1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: When did you feel most of the trade by me.

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like this one's probably pretty obvious

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: to you. But after searching for like a really long

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: time to find a nanny to watch my three kids

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: and finally finding that elder Scottish women and growing really

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: close with her, and then finding out that it was you,

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that I've ever felt more betrayed by

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: anyone in my entire life.

9

00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: it's tonight. Well, one of us get drafted. Some of

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: us projected to go late in the first round, maybe

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: early second. So we'll see whether we get drafted, and

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: we will watch the draft together. You can use this

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: as a second screen experience, just us weighing in on

51
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: all the hijinks of the draft.

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 4: So it sounds like you're saying we're watching all sixty

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: picks or fifty eight picks tonight.

54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 5: You know, I would love to.

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: Go in the first round, but I feel like it's

56
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: more of a flyer sort of situation here. Late in

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: the draft, we might have to we might have to

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: stay around in the green room if it happens.

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. Anyway, we'll let least do we'll

60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: probably do the first round at least a lottery again.

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: We'll do a couple hours tonight on playback. That link

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: is in the show notes right now, whether you listen

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: and download the podcast or here on YouTube. Okay, early yesterday,

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: evening news broke about a potential three team trade that

65
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: was gonna send Porzingis to the Celtics. Malcolm Brogden to

66
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: the Clippers and draft compensation and Marcus Mors to the Wizards.

67
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: Blog Posts were written, podcasts were recorded, and then things

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: got a little weird because around ten thirty or so,

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: multiple reports trickled out saying the Clippers were worried about

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: Brogden's medical report, and just like that, a sexy three

71
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: team deal was off. Everybody put their shirts back on,

72
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: grab their keys out of the ball, and that three

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: way was done. But Washington and Boston still wanted to

74
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: make it work, and they had a deadline here at midnight,

75
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: the Zinger would be able to decline his player option

76
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: and become a free agent. The rebuilding Wizards would potentially

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: get nothing for him as an asset. So just when

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: you thought all hope was lost, the Grizzlies create a

79
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: whole new blockbuster. Take it away, Trey Herby, We got.

80
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Our sales a tray.

81
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, antigraphic we do. In the end, we got there, guys.

82
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: This is the three team deal. The Celtics are getting

83
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: Kristaps Porzingis and two first round picks, including tonight's number

84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: twenty five and then twenty twenty four first round pick

85
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: by way of the Warriors. The Grizzlies getting Marcus Smart

86
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: and the Wizards coming out with Tias Jones, Danilo Gallinari,

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: Mike Muscala and tonight's thirty fifth pick tasks. I don't

88
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: know if you want to tackle this team by team here,

89
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: but what was your immediate reaction to this? Did you

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: stay up late last night you see this go down?

91
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: Or did you see it this morning?

92
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: I was excited to see that people were up last

93
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: night commenting about it, because then I could read about

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: it seven hours later, all these takes. Yeah, that had

95
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: to retool right quick because Zinger to the Celtics, the

96
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: Clippers don't want injured players. That's weird. They back out

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: of the Malcolm Brogden part of this. The Grizzlies getting

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: a lot better, having to give up some picks, but

99
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: getting a lot better and than the Washington Wizards everyone

100
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: pooped on. But let's save that for later. Celtics or Grizzlies.

101
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Whatch we start? Let's start with the Celtics. Yeah, I

102
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: think I think they do have some worries here. Knockolm

103
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Brogden comes back. They've got thinner at the guard position

104
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: at Kristaps Porzingis isn't healthy every single season, So it's

105
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: still a little bit worrisome. But they traded a position

106
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: that they were strong at, the guard position for a

107
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: position they were a little weaker at. Al Horford is old.

108
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Imagine Kristops porzingis shooting those threes instead of Al Horford

109
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: come postseason time. You got to be excited about that.

110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: A ridiculously good shooter thirty eight point five percent from

111
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: three last year, stayed on the floor a lot last year.

112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: He has best year. Yeah, and that's overlooked because everyone

113
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: talks about Kyle Kuzman Washington last year and Bradley Beal obviously,

114
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: But twenty three points per game career hi in fieldgal percentage,

115
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: career high in free throw attempts per game over six,

116
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: which is great for a Celtics team that absolutely needs it.

117
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: So that's it's really exciting. You can see plays breaking

118
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: down with the Celtics all the time. Last year, we

119
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: remember where is this play going? Where's this play? You

120
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: could absolutely give it to Chris Apps even in the

121
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: post at times he was actually the most efficient score

122
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: in the post besides Jokic. What so you know, those

123
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: just options are better. So they've got a talent level increase.

124
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: You're relying a lot on Derek White and now Malcolm

125
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Brogden and Peyton Pritchard, but you've got a more balanced lineup.

126
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: Have you lost your heart with Marcus Smart? Yeah, but

127
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: they also didn't have one last year at times either,

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: so I mean also a great point. Yeah, and Grant

129
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: Williams too. This probably means that he's gone with Chrisops.

130
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Porzingis in there, so you get picks, you get Porzingis.

131
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: I think your ceiling is a little bit higher. You

132
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: definitely have a lower floor, I think because Marcus Smart

133
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: would bring it every night. Now you're relying on White

134
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Brogden. But if Zinger is on the floor,

135
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: that's a question mark. If Brogden can stay healthy also

136
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a big question mark. He needs to be there, he

137
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: needs to help out.

138
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: I think there's.

139
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: There's more question marks with the Celtics.

140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: But he got to feel good right the second when

141
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Porzingis is definitely healthy. But he was able to stay

142
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: on the floor last year and he hits deep, deep,

143
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: deep threes. That's a lot of talent, man, They're really talented.

144
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: What do you think of this for the Celtics side

145
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: of things?

146
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: I think I would have liked it better if it

147
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: was Brogden leaving in a trade rather than Marcus Smart

148
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: the way it was originally. But obviously with Prognant's injury

149
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: wasn't gonna happen. We've seen that happen with the.

150
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 5: Players in the past.

151
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: A little injury comes up on a report and it's

152
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: worse for the team who's acquiring him. But I feel

153
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: like the Celtics kind of reached their limit with Marcus Smart.

154
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: He's been there for nine seasons.

155
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: They went to the conference finals a whole bunch of times,

156
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: got two wins away from winning a championship. But we've

157
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 4: heard many coaches say over the course of history that

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 4: teams can get stale, and maybe that's what's happening here

159
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: with the Celtics. So I think they balanced the roster.

160
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: They had too many guards, questionable bigs. With Grant Williams

161
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: likely leaving now, Horford is advancing in the age. Robert

162
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 4: Williams is awesome when he plays, but not a totally

163
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: reliable guy. So I like getting Porzingis. I think he's

164
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: still good. He fits with what they want to do offensively,

165
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: like tass Is saying he's gonna be able to chuck threes,

166
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: and I mean, you got him shooting what you said,

167
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 4: thirty eight percent. You can put Al Horford out there

168
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: as well next to him. He was second in the

169
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: league in three point percentage. There's gonna be five shooters

170
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 4: on the court for the Celtics. They also got two

171
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: first round picks. They're probably gonna have to pay Porzingis,

172
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: which is definitely risky as well. And I think that

173
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to address the leadership void for Marcus Smart.

174
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: The guy's been the heart and soul of their team,

175
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. Of Course, we talk about the

176
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: Celtics melting down a lot of times, so maybe that

177
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: plays into it as well. But he was definitely a

178
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 4: figure head there, and he was also their best passer,

179
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: easily their best playmaker. So I think that that's something

180
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 4: that the Celtics are going to be missing. I like

181
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: the idea of them having more like bread and butter.

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: We can go to a screen and roll Porzingis is

183
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: popping for three, Tatum or Brown is handling the ball.

184
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: I would like to see him get a passer though.

185
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you see a lot of people talking about

186
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: Chris Paul in the stream team eventually making his way

187
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: to Boston. That's a kind of player that could definitely

188
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 4: help Cauz. I don't know, White and Brogden both really

189
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: good guards, but not necessarily playmakers.

190
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys are nailing it out of the bark here.

191
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you've tackled a lot of things that I

192
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: wanted to. I guess the other questions are, and you

193
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: slipped it in here, what does this mean for restricted

194
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: free agent Grant Williams? Is he gone here now because

195
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: of the squeeze of what type of extension you'll probably

196
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: be looking for? Porzingis likely? So this trade really then

197
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: it's Marcus Smart and Grant Williams sort of here for

198
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: porzingis you know these picks and I guess maybe more

199
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: of a prominent role for Peyton Pritchard unless they go

200
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: get another guard, another playmaking guard. Because the other question is,

201
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: are the Celtics gonna like be able to first off,

202
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: just welcome Broggden back into the fold like the guy

203
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: was traded until the Clipper said no, that elbow is

204
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: a mess, and we're hearing Windhorse say it's quite you

205
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: know severe. Maybe this injury that torn ligament in his

206
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 3: elbow here, So does that mean you know, can they

207
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: still move him? Is this requiring surgery? How long would

208
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 3: he be out because of that? So that's that's a

209
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 3: big cue. And then yeah, how do you fill out

210
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: the rest of this roster because I don't think they

211
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: actually are done Brad Stevens here in terms of around

212
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: the edges. But I'm with you on the idea of

213
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: like you can give the ball to kp at the

214
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: end of the shot clock. He can, obviously with his size,

215
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: get any shot up. I mean, it's getting the shot

216
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: up no problem. And yeah, you can post them up.

217
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: I think I saw Pelton say this is something that

218
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: the Celtics just never did with their bigs in Horford

219
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: or obviously the time Lord here Jason Tatum led the

220
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: team in post ups and it was like less than

221
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: one hundred, where Porzingis had like, you know, two hundred

222
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: and thirty plus last year like the Wizards. That wasn't

223
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: an option. That's something you could do with his size,

224
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 3: put him on the block and go to work there.

225
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, to get the two picks too, that's something here.

226
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that's nice. I'm with you. I would have

227
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 3: preferred it being brogged and going out and not Smart

228
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: because of the identity that he brings to this team,

229
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: absolutely and the leadership probably in that locker room. But

230
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: to get the picks back is a nice sort of

231
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: like consolation prize for that.

232
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Marcos Smart has been on the trade block almost every year,

233
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: it feels like, and he just takes it and he

234
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: keeps fighting and the Grizzlies are getting a great player.

235
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: But porzingis is that he's still a unicorn despite being

236
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: in the leaf for a long time. Maybe he's just

237
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: gotten older and been, you know, grown into a comfort

238
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: more comfortable role being a supporting guy. But he's just

239
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: he's really good. I think he's kind of run the

240
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: gamut of being, well, this guy's going to be the

241
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: next one being a really special guy, to now just

242
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: being ridiculously solid. I think it's a fair question to

243
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: ask about his durability. It's still fair even though he

244
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: was able to play was it sixty five games last year?

245
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: Boston asks everybody to move around defensively. A lot switch

246
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: switch this switch, that switch. That's there's going to be

247
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: a lot on him. But like Tray said, you know,

248
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: he can pair him with Robert Williams, you can pair

249
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: him with Al Horford, you can put him at the

250
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: five on his own. So there's lots of options, you know,

251
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: to kind of preserve him if you put him just

252
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: with Robert Williams at times. But the guy can can

253
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: score in the post, especially with four shooters around. So

254
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: there's lots of questions. But I don't know the guard thing.

255
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna rely on Derek quite a lot now and

256
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: he's kind of come into his own, so I'm comfortable

257
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: with that. Last year he played twenty eight minutes per game.

258
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: How long is he gonna play this year, like thirty

259
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: four thirty five? Now that dude has also found his

260
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: role in the NBA, So I think that was a

261
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: part of the thinking here.

262
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: So you don't think you think this is an extension

263
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 3: here that's going to be offered porzingis probably a lower

264
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: salary but longer term security, And you don't see this

265
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: as like a short term sort of like one year rental.

266
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't think.

267
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: So.

268
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they can. They can extend him for

269
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: two more years, right, it's probably the move.

270
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: Starting July first, I believe, yes. And there's there's reports

271
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: like seventy five seventy six, seventy seven million over the

272
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: two years for him that type of extension, which would

273
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: be less than what he makes now, but not just

274
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 3: got a just here.

275
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just got to remember what the salary cap

276
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: is looking like because thirty seven mil. Oh, that's a

277
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 4: lot for Christaps Porzingis. When we're like, man, he played

278
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: so many games last year, sixty five. Yeah, there's concerns.

279
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: I mean there this is a risk for the Celtics.

280
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: Like smart, despite the fact that he's very up and down,

281
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: he played, he gave it his all every single night.

282
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 4: There's a chance you signed Porzingis to an extension and

283
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: he plays sixty five total games in the next two seasons.

284
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 4: He's also got to adjust to being the third guy.

285
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: That is tough.

286
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: It hasn't gone well for everybody that's been the third guy.

287
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 4: And I'm not so sure I like this that I'm

288
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 4: seeing here in the stream. Team people are calling the

289
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 4: new Celtics front court the time Corn front Court.

290
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 5: Time Lord plus Unicorn up and down on time court.

291
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: Okay, where the Celtics gonna start? Do you think do

292
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: you think it's obviously it's Tatum and Brown. I would

293
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: assume Derek White is the point guard right now unless

294
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: Brogden is, you know, magically healed, and then who are

295
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: your You're starting too big? So are you going Horford? KP?

296
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: Are you going? KP? And time Lord and Horford off

297
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: the bench? What are you doing here?

298
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: I think Al Horford comes off the bench. Okay, I

299
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: think it's time he and it's it's good for He'll

300
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: be fresher in the postseason. As Trey said, an incredible

301
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: regular season three point percentage, and then he just fell

302
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: apart a little bit in the playoffs. He is timeless.

303
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: He still looks the exact same, but at some point

304
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: a thirty seven year old is gonna get old. And

305
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: I think that's we kind of saw that. So yeah,

306
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: it's Robert Williams and Porzingis because it helps for saying,

307
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: even though he is a pretty good rim deterrent and

308
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: that's what the numbers say, I think it kind of

309
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: it helps him have Robert Willis, but he's the backup

310
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: five or Horford's backup five. They got great options now.

311
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: So Smart the heart of the team obviously throwed his

312
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: nine years there longest tenured player on the roster, and

313
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: one of the best and versatile perimeter defenders in the league.

314
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: Do you know over the last thirty years most games

315
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: played for the Celtics, If you had to take a

316
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: guess who's at the top of that list with over

317
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: eleven hundred, who would you go? It's not Paul Paul Pierce,

318
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: That's right. And then Marcus Smart's second at five hundred

319
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: and eighty one games than Antoine Walker five point fifty two,

320
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: Rondo five to twenty seven. Yeah, that's a lot of games.

321
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: And then he played over like one hundred playoff games too. Yeah,

322
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: there's that whole effect where he played in just like

323
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: I think he played in the playoffs every single time

324
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: he's been on the Celtics.

325
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: And they were like a twenty five win team when

326
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 5: he joined. Something like that.

327
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: It was almost exactly ten years ago that the Celtics

328
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: traded Guard and Paul Pierce to the Nets in that

329
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: franchise altering deal that brought the picks that turned into

330
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: Tatum and Brown. Stevens hired as a head coach a

331
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: week later. He's coaches one year and then they draft

332
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart with the number six pick in the twenty

333
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: fourteen draft, and yeah, they haven't missed the playoffs since

334
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: he joined this team, and you know, I don't think

335
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: anyone would expect them to miss the playoffs with their

336
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: superstars now. But it's going to be a change. You

337
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: said it here. Tasks like putting Porzingis in because smart

338
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: he was like he was their defense. Really the way

339
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: they could play, the switch ability obviously for a smaller

340
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: guy could play against basically anyone because of his strength

341
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: and smarts and all that. So that's going to be

342
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: different with drop coverage with KP and you know, where

343
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: do you hide him if you are going with the

344
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: two bigs. Can't wait to see it. But they just

345
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: decided we also just can't run. We don't want to

346
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: run this squad back here, and we got too many guards.

347
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: They tried to move Brogden. That blows up and they

348
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: were like, all right, well, I guess we got to

349
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: go with Smart. Then we get some picks back. We'll

350
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: be happy because we still get Porzingis.

351
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Let's move on to I just think they're ridiculously excited

352
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: to have Porzingis shooting the ball as a third option.

353
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: Think about that. I would kind of consider him the

354
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: third option with the Wizards last year with what Kuzma

355
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: was doing. He was third on shot attempts and he

356
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: was ridiculously efficient. This offense is good. I agree his

357
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: numbers a little bit.

358
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, then you play making. Here's the only thing. Okay,

359
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 3: it's one thing to hit your twenty seven foot bombs

360
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: in the first and second quarters. Let's just wait to

361
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 3: see what happens in close games, tight games. The gardens

362
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: rocking focuses to get the ball out of Tatum or

363
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: Brown's hands, It finds his way to kp on the wing.

364
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: He's wide open, and I just want to see if he's,

365
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: you know, got the clutch gene in him. Here when

366
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: it's a little more when the butt holes are a

367
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: little more tighter, Okay, knock it down, you shake. He might.

368
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 5: It didn't go well in Dallas.

369
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: He might. It's funny, right, he puts up these monster numbers.

370
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 3: The Wizards a great season, great percentages, you know, incredible

371
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 3: true shooting percentage. He does protect the room because he's

372
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: seven foot three. How can you not. But like sometimes

373
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: we're like, uh, okay, great state, great stats on a

374
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: bad team, and we sometimes go okay, well, okay, anyone

375
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: can go get basically twenty and nine in this league.

376
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: Let's see you do it on a good team, and

377
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 3: we're gonna find out he probably can, especially as a

378
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: third option. Yeah offensively.

379
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pressure is on the other dudes. Yeah really

380
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: so I think I think they take the pressure off him.

381
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: He played in New York, he was an All Star

382
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: until he got injured. I means he can play with pressure.

383
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: I think you know, he's gone through a roller coaster. Yeah,

384
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great to see him on a good

385
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: team for sure.

386
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Grizzlies. Let's start with you here,

387
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: Trey Marcus, smart, grit and grind goes to the grizz.

388
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 4: The most Grizzlies player who was never a Grizzly up

389
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 4: until now. I think this is this is nice from them.

390
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: I know people are like, why are they adding two

391
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 4: first round picks? Definitely a question, But the first one

392
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 4: is late in the draft this year and the next

393
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: one is Golden State, So I guess there's a little

394
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: bit of risk there. You could be given up like

395
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 4: a sixteenth pick. If Curry gets hurting, things go poorly

396
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: for the Warriors. But basically the Grizzlies are getting jam

397
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 4: Morant insurance for however long he ends up being suspended

398
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 4: this season. Not to mention, Jah has missed chunks of

399
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 4: time with injuries throughout his career as well. They also

400
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: get their Dylan Brooks replacement just right away by getting

401
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: a better Dylan Brooks exact same guy, but Marcus Smart

402
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 4: is just a little bit better at everything that Dylan

403
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 4: Brooks was. And that's one guy. I think it's like

404
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: a real hand and glove fit. He's a grown up,

405
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 4: like Marcus Smart we've been talking about in the playoffs.

406
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: Every year of his career has gone to the finals,

407
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: has played in the conference finals, a beloved citizen of Boston.

408
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 4: So I think it's good to get a guy here

409
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: who's gonna come in and be the vet. And then

410
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 4: you just think about the fact that the Grizzlies now

411
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 4: have the back to back defensive Player of the Year.

412
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: Marcus Smart is the three time Hustle Award winner. They're

413
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: just going to rename it the Grit and Grind Marcus

414
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 4: Smart Awards. So give it to him for number four.

415
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: It'll be weird. I think when John Morant comes back

416
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 4: and the best perimeter players are like six foot four,

417
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: that's gonna be tough, but you got Jaron Jackson Junior

418
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 4: back there to help out. And I think the big

419
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: thing here, the big thing that Memphis was really all about,

420
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 4: is that Marcus Smart's on an awesome contract right now,

421
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: eighteen and a half million next season, then twenty then

422
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 4: twenty one. The two years after that, They're gonna have

423
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: a very expensive big three between Jaw Jared Jackson Junior,

424
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 4: and they're gonna have to pay bane with this new

425
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: CBA coming, you like to have a long, low cost,

426
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 4: controlled contract. They didn't have that with Tyas Jones, so

427
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: they upgraded, they got insurance, they replaced the player that'll

428
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 4: cost you too later picks. I think, so good job

429
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: by the Grizzlies as well.

430
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to be really really excited. It is

431
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: a small market. Cost certainty is a big part of this,

432
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: and Jared Jackson Junior's contract is actually decent when you

433
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: look at it, and it's descending. Grizzly's front office knows

434
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: what it's doing there. RAN's getting paid bained. As you said,

435
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: the money is a part of this. Yeah, they got

436
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: to give up two first round picks, but they had

437
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: four last year. It's like you got to stop picking

438
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: at some point, and you just got to hope that

439
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: these guys come through. They are small, for sure, Yeah,

440
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: but Marcus Matt plays way bigger than his size. We

441
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: know that. And you know, this is an instance where

442
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: they were looking for a three. That's what they've always

443
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: been looking for. They know they got Moran and Bain,

444
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: they know they have Jared Jackson Junior in the front court.

445
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: This allows them, I think, to play Luke Kennard as

446
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: a as a defensive player that teams go at to

447
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: start the season for sure, and then he goes to

448
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: the bench when John Moran comes back, and it's Yeah, Morant,

449
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: Bain and Marcus Smart on the perimeter. It feels like

450
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: a really, really good lineup. I don't think there's really

451
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: any question marks for that on that front. And so

452
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: they get Brandon Clark back and this guy, you know

453
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: I was talking about yesterday, the possibility of going to

454
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: get Draymond Green. There's the rumors out there that the

455
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: Grizzlies were on the list of teams that wanted Draymond

456
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: Green because they needed to correct that locker room. Here's

457
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: Marcus Matt. I mean, that's exactly what they're doing here.

458
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: They things have been going awry the last couple of years.

459
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if he joins the the pregame dance

460
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: that they've done, they probably just get rid of that. Actually,

461
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 1: no more dancing, I don't think more.

462
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: I think we're dancing.

463
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that'll be like a telltale sign. Dylan

464
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 4: Brooks was front and center. You had a lot of

465
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 4: those dances. If they come out for the first game,

466
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: no dancing, you'll see Smart's influence serious time.

467
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: It's serious time, and he'll help there. He'll help in

468
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: the seriousness of it all.

469
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: I think I go back to what you said Trey

470
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: about him on a very favorable deal here about about

471
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 3: twenty million over three years, because even Tyas Jones, like

472
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: the fear was, he's going to start twenty five games

473
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: or so where Moran's out, He's probably gonna play exceptionally well.

474
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: They'll probably be okay. He's gonna make a lot of

475
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: money because he'd be coming up for obviously a contract.

476
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: He's fairly young, Tys Jones is, and it's like they

477
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 3: would have been paying them more probably and that would

478
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: have been an issue, I mean as a backup guard especially.

479
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 3: So Yeah, they're bringing Smart Smart is a playmaker. Obviously,

480
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: it could change like sort of the identity of that

481
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: locker room, maybe get a little more serious in sort

482
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: of plugging and playing for Dylan Brooks there still doing

483
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: the things that Dylan Brooks did do well. I know,

484
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: we like to shit on Dylan Brooks, but he was

485
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: good for the Grizzlies, And so now Smart can do

486
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: that be the point guard. Then he can sort of

487
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 3: slide over and play off the ball, which he's done

488
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: for years here obviously with other talented players in this league.

489
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 3: So it makes sense. I just wonder how like this

490
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: whole thing goes down last night, Like, so they have

491
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: the deal with the Clippers, it's a three team deal.

492
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: It suddenly gets blown up because the Glippers are like, no,

493
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: we don't trust Brogden's elbow. So it's like, is Brad

494
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: Stevens does he already have like a plan be in

495
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: place and it was the Grizzlies and they had already

496
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: talked about it previously, or was this some other deal

497
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: that was already being kicked around and all that like,

498
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: or is it like does he just does Brad Stevens

499
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: just send like a like a chat to the to

500
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: the WhatsApp group, all the gms like, ah, God, anybody

501
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: want to help us out here in this three team

502
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 3: deal here? Anybody went in, anybody went brogged in. I

503
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: was like, no, no thumbs down coming across the what's appened?

504
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: Then suddenly what about smart?

505
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 6: You know?

506
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: Is that how it goes down? I'm just fascinated. I'll

507
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: get them back.

508
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 4: Those three start their own little what'sappen? Yeah, peel out

509
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: been off? Who do you think they have as the

510
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 4: photo for the NBA GNS group chat on WhatsApp.

511
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 5: Jerry West, Yeah, what about just.

512
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: Like a little dollar sign maybe even too, Yeah.

513
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 5: The money or something like that.

514
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should look into that. Any other thoughts on

515
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: the grizz here, Yeah, it seems pretty high on it.

516
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: Well, Yeah, it was interesting just how quickly it came together.

517
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 1: It is.

518
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just like ninety minutes because we had

519
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 3: a real deadline because of the kp opting in or

520
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 3: opting out a whole situation like that was a legit deadline,

521
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: which is sort of fun.

522
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, there must have been conversations in the background that

523
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: have happened beforehand, and not to get into the nitty gritty,

524
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: but I guess the Celtics were sharing their background on

525
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brogden's injuries, right, because usually it's oh, this team

526
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: did a physical after the trade was agreed to. They

527
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: didn't like what they saw coming back on the m

528
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: R M M. Trade him back. We don't want them.

529
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: But I guess I don't know if the Grizzlies just

530
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: got cold feet on their own or if they actually

531
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: got some sort of reports on that elbow. But I

532
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: guess everybody's everybody knows about it from Yeah, everybody knows

533
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: about it from reporters. Like when horses saying the elbow

534
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: is bad.

535
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 5: He's saying they might not be able to trade him, period.

536
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.

537
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: So that's why I get into Boston. Yeah, exactly. As

538
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: for the Wizards, adding Tis Jones obviously the main piece

539
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: coming to them, and then Gullinari and Moose, I don't

540
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 3: think they'll even ever play for the Wizards, I guess possibly,

541
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: but they get Uh.

542
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 5: They're both travish, schlank guys, big slankheads.

543
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 3: The big slank heads. Okay, that's true. Yeah, Look, we

544
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: talked about Jones, was that yesterday when we were doing

545
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: the slop round up, And you know how how a

546
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: lot of teams would want his services as he's just

547
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: brilliant at running a team. He never turns the ball over,

548
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 3: high assist you know, he could score a little. He

549
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 3: gets at it defensively. He's not like on a smart

550
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 3: level like that, but he competes. He's got one year

551
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: left on his deal, then he's a pre agent. But

552
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 3: this is this is really all the Wizards get here.

553
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 3: I mean Beal leaves and Porzingis leaves, and they get

554
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: no first round picks. That's a tough pill to swallow.

555
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 3: I know they're doing the right thing of like blowing

556
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: it up and tearing it down to the to the studs,

557
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: but not a first round pick for either of these,

558
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: like in Beal's case, all NBA players and like sort

559
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 3: of fringe all star guys. That's tough.

560
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 4: That's right deadline last season when he's probably gonna be

561
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: making like twenty something mil.

562
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 5: After the thing.

563
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 4: But the good thing for the Wizards is that they

564
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 4: have their own picks, and they are gonna probably be

565
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: the worst team in the Eastern Conference this season, maybe

566
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 4: in the entire league.

567
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: We'll see how things shake out.

568
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: I think it's very funny that they keep acquiring whoever

569
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 4: is known as the best backup point guard in the NBA.

570
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 4: First it was de lawn Wright, then it was Montey Morris,

571
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: now it's Tiest.

572
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: Those are the three best they got all three.

573
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 4: I love them all, and they're all coming off the

574
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 4: bench for Chris Paul right now as it stands.

575
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 5: But I think actually what the Wizards.

576
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 4: Is doing, it looks very weird to see the Celtics

577
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 4: get the best player and two picks, but the Wizards

578
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: want to be to zero completely. They don't want to

579
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: take on any long term salary, which is the big thing.

580
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: Tias Jones he's off the books at the end of

581
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: next season if they even keep him. Same with Muskala,

582
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: same with Gallinari. If they were getting a player back,

583
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 4: or if they were getting picks back, they're probably taking

584
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: on longer contracts, which they do not want to do

585
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 4: right now. So I think it's a completely starting fresh,

586
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: hoping they're drafting in the top three for the next

587
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 4: couple of seasons. Maybe at the trade deadline you can

588
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: flip Tias Jones for a couple of second rounders or

589
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 4: a late first or something like that. They've got a

590
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 4: ton of cap space to take in contracts during the

591
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: year and then you're getting a first round pick. So

592
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 4: I think it's all right for the Wizards. It looks terrible,

593
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 4: but that's not really a Michael Winger's fault. That's more

594
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 4: Tommy Shepherd's fault.

595
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a chance that Washington. Washington could have

596
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 3: as little as thirty three million dollars on the books

597
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: for the twenty twenty four to twenty five seasons. That

598
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: would be like one hundred million dollars in cap space.

599
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: Like the way they're going, the way they're setting this.

600
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: Up here, those guys would love it, the guys that

601
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: are actually on the books because because those are the

602
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: guys who actually get the money to get them to

603
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: the salary cap floor. Not that that would happen, but no,

604
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: get that money. So those guys get paid.

605
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 3: Here are they gonna keep Kuzma like thirty three million

606
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: dollars a.

607
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 5: Year just giving Bradley Beal's contract.

608
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: Now, how do you think the Wizards have made out here?

609
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: Well, everybody grading this trade, I think in combination with

610
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: the Bradley Beal deal, so that that gets compounded. But

611
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: I think this one in a vacuum isn't as bad.

612
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: It was porzingis on a single year contract. He had

613
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: one more year, and so this is the this is

614
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: the price that people would be willing to pay a

615
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: number thirty five pick they do get here, which is

616
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: almost a first round pick. It's only five picks away

617
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: and and Tyas Jones, So yes, it doesn't have first

618
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: round pick in front of it. But I think that's

619
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: what you know. Bradley Beal deal aside, which was horrendous

620
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: because there are teams willing to give up first round

621
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: picks for Bradley Beal that they couldn't take because Bradley

622
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: Beal said no, I don't want to go there. So

623
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: that looks horrible of course. But in this case, for Kristaps,

624
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: porzingis a guy who is going to leave eventually, who

625
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: could have just opted out and signed somewhere else. Yeah, yeah, yes, he.

626
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: May be told them that. So I'm either like, okay,

627
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: well we better get something back, otherwise he just leaves.

628
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think he wanted to play there. I

629
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: think he wanted to go somewhere and sign a long

630
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: term deal. He's he had the best year of his career.

631
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: He thought that he could get a couple of years

632
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: and he's right. It seems like the Celtics are going

633
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: to give him a couple of years on top of

634
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: the one he had. So yeah, I love pooping on

635
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: the Wizards, especially with the Bradley Beal deal. Again, he'd

636
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: say two first round picks. They say, oh, yeah, that's great.

637
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: Bradley Beel says, hell not, I ain't doing that. So yeah,

638
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: this sucks overall, but they are just trying to get bad.

639
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: It would be nice if they had a first round pick.

640
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, would you have rather the Wizards

641
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: came out last night with the first iteration of this

642
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 3: three team deal, and they would have had I believe

643
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: Marcus Morris sort of as the salary and then the

644
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: thirtieth pick. That's what the reports were. So the late

645
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: first round pick, I mean it was a first round

646
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: or it's not a lot different, I guess than the

647
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: thirty fifth pick in the second round.

648
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 5: But yes, yeah, I get you don't get Tias Jones.

649
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 4: Tis Jones is a better player than Marcus Morris. Also true,

650
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: but there's a reason that was the first deal. Everybody

651
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 4: liked that one more.

652
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, and Tias Jones. Again, it's like

653
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: what Trey said about Monte Morris being the best backup

654
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: point guard going into sort of a starter with the Wizards.

655
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: He'll be fine as a starter, but he has to

656
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: be absolutely the fifth best player on a great team

657
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: to be, you know, a real real difference maker. Everybody

658
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: loves him, but the stats aren't going to be awesome

659
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: in his stats, in his starts, in his start stats

660
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: last year, I mean they aren't incredible numbers. Ten five assists,

661
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: a couple boards in a three and a half per game.

662
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: So that's that's the type of thing that you can

663
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: expect from Tyas Jones, and he could have complimented the

664
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: Grizzlies players. I would have loved to see a healthy

665
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: Grizzlies team as him as the sort of the fifth

666
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: best option because he's a talented guy and everybody wants

667
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: them on their team. But the Wizards are, Yeah, they're

668
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: going to be horrendous.

669
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: So who is the big winner of this three team deal?

670
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: Do you like it? It sounds like you don't mind

671
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: it for all three squads. Really, they all have different

672
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: you know, plans here moving forward as a franchise. But

673
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: you see him, I don't want to put words in

674
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: your mouth, but you're you're high on it for all

675
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: three squads.

676
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 4: I feel like I saw all three fan bases excited

677
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 4: and upset yesterday this morning, so it feels like a

678
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 4: was fine trade to me. I think if I were

679
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 4: going winners in order, it would go Celtics, Grizzlies, Wizards.

680
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 4: But I think the Grizzlies did a good job. I

681
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 4: think the Celtics did a good job. It's risky, but

682
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 4: I think they probably needed to just change things up

683
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: a little bit. And then the Wizards, like they're doing

684
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 4: what people wanted them to do, just not necessarily the

685
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: way we've come to expect it, where you're getting back

686
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: three first round picks.

687
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 5: For all Stars.

688
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: But these were like borderline all Stars. They traded away

689
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: that they had done stupid stuff in the past before.

690
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: Right, So right, all right, well let's hear from everybody

691
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: out there. I know we got the pull up on YouTube.

692
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: Who was the big winner in this three team deal, Celtics, grizz.

693
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 5: Or Whizz with the results right now?

694
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: Sure? Because I put it up early.

695
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's in that order. Celtics sixty four percent of

696
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: people think they're the winner. Twenty nine for the Grizzlies

697
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 4: and six for the Wizard.

698
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: That makes some sense.

699
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: The Celtics got the best player. Yeah, so everybody's gonna say, yeah,

700
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: but Smart's going to be huge, huge for the Grizzlies.

701
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,239
Speaker 3: I think had some other news yesterday because we had

702
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: some players that needed to decide whether they were opting

703
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 3: in or opting out. And uh, the Bucks Chris Middleton

704
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 3: declined his forty million dollar player option, so he will

705
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: be an unrestricted free agent, though a lot of people

706
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: think this just means he will be signing with the

707
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: Bucks on a sort of a longer term, cheaper deal.

708
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: Is that what you think you're Oh.

709
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: He turned down forty He must know something that, yes,

710
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: the Bucks are going to say, here we go. It's

711
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: going to help us a lot if you take a

712
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: cheaper deal. Actually, even for this coming season and for

713
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: following seasons, I think you gotta worry a little bit

714
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: about him physically. He had knee problems all last year.

715
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: Then he had minor knee surgery on that same knee

716
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: after the year, but he did come back and he

717
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: did have a good postseason, So they probably just know

718
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: that he's healthy. Even though he's going to be thirty two.

719
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: He is part of their future plans, as I've said

720
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: a billion times, because I thought it was interesting him

721
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: and Yanistitch Kompo were taking all the interviews. They're interviewing

722
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: everybody and including being in on the Adrian Griffin search.

723
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: Those two guys specifically on their roster. So he has

724
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: to be part of the future. And yeah, I guess

725
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: he's just taking the lower number because it benefits both

726
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: sides and it's good for him. He is, He's a Buck.

727
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: It felt like Marcus Smart would be a Celtic forever,

728
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: and it feels like Chris Milton's going to be a

729
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: Buck forever.

730
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: Any thoughts here, TK, Yeah, I assume he's going back

731
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 4: to the Bucks and has some kind of a wink

732
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 4: wink in place, because when you look at teams with

733
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 4: cap space, it's like the Rockets and the Jazz could

734
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 4: beat a forty million dollar offer. You could see a

735
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 4: reason to have Chris Middleton on either of those teams.

736
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 4: But I haven't heard him come up as one of

737
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 4: the vets that the Rockets are after, and it doesn't

738
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 4: feel like the Jazz want to make that kind of

739
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 4: an improvement right now, spend all their money there so

740
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: the tea leaves definitely say it back to the Bucks,

741
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 4: especially the way Adrian Griffin and John Horst were talking

742
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: at their first press conference, basically praising Chris Middleton and

743
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: Brook Lopez as well as huge parts of what the

744
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 4: Bucks have built. And then Hollinger mentions, looking at what

745
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 4: Chris Middleton could sign, a four year deal in the

746
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: one hundred million dollar range will be the equivalent of

747
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: a three year sixty million dollar extension, but could save

748
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 4: the Bucks tens of millions of luxury tax in twenty

749
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 4: three to twenty four.

750
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 5: So that seems to make sense to me.

751
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 4: Something four for one hundred, maybe three for ninety if

752
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 4: they wanted to line up more so, the same with

753
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 4: Janni Santa to Counpo. Twenty five million for a thirty

754
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 4: five year old at the end of the deal not terrible,

755
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 4: I don't think, especially with the cap rising and rising.

756
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: If they come out with that twenty five million for

757
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton, that's really really good, and in my opinion,

758
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: him doing the franchise a bit of a favor. I

759
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: think he deserves more, even still coming off the injuries.

760
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: I was shocked to see what he did against the

761
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 3: Heat in the first round. I had forgotten all about

762
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: how well he played. Maybe it's because they just got

763
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: sort of surprised by the Miami heat, obviously, the eight

764
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 3: seed upsetting Giannis, who was out for a little bit

765
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: in the Bucks. He ever just twenty four, six and

766
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: six and thirty five minutes a game, shot forty six

767
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: percent from the field and forty from deep. Did we

768
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: talk about Chris Middleton once in that series in all honesty,

769
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: and like that sort of sums up Chris Milton his

770
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: entire career. It feels like he's really really good, great numbers.

771
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: You don't talk about him a lot. He is the

772
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 3: Ferris Wheel, as we call him. He has those like

773
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: crazy sort of highs and these are just pretty steady otherwise.

774
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: But man, if they get him for twenty five million

775
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 3: per year, even for four years, that's I think it's

776
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 3: going to be more than that would will still be less.

777
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 4: Than maybe like sure thirty million a year ish, Yeah,

778
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 4: because he he is good.

779
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you're just hoping he bounces back from the injury.

780
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: Did he start to decline a little bit defensively? You

781
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: know it's sort of similar, you know, he's not on

782
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 3: the same level, but people think the Celtics were moving

783
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 3: off Marcus Smart because they started to see a little

784
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: bit of a decline on that end. As he gets

785
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 3: up there in age. It's the same things start going

786
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 3: to happen with a guy like Middleton. Maybe, but he's

787
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 3: gonna stay with Milwaukee. It'll just be whatever number they

788
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 3: agree to.

789
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: Here, he's the best available for them. Even if they

790
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 1: were even if they were to say, now we don't

791
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: watch you, we're going to go look at a free agent.

792
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: Middleton's the top of the free agent class at a

793
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: wing position to help, and he was underutilized in that

794
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: playoff series. The only time he really came up was

795
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: when it came to the end of the games when

796
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: they were, you know, tossing the ball away and throwing

797
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: it off people's head. And it was easy to look

798
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: at that and just say, put that ball in the

799
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: hand of Chris Middleton and let him run some picking

800
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: rolls with the Anstadt goopbo he was was Mike Budenholtzer

801
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: just wasn't using him enough as as they were falling

802
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: apart in that series. So, yeah, he got a question.

803
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: He's thirty two injuries, sure, but they must know that. Yeah,

804
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: he's he's ready to go.

805
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: And then we had another guy decline his player option,

806
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 3: Nuggets Bruce Brown. This wasn't really a surprise, only six

807
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: point eight million dollar player option that he declined, so

808
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: he becomes an unrestricted free agent. He was obviously great

809
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: explosive off the bench for the Nuggets championship run. He

810
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: averaged eleven four and three last season career highs. So

811
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 3: there are two options for Bruce Brown here. He can

812
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: return to Denver on a contract that starts at about

813
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: seven point eight million with the player option in year two.

814
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: That's the maximum he can sign with Denver because he

815
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: has non bird rights and Denver is a tax team,

816
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 3: so this would allow him to establish early bird rights

817
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four and signed for a contract then

818
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 3: north of twelve million dollars. As Bobby Marks put it,

819
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: this would be the Bobby Portis type deal that he

820
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 3: did with Milwaukee. Pretty funny that Bobby Portis was even

821
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: commenting on that said he changed the game, just like

822
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 3: Kat could have been ant the night. Or Bruce Brown

823
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 3: can sign with a team that has cap space or

824
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: with the twelve point two million dollars non tax mid

825
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 3: level and you have to keep in mind here, Bruce

826
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 3: Brown has not made a lot of money in his career,

827
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: like fifteen million career, because of where he started and

828
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: how he got into this league. So what But then

829
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 3: we heard at the championship parade, I mean, Mike Malone

830
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 3: basically like he's not going anywhere, gave it a mere

831
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, yeah, okay, maybe, but it will

832
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: be on this sort of you know deal. It would

833
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: be on a hell of a deal to then sign

834
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: a longer contract like Bobby Porters did with Milwaukee. Do

835
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 3: you think that's what Bruce Brown does with the idea

836
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 3: of like we could go back to back, maybe we

837
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 3: have a dynasty here. I'm an instrumental player in that.

838
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: Or does the guy just take a paycheck from another

839
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: team he'd probably get twice.

840
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: That was Michael Malone drunk or not? The answer is yes, yes, yes,

841
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: That's when I knew he was drunk when he wasn't

842
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: contemplating the salary cap ramifications for Bruce Brown. I hope

843
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: he comes back on a one year deal and then

844
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: they say in twenty four to twenty five, pay the man,

845
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: especially because the cap keeps going up. But also, yeah,

846
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: they're paying guys. You know, their top four is getting paid,

847
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: as we've said, so it will be difficult. I guess

848
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: he ends up taking a bigger contract from somewhere else.

849
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: That would be my guess who. But I do want

850
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: to see him give him a The winkie wink that

851
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: the Bucks have with Chris Middleton could be happening with

852
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: Bruce and.

853
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 5: It happened with Bobby. Yeah.

854
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I love the idea of the Bobby Portis contract,

855
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 4: but I think it's gonna go the other way. I

856
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 4: think Bruce Brown's gonna leave for a check somewhere. Even

857
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 4: the non tax mid level exception is only twelve point

858
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 4: four million, he could probably get more than that. I

859
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 4: would imagine four teams, Rockets, Jazz, Spurs and Thunder.

860
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 5: They all have money. She could see him on literally

861
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 5: all of those teams.

862
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 3: Wow, I guess Spurs, Y Spurs, like.

863
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 5: Alongside Wen Bin Yama and Sohan. That's cool.

864
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 4: Thunder if they want to like take another leap forward.

865
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 4: He's young enough that he fits in there and a

866
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 4: little bit of veteranship. Same with the Jazz Rockets. Seems

867
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 4: a little more far fetched, but there are teams. All

868
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 4: those teams, I think could talk themselves into Bruce Brown,

869
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 4: especially considering the rest of the free agency class. Then

870
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 4: you look at what the Nuggets have done since making

871
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 4: the finals. Suddenly they have the twenty ninth pick, the

872
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 4: thirty second pick, and the thirty seventh pick, which are

873
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 4: all swings on trying to replace Bruce Brown, trying to

874
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 4: find the next Christian Brown. Apparently they're hyped about this guy,

875
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 4: Peyton Watson Tassa saw dunk at the Finals in a practice,

876
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 4: So it looks like they're trying to find their Bruce

877
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 4: Brown replacement for even cheaper.

878
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I totally agree. And you said, those teams that

879
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: want to take the next step, it's not like they're

880
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, harming themselves financially by signing Bruce Brown. It's

881
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: like twelve, thirteen, fourteen dollars for a great glue guy.

882
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: That's a great deal, and Bruce may may have to

883
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: take it just yeah, for the next few years he

884
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: makes extra dough. I know it's tough to leave.

885
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that'd be a tough decision in all. Honestly,

886
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 3: like if like like a lot of us think, man,

887
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: they could definitely win another championship, if not more, with

888
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 3: their structure with the MVP type talent they have, do

889
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 3: you want to leave that? Like you're a beloved guy

890
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 3: already and like man, but then again, like if you

891
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 3: got double triple the salary and the ring, you already

892
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 3: got the ring. Yeah, man, that's tough stuff. We'll see

893
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 3: what Bruce Brown does. This is for these sickles only,

894
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 3: just a quick trivia question. Anops out Bruce Brown. Opso

895
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 3: what's the what's the link between those two guys? No,

896
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 3: I mean a link loosely, but what is the common thread?

897
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 3: Sickos only?

898
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 5: They were both Detroit Pistons. That's it.

899
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 3: I wanted you to go one step further. Both the

900
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: second round picks big stuff.

901
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 5: I was like, did they they didn't cross over on

902
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 5: the pistons.

903
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

904
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 3: No Middleton twenty twelve, Bruce Brown twenty eighteen. But good stuff,

905
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 3: second round picks, both of those guys. You keep that

906
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 3: in mind tonight when you're watching the second round. You

907
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 3: can find yourself Chris Middleton, you can find yourself a

908
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown.

909
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 5: You can find yourself in Nikola Jokic.

910
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: Damn right or or Casada?

911
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 5: What was it case Arita?

912
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 4: I actually went to taco Bell last night wearing a

913
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 4: Jokic shirt.

914
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 3: You went after the pickup run.

915
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, buddy, Wow.

916
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 5: Families out of town save its special time.

917
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: I mean every time I drive home from basketball and

918
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: passing the taco you and I always want to get

919
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 4: home see my wife give her a hug. But she's gone, baby,

920
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 4: I said, so, you're hugging Burrito Retos Loco Tacos Supreme.

921
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so made a mistake drinking a.

922
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 4: Big old mountain dude though at eleven o'clock at night,

923
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 4: No wonder that.

924
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 3: I was watching Avatar last night.

925
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to work out a cramp in the

926
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: second half of the show. Possible, you know, you know

927
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: it's actually I love I love that move. Wife's out

00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: of town, go to just go. Yesterday Danielle saw this

929
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: taco place that we had been wanting to go to,

930
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: and she said, all right, I'm doing it. She came

931
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: back with a bag of tacos and stuff. They ended

932
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: up being like Taco Bell tacos without the feeling of

933
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: going to Taco Belle expensive. Probably, yeah, probably I would

934
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: have rather pulled that off. Can't wait untill she goes

935
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: out of town from over.

936
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 5: Like eleven tonight.

937
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 4: If you want to want to hang out, we're gonna

938
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 4: make a run for the border to live, play back together,

939
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 4: eat some Taco bell.

940
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: Why not? All right, we gotta take a break, and

941
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: what when we come back, We're gonna look ahead to

942
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: tonight's NBA Draft. I got some questions for the guys

943
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 3: and all of you. Don't go anywhere.

944
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: Dave Grisham.

945
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 4: If you want the first half of that statement. Some

946
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 4: people are Dave to four, but everybody's Dave Grishaan.

947
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 3: JD. Y'll know we're coming back and this guy continues

948
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 3: to keep going anyway. We are just hours away from

949
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,479
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty three NBA Draft. Highly encourage you all

950
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 3: to join us tonight on playback at eight pm Eastern.

951
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 3: Taco bell will be consumed while we watch the draft.

952
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 3: That link is in the show notes. Now a lot

953
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 3: can change between now and then, but most of the

954
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 3: mock drafts still have it one, two, three, go in

955
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: wemban Yama to the Spurs, Brandon Miller to the Hornets,

956
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 3: and Scoot Henderson to the Blazers. The latest intel, just

957
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: to set this up, Anthony Black is getting buzz as

958
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 3: high as number six, where the Jazz could be targeting

959
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 3: a trade. Apparently they really want Anthony Black Derek Lively

960
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 3: the second's draft range, that's one to watch. He told

961
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 3: the media the other day that he doesn't have a promise,

962
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 3: like he doesn't have a team telling him where he's going,

963
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 3: and that his draft range, he said, this is anywhere

964
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 3: from ten to twenty. So we'll see if he goes

965
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 3: to the MAVs or if that picks moved, or if

966
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: he goes further on. Cam Whitmore could drop as far

967
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 3: as number nine to again potentially the Jazz there that's

968
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: where they are right now, or to number ten at

969
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 3: the MAVs. Grady Dick had a last minute workout with

970
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 3: the Pacers. They have the number seven pick, and the

971
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 3: Nuggets did trade up into the first round. They acquired

972
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 3: picks numbers twenty nine and thirty two from the Pacers

973
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: for number forty there so they're in here at the

974
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 3: end of the first round. They're going to try and

975
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 3: get some more young, cheap talent to fill out the

976
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: rest of their roster, try and find another Christian Brown

977
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 3: or Watson and something like that. As they move forward

978
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 3: and try and repeat the Ringer. They had their NBA

979
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 3: Draft entrance survey. They had some fun questions I thought

980
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 3: in it, So I pulled a few your answers, guys,

981
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 3: TK get a started here. Which draft prospect are you

982
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 3: irrationally obsessed with? Who do you love?

983
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 4: Well, Okay, I'm gonna throw this one out there. Obviously,

984
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 4: Victor Webbanyama is very exciting. So I feel like, yeah,

985
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 4: I'm loving every single detail I hear about this guy's life.

986
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 4: Brian Winhorse was just on the Bill Simmons podcast basically

987
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 4: like talking about Vic's background. Apparently it's like buddies with

988
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 4: Michael Douglas the actor.

989
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 3: The actor, he's like.

990
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 4: Seventies, but they're like close friends or something like that.

991
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 4: The trainer that trained Victor Wembanyama showed him pistol pete

992
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 4: and and won mixtapes to build his handle, Like those

993
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 4: are the coolest videos that I've ever existed in basketball.

994
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 4: So I'm loving, like every detail I'm hearing about this guy.

995
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 3: Already, he did say too, I thought of you task

996
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 3: Did you see the clip where he uh weemen Yama

997
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: was at some school They brought him in a bunch

998
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 3: of kids were getting them to ask questions and a

999
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: little girl got up, how tall are you? He said?

1000
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 3: I knew I was gonna get this. He said he's

1001
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 3: seventy three. Yeah, really he's stuck with seven three. He

1002
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 3: didn't say some four the seven five we're hearing that's

1003
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 3: what Vic said.

1004
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: I thought he'd give it in centimeters, like like a

1005
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 1: good metricsis Yeah, so is he pulling a Kevin Durant

1006
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: doesn't want to say he's seven to five is a

1007
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 1: new seven foot but I agree. I didn't think i'd

1008
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: like him anymore, but hearing him talk do everything, he

1009
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: was cool on the JJ Redick podcast.

1010
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 3: He's cool.

1011
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: He's wise, behind his beyond his ears. So it's not

1012
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: surprising that he's buddies with Michael Douglas.

1013
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 4: What what So weird? But yeah, also very funny. Hearing

1014
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 4: Brian Woodhorst describe Victor Wemeron as cool.

1015
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 5: I don't know how to say it.

1016
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: He's just cool, but you know it's it's true, like

1017
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 3: to be that tall and also be cool. It's pretty rare,

1018
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 3: you know, like Andrea Brannani was not cool. I would

1019
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 3: not say porzingis is cool. I mean, yao, Ming is

1020
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 3: cool in a different way, but not really cool as

1021
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 3: a personality. Uh, you know, Sean Bradley, know, you know,

1022
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 3: you go through the list. I don't know how cool

1023
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 3: Mark Eaton was. Ralph Sampson, I think he's.

1024
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 5: Cool.

1025
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 3: That's a good one. It's a good one.

1026
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, the real combination of height, end, cool and talent.

1027
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 4: As for other prospects that are out there, Cason Wallace

1028
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 4: is the one for me, Kentucky point guard. I think

1029
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 4: he's fourteenth on Sam Vestini's big board the Athletic. He's six',

1030
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 4: three he's got a six nine. Wingspan he plays exactly

1031
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 4: Like Drew. Holliday AND i don't know what's happened to,

1032
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 4: me BUT i Saw Cason wallace take A Drew holiday

1033

1035
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 4: in the, way gets bumped, back but he has enough

1036
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 4: quickness and enough hand eye coordination to actually like poke

1037
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 4: at the. BALL i was, Like, damn Only Drew holiday

1039
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 4: And wallace is able to do. It he's, inconsistent it,

1040
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 4: seems uh as a scorer and as a shooter, perhaps

1041
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 4: which is also kind Of Drew holiday. Themed so that's

Speaker 1: The Dallas. Mavericks everyone's, saying just a monstrous big was

1137
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:28,040

1141
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: i mean the fit is almost too obvious if The

1142
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: Dallas mavericks want this. GUY i Know Dwight powell has

1143
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,919

1145
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:58,400

1146
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,000

1152
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: mavericks that's who he came in, for which is seems

1153
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: really weird to say, that but he, was you, know

1154
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: with The. Celtics but he got traded there and they,

Speaker 1: doesn't shoot, it uh the first stretch, five but he

1161
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: could just do the things that The MAVs, want as,

1162
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: in never shoot. Again he just just set picks For,

1212
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,960

1213
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 4: offer a future. First they've got a few of those

1214
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,439

00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 4: BAT i think he would be one of the first

1240
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 4: guys to get a flagrant foul for flopping because he's

1241

00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 3: yes will it happened at This at this, POINT i

1255
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 3: feel like, no, Unfortunately but, man that's the one we

1256
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 3: want to see because it'll be really weird after tonight

1257
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 3: if they just Take Scoot henderson And Damian lillard still

1258
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 3: there and then they're just going to Resign grant And. Cool,

1259
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 3: NO i hope. NOT i hope. Not it'd be fun

1260
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 3: if it's a big, blockbuster, obviously if It's, zion if

1261
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 3: It's All star, trade, man something something big to pair

1262
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 3: With Damian lillard and for that other team to get

1263
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 3: possibly A scoot at number three and maybe A simons

1264
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 3: or Is sharp. INCLUDED i, MEAN i wouldn't want to

1265
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 3: move off. Him IF i over The, Blazers i'd want

1266
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 3: to keep. Him but you, know if It's, zion then

1267
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 3: you're got to ask yourself is that worth? It SO

1268
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 3: i want to see. THAT i don't. Know it felt

1269
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 3: like it was gonna happen for a, while and now

1270
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 3: it feels less and less likely it's gonna. Happen but

1271
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 3: that's how we sort of go with these.

1272
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 4: Things the screens are smoking are smoking this, week which

1273
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 4: would be a bigger deal If zion gets traded anywhere

1274
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 4: likely to The, blazers or If Damian lillard gets traded

1275
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 4: away from The. Blazers top seventy five guy all, time

1276
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 4: top five hyped guy coming into THE nba all, TIME

1277
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 4: i think it's.

1278
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 3: DAM i think it would Be dane because like the

1279
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 3: hypothetical of him being, moved be it To, miami To New, orleans,

1280
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 3: whatever whatever squad he's going, to it's like they could

1281
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 3: Be he could make them a championship. Contender good. Point,

1282
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 3: whereas even If zion were to come to The blazers,

1283
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 3: tonight are we gonna be here tomorrow? Morning Going Blazers

1284
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 3: upper they're gonna take down The. NUGGETS i don't think

1285
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 3: we would. Be it makes them, better BUT i don't

1286
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 3: think they've become automatically a top five championship. Contender that's my.

1287
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 3: Opinion Like zion And dame you, THINK.

1288
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 4: I, KNOW i think the resulting team Of lillard getting

1289
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 4: traded definitely will be better than If zion was Joining.

1290
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 4: Lillard BUT i think That zion being traded as a

1291
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 4: number one, pick as a guy who was like seen

1292
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 4: as a generational superstar coming INTO i think that's a

1293
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 4: bigger transaction just out, there trading a number one pick

1294
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 4: this early in his, career especially a guy that we've

1295
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 4: seen dominate when he's on the. COURT i don't know

1296
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 4: it'd be like And be getting traded kind of after

1297
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 4: His rookie of The year season when he played thirty

1298
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 4: one games in three years or.

1299
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 3: Whatever, yeah it's.

1300
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: True i'd say bigger immediate basketball impact Is, lillard but

1301
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: bigger internet Packed. Zion there's gonna be some some crazy

1302
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: tweets flying around, Here Zion, williamson you know from a

1311
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,920

Speaker 4: draft was saying it is locked in, one, two, Three

1313
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,360

01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 3: here where they finally make a sort of a move

1353
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 3: with one of their bigs here Like capella Or, collins

1354
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 3: and wear that fifteenth. Pick that'll be my.

1355
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Predictions trey Mentioned Travis schlank, earlier what he did to that.

1356
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Roster you, know looking at it, now IT'S i Know

1357
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: Quinn snyder's GONNA i THINK i believe In Quinn snyder

1358
01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: doing well with that. Roster but you just look up

1359
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: down where guys are, paid how much they're paid for

1360
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: a mediocre. Team trey getting, forty and then guys in

1361
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,280
