1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: The volume. All right, Well, god to Hoops tonight. 2 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 2: You're at the volume heavy Wednesday again, everybody, as our 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 2: trade deadline continues to just get weirder and weirder. I 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: was talking with Jackson before we started recording. Not a 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: Luka Doncic type of just earth shattering move that comes 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: out of nowhere, but I think this might be the 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: weirdest trade deadline that I've seen since I started covering 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: the league four years ago. Anthony Davis is now Washington Wizard, 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: Jared McCain is now with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kobe 10 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 2: White is now with the Charlotte Hornets. Who knows what 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: that means? And Chris Paul got moved in a salary 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 2: dumping trade for the Toronto Raptors. As they said, oshag 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: boggy and a pick to the nets. We're gonna break 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: down all those trades briefly from the perspective of all teams. 15 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: You guys have the Joe before we started to hoops 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: and YouTube channels. You don't miss any more of our videos. 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: Make sure you like this video. That helps us a lot. 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: In last, but not least, you want to get mail 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: back questions into our mail bags. Drop them under this 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: video in our other full episodes, and we'll get to 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: them in our mail bags throughout the throughout the rest 22 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 2: of the season, we're gonna be doing a trade a 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: trade mail bag in all likelihood on Friday. All right, 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: let's talk some basketball. So let's start with the ad trade. 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 2: The Wizards get Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell, and 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: Dante Exum. The MAVs get Chris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malechi Branham, 27 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: Marvin Bagley, the third, two first round picks and three 28 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: second round picks. Kind of a bizarre move for Washington. 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 2: I liked the Tray Young move because it didn't cost 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: them anything. You take a flyer on an established star 31 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: you don't really have beyond Keishawn George, like a much 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: of a young player that's like super prevalent on the 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: ball that you're trying to develop as a foundational type 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: of player. And Keishan's you know, exciting, He's got some potential, 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: but I don't think view him as a foundational guy either. 36 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: So you take on Trey Young, you provide all of 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: your young off ball players like Trey Johnson and Alex 38 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: Sar a guy that can set them up with advantages, 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: which is a real value add and then Trey Young 40 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: becomes a free agent in the summer of twenty twenty seven, 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: So when you're deciding whether or not you have to 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 2: start paying your young guys, and it like black cool 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: of Bali's in that twenty twenty seven, summer twenty twenty 44 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: eight is when you really got to start paying all 45 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: these guys, right, So, like, if Trey Young is around, 46 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: and then in summer of twenty twenty seven, you're like, 47 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: time to start paying everybody. 48 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: We don't want Trey Young anymore. You let Trey Young go. 49 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 2: Right, and there's no real you know, opportunity cost that 50 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: you're missing out on there. The AD move is more 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: damaging in the sense that they're sending out so much 52 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: draft compensation. It's interesting from a basketball perspective, and we'll 53 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 2: get into the reasons why. And like, as a basketball fan, 54 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: you bet your ass, I'm excited to watch Anthony Davis 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: and Alex Sar play defense together, or Anthony David and 56 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: Trey Young as a duo, I'm super excited to watch that. 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: And anytime we see talent going from the Western Conference 58 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: to the Eastern Conference, I think that's good for the 59 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: league because there's a huge talent deficit between the two conferences, 60 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: and having another interesting playoff team next year in the 61 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: Eastern Conference is certainly going to make it more fun 62 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: to watch. But as I look at Washington and they 63 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: have some young players that I really like, those of 64 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: you guys have been following the show for a while 65 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: know that I've been a big fan of Trey Johnson. 66 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: I just think he fits the mold of the modern 67 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: NBA off ball scoring guard right. And then Alex Sar 68 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: has all sorts of potential as a two way player 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: and a defensive foundational piece. I've got a lot of 70 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: excitement for some of these guys in Washington. The AD 71 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: move just makes it a little bit tougher down the 72 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: line if you want to be flexible as you're building 73 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: around the team. So let's dig into that concept just 74 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: a little bit. So AD salary is fine, that's a 75 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: non issue. He could theoretically come off the books in 76 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: the summer of twenty twenty seven if he opts out 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: at the latest the summer of twenty twenty eight, so 78 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: that's not going to be an issue. Paying Trey Young 79 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: and Anthony Davis as you're trying to figure out what 80 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: to do with paying your younger stars, your younger talent 81 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: coming up through the organization. Right, but we're sending out 82 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 2: a lot of draft compensation here, you're sending out two 83 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: first round picks in three second round picks. That can 84 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: be an issue as you start to look into team 85 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: building in the coming years. Again, we've seen a lot 86 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 2: of examples of this in recent years. A team feels 87 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: like they're close, they go trade for an ogn Andobi. 88 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 2: Suddenly they're in the conference finals. A team feels like 89 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: they're close, they go trade for a Pascal Siakam. Suddenly 90 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: they're in the conference finals. Then they're in the NBA Finals. 91 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: A team feels like they're close, then they go make 92 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: a move for you know, even just Oklahoma City making 93 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: a move for Alex Kruzer right now. They didn't use 94 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: draft picks for that. But the point is is, like 95 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: you've got assets on board. You have these young players 96 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: that pop, three or four of them kind of pop 97 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: and show some fit together, and then suddenly you're like, wait, 98 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: we got something here. What's the one thing we're missing? 99 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: And you don't know what it's gonna be. Until you 100 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: get a little further down the line and it's like, shit, 101 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: if we get like an awesome six' eight dude that 102 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: can defend a knock down, threes we're in a great. 103 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: Spot or, like oh, man if we get like a 104 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: like a power forward with some size to put next 105 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: To Alex, sar now we're in a great spot moving. 106 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: Forward or, man we just really need an awesome backup 107 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: guard or, something or just a really good, shooter you, 108 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: know like whatever it, is you find out what you 109 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: need and then you pounce right and when you pounce 110 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: it can be. Expensive utah looked at their situation and 111 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: they were, like, man we Got Keyante george and we 112 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: Got lori Marking. In let's pounce On Jarren. Jackson three 113 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: first rounders. Right The Orlando magic are, like we just 114 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: need a really good shooter to. Pair and it's been 115 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: tough because of the, injuries Especially Franz wagner this, year 116 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 2: But Desmond bane himself has helped in a ton of 117 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 2: ways for first. Rounders Mikhael bridges for The knicks a 118 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: haul of first round, Picks like there's a version of 119 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: this story Where washington hits on a bunch of these 120 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: guys and they need to go make some additional moves 121 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: to tie this all, together and you're limiting your ability 122 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: to do. So, now as far AS i, UNDERSTAND i 123 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: Think washington would still have eight first round picks over 124 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 2: the coming. Years so it's not like, you it's not 125 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: like you don't have any flexibility to make those kinds of. 126 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: Moves but what if you need to make two of 127 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 2: those kinds of. Moves what if you have really expensive 128 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: young players and you need to build through the draft 129 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 2: and you need to find role player talent in that you, 130 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: know you, know middle to the late portion of the 131 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: first round a couple of years from. Now, Right LIKE 132 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: i just, thought for what you're trying to do, here 133 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: it's a lot of expense for a team that's gonna 134 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: be fun FOR us basketball. Fans but, Like i'm not 135 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 2: sitting here thinking That Trey young And Anthony davis are 136 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: about to go dominate The Eastern. Conference but that being, 137 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: Said washington did. It they put all these picks on the. 138 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: Table they Got Anthony. Davis so let's talk a little 139 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: bit about the basketball fit and how that can. Work, 140 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: now as far as The Alex Sar Anthony davis, piece. 141 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: TOGETHER i was talking about this yesterday With Jaron jackson 142 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: And Walker, Kessler but having a kind of a dual 143 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: rim protector look is something that can be devastating in 144 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: several different looks for a. Defense whether it's you're in 145 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: a two three zone setup and you've got these two 146 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: really lanky athletes that can cover ground on the back 147 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: line that can give you a viable zone. Look whether 148 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: it's you, know deep drop coverage and having a bunch 149 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: of rim protection at the, basket whether it's using An 150 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: Alex sar to blitz ball handlers and force them into 151 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: tough over the top passes to start four on threes 152 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: and There's Anthony davis on the back line that's covering 153 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: that ground or vice. Versa, right that lowman dynamic that 154 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: we talk, about, LIKE i think Having Anthony davis And 155 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: Alex aar together is going to be an extremely strong 156 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: defensive foundation that's gonna be a blast to. 157 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: Watch. 158 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: Right The Trey Young Anthony davis offensive fit this IS 159 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: i talked about this when we were talking About Damian 160 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: lillard And Janna Santana. Kombo to, Me Trey young is 161 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: an entirely different class of passer Than Damian lillard is 162 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: So Damian lillard brings something That Trey young struggles, with 163 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: which is switch. Beating dame is just so much better 164 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 2: as like a one on one score before His achilles. 165 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: Hair obviously Then Trey young, was and So Trey young 166 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: kind of has to operate in traditional pick and roll 167 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: coverages where teams are running drop coverage so that he 168 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: can get off of his primary defender and work in 169 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: the you, know mid range or hit pull up threes 170 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: when guys die on screens and unlock all of the passing. 171 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: Reads so good at lob pass lob passes to rollers 172 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: or to cutters along the baseline and kicking out the. Shooters, 173 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: right there's all of this passing. Utility With Trey, young 174 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: he can just struggle beating, switches, Right and that's where 175 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: you know having a guy Ling Anthony davis will be. Helpful, 176 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: Right like If Trey young And Anthony davis run a 177 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: ball screen and there's a, switch you pitch it. Down Anthony, 178 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: davis he punishes that ball. Screen that was the dynamic 179 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: we were expecting to see With Trey young And Kristops 180 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 2: porzingis before both of them just were completely unable to 181 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: stay on the floor this year for The Atlanta. Hawks 182 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: but on the offensive end of the, floor there's a 183 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 2: ton of utility. There Trey young is a brilliant. Passer 184 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: so The Trey Young Anthony Davis chwuo man game when 185 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: teams are running traditional coverages is going to result in 186 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: a lot of, lobs a lot of good looks For 187 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: Trey young and drop, coverage a lot of great kickout 188 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: passes to the weak side for guys Like Trey johnson 189 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: to knock, down catch and shoot. Threes that all is 190 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: gonna work wonderfully against. Switching i'd Argue Anthony davis is 191 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: even a little bit more reliable as a switch beater 192 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: than krisops, porzingis simply because he just has a lot 193 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 2: more talent that he can go to athletically in those. Spots, 194 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 2: Right so there's a lot of offensive. Utility, defensively you 195 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: want to have a ton of rim protection behind a 196 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: weak defensive. Backcourt we talked about this yesterday with respect 197 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: To Keyante Georgian'sphima. Kailu right, like you have the worst 198 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: defense in basketball In, utah the only team in THE 199 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: nba that's allowing over one hundred and twenty points per hundred. 200 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: Possessions you anchor them with all sorts of rim protection 201 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: so that at least you can give those guys a 202 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: simple job to be ford, aggressive force guys to drive 203 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: into all of your. Length, right that's the kind of 204 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: dynamic you're trying to build, here, right except for you've 205 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 2: got the layers of defensive. Talent Anthony davis by, himself 206 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: he's a serviceable defense just by. Himself trust, ME i 207 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: watched it for years with The. Lakers just him by 208 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: himself can build a serviceable. Defense you Add Alex, sar 209 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: that's a force. Multiplier you Add Bilakula, bali that's a force. Multiplier. Right, 210 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: like that's where it gets to the point where this 211 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: team could be pretty special on the defensive end of the. Floor, so, like, 212 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: again as a basketball, fan you bet your. ASS i 213 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: want to see. IT i want to See Trey young 214 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: And Anthony davis play. TOGETHER i want to see their 215 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 2: two man. GAME i want to See Anthony davis And 216 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: Alex sar playing defense together Alongside. Blakulabali this is going 217 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: to be fun to, Watch BUT i don't feel like 218 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: they're a legitimate championship, contender not unless some of these 219 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 2: young guys start really popping in a big way and. 220 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: Fast Anthony davis is about to turn thirty three In, 221 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: march and he has consistently had issues with his body 222 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: that it looked like he was starting to. Conquer they're 223 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: in that twenty twenty four season with The, lakers and 224 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: then twenty twenty five comes, around he breaks down. Again 225 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six comes, around he breaks down, again and so, 226 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: LIKE i actually Liked Anthony davis more for the, teams 227 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: similar to The Golden State warriors that had literally no 228 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: chance to do anything in the long, run so they 229 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: had no choice but to invest in the. Moment Right 230 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 2: like for The, warriors they could afford to take a 231 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: chance on an aging star because they've got an aging 232 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: star of their own In Steph curry that's about to 233 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: turn thirty. Eight they don't have a foundational young. Player 234 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: they're destined to be the team that's taking on salary 235 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: for picks and shit for like two or three years, 236 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: Anyway so why the hell not If Anthony davis comes 237 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 2: in and pulls his growing muscle, again you're in the 238 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: exact same spot that you were in before The Anthony davis. 239 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: Trade which is not good enough to win the title 240 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 2: and destined for a. Rebuild right if that happens To, 241 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 2: washington If Anthony, davis you, know like obviously you're not 242 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 2: a playoff team this. Year let's say next Year Anthony 243 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: davis deals with more injury issues and unable to play 244 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: in the. Postseason all of a, sudden you're going into 245 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: the following year With Anthony davis going to be turning thirty. 246 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: Five and now you're looking at having spent three second 247 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: round picks and two first round picks For Anthony, Davis 248 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: and now all of a, sudden you got to start 249 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: paying your young, guys and all of a, sudden you 250 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: need this one specific type of, player and you're a 251 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 2: little bit less able to go out and spend in 252 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: the draft and or in trades to try to increase 253 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 2: your talent on the. Roster SO i, again as a basketball, 254 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: FAN i want to see. IT i just don't really 255 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: understand the. Logic From washington's, perspective it kind of feels 256 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: like spending for the sake of spending and building a 257 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: Mediocre Eastern conference team at a pretty high costs with 258 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: no real kind of like benefit in the long run 259 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: to your. Team SO i was just a little confused 260 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: by that.

Houston now 333 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: it's a twenty twenty six first for a team that's 334 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: going to probably be a top four or five seed 335 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 2: in The Western. Conference so it's not gonna be the 336 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 2: earliest first round pick in the. World it's going to 337 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: be a later first round. Pick but you had a 338 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: first round, pick and you get three second round. Picks 339 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: so that's a decent little return For jared, McCain who 340 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 2: was already looking like a guy that was on the 341 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 2: outside looking in in this rotation in light of the 342 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: rise OF. 343 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: Vj. 344 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: Edgecombe, right he's a shooter for a team In Oklahoma 345 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: city that could use, shooting specifically the ability to hit 346 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: more under duress types of. Shots So jared McCain over 347 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 2: his last thirty one, games because he got off to 348 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 2: a little bit of a rough start this, year but 349 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 2: in his last thirty one games he's shooting forty percent 350 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: on all. Threes he is forty four percent this season 351 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 2: on unguarded catch and shoot. Threes so he's like a 352 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: nails knockdown guy for a team that really only has 353 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 2: one In Isaiah, jones or excuse, Me Isaiah, joe you're 354 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: adding a second one. There but What jared McCain brings 355 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 2: to the table is additional movement. Shooting so like great 356 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 2: pull up shooter out of ball screens when he comes 357 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 2: off of a pick and roll and someone dies on 358 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: the screen or goes under shooting fifty three percent this 359 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: year on pull up threes out of ball, screens four 360 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: for seven out of off ball, screens so when he 361 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 2: curls out of off ball action four out of seven 362 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: this year from three for, three slipping out of action 363 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: as the. Screener so when he runs up and sets 364 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: an inverted pick or a guard guard pick and he 365 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 2: slips out to the three point, line we've Seen, okay 366 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: see you run that a lot With Isaiah, Joe, Right 367 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 2: Like Isaiah joe comes up screens For shay just slips 368 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 2: out of it to the three point. Line this just 369 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: gives you another guy who can do, that and especially 370 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: in the short, term because we've got the report That 371 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: shay Gives alexander has an abdominal strain and he's going 372 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: to be out till at least the end of The 373 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 2: All Star, break maybe even a little bit. 374 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: Longer we'll. 375 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: See at this, point you're not getting the seventy, wins 376 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: and you're not about, to you, know drop out of 377 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: the number one seed unless things get really really, bad, 378 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 2: Right so there's plenty of time to just kind of 379 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: Let shay get one hundred percent. Healthy this is another 380 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 2: guy that can help them create advantage in the half. 381 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: Court this team really right now can only create advantage 382 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 2: through defense to transition sequences and dribble. Penetration but If 383 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: shay's out And jay dubs, out you basically got aj 384 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: as your only dribble penetration, guy and the defense to 385 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: transition sequences can only carry you so far against a 386 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: team that actually takes care of the basketball and can 387 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: score a little. Bit so Having jared McCain is another 388 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: guy who can come off of an off ball screen 389 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: and hit over forty percent of his threes and dictate 390 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 2: the types of coverages that will get the defense and 391 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: rotation and unlock some advantages For. 392 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: Oka. 393 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 2: SEE i think that'll even have some additional utility in 394 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 2: the coming. Weeks while shake Yos As alexander is out 395 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 2: of the, Lineup philly gets some draft compensation and clears 396 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: their rotation a little. Bit shams was also talking about 397 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: how it's going to help them Retain Quentin grimes potentially this. 398 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 2: Summer so makes some sense For. Philly get a haul 399 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 2: of draft picks and you clear out your rotation a little. 400 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 2: Bit jared McCain is a good young, player but he's 401 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: not like a, foundational oh my, god we're trading away 402 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: the future type of. Talent this deal makes some sense 403 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: for both. Teams Kobe white gets, Traded So charlotte Gets 404 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: Kobe white And Mike Conley. Junior The bulls Get Colin, 405 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 2: Sexton Usman jang and three second round. Picks on The bulls, 406 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: front we figured they'd start moving guards here pretty, soon 407 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 2: and they have three second round. Picks is a nice 408 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: little return for a player that you were going to 409 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 2: let walk for. Nothing those are the kinds of picks 410 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 2: that you package three you can get a decent role 411 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: player in this. League we've seen it a bunch of 412 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: times over the. Years The lakers THAT i root for 413 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: did it last year For Dorian Finney, smith, Right so 414 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: you turn the guy who were gonna lose for nothing 415 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: into a haul of draft picks that you can turn 416 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 2: around and move for a valuable role player at some 417 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: point down the. Line for The, hornets it's kind of 418 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: interesting because on the one, hand in the short, term 419 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: it's all in on offense for just a pretty well 420 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: rounded scoring. Guard this guy who ran three hundred and 421 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 2: ninety one pick and rolls in ISOs this year generated 422 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: three hundred ninety one, points so one point per. Possession 423 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: we talked about that this. Morning we were Discussing James 424 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: harden a point per possession on half court shot creation 425 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: data is a pretty good benchmark for what is considered 426 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: like a good action for your team to. Run and 427 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 2: then he's also got quite a bit of shooting ability 428 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 2: deadly off the catch forty percent overall and catch and 429 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: shoot threes forty seven percent on unguarded catch and shoot. 430 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 2: Threes but he has really struggled with his pull up 431 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: three this, year only twenty seven percent on eighty two. 432 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: Attempts whatich you're betting on there if you're The. Hornets 433 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: he has a pretty long track record to shooting that 434 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 2: pretty well in recent seasons thirty five percent last year 435 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: on pull up threes off the, dribble thirty nine percent 436 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: two years ago in twenty twenty. Four obviously trending in 437 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 2: the wrong direction, There but that's the upside that you're 438 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: betting on in this, case leaning all in on offense 439 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: for a team that has a ton Of we talked 440 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: about this when we were talking about The. Hornets this 441 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: is actually on The ALL Nba pod With adamaras last 442 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: week On. Friday we were talking about how The hornets 443 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: are an awesome offensive rebounding team, too and one of 444 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 2: the dynamics that they consistently. Create is they just have 445 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: all these dudes Between LaMelo and Khon Ka nipple And Brandon, 446 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: miller and now you can Add. 447 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: Kobe white to that. 448 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: Mix that are high level shooters that are going to 449 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: dictate coverages out of, screens that are going to send 450 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: bigs up to the. Level and when you send bigs 451 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: up to the, level that opens up opportunities for The 452 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 2: Musa diabates and The Ryan cochbrenners of the world to 453 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: thrive on the offensive glass as the bigs are, outside 454 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 2: giving them inside. Position, right there's a lot of opportunity. 455 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: There that's a Big if you're asking me How charlotte's 456 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: had a ton of success on offense as of, late 457 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: it's been a really impressive string of jump shooting from 458 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: their from their core players and a ton of offensive 459 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: rebounding from their bigs in the like in the kind 460 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 2: of chaos that that. Forms, Right so in the short 461 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 2: Term Kobe white adds to. That WHERE i get like 462 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 2: a little confused as to where this is all going 463 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: is just like how everyone's going to get. Paid, so, 464 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 2: like you gotta Pay you're already Paying LaMelo ball a 465 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 2: shit ton of. Money you gotta pay Conk. Nipple, eventually 466 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 2: you gotta Pay Brandon miller. Eventually Mussa diabate is on 467 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: this really discounted contract right, now but he strikes me 468 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 2: as a guy that's gonna be worth quite a bit 469 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: when he comes up as a free agent. Eventually, Right, so, 470 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 2: like you got to figure out how to pay. EVERYBODY 471 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: i wonder if the idea is you re Sign Kobe 472 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 2: white to a long term deal and if they eventually 473 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: look to Move LaMelo ball or. 474 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: NOT i you, know it's. 475 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: FUNNY i there are times When i'm Watching LaMelo AND 476 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 2: i still am, like oh my, god this is one 477 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 2: of the best shot creators in the. League and SO 478 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: i wont if it's more of like an insurance kind 479 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: of thing where maybe they'll Sign kobe to a deal 480 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: that's like a three year. Deal maybe they'll give, him, 481 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: like you, know three years somewhere in that like sixty 482 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: to seventy million. Range kobe gets a nice little payday 483 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: for three years he's on this. Roster it lines up 484 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: when when kan K nipple needs to get. Paid it 485 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: lines up with WHEN. C james needs to get. Paid you, 486 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: know it's a year After Brandon miller needs to get 487 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 2: paid and you can Have kobe in that short, term 488 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: and if things kind of go south With, LaMelo you Move, 489 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: lamello but you still Have Kobe white as like you're 490 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: kind of do everything off the dribble guard that can 491 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: help all of your shooting. Wings, Right i'm guessing that's 492 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 2: kind of the direction they were going. There but when 493 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 2: they went For, kobe it kind of made me wonder 494 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 2: if there was a little bit of a glut of 495 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 2: scoring talent. Here it's like Between, LaMelo, Kobe khan And, 496 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: brandon it's just a lot of dudes that like are 497 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 2: looking to score the. Basketball right, now there's a version 498 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: where that all comes together and everyone's playing together and 499 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: they just score a million. Points but there's also that 500 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 2: can turn into a little bit of a. Glut and 501 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: that's WHY i wonder if it's kind of a precursor 502 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: to an, eventual Eventual LaMelo ball. Trade we will see 503 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: as time goes. By, lastly The raptors ended up we 504 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: HAD i talked about this in yesterday's pod in the. 505 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 2: Morning The raptors they've been looking At Demona simonis and 506 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: it was reported that they wanted to get off Of 507 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: Oshag boggi's contract to get below the luxury. TEXT i 508 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 2: Pitched Oce boggy for everybody as like a dude THAT 509 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 2: i think is a, good low cost type of option 510 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: for somebody to go after if they're looking for a 511 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: three AND d. WING a Shag bodji's having a terrible 512 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 2: jump shooting, season so obviously not a three AND d 513 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: wing right. Now but this is a guy who made 514 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: one hundred threes last year and made forty percent of. 515 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 2: Them so, like if you're looking for something cheap that 516 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: you can go, after that could maybe be a three 517 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 2: AND d. Wing he's a, good like high, reward low 518 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 2: risk type of option that you can go. After Right, 519 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 2: well it ends up being The, nets that doesn't mean it's. 520 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 2: Over The nets could turn around and flip o'she again 521 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: before the end of the. Deadline but The raptors Get Chris, 522 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: paul who they're not even gonna. Take it looks like 523 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 2: they're either going to look to facilitate another trade or 524 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: potentially buy him, Out So Chris paul's not going to 525 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: The raptors at. 526 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: All for The, raptors all this is is a second. 527 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: Round pick going to The nets and some cash to 528 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: get off Of Oshak boggi's, Contract so it's Basically raptors 529 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: paying a second rounder in cash to get out of 530 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 2: the luxury text, Right Chris paul's gonna end up going somewhere, 531 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 2: Else god knows if he's even gonna play again in 532 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 2: THE nba this. Season we'll see for The, nets what 533 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 2: if they flip around and turn O'Shea boji for another 534 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 2: second round. PICK i have a feeling The lakers, would 535 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 2: potentially without much they need, athletes move a expiring contract 536 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 2: plus a second rounder For o Shag. Boji how cool 537 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 2: would that be if you could get two second round 538 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: picks by basically making this type of move, Right so, 539 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: like definitely an interesting little deal.
