1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: No Rest for the Sickos. Welcome back to an emergency

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: edition of the No Dunks Podcast, presented by Fan Duel.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Monday night, June twenty ninth, twenty twenty six, just after

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: five thirty pm Eastern. I'm Jay Skeats here in the

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: yard and back from the Midwest. It's my top shot

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: hop boy. Trey Kirby, Hey, hey, yo, what's up my man?

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: How was Chicago?

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: That was a great time, you know, out in nature,

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: doing hikes, seeing family, having laughs and scroll in Twitter

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: to see what kind of trades and free agency signings

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: are going down. And luckily I got to catch up

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: with my friends Jay Skeets and Tassmellus on the plane

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: today and they're telling me this John Moran. Wow, a

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: lot of rumors around this guy, a lot of buckets,

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: a slop to check out, uh and what to my

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: wondering eyes should appear just an hour after getting back

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: to my house. But a delicious trade to talk about.

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: That's right. We got JD in the background. He's pulling

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: all the levers and such. But we have the Memphis

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: Grizzlies trading two time NBA All Star Jamorant to the

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers. Maybe that's the shocking part here. The team

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: he's headed to. We knew he was getting dealt. But

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: he goes to Portland for Jeremy Grant and Chris Murray

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Schams of ESPN the first one to report this deal.

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: So there, it is pretty simple, you know, from what

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: we know, no draft picks either going to Memphis for

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Ja Morant or like we were hearing over the last

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: week or so, no picks having to be attached to

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Ja Morant for the Grizzlies to get off of Trey.

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: Your thoughts here, Yeah, I guess this is a three

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: D Dennis Scott kind of trade players only baby. Yeah,

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: definitely came out of nowhere. Look, Jah was going to

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: be traded. We knew that. I heard you guys talking

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: about it this morning. Seemed quite likely that it would

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: happen as soon as we got to free agency. So

36
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: not a surprise that Jah was traded from the Grizzlies.

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: They've been trying to get him moved at least since

38
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: this past trade deadline. The surprise is that it is

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: to the Blazers, And I think the surprise is that

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: I don't know about U Skeets but I was waiting

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: for the one to two from Cham's. I was waiting

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: for him to say anything else was included in this,

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: But no, it's just the bag of beans for Jamrant,

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: an expensive contract in Jeremy Grant, Chris Murray, one of

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: the top two Murray's in the NBA. Sure, probably not

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: if you're going to full Murray, but in his family

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: he's top two. Yeah. Uh, and that's it. That's literally it.

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 2: Coming back to the Grizzlies for Jamarrant, the guy who

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: led their resurgence what feels like two decades ago, but

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: was really just a couple of years ago.

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, from what we know, the Grizzlies aggressively

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: tried trading this guy at the last deadline, right and

53
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: found very minimal interest. And this was in a very

54
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: down year for him. You know, he had basically his

55
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: worst year, right with nineteen and a half points per game.

56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: He shot forty one percent from the floor, twenty three

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: and a half percent from deep. He only played twenty games.

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: He had another suspension getting into it with the head coach,

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: the new head coach at that in Memphis. Look, it

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: was bad. They tried trading them, didn't get any sort

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: of package that excited them. So they wait, they wait,

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: they wait, and they just wanted out of the drummeran business.

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: There is no doubt about this because this is quite frankly,

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: this is nothing, you know, no offense to Jeremy Grant.

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: He's fine, He's totally fine. But Joam Morant went healthy

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: and at the level he played at was a superstar.

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: So this feels like the ultimate by low here by

68
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: the Portland Trailblazers. But on this morning show we were

69
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: like looking around doing a canvas of the league. It's like,

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: who does need a point guard? Like, who is actually

71
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: going to want to even trade for Jummarant because they

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: have a slot for a potential point guard. I don't

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: think it was the Blazers. Last I checked, they still

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: have like three point guards Trey if you count Drew Holiday,

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, oh yeah, he's coming back, and then Scoot

76
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Henderson is sort of a pod too. So now four

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: point guards? Is this just leading to another big move

78
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: that everybody's wondering with possibly Portland, I don't know, still

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: in the Jalen Brown game, because you could package one

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: of those guards, let's say Drew Holiday and Sharp or

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: something like that. For Jim Brow. What do you think

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: about that?

83
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Well, I think they have four point guards right now,

84
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: and I think by the time we get to July second,

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: there will not be four point guards for the Portland

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: Trailblazers because they need to do something around Ja Morant.

87
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: They can't just have jaw like you're saying, Dame coming back,

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Drew Holiday Scoot. There's just not enough minutes there. They

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: need shooting around jaw Obdia and Donovan Klingen. So they're

90
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: gonna have to figure out a way to ship out

91
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: one of those guys, and maybe it ends up being

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: for Jalen Brown. Because no picks involved in this deal

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: means the Blazers are still very alive for any other deal.

94
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: And that's why I really like this for Portland. First

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: of all, like you're saying, what a great BILO candidate

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: John Morant is, he's gonna be twenty seven at the

97
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: start of the season. And the good thing for the

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: Blazers good thing, I guess is that they already were

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: on a bad contract in Jeremy Grant. He's paid through

100
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 2: the exact same season as Jah Morant is. Now the

101
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: Blazers are kicking in another eight million dollars basically, and

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: they're getting Jamarant. I would rather be overpaying Jahn Morant

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: than overpaying Jeremy Grant, even if their names do sound

104
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: a lot alike when I'm saying them out loud, Ja Moran,

105
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: Jeremy Grant. What a confusing trade. But it's kind of

106
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: like being pot committed. If I'm in for a penny,

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: I'm in for a pound. So it's another eight million dollars.

108
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: Maybe you get something back from John Morant, because I

109
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: know you are. I think it's favorable that if he

110
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: goes to another place he locks in, he's got a

111
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder, we get sort of back to

112
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: the old Jah Morant. I think that's quite reasonable. But

113
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: I think even if he's not as good as he

114
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: ever was, or as good as we were hoping he

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: was ever going to be, he can still do a

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: lot more than Jeremy Grant did for the Trail Blazers.

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: That's assuming job plays. And that's why the this is

118
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 2: still a risk, This is still a gamble for the Blazers.

119
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: They could be paying forty five million dollars to a

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: guy who plays in eight games for in a season

121
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: for a variety of reasons. But I think this is

122
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: a better way to use that salary slot, the potentially

123
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: overpaid guy salary slot. I like it being on Jahn Morant.

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: And once they bring him in at his age, at

125
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: his salary level, everybody else kind of has to be

126
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: on the table, I think.

127
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. So look, I'm with you on all

128
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: what you just said there. It is still a risk.

129
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: This guy's played seventy nine games across three seasons due

130
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: to off court issues and injuries. This stat that I'm

131
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: about to say still sounds fake to me. We've shared

132
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: it before, and I'm sure you've seen it before. Jah

133
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: Morant hasn't played more than six consecutive games since the

134
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty three season. Six consecutive games. That

135
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: sounds fake. That sounds like a screwed up AI overview.

136
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: That's just wrong.

137
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: That's less than a insanity run.

138
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. So he's got two years, eighty seven

139
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: million remaining on his contract, so it's a lot of money.

140
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: But I like, I thought you nailed it there. It's

141
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: would I rather want to give that to Jeremy Grant

142
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: or take a stab on Jahn Morant still at twenty

143
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: seven when we start next year, trying to rehabilitate, rehabilitate

144
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: his career so to speak, and obviously get back to

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: what made him great. Now maybe he can't get there,

146
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: maybe because of injuries. It's zapdam of that explosiveness, that bounce.

147
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 1: He unfortunately never added a three point shot. He hasn't

148
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: been an impactful defender, so it's like he's a dynamic playmaker,

149
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: but he needs the athletic attributes to obviously sort of

150
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: dominate a game still, So you're hoping on that, but

151
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: I just don't think Portland's done here either. It'd be

152
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: insane to me because we listed four point guards and

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: then you said Denny Avdia and I'm like, oh, yeah,

154
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: he's sort of a point guard. Like the way they play,

155
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: it's like you take the ball, you operate, you drive downhill.

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: So it's like five guys here. I haven't even got

157
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: to sharp. Obviously a score or two needs a ball.

158
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of like sort of point guard

159
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: guard wings. They have to have to be moving off one,

160
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: if not two of these guys. If Jaw is obviously

161
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: in the mix.

162
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, exactly right. I think that Scoot is coming

163
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: up for his first contract extension after being a rookie,

164
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: had a good moment in the playoffs, but hasn't necessarily

165
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: established himself, hasn't continued to stay healthy this far into

166
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: his very very young career. But that I think is

167
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: an issue. They probably don't want to pay him, but

168
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: maybe another team has a little bit more shine towards him.

169
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. Teams could definitely be in the mix

170
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: for Drew Holliday. There are pieces that the Blazers now

171
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: getting their hoped for point guard of the future in Jamrant.

172
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: That's got to be what this is is that they

173
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: hope he's the next guy for them sticks around for

174
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: a little bit on this by Low, everybody else has

175
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: to be available because the team right now just doesn't

176
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: make sense. It's all guards who handle the ball. Like

177
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: you know, Dame is probably the best off ball thread

178
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: of all the guys that we've mentioned who are handling

179
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: the ball. But like Scoot's got to be available, Drew Sharp,

180
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: I would imagine is available as well. The only things

181
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that are locked down is Avdia Camara and clinging,

182
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: And then you got to figure out some depth, You

183
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: got to figure out some shooting and the goal I

184
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: suppose should be probably top six in the West for

185
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 2: the Blazers. I think that's going to be a hard

186
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: spot to get to with teams beefing up and you know,

187
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: the talent level. We'll see where the Blazers ultimately end up,

188
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: but that's got to be where they're hoping for. You know,

189
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: they got in via the play in this year. Let's

190
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: skip it next year.

191
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. In doing so, they change coaches, are obviously changing

192
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: their personnel. They're maybe not done so a lot of

193
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: turnover here, but still obviously a talented roster. Now, I

194
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: think some people are gonna be like, what the hell

195
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: is they doing here? Like people have given up on

196
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: John ran right, Yes, and they might be right. They

197
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: might be proven right. I don't think so, But that's

198
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: where they're going. What do you do in Portland here,

199
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: especially if like nothing else materializes here? But is it

200
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: just like you buy low on a guy like this

201
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: and maybe you're the one that helps him get his

202
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: value up and then suddenly you're flipping Jahn Morant for

203
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: draft capital another young prospect, like like down the line,

204
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: we've seen that happen before too, So that's why I like.

205
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: I like the reasoning there. If if all the off

206
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: court issues are sort of in the past and he's

207
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: matured there, then you got to deal with the injury part, sure,

208
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: like you got to do with every player. But I

209
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: think that's a part of the equation too. Here, just

210
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: buy super low, build them back up a little bit.

211
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: And you know, you said point guard of the future,

212
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: but who knows, you know, a year ago later. Yeah, exactly, go.

213
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Ahead, and the cost is so low, I mean giving

214
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: out a contract that you don't want on your books anyways. Uh,

215
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: and Jeremy Grant no picks. It may go on to

216
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: cost you Scoot Henderson, but I think that's kind of

217
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: like backwards thinking. You know, he was your hoped for franchise, Cornerstone.

218
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: It doesn't look to be turning out that way. So

219
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: that cost, I think would even be pretty low for

220
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: the Blazers. And you can't deny this has got to

221
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: be a little bit of new owner syndrome for sure.

222
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: Tom Dundan saying, hey, there's a cheap Jamorant over there,

223
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: go do it.

224
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, you said the magic word cheap. That's

225
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: exactly right. What his ears perked up. How much? What

226
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: can we get them for?

227
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think it's a I think this is

228
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: a good by low for the Blazers and it could

229
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: work out for them if Ja Morant has his head

230
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: screwed on the right way, and if it's not like

231
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: the stream team saying he's putting the jaw in jail Blazers.

232
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: It is a hilarious place for him to go to

233
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: considering his past off court issues.

234
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that's very true. If you're just joining us,

235
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it here live on YouTube. JD. Maybe I'll get

236
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: you to throw the graphic back up.

237
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

238
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: We had a trade on the eve of free agency

239
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: and it's John Morant going to the Portland Trailblazers. Are

240
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: they the jail Blazers once again? Hopefully not? Hopefully not,

241
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: But he's going there for simple two for one, it's

242
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: jaw for Jeremy Grant and Chris Murray. And some people

243
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: are like, who is Chris Murray? I get it, you casuals,

244
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, not a key key player

245
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: there in Portland. So they're not giving up a lot.

246
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: And it was really that contract that Jeremy Grant made

247
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: around what thirty four to thirty five million. Now, yeah,

248
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: John Muran has paid more, but is a much much

249
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: better player, even even at his lowest of lows here,

250
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: which is which he's at at his career right now.

251
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: Like this never been worse for John Moran. Yeah, absolutely,

252
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: he definitely has something to prove for a variety of reasons.

253
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: He needs to stay healthy, I think his first and foremost,

254
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: and then show what he can do, because he had

255
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 2: some decent stretches last year. I know it wasn't ever

256
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: six games in a row, not that good, but he

257
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: had some decent, you know, couple of weeks here and

258
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: there with the games spread out to give his leg

259
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: a bit of a rest. And maybe that's something that

260
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: works out good for Dame Lillard too. Like, this guy's

261
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: gonna be thirty six years old coming off in Achilles injury.

262
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: He's probably not going to be giving you forty eight

263
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: minutes a night. So yeah, at least now you can

264
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 2: split the difference between him and Jah, figure out if

265
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: they can work together for a short term and try

266
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: and build a team that makes a little bit of

267
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: sense if you're the Grizzlies. Like it sucks. Jahmorant turned

268
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: into literally nothing. But at least your front office had

269
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: the foresight to see that this era had come to

270
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: an end because they have five extra firsts between the

271
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: Baine trade and the Jaron Jackson Junior trade. They got

272
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: out ahead on both of those deals, which was pretty smart,

273
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: knowing that when it came down to it, it was

274
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: going to be tough to trade Jamorant for any sort

275
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: of value. They got no value, but they got the

276
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: value from the other things. And now Cam Boozer's got

277
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: a lot of room to spread his wings in his

278
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: rookie year.

279
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. As Sean's wrote in his sort of article about

280
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: this breaking news, the Grizzlies were once considered one of

281
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: the league's most talented young corse Ually, they didn't have

282
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: a lot of playoff success and I think they only

283
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: won one series and their four playoff appearances with the trio.

284
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: But now all three of those guys in John Morant,

285
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Jared Jackson Junior, and Desmond Bane all gone. Like what

286
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: a reset. If I had told you though a couple

287
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: of years ago, Hey man, Memphis Grizzlies are gonna trade

288
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: all three of those guys, and you you're not gonna

289
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: believe this. But the one guy that's gonna get no

290
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: first round draft capital back is John Morant. You would

291
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: have laughed at me. You would have laughed me out

292
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: of the building. You're like, yeah, right, yeah right. I

293
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: think it's more likely at Desmond Bay or Jared Jackson

294
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Junior won't get anything back. Instead, it's a jaw which

295
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: is crazy. But all three of them gone, and you're right,

296
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: this is just a complete reset. And it's not like

297
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant's a pro. That's fine, Like he's gonna it's

298
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: not gonna disrupt anything. Whether he's even how long he's there,

299
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: who knows. But this is Cam Boozer time, and obviously

300
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: Cedric Coward and some younger pieces and stuff like they're

301
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: gonna be I would expect to be one of the

302
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: worst teams in the league. I think.

303
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: I think so. I mean they want won twenty five

304
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: games last sear and yeah, got the third overall pick,

305
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: so like they bottomed out at an absolute perfect time

306
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: before tanking rules come into action. They would have been

307
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: looking even better if they could get the Jazz pick,

308
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: which is why they voted against the new lottery odds.

309
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: But like they went from oh, this could be the

310
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: up and coming team in the Western Conference to drafting

311
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: in the lottery pretty quickly. John Morant was the number

312
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: two pick in twenty nineteen.

313
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

314
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a pretty quick round trip.

315
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: Yep, it's very quick. Man, Things move quick.

316
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: But also I think if you're a Grizzlies fan, you

317
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: have more optimism at the start of the twenty six

318
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: to twenty seven season than you did at the start

319
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: of last season.

320
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: I think it would have been a nightmare. And they

321
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: obviously thought the same thing here in trading John Morant

322
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: here when they did, like just having that like cloud

323
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: over the team, it's just like it's bad vibes for everyone,

324
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: especially new talent. New you know, a young prospect like

325
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Camboos are coming in, no matter how professional he probably

326
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: will be immediately, like guy feels like he's already sort

327
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: of been in the league godly, probably because of his dad.

328
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: It's like, you just don't want that around organization. You

329
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: want the fresh start, and even if that means winning

330
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: twenty games, so be it. Like let them block, let

331
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: them find their own footing, let there be a freshness

332
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: to this locker room, to the organization and all that.

333
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, especially when Jaws button heads with the new

334
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: coach that you had brought in by the way, you know,

335
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: so that that makes sense is maybe as depressing as

336
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: a return for John morant Is. But at least we

337
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: sort of we knew this for weeks, if not months, Like, Okay,

338
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be it's not gonna be very good.

339
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: When Brian Windors is gonna say he's flagrantly available and

340
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: there's talk about they might have to add picks, it's like, okay,

341
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: at least we have our expectations set on what's coming

342
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: back for him.

343
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, flagrantly available is not a term I've ever heard,

344
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: no for somebody out there, but uh yeah, I'm with you.

345
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: A bad return on the core, a bad return financially,

346
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: but an investment in good vibes going forth in a

347
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: new era for the Grizzlies, which I think is the

348
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: big thing. So a new leaf has been turned. Do

349
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: you think this is a good or bad news? Skeets

350
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: for my PSA nine Ja morant rookie.

351
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: Card was wondering what you were searching for.

352
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, literally the only card I've bought at

353
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: a card shop as a grown man, and I think

354
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: as soon as I bought it. John Morant was suspended,

355
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: maybe like one second after.

356
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: The card Ladder price just plumb immediately.

357
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this card, actually, I believe it or not,

358
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: flagrantly available. This PSA niner.

359
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: I'll trade you. I'll trade you with Tim Robinson, Allen

360
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: and Ginter. All right, good, Yeah, I want to get

361
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: this up. I want to get this inscribed somehow by

362
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Tim Robinson. I was trying to think if he did

363
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: like a personal inscription, what quote would you want from

364
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: I think you should leave on this card. We can

365
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: make some content. Don't know, I mean sloppy mudpies. I mean,

366
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. We got a lot of

367
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: options here, uh anything anything else here? John Moran going

368
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: to the Blazer, Well, okay, I want to get you

369
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: on record. Do you think it sounds like you think

370
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: there's another move coming from Portland? Do you think it's

371
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: possibly Jayleen Brown?

372
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean they make sense to me as a

373
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 2: place that can give Boston the kind of return that

374
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: feels more in line with what they would be expecting

375
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: from Jalen Brown, coming off his best season being a

376
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: Celtics lifer at this point, won a championship, won a

377
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: finals MVP had his best year. Definitely feels like the

378
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: relationship has come to an end. But we know the

379
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: Celtics won't do a deal unless it sounds satisfying some

380
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: sort of internal requirements. They're gonna want a mix of

381
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: young players, they're gonna want to mix a salary cap relief,

382
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: and they're definitely gonna want picks in the future. Not

383
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 2: putting any picks into the Jamarant trade and then therefore

384
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: making some of your young guys more expendable on your roster.

385
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: That has to put them in play for Jalen Brown,

386
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: because at least now you could be like, look, we

387
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: got Scoot Henderson and a sign and traded Robert Williams.

388
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 2: Guess what he's coming back. We got a center, We

389
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: got a young future player who can help us stay

390
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: cheaper as we go into the next era with Jason Tatum.

391
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: I think Portland has to definitely be in the mix.

392
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: And look, if they're trying to make a splashy start

393
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: to the new Tom Dundan era, get the seats filled.

394
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: They're not going to have T shirts over the back

395
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: of them. But you could go and buy new jerseys.

396
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: You could buy a Jamorant. You can buy a Jalen Brown,

397
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: our team is suddenly a lot more exciting. Even if

398
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: we had tinkered a little and built a solid, fun,

399
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: up and coming team, this becomes a little bit more

400
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: of a star studded team, and ownership does tend to

401
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: like that kind of thing.

402
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Would you trade Danny Avdya for Jaylen Brown?

403
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: I don't think I would. I don't think I would

404
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: want I don't think contracts included Jalen are not a

405
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: better player. But obvious is pretty cheap right now.

406
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wonder, you know, there's talk obviously whether

407
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Klingon is in said reported deal too, and where you

408
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: draw the line, like I feel like everybody's on board

409
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: of course with like okay, it's got to be Sharper Scoot.

410
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Kamara you don't want to lose him.

411
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: That's a great obviously, you know, fifth or sixth beth

412
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: guy on your team. You love that idea defensive minded guy.

413
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 1: But if you're getting Jellen Brown, you got to give

414
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: up stuff. So it's just like I wonder where if

415
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: this is real, like where the line is where they

416
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: say no, no, how I mean, how badly do you

417
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: want out of jail in Brown business Boston, because we're

418
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: not giving up you know, player X, be it cling

419
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: In or Kamara or obviously Daniyofdiya, who they say is

420
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: off the table, which I believe.

421
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to see who's more untouchable challenge trade.

422
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: We're throwing out Jalen Brown, We're throwing out any sort

423
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 2: of matching contracts. Who's more untouchable between Donovan Clinging and

424
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Ugo Gonzales. Oh wow, Wow, these are like two guys who,

425
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: uh maybe we'll top out it making two All Star

426
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: games if their careers go absolutely insane. Sure, and they're

427
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: getting as much buzz about their trade availability as janis

428
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: Ante Tokupo.

429
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is weird. It is weird where these

430
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: these organizations just draw the line he's untouchable and you're like, okay, yeah,

431
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: maybe he is a very good player, maybe will be

432
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: a very good player, but wow, okay turned down, said

433
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: said superstar. Fascinating. Well, we'll see. We might as well

434
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: get off here because by the time we do, there'll

435
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: be something else.

436
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: Uh.

437
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: There is a lot of other you know, team option

438
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: oriented stuff, player option oriented stuff. We did a lot

439
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: of it on this morning's No Dunk's podcast. A bunch

440
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: of stuff has happened since lou dor cominga. Landry Shammick

441
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: got paid. He's going back to the n got paid. Yeah,

442
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was a nice little deal. But we

443
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: can save all of that for tomorrow. The plan is

444
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: right now to go live at five thirty pm Eastern

445
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: for our free agency special. Oh yeah, Lebron is he

446
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: going to the Warriors? We got to talk about that,

447
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. So we will talk about all of that

448
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: stuff unless there's another emergency podcast worthy trade at five

449
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: thirty pm Eastern, and we'll take you through right to

450
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: the actual official start of free agency. Though what does

451
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: that even mean anymore?

452
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: It's like no doubt point. It feels like we're off

453
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: and running already. I guess this is a pre trades

454
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: part of free agency, I guess, But what do you think?

455
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 2: I you know, I came home early. The family stayed

456
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: back in Illinois to do some more family hangs. But

457
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: I said, I got a podcast with the boys, I'm

458
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: going back. Yeah, but that means I got nothing to

459
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: do at night as I'm waiting for these trades to

460
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: come down. So of course I bought a movie ticket
