0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Hello everybody, Welcome to the Fantasy Best Friends Forever. Maria

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Marino joining us today. I got a little Fantasy Basketball

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>edition of the show going on. I mean, you trade

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>deadline a few days away here, Maria, so we're gonna

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>be diving into that Rodney hood. I don't know if

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you saw this, got traded to the Portland Trailblazers over

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. A little bit about that, Anthony Davis, will

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>he be traded? You know? The Lakers? I mean the

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Pelicans only asking for six first round picks, your firstborn child,

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 1>your house, your wife, anything else of value. Do you

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>have any jewelry? Will take that? Um? You know, did

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you win the championship once? To give us your championship ring?

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Like the Pelicans, they're asking for everything, but they should. Yes,

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>we can hear you. We're gonna talk about on me

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>when you do that, like shut the mic off because

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 1>it makes all these noises when you go like this,

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 1>we're professing you think that you would think this is

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Marie Rerino's first day and not her last day. Excuse me,

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you're putting it on me that the mic was not working.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Come on. Now, that's a poor job. I plugged it

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>in and plugged the wrong wire in the wrong boo boo. Okay,

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>thank you. That should be a fun show today, Frank,

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>this guy everything that's going on, um so it's him.

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>It's can be a really good time. Marie Marino, how

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 1>are you. I'm fantastic, happy to be here, happy to

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be part of fantasy BFFs. I feel like I am

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.679
<v Speaker 1>unofficially anyway, whether or not you guys feel that way,

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I still feel that way. So yeah, yeah, Marie, I

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>mean you were a best friend of ours before I

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>mean the program it existed, like you're an o gbff.

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not so sweet, so sweet. And you can tell

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.839
<v Speaker 1>that she's definitely a fan of the show because five

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>seconds before the show started, said are you going to

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>sing and dance with us? And she says huge a

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of seconds. The only reason I asked that is

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>because I wasn't sure if after our old pal Mike

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Florio left the program, if you changed soundtrack. Well, you know,

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>if you watched any times last here, you might have

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>back in back in. Yeah, you know, you got about

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>six months, six months to figure that out. Hey, I

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>watched you guys on TV, not just on you too.

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Listen, clearly did not catch the intro

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>that I did not catch the intro, but I I

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>saw you on TV. I took a photo of it.

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I took a video. I sent it to you guys.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Yo, I know those guys. So that's great, Maria, Thanks,

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>thanks for listen. I'm your biggest fan. You know that.

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>That's all right. How's the life treating Maria? How's everything going? No,

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>life is Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of that title.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Jerseys go. If you had a moniker for

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey, what would it be? I don't have a

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>moniker Jersey. It's it's the Garden State. It's where you

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>come on Friday night. Is the armpit of America. Never

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>heard that before. Don't be a hater. It's where you

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>come on Friday night. You take the pass train in

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>a Hoboken and you place your bets on Fandel and

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>all invited you to join me last week, but clearly

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you had better plans because do in the morning that

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I did appreciate the in fight though, and let's rain check. Yeah, sorry,

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess this is this is your last day. I

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>think you think are the wrenches. It's just weird to say.

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just weird to say, yes, I guess it is

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>my last it's your last day with us. You've got

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of videos, um, yes, with us for sure,

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and we haven't made you a goodbye video. I'll let

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you know that there is. There is no slide show coming,

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>so that's okay. I wasn't expecting like a tribute video

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>like they do in the NBA. Now probably should I

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>want you to open the show with I want you

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>to expect the least because that's what we provide here

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>joining the program standing at five ft seven, Yes, Maria Marino,

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and then we should have like hit the tribute video. Agreed,

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and then it would have next time, don't say don't

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>say like Saron Glockholm's I Will Remember You, I one

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of you were going to say. I wasn't gonna say that.

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say the song that you named

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>my fantasy team after Maria. That would makes sense. I mean,

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 1>whenever I think of like NBA tribute videos, even though

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>though it doesn't make sense, it was only it only

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>made sense for like the Carmel Anthony trade is like

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I always think of coming home. It was like, I

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know, it was like the coolest thing ever. Yeah,

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>even though he was like raised in Baltimore like most

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>New York when Lebron went back to Cleveland, it was

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that right, that same song they played pretty much any

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of the opposite. It's like you're leaving home. So yeah,

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know leaving home, I won't be far

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>by the way. Speaking of being far, I heard you

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>saw somebody last night. I did. It was very awkward.

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Can you please explain to me why it was so awkward,

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>because it definitely was awkward. I heard it was very awkward.

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you want me to tell my side? Yeah, yeah,

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't. I wasn't you heard about this were talking about.

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>So I leave my other job and I'm on the

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>subway platform downtown World Trade Center and I'm standing there alone,

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>waiting for the train, and I see two girls walk past,

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and one of them I recognize, and it's Judy Greg's fiancee.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>So as I recognize it, and you know, sometimes when

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you see someone you recognize, you don't always know whether

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I should whether you should say hi, because it's like

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>in passing whatever. But the answer to that is always

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>well clearly, And I'll tell you why, because I made

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a split second decision where as she was walking past,

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, Judy made yes, Yes, I said Judy. And

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>then she she she paused, and she looked at me.

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>She looked at me as though she didn't know who

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I was, but I felt that she did. But I

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>just she's still gave me that look, and I just

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>was like, Maria, you know, Greg's a co worker from

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Network. And She's just like yeah, and then she

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>just kept walking looks like so here, So here's really

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what really happened. So here's my here's the text

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>message I received. Do you expect anything less? I would

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>be friendly? You don't think I'm like a friendly person

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>or subway people, your photo of your headphones on. You

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>won't even look people. That's the way things are supposed

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to be in New York. Don't talk to other people.

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>That's how everyone really am. Then I shouldn't have deviated it,

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>but I was just like in the moment, I was like,

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>so here's text message I got. I just saw him,

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Maria on the subway platform. I have no idea who

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>that is. I was in deep conversation with Caitlyn about work.

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>So it was awkward. I like, I knew who she

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>was and I put it didn't and it was uncomfortable.

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>And she comes up to me and she goes, Hi,

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.559
<v Speaker 1>do you remember me? I worked with Greg. It was

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>so awkward. My friend Caitlin was like, w T. And

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, oh God, you are embarrassing, Judy. You

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>are embarrassing. I have to say, like I expected her

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.199
<v Speaker 1>to be like, oh, what's up? How are you? Of

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>course like a normal person, but I'm not. But it's

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't bother me that she didn't do that. I

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.719
<v Speaker 1>was just like, Okay, she's probably, like you said, she's

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>probably deep in conversation. She's probably rushing around. You're trying

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to catch the subway. Like I totally get it. You're

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>also not incessarily expecting you in that in that context, Now,

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>let me share some history. I met Judy a couple

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of times. The last time I saw her was at

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>your apartment for Halloween at your party were everyone was

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>super fun. Um. But but like, as far as I know,

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, we we have a friendly relationship. I have

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to I wouldn't I would be lying. You refused to

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>sed to. That's not how it went down formally. Also

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 1>does a Halloween party everything week. I don't know that

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you know rich Penthouse any day of the week, very night,

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>but you've been I like your apartment. It's I'd be

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>lying if I said though, I'd be invited to the party.

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Who shut up? It's quick around those parts at that

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>time on a Saturday night, and he didn't invite core,

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the core as you've seen around Hell's Kitchen on a

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Saturday night. Are you out of your mind? No? I

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>was just gonna say, and I know this is completely

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>irrational and outlandish. There was a moment, a moment briefly

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>where I wondered, does Judy not like me? Really? Yeah?

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>That was silly exactly then. I mean I quickly dismissed

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it because that was because I was like, why Yo,

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>King and I homies? She talked about their love for

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Dean Gregories. King is a very nice person. Why wouldn't

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>they hit it off? But Jude is a nice person.

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying we didn't hit it off. We just

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't like like King. And I felt like I was

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>like talking the same person. It was just like I

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>was starting to I don't know what what I don't

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what. I don't know what's going on?

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Where is this going mess? Stuff from Judy man? I agree?

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you strike me as a guy, like a highbrow

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>like me? Yeah, I'm not gonna talk to Marie. I

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>say hi to everybody. I walk in and talk to

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>every doormat and every build they've ever been Like, hey,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:24.599
<v Speaker 1>I walk in here. You probably don't even talk to

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Justin at the bread dust. Do you know? I don't

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 1>talk to anything exactly. I'm the hither Row guy you're

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. I talked to Julio downstair. I talked

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the guy I talked to Justin. I talked to my man,

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>ed who do you talk to? And I'm the highbrow

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Gary as a fellow New Yorker, isn't it better to

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>just here, don't have a mic like I feel like

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.959
<v Speaker 1>Corey would side of me. You're supposed to just mind

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.839
<v Speaker 1>your own business on the talk to other people. Okay,

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>who is a pretty friendly person. He's on the corner

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of now you know what, Greg is a Greg will

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 1>come in and he will speak to everybody, and like

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Mike called on a whole walk in this joint and

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>don't speak to nobody, say goodbye Michael walking to from

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.959
<v Speaker 1>with fifteen people and don't say nothing to nobody, And

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to be fair and whine news about Corey because Corey

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>walks in every morning, walks downstairs. How's everybody doing, how's

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody feel? What's going on? What's going every single day

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Corey does? Yeah, for sure, we don't really work with

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the people, Frank, people goes to the bar, to the hostesses,

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 1>every kind of the waitresses every day. I'm a mayor.

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.199
<v Speaker 1>This is what this comes with politics. To be clear,

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:43.319
<v Speaker 1>I did not have an alterior motive, all right. To

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>be clear, I didn't want this to turn into bashing

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of Judy because I'm not bashing because, like Frank said,

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't talk to people in New York. Nine times

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that time somebody talks to me, I'm like, get away

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>from me. But because right, we're friends, well, because we've

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>met before. You know, I thought it would been a

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit more warm more warmth. But it's all right.

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think it still don't take it per

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>by your story and by the text messages that I received,

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I think this is more. I think this is more

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 1>of a cases like not realized seeing like seeing this

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.679
<v Speaker 1>person in this spot at this time, it didn't make sense.

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>It didn't make sense. She saw you like she came

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 1>for lunch for whatever reason, she saw you. Oh my god, yes,

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.959
<v Speaker 1>but she was. She was mid big conversations, she was

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.599
<v Speaker 1>rushing around, she was talking with subway platforms. I get it,

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I get it. Okay, Sorry, Judy, I'm sorry, so sorry.

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>She's going to be That's why I wrote it up.

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>You didn't bring it up. You did. I brought it up.

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I meant to text you about it, but you didn't.

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>You're probably like, oh, Goddy hates me. I'm not texting

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>him feeling where this went anyway, I didn't say anything.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 1>You always so, how is King of though? King is good.

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>She's doing very well. She just got a new job. Really,

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you didn't tell me that fantastic, my sugar, mama. Now

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>that's great. Say that loud and proud. Don't be mumbling

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>so proud. I'd be like, this is great. I'm staying

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>home the rest of my life. That's where Frank wants

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to like, So I got text from I think it

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>was you were the tweeting or you texted me last night.

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember what it was Frankie. But like Frank was

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>deep diving into baseball. Like I remember, I had like

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the TV on. I was eating dinner and Frank was

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>just I think it was you were tweeting a baseball. Um,

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you can tell when I'm deep diving. I got like

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>pre and post injury stats on labor tour. That's what.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>That's what it was. It was like labor Tour was

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 1>last night. I was like Frankie diving. I was just

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking because I was sitting there eating dinner. I'm like,

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>all right, so King is here. This all went through

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>my mind. So kingas hanging out at home and Frank's

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 1>just staring deep like deeper. It was like eight o'clock o'clock. Alright,

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>That's why I just had in my head. I was

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>only I do that after she goes to bed, like

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 1>ten o'clock, fair enough, So I thought it was like

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>eight o'clock in my head. In my head, I was

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>like eating dinner. Frank's like stereo at computer, and Kings

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>just like Frank Frank and he's just like pouring over

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>glabor tour. No, No, it wasn't that earlier. I was

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>actually just got a new Mac maybe it'll make a

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 1>debut on the show this week. So I was trying

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to like figure out how to work that thing. Of course,

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>there's totally different stuff. There's a touch idea can unlock

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the back with my that I was messing around a

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit with the little laptop. I will admit he

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>asked me to like wash dishes while she was cooking tacos.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 1>That's great talking any talking money. It's better Taco Tuesday.

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>But she did ask me, and I was just like,

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>eventually did it? But did you? At least? It's very

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>mad at me. Did you respond? I mean being ignored

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>as like I was like, yeah, I'm gonna do it.

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Just excuse me. A couple of seconds. I understanding. I can,

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I can. I can deal with that. It was great

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>last nights for me. So Judy was watching The Bachelor

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>in her friend's place. So I just had like leftover

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>zuper bowl washing watch basketball last night, watching nets in

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>the bucks, was watching Raw. It was awesome. I was

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>very She got home eleven and then it really went

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>terribly because she has just like um, she has like

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>a sinus infection right now. She's just caught for like

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a straight hour as we're trying to go to bed,

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is ridiculous because like drink water can sleep

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 1>on the couch again. I was gonna get up Gregan

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Judy do this thing that whenever one of them is sick,

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the other one sleeps on the couch. Yeah, you know

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>what to get sick. Understandable. Why why would you do that?

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Why do you want to get sick? I think it

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>depends on your level of sick too. I had the flu. Okay, yeah,

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that's that. I can understand. You have the flu, you

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 1>need the sick couch, get the master cuddle over here.

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>The power of cuddling can heal your significant over Yeah.

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 1>But see also you sick, dude. Take it from somebody

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>who's been on the couch. Mania Knights on the couch.

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 1>The couch is not a fun place, whether you think

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>at healthy. But I've gotten used to the couch, and

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I've made the best of it. You

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 1>have to. I mean, I appreciate the sentiment. Frank with

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the cuddling. Not super really, Marie's definitely a big cutler.

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Big cutler loves it. That was obvious. Al Right, we're

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:21.680

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't give any of these just like riffing and hanging.

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>We didn't a very seriously. Oh you know why because

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 1>our schedules have been so like jam packed and all

0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the content that we're putting out there right the n

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.280

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Like W n B A stuff I am going to

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 1>miss that. I'm gonna miss kind of just talking about

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.280

<v Speaker 1>with the content that that we put out there. But no, yeah,

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys aren't going to get rid of me. I'll

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 1>be gonna be. Yeah, I got your numbers. Um, I

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.120
<v Speaker 1>will be around. I'm sure you will be. You don't

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>work that far away, yeah, I mean I might run

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>into you on the subway platform. I don't. I don't

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>go down there. It's so far, you know. I'm just

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:38.040
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's get back in the NBA. And I

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>mean we've we've been hanging out and I want to

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>talk to some sports guys. And the big question, it

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.160
<v Speaker 1>was our poll question of the day. And this time

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>next week, what uniform Anthony Davis be wearing Pelicans Lakers.

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll see the knixes on there, clippers and the box.

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.440
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's interesting. And the rumor was that

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Martino told me this today. It might have

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.440
<v Speaker 1>been you, Frank, but I think it's Martina that told

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>me the Evidently Anthony Davis wanted to play last night,

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's clear right now that he's healthy, Like, he's fine.

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure this finger injury wasn't nearly the big of

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a deal that we originally thought it was. But he's fine,

0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.159
<v Speaker 1>he's ready to rock. And it's very clear that Pelicans

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>are not going to trade this dude, not not play

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 1>this dude if he's still on the team until after

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the trade deadline, because there's no reason to um at

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>this moment. So you think your best guests at this

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.160
<v Speaker 1>time next week, Maria, what uniform? What Anthony Davis be wearing.

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I I voted in this poll, and I voted Pelicans.

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm starting Here's here's here's my problem with it. Like

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I've I've been preaching all along that the Pelicans should

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 1>wait and not rush into making a deal for Anthony

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Davis before the trade deadline. But then when I see this,

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 1>this deal that the Lakers throw out to them, I

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 1>start to get tempted. I start to wonder, is this

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the best deal that they're gonna get for him? And

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 1>should should they just? Should they just do it? And

0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even saying that the best thing for the Lakers,

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 1>but maybe maybe it is the best thing for the Pelicans.

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, So like I'm hedging a little bit

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like maybe I could see the Lakers,

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>but I still feel strongly about it would be the Pelicans.

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, It's amazing, Frankie, because I've gone so many

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 1>different ways in this I who did it? Hollard? And

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I stopped my feet and I screamed, really a fright

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that was, like, it makes no sense to trade for

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the Pelicans. To do this right now, Wait until every

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 1>team is available in the summer, mainly the Celtics, and

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and see what you can get. But I'm with you, Maria.

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>You see the rumors. We have no idea what they

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>were really offered. These are the rumors of this trade

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>where it's basically every core member of the Lakers outside

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.400
<v Speaker 1>of Lebron James and the latest incarnation of the trade

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 1>was those bats bats and it was every other cork

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>member of that team. Plus we'll take on your worst

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>contract in Solomon Hill. Plus we'll give you four draft picks.

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's what the Pelicans wanted, but wanted for drafts.

0:22:58.240 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what kind of protection was on those

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>US will give you? I would imagine there was no protection.

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Plus we'll give you picks. I wouldn't who knows who

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the number is. But plus we'll give you picks. And

0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>if that's true, you're just like, what else can they

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>possibly get? Now, the answer to that question before I

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 1>go over to you, Frank, the answer to that question is, Okay,

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>picks are awesome, cash spaces even better. But it's really

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:21.959
<v Speaker 1>hard to get people to go play for the New

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Pelicans. It's not the Lakers, it's not the Warriors

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:27.720
<v Speaker 1>at this point, right, it's it's the New Orleans Pelicans.

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have that lineage of the Celtics, doesn't have

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the history. So fine, Okay, it's tough. You already know

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a Lonzo Baha has no interest in playing there. I'm

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>not saying brandon Ingram or Kyle Kuzma doesn't. But as

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it's pointed out to me today, Kyle Kuzma is years

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>old and he's not exactly a dude that is twenty

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 1>years old. So is Kyle Khosma going to become this

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:50.480
<v Speaker 1>All Star? Or is this what we have? Not that

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 1>was a bad player, but like Kuzma what he is

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>right now? The wild right, the wild card is Brandon Ingram,

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>who is still extremely extremely young. Do they believe the

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>randon Ingram will become an All Star? Now? You can

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>look and I saw on Twitter day a guy like

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>DiAngelo Russell, who in year two is like twenty years old.

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>You were thinking when he was with the Lakers, like

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 1>what does he really become? Two years later with the Nets.

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.159
<v Speaker 1>He's an All Star. But I'm not saying he's an

0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 1>All NBA player because he's not. But he's an All Star.

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Do the Pelicans believe that any of the players they're

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:28.440
<v Speaker 1>getting back that will that won't cause a you know,

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>massive catastrophe with this team, like Alonzo Ball probably will

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 1>will become an All Star. I mean someone to build around.

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>That's the big question where it comes back. I think

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers deal because if you wait for Boston, the

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 1>one big question you have with Boston isn't about picks,

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 1>isn't about cap space. It's about who can you get

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>back because the one guy you want is Jason Tatum

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 1>because you believe that Jason Tatum is that one guy

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:53.920
<v Speaker 1>that in two years or one year whatnot, will become

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 1>an All Star that right now, he's in the precipice

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>of that. If you believe the Celtics will trade you

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Jason Tatum in a deal, you probably wait because he's

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.639
<v Speaker 1>the one guy out of Kuzma, out of ball that

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you believe in. But if they're not going to trade him,

0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>if the Boston's like, listen, we're not training you Tatum,

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and it makes no sense of Boston, tell them that

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 1>now you want them to think they will. If you

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:17.200
<v Speaker 1>believe that they will trade you Jason Tatum, you have

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to wait it out. You have no choice. But if

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't, will the offer ever get better than what

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:24.919
<v Speaker 1>it may be right now? I think these are all

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.919
<v Speaker 1>the questions that Dell Demps has to think about over

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the next too many days, your thoughts and all this. Yeah,

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:34.439
<v Speaker 1>so when you hooted and hollered last week, you were

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>very adamant about the Pelicans waiting until the summer to

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 1>get the Celtics involved and see what kind of trade

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>offer they can give. But things change. Based on the

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 1>quote that we got from Anthony Davis's dad last Friday,

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>right talking about how he doesn't want his son son

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>to play for the Celtics. He doesn't want him to

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 1>sign their long term because of the way that they

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>treated Isaiah Thomas that they don't have any loyalty to

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 1>their players. If you're the Celtics, why are you taking

0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 1>that chance and time? If you're if you're up at

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown and a draft pick or

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.360
<v Speaker 1>multiple draft picks, why are you taking that chance? If

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you have his dad right then and they're telling you

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna sign long term, So then you don't

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:11.880
<v Speaker 1>play at Anthony Davis for a one year rental. Maybe

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in that one year you could win a championship. What

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 1>are you really gonna do that for a one year rental.

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I get it, he's like a top five, top ten

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 1>player in the NBA, But you can't take that risk

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:22.920
<v Speaker 1>without knowing that he's not He's gonna sign or not.

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.359
<v Speaker 1>You need to know before you make this trade that

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>he wants to sign. There on top of it, frank like,

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>going along with that point on the reported extended list

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of teams that he would be interested in going to

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.679
<v Speaker 1>the Celtics were not honest. But don't you see Lakers,

0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the Knicks, the Clippers, the Clippers, and you know, I

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 1>thought gave made a great point today, right, all this

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>talk about Anthony Davis wanting to play for a contender, No,

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not true, like maybe the only contender on that

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>teams box. Basically, you want to play with one contender

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 1>or a major media market, that's what you want. Like,

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 1>let's stay honest about this. Because the Knicks, all right, yeah,

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they have cap space. Guess what space doesn't win you championships?

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Do have to you have to execute and free ative.

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.920
<v Speaker 1>But that list that you see, you gotta I think

0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>we all have to take a step back and like,

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 1>know what's happening here? Right, Like, all right, here's the list, right,

0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the Knicks they have nothing to trade the Pelicans anymore.

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 1>They don't, they don't. They just don't have it. And

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 1>they would already unprotected first round pick this year. The hope,

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the hope, the prayer of getting Zion. But you need more,

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you need more. You need do have some young assets,

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 1>like you could attach Kevin Knox, you can attached. Still

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 1>not enough, still not enough. It might not be, but

0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a competitive offer, Okay Knox, Frankielkina maybe

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>and if they wanted Dennis Smith Jr. Right, I know,

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:39.719
<v Speaker 1>you just got him. But if that's what it took

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to get Anthony David, those young assets and the possibility

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of getting a top three pick in this year's draft,

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a competitive offer. I mean, when you

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:48.959
<v Speaker 1>look at the offer that the Lakers put out, there

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem all that competitive. I agree with you, and

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 1>and they already turned down. They turned it out an

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>offer that would have included Kristaps porzingis not that we

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:58.320
<v Speaker 1>know the details behind that. So here's what we here's

0:27:58.320 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 1>what we do know. Right, So I agree with you

0:27:59.920 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 1>or they said nothing to offer. In my opinion, the

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Bucks the way that they are constructed, they also don't

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 1>They also have nothing to offer, So that can is

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 1>an expiring free agent, right Eric Bledsoe expiring free expiring

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:16.359
<v Speaker 1>free agents like in the Primate's career. So who are

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 1>the books? So who is New Orleans getting in that

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:22.160
<v Speaker 1>trade to build around Nobody? Absolutely nobody. So again there's

0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 1>there's no star there. Now you're with the Clippers and

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you're with Lakers. The Clippers have some young players, for sure,

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Will they want to take on the cap space of

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>a Solomon Hill I don't know. To geld say, Gil

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>just Alexander and your first round picks. That's a pretty

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>competitive offer to is A. I agree with you, but

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>my point was his list of four really is a

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>list of two. It's in l A and I don't

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>think you know, if you're comparing even the Lakers, if

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>it's Tatum and Brown right for the Celtics versus Kuzman Ingram,

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that that's that far off because what

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>we've seen from Tatum, Yes, there's a lot to be

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 1>excited about. How about last year when Brandon Ingram in

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the second half of the year, Remember they didn't have

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a point guard, they traded Friday Thomas, but like he

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>was in and out of the lineup, he was playing

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 1>point forward for them. And look at some of these

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>number from last year post All Star Break five nine

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:21.680
<v Speaker 1>field goal percentage, fifteen points, five assists, Like Brandon Ingram

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 1>could be this next incarnation of like a point forward.

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 1>But then you have a legit twenty plus points. But

0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'm saying, So I agree with If I

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>got Lonzo Ball in the deal, I would take him,

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>but I would just try and flip him the Phoenix,

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 1>try and get some other job there too. Why are

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you doing that, you said Phoenix because LaVar is re

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 1>questioning Phoenix, who gives a crap? But they have young

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:40.959
<v Speaker 1>players if they were interested in him, right, Because I mean,

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I thinkno ball can actually make sense in Phoenix having alongside.

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I happen to agree with you, but I'm not just

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.240
<v Speaker 1>training if Phoenix LaVar wants that, right, he hasn't earned

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the class. I keep him for half a year and

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>then explore, like where you can trade him in the

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>off season? Right? But really, that much young talent, Kuzma, Ingram,

0:29:55.800 --> 0:30:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Lonzo and this contract and two first round picks, the

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 1>whole question. Know that the Celtics offers better than I

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. The whole question is the only question

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 1>in my mind remaining. If the Lakers are gonna take

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>on Solomon Hill, if the Lakers are gonna give you

0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>multiple draft picks, if the Lakers are giving you all

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 1>of these players, The only question I have remaining is

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 1>does brandon Ingram is? Do you believe in brandon Ingram

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 1>enough to not wait to see if you can get Tatum?

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 1>That is the only question. Any of those guys, He's

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 1>years old, he's just nine, He's still super skinny, He's

0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:35.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta put on weight, there's no doubt about it. But

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the guy has over seven foot windspan. He's got to

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 1>work on his jump shot. But I'm telling you what

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw last year. When he's able to kind of

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like play that combo like point forward and have good

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>enough vision as a player to you know, nearly average

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 1>six assists per game as a guy of his size

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, not turning the ball over that much,

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I see upside. Man Like, to me, you could build

0:30:56.960 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>around a young core of Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, if you have first round draft picks,

0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you're gonna have your own first round draft

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 1>pick this year. If you trade away Anthony Davis, you're

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 1>not going anywhere this year. You're gonna have a lottery pick.

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's not, you know, top five, but in the

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 1>eight to ten range, you probably have a draft pick

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>there this year. I told look, that's the recipe for

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 1>these small market teams. That's the recipe, right, you have

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to build through the draft. You've seen it with a

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>with a franchise like Oklahoma City Thunder. They were actually

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 1>able to retain Russell Westbrook and because of that, they

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 1>were able to sign Paul George. But normally a team

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>like the Oklahoma City Thunder is not a big player

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and free you can see. So what you need to

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>be able to do is build through the draft. And

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that's why, you know, I look at a team like

0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the Sacramento Kings. The Sacramento Kings haven't been a desirable

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>franchise in terms of landing big name free agents. Not

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of big name free agents want to go

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to Sacramento for once. And I know it feels like

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it's been forever since Sacramento has been even slightly relevant.

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Even when they had Boogie Cousins and he was amazing,

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 1>they weren't even close to relevant. Look at what they're

0:31:56.600 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>doing right now, a great young core. They're on the

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 1>verge of making the playoffs this year, but for years

0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to come. I mean, look at three sixty Alley. You's

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>last night from Marvin Bagley. You got Daron Fox, you

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>have a young stud point guard. You have a knockdown shooter,

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Buddy Heals. I believe it was you who mentioned the

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 1>stat the other day. Greg, He's about to break the

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 1>record for like the most three Porters made like the

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>first three seasons of career, and they have bogged on

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>bog Danvich, a guy who can come off the bench,

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 1>like they are doing it the right way. When you

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 1>are a smaller, you know, less desirable market in the NBA,

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to build through the draft, and we're seeing

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>right now the New Orleans Pelicans are not a player

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:37.240
<v Speaker 1>in free agency. They can't even retain a player like

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis. They tried to make it work, it hasn't worked.

0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 1>They are a team that needs to build through young

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 1>assets and through the draft. I really like this trade

0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 1>for perspective with the Lakers. You're saying you want the

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Pelicans to make this deal if it's everyone thinks the

0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>question is how much better do you think Jayson Tatum is?

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think you look at the two it's kind

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 1>of like making a fantasy trade, right because in my opinion,

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Ingram and Kyle k Kuzma are better than Jalen Brown.

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Brown is a good player and he can be

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>a key peace on a winning team. It could be

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 1>like the third fourth option on a winning team. But

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 1>to me, if I were ranking the players in the trade,

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>it would be Tatum, Ingram, Kuzma, Ingram and Kuzma very

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>close and in Jalen Brown fourth. So if you think

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:25.479
<v Speaker 1>about it from like a fantasy trade, right and it's

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, yeah, you're giving up the best player

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>in the deal, but you're getting the two next best players,

0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>like you're getting the better death and anger, and Ingram

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 1>still has a lot of upside to remember, He's a

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 1>six nine forward who proved to me, even though a

0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>small sample size, that he can kind of be a

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>point forward for an NBA team. Here's my question about Ingram,

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Like when I look at Jayson Tatum, and maybe it's

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:47.760
<v Speaker 1>just because of the opportunities that he's had with the

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Celtics where they've gotten deep into the postseason, so we've

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 1>been able to see kind of how he steps up

0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>in those big moments, intangibles like all those things that

0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned like stats and stuff aside like upside. Do

0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you feel like I feel like Jayson Tatum is never

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 1>too big for the moment. I feel like he has

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>that clutch gene. I feel like he has that killer

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 1>which is crazy to be only a second year player,

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 1>but he did prove some of that in the But

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I just I just see it, like he just screams

0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>like NBA star to me, And maybe it's um not

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.200
<v Speaker 1>really fair to say that because I'm not really going

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>on anything but the eye test, But do you get

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>that same vibe from Ingram as far as like can

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 1>get in there and and just like have that ice

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 1>water in his veins? I think watching Jayson Tatum, does

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 1>he strike you as like a plus defender or anything?

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Because to me, I don't think he's like a plus defender, right,

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Like how far off is Kyle Kuzman from being Jayson

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Tatum Because Jason Tatum to me is like a score. Yes,

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:48.840
<v Speaker 1>he has a clutching. Kyle Kuzma hasn't really had the

0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:50.800
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to show whether or not he has a clutching

0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 1>or not. He didn't get to play in the playoffs

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>last year, and maybe that's the detriment to him. But

0:34:54.960 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to me, like, and I don't want to downplay Jayson

0:34:57.680 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Tatum because I think he's very talented, but Kyle Kuzman

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a talented score as well. I think Kusma the best

0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:07.200
<v Speaker 1>out of the three. Does Jayson Tatum really does he

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>offers something to a franchise other than scoring, I guess

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm trying to get at. Like, can he

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 1>become this next like point score, you know, six seven

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:18.439
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and five six assists per game? Can you really

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 1>get there? I don't know if that's part of his game,

0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>so I think it could be. Remember he's super young

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>as well, and the reason that and even Kyle Kuzma

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and like him the best. But I think those Lakers players, right,

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I think my issue with Kuzma is that what we

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 1>see is what we're getting. I don't think, as I

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:37.759
<v Speaker 1>mentioned his age, and I don't think he's gonna all

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:40.359
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden improved to be what Frank mentioned Jayson

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Tatum give me, not that we're comparing kuson maintainum, but

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:44.759
<v Speaker 1>like I think Tatum, the answer to your question Frank

0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:46.879
<v Speaker 1>is yes, I think there is a chance he could

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.759
<v Speaker 1>be developed into that twenty five point score with a

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 1>bunch of rebounds, with a bunch of assists. I do

0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 1>think in order to be a playmaker, though, like, I

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know that I've seen enough from a passing perspective,

0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 1>from the willingness to get others involved, and that hasn't

0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:02.399
<v Speaker 1>really been ast of him say that on that team,

0:36:02.480 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not his role at all. I've seen Brandon Ingram's

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:10.399
<v Speaker 1>ability to do it, but average five six. You put

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Tato on the Lakers last year, it's completely completely different,

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Like Kusma on a bad Lakers team without Lebron this year,

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Like you saw what he could do and it was

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:22.640
<v Speaker 1>score very very well, probably nothing else. I think he

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>would take them. There you see a lot, I think.

0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:28.879
<v Speaker 1>And to me looking at Brandon Ingram and I mentioned

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.319
<v Speaker 1>defensively with Jayson Taintum, like I think he has length

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and maybe he can work himself into being a defender

0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 1>if he wants to be right, Like he has that athleticism,

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 1>he has the length to be able to do that.

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Ingram, it is all upside, but look at his length,

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:44.359
<v Speaker 1>like he's he's already a guy who's disruptive in past

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 1>lanes and he's able to block shots. He needs to

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:51.400
<v Speaker 1>put on weight. If if brandon Ingram puts, he's the

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:56.839
<v Speaker 1>only one. But he has side defensively but twenty one,

0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Like I feel like this is about his third peer. Yes,

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he should have put on weight by now.

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:05.799
<v Speaker 1>You're not wrong, And Nevin Durant did it already by

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:08.759
<v Speaker 1>this time when he was and he's you mean he's

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 1>done growing so, but to me, there's more upside, especially

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 1>ill take a break here. When we come back, let's

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.040

<v Speaker 1>which it seems to be doing a lot lately the

0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:09.080
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years. Don't we seem to be getting

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:12.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these NBA wode bombs right around the

0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl time, taking the luster off of it. This

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:17.040
<v Speaker 1>is new in the last five years as well. The

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 1>player is really trying to collaborate with others to figure

0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:21.960
<v Speaker 1>out where they want to go, thus stealing the thunder

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:24.640

<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Marina, Frank Staffeld and the guys

0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 1>were just talking about it during the break and that

0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:51.600
<v Speaker 1>was the fact that Rodney Hood treated once again trade

0:39:51.680 --> 0:39:54.319
<v Speaker 1>last year deadline traded this year at the deadline went

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:58.359
<v Speaker 1>from Utah to Cleveland last year, and it goes back

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Western Conference and Goo was over to Portland's

0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 1>initial instant guys after this trail was goodrey for Portland

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 1>who are always trying to look to help out their bench,

0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 1>always trying to solidify that second unit. And then Frank

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of poo pood like into it. Frank, No, that's

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.479
<v Speaker 1>all right. I mean from a fantasy perspective, it doesn't

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:18.400
<v Speaker 1>really mean much. I think you'll get more of an opportunity.

0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be the sixth man for this team. They

0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:22.080
<v Speaker 1>needed someone who could come off the bench and score.

0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Because yes, they have Lillard to have mc collumn, they

0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:26.879
<v Speaker 1>have nerd kids to have, you know, a lesser version

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 1>of a Big three, but they have their own version

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of it. But they needed to fortify that bench. You know,

0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>as as great as you want Jake Layman to be,

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Greg he's a former turpret as as great as you

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 1>want them to be, any help on the bench, So

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I think Rodney Hood will help them out this. So

0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the difference guys this year when it comes

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Blazers is they made a concerted effort to

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.960
<v Speaker 1>not stagger McCollum and Lillard. They wanted to play together more.

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.479
<v Speaker 1>They thought that had a big advantage when they played

0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:51.360
<v Speaker 1>them more together, and they're doing so, which means the

0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:55.319
<v Speaker 1>entire second unit is basically having Turner and like Seth

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Curry correct. And that's fine, But if you want to

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 1>be a player in a play, you just need another threat.

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's what Rodney Hood provided you've already

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>saw he has the ability to carry the load in

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Utah and and certainly be a spark off the bench

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>in Cleveland. So I think this trade it's good. I

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.600
<v Speaker 1>think it only helps I think for the purposes that

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:16.479
<v Speaker 1>it's trying to serve, which is just being another spark

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:18.520
<v Speaker 1>plug off the bench. Mury, I think it works totally.

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, Cleveland sellers at the trade deadline obviously,

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:24.759
<v Speaker 1>and uh, it makes sense to get something back for

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:27.399
<v Speaker 1>a player like Rodney Hood, and I agree it only

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:30.320
<v Speaker 1>helps the depth of Portland. And we know kind of

0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:33.640
<v Speaker 1>what happened, We know what happened with them last year

0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:37.439
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs. They just need they need more. So yeah,

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm good with it. Now. You mentioned Cleveland being sellers

0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the deadline obviously and that and I asked before the

0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 1>break that what other big names could be traded in

0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:46.799
<v Speaker 1>the next couple of days. I think a good one

0:41:46.880 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to bring up is Kevin Love, Right, Kevin Love size

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:52.160
<v Speaker 1>his extension with Cleveland, even Aathan Lebron leaves um he's

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 1>been basically injured for that entire extension. Obviously, Cleveland's rebuilding

0:41:57.080 --> 0:41:59.879
<v Speaker 1>from scratch here. I mean, it's it's Colin Sexton, it's

0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Chitty Osman. There's not much here unfortunately, and Kevin loved

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:08.279
<v Speaker 1>being here for what, right, Like, that's a contract. They

0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.320
<v Speaker 1>want to get off their books, they want to improve,

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.000
<v Speaker 1>get more draft picks, get more cap space. There's Kevin

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Love a name, Maria that you think it will be

0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:17.800
<v Speaker 1>traded in the next couple of days. He he should be,

0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 1>but he's not someone that's really come to mind. And

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just because it's like you said, Um,

0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't played much, he's been injured, UM, And I

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 1>just don't know if he's on a lot of people's radar,

0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:34.040
<v Speaker 1>like what is his status right now healthwise? He's close

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:38.520
<v Speaker 1>to returning. Um, he's been he's returned to practice. He

0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 1>will not play in tonight's game against the Celtics, but

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they're even mentioning that means that he's

0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:48.239
<v Speaker 1>probably close to point. Then in that case, I think

0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:50.000
<v Speaker 1>there's definitely got to be a team out there that

0:42:50.080 --> 0:42:52.840
<v Speaker 1>could use him. Here's the problem. If you if you

0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:55.960
<v Speaker 1>can squint in here, you see the money that Kevin

0:42:56.040 --> 0:43:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Love is owed over the next five seasons Greg three,

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 1>He's owed between twenty eight and thirty one million dollars

0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:08.240
<v Speaker 1>per season, so age thirty by the end of this contract,

0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:11.160
<v Speaker 1>he'll be, you know, thirty four, thirty five depending on

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:14.960
<v Speaker 1>what is his birthday September, so he'll be he'll be

0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:19.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty four at the end of this contract, but between

0:43:19.200 --> 0:43:22.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty one million dollars a year, Like that's essentially another

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Max contract play that you're taking on, another big money deal,

0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:29.840
<v Speaker 1>no doubt. So you know, maybe Kevin Love would probably

0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 1>make sense being traded to a team that thinks they're

0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:36.440
<v Speaker 1>like a fringe contender but can't sign free agents, like

0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:38.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe some of these small market teams, Like if this

0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:42.200
<v Speaker 1>were next year, for example, I would say Sacramento, right,

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:44.640
<v Speaker 1>he would probably fit right in there because they're not

0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:47.440
<v Speaker 1>a free agent destination. Maybe they could trade away, you know,

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 1>one young player, but not like blow it up, and

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:52.400
<v Speaker 1>then they would have a combination of Darren Fox and

0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Bagley and you add some outside shooting with like a

0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Love. That to me is what makes sense, Like

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a fringe team that's kind of pushing for the playoff

0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:05.040
<v Speaker 1>that is not a desirable destination for big name free agents.

0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Denver maybe something like that, But I don't think they

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.840
<v Speaker 1>need him. Do they need him? That's the question. The

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:16.320
<v Speaker 1>whole mill snap is not like a great player. Probably

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:18.319
<v Speaker 1>he's an expiring contract as well, so maybe it doesn't

0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:21.440
<v Speaker 1>make sense. Kevin Love Denver is not a bad one.

0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Denver's not a bad one. They're not you know, they're

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.239
<v Speaker 1>not a fringe team. They're better than a French team.

0:44:26.280 --> 0:44:28.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're they're the second best record record in

0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:32.800
<v Speaker 1>the Western Last night was a reminder Greg and this

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:37.400
<v Speaker 1>is what I've said about Denver. They're not consistent enough. Detroit,

0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, you need I don't know, they're dealing with

0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>injuries right now. This is kind of like a weird

0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:44.439
<v Speaker 1>time for NBA players because they're kind of like milking

0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:46.600
<v Speaker 1>it in until they get to the All Star Break.

0:44:47.080 --> 0:44:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But to go in and get destroyed by the Detroit

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Pistons and you want to try and like establish yourself

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.399
<v Speaker 1>as a player in the Western Conference, that's a bad look, man.

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:57.839
<v Speaker 1>I I agree, I totally agree. Didn't we pick them

0:44:57.880 --> 0:45:01.440
<v Speaker 1>in our NBA pick did not didn't do Denver Detroit,

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:05.880
<v Speaker 1>we did not. It starts Wednesday, Wednesday. Every Yeah, So

0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned Kevin Love at Utah for Kevin Love, Does

0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that make sense, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert. Yes, So I

0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:15.320
<v Speaker 1>got Kevin Love, who's not a great defender next to

0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Rudy Gobert. Makes sense? Actually, Yes, I like that a

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.600
<v Speaker 1>lot like these are the teams. Utah is not attracting

0:45:20.600 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 1>anybody in from agency, you know, totally, that's one of

0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:25.759
<v Speaker 1>the teams. Utah and Denver are both good, Frank, And

0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that brings up my next potential player to be traded,

0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:32.239
<v Speaker 1>and it's another big man, and it's Mike, Mike, it's

0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Mark Gasol. Oh, the Memphis Grizzlies. This is another team

0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that's unfortunately going nowhere. Good defensive team as they've always

0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:41.040
<v Speaker 1>been one of the best defensive teams in the NBA

0:45:41.200 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 1>as always, but not enough offensive. You look at this

0:45:45.080 --> 0:45:46.479
<v Speaker 1>team and you kind of look at the way it's built,

0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:48.160
<v Speaker 1>They're like, all right, what are they going to wind

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>up doing? I'll start with Frank this time. Marcus al

0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:54.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna get traded? And if so? Where Marcus Sole an

0:45:54.600 --> 0:45:56.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting one. I was looking into a lot of trade

0:45:56.400 --> 0:45:59.080
<v Speaker 1>rumors over the weekend, and he has a player option

0:45:59.120 --> 0:46:01.280
<v Speaker 1>where he can get paid close to thirty million dollars

0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:04.000
<v Speaker 1>till one season next year. It's it's only one year, um,

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:07.239
<v Speaker 1>but I think Memphis would like to move both him

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and Mike Conley. Makes sense, right, because again they want

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:14.799
<v Speaker 1>to get inside the top eight picks this year, because um,

0:46:15.080 --> 0:46:18.400
<v Speaker 1>anything outside the top eight picks goes to Boston. Boston

0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:21.359
<v Speaker 1>has wear pick, but it's top eight protected. What deal

0:46:21.560 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>is that? Remember, I don't know how how did that happen?

0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember that. You can look into it, but um, yeah,

0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I actually have something pulled up with like the Celtics

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:31.719
<v Speaker 1>picks the next couple of years. A couple of years,

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:33.560
<v Speaker 1>they have the King's Pick, which is a top one

0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:36.279
<v Speaker 1>protective picks, so they're gonna get that pick and the

0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Memphis Grizzlies. If the pick falls outside the top eight,

0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that would be that would go to Boston and then

0:46:43.680 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 1>next year it would it would move to next year,

0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:48.000
<v Speaker 1>but then it would be top six. So Memphis is

0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a team that I think they want to They want

0:46:50.200 --> 0:46:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to use that pick this year. They don't want it

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to go to Boston. They want to finish inside the

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:56.239
<v Speaker 1>top eight in the lottery, seems so I think that

0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:58.399
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be very very active try and move

0:46:58.840 --> 0:47:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Mike Conley and Mark a Soul. The problem with trying

0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to move Mike Colley's he has a very big contract

0:47:03.840 --> 0:47:05.480
<v Speaker 1>as well. So this is this is one of those

0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:08.600
<v Speaker 1>situations where and I asked this question last night on

0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Twitter and you it's always weird when we see teams

0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that are like, we need to attract our we need

0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:20.080
<v Speaker 1>to attach our bad contracts to our young players in

0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:23.800
<v Speaker 1>order to move them. And it's like we when we

0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:25.759
<v Speaker 1>saw them Mike Conley contract at the time we all

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of thought, like Mike Conley, max contract player. For

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:30.600
<v Speaker 1>a time, he was the highest paid player in the NBA.

0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And on paper, it's like anyone can realize that it's

0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:37.200
<v Speaker 1>not a good it's not a good signing. But when

0:47:37.280 --> 0:47:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you get into it, for a team like Memphis to

0:47:40.440 --> 0:47:42.799
<v Speaker 1>to bring back a player like that, that's what they

0:47:42.840 --> 0:47:44.759
<v Speaker 1>need to be able to do. They need to they

0:47:44.800 --> 0:47:46.920
<v Speaker 1>have to sign a guy like Mike Mike Conley who

0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:50.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe isn't worth a max contract and getting the paid

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the same amount of money that like Lebron James is.

0:47:53.160 --> 0:47:54.880
<v Speaker 1>But if Memphis wants to bring back players like that,

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that's what they need to be able to do. So now,

0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:58.640
<v Speaker 1>if they want to move Mike Conley, they even they

0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:00.720
<v Speaker 1>might have to attach like some of the younger players,

0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:03.520
<v Speaker 1>which I mean I don't Grizzlies don't really have a

0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:05.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of young talent right now, and they're not They're

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:08.680
<v Speaker 1>not moving Jaren Jackson, that's for sure. I've seen the

0:48:08.719 --> 0:48:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Pacers interested in a guy like Mike Conley that getting

0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:16.080
<v Speaker 1>from next year two and then you would have like

0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the future would be like Turner and Turner. The problem

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:24.719
<v Speaker 1>is if about the other power forward on the team.

0:48:24.800 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 1>But no, that's exactly what I'm getting at. He would

0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:28.200
<v Speaker 1>be part of the trade. You would have to give

0:48:28.280 --> 0:48:30.840
<v Speaker 1>up some bonus because he's a young player and he's talented,

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:32.360
<v Speaker 1>but you gotta give something to get something. Oh No,

0:48:33.360 --> 0:48:35.400
<v Speaker 1>but he'd be able to shine in Memphis. Yeah, Triple

0:48:35.520 --> 0:48:38.120
<v Speaker 1>J And then that's a nice little front court school

0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:41.279
<v Speaker 1>bonus and Jaren Jackson Jr. That school about what about

0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Cossul Maria. Where's a good landing spom for him? It's

0:48:45.239 --> 0:48:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's very similar to what Frank said about

0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Love, where it's a team that would have trouble

0:48:50.719 --> 0:48:54.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of um attracting free agents maybe like kind of

0:48:54.520 --> 0:48:56.440
<v Speaker 1>on the brink on the cusp, like could use some

0:48:56.560 --> 0:48:59.880
<v Speaker 1>veteran leadership. But again it's this the same situation as

0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:01.719
<v Speaker 1>as far as the contract. If you want to, if

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to take that money, like you know exactly

0:49:03.960 --> 0:49:06.799
<v Speaker 1>what he is, you're not, there's no there's no upside really,

0:49:07.520 --> 0:49:09.759
<v Speaker 1>um that you're banking on. It's just it is what

0:49:09.880 --> 0:49:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it is, you know, if they had anything left to trade,

0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I think Dallas is a great spot from Marcasol, Like,

0:49:16.320 --> 0:49:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a perfect spot for the only thing is that

0:49:18.400 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to compete this year, you know, I know,

0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:23.239
<v Speaker 1>I know, even but even next year you saw with Christops,

0:49:23.320 --> 0:49:29.160
<v Speaker 1>with Luca like Pam next to la Marcus Aldridge, I

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:30.840
<v Speaker 1>mean next to like taking it back. That's kind of

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:32.880
<v Speaker 1>like more of a traditional NBA lineup, where like you

0:49:32.960 --> 0:49:35.759
<v Speaker 1>have two big men in it. If there's anyone who

0:49:35.800 --> 0:49:37.759
<v Speaker 1>can do it, it's probable san Antonio Mike Conley also

0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 1>makes a lot of sense too. But they're not gonna

0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:42.880
<v Speaker 1>take on that contract. That's the problem. They do have

0:49:43.040 --> 0:49:44.959
<v Speaker 1>some young players, right you give up like a Derek

0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:48.560
<v Speaker 1>White or something like that. Let's going back to what

0:49:48.680 --> 0:49:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you said, frank It's like the problem with the system

0:49:50.600 --> 0:49:52.759
<v Speaker 1>in essence, because you have to give these these big

0:49:52.840 --> 0:49:55.560
<v Speaker 1>contracts to retain these players. But then when your plan

0:49:55.719 --> 0:49:57.839
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work out the way you hope it's going to work,

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and then you have to shed this contract, then it

0:50:00.280 --> 0:50:03.680
<v Speaker 1>becomes difficult to to make good deals and and get

0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot back in return. What other big name guys

0:50:06.719 --> 0:50:09.920
<v Speaker 1>can be traded that I have not named yet, Frankie

0:50:11.080 --> 0:50:14.160
<v Speaker 1>makes a lot of sense with the Orlando Magic, he's

0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:18.360
<v Speaker 1>having a fantastic, fantastic years. You want Obama to be

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the guy of the future. I think, you know on

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that same team, Aaron Gordon. I've seen his name floated

0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:25.279
<v Speaker 1>out there as well. I know he just signed a

0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:27.800
<v Speaker 1>four year contract in the off season, But what I

0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:30.759
<v Speaker 1>was reading about him is that his contract is very

0:50:30.840 --> 0:50:34.400
<v Speaker 1>trade friendly because as the further it goes into the contract,

0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the most money gets less, so it's like kind of

0:50:36.880 --> 0:50:39.400
<v Speaker 1>like front loaded money. So it actually makes a guy

0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like Aaron Gordon easier to trade. But with Orlando, they

0:50:42.480 --> 0:50:44.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't made the playoffs in so long, like they could

0:50:44.160 --> 0:50:46.799
<v Speaker 1>probably sneak into the Eastern Conference like playoffs this year.

0:50:46.840 --> 0:50:49.800
<v Speaker 1>You're obviously not going to do anything with that, but

0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:52.640
<v Speaker 1>it kind of needs something for the to show their fans. Right,

0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:56.600
<v Speaker 1>it's been so long since they've been relevant and in

0:50:56.680 --> 0:51:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, so they're they're a weird Steve, they could

0:51:00.560 --> 0:51:02.520
<v Speaker 1>either be buyers or sellers. I think they're kind of

0:51:02.520 --> 0:51:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like one of those wild card teams that Steve Clifford has.

0:51:04.880 --> 0:51:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Clifford has the magic currently three games three games out,

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.399
<v Speaker 1>but they have a few teams to pass. Three teams

0:51:10.400 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>to pass, unfortunately for them. Yeah, but they could pass Washington,

0:51:14.040 --> 0:51:19.799
<v Speaker 1>like they're given a half back in Detroit. They are

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:22.720
<v Speaker 1>three games back in Miami. I mean Detroit. Detroit's probably

0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:27.440
<v Speaker 1>a team that should be active at trade deadline. I

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:31.279
<v Speaker 1>think I've seen Mike Conley's name as well. Isn't it

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 1>crazy how this time last year everything with Blake Griffin.

0:51:34.080 --> 0:51:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I think I actually came on the show this time

0:51:36.440 --> 0:51:39.319
<v Speaker 1>last year when that happened, and I was thinking, like, Wow,

0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Detroit could actually, like you, get in the playoffs, they

0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:45.160
<v Speaker 1>could actually do something. And now it's all it's all

0:51:45.239 --> 0:51:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a mess. With that, We're gonna sign off of YouTube.

0:51:49.160 --> 0:51:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Another five minutes on the radio. Frenzies up next, Corey, Jim,

0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:55.239
<v Speaker 1>uh and Chris. You's taking around for that too. Were

0:51:55.239 --> 0:51:57.399
<v Speaker 1>you invited on that? Uh No, I'm gonna go get

0:51:57.440 --> 0:52:01.279
<v Speaker 1>some food. No Frenzy. So, Maria, this is your last

0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:04.359
<v Speaker 1>live show. You want to say goodbye before we buddy?

0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for watching. You guys are the best fs for real.

0:52:10.000 --> 0:52:13.320
<v Speaker 1>We remember alright for last show, Martin, here we go.

0:52:14.840 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding. There's no last show, alright. I appreciate

0:52:17.560 --> 0:52:20.359
<v Speaker 1>you watching. Likes, rate, subscribe rates, ribe of Stars, leave

0:52:20.400 --> 0:52:23.279
<v Speaker 1>a comment and make sure you stick with us for

0:52:23.560 --> 0:52:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the next four and a half minutes as we continue

0:52:26.480 --> 0:52:29.920
<v Speaker 1>on and wrap up our r n B A show here. Um, guys,

0:52:30.080 --> 0:52:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll think the last couple of minutes and talking locally

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:34.880
<v Speaker 1>for us, where's on the radio now? So let's just

0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:37.440
<v Speaker 1>do our thing right. Uh, let's have all of a

0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 1>sudden gotten a little cold here. They've lost three in

0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:42.160
<v Speaker 1>a row, six and four, which is okay in their

0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:43.719
<v Speaker 1>last time, but they have lost three in a row.

0:52:44.200 --> 0:52:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Harris LeVert could be back as soon as next week.

0:52:46.080 --> 0:52:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll probably come back right after the All

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Star break more than likely, um special June when you

0:52:49.760 --> 0:52:51.880
<v Speaker 1>hopefully will come back at some point. I think we

0:52:51.920 --> 0:52:54.279
<v Speaker 1>all knew that the Nets would um come back down

0:52:54.360 --> 0:52:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to earth a little bit. But what is that ceiling

0:52:56.920 --> 0:53:00.200
<v Speaker 1>this year for them? Area? Well, I think the sling

0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is actually I still feel pretty good about them. Um.

0:53:03.360 --> 0:53:06.279
<v Speaker 1>As Frank mentioned before, this is that sort of time

0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:08.920
<v Speaker 1>right before the All Star break where teams are banged up.

0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:13.080
<v Speaker 1>They're just they're really limping into that break. Um. You

0:53:13.160 --> 0:53:16.760
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Spencer Denuities should be back by early March the latest,

0:53:17.520 --> 0:53:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and then Caris LeVert will be back shortly. And I

0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:24.080
<v Speaker 1>just I only think that they're going to get better

0:53:24.160 --> 0:53:27.280
<v Speaker 1>from that, I don't think whatever um sort of chemistry

0:53:27.360 --> 0:53:29.760
<v Speaker 1>they've tapped into is going to be at risk because

0:53:29.760 --> 0:53:32.560
<v Speaker 1>of that. I think the more options for them the better. UM.

0:53:32.960 --> 0:53:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna be kind of in the lower

0:53:35.320 --> 0:53:39.759
<v Speaker 1>half of the playoff conversation UM in the playoff race.

0:53:40.400 --> 0:53:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But I I still really like what this team is

0:53:42.600 --> 0:53:45.399
<v Speaker 1>doing and and can do, and I feel good about them.

0:53:46.320 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they're ceiling is the five seed in the

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Conference because the Indiana Pacers are occupying that spot

0:53:51.880 --> 0:53:54.279
<v Speaker 1>right now. But they have kind of fallen apart here

0:53:54.360 --> 0:53:57.279
<v Speaker 1>frankly without Oladipo, so maybe they make a move from

0:53:58.080 --> 0:53:59.799
<v Speaker 1>So they have won their last two and they're gonna

0:54:00.040 --> 0:54:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and you want to note that must have been last week.

0:54:02.239 --> 0:54:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Then it's like every time I looked up at the

0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:06.239
<v Speaker 1>box where they were getting blown. Pacers are seven games

0:54:06.320 --> 0:54:08.600
<v Speaker 1>up with the nets right now a lot. That is

0:54:08.600 --> 0:54:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot. That is a lot, Yeah, but actually it's there.

0:54:11.600 --> 0:54:13.600
<v Speaker 1>There was actually be hard for them to stay afloat

0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:16.840
<v Speaker 1>though without I do I do think this, but the

0:54:16.920 --> 0:54:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Pacers were a lot of people have talked to them

0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:21.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of coming back down Oladipo. They're tied of the

0:54:21.680 --> 0:54:23.839
<v Speaker 1>three see they're tied of Boston and Philly right now.

0:54:24.200 --> 0:54:26.279
<v Speaker 1>They I understand they probably cannot keep up with their

0:54:26.320 --> 0:54:28.239
<v Speaker 1>pa that pace, but a lot of credit goes out

0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to Indiana what they've been doing this year. Yeah, I

0:54:30.520 --> 0:54:32.600
<v Speaker 1>just think that's the ceiling. That's the ceiling for the

0:54:32.680 --> 0:54:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn Nets this year. You know, looking at the roster,

0:54:35.239 --> 0:54:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Kevin Love could actually make sense there as well.

0:54:38.160 --> 0:54:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I know that they're going to try and be players

0:54:39.719 --> 0:54:42.360
<v Speaker 1>in free agency. They I feel like people have floating

0:54:42.360 --> 0:54:47.000
<v Speaker 1>around Jimmy Butler as a possibility in Brooklyn. But um, yeah,

0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:49.800
<v Speaker 1>like they have they have young they have young players

0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:51.760
<v Speaker 1>on the team. The next step is they need stars,

0:54:51.920 --> 0:54:54.279
<v Speaker 1>right and I think, you know, Daniel Russell is kind

0:54:54.280 --> 0:54:57.279
<v Speaker 1>of developing into that. He's not necessarily there yet. He's

0:54:57.280 --> 0:54:59.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna play in his first All Star Game, and rightfully

0:54:59.280 --> 0:55:02.360
<v Speaker 1>so have good pieces. They have Din Witty Jared Allen,

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a rim protector, kind of classic style center. Uh. They

0:55:05.760 --> 0:55:07.600
<v Speaker 1>have Chabad's Napier. They have some depth on the bench.

0:55:07.840 --> 0:55:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And please put some respect on Cares Lavert's name. You know,

0:55:10.680 --> 0:55:12.360
<v Speaker 1>let's not forget what he was doing early on in

0:55:12.360 --> 0:55:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the season. I know it was a small sample size,

0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:16.200
<v Speaker 1>but this is gonna be a big addition once they

0:55:16.200 --> 0:55:18.879
<v Speaker 1>get him back. Remember he was the closer for this team.

0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:21.279
<v Speaker 1>He won them a few games single handedly down the

0:55:21.280 --> 0:55:25.080
<v Speaker 1>stretch where you know, a little some some drives, uh,

0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:28.759
<v Speaker 1>scoring at the last second to win games. He's a

0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:31.400
<v Speaker 1>good two way player as well. And this is a

0:55:31.480 --> 0:55:36.439
<v Speaker 1>team that has frankly has has uh. They've they haven't

0:55:36.480 --> 0:55:39.440
<v Speaker 1>necessarily done it through the draft. I know they drafted LeVert,

0:55:39.880 --> 0:55:44.239
<v Speaker 1>but they've They've made some shrewd smart man to get

0:55:44.280 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to Angelo Russell, to pick up Dinwitty when he was

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:48.520
<v Speaker 1>just like laying around on waivers and no one else

0:55:48.560 --> 0:55:50.880
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA wanted himself. Credit to them, have done

0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a great job. Kenny Atkinson, I think is a very

0:55:52.640 --> 0:55:54.400
<v Speaker 1>good coach. Their ceiling this year, I think is the

0:55:54.440 --> 0:55:56.800
<v Speaker 1>five seed. I do think that they'll make the playoffs.

0:55:56.960 --> 0:55:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I know that they've scuffled. I don't think that they're

0:55:58.640 --> 0:56:00.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna fall out of it. But if they really wanted

0:56:01.000 --> 0:56:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to do a little bit more, maybe they're active at

0:56:02.960 --> 0:56:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the trade deadline. But Laverte coming back is gonna be

0:56:05.440 --> 0:56:06.799
<v Speaker 1>huge for them. I don't I don't think they need

0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:09.239
<v Speaker 1>to be active at the deadline personally, like, I don't think.

0:56:09.920 --> 0:56:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I think they're kind of ahead of schedule, their head

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:13.839
<v Speaker 1>of schedule right now. This is kind of the house,

0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:16.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the Atlanta Braves of baseball last year,

0:56:16.280 --> 0:56:19.839
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees the year before that. I very much. Yeah,

0:56:19.920 --> 0:56:22.200
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that if they if they make you know,

0:56:22.360 --> 0:56:24.239
<v Speaker 1>five six seed or so in the playoffs, that it

0:56:24.280 --> 0:56:27.239
<v Speaker 1>would be huge for them. That'd be amazing. I'm really

0:56:27.320 --> 0:56:30.239
<v Speaker 1>really excited about this Brooklyn team. Yeah. I think Tina

0:56:30.320 --> 0:56:32.440
<v Speaker 1>just plays together. That doesn't have that superstar and the

0:56:32.520 --> 0:56:34.920
<v Speaker 1>question will be can they get it. If I think

0:56:34.960 --> 0:56:36.959
<v Speaker 1>they should get If they could get one free agent

0:56:37.040 --> 0:56:40.120
<v Speaker 1>this summer, they have one person to come there, everything

0:56:40.600 --> 0:56:43.200
<v Speaker 1>everything changes open. I don't know if that will happen.

0:56:43.239 --> 0:56:44.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can actually see a guy like Jimmy

0:56:44.800 --> 0:56:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Butler though no fitting in in New York, whether it's

0:56:47.480 --> 0:56:50.719
<v Speaker 1>within Nicks. Wasn't Jimmy Butler going to Brooklyn? Then just

0:56:50.880 --> 0:56:53.040
<v Speaker 1>piss everybody off on that team because you have such

0:56:53.080 --> 0:56:55.560
<v Speaker 1>good camaraderie and such good chemistry on that team. Jimmy Beltok,

0:56:55.640 --> 0:56:57.440
<v Speaker 1>just blow that whole thing up. They don't have anything.

0:56:57.680 --> 0:56:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I just see him going to Brooklyn and just blowing

0:56:59.640 --> 0:57:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it all. Yeah. I mean there's um. Jammy Butler has

0:57:05.920 --> 0:57:08.120
<v Speaker 1>gotten a lot of heat for like the way he's reacted,

0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the way that he holds people, you know, accountable. He's

0:57:10.680 --> 0:57:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a fiery dude man, and he's talked about it. I

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:15.680
<v Speaker 1>know there was an interview either last week or a

0:57:15.719 --> 0:57:17.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago where he was talking about when

0:57:17.680 --> 0:57:20.000
<v Speaker 1>he first came in the league. The reason he is,

0:57:21.200 --> 0:57:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the reason he is this way is because like players

0:57:24.080 --> 0:57:27.240
<v Speaker 1>like Joakim Noah and like that team in like Louil Dank,

0:57:27.320 --> 0:57:29.200
<v Speaker 1>they always see yelled at each other and screaming each

0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:31.600
<v Speaker 1>other and hold people accountable. This is just kind of

0:57:31.680 --> 0:57:35.160
<v Speaker 1>like fitting into the way everything is today where everyone's soft. Unfortunately,
