Speaker 3: Come on, let's move on to the news though, as
Speaker 3: we start, just like any other.
Speaker 2: Podcast in the last two years, we have to start
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn, don't we. The news around the league the
Speaker 2: past week is that Kevin.
Speaker 3: Durant is headed to Boston or that there are rumors
Speaker 3: that the Boston Celtics have offered This part is crucial.
Speaker 3: They have offered Jalen Brown to the Nets in exchange
Speaker 3: for others as well, and also Jalen Brown plus others
Speaker 3: plus picks. Jalen Brown is the centerpiece of this proposed
Speaker 3: proposed from Boston side trade Jalen Brown, Derek White multiple picks.
Speaker 2: The Nets have apparently.
Speaker 3: Rejected this pick, this offer because it's the moon and
Speaker 3: the stars and the earth and the wind is only
Speaker 3: required for our man Sean Marks GM of the Nets.
Speaker 3: And we can thank Rudy Gobert again for bad things
Speaker 3: happening in our world of NBA, because if it wasn't
Speaker 3: for Rudy, this deal probably would have been done. The Internet,
Speaker 3: of course freaks out over this, but to me, the
Speaker 3: move makes sense for both teams right. The Nets, of course,
Speaker 3: are adamant about getting an all star back in return
Speaker 3: for their package for Durant and for the Celtics coming
Speaker 3: off of the finals run, facing a very a certain
Speaker 3: Eastern conference where you could have gone to the finals
Speaker 3: and may never be back. Like the Toronto Raptors, your
Speaker 3: window might be open and then it might be shut.
Speaker 3: Because the Bucks are here. They got Joe Ingles to
Speaker 3: help them in their title run. Of course, that's a
Speaker 3: piece on top of Chris Middleton, on top of Drew Holliday,
Speaker 3: on top of oh, I don't know his name's Jannis
Speaker 3: Onto Takoumpo.
Speaker 2: They also very huge transaction. I forgot to mention.
Speaker 3: The Bucks recently this week have signed the fourth Onto Takoumpo,
Speaker 3: so the dynasty is complete. All five stone, all four
Speaker 3: stones to the Thanos Glove are intact. All the Onto
Speaker 3: Tokumpo's will be sharing one hotel room together on the road.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be tremendous.
Speaker 3: So you can expect more Onto Takumpo's putting their slapping
Speaker 3: their hands on the court, being amazing role players as
Speaker 3: Jannis continues his dominance.
Speaker 2: So that's happening.
Speaker 3: The Raptors are getting better with Scottie Barnes leading them
Speaker 3: the way. We've got the Cleveland Cavaliers, by the way,
Speaker 3: they were the one seed for most of the year
Speaker 3: until Ricky Rubio got injured. They have a million seven
Speaker 3: footers on that team and they have a plethora of guards.
Speaker 2: They're not going away. I think they're getting better.
Speaker 3: If the Chicago Bulls get healthy and they take another
Speaker 3: step with Dale and Terry as their point guard in
Speaker 3: the future, maybe they move on from Kobe White, maybe
Speaker 3: they figure out a way to get Colin Sexton. They
Speaker 3: are taking another step we've got Obviously Miami isn't going anywhere.
Speaker 3: Philadelphia makes a move with PJ. Tucker and Daniel House
Speaker 3: running it back like the Houston Rockets of twenty sixteen,
Speaker 3: which I think is tremendous for a lot of reasons.
Speaker 3: They didn't go out and get Eric Gordon as well.
Speaker 3: So if you are the Celtics, you make this move right.
Speaker 3: You have to, because if you can get Kevin Durant
Speaker 3: and make sure this window is as wide open as
Speaker 3: you can stretch your little arms or your long arms.
Speaker 2: If you're Robert Williams, as long as you can stretch
Speaker 2: your wings span out, that's what you do. You must do.
Speaker 2: The Celtics.
Speaker 3: Throwing the dice on Kevin Durant is a win now move,
Speaker 3: especially considering the fact that Jalen Brown is needing to
Speaker 3: be extended in two years. You've already floated his name
Speaker 3: out there in trade talks. How does he feel about that?
Speaker 3: If that deal doesn't get done, maybe that's a poisonous
Speaker 3: little pill that you made for your own self and
Speaker 3: your own little cup and drink. It tells you I
Speaker 3: don't have it today. I like, I know I would
Speaker 3: possibly be salty if my name was thrown out in
Speaker 3: a trade rumor and it didn't end up getting done,
Speaker 3: and it's like, well, you didn't think you didn't think
Speaker 3: I was enough. I only outperformed Jason Tatum pretty much
Speaker 3: every single game of the finals. Why not throw Tatum's
Speaker 3: name out there?
Speaker 2: Why not him?
Speaker 3: He was the one who wasn't any good in the finals?
Speaker 3: Come see it comes off right. Jalen walks to the
Speaker 3: beat of his own drum, so I'm not sure if
Speaker 3: he actually feels that way. Still very bold move from
Speaker 3: the Celtics. I love it the thought to me of
Speaker 3: Tatum and Kevin Durant together, can anyone stop those wings?
Speaker 3: You've then got Marcus Smart. Still, you still got my man,
Speaker 3: Malcolm Brogden went healthy.
Speaker 2: If healthy, You've got Rob.
Speaker 3: Williams, who's an absolute baller. He's only gonna get better.
Speaker 3: You still have role players on this squad. I mean,
Speaker 3: we've seen super teams before, but I don't know if
Speaker 3: two front court scorers like this can be stopped. No
Speaker 3: double teaming either, especially with the lobre threat there in
Speaker 3: Rob Williams, could be an absolute bloodbath.
Speaker 2: They immediately become the top team in the East.
Speaker 3: If it's Kevin Durant, Jason Tatum, Malcolm Brogden, Marcus Smart,
Speaker 3: Rob Williams, al Horford Grant Williams like Peyton Pritchard.
Speaker 2: What come on?
Speaker 3: So oh and by the way, the Hawks got better
Speaker 3: with de jon tat Murray. The East is stacked, listen stacked.
Speaker 3: Keep in that mind, though, that this news broke after
Speaker 3: Shams and Woad's reported that it was getting more and
Speaker 3: more solid that Kevin Durant was going to stay in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: So the Celtics were like, let's.
Speaker 3: Just try to put our pieces there, because we know
Speaker 3: they don't want that. That's not an ideal scenario. You
Speaker 3: don't want to have a player on your team who's disgrunted,
Speaker 3: who's asked for a trade and you did not give
Speaker 3: him said trade.
Speaker 2: And of course Katie.
Speaker 3: Is busy tweeting about hypothetical matches between different eras because
Speaker 3: why not still not backing away from that trade request,
Speaker 3: still continuing to stand firm in that, And the Nets
Speaker 3: cannot settle for less because Rudy Gobert and Danny Ainge
Speaker 3: and the Jazz move makes anything less look really bad.
Speaker 3: Even though that was a fleecing, everyone around the league
Speaker 3: knows it's a fleecing. Does it make Minnesota a lot better?
Speaker 3: Of course it does, But still it's a shitload of picks.
Speaker 3: If I'm the Cadi, if I'm the Celtics, on thousand percent,
Speaker 3: I do this trade thousand percent. I don't care that
Speaker 3: Kavin Durant is older. I don't care that Jalen Brown
Speaker 3: is a young star.
Speaker 2: If you can keep one.
Speaker 3: Ball handler alongside Tatum and Katie, you are the team
Speaker 3: to beat. On top of the fact, you don't have
Speaker 3: to have Marcus Smart as your primary ball handler anymore.
Speaker 3: Because we know that Kevin Durant does this. He does
Speaker 3: this every day, all day in crunch time. We've seen
Speaker 3: him do that for the last decade with Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3: Even was the ball handler, primary ball handler at times
Speaker 3: with Golden State, was the primary ball handl aler at
Speaker 3: times with the Brooklyn Nets, even last playoffs when they
Speaker 3: got swept to the Boston Celtics, he was the primary
Speaker 3: ball handler. That was the old point that he was
Speaker 3: getting double team because he always had the ball in
Speaker 3: his hand. He had to go off ball and that
Speaker 3: created all kinds of issues. That's been his role. And
Speaker 3: then immediately, like I said, makes the Celtics the team
Speaker 3: to beat. Plus all those picks don't matter. You're talking
Speaker 3: about it. If you get four first round picks for
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant. Who cares like this is you've got young studs.
Speaker 3: Tatum is in his twenties. As long as Tatum's there,
Speaker 3: those first round picks are gonna be in the late twenties.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna have any lottery picks. What are you
Speaker 3: talking about? So do it make it so, basketball gods, make.
Speaker 1: It back
Speaker 2: Money Day.
