Speaker 1: sideline gigs for TNT, freshly back from Denver where they

16
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: showed him strutting down the hall with stan Van Gundhi.

17
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: One of you had some fresh kicks on. It was

18
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: not the former NBA coach. I saw some all white

19
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: but were the what were those? Those were the patent

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: it legendary all white Air Force ones Star. You could

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: never go wrong with a pair of all white Air

22
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: Force ones. Do you wear a different pair of shoes

23
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to every TV game? The people want to know. I

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: can't say I do that. I would like to come

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: up here in and try to brag, but I don't.

26
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: The good thing about TV is that they don't show

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: my shoes often. So I just happened to walk right

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: in front of the uh the Bleacher Report Kicks cam

29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: and I had on my peer. Uh oh, that's why

30
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that part. That's why we saw it.

31
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: It was it was the b our Kicks camera. So

32
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: but no, I definitely keep some fresh kicks, but I

33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: can't say I have I rock new kicks every game.

34
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: It's got the most in part of the game they fit?

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Is that the most what is that the most important

36
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: part of the game? They fit? No, not for me,

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: because my shoes don't show all the time. You know,

38
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: what is you? I mean, it has to be it

39
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: has to be your suit, It has to be your

40
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: tire because that's what's going to show for the most part.

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: But now that now that I think about it, you know,

42
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: I did when I did the selfest game a week

43
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: ago and interviewed Tatum at the end of the game,

44
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: and it was that kind of legendary moment where Draymond

45
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: came from the back and started um roughing up Tatum's

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: son dudes right behind me, and it showed my whole

47
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: fit from top to bottom. And I'm kind of putting

48
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: myself out there and I'm going to get killed for this,

49
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say that you know this, this this

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: this is part of this league as well. So style,

51
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: don't know if you know, uh, A lot of my suits, man,

52
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: you know, I started getting them Taylor a couple of

53
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: years ago, and you know, trying to go with the

54
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Italian fit, and and I I kind of my pants.

55
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: I would just say that the Taylor didn't do me

56
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: right as far as the lift goes, because a lot

57
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: of my pants are a little bit shorter than what

58
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: they should be. That's the style now. And when I

59
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: and when I leave the house with pants are a

60
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: little bit shorter, missus Stein does not hesitate to say

61
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: that I Am way too old to be wearing pants

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, but that is the style. It's the style.

63
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: If they're tailor right, I'm flutting a little bit. And

64
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: so I got killed a ton off of that. That

65
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: interview If I'm Tatum with Draymond was offen up deducing

66
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: the back drop because you can see my pants just flood,

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: and you could just see my socks, and so they

68
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: can be altered. I gotta get them altered a little

69
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: bit better. But yeah, so, m I can't say, you know,

70
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm learning, I'm getting better. I'm getting better at this.

71
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna take me some time. So maybe

72
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: you're still maybe you're still growing. No, I can't say that,

73
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: So I'm talking seasoned. Another thing too, starry. I off

74
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm six foot two and I wear size

75
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: fifteen shoes, and I've been wearing size fifteen shoes since

76
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: I was fourteen. I was supposed to be like six seven,

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: six eight. It never happened. So anytime anyone sees my feet,

78
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: it just looks awkward and weird on a six two frame,

79
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: And six seven could have been a whole different story.

80
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: You could have been in the league. You could have

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: been in this league. If you were six seven, I

82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: would have been your guest at that point in the league.

83
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: You would have been my source. All right, we've I

84
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: look you know I would do travel talk and how

85
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: the road it was for the whole for the whole show,

86
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: if we could, but we'll save that for March. I

87
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 1: actually came up with a little bit of a game

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: because I thought that this would be the best way

89
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: for us to hit as many different guys as we could. Um,

90
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna let you go first. And basically the

91
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: way we're gonna do this is you asked me about

92
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: a player, and I'll give you the latest of where

93
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: he stands. These are all going to be guys that

94
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: have been discussed prominently as the trade deadline years one

95
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: week away. So hopefully, just by this exercise, hopefully we'll

96
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: get through. I came up with a list of eight.

97
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get through these eight and and by doing

98
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: it this way we will. We will I think, cover

99
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: pretty much all the latest and greatest of what's going on.

100
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: So let's see. Let's see if this idea actually works.

101
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: And like I said, the floor is going to be

102
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: yours first. You go first, and you've got some names.

103
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I've got some names. You asked me first, then I'll

104
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: ask you and we'll go back and forth like that.

105
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's let's start right here. Let's start

106
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: right here in your own backyard. You know where I'm

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: going with this, your own backyard. Luca is not available,

108
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: that would be news right there. Let's go with um.

109
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's go with his starting mate, Dorian Finney Smith. What

110
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: are you hearing on him? What is the latest? One

111
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: of his favorite teammates, for sure, and there has been

112
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: much more chatter here lately. I would say this based

113
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: on what everything I've heard on the Dorian Phinney Smith

114
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: front in December, if you would have hit up the

115
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: maps to try to talk Dorian Finney Smith trades, I

116
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: don't even think you would have gotten a response. They

117
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: have changed that stance. They certainly are more prepared to

118
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: discuss this, to discuss Finney Smith. But you know, I

119
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: don't think UTAH it has this UTAH is not based

120
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: on everything I've been told in Breathless Pursuit of Dorian

121
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Phinney Smith as it's been described in some corners. I

122
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: think the Jazz are fans of his, but you know,

123
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: you know they're not. They're not in a win now situation,

124
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: So I don't you know, I think they like him,

125
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: but you know they're just as busy trying to You know,

126
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: the Jazz have so many guys that are in play

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: at this deadline, whether it's Conley Vanderbilt, Rudy Gay, I mean,

128
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: on and on and on that you know, there's so

129
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: many different directions that the Jazz can go trade wise. Um,

130
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, I I don't know that they're I just

131
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: think that they've been described as a little a little

132
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: more thirsty for Dorian Phinney Smith that than they actually are.

133
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: What I mean, And the one part I forgot it

134
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: if you whoever asked the question, if you want to tat,

135
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: if you want to add yours or just so we

136
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: can just move on to the next one. But um,

137
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you I don't know if you're

138
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: here indifferent or feel different. I'm just surprised. And I'm

00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: you. You You talked about him from the sideline in Denver

156
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: and Bones Highland. It really sounds like he's on the move. Yeah,

157
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: so's there's a lot going on over there. You know,

158
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: there's some friction between Bones Highland and you know the

159
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff over there. Bones Highland obviously wants to play more.

160
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: He believes he deserves a larger role. I was told,

161
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, I reported on the sidelines for TNT the

162
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: game Tuesday night Denver in New Orleans. I reported that

163
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: sources inform me that he is very open to being

164
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: traded for a larger role. And you look at what Denver,

165
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: what Denver is at. You know, this is a team

166
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: that's contending to be a championship continued team, and you

167
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: have Bones Highland, who just was named to the Rising

168
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: Stars Game. So he is a young promising player. But

169
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, does his age and does his trajectory of

170
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: progression does it tie in with what Denver is trying

171
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: to do right now? And so I think with you know,

172
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a it's been a rough road

173
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: for Bones this season. Um, I'm trying to say my

174
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: words carefully because I don't want to say too much

175
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: as of right now, but it's it's been a rocky road. Yeah, No,

176
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: I think I think you're absolutely right, Like, you know,

177
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: the kind of polite version here is he's a young

178
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: guy who's not necessarily on the timeline of these veterans

179
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: who are chasing the championship. But it has been rocky.

180
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: No punned intended about the team that resides in the

181
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: Rocky Mountains because you know, um, there has been tension

182
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: about playing time and there is concern on that coaching

183
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: staff about his defensive deficiencies. So it's but it's just

184
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's just happened. It's really in this last week.

185
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: To me, he's kind of a I mean, he's he's

186
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: emerged as one of the more likely names to move,

187
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: and I you know, two three weeks ago, I don't

188
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: know that we would have said that. So we gotta

189
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: definitely keep our eye on him. And there are you know,

190
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: there's a handful of team that the Nuggets have reached

191
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: out and kind of canvassed his market and his value.

192
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: And so the next couple of days, if it hasn't

193
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: started started already, they're going to start engaging in dialogue

194
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: on what a deal could look like and what I

195
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: will say. You know, there's a handful of teams who

196
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: have registered interests. Among those teams, two teams I know

197
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: for sure, Minnesota and Charlotte is what I was told. Yeah,

198
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: the dynamic with Minnesota Stein is you know, I think

199
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: you know the owner UM for the Nuggets UM name

200
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: is skipping me, Josh Josh Cronk. Cronk, Yes, remember he

201
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: doesn't you know, he didn't like how Tim Conley exited

202
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: Denver to go takeover in Minnesota. And Tim obviously drafted

203
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: Bones and thinks highly of them, and so I would

204
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: be very surprised if there is a move there. I

205
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: think out of potentially how to spite there would probably

206
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: would not be a move to Denver in Minnesota. You know,

207
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: that's the pitome of this league. But yet Charlotte is

208
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: another one of the teams I've heard. And you know,

209
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: one one more thing I want to add is that

210
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: Denver really wants to give more playing time to their

211
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: rookie Christian Brown, who they have a lot of confidence in.

212
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: So you know they're they're looking for a veteran presence.

213
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: All right, Well that was a lot your turn. You're up.

214
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: Who's on your list you want to ask me about?

215
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to let's go with let's go

216
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference. Let's go to the Philadelphia seventy

217
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: six ers. Matie Thible. Yeah, so I reported, and I

218
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: think it was after our first pod. Now I'm not

219
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: even sure, man, These days are running together and I'm

220
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: old and washed and I can't remember anything. But I

221
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: don't think we talked about Tible in the first pod.

222
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: You know, Sacramento has their eye on him. I don't

223
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: know if there's a deal there. I mean, it isn't

224
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: even fully clear if fully if Philly is gonna make

225
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: Tible available, But look, Sacramento definitely has their eye on

226
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: that situation. Now today, our friend Keith Pompey from the

227
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: Philly inquir He reported that Golden State is also kind

228
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: of monitoring the Tyble situation. I have to say, I

229
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: haven't independently confirmed that, so you know, we can only

230
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: go with Keith's report on that one. But you know,

231
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Tyble's such a polarizing player. I think if we had

232
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: Sixers fans dialed in here, half would say, you know,

233
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: they would you know, do anything they could to keep

234
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: in town, and the other half would would would send

235
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: him out. You know, I'm a fan. I you know,

236
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: he just the defense that he's capable of. I mean,

237
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: I know there's concerned about his shooting and all that,

238
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: but man, I you know, if he's really in play,

239
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: I would imagine that there would be some some pretty

240
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: considerable interest in him because he he is a defensive

241
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: difference maker. And if you know, Sacramento's interest is clear,

242
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, as I mean, it's been a dream for

243
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: the Kings. Nobody on this planet, I don't care how

244
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: optimistic they are, thought that Sacramento had a chance to

245
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: go into the All Star Break with the third seed

246
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: in the West after sixteen straight years out of the playoffs.

247
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: But we know Mike Brown Love's defense and they have

248
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: a need for more defense on the perimeter. So you know,

249
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: can they pull a deal off? I don't know. Is

250
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: Tible someone that they're monitoring very much? Yes, I would

251
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: be very surprised if Matissa's move but a deadline. Yes,

252
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: they You know, there's always been a talk about he's

253
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: not a ficial offense, he's not a consistent outside threat,

254
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: but that the havoc he causes the defensive end, like

255
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: when he's playing consistent minutes, he's he's a difference maker,

256
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the steals, the blocks, uh, to the you know, to

257
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: get into space, to get into guys. You know, he's

258
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: one of the best at doing that, probably the best.

259
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: We think about all. You know, all those attributes that

260
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: he brings to the table defensively. So um, you know,

261
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: a player like him, even with the limitation that people

262
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: talk about on offensive player like him in the playoffs,

263
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: you know that that that pays dividends for you. So

264
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: I still have a hard time believe it he'll be moved.

265
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: All right, Let's try to trade somebody. Let I mean,

266
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: we I think we I think we I think we

267
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: got we can't create news thuh, Well, the bone island

268
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: stuff is very interesting. But Jay Crowder, I'm gonna ask

269
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: you now about Jay Crowder has to be traded, right,

270
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, this is this is getting ridiculous. So

271
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: let me tell you that. So when I got word

272
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: of that, Remember we talked about that three team deal

273
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: that was proposed with that involved Phoenix Milwaukee in Washington.

274
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: I was told a little bit after that deal fell through,

275
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: I was told by one of the teams that they

276
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't at that time that they wouldn't be surprised if

277
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Phoenix ultimately ended up buying out Jay Crowder. Wow. That

278
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: it was just it was just looking like a staring

279
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: contest between Crowder and the Suns, and nobody was blinking.

280
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be the case. I

281
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: don't think Phoenix can afford to just buy him out

282
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: and not get anything in return. One thing I will

283
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: say about Jay crowderstein Yes, to answer you a question, Yes,

284
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: I do think he'll be moved by the deadline. But Crowder,

285
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: this is a this is a unique season. And when

286
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm what I mean by that is that Jay Crowder,

287
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's a really good player in his role.

288
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: He's a three D player. Does all the dirty work

289
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: for you. Um, he's a good player for a contented team.

290
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: And so when you look at the teams out there

291
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: that's buying for his services, Milwaukee, a Miami, those are

292
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: teams who feel like, I don't I don't want to

293
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: say that he's the he would be the difference maker,

294
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: but he would definitely elevate their status. And with Phoenix

295
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: knowing that, that means there's a premium. And so this

296
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: is this is why Phoenix has been kind of, um,

297
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: trying to get as much as they can. We talk

298
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: about first round picks that you know at one point

299
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: and it's not because there's a ton of interest. It's

300
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: just because there's interest from teams who feel like they're

301
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: on a cusp of doing some special and feel like

302
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: he could be that one to take them to that

303
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: next level. And with that being said, I think something

304
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: ultimately gets done. I feel like the Milwaukee Bucks will

305
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: probably make that move. I know. I spoke with Crowder.

306
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: I spoke with him a week a week and a

307
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: half ago, but I spoke to him about a month ago,

308
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: and at that time he felt like things were pointing

309
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee. So I have a hard time believe in

310
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is gonna discontinue that pursuit. Let me just ask

311
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: you one more thing on this, because I think you're

312
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: is well positioned and well placed. I mean, you've been

313
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: all over the Crowder situation all season. A question I

314
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: get a lot, and I don't really have any answer.

315
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: Why can't these sides just patch it up? What if

316
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: there's no trade? Can Crowder and the Sun say, you

317
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: know what, let's reconcile, Let's come back and finish the

318
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I think for what? And that's

319
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, Crowder has yet to give a full detailed

320
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: interview yet, so I think he will do that once

321
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: he re emerges and gets on the team. But you know,

322
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: there's something happened, like something happened, and for some reason,

323
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: it feels like it's beyond repair. Because if there was

324
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: any chance of reconciliation, I would think it would have

325
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: been done when Cam Johnson was out for a long time.

326
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: And so I don't see that happening. And if you

327
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: see the you know, if you seee the statements that

328
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: Jay Crowder has made to me, I don't know if

329
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: he spoke to anybody else. He might have, but you know,

330
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like he's you know, it's not even

331
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: an option. You know, it's not even option. And uh,

332
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: some people will say he's been throwing shots at the

333
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: Suns this whole time, So I don't know, that's That's

334
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: what we all need to wait and hear for to

335
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: get his side of what actually happened. You know, we

336
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: can kind of put pieces together. But from the times

337
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: I've spoken with Jay, he said that, you know, there's

338
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: a lot of news that's not true that's surfacing. So uh,

339
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm waiting on him to give his to

340
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: give his response to it all. Yeah. Look, I think

341
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: I would bet on a trade at this point too,

342
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: just because I mean, this thing has literally been rumbling

343
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: since September. But man, it would it would be super

344
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: interesting if there's no trade, and would he become a

345
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: buyout guy? I mean that would be fascinating because I

346
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: think if he's a buyout guy, the line to sign

347
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: him is really long and if and that's why I

348
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: can't see Phoenix letting it go that route, like can

349
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: they waste an asset and just allowing to buy him

350
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: out in Star and listen, you know you getting on

351
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: me about you know, I just got a call, you know,

352
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: from a from a prominent agent right now. I had

353
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: to had to take that call. You're just tweeting. You

354
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: just tweet it right now while we're doing this podcast.

355
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: How are you doing this? Start? Yeah? But you know what,

356
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: that's really not that impressive because the truth is I

357
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: had to tweet kind of ready before we went on.

358
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: So really, all I had to do is hit one button.

359
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: That's really nothing. I thought when I was talking, I

360
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: had to retire a titchet. You did you think I

361
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: can't listen and just hit one button. I mean, I

362
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: know I'm washed, but I can do that. I can

363
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: do that, all right, your turn? Who do you want

364
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: to know about? Let's go let's go with uh, let's

365
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: let's stick in the Eastern Conference Bogdanovich. Yeah, his situation

366
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: my favorite trade topic because I actually do think to

367
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: this point he is the best player in play. Now

368
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: that statement might not hold for another week because we

369
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: have to see is Toronto going, you know, is Toronto

370
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna make more of their veterans available? You know to

371
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: this point, we you know, are they really are they

372
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: just listening on? Anna Nobi and Fred van Vliet, Are

373
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: those guys really in play. I don't think they're really

374
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: in play. But um, Bogdanovich, We've been taught talking about

375
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: him for months. The list of teams that want him

376
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: goes on forever, and that's why we keep talking about him.

377
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: But this is so interesting. The most recent thing I've

378
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: heard is that, and we've you know, for weeks now,

379
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: we've been saying Detroit will only trade Bugdanovitch if they

380
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: get an unprotected first round pick. I heard from one

381
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: source this week, even if somebody offers the unprotected first

382
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: that all you media guys have been talking about for ages,

383
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: this person still thinks that Detroit's gonna say no, that

384
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: they are that serious about keeping Bugdanovitch. And if that's

385
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: the case, I mean, look in seven more days and

386
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna know. Was this a negotiating ploy or was

387
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: this a real stance from the Pistons Because they've taken

388
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: a hardline with boyon Bugdanovitch, with Alec Burks, with Sadiq Bay.

389
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: You know we're gonna see but more and more. When

390
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: I talked to teams about Bugdanovitch, and again, I've asked

391
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: about him a lot, because I mean, he's playing All

392
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: Star ball he's not gonna make the All Star team

393
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: because in the All Star reserves are going to be

394
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: announced later today, Detroit's not getting an All Star with

395
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: the season they've had, but he should be in the conversation.

396
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: But by all accounts, Detroit next year wants to be competitive.

397
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: They want to be a playoff team. And the message

398
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: they keep telling people is that we need this guy.

399
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: We need an old head to put with Kade and

400
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Ivy and our other young guys and whoever getting with

401
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: the draft. And like I said, I think six weeks ago,

402
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: a month ago in Vegas at Showcase, two weeks ago,

403
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: nobody believed the Pistons. But now I think people really

404
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: do believe the Pistons. So we're gonna, you know, again,

405
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: seven more days and we're gonna get our answer. But

406
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: I have to say I can't let it go and

407
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: can't stop talking about the guy, because I really think

408
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: to this point, whether it's the Lakers or Milwaukee or

409
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: Dallas or Phoenix or any number of teams that want

410
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: this guy, he is he would be a difference maker

411
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: if he moves. But but again, I think the Pistons

412
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: really have finally gotten it across that they're not trading

413
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: this guy. So again, seven more days and we'll we'll

414
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: know if it was all smokescreen or if it was

415
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: it was the real deal. On one executive describe Detroit

416
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: in a matter of posturing. That's the way they describe

417
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: the situation with boc Donovics saying that I feel like

418
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: they're posturing and they're telling teams that they how they say,

419
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: let me look at this text. They are posturing like

420
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: they want to keep him. And you know that speaks

421
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: to your point right there, Stein, And it also speaks

422
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: to the market again because there are there are a

423
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: ton of buyers. Look at my doorbeill, just reign. That's

424
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: the pizza delivery coming there. They're with me, let me

425
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: get this pizza and I'll be right back. You are

426
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: quite dead. This is this is entertaining. This this glimpse

427
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: into your life. You know, man, I thought I knew

428
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: you pretty well, but tonight I've tonight I've really gotten

429
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: to like live with you and kind of watch you

430
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: and actually taking calls in the middle of this of

431
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: this pod working sources, pizza delivery, educational, I'm getting a

432
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: real real uh my best. This is like a full

433
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: semester at Chris Haynes. You pizza, my bad. So what

434
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: I was saying was, I think it speaks to the

435
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: market again because there's a there's a whole bunch of buyers,

436
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: but not a lot of sellers. And so the ones

437
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: that are selling, or or the ones that are posturing

438
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: like they're selling, they can put certain guys at a

439
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: premium that wouldn't be at a premium in any other

440
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: any other season. So, uh, you know again, but Godiver

441
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: is that is a He's a key guy who I

442
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I think if you had asked me a

443
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: month ago if he was going to be moved, I

444
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: would have said most definitely. But you know that's a

445
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: little bit more cloudy on my end. Yeah, look, I help.

446
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, even he's not moving. But but

447
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: to this point he's kind of been to me the

448
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: the you know, the standout difference maker that seemingly in play,

449
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: but even he's not played. So all right now I'm

450
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna ask you. I'm gonna throw it back to you.

451
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: And I already said both of these guys because we've

452
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: been talking about him a lot. Let's start with Annaobi.

453
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: Lots of interest, But what do you think does he

454
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: actually can he actually be moved here in the next week.

455
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: I think he can. Um. You know, there's always that

456
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: the question of what is he worth? Um, we're hearing, God,

457
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: we're hearing what was it, three first round picks circulating

458
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: on him. I haven't been able to independently, you know,

459
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: prove that or even validate that. I think I saw

460
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: somewhere that the Knicks might be that team. And again

461
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: that's something I can't I can't vouch for myself. But

462
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 1: what I will say is is the raptors are listening.

463
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: They are taking in proposals, trying to gauge what they

464
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: actually can get in return for Nanobi. I will say

465
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: that New Orleans Pelicans are definitely high on them. They're

466
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: definitely high on them. I got some time to spend

467
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: some time with the Pelicans overhere the last few days,

468
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: and so the Pelicans definitely feel like he can be

469
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: a fit within their system and with their scheme and

470
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: their personnel. So you know there's going to be serious pursuit.

471
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: Do I think he's ultimately moved. I do. I do,

472
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: because I think I think og himself off what I'm hearing,

473
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: he would like a change of scenery himself. Um, I don't.

474
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's going to management or it's

475
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: got that far and to request the trade. But management

476
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: know how he feels. He's let it be known already.

477
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: UM so I think he would he would embrace the

478
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: change of scenery. So, with all that being said and

479
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: everything that we've been hearing circulating out of Toronto leads

480
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: me to believe that he can be moved. And before

481
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 1: the only person I thought weeks ago that would be

482
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: moved from Toronto was going to be you know, the

483
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: guy you touched on our last part, Gary Trent Junior.

484
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: And I do think it can be multiple guys moved

485
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: this time around. Yeah, so we should just keep it

486
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: all here in Toronto, and then you can you can

487
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: you can close it out by asking me about whoever

488
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: has left on your list, because you know, let's let's

489
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: bring Van Vleet into the conversation. I'm glad we pose

490
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: this to you instead of the other way around, because

491
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: I probably would have said, I know, I would have

492
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: said no way on Annaobi. Um I you know, I

493
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: I guess that really stems from just knowing that this

494
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: is one of Messiah Jerry's favorite guys, and it would

495
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: take a ton to get him. I mean the three

496
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: first round picks thing I think if Toronto had, I mean,

497
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I have not. I do not have

498
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: full blown confirmation that someone has offered three first And

499
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: my just gut reaction is if three firsts were already

500
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 1: on the table, this probably would have happened. That's a

501
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: lot um. I guess it also depends on what else

502
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: is with it. But you know, the thing I keep

503
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: saying about and about Van Vleet two is that Toronto.

504
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: Toronto is in the mix for one of the worst

505
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: five records in the league as it is right now

506
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: with keeping their guy is they don't have to You're

507
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: not gonna get into the bottom four. The bottom four

508
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: are are too bad. So like they're already in the

509
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: mix for the fifth best lottery odds with the team

510
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: they have right now, so they don't have to strip

511
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: it down now, they don't have to send Annaobe and

512
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Fred away because you're it's not gonna make them bad

513
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: enough to get into that bottom four with your Houston's,

514
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: your San Antonio's, You're Charlotte's. It's just it's just it's

515
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: so and I and I do think that there is that,

516
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, that thought process of well it would be

517
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: nice to hang on to most of these guys and

518
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: then see what we get in the lottery and then

519
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: then see what we have. But look, I mean, you're

520
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right as far as interest, I mean, Anna

521
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Nobi does so many good things. The interest for him

522
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 1: is really really high. I mean, you mentioned New Orleans.

523
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: That's super canalizing, and we know New Orleans has so

524
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: many picks. I mean, if they want it, New Orleans

525
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: and Memphis are two teams that if they want to

526
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: get in on Anna Nobe, they could either one of

527
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: those teams could make a really compelling offer. And that's

528
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: where there's some boxing out going in on at what

529
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean by that. Let me explain the boxing out

530
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: because you brought up Memphis. Memphis does not want New

531
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: Orleans getting OG and New Orleans does not want Memphis

532
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: getting OG. That is a fact, and so you have

533
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: to and that's why you know when you talk about

534
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: um players being that that next that next step up

535
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: or we talked about with Jay Crowder. You know, there's

536
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: some teams that feel like he's going to take them

537
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: to that next step. They feel that way with og

538
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: as well. Um New Orleans feels that way, Memphis feels

539
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: that way. But again, those two are trying to box

540
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: each other out in pursuit of Gee. So that's that's

541
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: something to look forward to. Well, look, if they're both

542
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: chasing him, then then I agree with you. Then you

543
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, then then we are going to see. That

544
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: would be the surprise curveball that I'm clamoring for because

545
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: both of those teams have picks galore. We never talk

546
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: about Memphis because the Grizzlies, I gotta say, they do

547
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: a really good job of keeping their stuff quiet. I

548
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: mean I rarely hear what's percolating there. But I mean, look,

549
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: if if Memphis and or New Orleans makes a concerted

550
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: attempt to acquire Antonobi, that would be that would be

551
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: really good. So you get the final word, you close

552
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: it out. Who do you want to know about? For me?

553
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: So do we want to keep it Toronto or do

554
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: you think we weak? No? I think, man, I mean

555
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: we could, you know, because like I said, we could

556
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: do a whole thing on Van Vleet. But I think

557
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: we've talked about fred a lot, so A right, fine,

558
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: let's go with uh, let's go with HM. You know

559
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: I was going to say John Collins, but god, so

560
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: like we've been talking about John Collins for a decade already. Um,

561
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go Cam Reddish. I look, I have

562
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: not heard of a fresh deal for Cam, but he

563
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: has to be traded. He has to go somewhere in

564
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: the next week. The man has racked up twenty seven

565
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: consecutive DNP CDs from Tom Thibodeau twenty seven. I mean,

566
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: this can't be good for the Knicks reputationally to trade

567
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: a future first albeit protected and Kevin Knox for Cam

568
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: Reddish and then never play the guy. So I just

569
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: think something's gonna happen with Reddish. They're not even asking

570
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: for a lot. The initial word was they wanted two

571
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: second round picks. I think one second round pick and

572
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: an expiring contract gets this done. This Cam Reddish has

573
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: to happen. I know it would be far more exciting

574
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: to the masses if Anonobi or Fred gets moved in

575
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: the next week. But I mean, if we're asking about

576
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: a guy who has to be traded here, it's got

577
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: he's got to move. So two teams that I've heard

578
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: tied to cam Rettis and one team in particular. I

579
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: gotta get your opinion on sty But Cleveland is a

580
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: team that I was told that has a really good

581
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: shot at making this deal work and making it happen.

582
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: The other team, Dallas, what have you again your backyard?

583
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: So look on the MAVs. I can tell you the

584
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: MAVs have tried. You know, the MAVs have tried because again,

585
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: the price is only a second rounder. The problem the

586
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: MAVs have is they don't have that five six million

587
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: dollar expiring contract like the Lakers did with Kendrick Nunne

588
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: to make this deal easy. And initially I heard that

589
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: the Knicks wanted Reggie Bullock, who's a Tom Thibodeau favorite.

590
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: But I've since heard that the Reggie Bullock fandom in

591
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: the Knicks organization is not exactly unanimous and might be

592
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: more the coach that wants him than the front office

593
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: that wants him. So the Mavericks have not been able

594
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: to complete a reddish deal. And you know Cleveland, I mean,

595
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland needs a wing and we know that they've you know,

596
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: they've shown interest in Malik Beasley, who was one of

597
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: the important Utah names that I couldn't remember before when

598
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: I was had an old man moment, I was struggling

599
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: to think of all the jazz guys who were available,

600
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: and I only came up with three. I should have

601
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: said Beasley. I mean so so I think I would.

602
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: I would think the Calves would look first to see

603
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: if they could make that splashy wing edition. But I

604
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: mean I would take a flyer on Cam Reddish. The

605
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: young man is only twenty three. We've barely seen him. Yes,

606
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: it has not worked out in two places, but I

607
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: mean he's he's six eight young athletic can defend like I.

608
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: You know, when the prices is, when the price point

609
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: is where it is? Do it for sure? Now you're

610
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: right about that, And let me say we're gonna We're

611
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: gonna close it out right there, won't we start? Yeah?

612
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: Was that the plan? Okay? Well, I have to say,

613
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: you've carried me on this one. You've had gems galore.

614
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: You need to go enjoy your pizza, you need to recharge.

615
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta leave our listeners a one more thing.

616
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:20,280
Speaker 1: Go ahead, do it entertain the masses. So league sources

617
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: have informed me that will Barton up there in Washington's

618
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: open to a change of scenery. Um, he he is

619
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: somebody who he hasn't collected that made dnps like Cam

620
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: redsh But he is somebody who feels like it's time

621
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: to make a change. Um it hasn't worked out and

622
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: going back to his hometown of DC for some reason,

623
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: he just hasn't been able to stick in the rotation. Uh.

624
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: He feels like he's still the player he was, still

625
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: like he could be still be a prominent player in

626
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: a reserve role, in a complimentary role. But that's what

627
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: I was told, And I was told, you know, he

628
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: would like to play on a contending team, and so

629
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: you got look for teams like Milwaukee or Brooklyn for

630
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: that matter, to potentially, um jump into that, into that situation.

631
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: So I want to I just want to leave that.

632
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: I want to leave listeners with that. To close it out,

633
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: Stein was that, Okay, man, your shoulders must hurt because

634
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: you legit propped me up to this whole thing dropping

635
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: Jem after Jim I got brought. I got broad shoulders,

636
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 1: and you talk about shoulder Stein before before I leave Stein,

637
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: I remember when, um, when I first got the call

638
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: from TNT to do to do sidelines. And remember I've

639
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: never done sideline reporting before at all, and and so

640
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: I took it. I gave us some thought and I

641
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: took on the assignment. And my first ever game was

642
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: the Spurs Lakers in La Popovitch. And so I'm like,

643
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 1: damn God, light work, light work. So I'm like, I'm

644
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: like damn, but I you know, so I'm just nervous anyway.

645
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: It's just you know, it's my first time doing sidelines,

646
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: national TV, big time you know, pretty big time game

647
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: at the time. And so this is like what two

648
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: and a half three years ago. And I ended up

649
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: talking with Lebron before the game, and he, you know,

650
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: I arranged to have some time to speak with him

651
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: before the game so I can use doing the broadcast.

652
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: And so I'm talking with him and he's just like

653
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: noticing something about me, Like he's noticing, like something is

654
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: not right. He was like, bro, like, what's what's what's

655
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: wrong with you? Man? You're good. I'm like, yeah, I'm

656
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: just trying to you know, you know, this is different.

657
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a print journalist, you know, I do TV,

658
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: but doing sidelines is different. And he was like, look,

659
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: you built for this, he said, remember that you're built

660
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: for this. You got it, and uh you know that.

661
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: I appreciated that at that time, man, because that that

662
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: helped me, like, go on it. I had a really

663
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: good game. Pop gave me a great interview at the

664
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter. He was messing with me.

665
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: He gave he gave Johnny Luddon, who was my editor

666
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: at the time for y'all who Sports, gave him a

667
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: shout out during an interview. So he was just like

668
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: classic Pop. And I think I ended up getting Lebron

669
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: at the end of that game as well, so it

670
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: was all worked out. But Bron, man, he he came

671
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: through for me, gave me a nice, nice pep talks.

672
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: That's so amazing. That's so amazing that that getting one

673
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: on one time with Lebron is easier than than like,

674
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: you're more nervous about talking to Pop. Oh hell you

675
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: hit you but but but but I totally get it

676
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: because I'm lucky. The only sideline, the only sideline I

677
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: ever had to do with Pop was on radio ESPN radio,

678
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: so the world did not see my nervousness and suffering,

679
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: but believe me, it was. It was quite visible. I

680
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:08,200
