Before I 26 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: go out to this fancy dinner, I will change out 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: of this no dunks hoodie, don't you worry. I might 28 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: even put on a button up a shirt. But we 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: gotta start with our guy, Brian Windhorst. What is going 30 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: on in Utah? That's what people in the lead are 31 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: watching right now. What's going on in Utah? Oh, Wendy 32 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: turning himself into a meme earlier today. If you have 33 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: no idea what I'm talking about, just search for the clip. 34 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: But man, did he call it? Because we've got one 35 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: big Utah trade and it is the Timberwolves sending Patrick Beverley, 36 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: Malik Beasley, Kessler, Vanderbilt Ballmrrow. I don't even know if 37 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying that correctly, and multiple first round picks to 38 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz for one Rudy go Bear. Yes, Rudy 39 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: headed to the Wolves. I thought it was gonna be 40 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: Miles Turner if you saw my tweets. I was throwing 41 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: that out, trying to speak it into existence. I think 42 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: this is coming, and they like they won up me. 43 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: I guess with the Turner move, they go to go 44 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: bear the picks, going back to Utah unprotected first in 45 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty five, twenty seven. You got a swap 46 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: there in twenty six and I think a top five 47 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: protected in twenty nine too. Is that right? Holy hell, 48 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: that's a lot of picks for Rudy go Peer and 49 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: this experiment, I think Task was calling it fascinating, and 50 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: it really is. I mean Kat of course moving to 51 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: the foe. Now got these uh, you got one guy 52 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: that you pay two hundred million dollars plus just play 53 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: offense really in Karl Anthony towns. And you got one 54 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: guy you pay two hundred million dollars plus just to 55 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: be an elite defensive guy in Rudy gobert Ah four 56 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. You've got yourself a hell of a player. 57 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Wild stuff here, all these guys going. Who knows if 58 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: either of these teams are done too? And we can 59 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: get to the jazz in a second. But does this 60 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: move the needle for you guys? From Minnesota side of things. 61 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: With Rudy there beside Towns, you still got D'Angelo Russell. 62 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: Do the Wolves even run pick and roll with Finchy? 63 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they run it all that much, baby, 64 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: they'll incorporate it if Russell is alongside Gobert. Still, if 65 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: that's the lineup, and then Anthony Edwards your young talent there, Kermit, 66 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: who had some previous comments about Rudy Gobert not being 67 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: as an elite defensive player as maybe some of us think. 68 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: He was more concerned ant was with Kristaps Porzingis at 69 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: the rim. That's a big man. He would make them 70 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: second guess his shots at the rim. No, Rudy Gobert 71 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: not so much. But hey, Rudy Goberts used to I 72 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: feel like teammates not really loving him. So I'm sure 73 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: he'll be okay, But yeah, what do you think again? 74 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: Who knows? Here's what's gonna happen, Because it's Troy Murphy's 75 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: law when it comes to the No Dunks podcast, especially 76 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: emergency podcast. As soon as we stop recording here, as 77 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: soon as we say goodbye, as soon as I finished 78 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: the beer, we'll go to turn this into a podcast, 79 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: and then the Wolves will make another move, or Kevin 80 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: Durant will be traded, or you know, some other crazy 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: shit will happen. Donovan Mitchell will be shipped to the 82 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets for Gordon Hayward and four to five first 83 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: round pick. You know, that's just the way it goes. 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: This is my sacrifice to you and to the NBA 85 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: gods that as soon as we stop, there'll be another bombshell. 86 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: But for now, it's Rudy, it's Towns, it's Aunt, it's 87 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: Dangelo Russell. And you know, they got a lot of 88 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: open spots. Now they's shipped out a lot of guys, right, 89 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: what did I name there? Five or six guys something 90 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: like that. But we'll see. I really am fascinated to see. 91 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: You know, how elite is he, you know, at just 92 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: completely changing around a defense and you know, didn't have 93 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: great perimeter defenders in Utah. I would say that's still 94 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: the same here in Minnesota. But can you sort of 95 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: make them, you know whatever, what's the ceiling with a 96 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert led defense. It's top ten for sure? Can 97 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: you even be cracking top five? Will? I can't wait 98 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: to find out. I really can't saw the photoshops of 99 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: Rudy and that Wolves Jersey though, looks good, good work 100 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: photoshop boys, And I think it just looks great on him. 101 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that. People in the stream team, 102 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we talked about them getting Kylie Anderson too, 103 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: that was the name. I was drawing a blank on him, like, 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: I know there's another sort of key player there, but 105 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: he's got it. People dropping l's for the Wolves. I 106 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: saw people seem to be torn all with this one. 107 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: A little bit. I think maybe, and I don't want 108 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: to put words into some of your mouth, but you 109 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: were thinking maybe Miles Turner made a little bit more sense. 110 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: It would be cheaper in theory, especially after we saw 111 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: what Rodden went for. Then Rudy of course with all 112 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: those picks. But they are really committed here to you know, 113 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: helping out that defense. So I can't wait to see. 114 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: Wow wow, wow, wow, that's a lot. That is a 115 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: lot for a guy that's thirty years old and get 116 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: sort of killed for really only being a player on 117 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: one side of the floor, an elite player. But you know, 118 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: look he still contributes. Again, Look if Russell's running some 119 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: pick and roll with him, Rudy's fine. I mean, Vanderbilt 120 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: was out there with him and he's he's no offensive threat. 121 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: Now it's just Rudy a little closer to the net 122 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: the dunker spot, and Town's not having to obviously play 123 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: a lot of the bigs now. Hopefully that helps him 124 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: in reducing his fouls. Though I'm almost just as concerned 125 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: that now he's playing like sort of quicker, more mobile 126 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: bigs and that he's reaching on those and biting on 127 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: pump fakes on those guys. So I hopefully he can 128 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: stay it on the floor. But this is fun. As 129 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: for Utah, I mean, look again, back to our guy, 130 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: back to our guy Wendy, which I mean, this is 131 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: killing me. This clip. I watched it one hundred times 132 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: here today, guys, I laughed every single time, and him 133 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: just just taking us on a journey talking about the 134 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: Utah Jazz with the rest of the desk there just 135 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: living on every word he was saying and every word 136 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: he was not saying. The silence is what really spoke 137 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: from Wendy in this clip. So what will happen now? 138 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: There are rumors floating around that the Sun's intrigued in Mitchell. 139 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: I guess or maybe the Jazz intrigued in DeAndre Eaton? 140 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: Is that a three team deal? Is that? Is that 141 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: eating bridges? You know, going back in something like that, 142 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: You're like, why would the Suns. I mean, I don't 143 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: see Mitchell going to Phoenix? You have Devin Booker. We've 144 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: compared those two guys for crying out loud, So that's 145 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: that seems to be a bit of an overlap. But 146 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: is there a third team here? How does Katie involved 147 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: in all of this and the mess there? Or do 148 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: they just I mean, I jokingly said the Hornets thing, 149 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: but is there something like that where they just continue 150 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: to rack up the picks? And I think it was 151 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: Mike Prada saying, are we going to be like three 152 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: drafts from now? And it's Adam Silver like just saying, Okay, 153 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: the Thunder on the clock, and Jazz you're now on 154 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: the clock. Okay, Thunder you're back on the clock, and 155 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: the Spurs you're on the clock, and then Jazz you're 156 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: back on the clock, and then on Thunder you're actually 157 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: picking up here in six like it feels like there'll 158 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: be four teams that will have all the draft picks. 159 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: So good stuff there from Mike Prada, who's at the 160 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: Athletic get yourself a subscription, go the Athletic dot com 161 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: slash no dunks, uh, get your thoughts in here. But 162 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: we'll move to some of the other moves deals I 163 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: should say in Brockden going to the Celtics and Kevin 164 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: heurd Her going to the Sacramento Kings. That was one 165 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: that feels like it happened about I don't know, four 166 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: days ago. At this point, people are saying, Ah, Mitchell, 167 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Mitchell to the Nets. Is that the exciting sort of 168 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: juicy young piece. It feels like whenever the Nets make 169 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: a decision it could be more than just you know, 170 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: two teams. Teams are going to want to get involved 171 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: to help out. We talked about it on the Drop 172 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: podcast this morning. Holland tried a great breakdown of why 173 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: Eton four Katie like as the core of a trade. 174 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of complications in terms of the books there, 175 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: so base your compensation because of eight and you know, 176 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: luxury tax things and stuff like that. You can get tricky. 177 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: It's not impossible, you can make it happen, but a 178 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: lot easier more players involved, and even more easier if 179 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: other teams are involved, So I think that is something 180 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: that we're gonna we're gonna see. But look, Katie will 181 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: be traded as soon as we stop recording here. What 182 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: else is funny about this deal? Though? I guess Patrick 183 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: Beverley in Utah for now? Funny? Where where's he gonna? 184 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: Is he gonna still be there? Is he gonna make 185 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: his way to the Laker somehow? We'll see? Yeah, looks 186 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: like a lot of people are not all that high 187 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: on the Wolves aggressively going for Rudy gobert Ah. I'm 188 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: high on it from just a from a content play 189 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: from a Wow, Let's let's see if this works again. 190 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: I think I think between the two, I would have 191 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: preferred Turner at a much cheaper cost. But you know, 192 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: they obviously maybe they couldn't get them. Maybe the Pacers 193 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: were not interested. I don't know, they didn't want you know, 194 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: Beasley and and you would think they would want picks, 195 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: but you know, I don't know what these unprotected picks 196 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: like these are a lot, but if your team is good, 197 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: then they're gonna be sort of back into the first round. 198 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: It's the crapshoot. These things get passed around so much 199 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: too like who knows who will have these at a 200 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: certain point. So yeah, I'm into it just from a 201 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: pure sicko play. And I joke that NBA Twitter is 202 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 1: gonna like explode when Anthony Edwards accidentally like on a 203 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: put back dunk dunks on Gobert. I can see it now. 204 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: I know it's gonna happen, and it will be uh, 205 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: it'll be quite the larf. It'll be so much fun. 206 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: Moving on though, I actually had the thumbnail ready to 207 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: go for just this guy, and thankfully I waited a 208 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: little bit, but we had the Pacers finally, can I 209 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: say finally, guess finally trading Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston 210 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: Celtics for Daniel tice Aarondie Smith, Nick Stauskis on Canada Day. 211 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: That should be illegal. Malik Fits, Juwan Morgan and a 212 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three first round pick love this move. Like 213 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: about ninety nine percent of NBA Twitter love this move 214 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: definitely for the Celtics. Little surprise, the Pacers couldn't get 215 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: more in return, and this is it, but man Boston 216 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: bringing in a guy who yeah, three years, sixty seven 217 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: million dollars. Brogden doesn't play a whole lot a lot. 218 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: I think Low had it forty eight games played, sixty 219 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: four games played, fifty four games played, fifty six games played, 220 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: and then only thirty six games played over the last 221 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: five seasons. A couple of those COVID related. But he 222 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: has struggled to give you eighty percent workload. You're happy 223 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: almost of your getting fifty with this guy. But when 224 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: he plays, holy crapy is good. He's solid and Celtic. 225 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: I think Brad Stevens correct me if I'm wrong. After 226 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: the season, after the finals, we need more playmaking. And 227 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: then there was the talk of like, oh, I can't 228 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: be smart, can't be your point guard. You're not going 229 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: to win the title that way. Well, this is literally perfect. 230 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: You get more playmaking in Brogden. But by no means 231 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: can you like no means? Are you like all right smart? 232 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: See you're you know you're down, Your minutes are limited 233 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: and stuff like you can play these guys together if 234 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: he's playing. That's always the big if with him. But 235 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: it's just as a really really nice trade. Brad Stevens 236 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: doesn't care if your first round picks. Traded the twenty 237 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: one pick for Al Horford, the twenty two first rounder 238 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: for Derek White and then a twenty three first rounder 239 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: here now for Brogden, and this is and those are 240 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: like Horford White, Brogden, great players. They have a super 241 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: deep team. You got your superstars in Tatum and Jalen Brown, 242 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: and now you're pairing. You can slide him into the 243 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: starting line up here and holy crap to not give 244 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: up like I guess the Pacers wanted Grant Williams to 245 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: not even have to give up him. Then the Celtics 246 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: go and get Gallinari or they're going to. I guess 247 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: he's going to sign a two year, thirteen million dollars 248 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: deal once he clears waivers after he's released by the 249 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: Spurs because he got traded there in that Hawk's deal 250 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: for John Dat Murray. Just what a squad. And they 251 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: got open roster spots now vetmin him contracts. Probably some 252 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: player exceptions still to use, so they may not even 253 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: been done in filling out that roster. But I love it, 254 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: absolutely love it from Boston. A dangerous team just got 255 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: even a little bit better. You just hope that the 256 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: fifty games played from Malcolm Brogden are not November to 257 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, mid January if you're gonna pick Malcolm, put 258 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: them on the other end and play there in you know, 259 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: early March April and at the playoffs. Make those the 260 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: fifty games, because yeah, it's just another great, great player. 261 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: Another awesome addition here from Brad Stevens. And you know, look, 262 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: I think maybe they even learned their lessons when they 263 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: were doing all of their draft picks, like Nie Smith 264 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: being one of them. It's like they either don't development, 265 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: or they developed them, or they just strike out on them, 266 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, just trade them. Get that 267 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: guy's in here that actually can help our team. We 268 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: got our guys we drafted Tatum Brown and Smart and 269 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: Robert Williams. We're fine there. We don't need anymore. Just 270 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: keep these, keep getting these guys that contribute on both ends. 271 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: And that's a really nice deal. Pacers again, a little 272 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: shock that that's what they got, that's all they got. 273 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: That's not a lot. The pick is nice. But what 274 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Nie Smith is the hope is 275 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: like no pressure. Now, man, I know you were spotty minutes. 276 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: You're a shooter that was struggling with your shot at times. 277 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: He might be unleashed a little I don't think that's 278 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: far fetched to say that in a t on a 279 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: team where they're going to be playing, you know, for 280 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: a draft pick, you get to play free and loose 281 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: beside Haliburton and all that that maybe he's unlocked a 282 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: little bit, so maybe you get a little gem there. 283 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: I think that's the thinking. And and sure, I think 284 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: just more people thought that you were gonna get to 285 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: get a little bit more for Malcolm Brogdeny. And what 286 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: does this mean for Turner to go back to him 287 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: if they're not done, just like the Jazz may not 288 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: be done if they move Mitchell? Are the Pacers done 289 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: now moving possibly a Miles Turner? And are you getting 290 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: another first round pick? Can you get even a little 291 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: bit more? And who are the teams? Who are the 292 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: teams that want the center? Is that the raptor still? 293 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: You know I thought it was gonna be the Wolves. 294 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: They go with Gobert? Who else is in desperate need? 295 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Would you say of a center? It's not a whole lot, 296 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: are there? I mean Charlotte Hornet's were probably not now 297 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: after their draft. Pistons they're sort of fine I think 298 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: with their draft. So once I'm forgetting a team, let 299 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: me know who, uh who should be in the sweepstakes 300 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: for Miles Turner the other trade from today. To keep 301 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: this moving with some pace, as I take a sip, Hey, 302 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: while I take a sip, hit the like button. It'd 303 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: be fantastic. I purposely bought this emergency drinking beer for 304 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: these emergency podcasts that I knew we were going to have. 305 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: We have the Hawks picker trading Kevin Herder or Kevin 306 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: Wheer tah as Lee likes to say, to the Sacramento 307 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: Kings for justin Holiday mo Harkless a future first round pick. 308 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: And that's it. So Holiday Harkless a future first round pick. 309 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: I caught myself there because there's like a bunch of 310 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: protections on the pick lottery. Protected in twenty four, top twelve, 311 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: protected in twenty five, top ten, protected in twenty six, 312 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: and then if it doesn't or hasn't conveyed by then 313 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: turns into two seconds. I know, you real sickos like 314 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: that stuff. That's for the real sickos to include stuff 315 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: like that. But look, not the probably well it's the Kings, 316 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: so yeah, that's probably gonna turn into two seconds. I 317 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: like this move for Sacramento, though, so they're big like 318 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: free agency so far as getting Malik Monk, which we 319 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: like briefly briefly addressed on the first podcast this morning, 320 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: and now Kevin Herder and just getting some shooting in theory, like, okay, 321 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: the defense, defense is gonna be bad Sacramento. I think, 322 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: thank god you got Davion Mitchell. But those two guys 323 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: can shoot. And Fox let's go, baby. I've been saying 324 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: it for a while. I want all your deer and 325 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Fox stock give it to me. I believe. And I 326 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: think what we saw after Halliburton got moved, he got 327 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: paired with Sabonis, there's something there. I love Mike Brown 328 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: coming in and I like shooters around him. Let's play. 329 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: Let's let Fox play though, So I'm high on this. 330 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 1: And this is to not take a lot either. This 331 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: is the other thing, like we're saying the protections on 332 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: the pick and giving up, you know, letting Holiday go 333 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: play with his brother again here in Atlanta. Mo Harleck, 334 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: Mo heartless? How could you be? Mo heartless? Who cares? 335 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: This is nice? This is nice for a guy red 336 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: Velvet who's under contract. I mean, I think it's starting 337 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: right this season, that four year very affordable. It's not. 338 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm off the top of my head. I 339 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: do have written down what it's like. Is it fifteen 340 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: to seventeen eighteen million something like that? That ballpark really 341 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: really affordable contract? Here? Will it get the Kings into 342 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Let's start with the playing all right, baby 343 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: steps baby, But the team looks like solid on paper. 344 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: I think the defense is gonna stink. But Fox Sabonis, 345 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: Harrison Barnes is still there, Davey on Mitchell, Okay, that's 346 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: some defense. Malik Monk Herder now Rashaun Holmes and Keithan Murray, 347 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: who again, I'm not a draft expert by any means. 348 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: A lot of people were like, uh, oh, Ivy doesn't 349 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: want to play there, so they goes Keegan Murgy. But look, 350 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: you know they're taking him for a reason. You tell me, 351 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: can can he contribute? He's gonna get a chance. I 352 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: think on this squad, that's a nice little looking team 353 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: right there. But I always talk myself into the Kings 354 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: and then like like King's Fansom, you know, crying six 355 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: weeks into the season, there'll be like a small little flash. 356 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: But no, I believe. I believe in Daron Fox, why 357 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: give up a first rounder? People are asking because you 358 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: got a guy back on contract who's was a first rounder. 359 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: And Kevin Herder, who's a shooter, who's like, I love hearing, 360 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: like he's upset that he was sub forty percent from 361 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: a distance. He's like, I can be better in that. 362 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I should be better in that. Hell yeah, man, it's good. 363 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: It's good. And again, the protections on that pick are like, 364 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: you know, things go poorly, you still you're gonna be 365 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: keeping it if it's lottery protected in twenty four and 366 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: then basically through to top ten and twenty six. I mean, 367 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: I think that's fine. I think that's fine. And the 368 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: Hawks are sort of like having to do this once 369 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: they made the de Jonte Murray trade. Who knows still 370 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 1: with Collins what they're doing with him? We said, I mean, 371 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: if you listen to our podcast, like Collinder had been saying, 372 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: they're probably not done after the Murray trade, here, watch 373 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: for watch for Herder. Of course, Collins and even Bogdanovich. 374 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: So Herder is the one that ultimately gets moved. Questions 375 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: are coming fast and furious here in the stream. Team 376 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: do the Celtics move Marcus Smart Patrick ass no, I 377 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't think so at all. I think the Celtics, again, 378 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: outside of adding guys on vet minimum deals, I don't 379 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: see them making a whole lot more they have. I mean, 380 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: you talk about a team, Holy crap, you're you have 381 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: like you have really elite or above average defense from 382 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: your perimeter point guard spot for forty eight minutes a game. 383 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: If everybody plays unhealthy smart obviously Brogdon and Derek White, 384 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: that's awesome. You have superstar scorers still Tatum and Brown. 385 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: You have Al Horford doing old man things, just contributing. 386 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he was unbelievable in the playoffs. Grant Williams. 387 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: They keep great Robert Williams. If he can stay healthy, 388 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: my god, I think he could go to the next level. No, no, no, 389 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: you're you know, the Pritchard's like their tenth man at 390 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: this point, and like you're you're finally like and Gallinari's 391 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: coming in, Like, no, no, they're not. They're not trading 392 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: Markus smart. I would be shocked if Brad Stevens moves 393 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: off his guy like that. So no other news here, 394 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: And if you guys have questions about any of those 395 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: three trades or any other thoughts or silly little comments. 396 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: Drop them. I mean it is tough to sort of 397 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: do both things that at the same time. Here, But 398 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: Zach Lavigne signed a five year, two hundred and fifteen 399 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: million dollar contract extension with the Bulls. TK was happy 400 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: with that. He was getting a little concerned on this 401 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: morning's podcast that they hadn't put pen to paper yet 402 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: there in Chicago. They'd only got Andre Drummond took care 403 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: of the big beef, but they cub zach Lavie. I 404 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: don't think this is a shock to anyone. Hopefully he 405 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: can just stay healthy. He was, you know, I mean 406 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: pre injury, remember him cooking like this is a well 407 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: deserved deal. You just it's just got those knees. Don't 408 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: fail him or this could be bad in a hurry. 409 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: But healthy, I think that's a no brainer. The Warriors lose. 410 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: They lose Outo Man to the Raptors, my Toronto Raptors. 411 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: After losing Gary Payton the second to the Blazers, they 412 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: lose Auto Porter Junior, who I think the reports are 413 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,719 Speaker 1: that the Warriors offered him like the vet's minimum. What 414 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: this guy was contributing to a championship. I thought you 415 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: were light years ahead. Come on, while you be in 416 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: cheap skates with this one. I know it costs them 417 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: like substantially more for any deal they do. I mean 418 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: that's their own fault. But that's fine. But he says, no, 419 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go take an actual deal with a real 420 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: team here, get paid a little bit more of what 421 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: I'm worth. And he signed a two year contract there 422 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: with Toronto because you know, he's the perfect size, you know, 423 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: check for the Toronto Raptors. Gives you a little a 424 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: little bit of everything. Check. Seems like a great locker 425 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: room guy. Check you know. So, so the Raptors snatched 426 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: him up the Calves and Robin Lopez agreed to a 427 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: one year deal. This was on the heels of Rubio 428 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: this morning, in a really feel good story. We probably 429 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: gloss over it because we had so much to talk about. 430 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: But Rubio, after the injury and getting like going all 431 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: that from Cleveland last year, you know, that was nice 432 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: that he's coming back to that team. He was really 433 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: really instrumental and them getting off to that hot start. 434 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: So that's fantastic. But Robin Lopez, hey for the vibes. 435 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: He's there backup big for Cleveland. Nurkic agreed to a 436 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: four year, seventy million dollar contract with the Blazers. I 437 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: think this was becoming more and more likely that he 438 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: was going to stay in Portland. It was what's going 439 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: to be the money? So under sub you know, twenty 440 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: million a year. I think that's the going rate for him. 441 00:24:53,840 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: Another classic, you know, stay healthy, you're okay, but different 442 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: defensive schemes of course, from statts to billups and can 443 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: he hang and be like somewhat? I mean, look, he 444 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: ain't gonna be Riady Gobert, but be somewhat of a 445 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: presence inside. Hey maybe that's a team that could use 446 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: Myles Turner ray. Could the Blazers go get him somehow? 447 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: But anyway, four years, seventy million, four nurk So that 448 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: team now with Simon's resigning for four for all hundred, 449 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: Lee and Trey were torn on that on this morning. 450 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: Lee very thumbs up Trey a little bit like, whoa, 451 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: that's a lot of money for a twenty two year 452 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: old that hasn't done a whole lot. You know, he 453 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: scored seventeen points per game on a tanking team. Okay, 454 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts in the comments? But obviously dame 455 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: back healthy. Who they got, Josh Hart they've got now, 456 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: Nurk they're on the squad. Who am I forgetting? I'm 457 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: forgetting a very key name here for the Portland Trailblazers 458 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: right now. I know somebody will drop it in a second. 459 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, four seventy Okay, that wasn't like whoa what? 460 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: Oh my god? Oh Gary Payton second, of course was 461 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: the one they went he'll help out defensively and other 462 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: news Mitchell Robinson four year, sixty million. We slipped that 463 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: into the first one with the Knicks. Oh, I meant 464 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: to lump this together with the auto Porter Junior news. 465 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: Looney on Canada Day, Love to see it agreed to 466 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: a three year, twenty five point five million dollar deal 467 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: with the Warriors. So this was, you know, lose GP 468 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: two bad, lose Autoporter Junior bad. Keep Looney very good 469 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: for this deal. Awesome starting center on a championship team. 470 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: First year seven million dollars, third year, partial guarantee of 471 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: three million. This is a very team friendly deal here, 472 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: great value for Looney on that squad. So three twenty 473 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: five and a half mil for Loony and I think 474 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: that's it unless things are breaking as I talk to 475 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: you guys, let me know if anything is going down 476 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: in the Twitter verse. Katie will be traded in mere 477 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: minutes now. But should I just wait? And when somebody said, 478 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: when I was joking on Twitter, like I'm afraid to 479 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: do an emergency podcast because as soon as I do something, 480 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: news is gonna break and all that. So he said, 481 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: just go live like you're on Twitch. Just stay on 482 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: all day, just sit here. We can just read tweets. 483 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: You guys want to read tweets together, we could do that. 484 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: The sad part is people would do that with me 485 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: when they says something about me, says something about you, 486 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: take a long, hard look in the mirror when you 487 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: say that out loud. Okay, So I'll stop the podcast 488 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: so Mitchell can get traded and Durant can get traded 489 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: one more time because I love it.

I think it was Mina Kimes that tweeted, 494 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: this is like more dramatic than a murder podcast. My 495 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: wife is a huge fan of it. Like She's right, 496 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: Mina's right. Listen to this. It's enthralling. I mean he 497 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: sort of in the end, he said almost nothing, but 498 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: it's just the way he said it well. And then 499 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: of course he called it too, so he knew something 500 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: was up. He knew that this was around the corner. 501 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: And maybe they're not done, and they probably won't.
