Latest / Kenny For Real / 2025 NBA Free Agency Has Been...
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five. NBA Free Agencies opened up about twenty
- 0:03Speaker 1: seven hours ago. As I record this video, and I
- 0:05Speaker 1: basically want to talk about all the cool things or
- 0:07Speaker 1: not so cool things that I've been seeing over the
- 0:09Speaker 1: last chunk of time. Shamseraani did tell us this is
- 0:13Speaker 1: going to be the craziest, potentially the craziest off season
- 0:16Speaker 1: of all time. It ain't been that, but there have
- 0:19Speaker 1: been some teams going forward, and as we see, we're
- 0:21Speaker 1: in the parody NBA, even though okay see did their
- 0:24Speaker 1: thing and it might be the most out of all
- 0:26Speaker 1: the previous champions, the most prime to go back to back.
- 0:29Speaker 1: There's so many teams looking at the landscape of the
- 0:31Speaker 1: NBA and say, hey, why can't it be us? And
- 0:33Speaker 1: because of that, we got teams being aggressive. The Denver
- 0:35Speaker 1: Nuggets are aggressive for basically the first time forever since
- 0:38Speaker 1: they got rid of Calvin Booth and all those dudes.
- 0:41Speaker 1: The Atlanta Hawks. Matter of fact, I'm starting off with
- 0:42Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks. Look at this, this is a real
- 0:46Speaker 1: NBA team, y'all. If you've been watching this channel for
- 0:49Speaker 1: some time, maybe listening to the podcast. Three of the
- 0:52Speaker 1: last four years, I've come to the show and convinced
- 0:55Speaker 1: myself that the Atlanta Hawks were going to be at
- 0:57Speaker 1: least good, right, not not saying that they would win
- 0:59Speaker 1: Eastern Conference or they would do this, they would do that,
- 1:02Speaker 1: but I had convinced myself that they would be making
- 1:04Speaker 1: some noise last year. Didn't fall for the height because
- 1:06Speaker 1: if it burnt my ass over the last couple of years,
- 1:09Speaker 1: it's impossible for me at least to look at this
- 1:11Speaker 1: depth chart for this season and not think that this
- 1:14Speaker 1: is going to be a really successful year for the
- 1:17Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks. Now. The biggest additions they have, of course,
- 1:20Speaker 1: is Christaps Porzingis, who was basically a salary dump but
- 1:24Speaker 1: like still a competent and really good player if we
- 1:26Speaker 1: could get his lungs with him again. And you know,
- 1:28Speaker 1: when he did play last year, which is not that
- 1:31Speaker 1: big of a time, he was pretty solid. They're the
- 1:34Speaker 1: only team to say yes to the Joe Dumar's madness.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Joe Dumares said that he called players or teams between
- 1:40Speaker 1: like pick nine and thirteen, and everybody said no. That
- 1:43Speaker 1: Alanta Hawks were the only team that said, yeah, we'll
- 1:45Speaker 1: do that deal. We'll take that unprotected best of Milwaukee slash.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The Pelicans and now Milwaukee did some things today that hell,
- 1:51Speaker 1: that pick might be even juicier. And they traded down
- 1:54Speaker 1: to get Aisha Newell, who I didn't like if he
- 1:56Speaker 1: was going in the lottery back pick twenty three. Asa
- 1:58Speaker 1: Newell is a perfect pick. And in the last twenty
- 2:01Speaker 1: four hours they added to kill Alexander Walker. I think
- 2:05Speaker 1: they had a twenty four million dollar trade exception and
- 2:07Speaker 1: they were able to get the kill as a Walker
- 2:09Speaker 1: just ship out a second round pick to the Minnesota Temples.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Really good deal there, and also Lukenardan a one year,
- 2:14Speaker 1: eleven million dollar contract. The one thing, oh notification is
- 2:17Speaker 1: it no my luck is as soon as I'm done
- 2:20Speaker 1: on filming his video of something big happens, I'll just
- 2:22Speaker 1: recorded the video regardless. The one question mark that you
- 2:25Speaker 1: can you can ask about a Tray Young led team,
- 2:28Speaker 1: There's two question marks, I guess. The first one is
- 2:30Speaker 1: can you create a good defense if Trey Young is
- 2:35Speaker 1: on the court. Trey Young, for all his worth, has
- 2:37Speaker 1: been better and better defensively every year of his career.
- 2:40Speaker 1: But he's only able to do so much as a
- 2:42Speaker 1: six to two guy. And I'm being very generous when
- 2:45Speaker 1: I say six to two six to guy that has
- 2:47Speaker 1: so much pressure offensively. I don't expect Trey Young to
- 2:50Speaker 1: go out there and be Dave I Mitchell right who
- 2:52Speaker 1: has a similar hype profile. But with the team that
- 2:55Speaker 1: they are building right now, Trey Young should be Okay.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Daniels is a DPOY candidate last season. Reside Again, I
- 3:03Speaker 1: don't know if I'm ever pronouncing that right projects to
- 3:06Speaker 1: get better throughout time. Jayalen Johnson good defensive player. Porzingis
- 3:09Speaker 1: when he's healthy, good defensive player. Nikile Alexander Walker added
- 3:13Speaker 1: him to this team, and again we're talking about a
- 3:15Speaker 1: bench role player, the sixth seventh man in the rotation.
- 3:18Speaker 1: He adds so much versatility to what the Atlanta Hawks
- 3:21Speaker 1: could potentially do because I was really questioning, like, what
- 3:24Speaker 1: is the backup point guard situation going to be for
- 3:26Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks. Is Kobe Buffkin gonna be ready to
- 3:29Speaker 1: play real NBA minutes when it matter? In this depth chart,
- 3:32Speaker 1: they got v Cregi as a backup point guard. None
- 3:34Speaker 1: of that is really relevant because Nikkeile Alexander Walker is
- 3:36Speaker 1: a combo where you just saw in Minnesota that they
- 3:39Speaker 1: were able and will they were willing to let him
- 3:41Speaker 1: initiate offense time and time, and now they can just
- 3:44Speaker 1: have a placeholder backup point guard when Trey Young is
- 3:47Speaker 1: not on the court. Dyson Daniels also showed last season
- 3:50Speaker 1: that he can be some some creator of facility. Jalen
- 3:52Speaker 1: Johnson was a point four last year. And I think
- 3:55Speaker 1: that all of this would not matter if we didn't
- 3:58Speaker 1: see the transition in Trey Young's game from last season.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Trey Young played off the ball the most he had
- 4:04Speaker 1: ever played in his career. You know, early on to
- 4:06Speaker 1: the season, he was talking about how he's buying into
- 4:08Speaker 1: what quinn snyders preaching, and we did see that last year.
- 4:11Speaker 1: You know, the first couple of years of Trey Young's career.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Of course, his useless rate is still pretty high, because
- 4:15Speaker 1: he's pretty fucking good. I would want it to be
- 4:17Speaker 1: pretty high. The first couple years of his career, it
- 4:19Speaker 1: was high pick and roll and let Tray Young spread
- 4:21Speaker 1: out with the Kevin Herders of the world. The one
- 4:23Speaker 1: year John Collins shot it well and so on and
- 4:25Speaker 1: so forth. This year, of course, we still get that
- 4:27Speaker 1: because that's a great thing to do offensively, but he
- 4:30Speaker 1: played off the ball and let the others Cook a
- 4:32Speaker 1: lot more, and I just think that opens up the
- 4:34Speaker 1: game so much for the others on this team. And
- 4:37Speaker 1: with the Eastern Conference being where it is right now,
- 4:39Speaker 1: where it's gonna be no Tatum, no Halliburn, hell no Dame,
- 4:41Speaker 1: and Dame only got a damn job right now, Why
- 4:44Speaker 1: why can't the Atlanta Hawks be the team and make
- 4:46Speaker 1: some noise next season? Like, I don't think that's out
- 4:48Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility. I think there are a
- 4:50Speaker 1: couple of big question marks right when you think about
- 4:52Speaker 1: that being a reality. Will you get a healthy Porzingis?
- 4:55Speaker 1: Will you get a healthy poor Zingis? When it matters?
- 4:58Speaker 1: Right because basically the last two run, even though they
- 5:00Speaker 1: won a championship in Boston two years ago or last
- 5:02Speaker 1: year or whatever, he basically didn't play until like the
- 5:04Speaker 1: first game with the NBA Finals. We gave us a
- 5:06Speaker 1: game and then he was done, right, So can he
- 5:08Speaker 1: be healthy? Reminder, he was gonna play salary dumps, So
- 5:11Speaker 1: that was a worthy gamble if you're the Atlanta Hawks
- 5:13Speaker 1: because if he don't work out, so what That's the
- 5:17Speaker 1: first question mark? Can we get a healthy Porzingis? And
- 5:19Speaker 1: the cool thing is, like an Yuka Congo and Porzingis
- 5:21Speaker 1: can run some lineups together. Uh, they just have so
- 5:23Speaker 1: much versatility. Like there, I'm again looking at this depth chart.
- 5:26Speaker 1: There could be lining them swarre Trey Young is out there,
- 5:28Speaker 1: when Calais Enderwalker, res I say, Jalen Johnson, Porzingis, they
- 5:31Speaker 1: could be a lineup. Who's yucka Congo, Chriss Porzicas. They
- 5:34Speaker 1: could be line ups was Yuka Congo Jalen Johnson? That
- 5:37Speaker 1: could be smaller lineups Orris I say again, sorry, moving
- 5:40Speaker 1: over to the floor, and you add the shooting of
- 5:42Speaker 1: Lucunard and like Quin Snyder is about to have a
- 5:44Speaker 1: field day and he's gonna have so much fun with
- 5:46Speaker 1: this different roster constructions. Anyway, going back to the original point,
- 5:49Speaker 1: the second thing that was like a big question mark
- 5:52Speaker 1: in my personal opinion or for next season is what
- 5:55Speaker 1: type of league could we see from Resacee? Right, it's
- 5:58Speaker 1: a fine rookie. Last season, I think towards the end
- 6:00Speaker 1: of the year he got his wings and he started
- 6:03Speaker 1: to play a lot better. He had a couple breakout performances,
- 6:06Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But like if he can
- 6:08Speaker 1: be I don't even know what's the realistic expectations for
- 6:10Speaker 1: a year or two guy, But if he could just
- 6:12Speaker 1: be good, let's just say good. Now, I'm not even
- 6:14Speaker 1: saying that he's an All star. I'm not even saying
- 6:16Speaker 1: he's a high level starter. If he could be a
- 6:19Speaker 1: starter level player, that's really good for this team. Sixteen
- 6:24Speaker 1: defensive minded, can knock down the shot, at least, that's
- 6:27Speaker 1: what we're hoping, can knock down the shot, or saw
- 6:28Speaker 1: on and so forth. This offseason has been as amazing
- 6:32Speaker 1: as you can get for the Atlanta Hawks. And if
- 6:34Speaker 1: we want to go back to draft day when they
- 6:35Speaker 1: did trade for the pick that ended up being asing
- 6:37Speaker 1: getting the extra value back, you saw what's going on
- 6:41Speaker 1: to Milwaukee, which is basically, I don't fucking know if
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yann's worth tooever, no matter of fact, let me not.
- 6:49Speaker 1: But if John's worth toever, you want your own picks back,
- 6:53Speaker 1: because if I'm not mistaken, let me double check this.
- 6:55Speaker 1: They do have some rights to their twenty twenty seven
- 6:57Speaker 1: along with the twenty twenty six that you just saw
- 7:00Speaker 1: it traded, so like in case, just just just just
- 7:03Speaker 1: in case. I don't know if I've ever been more
- 7:05Speaker 1: excited for Lenhawks. And again of saying something because I've
- 7:07Speaker 1: been excited about three of the last four years. I'll
- 7:10Speaker 1: be I don't come back and buy mini ass And
- 7:12Speaker 1: somebody said they still got a little bit more money
- 7:14Speaker 1: to spend, and I don't know where they go there.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Maybe it is going to get another wing for three
- 7:18Speaker 1: four type of guys, just in case Asa Nua is
- 7:20Speaker 1: not ready to play four minutes or five minutes, whatever
- 7:22Speaker 1: it may be. But I'm excited for Lenahawks basketball. And
- 7:25Speaker 1: they were able to do this really fast. It feels
- 7:27Speaker 1: like just a year ago they traded for Dejoontay Murray
- 7:29Speaker 1: and gave up all of the all of that capital capital.
- 7:31Speaker 1: They were able to retain some some draft picks back
- 7:34Speaker 1: while putting together competent enough team that if we were
- 7:37Speaker 1: coming back here in April of next x year, like, oh,
- 7:40Speaker 1: the Hawks are the four seed. Yet that's not a surprise,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and that's pretty dope. Next thing, this is very low key.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on this
- 7:46Speaker 1: when the Charlotte Hornets continue to just do really cool
- 7:48Speaker 1: things around the edges. They traded for Colline Sex, they
- 7:50Speaker 1: got a second round pick in that one. They got
- 7:52Speaker 1: Pat Conaton on an expiring contract, for two second round picks.
- 7:55Speaker 1: They just brought back Terrence, a trade man as I
- 7:57Speaker 1: you know, got home from where I was at. So
- 8:00Speaker 1: around the edges, it's not a team. I think it's
- 8:01Speaker 1: about to go make some noise next season. But like
- 8:03Speaker 1: I think, over the last year, this new regime, this
- 8:05Speaker 1: new ownership group, and this new general managing group have
- 8:08Speaker 1: done pretty damn good stuff. And I really like like
- 8:11Speaker 1: a lot of their draft picks. I think Kaka nub
- 8:13Speaker 1: was really cool. I don't have ano pain on Liam
- 8:14Speaker 1: McNeely other than me thinking his thirty one percent in
- 8:17Speaker 1: college from three is probably not realistic. I think he's
- 8:19Speaker 1: a better shoot than that. But Seon James, I think
- 8:21Speaker 1: the James the NBA player. I could be wrong there,
- 8:24Speaker 1: but like he could be that. So really like their offseason,
- 8:27Speaker 1: even if it's not again groundbreaking stuff. Next team is
- 8:29Speaker 1: this one, the Denver Nuggets. Now the different Nuggets pulled
- 8:34Speaker 1: off of trade yesterday a little bit after free agency started.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Basically sitting in Michael Porter Junior in a twenty thirty
- 8:40Speaker 1: two first round pick, and it's chains for Cam Johnson.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Immediately as I saw that, I'm like, that's that's that's
- 8:44Speaker 1: a win. For the different Nuggets, not just because Cam
- 8:47Speaker 1: Johnson is a good player, but also it frees up
- 8:49Speaker 1: the opportunity for them to do more things. It is
- 8:52Speaker 1: so crazy that Mike Malone for three years or basically
- 8:54Speaker 1: ask at Calvin Booth, please give me some veterans, Please
- 8:57Speaker 1: give me some veterans, Please give me some depth. And
- 8:59Speaker 1: Calvin Booth is like, nah, here's Hunter Tyson. Nah, here's
- 9:01Speaker 1: Ignajia on an extension, and I think this might be
- 9:04Speaker 1: an interim GM. It's like, no, we're gonna go get
- 9:07Speaker 1: players right now. And they all might be thirty plus,
- 9:09Speaker 1: but like when is our window? Our windows the Nakola
- 9:12Speaker 1: Jokics window. So they bring in Cam Johnson, I think
- 9:14Speaker 1: it's twenty nine, thirty years old. They bring back Bruce Brown,
- 9:16Speaker 1: who the last at Bruce Brown looked pretty good is
- 9:18Speaker 1: when he was playing along side of Coola Jokics. They
- 9:20Speaker 1: bring in Tim Hardaway Junr and they trade for Yondis
- 9:22Speaker 1: Valentunas to complete Salary Duff from the Sacramento Kings. Jokis
- 9:26Speaker 1: has never had a center of Nicole Jonas. Valentoons is
- 9:29Speaker 1: caliber to back him up. And I'm not even trying
- 9:31Speaker 1: to gas Valentiunas. He's okay, But that shows you, man,
- 9:35Speaker 1: that boy DeAndre DeAndre Jordan played real playoff minutes for
- 9:39Speaker 1: this team last year. Yonis Valentunas, You'll never ask him
- 9:43Speaker 1: to do too much. If Nicola Jokins is the one
- 9:45Speaker 1: in front of him, Can you give me eight to
- 9:47Speaker 1: ten minutes in the playoffs? Valentnas, Yeah, sign me up.
- 9:51Speaker 1: This has been great, And the criticism that was going
- 9:54Speaker 1: alongside the Cam Johnson trade, some of it is warranted. Right,
- 9:58Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior's younger. Michael port Junius contra it was
- 10:00Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. More so, Michael Port Junior is younger,
- 10:03Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior is a how do I that's a
- 10:08Speaker 1: really good conversation. I'm thinking about the shooting, right, They're
- 10:11Speaker 1: both phenomenal shooters. They're both some of the best shooters
- 10:14Speaker 1: in the league. But because of Michael Porter Junior's size,
- 10:17Speaker 1: maybe it's just a little bit more valuable him as
- 10:19Speaker 1: a shooter. I could be just just talking there. And
- 10:22Speaker 1: they also gave up a twenty thirty two first round pick,
- 10:24Speaker 1: and when that conveys, Jokics is like in his mid thirties,
- 10:28Speaker 1: and my response to that is who the hell cares?
- 10:32Speaker 1: You have the greatest player in the world on your
- 10:34Speaker 1: team right now, you should not give a damn about
- 10:37Speaker 1: anything outside of this current timeline. Yeah, this could not
- 10:40Speaker 1: work and they may not go on to win another championship,
- 10:43Speaker 1: and in twenty thirty two Yokics is out of the
- 10:44Speaker 1: league or on his last leg and end up being
- 10:46Speaker 1: a fifth overall pick. You should not care because you
- 10:49Speaker 1: went for it on the timeline that matters. Reminder this
- 10:53Speaker 1: team when they had Aaron Aaron Gordon playing with a
- 10:57Speaker 1: bad hammy in the last couple of games, I think
- 10:58Speaker 1: it was just hammy and Michael Porter Jr. Had a
- 11:01Speaker 1: fucking shoulder braks on. They took our champion okay see
- 11:04Speaker 1: thunder team to seven And now you're telling me I
- 11:08Speaker 1: get real rotational players. This Nuggets team has not been
- 11:11Speaker 1: a high volume of high fifty three point shoot the team.
- 11:13Speaker 1: They add a guy like Tim Mardiway Jr. Who, let's
- 11:15Speaker 1: be real, could be hot in Kimny Cole, but then
- 11:18Speaker 1: they haven't had that type of guy. Julius Drata kind
- 11:20Speaker 1: of projects to be that, but he it's not really him.
- 11:23Speaker 1: So they add a Tim Hardaway Junior and they get in, Cam,
- 11:26Speaker 1: and because you dropped that extra twenty million dollars in
- 11:28Speaker 1: the trade, well you were able to go sign some
- 11:30Speaker 1: of these dudes on the minimum, and if I'm not mistaken,
- 11:32Speaker 1: they still got a little bit more money than they
- 11:34Speaker 1: could spend. This is great. I think they're better today
- 11:37Speaker 1: than they were two days ago, and I think that's
- 11:38Speaker 1: all it really matters. I think Cam Johnson brings another
- 11:41Speaker 1: level of creation that Michael Porter Junior was never able
- 11:44Speaker 1: to do. He's a better pass than Michael Porter Junr. Defensively.
- 11:47Speaker 1: You can flip a coin there. I think that the
- 11:48Speaker 1: value that Michael Porter Jr. Had as a defender is
- 11:50Speaker 1: that he was taller and longer, so and he also
- 11:53Speaker 1: rebounded a lot better. So this team is smaller today
- 11:55Speaker 1: than they were yesterday. But again they got Yonis Valen
- 11:57Speaker 1: Junas on the team. I just really like the fact
- 11:59Speaker 1: that their starting to do some stuff well. I feel
- 12:01Speaker 1: like the last couple off seasons, after they basically acquired
- 12:04Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon, they were losing more players than they were adding.
- 12:06Speaker 1: In this offseason, It's like, who knows who's gonna go
- 12:09Speaker 1: on with Bruce Brown. Bruce brob basically had one really
- 12:11Speaker 1: good year of his NBA career and that was with Yokic,
- 12:13Speaker 1: so hopefully they can re connect some of that stuff.
- 12:16Speaker 1: So there's a possibility that he's not that good because
- 12:18Speaker 1: the last two years he hasn't been that. But it's
- 12:20Speaker 1: a league minimum contract, so it don't really don't really matter.
- 12:24Speaker 1: So get ready to see some cowboy outfits back in Denver, baby.
- 12:28Speaker 1: And again, Big val only needs to give you ten
- 12:30Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes a game in the regular season, and
- 12:32Speaker 1: in the postseason it's even less because Jokic is just
- 12:35Speaker 1: an iron man and he can play forty plus minutes
- 12:37Speaker 1: on a nightly basis. So really like that. And again,
- 12:39Speaker 1: even though OKC was so good in the regular season
- 12:42Speaker 1: and really good in the postseason as well, there's nothing
- 12:45Speaker 1: about their team that makes you think that nobody else
- 12:47Speaker 1: should be going forward. And the Denver Nuggets are going
- 12:49Speaker 1: for which I think is a win next winner. Houston
- 12:52Speaker 1: Rockets Boyle Boyle boy tray for Kevin Durant. Extend Jabari
- 12:57Speaker 1: Smith Junior still during Finney Smith away. They got him,
- 13:00Speaker 1: I said, as a shooting guard. Got lead still doing
- 13:02Speaker 1: Finny Smith away from the Lakers. Resigned Cella re signed
- 13:06Speaker 1: Steven Adams and bring back Clin Capella, bring back Jay Shawn,
- 13:10Speaker 1: Jeff Green, and Aaron Holliday on minimums. Re Shepherd should
- 13:13Speaker 1: probably get some burn this season. I don't know what
- 13:16Speaker 1: can be said outside of what has already been said
- 13:17Speaker 1: across platforms, but boy, I'm really excited about this Houston
- 13:21Speaker 1: Rockets team. I think they also have some positional versatility
- 13:25Speaker 1: that you saw in the postseason or in the regular
- 13:26Speaker 1: season last year. And now they're adding Kevin Durant. Who
- 13:30Speaker 1: knows that im and Thompson gonna look like a year three.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Who knows what Alfred Shitgun's gonna look like next year
- 13:34Speaker 1: coming off an All Star appearance. So Barr Smith Junior
- 13:36Speaker 1: is just a good ball player. He just got his extension.
- 13:38Speaker 1: I'm just really excited about Houston Rockets. I don't know
- 13:40Speaker 1: if there's anything else to say. Not excited about what
- 13:42Speaker 1: the hell this team is doing, but I digress. Not
- 13:45Speaker 1: currently excited about what this team is doing. But I'm
- 13:48Speaker 1: expecting to sign Yander eight and tomorrow when he clears waivers,
- 13:50Speaker 1: so they won't have Mexican. Mexican lebrisis starting center. Look
- 13:54Speaker 1: at the money, Hey, listen, I don't know what the
- 13:58Speaker 1: heck is going on in Toronto, and if you're a
- 13:59Speaker 1: rap just spanding, you can explain it to me. Please
- 14:02Speaker 1: explain it in the convers section, because this is a
- 14:05Speaker 1: very expensive start and five for a team that it's
- 14:09Speaker 1: not gonna be very good. They gotta be okay. They
- 14:12Speaker 1: might be okay, but I don't know if they're gonna
- 14:15Speaker 1: be you know what I'm saying? Cool? You honest? So
- 14:17Speaker 1: Damian Lillard doesn't have a job currently, and he seems
- 14:20Speaker 1: really excited. He uploaded twice on Instagram since the news
- 14:22Speaker 1: has happened, so he's doing okay. He's doing really okay.
- 14:26Speaker 1: One of the more bizarre situations where I get them,
- 14:30Speaker 1: we get notification that Miles Turner was going to the
- 14:33Speaker 1: Bucks for four years. I think it was one hundred
- 14:35Speaker 1: and seven million dollars, and everybody looked at each other like,
- 14:37Speaker 1: how the hell are they able to pull it off?
- 14:39Speaker 1: And then like two minutes later, we had the Dame news,
- 14:41Speaker 1: and I think in real time I felt bad for
- 14:44Speaker 1: Dame because obviously he had the blood clock, fought his
- 14:47Speaker 1: way back to try to play in the postseason, and
- 14:49Speaker 1: then tore his achilles. It felt like they may have
- 14:50Speaker 1: been doing him dirty, but it seemed like it was
- 14:52Speaker 1: a mutual thing, so I feel less bad about it.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I still don't look at the box and say, oh
- 14:57Speaker 1: my god, here they come to the Eastern Conference, because
- 14:59Speaker 1: that line up that they could run out there, as
- 15:01Speaker 1: cool as it was still your third most important player.
- 15:04Speaker 1: I don't feel great about that future. But you got
- 15:07Speaker 1: to try some things, and they're trying some things. Man,
- 15:11Speaker 1: they're trying. I think I wrapped there. Obviously, gonna be
- 15:15Speaker 1: doing a lot of offseason stuff as things keep rolling in.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Also got podcasts and stuff if you want to get
- 15:19Speaker 1: more opinions. But yeah,
