What Every NBA Team Would Do If The Trade Deadline Was Today · Kenny For Real

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, we are two weeks away from
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: NBA trade deadline. It is a scary time and an
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: exciting time in the NBA. I know, as of right now,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we've basically had one trade, and it's a little bit scary.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: But I remember seeing the side last week that got
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: me optimistic that you know, the week's leading up to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline is not always an indication of how
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: many trades will actually happen on that last day, So
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we're just chilling. Yeah, I would love to have it
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: be more trades and more bigger names available, but you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: never really know that would be in two weeks. It's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: an interesting time because I think we as fans, we
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: kind of have an idea of what we want our
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: favorite team to do. Some of us want our favorite
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: teams to sell, some people want to buy, some people
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: want to stand pat but you never really know what
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the front office is taking and today get the job done.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So on today we're gonna react to an article from
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: bleacher Port that says what every NBA team would do
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: if the deadline was today. This video is brought to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you by Bombas. Bombas is a premium basics and footwear
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: brand with the mission to help people in need, because
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for every item that you purchased, Bombas donates to someone
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in need, and since Lontin they've donated over one hundred
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: fifty million different items. But that it was time for
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a new chap. In Bomba's book introducing Bomba Sport, Bombas
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Sports socks are built with one purpose, to match your
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: level of commitment. They've specialized in making the back socks
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: for They're engineering for details that matter in every movement
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: like running, hiking, training, golf, skiing, snow and more so.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Boom check it. I'm wearing a pair right now. I'm
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: not gonna cap these are phenomenal. I am not much
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of an athlete nowadays, but if you look back here,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever noticed that that is
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: my entire set of my golf clubs Now, I can
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: see myself. Who I feel comfy with this, with the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: little seven iron going out there getting done. Everybody wants
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to talk about shoes or cleats or whatever, but people
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: don't really talk about the socks. And the socks are,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, just as important. And y'all know, we
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: got a deal. So if you hit the link in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the description and use code Kenny twenty you get twenty
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: percent off your first purchase with Bombas. Again, that is
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: code Kenny twenty for twenty percent off your first purchase.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Shout out of the in the bomb is for sponsoring
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this video, all right, shout out to the people over
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: ATVR Grey Hughes and such. Let's start off with the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks. They said hard reset required post Trey Young.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: This makes sense to me. I know that there were
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: some conversations about the Alanta Hawks being buyers of a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: guy like Anthony Davis. If I had to guess, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I don't have no intel, they'd probably be out in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the Anthony Davis thing now that he suffered his gazillion
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: injury of the season. I just don't see them doing it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And you know what, I don't think it's a bad
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: thing Atlanta. I know you're tired of the play in hell.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of the playing too, my favorite tvc and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: every single season. But I think it makes sense to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: kind of take a step back, see what you have
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in some of the players that are on your team
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: right now, and recognize the flexibility you have. I know
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that's one of them buzzwords that always gets thrown around
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and sometimes most of the time flexibility doesn't turn into
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: real things. But I just keep thinking that likes there
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: may not be no super duper star player that's traded
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: this deadline, but in the off season between Reza Shay
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Pelicans pick that we don't know what the numbers
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: gonna be, just Shad, but it's gonna be Hackins. The
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Pelicans can win a goddamn game from your other assets.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: You could be the next superstar team. So I was
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: just chill and it might be scary because who the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: hell knows if the next superstar player comes available with
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: obviouselyas but it could be you Atlanta. Next week, have
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics duck the luxury tax. They're roughly twelve
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: million dollars into the luxury tax. It's a bit weird because,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, the Boston Celtics have a newest
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: owner over there. We never really know what these owners
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: are thinking about when it comes to the luxury tax.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It may make it a little bit tougher to duck
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the luxury tax because the Boston Celtics have been playing
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: so well and all THEBA first team Jason Tatum is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be back in a couple of weeks. Here, it
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: seems like so duncan at tax might be easier said
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: than done to your fan base because anthrety Simons's kind
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of like a roller coaster. Sometimes Joe Mazoula loves him
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and he can give you a thirty piece, and sometimes
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: he hates him and he's gonna give you twenty total minutes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I don't really know. Trading and anthrety Simon's away for
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: nothing would get you under that luxury tax, but we're
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: not sure if that's exactly what the head is at
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: for the Boston Celtics next to Brooklyn that's got moved
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: some vets. Yeah, if I don't know, it's something about
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: MPJA that makes me feel like this is the highest
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: his value ever is going to be. The league is
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: open for most people. I think, okay, she's still a favorite,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but Denver is really close. The league is open, specifically
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference, So there could be in theory
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: teams that would just need a guy that can they
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: could average twenty five points per game on six triples
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and can come off screens and just chuck up shots
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and rebound well. And positionally we saw him be a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: decent to okay defensive player when he was a Denver,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So I think you might get the most value out
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of MPJ this deadline, so I'd be shopping him. I want.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I would like a really good first round unprotect the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: first round pick for MBJ, because you got to think
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: about where you're coming from. Man, you basically got a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: first round pick to get him in I mean camp,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: but you got a good first round pick to get
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: him in at least in theory. If you can get
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a first round pick to get him out of there,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, you feel great. That's how you get
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: assets and flip him the good old KT for a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Q way, then we get these Charlotte Hornet. Hold onto
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the mellow? Is this even a conversation? In my mind?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: La Mellow ball is there the continent with Brandon Miller
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Melo ball think is real as in like a genuine core,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: not real as they gonna win a championship, but a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: genuine core. So I would yes, stampat Wi LaMelo ball.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Honestly don't even know if LaMelo became available today, if
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: he'd have crazy sewers. So just chill. The team is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: okay when they all play together, and sometimes okay is
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: good For a team like that is good. The information
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Charlotte has from the season as wildly promising. Across six
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty non garbage time possessions, the Hornets own
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a plus eleven point five net rating and then a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: ninety nine percent time when ball can nip on Bred
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and melhad the floor. Those are the type of numbers
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that get you in trouble, but it's also the type
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of numbers that you get really excited about if you're Charlotte.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So yes, nothing for the Bulls. They're saying that if
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the deadline was today, the Bulls would do nothing, And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I want to say it's very let me go full
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: spare for this. I will say this very publicly. If
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we get past was it February fifth trade deadline and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the Bulls have done nothing, I might get banned from
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the United Center, I might get banned from will work
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bulls bro And though I hate ownership
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and I hate management, and I've been very public about that,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the Bulls themselves have welcomed me with open arms. We
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: dounk collaborations. We've done some really cool stuff. The things
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that I will say on this channel and on my podcast,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: if the Bulls do nothing is gonna get me banned.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So please, Chicago, please are telling this country shows, Please
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Mark Eversley, we gotta do something. No way, you have
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: seven expiring contracts coming off the books and you just
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like we're cool. Those are valuable to opposing teams. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: am a go get damn money type of guy personally,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: but doing nothing, doing nothing blow my mind. And before
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I film this video, I just saw a report from
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Mark Stein that says, hey, man, I keep haying across
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the Association that the Bulls are not trading Vusovich and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they're just gonna let them walk in free agency, which
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is like, if he has no market, then let it
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: be what it be. But we ain't got a tee
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that's in is it today? For like, no second, give
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: me a second. I just I did you know? I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: also saw from the same reports that the Bulls are
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: are actually genuinely calling about Zion, and the Pelicans continue
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to say we're not trading Zion. So that scares the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: hell out of me because that means that if the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Bulls do pull off for Zion trade, they might be
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: overpaying like crazy. Okay, enough bulls talk. They're too bad
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to spend a lot more time on. Take a step
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: back from the Cleveland Cavaliers. I'm assuming this means basically,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just do nothing, you know, just the yes, the Caves
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Are'm gonna lead's most disappointing. The step back could take
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it out, Yeah, keep it to perspective. I think this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: is a year that, like, obviously they've been disappointed. We
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: all can agree there they were whatever, sixty something win team.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I forget sixty four win team last year. Maybe that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: was okay. See, they've been under performing, but I don't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: think that's a reason to at the deadline at least
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: make something dramatic happen. I think if something dramatic should
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: happen for the Cavaliers, it should be any offseason because
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that's truly where you get true value for your assets.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Dallas try to find positive value for Anthony Davis. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: would struggle to see that be in the reality. Atlanta,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: one of the teams that was really interested is out.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: There's rumored that the Toronto Raptors were interested. It seems
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like they are out. They haven't according to reports, they
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: haven't talked to the Dallas Mavericks in a week basically
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: since Anthony Davis got injured, and there was another team
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that also I read that was out as well. So
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: if the three of the four major suitors for Anthony
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Davis are out, finding positive value is gonna be tough
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: because who is that last team, whoever it may be
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: competing against, to give you positive value. I think you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: allow Anthony Davis to he said he's not gonna go
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: through the surgery or whatever. But I think you allow
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Anthony Davis to just chill, get healthy. You bring him
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: back next season, or you do some offseason trades. But
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: right now, I don't want to just trade Anthony Davis
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: for nothing, and I find it hard to believe that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: they're gonna find real positive value carefully shop zig Nagy.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Look how far we've come. Man Zeke Naji was an
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: untradable contract like last season, and now they're saying be
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: careful about trading them. You can trade them, but be careful.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: There's Oh my god, I feel so bad because I'm
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: forgetting names. But there's a guy on Twitter who also
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: does podcasts and stuff. I cannot swipe him. Swiper have
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: been hitting me up for like three years. Like, get
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: ready for a Zignology Ayoda sumus swap, get ready for it,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and be like bro cut it out, man, we don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: want those Ignology, and we still don't want those Ignology.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But it's a little bit more realistic today than it was.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know three months ago, Whennog's getting Dnbes, I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: think Ignology's an NBA player. I just don't know if
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he's you know, a guy that I want on my team.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But I think it's a real NBA player, So I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: make it makes sense to carefully shop him because maybe
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: this is the highest value you would ever get as somebody
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that's just playing basketball. H But we'll move on Detroit.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Trust themself, trust themselves for Detroit. I am anti this
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: trusting themselves in their mind. I'n't read this answer, but
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming this means that, like, don't do anything crazy,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: don't go out there and be ultra bias. Just trust
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: what's in the locker room right now. And what's in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the locker room right now is amazing. Right if if
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: your stats saying you win three out of every four games,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: oh my god, you're doing something amazing. But I can't
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: help but to look at the conference being wide open
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and seeing potential roster fits on the market and see
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that the Pissons shouldn't be buyers it's currently constructed. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: think that the Pistons should be the favorite to win
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the East because the Knicks are trash right now, but
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I also struggle to feel like they're going to be
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: able to, I don't know, have a really good playoff offense,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and you gotta do that four times, or let's say
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: just three times and get to the NBA Finals. It's tough, man.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And then with teams like the Celtics coming back next season,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and then maybe the Pacers coming back next season, who know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: this might be a true window for the Pistons to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: represent the Eastern Conference. I don't know if that's gonna
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: be the case next year. I don't know. I'm not
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: saying this impossible. There obviously have so much talent on
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the roster. It's definitely possible. But this might be the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: best opportunity to do it. So if we talk about MPJ,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that I'm calling about MPJ, I just say him, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't. I don't know. I don't
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: like to stand and pack, especially with a guy like
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: J Nivy is the eye man out. Let's be realistic here.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He's the eye man out. That doesn't mean he's a
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: bad ball player. Hell, I don't even know if we'd
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: know if he's a good ball player or not. But
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I think that some teams will be interested in j
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Naives be a one of the centerpieces to a trade
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for the Piston. So I would buy in a little
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: bit personally. Wonder why Johnathan Kaminga is still there for
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors. I don't have anything else to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: say about the Warriors. They're reportedly not trying to ship
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler's contractut, which is fine. Jimmy Bull's part of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the team. So I just don't know how they find
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: value to become good mark No, no, no, no no. Mike
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Dunavy is talking about, hey, you can make demands, but
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: if there's no demands for your demands, the where you at?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And that's just saying that there's no market for john
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Di Kaminga. So there is a word he's selling the roster.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And if he's selling the roster, everybody failed everybody over
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: there field, from Kaminga's agency to Mike Dullavy to Steph Curry,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry getting some I'm joking. I'm joking, check in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: with fred VanVleet Ooh, that's the business of this game
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that we love. Freddy took that. I was gonna say,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Freddy took that big bag to go there. Let's be realistic.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Everybody would have taken that back to go there in
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that first season. But even even with him not playing,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it still feels like he is a leader room a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: leader room vet or locker room vet. Even when they're
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: not he's not suiting up, he's on the bench, as
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you can see on the picture like this where he's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: trying to mentor some of the younger dudes. I understand
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: putting your foot on the gas, and Freddie's contract is
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the money that you would need to put the foot
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on the gas if you were going to acquire players
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: that can help you today. Man, it will be bad business.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, just like the optics of it. And maybe
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you say, hey, Freddie, we're gonna trade your way, but
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: remember we're the team that gave you forty million dollars
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: when nobody else was even thinking about giving you twenty five.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it sucks to trade your way. We gotta
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: do what we gotta do. We already set you up
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: with generational wealth and if Freddie is available. Man, I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: don't even know what type of player they should try
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to try to get. I think it might just be
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: jump shooting. But some of these teams are so good
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: with their front five. They're like, hypothetically, let's say Frevenly
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is traded and they go get the thing of need,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: which is shooting. I guess, I guess when you're closing
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: out games, where do you find that Because you gonna
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: have KD, you're gonna have shitgu you're gonna have Bar,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have a men, and you probably want to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: have Tari. Maybe Tari is the I man out on
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: closing lineups if you want to insert that whatever shooter
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: is available. But I just don't know. I mean, if
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you're adding that value for somebody that's gonna score or
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: play twenty minutes a game, I still know if that's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: as valuable as going to get a start. I don't know.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Next we got shop Ben Mathron oh Man, I just
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: saw a really interestant report. It's from the same subsection
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: out to Mark Stein and the and Jake Fisher over there,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But a report that I've been thinking about since I
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: saw it thirty six weeks ago. Was a Ben math
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and Eves Missy swap. I had pitched a Ben Mathroom
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Nick Claxxon swap with exterior things, right, I think that
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Nick Claxon is more valuable to Ben Mathrons, so maybe
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that means you add extra value for the Brooklyn Nets.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But a straight up one for one swap of Ben
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: mathin Eves Missy kind of is making a little bit
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of sense, and it seems like that is a conversation
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that is happening right now. So maybe that is one
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of the deadline deals that we see since Eve's Missy
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is the only player on the Pelicans that is available
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: big the Thunder for picks. Sure this is one of them.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Like we don't know what the hell going on in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: La type things playing better obviously Kawhile leon ol I thought,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I think I saw he was questionable tonight, so maybe
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he does come back, But I just I don't know
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: they're talking about trading back for that twenty twenty six
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and giving them another pick. This is something that's been
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: talking about a lot over the last month or so.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of done talking about it. Lakers seek athleticism
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: on defense. Yeah, the defense has been really bad for
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like a long time, but mostly that last month. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: think they're almost dead last, and defense a guy like
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Daniel Gaffer could help that. I just don't know what
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: type of value you're getting out to get Daniel Gaffer.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, let's just swap all of two years
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: ago Luca's team in the Mavericks with this Lakers team,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and I think everybody walks out happy. The Lakers now
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: have a competent, championship level team since hell, we just
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: saw him go to the championship two years ago. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: then the Lakers have I mean, the Mavericks have stuff. Next,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: we got fine shooting for the Memphis Grizzlies. Let me
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: read this one, because I could see the Memphis Gizzs
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: do a lot of things. Obviously, we know John Wright
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: is potentially on the market, and in my mind, you're
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: trading away John b ren You might as well break
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it down to the studs and try some fight, some
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: value for Jaron because Jaren just yesterday showed another example
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: of why he is an All Star caliber player, even
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: if it's not on a nightly basis. And I think
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that if Jarn was actually available, they got with four
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: first round picks for Desert Band. I think you could
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: get that level of value for Jaren as an all
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: defensive caliber player, even though it's not looking like that
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: on a nightly basis. I'm always just gonna say, if
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: we want to have Jaron as a guy, I want
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to have Jaron with another big bruiser five man, like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a clinging, like an ed, like somebody. These teams that
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: have one of those big fellas. Right now, the Mphis
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Grizzies are playing more Jeron Jackson Junior at the five,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and it's been looking decently, but they're saying the Memphis
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Grizzies could lead the deadline and drama by trading John Ran.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: It's hard to find appealing offers for him. In the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: one time, Cornerstone told reporters in London that he didn't
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: want to be dealt and Memphis focus is on making
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the most of life with John Rant for now. That
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: starts with shooting, got it. So they're saying, we're keeping
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: John Moran and in this case we're going to ask
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: shooting alongside him, which would help a guy like John
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Moran and the team Miami is to shake it up.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I just I don't know. Miami is always
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: in a very interesting spot as a team that's good
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: but never really great. And shake it up that means
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: trading away Wiggins and Norman powellcave hit free agency this offseason.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: My I'm just gonna move Milwaukee Bucks, postponing the inevitable. Yes,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: if we're not trading, honest, we might as well try
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to put pone the inevitable by buying. And I'm gonna
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: say it once, I say it again. If I am
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: a team with something that the Milwaukee Bucks are trying
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to trade for, if whatever reason they're really interested in
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Joe Smoe, and Joe Smoe is on my team. I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: want twenty thirty one from the Bucks more than I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: want anything. Do y'all believe Yannis is still gonna be
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: on the team in twenty thirty one? I want that pick?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? One of the more valuable things
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that could get dealt Minnesota upgrade the point yep reports
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that they were interested in Kobe White. There reports they
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: were interested in Trey Jones, or reports are incident Iyodasumo.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: All three of those dudes would help that team. I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: just don't know which one aid prioritize or to which
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: one would get the Bulls the most value. They even
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: mentioned anything like Colin Sexton right here, which don't I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: don't be seeing Colin. I don't see Kobe White either.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Kobe White and Collin Sexton as points. I see them
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: as combos. And maybe that's still enough for this team.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But in my mind, like Trey Jones makes so much
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: sense for them. I love you some Trey Jones, but
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: he is a true point. He gets to the basket,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he gets to the foul line, and I think he
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: can help settle some things down. I've seen the boys,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Kobe and some of these other dudes try to be
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: like slow down. I'm the point guard set some things up,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and I wasn't impressed. Next to move on to the Pelicans,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they should one hundred percent shop Trey Murphy. I don't
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: understand Joe dumar is not wanting to do that. We're
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: not playing for anything. We don't have our first round pick.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: How do we find value in the season. The way
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you find value in the season is to maximize the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: players that Like, if we got a notification that Trey
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Murphy was available, he's instantly the first, second, or third
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: best player that could get dealt. So why not try
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to even if you truly don't want you trade Trey Murphy,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: why not open up the business just to see if
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you can get somebody to open pay overpay, And maybe
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you're saying, Kenny, he's closing the door so they'd overpay.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm out on Joe du Mars. The Knicks
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: make a target to search for a winger for the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: only thing they really got is ger Shaw, god Lee Gershan.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: My goodness, all they really got is Gershot Yavu Sally
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: as a tradeable thing, god Lee, how is he doing that? Okay?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: See thunder kick the can down the roll, let's not
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: panic about Okay. See no longer being on pace to
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: set an all time record. There's uh. They are only
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: on track to secure sixty eight victim. We just see. Yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: we liked it. We were like Sky's falling. They lost
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: six in the last twelve and they still could end
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: up with nearly seventy wins, which is crazy. Okay, she's
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: not tay you I expect to do anything. Truly, I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: truly don't expect him do anything. Trim Sally for the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Orlando Magic. Orlando is about to get really They're already expensive,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: but maybe really expensive really soon, because Anthony Black is
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: actually like really goddamn good. If you think about Suggs
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: as on the near met Rookie Max franz Is on
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: two hundred and Palo's on two hundred. WHOA, So I think, yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I think a guy like John Isaac Tias and even
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Gogo Batazzi could get dealt specifically just to shed some salary.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I don't even think John is is fully guaranteed either.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So we move on to shop Quentin Grimes. There's a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: team that shop let's say shop Shopping Quentin Grimes makes
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense. There's almost zero percent chance they
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: can resign him this offseason. So if that is the case,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you get him out of the door now and try
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to bring some value that maybe you feel like we'll
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: be here for the now and for the future. So
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it makes sense. I really like Quentin Grimes's game. That's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: why I feel like they just won't be able to
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: match something that he gets open on the open market.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: When we have like nearly ten teams with some salary cap,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and a lot of those teams end up being more
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: young than old, like a youngest team trying to get better.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I could see them being like Quentin Grimes for half
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a munch million dollars for sure, so you get out
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of there now. I could see that the qualifying offer
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: gives Grimes veto power any deal, so he in the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: seventy six. You have to collaborate. Cool trade Big Rayce O'Neil.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I would assume that the way they're thinking about it
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: is Race o'nil's playing great basketball right now, and he
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: could be potentially one of the more interesting names because
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he is a guy that you could plug into all
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: contending teams and he's going to be good. And you
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: ask yourself from the Phoenix Suns perspective, what's our ceiling
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: as a team? Should we be trying to get future assets?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Should Race O'Neil be available If we're trying to get
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: future assets. I'm kind of out on that idea. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: know it may not be great for the long term
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to look at this team, but I'm having so much
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: damn fun with this team. I don't want to shake
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: up nothing. Pauland Trail Blazers trade Jeremy Grant. Yeah, Jeremy
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Grant has been a guy that's in that of the lineup.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: He got that big ass contract or if I don't
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: even know that they mentioned here is thirty plus million dollars.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: He obviously is not somebody that they look at as
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: part of their long term future. If he stays healthy,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: sustaining his numbers despite team such Milwaukee, desperate, team such
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee could themselves into on board, and yeah, hey, I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: can see Milwaukee. Next we move on to the Kings,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: pursue half measures. This is like saying we can trade
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: these guys. It might just be a little bit too tough.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: So let's trade the Malik Monks of Dnnis Shruders, the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Keon Elysis ooh, or the Keegan Murray's key. And there's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: nothing about the Kings that make me feel like anybody
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: should be untouched. But what am I talking about? Listen
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: to offers on everybody, but be okay with saying that,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: hey man, we weren't able to trade tomorrow. We weren't
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: able to trade Zach Lavine or Sabonus, but we weren't
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: able to get some value out of Dennis Shruder or
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Kean Ellis or Melik Monk. I think that's a good
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: plan and then let the rescue the rest of this offseason.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Spurs ooh act ambitiously. They want them to go out
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: there and use some of those draft picks. It's just
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: never really been the Spurst thing. I can't remember the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: last big time in season trade the Spurs to put together,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: so I just don't think that's gonna happen. I think
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they're gonna standpat on their young nucleus, no nucleus, get
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: some off some postseason reps, a first round, second round,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: whatever it may be, and then, like okay see did
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: two years ago, let that first taste of the postseason
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: give you a better understanding of who's a part of
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: your core and who's not. Toronto Raptors threat the need them.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: The Toronto Raptors are the worst ree purshooting team of
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the league, which make their need for spacious obvious. They're
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: also thin in the front lines, your products out in
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the back of big to play behind or even in
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: place of Yakaperl, who continues to miss time frequently, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: they'll look to address those separate needs while trying to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: shave about one million off their pay for luxury tax things.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I saw that maybe r J Barrow might be available
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: via trade. We'll see the Jazz facilitate and fail. Yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: use debt money and retain your pick. I have no notes.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Acquire dead money, which some of these expiring deals the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: nurkices of the world than the Ames, the Andersons and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Kevin Love. And make sure you're bad enough to keep
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: your top a protect the pick. Lastly, the Wizards find
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: more bad money. Agreed, They've done such a great job
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: around the edges of bringing in bass salary from Chris
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: middle In for the cal Couls Matred or season McCullough
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: for Jordan Poole or Trey Young where they got for
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: nothing basically because of the money. Do the same thing.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And in this one they got Jeremy Grant. Acquire Jeremy Grant,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: bring him to Washington, d C. And let him cook
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: for a season, and you just chill. Not a bad article.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Let me know what you think. What do you want
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: your favorite team to do? I see all tomorrow.
