1
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Ooh yeah, ourse a trade, go on. It's the big one.

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: It's the big one. Task Melice an NBA trade late

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: on Monday night, as the prophecy foretold. I'm Trey Kirby.

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: This is no duns presented by FanDuel joining me here

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: in the yard tonight. It's task Melus. They said, we're

6
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: setting a new bar for an emergency podcast.

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: Oh come on, this is way higher than anything that

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: would be low. This is Julius Randall's part of a

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: three team deal. I'm excited about this one, Trey.

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at it. An all star power

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: forward was traded tonight. By Draft Day. It went down

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: like this, the Minnesota Timberwolves shipping out the number twenty

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: eight pick in this year's draft, along with Julius Randall

14
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: go into the net. The Nets are sending Nick Claxton too,

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: the Bulls. The Bulls are doing nothing and they're just

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: seeing Nick Claxton fall into their laps. And then the

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Timberwolves also get the number thirty three pick in this

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: year's draft, using their first round pick. The salary dump

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: Julius Randall to the Nets. I don't know where you

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: want to start here. Task are you starting with what

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: are the Timberwolves doing? Are you starting with the genius

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: move that the Bulls just made, or are you saying

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: tell me everything about Michael Porter Junior and Julius Randall United.

24
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start.

25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: I start with the Timberwolves because I'm most excited for

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: them getting rid of Julius Randall, meaning they're putting Nasried

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: into that starting lineup, getting rid of a lot of

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: money meaning they're going to be doing something else with

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: that money, and also just switching it up. They needed

30
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: to with their second round exit this postseason, after going

31
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: to the conference finals two seasons in a row, they

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: definitely need to change it up. And Julius Randall out

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: there as a ball stopper, wasn't able to move the ball,

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: wasn't shooting the three ball well, wasn't helping out on

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: the defensive end. I think this is dare I say

36
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: it an upgrade literally being able to start nos. Reed.

37
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: I know Julius Randall is a very talented guy and

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: they're gonna lack some depth here. But after being able

39
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: to move on from this money thirty three this coming

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: year thirty five the following year for Julius Randall. That

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: means you can do something with that money. And I

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: think it was clear watching the Minnesota Timberwolves they needed

43
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: to go in another direction. They needed to move somewhere else,

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: and they're putting a lot on nos Reed's shoulders. He

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: was able to carry that very well this postseason. On

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: those shoulders, he can shoot the three. That helps Rudy

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Gobert offensively instead of cramping all that space up with

48
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: Julius Randall, and nos Reed is a better defender than

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: Julius Randall. So I think you've made a good move here.

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: I know it sounds a little nuts, but they got

51
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: off the Moody the money to try and go and

52
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: get something else, whether it be beyond Io dissum or

53
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 2: it's just Io dissuming to give him some of that money.

54
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Is it crazy for me to say that this is

55
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: a more well put together team this postseason? If we're

56
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: saying this is now the twenty seven postseason Minnesota Timberwolves,

57
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: and you've got Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo alongside Jaden

58
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: McDaniels and Julius Randall and Rudy Gobert with Iod Assume

59
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: coming off the bench. I think that's just more of

60
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: a squad tray. Is that nuts?

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, that's nuts man. You're telling me literally, if

62
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: they don't do anything else that their team is better

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: just shipping Julius Randle out. No way they're better. I

64
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: agree nas Reed a better fit in the starting lineup.

65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you said about nas Red, but

66
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: they're losing talent here. So I get this an incomplete

67
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: because they have to do something with all of them

68
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: money they just cleared. Because as people are mentioning here

69
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: in the stream, team the Wolves are going to be

70
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars underneath the first apron. They now

71
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: have moves to make with this gigantic trade exception, this

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: was a cardib money move one hundred percent. They need

73
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: to do something with all of the space they cleared.

74
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's bad. You could still have nos Reed and

75
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Julius Randall. You can put Julius Randall on the bench.

76
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: Nas Reed was there for a couple of years. So

77
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: unless they do something, which I think they will, I

78
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: think this has to be a prelude to something coming

79
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: in the future. What are they doing is the question?

80
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: Are they going to try and get in on Jalen

81
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: Brown as a backup plan. Are they going to try

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: and trade for Kyrie Irving coming off of an injury.

83
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be, but it's

84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: going to be a different co star next to Anthony Edwards.

85
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Plus nos Reed in the starting lineup, then we can

86
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: talk about the Timberwolves looking better. But if they just

87
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: cheap out here and stay this far underneath the first apron,

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: which isn't going to happen. I don't think that's going

89
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: to happen. But if that's what they decided to do,

90
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: this would be a major downgrade because they just gave

91
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: way Randall for literally no reason. I agree the team

92
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: needed a change up, but they could have changed it

93
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: up anyways. So let's see what they do for me

94
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: an incomplete right now.

95
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: The first thing they're going to do is pay Io

96
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: de Sumu a decent amount of money to stick around. Yes,

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: restrict Free, He's definitely going to be sticking around. And

98
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: I just think this changes the locker room now with

99
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 2: nas Reed in the starting lineup and Julius Randall, who

100
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: honestly was again after last year's good postseason turned this

101
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: postseason was just a bit of a ball stopper and

102
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: not good defensively. Now again a lot on izried shoulders,

103
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: but also on Jade McDaniels. So of course they're going

104
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: to want to go get somebody to add.

105
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: This is all this is, This is I mean, this

106
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: is still, honestly for me, all on Tim Connolly's shoulders,

107
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: because look at who they're chasing right now. This team,

108
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: like you're saying, was a second round exit in the

109
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Western Conference. They couldn't hold a candle to the Thunder

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 1: and last year's conference finals Thunder lost to the Spurs.

111
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: Those are the teams they're chasing, and a team built

112
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: of Anthony Edwards, nas Reed and Jade McDaniels that's not

113
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: good enough to get it done. So they need to

114
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: get a legitimate second co star and that's why they

115
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: made the move because gearing up like this, even if

116
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: it's bringing back Iod assume, which they're going to, which

117
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: they should, that's just not good enough in the Western

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Conference now.

119
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: But I still think they're a better team in terms

120
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: of who they're running out there. That squad that we mentioned, well.

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Do you think they are? Do you think this doesn't

122
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: make a contender at all? Until they do the next move.

123
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: They're not better today. They might make more sense, but

124
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: they're not good enough to win. And right now, Anthony

125
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: Edwards is going into his prime. They need to be

126
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: building for this guy. So let's see what they do next.

127
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 1: And that's why right now, AST's say they're better now?

128
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Is now is? It just doesn't matter really if they're

129
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: better now.

130
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: Well, because they're not good enough. You have to please

131
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: your superstar. And you're pleasing your superstar by moving a

132
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: moving in a different direction from what they were yesterday.

133
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: They had to and that was a smart move to

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: move on from Julius Randall, and you're trying to please

135
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: a guy who has shaken hands early in the fourth

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: quarter with the San Antonio Spurs. You needed to switch

137
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: it up to be something different than they were the

138
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: last two years. So I think it is a smart move.

139
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: Of course they need to get deeper, but I think

140
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: just this squad with an undrafted dog in nosried and

141
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: what he's become starting rather than Julius Randall, who honestly

142
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: stopped the ball way too much. That was a big

143
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: issue with them. Are they better? Say? Are they a contender?

144
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: I think they are a better team, better squad in

145
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: there than what Julius Randall offered this past offseason, and

146
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: again these in his early thirties, and they had to

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: do something. You could definitely criticize Tim Connolly from moving

148
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: on from Karl Anthony Towns two years ago, if we

149
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: want to go back in that direction. For going to

150
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: get Julius Randall is all about money and this definitely

151
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: about money as well, but it's also just about the

152
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: locker room and the chemistry there. So they had to

153
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: move on and I think it's a smart move.

154
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a smart move if they do something,

155
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: and I'm interested to see what they're doing because they've

156
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: been chasing after this. Second legitimate co star next to

157
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards has been Kevin Durant, was a guy they

158
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: wanted in the past. They tried to get into the

159
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Jannis sweepstakes. It doesn't seem like it's happening, but clearly

160
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: they've got their eyes on somebody and that's kind of

161
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: exciting for US Emergency podcast wise, who's next treet the

162
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,479
Speaker 1: Nets are the Bulls?

163
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, what does that mean? The obviously nos Reed has

164
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: got a big role now to fill in, but Jade

165
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: McDaniels does as well. When Jane McDaniels was able to

166
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: eliminate the Denver Nuggets in that closeout game, I know you.

167
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: You gave him the connection to Kawhi Leonard in that game.

168
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: And he looked great in that one game.

169
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I think are you more likely to say

170
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: Nas Reid and take a bigger step for this team

171
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: or Jada McDaniels can take a bigger step for this team.

172
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: It has to be McDaniels, honestly, I meaning Nosbrey needs

173
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: to be a better defensive player. He needs to rebound

174
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: next to go Bear. But they need McDaniels to take

175
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: a step forward as a scorer, and they need Anthony

176
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Edwards to take a step forward as a playmaker because

177
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: that's something they're going to really miss out on with

178
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Julius Randall, he was maybe their best creator for others

179
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup. So I don't know. Like like

180
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think that the core that is

181
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: left behind is good enough to compete as is in

182
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: the Western Conference. Throw in Jalen Brown if they can

183
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: get in on that. Maybe, so throwing Kyrie Irving maybe

184
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: then we're talking. I don't know. But as is that's

185
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: like maybe a home court advantage team.

186
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously the Thunder and the Spurs are definitely they're

187
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: the crop of the crop.

188
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, but I mean like exactly like I'm like

189
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: the the Nuggets have a solid starting lineup.

190
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. You know the scary The scary thing is

191
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: they even with Vincenzo coming back, they still need another

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: creator because the Vincenzo isn't that guy. Anthony Edwards still

193
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: needs somebody to be that second star. And it looked

194
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: that way for a second with Jaden McDaniels. And as

195
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: much as Anthony Edwards pushes for him to be that

196
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: second guy, it hasn't happened consistently. So it's on both

197
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: McDaniels and Read. But they do need more depths. There's

198
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: no doubt about that.

199
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: They need more star power. And that's that's the thing

200
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: to me. Because clock is ticking. The best thing that

201
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: could happen to the Timberwolves is they get moved to

202
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference very soon once expansion comes on.

203
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: But what do you think about smart for Condoley not

204
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: to do this exact same thing when your superstar is

205
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: trying to be your superstar and he would just be

206
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: annoyed by it.

207
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: So what's next in your order of the things you

208
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: want to tackle? Is it more like the Bulls or

209
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: the nuts here?

210
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: Well, the Bulls is more fun to talk about.

211
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got Nick Claxton. I got Nick Claxton for

212
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: apparently the other Mogay is going to be going to

213
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: somebody in the string team of saying, to the timber Wolves,

214
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: not even the Atlanta Hawks, Moga the former Toronto raptor

215
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: Mogay the other one. You gotta tld something to get

216
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: in on this.

217
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a couple years of Nick Claxton money here.

218
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm just sending contracts, so it's cheap going to a

219
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: team that is been cheap and that they don't have

220
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: a lot of money assigned to anybody. The Bulls aren't

221
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: paying a lot, so now they've got Nick Claxton to

222
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: come in there and take up some of that money.

223
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: So they're taking a chance. I know you've been down

224
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: on Nick claxton tray and hey, he hasn't paid off,

225
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: he hasn't looked great, he hasn't been solid. But Thiago

226
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Slider is going to say, hey, you know what I

227
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: did when I was a member of the San Antonio Spurs,

228
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: and they called me at the top of the key.

229
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: I was audishing. I was passing it, Nick, Can you

230
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: do that?

231
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: Nah?

232
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: Probably not, but we're gonna try. They're going to try

233
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: it for a couple of years. I mean, they don't

234
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: give up a lot, and they get him to play

235
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 2: around with for a couple of years and see if

236
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: Diego Splitter can motivate this guy who was super young.

237
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: He's young, he's twenty seven years old.

238
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, super young, I guess is a strong

239
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: way to put it. They got to pay somebody, they

240
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: got to play somebody. Do I hate it? No? But

241
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: will he live up to anything? Now? Will he be

242
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: better than Patrick Williams? Of course he's going to be

243
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: your starting center.

244
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well the Bulls literally didn't have a center. So

245
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: this is good getting him for nothing twenty three and

246
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: twenty one million when you're paying basically giddy Patrick Williams

247
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: and rookies like you can afford this on Nick Claxton,

248
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: who I'm with you? He has not been good, very

249
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: good for the Nets basically since the Durant Irving James

250
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: Harden trio broke up. That was the last time we

251
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: heard from Nick Claxon. He hasn't been a great center since,

252
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: but the Balls were playing Nick Richards, Gershan Yabusele, Zach

253
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Collins like some of the worst centers that are sticking

254
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: around in the NBA. So they get this guy at

255
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, set a screen roll to the hoop.

256
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: Gudea's a good setup man. He'll get you some easy

257
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: dunks and be at least a defensive interior presence for

258
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: a team that had literally nothing inside at the end

259
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: of last year. They gave up nothing to get in

260
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: on this very cool good job by the Bulls.

261
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they still have thirty million dollars in salary

262
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: cap room, so they can go sign another player if

263
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: somehow they're attracted this to the Chicago scene. But it

264
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: just feels like it's going to be. What you just

265
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: said was giddy and Patrick Williams and sat Patrick Williams.

266
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: I mean that's not that's not the exciting.

267
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: He's still gonna be there. He's still gonna be there.

268
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: Don't you worry. No, it's gonna be. The exciting parts

269
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: are giddy, Boozellis and draft pick. Who is that draft

270
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: pick gonna be? Nick Kloxkin can run with those guys.

271
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: Bulls might have like the skinniest team in the league

272
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: at this rate. Bozellis has no fat on his body,

273
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: Nick klaxon his skin and bones. Tayler Wilson, He's got

274
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of girth to him, but not a

275
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: huge guy and giddy. You know, he's solidly built.

276
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: I suppose, Yeah, this is gonna be a season of

277
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: hope for the Chicago Bulls fans, and I mean they're

278
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: gonna sell. They're gonna sell that he's gonna be sold

279
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: as that you got a number four, you have Mantes,

280
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:54,239
Speaker 2: Buzzelli's and you know beyond that, I mean, it's it's

281
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: a couple. It's a couple of guys to say, hey,

282
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: go do this, and that's all it's gonna be. I

283
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: say that there's thirty thousand, thirty million dollars in cap room,

284
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: but I don't think they're going to make a big

285
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: splash at all, and the names aren't incredibly big anyway.

286
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: I highly doubt they're overpaying for somebody to come along

287
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: and save the day. That's the team, and the.

288
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Team you're describing to me sounds like maybe the eighth

289
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: to tenth worst team in the NBA, and I think

290
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: that's completely the plan because that's where you get the

291
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: most lottery balls.

292
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: Now yep, draft time, yep.

293
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: So a good job by the Bulls. They have a

294
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: competent guy who plays center. Now that's exciting, and it

295
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: feels like they're making all good moves right now. I'm

296
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: getting a little bit too excited about Bryce and Graham.

297
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: He hasn't messed anything up yet, and I don't think

298
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: it's going to happen starting tomorrow either. How about the

299
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: Nets adding Julius Randall to the mix with Michael Porter Junior.

300
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: You like it. It's so funny with them. He's automatically

301
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: their one A, one B player. They also have to

302
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: pay guys, like the Bulls. They're way below the salary

303
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: cap floor even so why not take on some talent.

304
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: This is different for the Brooklyn Nets because they just

305
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: wanted to have first round pick after first round pick

306
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: after first round pick. They did that, it didn't work out,

307
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: so they're bringing in a guy to help out. Do

308
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: I like it? You know, are they going to be

309
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: better than the then the struggle Bulls? Probably? I mean,

310
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: is they a lock? I don't know.

311
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Oh interesting. I mean, okay, the Bulls got the thirty

312
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: one wins last year, but they were trying in the

313
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: first half of the season. Nets got the twenty wins.

314
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be pretty close. I think you're gonna it's

315
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty close. I think you would have to

316
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: favor the Nets. I think they'll have a higher over under.

317
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Nets. Their first round pick is swapped

318
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: with Houston for next year, so they don't have a

319
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: lot of inside and to be the worst team in

320
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: the league. There's also less incentive to be the worst

321
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: team in the league now, and the Nets, even when

322
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: they were tanking their hardest, couldn't get to worst team

323
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: in the league status thanks to Jordi Fernandez. He was

324
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: too good of a coach. They had to trade every

325
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: good player away. But now they got a couple of

326
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: guys who can at least win them twenty five regular

327
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: season games, and that's good enough, and hopefully you can

328
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: start getting close enough to the Rockets so that it's

329
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: not super embarrassing when you have to swap picks with

330
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: them next year. But at least they're getting some other

331
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: picks in trades as well. And they got the number

332
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight pick. Maybe they'll be able to find somebody

333
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: interesting late in the draft.

334
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: Worrow, Yeah, we're talking. Yeah, I think I would favor

335
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: the Nets over the Bulls after you know, last year,

336
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 2: the Bulls had Io for so long and Voods for

337
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: so long and Kobe White for so long before getting

338
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: rid of them, So this is different. I think I

339
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: would take a Michael Porter Julie Randall duo over what

340
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: the Bulls have right now.

341
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: You think kids will be going crazy for that when

342
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: they're playing NBA Jam twenty twenty six. To play with

343
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior and Julia Randall together. One guy has

344
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: a ten on threes, the other guy has a ten

345
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: on pushing actually might work.

346
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 2: I think Nets fans should be pretty upset that they

347
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: didn't trade Michael Porter Junior when his trade value was

348
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: at its highest four months ago. At the trade deadline,

349
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: they're you know, his salary is interesting because it's just

350
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 2: one more year of forty million dollars and somebody's going

351
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: to be asking for him because he's a super talented dude.

352
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: I wonder if they move on at some point just

353
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: to get something, but they definitely could have got more

354
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: four months ago.

355
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, or maybe they couldn't, because I'm sure they

356
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: tried and if the trade would have been there, if

357
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: it would have been to their life, they probably would

358
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: have done it. But uh, like what's cooking in Brooklyn?

359
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: You know, like literally what are they trying to build

360
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: right now? They picked five first rounders last year. None

361
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: of them are like standout guys. Now they got Julius Randall,

362
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: Now they got Michael Porter junior. It's just an odd brew,

363
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: very odd, and I think this is pretty interesting to

364
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: think from David here in the stream team, are the

365
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: Nets about to pick Mara at six? Now a die Mara,

366
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: the giant man from Michigan. Six seems like high for

367
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: him in a draft context. But maybe they would trade down.

368
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: They were a team that was rumored to be hoping

369
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: like the Kings would want to trade up with them

370
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: or something like that. Maybe another team is interested in

371
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: one of these guards and they think they can get

372
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: Mara a little lower down because he does make sense

373
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: to me for them as a big center prospect. Interesting.

374
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, we were all down the Nets. I mean

375
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: you're five seconds ago just talking Porter and Julius random.

376
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: But then yes, you threw in that comment about a

377
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: die Mara. Yeah, it's starting to get a little more exciting.

378
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: But they you know, it would help if they.

379
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: Had a capable No, it's crazy, man, they need I can't.

380
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: I'm not even that crazy. They need somebody who can create.

381
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 2: And after you know the Agor Joeman experiment with Sarah

382
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: and all the guards, you I thought maybe one of

383
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: these guys would would pop.

384
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: And they're still young. Maybe you know, maybe it's super early.

385
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: It's super early. But I'm more excited about the prospect

386
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: of a Dyemorrow than frankly anybody on that roster. Who

387
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: can you really be super excited about on that roster

388
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: at this point, it's not a lot for me.

389
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: They're still building, man, They're still on their way back.

390
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: What did you think about Julius Randall being sent back

391
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: to New York during the summer when the Knicks won

392
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: the championship. People are saying it was gonna be a

393
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: sad moment for him.

394
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, it is kind of dirty for him to

395
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: go back there.

396
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: But man, they'll celebrate. They'll love him fan Knicks fans

397
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: will love this guy. I know it ended kind of

398
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: poorly with New York, but you saw the outpouring of

399
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: support for literally every Nick who ever played for the franchise,

400
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: from Mom Donnie on down through the entire franchise. That's

401
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: celebrating everybody. Julius Randall will be included. So welcome to

402
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: the party, big guy who won this three team.

403
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can shoot, and Julius Randall the biggest thing

404
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: that he'll be excited about. He'll get his love and

405
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: then he'll be able to shoot twenty plus times a game.

406
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: So that is nice. Yeah, get some shots us for

407
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: But we're gonna give some winners and losers here, And

408
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: by winners, I mean we're just gonna give a winner.

409
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: Who do you think won the deal? Tasks the Nets

410
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: who got Julius Randall and the twenty eighth pick in

411
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: this year's draft, the Bulls who got Nick Claxton, or

412
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves who got a lot of salary cap

413
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: relief and the number thirty three pick in the second round.

414
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Timberwolves won this trade. They have please their

415
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: number one guy and Anthony Edwards. I think he will

416
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: be much happier with that starting lineup with his dogs

417
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: with him. They're going in another direction and they're not

418
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: just running the same thing back that didn't work last

419
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 2: year in the postseason, and they tried it a couple

420
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 2: times before that, I mean one time really before that.

421
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: But it's time to change something. So I think they

422
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: are the winner's trade. Where's the other one's just you know,

423
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: they make me feel pretty meh. There's nothing that's really

424
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: a sell on me in either way. So I think

425
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves did the right thing as far as their

426
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: front office goes. That was management.

427
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: What do you think that was management? Well, look, you

428
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: make a good case for the Timberwolves, and I can't

429
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: say they're a loser until we see what they do

430
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: with the space they're given. But if they do something,

431
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: I think they can come out of this deal as

432
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: a winner. Because I'm with you, the fit with Randall

433
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: was never perfect. He can be upgraded, and if they're

434
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: able to upgrade, they definitely get the winner. But obviously

435
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: the Bulls are a winner here getting Nick Claxton for free.

436
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: Do you know he once finished ninth in Defensive Player

437
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: of the Year voting task ninth Nick Claxton one time

438
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: he finished ninth, And now he's the starting center for

439
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: the Bulls and they got him for virtually free, so

440
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: I'll give it them a winner. For some reason, apparently

441
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: the vote isn't going that way. The Bulls are last

442
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: in our poll here, and the people are with you

443
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: saying the Wolves are winners at forty plus percent. I

444
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: can't believe that. Do they know about Nick Claxton finishing ninth?

445
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: That must have been the year I loved him? Was

446
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: that the year he led the league in field goal

447
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: percentage at seventy point?

448
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you're right. He did lead the league in

449
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: field goal percentage and finished ninth in Defensive Player of

450
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: the Year voting in the same season. Free for the

451
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: Bulls many years later, much higher.

452
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: Seven seasons, yet much higher paid, but again a descending contract.

453
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: Woo Calton, thanks for coming by the stream, Thanks for

454
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: saying hi.

455
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: See.

456
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm liking to see a lot more number two votes

457
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: coming in here. If we stay on longer tasks, I

458
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: think we can get the Bulls to winners, because we're

459
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: just going to roll back. Defensive highlights from Nick Claxton's

460
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: ninth place finish in Defensive Player of the Year voting.

461
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: Remember it was twenty twenty three. He was switching on

462
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: the perimeter. Oh I'm gonna drive by him. No you're not.

463
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,399

469
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,359

493
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but we kind of back away from the mic.

494
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: We don't just yeah, we're pulling on stream for sure.

495
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: You want to go savage mode tomorrow?

496
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,159

Speaker 1: Yeah? Gross eating tomorrow or the draft in suits and yeah,

498
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: we are still waiting for the honest Trade bill. Simmons

499
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: said it was gonna happen tonight, come on man or

500
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. He said, what do you think call it?

501
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: Right now? Task at eleven twenty eight pm Eastern time?

502
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: Will we be heading into the classic factory tomorrow? When

503
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: we wake up tomorrow, will we be going into the

504
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: classic factory?

505
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: We will not know the anesthetical boat trade, so no,

506
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: we won't be going in I think here we go.

507
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: You know, a tiny bit of a conspiracy theory. Everything

508
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: is getting pushed, everything is getting pushed back as far

509
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: as the Annis trade goes two minutes before the draft,

510
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: so it can be a hot hot topic during the

511
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: draft and people will tune in even more so. People

512
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: are tuning in for the draft. But then you get

513
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: the Anis juice. Yeah, why not? Why not do it? Tomorrow?

514
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Biggest draft ever. What it sounds like to me, it's

515
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: going to about a long night.

516
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stalk off on energy.

517
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: Stock up on energy because it's going to be a

518
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: long night tomorrow. We're going to be eating like crazy.

519
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: Jannis is getting traded during the pre drafts show, the

520
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: Bulls are drafting whoever the next person is that's gonna

521
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: lead them to the championship number seven. It's exciting night

522
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: for everybody. Join us tomorrow. What's literally? What time is

523
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: the draft? Is a draft at eight o'clock? That's too late.

524
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: These boys are young. They're all about sleep. Now, I've

525
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: seen it in some newsletters. These young kids are about

526
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: getting good sleep. And you're telling me these twenty and

527
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: twenty one year olds are going to be out until

528
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: eleven pm on a Tuesday. That's ridiculous night. I want

529
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: good one. The only guy I want drafted is the

530
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: kid who says I'm skipping the draft because I gotta

531
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: get to sleep.

532
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's only the late picks that have to stay,

533
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: Like the good picks are they're gone by like nine

534
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: thirty or something.

535
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a great point, good incentive to be good.

536
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you get to go to your bed to

537
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 2: go back to sleep. You're a local Brooklyn hotel. They

538
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: probably sleep in a nice hotel.

539
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: I bet they sleep in a beautiful hotel with a

540
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: big bed.

541
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: It was like circular beds, like four players on them.

542
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: I'd be weird, be super weird. That'd be super weird. Okay,

543
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: so for sure, draft party tomorrow. Tasks to say no

544
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: trade tomorrow, but maybe save it for the watch party.

545
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: Otherwise we're on emergency podcasts watch and Clipper Brows. You

546
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: heard it here first, have a great time, turn up,

547
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: Love you guys awesome.

548
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. And remember you guys had the Wolves,

549
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: the Nets, and the Bulls at about thirty three percent

550
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: as winners of the trade for a while. But then

551
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: I started talking and I think I think I influenced

552
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: some people out there, and that that made my night.

553
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: So even if Jannis gets traded for a gyro and

554
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: a postizio and some zizeki on the side, I'm going

555
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: to bed happy tonight. I don't know why I'm naming

556
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: Greek foods. I had to rank all five Greek foods.

557
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: Jackson got me, and they got me with the hot

558
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: dog at the end.

559
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: They got hot dogs bad. You got hot dogs so hard.

560
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: I've never seen somebody get dogged like that, not for

561
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: a long time. Embrace the night, people,
