Speaker 1: Come on, you're listening to Heat Check from Trista Criek,
Speaker 1: Odyssey's official NBA podcast, Find that wherever you get your
Speaker 1: podcasts and live all throughout free agency, Summer League, and beyond. Bob. So,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at raw I'm trying to look
Speaker 1: at my notes at the same time. It's just not
Speaker 1: quite the same situation. Let's start today's show by saying,
Speaker 1: today's a good day for Kyrie Irving to be traded
Speaker 1: to the Lakers. Let's start today's show by saying today
Speaker 1: is a great day for Kevin Durant to be traded
Speaker 1: to the Phoenix Suns. Let's start off today by saying
Speaker 1: today is a great day to see Russell Westbrook anywhere
Speaker 1: else besides LA. Let's be honest, it's not working, and
Speaker 1: I want to see him suffer. I want us to know.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, but I do want to know
Speaker 1: what he does if he goes somewhere, and I don't
Speaker 1: think he's gonna spend one moment in a Nets uniform.
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. Also, the teardown is complete,
Speaker 1: it's happening. Let's get Donovan Mitchell to be the bad
Speaker 1: guy and request out now like it's happening. But before
Speaker 1: we get started, a couple of notes around the league.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of news items happening. Jody Allen, current
Speaker 1: owner of the Portland Trailblazers. Uh, what do I say
Speaker 1: that hasn't already been said? Jody's selon, damn team. We
Speaker 1: know you don't care about this team. She put this
Speaker 1: tweet out. Let me go look for a real quick
Speaker 1: rock because it is just outrageous, Jody Allen, for you
Speaker 1: to have the goal to say what you said makes
Speaker 1: no sense. This is what she said as chair of
Speaker 1: both the Portland Trailblazers and the Seattle Seahawks. My long
Speaker 1: term focus is building championship teams that our communities are
Speaker 1: proud of. Like my brother Paul, I trust and expect
Speaker 1: our leaders and coaches to build winning teams. That's such
Speaker 1: a shady comment about Seattle and Portland and free Vault.
Speaker 1: As we've stated before, and neither of the teams is
Speaker 1: for sale and that there are no sales discussions happening.
Speaker 1: A time will come that given changes, given Paul's plans
Speaker 1: to dedicate the vast that's a typo. A time will
Speaker 1: come when that changes, given Paul's plans to dedicate the
Speaker 1: vast majority of his wealth the philanthropy. But the states
Speaker 1: of this size and complexity can take ten to twenty
Speaker 1: years to wind down. There is no preordained timeline by
Speaker 1: which the teams must be sold. Until then, My focus
Speaker 1: and that of our teams is on winning. That is
Speaker 1: such a lie. That's such a lie. Just sell a
Speaker 1: team to Phill Knight by all means, just get rid
Speaker 1: of this thing. We know you don't care, We know
Speaker 1: you don't know anything about sports, Jody, Paul Ellen. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest. Paul Allen never invited one athlete to any
Speaker 1: of his parties. He was all musicians and actors and
Speaker 1: people in the entertainment field. He saw the athletes as
Speaker 1: like something else, not to be mixed. Sell the team, Jody,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on as a Portland Show
Speaker 1: Blazer fan. For her to try to tell me she's
Speaker 1: gonna hold my team hostage for twenty years is something
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can stand for. Like that
Speaker 1: just needs to get fixed asap. Rocky, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Just like Brian Windhors would say, what was she saying
Speaker 1: that for? Why would she do that? I don't know. Uh.
Speaker 1: Moving on, I've been thinking more about the Rudy Gobert
Speaker 1: trade I have, and I think while that is a
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of picks that Minnesota had to give up,
Speaker 1: I'm starting to understand and that we must trust in
Speaker 1: Tim Connolly. Tim Connolly is the one who identified Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert who ended up going to Utah and not Denver.
Speaker 1: Tim Connolly's first order of business is to turn, not turn.
Speaker 1: I would say, put Carl Anthony Towns in a situation
Speaker 1: where he doesn't have to be what he isn't right,
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns is a four masquerading in a five's body.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be the rim protector. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want to have to deal with anchoring a defense and
Speaker 1: getting in foul trouble then limiting his offensive weapons re
Speaker 1: weapon re. He is kind of soft. So to point
Speaker 1: him in a position where he's supposed to be the
Speaker 1: tough guy and the guy who to protect your team bad.
Speaker 1: And it shows me that Tim Connolly is all about
Speaker 1: providing Rudy with the pieces that he needs to be
Speaker 1: successful around. So I actually like the move and we'll
Speaker 1: talk more about what Minnesota did later, because I think
Speaker 1: they might be one of the most underrated teams in
Speaker 1: terms of the moves that they made this offseason, and
Speaker 1: I think that they might be a team as a
Speaker 1: dark horse in the West. I know that's crazy to
Speaker 1: say they could be this year's Dallas. I'm saying it now.
Speaker 1: They could be the team that comes out of nowhere
Speaker 1: and makes it to the Western Conference Finals. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be insanely difficult to deal with Minnesota. Now first rounders,
Speaker 1: They're like, what do we care? Honestly, we've got first
Speaker 1: rounders in the twenties now, it's not like these are
Speaker 1: lottery picks. There was a new article that came out
Speaker 1: on ESPN Plus. I'll tell you what it said. If
Speaker 1: you don't have it, It's basically like, if you don't
Speaker 1: have picks one through fifteen, what you have is a
Speaker 1: bench guy. So are you willing to give up five
Speaker 1: bench guys for a defensive player two time Defensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Year. Yes, overwhelmingly Yes. Minnesota is not a
Speaker 1: lottery team anymore. They're team that's going to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: They have a really good coach, they've got a front
Speaker 1: office and new ownership group that's trying to make them
Speaker 1: contend or at least make it to the second round
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Do you think the second round of
Speaker 1: the playoffs get you picks one through fifteen? Oh, sir
Speaker 1: does not. So who cares? As they would say in
Speaker 1: the biz, fuck them picks, That's what Les need said,
Speaker 1: fuck them picks. Let's go out and get Obi j
Speaker 1: Let's go out and get Matthew Stafford, Let's go out
Speaker 1: and get von Miller, and let's go out and get
Speaker 1: something for those fingers. Let's go out and get some
Speaker 1: for those fingers, folks. So that's really interesting to me
Speaker 1: because for every Bones Highland, for every Tyrese Maxi, there
Speaker 1: are five Zeke Nagies, there are five Malachai Flinns. And
Speaker 1: the Golbert trade Gobart trade, really, I call them Gilbert.
Speaker 1: The Gobert trade really for me, is all about Kat
Speaker 1: and that is something that we can talk about at
Speaker 1: a different time. Is what if the Lakers were smart,
Speaker 1: they would do for Anthony Davis. Little hot take that
Speaker 1: I just thought of right the second. If the Lakers
Speaker 1: cared about their team, they'd trade Lebron James. Yes, they would.
Speaker 1: They would build around street clothes. They would build around
Speaker 1: skin of skin of paper, bones of glass Anthony Davis,
Speaker 1: and they'd find him a big rim protector like DeAndre
Speaker 1: Ayton or Rob Williams or one of those. But they
Speaker 1: won't because they care about money, because they're broke. Like
Speaker 1: all family businesses, the next generation more and more cheap,
Speaker 1: cheaper than the last. Brock. All right, let's move on underrated.
Speaker 1: I can't hear you laugh, which sucks. Underrated free agent
Speaker 1: signings and trades. To me, the most under the radar
Speaker 1: team is Denver. Like they're not the best free agent
Speaker 1: team or signing team, but they're the most like under
Speaker 1: the radar. How much better we don't know. But they
Speaker 1: did make moves. What they did. Traded Thrill Barton, they
Speaker 1: traded Monte Morris. They got KCP back, who, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: KCP is basically going to step in in case MPJ
Speaker 1: isn't fully healthy. A wing who can get threes, who
Speaker 1: can slash, stand in the corner. Not to say that's
Speaker 1: what MPJA does, but you kind of need somebody on
Speaker 1: the perimeter if he's not healthy. They signed DeAndre Jordan,
Speaker 1: low key kind of room protector signing how much legs
Speaker 1: and knees and ankles does he have? Not sure, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. Just stand there like Hassan white Side.
Speaker 1: They also picked up Bruce Brown. Interesting, the lack delay amazing.
Speaker 1: They picked up Bruce Brown two years, sixteen million dollars,
Speaker 1: and I think that helps him. I think that helps
Speaker 1: him play small ball five. He solidifies Denver as having
Speaker 1: done something like if they wouldn't have picked up Bruce Brown,
Speaker 1: they're basically saying we're okay with getting worse. Right, Denver's
Speaker 1: done something interesting in getting a guy who's very versatile.
Speaker 1: He can rebound, he can get assists. He had two
Speaker 1: games in the first round of the playoff where he
Speaker 1: had twenty plus points and he had like almost ten
Speaker 1: rebounds in those games. And you add him to Jamal
Speaker 1: Murray and Michael Porter Junior and a two time MVP
Speaker 1: alongside Aaron Gordon, this team could be really, really interesting.
Speaker 1: And they have something now that it's very hard to find.
Speaker 1: Malle ability, the ability to shape shift your lineup depending
Speaker 1: on your opponent, the ability to go big or small,
Speaker 1: or big or small that you can't tell with my hands,
Speaker 1: but I did the wrong way. I went small, big Anyway,
Speaker 1: I think this team is interesting, and I think that
Speaker 1: it shows that they're thinking about the postseason and they're
Speaker 1: not really thinking about the regular season, because you can
Speaker 1: be a four to five seed and still go a
Speaker 1: long way. We saw that with Dallas. We've seen that
Speaker 1: with teams like Portland. We've seen that with teams like
Speaker 1: Denver in the past. He cuts really well, Bruce, he
Speaker 1: defends really well. He can score. Like I said, he
Speaker 1: averaged fourteen to five three in the Boston series with
Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty six and two games, up from
Speaker 1: eight four to two in the previous playoffs. And Brown,
Speaker 1: to me, is one of the few few signings you
Speaker 1: can actually tell your fan base listen, we're actually trying
Speaker 1: to do something. Make no mistake, this is a move
Speaker 1: to say we have to be more versatile on defense.
Speaker 1: Bruskins can guard one through five when Joki is not
Speaker 1: on the floor. So that's very interesting to me. Number Two,
Speaker 1: Boston Malcolm Brogden is a very interesting trade. It helps
Speaker 1: them immensely. I'm gonna say it, if Boston had Malcolm
Speaker 1: Brogden on this team against the Warriors, I think they
Speaker 1: might have won. That's how important someone like Malcolm Brogden is.
Speaker 1: He's a real point guard who can truly play make.
Speaker 1: He can be consistent in the perimeter as a scorer.
Speaker 1: He's a really good deep three point shooter. He's decent
Speaker 1: on on ball defense. He's six', five he's it's like
Speaker 1: what you would Want Peyton pritcher to, do but he's
Speaker 1: gonna get, cooked. Right Peyton pritcher became a liability on.
Speaker 1: Defense Malcolm brogden's not a liability on, defense but he
Speaker 1: can do even more offensively Than Peyton pritcher can do
Speaker 1: because he's much bigger and he's just more of a vet.
Speaker 1: Right he's very, composed he's very. Safe he's a very
Speaker 1: sure handed late game point, guard which is exactly the
Speaker 1: opposite Of marcus mart who makes wildly crazy. Decisions he
Speaker 1: shoots well from, three really sleeped on slept on forty
Speaker 1: on catch and shoot, threes and he's gonna get a
Speaker 1: huge number of open looks. Too he's six,', five physical
Speaker 1: much more versatile as an option than Somebody Like. Peyton
Speaker 1: pritchard AND like, i said this Team with brogden wins
Speaker 1: it all. LAST year I think i, think so not
Speaker 1: just because, of defense because he has one point eight
Speaker 1: turnovers per game in his career and on a team
Speaker 1: that literally was averaging like twenty twenty playoff turnovers Against The. Golden.
Speaker 1: State warriors. Need that and he's gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of three pointers Open With jason Tatum And, jaylen brown
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be able to fill out that kind
Speaker 1: of guard Role Like, derek white but a better three,
Speaker 1: point shooter. Better defender it's. Just interesting it's an. Interesting
Speaker 1: move another number three, Underrated Move dante DiVincenzo To, the
Speaker 1: warriors super, low key under. The radar nobody's talking. About
Speaker 1: that very Unhappy. In sacramento they tried to get. Him
Speaker 1: twice it did not work. Either time and now we
Speaker 1: know That the Warriors Want Swiss. Army knis and That's
Speaker 1: what if you look back At What dante DiVincenzo Did
Speaker 1: in Villanova and lenova during his time to Win, the
Speaker 1: chip there very underrated, active defender not only on, help
Speaker 1: defense just off the ball, in general and gets his
Speaker 1: hands in the. Passing lanes pesky six, y four but
Speaker 1: with a pretty, long wingspan he, can dunk he. Can
Speaker 1: block we saw that very mark. He blocked HE had
Speaker 1: i think it was in the championship game if not
Speaker 1: in the. Final four he's not as good of a
Speaker 1: Defender As gary, payton junior but you, know What Or
Speaker 1: gary payton the second but you know it doesn't, Really
Speaker 1: matter like this is what you. Could Afford gary, payton's
Speaker 1: gone so how are you going to? Replace him he's
Speaker 1: not as good of a three. Point shooter he shoots
Speaker 1: like thirty three percent, from three but he's much better
Speaker 1: terms in terms of catch and shoot forty two on
Speaker 1: catch and, shoot threes and he's gonna be a good
Speaker 1: THREE and d guy six, to four can block, very
Speaker 1: long really really HIGH basketball iq at a time or
Speaker 1: in a place where you have to have a PRETTY
Speaker 1: good iq to run complex Schemes Which golden state wants.
Speaker 1: To run deflects a ton, of balls tracks the ball,
Speaker 1: really well. Insane motor not a Replacement, for PEYTON but
Speaker 1: i think very underrated signing Speaking Of, Gary Payton gary
Speaker 1: Payton to portland. Love it One Makes golden, state. Sad
Speaker 1: awesome Two Makes damian lillard happy. Even better. Oakland Connection
Speaker 1: gary payton grew Up, In oakland dame grew Up, in
Speaker 1: oakland And those oakland roots. RUN deep i think that's.
Speaker 1: Very important He's A swiss army knife in WAYS that
Speaker 1: I Think chauncey phillips is going to be able to
Speaker 1: use in really. Unique situations he's an insane defender for
Speaker 1: how small. He is he's got a, long wingspan pesky
Speaker 1: definitely someone you don't want to defend you if you're,
Speaker 1: a Player, right like that IS something i think is.
Speaker 1: Very important you can't understate how good he is as a.
Speaker 1: Role player he defends one. Through five he's a, very explosive.
Speaker 1: Athletic roller he can get out, into transition, get steals.
Speaker 1: Extremely explosive AND when i say he gets steals like that's.
Speaker 1: An understatement he had led the league per thirty six
Speaker 1: in steels two point eight steals per. Thirty six put
Speaker 1: that man in, the game coach on. The BALL like,
Speaker 1: i said he's a. Total pest he was one of
Speaker 1: the MAIN reasons i Think that boston lost, that series
Speaker 1: not just because of, his defense because of his, rebounding
Speaker 1: abilities because of his ability to roll to the rim
Speaker 1: and know where things are going. To develop he's in
Speaker 1: the right spots all. The time he hasn't knows for how.
Speaker 1: THINGS run i mean it's almost like his dad played
Speaker 1: professional basketball at a very. High level it's almost like
Speaker 1: that exactly the match you would need to Play, besides
Speaker 1: Dame since dame plays no defense and he is going to.
Speaker 1: Lock games dame out up. In, PRACTICE boy i can't
Speaker 1: wait to see something. LIKE that i need to know
Speaker 1: what those practices, look like because he's going to be
Speaker 1: in game's asshole inside. Of it uh, number five here's.
Speaker 1: Another one nobody's. Talking About josha kogi To The. Phoenix
Speaker 1: suns these are like very niche moves right like nobody's
Speaker 1: really interested in. These PLAYERS but i think that they're
Speaker 1: very interesting and we'll be talked about in the season
Speaker 1: as as like a lynchpin for a team that's looking
Speaker 1: to elevate. From post he's in success to getting over, the.
Speaker 1: Hump right he had a down year last Year Because
Speaker 1: anthony edwards is taking, his spot taking all of. His
Speaker 1: minutes he can, split defenses he can slash from. The
Speaker 1: perimeter he's a really good. Rim runner he has really.
Speaker 1: Good hops he can play above the rim. And dunk
Speaker 1: he can block, really well has a nose for, the
Speaker 1: ball hunts the. Ball down he does some of the
Speaker 1: things that you would hope a Guy like ayton. Would
Speaker 1: do like he's not, A center he's not going to be,
Speaker 1: a center but he can do some of the Things
Speaker 1: that ayton. Does well because it Looks like ayton's, Gone
Speaker 1: right he's gonna be really helpful if he's using the.
Speaker 1: Right SPOTS and i think the most important thing is
Speaker 1: he's twenty four. Years old he's. Twenty four he reminds
Speaker 1: me kind Of of Isaacacoro. In cleveland plays that like, tweener
Speaker 1: role not like exactly a, pure shooter but definitely somebody
Speaker 1: that you want to play An Integral jared vanderbilt type,
Speaker 1: of deal which is exactly the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: he likes. To do and. He's long he's six' four
Speaker 1: with the, seven feet. Wingspan that's huge and if he
Speaker 1: can get settled, IN the ring i. Mean that's big
Speaker 1: if you can get settled in, THE regular season i
Speaker 1: think he plays important minutes coming. In the playoffs if,
Speaker 1: he's six' four he can play like a four spot in,
Speaker 1: a SMALL ball lineup and i think he can still play,
Speaker 1: defense on you know two three fours. Another One pretty
Speaker 1: much the, WOLVES as a whole i, like What They
Speaker 1: did but kyle anderson Just ended up departing memphis in
Speaker 1: a way that nobody even is. Speaking about it all
Speaker 1: he's kind Of Like. This year's derek White comes. From
Speaker 1: the spurs, system very, boring player very, slow very, light
Speaker 1: skinned very fundamental, and you know, what awesome role player
Speaker 1: started a Ton. Of games. For memphis very shifty They
Speaker 1: call him slow mo because he literally looks like, he's
Speaker 1: moving through. Sand and that's fine like guys who play
Speaker 1: fast on defense don't know what to. Do With. My
Speaker 1: man kyle anderson honestly consider. Them The Same Person And.
Speaker 1: KYLE anderson derek white i get him confused for each
Speaker 1: other all the time because. Their games are similar they
Speaker 1: Both played for the spurs at, around the same time,
Speaker 1: and you know what. They're amazing role players that's what.
Speaker 1: He's going to do he's not a, great three point
Speaker 1: shooter but everyone seems to fall. For HIS pump fake and,
Speaker 1: i don't know why but everybody seems. To fall for
Speaker 1: it an, annoying player for defenses he. Gets his shot
Speaker 1: off his, arms are so long he, has great, body
Speaker 1: control great footwork and he's, a really willing passer. GREAT
Speaker 1: at passing lobs i think that's gonna Be Very. INTERESTING
Speaker 1: for rudy gobert i think that's gonna Be. Very Interesting.
Speaker 1: For carling anthony towns, really good at passing, pocket passes as,
Speaker 1: well good bounce passer especially in tight windows in. Like
Speaker 1: very packed spaces it's. A solid pickup man he's gonna
Speaker 1: step right in to. A really good role he had
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty. One steals last year memphis was
Speaker 1: the number one team, in steels last year and he
Speaker 1: was second on. The team at steeles that is something
Speaker 1: that they're going to need because that was one of
Speaker 1: The things that, the wolves. Did really really poorly he
Speaker 1: can handle the ball, a little well uh. And he's got.
Speaker 1: Experienced he's very poised he's going to help, THIS roster
Speaker 1: a lot i. Think During The playoffs and, john, moran
Speaker 1: even said. Like that's my dog i'm. Gonna be missing
Speaker 1: him and you have to understand that if jaw thinks
Speaker 1: you're important, to a contending team then he's gonna help
Speaker 1: at a Very. Critical JUNCTURE for Minnesota and i think
Speaker 1: minnesota in general actually is a team that has, Made
Speaker 1: multiple good Moves Like, they got bryn forbes nobody's kind
Speaker 1: Of Nobody, cares, about brin forbes right but he's a.
Speaker 1: Good spot up shooter this is like we've. Talked about
Speaker 1: this before this is a league where you need stars,
Speaker 1: and you need capable competent role, players that are, versatile
Speaker 1: And That's. HIM that's Bryn forbes i think minnesota has
Speaker 1: a real shot to be a, dark horse Next year
Speaker 1: much like. Dallas was this year loved, these moves, For,
Speaker 1: them all right uh let's look at a you free
Speaker 1: agent signings out there that. Have yet to break let's
Speaker 1: look at WHO and explain what i think. Is going,
Speaker 1: on there number one number one free agent signing that
Speaker 1: we need to know What's Happening. Is probably DeAndre right
Speaker 1: he's the white. Whale of this offseason the big prize,
Speaker 1: that's actually out there, not the trade prize but the
Speaker 1: actual prize that you can go, out and get connected
Speaker 1: probably in some way To What's. Happening With kevin durant
Speaker 1: kevin durant looks like He's probably going TO phoenix from
Speaker 1: what I, hear Today on, tuesday ju july fifth probably
Speaker 1: a three Team Trade given That Ben simmons and DeAndre
Speaker 1: ayton cannot be on. The same roster together there's a
Speaker 1: Lot of Chatter That. Utah wants DeAndre ayden how they're
Speaker 1: going to get him is. Going to be complex who's?
Speaker 1: Getting Picks for who because utah is Gonna want to
Speaker 1: Give Utah's. Gonna want DeAndre ayton sons are gonna want.
Speaker 1: Something For him back kevin durant's. Going to, get, there
Speaker 1: but then okay so what's going to happen with these
Speaker 1: pieces moving? Around LIKE musical chairs so i think this
Speaker 1: is going. TO be really interesting i think another one
Speaker 1: that makes a Ton. Of sense is toronto he would
Speaker 1: Be Amazing in, The, nick nurse scheme like that's exactly
Speaker 1: the kind of. Big man they need They Ended up
Speaker 1: getting christian, coloco IN the draft which, i Liked A
Speaker 1: lot but christian collocal is a rookie and that this
Speaker 1: team wants to contend or, Do Anything of note DeAndre
Speaker 1: ayton would definitely help. Them in, that sense Number Two
Speaker 1: where is colin? Sexton? Going? TO go man. Like i
Speaker 1: Don't know When The cavs signed darius, garland to five
Speaker 1: years one hundred and ninety three million dollars a potential
Speaker 1: to make two hundred and, thirty one million dollars that
Speaker 1: Was Supposed to. Be Colin sexton's deal colin sexton WANTED to.
Speaker 1: Be a max player he ends. UP tearing some ligaments
Speaker 1: i want to SAY, it was a acl but IT
Speaker 1: could HAVE, Been mco and aco and it's an absurd
Speaker 1: contract that no one Thought Two years ago darius garland was,
Speaker 1: Going to get right so That Means, most likely colin
Speaker 1: sexton who has The Same Agent As darius garland, clutch
Speaker 1: Sports Of. Course or rich, paul, you're Gonna Say well
Speaker 1: if darius, garland can get that then we must be
Speaker 1: able to get something in. The neighborhood of that maybe,
Speaker 1: not in the thirties but. Maybe In the twenties anthony
Speaker 1: simon's got, Something in the twenties so. What's gonna happen
Speaker 1: there he's been on a steady downward trajectory. Since his
Speaker 1: rookie year, he MISSED last, year like i, said due
Speaker 1: to injury but especially since the team was, really good
Speaker 1: without Him And they signed ricky, rubio to three, years
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars another underrated signing that. FLEW under THE
Speaker 1: radar i guess i don't know how he fits into
Speaker 1: the scheme of what they want to do unless he's
Speaker 1: going to take, like EIGHT million dollars and i don't
Speaker 1: Think A guy like colin sexton wants to. Make eight
Speaker 1: million dollars executives seem to value him in, around ten to.
Speaker 1: Twelve which is. Wow that is low. That is Really
Speaker 1: low number three carmelo rumor has it he wants to
Speaker 1: come back And play for, the knicks swan. Song don't
Speaker 1: hate it numbers weren't actually That. Bad with the lakers
Speaker 1: in His, final year in portland he had. THIRTEEN four
Speaker 1: and one i think he can be an effective three
Speaker 1: point shooter, fifteen minutes per game. Ten minutes per game does? It?
Speaker 1: Move a Needle no do the nick fans? Really want,
Speaker 1: Him BACK probably not but i would like. To see
Speaker 1: him happy so go. Where you can go carmelo on,
Speaker 1: a veteran free. Agent veteran Minimum Contract number four dennis
Speaker 1: shooter dude is out there dropping Thirty eight points against
Speaker 1: poland Right Now in the world cup qualifiers and still
Speaker 1: can't get A sniff. From an nba team turn down The,
Speaker 1: bag from the lakers which we talked about a. Lot
Speaker 1: on this podcast then he ended up taking the Mid.
Speaker 1: Level exception from boston then He gets sent to houston
Speaker 1: on the, dead at the deadline only to Watch His
Speaker 1: former team boston celtics go to. The finals without? HIM
Speaker 1: can he play i? Think he can? Play? Is he
Speaker 1: answer probably does that mean he would fit In? Perfectly,
Speaker 1: with the lakers absolutely and like they could, get him
Speaker 1: for cheap which is what. They Have to do the
Speaker 1: lakers feel like the best Free Agent. Destination for dennis schreuder,
Speaker 1: crazier THINGS have happened but i like. THAT move for
Speaker 1: him i really. REALLY like that move a couple OF
Speaker 1: other ones that i think are interesting. To Discuss Really
Speaker 1: quickly wancho Ernon gomez aka boat Cruise From. Our movie.
Speaker 1: The hustle possible destination the only one Probably, For. HIM
Speaker 1: is minnesota minnesota i don't know. IF you know this
Speaker 1: i just. Found Out this Today Wan cho got aunt
Speaker 1: Edward's the Role As. Kermit in the hustle he was
Speaker 1: The one lobbying for aunt to play the. Antagonist in
