Speaker 1: Come on on this episode of the Heat Check. It
Speaker 1: is our free agent extravaganza. Rock here on Odyssey. We
Speaker 1: are live from an undisclosed location. I will let you
Speaker 1: know that I am going to Las Vegas tomorrow. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be at Summer League. We're gonna be doing some interviews.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be just tracking down people left and right.
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we are going to break down
Speaker 1: some of these free agents signing some of these trades,
Speaker 1: what they mean for their teams, the underrated ones, the
Speaker 1: overrated ones, and yes, even though they're not free agents,
Speaker 1: that means Kyrie, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook too getting
Speaker 1: packed for Summer League as we speak. Don't look at
Speaker 1: my face. I'm looking them ass Rock my man, drop
Speaker 1: that beat and Bob So I'm trying to look at
Speaker 1: raw I'm trying to look at my notes at the
Speaker 1: same time. It's just not quite the same situation. Let's
Speaker 1: start today's show by saying, today's a good day for
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving to be traded through the Lakers. Let's start
Speaker 1: today's show by saying today is a great day for
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant to be traded to the Phoenix Suns. Let's
Speaker 1: start off today by saying today is a great day
Speaker 1: to see Russell Westbrook anywhere else besides LA. Let's be honest,
Speaker 1: it's not working, and I want to see him suffer.
Speaker 1: I want us to know. I don't. I don't, but
Speaker 1: I do want to know what he does if he
Speaker 1: goes somewhere else. And I don't think he's gonna spend
Speaker 1: one moment in a Net's uniform. I just don't see it. Also,
Speaker 1: the teardown is complete. It's happening. Let's get Donovan Mitchell
Speaker 1: to be the bad guy and request out now like
Speaker 1: it's happening. But before we get started, a couple of
Speaker 1: notes around the league. There's a couple of news items happening.
Speaker 1: Jody Allen, current owner of the Portland Trailblazers. What do
Speaker 1: I say that hasn't already been said? Jody's Selton, damn team.
Speaker 1: We know you don't care about this team. She put
Speaker 1: this tweet out. Let me go look for a real
Speaker 1: quick rock because it is just outrageous. Jody Allen, for
Speaker 1: you to have the goal to say what you said
Speaker 1: makes no sense. This is what she said as chair
Speaker 1: of both the Portland Trailblazers and the Seattle Seahawks. My
Speaker 1: long term focus is building championship teams that our communities
Speaker 1: are proud of. Like my brother Paul, I trust and
Speaker 1: expect our leaders and coaches to build winning teams. That's
Speaker 1: such a shady comment about Seattle and Portland and Free Vault.
Speaker 1: As we've stated before, and neither of the teams is
Speaker 1: for sale and that there are no sales discussions happening.
Speaker 1: A time will come that given changes, given Paul's plans
Speaker 1: to dedicate the vast that's a typo. A time will
Speaker 1: come when that changes, given Paul's plans to dedicate the
Speaker 1: vast majority of his wealth the philanthropy. But the states
Speaker 1: of this size and complexity can take ten to twenty
Speaker 1: years to wind down. There is no preordained timeline by
Speaker 1: which the teams must be sold. Until then, My focus
Speaker 1: and that of our teams is on winning. That is
Speaker 1: such a lie. That's such a lie. Just sell the
Speaker 1: team to Phil Knight by all means, just get rid
Speaker 1: of this thing. We know you don't care, we know
Speaker 1: you don't know anything about sports. Jody, Paul Ellen. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest. Paul Allen never invited one athlete to any
Speaker 1: of his parties. He was all musicians and actors and
Speaker 1: people in the entertainment field. He saw the athletes as
Speaker 1: like something else not to be mixed. Sell the team, Jody,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. As a Portland Trailblazer fan.
Speaker 1: For her to try to tell me she's gonna hold
Speaker 1: my team hostage for twenty years is something I don't
Speaker 1: know if I can stand for. Like that just needs
Speaker 1: to get fixed asap. Rocky, I don't know. Just like
Speaker 1: Brian Windhors would say, what was she saying that for?
Speaker 1: Why would she do that? I don't know. Uh. Moving on,
Speaker 1: I've been thinking more about the Rudy Gobert trade I have,
Speaker 1: and I think while that is a tremendous amount of
Speaker 1: picks that Minnesota had to give up, I'm starting to
Speaker 1: understand that we must trust in Tim Connolly. Tim Connolly
Speaker 1: is the one who identified Rudy Gobert, who ended up
Speaker 1: going to Utah and not Denver. Tim Connolly's first order
Speaker 1: of business is to turn not her. I would say,
Speaker 1: put Karl Anthony Towns in a situation where he doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be what he isn't right, Carl Anthony Towns
Speaker 1: is a four masquerading in a five's body. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want to be the rim protector. He doesn't want to
Speaker 1: have to deal with anchoring a defense and getting in
Speaker 1: foul trouble then limiting his offensive weapon re weapon re.
Speaker 1: He is kind of soft. So to point him in
Speaker 1: a position where he's supposed to be the tough guy
Speaker 1: and the guy who to protect your team bad And
Speaker 1: it shows me that Tim Connelly is all about providing
Speaker 1: Rudy with the pieces that he needs to be successful around.
Speaker 1: So I actually like the move and we'll talk more
Speaker 1: about what Minnesota did later, because I think they might
Speaker 1: be one of the most underrated teams in terms of
Speaker 1: the moves that they made this offseason. And I think
Speaker 1: that they might be a team as a dark horse
Speaker 1: in the West. I know that's crazy to say they
Speaker 1: could be this year's Dallas. I'm saying it now. They
Speaker 1: could be the team that comes out of nowhere and
Speaker 1: makes it to the Western Conference finals. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: insanely difficult to deal with Minnesota. Now first rounders, They're like,
Speaker 1: what do we care? Honestly, we've got first rounders in
Speaker 1: the twenties now, it's not like these are lottery picks.
Speaker 1: There was a new article that came out on ESPN Plus.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it said. If you don't have it,
Speaker 1: It's basically like, if you don't have picks one through fifteen,
Speaker 1: what you have is a bench guy. So are you
Speaker 1: willing to give up five bench guys for a defensive
Speaker 1: player two time Defensive Player of the Year. Yes, overwhelmingly yes.
Speaker 1: Minnesota is not a lottery team anymore. They're team that's
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. They have a really good coach,
Speaker 1: they've got a front office and new ownership group that's
Speaker 1: trying to make them contend or at least make it
Speaker 1: to the second round of the playoffs. Do you think
Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs get you picks one
Speaker 1: through fifteen? Oh sir, it does not. So who cares?
Speaker 1: As they would say in the biz, fuck them picks.
Speaker 1: That's what Lesnied said, Fuck them picks. Let's go out
Speaker 1: and get Obi j. Let's go out and get Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 1: Let's go out and get von Miller, and let's go
Speaker 1: out and get something for those fingers. Let's go out
Speaker 1: and get some for those fingers, folks. So That's really
Speaker 1: interesting to me because for every Bones Highland, for every
Speaker 1: Tyrese Maxi, there are five Zeke Naseis, there are five
Speaker 1: Malachi Finns. And the Golbert trade go Beart trade. Really,
Speaker 1: I call them Gilbert. The Gobert trade really for me,
Speaker 1: is all about Kat and that is something that we
Speaker 1: can talk about at a different time. Is what if
Speaker 1: the Lakers were smart they would do for Anthony Davis. Shocker,
Speaker 1: little hot take that I just thought of right the second.
Speaker 1: If the Lakers cared about their team, they'd trade Lebron James. Yes,
Speaker 1: they would. They would build around street clothes, they would
Speaker 1: build around skin of paper, bones of glass Anthony Davis,
Speaker 1: and they'd find him a big rim protector like DeAndre
Speaker 1: Ayton or Rob Williams or one of those. But they
Speaker 1: won't because they care about money, because they're broke. Like
Speaker 1: all family businesses, the next generation more and more cheap,
Speaker 1: cheaper than the last brock. All right, let's move on. Underrated.
Speaker 1: I can't hear you laugh, which sucks. Underrated free agent
Speaker 1: signings and trades. To me, the most under the radar
Speaker 1: team is Denver, Like they're not the best free agent
Speaker 1: team or signing team. But they're the most like under
Speaker 1: the radar. How much better we don't know, but they
Speaker 1: did make moves. What they did traded Will the Thrill Barton,
Speaker 1: They traded Monte Morris. They got KCP back, who, let's
Speaker 1: be honest, KCP is basically going to step in in
Speaker 1: case MPJ isn't fully healthy. A wing who can get threes,
Speaker 1: who can slap stand in the corner. Not to say
Speaker 1: that's what MPJA does, but you kind of need somebody
Speaker 1: on the perimeter if he's not healthy. They signed DeAndre Jordan,
Speaker 1: low key kind of room protector signing. How much legs
Speaker 1: and knees and ankles does he have? Not sure, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. Just stand there like Hassan Whiteside.
Speaker 1: They also picked up Bruce Brown. Interesting, the laugh delay amazing.
Speaker 1: They picked up Bruce Brown two years, sixteen million dollars,
Speaker 1: and I think that helps him. I think that helps
Speaker 1: him play small ball five. He solidifies Denver as having
Speaker 1: done something like if they wouldn't have picked up Bruce Brown,
Speaker 1: they're basically saying we're okay with getting worse. Right, Denver's
Speaker 1: done something interesting in getting a guy who's very versatile
Speaker 1: he can rebound, he can get assists. He had two
Speaker 1: games in the first round of the playoff where he
Speaker 1: had twenty plus points and he had like almost ten
Speaker 1: rebounds in those games. And you add him to Jamal
Speaker 1: Murray and Michael Porter Junior and a two time VP
Speaker 1: alongside Aaron Gordon, this team could be really, really interesting.
Speaker 1: And they have something now that it's very hard to find. Malleability,
Speaker 1: the ability to shape shift your lineup depending on your opponents,
Speaker 1: the ability to go big or small, or big or
Speaker 1: small that you can't tell with my hands, but I
Speaker 1: did the wrong way. I went small big anyway. I
Speaker 1: think this team is interesting, and I think that it
Speaker 1: shows that they're thinking about the postseason and they're not
Speaker 1: really thinking about the regular season, because you could be
Speaker 1: a four to five seed and still go a long way.
Speaker 1: We saw that with Dallas. We've seen that with teams
Speaker 1: like Portland. We've seen that with teams like Denver in
Speaker 1: the past. He cuts really well, Bruce, he defends really well.
Speaker 1: He can score. Like I said, he averaged fourteen to
Speaker 1: five and three in the Boston series, with twenty three
Speaker 1: and twenty six and two games, up from eight four
Speaker 1: to two in the previous playoffs, and Brown, to me,
Speaker 1: is one of the few signings you can actually tell
Speaker 1: your fan base Listen, we're actually trying to do something.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, this is a move to say we
Speaker 1: have to be more versatile on defense. Bruskins can guard
Speaker 1: one through five when Joki is not on the floor,
Speaker 1: So that's very interesting to me. Number two, Boston Malcolm
Speaker 1: Brogden is a very interesting trade. It helps them immensely.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. If Boston had Malcolm Brogden on
Speaker 1: this team against the Warriors, I think they might have won.
Speaker 1: That's how important someone like Malcolm Brogden is. He's a
Speaker 1: real point guard who can truly play make He can
Speaker 1: be consistent in the perimeter as a scorer. He's a
Speaker 1: really good deep three point shooter. He's decent on on
Speaker 1: ball defense. He's six'. Five he's like what you would
Speaker 1: Want Peyton pritcher to, do but he's gonna get, cooked.
Speaker 1: Right Peyton pritcher became a liability on. Defense Malcolm brogden's
Speaker 1: not a liability on, defense but he can do even
Speaker 1: more offensively Than Peyton pritcher can do because he's much
Speaker 1: bigger and he's just more of a. Right he's very,
Speaker 1: composed he's very. Safe he's a very sure handed late
Speaker 1: game point, guard which is exactly the opposite Of marcus
Speaker 1: mart who makes wildly crazy. Decisions he shoots well from,
Speaker 1: three really sleeped on slept on forty on catch and shoot,
Speaker 1: threes and he's gonna get a huge number of open looks.
Speaker 1: Too he's six,', five physical much more versatile as an
Speaker 1: option than Somebody Like. Peyton pritchard AND like, i said
Speaker 1: this Team with brogden wins it all. LAST year. I
Speaker 1: think i, think so not just because, of defense because
Speaker 1: he has one point eight turnovers per game in his
Speaker 1: career and on a team that literally was averaging like
Speaker 1: twenty twenty playoff turnovers Against The Golden, State warriors like you.
Speaker 1: Need that and he's gonna get a lot of three
Speaker 1: pointers Open With jason Tatum And, jaylen brown and he's
Speaker 1: gonna be able to fill out that kind of guard
Speaker 1: Role Like, derek white but a better three, point shooter. Better,
Speaker 1: defender interesting it's an. Interesting move another number three, Underrated
Speaker 1: Move dante DiVincenzo To, the warriors super, low key under.
Speaker 1: The radar nobody's talking about that very Unhappy. In sacramento
Speaker 1: they tried to get. Him twice it did not work.
Speaker 1: Either time and now we know That the Warriors Want Swiss.
Speaker 1: Army knights and That's what if you look back At
Speaker 1: What dante DiVincenzo Did in Villanova and lenova during his
Speaker 1: time to Win, the chip there very underrated, active defender
Speaker 1: not only on, help defense just off the ball. In
Speaker 1: general gets his hands in the. Passing lanes pesky six,
Speaker 1: y four but with a pretty, long wingspan he, can
Speaker 1: dunk he. Can block we saw that very marquee block that.
Speaker 1: HE had i think it was in the, championship game
Speaker 1: if not in the. Final four he's not as good
Speaker 1: of a Defender As Gary, payton junior but you, know
Speaker 1: What Or gary payton the second but you know it doesn't,
Speaker 1: really matter like this is what you. Could Afford gary,
Speaker 1: payton's gone so how are you going to. Replace him
Speaker 1: he's not as good of a three. Point shooter he
Speaker 1: shoots like thirty three percent, from three but he's much
Speaker 1: better terms in terms of catch and shoot fort on
Speaker 1: catch and, shoot threes and he's gonna be a good
Speaker 1: three and d guy six to four can block, very
Speaker 1: long really really HIGH basketball iq at a time or
Speaker 1: in a place where you have to have a PRETTY
Speaker 1: good iq to run complex Schemes Which golden state wants.
Speaker 1: To run deflects a ton, of balls tracks the ball.
Speaker 1: Really well. Insane motor not a Replacement, for PEYTON but
Speaker 1: i think very. Underrated signing Speaking Of, Gary Payton gary
Speaker 1: Payton to portland. Love it One Makes golden state. Sad
Speaker 1: awesome Two makes damian a littard happy. Even better. Oakland
Speaker 1: Connection gary payton grew Up. In oakland dame grew Up,
Speaker 1: in oakland And those oakland roots. RUN deep i think that's.
Speaker 1: Very important He's a swiss army knife in WAYS that
Speaker 1: i think Shohn he billips is going to be able
Speaker 1: to use in really. Unique situations he's an insane defender
Speaker 1: for how small. He is he's got a, long, wingspan
Speaker 1: pesky definitely someone you don't want to defend you if you're,
Speaker 1: a player, right like that is SOMETHING that i think is.
Speaker 1: Very important you can't understate how good he is as a.
Speaker 1: Role player he defends one. Through five he's a very explosive.
Speaker 1: Athletic roller he can get out, into transition, get steals
Speaker 1: extremely explosive AND when i say he gets steals like that's.
Speaker 1: An understatement he had led the league per thirty six
Speaker 1: in steals two point eight steals per. Thirty six put
Speaker 1: that man in, the game coach on. The BALL like,
Speaker 1: i said he's a. Total pest he was one of
Speaker 1: the MAIN reasons i Think that boston lost, that series
Speaker 1: not just because of, his defense because of his, rebounding
Speaker 1: abilities because of his ability to roll to the rim
Speaker 1: and know where things are going. To develop he's in
Speaker 1: the right spots all. The time he has an knows
Speaker 1: for how. THINGS run, i mean it's almost like his
Speaker 1: dad played professional basketball at a very. High level it's
Speaker 1: almost like that exactly the match you would need to
Speaker 1: play besides game since game plays, no defense and he
Speaker 1: is going to lock, games up dame out up. In,
Speaker 1: PRACTICE boy i can't wait to see something. LIKE that
Speaker 1: i need to know what those practices look like because
Speaker 1: he's going to be. In games asshole inside. Of it,
Speaker 1: number five here's. Another one nobody's. Talking About josha kogi
Speaker 1: To The. Phoenix suns these are like very niche, moves
Speaker 1: right like nobody's really interested in. These PLAYERS but i
Speaker 1: think that they're very interesting and we'll be talked about
Speaker 1: in the season as as like a lynchpin for a
Speaker 1: team that's looking to elevate from postseason success to getting over. The,
Speaker 1: hump right he had a down year last Year Because
Speaker 1: anthony edwards is taking, his spot taking all of. His
Speaker 1: minutes he can, split defenses he can slash from. The
Speaker 1: perimeter he's a really good. Rim runner he has really.
Speaker 1: Good hops he can play above the rim. And dunk
Speaker 1: he can block, really well has a nose for, the
Speaker 1: ball hunts the. Ball down he does some of the
Speaker 1: things that you would hope a Guy like ayton. Would
Speaker 1: do like he's not, a center he's not gonna be,
Speaker 1: a center but he can do some of the Things
Speaker 1: that ayton. Does well because it Looks like ayton's, Gone
Speaker 1: right he's gonna be really helpful if he's using the.
Speaker 1: Right SPOTS and i think the most important thing is
Speaker 1: he's twenty four. Years old he's. Twenty four he reminds
Speaker 1: me Kind of Isaacacoro. In cleveland plays that like, tweener
Speaker 1: role not like exactly a, pure shooter but definitely somebody
Speaker 1: that you want to play An Integral jared vanderbilt type,
Speaker 1: of deal which is exactly the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: he likes. To do and. He's long he's six' four
Speaker 1: with a. Seven feet. Wingspan that's huge and if he
Speaker 1: can get settled, IN the ring i. Mean that's big
Speaker 1: if he can get settled in, THE regular season i
Speaker 1: think he plays important minutes coming. In the playoffs if he's,
Speaker 1: six y four he could play like a four spot
Speaker 1: in a. Small BALL line and i think he can
Speaker 1: still play defense, on you know two three. Fours another
Speaker 1: one Pretty much the wolves. AS a whole i like,
Speaker 1: what They Did but kyle anderson just Ended up departing
Speaker 1: memphis in a way that nobody even is speaking. About
Speaker 1: it all he's kind of Like This. Year's dereck white
Speaker 1: Comes from. The spurs system, very boring, player very slow,
Speaker 1: very light, skinned very fundamental and, you know what, awesome
Speaker 1: role player started a ton Of. Games for. Memphis very
Speaker 1: shifty they Call him slow mo because he literally looks
Speaker 1: like he's, Moving through sand. And that's fine like guys
Speaker 1: who play fast on defense don't know what to do,
Speaker 1: With My. MAN kyle anderson i honestly consider them, The
Speaker 1: Same Person Kyle. ANDERSON derek white i get him confused
Speaker 1: for each other all the time because their. Games are
Speaker 1: similar they both Played for the spurs at around, the
Speaker 1: same time and, you know what they're. Amazing role players
Speaker 1: that's what he's. Going to do he's not a great,
Speaker 1: three point shooter but everyone seems to fall for. His
Speaker 1: PUMP fake and i, don't know why but everybody seems to.
Speaker 1: Fall for it an annoying. Player for defenses he gets.
Speaker 1: His shot off his arms. Are so long he has,
Speaker 1: great body, control great footwork and he's a, really willing
Speaker 1: passer great. AT passing lobs i think that's going to
Speaker 1: be Very Interesting. FOR rudy gobert i think that's going
Speaker 1: to be Very Interesting For. Carling anthony towns really good
Speaker 1: at passing pocket, passes as well, good bounce passer especially
Speaker 1: in tight windows in like. Very packed spaces it's a.
Speaker 1: Solid pickup man he's gonna step right in to a.
Speaker 1: Really good role he had one hundred and sixty one.
Speaker 1: Steals last year memphis was the number one team in
Speaker 1: steels last year and he was second on the. Team
Speaker 1: at steels that is something that they're going to need
Speaker 1: because that was one of the Things that the, wolves did.
Speaker 1: Really really poorly he can handle the ball a little
Speaker 1: well and, he's got experienced. He's very poised he's going
Speaker 1: to Help this, AUST a lot i think. During The
Speaker 1: Playoffs and john, moran, even said like. That's my dog
Speaker 1: i'm gonna. Be missing him and you have to Understand
Speaker 1: that if jaw thinks you're important to, a contending team
Speaker 1: then he's going to help at a very Critical. Juncture
Speaker 1: FOR minnesota And i think minnesota in general actually is
Speaker 1: a team that has made. Multiple good moves Like They.
Speaker 1: Got brn forbes nobody's kind of Nobody Cares, about, brin
Speaker 1: forbes right but he's a good. Spot up, shooter this
Speaker 1: is like we've talked. About this before this is a
Speaker 1: league where you need stars and, you need capable competent
Speaker 1: role players. That are versatile, and That's Him. THAT'S bryn
Speaker 1: Forbes i think minnesota has a real shot to be
Speaker 1: a dark, horse next Year much like dallas. Was this
Speaker 1: year loved these, moves for, Them, all right uh let's
Speaker 1: look at a few free agent signings out there that have.
Speaker 1: Yet to break let's look at who AND explain what
Speaker 1: i think is. Going on, there number one number one
Speaker 1: free agent signing that we need to know what's Happening Is,
Speaker 1: probably DeAndre right he's the white whale. Of this offseason
Speaker 1: the big prize that's, actually out there not, the trade
Speaker 1: prize but the actual prize that you can go out,
Speaker 1: and get connected probably in some way to What's Happening.
Speaker 1: With Kevin durant kevin durant looks like he's Probably going
Speaker 1: to PHOENIX from what i Hear, today On tuesday, ju
Speaker 1: july fifth probably a three team Trade Given that Ben
Speaker 1: Simmons and DeAndre ayton cannot be on the. Same roster
Speaker 1: together there's a lot Of chatter That Utah. Wants DeAndre
Speaker 1: ayton how they're going to get him is going. To
Speaker 1: be complex who's getting? Picks For who because utah is
Speaker 1: gonna Want to give Utah's Gonna. Want DeAndre ayton sons
Speaker 1: are gonna want something. For Him back kevin durant's going.
Speaker 1: To get, there, but then okay so what's going to
Speaker 1: happen with these pieces moving around? Like MUSICAL chairs so
Speaker 1: i think this is going to. BE really interesting i
Speaker 1: think another one that makes a ton Of. Sense is
Speaker 1: toronto he would be Amazing In the, Nick nurse scheme
Speaker 1: like that's exactly the kind of big. Man they need
Speaker 1: they Ended Up getting christian coloco, in THE draft which i,
Speaker 1: Liked A Lot but christian collocal is a rookie and
Speaker 1: that this team wants to contend or do, Anything Of
Speaker 1: note DeAndre ayton would definitely help them. In that, sense
Speaker 1: number Two Where is colin? Sexton gonna? GO man like.
Speaker 1: I don't Know when The Cavs signed darius garland, to
Speaker 1: five years one hundred and ninety three million dollars a
Speaker 1: potential to make two hundred and thirty, one million dollars
Speaker 1: that was Supposed To be. Colin Sexton's deal colin sexton
Speaker 1: wanted TO be. A max player he ends up. TEARING
Speaker 1: some ligaments i WANT to say I, was at acl
Speaker 1: but it COULD have BEEN, mco and acl and it's
Speaker 1: an absurd contract that no one thought Two Years ago
Speaker 1: darius garland was, Gonna get right so that Means Most,
Speaker 1: likely colin sexton who has the Same Agent As Darius
Speaker 1: garland clutch, sports Of Course. Or rich paul, you're, gonna
Speaker 1: Say Well if darius garland, can get that then we
Speaker 1: must be able to get something in the. Neighborhood of
Speaker 1: that maybe not, in the thirties but maybe. In The
Speaker 1: twenties anthony simon's got something, in the twenties so what's.
Speaker 1: Gonna happen there he's been on a steady downward trajectory since.
Speaker 1: His rookie year he, missed LAST year, like i said,
Speaker 1: due to injury but especially since the team was really,
Speaker 1: good without him And They signed ricky rubio to three years,
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars another underrated signing that flew. UNDER the
Speaker 1: RADAR i guess i don't know how he fits into
Speaker 1: the scheme of what they want to do unless he's
Speaker 1: going to take like. Eight MILLION dollars and i don't
Speaker 1: think A Guy like colin sexton wants to make. Eight
Speaker 1: million dollars executives seem to value him in around, ten
Speaker 1: to twelve. Which is wow. That is low that. Is
Speaker 1: really Low number three carmelo rumor has it he wants
Speaker 1: to come back and Play for the, knicks swan song.
Speaker 1: Don't hate it numbers weren't actually that Bad. With the
Speaker 1: lakers in his Final, year in portland he had thirteen.
Speaker 1: FOUR and one i think it can be an effective.
Speaker 1: Three point shooter fifteen, minutes per game Ten minutes per game's. A,
Speaker 1: movie needle No do the nick fans? Really. Want him,
Speaker 1: back PROBABLY not but i would like to. See him
Speaker 1: happy so go where. You CAN go carmelo a on
Speaker 1: a veteran free agent veteran minimum. Contract Number. Four dennis
Speaker 1: shuter dude is out there dropping thirty Eight points against
Speaker 1: poland right Now In the world cup qualifiers and still
Speaker 1: can't get a SNIFF from. An nba team turn down
Speaker 1: the Bag, from the lakers which we talked about a lot.
Speaker 1: On this podcast then he ended up taking the mid Level.
Speaker 1: Exception from boston then he Gets sent to houston on
Speaker 1: the dead, at the deadline only to watch His Former
Speaker 1: team boston celtics go to the. Finals without him? CAN
Speaker 1: he play i think. He can play is? He? A
Speaker 1: cancer probably does that mean he would fit in Perfectly? With,
Speaker 1: The lakers absolutely and like they could get, him for
Speaker 1: cheap which is what they. Have To do the lakers
Speaker 1: feel like though best free agent Desk Donation. For dennis
Speaker 1: schreuder crazier, Things HAVE happened but i like that. MOVE

Speaker 1: shoots forty one percent from three great. Three and d
Speaker 1: wing he'd. Be a decent one he's probably the last
Speaker 1: one that's available Outside Of, outside OF miles bridges which
Speaker 1: i think It's A. Wrap, for miles bridges honestly that's that's.
Speaker 1: The consequence of life but he is only. Twenty seven
Speaker 1: years old i'd love to see Him go Back. To
Speaker 1: miami maybe portland can't wait to see. Where, He Ends
Speaker 1: up Finally Montrez harrell and miles bridges still. Haven't, been,
Speaker 1: signed yet well yeah that's the way. That The cookie
Speaker 1: crumbles montrez harrell WAS pulled over in I, Want, to
Speaker 1: Say kentucky Louisville. Either louisiana Or kentucky Either. Was louisville
Speaker 1: or louisiana bunch of weed, apparently in his trunk. Like
Speaker 1: A lot pounds so i'm not sure how that charge
Speaker 1: is going to, work out for him whether. He's gonna,
Speaker 1: be Playing Interestingly enough Both Charlotte. Hornets and miles bridges
Speaker 1: you can google. What happened with him he got arrested.
Speaker 1: For some domestic stuff no no paydays when you have. Trouble,
Speaker 1: With the law law so. Sad depressing stuff there that's.
Speaker 1: ALL that we, have, I need moves though I need
Speaker 1: moves like i need air because. Let's talk about this
Speaker 1: braun announced HE was signing with La in. Twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: july first kawhi announced he Was Signing with. The clippers
Speaker 1: july fifth it's You can't get past july, fourth without
Speaker 1: huge moves. HUGE signings going, on i need them, need
Speaker 1: THEM like air and. I need them yesterday that's all
Speaker 1: THAT'S all there that i need. To say about that
Speaker 1: so let's move Over Forward to, the kevin durant saga
Speaker 1: because we have, to talk about it. Even though it's
Speaker 1: everywhere it's pretty Surreal To think that kevin durant has
Speaker 1: finally asked, to be traded, Officially, That he, said, hey
Speaker 1: i'm sorry guys this. Thing's not working out is this
Speaker 1: the MOST monumental? Trade in nba HISTORY trade? Request in
Speaker 1: nba history this Would Be like if kobe, bryant asked
Speaker 1: out publicly because we know he TRIED to leave the
Speaker 1: la but nobody knew. Until. After the fact Right, It's
Speaker 1: bigger than Harden It's, Bigger than paul George. It's bigger,
Speaker 1: than kawhi to me the only thing on that level
Speaker 1: would be If you're honest or steph, asked out right
Speaker 1: now and that. Would be absolutely insane and what's nuts
Speaker 1: is That the people in brooklyn And fans of the
Speaker 1: nets just. Don't seem to whatsoever it's like they're so
Speaker 1: scarred of bad things happening to them that It's. Just
Speaker 1: like another tuesday it's just really like. Nothing is. Going
Speaker 1: on you've blipped it's like. You blink your Eye You
Speaker 1: have three all stars and the top fifteen players, of
Speaker 1: our current day and now you. Have zero zero them
Speaker 1: And Then you've got ben simmons and you're hopefully going
Speaker 1: to get some picks back that. Makes Sense For. YOU for,
Speaker 1: kevin durant i mean. This is so unprecedented it literally
Speaker 1: hijacked all a free agency TO the point where i
Speaker 1: think moves aren't Even Being made for DeAndre ayton because
Speaker 1: we know that they're Attached Or connected, to kevin durant
Speaker 1: right and should have been what should have been A
Speaker 1: Discussion about Like bradley Beal or levine or ayton, turned into.
Speaker 1: Just chaos mass chaos wendy reported THAT over half the
Speaker 1: nba has Been Looking, to get kevin durant and that
Speaker 1: was before. Free agency actually began we discussed this as
Speaker 1: a possibility, about two weeks ago and rather than give,
Speaker 1: YOU lots Of speculation i think i'm gonna do something that.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen yet outline really quickly, how we got
Speaker 1: here going, back to twenty thirteen really when. All of?
Speaker 1: This began what began you might ask the same thing,
Speaker 1: that's happening right now the demise And crumbling of the
Speaker 1: nets franchise. As we know it and it's not that
Speaker 1: very long, after they made that the same disastrous trade that. They.
Speaker 1: Do it AGAIN, right it Was Kg, it was Paul Pierce,
Speaker 1: it was Deron Williams, it was Brook Lopez. It was
Speaker 1: joe johnson and if you look back onto, how that
Speaker 1: went down it's pretty informative because history happens once as
Speaker 1: a tragedy. And twice as Farce Because the Second Big
Speaker 1: Three of kyrie katie harden is Connected actually the first
Speaker 1: big three IN, My opinion Of. Kg pierce, and williams
Speaker 1: so okay so set your time machine Back, to twenty
Speaker 1: thirteen bron the first attempt by this franchise to. Build
Speaker 1: a big three they wanted. To, counter. The heat stupid
Speaker 1: stupid you Should Have known that lebron james would go
Speaker 1: somewhere else because. That's what he does he runs from.
Speaker 1: The grind Switches teams So The, Nett Receive, KEVIN Garnett,
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce. Dj white Jason terry celtics received scrubs and
Speaker 1: a bunch, of picks, twenty fourteen twenty sixteen writes to
Speaker 1: swap twenty. Seventeen and twenty, eighteen in twenty Sixteen That.
Speaker 1: Pick becomes jalen, brown in twenty Seventeen That. Pick becomes jason,
Speaker 1: tatum In twenty eighteen the celtics had the number eight.
Speaker 1: Pick in the draft that Pick gets rerouted to cleveland
Speaker 1: as a, part of The Trade. THAT becomes kyrie irving
Speaker 1: i cannot articulate to you how bad that Trade was
Speaker 1: for the nets and how bad this Trade. Is for the,
Speaker 1: nets what Looked like. Well, the hardened trade mostly what
Speaker 1: looked like it Was going To be kyrie and katie
Speaker 1: and a bunch of young players right with a great
Speaker 1: culture turned into no players besides What They, get for
Speaker 1: kevin durant no draft picks besides WHAT, they get for
Speaker 1: kd and a. Whole lot of chaos everyone wants to
Speaker 1: give their take. On who To, blame is It? Kevin
Speaker 1: is It? Kai is it hardened is it? All three of,
Speaker 1: THEM and to me i think you have to look
Speaker 1: back to, how this all began which is the mentality
Speaker 1: of getting. Superstars to win titles if you look at,
Speaker 1: IT as A family i think josaia. Is essentially the
Speaker 1: father he's made His Billions, because Of ali, baba A Chinese,
Speaker 1: company The chinese amazon and jack Ma, currently who started
Speaker 1: alibaba has a net. Worth, of nine billion joseph he
Speaker 1: bought The nets from A Russian oligarch named michael. Prokaroff
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen You probably remember proker off because he
Speaker 1: was the One Who did the joe si thing and
Speaker 1: crashed the nets. The first time around and he did
Speaker 1: this by not only, throwing out huge contracts but by
Speaker 1: making sure those star players get taken care of. In
Speaker 1: every Way possible that's what joe said decided, he wanted
Speaker 1: to do is to make a very concerted effort into
Speaker 1: turning the franchise INTO a funhouse of nba teams to
Speaker 1: attract star players that. Want To Be There cy INHERITAGE
Speaker 1: Sean Marks as gm sean marx was hired in twenty
Speaker 1: Sixteen and told pro kraff. He, Was an idiot yo
Speaker 1: you're an idiot for trying to do. This win now
Speaker 1: thing he saw the franchise implode and hit, just twenty one,
Speaker 1: WINS and he said i was clearing army that if you're,
Speaker 1: looking for a quick fixed guy like He did before
Speaker 1: that i'm not. The Guy For. You Hired, kenny atkinson
Speaker 1: sean marks, he had this slow methodical mentality about how.
Speaker 1: To Build a team the. Nets became A Succeed, they
Speaker 1: had Jared Allen, they had Spencer Dinwiddie, they had Joe Harris.
Speaker 1: They had Kris LeVert he turned Joe Harris into Something.
Speaker 1: Torrian prince D'Angelo russell this team was an. Absolute blast
Speaker 1: to Watch And then when joe side bought The, team
Speaker 1: From proker off win now baby was. Back on the
Speaker 1: table so where do you think? This mandate came from
Speaker 1: Given The fact that sean Marks told proker offf i'm
Speaker 1: not all about. Win Now for, sure joe side right
Speaker 1: and from the, beginning it was like let's go out and.
Speaker 1: Get BIG free agents kyrie kd, came in Twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: even though durant was. Out the full year he. Gets
Speaker 1: his full salary kyrie played twenty games games and then
Speaker 1: went to the, bubble, AND was like yeah i can't.
Speaker 1: Play in the bubble let's. Tart our own league let's
Speaker 1: not even. Go to The bubble KYRIE had Atkinson. And
Speaker 1: kd had atkinson they pushed him out the door because
Speaker 1: they didn't want to. Run wind sprints right just, four
Speaker 1: days before Coronavirus Four days before adam silver, shut down
Speaker 1: The league they Fired Atkinson Four days coach david fizdale said.
Speaker 1: This about the firing when it comes, to players with
Speaker 1: power your front office has. To be really strong your
Speaker 1: culture has to be strong. To weather disgruntled players tell them,
Speaker 1: kids to. Fuck off settle down their little hot heads
Speaker 1: can go sit. In a corner Somewhere We're. Staying with
Speaker 1: kenny atkinson he got. Us to that place, he also
Speaker 1: says this you have to be a certain amount of
Speaker 1: support for your coach. When things get turbulent they wanted to,
Speaker 1: appease those star Players So they allow kenny atkinson to,
Speaker 1: go out the door and then. To choose the coach
Speaker 1: they Chose Their. Teacher in steve nash star players didn't,
Speaker 1: want a hard driving developmentally focused coach when things weren't?
Speaker 1: Smooth from day one how? Could They Be smooth rock
Speaker 1: kevin durant. OUT a full year, kd played twenty. Games
Speaker 1: a pandemic hit what? Are we talking? About no Gelling
Speaker 1: Time as As Kevin durant, and kyrie irving said we
Speaker 1: just didn't have enough time to jel. Give us some,
Speaker 1: time by, The Way fast forward papa joe decides to
Speaker 1: Do the same thing prokaroff had done in twenty. Thirteen
Speaker 1: AS an, Aside like, i Said Prokaroff Said The paul
Speaker 1: pierce kevin garnett deal was one of the biggest business
Speaker 1: regrets he's ever had. In his Whole life, prof a
Speaker 1: russian oligarch when he says a trade is so bad
Speaker 1: that it's one of the biggest things that. Haunts Him at,
Speaker 1: night a russian billionaire. That's his biggest regret do you
Speaker 1: know what type of moves you need and deals you
Speaker 1: need to make in order to Become? A billionaire in
Speaker 1: russia as, my mom would say slit their mother's throat for?
Speaker 1: A loaf of bread do you know what you need
Speaker 1: to do? To be a billionaire that's the, thing he
Speaker 1: regrets most not all of the things that you need
Speaker 1: to do in order to Acquire. The, billions in russia
Speaker 1: nope those five first round picks or whatever it was
Speaker 1: that they had To Give, to the boston. Celtics it
Speaker 1: was that but this is not as bad As The move.
Speaker 1: That joe side demanded so he lets the kids choose
Speaker 1: the teach a, guy who is great a guy WHO'S,
Speaker 1: a two time mvp never coached a fucking, second in.
Speaker 1: His life not once they went from the strongest player
Speaker 1: development coach in the league to a guy who's never
Speaker 1: developed anything outside, of a soccer ball a guy who
Speaker 1: Could Be commentating in. Edmonton oilers, game tomorrow. No shape
Speaker 1: that's facts How Much respect did steve nash get when? He? Ended. The,
Speaker 1: League None zero immediately kyrie IRVING told the world. I
Speaker 1: could be coached i could, BE coached one day. Kd
Speaker 1: could be coached we're, all pretty much coaches, like we're.
Speaker 1: All players former Players who. Cares d'An toni's here he
Speaker 1: lets us. Run everything we. Want it's all good turns out.
Speaker 1: It wasn't all good maybe you don't need a coach
Speaker 1: For A, seven time all star but a guy right
Speaker 1: out Of A, Sec In, Cam Johnson cam smith cam
Speaker 1: smith get. All the camps confused he needs to be,
Speaker 1: told what to do and there's nobody. There to shepherd
Speaker 1: Him Guys like old andre, drummonds Of The world the LaMarcus,
Speaker 1: audiers Of The world the blake. Griffins of the world
Speaker 1: they need coaching to figure out their. Place in the
Speaker 1: ecosystem if they didn't need coaches to figure out their,
Speaker 1: place in the ecosystem and they, could consistently be good they.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be role. Players they'd be stars role players. And
Speaker 1: Veterans Need, coaching if gary payton let, me Ask You
Speaker 1: this if gary payton a second could be and was
Speaker 1: who he turned Out To be With Kenny, atkinson and
Speaker 1: golden state he wouldn't have been sitting on. Any ten
Speaker 1: day contracts He Would have been, gary payton the second
Speaker 1: making ten million dollars a year as a role. Player in,
Speaker 1: this league without that he'd be. Still on his, couch
Speaker 1: in other words, The kids need rules. The kids need
Speaker 1: structure We Saw it when RUSSELL westbrook went to la and. There, was,
Speaker 1: No rules disaster chaos and we know STAR. Players make terrible,
Speaker 1: gms case in point early on, The Twenty Twenty Season
Speaker 1: james harden kevin durant in. The summer start plotting harden
Speaker 1: decides He. Wants Out of Houston kevin durant knows Harden. From,
Speaker 1: days in okay, see as you know and you might think,
Speaker 1: hardens TO blame too But i actually think harden was
Speaker 1: the first one to us out the Things, were BAD
Speaker 1: in brooklyn like i need to. Get out of here this,
Speaker 1: is a Dumpster fire like the titanic. Is ready to
Speaker 1: Go So in our, brooklyn nets Family Analogy think of
Speaker 1: james harden's like the cousin who came to live there
Speaker 1: for the summer and thought maybe he'd stay for the school, year,
Speaker 1: AND realize like no i. Gotta go back home and
Speaker 1: We know how the harden trade went and how it
Speaker 1: all devolved because we've talked, about It a lot but
Speaker 1: kyrie went on A walk about and. Nash had zero
Speaker 1: explanation he Had. Not open to kyrie he didn't say
Speaker 1: there was. Anything wrong with it he was so afraid
Speaker 1: to talk smack about his star player that We All
Speaker 1: knew that steve nash had no idea what. The Right
Speaker 1: moves were kevin durant was. Hurt in that season he
Speaker 1: played only thirty, five regular season games which is Exactly
Speaker 1: how many games. Harden played as well, kyrie sprained his,
Speaker 1: ankle as we know and they were one shoeprint away
Speaker 1: From Going to, the eastern conference. Finals probably the finals
Speaker 1: and that, was the amazing thing right Because The fact
Speaker 1: that kevin durant played fifty three minutes. In that finals
Speaker 1: game is all you need To know about how steve
Speaker 1: nash manages his rotations and how close they came with
Speaker 1: those three at. Least somewhat in jail a lot of
Speaker 1: quick Fixes, trying to get hardened a fix that turned
Speaker 1: out to not be. So, quick after all right fast,
Speaker 1: forward To this season because kyrie doesn't get the vaccination,
Speaker 1: and the state mandates and we don't really need. To
Speaker 1: go into. That, He Only plays also Kevin durant signs
Speaker 1: The Max deal thinking kyrie. Irvings gonna get it he
Speaker 1: signed it Thinking that same summer kyrie and him were
Speaker 1: gonna be lined up with That extensions and that harden
Speaker 1: was gonna be lined. Up, with, an, extension no. No
Speaker 1: baby no no. Kyrie's offer gets rescinded harden pushes, IT
Speaker 1: off and says i need to Wait to see if
Speaker 1: i'm gonna stay. For the school, year, SUMMERTIME still here
Speaker 1: folks i need to just. Sit BACK and Wait and
Speaker 1: i think harden was the only one who saw what,
Speaker 1: the fuck was happening because multiple Times that presser is hardened,
Speaker 1: Saying to the world I'm Going to force kyrie irving.
Speaker 1: To Get vaccinated myself kyrie, irving Comes back, halftime and
Speaker 1: harden's like, This IS fucking outrageous like i don't. Know
Speaker 1: What's going On, andrew wiggins the. Canadian he's Getting, VACCINATED
Speaker 1: why can't kyrie i don't know. What is going on get.
Speaker 1: ME out of here, I need my hookah i, need
Speaker 1: A new jersey and i need to go Up. The
Speaker 1: street to philadelphia. And that's the thing you can't put
Speaker 1: all your eggs in one basket. With no supporting cast
Speaker 1: you can't hire in a knick and his coach and
Speaker 1: expect him not, only to navigate egos, which he did
Speaker 1: okay but also coach of bug vevia young players, and
Speaker 1: veteran minimum retreads and then also be lying to the
Speaker 1: media simultaneous about all the crazy chaos that was. Happening
Speaker 1: behind the scenes So then They Trade, harden for ben
Speaker 1: simmons who's not PLAYED a game in i don't know. Twelve,
Speaker 1: over twelve months now then of course the next flame out.
Speaker 1: In the First Round and now Joe. Sigh's done with
Speaker 1: kyrie why Are You? Done with kyrie irving now you
Speaker 1: did everything to put him in a place to enable
Speaker 1: him to think that HE, could be the gm that he,
Speaker 1: could be the coach that, he cannot play games that,
Speaker 1: he could sit out that he can, go and walk
Speaker 1: about that he could wear no master his sister's birthday,
Speaker 1: party and get suspended all of these things that you
Speaker 1: gave him. The power to do, and now you're like
Speaker 1: he's fucking. Around with my, money and after that it's
Speaker 1: clear that things need to be changed and you need
Speaker 1: to put in some, rules Into The place and kyrie
Speaker 1: irving's not really wanting those rules. To be in place
Speaker 1: daddy wants the kids now. To have a? Curfew can
Speaker 1: they now can you really, blame them for saying we
Speaker 1: haven't had a. Curfew this, Whole time fuck off we'll
Speaker 1: come home when we. Want to come home so? Who's
Speaker 1: to Blame everyone, But Mostly joe. Side Mostly joe side
Speaker 1: because kevin lobbied To Get, Rid of kenny right kevin
Speaker 1: Lobby to Bring, in steve nash right he lobbied to
Speaker 1: trade the whole roster and a bunch of first round
Speaker 1: picks for an out of shape former superstar who you
Speaker 1: don't know if, He can actually perform and then, when
Speaker 1: it goes south he then. Lobbies to be traded but
Speaker 1: you can say no every step of the. Way to
Speaker 1: those things you can say no To, getting rid of
Speaker 1: atkinson you Can, say no to nash you can say No,
Speaker 1: to trading for harden and you can still have. This
Speaker 1: roster in place but what we miss in This all
Speaker 1: is that kevin can't. Actually. Make Those decisions kenny that's
Speaker 1: it's like when a kid gets fat like a like.
Speaker 1: You see childhood obesity do? We, Blame, the kid no
Speaker 1: oh it's the parents giving. The kid the food it's
Speaker 1: the people in place making sure that the kid is
Speaker 1: supposed to. Getting nutrition or not you can't, Have. Cake before. Breakfast,
Speaker 1: kevin i'm, sorry no. YOU cannot absolutely not i don't
Speaker 1: care that. You, really want it No You cannot trade
Speaker 1: jared allen for first and for four First Round. PICKS
Speaker 1: for james harden I don't care that kyrie. Vings on
Speaker 1: walk about we did not. Need another point guard we. Need,
Speaker 1: a rim protector no We can't put on We Can't
Speaker 1: put on DeAndre jordan on our roster for ten. Million
Speaker 1: dollars A year that's when i knew. Things were. FUCKED
Speaker 1: up right, then i was like they get to bring
Speaker 1: their washed friend for ten. Million dollars a year wow do? They?
Speaker 1: Run the team, sesh so to me This Off. Balls
Speaker 1: on joe side, Kyrie's made bad decisions. Kd's Made bad
Speaker 1: decisions SEAN, marks Is The gm but joe side is
Speaker 1: one of the most active decision makers in. All Of
Speaker 1: basketball ownership and joe said should take every. Single bit
Speaker 1: of blame, And You know what joe sige's one telling everyone,
Speaker 1: who has season tickets you're. Not Getting any refunds joe
Speaker 1: SiGe is the, ONE who is saying i have to
Speaker 1: keep some semblance of money for THIS dogshit franchise that i.
Speaker 1: Ran into the ground then nobody even cares about. In
Speaker 1: their own city and at the, End of the day
Speaker 1: he's going to do whatever it takes to preserve the
Speaker 1: value of his franchise and. Keep the money flowing and
Speaker 1: maybe That Means not trading, kevin durant at all and
Speaker 1: maybe that means, Finally saying fuck you where? Does THIS
Speaker 1: all Go somehow i think kyrie makes His, way to
Speaker 1: THE lakers and somehow i think they still. Don't make,
Speaker 1: THE playoffs and Third I think the brooklyn nets will
Speaker 1: be a lottery team for. A very long time and
Speaker 1: they'll won't have their picks until the next, two administrations
Speaker 1: from now, two administrations from. Now Twenty twenty EIGHT rock
Speaker 1: that's When I, can Hear Tillman fertita, the houston Rockets,
Speaker 1: owner laughing in houston All the Way. From district of columbia,
Speaker 1: and you know what turns out the man with the.
Speaker 1: Shrimp forks pretty smart They didn't want any he didn't.
