1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've got an emergency podcast because the Lakers

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: are finally making a trade. Welcome to the No Dunks

3
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: podcasts on Jaye Skeiths. We got task Millists, we got

4
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Trey Kirby, we got Jerome in the backgrounds pushing the buttons.

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: According to multiple reports, Los Angeles has agreed to a

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: deal with the Wizards for Ruy Hachimurah that will include

7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Kendrick Nunn and multiple second round picks. ESPN broke the

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: news shams our guy of the Athletic. He confirmed that

9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: the deal was done, and yes, Ruey Hachimura going to

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: the Lakers, Kendrick Nunn going to the Wizards, and a

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: whole bunch of second round picks that the Wizards will

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: probably just screw up anyway, tasks, we had to do

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: an emergency pod. I think we're doing this to get

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: our reps ready for the actual deadline as it approaches,

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: because this is not a blockbuster. How do you think

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: this is.

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: Not the deal people expected from the Lakers. Should we

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: be doing this? Maybe not? Yeah, we need the reps,

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: especially because as I look at my background here, my

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: picture frame is a little ruly hot Chimura. This lighting

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: situation not too good here.

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: But this is a tiny.

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: Upgrade for the Lakers. This is a situation they've been

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: playing guys like Max Christy Cole Swider. This guy can score.

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: He can score better than Kendrick Nunn. He just put

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: thirty on the Magic the other day. He can score

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: from every level. He's having a bad year shooting the

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: three ball. But it's a guy coming off the bench.

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: They're not going to ask a lot from him defensively

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: because he can't do that all that well. The Wizards

31
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: were done with him. The Wizard's direction is a big

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: question for me. I don't like where they're going, But

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: a tiny upgrade for the Lakers with a guy you

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: can score the ball. Put him with Westbrook, his old teammate,

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: and I think it's just a tiny upgrade because they've

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: got bodies missing. That's all it is. It's not taken

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: another promised land, but it helps a bit.

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Trey, I saw you tweet on this news.

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: This changes everything. So you think this is a huge

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: deal here for both of these teams. Yeah, I think

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: I might have jumped the gun on that one's skeets,

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: as I see user zero zero one said in the stream,

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: team here the Trade Mischief says this has no effect

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: on either team's wins. Oh wow, Yeah, that seems about

45
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: right to me. But I'm with Tass. This seems like

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 3: a worthwhile little roll of the dice from the Lakers.

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 3: They need some scoring, they need some wing help. Ruy

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: Hachimura is a pretty decent catch and shoot three point player.

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: You know that Lebron's going to be serving them up

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: some tasty dishes and they're giving up basically nothing. Three

51
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: second round picks. That's a lot of picks, but they

52
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: are second rounders for a team that isn't super concerned

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 3: with the draft right now while they're trying to win.

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: They gave up Kendrick Nunn, who has been in and

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 3: out of the rotation, hasn't exactly lived up to expectations

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: coming to LA last year, missing a huge chunk of

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: the season, then struggling this year. So taking a chance

58
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: on Rui I think is pretty fair for the Lakers

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: considering the return that they gave up. Yeah, and just

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: so everybody knows, go to see some people asking what's

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: his contract situation, Hatchi Mura.

62
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: He's in the final year of his rookie deal. This

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: is a part of it here too, right, the Wizards,

64
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: they've been shopping him after the two sides, they couldn't

65
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: come to an agreement on an extension heading into the season.

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: We even saw on Friday, Yeahoo sports Jake Fisher. He

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: said the Lakers had offered two second round picks, but

68
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: the Wizards were holding out for a first round pick

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: for Rui Hachimura. But Fisher even said, hey, throw in

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: a third second round pick and maybe it gets the

71
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: deal done. And then here we are tasked with those

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: three second round picks and then Kendrick Dunn to make

73
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: the books work to take you to take this flyer

74
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: here on Hatchi Mura and like you said, maybe adding

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: at least some offensive of you know, firepower to a

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: Lakers team and a bigger body too that can play

77
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: the wing. He's not a great defensive player, or ye

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: at least hasn't shown to be one. But he is

79
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: a bigger guy that can get hot at times. I mean,

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I think he scored thirty not that long ago, so

81
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: he can do that.

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: He can. Just Saturday, the Wizards were done with him.

83
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: They didn't extend him before the season. He wanted a

84
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: bigger role and this season, they have clearly indicated that

85
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: he is going down their depth chart. He started for

86
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: the first two seasons of his career, then last year

87
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: he was off the bench for some of it. This

88
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: year he hasn't started a game. They've put Kuzma at

89
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: the small forward spot and put Porzingis and Gafford beside him.

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: So Kuzma's deep on the depth chart. Even though he

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: had thirty the other night. He's behind Avdia for minutes.

92
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: And he probably wants a bigger role, But it's really

93
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: about this season for the Lakers, and I think he'll

94
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: have to accept coming off the bench and being able

95
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: to pot those passes. As Trey said, he will be

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: getting served up, not just from Lebron but also for Westbrook,

97
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: and that bodes well because even though I'm a Ruie lover,

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: he hasn't been able to set other guys up. The

99
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: guy does not pass basically at all. If you look

100
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: at his ratio of assists to buckets, Yeah, he doesn't

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: set anybody up. All forwards basically are better than he is.

102
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: He's in a very very low percentele for setting guys up.

103
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, just be a score. I mean, it looks

104
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: like his ceiling is going to be in this league.

105
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: Is gonna be like a sixth guy, a sixth man,

106
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: which is just score only, And that's a That was

107
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: sort of what Kendrick Nunn's profile was too. Coming into

108
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: the season. I thought he would be better, but obviously

109
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: he isn't the same guy. But Ruy can't get buckets.

110
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: So move over Cole Swider, move over Max Christy. There's

111
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: a new Rui in ten.

112
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are the Wizards doing here? TK? I mean,

113
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: can you figure out you know this decision? And I guess,

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, I guess if you're picking between Ruey in Avdia,

115
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: they're leaning towards Ovdia, Moore and other the picks like

116
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: what's what put your put your mind in the head?

117
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 3: And this is scary of Tommy Shepard there in that crew,

118
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: you're a twisted guy's skeets asking because it feels like

119
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: Kuzmania is running wild in Washington. It felt like Kyle

120
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: Kuzma would be a top trade target for a lot

121
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: of teams around the NBA. A team like the Lakers,

122
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: you would think would probably be interested, but the price

123
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: was perhaps a little bit too expensive for them to pay. Meanwhile,

124
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: it feels like the Wizards are choosing Denny over Ruey

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: a fair choice. I think you know, Ruey is a

126
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: bucket getter, but Denny's a little bit younger. They got

127
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: some guys who can score in Washington, so maybe the

128
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: defense helps there. But it definitely feels like they're kind

129
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 3: of clear in the way to sign Kyle Kuzma to

130
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: an extension or another deal coming up here, which then

131
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: means you're paying a huge chunk of your salary cap

132
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: to Brad Bale, Chris Snaps Forzingis and Kyle Kuzma, who

133
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: are at best all like fringe All Star candidates. So

134
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: it feels like a pretty wizardy move. But I guess

135
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: if nobody was willing to chip in a first rounder

136
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: for really, three seconds is better than nothing.

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people pointing out the Lakers are just

138
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: getting the Wizards band back together task too, with really

139
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: coming over there joining Troy Brown, Westbrook, Thomas Bryant, and

140
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: of course now really they got they got four former Wizards.

141
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll take what they can get. The problem is

142
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: that they have been banged up, not just Anthony Davis,

143
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: but Austin Reeves, who's their third best player this season,

144
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: Lonnie Walker. So they just need bodies and to give

145
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: up three seconds if well, it's not it's not nothing,

146
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: but it's also nothing. So Rapolinka has another with seventeen

147
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: days to debate whether or not he's going to move

148
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: a first round pick to help the starting lineup. This

149
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: is just a move to help out the bench because

150
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: they need some depth and they have shown that they're

151
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: worth spending something on. I mean, the rest of the

152
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: roster is worth spending something on because they're fighting. This

153
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: isn't a team that's just rolled over and died. They

154
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: had a you know, they've gone ten and nine since

155
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis went out. As we talked about on our

156
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: Monday pod, it's worth trying to get this team better

157
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: to see how far the Lakers can climb in the

158
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: standings win. Anthony Davis comes back this week. So this

159
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: is a this is a good position for the Lakers

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: to be in. But yeah, the Wizards, they have a

161
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: terrible offense, and they've got all offensive players, and they've

162
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: got three guys who can score, who are scoring not

163
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: can't score, who are scoring more than twenty points per game,

164
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: and they're you know towards the bottom of the league

165
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: in defense, which is weird, but yeah, that's traice that

166
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: when when they signed Kusma, the headline's going to read

167
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: Kyle Kuzma returns as one of the three twenty point

168
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: scorers on the she did Wizards. Yeah, and they're not

169
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: good and it's going to continue to be that way.

170
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: Most likely Ruy probably wasn't part of that. Danny Avdia

171
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: is definitely better picked that. He's their sort of go

172
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: to defensive player down the stretch, and he masters better

173
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: with Bill and Porzingis and kus But it seems like

174
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: it's going to be a mediocre team for the foreseeable future.

175
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Shout out to Silver Screen and Roll for reminding me

176
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: that this deal will be the third trade between these

177
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: two teams in the last three years, because we had

178
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: that one in twenty nineteen where the Lakers traded a

179
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: bunch of guys to the Wizards to basically clear up

180
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: cap space in the summer of twenty nineteen, and then

181
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: the other one was the Russell Westbrook deal, which is

182
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: now we have this one and this.

183
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: Is who is the twenty nineteen one.

184
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: It was like it was like Mo Wagner, a Jones

185
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: who I can't even remember his first name. It was

186
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: like a bunch of like whoo who in terms of

187
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: clearing cap space for Is this the worst trade we've

188
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: ever done in an emergency podcast? For now though, because we

189
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: did have the infamous Nix Hawks trade which had Cam

190
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Reddish going to the Knicks. Now, there was a first

191
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: round pick included in that, but it was like Kevin

192
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: Knox was the player coming back to Atlanta. Also a

193
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: number nine pick here, just like ruy Ha Jamura who

194
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't pan out. I guess Cam Ruddis was number ten pick, But.

195
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

196
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: Is this one worse TK? I know we're gonna wait

197
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: and see. Maybe Ruy's got something to give the Lakers,

198
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: But could it be? I think yes?

199
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: Though the twist of Rui going to play with the

200
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: Lakers and Lebron certainly throws a wrinkle into things. Just

201
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: look at how Malik Monk did last year. You know,

202
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 3: had a great season alongside Lebron. Be an athletic shooting

203
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: every time he's got the ball because he was gonna

204
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: be open. Turned that into a nice contract and a

205
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: nice season with the Kings. Lakers got to be helping

206
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: the same for really hot Chamura, But yeah, I think

207
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: I think the Cam Reddish for our first round pick

208
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: had a little bit more buzz because it was still

209
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: earlier in the career and a first round pick could

210
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: be anything.

211
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, it could even be Cam Reddish someday. That's right.

212
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: But it's so exciting when you see first round pick

213
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: compared to three seconds, when there's that many picks and

214
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: they're all second rounders, it feels like nothing.

215
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think tests.

216
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: It's highly debatable. I'm with you. The name was Buzzier.

217
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: Cam Raddish's name Buzzier at the time felt like he

218
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: had a higher ceiling at the time. It's wild to

219
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: see him out of the rotation and looks like he

220
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: could be flipped in the next seventeen days. The difference

221
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: was we were in studio for that one and we

222
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: had just finished We had just finished recording, so it

223
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: was an easy flip on the cameras and go. If

224
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: this was a scenario today, like it was a couple

225
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: of years ago, I think we still would have done it.

226
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: But you know, reverse the scenario. If we were all

227
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: in our driving home doing our own things, would we

228
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: have done the Reddish one? I don't know.

229
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, so you know, hey, look this could

230
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: go full So who's to say the Lakers still don't

231
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: acquire Cam Reddish from the New York Nicks. Now I

232
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: know that none contract may have been a part of

233
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: a potential deal. He's obviously going to the Wizards. I

234
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: guess Lonnie Walker could still be. Uh, you know, there

235
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: still are some future second round picks that could get

236
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: it done. It's not gonna take a lot probably to

237
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: get Cam. So hey, that would be amazing. But I'll

238
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: tell you right now, we're not doing an emergency.

239
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 3: Podcast the Cam Reddish goes to the Lakers unless it's

240
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: for Unless it's for Lebron.

241
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: Rady be a shocker.

242
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: I think we have to do a show on that one.

243
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll do it on that. But if it's for

244
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: another second round pick or maybe Lonnie Walker, yeah, we're

245
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: we're not doing it for Cam. Oh Man, any other

246
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I'm ruly going here to LA or

247
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: the Wizards whatever they're doing. Anything else, guys, Before we

248
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: wrap this up, my.

249
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: Couple little thoughts are that the Lakers did a move

250
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: to upgrade their team without using any.

251
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Of their big trade pieces.

252
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: So I think that's pretty solid for them, right, They've

253
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: still got twenty seven pick, they've still got twenty nine pick,

254
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: they've still got Westbrook's contract, and like you're saying, in

255
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: a few more little movable pieces if they could find

256
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: the right sort of deal, So they still have moves

257
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 3: to be made. And also Anthony Irwin pointed this out

258
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: that maybe the idea of a recent top ten pick

259
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: in Rui Hachimura going for no first round pick brings

260
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: the prices down around the league, so that maybe you're

261
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 3: able to sell things a little bit easier if you

262
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: don't have to be getting off a first round pick

263
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: to get players who are kind of middle of the road.

264
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 3: So maybe this opens the gates trade wise.

265
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, Just last thing is that I'm still shocked

266
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: how the Lakers have navigated Anthony Davis's injury. So the

267
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: fact that they're ten and nine since he went out,

268
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: he's coming back, and there are only a few games

269
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: out of fourth, it's surprising. And so they're kind of

270
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 2: going forward here, like you know, this is a tiny

271
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: step of ruly to help out the bench, but they

272
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: are pleasing Lebron, I'm sure in some way, and they

273
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: should be going for it. As as I said, they've been.

274
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: They've been, you know, working pretty hard to stay afloat

275
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: and came back twice this weekend so they could easily

276
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: when all of a sudden done. Even though we wrote

277
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: them up, we wrote them off a couple times on

278
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: this show, thinking that when Anthony Davis goes down, they're done.

279
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: They're literally a few games out of being a team

280
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: with home court advantage, and so they've been.

281
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: They're not helped out by the rest of the Western

282
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: Conference sort of crapping the bed at times sometimes because

283
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: of injuries, some just you know, maybe make up of

284
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: the roster and the Mavericks case the Clipper, Like, yeah,

285
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: I think we thought other teams may put a bit

286
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: of separation right and sort of join the Grizzlies and

287
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: the Nuggets at the top there, and really a lot

288
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: of them haven't. So it's helped out teams like the

289
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: Lakers that are that are sorry trying to get in

290
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: out of the play and even into the playoffs, and

291
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: like you said, maybe even home court advantage.

292
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Wow, if the Lakers have a home court game one.

293
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: Of the of the first round of the playoffs after

294
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: the really weird year, that would be it'd be strange,

295
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: but it's in mix.

296
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: In the crypt.

297
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: Well, let's hear from everybody your thoughts if you have

298
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: any on Rui Hachimura going to the Los Angeles Lakers

299
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: for Kendrick Nunn and three second round picks. This was

300
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: just a little quick emergency podcast. If you're just catching

301
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: this one, go check out our morning podcast where we

302
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: talked about the NBA weekend winners and losers. The Lakers

303
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: got a winner of the weekend from Task himself them

304
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: getting wins. We talked a lot about the Shannon Sharp

305
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: versus the Grizzlies incident. I love to hear Sharp's thoughts

306
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: on Rui hachimur coming to the Lakers. Can't wait for

00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: him to weigh in. But yeah, let us know what
