00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,000

00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 5: Well, he's kind of love it somewhere.

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 3: Let's hear your let's hear your guess.

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, we're not starting.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: We're not doing that.

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: We have a weggie. It's way more important than where

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Kylin Lowry is gonna end up. Terry Rozier stuck his

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: third weggie of the season. Yeah you heard me right,

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: his third of the season, number thirty two overall. According

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: to our good friends at weggietracker dot com, Scary Terry

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: has now matched the individual weggie record set by Ed

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: Davis in the seventeen to eighteen season, Tyler hero in

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: the nineteen twenty season, and Eric Gordon last year for

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: the most weggies in a single season with three. So

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: Terry Rozier has got a lot of basketball still go

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: here in the regular season and then possibly the playoffs.

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: So if he gets number four, he's the official weggie King.

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: I think they should add it to that paragraph of

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: texts they have in the heat lane, the weggiest team

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: in the.

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: I though they're gonna say they should add it to

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: the basketball reference pages and everything on there.

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so the guy finished twenty sixth. Then MIP voting,

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: Oh makes the List's got one vote? I guess, so, okay, interesting.

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: They're very fitting. Terry is the guy who replaces Kyle Lowry.

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: This is what we started a show with.

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it all comes together? Uh Yeah, the

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: NBA trade deadline wraps up at three pm Eastern today.

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: We're still waiting on a big name or two to

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: be moved, of course, but Wednesday did bring a few

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: smaller deals, and because we're sickos, of course we're gonna

50
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: break them down great them talk about him. Let's start

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: with the Celtics acquiring Xavier Tillman from the Grizzlies. It

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: took Lamar Stevens and two future second round picks, one

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: by way of the Hawks, one by way of the MAVs.

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: But x go into Beantown. What do you think it's.

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: A good little pickup. Xavier Tillman is an interesting guy

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: in that he is ridiculously strong and a ridiculously good defender.

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: Last year he started in the postseason for the Memphis

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 3: Grizzily Grizzlies every single game, and he did a pretty

59
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: decent job against Anthony Davis. His numbers got pulled down

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: a bit, his efficiency got pulled down of it playing

61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: against David Tilman. Now he's not starting for the Boston Celtics,

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: there's no chance. But he's a better option than Luke

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: Cornett earning mesh Kita. At times you're going through Brook Lopez,

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: Joelle Embiid and Nicol Jokich in the postseason. That's what

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: he is for. Strictly, that is what he is for.

66
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: He had some big games offensively in the postseason, a

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: twenty one point game. You know, he's had a bad

68
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: year offensive offensively, but it's one of the defenses. He

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: just needs to go up against big bodies. They got

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: a stronger guy coming off the bench. That's strictly. It

71
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: just for a few minutes. I think it helps.

72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: They literally are bulking up their bench here. I like it.

73
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: As well. As good as Tilman is defensively, he's pretty

74
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: much as bad offensively. His best screen or his best

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: skill I think is screening, which is helpful. But the

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: thing with the Celtics is they shoot the ball so

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: well from outside. They're the best three point shooting team

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: in the league. Maybe that lets him stay on the

79
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: court for ten minutes at a time. And like you're saying,

80
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: it only really matters when they're playing against the gigantic

81
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: centers because you could throw them out there for an

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: additional six fouls, and his bulk is more reasonable against

83
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: the Joel Embiid than it is if you're trying Luke Cornett.

84
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: So I think for the price of a guy that's

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: out of their rotation, two second round picks that don't

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: even belong to them, smart move here.

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got so many shooters you have to guard

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: everybody else, and.

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 4: This guy you cants score a little bit.

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: You have a twenty two point game in that postseason,

91
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: and it's just smart for the Boston Celtics to go

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: get somebody like this now because they won't be able

93
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: to sign just anybody in the postseason. They have to

94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: trade for guys just because of how much money they

95
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: have on their books, and this guy makes absolutely nothing.

96
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: So it's a smart smart move.

97
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can look at it too as like injury insurance.

98
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: I guess a little bit behind porzingis Horford obviously getting

99
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: up there in age. You had a great game last night.

100
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: I love that they have now sort of one of

101
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: everything you'd want in a backup center. You got like

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: the athletic rim runner in Kita. You got like the

103
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: high IQ playmaking guy and Luke Cornett, and then you

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: got like the defensive minded dog here Tillman. So it

105
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: gives Missoula options in potential playoff matchups depending on sort

106
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: of the other big He's not gonna play a ton,

107
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: but can he win you five to ten minutes of

108
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: a playoff game? Tilman? Can he be a difference maker

109
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: for one stretch of one quarter of a playoff series? Probably?

110
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: And he was really good, like you said Tass in

111
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: last year's playoffs when he bumped up his numbers. But yeah,

112
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: the shots just disappeared completely this year. He can't even

113
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: score at the rim for a big guy, and he

114
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: can't hit a three. But hopefully he bounces back to

115
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: what he was doing last season in the regular season,

116
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: end the playoffs on a better offensive team, obviously with

117
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: a very little offensive role.

118
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 4: If the Celtics end up playing Xavier Tillman a lot

119
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: of minutes, they're not winning the championship. I think that's

120
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: what it comes down to. If Porzingis is out, it's jober.

121
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 4: If Al Horford is out, probably not good either. But

122
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: he's a fine guy and it seems like a cool

123
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: guy to have around as well, well liked, and honestly,

124
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: they kind of needed a tough guy. They lost that

125
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: when Marcus Smart went to the Gizley. So it's good

126
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: to get back somebody who will throw an elbow into

127
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: somebody else's chest.

128
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Celtics are just looking forward obviously. You know

129
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: sometimes these little these little pickups can help. Obviously, we

130
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: look back to Marcosol in twenty nineteen. That wasn't just

131
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: a little guy. That guy was pretty pretty monumental in

132
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: that series. But the next year the Lakers picked up

133
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: Mark if Morris just as a little bio guy. He

134
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: played in the postseason. This could happen, This could happen.

135
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: I am surprised that he's only twenty five years old.

136
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, number one, he looks way older, way older.

137
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 3: And his name is Xavior Tilman Senior. Right, sounds like

138
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: it old, sounds old. Yeah, he's like balding a little bit. Yeah,

139
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: he's twenty five. He definitely looks thirty five. But good

140
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: job by the Celtics, as you guys said, just to

141
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: strengthen the bench here and it didn't didn't really cost

142
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: him all that much. The Grizzlies from their side of things,

143
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: you know, you said, you don't mind those picks, especially

144
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: coming from those other teams like you know, who knows

145
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: where Tree Young is in twenty seven with Atlanta Luke

146
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: of course with Dallas whatever. But uh them, is this

147
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: just sort of another financial move. Yeah, to shore up

148
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 3: their books. Tilman was expiring.

149
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: They weren't gonna pay him next seas, and once they

150
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: brought back Bismack Biambo and kind of started playing him

151
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: over Tilman, a guy they find off the street, it

152
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 4: was kind of over for Tilman in Memphis. So it

153
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: doesn't make sense that they're gonna pay him when they're

154
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: gonna be getting some guys back at next season. Jared

155
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 4: Jackson Junior will still be there, Brandon Clark. I assume

156
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: we'll get healthy at some point. Maybe he gets a

157
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: little run at the end of his season to get

158
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: his legs back under him, but not a part of

159
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 4: the future there. So get some second round picks, cuz

160
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: second round picks can get you a guy to help

161
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 4: on the bench. Yeah, that's what we've seen. Yep.

162
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: All right, Well, moving on, that was our biggest deal yesterday.

163
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: We go to the Pistons. They had a couple minor moves.

164
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: We'll start with them acquiring Simone Fontechio. Yes, the Italian

165
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: who is starting and playing well for the Utah Jazz.

166
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: The Pistons go and get him, and it cost them.

167
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: Kevin Knox, the second that's the second time I believe

168
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: the Pistons have traded Kevin knocks the second. I hope

169
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: he finds his way back and gets traded a third time.

170
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: And then a twenty twenty four second round pick more

171
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: favorable of the Grizzlies and the Wizard. So right now,

172
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: that's the Wizards. That's a very early second round pick,

173
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: and the draft rights to a guy you have never

174
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: heard of. Maybe one day makes it over to the league.

175
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Pistons, let's start with them tasks. What

176
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: did you think here of Gabby Pro? Yeah, Gabby Pro,

177
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: Sure we might see him. He's apparently not bad. He's

178
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: having a decent little run here over in Europe.

179
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: So Mony found Teco. I know the Jazz aren't really

180
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: on a lot of people's radar. People don't necessarily look

181
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: at what they do. But this guy has been starting,

182
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: and he has been shooting thirty nine percent from three,

183
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 3: and he's defended pretty well. There's sometimes he's taken the

184
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: job of another perimeter guy on the other side and

185
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: done a decent job. We did a good job against

186
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: Brandon Ingram when they played the Pelicans. So the Pistons

187
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: are looking for somebody who can shoot three and just

188
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: give space to Kate Cunningham and j and Ivy and

189
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: they just they just struggled a little bit with that.

190
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: And somebody who can defend wings like a sar Thompson

191
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: has struggled with that a little bit. Isaia Stewart has

192
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: been all right in the forward spot doing that, but

193
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: he's just not good enough to defend perimeter guys. I

194
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: think this is a nice little take on a contract

195
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: three and D guy who's fairly cheap at this point

196
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: and will help him out next season. I think they're

197
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: gonna they're just trying to spread the floor for Cunningham

198
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: and Ivy. I think it's a little little smart move

199
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: for them because Fontekio is is guy who can play.

200
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: Do you think he's a part of sort of their

201
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: plans moving forward here and hence why they gave up

202
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: again a very sort of a really sexy second round pick.

203
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: It can't get much better than thirty two overall right now.

204
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: But do you think they see Fontechio is sort of

205
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: a piece moving forward here?

206
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah? They must, because why would you trade a pick

207
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: that you could get a player like Simon Pontechio at

208
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: the thirty two, maybe even thirty one pick. I would

209
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: personally rather have the pick because this guy's twenty eight

210
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: years old. You're gonna have to pay him more money

211
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: than a second rounder would next year. But Tess is right.

212
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: He helps the Pistons, he plays defense, he can shoot threes.

213
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 4: That's something they're looking for, especially if they're going to

214
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 4: move Isaiah Stewart. If they're gonna move boy On Bogdanovic,

215
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: he won't be helpful. But if he helps the Pistons

216
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 4: and they passed the Wizards in the standings, then the

217
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 4: pick gets even better that they're sending to the Jazz.

218
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I'm kind of like totally sideways

219
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: on this one. Like Fontekia is fine, but he's not

220
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: really a part of their long term core. I don't

221
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: think he's five years older than all of their best players.

222
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: I would have stand pat and maybe try and get

223
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 4: him in the summer, but they wanted to do it now.

224
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: I guess I think a lot of people have made

225
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: this point. What happens today might dictate how you really

226
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: feel about this deal. If the Pistons do go and

227
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: trade Boyan Bogdanovic or Alec Burks to another team and

228
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: get let's say, very similar draft capital, maybe even somehow

229
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: a late first round pick, probably unlikely with those two guys,

230
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: then it feels like a little more easy to stomach.

231
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm with you, TK, because like it's like, why wouldn't

232
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: you keep the pick? But if they get one back

233
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: because they move one of those guys that they definitely

234
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: don't see as part of their long term plans, then

235
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: it makes more sense to me. So we'll wait and see.

236
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: Earlier, they did it on purpose, gave up a thirty

237
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: two to say, hey boy and bug Danvich is better

238
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: than that thirty two.

239
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: Give the market, Yeah, set the market. That's a galaxy

240
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: brain thinking there from Troy Weavers smart. Actually, earlier in

241
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: the day Tony Jones of The Athletic who follows the

242
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: Jazz and reports on the Jazz, he said that Fintechio

243
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: had emerged as a serious trade target for two contending

244
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: teams in the Suns and the Celtics. And I know

245
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 2: Hollinger had been writing leading up to the deal that

246
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: Fontechio's cap friendly three million dollar deal could make him

247
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: a serious option and for financially handcuffed teams like the

248
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: Clippers or the Nuggets, so all of those teams, you know,

249
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: much much better than the Pistons where he lands up.

250
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: But you wonder after you know, the Celtics, you know,

251
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: then pivoted to of course Tilman and they went with

252
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: that direction. But I thought that was interesting from those guys.

253
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: He's good, but he is twenty eight years old. It'd

254
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: be a lot more you know, intriguing if he was like, well,

255
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: he's twenty one to twenty two. Yeah, okay, he's a shooter,

256
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 2: plays a little defense, pairs perfectly, but they also don't

257
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 2: want to be the worst team of all time. You've

258
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: said this before, TK. I think it's part of this

259
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: deal as well. This guy plays for the Jazz starts

260
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: with him, they're five hundred. He might get us too, honestly,

261
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: like you know, might get us to twelve wins and

262
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: we don't set like the all time record or something

263
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: like that. Because he's decent and he's gonna get an

264
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: option here. What about from Utah side of things though,

265
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: because you know, once again, here is his second year

266
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: in a row. As we got to the deadline training

267
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: a player that does contribute be shocked.

268
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was surprising. I mean, it makes a little

269
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: more sense for the Pistons and that they're getting a

270
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: guy that they need, a perimeter shooter defender. They're winning

271
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 3: games here without their players. They beat the Sacramento Kings

272
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: last night. This team looks a lot better, so it

273
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: sort of makes sense. They don't want to trade their

274
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: core four guys in Durham, Thompson, Ivy and Cunningham. It's

275
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 3: good they're playing Ivy again for the Jazzy. That's a

276
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 3: little confusing. The Jazz are confusing every single season. Where

277
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: are they going here? I guess they're giving up an older,

278
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: older player entering his prime because they don't know exactly

279
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: where they're going. But that's what that's what they do

280
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: every single season. It's a little confusing. This team is good.

281
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: Does it open the runway for a Bajie a little

282
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: bit more? Maybe they have another deal. I mean, they're

283
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: being linked to de Jonte Murray trade rumors if you

284
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: buy that, so maybe there's more to come here.

285
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 3: Hey, Baji is a good player, but Fonteko does something

286
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 3: different and that he can shoot threes. That's not a

287
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Bogie's thing. I guess I don't know. I don't know.

288
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: We are watching here for the next four hours. What

289
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: Danny and Justin are doing? What are they doing in Utah?

290
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: It's a little confusing. Fingers out, buddy, what are they doing?

291
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: They're getting a draft pick, That's why they're doing it.

292
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: Thirty two pick. Danny Ainge says that's better than Simone Fontecio.

293
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: Troy Weaver disagrees, and guess who's been a better GM

294
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: throughout their careers.

295
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: It's Danny Ainge, buddy. They also had Oshai a Baji.

296
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: Like you're saying they drafted Bryce sense of ball in

297
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 4: the first round pick. They're just clearing the way. They

298
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: weren't going to pay this guy.

299
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a billion draft picks, so because of

300
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: the Donovan, Mitchell and Rigobert returns, so that sure.

301
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: Keep adding to the cupboard. Here's a little trivia for

302
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: you guys. Fan Techio. He is now the fourth Italian

303
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 2: born player to play for the Detroit Pistons. That's absolutely

304
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: one of them. He played one real season for Detroity

305
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: average two point four points per game. Can you give

306
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: me the other two? And I want to say this,

307
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: I want to stress this again.

308
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: Italian born has Gallinari played for them? This season.

309
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: That's correct. He is on the roster. He's played five games,

310
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: actually had one really good game. But now we are

311
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: down to the final. Italian born, Italian born guy.

312
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: Not a holiday but nobody in that family not a

313
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: holiday family.

314
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: What else can I give you. He maintained dual citizenship

315
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: until his eighteenth birthday, so he's obviously American. His dad

316
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: was I want to say, you know, in the army

317
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: or air force or something like that.

318
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: It's an army. It's an army kid.

319
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, he plays. He likes accessories. Reggie Jackson

320
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: been go. Reggie Jackson born in northern Italy, So that's

321
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: just a fun fact for you. Thirty six percent of

322
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: all Italian born NBA players have now played for the

323
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons. I was a little pissed that Bell and

324
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: Ellie had never played for Detroit. That'd have been great,

325
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: and even I was talking myself into Barnianni having a

326
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: cup of coffee there, but he did. So there you go.

327
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: You got four guys, now Italian guys that have played

328
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: for the Pistons. Or once fun Techio suits up, anything

329
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: else on that one on the Jazz Pistons or no I.

330
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: Think that the Pistons have a lot of money free

331
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: this summer, so they can they're radious splurs. It's around

332
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: sixteen million dollars, So what.

333
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: Are they gonna do? Try and do what the the

334
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: Rockets sort of did, you know, get aggressive, get some

335
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: vets in here.

336
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what the money is for.

337
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right though.

338
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pantachio, we'll get a little bit.

339
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

340
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: I mean, they wouldn't have traded for him if they

341
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 4: didn't want to pay him. And he's a restrictive free agent,

342
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: so they can match anything. They've been linked to Tobias

343
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: Harris Hm, former Detroit Piston as well. He'll be a

344
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 4: free agent. Seems like the kind of guy that would

345
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: take their money. I'm serious, Like, you're not at the

346
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 4: top of the agency list here, and like, honestly, there's

347
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: not a lot of free agency lists, so there's not

348
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: a lot at the time. I don't know who it's

349
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 4: gonna be, but they're gonna get They're gonna bring in pros.

350
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: Ye're not gonna come back next season with all guys

351
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 4: that are twenty five and hundred clearly, Yeah.

352
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And that's why this fun tech youo move.

353
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: People call it pre agency, right, that's like in doing

354
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: this deal, it's like they're getting this guy in, you know,

355
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: before free agency because they'll likely sign them. And that's

356
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: why they gave up a pretty good second round pick.

357
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: The Pistons weren't done there yesterday because they traded Monte

358
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: Morris two Minnesota and in return, the Pistons get Shake Milton,

359
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: Troy Brown Junior, and then two thousand and thirty second

360
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: round pick. Thoughts on this one with the Wolves TK

361
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: getting sort of a backup guard.

362
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: Well, the Wolves are thirtieth in turnover rate this season,

363
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: and turnovers have been a problem. And there's only one

364
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 4: guy on the entirety of the Basketball Reference database who

365
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 4: has a nickname about his assist to turnover ratio. So

366
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 4: the Timberwolves went out up and got him, and I

367
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: guess this is what they're thinking, a low cost acquisition.

368
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 4: Shake Milton basically out of the rotation for the Timberwolves.

369
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: The same with Troy Brown Jr. And then they've traded

370
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 4: so many picks at this point that they're fine throwing

371
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 4: in that twenty thirty second round pick, in for a pound,

372
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 4: in for a penny, in for a pound, I think

373
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: is how it goes right, Penny first, pound second. Personally,

374
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 4: he would be last on my list behind Tyas Jones

375
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: and Delon Wright. Those guys probably cost a little bit

376
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 4: more to get him in, So I think this is

377
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 4: fair considering he played for the Denver Nuggets when Tim

378
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 4: Connolly was the guy who was the GM there as well,

379
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: so he's a helpful backup point guard. I think.

380
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Timberwolves have been dropping off from the first

381
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 3: three quarters to their fourth quarter. They actually have the

382
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 3: ninth leading offensive rating at times for the first three

383
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: quarters and then they dropped to twenty seventh in the

384
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: fourth because they just don't have guards to help out

385
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: become stagnant. They stopped moving the ball, and Mike Conley

386
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 3: needs somebody, and that's exactly what they're getting here, just

387
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: somebody who can help. They had this film session where

388
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: they all got into it. They all talked about what

389
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 3: the hell was going on in our fourth quarter? They

390
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 3: lost games to the Hornets, Spurs and Bowls recently where

391
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: they gave up leads. They need this guy for spacing

392
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: and turnovers. They have a tough schedule the rest of

393
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: the way, so Mike Conley he's old, he's got a rest,

394
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna help, and that's exactly what they signed for.

395
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: Good news, everybody, Yeah, do it. We got all sales,

396
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 4: the trade we do indeed, well, it was reporting the

397
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 4: Indiana Pacers are trading Buddy Healed to the seventy six

398
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: Ers from Marcus Morris, Furking, Cork mis Free had three

399
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: second round picks.

400
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: Here we go. So yeah, seventy six Ers were rumored

401
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 2: with a lot of guys yesterday, Buddy Heel being one

402
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: of them. You know, there's Kelly Lennok. Obviously there was

403
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: the ideas of maybe Dejontay Murray and Bogdanovitch on the Hawks.

404
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: But it's Buddy Healed getting shooter in here woes again,

405
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: Healed going to the Sixers Marcus Morris, Furkan and then

406
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: three second round picks. Your immediate reaction as we find

407
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: out about this live right here on Notunks.

408
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: Well, it's great to hear that Sixers aren't giving up

409
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 3: this season because amongst the talk was, oh, they're going

410
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 3: to trade away Tobias Harris, which really doesn't make sense.

411
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: The guy's a starter and he's good, and they're getting

412
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: back a shooter here for other guys who aren't as

413
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: big as Tobias Harris Is who can shoot the ball.

414
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 3: That's absolutely true. And the Pacers were ready to give

415
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: up on Buddy in an expiring deal because they're deep enough,

416
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: they have enough shooters, and they were ready to say

417
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: goodbye because he basically lost his starting lineup when they decided,

418
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: all right, we need bigger, tougher dudes who defend and

419
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 3: shoot the three. So the Sixers get one that is

420
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: just going to come off the bench and give space

421
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: for Joel Embiid once he comes back, because he has

422
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 3: great percentages. The percentages are damn good for Buddy. Heal,

423
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 3: but he'll definitely be coming off the bench for the Sixers.

424
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any doubt about that.

425
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Buddy held in fifty two games this year, so

426
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 2: he's very durable, playing in a lot of their games,

427
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: probably all of their games. Thirty eight percent from deep,

428
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: which is actually, you know, for him, sort of a

429
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: down you're a bad year, but that's still above average.

430
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: Three point shooting last year was like forty two and

431
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: a half percent. But he comes in here to stretch

432
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: the floor. Give him twelve points per game, and yeah,

433
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: this is one the writing's been on the wall for

434
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: a while. TK, it's not really surprising that the Pacers

435
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: are moving off from him. You know, the players coming

436
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: back are not going to move the needle. I don't

437
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: even know if they're ever going to play. I mean,

438
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: I guess maybe Morris and Furkhm, but I guess it's

439
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: the picks. These second round picks, a bunch of them

440
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: for Buddy your thoughts.

441
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: Buddy Heal is a guy who's made a lot of

442
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 4: trade request, as is Furkan Korkmas, so I'm happy they're

443
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 4: in the same deal for each other. That's great for them.

444
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: The Sixers needed to make a move to stay competitive.

445
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 4: We saw last night against the Warriors, great MVP case

446
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 4: for Joel Embiid because they look pretty bad with him

447
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 4: out right now. So a little bit of an offensive

448
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: bump I think definitely helps the Sixers. Windhorse reported yesterday

449
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 4: that the Sixers planned on making one to three trades today,

450
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: so this is apparently the first one. And you know,

451
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 4: I think pretty fair for them to send out guys

452
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 4: who aren't gonna be long term rotation pieces, but also

453
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: keep your first round picks, keep your bigger deals in

454
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: like Tobias Harris. They can package Tobias Harris and a

455
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: pick to actually try and get a big name player

456
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 4: if they wanted to. And the Sixers have said for

457
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 4: a while they're trying to keep cap space open. So

458
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: Buddy heals an expiring contract, if I'm not mistaken, so

459
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: they will still have cap space in the summer. As

460
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 4: of now, good stuff.

461
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: Second round picks are the hot trend right now. Oh well,

462
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: they're all going right now. The NBA Draft is going

463
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: to be so hot because they have now pushed back

464
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 3: the second round to a second night, and so people

465
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 3: are gonna be talking about who's gonna be traded tonight,

466
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: Who's gonna be traded tonight? Over two nights, it's gonna

467
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 3: be huge. You're just gonna be sleepover parties. The GM's

468
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: gonna be sleeping each other's room. What are you gonna

469
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: do with tomorrow? What are we gonna do tomorrow? I

470
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 3: think the second round picks are they are quite hot.

471
00:21:52,680 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: The three second round picks is I know, Buddy's good. Yeah,

472
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: that's a lot.

473
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 2: Feels like, oh yeah, yeah, I guess so. Look I

474
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: like that, Like you said it already, Maury, They're not

475
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: punting on this season. That's probably a good sign that

476
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: maybe what they know about Jowell Embiid and the likelihood

477
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: of him coming back this season, that's cool. I think

478
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: they really would have liked a two way player. Can't

479
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: say Buddy's really that no three point shooter. Obviously space

480
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: round Embiid, that makes sense, but you know, they're looking

481
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 2: for a guy I think that could contribute on both ends.

482
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: That's not Buddy. But yeah, they may not be done.

483
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 2: This is Daryl murray Man. He lives for a trade

484
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: deadline day. You know, you'd imagine there's at least another

485
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: deal or two, like minor ones, maybe a big one

486
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: from Maury. I will say. Chris Haynes was reporting here,

487
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen minutes ago a deal between the Hawks

488
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 2: and the Pelicans for de Jontay Murray has halted with

489
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: no progress in sight by the trade deadline, So that

490
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: one might be done. That one was always tough to

491
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: figure out anyway, sort of like why would the Pelicans

492
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: really want a guy like de Jontay Murray? How he

493
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: fits with their team? But anyway, Yeah, it doesn't look

494
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 2: like that one's gonna going down.

495
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they were apparently asking for a conglu as well.

496
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: The Pelicans were, and that to me even makes it

497
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 4: a non sure for the Hawks, so I can see

498
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 4: why that would stall. Also, apparently Miles Bridges will not

499
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: waive his no trade clause, so he's staying in Charlotte.

500
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: Okay, there's that as well. Any thoughts on any of

501
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 2: that stuff there though, especially the Pelicans Hawks steal maybe

502
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: falling apart for de Jonte.

503
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think that Dejonte and his air quotes,

504
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: back spasms were really a trade for sure. I thought

505
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: he's been injured all season long.

506
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: You're saying last night on the injury report, he's suddenly

507
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: out of the game.

508
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so was Clint Capella. And then I thought, okay,

509
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: Clint's on the move. But apparently he's out seven to

510
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: ten days and he's getting a little older, so it

511
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: makes it a little less likely that teams are going

512
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 3: to trade for him, even though the future is and

513
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: you Cankongolu a center and they signed him to a

514
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: good extension the braids or the brace the Atlanta Hawks did,

515
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 3: so they're not trading him. I don't think.

516
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: I don't You don't think the Hawks are going to

517
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: trade de Jihonte at all today.

518
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 3: Well, if there's a good deal out there, yeah, the

519
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 3: Pelicans kind of doesn't really make sense. Him and c

520
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: J McCollum together. It's fine, but I don't think so.

521
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: The best deal. Where's the deal, I mean right now,

522
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: if we believe it, it's probably the Lakers with the picks.

523
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: Way in the future. Maybe there's a swamp as well,

524
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: but then you got to get probably Dangela Russell to

525
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: a third team. So now you've got to rope in

526
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: another team for the likelihood of Dejonte finding his way

527
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: to play with Lebron and ad the Lakers, and it's

528
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: maybe not even enough from Atlanta for Atlanta.

529
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: I agree. Yeah, the Lakers only have one first round

530
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: pick to trade, that's all they have to trade. And

531
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: the Hawks gave up many three in a pick swap

532
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 3: for de Jontay Murray just a year ago, so they

533
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 3: probably want more. But yeah, they've been asked. Everybody's asking

534
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves and D'angela Russell, and the Lakers are saying,

535
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 3: actually it's Angelo Russell that's trending on Twitter tonight. I

536
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 3: don't know who you're talking about. We don't have D'Angelo

537
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: Russell It's Angelo as always whenever Dangela Russell is trending,

538
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 3: it's Angelo whoever that is?

539
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 4: Really? Yeah?

540
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 2: Is this because the hyphen in it in the I

541
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 2: mean yeah.

542
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 3: I guess I didn't know that. It's always Angelo Angelo

543
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: Russell Angel.

544
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so look, this is exciting a trade happening while

545
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: we're live here. Buddy Healed going to the seventy six

546
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: ers and then all those minor deals from yesterday.

547
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 6: Uh.

548
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: There it is for everyone joining us on YouTube.

549
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: Guy's gonna shootroom, He's gonna shoot. They had get the

550
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: Sixers had guys like Marcus Morris already on the roster.

551
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: They had enough of those you know, three and D

552
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 3: type guys.

553
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 4: I got them all from the Clippers.

554
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right.

555
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 4: That's what I said. We'll give you three fore men

556
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: and they all play the exact same. Yeah. Marcus Morris.

557
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: Does he take his key to the city with him

558
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: to Indiana? Oh?

559
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

560
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: Or does he just leave it somewhere in the walls

561
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 4: Fargo Arena when he gets back?

562
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: Every door also an option? Well you think the key

563
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: opens every door in the city. I just assume that's

564
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: what it does. Why else would they get these things away.

565
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 2: I never thought about it that way.

566
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 4: That's real power, really real power and real trust. They're like,

567
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: you can't be a creep, that's right, having you a

568
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: key to the city. Yeah, I saw the press conference

569
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: for Marcus Morris getting the key to the city. Did

570
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: they give him like a novelty key or just an

571
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 4: actual What did Markith get?

572
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 3: Nothing?

573
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: Nothing?

574
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: Does he get the lock?

575
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: The lock and the key they go together. Okay, let's

576
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: take a break, but I will remind you before we

577
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: do that. Coming up at two pm Eastern, We're gonna

Speaker 2: the buzzer for the trade deadline at three pm Eastern,

580
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: and we'll do a couple hours of hopefully reacting to

581
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 2: some of the other trades that maybe happen after we

582
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: wrap up this pod, and then when we go live

583
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: again again, like I said, at the deadline, so can't

587
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: I saw Jerome put his hand up, so we might

588
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: have another trade. But we'll be back in a second.

589
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,160

596
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,120

597
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: going to the Pistons and we said that might open

598
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: up some room that might clear the runway for Abaji

599
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 2: on the Jazz. Well, so much for that, because right

600
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: before we went to break Woes tweeting that the Jazz

601
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: are finalizing a trade to send Kelly Olynyk and Ojaiabase

602
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: to the Raptors for Kierra Lewis Otto Porter and a

603
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four first round pick. Yeah, we got the

604
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: Jazz and Raptors making a deal.

605
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 4: Here.

606
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 2: Trader Danny's doing things today. And that first round pick,

607
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: we are learning will be the least favorable of the Thunder, Clippers,

608
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: Rockets Jazz in twenty four. That's the one the least

609
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: favorable of those four teams.

610
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 4: Clippers right now, I guess.

611
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: Clippers and Thunder Yeah, right there, Neck and next, so

612
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: you know, late first round, let's call it that. We

613
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: got another playing for Toronto. How do you feel Kelly

614
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: captain Canada.

615
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 3: I feel like they might move him immediately. I think

616
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 3: there are a lot of teams that were looking for

617
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 3: a center that can shoot the three ball that are

618
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: actually contending for a championship. He would fit on the

619
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: Lakers as a backup, so that's possible. Otherwise there's a

620
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: Canadian Oh Chaiabaji. It felt like, yeah, there might be

621
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: a little bit of a runway in Utah. Well he

622
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: got on the runway and he's going to Toronto.

623
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: Play.

624
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on up.

625
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 3: He is the guy who got traded for Donovan Mitchells

626
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: as a draft pick just last year. This is second

627
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: year in the league. He is nearing twenty four years

628
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: of age, and he hasn't hasn't been incredible in Utah. Actually,

629
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: Will Hardy has kind of put him at the back

630
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: of the rotation. He's obviously a ridiculously athletic guy, but

631
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: that is what the Raps are giving up a late

632
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: first rounder for no disrespect to Kelly Olinik, who could

633
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: do things, but that's who they're trading for. I guess

634
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: to see to see their relationship.

635
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: You think this is more about Abaji, Yeah, I think so.

636
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: I don't think he has a huge future in the league.

637
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: He's very handsome though, one of the most handsome guys

638
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: in the league if you ask me. I feel like

639
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 4: this is just a gett a litic play.

640
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.

641
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: And I don't think they'll ship him because if there

642
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: was a like a better first round pick that's available,

643
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 4: wouldn't Utah just do that trade?

644
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: Yea.

645
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: I honestly don't know why the Raptors.

646
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: Are doing that.

647
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think they should be trading a pick

648
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: right now.

649
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 3: Kelly Olin, he's been around, he's gonna be thirty three soon.

650
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: The Rap saint winning anything immediately. I mean, he's nice

651
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: to have on the on the bench, but he's getting

652
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: a little bit older. He's got to go help a

653
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: really good team. It's just kind of confusing from the

654
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: Rap side. He's I assume, assize thinking which Abaji we

655
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: can try him out. I'm guessing. I'm guessing. And the

656
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 3: Kyra Lewis roun that was quick that of course, Yeah,

657
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: that hasn't worked out for Kira Lewis another ridiculously athletic

658
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: guy for New Orleans for years, but late first rounder

659
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: has not one. I mean it wasn't that late at all.

660
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: What was he fifteen fourteen? Yeah, some Yeah, he hasn't

661
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: worked out for any team.

662
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Olenik is an expiring deal. He's making twelve point

663
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 2: one million this year, but that's you know, obviously coming

664
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: off the books at the end of the year. He's

665
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: at the end of the year. He's been playing really

666
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: well and that's why his name had been linked to

667
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: all these like good teams. The Raptors are not, but

668
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: as a possible sort of guy where you could maybe

669
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: convince yourself, oh yeah, he could be a difference maker

670
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: in a potential playoff series. But yeah, right now going

671
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: to the Raptors, this one is surprising, very surprising. What's

672
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: miss I gonna do next. We're gonna get Andrew Wiggins.

673
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna go make an aggressive move for Dylan Brooks.

674
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: That were just literally going, let's got Team Canada out

675
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: there into because this is wild. With r J. Barrett

676
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: and Kelly O.

677
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: Linox, it is wild. He's got to be on the

678
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: horn with Rob Polenka saying Lakers take him, He'll help

679
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis. He'll give him rome within the three point

680
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: line because this guy can hit the center spot. He

681
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: can help a championship team. That's for the Raps.

682
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you really think that messai here is making

683
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: this move because he could he sees maybe a better

684
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 2: like return for olymic Here immediately.

685
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 3: It makes the most sense to me. I guess from

686
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: a SIS perspective, our team's gonna be good. Kelly Olynic's

687
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: gonna help. That's that's a debatable at this point. It

688
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: ain't gonna be for this year.

689
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: But he's going to help. But yeah, yeah, what is

690
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't move the needle.

691
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: They ain't making the play in tournament this year. So

692
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna help a team not making a play in

693
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 3: tournament unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah.

694
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: And then the pick, yeah, which is surprising. Again it's

695
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: a first round pick at the end. But still, I

696
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: know it's a crappy draft, but that's that's capital that

697
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: most of these teams want. Strange. This is a weird movie.

698
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 4: It's a weird one pretty weird move. I mean, the

699
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 4: Raptors need three point shooting and that's what Olynic brings.

700
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: And that's if you if you squint and you look

701
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: through rose colored glasses. That's why Abaji brings as well.

702
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 4: I suppose that he's shooting thirty three percent this year

703
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 4: and thirty five last year. He's supposed to be a shooter. Yeah,

704
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 4: this doesn't make sense for the Raptors to be.

705
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're maybe maybe you're right task that Obaji

706
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: is actually the play here. That they see something that

707
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: you know, he's stagnated here in his second year in Utah.

708
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: He's been buried.

709
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: Of course.

710
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: I got a lot of talent there and that that

711
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: they think there's a little bit of diamond in the

712
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: rough there. That's maybe maybe yeah, hopefully, I guess as

713
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: the Raptors. Otherwise, it's perplexing any other deals, So we

714
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: need to address here. Any other Canadians headed home?

715
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 3: No, okay, a lot of Canadians. Yeah, this is gotta

716
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: be the most Canadians ever to play for this team.

717
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: We've got three of them right now. And Bouchet is

718
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: still there. He might be traded. He should be traded

719
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: today and.

720
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 4: Maybe they got to keep the quota can gone.

721
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people don't know this. Actually have

722
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: to have one or two Canadians on the rosters at

723
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: all the time. Uh, okay, Well let's talk about another Canadian. Well,

724
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: we'll get into some games from last night, but obviously

725
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: keep our eyes on Woja and Schaum's Andrew Wiggins. Great

726
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: timing here, he had a double double led the Warriors

727
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: to the one twenty seven one oh four win over

728
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: the seventy six ers, and it's got people wondering task

729
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: does Wiggins like little little revival here make it easier

730
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: for the Warriors to you know, keep him at the

731
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: deadline and Steve Curse and we got a team here. Look,

732
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: we've got.

733
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: Enough, We got all sales and team.

734
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can do this. Well do you think of

735
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: Wiggins last night? And yeah, as you know, his name

736
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: obviously coming up a lot in trade rumors, but a

737
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: tough contracted deal.

738
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: It's great to see Wiggy getting back to wiggy stuff.

739
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: He looks since Draymond Green has come back from the suspension,

740
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: a lot more like Andrew Wiggins, a lot more like

741
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: that guy that was literally their best perimeter defender on

742
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: the way to championship. That being said, I don't think

743
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: he would garner a lot back in return at this point,

744
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 3: because you know how long its contract is for, how

745
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: how he's played this season literally his worst number since

746
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: he was a rookie. But it's great to see him

747
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: out there defending and running and playing with Jonathan Kaminga.

748
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: This is what it is. They're playing their best five

749
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: together to start, and Curry and Clay, Draymond Kaminga and

750
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins. Those guys are playing really well together. So

751
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: it's it's part of a deal here where everybody's thinking, oh,

752
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: the Golden State's going to make a trade. I don't

753
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: think they're making a trade for any of these guys.

754
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: Draymond's too good as part of this team. They've literally

755
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 3: dropped out. They've dropped or excuse me, bumped up to

756
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: like the seventh best defense since Green came back. And

757
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 3: he's got to be there. And they're not trading wings.

758
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 3: They're not trained coming. I don't think they're trading Clay.

759
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: I know Chris Paul was the hot one. Are they

760
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: trading Chris Paul if they're bad. It's nice to have

761
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: an unguaranteed contract next season where he comes off the

762
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 3: books and he was good to help out that second unit,

763
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: so he will be playing. So I don't think they

764
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 3: make a deal. And it's great to see what wiggy get

765
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: a wiggy with it?

766
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit. Wiggins in only twenty three minutes

767
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 2: twenty one points, nine to fourteen shooting ten boards. You'd

768
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: always like to see that from Wiggins. And he does

769
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 2: a good job on Maxie. He had that assignment for

770
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 2: most of the night last night. I know there's no

771
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 2: Embeid and the Sixers are reeling right now, but kept

772
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 2: Maxie in check, holding him to five or fourteen shooting

773
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: and three turnovers. So good stuff from Wiggins. What do

774
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: you think of Golden State here at the deadline?

775
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: I love the ten boards. I think that's the most important.

776
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 4: I also love that the Warriors seem to at least

777
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 4: be figuring out on the defensive side of the ball

778
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 4: that Wiggins and Cominga can play alongside Draymond. That's the

779
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 4: most important thing because I don't think there's still a

780
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 4: trademarket for Wiggins. Because I'm with you, guys, I'm like

781
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 4: he is having a revival. He's been really good lately,

782
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 4: and then you go look at his game longs. He's

783
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 4: coming off a nine point game, a two point game

784
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 4: in a game where he was inactive. He's got twice

785
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: as many single digit games as twenty point games in

786
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, So I don't know if he's that

787
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 4: much better, but he's showing more activity. He's still in

788
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: the first year though, of a gigantic deal that's going

789
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 4: to pay him until he's thirty two years old. The

790
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 4: Warrior's best hope is that they get engaged effort Wiggins

791
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 4: for him yest of the season, because they're not going

792
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 4: to get a return back for Wiggins that they're looking

793
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 4: for without having to add a.

794
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: Pick outside of last night's box score. You're right, those

795
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: other games are not going to blow you away. But

796
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: if you watch him, he's definitely playing with more like

797
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: energy and spirit. He's like out of that funk, out

798
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: of that fog that was sort of like that cloud

799
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: hanging over him. At least over the last little bit.

800
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: Can maintain that because he's a difference maker when he

801
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: plays with that spirit. And they've got this lineup you

802
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: said it task like he kuris sort of decided now

803
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: this is our five. Clay's coming to terms with that

804
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 2: reduced role at the end of games. But Kuminga's development

805
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: has been huge. Draymond Green, we know the defensive impact

806
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: he has Clay, you know, Steph Steph, and then and

807
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: then Wiggins is the does he have does he have

808
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 2: any juice? Does he just play like he's the most

809
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: He always should be one of the most athletic guys

810
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: on the floor, and when he and when he's just

811
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: lollygagging out there, it's brutal. He kills you. So he's

812
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: looked better, at least for them.

813
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a little scary because he does come

814
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: off those nine and two point performances, but right before

815
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: that he had a twenty three and a twenty two,

816
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: So he looks good and in bad good and in bad.

817
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 3: The rebounds are important. You're right about that because it's

818
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 3: a tiny team with Draymond starting at the five, because

819
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: they're just not waiting for Kevon Looney to have a

820
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 3: good twenty twenty five minutes. So this is, uh, everything's

821
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 3: important for him trying and Kaminga's athleticism is obviously important.

822
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 3: But this looks like a good team. The Western Conference

823
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: standings are very, very tough, from all the play ins

824
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 3: down even the Nuggets. I'm sorry, excuse me, the mass

825
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: it's got to be a little scary for the mask

826
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 3: got a little scary about for the Kings here as

827
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: they don't look incredible losing to the Pistons, So it's

828
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: it's just stacked. The Western Conference standings are literally stacked.

829
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: In Golden State's eleventh right now, making their way up

830
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: to the play it well, the.

831
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: Clippers took a little step back last night because the

832
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: Pelicans beat them, led by Zion Williamson CJ McCollum, both

833
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: those guys having big fourth quarters one seventeen one oh six.

834
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: Pelicans beat the Red Hot Clips. There's obviously in the

835
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 2: playoffs right now. New Orleans is and we talked about

836
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: them being linked to Jontae Murray, but that's apparently dead.

837
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: What has impressed you the most, tray about the Pelicans

838
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 2: because I feel like they're the most sort of underrated

839
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: team in the league. We never talk about them, You

840
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: never hear any other shows really talk about them, and

841
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: they're playing really good right now.

842
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a pretty good team. And the thing that's

843
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 4: most impressive to me is they've got a top ten

844
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 4: defense per Basketball Reference, with like one and a half

845
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 4: guys who are well respected defenders. Obviously Herb Jones, is clamps,

846
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 4: Jose Alvarado, great off the bench, but he's missed quite

847
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 4: a bit of time and is still just a bench player. Otherwise.

848
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 4: It's like Valentiunis not really known as a rim protector. CJ. McCollum,

849
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 4: he's not known as a defender. But they've got length

850
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 4: everywhere outside of their guard positions, where Alvarado's a shorty

851
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 4: and McCollum isn't very big. Everybody else has crazy long

852
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 4: arms and seems to be at least six foot six

853
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 4: inches tall. So they give a lot of effort. They

854
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 4: do everything pretty well. They force turnovers at an OK rate.

855
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 4: They rebound really really well. That's something Valentunis is great at.

856
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 4: He cleans the glass. They just are pretty good at

857
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 4: everything defensively, which lets them compete in games when they're

858
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: playing well enough offensively. I think that's another thing that's

859
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 4: surprising is that the Pelicans have been this good with

860
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 4: Zion having an OK season, Like we tossed his name

861
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 4: into All Star conversations, but he was kind of behind

862
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 4: Brandon Ingram when they were in first place last year.

863
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 4: It was cause Zion was dominating. He is not dominating

864
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 4: this season, but I do think he's taken a little

865
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 4: step forward with regards to his playmaking, he's a career

866
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 4: high and assists right now, He's got a career high

867
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 4: assist rate as well. His usage is down. You could

868
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 4: say he's not engaged, or he could say he's just

869
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 4: getting off the ball earlier. It's helping the Pelicans, whatever

870
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 4: it is, but they figured out a way to be

871
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 4: a pretty good team despite their superstars not necessarily being

872
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 4: superstars every night.

873
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeas Zion had one of those nights where people are

874
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: talking about he just doesn't look like an All Star

875
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: and he came out slow scoring. He only had two

876
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 3: points in the first half, but he had a great

877
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 3: fourth quarter and he helps out making assists. That's what

878
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: he does. And the Clippers, Yeah, came back after a

879
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 3: long road trip. Tends to happen. It's what happened to

880
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 3: Sacramento to the Pistons seven game road trip. You have

881
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 3: a stinker. Yeah, And Tyler was asked about it during

882
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 3: the broadcast. What do you have to do to play better?

883
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, That's what he literally said, because it

884
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 3: was hard. It's hard to Yeah, it's a long season

885
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 3: and literally the first game after the road trips ten

886
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 3: to stink. I know, Kings fans are just mad at

887
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 3: their performance last night, sure, but it just happens to

888
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: this literally was fun while the Clippers were in first

889
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference. It was a fun day. That's it.

890
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 3: An they're gone now, they're gone the place.

891
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: Half to be impact now. I think what the Pelicans

892
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 2: season has been so funny too, especially when you talk

893
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: about Zion, because like, you're right, he has not been

894
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 2: like wow, all NBA Zion, but he's been good still,

895
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 2: but he just picked the worst time ever to have

896
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: like those really disappointing games. I'm talking about the inn

897
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: season tournament, and then he looked like crap. Everybody was

898
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: like complaining about him and wondering about his effort and

899
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 2: his weight and all that, and everybody just decided, well,

900
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 2: we're moving on from the Pelicans. They're nothing, don't worry

901
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: about them. And that happened. And then of course they've

902
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: still played really really well here and you went through

903
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: all the metrics tray, you know they're thirty and twenty one.

904
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: That's a good record. They're tied with the Suns. You know,

905
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 2: they improved better record wise than the Kings, who obviously

906
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 2: picked up an last night, which we can talk about

907
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 2: in a second. But I think they're really fun to

908
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: watch too. I like I like a lot of their

909
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 2: their roster. They're they're guys because everybody is helping so good.

910
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 4: Everybody, even like Najie Marshall, and like somebody should pick

911
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 4: up Naji Marshall and be solid. And another thing that

912
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 4: impressed me, Antonio Daniels is probably top three color commentator

913
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: for me in the league. Homer Card, Stacy King is

914
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 4: in the mix as well. You got a lot of

915
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 4: Clyde Fraser. But I love Antonio Daniels. You can tell

916
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 4: he loves watching this team play. He's super exciting. I

917
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 4: think him and Joel Myers are very very funny together.

918
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

919
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 4: I think they were calling him Grady Richard when they

920
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 4: played the Raptors. That's a whole lot Crady Richard.

921
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: Let's get Let's move over to the surprise of the night,

922
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 2: Jade and Ivy scoring a career high thirty seven points

923
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: to lead the Pistons past the Kings one thirty three,

924
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 2: one twenty. Now you're saying this is a bit of

925
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: a schedule loss task, boss.

926
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's the Pistons, No, their defense is

927
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 3: struggling at times, this season for the Sacramental Kings. That's

928
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 3: why I'm very interested in next few hours if they

929
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: go in try and get the Kuzma or whoever to

930
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 3: be that power forward spot. Because their defense is bad.

931
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 3: They let the Piston shoot above fifty percent from three.

932
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 3: That's the seventh time they've done that this season. That

933
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 3: doesn't happen in a lot in NBA games where teams

934
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 3: shoot that well. Only the Spurs and the Nets have

935
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 3: allowed that many times for their opponents to shoot fifty percent.

936
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: So that's the worrist part. Sacramento Kings have dropped down

937
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 3: to the play in tournament at this point. That's very scary. Yeah,

938
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 3: and I bring up Kyle Kuzman because I wonder are

939
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 3: they going to try and go for it. It's it's

940
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 3: the defensive side that's been a problem. Pistons had no Kid,

941
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 3: no Boy, and mcdanovich in this one. And it's nice

942
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: that Monty Williams has gave Jade and Ivy the keys

943
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 3: at times because he didn't at the beginning of the season.

944
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: That's part of why they've stunk. But yeah, thirty seven

945
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 3: the five from seven from three is ridiculous. That the

946
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 3: fourth quarter was ridiculous where he had a nineteen point

947
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 3: fourth quarter Sacramento Kams were just letting them play Io.

948
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: Continue to let them play Iso, and their defenses is

949
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 3: a big question. It's the effort I think on the

950
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 3: question even even yes, long trip coming back, but I

951
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 3: should say the offense is a question too. Like Fox,

952
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: we went through the wiganstats where he have a twenty

953
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 3: point games and have a nine point game. It kind

954
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 3: of happens to Fox and Monk, both those guys. They're

955
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: not twenty point game twenty point scores every single game.

956
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's the scary part to Watson. Bonus is

957
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 3: their steadiest best player Fox, Sometimes he fades a little

958
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 3: bit and their defense is it ain't there unfortunately, so

959
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 3: it's weird to see them in a play in tournament

960
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 3: spot now at this.

961
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 2: The Kings have a horrible habit of playing to the

962
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 2: level of their opponent. They do it all the time.

963
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 2: They look great against good teams, and then they will

964
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 2: lose to bad teams like the Pistons, who improved to

965
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: three and twenty on the road, seven and forty three

966
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 2: ozh overall. And yeah, Ivy was awesome. He was blowing

967
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 2: by Herder every single time. He's just too fast for

968
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: Kevin Herder, but offensively right, Keithan Murray zero points in

969
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 2: twenty minutes, Fox bad game five to fourteen, twelve points,

970
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 2: and then Harrison Barnes didn't hit a three eight points.

971
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 2: That's three other starters right there. Sibonis, He's he is

972
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 2: the one, the steady guy. He's basically always good for

973
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: you know, twenty ten and eight. It feels like every night,

974
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 2: if not more. But those other guys sort of hit

975
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 2: and miss. But it was a bad loss, and Mike

976
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: Brown was going, no excuses, come on this, we should

977
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 2: be beating a team like this, and they again they

978
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 2: carried themselves like, we'll play one quarter, you know, we'll

979
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 2: play eight minutes of defense, will win this game. Ironically,

980
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 2: it sort of worked.

981
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 4: They almost had them.

982
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: They just did it too soon, because yeah, they were

983
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: down big. Then they locked in, they took the lead,

984
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 2: and then Ivy said no, no, no, we're getting a victory

985
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 2: tonight and Kings came up short. But any thoughts on.

986
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 4: Once you start rolling, it's hard to turn that water off.

987
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 4: And they could not stand in front of Ivy and

988
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: then it was just overhelping, which led to wide open

989
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 4: three pointers for the Pistons. They took thirty one three

990
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 4: point attempts last night. Fifteen were considered wide open by

991
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 4: NBA dot COM's tracking data, and fifteen were just considered

992
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 4: standard open. So one of them they defended. Well, right,

993
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 4: that's how the p that's made seventeen threes last night.

994
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: This is just weird. Pistons are three and thirty seven

995
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 4: without Kate with Kate Cunningham in the lineup, four and

996
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 4: six without Kate Cunningham. Well, something to keep tracking, keep.

997
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: Tracking, keep tracking, keep tracking, keep your eye on that.

998
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 2: Interesting the other games last night, because I want you

999
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: to get your uh, your cowboy hat ready. Here we

1000
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 2: had Porzingis and White leading the Celtics to a win

1001
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 2: over the Hawks. We had Donovan Mitchell who is on fire.

1002
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 2: He scored forty again. Calves beat the Wizards. That's their

1003
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 2: seventh straight win. Jimmy Butler had a triple double as

1004
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 2: the Heat pulled away from the Spurs one sixteen, one

1005
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: to four. But come on, let's talk trades.

1006
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got one thought here? Oh what Jmi Bickerstaff

1007
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 4: should coach the All Star Game? Sure, Calves passed the

1008
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 4: Bucks like the day after Doc Rivers got the got

1009
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 4: the call because of where the Bucks record is. But

1010
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 4: now the Calves are in second, and they're still in second,

1011
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 4: so I think it's gonna be JB. Bickerstaff since Doc

1012
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 4: has been there for five games.

1013
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I said this when we were

1014
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: like debating, what the hell's going on?

1015
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 3: Wait?

1016
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: Why don't they just go down a tier go to

1017
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: the next team? Who cares exactly if it's not the

1018
00:45:58,880 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: first place team?

1019
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 4: It's like care?

1020
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand, I got rules, but yeah.

1021
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 4: It should be JB.

1022
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 2: Bicks. Okay, well we've got a couple. Actually, yes, we

1023
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: do trades.

1024
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: Bruce Brown.

1025
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 3: I see a cowboy hat must be no no.

1026
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 2: No, no, no no no. A man that probably never

1027
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: puts on a hat because he likes his haircut. Gordon

1028
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: Hayward where going? Yeah, okay, we are learning from a

1029
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: wosh here that Gordon Hayward, yes, is headed to the

1030
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder for Trey Man and Davis Burton's. Yeah

1031
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: you forgot about Burton's. Didn't the old fat deal that

1032
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 2: he's got, But yeah, I guess the Thunder here adding

1033
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 2: you know, obviously a former All Star still times looks

1034
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 2: really good and can put up some numbers. But getting

1035
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 2: a vet in here with all these young guys that's

1036
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 2: gonna bump up their their average age. They got to

1037
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 2: throw that stet out the window because everybody, Oh, I

1038
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: don't know, can they win it with an average age

1039
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: of that young? We never had a team and the

1040
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: team win it with the average age of twenty two?

1041
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: Go to the championship? Oh no, I can get throw

1042
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: that out because we've got Gordon here.

1043
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 3: What do you think? And we're definitely gonna hear. Oh yeah,

1044
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 3: thunders got an All Star. You're gonna hear all the work,

1045
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 3: all Star, all the time. Gordon Abord. It's been a minute.

1046
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 3: He's gonna be turning thirty four soon. His contract is

1047
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 3: coming up with the Charlotte Hornets, that major, major contract

1048
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 3: that he signed. Michael Jordan signed him to this incredible

1049
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 3: deal that he got. It's it's coming to an end.

1050
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 3: But he's definitely good off the bench. That's where he'll

1051
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 3: be playing. He can score, so he can help the

1052
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 3: okay see bench, But the Hornets have to say goodbye

1053
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 3: at this point, right here, right now. When he's healthy,

1054
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 3: I mean, the surgeries and injuries have slowed him down.

1055
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 3: He hasn't been the same guy. But does he play

1056
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: at all? I mean, he has a great question.

1057
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 4: He hasn't literally hasn't played since December twenty.

1058
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 3: Sixth He gets hurt a lot, a lot, he does.

1059
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 3: I guess he's coming back. I guess. I don't have

1060
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: no idea.

1061
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 4: I can't imagine they would trade trade man if Gordon

1062
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 4: isn't gonna play. But man, Skeets. You talk about a

1063
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 4: guy that they're gonna say he could win you a

1064
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 4: quarter in a playoff? Oh hell yeah, absolutely right, Hayward?

1065
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 4: Could he could hit three threes? Do that thing where

1066
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 4: he drives into the lane and stops short. That guy's

1067
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 4: seat belts must be active in his cars because he's

1068
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 4: always stopping short for the little pop ups. But uh, sure, yeah,

1069
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 4: he'll be a veteran helper there, I suppose in okay see,

1070
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 4: assuming he's able to get on the court, and then

1071
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 4: I think a worthy roll of the dice for the

1072
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 4: Charlotte Hornets picking up Trey Man a guy who wants

1073
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 4: the first round talent just out of the picture in

1074
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 4: ok see, though he did put himself in that picture

1075
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 4: once upon that photoshop.

1076
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: Yeah he is uh, he just turned twenty three years old.

1077
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 2: So I'm with you, a bit of a flyer here

1078
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: for the Hornets, maybe also doing good for Gordon Hayward

1079
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: a little bit here, and in trading him good Gord

1080
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: to a good team. I don't know it's possibility, but yeah,

1081
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: obviously Berton's also is he an expiring? Yeah, Berton's expiring

1082
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 2: as well.

1083
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 3: They gave up on the Burt, which is I guess

1084
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 3: they didn't want that. And Trey Man has his minutes

1085
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 3: have been reduced a lot. Okay, see, but good for

1086
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 3: Charlotte to give him a shot.

1087
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And another trade it's minor, but the seventy six

1088
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: Ers are trading Daniel House Junior and a twenty twenty

1089
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: four second round pick by way of the Knicks to

1090
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 2: the Pistons. Man the Pistons are active, and we said it,

1091
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 2: Morey wasn't done and that's a that's House going there.

1092
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell was what I did

1093
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: I even say anything returning? No, No, that's one of

1094
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: those trades where we're still waiting.

1095
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 4: To Okay, we got WOJ added a little context. The

1096
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 4: move gives the Sixers salary cap cushion to sign buyout

1097
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 4: player's post deadline, including the possibility of here we go

1098
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 4: Charlotte's Kyle Lowry should he become available in a contract.

1099
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 4: Buy it.

1100
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: Okay, oh baby, oh my god. If you're joining us

1101
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 2: on YouTube, you're gonna love this graph of text. Somebody

1102
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: tweet this graphic right now. So, yes, house going to

1103
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: the Pistons along with along with the second round pick,

1104
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 2: which we talked about them, you know, giving up one.

1105
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 2: Maybe they would get one back. I mean it's maybe

1106
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: not as good, but they do. And then yeah, Sixers

1107
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 2: maybe doing a move here for the future tasks when

1108
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: it comes to buy out guys. And you want to

1109
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 2: talk about giving Kyle Lowry maybe the key to the city, Yes,

1110
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 2: that'll get a key.

1111
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 3: Yes, and sorry, Patrick Beverley, I'm taking your key because

1112
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverley is their backup guard. Kyle Lowry would be

1113
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 3: a key guy. He helped the Heat get to the

1114
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 3: finals last year as their backup guard. But he played

1115
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 3: a lot and he played good. So I thought, yeah

1116
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 3: that this would as soon as Charlotte deal was done.

1117
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 3: It made sense for him to go there. Made sense

1118
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 3: a little bit to the Lakers, and it's great to

1119
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 3: see that the Sixers aren't giving up and that embiids knees.

1120
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 3: We'll probably bring him back within weeks. You need those

1121
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 3: knees obviously, so it's great to hear that. But Kyle Lowry,

1122
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 3: the Kyler we are signing, it can help, I brought

1123
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 3: up to the Laker official. No, it's not. It can help. Yeah, yeah,

1124
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 3: like I brought up, the Lakers signed Markie Morse to

1125
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 3: start in the playoffs. They sign him as a bio guy.

1126
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 3: That's what happened in twenty twenty when they won the

1127
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 3: NBA championship. Kyle could help. No, I'm not saying six

1128
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 3: they're winning the championship, but he could definitely. Yeah, you

1129
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 3: get help. You get to help a lot.

1130
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 6: Man.

1131
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 2: Things are happening here. Things are happening during the morning podcast,

1132
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: which we like to see. Will there be anything left

1133
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: come two o'clock? What the hell are we gonna do

1134
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: for two hours? They better get some sporkles ready or

1135
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 2: something like that.

1136
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 4: Check our castings.

1137
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 2: I'll try and come up with some more Italian trivia

1138
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 2: for your.

1139
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 3: Great We're gonna open up our mail, that's for sure.

1140
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, we will be live at two pm Eastern.

1141
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 2: I don't we don't care if nothing happens, we'll go

1142
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 2: over maybe some of the any of.

1143
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 4: These three men before God, no, no, there's already saying

1144
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 4: we're keeping kop.

1145
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I had to put the big names on the

1146
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: big faces on the graphic. You know that that's a

1147
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 2: that's a thumbnail rule.

1148
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 4: Okay, if you were going to put three faces on

1149
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 4: the graphic that you think actually will be traded from

1150
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 4: the two to four o'clock, Bruce Brown's got to be.

1151
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 4: He's the number one guy I think will actually be traded.

1152
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that one. Who else? Let me look

1153
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: at Grant Williams, Well, somebody from Dallas.

1154
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 4: Dallas is super in the mix for everybody right now,

1155
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 4: for everybody.

1156
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 2: How about you know I'm gonna put Okay, like Bruce Brown,

1157
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with one of the nets guys, probably

1158
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 2: a Royce O'Neill. He's going to be moved for a

1159
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 2: second round pick.

1160
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 3: And then DFS that is probably and Finney Smith. I'm

1161
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 3: just picking guys that aren't big names. Frankly, likely, what.

1162
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 2: Will happen someone from the maps? I don't know who

1163
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 2: I can't pick, but okay, yeah, I like that mystery

1164
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 2: MAVs man mistery Maxwell.

1165
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 4: They're gonna ship that guy home. That weird Mascot're go

1166
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 4: try to get it forever.

1167
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 2: Face is too scary, a basketball face. Guys on a

1168
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 2: big contract, too tough to move. Okay, we gotta take

1169
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 2: one more break. It's a quick one when we come back.

1170
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 2: Tweet the night, all right, still here in the Classic Factory,

1171
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: our first of two podcasts today. At least love this

1172
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 2: comment though, because we were debating which realistic player should

1173
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 2: we actually have on our trade deadline special graphic, which

1174
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna be live at two pm Eastern, just to

1175
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 2: remind you, we decided on Bruce Brown. Sounded like we

1176
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: came to a consensus on a Royce O'Neill. And then

1177
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 2: in the stream team they're saying, just put Bugdanovich because

1178
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 2: it increases your odds, because we've got two of them

1179
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 2: in the Hawks and the Pistones. So we'll just put

1180
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 2: the name bugged on a vish, not even a player's face.

1181
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: As we wrap up this pod, though, let's get to

1182
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: tweet of the night.

1183
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night, Wow twit.

1184
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 4: Tweet of the night. More like thing we yesterday? The

1185
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 4: boys went to big hoops? What's big hoops. You ask, well,

1186
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 4: it's the world's first tech confused basketball game that allows

1187
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 4: for social competition between all skill levels. Basically, it's top

1188
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 4: golf for basketball, and we had a chance to demo

1189
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 4: it here just outside of Atlanta. You see a bunch

1190
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 4: of different games. They have a bunch of different environments

1191
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 4: you can play in, and then the key is this

1192
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 4: basketball hoop. That switch is from a regular regulation size

1193
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 4: rim to a gigantic big hoop keeping track of your scores.

1194
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 4: You can play all these different kinds of games. Like

1195
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 4: some of them are just about trying to hit a

1196
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 4: shot early in the shot clock so you get more

1197
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 4: points out. They're skeezy, big dumb. Some are a little

1198
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 4: bit more like a standard Papa shot where you're every

1199
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 4: time you make it and add something on. We had

1200
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 4: a great time, played for like an hour and a

1201
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 4: half straight fore arms or firing at the end of it.

1202
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 2: That was really a great time. This is not an ad.

1203
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: We just actually wanted to try this out. Yeah and

1204
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 2: deumble this thing, and uh yeah, I think I'm speaking

1205
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 2: for all of us. We're addicted to it. Nobody wanted

1206
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,439
Speaker 2: to leave yesterday. We're like, hah, everybody's like hopefully there's

1207
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 2: no trades happening because I want to keep shooting around

1208
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 2: on this and battling the guys. This is uh, I mean,

1209
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1210
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 3: I think this is going to be huge, super fun.

1211
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 3: You mentioned that it's like top golf. It is, but

1212
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 3: the games I think even better, a little bit more

1213
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 3: variety with the games.

1214
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 2: That's true.

1215
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 3: That that track that it's on, it's pretty neat. They

1216
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 3: they brought up that it's like at a car factory

1217
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 3: where you've got these these things just moving. This track

1218
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 3: is really really cool. It's not like a top shot

1219
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 3: you get at a Dave and Busters, you know what

1220
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean, where the backboard might move a little bit.

1221
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 3: It was all over the place.

1222
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 4: Oh it's all over the place.

1223
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

1224
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 4: You can just practice at your location way back way high.

1225
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 2: Uh.

1226
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 4: People are asking where is it. They're negotiating spaces right now.

1227
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 4: Like we said, we demoed it so we got to

1228
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 4: see what it was like earlier. But just even being

1229
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 4: in the one place and playing around with it, like

1230
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 4: I wish we had it for a couple of hours

1231
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 4: between the trade podcast right now, but eventually it'll be

1232
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, a big warehouse that has ten of them. Man,

1233
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 4: you know, like a bar and a restaurant that you

1234
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 4: can order food from. Yeah, that is coming soon, I assume,

1235
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 4: hopefully at the end of the year. I think they said.

1236
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 2: I got most intrigued when they were like, when we've

1237
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 2: did it a couple times and obviously we're like all

1238
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,479
Speaker 2: competing and everybody's talking shit and stuff, and they're like, yeah,

1239
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 2: we think like there'll be like ten bays or we

1240
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 2: vision like ten bays in a space like you said,

1241
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 2: a bar and all that, and that you'll be able

1242
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: to like have leagues, like you'll have teams like, well,

1243
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: we have a No Dunk's team and our bay is

1244
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: competing because it's just keeping track of everything against the

1245
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: other teams, be it there or around the world. I'm like,

1246
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 2: oh my god. And then you could be doing all

1247
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 2: the same shots and stuff like that. Like the possibilities

1248
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 2: are endless with this, and I was amazed. I couldn't believe,

1249
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 2: like we knew we were going into it. I'm like, Okay,

1250
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: this'll probably be fun. I didn't think it'd be this slick,

1251
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 2: like the interface and the you know the possibilities of

1252
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 2: the games and stuff like that, and just how it looked,

1253
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 2: especially like you said, tast that track moving, how fluid

1254
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 2: it was.

1255
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was cool.

1256
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 2: It was cool. So Big Hoops keep an eye out

1257
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 2: for that fans. Yeah, we are huge fans. We haven't

1258
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 2: said like they were like, yeah, we could have you

1259
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 2: guys down when we actually officially launched and we could

1260
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 2: have come beat like the No Dunks guys, Like we

1261
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 2: could put our score in and then people could try

1262
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 2: and compete and you can play for prizes and stuff

1263
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: like that. Sounds good.

1264
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 4: Sounds good. You could play in the possibilities are endless.

1265
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, astrome. Any thoughts on on Big Hoops. You guys

1266
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 2: got to come to the warehouse there and try out

1267
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 2: the demo. What do you think.

1268
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 5: Waiting for the camera?

1269
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 2: You can just talk it was.

1270
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 5: It was a super fun time. It's I mean, we're

1271
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 5: all sickos here. If there's a hoop and a ball,

1272
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 5: you're gonna pick it up if anything. Uh, when it

1273
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 5: like this becomes a thing and you can attend it,

1274
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be the most anti social person because all

1275
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:05,200

Speaker 5: Yeah it's but no, I mean, like how quickly we

1278
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 5: saw the interface and once it's swiped. We're just like, oh,

1279
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 5: that's interesting. Literally the first shot up we were hooked.

1280
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like it was a problem. It was like, oh,
