Speaker 1: of his.
Speaker 2: Infamous lines like.

Speaker 3: trade packages for Raptors wing Ojiannaobi. That's coming up in
Speaker 3: a little bit, and JD has an amazing tweet of
Speaker 3: the night, so stick around for that as well. But
Speaker 3: but but let's start with the games. We're gonna play
Speaker 3: what you got, But I want to just start with
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard going off as the Blazers beat the Grizzlies
Speaker 3: one two, one twelve. Uh, just sort of money there,
Speaker 3: hitting some clotch threes, great steal, late kick ahead to
Speaker 3: U Banks for the huge jail entertaining game here with
Speaker 3: the Blazers really needed this one. Grizzlies reeling a little bit.
Speaker 3: What'd you think of a dame specially his performance.
Speaker 5: Yeah, at the end of the fourth quarter, there one
Speaker 5: team executing the other one not Drew U. Banks able
Speaker 5: to get a fast break dunk like that.
Speaker 3: That was huge. Man, was the perfect Jordan dunk.
Speaker 4: And I guess you know I said it was on
Speaker 4: Jaron Jackson Junior. He just hustled into the play to
Speaker 4: pick up a foul for basically no reason. But still,
Speaker 4: that was cool to see that. The name is Drew Eubanks.
Speaker 5: We say that name more than any other show in
Speaker 5: the history of podcasting. I guarantee that that was It
Speaker 5: was a big dunk, big win for the Blazers. As
Speaker 5: you said, they hadn't won on the road since December seventeenth,
Speaker 5: that's a long time. That's six weeks.
Speaker 4: Six weeks.
Speaker 3: Did they see a shadow? It meant they were gonna
Speaker 3: win on the road for six weeks.
Speaker 5: They had a lot of home games in there, so
Speaker 5: it's a tiny bit of uh, you know, e skewed
Speaker 5: stat but they had some road games. They needed this one,
Speaker 5: and again Dame executed down the stretch. My worry is
Speaker 5: for these this Grizzlies team. I know a lot of
Speaker 5: people are worrying about or thinking about, are they a
Speaker 5: real contender here in the second seed in the Western Conference?
Speaker 5: And you see their end of game execution, and that's
Speaker 5: the worrisome part. It's a lot like last year. They
Speaker 5: don't have a great half court offense when it comes
Speaker 5: down to it, and that gets even more magnified in
Speaker 5: playoff basketball. They're twenty third in half court offense. That's
Speaker 5: freaking low. The teams that are below them are all
Speaker 5: non playoff teams. And so when it gets even tougher
Speaker 5: in the postseason, when teams are ready to buckle down,
Speaker 5: that's a problem obviously. And then you got to win
Speaker 5: all those other categories like fast break, points, points off, turnovers,
Speaker 5: more free throws, and they lost a couple of those
Speaker 5: in this game, but they were up five to ten
Speaker 5: points throughout the entire game, and then it just came
Speaker 5: down to execution at the end. And they're just a
Speaker 5: little too predictable. I think it's jaw, pick and roll.
Speaker 5: Just get in the lane and figure it out. They
Speaker 5: need somebody else to score more, and I think it's
Speaker 5: not gonna be Jered Jackson Junior. As much as you
Speaker 5: know we want to throw them on the All Star team,
Speaker 5: he's not a go get a bucket type guy. And
Speaker 5: I know we'll talk about them as the trade deadline approaches.
Speaker 5: To get somebody else, I think it's got to be
Speaker 5: Desmond Bane a little bit more. But I think also
Speaker 5: just they've got to get a little bit more creative
Speaker 5: and moving the ball a little bit more. Danny Green
Speaker 5: debuted out there, hit a shot, and I know they
Speaker 5: think that he can help a little bit, but I
Speaker 5: think it's more they're just too freaking predictable and that's
Speaker 5: the problem here, and if they're going to be a contender,
Speaker 5: they got to be better than that. That Literally, it's
Speaker 5: bad teams below them in half courts, Hettings and them.
Speaker 5: So that's all I want to point out. But yeah,
Speaker 5: the Blazer's obviously executing like crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Damian Lillard forty two points tennisist, eight boards, and
Speaker 3: he is on an unbelievable heater right now. And Dame
Speaker 3: does this every season, Like for the most part, there's
Speaker 3: a chunk of like call it three to six weeks
Speaker 3: where it's just like, holy crap, Damian Lillard another forty
Speaker 3: point game, a fifty point game, whatever, and he's in
Speaker 3: that stretch right now. But he was special those Some
Speaker 3: of those threes he made in this one were just like,
Speaker 3: there's a there's like a handful of guys that can
Speaker 3: hit those, and he's one of them.
Speaker 4: What you got skates, which is the better Dame time
Speaker 4: moment in this game, Lillard himself had a seven point
Speaker 4: possession in the third quarter, hit a three pointer, was
Speaker 4: called a flagrant foul, made the flagrant free throw, they
Speaker 4: get the possession back, made a three pointer on the
Speaker 4: same possession. You don't see that very often. Then he
Speaker 4: had back to back threes with about three minutes left
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, both of them gave the Blazers
Speaker 4: the lead at the time. And he also made a
Speaker 4: shot from like eighty feet out that didn't count barely
Speaker 4: just barely didn't count. So I don't know. All three
Speaker 4: of those moments to me are like very much tap
Speaker 4: on your wrist kind of moments from Dame Lillard last night.
Speaker 4: Also fifteen for sixteen free throws. That's big time. Went
Speaker 4: seventeen for seventeen against the Hawks in his last game out.
Speaker 4: In his last eleven games, he's taken ten or more
Speaker 4: free throws nine times. A lot of teams complain about
Speaker 4: the refs. You don't hear it much from the Blazers, though.
Speaker 5: That's a lot for a game.
Speaker 4: I'd say a lot of free throws for Dame Loward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's averaging basically thirty nine points per game and
Speaker 3: eight assists per game over that eleven game stretch where
Speaker 3: he's shooting fifty three from the field, forty point five
Speaker 3: percent from deep, and then ninety five percent at the
Speaker 3: free throw line.
Speaker 4: And they're sending in there all the time. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, the Grizzlies are a rough and
Speaker 4: tumble team inside, so he's earning the free throws and
Speaker 4: he's just putting his head down and saying, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: get the calls if I go in there, because I'm
Speaker 4: usually the highest named player on the court and it's
Speaker 4: working out. I also thought it was weird in this
Speaker 4: game that it felt like everybody was getting hurt all
Speaker 4: the time. Nurkic left early with calf's drain, Jeremy Grant
Speaker 4: had to lead the game. He's in concussion protocols at
Speaker 4: the end. Uh, this is a completely different game that
Speaker 4: I'm looking at nowt injuries that game. I'm like nas
Speaker 4: Reed was grabbing his hip late, Jalen McDaniels was crampy.
Speaker 3: Kyle and that.
Speaker 4: I don't know how these crossed over for me here.
Speaker 4: I think it was it was the Kyle Anderson that
Speaker 4: threw me off. Maybe it used to be a Grizzly
Speaker 4: but people were getting hurt last night.
Speaker 3: They absolutely are. Despite uh, despite John Morant saying not
Speaker 3: that long ago that no one in the West was
Speaker 3: a problem for Memphis, the Grizzlies are fifteen and sixteen
Speaker 3: against the Western Conference teams and seventeen and three the East,
Speaker 3: So it's the East that's not a problem. Maybe that's
Speaker 3: what he meant. He just misspoke. We get there, no
Speaker 3: one's a problem in the East because we're amazing against them,
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is not great. And got a lot
Speaker 3: of skilled games left against your Western Conference sponents, but
Speaker 3: a lot of them. Yeah, over twenty probably.
Speaker 4: And I will say specifically problem wise is three point
Speaker 4: shooting for the Grizzlers. Just look at the fourth quarter. Here,
Speaker 4: the Blazers hit five threes, the Grizzlies hit one, and
Speaker 4: then you look around the Western Conference. Nuggets are a
Speaker 4: great three point shooting team. The Warriors are the Warriors.
Speaker 4: The Kings are hot from three at basically all times.
Speaker 4: The Clippers can have a twenty three point game any
Speaker 4: single night. We just saw Lebron have his career high
Speaker 4: in three point shooting. They're going to run into teams
Speaker 4: that make a lot of threes, and then you got
Speaker 4: to be able to beat up the offensive glass. You
Speaker 4: got to go to the free throw line and make
Speaker 4: all your free throws to kind of counteract that sort
Speaker 4: of stuff. So that's who the Grizzlies need to be targeting.
Speaker 4: Is somebody who's just chucking threes. Maybe it is Malik Beasley,
Speaker 4: maybe it is Ojan Andobi as we'll see, but they
Speaker 4: need somebody else out there who shooting and make it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, midway through the fourth quarter, they're up, John Morant
Speaker 5: comes back into the game. It's a job versus Dame thing.
Speaker 5: A lot of injuries, the entire NBA was injured last night.
Speaker 4: They weren't believe nas Red went down. That was crazy.
Speaker 5: There were a lot of injuries, and uh, yeah, you're
Speaker 5: you're right about the three point shooting. That's that's a problem.
Speaker 5: This happened in that big game against the Warriors recently.
Speaker 5: They were up ten late in this in the fourth
Speaker 5: quarter and they gave it away because of end of
Speaker 5: game execution. And they need to find somebody else. It's
Speaker 5: just a little too predictable, as I said. And yeah,
Speaker 5: the three point shooting on top of that is a problem.
Speaker 5: Desmond Bane might have to fire. Twenty three is a game.
Speaker 5: It's it is a lacking and that's why the Danny
Speaker 5: Green thing is a positive for them. They may turn
Speaker 5: him into another asset, into a three point shooter. They
Speaker 5: also didn't have Steven Adams in this game, if we
Speaker 5: want to talk about injuries, which was a bit of
Speaker 5: a problem. But yeah that the Grizzlies are, yeah, reeling
Speaker 5: seven and eight. Since John Moran actually said that when
Speaker 5: he said, who are you worried about? Milik Andrews asked him,
Speaker 5: and he's the Celtics. Anybody in the East, No seven
Speaker 5: and eight Since then, so, uh, they are second in
Speaker 5: the in the West, it's a good problem to have.
Speaker 5: But yeah, the three point shooting is something that it's
Speaker 5: it's it's trade deadline season, baby, it's exciting times here.
Speaker 3: So we from today. All right, let's get to a
Speaker 3: little what you got, what you get?
Speaker 4: What's your good?
Speaker 3: That says, this is what's your good? Sort of like
Speaker 3: Sam Crenshaw Special the Canadian viewers and listeners.
Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead, you want to. I'm not gonna I
Speaker 5: wasn't gonna give.
Speaker 3: My freeze like Jeff Jeff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's yeah. I was gonna ask who I.
Speaker 4: Was even with you on Sam Crenshaw.
Speaker 3: Ye ye, the mannequin Man to life had to do
Speaker 3: with the half all right, once you got first one here, okay,
Speaker 3: we had him beat and hardened. They both had double
Speaker 3: double lifted the Sixers past the Magic little revenge there
Speaker 3: one of five ninety four because they had just lost
Speaker 3: to Orlando. We had Sabonis and darreon Fox, both big,
Speaker 3: big games. They helped the Kings power past the Spurs
Speaker 3: one nineteen one o nine. There are a few injuries
Speaker 3: in that game.
Speaker 2: That one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he went down, he came, don't worry.
Speaker 3: And D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards were great as the
Speaker 3: Wolves got a really quality win against the Warriors. That
Speaker 3: one went to overtime. They pulled it off in the end,
Speaker 3: but the Q off all of that. You know, I
Speaker 3: slipped in a Harden, I slipped in a Fox, I
Speaker 3: slipped in Edwards. There in those headlines who is most
Speaker 3: likely gonna be a twenty twenty three NBA All Star
Speaker 3: Reserve tonight when we find out on TNT Harden, Fox
Speaker 3: or Edwards? What you got, who you got, why you
Speaker 3: got it?
Speaker 5: I got you? I got James Harden. I know that
Speaker 5: Chad has been about oh darreon Fox and Anthony Edwards,
Speaker 5: but Harden plays at a far easy your position to
Speaker 5: get in in the Eastern Conference, the guards, he might
Speaker 5: just tick him. If you're a coach, well, in the West,
Speaker 5: there's just so many guards, and I know you can
Speaker 5: manipulate the reserves to what you want, but you know
Speaker 5: you might get Fox get losing some votes to Sabonis.
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards, as much as we've been talking about him,
Speaker 5: is on a team that's lower in the standings. Harden
Speaker 5: is up there. You might get the coaches just say,
Speaker 5: oh old James. The guy. We know, he's just steady.
Speaker 5: He's got the name recognition. Coaches like that. Yeah, the
Speaker 5: expectations are a little bit lower for James Harden this
Speaker 5: year when he's clearly the number two taking that pay cut.
Speaker 5: So he's kind of meeting those while it's just it's
Speaker 5: just tough in the West. This is a tough queue.
Speaker 5: But you think, but the surprise, the surprise tonight for
Speaker 5: some could be James Harden.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, where are you going with this one? Most
Speaker 3: likely to be announced tonight? Harden, Fox or Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 4: Hardens a lock. I don't even think it's really a
Speaker 4: questions at this point. Yeah, he's showing up in all
Speaker 4: kinds of play. Hey, you know media sort of lists
Speaker 4: as a player to be tabbed. He hear it on
Speaker 4: Zach Low's podcast. That guy's pretty influential. I think Harden's
Speaker 4: a handful of games from qualifying from all these leader boards.
Speaker 4: Like if he plays in the next four games, I
Speaker 4: think he's then at seventy percent of the games, which
Speaker 4: gets you on all the leader boards, which then he'll
Speaker 4: be leading the league in assists. He's put on twenty
Speaker 4: two points a game, eleven assists, shooting forty five, forty
Speaker 4: and eighty six. That's really good. The Sixers have been
Speaker 4: the best team in the Eastern Conference for a month,
Speaker 4: and he's going to be competing against guys who have
Speaker 4: outside stats on kind of middling teams a Trey Young,
Speaker 4: a DeRozan, a Siakam. Sixers are winning and it's a
Speaker 4: large part because Harden is setting up Embiid so nicely.
Speaker 4: I think maybe it'll also be a nice bone throw,
Speaker 4: you know, for Joel Embiid having an MVP season coming
Speaker 4: off the bench in the All Star Game again, but
Speaker 4: what if you have two Sixers. So I definitely think
Speaker 4: Harden is getting in the game. And I actually think
Speaker 4: whoever doesn't make it between Fox and Edwards gonna be
Speaker 4: the biggest snub because both of these guys are deserving. Yes, certainly,
Speaker 4: they're both making a case every single night. It feels
Speaker 4: like that they go out there and play. It's just
Speaker 4: kind of the timing of their seasons is a little
Speaker 4: bit different. Like Edwards had a slow start Timberwolves took
Speaker 4: a little bit to get figured out, but he's peeking
Speaker 4: at the right time. Fox, on the other hand, brilliant start,
Speaker 4: lost his jumper in December, but now it's he's balling again.
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I had Fox when we did
Speaker 4: our picks, but it's hard to be mad at somebody
Speaker 4: picking Edwards, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you're right that of those
Speaker 3: two Western Conference cards, Fox and Edwards, one of them
Speaker 3: will not be selected tonight, and that will be probably
Speaker 3: the leading snub on tomorrow's Drop podcast. But we'll wait
Speaker 3: and find out. But great great games from all three
Speaker 3: of those in their teams getting victories. Any thoughts on
Speaker 3: maybe that Wolves Warriors game down the stretch. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you caught that one and into overtime. I
Speaker 3: thought the Warriors played sloppy. They looked like are you know?
Speaker 3: I have practice tonight with our our seven year old team,
Speaker 3: and the number one thing I swear that we're always
Speaker 3: trying to work on is like catch the ball, hold
Speaker 3: on to the ball, like what it's I mean, it's
Speaker 3: really the the simplest part here of basketball. Then we'll
Speaker 3: talk about shooting and dribbling and playing defense. But it's
Speaker 3: like the Warriors, like three or four times Wiggins just
Speaker 3: completely botched the dunk that he just like just slipped
Speaker 3: out of his hands. Curry had one too. It's like
Speaker 3: the hell was going on with them last night. But
Speaker 3: the but the Warrior, excuse me, the Wolves Russell again
Speaker 3: awesome in the fourth, then he fouls out on some
Speaker 3: pretty questionable calls. Ant stepped up though. He would attacked
Speaker 3: Wiggins there in overtime, even when they got switched like
Speaker 3: the best defender on him. He didn't care. I was like,
Speaker 3: I'll take him and put him in the back in
Speaker 3: the bucket, and then Nas reed he was getting a
Speaker 3: little too shot happy. Oh yeah, he was turning into Carlin.
Speaker 3: Then he towns there a little much. He was open,
Speaker 3: I think by designs and he was sort of breaking
Speaker 3: three after three after three did hit one that was
Speaker 3: pretty pretty important. But yeah, you know, played hard still.
Speaker 3: Then he got that rebound off the corner miss and
Speaker 3: threw it down and that was sort of the nail
Speaker 3: in the coffin good Win. But I thought the Warriors
Speaker 3: played so, I thought they played the crap.
Speaker 4: There's turnovers in the fourth corner, three more in overtime.
Speaker 4: That is the Warriors at the worst, just sloppy, ridiculous turnovers,
Speaker 4: like you know, not wanting to bring up the ball
Speaker 4: up the court, so he throws it to Wiggans, who's like,
Speaker 4: oh stuff, he's bringing the ball at the court. Ridiculous
Speaker 4: turnovers and that's how the Warriors get beat. They get
Speaker 4: a little bit too sloppy and don't make enough shots.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Nazried, it was hilarious because he was hitting
Speaker 4: big shots and then I'm with you. I was like,
Speaker 4: he's gonna shoot him out of.
Speaker 3: The game, I know, and it wasn't going to Edwards.
Speaker 4: At all, no, just standing in the corner. Edwards disappeared
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter a little bit over two no points,
Speaker 4: but it was Dangela Russell thankfully was cooking fourteen points,
Speaker 4: four threes, mostly tough ones, but it was hilarious. Reid
Speaker 4: hit a bunch of big shots, went down with the injury.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is kind of perfect right now
Speaker 4: because he was just taking him out of it and
Speaker 4: he came back at the perfect time. The dagger dunk
Speaker 4: was big time from Nasried, So I thought he was great.
Speaker 4: D'angela Russell obviously, and then Kyle Anderson as well. I
Speaker 4: thought that was just a really nice win for the
Speaker 4: Minnesota Timberwolves in their game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were down eleven going into the fourth and
Speaker 5: then the Warriors just gave this game away. That was
Speaker 5: a big part of it. Although the Wolves were second
Speaker 5: in the defense, second in defense in January, which is surprising,
Speaker 5: that's a great mark for them. That's why they're climbing
Speaker 5: the standings, which are still ridiculously tight. There's gonna be
Speaker 5: a lot of disappointed teams at the end, just like
Speaker 5: there'll be some disappointed All Stars tonight. And just just
Speaker 5: to add one more thought about James Harden and the
Speaker 5: games played thing. Coaches tonight are not going to care
Speaker 5: about how many games played. We sit here and throw
Speaker 5: a line in the sand here, and I do think
Speaker 5: him projected to play fifty six games of eighty two.
Speaker 5: When you look at it like that, that's a low number.
Speaker 5: It's not a lot of games played at the end
Speaker 5: of the season. So for us, yeah, that's to me,
Speaker 5: that's the breaker that he just hasn't played enough. But
Speaker 5: coaches are gonna say, I don't care, I don't know,
Speaker 5: they don't look at that well.
Speaker 3: And I believe that then we're gonna see Harden on
Speaker 3: the team. We're gonna see a D on the team.
Speaker 3: We're gonna see Kawhi on the team, like, yeah, they're
Speaker 3: not different. I mean they've all played the same amount
Speaker 3: of games. Yeah, pretty close.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I don't think you're right, there's I think
Speaker 5: there is a difference though, just conceptually, just the way
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis missed so many games for a long stretch.
Speaker 5: I don't know, and maybe because he's got that reputation
Speaker 5: while Harden doesn't have that reputation. Harden plays all the time.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't know. You gotta draw a line
Speaker 5: in the sand. I think coaches are going to say,
Speaker 5: as Trey said, but they're so high in the standings
Speaker 5: too that well it helps the Bucks don't have a
Speaker 5: lock of a second pick as well. You know that,
Speaker 5: those those top teams. Anyways, it's gonna be fun. It's
Speaker 5: gonna be fun.
Speaker 3: Wait, can't wait? All right? Moving on here we had.
Speaker 5: Shall we see? Shall we see coaches? Like a live
Speaker 5: room of coaches making their picks. We get to see
Speaker 5: the live draft. I want to see coaches talk it out.
Speaker 5: I want to see Doc Rivers. He'll never do this, obviously,
Speaker 5: but talk out. I'm voting for Chris Bosh. Oh he's not.
Speaker 5: He's not in the league anymore. Just like pick a guy.
Speaker 5: I just want to see it.
Speaker 3: Well I saw I think was it? Billups I was
Speaker 3: reading this morning, said, uh, other coaches had been, you know,
Speaker 3: calling him one of the coaches where Yeah, other coaches
Speaker 3: call each other and be like, hey, you got to
Speaker 3: take my guy. Man, I'll give you a cigar mare.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: Tatum scored thirty one. Celtics whoa hot early in this game,
Speaker 3: destroyed the Nets one nine ninety six. That's what I
Speaker 3: wrote down. I believe that's correct.
Speaker 4: That sad on this one.
Speaker 3: Holy moly, I mean it was over. It was over
Speaker 3: five minutes if you were watching it. This was a
Speaker 3: nationally televised game. Whoops. And then we had de Jonta Murray.
Speaker 3: He scored twenty one and the Hawks rolled past the
Speaker 3: Suns one thirty two to one hundred. So Trey, you
Speaker 3: gotta start it.
Speaker 4: Here was the.
Speaker 3: Wilder blowout, Celtics crushing the Nets or the Hawks crushing
Speaker 3: the Suns in Phoenix.
Speaker 4: I gotta go at the Celtics. They were up forty
Speaker 4: six to sixteen after the first quarter. They lied by
Speaker 4: forty nine at one point. Like once you start seeing
Speaker 4: the scoreboard pictures screenshots going around on Twitter. You're like, uhh,
Speaker 4: this is not gonna be good. It just lets you know,
Speaker 4: don't tune in right now because you want to see
Speaker 4: some three pointers. But this is the kind of Celtic
Speaker 4: win that we haven't seen for a while. Celtics had
Speaker 4: the second most games this season with twenty or more
Speaker 4: three pointers, behind only the Warriors. It's their ninth time
Speaker 4: this season making twenty your more threes, but only the
Speaker 4: third time since November. Celtics take a ton of threes.
Speaker 4: They got up fifty four I think last night, and
Speaker 4: they can get really, really hot. It's the second most
Speaker 4: three pointers in a game this season by any team,
Speaker 4: number one team. It was the Celtics. You guessed it
Speaker 4: twenty seven against the Knicks earlier. So if you're a
Speaker 4: team from New York, they are gonna hit you with
Speaker 4: some three pointers. And when you make twenty six threes,
Speaker 4: I have to imagine that teams are like ninety nine
Speaker 4: percent winning percentage. There's gotta be one out there that like,
Speaker 4: somebody hit twenty threes and the other team hit twenty
Speaker 4: two and they took the loss there, But uh yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean a forty nine point margin that's that's wild,
Speaker 4: that's serious. That's a big time one. So give me
Speaker 4: the Celtics.
Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, you had a great case.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would go the Hawks just because the Celtics
Speaker 5: were the best offense in the history of the NBA
Speaker 5: for a while or whatever that's stat is. They obviously
Speaker 5: dropped off since you know, they were hitting those threes,
Speaker 5: as you said, the October and November, they have slowed down.
Speaker 5: But they can hit a bunch of threes. They are
Speaker 5: a great offense. You do see them blowout teams like
Speaker 5: this the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Tatum and Jellen Brown sorry, both hitting seven
Speaker 3: threes and a lot of them early in this game.
Speaker 3: They couldn't miss.
Speaker 5: Oh, it was great to not have to tune into
Speaker 5: that game. To be totally honest, it was a spanker. Well.
Speaker 5: The other one the Hawks in their Flaming Reds, their
Speaker 5: Calgary Flames Reds on the road. To have that forty
Speaker 5: points second quarter was surprising to me. The fifteen ozer
Speaker 5: run to start the second quarter, and yeah, absolutely ran out.
Speaker 5: The ran the Suns out of the building, a team
Speaker 5: that's pretty good defensively, so a little bit more surprising
Speaker 5: there that the Hawks put it together that their bench
Speaker 5: was kicking, but a guy like Jalen Johnson stroking a
Speaker 5: three more surprising for him to be hitting threes than
Speaker 5: the Celtics to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both of those were over pretty early. Final one
Speaker 3: here Jazz beat the Raptors. Walker Kessler the rook seventeen fourteen,
Speaker 3: seven blocks. Meanwhile, we had the Rockets defeating the thunder
Speaker 3: bit of a surprise victory. Tarry Eason, their rook twenty
Speaker 3: and thirteen in nineteen minutes, filled up the box score.
Speaker 3: He had some defensive stats as well. So I don't
Speaker 3: usually do this in what you Got, but the better
Speaker 3: rookie performance. Listen to these two names, Walker Kessler or
Speaker 3: Tarry Eason. What you got?
Speaker 5: A good one here? Sorry Easton. While back I said
Speaker 5: he was a young Jonathan Isaac, Jonathan Isaac pre injury young,
Speaker 5: A young young Jonathan Isaac. Is that a compliment? I
Speaker 5: don't know. Jonathan Isaac was good before he got injured.
Speaker 5: But he feels like a guy that could scrap and fight,
Speaker 5: and he was doing that against an undersized Okac team. Okay,
Speaker 5: see plays real small. All their Williams's, they're giddies that
Speaker 5: they started, you know, six eight sixty nine, so he
Speaker 5: got five rebounds, one possession, so the five of thirteen there,
Speaker 5: he just kept tipping it to himself.
Speaker 3: He had twelve offensive rebounds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thirteen boards, twelve offensive that's amazing.
Speaker 5: Actually, Yeah, so three steals, two blocks though in great
Speaker 5: Yeah in nineteen minutes. I gotta go with him because
Speaker 5: Walker he's been steady this season.
Speaker 3: Oh and he was amazing in this Raptors game, Like
Speaker 3: there were they were terrified of him, Like he had
Speaker 3: seven blocks. He deterred, I want to say another ten
Speaker 3: or like we was in the heads of the Raptors
Speaker 3: players inside a little bit more. The Raptors lost a
Speaker 3: game where they had like twenty five more shots than
Speaker 3: the Jazz and still lose.
Speaker 5: So he did it all in the first cord. He
Speaker 5: had six blocks in.
Speaker 3: He sets the tones. He set the tone. I mean
Speaker 3: I might go Walker Kessel because I saw and heard
Speaker 3: like multiple things about the Raptors could have had Walker
Speaker 3: kel Yeah yeah, like ooh man, maybe could have drafted him.
Speaker 3: But yeah, both were great performances.
Speaker 4: Where you going for the Rooks, I'd be twelve offense rebounds,
Speaker 4: Like Tass said, he had a beef slider. If you're
Speaker 4: getting a quarter of a beef on one possession, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: But does that count as a revenge game for Walker Kessler?
Speaker 4: He could have been a wrapped but it took like
Speaker 4: several things would have had to have been different, right,
Speaker 4: because it was the Rafts traded a first rounder for
Speaker 4: Thadeus Young at the deadline, but then the Spurs used
Speaker 4: the pick they traded to take Malachi Branham. But then
Speaker 4: I guess, like Kessler when a couple of picks later,
Speaker 4: it wasn't even the pick they had, But you know,
Speaker 4: I guess theoretically he could have. I don't know sure
Speaker 4: that's that's like a sideways revenge. I don't know exactly
Speaker 4: what it is, but it comes down to seven blocks
Speaker 4: or twelve offensive rebounds, both pretty weird to see on
Speaker 4: a stat sheet.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, the raption stink. So they have to shoot
Speaker 5: in the lane a lot because they can't shoot. So
Speaker 5: that's why Walker Kessler was just coming helping over. They
Speaker 5: were the help variety too. It wasn't just like one
Speaker 5: on one, It's just like coming over and helping. They're
Speaker 5: ap stink, So I wasn't that surprise I guess is
Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Raptors were on fire from three point distance last night,
Speaker 3: ten to twenty three. That's lights out for them. But
Speaker 3: the Jazz a lot Jazz took way more attempts forty
Speaker 3: seven hit seventeen, and again it is weird to see
Speaker 3: a game where the team had twenty seven more field
Speaker 3: goal attempts. Raptors had one hundred and ten field goal
Speaker 3: attempts and they lost because the Jazz, you know, shot
Speaker 3: out a much better efficiency and put up one hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty one on their head too. Let's not gloss
Speaker 3: over that they were getting whatever they wanted. Raptors are
Speaker 3: down bad right now, guys, and we're going to talk
Speaker 3: about them and a bunch of Oganobe trades that I'm
Speaker 3: gonna throw at you guys, and will debate which team
Speaker 3: maybe has the best package, most enticing package that the
Speaker 3: Raptors would consider. We'll be right back. Don't go anywhere
Speaker 3: all right here in the Classic Factory. Hit the like button.
Speaker 3: If you're joining us live on YouTube, make sure you subscribe.
Speaker 3: The NBA trade deadline a week away, and as of
Speaker 3: right now, it does feel like Ognnobi is one of
Speaker 3: the biggest names on this trade block. It makes sense
Speaker 3: because of his player role, his player type. It's pretty
Speaker 3: coveted in this league, that sort of three and D guy,
Speaker 3: elite defensively. That when you think about it, and I
Speaker 3: heard Michael Grange say this on the Raptor Show, try
Speaker 3: and think of a team where like, if you made
Speaker 3: a move for Ognnoby, he wouldn't fit in your starting lineup.
Speaker 3: It's really tough to go through like and find teams
Speaker 3: where you're like, nah, he wouldn't be starting. There's usually
Speaker 3: a slot for a guy like him. So this is
Speaker 3: why he's probably coming up in numerous trade rumors along
Speaker 3: with the Raptors falling.
Speaker 5: Apart here plug and play.
Speaker 3: That's right. In forty five games this season, just to
Speaker 3: let you know about Og, he's averaging seventeen points per game,
Speaker 3: five and a half rebounds, two assists, two point one steals,
Speaker 3: just under a block per game, so he's he's at
Speaker 3: or near the league leaders and steals in deflections and
Speaker 3: loose balls recovered. That's his thing, that's his mo. He's
Speaker 3: shooting right around forty six percent from the floor and
Speaker 3: thirty seven percent from three. Those are both right in
Speaker 3: line with his career averages, so nothing crazy. But what
Speaker 3: makes them really enticing is his salary. His contract. He
Speaker 3: has two years thirty six million dollars remaining, plus a
Speaker 3: player option in twenty four to twenty five for nineteen
Speaker 3: point ninety three million, so just under twenty which makes
Speaker 3: them like a lot easier than your superstar level players
Speaker 3: to put in trades because it's just a more movable contract.
Speaker 3: But for the Raptors to give them up, by all accounts,
Speaker 3: they're going to want some young rotation players and maybe
Speaker 3: a lot of draft picks. Remember in December, our guy,
Speaker 3: professor Zach Lowe, he said the price for og could
Speaker 3: be on par is what the Cavs gave up for
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell, and we laughed at that, what as too much?
Speaker 3: But NBA insider Mark Stein he did add it would
Speaker 3: take lots to pry oj Anobi away from the Raptors.
Speaker 3: Could be some posturing here from the Raps. Maybe they
Speaker 3: don't even move them, for crying out loud, but we
Speaker 3: have an idea of what they want. They obviously want
Speaker 3: young players. They probably want probably minimum two picks first
Speaker 3: round picks, you know, be it sort of twenty three
Speaker 3: first round picks or future first round picks, or maybe
Speaker 3: even three. Anyway, I've got five teams, boys, five teams
Speaker 3: that should take a long hard look at trying to
Speaker 3: acquire ogn Anobi over the next week. Here a lot
Speaker 3: of these trades. The inspiration they come from Sporting News,
Speaker 3: from the Athletics, their Creed who does a great job
Speaker 3: covering the Raptors, and from our guy sports Nets Blake Murphy,
Speaker 3: who told me he has a big og Anaobi trade
Speaker 3: piece coming out soon.
Speaker 5: He's got a big spreak Internet. He broke down every team,
Speaker 5: every pick, they have, their salary. Get into its true
Speaker 5: sick o shit right there.
Speaker 3: For Blake Murphy, it's great, It's great. Okay, So I
Speaker 3: thought again, five teams. I have a usually like two
Speaker 3: to four trade versions for a potential move to get
Speaker 3: for each team, So.
Speaker 5: I better have a spreadsheet for that.
Speaker 3: Dude, I did some work on this, all right, So,
Speaker 3: and shout out to our guy Jerome helping with the graphics. Here,
Speaker 3: let's start with the Knicks. We'll start in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 3: We'll move to the West, but we'll start with the Knicks.
Speaker 3: They're rumored to be interested. I mean, he sure feels
Speaker 3: like a Tips type of player. I'll tell you that
Speaker 3: obviously with the defense he gives you. So two hypothetical
Speaker 3: Knicks Raptors trades. First one, obviously the Knicks get og,
Speaker 3: the Raptors would receive it's not pretty Derek Rose Cam Reddish.
Speaker 3: And then three first round picks. Now they have like
Speaker 3: their own pick in twenty three they got the Mavericks,
Speaker 3: so it could be the better one of those future
Speaker 3: first round picks. This is pick heavy. This is not
Speaker 3: great players coming back unless you really believe in cam Reddish,
Speaker 3: like our buddy Grish. But the second version of this
Speaker 3: would be the Knicks getting og and let's say kem
Speaker 3: Birch to make the money work. Four maybe enticing younger
Speaker 3: player and Obi toppin Evan fourniad because of the contract,
Speaker 3: and let's bump it down a first round pick. We'll
Speaker 3: go with two thoughts on the Knicks. I mean, you like,
Speaker 3: you can like rip apart my hypothetical trades. You can
Speaker 3: just talk about the team in theory trying to acquire og.
Speaker 3: If you like the fit, hate the fit, what do
Speaker 3: you think Knicks raps something along these lines. TK Getta started.
Speaker 4: He's from the six, give me the picks from the Knicks.
Speaker 3: Well done.
Speaker 4: So honestly, if you're getting three first round picks, even
Speaker 4: depending on what the protections are, you could probably draft
Speaker 4: yourself an Obi top and like player because that's the
Speaker 4: best guy coming back. I don't think the Raptors are
Speaker 4: going to want to take on the additional salary that
Speaker 4: fourtyer brings along with him. Rose and Reddish are non entities.
Speaker 4: You know, that's a that's a money matching kind of move.
Speaker 4: But I think I would prefer getting the picks because Toppin,
Speaker 4: while a good player who would probably be okay on
Speaker 4: the Raptors as a big guy, I don't think he's
Speaker 4: such a good prospect that you would choose him over
Speaker 4: the potential of any of the other prospects out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're talking about three picks for og Annobi. I mean,
Speaker 5: it feels like we're a little high right now. It
Speaker 5: feels like we're a little drugged up. But I will
Speaker 5: say he is obviously every GM's wet tree. When you're
Speaker 5: looking at the players that they talk about every single
Speaker 5: draft season, it's this, It's long. An incredible defender can
Speaker 5: fit with every sort of team, So in a seller's market.
Speaker 5: This is definitely ripe for Massiu Jiri to get something big.
Speaker 5: That's totally true because there's so many teams in the
Speaker 5: play in tournament picture and the playoff picture. They're going
Speaker 5: for it. So if you have one of these guys,
Speaker 5: it makes sense for Massia. I will say three picks amazing,
Speaker 5: this is that's the better package from the Knicks, for sure.
Speaker 5: But I'm unlikely to deal with the Knicks because I
Speaker 5: don't think those picks are what you're looking for if
Speaker 5: you're in the six. I think there are better picks
Speaker 5: out there. Because this is the New York Knicks we're
Speaker 5: talking about. Doesn't matter. There's a lot of their py're.
Speaker 3: Having a good year this year, but at two decades
Speaker 3: are usually gurbage.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but a lot of their picks are from other teams,
Speaker 5: so we don't know what we're talking about specifically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't want to get bogged down with these boards, like, Okay,
Speaker 3: it's the Mavericks pick, but then it's a twenty five,
Speaker 3: and then it's twenty seven, and then you know, I
Speaker 3: because like I think you can get a little lost
Speaker 3: in the weed with that stuff.
Speaker 5: But you gotta be picky here. If you're a Missilea's year,
Speaker 5: you gotta be picky with the picks, and I think
Speaker 5: you can be. I think when we look at other teams,
Speaker 5: even though historically they are the Knicks, they got a
Speaker 5: rock in Jalen Brunson, they're not gonna be bad right now. No,
Speaker 5: they're not gonna be bad. There are other teams which
Speaker 5: potentially I think could be worse, that are at the
Speaker 5: sort of the end of their windows. So I love
Speaker 5: the three picks. I think that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 5: But I think you can get a little bit better
Speaker 5: here in the seller's market.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with the Knicks, Raptors and a potential
Speaker 3: og the ones I just gave you there, I actually
Speaker 3: don't like it from either side all that much. I
Speaker 3: think the Raptors are gonna hope to get a better
Speaker 3: player in addition to picks that they could use in
Speaker 3: the rotation in any of these deals. So there's that.
Speaker 3: And also I am wary of the Knicks, like having
Speaker 3: all these picks doing a good job of, you know,
Speaker 3: keeping their their cupboards full. Are they really gonna trade
Speaker 3: three of them for Ogi? Like he's a good player,
Speaker 3: But like the Knicks. The whole time, we're always like, oh,
Speaker 3: they're holding on to this. They're gonna go for the superstar,
Speaker 3: and you're gonna need a lot of picks to get that,
Speaker 3: as we've seen with Rudy's and Donovan and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: But they have a lot of them. If if it
Speaker 5: ends up being two first round picks this season, even
Speaker 5: they still have so many more just from this season,
Speaker 5: because they've got the Hornets, they've got the MAVs, they've
Speaker 5: got the Nuggets, they've got the Pistons in a scenario,
Speaker 5: they've got a lot of picks.
Speaker 3: But I think Messi and Bobby and the Raptors like
Speaker 3: when we do these picks, like you're going to want
Speaker 3: them over years, because like even the Knixt pick, it's
Speaker 3: not gonna be like good this year, you know, but
Speaker 3: the Knicks three years from now, after James Dolan's like
Speaker 3: suddenly decides, well, I want to start calling the shots
Speaker 3: again and doing everything like they could be bad. And
Speaker 3: then it's like, oh my god.
Speaker 5: Here's right. I know, it does feel like we're high
Speaker 5: here with three picks coming for og Annobe, but yeah,
Speaker 5: you're looking for a Paul Pierce type of swindle here,
Speaker 5: like Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett swindling the Nets Celtics. So yeah,
Speaker 5: you're looking long term, but I think maybe I'm just
Speaker 5: you know, I'm a little too high on the Knicks.
Speaker 5: But other teams I think will give you them.
Speaker 3: Okay, another Eastern Conference team. Then let's get Og home
Speaker 3: to Indiana. All right, how about the Pacers. Okay, so
Speaker 3: the Pacers receive Ognaoby, I got two trades for you here.
Speaker 3: The first one, Raps get TJ. McConnell, Daniel Tice, and
Speaker 3: then three first round picks. Okay, so we'll stick with
Speaker 3: the three. In the second version of this Pacers Raptors trade,
Speaker 3: we get rid of a lot of picks and we
Speaker 3: actually just get more maybe help for the Raps in
Speaker 3: terms of shooting. Og and Thadius Young going to the
Speaker 3: Pacers in exchange for Buddy Heeled, TJ. McConnell and a
Speaker 3: twenty three first round pick. So just one pick.
Speaker 5: So when you're when you were talking about you wanted
Speaker 5: better players and picks, was this what you were talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're gonna get to some other ones too,
Speaker 3: but yeah, like you're not going to get it all right,
Speaker 3: you're not getting three first round picks, and then maybe
Speaker 3: guys that are you're actually playing, and the Raptors have
Speaker 3: no bench so they need players. There's gonna be a balance.
Speaker 3: I also don't think o g if he's traded in
Speaker 3: the next week, I don't think he's going to get
Speaker 3: three first round picks. I think it'll be settled on
Speaker 3: two and then there will be a second round pick.
Speaker 3: It could be like an early second I think that's
Speaker 3: where it will go. It happens.
Speaker 5: But for the sake of argument, yeah, it's fun here
Speaker 5: seven days out dream big ye, sure, yeah, it'll be different.
Speaker 3: What do you think of the pacers? Though? It's better
Speaker 3: a move.
Speaker 5: You get a point guard and a center. The Raptors
Speaker 5: need both plus three round three first round Yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 5: I know it's Daniel Tys, but it fills holes. They
Speaker 5: don't want to tank. The Raps don't want to tank.
Speaker 5: There's no doubt.
Speaker 3: They're doing a pretty good job of tanking though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, right now, yeah, I think, yeah, this
Speaker 5: could be just a perfect scenario here where they are
Speaker 5: getting bad here on this West coast trip. They keep losing.
Speaker 5: It's a good time to lose. It's a seller's market.
Speaker 5: You want to be one of those teams selling both
Speaker 5: of these. I think I think they're a little bit
Speaker 5: they're better than the Knicks packages.
Speaker 3: From the Raptors side of things, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't care about any other team. I care
Speaker 5: about the What.
Speaker 3: About what about Indiana's like side of this? Like, you know,
Speaker 3: they're not a free agent hotbed, right, you know, I
Speaker 3: don't think a lot of people are going to sign
Speaker 3: in Indiana, So getting a player of Og under contract
Speaker 3: for a couple of years to fit with their younger
Speaker 3: players in Halliburton and Mathrin even, Like, does this make
Speaker 3: sense to you a little bit?
Speaker 5: Here?
Speaker 4: I can see Og on the Pacers certainly, because you
Speaker 4: know they've got in Halliburton and Mathurin, they've got a
Speaker 4: good offensive back court. They need somebody who's gonna be
Speaker 4: able to stick perimeter guys defensively, so Og definitely helps there.
Speaker 4: I also like the idea of Fatteus Young going back
Speaker 4: to Indianapolis as well. That'd be exciting. I assume he
Speaker 4: was there actually longer than Og was. I know Og
Speaker 4: only played one season of high school or college basketball
Speaker 4: for the Hoosiers there, So yeah, I mean, they would
Speaker 4: much rather give up one first round pick, I think,
Speaker 4: than three first round picks. But the thing with the
Speaker 4: Pacers is you talk about a team that never wants
Speaker 4: to tank, that's them. They've had like one season in
Speaker 4: the lottery recently. The pick right now would be number eight,
Speaker 4: but maybe that goes back up, or maybe that climbs
Speaker 4: back to be a higher pick. If og joins the
Speaker 4: team and Halliburton comes back, they'd be looking a lot
Speaker 4: better and maybe still stay competitive in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 4: I could definitely see them doing it, though. TJ. McConnell
Speaker 4: kind of feels like a main stay there right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 4: He's a culture guy for sure.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 3: And then there's the whole Buddy Heeld situation and what
Speaker 3: they would get back. All right, we'll keep it moving here,
Speaker 3: keep some pace. Let's go to the West. I pissed
Speaker 3: people off a couple of weeks ago when I was
Speaker 3: trying to get Desmond Bane from the Grizzlies. Just chucked
Speaker 3: it out there. See what happened, Memphis Grizzly fans, I
Speaker 3: got very upset with me. That's fine, But I got
Speaker 3: some other Grizzlies trades. I don't really really love them,
Speaker 3: and I don't think they're all that realistic, but I
Speaker 3: like the idea of Og on the Grizzlies. Again, he
Speaker 3: fits there, So the Grizzlies get Og first one here,
Speaker 3: Danny Green in that contract Tias Jones because the Raptors
Speaker 3: desperately needs a point guard play though as Blake Burpy
Speaker 3: DMed me too small for Nick Nurse. Nick Nurse does
Speaker 3: not like his tiny guys. And Zion Williams there sort
Speaker 3: of as a flyer, and then two first round picks.
Speaker 3: The second Grizzly Raptors trade would be Og and Thaddius
Speaker 3: Young going to the Grizzlies for Danny Green, Dylan Brooks,
Speaker 3: good old Canadian boy, Zion Williams, and then two first
Speaker 3: round picks. So pretty similar deals here, Dylan Brooks or
Speaker 3: Tias Jones sort of being swapped in there Thattius to
Speaker 3: make the one deal work money wise. Well what do
Speaker 3: you think? You're shaking your head? You don't know.
Speaker 5: I'm excited. I'm excited getting into these teams that have
Speaker 5: some interesting picks. The Grizzlies have the Warriors pick. Couple
Speaker 5: of years from now, it'll probably be post Draymond Green,
Speaker 5: it's got light protections, turns into an unprotected pick. Eventually,
Speaker 5: you've got a couple guys the Zaire Williams Tias Jones package.
Speaker 5: I'm fine with Tyas Jones small. Sure they've got Fred
Speaker 5: van Vliet like Murphy, he's small, he can he can
Speaker 5: take Tias Jones.
Speaker 4: Tyo, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 5: And shout out to her man Jerome for spelling Zaire. Right,
Speaker 5: that's a tough tough one to spell. You got a
Speaker 5: Z I A I R E.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'd like to take some credit for that too.
Speaker 5: But okay, sure, congratulations from spelling.
Speaker 3: And I was like, hold on, I think there's another
Speaker 3: eye in there somewhere.
Speaker 5: I ridiculed Jerome yesterday, so I got give him some
Speaker 5: more today. But that's an interesting one. That's an interesting one.
Speaker 5: I like. I like MESSI gambling on the quality of
Speaker 5: the pick. Because if you've got all these teams actually
Speaker 5: at your door, actually giving you a call, you've gotta
Speaker 5: make a If you're fun like it's supposed to be
Speaker 5: fun for us, it's fun here sitting back. Yeah, we
Speaker 5: can make these trades. I think you want to you
Speaker 5: want to take a wager on a team that's gonna
Speaker 5: be bad a few years from now, and I think
Speaker 5: I'd rather pick getting the Warriors, you know, getting the
Speaker 5: Warriors past their window, than you know, one of these
Speaker 5: these Pacers picks. I'm a little bit worrisome that they're
Speaker 5: going to be bad. Ever, so I think it's I'm
Speaker 5: I'm gearing out for these teams that we're getting into.
Speaker 5: I like this one. If it's the Warriors pick involved
Speaker 5: with Tyas Jones, and I do like Zire Willims, who
Speaker 5: would fit in with the Reps.
Speaker 3: And do you think the Grizzlies would you know, consider
Speaker 3: either of these trades.
Speaker 5: I think so.
Speaker 3: Maybe even Dylan Brooks, he is sort of like their
Speaker 3: culture dude.
Speaker 4: Definitely true o G though definitely an upgrade over Dylan Brooks.
Speaker 4: He does like basically the exact same stuff, but doesn't
Speaker 4: take all kinds of crazy shots, has a little bit
Speaker 4: more size, and he's got a slightly longer contract, which
Speaker 4: I think could be a factor for the Grizzlies. They
Speaker 4: tend to ship guys out when they're getting ready to
Speaker 4: get paid. It happened with Melton, happened with Kyle Anderson?
Speaker 4: Could it happen with Ellen Brooks. He seems more locked
Speaker 4: in there to me. But they signed Tias Jones to
Speaker 4: a deal last year, so he's on the books for
Speaker 4: next season already. If they do this trade, they got
Speaker 4: Og for next season, right, and then I guess he's
Speaker 4: got a player option after that, so they would have
Speaker 4: to make a decision.
Speaker 5: But I don't know.
Speaker 4: I would do it if I'm the Grizzlies, But I
Speaker 4: don't know if the Grizzlies would do it.
Speaker 2: Ku.
Speaker 3: They do love their first round picks too.
Speaker 4: They like pick. That's why I don't think they'll trade
Speaker 4: that Warrior's pick, because that does have a shot at
Speaker 4: being a really good one.
Speaker 5: When is that twenty four?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's when it's top.
Speaker 5: Four protected and then top one protected and then unprotected
Speaker 5: the following year. Could be juicy. You're right, it's it
Speaker 5: sound like they made a great deal to get that thing.
Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to the Pelicans. They've been rumored
Speaker 3: in Og on Noobi trades. I mean, they're on a
Speaker 3: hell of a slide right now, so maybe that changes things.
Speaker 3: But let's get Og to the Pels in exchange four
Speaker 3: Herb Jones, Jackson Hayes, Devonte Graham and two first round picks.
Speaker 3: They got a lot of picks, two those pellies. That's
Speaker 3: version one, Version two. OG to the Pelicans, of course,
Speaker 3: in exchange for Dyson Daniels, DeVante Graham and two first
Speaker 3: round picks. What do you think, Trey?
Speaker 4: Honestly, the Pelican slide makes me hesitant to make an
Speaker 4: all in move right now. We've talked about him as
Speaker 4: one of the deepest teams in the league. They're certainly
Speaker 4: fun to watch their bench units when they're cooking. Usually
Speaker 4: when they're playing at Smoothie King, the crowd is lit,
Speaker 4: it's exciting times, but they're really struggling without their two
Speaker 4: best guys. And yeah, I mean, if Zion's healthy, if
Speaker 4: Brandon Ingram is healthy, it'd be nice to have OG
Speaker 4: alongside them. But I'm I just don't think that this
Speaker 4: is the team right now that needs to make a
Speaker 4: move for OG, despite the fact that he would look great.
Speaker 4: I find the Raptors that's a tough call here. I
Speaker 4: think I would rather have Dyson Daniels and the picks
Speaker 4: over Herb Jones and Jackson Hayes. Then the picks Herb
Speaker 4: seems like too much of a Raptor like not a
Speaker 4: great shooter from three, great defender, the perfect size, but
Speaker 4: they're trading that guy away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're trying to get like a worse OG back.
Speaker 3: I know Pelicans fans would rather keep Dyson Daniels over
Speaker 3: Herb Jones. I remember that was going around on Twitter
Speaker 3: there when I was throwing out hypotheticals along these lines
Speaker 3: like you know, who would you want more? I'm a
Speaker 3: Herb Jones fan. So if you're moving OG and you're
Speaker 3: getting picks for it, and he's like a sort of
Speaker 3: a poor man's OG right now, being younger, like a
Speaker 3: little early in his career than I'm not angry with it.
Speaker 3: I think there's something here.
Speaker 5: Things change fast with the fan bases of teams because
Speaker 5: Herb Jones was untouchable once upon a time and then
Speaker 5: he's tradable. And I still think there's a big faction
Speaker 5: that wouldn't trade him here. But I totally agree he
Speaker 5: is an OG light. It doesn't make a ton of sense,
Speaker 5: I think for the Raps, if you're focusing on that,
Speaker 5: I think you want something different than what you got.
Speaker 5: Why are you loading up on a Scottie Pascal out
Speaker 5: and Herb's good?
Speaker 3: I mean, we are including in that hypothetical Herb Jones,
Speaker 3: So that's your OG replacement Jackson Hayes. They need a center.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he's amazing, but obviously an
Speaker 3: athletic big DeVante Graham okay as a shooter, but you know,
Speaker 3: a high volume shooter that's more for the money. And
Speaker 3: then the picks, I mean they do have a Lakers
Speaker 3: pick too, is the other thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the weird thing they've got. They've got the
Speaker 5: right to swap with the Lakers this year and next year,
Speaker 5: I do believe. And so how does that work. Can
Speaker 5: you swap a pick swap? I guess you can in
Speaker 5: that you know, you trading. They have the Lakers pick
Speaker 5: and the right to swap. I guess those are two
Speaker 5: different things that maybe they have the right to swap
Speaker 5: next year well having the Lakers pick. Yeah, they have
Speaker 5: a bulb.
Speaker 3: And these could be in the future too. We could
Speaker 3: be getting into twenty fives and twenty sevens and stuff
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: And they've got a trader in David Griffin sitting back there.
Speaker 5: I agree, though it's difficult to go all in.
Speaker 3: So you think because of the timing of this nine
Speaker 3: game lo using streak and the injuries of Zion and
Speaker 3: branding Are and all that, like it actually makes them
Speaker 3: less likely to be making maybe you could argue a
Speaker 3: semi aggressive move at the deadline. Then if they hadn't
Speaker 3: had that and they were near the top of the
Speaker 3: West and they're going like, holy crap, we got a
Speaker 3: path here. You're nodding, you think that's probably true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the Pelicans still don't really know what the
Speaker 4: best version of their team looks like. They even when
Speaker 4: they were in the first that in the Western Conference,
Speaker 4: it was like you had a chunk where Brandon Ingram
Speaker 4: was healthy, at a chunk where Zion was healthy. We
Speaker 4: haven't been able to see these two guys together and
Speaker 4: what they can actually do at the peak of their
Speaker 4: powers to know the proper player to put alongside. And
Speaker 4: maybe they want to use this pick to get more
Speaker 4: of a stretch big to replace Valancenis, which I think
Speaker 4: is going to be a smart move down the line
Speaker 4: at some point. But it's easier to talk yourself into
Speaker 4: giving up a little bit of your future when it
Speaker 4: feels like, yeah, we're right there, we're a third place
Speaker 4: right now, we're one of the best teams in the league.
Speaker 4: We had a ton of young talent. It feels different
Speaker 4: than when you're losing nine of twelve or whatever it
Speaker 4: has been.
Speaker 3: All right, final team, the Phoenix Suns. I have four
Speaker 3: variations of Sons Raptors trades for Og. All right, buckle up,
Speaker 3: Sons get OG in the first one here for Jay Crowder,
Speaker 3: Cameron Johnson, two first round picks. Second version is more picks,
Speaker 3: Cam Johnson off the table, So it's OG to the
Speaker 3: Sons for Jay Crowder, Darius Sarich and three first round picks.
Speaker 3: And again I'm saying three first round picks. Probably it's
Speaker 3: probably like a twenty three, twenty five, twenty seven type
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, with them, it's it's definitely that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Another version is take out Jay Crowder and go
Speaker 3: Landry Shammitt. You know, Raptors may be more interested in
Speaker 3: a Shamit type of player as a shooter, So Shammitt
Speaker 3: Sorich and three first round picks for OG. And then
Speaker 3: the final one is completely different. I'm fascinated to hear
Speaker 3: your thoughts on this. It is getting DeAndre Ayton for
Speaker 3: OG and Thadeus Young and then maybe just one first
Speaker 3: round pick. Thoughts on any of these with the Sons
Speaker 3: either moving sort of jay crowder like the way I
Speaker 3: look Cam Johnson is a really good player. There's your
Speaker 3: young promising player. Feels like a Raptor player too that
Speaker 3: you would remove one of the first round picks. If
Speaker 3: he stays with the Sun because they love him, then
Speaker 3: it's three first round picks, and then the whole other
Speaker 3: sort of wild card is like why not eating They
Speaker 3: don't seem to love him all that much. You know
Speaker 3: he has his limitations, but he is a decent center.
Speaker 3: He's obviously still young under a contract all that. What
Speaker 3: do you think of a bunch of Suns trades? I
Speaker 3: just chucked at you for ogi.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't do the DeAndre Ayton one. I would be
Speaker 5: worrysome that we I'll go we that the Raptors would
Speaker 5: get enough out of him. They don't really have a
Speaker 5: great pick and roll partner for him. I don't think
Speaker 5: he would be amazing. I'd rather have the picks. I
Speaker 5: think the three first round picks plus Shammant, who's definitely
Speaker 5: a player that you can use forever and Sarch would
Speaker 5: make a little bit more sense. I would call me
Speaker 5: crazy rather bet on the Suns being bad in the
Speaker 5: long term than the Knicks just because of a potential implosion,
Speaker 5: because Chris Paul is going to retire one day, because
Speaker 5: the way they've looked this season, because the Deandreton scenario.
Speaker 5: I'd rather bet on that than betting on the Knicks
Speaker 5: being bad and combined with their picks. So this is
Speaker 5: all Suns picks. I'm a little bit more excited than
Speaker 5: the next situation. I like it compared to the Grizzly situation.
Speaker 5: I think I think that would be my number one
Speaker 5: pack at Shamit sarch and three first round picks TK.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a tough call here, but it feels like
Speaker 4: this is good deals Like it feels like a deal
Speaker 4: could be made here because there was people reporting that
Speaker 4: the Raptors, like entire brain trust was out in Phoenix
Speaker 4: this week basically scouting and chatting seeing who it could
Speaker 4: be a man. I kind of think that Cam Johnson
Speaker 4: in two first round picks is the way to go
Speaker 4: because it splits the difference between a sham At lead package,
Speaker 4: which I mean, sham It's fine, He's just a fine guy.
Speaker 4: Cam Johnson, though, is a real player. I do think
Speaker 4: maybe he would have trouble finding a spot with the Raptors,
Speaker 4: since as much as he's touted as a little bit
Speaker 4: of a stretch five, he's a four. He's definitely a four,
Speaker 4: and the Raptors, as we're seeing, they got a ton
Speaker 4: of it here. I have hope for Aton away from Phoenix.
Speaker 4: I think I think he'll be a pretty solid player
Speaker 4: when he's, you know, at the worst, the number two option,
Speaker 4: and he's much more involved as we've seen. He's got
Speaker 4: some big games for sure, but kind of with task
Speaker 4: that I'd rather have more picks than Ayton because I
Speaker 4: don't know. You can find centers these days, you know,
Speaker 4: and I mean the Raptors haven't, but I can find centers.
Speaker 4: So it makes you think, at least we'll try something
Speaker 4: a little bit cheaper for our center position. So I
Speaker 4: guess I'm going cam in a couple of first rounders
Speaker 4: in this.
Speaker 5: One, all right. And Ayden is playing fine, puts up numbers,
Speaker 5: but you can find a little cheaper, You can find
Speaker 5: a lot cheaper. He's a Max guy. Yeah, and so
Speaker 5: you got Max Siakam beside him. Well we were what
Speaker 5: are we running here? Doesn't feel like a recipe for
Speaker 5: an incredible team. I'm it doesn't and he also doesn't
Speaker 5: seem really like a MASSI player. But draft picks, dude.
Speaker 3: I liked some of these from the sun side of
Speaker 3: things though. I mean, you imagine mckail, bridges and Og
Speaker 3: out there, like locking up your perimeter players. That would
Speaker 3: be a lot of fun. And they're obviously a team
Speaker 3: that they're sort of like they racked it, you know,
Speaker 3: they put together some wins there. They obviously got hammered
Speaker 3: last night. Bookers should be back soon. We've seen them
Speaker 3: win sixty plus games, We've seen them go to the finals,
Speaker 3: so they know. They're like they've flirted with being an
Speaker 3: elite team in this league for a couple of seasons.
Speaker 3: Like adding Og again under contract, I think it makes
Speaker 3: some sense, especially some of those deals. It's really like, yeah,
Speaker 3: they're just like, yeah, we're okay, we're fine, We're giving
Speaker 3: up a bunch of picks, be it two or three,
Speaker 3: and then players like Crowder doesn't play for us, and
Speaker 3: then whoever, if it's Shamanton Sarich, they would do that
Speaker 3: in a heartbeat. I would think, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think Ayton is the one that gives you any
Speaker 4: sort of pause here, because basically it's like Cam Johnson
Speaker 4: is the only other guy who's a real rotation member.
Speaker 4: I mean, Sorry has been fine playing off the bench.
Speaker 4: For sure, He's had some big games as well, But
Speaker 4: I mean Cam is the guy who's kind of locked
Speaker 4: in there as a little bit of a core member.
Speaker 4: But it would be an upgrade to get Ojannaoby.
Speaker 3: All right, that's a lot of trades. I just chucked
Speaker 3: at you, guys, which team do you think makes the
Speaker 3: most sense? From the Knicks, the Pacers, the Grizzlies, the Pelicans,
Speaker 3: the Sons, there are other teams. I'm sure you could
Speaker 3: get frisky with. Let us know in the comments right
Speaker 3: now here in the stream. Team tweeted us at no
Speaker 3: dunk sink and thanks again to uh to Blake, to Eric,
Speaker 3: to Sporting News, Michael, to Michael.
Speaker 5: Gay as they say in Canada, to William lou.
Speaker 4: Blake Murph, I said, yeah, Murph dog sure and Matt Doudlin,
Speaker 4: why not?
Speaker 5: Sure? Jack? Jack, congrats, Jacky, Savannah, Akil, Randy, Randy, all right,
Speaker 5: Jerry who Jared y?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what we do, family view, just a fan
Speaker 3: pick of results last night. Man Trey Kirby is on fire.
Speaker 3: You could be rich right now. Back in this guy's picks,
Speaker 3: you had the Wolves who had some points to play
Speaker 3: with at home plus two and a half, they were
Speaker 3: the dogs. They obviously win in overtime. Another l for
Speaker 3: me in another overtime loss. I mean, this sucks, this
Speaker 3: shouldn't be. It's brutal. But yeah, we have the Warriors,
Speaker 3: so we're all in one here in February. Tray one
Speaker 3: to know what's Tonight's game?
Speaker 5: Heavy? Thursday night's sked unusual in the National Basketball Association.
Speaker 5: I think there's seven on tonight and I saw a
Speaker 5: nice one the Pelicans at the MAVs, who are favored
Speaker 5: by four and a half at home against these struggling Pelicans.
Speaker 5: Pelicans have lost nine in a row, but I think
Speaker 5: they can cover that four points the way they looked
Speaker 5: in their last game. While you guys think that the
Speaker 5: MAVs will win by five or more.
Speaker 3: Well, Trey thinks that, and I have just decided whenever
Speaker 3: I can, I'm just gonna back Tray right now, gotcha,
Speaker 3: because he's at So what's your reason?
Speaker 4: The Pelicans are just bad?
Speaker 5: Good reason?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: They're they're struggling. They lost their last game by nine
Speaker 4: previously twenty five, previously ten, previously nine. They haven't played
Speaker 4: a close game in a while, so maybe you should
Speaker 4: actually switch to the Pelicans.
Speaker 5: Hope me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, I'm going with you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, smart movie.
Speaker 3: You don't want me though, you don't want me back
Speaker 3: to you is the problem?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: Four and a half. We got the mass task has
Speaker 3: the pels and some points to play with. Let's get
Speaker 3: to tweeted the.
Speaker 5: Night, tweet out the night, Wow j D with tweet
Speaker 5: of the night.

Speaker 6: not on the basket reference website.
Speaker 3: No, No, let's get that up there. Let's do that
Speaker 3: b ref Come on.
Speaker 6: But our man sixty five percent font asked mid journey AI,
Speaker 6: which I assume is a it's an AI art generator,
Speaker 6: right to visualize what Danny Adio would look like as
Speaker 6: a nineteen nineties American glass. Okay, so apologies to the audio.
Speaker 6: Listeners are just gonna have to come on over to
Speaker 6: YouTube to check these out because they are incredible. There's
Speaker 6: four of them. Here's the first one.
Speaker 3: Whoa damn what what team is he playing?

Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, yeah, and like Drogo or you know, yeah
Speaker 6: from Rocky.
Speaker 4: Yeah, more from street Fighter. Yeah, very tall. That's a masterpoof.
Speaker 5: Zeus is playing on the far left there and no
Speaker 5: holds barred right left No, oh yeah, yeah, I thought
Speaker 5: his counterpart on the left side there kind of looks
Speaker 5: like Zeus. He also has the eye thing going on.
Speaker 3: I think AI hasn't figured out human eyes eyes.
Speaker 5: Here's a this is w w E to me, Shamrock.
Speaker 3: I wish it looked a little bit more like off
Speaker 3: you like.
Speaker 4: But got a little Adam Levine to it.

Speaker 3: Doesn't that look like what Turbo looked like?
Speaker 5: That's what the Star Trek logos in there. Wow?
Speaker 3: Those are those are great?
Speaker 4: A lot like the real Turbo.
Speaker 3: That's what they pulled from.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so yeah, I mean, just go back and just
Speaker 6: add to mid Journey. Just add with a goate.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I got to make it.
Speaker 6: Learn You gotta tell it what you want. I mean,
Speaker 6: you can't, you know, put in just random stuff.
Speaker 5: And it's pretty cool. It's you guys play with chat
Speaker 5: gp I of.
Speaker 3: Course, what if you do?
Speaker 4: Just tell like write me a tweet about the bulls
Speaker 4: being back. It's like, seriously, the things I put into it,
Speaker 4: putting too many hashtags in though, that's my my chat.
Speaker 4: I tried to fire up mid Journey. You got to
Speaker 4: join their Discord server, so I'm going to figure it out.
Speaker 3: That's like a community for us to get.
Speaker 4: I think it just works differently like their Their AI
Speaker 4: bot is done somehow through through Discord and it was
Speaker 4: like I tried whatever, man, I tried to join the beta,
Speaker 4: tried to join the beta. You gotta join the discord.
Speaker 4: Then you got to learn prompts, then you got to
Speaker 4: learn imagines. I don't know, it was more than just
Speaker 4: typing in what you want to see. Like the first
Speaker 4: time all the AI things went around, I was.
Speaker 3: Like, this is easy.
Speaker 4: Vin Diesel holding a tune of Sandwich twenty results all hilarious.
Speaker 4: Do it in the style of Salvador Dali, please, That
Speaker 4: was That's my only go to for AI stuff. Is
Speaker 4: a famous actor doing something weird in the style of
Speaker 4: a classical artist. Yeah, Tom Cruise running in the style
Speaker 4: of Henrima greet something.
Speaker 5: Great.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, when you think about it, we've done
Speaker 3: We've done over three thousand shows, you know, not all
Speaker 3: on camera, but a huge chunk for basically a decade,
Speaker 3: if not longer on camera. We could input that into
Speaker 3: obviously some sort of AI platform. And what I'm getting
Speaker 3: at is like, we don't need to I would sit
Speaker 3: a year from now. We don't need to be here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have every mannerism you've ever done here, your sayings,
Speaker 3: the way I talk, he thought, I mean, I'm just like,
Speaker 3: punch it in it uploads what happened in the NBA
Speaker 3: last night? Yeah, spits it out our show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean chat GPI doesn't do current events yet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 3: a little hurdle right now is like games happening last night.
Speaker 3: It's good.
Speaker 6: Sometimes this show feels like it was it's Ai, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean, just the tangents we go on
Speaker 6: and just.

Speaker 5: Why are you saying that we've talked about today Special before? Yeah,
Speaker 5: of course, yeah, I'm kidding.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the American Gladiators talk about over and over.
Speaker 5: Yes, humans, it's just a loop. It's a loop. We
Speaker 5: have the same thoughts every day, our thoughts exactly the same. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's what they say. That's what AI says. Ay is
Speaker 5: better than us.
Speaker 3: Anyway, that's a good tweet of the night, great photos.
