Speaker 2: We'll get tonight last night to excuse me these games

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: as well, But we got some news here first. Let's

69
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: just slip it in. Hornets guard LaMelo Ball and Spurs

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: guard Dejonte Murray will replace their NBA All or make

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: excuse me, their NBA All Star debuts after being named

72
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: as injury replacements by Adam Silver on Monday. LaMelo taking

73
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: the spot of Kevin Durant and Murray will sub for

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: Draymond Green. Both those guys injured, Katie and Draymond. Katie's

75
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: got the sprained MCL and the left knee, and Draymond's

76
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: got this back injury that's kept him out for a

77
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: while here. So tas, I mean, these were names on

78
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people's lists. Draymond Green was talking about

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: johnt Murray, Johntay Murray, John Murray when he was on

80
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: the broadcast, but surprised.

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: At all with the LaMelo ball one a tiny bit.

82
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: Jared Allen had gained some steam in the last few weeks.

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: I do like the Lamello inclusion. A couple of us

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: had him on our All Star teams. It's going to

85
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: be exciting seeing him flinging that ball around on the

86
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: Sunday even though he's getting in over Jared Allen, who

87
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: would seem to be the next guy who is another

88
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: one of my sons this season.

89
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 6: I love Jared Allen and Jared Allen going.

90
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: From five years, one hundred million before this season, who

91
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: is that guy to underpaid? This season? He is absolutely

92
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: killing it. But I'm pumped for LaMelo and they got

93
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 3: to get them in now. They got to get a

94
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 3: Charlotte horded in now before they go sub five hundred,

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: because they're losing game after game after game after game.

96
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: I think it's a five game losing streak. And yeah,

97
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: it was cool seeing him on the bench there and

98
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: Jantey Murray. Hey, a little respect to the Spurs. The

99
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: Spurs exist, I guess. I mean it seems like they've

100
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: flown under the radar for years really, so it's great

101
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: to see him and his bounce back from his injury

102
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago.

103
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 5: In reaction to these two guys, Well, for Adam Silva,

104
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: it must have been tough because I saw it Raptors fans,

105
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 5: I saw Wolves fans, I saw Sons fans all saying, oh,

106
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 5: where's the respect for al going? You know where there's

107
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: Bridges or Anthony Edwards or Siakam. So it was tough

108
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: no matter who he chose. I think Jared Allen on

109
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: the whole season is more deserving. But I'm certainly not

110
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: upset that LaMelo Ball's in. He would have been probably

111
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: right behind Jared Allen for me in the Eastern Conference

112
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: for guys getting in, so a little surprised because it's

113
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 5: in Cleveland. He didn't go Jared Allen first. Maybe there'll

114
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 5: be another spot anyway here, depending on Kevin Durant and

115
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 5: one or two other guys, And I think I think

116
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: Jared Allen's are near lock to get that spot. But

117
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 5: LaMelo balls should be fun. He'll be entertaining and it's

118
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: good to see Charlotte Hornet in there.

119
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: I think some people maybe were surprised that Commissioner Silver

121
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: in the league went with two more guards in place

122
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: of two forwards Katie and dreamond Green that part they

123
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: usually you know, I didn't go crunch the numbers and

124
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: look at every All Star replacement, but it feels like

125
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: if a forward goes out, they sort of replaced it

126
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: with a forward player. If a guard goes out there,

127
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: it plays it with another guard player, but not in

128
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: this case straight.

129
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: Like for like is what I was expecting, especially with

130
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 4: the game being in Cleveland. So to mean Jared Allen,

131
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: he's a dubb snub snub twice, no other way to

132
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: say it. You could just say it was snub twice. Smart. Anyways,

133
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 4: it's hard to be mad at putting LaMelo in the

134
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 4: All Star Game, Like it's going to be just fun

135
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: to watch him. I assume he will make numerous appearances

136
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 4: throughout the course of his career, and as we saw

137
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 4: with Rudy Gobert in the past, it took him a

138
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: while to actually make his first All Star team, so

139
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: Jared Allen will get there eventually. It just felt like

140
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: this was the perfect time for him, especially after having

141
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 4: a great weekend twenty rebounds followed by seventeen rebounds. Looked

142
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: like he was going to be getting that All Star

143
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: replacement spot. And I'm really happy to see de Jontay

144
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 4: Murray make it because I just thought that Adam Silver

145
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: would go with Anthony Davis, a huge name, a long

146
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: time All Star. But this is nice to throw a

147
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: little bonet to the Spurs because Murray's been incredible this

148
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: year nineteen nine to eight, almost a triple double. He's

149
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: been an All Star. So cool that he's actually getting

150
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: in the game.

151
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: And I wonder how much it factored in to have

152
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: two more franchises represented in the All Star Game rather

153
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: than a second calv or a second one.

154
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: What is this baseball well spread out?

155
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 7: SI?

156
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, I'm happy Anthony Davis didn't get there,

157
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: And to be honest, you know, it's just having a

158
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: s up part year and as the as the players

159
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: had him what they had him way down in terms

160
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: of forwards in terms of what they voted. So yeah,

161
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: it's great to get a Spur in there. It just

162
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: seems like only the diehards really, really really are watching

163
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: the Spurs over the last few years.

164
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: The only other news from this is that the league

165
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: announced that Jason Tatum will take Durant's place as a

166
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: starter because of where he landed in terms of votes.

167
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: That's how they ultimately end up deciding that. So the

168
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: fan vote, I believe comes in to play there. So

169
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: Tatum's in, he'll be he'll be in that the starter pool.

170
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: When we get to Lebron and Katie, who's still gonna draft?

171
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: He says his squad here even though he's not playing

172
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: in the game that well thinks happening on Thursday if

173
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: I have that right. Okay, let's get to last night's

174
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: games five. We'll touch on all five of them. Booker

175
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: scores thirty eight. Tray as the NBA best Phoenix Suns,

176
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: hang on, hang on to beat the Bulls, very deceiving final.

177
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: Score, well deceiving three point game. This is close. The

178
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: Balls had a chance to win this one handed down

179
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: in the final the final couple of minutes. Just kidding,

180
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: The Sun's completely outclassed the Bulls in this one. Devin

181
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: Booker was on fire, especially in the first half. He

182
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: finished with thirty eight points, added four rebounds, five assists,

183
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: was fourteen of twenty three shooting. He could have been

184
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: an even better shooting because he was just gunning for

185
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: forty at the end, which you know, respect to him.

186
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: Chris Paul went for nineteen and eleven. It was basically

187
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: when Devin Booker wasn't taken over, Chris Paul was taken over.

188
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 4: Every other starter for Phoenix was in double figures. Javal

189
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: McGee gave him sixteen points off the bench. He dominated

190
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 4: the second quarter. He hit a three pointer. It was

191
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: the Javail show out there. Jake Crowder had a double double.

192
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 4: As for the Bulls, they got thirty eight from DeRozan.

193
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: Zach Levine was back in the lineup. He looked pretty good,

194
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: thirty two points. When they're playing, they're going to be

195
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: in games because DeRozan and Levine they can just score.

196
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: But right now, with no Lonzo, no Caruso, it basically

197
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 4: comes down to trading buckets and you're not gonna beat

198
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: the Suns trading buckets in the fourth quarter. Especially for

199
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: the Bulls. This was their fourth game in five nights,

200
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 4: coming off that loss on I Guess Sunday against the

201
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: seventy six ers where Joel Embiid put up a whole

202
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 4: bunch of points. Couple of funny number notes here you

203
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: mentioned at skeets. This ended up being a close game

204
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: because the teams emptied their bench. Malcolm Hill checked in

205
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: with a minute forty one left and scored eight points

206
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 4: and he was just like knocking down threes. And Devin Booker,

207
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: like I said, he finished with thirty eight. He missed

208
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: his last two shots, which would have given him forty points. Obviously,

209
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: that would have been three straight games that the Bulls

210
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 4: allowed forty points Scoo lavert Embiid and then thirty eight

211
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 4: for Booker. So yeah, not great for the Bulls. But

212
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: what do you expect you're playing against the Suns. They

213
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: don't mess around. They always take care of business.

214
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this was crazy because it was our Pickham game,

215
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: and I have to admit I was like, oh, Test

216
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 2: finally got to win.

217
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: Here.

218
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: In February, they were up fifteen with a couple of

219
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: minutes as I'm like, Okay, nice cover that by the Sons.

220
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: That was a dumb pick by me and Trey. No

221
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: they end up covering.

222
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: But anyway, Yeah, it was a very impressive performance from

223
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 5: the Suns, and they had the wrist advantage going in.

224
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 5: Try to mention the four or five knots. And also

225
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 5: you saw and against Philadelphia as well. Fucci. Okay, offensively

226
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 5: he can sort of spread out a little bit, but

227
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: defensively he looked really out class last night because you

228
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 5: can throw those lobs to weight and then Javeil comes in.

229
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 5: He's a long guy as well. I really like though

230
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 5: Adam and Mian. I've got to give him so much

231
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: respect because when Javal McGee stepped into that three, he

232
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 5: knew his career three pointers made and attempted. In that moment,

233
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 5: he's carrying around Javal McGee's career three point mates in

234
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 5: his head.

235
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: You might have it in front of him that moment.

236
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: You can't be like, oh, he's going to shoot a three.

237
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 5: I've got to quickly check on Basketball Reference. So that

238
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 5: was just mind blowing to me.

239
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 6: Somebody doing some Prepparich.

240
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: Who's prepping Javail McGee's career three point shooting anyway. And

241
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 5: the other thing was Devin Booker hit a nine three

242
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: and he left a hanging and he said a real

243
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: Sidney Dean looked there from Devin Booker, So he had

244
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,359
Speaker 5: an all going last night. But yeah, when it's a

245
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 5: technically a blowout, I guess you've got to find other

246
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 5: things to talk about. But yeah, it was super impressive

247
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 5: here from Phoenix. You know, they obviously don't care about

248
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 5: the cover. They just got a very good win against

249
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 5: the good team.

250
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in our forty three and ten tasks. The

251
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: Phoenix Sun still the best team in the league, like

252
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: I said.

253
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: Yes, and still not the NBA favorite to win the championship.

254
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: Don't gamble, Well, put some.

255
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 6: Money on the Sunts.

256
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: Don't gamble when you're This is a case in point

257
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: in this basketball game, which was crazy the six and

258
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: a half point line at the end of the game,

259
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: the Sons just kind of got out of the way.

260
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: They obviously had their bench players on and they just

261
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: did the math. They didn't foul or anything. They just knew, Okay,

262
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: this team, the balls are gonna hit a three or

263
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: two every possession. We still can't lose, no fouling, no

264
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: worries as but they covered obviously, so don't gamble. Also,

265
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: you know the Sons are still third or fourth favorites,

266
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 3: whatever they are. I saw a plus fifteen hundred out

267
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: there for the Sun. Wow, it is a little crazy

268
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: for us watching this team at forty three and ten,

269
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: and you look at every other team out there that

270
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 3: has some issues, every team in the Eastern Conference. There's

271
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: a hole in every team in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors'

272
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: injuries will get to those. There's a couple there that

273
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: are minor. The Suns are extremely how healthy. It's a

274
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: little bit of a flashback to last year when they

275
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: were the healthier bunch going up against every team that

276
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: they played against. So there isn't a lot of money

277
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 3: on the Suns, I suppose because they don't have that

278
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 3: star power for whatever reason. Maybe it's because it's the

279
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: point in the season where people don't bet on bet

280
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: on their championship favorites quite yet. Whatever the reason, it's

281
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: some good odds, some real good odds out there.

282
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 6: But don't gamble.

283
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: You talked about Suns fans maybe being upset that mckail

284
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: bridges wasn't the injury replacement for Dremont Green. What they

285
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: should really be upset with is you for not having

286
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: Cam Johnson on your three point team. Uh, you know

287
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: part of the field there that we'll see at All

288
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: Star weekend because he had you know, another two for

289
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: five last night. This guy is like one of the

290
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: leaders when it comes to three point efficiency. And he

291
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: takes enough too. It's not like we're taking like one

292
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: or two a.

293
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: Game, man, and two and a half a game. Yeah,

294
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 5: get him in.

295
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 6: There to lot star powers.

296
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: He was Kelly Junior over.

297
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: Eight from three last night.

298
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 5: What the lefties coming at me saying?

299
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: Oh, you know.

300
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: Our next game from last night? Siaka? Yeah, he should

301
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 2: be an All Star too. And the Raptors beat the

302
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: Hornets won sixteen to one oh one for their sixth

303
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: straight victory. Task would you take away from this one?

304
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: So you tweeting about it? Skates who says the Raptors

305
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 3: can't win this thing? They're in six now, they're four

306
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: and a half out of first again, a lot of

307
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: question marks with the least Eastern Conference teams.

308
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 6: Pascal Sia you mentioned him.

309
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 5: This guy's on fire.

310
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it's easy to forget because of

311
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: the wild two years that the Raptors have had since

312
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: they won the championship. That this guy was a big

313
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: time player in the championship team along with Fred van Vliet.

314
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: And I say that because when they played the Hornets yesterday,

315
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: every time the Hornets were looking to push, the Raptors

316
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: just shut the door. And that's the championship team. And

317
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 3: those two guys were leaders on that team. And I

318
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: know Fred's in a totally different role with Kyle Lowry

319
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: was his obviously the guy in front of him, But

320
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 3: he's learned so much. Pascal looks like he's learned so much.

321
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: Those two guys, along with Gary trent O g Ananobi

322
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: had over twenty points in this game. Four guys over

323
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 3: twenty for the fourth time this season. Hasn't happened a

324
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: lot in Raptors history. Two was the most in a

325
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: season for four guys to score twenty points.

326
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 6: So they are doing it together. They are quite the ensemble.

327
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: And those dudes, those four guys, if you add to that,

328
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: if you add to that at the trade deadline, we'll

329
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: get to the Raptors possibilities of making a trade a

330
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: little bit later on. They get a fifth, they get

331
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: a sixth guy off the bench, who knows what happens

332
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: in this Eastern Conference, because it's it's looking like it's

333
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: anybody's game in the Eastern Conference.

334
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 6: Right now.

335
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: You brought up trades Lee turning his computer to me

336
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: to show me we might have some breaking news here.

337
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: What's the deal here?

338
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: According to Worris, the Blazes and the Pelicans are in

339
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 5: serious discussions on a trade. Send it on c J McCollum.

340
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: I know, man, I'm just saying the C McCollum park. Yeah,

341
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: of course, of course.

342
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: Of course.

343
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: People are like, we got a semi WOJE bomb. Yeah,

344
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: the teams are talking during trendadline.

345
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 5: Sorry, so okay, there's been an update already. Shams has

346
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 5: got it. He's saying they're finalizing a deal to acquire

347
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 5: c J. McCollum to the Pelicans for Josh Hart and

348
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 5: draft company.

349
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: The Pelicans really passive they already have all Right, this

350
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: is fun. Maybe we can talk about that a little

351
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: bit later in the show. We'll go back to the games.

352
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: Anything from the Raptor's victory or the Hornets. Did you

353
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: watch this one?

354
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: Yes?

355
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: I did? The Raptors again. That that's you talk about it?

356
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 5: Their five best. We can hang with anyway we can.

357
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 5: And and again Sam is just on it.

358
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 7: He is.

359
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 5: I don't know what he did, but in the recent times,

360
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 5: he's just been playing so much better. He's so confident

361
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: with the ball, which I think was just missing from

362
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: his game for a long time.

363
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: And they're saying you're the playmaker exactly. It's basically the point.

364
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 5: Going into the he's going into the paint, he's getting

365
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: to his body, shooting with confidence, He's got all that

366
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 5: sort of stuff that it's like, where was that for

367
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 5: a good season or so? There The only minor sort

368
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 5: of quibble I guess I'll have is they got nineteen

369
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: minutes out of Bouchet fifty from a tour and Banton played.

370
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 5: I just hope that the heavy minutes on the starters

371
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: doesn't catch up with them at some point. It may,

372
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 5: but listen, they got to win games. They've got to

373
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 5: solidify their place in the playoffs, and they're doing that

374
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 5: right now. And astas mentioned, the Hornets sort of threw

375
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 5: a few punches there, but every time they did, the

376
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: Raptors came back and basically just extended it out to

377
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: that sort of double digit area and just kept it

378
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: out or Rich and Eric Collins Man, he's a fun listen.

379
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 5: You could just feel it in his voice. He's like, man,

380
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 5: can't get these guys tonight. Is that a big so yeah,

381
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 5: fun game.

382
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: Hornets were sloppy with the ball. Again, A lot of

383
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: that is the Raptor's defense, but they also lost Gordon

384
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: Hayward in like the first five or six minutes of

385
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: this game. Did you see that? By the way, Hereward

386
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: goes down under the basket and instead of the Hornet's

387
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: probably calling a time out because your guy is underneath

388
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: the net like in quite a bit of pain. They

389
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: go the other way thinking they're going to take advantage

390
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: of four on five basketball. I don't know why, and

391
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: then Raptor's gonna stop. They come the other way and

392
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: Garry try and Junior ends up scoring and actually lambs

393
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: again on Gordon Hayward. Have no idea if it actually

394
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: made it any worse, but ankle injury didn't return. LaMelo

395
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: tried to take a foul. I think even Gary Trent

396
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: Junior tried to take a foul at one point, and

397
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: the rest were just letting them play. But you got

398
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: to call a time out there. Berga I'm sorry. It's

399
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 2: so early in the game too. It's like there's nothing

400
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: to be gained again playing four on five going to

401
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: the way. It's just really strange. And hopefully Hayward's okay,

402
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: but that's a bad loss in this game and be

403
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: a brutal loss for the Hornets moving forward if he's

404
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: out for any extended time here.

405
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. I mean this team, the Hornets have zero

406
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: interest in playing defense, and I mean that's like, you're

407
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 4: never gonna win a comeback if you can't play defense. Yeah,

408
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 4: you gotta get stops to be able to actually pull

409
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: off the comebacks. Same thing that basically happened with the Bulls,

410
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: right It's like they were scoring, but they couldn't stop

411
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 4: the Suns from scoring. And that's the case with the

412
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 4: Hornets right now. It's very weird to see James Barregos

413
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: say postgame, our offense will be better when our defense

414
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: picks up. What defense? Literally, what defense? No, they don't

415
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: have a big guy who can stop anybody. LaMelo is

416
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: not interested on that end, and Terry Rozier is a

417
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 4: small guy, so they just are not going to be

418
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 4: able to put together a defense, which you know that's

419
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 4: why every game kind of feels like a pickup game

420
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 4: when they're playing. Fun to watch, but not a serious

421
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: team right now, I don't think.

422
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 3: He's wonderful, but the other team is wonderful to watch.

423
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: I just watching Pascal, Yeah, grow into what he was before.

424
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: I mean, he was a great player two years ago. Everybody,

425
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: not everybody, but a lot of people gave up on him.

426
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: That was a flash in the band. He's back to

427
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: being incredible and taking so much pressure off Fred. Yeah,

428
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: because Fred had to do everything on that offense. Now

429
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: Pascal is back and now they're sharing the duties. And

430
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 3: then Og is a third guy all of a sudden,

431
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: and he's very good at that. And Gary Trent can

432
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: come off any pick and fire away. He's very good

433
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: at that. Then you got a rook in the fifth

434
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: spot in Scottie Barnes, which is fun. But you know,

435
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: if we're going to make a real run, we were

436
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: gonna make a.

437
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 6: Real run, maybe you need another one.

438
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: Maybe you need another vet in there to to pay

439
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: off at Chris Bouchet is playing really, really well and

440
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: they are playing more minutes off the bench, and so

441
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: that's that's helped out.

442
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 4: I would say the problem for the Raptors is going

443
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 4: to be when other teams start playing their players forty

444
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 4: minutes a night, Yeah, in the playoffs, because that's such

445
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: an advantage for the Raptors. When you look up and

446
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: you're like, Okay, we've got se three guys off the

447
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 4: bench playing for the opponents for the Hornets, and then

448
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 4: you look and it's like four Raptors starters. They should

449
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: win every one of those minutes, so they do. Eventually

450
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 4: they're gonna be playing against other starters and the bench,

451
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 4: So that will be the question for the Raptors. Can

452
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 4: their starters keep balling against other.

453
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: Starters and then they are playing like it's the playoffs

454
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: for sure?

455
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

456
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: And then two teams, specifically in the Eastern Conference, what

457
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: happens when Siakam picks up two quick fouls against Embiid

458
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: or Giannis, you know, like that's found to happen in

459
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: a playoff game.

460
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 4: Those two giant guys are a problem for almost a Yeah.

461
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: But with the Raptors starting five, like you can almost

462
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: like pencil the mint task. It feels like for like

463
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: eighty to ninety points every game from their starting five

464
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: because these guys, like it's like you know Van Vliet

465
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: siakam Ogi you said it, Gary, he's on fire. You

466
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 2: know that's eighty right there. Barnes is good for fifteen

467
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen. You know, it's like you're adding up

468
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: a lot of points there, and then they play defense.

469
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: Just caudn't they get those contributions off the bench. And

470
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: Bouschet has been good, I said.

471
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: But only Kem Oak, not Kem Burch was three inches taller.

472
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, doesn't mean we can flatch the table. Yeah,

473
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: all right, the other games here, I want to fly

474
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: through this because I want to get to the McCollum

475
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: trade here and then all this other stuff with the

476
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: buyers and sellers at the deadline. Clay Thompson twenty one

477
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: points late threes lead the Warriors past the thunder the Worries.

478
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 5: It won nine in a row. Yeah, probably the quietest

479
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 5: sort of nine game win streak was seen this season.

480
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 5: But yeah, Clay Thompson hits and threes late, sort of

481
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: almost like that that game in twenty sixteen where Clay's

482
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 5: hitting those daggers lad he's walking in as he's knocking

483
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 5: down the three, leaving it hanging here, sort of just

484
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 5: fend it off. The Thunder. The Thunder kept it closed.

485
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 5: Doughty had a great put back there late, but Steph

486
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 5: Curry also hit a deep three late to really just

487
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 5: extend this one. Pretty good effort from the Thunder, but

488
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: never really felt like that we're going to win this one.

489
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: I don't like you.

490
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: Adding a Y to dort I really don't. I gotta

491
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 2: say it, Brad Dorty, I mean, yeah, Chris Warte Dorty.

492
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: I can't help.

493
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 5: But Doughty, he's got like the best name as it is,

494
00:20:59,359 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 5: dorrit Lit.

495
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: No, it's perfect. You don't need a wy on that one.

496
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: You added to everything. Yeah, Clay, pretty special there night

497
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: in a row. It has gone a little under the radar.

498
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just because the Suns are still winning to

499
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: a majority of their games and the Warriors are like

500
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: just still like that couple games back from them. I

501
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. I haven't been paying all

502
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: that close attention. I gotta be honest.

503
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't have Draymond Green right now, so it's

504
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 4: pretty weird to see the Warriors stretching out this win streak.

505
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 7: Here.

506
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: He's there, obviously their best defensive player. He kind of

507
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 4: organizes everything on that end, and he makes things a

508
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: lot easier for Stephan Curry as well. He's such a

509
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: great passer offensively, so it's been cool to see Steph

510
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: kind of change his game midway through the season. Once

511
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 4: Draymond went out. He's been a lot more of a playmaker.

512
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: He was like thirty points per game up until Draymond,

513
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: you know, like thirty points five assists a game up

514
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 4: until Draymond went out. Since then, it's like twenty three

515
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: and nine. That's two different styles of play right there,

516
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 4: but obviously both very effective. As for Dort, there's gonna

517
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 4: be another Dort in the NBA pretty soon. There's a

518
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 4: Lee Dort, Lee and Dort can't wait. I also think

519
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: it's funny Lee that you bring up Klay Thompson game

520
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: from obviously twenty sixteen. Well that was a game seven,

521
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 4: right where Game six? Yeah, Game six everybody was bringing

522
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: up on Twitter last night, so Clay got asked about

523
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: it afterwards in post game. He's like, yeah, I didn't

524
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: think about that. That was a long time ago. I

525
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 4: didn't think about that at all, but it's a very

526
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 4: treasured memory.

527
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, captain. All Right, two other games. Anything

528
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 2: to add to that one to the Warriors went well.

529
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: There was that possession where the Thunder got five offensive rebounds,

530
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: and it showed that the Warriors have some size problems,

531
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 3: especially without Draymond Green in there. And maybe maybe, maybe

532
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 3: maybe they make a move for a big afterward, because

533
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: Andre Goodola came back in this game off their bench

534
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: after missing eight games, and he went out with the

535
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 3: back problem. Draymond Green's got back issues.

536
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 6: So maybe we'll get to it.

537
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: We'll get to we'll get to possible trade partners for

538
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 3: that because they are tiny, you know, Draymond Green is undersized.

539
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: Kewon Looney has been great, but they don't really have

540
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: a backup center. So maybe they make a move, but

541
00:22:59,520 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 3: probably not.

542
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: We'll talk about bim otebio. Jimmy Butler lead the Heat

543
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: to the one twenty one to one hundred win over

544
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: the Wizards. Blowout Washington, blow them up.

545
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, exactly twenty nine other gms. Take a

546
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 3: look at that Wizard's roster. Vet after vet after vett

547
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 3: to help you on your team right here, right now,

548
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: there's so many Contavious Caldwell Pope Champ starter on that

549
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: Lakers team led them in three pointers that playoff run,

550
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: which is wild to think about. Kuzma. He did some

551
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: things on that team as well, winning the championship. Aaron

552
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 3: Holidays Ski to like Aaron Holliday.

553
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: Oh you like Justin Hollidays.

554
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 6: You like all the holidays.

555
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 3: Maybe you can fool another GM to thinking you're trading

556
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 3: for Justin Holiday at Aaron Holiday. Spencer, Dinwiddie, he knows

557
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 3: the future.

558
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: I don't know.

559
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 6: They got guys. They have guys on that team that

560
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 6: you can trade for.

561
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: So there's do you think everybody's basically available?

562
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, which there's gotta be some guys who aren't. The

563
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: youngs are all I guess they're all available. Ruey and

564
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: Denny come by the first name.

565
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 4: Gafford's untouchable.

566
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: Don't touch Garet.

567
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 5: I mean it was a one man promising season. The Wizards,

568
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 5: I think had hopes on finishing that top six and

569
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: now they're outside of the planes and only by a

570
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 5: game to the Atlanta Hawks. But I guess they have

571
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: to pick her out as well. Here are they saying,

572
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 5: all right, let's see if we can get something from Jews,

573
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 5: And you know, I believe as well. I saw on

574
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 5: Twitter last night I think was Chase Hughes, who had

575
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: it first. Bradley Beal's management was apparently meeting with the

576
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 5: Wizards front office. Does that mean anything? We'll find out,

577
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 5: I guess in the next forty eight hours. I doubt it.

578
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: I don't think he's getting traded such with such and

579
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 5: short notice. But obviously if the Wizards that, they may

580
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 5: as well cash in something they've got right now, because

581
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 5: they look like they were going to be a surprise

582
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: team this season, and they were, but it's really fallen

583
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 5: off recently.

584
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: And I forgot to slip this in the other day.

585
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: I guess it was yesterday that Eric Spolstra and the

586
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: Miami Heat coaching staff will be coaching Kevin Durance team

587
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: during the All Star Again, it was the Bull, the

588
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 2: Bull's last say. I sealed the deal the other night

589
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: against the Sexers on Sunday. If I have that's right,

590
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: there you go.

591
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: I got Kevin Durant's gonna be coaching too. I guess

592
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 3: he's not playing. Does he have to sit on the

593
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 3: sideline and.

594
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: He should.

595
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 4: He should ditch out, he should go on vacation somewhere else,

596
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 4: draft and say I will catch you in the streams.

597
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we'll see what he does. But he is

598
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: a basketball sicico.

599
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: He really is. So that guy, that guy basketball would

600
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 4: love to be around. Uh, the balls bouncing on the

601
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: court there and just uh.

602
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: You know, with the heat Lowry as I see Lowry bag,

603
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 2: he's playing thirty minutes a game, you know, doing Lowry

604
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 2: things there. Just efficient numbers, you know, not lighting up

605
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: the box score by any means, but just being the

606
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: table setter there for the name. He obviously a great team.

607
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: They were good without him, They were good without like

608
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: all of their guys up at points this year. And

609
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: now well here you have Bam, you got Jimmy, you

610
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: got Kyle obviously, Duncan Robinson's got it going a little bit.

611
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: He hit four threes last night and then p J.

612
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: Tucker as you're starting five there. Yeah, this is gonna

613
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: be a tough, tough team to be.

614
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think it is huge for them to

615
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 5: have Lowry even though he's a little bit older, because

616
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 5: guys can fill in, but no one can sort of

617
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 5: set them up the way that he does consistently so defensively. Still, yeah,

618
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 5: so he may not be their best player, you know,

619
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 5: maybe is Jimmy or Bam whoever you want to choose

620
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 5: out of those two. But is as far as getting

621
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 5: them going. I think he is such a critical piece

622
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 5: for them, especially in the playoffs. I mean, Lowry has

623
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 5: delivered in the playoffs. He had a bit of a

624
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: rough start there with Toronto, but by the end of

625
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: his time there was he was legit stud and they

626
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 5: need that guy. They need him because they just look

627
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 5: completely different.

628
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: I think without him you should add a wide at

629
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: Lowry's Kyler.

630
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 7: Or that.

631
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: The final game from last night, Donovan Mitchell nets thirty

632
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: two points as the Jazz rally passed the Knicks for

633
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: their third straight victory. Nice to see Donovan Mitchell sort

634
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: of back here, and this was his second game back

635
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: from concussion protocols. He had missed a lot of time.

636
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: He was awesome thirty two seven six also at four steals.

637
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 2: Played a lot of minutes. He looked tired by the nimitty.

638
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 2: He said he was the play of the game though

639
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: an offensive rebound from Donovan Mitchell. This was huge. The

640
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: Jazz were up one with him four minutes to Donovan

641
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: made a nice pass like leaping sort of over the

642
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: top skip pass to Mike Conley on the other side.

643
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: He lets the three go, he misses it, and Donovan,

644
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: because he's on the other side of the course though,

645
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: where he passed it from, just leaps over Mitchell Robinson,

646
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: who I mean, who's obviously a great rebounder and was

647
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: a great rebounder in this game. And we'll get to

648
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: that footage in a second, but Mitchell just straight up

649
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: jumped over them, grabbed it and then had the wherewithal

650
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: right away to find Azubuki just underneath underneath the rim

651
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: for a quick score, and he just like stealed the deal.

652
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell did, and I thought that Nick's had chances too.

653
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 2: They're missing free throws, bad turnovers, an abysmal fourth quarter

654
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: for being honest for New York. They went five of

655
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: twenty in the final twelve minutes and committed six turnovers.

656
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: So they're now twenty four and thirty on the season

657
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: and they're zero and two here on this little road

658
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: trip as we get to the All Star break. But

659
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: it's just like, oh yeah, the Jazz are awesome. When

660
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell plays, they're just as such a course, such

661
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: a better team. And this is still without Rudy, So yeah,

662
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: I used to have them sort of like they're gonna

663
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: get their back here and they're going to be, you know,

664
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: a title contender. I think they'll be in the mes.

665
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they have to be, because we just

666
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 5: know this team and we know that they're a good

667
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 5: defensive team. They're a very good offensive team. But they

668
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 5: have really dropped with those two guys out right now,

669
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 5: they do sit forth still two and a half games

670
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 5: back to the Grizzly, So will they have that little

671
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 5: second half surche I mean, can the Grizzlies keep up

672
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 5: this as well? Like for everything they've done so far

673
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 5: has been great, but that closed stretch of the season

674
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: is going to be tough because the experienced team of

675
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 5: the Jazz, you just feel, are going to be better.

676
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 5: They're going to sort of correct their issues and again

677
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 5: when everybody's healthy. Obviously Jingles has gone for the season

678
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 5: for them, But I think when Rudy's back and Donovan

679
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 5: playing at this level, then the Jazz would certainly like

680
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: to get up into that top three.

681
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: The best offense in the league right now, but the

682
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: defense without Rudy being there for last sweat seven games

683
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: or seven games, you know, they've fallen down to thirteenth.

684
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: That hasn't been that great on that end, so they'll

685
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: try and get that up to top ten.

686
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they got helped out by a man named

687
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: Udoka Azubookie. It's great to have another as a boot

688
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: in the league. Kilena was good. Udoka is a great name.

689
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: Three straight games double digit rebounds. He had fourteen boards

690
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 3: to help out. So yeah, they're showing up the go

691
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: bear absence right now. I thought the play of the

692
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: game though, was Julius Randold not shooting the ball with

693
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: one ten left off those that's really open. Look, it's

694
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: just the knicks are I don't know. I don't know

695
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen the next forty hours. Because our man

696
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: Fred Katz at the Athletic points out the next like

697
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: thirteen games on their schedule, they are probably the underdog

698
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: in for most of them, like twelve to the next thirteen.

699
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 3: So it's a little scary what's gonna happen to that team.

700
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, you gotta believe in the Jazz. And it

701
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: was great to hear Joe Ingles on the call. He

702
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: was in the in the booth. He's got a future

703
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: as it talk at he talk one of them. It

704
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: was one of us as one of us talking heads

705
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: if he wants it, I don't know. He doesn't seem

706
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: like he really cares to be just he's just like,

707
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's.

708
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: Got better things to do, right right sort of Clay

709
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: Like Clay's like, I'll do it every once in a while.

710
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: He's great out. I don't want to do this every day.

711
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 5: He's a big coffee drinker. Joe and I saw on

712
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 5: Twitter people saying, well, no, you got time right at

713
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 5: you start your own shop, broast your own beans, and

714
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 5: he's like, maybe I will.

715
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: So maybe that's but he said he's not retiring.

716
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 5: No, yeah, yeah. In fact, there was an article with

717
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 5: Tim mc mannon if you guys saw it, but he

718
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 5: basically said, like people thought I did, I was dead

719
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 5: after the injury, Like I'm going to come back and

720
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 5: I'm going to be stronger and I hope to continue

721
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: playing in the NBA.

722
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: Had all those beans coursing through, I said, Donovan Mitchell

723
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: had a huge offensive rebound late.

724
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 5: Which you did.

725
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 3: Uh it was.

726
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: It was an awesome, awesome board and then like I said,

727
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: a little pass. But Mitchell Robinson, uh put on a

728
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: show at least when it comes to the big beef thirty.

729
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. Big games for both Mitchell's Donovan and Robinson.

730
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 4: Jd roll that beautiful beef footage.

731
00:30:46,600 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 7: Mitchell Robinson had twenty one rebounds. That's a lot of

732
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 7: roast beef, which is being bud.

733
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the double being bong. Twenty one boards for Mitchell Robinson,

734
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: his second big beef of his career. Do you remember

735
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: his first one?

736
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 6: Oh?

737
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 4: It was like first year, first year rookie year against the.

738
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 2: Raptors, Toronto Raptors.

739
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't know that.

740
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, twenty rebounds, that's good. This guy's The

741
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: Nicks missed a lot of shots. Ten of those were

742
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 4: offensive rebounds. They need a point guard, basically, they need

743
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 4: somebody who can handle the ball because when you have

744
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: more turnovers than shots made in the fourth quarter, that's

745
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 4: not good. But this is an impressive beef because those

746
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: are some huge dudes out there. I love that a

747
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: lot of teams like to have a variety in their centers.

748
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: Right.

749
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,479
Speaker 4: They're like, we'll have our huge guy, and then we'll

750
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: have our quick guy, and them all have our shooting guy.

751
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 4: The Jazz are like, we've got Rudy Gobert, so we're

752
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 4: getting two more Rudy Gobert and as a boogie. They're like,

753
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 4: we'll just find the biggest guys we can and it

754
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 4: works for him. So yeah, Robinson was battling down there.

755
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 4: If that's a big guy. He looks like the most

756
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 4: tired dude of all time when he's playing, but he

757
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 4: plays hard and he was getting happy. He a little

758
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,239
Speaker 4: tired when he clanked.

759
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: Two free throws. That was like a three point game.

760
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 5: The bad he's got the old sort of a knucklebole.

761
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: Three points there like just sort of goes flat right right,

762
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 5: it goes in. But he's conditioning is something that Nicks

763
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: have been trying to work on with him because he's

764
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: a young, young guy. He shouldn't be so gassed as

765
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 5: often as he is because I think he's very important

766
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 5: to what they do, just his presence. But he's got

767
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 5: to be able to stay on the court and be

768
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 5: contributing the whole game.

769
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our first break. When we come back,

770
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: we'll get to this breaking news with c J McCollum.

771
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 2: Maybe I guess headed to the Pelicans for Josh Hart

772
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: and draft competitions, and then we'll look at other teams,

773
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: specially the elite teams in both conferences and decide whether

774
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: or not they'll be buyers or sellers. Here in the

775
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: forty eight hours leading up to the trade deadline. Okay, well,

776
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: let's get to the reported deal here, Sham Sharanya of

777
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: the Athletics saying the Pelicans are finalizing a trade to

778
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: acquire Blazer's guard CJ McCollum for a package around Josh

779
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: Hart and draft compensation. I don't know if there's any

780
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: tweets following that, but that's what I have task. So

781
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: I throw it at you heart and some sort of

782
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: draft picks to the Blazers in exchange for CJ McCollum.

783
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 3: What do you think this has to mean that Damian

784
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 3: Lillard is next to me.

785
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 6: This has to be a full teardown.

786
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: It has to be Damian Lillard a few weeks ago

787
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: was talking about not wanting to come back to the

788
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: Blazers this season if they're playing for a draft pick.

789
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 3: They just traded their two best players beside him, no

790
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: disrespect to use of Nurkic, but they just traded Norman

791
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: Powell and they just traded CJ.

792
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 6: McCollum. This has to mean a full tear down.

793
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: And for the Blazers, I'm sure they're looking at this

794
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 3: trade and thinking, couldn't we get more. I'm not sure

795
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 3: of the actual the draft compensation coming back, but it

796
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 3: feels a lot like the Orlando Magic scenario last year

797
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 3: where they traded Aaron Gordon, they traded Vucevic, they let

798
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: go Foignier and yes, it hasn't been a fruitful season

799
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: for the Orlando Magic, but they got a lot of picks.

800
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: And if that's the scenario for the Portland Trailblazers in

801
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 3: addition to what I think they're going to get for

802
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard, I don't know if you guys agree, but

803
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 3: they have to be trading Dame.

804
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 4: Why exactly why?

805
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 3: Because he's not going to want to be there. He's

806
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: thirty two. What kind of team are they going to

807
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 3: have around Dame for the next few years.

808
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 4: I think he wants to be there to get that

809
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 4: huge contract. I think that that's Damian Lili will stick

810
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 4: around until he signs that gigantic super duper max after

811
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 4: being a ten year veteran, and then that's when we'll

812
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 4: be talking about trades. Woja's reporting there's optimism a deal

813
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: will be completed, perhaps as soon as today, but there's

814
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 4: still work to be done to reach an agreement. So

815
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 4: we shall see what these draft picks are.

816
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they're saying here.

817
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many?

818
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 4: And yeah, Repelicans have a ton of pecks to trade

819
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 4: from the Jiu Holiday trade, from the Anthony Damas trade,

820
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 4: so they've got a lot of stuff to throw into

821
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 4: the mes here. So I agree that. I mean, the

822
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 4: team's not going to be as good. Damian Lillard is

823
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 4: not going to come back this year. The Blazers are

824
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 4: going to try for a top five pick, and then

825
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 4: maybe you can take your top five pick alongside whatever

826
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 4: they're getting from the Pelicans, and then you make a

827
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 4: move to bring in a veteran alongside Damian Lillard. I

828
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 4: don't think it's necessarily the end, but you can definitely

829
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 4: see a pathway towards.

830
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: What do you think?

831
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just trying to look at some of the

832
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 5: most salivating picks that the Blazers might want here, and

833
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 5: according to this to Pro Sports Transactions, you know there's

834
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 5: an unprotected pick from the Lakers in twenty twenty two there,

835
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 5: So you know, I would say the Blazers are saying

836
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 5: we want that, we want unprotected probably multiple first as well.

837
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 5: With c J. McCain would think, so, yeah, he's got

838
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 5: two years left at about sixty eight million on his contract.

839
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 5: He's still a you know, he's an all star fringe

840
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 5: player at his best, no doubt about it. So you

841
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 5: would have to think for me, the Blazers are saying, yeah,

842
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 5: we want all this draft sets because that's our direction.

843
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 5: And whether or not they choose to move on from

844
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 5: Damien Little, we'll obviously find out. But I think they

845
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 5: have chosen a path. They've gotten away from the norm

846
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 5: Power contract. They got a you know, a default draft

847
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 5: pick out of that. But really I think they're just

848
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 5: trying to acquire all those and start the rebuilt. That's

849
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 5: what it would seem like to me. It's just whether

850
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 5: or not the Pelicans are prepared to give up an

851
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 5: unprotected pick, which you would think they would probably want

852
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 5: to hang on to. They would want others. You would

853
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 5: think that have got not quite as potentially valuable because

854
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 5: if it's unprotected, of course that could be the number

855
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 5: One pick and you don't want to give up that.

856
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, last year the Magic were able to get an

857
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: unprotected pick from the Balls and then a top four protected,

858
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: you know, for a Vooche, that seems to be that's

859
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: always the benchmark when people talk about trades this year,

860
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 3: that's what every GM is striving for. A couple of

861
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: those picks, and you never get to get two unprotected,

862
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 3: but if one is unprotected, they end up getting Franz

863
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: Wagner with one of those picks, and then the top

864
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 3: four down the lane. That's probably what they're yearning for.

865
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 3: And that's not that's not bad. It's not bad if

866
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 3: they can get that.

867
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: For CJ McCall, we understand, I mean we think we

868
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: understand what the Blazers are doing here, which is like,

869
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 2: be bad this season at the very least, then figure

870
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: out what the hell you're doing with Damian Lillard uh

871
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: sid interest. But what about the Pelican side of things here?

872
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 2: I mean they're getting a guy. I mean, Colum has

873
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: not had a great year, but this is a guy

874
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 2: that we had on the on the All Star snubs

875
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: list for like three years running. Injuries was a big

876
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: part of it. That the one year that he didn't

877
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: make it, I think he was averaging like twenty three

878
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: twenty four game. But the Pelicans, you know, in the

879
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: play in here, tasks Ingram balling out. They're they're seeing

880
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: what just an opportunity to strike here and get like

881
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: some scoring in the in the back court to then

882
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: hopefully add Zion Williamson at some point this season and

883
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: you maybe have yourself a decent little squad.

884
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 5: What do you think?

885
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, glass half full? You're playing with Brandon Ingram, c

886
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 3: J McCollums, Ion Williamson yondas yeah, yeah yeah still there.

887
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Herb Jones her last member of their starting lineup

888
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: according to status.

889
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 3: Are they going for too soon? Is the question? With

890
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 3: you know, an older player. It's a move that David

891
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: Griffin is, I guess needs to do around around Zion

892
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: Williamson to make him happy with the way that this

893
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 3: first six months of the season has gone. I expect

894
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 3: Zion to come back and then this is a legitimately

895
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 3: a solid team for sure. What's c McCollum there?

896
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: What do you think about New Orleans?

897
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 5: I think adding another guy who can score like that

898
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 5: is important because it's otherwise it is a Devonte Graham

899
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 5: or a Herb or a Alexander Walker. You know, no,

900
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 5: we're near as convincing. Is someone like CJ who can

901
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 5: take a little bit of the way off brandon Ingram,

902
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 5: and I think it is also just an indication to Zion,

903
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 5: like we aren't trying to tank. We are trying to compete.

904
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 5: We're trying to get at least some show you that,

905
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 5: like we're trying to get into the playing tournament, maybe

906
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 5: the playoffs this season. Whether or not Zion plays or not,

907
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 5: I think it's more important to show him that we're

908
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 5: not just sort of letting this season fall away. So

909
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 5: I think it'd be a good move. I said at

910
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 5: the start of the season, I thought it was a lost,

911
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 5: completely lost season here for the Pelicans, but they really

912
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 5: have shown some resistance to get into this position they're

913
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 5: in now, and when you consider the teams below them

914
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 5: in the standings, they should feel that the playing to

915
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 5: ONAM is absolutely in play here for them.

916
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: I guess, I guess if you look at it, if

917
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 3: Zion wants is coming back, okay, okay, this feels good.

918
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 3: We got CJ. Mccolloughs in our lineup. But if Zion

919
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: is on some trajectory where he's not coming back this

920
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 3: season and you don't know what kind of Zion you're getting,

921
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 3: then you're giving up draft picks for sort of being

922
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 3: a mediocre team in the short term, I guess, But

923
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 3: I guess this means that they really believe Zion's coming back,

924
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 3: and that seems to be the vibe around the team.

925
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 4: Well, even if he doesn't come back this year, he

926
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 4: should be back for next season. So with an entire

927
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 4: year of rest, and the Pelicans might make the play

928
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 4: in tournament even if Zion doesn't come back. They've been

929
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 4: good nineteen and nineteen since that terrible one in twelve.

930
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 4: Start brandon Ingram. You're starting to see them. Was this

931
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 4: guy snubbed for the All Star replacement cases? Yeah, on

932
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 4: the on the internet there, so yeah, I think this

933
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 4: actually helps. McCollum has been I'm knocking on the door

934
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 4: of the All Star He's gonna be one of those

935
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: guys that we're always talking about. Is he one of

936
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 4: the greatest to never make an All Star Game? I

937
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 4: think that's gonna be the case. But he's certainly gonna

938
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 4: be helpful Ingram, Valanciunas and CJ McCollum. All three of

939
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 4: those guys completely different games but also very similar in

940
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 4: that they're gonna take up a lot of possessions. They're

941
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 4: gonna shoot the ball almost every time they touch it,

942
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 4: but that helps. So the Pelicans are gonna be able

943
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 4: to make the playoffs here, and then next season you've

944
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: got a decent little core there in Ingram Valanciunas's Zion

945
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 4: and now CJ. McCollum. They've got the third lowest payroll

946
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 4: in the league this year, They've got all these picks

947
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 4: left over. This is a pretty smart move, especially because

948
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 4: McCollum's contract ends the same season as Zion's, when you're

949
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 4: gonna need a lot of money coming off the books,

950
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 4: so you can sign them to as an extension.

951
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: Would there have to be more players going back to

952
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: Cortland here, because you know, McCollum does make thirty million

953
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: a year and Josh Hart's like twelve thirteen.

954
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 5: So according to Shams, it is Nikolai, Alexander Wolka, and

955
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 5: Thomas Santoranski who yeah, and draft compensation. He hasn't clarified

956
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 5: exactly what that is, so okay, I'm guessing that is

957
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 5: what's the the holding it up for it to be

958
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 5: confirmed anyway.

959
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, Okay, it's a little different now with the

960
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: Nikkeil Alexander Walker being the young the young player, the

961
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 2: young prospect that has shown flash is already in the league.

962
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 2: You know, I'm on him, had him for most Improved

963
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: for Crhyino any of this Canadian of course. But okay,

964
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: so yeah Blazers. So now what this is the fascinating

965
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: part with the littler Now now they have like two

966
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 2: really young guards and him pretty Simon's and Nikill Alexander

967
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: Walker and reportedly changing. But yeah, but I have no

968
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: more players have to be going back.

969
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 3: I mean to make enough for the numbers to work. Yeah,

970
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 3: that would mean to me that this is a tear down.

971
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: That's but I'm with yesterday when they made the deal

972
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 3: for Norman Powell. I guess it was a couple of

973
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: days or was Friday now that I thought, yeah, maybe

974
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 3: this could be a quick retool draft pick room for

975
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: Norman Powell's contract that just got booted. Maybe you sign

976
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: a free agent with that, maybe retool get real bad

977
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 3: and get a draft pick. But now you're training, see McCollum,

978
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: I mean with Dame's just gonna chill and say, hmm,

979
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: I know a couple of years, Uh yeah, then will

980
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 3: be good. I doubt. I mean he's been he's been

981
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: riding this for for.

982
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 6: A long time.

983
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, well we'll find out the package that will

984
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 3: make another video.

985
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah I know.

986
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: I mean we're learning this on the fly, so apologies

987
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: maybe to people listening later or watching later, going, that's

988
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: not the deal. What the hell are you guys talking about?

989
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: As of right now we are hearing it's heart Saturansky

990
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: and then Nikhil Alexander Walker for CJ McCollum. Yes, did

991
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: you throw it in the trade machine doesn't work? That

992
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 2: would make sense contract wise, I think, and then draft

993
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 2: compensation will go into Portland as well. Okay, all right, Yeah,

994
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 2: we're going to be doing an emergency podcast somehow about

995
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 2: something we already talked about. That's a weird one, absolutely.

996
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: Because the content are going to be finalized. I would say, nah,

997
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 3: because that's Gil Alexander Walker's initials.

998
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that sucks.

999
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 6: Sucks.

1000
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1001
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 3: Is there somebody named why? Ah? Why initials?

1002
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 7: No?

1003
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 6: Because yeah, we're going to be doing another video.

1004
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,479
Speaker 2: Okay, content baby, all right, we got this new table.

1005
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: We gotta work in it. Okay, So I want to

1006
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: get to the February tenth, last day to make trades

1007
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Everybody knows that Zach Harper. He noted

1008
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: that means it's time for every team to look in

1009
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 2: the mirror, and he's absolutely right, because you got to

1010
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: decide whether you're a buyer or a seller here at

1011
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. And what does that mean? I wanted

1012
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: to break that down. Buyer to me means a team

1013
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: that feels like a piece away from like a late

1014
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 2: season turnaround to become a playoff team, to maybe be

1015
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: a title contender. Right You're looking for that one or

1016
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 2: two players to really take you to the next level,

1017
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 2: whatever that level may be. That's a buyer.

1018
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 4: Seller.

1019
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: On the other hand, like the Blazers, it's looking like

1020
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: looking towards the future, moving players in exchange for young talent,

1021
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 2: draft capital cap relief. So I thought, we're not gonna

1022
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: go through every team here. We don't have that much time,

1023
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: and now we got to make a second video. But

1024
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: it that'd be fun to just look at the elite teams,

1025
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: like the top six teams in each conference, and we

1026
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 2: can just split them up and each guy could sort

1027
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: of address it and then we can debate whether we

1028
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: agree or not. So my only two questions with each squad,

1029
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: and we'll start in the Western conference, is are they

1030
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: buyer or seller at the trade deadline in your opinion?

1031
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: And then who could they potentially move. Maybe you even

1032
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: have a deal in mind if you're if you were

1033
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: really doing your homework last night. But the main question

1034
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 2: is what are they doing buying or selling? Trey start

1035
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 2: with the Phoenix Suns.

1036
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 4: You go first, Well, you're gonna hate me, Skeets, because

1037
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if this makes them a buyer or

1038
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 4: a seller, because I think the Phoenix Suns have their team,

1039
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 4: They've got their nine man rotation, they know how they play.

1040
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 4: They're pretty much the same team as last year. Adding

1041
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: Javeail McGee. They're good, like they don't need any more pieces,

1042
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 4: but they've still got some moves they could make. The

1043
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 4: Sons currently have six centers on their roster. Yeah, DeAndre Ayton,

1044
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 4: JaVale McGee, lock them in. They'll be playing in the playoffs.

1045
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 4: Then they've got Bismack Biambo and Jalen Smith and Frank

1046
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 4: Kaminski and Dario Sarich. Kaminsky and Sarich are out right now.

1047
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 4: They've needed all four of those last guys Sarich played

1048
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 4: last year, but they're not gonna need all of them

1049
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. So to me, I would like to

1050
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 4: see them take two of those centers and flip them

1051
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 4: into a different center. How about Dario Sarich and Jalen

1052
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 4: Smith to the Spurs for Thattius Young. Yeah, Dario sarch

1053
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 4: not gonna be playing this year. Thattius Young a Dario

1054
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 4: Sarrich kind of player. He could be their small ball five.

1055
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 4: Give him a little bit different.

1056
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 5: Look.

1057
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 4: His contract expires at the end of this year. He's

1058
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 4: on a fifteen million dollar deal the Suns. Maybe they

1059
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 4: the Sons, they owe a first rounder to Okay see

1060
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 4: this summer, but they got a lot of picks they

1061
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 4: could trade, so maybe they sweeten the deal a little

1062
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 4: bit for the Spurs. I think it does make it

1063
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 4: a little tough for the Spurs to re sign Jalen Smith,

1064
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 4: so maybe they would want Frank Kaminski and then be

1065
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 4: able to trade him or wave him or something like that.

1066
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 4: But I do think that the Sons have a bunch

1067
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 4: of flotsam floating around on their payroll right now that

1068
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 4: they could turn into somebody who helps them come playoff time.

1069
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, sort of a buyer, But I hear

1070
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: what you're saying. It's sort of a neither Like you're

1071
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 2: saying like they're fine.

1072
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're fine. They don't need to make a move,

1073
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 4: but they could get a little bit better.

1074
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, Thatteus Young if you've got him on the bench, great.

1075
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 5: Thad Jack was great for Chicago, you know, facilitate. He's

1076
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 5: a veteran, he's just been around and those other guys

1077
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 5: haven't really played and so if you can show a

1078
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 5: why not. But it's really just the rich getting richer

1079
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 5: in that sense.

1080
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I know the Spurs don't like making trades, but

1081
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 3: that has to be a trade. That's a name that

1082
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: was floated a couple months ago. Then we kind of

1083
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 3: forgot about him. He's kind of like an Eric Gordon,

1084
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: you know, it does great veteran stuff. He's got to

1085
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 3: get moved. I doubt it's the Suns, because some other

1086
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 3: team will offer him maybe a little more, definitely a

1087
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 3: bigger role than the Suns have. But he's got to

1088
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 3: get moved and the Spurs are going to be forced

1089
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: to make a deal. It feels like get an asset

1090
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 3: for him.

1091
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 6: Why not?

1092
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: All right?

1093
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 2: Task the Warriors buyers or sellers or I guess neither.

1094
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: Here at the end.

1095
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a bigger need than the Phoenix Suns.

1096
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: They big is the actual word. They need a backup center,

1097
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 3: just for insurance. Draymond Green's got back problems. He is

1098
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 3: the guy that's going to play down the stretch. Of

1099
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 3: course at the four, Kevon Looney has been incredibble for

1100
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: them starting, but James Wiseman has not played a minute

1101
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 3: this year, and if he was there then there would

1102
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: be no issue. I think if he got some reps in,

1103
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 3: But it's looking a little bit more unlikely he's going

1104
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 3: to contribute to a playoff team whether he comes back

1105
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 3: or not. They would love three time NBA champion JaVale

1106
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: McGee on their roster this season. They would just love

1107
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 3: to have him there. But I don't see them making

1108
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 3: a move because they've got fifteen guys. They're all locked up.

1109
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: Every single one the guys that they could move want

1110
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 3: to Scanon Anderson. I suppose maybe Damian Lee for a

1111
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 3: cheap center, but I think they're going to roll with

1112
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: what they got, and I think it's a bit worrisome again,

1113
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 3: back problems for Draymond Green. Igodola came back yesterday after

1114
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 3: missing eight games. He left the game early more back problems.

1115
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 3: He's thirty eight years old. So when you look at

1116
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 3: their bench number one, it's tiny, number two, it's young,

1117
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 3: it's very young, and it's a bit worrisome, but I

1118
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 3: think they stick with it again they do have any

1119
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 3: Marc Gasol said he's not fully retired playing with Girona

1120
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,959
Speaker 3: in Spain. I mean he could be a warrior for sure,

1121
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 3: but I don't know. They also are like, oh whatever,

1122
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 3: it is a billion goadjillion dollars to the luxury tax,

1123
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 3: so that, you know, is a bit of an issue

1124
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: for them, even though they should be playing. But they

1125
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: got Klay Thompson playing, so this is good, like even

1126
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 3: better at this point. So I think they're going to

1127
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 3: roll with their fifteen and think that they got a

1128
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 3: shot against anybody. But I do think injuries are a

1129
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: bit of a worry with it.

1130
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 4: Right.

1131
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: Do you think they'll they'll stay pat here?

1132
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 5: I think so, maybe a a little bit around the

1133
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 5: fringes there. But when you know, Clay coming back was

1134
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 5: their biggest acquisition, and yeah, they've got still plenty of

1135
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 5: games here to play him into game shape. He started

1136
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 5: to show little glimpse of that if he can find

1137
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 5: his real rhythm and momentum come April, which is I

1138
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 5: guess what two months away now for the playoffs. That

1139
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 5: to me, when you've got Tramond healthy, Steph obviously healthy,

1140
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 5: and Clay, they're as good as anybody else.

1141
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: Okay, to ask back to you here, Grizzlies buyers or sellers.

1142
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 3: This is an interesting one because I think they're both.

1143
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 3: I think they could go in either direction. Like before

1144
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 3: this year they were willing to trade Jonas Valentiunis and

1145
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 3: kind of take a lateral step because they didn't see

1146
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 3: Jonas in their long term plans. I could see them

1147
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 3: trading Dylan Brooks because even though he sawid guy could

1148
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 3: win you a playoff series with his defense, he could

1149
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 3: literally shut somebody down. But with the growth of Desmond

1150
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 3: bane as sort of their secondary off ball shooter, Dylan

1151
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 3: Brooks kind of is the same guy. And he played

1152
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 3: twenty minutes in this twenty games to start this season.

1153
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 3: He went out and then Desmond Bain just took on

1154
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: this new role. And Dylan Brooks likes the shots and

1155
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if those shots are going to be

1156
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 3: there now. He could come back and fit in perfectly.

1157
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 3: So maybe you traded, made trade Dylan Brooks for somebody

1158
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 3: who is not as good, just like the Jonas Valentunis

1159
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: sort of scenario, they trade him for Steven Adams. I

1160
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 3: see a KCP name out there that kind of fits

1161
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 3: really really well with the Memphis Grizzlies as sort of

1162
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 3: a stopgap guy not going to be their long term

1163
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 3: but doesn't need to shoot as much, just shoots threes,

1164
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 3: won't you know, take up that space that Desmond Bain

1165
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 3: works in in the mid range. And so I could

1166
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 3: see them, yeah, trying to kind of take a lateral step,

1167
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 3: you know, kind of sell a little bit. But also

1168
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 3: if there's a star out there to compliment Jaron Jackson

1169
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: junior Desmond Bain and John Morant, and they could package,

1170
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 3: you know, whether it's Dylan Brooks or Kyle Anderson or

1171
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 3: even Steven Adams, they would do that too. So I

1172
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 3: could see him going both there. Yeah, big name, Yeah, Yeah,

1173
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 3: I mean the lateral step. I could see that happening too.

1174
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 3: Kyle Anderson I think should be available. And I wonder

1175
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 3: this dyll In Brooks scenario because he is a you know,

1176
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 3: you can never have too many wings in this league.

1177
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 3: So he's gonna come back and he's gonna help out

1178
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 3: and be there, But long term, I'm not sure. You

1179
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 3: know you're gonna pay Jaron Jackson junior. You're gonna pay

1180
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 3: Desmond Bay now. He's super duper duper duper duper cheap

1181
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 3: right now, and he's going to get a long term deal.

1182
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 3: I think he's worked himself into being a long term

1183
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 3: part of this team. But I don't know if Dylan

1184
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 3: is I'm not sure. He seemed like it last year,

1185
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 3: but you know, getting on, I don't know he's still fits,

1186
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 3: he's still twenty six.

1187
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: I would love to see Dylan Brooks on the knicks'd

1188
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 2: be awesome, Like John Starks two point out there, But

1189
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 2: what do you think? Do the Grizzlies stay put here

1190
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: in the deadline or do will they do something like

1191
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 2: Testa saying.

1192
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 4: I've also I've got a great Grizzlies fake trade that

1193
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 4: I need to save for one of the time. I'm

1194
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 4: talking about later. But it's a really good fake trade.

1195
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 4: I think, really good and it involves Kyle Anderson.

1196
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 3: But I'm with you.

1197
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 4: I do think that they could make a move if

1198
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 4: the right thing presents itself. You're right, if you if

1199
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 4: you combine Kyle Anderson and Dylan Brooks contracts this year,

1200
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 4: you're like almost at twenty two million dollars. You can

1201
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 4: get a solid player for that, So we shall see.

1202
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 2: Okay, the Jazz are up next in the Western Conference

1203
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 2: as the four seed. I've got them as buyers. I

1204
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 2: know we've talked about this already, so we'll make it quick.

1205
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 2: Because with Joe Ingles going down, even before that, we

1206
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 2: were saying they need more perimeter defense because you got Ingles,

1207
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: you got Clarkson, you need somebody to help Royce O'Neil

1208
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 2: out there with those assignments. So having the number one

1209
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: offense in the league, that's awesome, But the thirteenth defense

1210
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 2: for the Utah Jazz, what's that's strange? So who can

1211
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: they get?

1212
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 7: Now?

1213
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 2: You got to find a defender they can also hit

1214
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: a shot, you know, you're looking for the classic three

1215
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 2: and D guy there. I wonder though, what we just

1216
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: saw the Cavs do with Ricky Rubio's expiring contract, a

1217
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 2: guy that was injured, attaching a draft pick, you know

1218
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 2: or two really to it to then get a player

1219
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 2: like Harris Lovert. Will the Jazz do the exact same

1220
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 2: with Joe Ingles his expiring deal and then some sort

1221
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: of draft compensation to get another player. I don't know

1222
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 2: who it is, though, I mean Kyle Anderson's come up

1223
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 2: before as a potential guy that you could see as

1224
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 2: a wing defender. Sort of makes sense a little bit.

1225
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 2: But I think they will be active here. I would

1226
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 2: assume they're calling a lot of teams looking for that

1227
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: three and D guy.

1228
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 3: I was amazing hearing Joe Ingles on the broadcast yesterday.

1229
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 3: He was kind of pining for sticking around with the jazz,

1230
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 3: basically saying like I can be an asset in the

1231
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 3: locker room, don't freaking trade me. He wants to be

1232
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 3: around the guys. He came back the following day and

1233
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 3: was in the locker room. He's a great locker room guy.

1234
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 3: But he also said, and it's a business, and maybe

1235
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 3: I am treated. You're keeping a real reel on the broadcast,

1236
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 3: but he wants to stick around, he wants to be there.

1237
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, it is a business, so they yeah, it's

1238
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 3: a move, Like who do you get.

1239
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 2: Well, you can always be treating and then just come back.

1240
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 5: I mean, well, I know can Yeah, it's got to

1241
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 5: be thirty days here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I mean

1242
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 5: I mean next yeah, yeah.

1243
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: What do you just quickly with the Jats? Do you

1244
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 2: think there will be a buyer?

1245
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 5: I think they have to be because they absolutely completely

1246
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 5: lose Ingles production. So they need to find something and

1247
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 5: they can't afford another early playoff flame out. They need

1248
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 5: to sort of show okay, we're going for it again

1249
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 5: this season, so I think they do. I think they

1250
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 5: try to find it.

1251
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks, you're up.

1252
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, last two seasons, two playoff appearances, but both

1253
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 5: times they ran out of gas. They've played the Clippers

1254
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 5: both times. Remember last season, they led to zero, they

1255
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 5: led three to two, and they couldn't win on the

1256
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 5: They couldn't win Game seven on the road in La.

1257
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 5: So their biggest problem is pau Zingis because in the

1258
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 5: playoffs last season he averaged thirteen points and five rebounds

1259
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 5: against the Clippers. Not good enough there. Luca, we know

1260
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 5: he's fantastic. So I think the Mavericks need another ball handle,

1261
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 5: a distributor. I think to go play alongside Lucas so

1262
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 5: someone can take a little bit of the weight off

1263
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 5: his shoulders. And I think they also need another big

1264
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 5: and I think they need another score as well with

1265
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 5: Tim Hardaway going down, so otherwise yeah, otherwise otherwise fine.

1266
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 5: But like Dwight Powell is kind of like they're big

1267
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 5: right now. So I think someone like Dragis could be had,

1268
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 5: even though that might be a bit of a band

1269
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 5: aid solution, but I think that's something to help them

1270
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 5: out there. I think Eric Gordon could be had for

1271
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 5: them now, not quite the sort of playmaker, but a

1272
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 5: guy who can at least score so that Luca can

1273
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 5: be like, all right, I know this guy can shoot.

1274
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 5: He's having a good season too there in Houston. I

1275
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 5: think the Rockets would be prepared to give up him

1276
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 5: and then if they can somehow also maybe get a

1277
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 5: Nurkic if now, especially what we're seeing here with the playzers,

1278
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 5: I think they need another big guy as well. So

1279
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 5: they need a lot of things here because Luca, of

1280
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 5: course is incredibly talented, but as we've seen, he just

1281
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 5: can't do everything in the playoffs. They need someone else.

1282
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 5: And pausingis I hope the Latvian man is not going

1283
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 5: to email me. But look, he didn't turn up that

1284
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 5: he did well. He didn't turn up in the playoffs

1285
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 5: last season and the season before in the bubble. He

1286
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 5: was playing okay, but he got injured. He's out injured

1287
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 5: right now. He's missed twenty games already this season, so

1288
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 5: you just can't rely on it. That's the problem. Boban

1289
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 5: started last season in the playoffs and actually was okay.

1290
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 5: That's pretty bad for the Mavericks if Bobaan is their

1291
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 5: second best player in the playoffs.

1292
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so you see that. I'm trying to

1293
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: be making moves here.

1294
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 5: Like I say, I think dragic obviously. You know, there's

1295
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 5: a contract there and what I don't know what the

1296
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 5: Raptors can get back. But again, an Eric Gordon someone

1297
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 5: to just say to look at you're not going to

1298
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 5: have to do absolutely everything for us. And Tim Hardaway,

1299
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 5: even though he's injured right now, hasn't really lived up

1300
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 5: to that contract so far this season. So yeah, they

1301
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 5: need some help.

1302
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 2: I've got the Nuggets here next. I think this is

1303
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: a fascinating one. I don't know what to think about

1304
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 2: them because they're such a weird squad. They're still playing

1305
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 2: really well. They're a top six to here in the

1306
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 2: Western Conference. Because your kitch is playing out of this world.

1307
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he's playing better than he was in his

1308
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 2: MVP season, which is insane. But they're weeding on their

1309
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 2: guys back, like Jamal Murray in theory is returning, and

1310
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 2: then they're a threat. Right if he's if he's at

1311
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 2: ninety ninety five percent whatever level he's at coming back

1312
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 2: from injury, they're really good. We've seen what he can

1313
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 2: do in playoff series. He's not afraid of the moment.

1314
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 2: But on the other hand, do you just look at

1315
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: this season as like a all right, let's just sort

1316
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 2: of almost like we don't need to go overboard here.

1317
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 2: We don't need to have to be like we made

1318
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: our Aaron Gordon move last year that was that was

1319
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 2: all right, it's worked out okay, you know, but we

1320
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 2: don't need to do that again this year. This is

1321
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 2: what I'm getting out here. So maybe they're like sellers,

1322
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: only in the sense of like a small name like

1323
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 2: Composo is out of the lineup. He doesn't play anymorecause

1324
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 2: Bones Highland has come on really strong, and they're like,

1325
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 2: oh awesome, let's give this guy minutes.

1326
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 3: Love Bones, and he's taking them. Yesterday he tweeted it,

1327
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 3: I want to be an All Star good, just like

1328
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 3: I think he saw de Jante Murray's tweet from seven

1329
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 3: years ago that said, I want to be an All Star.

1330
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: I want you to.

1331
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:48,720
Speaker 3: I love bones.

1332
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 2: So if this team does have their eye on next season,

1333
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 2: which I think is totally fair because of injuries to

1334
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior and jam Murray, then yeah, maybe, Like

1335
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: it's like the classic organization trying to do right by

1336
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 2: a player. You're like compositively like, Okay, you're out of

1337
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,479
Speaker 2: the rotation. We'll get you to a team that maybe

1338
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 2: you get some more minutes and help a team out

1339
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 2: or something like that, and they get a little bit

1340
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 2: of compensation back. I mean, he's a small salary, this

1341
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 2: is this is nothing here. He's like final year of

1342
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: a four million dollar deal. But I just don't think

1343
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 2: they're going to be making a big, a big move.

1344
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: Their move is well, maybe Jamal Murray comes back. Otherwise

1345
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't see them even you know, Monte Morris, I

1346
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 2: guess you sell high on him. Maybe, but I don't

1347
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 2: think they will.

1348
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 3: I guess they got Bryn Forbes a month ago because

1349
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 3: they think that they are a player. I mean, you

1350
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 3: don't trade for Brent Forbes if you think that you're

1351
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 3: yea waiting for next year. I think I think they

1352
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: are looking forward to the playoffs. But yeah, they probably

1353
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 3: don't trade anybody from it because they probably believe in

1354
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 3: they do. They traditionally have believed in all their guys

1355
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 3: obviously believe Michael Porter Junior and Jamal Murray and hopefully

1356
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 3: one of them comes back.

1357
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 2: So I don't see them being buyer. They don't see

1358
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 2: them going to get like a big name of any note.

1359
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 2: But maybe they sell someone around the fringes that's out

1360
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 2: of the rotation, like compositive. All right, let's go to

1361
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat. Let's go to the Eastern Conference. Trade

1362
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 2: buyers are some here we go.

1363
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 4: This is what I was hanging on to that trade for.

1364
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 4: This is exactly because it's kind of actually hard to

1365
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 4: figure out a trade for the Miami Heat skeets. When

1366
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 4: you did your trade candidates for all the teams. Casey

1367
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 4: Opala was the name that came up, not a big name,

1368
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 4: but their real trade candidate is Duncan Robinson. He's got

1369
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 4: four years, seventy five million dollars on his contract after

1370
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 4: this season. He's turned it around a little bit here,

1371
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 4: but it hasn't been bubbled Duncan. I think they could

1372
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 4: basically approximate his production with Max Struce, though Struce is

1373
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 4: a little bit smaller, doesn't have the continuity with the

1374
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 4: Heat that Duncan Robinson does, and I think Duncan's probably

1375
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 4: a little bit better defender. My favorite fake trade before

1376
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 4: last night was Duncan for Eric Gordon. But Gordon has

1377
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 4: two years left on his deal. He's already thirty three.

1378
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 4: I think he'll go somewhere else. So my new favorite

1379
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 4: fake Duncan Robinson trade to Memphis for Kyle Anderson. He

1380
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 4: get a different style player. They don't really have a

1381
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 4: Kyle Anderson, but he plays defense, he can make plays,

1382
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 4: he can hit a three if he needs to. He

1383
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 4: already plays slow like the rest of the Heat do.

1384
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 4: Memphis gets a younger player on a longer deal who

1385
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 4: does something they need. They need three point shooting. They're

1386
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 4: twenty seventh in the league in threes, twenty third and

1387
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 4: three point percentage. This probably doesn't happen. I think the

1388
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,439
Speaker 4: Heat are most likely going to just stay where they're

1389
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 4: at because they've been a really solid team despite all

1390
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 4: the injuries. Yeah, but Duncan Robinson for Kyle Anderson is

1391
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 4: very interesting to me. I think that really helps both teams.

1392
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 2: What do you think.

1393
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 5: I like that definitely for the Grizzlies for sure. I

1394
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 5: think that three point shooting would be something they desperately need.

1395
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 5: For the heat. Yeah, I mean, Kyle Anson's a veteran,

1396
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 5: he's on an expiring deal. I just wonder if the

1397
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 5: heat they do, like potentially what duncan can give them

1398
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. You know, another guy he can hit threes,

1399
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 5: because that's what they that's what they like. He's a starter.

1400
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 5: They need him out there. But on the surface, I

1401
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 5: think the Grizzlies would be very interested if they could

1402
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 5: get him, you know, just again to help spread the floor.

1403
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 5: So I like, it probably doesn't happen though, no, no, the.

1404
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 2: Heat probably probably don't. As we've talked about. Okay, let's

1405
00:59:58,640 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: go to Milwaukee Bucks.

1406
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 5: Well, pretty obviously here the Bucks, I mean they they're

1407
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 5: not a seller, but in order to buy, you almost

1408
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,479
Speaker 5: have to have something to sell. So it's more a barter.

1409
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 5: It's more a barta like a trade. But obviously the biggest,

1410
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 5: the biggest.

1411
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Glaring area deadline.

1412
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 5: It doesn't have the same it doesn't, but it's it's

1413
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 5: the brook Lopez situation. He was a very crucial part

1414
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 5: of what they did last season to win the championship,

1415
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 5: and apart from the opening night, he hasn't played. They've

1416
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 5: tried to Marcus Cousins, he was okay. They've brought back

1417
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 5: the Moose. Greg Monroe is currently on the team on

1418
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 5: a ten day. Did you guys know Larry Sanders is

1419
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 5: still on the payroll in Milwaukee. This is his last

1420
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 5: season's getting paid. So obviously for them, you know they

1421
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 5: can survive I think the regular season without it. But

1422
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 5: I think if they want to compete again and really

1423
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 5: be the toughest team they can be, they need someone

1424
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 5: who can replace what Brooke gave them, someone like a

1425
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 5: Miles Turner. Now, I don't think because they gave up

1426
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 5: so many assets to get Drew Holliday they really have it.

1427
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 5: Are they prepared to give up a Evincenzo or a

1428
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 5: Pat Conton? I also think probably not. The other problem

1429
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,959
Speaker 5: for the Bucks is compensation. Was they lost their second

1430
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 5: round pick for this season in the deal that didn't

1431
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 5: happen with bog Danovitch, so they really don't have anything

1432
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 5: unless they are prepared to give up one of those

1433
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 5: younger players, which I don't think they do, so instead,

1434
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 5: I think they're just going to try to see if

1435
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 5: they can get something to work with, someone they can

1436
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 5: pick up off the scrap people, or maybe in the

1437
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 5: buyout market, maybe if Thadeus Young becomes available. Not the

1438
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 5: same as Brooke, but a veteran strong presence is what

1439
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 5: they need there. So they're sort of a little bit

1440
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 5: tied as to what they can do, but I think

1441
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 5: that's where they're certainly sort of going to be mining

1442
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 5: the free agents, the buyout trait, the buyout list, because

1443
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 5: they want someone in there in Brooks place. Now, if

1444
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 5: someone was prepared to take Brooks contract, I think he's

1445
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 5: got thirty million on it next season, I think the

1446
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 5: Bucks will do it because they can't afford to just

1447
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 5: not have anyone there. They need someone so but then

1448
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 5: again the problem comes back that they don't have that

1449
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 5: draft pick to attach to it, so it's a little tough.

1450
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 5: And according to my research as well, they don't control

1451
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 5: their first round pick until twenty twenty Eightwaukee, So it's

1452
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 5: worth it. They got the championship, you know, they're a

1453
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 5: contender again, so no question it was the right move

1454
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 5: to make. But now with this injury, it's obviously been

1455
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 5: a very significant one this the margin for error is

1456
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 5: so small, right.

1457
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 2: Do you think the Bucks can win a title this

1458
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: season without brooklow pez at all?

1459
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 3: Yes?

1460
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 7: You do?

1461
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, Okay, Well that changes things a little bit

1462
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 2: if you believe that, because some people would disagree with that.

1463
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 5: Oh of course they were, but you know, I know, Trey.

1464
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 3: Being one of them.

1465
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, now I think I still think they are. They can. Okay,

1466
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 5: I'm not sure they'd be the favorite, but I definitely

1467
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 5: think they can.

1468
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, let's go into Trey Kirby's shutter balls buyers

1469
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 2: or sellers and who could be on the move.

1470
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 4: I've gone a lot of ways with this for the Bulls,

1471
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 4: especially over the month of January and early into February.

1472
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,439
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be holders for the most part.

1473
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 4: Minor buyers, I would say, is kind of what the

1474
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 4: Bulls are gonna settle into because their biggest acquisitions are

1475
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 4: going to be Linzo Ball and Alex Cruzell. Getting health

1476
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 4: in the second half of the season, maybe Patrick Williams

1477
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 4: comes back. It seemed like he was going to be

1478
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 4: out for the year, but now there's a little bit

1479
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,959
Speaker 4: of optimism he returns. But you've seen how they played

1480
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 4: against the best teams in the league so far one

1481
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 4: and eleven. The Bulls are against the top seven. Obviously,

1482
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 4: not every team has had their full players. The Bulls

1483
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 4: haven't had their full players. Still, they're a good team.

1484
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 4: They're not a great team. There are still a kind

1485
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 4: kind of little moves to be made. Troy Brown Junior

1486
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 4: hasn't been great for the Bulls. He's making five million

1487
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 4: this season. He has a qualifying offer for seven million

1488
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 4: next year. Derek Jones Junior is hurt right now. He

1489
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 4: was a good small ball five when he was healthy.

1490
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 4: His athleticism really helps. He's on an expiring deal nine

1491
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 4: million this year and Tony Bradley two million this year,

1492
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 4: two million next year. Trade any of those guys, just

1493
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 4: try something new. The bench hasn't been incredible, especially in

1494
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 4: this latest run, so I think they could all be

1495
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 4: moved and upgraded. Guys I would target are like Kenrich Williams,

1496
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 4: Jakub Pertle, Tory Craig Larry Nance Junior just went in

1497
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 4: this New Orleans Pelicans trade, Thad Young coming back. I

1498
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,439
Speaker 4: don't know. They're just minor players who are a little

1499
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 4: bit bigger, a little bit stronger, who focus on defense.

1500
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 4: That's exactly what the Bulls need. And they should also

1501
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 4: trade for a new doctor to get these guys healthy.

1502
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: That's the main thing.

1503
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 4: They're going to get better just by bringing their guys back.

1504
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 4: It's like maybe the four most important acquisitions for any

1505
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 4: team uh in in the league are going to be

1506
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 4: Brook Lopez coming back, Draymond coming back, Caruso, and Lonzo

1507
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 4: com Murray. Yeah, exactly right.

1508
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys can return into their team.

1509
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 3: Somebody's got to duplicate those Phoenix doctors. They seem like

1510
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 3: the Phoenix doctors are great, the best in the two thousands,

1511
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 3: you know, keeping everybody healthy. And now same thing. I

1512
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 3: mean they are one through fifteen amazing.

1513
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 2: All right, three teams left the calves. They've already made

1514
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,959
Speaker 2: their move. They got Carris Lavert. You know, that's another

1515
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 2: perimeter score, a little playmaking out of there. They needed

1516
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 2: it with Rubio going down. With Sexton of course out.

1517
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to do anything else. I don't.

1518
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't think they're trading a coor. I think they

1519
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 2: really like him obviously being a young guy. I don't

1520
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 2: think they're trading any sort of draft capital. You know,

1521
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 2: Sextant sect In Sexton's excuse me name has come up.

1522
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 2: I actually think now with what they've done, they're they're

1523
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 2: going to be way below the luxury tax, so they

1524
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 2: they have a chance to retain him and avoid still

1525
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 2: the luxury tax. I mean, he'll have like basically an

1526
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 2: eight and a half a million qualifying offer making him

1527
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 2: a restricted free agent in the summer. So I don't

1528
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 2: think they're in any rush. They're obviously playing above their heads.

1529
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 2: The vibes are great. Get into the playoffs, get experience

1530
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 2: for these young guys, help maybe win a series for

1531
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 2: all we know with how they play defense, and that's it.

1532
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 2: So I don't see them doing anything else. Does anybody

1533
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 2: disagree that they'll make another move here?

1534
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 4: If somebody knocks their socks off on a common trade,

1535
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 4: I would think is the only way it really happens.

1536
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 4: But bringing in Karris Lavert for Rubio like you're going

1537
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 4: to trade one of those two dead contracts this season

1538
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 4: for something. They got their help, So we'll see. And

1539
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 4: now if you can keep Collin Sexton on a small deal,

1540
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 4: sure that's nice.

1541
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Alright, Lee, we gave you this team as we wanted

1542
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 2: to see Farck parked in the slack seventy six ers.

1543
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 2: We don't need to go along on this, But are

1544
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 2: they going to be buyers or sling?

1545
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 5: They're looking to sell a mansion and buy mansion. Really,

1546
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 5: that's what they're trying to do. I mean, obviously it's

1547
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 5: the Simmons and Hardened potential deal looming. But I do

1548
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 5: wonder if they try to move off the Tobias Harris contract,

1549
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 5: because apparently, you know, they are trying to get away

1550
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 5: from him. But I don't think they do it unless

1551
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 5: there's a same sort of things like, well, we have

1552
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 5: to make this move for this guy. Tobias is a

1553
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 5: frustrating player, no doubt about it, but he is consistent

1554
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 5: and he's been on that team for a while. I

1555
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 5: wouldn't just trade him for the sake of trading him.

1556
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 5: If they didn't have Andre Drummond, I would say, obviously

1557
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 5: they need someone to sort of help mop up some

1558
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 5: minutes behind him. But Drummond has proven when em Bead's

1559
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 5: been out he's been a very good replacement. So I

1560
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 5: really obviously everything looms over over Simmons and James Harden

1561
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 5: and that's really nothing else is going to change. I

1562
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 5: don't think before that, right, you.

1563
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 2: Don't see Simmons going to any other team here, even

1564
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 2: the Blazer.

1565
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I guess it's can be in play now.

1566
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 5: I mean he's a young player under contract, He's got

1567
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 5: three years after this one. He's a defensive player, So

1568
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 5: I mean, if the Blazes alike, yep, we're moving on

1569
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 5: from Little It then possibly okay.

1570
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 2: Final team Tronto Raptors. Buyers are sellers here. We brought

1571
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 2: up Draga's name, but anything else they gotta go get.

1572
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 3: Well, the Raptors gotta be buyers now. With the way

1573
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 3: they're playing right now, I would say their top four

1574
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 3: are untouchable. After the six game win streak. It feels

1575
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 3: like Siakham, Van vleet Og and Gary Trent are there

1576
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 3: for you know this, this this season at the very least,

1577
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 3: to see what they do and for you know, the

1578
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 3: future here. Scotty Barnes is yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

1579
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 3: of course.

1580
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 6: But with massai U Jerrie there, you never know.

1581
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: You never know.

1582
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 3: These forty eight hours here before the deadline, there are

1583
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 3: seemingly players that are coming up, like Damian Lillard seems

1584
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 3: to be coming up. I'm not saying the Raptors are

1585
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 3: trading for Damian Lillard can't go that far quite yet.

1586
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 3: So I think the Raptors, Yeah, they have dragas available,

1587
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 3: precious that you available. Actually, they should only be able

1588
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 3: to trade them together, like the way that they acquired

1589
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 3: them for Kyle Lowry. Listen, it does feel like the

1590
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 3: Blazers are tearing this down. It feels like the Wizards

1591
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 3: are sort of in the same boat. But you know,

1592
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 3: sometimes I think maybe the GM there in Portland has

1593
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 3: beat the Wizards to the punch a little bit. I

1594
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 3: don't know is Beal? Is Bill gonna be dealt in

1595
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 3: the next forty hours or is he gonna be dealt

1596
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 3: in the off season. It doesn't feel like Bal's gonna

1597
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 3: be there forever. So is there a package out there?

1598
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 3: Is there a package out there that the Raptors could

1599
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 3: acquire Briley Beal for?

1600
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 7: Is that?

1601
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 3: Is that?

1602
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 6: Is that crazy?

1603
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 3: I mean, my fingers got a They could.

1604
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 2: Put together a very enticing package. But then the question

1605
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 2: is are you trade Yeah, do you just trade for

1606
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 2: the the all NBA level player like a Beal like

1607
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 2: we've seen, Yes, but you're giving up two three, you know,

1608
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: obviously promising solid players.

1609
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 4: Would you trade og?

1610
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 6: It depends on the package.

1611
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Og, drag ch whatever pick you

1612
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 4: need to throw in to make it interesting for the Wizards.

1613
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 3: Wow, I would think about it. I mean, I put

1614
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,799
Speaker 3: this on the paper, I put this in the trade machine.

1615
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 6: In it worked.

1616
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 3: Bradley Beal coming back to join the Big Four, to

1617
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 3: be with fred Va Vliet and Gary Trent and and

1618
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 3: Og and Siakam. But you have to give up Scottie

1619
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 3: Barnes to get Scottie Barnes, drag It and Cheua in

1620
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 3: a first round pick or you know whether that works anyways.

1621
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 6: I know it sounds crazy, but Massia is willing to

1622
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 6: make that deal.

1623
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 3: I mean, the the person you're giving up, the talent

1624
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 3: you're giving up, is Scottie Barnes, and when what his

1625
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:40,560
Speaker 3: ceiling can become really that's that's the the only the

1626
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 3: only piece that you're worried about becoming a superstar player

1627
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 3: if you're a Massia u Jeri, right, And.

1628
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 2: But then you're also having to like say, does Bradley

1629
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 2: Beal really make us like, you know, if we have

1630
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 2: a ten percent chance to win a title right now,

1631
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,560
Speaker 2: does Bradley Beal take us to what? I mean this

1632
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: one I'm saying he's asking like he's doing this all

1633
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 2: this on his play.

1634
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: Work.

1635
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1636
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 5: I thought they stopped that. Yeah, I don't know.

1637
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 2: They just came around and asked for everybody's BlackBerry back.

1638
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 2: I guess, so yeah, oh yeah, all right. So those

1639
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 2: are the top twelve teams, you know, six in each

1640
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 2: conference that we debeat. Whether they're gonna be battles sellers,

1641
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 2: maybe you guys agreed, disagree. You have the full details

1642
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 2: of McCollum deal. It looks like it's like we're getting

1643
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 2: it's flashing out here a little bit.

1644
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 6: So what is it?

1645
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 7: Just?

1646
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 5: Okay? So going to Portland is Josh Hart, Nikolai, Alexander Walker,

1647
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 5: Thomas Santauranzki Nikiel Nikiel? Did he lose Thatta a protected

1648
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two first round pick and two second round picks?

1649
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

1650
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 5: Okay, okay? And then going to New Orleans is c J.

1651
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 5: Larry Nance, and Tony Snell. So just looking at the

1652
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 5: draft picks, they have the Pelicans here, they have a

1653
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 5: protected one from the Charlotte Hornets got fourteen protected, so

1654
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 5: I suspect it could be that one in the twenty

1655
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 5: twenty two draft. There so not a bad haul, though

1656
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 5: I think not a bad trade for both teams. You're

1657
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 5: getting Larry Nance going to the Pelicans, so they definitely

1658
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 5: feel like they're going for something this season. They're not

1659
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 5: just minling the season incompletely the Pelicans. The Pelicans yet, and.

1660
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 2: It feels like the Blazers have had to like basically say, wow,

1661
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 2: we want all these picks, but no one wants to

1662
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 2: give them to them. So to say, hey, we'll give

1663
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 2: you a young guy that was just a pick, be

1664
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 2: it Kean Johnson in the last trade, now Nikil Alexander Walker,

1665
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 2: and it's pay a couple of years and then and

1666
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 2: then here's like another sort of pick, but it's protected,

1667
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:29,879
Speaker 2: like there's nothing unprotected.

1668
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 4: Blazers are acquiring New Orleans twenty two first rounder pick

1669
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 4: comes to the Blazers if it's between five and fourteen,

1670
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 4: So they are really wanting the Pelicans to not make

1671
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 4: it yeah into the playoffs.

1672
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 3: Wow.

1673
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 4: Basically, what the Blazers are doing are undoing every one

1674
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 4: of Neil Olshay's last moves. It was the Larry Nance trade,

1675
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 4: it was Robert Covington, and it was Norm Powell. Those

1676
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 4: are the last three moves he made, and those are

1677
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 4: the three moves that Cronin has made me like A

1678
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:58,719
Speaker 4: I don't know about that, Neil.

1679
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 2: Right, we're still doing another show after all. Right, Well,

1680
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 2: let's wrap this one up. Let's take a break. We'll

1681
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 2: get to tweeted the night and pick the results. Don't

1682
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:11,760

Speaker 2: Yeah, so just a I guess just sharing this. I

1713
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 2: mean it works two ways, right, because of the whole

1714
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 2: computers are now part of the NBA, with the whole

1715
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 2: tips part, but then you know the desk part too.

1716
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 2: We're sitting here at a new desk and that's an

1717
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 2: old things. That table is trash, Yeah, that last one.

1718

Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I don't even know what kind of wood

1719
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 4: that it was. It doesn't look like oak and it

1720
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 4: doesn't look high quality to me.

1721
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 2: I agree, it's I mean, Lee, if you were guessing

1722
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 2: what type of would that old desk is, what would

1723
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 2: you say?

1724
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 6: Are you kidding?

1725
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 5: I took a guess.

1726
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 7: What are you?

1727
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 3: We're saying how bad the wood is, and then he

1728
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 3: names the best wood. There is.

1729
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,559

01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 2: now we're sitting nice. Oh care, it's really nice.

1733
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 3: What's weird is that we sat at that desk a lot.

1734
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 3: But I can't even orient myself where where? Which direction

1735
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 3: is this?

1736
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 5: That's the Yeah, it was the control room. Yeah, but

1737
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 5: like march madness and stuff.

1738
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but is there a hallway on the left there?

1739
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 4: Like yeah, you go around that corner and you're exiting

1740
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 4: out kind of to the studio.

1741
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 6: But he just doesn't look like there's a hallway there.

01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, single use plastic all over the table to ter Yeah,

01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 3: this desk.

1745
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,120

1747
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 3: for hanging, not for working. So yeah, not this. The

1748
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 3: computers weren't a part of modern day work back then.

1749
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 3: I mean this is twenty thirteen.

1750
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:20,719
Speaker 4: Outlets.

1751
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 2: Computers were not a part of the NBA back then

1752
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 2: they are now.

1753
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,200

Speaker 4: six C and that because I know that, just like

1755
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 4: that table, that's the worst iPhone I ever had in

1756
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 4: my life. I hated the iPhone six C, maybe because

1757
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 4: it was it felt like a child's funk looking looks.

1758
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 4: I was just I hated that wild phone sucks in

1759
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 4: that table, not teak.

1765
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 2: of the show, you guys were looking good. There were

1766
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 2: up fifteen a couple of minutes ago. Got this one

1767
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 2: wrapped up. No, no, no, here come the bulls with

1768

Speaker 2: and I. Trey improves to four and one in the

1770
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 2: month of February. I improved to three and two, same

1771
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 2: record as Lee. I actually got to be honest, as

1772
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 2: I felt bad for this last Task is still looking

1773
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 2: for a win in February, and you had it and

1774
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 2: it just got snatched from you there by the chicuggle bolls.

1775
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:33,639
Speaker 6: I'm trying to have a winless month.

1776
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 3: I'm going for it.

1777
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 6: Never been done, Never been done.

1778
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 3: It's hard, it's hard to back back your way into that.

1779
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 3: It's more to prove that you shouldn't gamble. This segment

1780
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 3: brought to you by bet MG Boston visiting Brooklyn. I

1781
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 3: thought was a bit of a tough game tonight, Brooklyn

1782
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 3: five and a half point dogs at home. And that's

1783
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 3: why we're Splitsville on this one tray. And I think

1784
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 3: the Nets will cover despite all their injuries. Obviously no durant,

1785
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 3: no replaying at home unless something changes in the again, Yeah,

1786
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 3: that's the question.

1787
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 6: I'm not sure.

1788
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 3: Okay just went with the.

1789
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 6: Five and a half point fighters.

1790
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 3: He's questionable. While I believe that they'll scrap out. Everybody

1791
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 3: believing in the Celtics. Keats and Lee taking the Celtics. Yes,

1792
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 3: they're seven to one over their last eight. They have

1793
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 3: beaten a lot of bad teams, even though uh, you know,

1794
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 3: I want to believe that they're legit. But six points

1795
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 3: to win by on the road it is a good amount.

1796
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,799
Speaker 3: So that's a good line. Line makers good stuff.

1797
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 2: Got a Splitsville over here, Lee and I taking the

1798
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 2: Celtics and we got trained task taking the nets to cover. Okay,
