We will catch our 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.319 breath a bit with this episode. We will update you 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.600 on free agency and potential trades leading up to next 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.479 week's NBA Draft. God damn, we've got a lot of 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.919 tea on Bradley Beal, Zion Dame, all the news from 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.680 around the league. Basketball season is over, and now the 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.559 busy season begins. So Nick, do me a favor and 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.839 drop that motherfucking generic ass beat that should be Rihanna. 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.720 We're back in the studio, baby, No more episodes at 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.800 midnight where I'm barely awake. 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.120 Those are fun episodes, by the way. 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.960 They are. I just I just extend everything out. 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.039 Like this bab, Like this bab. 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.080 We got the draft next week, then we got free agency, 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.440 and then we got Summer League. So much as happening, folks. 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.760 My head is spinning, we have to say, because I 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.360 don't think We've had an episode since this happened. The 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.760 Denver Nuggets won the Chip and Nikoli Okicch doesn't seem 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.720 like he cares really at all. He's already lost his 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:38.040 NBA Finals trophy. He's probably lost his Western Conference Finals trophy. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.080 He's like, I just want to go home and see 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.160 my horses win some sort of I don't even know 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.160 what type of race is happening in Serbia, but I 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:45.160 guess it's important. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.320 He's ready to be done with basketball. He even broke 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:50.040 the code. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.360 You're not supposed to say when you make that much 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.960 money and you do all the things that people of 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.640 his stature do, like you're supposed to like your job, 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:04.520 and Nikola Okicch build the t Hey everyone, every single person, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.360 no matter what they do, hates their job. And if 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.880 they say they love it, I'm sure that there are 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.760 people out there who say that they're lying. He's like, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.480 I'm sure, he said, Oh, maybe other people feel differently. 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:17.239 They're lying. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.360 He just said it right there on the podium. Everyone 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.480 is looking to the future already, even the Nuggets. Reports 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.640 are that Denver Nuggets GM Calvin Booth missed Game four 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.800 of the NBA Finals because he was scouting the draft, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.200 and that was after Calvin Booth already pulled off a 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:41.359 trade with Oklahoma City during the finals. I've never seen 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.200 that before, but the records the Nuggets swapped a protected 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.000 twenty twenty nine first round pick to OKC for the 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.280 least favorable of okac's twenty twenty four first round pick, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.000 the number thirty seven pick in the twenty twenty three draft, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.280 and a twenty twenty four second round pick. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.840 Do you know what that means? Maybe there's another Yogic 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:00.920 around the corner. Baby. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.519 At the thirty seventh overall pick, you're gonna get some 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.280 random dude that they play a Taco Bell commercial over 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.200 when they draft them. Remember, Yogi t went forty first 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:17.120 in the draft. Why would why would Calvin Booth do that? 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.800 Why would he look for the thirty seventh pick in 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.280 the finals. Just saying, grind never sleeps for an NBA executive. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:32.480 Speaking of executives, David Griffin, our favorite pianist, has a 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.400 shit storm on his hands dealing with the Zion fallout, 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.000 which has been tremendous. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.080 It is NonStop. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.440 I don't think Mariah Mills has stopped tweeting since she 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.720 started to tweet it has been shocking. It appears that 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:54.960 Zion would quote like a change of scenery. Apparently the 0:03:55.040 --> 0:04:00.320 change of scenery shocking is New York City the only 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.119 place that everybody's been saying Zion has been wanting to go. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.160 He said, remember when he played at MSG, and he 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.320 was like, I love Madison Square Garden. It's my favorite 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.200 place on earth to play. Well, I mean except for 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.680 the Smoothie King Center. It's like, all right, Zion, we 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.080 get it. You want to be in New York. The problem, well, 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.599 for one, Mariah Mills has made Zion's personal reputation in 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.000 stock about as low as it could possibly be. I 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.160 think she's tweeted twelve thousand times since Friday. I won't 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.559 get into it, but like I said, she's still going 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:37.479 second Zion. The more importantly, Zion has played really not 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.040 at all in four years. If you're you were to 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.440 guess how many games Zion has played in the combined 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.080 four seasons that he's been in the NBA, and there's 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.520 mind you, eighty two games per year, except for the 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:55.000 COVID year, which was seventy two, and then the shortened 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.800 bubble year, which was I forget, like sixty. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.120 Eight or something. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.640 How I mean four times that. That's the lot, right, 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:07.919 There's over three hundred games. Zion has played in one 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.520 hundred and fourteen of them. During that same stretch, Nikola 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.839 Jokich has played three hundred and thirty games. 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:16.960 Think about that. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:23.159 So, anybody Portland Portland thinking about trading for Zion, which 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.600 they would never do because they're way too smart for that. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.120 At least, think about the injury concerns. Think about that. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.719 Think about the fact that Zion's ass doesn't even like 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.240 to come back and play defense. He just saunters back 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.560 like he's, uh, I don't know, like walking. Mark Stein 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.160 reports that the Pelicans really want Scoot Henderson. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:45.159 Good fucking luck. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.480 Okay, good luck with that unless you're gonna get a 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.239 trade going with the Charlotte Hornets. 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.279 Good luck. I heard this week. This is what mark 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:52.840 Stein said. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.920 I heard this week from one placed, well placed observer 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.120 who is convinced that the Pelicans would indeed consider dealing 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.240 Williamson away. It meant that they could draft Scoot. Pointing 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:08.440 to a rising level of exasperation within the organization regarding 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:16.440 Williamson's ongoing availability issues and overall approach overall approach is 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.280 really doing a lot of work. My read at this 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:24.560 juncture is that the Pelicans are less inclined to consider 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.480 trading brandon Ingram in. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.240 This same scenario. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:35.880 Exasperation, we'll just say, is not a great adjective when 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.440 describing how you feel about your star player that you 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.080 took number one overall in the draft four years ago. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:47.520 Exasperation leads me to believe that if you want the 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:54.840 definition intensely irritated and frustrated, it's like your wits end 0:06:55.480 --> 0:07:01.600 is exasperation. The end of the rope is exasperation. Folks, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.560 Do I like theoretically Scoot in New Orleans? 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:11.239 Maybe? Do I love Zion in New York? No? 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:17.600 Do I love Zion in Portland? Absolutely fucking not. It's 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.679 being floated out that Zion's trade value has never been lower, which, 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.760 to be fair, is true. But what is the value 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.800 of Zion? There are some idiots out there, there really are. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.000 There are people who think, well, if he could be 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.679 fully healthy, he is dominant when he's on the floor, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.080 he is an all star, he is box office. Just 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.280 the mere thought of him playing basketball for our team 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.480 means that we'll probably sell an immense amount of season tickets. 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.880 But let's face it, he's never available. His upside is high, 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:56.080 but his downside is in street clothes, spitting in Mariah 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:56.800 Mills's mouth. 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.239 Will he be on the move? 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.560 Stranger things have happen, and so this will be a 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:25.280 wild run up to the draft. Speaking of wild scenarios, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:34.440 it looks like Bradley Beale, maybe on the move from 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.240 the Wizards after getting ted leonsis to sign off on 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:42.840 one of the weirdest contracts in modern NBA history, where 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:47.160 Beal is overpaid and has the only no trade clause 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:48.680 in existence in the NBA. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.120 He's going to have full say on any trade. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.079 Meaning, so say a deal gets done with Beale in 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.120 the Boston Celtics and he says, I'll go to the 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.240 Boston Celtics, and then they say, all right, well we're 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.280 gonna move Jason Tatum for you. He can say, well, no, 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.920 I'm not gonna agree to that. I'm not going to 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.240 the Celtics. If there's no Tatum, he has to agree 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:16.920 to all facets of said trade. Now, there are reports 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.959 from Schams and that Beale and the Wizards are looking 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.040 for a new home and that the Wizards are in 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.800 full blown rebuild, So ted le owns is just a 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:30.120 little background one of the most I would call slimy 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:36.080 owners from a perspective of just straight lying to fans 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.600 and saying that they're going to compete when we know 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:43.400 that they're not. And now, under the guise of good faith, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.880 he said he fired Tommy Shepherd because he was frustrating 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:48.240 that they. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.760 Weren't doing what they needed to do to do a rebuild. 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.160 I'm sorry. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:58.720 The rebuild aspect was never really even a possibility because 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.640 ted Leonsis would rather have the Wizards be an eight 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.400 seed and get the money for one play in game, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.880 then to just fully blow it up and start it again. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.200 Here's the kicker though, because of the contract for Bal 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.839 and the fact that the no trade clause carries forward 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.880 to the new team as well as a trade kicker 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.160 for Bradley Beal. I think he gets a raise or 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.920 a bonus if he gets traded. Brian Windhors is now 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.880 reporting that the hall that the Wizards will get for 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.600 Beal will be shockingly low. I don't know, some guy 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.280 who's never healthy making sixty million dollars feels like his 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.120 stock probably is pretty low. This is what Windhors had 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.920 to say, if Bradley Beal gets traded between now and 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.840 next Thursday, I think people are going to be very 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:45.120 surprised at the price and how potentially low it's going 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.440 to be, because his contract is not attractive, and especially 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.640 going forward, it would mean having to pay fifty million 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.719 dollars to a player on your team that may not 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.680 be a first or second All NBA player. 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.520 I suspect if he gets traded it. 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.160 Would be for a fraction of what Donovan Mitchell and 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.160 Rudy Gobert were traded for. 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.280 Man, life's a bitch and then you die. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.200 Wizards, you could have traded Bradley bil two years ago 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:12.960 for a haul, but you know what you decided. 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.040 Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, brutal. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.560 End for the Wizards who at one point could have 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.400 easily gotten probably for first round picks for Beale. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.040 Still, there are a number of suitors. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.560 Kendrick Perkins says that Jason Tatum is pushing hard for 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.600 Bradley Beial to be in Boston. Lots of rumors swirling 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:35.400 around the Miami Heat, including one bozo from the Miami 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.640 Herald who thinks that the Heat will be able to 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.800 trade for Beal and Dame. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.000 There is a man out there that is in existence. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.920 Of breath who believes that the Miami Heat can get 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:52.240 brad Beal and Dame Lollard without giving up Jimmy Butler 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:58.840 and bam Adebayle. What kind of early eighties pure cocaina 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.800 is This guy on? Nick Nurse is also set to 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.240 covet Bradley Beal as a hardened replacement in Miami, which 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.439 would be a fascinating dynamic as well. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.640 But I think, truthfully, I like. 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.120 Miami a lot, but I think the best spot might 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.320 be the Knicks. New York has trade assets, they won't 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.960 have to give up a lot. The Wizards need young 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.080 talent who are able to perform at least on an 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.520 NBA level right now, but you have a ton of upside. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.079 Beal and Brunson might be a little undersized, but they 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.000 do score a shitload of points. Beale, I think six' 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.640 five is he not six,' FOUR so i mean, THAT'S 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:42.440 fine i guess for.
