joe Harris has made these money

430
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 4: for himself. Congrats to him, and.

431
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 5: He could have made more too. Apparently, apparently there were

432
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 5: a lot of suitors out there for him, and he

433
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 5: took a bit of a discount to stay in Brooklyn.

434
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 5: So I wonder what he turned down. I mean, you

435
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 5: figured someone was probably gonna offer him ninety ninety five million,

436
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: and he said, no, I want to stay in Brooklyn.

437
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 5: I guess he sees it is a good fit. I

438
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 5: think it is actually right? Sure, right, but all you

439
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 5: have to do is basically shoot threes and you're going

440
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: to get some opportunity to shoot them. But twenty million

441
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 5: for four years at that I think, yeah, I think

442
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 5: that I would. I think that's a great spot for

443
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 5: Joe Harris.

444
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: Well, Lee, I saw you asked the question on Twitter

445
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: last night. So Joe Harris resigns with the Nets four year,

446
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: seventy five million, Davas Burton's resigns with the Wizards for

447
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: five years eighty million, with an ETO after the fourth. Here,

448
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. But you said right, correct me

449
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. Basically like who's better or who would

450
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: you want? Would you draw that value? Yeah, and that

451
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: type of deal. Let's throw it at Trey Kirby. I

452
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you responded to the tweet. Maybe I

453
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: should have went and checked, but if you did, please

454
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: recite it. No way, Okay, Well, who would you rather

455
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: have or who's a better play in your mind in

456
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: terms of the money.

457
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: I mean I would go with Burton's. But literally, the

458
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: only reason I'm saying this is because he's taller. I

459
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 2: don't know if that makes any sense, but I got

460
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: a little bit more faith that he's going to be

461
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: able to continue to get shots up. Obviously, Joe Harris

462
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 2: has a little bit more of a track record making shots.

463
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: You know, he won a three point contest, He's had

464
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: a couple of more seasons of three point shooting spectacularness.

465
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: And he does have a little bit of experience playing

466
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: on a super team. He was there as a rookie

467
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: when Lebron James was a Cleveland Cavalier. I still remember

468
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: David Blatt starting him as a rookie alongside Kyrie Irving

469
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: and Kevin Love and Lebron. Pretty weird to think that

470
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: Joe Harris was a starter back in the day. But yeah,

471
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: he'll fit in nicely. It's just going to be a

472
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: lot of pressure of him on him come playoff time.

473
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: We don't know exactly what the NETS team's going to

474
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 2: look like, but we know Katie and Kyrie are going

475
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: to be there, which means Joe Harris isn't going to

476
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: get a ton of shots. But every time he gets him,

477
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 2: you got to knock him down, especially when you're making

478
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: almost twenty five milli year.

479
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you agree with that task or Burton's Joe Harris

480
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: too similar to even you know, decide what do you think?

481
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 4: Well, I would like to see Davis Burton's on a

482
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 4: contending type team where you know, there is a little

483
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: bit more pressure than what he had last year. A

484
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 4: guy coming off the bench Joe Harris, Now you sure

485
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 4: there's pressure on him as a guy making nineteen mil,

486
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: but it's a lot different than last year when they

487
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 4: basically were the team that no one believed in in

488
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 4: the in the bubble, you had to do a lot

489
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: of dribbling, and now it's just catching shoot baby, And

490
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: I think that's what Davias Burton's had to do off

491
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 4: the bench last year for the for the Whiz, so

492
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 4: you know, it's pretty much the same. But yeah, I

493
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: think height is important, so I might take Davias Burton's

494
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think Joe's got a little bit

495
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 4: more of a handle and he's got the track record.

496
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: Joe Harris much more handsome than the lat fiand laser though.

497
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, right with that beard. He's a rugging

498
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: looking man.

499
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: You grow one beard, and I think he's normal looking.

500
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: I mean, he looks like a guy named.

501
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: That's not what I asked. I said, Is he better looking?

502
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: Than the lat Fan laser.

503
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: Hey, man, we got a lot of Latvians in this

504
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: family over here. I'm not taking up arms against.

505
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 4: Those, right. I think Daris Burton's got the family.

506
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, Joe Harris getting paid same with Burton's there, Trey,

507
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: what what had you a little perplexed last night or

508
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: early this morning? I don't know how late you stayed

509
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: up again after that draft night where you were up

510
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: till two thirty? When'd you go to bed last night?

511
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 4: Now?

512
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: I need to know just one thirty last night?

513
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh ye, seez this guy is an owl man. Anyway,

514
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: what was the craziest.

515
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 2: I'm an owl man. A weird one for me was

516
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: the whole Christian Wood signing with the Houston Rockets. He

517
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: signed pretty quickly, you know, three years, twenty seven million.

518
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: Everybody saying, oh, look at this, the Rockets are actually

519
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: spending a little bit of money here. They're going with

520
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: their mid level exception. Everybody's mind is blown because the

521
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: Pistons give Mason Plumbley three years for twenty five million.

522
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: Christian Wood supposedly is better than Plumbley. But then Seoan's

523
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: tweets that christian Wood remains engaged with interested teams, and

524
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: then an hour later he's signed for three years, forty

525
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: one million yeah, from the Houston Rockets. The man negotiated

526
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: a fourteen million dollar raise because of the Internet is

527
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: what it seemed like. Everybody was going crazy that Plumbley

528
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: got such a big deal and Christian Wood did not.

529
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 2: But also still a weird signing. I do think for

530
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: the Rockets because it seems like they're gonna be a

531
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: rebuilding team. They do still have James Harden and Russell

532
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: Westbrook right now. They do need a center because it

533
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: doesn't look like they're gonna be playing pocket Rockets basketball

534
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: next season, so they needed somebody around and Wood is

535
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: gonna be a good player. But it just seems like

536
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: maybe you're spending money on a center when you're gonna

537
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: be one of the worst teams in the league. If

538
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: all of these trades eventually do go through, I know

539
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: they want to get uncomfortable. You can definitely get uncomfortable

540
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: with Christian Wood. Let me tell you, growing up with

541
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: a dad who's a pastor, you can get in trouble

542
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: with Christian Wood. But all things considered, this seems to

543
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: be a pretty good move for the Rockets. You know,

544
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: I don't know a lot about Christian Wood. I'm not

545
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: gonna lie to you. I wasn't watching the Pistons after

546
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: the trade deadline when he was putting up massive numbers

547
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: for a team that nobody cares about. I'm always skeptical

548
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 2: in that big guys, it's easy to put up rebounding

549
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 2: numbers because you're standing next to the rim. Nonetheless, they

550
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: needed a center. They got one. It was very weird though,

551
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: how it went down.

552
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you said that about Christian Wood. It

553
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: feels like there's no other player in the league right

554
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: now where for whatever reason, people are like really high

555
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: on him. Okay, get it, I get his age, I

556
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: get the numbers he put up in Detroit. But I'm convinced,

557
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: like ninety percent of those people saying, Wow, Christian Wood's

558
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: really good, He's gonna be really good, they've never seen

559
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 1: him play. I'm absolutely convinced of it. Like because exactly

560
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: like you said, Tree, I don't think a lot of

561
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: these people were watching the Pistons in Christian Wood. And

562
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: I'm not even pretended I saw a whole lot of them.

563
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: I don't even have much of an opinion on him,

564
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: but it's not as high as most people.

565
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 4: I know that.

566
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: But I'm happy you got paid look three forty one

567
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: and getting a little bit more of the Rockets, like

568
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: you said, thanks to Twitter. But yeah, I just think

569
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: people are going a little overboard. But maybe I'm wrong.

570
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: Maybe the people that actually have watched them were like, no,

571
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: this kid's good. Did he not play for the Rockets

572
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: like in a G League team or I mean, excuse me,

573
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: like a Vegas Summer league roster way back in the

574
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: day too. I think they may have had the first

575
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: flyer on him, if I have that correct. But anyway,

576
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: he is going to Houston Christian One. Yeah, I was

577
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: hoping he I was holing he at least signed like

578
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: early Saturday morning for a Morning Wood joke or something

579
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: like that. But he took it next level with the

580
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: Christian When I'll give you that, a lee, what do

581
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: you got for a wild signing in your opinion?

582
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 5: From there? Well, this one was crazy. Last night, at

583
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: seven seventeen PM, seventeen minutes or I guess it was

584
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 5: an hour and seventeen minutes after free agency opened, Dwight

585
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 5: Howard tweeted YEP that he was going back or staying

586
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 5: I guess in Los Angeles. He was very excited. He said,

587
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 5: I'm staying right where I belong, Lake in Nation. I

588
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 5: love your purple and gold never gets old, right, perfect, Well,

589
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 5: apparently it wasn't perfect because apparently that hadn't been agreed

590
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 5: to yet.

591
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: Dwight.

592
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 5: Chris Haynes had a bit of a breakdown on ya,

593
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 5: who's saying that Dwight thought he'd was given an offer,

594
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 5: but it wasn't really a formal off. I hadn't been

595
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 5: signed off on from Lakers ownership yet, right, So Dwight,

596
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 5: Dwight announced that, and very quickly he deleted it, and

597
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: Shams tweeted out basically saying there's no deal. Dwight's considering

598
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 5: his Dwight is still considering his options. And then and

599
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 5: then and so, you know, like everyone was just laughing

600
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 5: and having fun, assuming that it was more just a

601
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 5: formality and maybe a paperwork issue there. But then about

602
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 5: an hour later, we find out that Daryl Morey has

603
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: swooped in and signed him in Philadelphia.

604
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: So Dwight is actually now joining the Sixers next year.

605
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 5: On a one year deal, which is gonna make the

606
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 5: most hilarious a combination of him and Joel Embiid on

607
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 5: social media. It's going to be so much fun to watch.

608
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 5: And it's not a bad signing actually for the Sixes

609
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 5: to have him again. If he can do what he

610
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 5: did for the Lakers last year and just provide some

611
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 5: impact when he comes off the bench, and that's great.

612
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: That's certainly something the Sixes need. But just the hilarity

613
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 5: of how it went down last night was just incredible.

614
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: To see a player say he's staying with the team

615
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 5: and an agent saying no, no, you're still considering your options, okay,

616
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: and then he ends up signing with a completely different

617
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 5: team that no one saw whatsoever, because going in I

618
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 5: assumed it was a formality. Why wouldn't Dwight stay in LA.

619
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 5: He can potentially win a championship again. He rehabbed his

620
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 5: image last year and his reputation so well, he's happy

621
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 5: in that role. You'd think it was just like, yeah,

622
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: Dwight's staying in LA, but instead he's going to Philadelphia.

623
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 5: And just what an awesome moment it was on Twitter

624
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 5: last night.

625
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: That was funny. I'm always amazed that people have the

626
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: foresight to u screen grab these tweets too, like it

627
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: wasn't uplong than Dwight, right, he puts it up and

628
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: then he was like, oh, somebody tells him obviously, No,

629
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: this was not done taking down and it gets deleted

630
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: very quickly. But you know, ten people, one hundred people

631
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: have already screen grabbed it, and like you just showed us,

632
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: it's uh lives forever on the internet. Do people just

633
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: screen grab every tweet that I'm convinced.

634
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: Automatically just so he can burn somebody a little bit later.

635
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't think it was deleted in the

636
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 4: first place. I think that was the problem. The next

637
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: report came out, Seanp's came out and said it was

638
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: considering his options because our own DA said, well, this

639
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 4: was on his website five minutes ago. I think he

640
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 4: was ada was able to go back and go snip

641
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 4: snip and put it up. Because yeah, there's a lot

642
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: of just a puzzling night. Puzzling. Also that the rumors

643
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 4: Dwight Howard wants more pt more playing time and that's

644
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 4: why he's going to Philadelphia. I just wonder how that's

645
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: all going to play. Yeah, you got job starting in

646
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 4: front of you. One two, you're not on Lebron's team anymore,

647
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 4: where everything is clearly defined. You're going to Philadelphia where

648
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 4: everything's a little bit more mischi mashey. So I don't know.

649
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 4: I don't know how this is going to work out.

650
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if Dwight's going to be throwing elbows

651
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia like you did against Samuel Dallenberry. Like there's

652
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 4: it's just I'm not a fan of this signing. It's

653
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 4: just you, Daryl moriy brought in all this, these solid

654
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 4: pieces that make sense, and then this one. To me,

655
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 4: what's what's really the motivation there? I don't know.

656
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: You. Well, b does get hurt a lot. Yeah, it

657
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: does miss a lot of time. And they're gonna be

658
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: able to bring in a pretty solid guy who will

659
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: be able to play pick roll next to Ben Simmons.

660
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: You gotta imagine there will be a little bit more

661
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: pick and roll going on with the seventy six ers.

662
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: I just think it's a It's a pretty solid signing.

663
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Dwight was great as a backup center for the Lakers

664
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: last year. I mean, things kind of went a little

665
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: haywire when he had four months off and got to

666
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: talk to the media a lot. But He's gonna be

667
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: a solid player on a minimum contract. I just love

668
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: that Daryl Morey apparently knows exactly the way into Dwight

669
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: Howard's heart anytime he has a chance to lure him

670
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: as a free agent, just whispers as sweet nothings, and

671
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: Dwight's ready to sign on the dot line.

672
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: With the sweet whispers, or Dwight's like Joe, you talked

673
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: about timing too, tass It. I thought yesterday was strange,

674
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: and I think it was a fallout from the Bugdanovic

675
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: dilemma or mishap or whatever you want to call it

676
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: between the Bucks and the Kings and the tampering and

677
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: the investigation. Like usually with free agency, Yeah, okay, six

678
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: o'clock hits and then you know at six oh one

679
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: we have like twelve deals agreed to, or even prior

680
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: to the six pm you know deadline or whatever the

681
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: deadline is set. That wasn't really the case yesterday. You

682
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: could see that teams, agents, players were like a little

683
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: bit more hesitant to make sure they had everything lined

684
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: up and all the paperwork correct before like sort of

685
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: news got leaked to Shams and Woes and some of

686
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: the other guys am I am I wrong in thinking

687
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: that it felt a little bit more by the book

688
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: because everyone was a little bit like hesitant to have

689
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: another Bogdanovic a situation here.

690
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: No, yeah, you don't want to get caught in that

691
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: investigation after it went down with bogdan everybody was a

692
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: slow pedaling it a.

693
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: Little yeah, oh yeah, it felt like that for sure.

694
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, So the one team or the wildest signings

695
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: that had me going, huh, I guess I'll just say

696
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: all things Pistons related. What a fascinating, fascinating Friday night

697
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: from Detroit. And this continued after a flurry of moves

698
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: that they made on Wednesday during the NBA Draft. Troy

699
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: Weaver he said he was gonna be agressive. The guy's

700
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: going nuts right now. I don't know what is going on.

701
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm a GM GM what do I do?

702
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: I can do everything.

703
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: I finally out the power of right, let's move that guy.

704
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: Let's shit that.

705
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 1: Anyway, they were very active in the startup free agency.

706
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: They added several centers, i mean, players to their team.

707
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: So let's go through them all here. Now. I like

708
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: some of these moves and I hate some of them,

709
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: sort of like what happened with their draft. They're just

710
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: all over the board. Jeremy Grant. He signed with the

711
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Pistons for three years, sixty million dollars twenty million per

712
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: year for Jeremy Grant. Now, Denver was reportedly interested in

713
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: keeping him, but he opted to join Detroit because he

714
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: wants a larger role. So I assume that means he's

715
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: going to be the starting small forward for the Pistons.

716
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: Sex here all right, Mason Plumley, we threw his name

717
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: out there. He signed with the Pistons for three years,

718
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars. That basically meant right there that

719
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Christian Wood was gone and he is. Julia lookafor signed

720
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: with the Pistons for two years. Another center, Josh Jackson.

721
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: I believe in Detroit native he signed with the Pistons.

722
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: I think that's another two year deal. Those guys, by

723
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: the way, were like high draft picks, you know, back

724
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen with okafor Josh Jackson twenty seventeen. Hilarious.

725
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: And then they had a trade too. There was a

726
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: sort of, I don't know, complicated multi team deal that

727
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: included the Rockets and the thunder. Delon Wright is coming

728
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: to Detroit. So again, I like some of these moves,

729
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: but a lot of it was where are they going here?

730
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: Like I love the Delon Wright pickup. I gotta be honest,

731
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: because they turned Trevor Ariza into really him and I

732
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: liked that move. Maybe it's because I'm a raps fan.

733
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: I liked Delon right when he was with Toronto. He

734
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: was sort of lost a little bit in Dallas with

735
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: the type of you know, system that they had, But

736
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: I think he could work well for Casey again in

737
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: in Detroit now. But man, the centers and all this, Like,

738
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're setting up for a big

739
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,479
Speaker 1: blake trade here because they have a lot of somewhat

740
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: movable contracts. But that was am I Alonely, that was

741
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: a confusing night from the Detroit confusing the last couple

742
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: of days over.

743
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 5: Yes, Jelil Okaford just came out of nowhere and signed

744
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 5: there in Detroit. I mean I was seeing the Pelicans

745
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 5: last season. I can't even remember where he was, which

746
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 5: I mean, his career just did fall off a cliff.

747
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: Prot okay okay. Tass said he couldn't believe Steven Adams

748
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: is twenty seven. Yeah, Julia lucafor I think is only

749
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: twenty four years old. Four Yeah, that was in seed.

750
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: He feels yeah, at least twenty seven. It's not only

751
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: but yeah, anyway, so keep up.

752
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, but again, what we sort of said the

753
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 5: other day with the Pistons, like, it's not a sort

754
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 5: of destination where you are going to get the big names.

755
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 5: So Jeremy Grant is a very good signing for them.

756
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 5: I think the Nuggers are going to miss him badly.

757
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: I thought he was very very good for them down

758
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 5: in the bubble, and he's exactly the sort of role

759
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 5: player that Denver needs and is going to miss. So

760
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 5: twenty million for him, he's getting paid, so he's he's

761
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 5: good there. But a lot of the other ones, Yeah,

762
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: you're just sort of wondering, like how is this guy

763
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 5: gonna fit? How long is he going to be there for,

764
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 5: and what's he going to really change to that team.

765
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 5: But if you are Troy Weaver, like you said, you've

766
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 5: just got to go out there and take a few

767
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 5: flyers out there on these guys if you can, and

768
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 5: see who works out and see who doesn't, because not

769
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 5: everyone is going to work out. But you know, I

770
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 5: think for the Pistons, you're a better team. I think

771
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 5: think your ability it's hot. I think they're a bit

772
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 5: of taken than they would last season.

773
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: I think they're a better team because they might be

774
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: the worst team in the league this year. I think

775
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 2: that's a great plan. Good job signing all of these

776
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: bad players to big contracts, because somebody's got to be bad.

777
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: There's seems like twenty five teams in the league are

778
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: trying to win right now, basically everybody except for the

779
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: Thunder and the Pistons really and so now they're going

780
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 2: to get a shot at a very high draft pick

781
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: next year. Likely Blake will be moved at some point

782
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: if somebody is willing to take a chance on his

783
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: playmaking and the way you could fit him in as

784
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: maybe a last piece on a contending team. I don't

785
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: imagine they're done with their moves, but it was hilarious

786
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: to see them bursting onto the scene to be the

787
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: first ones to sign anybody. It was similar to timofey

788
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: Mosgoff and Lull Dang signing with the Lakers like four

789
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: seconds into free agency back in twenty sixteen. Seeing these

790
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 2: huge deals for Plumbly and then digging out Oka four

791
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: to give them a deal. At one point they had

792
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: acquired five centers in like forty eight hours. Unbelievable stuff.

793
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty.

794
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess stretching Dwayne Deadman's contract and Magruder's contract.

795
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: So there's they're stretching out that money. Yeah, they're not done.

796
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: They're very likely not done. You're right, And I mean

797
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: I said it after the draft. I'm with you, Trey.

798
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be brutal. They're gonna be bad. That's totally fine.

799
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: They need a top pick, they need a star that

800
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: they can draft. You know, maybe in twenty twenty one.

801
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna build up. You know, they're

802
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: try to build up, you know, Blake his value, trade him,

803
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: Derrick Rose, same thing, and then just sort of lean

804
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: into this very strange, obviously young team with coach Casey

805
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: and and again try and land to land a top pick,

806
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: top three. I know the lottery odds make that a

807
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 1: little more difficult because you never know, but they're gonna

808
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: be in the mix. I mean they're gonna have to,

809
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, cross their fingers and hope they land super

810
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: super high. But they should because they're gonna be Garbage.

811
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: I think, what's horrible.

812
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 5: What's my buddy Grishbain signing? You know, like he must

813
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 5: have been texting you last night.

814
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he was excited about the Jeremy Grant signing,

815
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: but he spelled Jeremy's name wrong, so you can tell

816
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: he's a big fan of Jeremy Grant.

817
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: Garammy Grant. The Garremy Grant signing. That was a pretty surprising,

818
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 2: especially because the reports came out soon thereafter that the

819
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: Nuggets had offered him the exact same deal that he

820
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: signed with the Pistons, but he wanted the ball a

821
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: lot more. I think this is a bigger loss for

822
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 2: the Nuggets than it is a gain for the Jeremy Grant.

823
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: It's fun to be underrated, but when you get paid

824
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 2: a lot of money and you're gonna have the ball

825
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: in your hands a lot of time, you can get

826
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: overrated pretty quickly.

827
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one more I'll just throw in here. That

828
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: had me, I guess a little shocked. It was sixty

829
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: million dollars as well fourth year team option, but it

830
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: was a four year deal. Mike Malik excuse me, Beasley

831
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: almost said, Michael Beasley. Malik Beasley signing with the Wolves,

832
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: you know, re signing to stay there. Just interesting for

833
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. One, I mean, he's a shooting guard.

834
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: I guess maybe they're hoping you play small forward. But

835
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: they just drafted Anthony Edwards and you would think at

836
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: the number one pick, you're gonna give him a chance

837
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: at the two spot and he would get a lot

838
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: of those minutes. And then also you got Rubio and D'Angelo,

839
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: so like d Angelo, if they're both out there, is

840
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: gonna be playing too, So that's weird, just like where

841
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: does he sl in. He also was arrested this offseason

842
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: and charged with felony threats of violence and fifth degree

843
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: drug possession. So you know, I guess the Wolves are

844
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: pretty confident in the way that case is going to

845
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: go or the way those charges are going to be

846
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: either dropped or whatever, that they're willing to go four year,

847
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars for this guy. I think he's a

848
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: good player. I don't think it's an insane contract, but

849
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: the the fits a little weird. Again, maybe they think

850
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: he can play small for it. I don't know if

851
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: he can. He's not huge, Like yeah, in my head,

852
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: I always think he's bigger than he is, but he's

853
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: more of a shooting guard sort of size, I think,

854
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: so we'll see. That one had me a little perplex

855
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: but it was a fun, fun first thing. Oh, let's

856
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: keep it moving here. What was the best signing. Let's

857
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: just like go specific sort of signing or trade or whatever,

858
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: but the best signing from day one or free agency?

859
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: What do you got to task?

860
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 4: Well, when you look at the Hawks signing Danilo Gallinari,

861
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 4: who at some point people thought was going to be

862
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 4: the biggest name moved as a free agent for three

863
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 4: years and sixty one point five million dollars twenty million

864
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 4: dollars a year for a guy who's you know, thirty plus. Now,

865
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 4: it looks like a lot on paper, I guess because

866
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 4: Gallinari has been around for a long time and you know,

867
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 4: technically passed his prime. But he is a very very

868
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 4: solid guy. And I likened it to Paul Millsap being

869
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 4: signed by the Nuggets a few years ago. Get an

870
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 4: a vet while you have lots and lots and lots

871
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 4: of cap room and you're not crippling yourself too long

872
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 4: in the future, I think it'll be totally fine on

873
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 4: their books. Travis Slank is very good at that with

874
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: the Hawks. So three years twenty per for Danilo Gallinari,

875
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 4: who is a shot maker and will make shots when

876
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 4: Trey Young gives him the ball. I think it just

877
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 4: fits on the court really really well. They needed a

878
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 4: guy who he could just pass it to. Now it's

879
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 4: you're just talking about the Wolves really really crowded backcourt.

880
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 4: The Hawks front court is now crowded. Gallinari is a

881
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 4: four these days, he's not playing the three. John Collins

882
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 4: is also a four. A Nyekka. They just drafted a five.

883
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 4: They have Clint Capella at the five. That's a lot

884
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: of bodies for sure. But I think just like the Wolves,

885
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 4: everybody's on the table. You know, they have contracts at

886
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 4: every range. I think that's sort of why the Wolves

887
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 4: signed Leak Beasley Tod that number. They've got contracts that

888
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 4: they can throw in as an asset, as a dollar

889
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 4: value whenever, and so the Hawks are ready to deal.

890
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 4: I don't think Dollinari, like Paul millsap in Denver, is

891
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 4: part of the championship roster that the envision years down

892
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 4: the road. But when you got money and you got

893
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 4: a guy who can make shots, I think it just

894
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 4: it makes sense again, not crippling your your your number

895
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 4: in the future, and they just they're just desperate, you know,

896
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 4: when when the ball is out of Tree Young's hands

897
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 4: for somebody to be able to create. And Gollinari you

898
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: can count on. He's, you know, borderline All Star guy

899
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: because he's he's that good. So I think he's he's

900
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 4: gonna have fun. He's going to get basically whatever shots

901
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 4: he wants next year. It is confusing how it's all

902
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 4: going to play out, though, with John Collins still has

903
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 4: the ability to sign a long term deal. What is

904
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 4: going on there in that front court? That's a fair question,

905
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 4: especially when when they make that draft pick a few

906
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 4: days ago, it's it's clogged. But on the floor, I

907
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 4: think he's gonna be pretty pretty happy.

908
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the two questions with this Gallinari signing.

909
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: To me, It's one, yeah, what are they doing John Collins?

910
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: Is he on the move because they don't have a

911
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of time here to decide on whether they're going

912
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: to pay him right, he's up for an extension now

913
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: and then he's a restricted free agent after next season

914
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: or after this season, excuse me. And then yeah, are

915
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: they an eight seed? Are they a seven seed?

916
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 2: Like?

917
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: Does Gallinari get them into the playoffs?

918
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 5: Tasks?

919
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's why they're baking on that for sure.

920
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 5: It's his durability that's a question as well. He often

921
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 5: misses a lot of games. Last season actually played a

922
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 5: lot of games for his standards, and he was good

923
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 5: at times for the Thunder in the playoffs. So he's

924
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 5: that veteran who you know can get you a bucket.

925
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 5: Not a great defender, that's one of his weaknesses. And yeah,

926
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 5: is he going to be out there? You're paying guy

927
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: twenty million just to sort of make threes and hit

928
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 5: a few shots. Fine, because he can do that, but

929
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 5: what else does he sort of give you outside of

930
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 5: that at this stage of his career. Not a lot.

931
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 5: And again, are you going to get more than fifty

932
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 5: or sixty aims out of him a season? That's that's

933
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 5: a big question, I think, But I think again, if

934
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,479
Speaker 5: you are the Hawks, Travis Schlank is basically just saying

935
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 5: Trey Young is going to have the ball in his

936
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 5: hands and if he gets a lot of the defensive

937
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 5: pressure and he can fire it out to a guy

938
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 5: who you know can make shots, then that's what we're

939
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: paying for. So it's one of those moves. It's like, yeah,

940
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 5: you can see why the Hawks made this move. They're

941
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 5: hoping it pays off for them. Could backfire a little

942
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 5: bit though, if Gallinari just can't stay on the floor,

943
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 5: and if defensively he's just a bit of a sieve,

944
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 5: so we'll see.

945
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: But they still have cap space too. I mean, yeah,

946
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: you could not be done. They had a ton of it.

947
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: I think Bogdanovitch is still being tied, still being tied

948
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: with them, so I don't think it'll bring him in

949
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: as well. It'd be pretty impressive, yea.

950
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 2: I was.

951
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: I was pumped to see Vince Carter, you know, post

952
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 4: career here saying my sources say that the Hawks could

953
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 4: get two of Region Rondo bogged down, Bogdanovitch, danieladan are Vc.

954
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 4: I believe him when he talks, when he says he's

955
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 4: got sauces, pour that sauce on me, baby, I believe

956
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 4: everything comes out of his mouth.

957
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: Try anything to add about the Hawks and gallin are

958
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: you there?

959
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna be good on offense, and I think that

960
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: that'll at least be a fun thing to watch. You

961
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: know it's not gonna be all Trey Young all the time.

962
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a huge, a huge burden for Clint Capella.

963
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: I think to be cleaning up a whole bunch of

964
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: mistakes because there's not many defenders on the Hawks right now.

965
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: But like Tas is saying, he's bringing up Vince Carter.

966
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: Vince Carter played sixty games for the Hawks last year.

967
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 2: He was in the top eight in their rotation. Even

968
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 2: if John Collins stays around, even if they've got this

969
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 2: huge glut of players in the front court, their depth

970
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: is a little bit better. And if they're gonna be

971
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: able to bring in either Bog Bog or raw Ron

972
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 2: Rajahn Rondo, if they're able to bring in a couple

973
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 2: of more players, the team is getting a little bit deeper.

974
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: They were playing a bunch of guys who were kind

975
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: of on the periphery of the NBA last year some

976
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 2: big minutes. We know Trey Young wanted some help here

977
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, and it looks like he's getting it at

978
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: least some players who are veterans, and they're gonna be

979
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 2: moving them to their next step of the rebuilding phases.

980
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 2: John Collins a part of that, I kind of think no,

981
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 2: but you also don't want to be trading away your

982
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: second best player, So we'll see the optics of that.

983
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: But it's an improvement for the Hawks, no doubt.

984
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, Lee, why don't you go next?

985
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 4: Here?

986
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: Best Saigning for in your opinion? D one, Well, I.

987
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 5: Think Derek Favors going back to the Utah Jazz is

988
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 5: going to be very important for Utah. They got him

989
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 5: basically on a steal as well, three years, twenty seven

990
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 5: million in that third year as a player option as well.

991
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 5: For Derek Favors, Now, he's one of the most underrated

992
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 5: players I think in the league, and he's not a

993
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 5: sexy name and he's not a highlight real guy, but

994
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 5: his impact on both ends of the floor for Utah

995
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 5: when he was there was significant, and I think they

996
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 5: missed him last season. I think part of the reason

997
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 5: the Jazz struggled defensively, especially was that he wasn't there

998
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 5: and Rudy got exposed a little bit more, and I

999
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 5: think Derek Favors covered up a little bit of those

1000
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 5: erarors that he'd made in the past. And so he

1001
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 5: goes back there to a team where he doesn't have

1002
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 5: to acclimatize to the team. He's the same coach, it's

1003
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 5: basically the same system, virtually the same roster. He's going

1004
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 5: to go in there and understand exactly what his role is.

1005
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 5: And I'm not going to go through all the geeky

1006
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 5: numbers here, but Andy Bailey had some about the impact

1007
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 5: he on both ends of the floor last night. He

1008
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 5: was tweeting out, so if you want to go and

1009
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 5: check it out there. He's got a great connection with

1010
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 5: Joe Ingles. He's just one of those very reliable, solid

1011
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 5: players the teams need, and the Jazz definitely missed him

1012
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 5: last season. So he goes back there, like I say,

1013
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 5: an incredible contract. Really, three years, twenty seven million, that like,

1014
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 5: that's just a steal these days for still a youngish

1015
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 5: guy who understands his role. So I think that's a

1016
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 5: that's a very very good signing by the Jazz. The

1017
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 5: Pelicans clearly from the moves they've made, they didn't need

1018
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 5: him either anymore. So he goes back to a situation

1019
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 5: where he's comfortable, he knows it already, and the Jazz

1020
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 5: should improve from it. So I like that one.

1021
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: They also the Jazz resigned Jordan Clarkson for four years

1022
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: fifty two million. He played really really well for them.

1023
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: When he came over coming off the.

1024
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 2: Betch, Yeah, he was shooting.

1025
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 5: He came out of there shooting.

1026
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: I thought he got a little more.

1027
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 5: I thought fifty two was a little more to pay

1028
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 5: for Jordan Clarkson because he had a new ownership.

1029
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: There in Utah. Yeah. I wait to see that come

1030
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: around and say, hey, let's throw that that money around.

1031
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: What's the company that Rain Smith. What's the name Raine.

1032
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 5: Stew It's uh, well, yeah, something cute. It's not tricks something, yeah,

1033
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 5: all of it. But Jordan clocks and yeah, he he

1034
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 5: is like a Lou Williams in the past, where you

1035
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 5: just if you come off the bench, you don't have

1036
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 5: to be a great defender. If you can just fill

1037
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 5: it up like he can, then uh then that's the

1038
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 5: role and you get paid for that. So good on

1039
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 5: him forgetting that. He just uh oh, he's not afraid

1040
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 5: to shoot the ball though, Jordan clocks and when he

1041
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 5: gets it in his hands, so good on him. He's

1042
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 5: got his money, and.

1043
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: Uh it was it's Ryan Smith is the new Utah

1044
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: Jazz owner. Tech billionaire co founded the online survey software

1045
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: company qual Tricks in Utah sold that startup for a

1046
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: cool eight billion dollars. Not bad, I guess he was

1047
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: a co founder of it, I should say. But anyway, Okay,

1048
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, you like the you like favors. Yeah, it's

1049
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: got to split that eight billion with some other person.

1050
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 2: Good.

1051
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, coming in there. And I will say too

1052
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: about the jazz Lee. They made some deals earlier this

1053
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: week that were money saving deals to make these signings happen.

1054
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about sending Tony brad to Detroit and

1055
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: Ed Davis to New York. Now they had to attach picks,

1056
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: like second round picks to that, but that gave them

1057
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: enough room here to sign Clarkson, resign him, and then

1058
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: go get favors. And you know, they still I think,

1059
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: stayed under the hard cap at the luxury tax Apron.

1060
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: So that's some pretty good work. Like that's like little

1061
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: like you got to think ahead with these things, right,

1062
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: they all work together, all these deals. Ultimately you look

1063
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: back and go, okay, we got this and this. Well

1064
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: they had to do that, unfortunately. And I like Ed

1065
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,240
Speaker 1: Davis and Tony Bradley. There's another guy that the Pistons

1066
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: have as a center about their team, Well, Bradley was.

1067
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 5: I was hoping he would kind of be a for

1068
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 5: five is, but but he wasn't as good as five is,

1069
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 5: So you know, you get the all go.

1070
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: So now the Pistons hope that he's Christian would two

1071
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: point oh basically what they're going to hook or at

1072
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: least he's like a plum, Like he's a plumblee four

1073
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: point zero or something.

1074
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they got a plumbley, didn't, right?

1075
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: You think Derek so many plums?

1076
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 4: I think Derek. Yeah, I think there's another Plumbley out there.

1077
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 4: Oh he's plumbly ready to be plucked somewhere. Do you

1078
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 4: think Derek favors starts like he used to because I

1079
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 4: assume not, but I don't think so.

1080
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

1081
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 4: Not true. They used to start him and Rudy Gobert

1082
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 4: that was four or five. But now you know Derek Ferris, so.

1083
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: I think he just shores up the defense when go

1084
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: Beart's off the floor, you'd think so, yeah, but who knows?

1085
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: They'll love options there? All right, Trey? What do you

1086
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: got for best signing? From day one a free agency?

1087
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 2: My favorite acquisition was the most expensive player of the day.

1088
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 2: I'm talking, of course, about Kelly Ubrey. The Warriors got

1089
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: him for a first round pick into a trade exception.

1090
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 2: You're thinking, this guy only makes fourteen million dollars, that's nothing.

1091
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 2: But as Bobby Marks of ESPN reported, yeah, he makes

1092
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: fourteen point four million for Ubra. But then you're adding

1093
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: another sixty eight million dollars in taxes, bringing us to

1094
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: a grand total of eighty two million dollars. Oh my god,

1095
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 2: for a season of Kelly Ubray junior. That's crazy. That's

1096
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: but I love it because does he make them a

1097
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: title contender again having lost Klay Thompson. Probably not. But

1098
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 2: it would have been very easy for the Warriors to say,

1099
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 2: we got no Clay, we got no chance, we're not

1100
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: spending any more money this year. But they went the

1101
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 2: other way and said we're spending a ton of money

1102
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 2: for a decent player, and that, to me is just

1103
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 2: good ownership, good management. As for the Thunder, they're getting

1104
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 2: very close to their ideal team of zero players sixty

1105
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: first round draft picks. You gotta love it from both sides.

1106
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I saw I forget who it was

1107
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter, so so I apologize, But like this idea,

1108
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: you're right, Tray of like if anything, Like Joe lacub

1109
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: like Warriors owner, he like sees the Clay injury, he's

1110
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: out for another year, and he like it's like a

1111
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder, Like, Oh yeah, you guys think

1112
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: we're just gonna like mail it in again. No, we're

1113
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: gonna go for it, Like I don't care what it costs.

1114
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and still contend and when it tis awesome, Yeah,

1115
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: I know it is. I mean, if you're a Warriors fan, absolutely,

1116
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: that's what you would want. Yeah, it's just it's incredible

1117
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: number that you're throwing out there for ultimately what it

1118
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: costs them to bring him in. But they had the

1119
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: trade exceptions, they had to use it from the igdollar

1120
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: they wanted to and yeah, they fold them in there,

1121
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: just still cost him a ton of money overall.

1122
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 2: A ton.

1123
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: It's crazy, man, man. Yeah, so much for our optimism.

1124
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: With Klay Thompson's and jury the other night, and obviously

1125
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: he's out for the season with the torn achilles. That

1126
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: sucks thoughts going out to Clay. Hopefully he'll be back

1127
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: a year from now and somehow back to form, but

1128
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: that that's a that's a borer. But Kelly Brad Junior, Yeah,

1129
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Trey, Like, no, not going to do

1130
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: what Clay does because Clay's not damn good, But you

1131
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: can fill somewhat of that role and he could be

1132
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: real good alongside a guy like Steph Curry, I think,

1133
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: and cutting off the ball and stuff like that.

1134
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 2: So and if you want to get crazy skeets, you

1135
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 2: can be like man Ubra and Wiggins out there on

1136
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: the wing. Those are some versatile athletic You gotbra Wiseman

1137
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 2: and Wiggins running the wings, running down the middle, Draymond distributing,

1138
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 2: and of course Steph Curry knocking him down from forty

1139
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 2: feet light years baby.

1140
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right.

1141
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 4: That's inevitably someone will say, oh, Andrew Wiggins overpaid, But

1142
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 4: he can just turn and say, this guy beside me, Kelly,

1143
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 4: he's the highest paid player in the league. Man, he's

1144
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 4: making over eighty million dollars. Well you just you thought

1145
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 4: you brought up their Utah ownership and qual tricks. Just

1146
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 4: think about eighty four million dollars they're willing to pay out.

1147
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 4: Just shows you what's going on in those books. And

1148
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 4: there's a lot of money in those books. They just

1149
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 4: built Chase to build Chase Center.

1150
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:19,399
Speaker 1: Feel bad.

1151
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 4: Don't ever feel bad, And nobody does, but some people do.

1152
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing. Or they're like, oh, like and ultimately,

1153
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 1: who cares what these guys are getting paid. It's not

1154
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: your money. I mean, like this is a perfect example.

1155
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: You're like, well, Kelly Uber, know, why would you ever

1156
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: pay that much?

1157
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: Well?

1158
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:35,760
Speaker 1: Who cares?

1159
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 5: I mean?

1160
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: And like this is with a brand new arena, no fans.

1161
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they are probably hemorrhaging a lot of money

1162
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: right now. Again, not to feel bad for him, because

1163
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: they have more than they can, more than they know

1164
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: what to do with.

1165
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 5: Leately, Yeah, well they're talking about trying to get those

1166
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 5: rapid tests so they can get fans into the arena too.

1167
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 5: I just don't think that's gonna happen. But that's right.

1168
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 5: They moved to San Francisco last season and it started

1169
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 5: off badly. You know, they had injuries to Clyde Thompson

1170
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 5: the course, and then Kevin Durant leaves, and then they

1171
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 5: were bad. And the season gets on hold and now yeah,

1172
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 5: they're even they're hemorrhaging even more money out there. But yeah,

1173
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 5: these guys have got plenty of money, and they never

1174
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 5: actually seem to be in debt either they or they

1175
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 5: never seem to lose it. They seem to be able

1176
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 5: to carry debt. That's just goes on and on and

1177
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 5: on forever. It's the same with Tilman for Titter. You know,

1178
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 5: like he apparently he's like but they're like they can

1179
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 5: just go further and further and further into debt. I

1180
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 5: don't understand how it works, but yeah, listen, man, if

1181
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 5: I'm Kelly ebro though I'm taking a victory lap around

1182
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 5: the league, you know how much I'm being paid or

1183
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 5: you know how much I'm responsible for this year? Eight

1184
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 5: some four.

1185
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 2: Million dollars eighty million dollar? Man, I love it.

1186
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Michael Jordan only made like one hundred and twelve

1187
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 5: million or something for his career.

1188
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Tasses thinking too. I hadn't thought

1189
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: about this with the Wiggans angle. It's like Wiggins might

1190
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: suffer because like everyone's like, oh, you're overpaid man, Like

1191
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: you're not. You don't live up to your contract. This

1192
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: is late year. As I had thinking from the Wars,

1193
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, hold on, if we make Kelly Hubray

1194
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: Junior basically an eighty million dollar man. Then people are

1195
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: gonna actually focus on him all the money he's getting,

1196
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: and that's gonna allow Wiggins to flourish again. That's next

1197
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: that's next level thinking. That is light years If that

1198
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: is the way it goes, so good on the Warriors. Wow,

1199
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: Kelly Oubradeuna has a lot of money.

1200
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 2: All right.

1201
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: I will just end this question here by going with

1202
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: the best signing from day one. In my opinion, should

1203
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: just go to the best player signed on day one,

1204
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: and it's actually a guy that re signed with his team,

1205
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: Daron Fox, agreeing to five year maximum rookie contract extension

1206
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: worth one hundred and sixty three million dollars with the

1207
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings. Of course, heys, no brainer. I love Daron Fox.

1208
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: He's on his way to being a star. He is

1209
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: not there yet. He's probably not even worth that money yet,

1210
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: that max deal yet. But the idea is he's going

1211
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: to play his way into it. They have him locked

1212
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: up until he's what twenty eight through his twenty eight

1213
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: age to season, so that's what you gotta do you're

1214
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: a small market team. He's also damn good already. He's

1215
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's averaging twenty one points per game, seven assists.

1216
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: We've talked about hell and coming in beside him, and

1217
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: Buddy is still there for right now. I guess bugged

1218
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: don him. It's just still there for now. But that

1219
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: extension is gonna kick in in twenty twenty one, twenty two,

1220
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: and good on him, you know, I'm happy for him.

1221
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: I was happy to see Devin Booker get paid and

1222
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, you'll never live up to it,

1223
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: and then he had eight games in the bubble. Everyone's like, oh,

1224
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: he might be underpaid. Well, I hope the same thing

1225
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: happens with Fox and he's improved. He's improved his usage

1226
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: and his true shooting percentage. I don't know what happened

1227
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: to his three point shot. Hopefully that bounces back as

1228
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: we move forward here. He had bad year last year

1229
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: from deep, but he's a damn good player and so

1230
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: good on the Kings. You lock up a guy that

1231
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: has that potential to be to be an All Star

1232
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: and All NBA like player and All defensive leg player.

1233
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: He's he's good and you gotta do it. Yeah, absolutely

1234
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: if your sacrament will have to do it.

1235
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 5: So yeah, that guy had no choice there at all.

1236
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: Sacraments, but you're also not like, oh no, you're screwed.

1237
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: He feels like he should be still, he feels like

1238
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: he puts in the work too. As long as he

1239
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: doesn't get injured. I mean that's you can say that

1240
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: with everybody. Then he's gonna, in theory, be sort of

1241
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: worth that sort of max type deal. And he has

1242
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of like incentives I guess in there that

1243
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: can get even higher. You're almost hoping he doesn't get

1244
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: too good if you're Sacramento right away, right because you know,

1245
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: if he makes all NBA teams, that bumps up that

1246
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 1: percentage that he can actually make. But I'm sure they

1247
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: would be happy with that if he's playing that well.

1248
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's end with this, guys, favorite minor deal

1249
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: from day one. I mean, we're obviously not going to

1250
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: get to everything here. I think we've touched on a lot,

1251
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: but a smaller deal. Task you can get us started

1252
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: that you're a fan of, idea where you're gonna go

1253
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: because you're a you're a Wesley Matthews fan.

1254
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 4: Task, you're leaning into that ear and my moon skeets

1255
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 4: Wesley Matthews going to the Lakers three point six million

1256
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 4: dollars as their three in d guy replacing Danny Green.

1257
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 4: Wesley Matthews. I don't think got enough of his shot

1258
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 4: in the playoffs with the Milwaukee Bucks. That's how much

1259
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 4: of a Wesley Matthews stan I am. He didn't finish

1260
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 4: the fourth quarters like he should have. I'm not sure

1261
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 4: why he should have been guarding Jimmy Butler a heck

1262
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 4: of a lot more. Now he's going to go to

1263
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 4: the Lakers, and unlike Danny Green, who was only able

1264
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 4: to be played about twenty five minutes a game, it's

1265
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 4: that's what Wes. I think, you know, approximately was getting

1266
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 4: last year too. With the Bucks. I think they're going

1267
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 4: to play him hard. I think he's going to play

1268
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 4: lots of minutes. I thing's going to be perfect at

1269
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 4: that number. Now he has another chance to win a title.

1270
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 4: Didn't get it with the Bucks. This is Wesley Matthews

1271
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 4: shot here just hoping he gets one because he deserves it.

1272
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: Didn't his dad play on the Lakers too?

1273
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, right.

1274
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 5: One of the titles, I think, yeah, Zavy McDaniel. There's

1275
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 5: a photo of famous photos Zay McDaniel chunkingthe yeah.

1276
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: All right, so that that has been a no brainer. Yeah,

1277
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: we we set that one up for a test. We

1278
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: thought he would go with Wes Matthews. It's a favorite

1279
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: minor deal of his, Trey, What do you got?

1280
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 2: Oh wait, you'll favorite players we love, don't we. Sometimes

1281
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: it's Deer and Fox, sometimes it's Wes Matthews, and sometimes

1282
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 2: it's a player that has your same name. Shout out

1283
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 2: to the Mavericks bringing Trey Burke back for a tiny

1284
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 2: deal three years, ten million. But I'm always going to

1285
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 2: be a try B fan. He's got my name, and

1286
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 2: he went to Michigan and he was good in the

1287
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 2: bubble last year, so the Mavericks are certainly hoping they

1288
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 2: get Bubble. Burke about twelve points a game. He shot

1289
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: over forty percent from three, and he just looked like

1290
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 2: kind of a Dallas Mavericks catch the ball, move the ball,

1291
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 2: dribble the ball, shoot the ball kind of player. He'll

1292
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 2: be in the mix for the backup point guard spot

1293
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 2: along with Jalen Brunson returning from injury. Obviously, he'll be

1294
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 2: able to play next to Luca, he'd be able to

1295
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 2: play next to Tim Hardaway, Junior, Josh Richardson. There's all

1296
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: these different rotation pieces that the Mavericks have in their

1297
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: back court now. And I think Trey Burke he was

1298
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: good for them last year. Philly shouldn't have let him

1299
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 2: get away during the season. He would have been a

1300
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 2: nice player for them to keep around on the cheap deal.

1301
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, three mil a year for Trey Burke, as

1302
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 2: long as he's hitting shots, it's gonna be worth it.

1303
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that one as well, Lee, what do

1304
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: you got minor deal?

1305
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 5: Well, in the last few years, we've all gotten excited

1306
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 5: when we had Milos Theodosich come over, we had Marcelo

1307
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 5: Huerta's come over from Europe, and now get excited for

1308
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 5: Facundo cam Basle, the Argentinian point guard who's been playing

1309
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 5: over there at Real Madrid. He's twenty nine. It just

1310
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 5: it's basically just it's the same as Tiodositch and twere

1311
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 5: if it's a great pass, a great court vision.

1312
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: Right, so that means nothing's going to happen. Well, that's

1313
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: the thing.

1314
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 5: That's the thing. I sort of, you know, have the

1315
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 5: feeling that he probably won't have much of an impact,

1316
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 5: but it's just exciting when we get one of these

1317
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 5: guys come over here. Again and he's going to have

1318
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 5: a few funny little moments and great passes. That's probably

1319
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 5: about what it's going to be, but still, why not.

1320
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 5: This is fun if you go and check out a

1321
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 5: few of his highlight reels, like he's got all that's Samah, Yeah, gorgeous,

1322
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,919
Speaker 5: gorge it's got a great name as well. I didn't

1323
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 5: see what the contract is, but I think he's twenty

1324
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:38,959
Speaker 5: nine for two years.

1325
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: Well, I saw it was two years.

1326
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 5: I didn't see any financial number, but it's probably ten

1327
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 5: million or something like that. But yeah, let's get excited.

1328
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 2: This is what we want.

1329
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 5: We always want these these guys who've been playing in

1330
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 5: Europe for a long time to come over and just

1331
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 5: give us a taste of whether or not they can

1332
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 5: make it in the NBA. I remember Yaskesha Fish, Oh

1333
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 5: my god, I can't say his name, yas a kesh Fish.

1334
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: Yes, pretty good.

1335
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 5: You know, he was another one we we sort of

1336
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 5: all had hopeful that he would come over and do it.

1337
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 5: But yeah, anyway, I'm excited. He's playing it in Denver

1338
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 5: as well, which is great. Playing alongside Nikola Jokic, so

1339
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 5: we should see some real funky passes between those two.

1340
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, go watch the dunk bait real of him of Compasso.

1341
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 4: My god, it does look like Tia dos on steroids.

1342
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 4: Because I think justince TiO Doosi has come along, the

1343
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 4: editing has gotten better. I think they're probably the exact

1344
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 4: same player, but it's just it's such a well edited

1345
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 4: it's just all the passes, Like, who cares if the

1346
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 4: guy finishes, it's just sexit pass, sexit pass, sexy pass.

1347
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 4: And apparently he can play defense as well. Nobody really

1348
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 4: cares when we're talking about this, but apparently he's a

1349
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 4: solid player. Oh, dunk comp not dunk bait. I've been

1350
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 4: dunk baited by Dunk so many dunk dunk. Yeah.

1351
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: With these signings, sometimes I think that the best part

1352
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 2: of it is seeing a high light tape from their

1353
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: play overseas throwing. We're seeing basically all of their best highlights.

1354
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: Then they come to the NBA, there's a few during

1355
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 2: the preseason. Maybe we had a cool play during the

1356
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 2: regular season, but then we just go back to watching

1357
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 2: the highlights from overseas. That's probably what will happen here,

1358
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: but it's always fun when it happens because we never

1359
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 2: get to see it in the NBA. Right, you always

1360
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 2: want to see what these guys are. Like. My big

1361
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 2: one is when is Sergio Yule come? We gotta get

1362
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Sergio Yule here. Darryl Morey, he was always trying to

1363
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 2: lure into Houston. I don't know how long those draft

1364
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 2: rights last. He's been a Rockets property for like two decades,

1365
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 2: it feels like, but uh, maybe he'll be able to

1366
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: figure out a way to get into the seventy ses.

1367
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 2: He's only thirty three, he has he's been around forever.

1368
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 5: Man, he's been a prospect for twenty years at least.

1369
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: I tweeted this last night too, Trey. I thought about

1370
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: it with the composo. I mean, we have so much

1371
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: fun saying Marco Bellanelli on this podcast. Composo is great.

1372
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

1373
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: So we hope that he's got some highlights so we

1374
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: can talk about him during the show every once in

1375
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: a while.

1376
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 2: Well, I heard Lee say that the passes in Denver

1377
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 2: gonna be funky, so funky. That works.

1378
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: My favorite minor deal from day one. I don't even

1379
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: know if no it's that miner. I guess you guys

1380
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: can tell me. But Derek Jones Junior, you talked about

1381
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Trey. He signed with the Blazers

1382
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: two years, nineteen million, so he got paid, and I

1383
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: think he's well worth it. But I just like overall

1384
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: what the Blazers are doing. Trade did the whole thing,

1385
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, getting Covington and Canter in trades and then

1386
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: resigning Rodney Hood and then adding really here, I think

1387
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: one of the because of his age, one of the

1388
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: more promising young free agents in the market in Derek

1389
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Jones Junior. I like it, and I don't know the

1390
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Blazers will try some zone out. He played a lot

1391
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: of the zone when he was out there for the

1392
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: heat because he's long and lanky and you can throw

1393
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: him at the top there. But I like that move.

1394
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: I also like Jamichael Green signing with the Nuggets for

1395
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: two years fifteen million. I don't know again if that's

1396
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: minor enough for you, but that's that's solid. You know,

1397
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: Grant Leaves, they go get him. They've wanted him for

1398
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: a long time, said Hollinger. And they still got to

1399
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: figure out what they're doing with Sap and Craig, but

1400
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: they got twenty million dollars left below the tax line

1401
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: to get it done. If they're bringing back those two

1402
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: guys as well, so we'll see jam Michael Green is

1403
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: just another solid big guy that you sort of want

1404
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: on your team. He's not gonna hurt you. He's not

1405
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna win you a whole lot of games or quarters

1406
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: in playoffs. But again, there's there's something to having guys

1407
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: like that in the mix that it can at least

1408
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: fill in and hit obviously three and give you some defense,

1409
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: a little bit contribute around the fringe. So I like

1410
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: that one as well.

1411
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 4: Subbing in for Mason Plumley as their backup center, right,

1412
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 4: I think it's a very solid move. But they I mean,

1413
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna miss jere Me Grant, but I think they're

1414
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 4: gonna do enough to figure it out there. And yeah,

1415
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 4: I definitely like Derek Jones Junior to Portland as well.

1416
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 4: Two years nineteen million. The confusing part is that's Mantres

1417
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 4: Harald money. I just right perplex they those two guys

1418
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 4: got the same dollar amount this year. Nuts.

1419
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: Let me just run through some other I'll call the

1420
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: major headlines from the last you know, twenty four hours

1421
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: or so, and you guys can jump in if you

1422
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: want to say anything about them. We're still waiting on

1423
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. He says he's going to take his time

1424
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: to sign his new contract. He's not leaving the Lakers.

1425
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Gordon to Hayward. The last I think I saw is

1426
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: that he's hoping to land a four year, one hundred

1427
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: million dollar type of deal in a sign and trade

1428
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: with the Pacers. He wants to go to Indiana, so

1429
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: that's the last I saw. Still, he hasn't nothing official yet,

1430
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: and maybe the Celtics and Pacers can work something out.

1431
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Not a surprise that, as we've joked about before, Hayward

1432
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: from Utah to Boston to Indiana the White trifecta would

1433
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: be pretty impressive. But I wonder what would cost because

1434
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: there's been reports like Ange is asking for the moon, right,

1435
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: he's asking for like, oh yeah, I'll give us Miles

1436
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 1: Turner and Victor Oli people, you got yourself a deal

1437
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: And they're like, no, we were thinking maybe TJ. Warren

1438
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: and like a holiday or something like that. So we'll

1439
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: see on that. We'll just wait on that one. Van

1440
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Vliet obviously one of the bigger names still unsigned. I

1441
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: guess Michael Grange tasks I think I know you got

1442
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: the raps Gurons, maybe you can back me up here.

1443
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I think he was tweeting out last night that he's

1444
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: going to meet with a bunch of teams today, including

1445
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: the Raptors, and go from there. I mean, there's still

1446
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: teams with cap space, but some are gone, like the Pistons.

1447
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: We thought we're going to be in play for Van Vliet.

1448
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: That's unlikely. We'll see what the Knicks are thinking, maybe

1449
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: even the Hawks still, but it's looking I think more

1450
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: and more likely that he maybe stays with the Raps.

1451
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah?

1452
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 4: I agree. I don't know what time it was, but

1453
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 4: I was extremely groggy looking at my phone and there

1454
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 4: was a tweet that said Frey van Vliet coming back

1455
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 4: to Toronto. It's a great signing. So I thought, well,

1456
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 4: in whatever state I was in, I could have been

1457
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 4: five am that he was coming back. So not sure

1458
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 4: if it was a dream, not sure if it was

1459
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 4: telling that he's coming back, but I think the Knicks

1460
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 4: are going to throw everything at him though.

1461
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 6: I think it's between Toronto and New York and just

1462
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 6: go back to Toronto, even if they have to have

1463
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 6: a pay a little bit. I think they want to

1464
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 6: keep him. I think they need to keep himside because

1465
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 6: I probably I don't know what what's happening with Surge there,

1466
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 6: so they're gonna probably lose him.

1467
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: Well, I was just gonna say, Serge Ibaka is apparently

1468
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: every team wants him.

1469
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, he might.

1470
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: There's something like over ten suitors for his uh for services,

1471
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: so he might he might move on. We'll see. Marcusol

1472
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: has been rumored to be tied to the Lakers. Of course,

1473
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: a long time ago we thought he might just go

1474
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: back to Spain. Who knows these stags as the Raptors.

1475
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: You're right there, Lely, So maybe it'll depend on what

1476
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: those guys decide as well. What else was I gonna?

1477
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: I was gonnadd one more little piece of news? Oh,

1478
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: I guess John Wall wants out of Washington. And then

1479
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: there was like rumors that the Rockets and Magic had

1480
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: discussed a Westbrook for Wall type of trade, but it

1481
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: didn't gain any traction. You're laughing at that, Lee that

1482
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Wall wants out?

1483
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 5: Oh well, yeah, I mean Washington. What a situation they're

1484
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 5: in there with John Wall because he hasn't played for

1485
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 5: basically two years, and he's still got like one hundred

1486
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 5: and thirty million on his contract I know we say

1487
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,919
Speaker 5: it all the time, no contract is untradeable, but way

1488
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 5: way does hell? Like, what can John'll sort of give

1489
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 5: you out that three years, one hundred and thirty million

1490
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 5: when he comes back, because he's probably still going to

1491
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 5: be a decent player, but we just haven't seen him

1492
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 5: play and a feel the Wizards, I mean, like, what

1493
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 5: sort of a market is there out there for him?

1494
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 5: I just I'm not sure if I'm sure if the

1495
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 5: Wizards can get off that contract, they would in a second,

1496
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 5: but it's going to be tough. But Washington's another weird

1497
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 5: city because no one wants to go and play there either.

1498
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 5: They've only got Wall and Beal because they drafted them.

1499
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 5: No One, no free agent wants to go and sign

1500
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 5: in Washington. So they need to hang on to their

1501
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 5: stars as best they can. And if one of them

1502
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 5: is saying I don't want to play here anymore, it's

1503
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 5: I mean, then Beal. Surely Beal's going to go too.

1504
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 5: If Wall goes, I don't see why he would stay.

1505
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 4: I don't know Andrew Nicholson wanted to go there. Yeah,

1506
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 4: it's weird. Well, only a few weeks ago said he

1507
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 4: was really, really really pumped to play with Bradley Beal.

1508
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 4: And yeah, the last couple of years, I mean, the

1509
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 4: only sort of memorable moment we've had from him hasn't

1510
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 4: been on the basketball floor is when he was playing

1511
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 4: car during a television interview. So it's just it's strange.

1512
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 4: I'd like to see him back on the court to

1513
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 4: see what him and Bradley Beal can do. Yeah, I

1514
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 4: don't want this talk. Just get back happy, Just get

1515
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 4: back playing. Because it's true, he's not going to a

1516
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 4: contender if he's getting dealt, Let's give it one year

1517
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 4: with Bradley Beal and see where you go. Let's do it.

1518
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Maybe John wall is worried that the Washington Wizards are

1519
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: going to be flipped with the Toronto Raptors in divisions

1520
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: and that the Wizards are going to be in the

1521
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: Atlantic Division. Because this is my final piece of news here.

1522
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: The Raptors are going to start next season in Tampa,

1523
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Florida because of travel restrictions the Canadian government has put

1524
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: in place stemming from the pandemic. Obviously, the Rap's been

1525
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: looking at spots for like weeks here. You know, Nashville

1526
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: was in the mix. Some other spots in Florida were

1527
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: in the mix, but with NBA training camp less than

1528
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: two weeks away, season starting on December twenty second, which

1529
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: is basically a month from today, the Raps had to

1530
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: make a decision. So they did. It's Tampa Florida, Tampa A.

1531
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: They will play at the same arena of the Stanley

1532
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning, so they will start there.

1533
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Now they're not in there, they might go back to Toronto.

1534
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: You never know during the break, but who knows in

1535
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty with what's going on. Yeah, but there's talk

1536
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,600
Speaker 1: of like them literally flipping divisions with.

1537
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't seem like that's gonna happen.

1538
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: Actually no, it's s Yeah, you're right because this makes sense,

1539
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 1: But it doesn't because we didn't think that. We thought

1540
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: the schedule was going to be more heavily favored or

1541
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: weighted tasks. You did especially like, and I agree with you,

1542
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: like they were going to play more games against their

1543
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: own division, But that's not really the case.

1544
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 4: Like, absolutely not. It's actually less so than in regular years.

1545
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 4: Usually you play your own division four times and then

1546
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 4: everybody else in the conference three times. Generally, Now they're

1547
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 4: playing everybody in the same conference three times. So it

1548
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 4: it's just strange. It would reduce travel, it would reduce miles.

1549
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 4: They wouldn't. They wouldn't rack up those frequent flyer miles

1550
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 4: as much. But yeah, it's a little strange to me

1551
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 4: that they wouldn't. I guess it's just a little gimmicky

1552
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 4: just to do it, just to flip divisions. Now we're

1553
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 4: flipping divisions for what reason really, But I was I

1554
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 4: was a little bit disappointed because if they did go

1555
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 4: to the Southeast Division against the Hawks and the Magic

1556
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 4: and the Heat, a good shot that they win that

1557
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 4: division and then they could hang a Southeast Division championship

1558
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 4: banner like they've hung the Atlantic Division championship Tampa Raptors

1559
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 4: up there.

1560
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: You better be able to buy Tampa Raptors here. They

1561
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: got to lean into this. I would love to get.

1562
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 2: Well, they just released all their new uniforms, right, but

1563
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 2: they all just say Raptors on them. They're not even

1564
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 2: gonna have to put the word Tampa on the front

1565
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:36,719
Speaker 2: of the jerseys.

1566
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 4: They knew, they well, they're never going to say Tampa Raptors.

1567
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 4: They're never gonna say Tampa Raptors. Like those two words

1568
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,759
Speaker 4: will never be places like the Blue Jays played in Buffalo.

1569
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 4: They were never the Buffalo Blue Jays.

1570
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 2: They were the New Tornets back in the day, the

1571
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 2: New Orleans, Oklahoma City Hornets, and I think it did

1572
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 2: say it on their jerseys, but that was a thousand

1573
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 2: years ago, so who.

1574
01:09:58,680 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 4: Knows it did.

1575
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that was a full season move, wasn't it.

1576
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 5: Because of the hurricane and stuff.

1577
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 4: Yeh, who knows what happens. The Raptors may go back

1578
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, depending on what the situation is. I

1579
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 4: just think that Marcus sol Now, the rumor was that

1580
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 4: he was going to go play in Spain. He'd be

1581
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 4: go playing against uh Fecundocundo's old team, what's what's that

1582
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 4: guy's name, Camposa or whatever, serunasy Avisticvisist coaching there in Spain.

1583
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 4: There were those rumors. Now there's the La rumors. I

1584
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 4: just don't think he's going to Tampa. I think he's

1585
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 4: choosing one of those other situations rather than Tampa. Marcus

1586
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 4: Sole thing is just weird in me out man. Him

1587
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 4: playing with Lebron James taking taking his old Bros. Team.

1588
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 4: That's that's that's weird to me. Right now.

1589
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what weird to me. It's something I learned.

1590
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: I always thought the city was called Tampa Bay. I

1591
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: always thought Tampa Bay, Florida.

1592
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 2: But it's not.

1593
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: It's Tampa.

1594
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 5: Remember mister wonderful Londolf was from Tampa, Florida. I remember

1595
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 5: from They All Die Wrestling Dice Paul, he was from Tampa, Florida.

1596
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1597
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: No, I always just thought it was Tampa Bay, Florida

1598
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: because of the Buccaneers. But it's just Tampa because the Lightning.

1599
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: I guess too, what did the Devil rise?

1600
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 5: Is that just the raise?

1601
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 2: Now?

1602
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,600
Speaker 5: Is it Tampa What is that Tampa Rays? Or is

1603
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 5: it Tampa Bay?

1604
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: They lost the devil?

1605
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 4: Right, there's a Christian raise? No, Yeah, they're just But

1606
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 4: isn't that a good sign? Though? They're going to play

1607
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 4: where the Lightning play. Who just won the Stanley Cup?

1608
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 4: All right, they're good on in stadiums where there's ice.

1609
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 4: They play where the Leafs play. Currently, the Tampa Rays

1610
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 4: whatever they're called, they just went to the World Series. Good,

1611

Speaker 4: that's Great's and this year this year, and who knows,

1612
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 4: maybe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to be good

1613
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 4: this year too. They're looking good.

1614
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: I think they're seven and three ors something that's what

1615
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: we've heard.

1616
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's a good sign.

1617
01:11:55,160 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, okay, let's Tampa Raptors. I want some bootleg

1620
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 4: about driving down there.

1621
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: It's not I mean, I actually thought it was further

1622
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: in my head. But it's a what did I have there?

1623
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: Six hours? Seven hour or something like that. I don't

1624
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: want to go to an arena right now during the

1625
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: but the Raps are right there. I mean, that's our

1626
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 1: home team. They're not that far. He could do that.

1628

1629
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: They don't say Tampa Bay right right right.

1630
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 2: There's a great Salvador Dali museum down there in Saint Petersburg, Florida,
