1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: The Knicks are rumored to want Andre Drummond. Is this

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: a good move? Kyle Lowry plays the perfect Kyle Lowry

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: game in what was likely his last game as a

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptor, and the Kings and Pistons pull off a

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: minor trade involving Delon Wright and Corey Joseph. It's trade

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: deadline day. I'm tas Malis and this is what you

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: need to know in the NBA for Thursday, March twenty five. Hey,

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: good morning, everybody eight hours away from trade deadline, might

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: just sit here and do an eight hour live stream

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: because we haven't had a lot of big trades. We

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: haven't even had a lot of minor trades. We've had

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: one minor trade, which we'll get to a little bit

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: later here on what you need to know, But first

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to start with a rumor that seems to

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: be the hottest rumor of all those rumors out there,

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Andre Drummond to the New York Knicks. Now. Andre Drummond

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: has been sitting out for the Cleveland Cavaliers because it's

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: expected that he is going to move at some point,

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: whether it's a trade or even a buyout, And with

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: the Knicks, if they don't get him in a trade,

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: there's talk that he might sign a long term deal.

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: It's like free agency with the New York Knicks. That

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: one is perplexing to me. I'm a little bit worried

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: for the New York Knicks here that they might turn

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: into the New York Knicks of a few years ago,

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: just signing vets to long term deals that doesn't really

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: benefit them. I think Tibbs and his front office that

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: have done a really good job with what they've got

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: right now. They've got young players playing, They're flying all

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: over the place. They're doing a really really good job.

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Why bring Andre Drummond in, especially if it's a long

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: term deal. You've got Mitchell Robinson just gave you thirty

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: minutes the other night, playing his butt off at the

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: center spot. You might say, well, they brought in Dereck Rose.

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Things worked out, okay, Derek Rose has worked out well.

36
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: He's playing a minor role he can play besides e

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Manuel Quickly. Andre Drummond would be playing the exact same

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: spot as Mitchell Robinson. You can't play them together. Plus

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: they have Neurlin's duel who is playing well. I'm worried

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: that the Knicks are going to turn into this team

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: again that just gets a little bit ahead of themselves.

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: They're on the verge of being good. Just signed guys

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,279
Speaker 1: who can compliment the players around them and not necessarily

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: take minutes away from them. They're also rumored to want

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Victor Oladipo, who is in the same scenario, but he's

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: at a point where he's not even playing all that well.

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: He's in the Andre Drummond boat where he's a vet

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: and could help you. But Victor Olideopo has not looked

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: like himself since that injury he had last year to

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, try to work out the kinks. But with

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: the Rockets this year, he has not looked right. So

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: he's he would be a rental. But I don't like

53
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: this sort of idea for the New York Knicks now.

54
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Victor Oldiepo sat out for the Houston Rockets last night.

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: It was for personal reasons, not because he was being dealt.

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: The Rockets winning streak excuse me ended at one after

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: they had lost twenty straight. The Hornets beat them. They

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: moved up to fourth in the East, although it's a

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: glut fourth through nine, separated by just two games. They've

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: got good news. LaMelo Ball will be reevaluated in four weeks,

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: so good for them. Victor Oladipo back to him. I

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: thought we'd see more guys who are rumored to be

63
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: in deals sit like him, although it was for personal reasons.

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: But no, all those guys rumored to be in deals,

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: they were playing like Kyle Lowry. Kyle Lowry ain't sitting

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: and if this was his last game as a Raptor,

67
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: it was a perfect game. Didn't score a ton, but

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: impacted his team a ton eight points, nine assists plus

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: forty two His team beat the other team, the Denver Nuggets,

70
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: by forty two points when he was out there. Because

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry does what he does. He walked off at

72
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: the end of the game, like Kyle Lowry does, the

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: patented Kyle Lowry waddle said goodbye to the cameras and

74
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: what was likely his last game. But no, guys aren't

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: sitting if they're rumored to be out. I was a

76
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: rumored to be traded. I was a little surprised by that.

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: What if a guy gets injured. I'm just a worry ward.

78
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: The Raps snapped their nine game losing streak and a

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: little bit more on that game. The Raptor's TV broadcast

80
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: on TSN was the NBA's first all female broadcast team.

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: Megan McPeek doing the play by play. She's great, she's

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: got the gravitas. She does it for the Raptors nine

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: oh five. She's just got the pacing. She was great,

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: felt like she was in the arena where the game

85
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: was being held, although she was watching it on a monitor.

86
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: Keia Nurse doing the color commentary. She was intelligent, she

87
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: was funny. That's a hard job to do, to be

88
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: both intelligent and funny, and she pulled out that get

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: the gabbage out of here at one point. Kayla Gray

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: also it's got the gravitas as a sideline reporter. Then

91
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: you had Amy Ottobert and Kate Barness in the studio.

92
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Barness opened the broadcast with a message to all girls

93
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: and women out there watching, saying you can do whatever

94
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: you want to do. That was a great message to

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: start and a great broadcast and great move by TSN

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: and the Raptors. Moving on to another guy, Evan Fournier,

97
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: who's been rumored to be in deals. He hit the

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: game winner for the Orlando Magic over the Phoenix Suns.

99
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: What a way to go out with the Orlando Magic.

100
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: He's hit sixty percent for his true shooting mark for

101
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: the season. He is having a real, real good season.

102
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Then he got on the Zoom call and got a

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: pretty emotional when talking about whether or not this was

104
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: his last game with the Orlando Magic. Again, another guy playing.

105
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about injuries these days. Maybe I'm just soft.

106
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Moving on to the one minor trade Detroit and Sacramento.

107
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings get Delon Right, who is the best player

108
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: in this trade to back up Dearon Fox. They need depth,

109
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: they want to win. On the other side, the Detroit

110
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Pistons get Corey Joseph and two second round picks, and

111
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: now Corey Joseph is on a non guaranteed deal for

112
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: next year. They just want to get younger. Corey Joseph

113
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: probably won't even be with a team next season. They

114
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: want to play Killian Hayes and Saban Lee. They even

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: have Dennis Smith there. So the Pistons to me get

116
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: the better package because they get two second round picks,

117
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: although the King's getting Delon Right getting a little deeper.

118
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: They want to win, so that makes sense. They've got

119
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who aren't even playing for them,

120
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: like Jabari Parker, so this helps them in the short term,

121
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: get below the cap, helps financially, and they get a

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: guy who's guaranteed on a good deal to back up

123
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Daron Fox and Tyre's Halliburton. And it shouldn't take any

124
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: minutes from Halliburton there Now. The Kings got what they

125
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: wanted on the floor as well. They got to win

126
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: beating Atlanta behind Dearon Fox Is thirty seven and Rookie

127
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: Tyre's Halliburton's clatch play and free throw shooting, and the

128
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Pistons on the floor, they lost to the Pacers, so

129
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: both teams involved in a trade got exactly what they wanted.

130
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: The Pacers got exactly what they wanted from Karris Lavert,

131
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: who hit a game winner bang home them at three ball.

132
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: Good to see Kerri Slavert, a guy involved in the

133
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: four team trade for James Harden coming back after a

134
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: mass was discovered on his kidney. He is a big

135
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: game shooter. He likes to take big shots. PACER's excited

136
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: about that. I'm gonna fly through some of the other

137
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: games that happened on an eleven game night in the Association.

138
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: The Bucks held on to beat the Celtics, and the

139
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: tight game down the stretch, even though the Bucks led

140
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: by as many as twenty five. Daniel Tice had a

141
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: shot from the corner to win it for Boston. Didn't

142
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: go down. Moral victory. For the Celtics, I guess they

143
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: are the second worst fourth quarter team in the NBA.

144
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: So for them to fight back against Milwaukee, who has

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: been extremely hot lately, I guess. But the Celtics are

146
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: an enigma. Will they make a move here at the

147
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: deadline to try and shake up that locker room because

148
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: they are just not playing to their capabilities A talent

149
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: far better than what their record shows. The Mavericks routed

150
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: the Bulls only fourteen six and six. Doncich Christops Porzingis

151
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: must like playing against Carl Anthony Towns. He had twenty nine.

152
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: The Wolves are so up and down. Do they trade

153
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: a player like Ricky Rubio who's solid for them in

154
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: the starting point guard spot and is sort of a

155
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: mentor to Anthony Edwards beside him because they're in this

156
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: funny spot. They're not getting any better. But do you

157
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: take another step back? You know, do you pull off

158
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: what the Detroit Pistons are trying to do, or do

159
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: you try and do what the Sacramento Kings are trying

160
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: to do. I think they go that route because they're

161
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: trying to show towns, trying to show Edwards that they're

162
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: trying to win games. The other games on the night,

163
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: Memphis beat OKC, who is now sitting Shay Gilgess Alexander

164
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: because of Planner fasciatus. Their own Skeets points out, this

165
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: is probably just because they're winning too many basketball games now.

166
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a balance of both. You don't want

167
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: SGA getting hurt, but at the same time, it's a

168
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: good point by Skeets here. If they were in a

169
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: playoff run, they would be playing SGA. Who's balling. Chicago,

170
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: the NBA's worst fourth quarter team, lost to a Collin

171
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: Sexton less Cleveland Cavaliers team. Maybe the Bulls aren't back.

172
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: The Clippers routed the Spurs, and the Jazz routed a

173
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: Nets team that didn't have any of their big three.

174
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: That's it for me. Make sure you check out a

175
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: full No Dunks episode. After the NBA trade deadline has

176
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: expired at three pm Eastern, they will wrap up all

177
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: the trades which will happen today. There'll be multiple trades.

178
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: Will they be big? You're just gonna have to tune

179
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: into No Dunks to find out. I'll be back tomorrow

180
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: to give you the news as fast as I possibly

181
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: can as I bang this mic. Sorry, j D. I'll

00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: talk to you then.
