Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show.
Speaker 2: I come to you today the day after the trade deadline,
Speaker 2: and I am still a member of the Gold and
Speaker 2: say words after this trade deadline. I survive my twelfth
Speaker 2: trade deadline, which is exciting, an amazing feeling because you
Speaker 2: just never know, and you can be as certain as
Speaker 2: you want to be until you're not. And so I
Speaker 2: am excited about that. I know some of you are
Speaker 2: very mad about that. Some of you are very happy
Speaker 2: about that, and that's okay. You have the right to
Speaker 2: feel the way you want to feel. I cannot change that.
Speaker 2: I will not try to change that. Although some of
Speaker 2: you come on my Instagram on the Draymond Green Show
Speaker 2: page Instagram and try to change the way I feel,
Speaker 2: you can't change that. And so there's that for you.
Speaker 2: We are going to talk a few things trade deadline,
Speaker 2: about all things trade deadline, and then also our big
Speaker 2: win and closing out a four to one road trip
Speaker 2: against the Indian the.
Speaker 3: Young Running Gun in Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 2: But first before we do that, make sure you subscribe
Speaker 2: to our YouTube channel that is YouTube dot com slash
Speaker 2: at Draymondgreen Show. Make sure you all go subscribe. And
Speaker 2: to our Lawyer subscribers, we thank you. And to our
Speaker 2: lawyer followers, we thank you. And also for those of
Speaker 2: you that have been here, you all know, I hate
Speaker 2: not having a haircut. Number one. My grades show like
Speaker 2: nobody's tomorrow, and it's just not cool. I don't feel
Speaker 2: so good when I don't have a haircut. And my barber,
Speaker 2: Brownie Blends, who's been my barber for eleven years now,
Speaker 2: ten years, eleven years, eleven years.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: It's my brother. And Brownie Blends is a part of
Speaker 2: the shop you all know, the shop Maverick card and
Speaker 2: Lebron James, the shop uninterrupted. Brownie Bens Blends has been
Speaker 2: a mainstay on the shop pretty much since year one,
Speaker 2: and that's just continued to blossom and blossom, and I
Speaker 2: love that for him. However, you know, one of those
Speaker 2: things is when people are like they want to see
Speaker 2: you do well, but not better than them, like that
Speaker 2: old saying. And it's not quite that I don't want
Speaker 2: to see him do better than me, because I want
Speaker 2: to see all my brothers do great, and I want
Speaker 2: to see him do well. But like the shop is
Speaker 2: like pulling him like left and right, and I can't
Speaker 2: get haircuts anymore. And so for all our subscribers out there,
Speaker 2: go spam at Brownie Underscore Blends on Instagram and give
Speaker 2: me a haircut because it's bad out here and I
Speaker 2: can't get like bruh as the super Bowl weekend. Oh
Speaker 2: we got to shop, Like, I can't get a haircut
Speaker 2: and it's bad and I want to go to super
Speaker 2: Bowl too, you know, so please do that for me.
Speaker 2: Spam it. Let's go treat them like like the Swifties
Speaker 2: or something like that. Like go ahead the Instagram comments
Speaker 2: like that every picture Draymond needed a haircut. Go kill
Speaker 2: his Instagram right now. Let's get into it. Does beat
Speaker 2: the Pacers one thirty one, one oh nine four and
Speaker 2: one on the road trip, only lost being the Hawks
Speaker 2: and overtime, which is a game that a we still
Speaker 2: could have won. Dejonte hit a tough shot to send
Speaker 2: in the overtime and de Jontey took over and overtime.
Speaker 2: But also it was huge not having Andrew Wiggins to
Speaker 2: guard Trey Young. That is wigs match up, and Trey
Speaker 2: Young gave us hell and possibly got himself into the
Speaker 2: replacement in the All Star Game with that game. But
Speaker 2: Tray gave us absolute and complete hell and we end
Speaker 2: up losing that game. But nonetheless, a four and one
Speaker 2: East Coast nine ten day road trip you can't beat that.
Speaker 2: We'll take it. Things are starting to move in the
Speaker 2: right direction for the dub sitting here at twenty four
Speaker 2: and twenty five to one game under five hundred with
Speaker 2: four games before the All Star Break for us, very
Speaker 2: important that we would want to go into the All
Speaker 2: Star Break above five hundred. Ideally, things are really starting
Speaker 2: to turn. And man, our young guys are rolling. Jonathan Mingo,
Speaker 2: we've all been talking about him. We know he's rolling.
Speaker 2: Gie Santos thirteen to eight last night, playing really good basketball,
Speaker 2: giving us a spark on this road trip. Lets you
Speaker 2: key on playing really good basketball, VP rolling. It's great
Speaker 2: to get young Moses Moody back. Shout out to Trace
Speaker 2: Jackson Davis getting a couple of buckets at home last
Speaker 2: night in the great state of Indiana. It was good
Speaker 2: to see the young guys are really coming along, and
Speaker 2: that is how you hope it will go. You know,
Speaker 2: when you're when you're in a stage of like we
Speaker 2: got stars that we've been rolling with and winning with
Speaker 2: for years, they're now starting to get older in age,
Speaker 2: you know, and then you got young guys when trying
Speaker 2: to bridge that gap. That's always tough thing to do.
Speaker 2: And we've had our struggles. We've had our first shair
Speaker 2: of struggles. But them young guys starting to turn the corner.
Speaker 2: They starting to figure it out, and it's been beautiful
Speaker 2: to see. You got like Lester and Gee and specific
Speaker 2: who those guys have spent a ton of time in
Speaker 2: the G League. And I was telling Jack him before
Speaker 2: we got on here, like you can the difference in
Speaker 2: you know, the amount of time that they spent in
Speaker 2: the G League. In the G League, you get like
Speaker 2: four practices a week, and so you're constantly learning, you're
Speaker 2: constantly drilling these things. And you look at those guys
Speaker 2: and you're like, man, they know how to play. But
Speaker 2: that's why because they've been in the G League, our
Speaker 2: G League, and our our G League coaching staff and
Speaker 2: our Golden State Warriors coaching staff work closely together. They're
Speaker 2: in constant communication. Obviously, the g lea RG League coach
Speaker 2: this year is Nick Kerr, coach Steve Kerr's son, and
Speaker 2: Nick is doing a fabulous job, an incredible job. All
Speaker 2: this players respect him, and those guys are winning a
Speaker 2: lot of games. And before that was Seth Cooper. Seth
Speaker 2: Cooper is now back on our staff running player development,
Speaker 2: did a great job down there. Before that, it was
Speaker 2: Chris Williams. Chris Williams is now on the front of
Speaker 2: our bench, and so you see the continuity. Before Chris,
Speaker 2: I think it was Aaron Miles who Aaron Miles was
Speaker 2: on our coaching staff and then took a job at
Speaker 2: Boston and it's now in New Orleans with Willie Green,
Speaker 2: and so you see the conuity. You see how people
Speaker 2: the team is using the G League as like a
Speaker 2: farm league system like baseball, and those young guys are
Speaker 2: really learning how to play, and so now you're putting
Speaker 2: them in these games and they helped us win games
Speaker 2: on this road trip, and so that's been great to see.
Speaker 2: Steph Curry had forty two points last night, started the
Speaker 2: game seven seven from three.
Speaker 3: I thought last night was very interesting.
Speaker 2: If you remember last year, Andrew Nimhar had a great
Speaker 2: game against US thirty one points here, and then they
Speaker 2: beat us on the road there, and them young fellas
Speaker 2: was talking crazy, and I respect it.
Speaker 3: I love young guys who's like, man, you think you this.
Speaker 2: And I know you that, but I ain't bobbling down
Speaker 2: to that, and I don't respect that, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: treat you like I don't respect that. And that's exactly
Speaker 2: how nim Hard and all those young guys were.
Speaker 3: Acting last year. Took my hat to him.
Speaker 2: As I think I mentioned in this podcast last year
Speaker 2: when we were talking about those guys, I respect that
Speaker 2: because that's the type of time I was on when
Speaker 2: I came in. Oh yeah, shout out the beekeeper. By
Speaker 2: the way, that's just what this sweatshirt is. For those
Speaker 2: of y'all that don't know what beekeeper is. Beekeeper is
Speaker 2: iced coffee, and it can go check it out. I
Speaker 2: told you all last year when I was talking about
Speaker 2: those guys like they were talking crazy and they won,
Speaker 2: you gotta respect it. I think Steph Curry took that person.
Speaker 2: As you can see, he came out last night in
Speaker 2: complete menace mode, absolute menace mode from the gate. He
Speaker 2: was locked in some of the threes he shot to
Speaker 2: start the game, Like when he come out shooting like
Speaker 2: that just was like no conscience. I already know what
Speaker 2: type of time it is, and I enjoy those games
Speaker 2: in particular. I try to get the hell out the way.
Speaker 2: Uh you know it's sometimes Steph has those games and
Speaker 2: you just sit back and for me personally, I get
Speaker 2: a front row like better than court side seat to
Speaker 2: watch it. And my goal and my job is to
Speaker 2: get the hell out of the way and watch him work.
Speaker 3: And it is a fun thing to do.
Speaker 2: Every now and then you go toss a little screen
Speaker 2: at boom, and every now and then you toss a
Speaker 2: little diminant boom. But he was so off the dribble
Speaker 2: last night, and that's how I knew he was in
Speaker 2: minuce mode because everything was just off the dribble, Like
Speaker 2: I don't need a screen for real, I don't need
Speaker 2: I'm not running off no Penn downs for real. It
Speaker 2: was just complete minuce mode. He had eleven threes. I
Speaker 2: think three of them might not have been off the dribble,
Speaker 2: So that kind of gives you a sense of where
Speaker 2: Steph Curry was. In turn, we rolled held the number
Speaker 2: one team and the number one offensive team in the NBA,
Speaker 2: to one hundred and nine points. That team averages around
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty a game. And Tyre's Halliburton was
Speaker 2: also held only five points, his lowest of the season.
Speaker 2: Got to give guys a lot of credit. Andrew Wiggins
Speaker 2: did an incredible job on him. Jonathan Mingo was switched
Speaker 2: on him sometime, Lester Keenonez did a credible job. Whoever
Speaker 2: got matched up did Moses a couple of times. Incredible job.
Speaker 2: And our team defense, our shelle was great, and our
Speaker 2: transition defense was absolutely incredible. And playing against a team
Speaker 2: like that, they getting the ball out and they are
Speaker 2: running a couple of times, especially in that first half,
Speaker 2: I was gassed, like whoa first quarter before I got
Speaker 2: that break, dying them young guys is pushing that tempo
Speaker 2: and hally Burton all star starter. To hold him to
Speaker 2: five points was absolutely incredible, absolutely amazing. That was also
Speaker 2: coming after holding Tyrese Maxi to twelve points on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: So again Andrew Wiggins matchup, which kind of spins you
Speaker 2: back to what I was talking about with Trey Young,
Speaker 2: like that Wiggs is our guy. That's going to go
Speaker 2: guard those guards. That's fast, that's super athletic. Wiggs is
Speaker 2: our guy to do that. And so that's kind of
Speaker 2: the proof of the put and not saying Wigs was
Speaker 2: gonna lock up Trey Young, kind of trying to give
Speaker 2: you some perspective here, and so shout out the Wiggs.
Speaker 2: He is the turnaround that you're seeing in the Dove
Speaker 2: season and his defensive turnaround, the way he's now defending
Speaker 2: again two way. Wigs is one of the driving forces
Speaker 2: in us turning this thing around, and how important he
Speaker 2: is to this team.
Speaker 3: So it's good to see Wiggs round and in the form.
Speaker 2: And as I said, it really feels like this team
Speaker 2: is headed in the right direction. You know, the vibes
Speaker 2: are great, absolutely absolutely amazing. Guys rooting for each other,
Speaker 2: Guys pulling together, and the team is coming together. Sometimes
Speaker 2: take time to form a little more time than we
Speaker 2: would like, but it's coming together. The last ten games,
Speaker 2: the Doves have a net number three net raiding in
Speaker 2: the NBA, number four offense, number seven defense. I think
Speaker 2: that's we always talk about being in the top ten
Speaker 2: and offensive rate and being in the top ten and
Speaker 2: defensive rating. I think one time. Out of our four championships,
Speaker 2: maybe we were like eleven defensively or something like that.
Speaker 2: And so the proof is in the pudding. The numbers
Speaker 2: are there. They're speaking for themselves, and as I said,
Speaker 2: I think this thing is really turning around for us.
Speaker 2: That is enough on the doves. Let's get into this
Speaker 2: trade deadline. We're gonna run through this. The New York Knicks,
Speaker 2: the New York Kniggs get Bojan Bogdanovich that is Bojan
Speaker 2: Bogdanovich from the Detroit Pistons and Alec Burks for Evan Fournier,
Speaker 2: Malaki Flynn and Quinn Grimes. Malachi Flynn don't see the court.
Speaker 2: Evan Fournier hasn't seen the courting since they signed him
Speaker 2: to that contract, and Grimes is in and out of lineup.
Speaker 2: They made out extremely well. So now you look at
Speaker 2: these trades. They got Bojan Bogdanovich and Alec Burks and
Speaker 2: Ogiannobi without giving up a single first round pick.
Speaker 3: That's insane. The New York Knicks got better.
Speaker 2: Does that ultimately put them in the conference finals? Like
Speaker 2: Steven they've been talking, I see a lot of people like, oh,
Speaker 2: they're going to the finals. They got better but I
Speaker 2: don't know if I want to get that far ahead
Speaker 2: of myself just yet. I need to see more. You
Speaker 2: also like the playoffs is different. Man like the playoffs,
Speaker 2: and they've struggled in the playoffs. Some like Jalen Brunson
Speaker 2: bought it last year. Julius Randalls had a tough couple
Speaker 2: of playoffs the last two years. So the key to
Speaker 2: them getting to the NBA Finals is or to the
Speaker 2: conference finals. I'm not even going to get ahead of
Speaker 2: myself's the NBA Finals. Let's just go conference finals. Julius
Speaker 2: Randa is going to have to play well. Julius Randall
Speaker 2: can't have tough playoff series in that team win, it
Speaker 2: just won't happen. And so Ju play well and it
Speaker 2: opens up things for them. Like I said, Jew's last
Speaker 2: couple of playoff runs haven't been great, So they're going
Speaker 2: to need Ju to be Jue, the Jew that is
Speaker 2: in the regular season causing have it All, NBA Performer,
Speaker 2: All Star performer, the max player that the New York
Speaker 2: Knicks paid. They're going to need him to be that
Speaker 2: same guy in the playoffs in order for them to
Speaker 2: take that next step. Overall, I think the New York
Speaker 2: Knicks definitely got better. They they one percent got better,
Speaker 2: and we'll see where at least them. But they got depth,
Speaker 2: they got sized, they got shooting, they got playmaking, and
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a log jam. So it's also gonna
Speaker 2: be interesting to see who gets those minutes. You know,
Speaker 2: they still got Josh Hartz, they still got Dante uh Jalen.
Speaker 2: You know, they still got quite a few. So it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a bit of a log jam. We'll see
Speaker 2: how the minutes play out, and that's we know Tom
Speaker 2: Thibodeau played his starters thirty five plus minutes a game,
Speaker 2: so it'll be interesting, like to see how Tibbs navigate
Speaker 2: his coaching style where he plays his starter so many
Speaker 2: minutes a game. And now you got the type of
Speaker 2: depth that they've built up. That's gonna be interesting. All
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you get those guys have never won anything,
Speaker 2: so when you start talking about like, hey, you need
Speaker 2: to sacrifice for us to win, they don't know what
Speaker 2: that looked like. They did not know what that looked like,
Speaker 2: So that can cause chemistry issues and so it's gonna
Speaker 2: be interesting to see how that plays out. But overall,
Speaker 2: on paper, I think they one hundred percent got better.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would disagree with that. The Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City Thunder also got better. They got they traded for
Speaker 2: Gordon Hayward for Trey Man, who I think, by the way,
Speaker 2: I think Trey Man got gain. I think Trey Man
Speaker 2: has a chance in this league, but unfortunately got caught
Speaker 2: in a log jam in Okay see where they're drafting
Speaker 2: three first round picks per year and you get one
Speaker 2: year to kind of show what you got in and
Speaker 2: they're looking at the next first round pick the next year.
Speaker 2: And he just got caught in that log jam. But
Speaker 2: anytime he played, you were able to see, or he
Speaker 2: go down to the G League, you're able to see
Speaker 2: the skills that the young guy has. And then also
Speaker 2: he's been studying under Shay, and Shae is one that
Speaker 2: has had to improve each and every year to become
Speaker 2: who he's become. And he's gotten a chance to get
Speaker 2: a first front row seat and watching that and it
Speaker 2: seemed like Shaye took him under this wing and took
Speaker 2: a liking to him. So I know he's been teaching
Speaker 2: them a lot. Looking forward to seeing what Trey Man
Speaker 2: go to Charlotte and do and so we'll see how
Speaker 2: that plays out. They also got Diavis Burton's and the
Speaker 2: trade Charlotte Hornets for Gordon Hayward. Davis Burtons hasn't seen
Speaker 2: the course since he signed that deal, and.
Speaker 3: Yet the Hornets were able to pull that off.
Speaker 2: The Hornets also has a slew of picks, and if
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, I think they sent over a first
Speaker 2: round pick for Gordon Hayward, maybe a second round.
Speaker 3: Pick, but they got a slewer picks.
Speaker 2: The Charlotte Hornets stayed active at the trade deadline and
Speaker 2: traded away PJ. Washington for Grant Williams, Seth Curry and
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty seventh first round pick. Now to get
Speaker 2: Grant Williams and Seth Curry for PJ. Washington, I already
Speaker 2: personally think it's enough you get a first round pick,
Speaker 2: and that means they hated Grant Williams in Dallas. If
Speaker 2: you are able to get a first round pick with
Speaker 2: that's why they was really trying to get off grand Wims,
Speaker 2: like they had to get him out the door.
Speaker 3: And that's the.
Speaker 2: Word around the league is that people saying they he
Speaker 2: rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and they
Speaker 2: didn't love it quite Frankly, I think I saw something
Speaker 2: that said he started back wearing Jason Tatums and not Lucas.
Speaker 2: People would nitpick at anything. I don't know if that's
Speaker 2: the reason he got traded, But Grant got into a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff this year so far with people. Uh
Speaker 2: he had a thing with Book, he had a thing
Speaker 2: with Donovan Mitchell. I think he had a thing with
Speaker 2: uh Man, Grant. I can't even keep up with the
Speaker 2: amount of people that Grant Williams has gotten into it
Speaker 2: this year. So I'm not sure. I'm not in Dallas's
Speaker 2: locker room. I can't tell you all the things that
Speaker 2: went wrong, But what I will say is I don't
Speaker 2: think they got the Grant Williams they thought they were
Speaker 2: bringing in, just even by seeing him get into it
Speaker 2: with like all of these different people, like it's just
Speaker 2: not really something that you've ever seen from Grant Williams.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 3: You know, I think, uh, I think.
Speaker 2: That's a tough one. Like you get you signed a
Speaker 2: four year deal, what he sounds four years? Fifty million
Speaker 2: dollar deal? You think, oh man, I'm one of the
Speaker 2: missing pieces in what they see and then it ends
Speaker 2: that abruptly.
Speaker 3: Grant gotta figure it out.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is that he did wrong, he need to
Speaker 2: figure it out fast. Because at a twelve and a
Speaker 2: half million dollar salary, you all should understand how this
Speaker 2: league works. That deal is just enough money to make
Speaker 2: a lot of trades work. You can either be throw
Speaker 2: in in the trade to make the money work. You
Speaker 2: can be a guy that gets moved to bring another
Speaker 2: good player in because it makes money work. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's only And when I say only, I have a
Speaker 2: concept of money. I'm not like someone that has made
Speaker 2: good money and lost reality of like how much money
Speaker 2: twelve and a half million dollars is. But twelve and
Speaker 2: a half million dollars in a grand scheme of the
Speaker 2: NBA salary cap, it's not a lot of money. And
Speaker 2: so teams will take make that salary like no problem, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll take that, And before you know it, Grand Williams
Speaker 2: can be traded three times in the next year and
Speaker 2: a half. You know, all of a sudden, he gets
Speaker 2: moved at the end of this year because Charlotte decided
Speaker 2: they're going in a different direction. And then you go
Speaker 2: to a team and you get moved at that deadline
Speaker 2: because just something they wanted to make something else happen,
Speaker 2: and you're worth the money to throw in to make
Speaker 2: it work. And so that's what Grand Williams has to
Speaker 2: figure out and be careful of, because that's what starts
Speaker 2: happening in this league. A guy get moved once from
Speaker 2: a team that signed him to a deal, and then
Speaker 2: you just all of a sudden, you look up and
Speaker 2: that guy's on a bunch of different teams. And so
Speaker 2: it'll be interested in us to watch Grand Williams path. No,
Speaker 2: he's a very smart dude. It'll be interesting to watch
Speaker 2: his path and see if he can get it figured out.
Speaker 2: I think that's also a lesson to like young guys
Speaker 2: in this league though. Where they're smoke, there's fired, by
Speaker 2: the way, so and all the news coming out that
Speaker 2: he rubbed people to wrown Way and Dallas and all
Speaker 2: he did, because they are not just trading you that fast.
Speaker 2: They're where they're smoke, there's fire. I don't know anything specific.
Speaker 2: I'm not an NBA insider. I'm not about to go
Speaker 2: try to dig up dirt. That's not what you're getting here.
Speaker 2: This is the new media. But what I will tell
Speaker 2: you is where there's like I said, where there's smoke,
Speaker 2: there's fire. And for Grant Williams George's young guys in general,
Speaker 2: understand understanding your role in this league is extremely important.
Speaker 2: Understand why you get what you get in this league
Speaker 2: is extremely important. When you're playing with a guy like
Speaker 2: a Jason Tatum, with a guy like Jaylen Brown on
Speaker 2: a team Marcus Smart on the team that's going to
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, and your role is as such, don't
Speaker 2: get so ahead of yourself that you don't realize the
Speaker 2: ingredients to your success. And so for all these years,
Speaker 2: people are like, oh, Draymond benefit off off Stephan Clay
Speaker 2: and what has Draymond always said? Duh? Of course I
Speaker 2: do not gonna sit here and act like the way
Speaker 2: those guys shoot the ball don't benefit me in the
Speaker 2: way I play, of course.
Speaker 3: And then people be like, oh, you're just a role player.
Speaker 2: Great, great, thanks, And so my word to these young
Speaker 2: guys is know your role, Embrace your role. Know who
Speaker 2: you are, Know what a team wants from you, know
Speaker 2: what they're looking for you to be, and be that.
Speaker 2: Be just that, Go do your job and take your
Speaker 2: ass back home. Be that because it get dicey in
Speaker 2: this league, and all of a sudden you start getting
Speaker 2: move around and then you're on the outside looking in.
Speaker 2: It happens fast. I've seen it. I've been in for
Speaker 2: twelve years. Happens fast. So to the young guys out there,
Speaker 2: keep your eyes open. Know what your role is. Learn
Speaker 2: your role, Master your role. Become a master in your role.
Speaker 2: You can never become a star. And unless you become
Speaker 2: a master in your role first. So there's that the
Speaker 2: Bucks trade for Patrick Beverley for Campaign and a twenty
Speaker 2: twenty seventh second round pick. Going back to the Philadelphia
Speaker 2: seventy six ers, I saw a lot of people saying,
Speaker 2: oh man, that's a big loss for the Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 2: six is. What that says to me is Joel ANDB
Speaker 2: not coming back this year. We can get a twenty
Speaker 2: twenty seven second round pick. We don't believe we can
Speaker 2: win with Joel out. But you know they're reeling a
Speaker 2: bit already. I think they've lost seven of their last eight,
Speaker 2: and I just don't think they believe that they can
Speaker 2: do much without Joel and B. Which is why you
Speaker 2: saw Daniel House move, which is why you saw Marcus
Speaker 2: Morris move, which is why you saw Patrick Beverley move.
Speaker 3: You saw ferk on Course's move.
Speaker 2: The only person that's demanded the trade three times and
Speaker 2: it was never granted.
Speaker 3: You now see him move.
Speaker 2: And so when you look at the moves that the
Speaker 2: seventy six ers made, to me, that says to me,
Speaker 2: what I take from that is Joe llenb not coming
Speaker 2: back this year. Just what I take from it. I
Speaker 2: don't know that to be true, but in understanding and
Speaker 2: watching this league, that's just my.
Speaker 3: Opinion of what happens.
Speaker 2: Because those guys are got the type of guys that
Speaker 2: you need if you do want to make a run
Speaker 2: out of championship. Hence the fact the Bucks traded for
Speaker 2: Patrick Beverly and so and moving away for what the
Speaker 2: trade mean for the seventy six ers. For the Bucks,
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks got better with this trade. I
Speaker 2: don't think it quite solves all your problems, but I
Speaker 2: think it definitely solves some of your problems, which is
Speaker 2: perimeter defense being a huge one. The Bucks traded away
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday, they traded away Great Allen, their two best
Speaker 2: perimeter defenders. In turn, Adrian Grifford got fired because their
Speaker 2: defense was trash and so because their defense was so bad,
Speaker 2: they were still in second place in these but you
Speaker 2: just can kind of see like they're not gonna win
Speaker 2: with that defense. And so the Bucks shore some things
Speaker 2: up with Patrick Beverley. Patrick Beverley and Dame has had
Speaker 2: their run ins. I know Dame, Dame my dog very well.
Speaker 2: Dame is one who stands on business. I saw Dame
Speaker 2: put out a quote saying, listen, personal issues. He's my
Speaker 2: teammate now, like I'm trying to win. Personal is shoes
Speaker 2: are what they are. It's my teammate trying to win.
Speaker 2: And I respect that because I think it helps them.
Speaker 2: I think it helps Dame. I think it helps their
Speaker 2: entire team with what Patrick Beverley is going to bring
Speaker 2: to that team. And like you said, anytime a team
Speaker 2: is in win now mold a guy like Patrick Beverley
Speaker 2: is a guy you want on your roster. And as
Speaker 2: you can see with the trail, so I think that
Speaker 2: made the Bucks better for certain the Timberwolves.
Speaker 3: I think the Timberwolves got better.
Speaker 2: They brought in Monte Morris from the Pistons for Troy
Speaker 2: Brown and Shape Milton in the second round pick. I
Speaker 2: don't think shake and Troy had given the Timberwolves pretty
Speaker 2: much anything at all this year, and so for them
Speaker 2: to bring in Monte Morris, who's a proven great backup
Speaker 2: point guard in this league, I thought that was great.
Speaker 3: I thought that's a great pickup.
Speaker 2: Now Monte, it's gonna be important for Monte to make
Speaker 2: sure he runs in the shape he's been in Detroit
Speaker 2: all year, hasn't played a ton this year, was out
Speaker 2: with injury maybe for the first forty forty five games
Speaker 2: forty games or so, and he's back as of late,
Speaker 2: and so I think that's a really good pick up
Speaker 2: for the Timberwolves. I think it is equally important for
Speaker 2: Monte to make sure that he goes in there and
Speaker 2: play the same brand of basketball that he played.
Speaker 3: In Denver, not in Washington.
Speaker 2: Washington wasn't that great for him, just like it's not
Speaker 2: going that great for Tyas Jones, and so is going
Speaker 2: to be great for Monte, who's in the contract year,
Speaker 2: to go to a team that is winning and show
Speaker 2: that he's still that great backup point guard that he
Speaker 2: was in Denver. So many times in this league we
Speaker 2: see everybody want to become starting point guards. You've seen it,
Speaker 2: you know, they trade Monte Morris to Washington, they trade
Speaker 2: Tyas Jones to Washington, right Spencer Dinwiddie, the same thing.
Speaker 3: All went to Washington to be that starting point guard.
Speaker 2: And sometimes the illusion of is he a starting point
Speaker 2: guard is he not? Is better than actually being the
Speaker 2: starting point guard. And yet and saying that, I think
Speaker 2: you know, the backup point guard is like a backup quarterback.
Speaker 3: You gotta have a great one if you're going to
Speaker 3: have a good team.
Speaker 2: And so backup point guard you can be a great
Speaker 2: backup point guard for fifteen years and make a great living.
Speaker 2: And so that's also to the young guys out there.
Speaker 2: Don't get so caught up and am I starting? Am
Speaker 2: I back up? Like, yes, there's an obvious difference. There's
Speaker 2: an obvious difference, obviously, But just know that being a
Speaker 2: backup point guard in this league being a great one,
Speaker 2: asks Jared Jack, sets you up just fine, and being
Speaker 2: a great backup point guard, ask Steve Kerr, set you
Speaker 2: up just fine, and being a great backup point guard
Speaker 2: in this league, asks Darren Collison, set you up just fine.
Speaker 2: And so don't get so caught up and I need
Speaker 2: to be starting. I need to be doing this. I'm
Speaker 2: happy as hell to see Monte going to the Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: Not from a Timberwolves standpoint, because I obviously want to
Speaker 2: beat the hell out of them, but Monte is a
Speaker 2: little brother to me from Flint, Michigan. I'm from Saginaw, Michigan.
Speaker 2: No Monte since he's probably in middle school, and to
Speaker 2: see his growth, for him become a pro going to
Speaker 2: Iowa State, not get recruited by the Michigan schools. Really,
Speaker 2: when I say Michigan, I mean my love my album
Speaker 2: out of Michigan State and also the University of Michigan.
Speaker 2: He goes to Iowa State leads I think, if I'm
Speaker 2: not mistaken, the all time leader and the sister turnover
Speaker 2: ratio and in the NCAA history, goes and puts together
Speaker 2: a great career and then has nobody believe had to
Speaker 2: take the long route into the NBA, figured it out,
Speaker 2: became the best backup point guard in the NBA. Happy
Speaker 2: to see him get back to that situation because winning
Speaker 2: basketball for Monte is what makes Monte special. So him
Speaker 2: having the opportunity to play that, it's going to be
Speaker 2: big for him, It's going to be big for the Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: Although I don't care about it being big for the Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: I only care about it being big for monte And
Speaker 2: before we get out of here, well before we move
Speaker 2: on from the trade deadline. Last, but most certainly not least,
Speaker 2: the one that meant the most to me, the Warriors
Speaker 2: trade and Corey Joseph to the Indiana Pacers for a
Speaker 2: second round pick. That trade sucks. That sucked from like
Speaker 2: a phrase standpoint, it sucks for me as a player
Speaker 2: who's's gotten to build a relationship with Corey Joe, one
Speaker 2: of the most professional guys I've ever seen, works every
Speaker 2: single day, do to play pick up with the young
Speaker 2: guys because you know, he's not playing a ton of minutes.
Speaker 2: And Nigga put in the game the same night. You're thirteen.
Speaker 3: Again we're talking about backup point guards, young fellas.
Speaker 2: You're thirteen. This guy still play pick up every day,
Speaker 2: still get on a treadmill and run after every game,
Speaker 2: do all of these things true professional And sometimes it's
Speaker 2: just a numbers game. And that's what you know, people
Speaker 2: should understand about this. It's a numbers game sometimes and
Speaker 2: sometimes you get squalls out.
Speaker 3: And unfortunately that's what happened to Corey Joe.
Speaker 2: Corey Joe is a huge reason why the chemistry on
Speaker 2: this team is as good as it is, or the
Speaker 2: energy that he brings every single day. It's gonna it
Speaker 2: sucks to see him go, and it's going to be
Speaker 2: he will be missed out here. That's for SIRT. Hoping
Speaker 2: to see Corey Joe get picked up by a team
Speaker 2: in his career, however many years that is left on
Speaker 2: the note that he wants to end his career on
Speaker 2: because he deserves that. The way he's been in this league,
Speaker 2: the professional that he is, a bunch of teams can
Speaker 2: use a Corey Joe on their team, ask can we
Speaker 2: Like I said, sometimes it's just a number game and
Speaker 2: it just doesn't work out. But Cory Joe, thank you
Speaker 2: for what you brought to this team, the vibes you
Speaker 2: brought every day the Blu Ray Games was great. And
Speaker 2: this ain't no, This ain't no. En Man, I got
Speaker 2: mad love for Corey Joe. Definitely gonna stay in touch
Speaker 2: with him. A great dude, nothing beloved and obviously also
Speaker 2: you know he a part of the Mob, one of
Speaker 2: the original originators of the Mob, by the way, one
Speaker 2: of the first guys to sign with Clutch early on
Speaker 2: in the at the inception of Clutch Sports group, Cory
Speaker 2: Joe much love my dog.
Speaker 3: And that's it for the trade deadline.
Speaker 2: That is my thoughts on the trade deadline before we
Speaker 2: get out of here. Yesterday was two eight twenty four.
Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant's statue was revealed being Kobe Bean Bryant. We'll
Speaker 2: love to know what your favorite era of Kobe was.
Speaker 2: Was your favorite era eight or was your favorite era
Speaker 2: twenty four? Me personally, I think that's such a tough decision,
Speaker 2: but I think I gotta go eight because eight is
Speaker 2: just such a huge part of my childhood. Like eight
Speaker 2: is who I grew up watching with the fro and
Speaker 2: as you get older, you mature more. And I think
Speaker 2: eight just didn't give a damn about anything, Like eight
Speaker 2: didn't care what you thought.
Speaker 3: Not that the twenty four by the way, but.
Speaker 2: Eight Man, eight, A part of eight never had kids,
Speaker 2: Like I know what that does, see you, Like, a
Speaker 2: part of eight was just Kobe growing in the cold man.
Speaker 3: And so I think for me eight was probably my favorite.
Speaker 2: I saw so when I was a huge fan of
Speaker 2: My favorite player of all time is Shoq. I've said
Speaker 2: that before, the y'all said a million times, that's my
Speaker 2: favorite player of all time. And I watched Cob grow
Speaker 2: up with Shaq winning championships as eight, and so for me,
Speaker 2: my favorite era is eight. I think my all time
Speaker 2: favorite Kobe moment is not one in basketball per se,
Speaker 2: like one moment, like all eighty one points, like all
Speaker 2: those is great, and if you're a Kobe fan, you
Speaker 2: love those things. But for me personally, my all time
Speaker 2: favorite Kobe moment was when I got to stop on
Speaker 2: cold he slapped me on the leg. I'm like, yeah, today,
Speaker 2: ain't have nothing to do with you, young fella. I just
Speaker 2: missed game winning shot. Mark Jackson put me in a
Speaker 2: few seconds left in the game, like, yo, you got Kobe.
Speaker 2: WHOA Okay. I think I played twenty seven seconds that game.
Speaker 2: I had to get a stop to go and send
Speaker 2: again and overtime and didn't get a stop to win
Speaker 2: the game in overtime.
Speaker 3: And I think that's the only time I played in
Speaker 3: that game.
Speaker 2: But I was hype whenning Kobe in front of our bench,
Speaker 2: shoot the left shoulder, turn around, fade patting and fade away.
Speaker 2: Miss Let's go. I ain't had nothing to do with you,
Speaker 2: young fella. I just missed kept walking. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh no, And for me, that was my favorite moment.
Speaker 2: Number One, it's personal to me to have that moment
Speaker 2: with Cole, Absolutely amazing. Number two. You know I love
Speaker 2: shit talking and so subtle, so at peace, so like,
Speaker 2: ah no, it's cool, young fella. I missed it, but
Speaker 2: she ain't. You just know I missed. Ain't got nothing
Speaker 2: to do with you. That's my all time favorite Kobe moment.
Speaker 2: Personal to me, may not be personal to you, but
Speaker 2: it said, what's my all time favorite moment? Maybe y'all
Speaker 2: tap in let us know what you all time favorite
Speaker 2: Kobe moment is. Man, it's incredible to see the staft
Speaker 2: you uh eighty one point walking off with the one
Speaker 2: finger up. Absolutely incredible. Even more incredible to know there's
Speaker 2: two more statues coming. Well deserved a man Kobe different
Speaker 2: than anybody. They don't love you like that? Watch love.
Speaker 3: That's a rap from this episode of The Draymond Green Show.
