• 2:00
  Speaker 2: at Yes Spinner is thrilled that they get to watch.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Who's even on Philadelphia? I probably should have looked that up.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It's not I know, h tyree max Maxie. So you
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: know Maxie's probably gonna drop at least thirty points. So
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: if you're looking for some wagering there so, but noan Beid,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: No George Paul George. So get to see a whole
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of Reggie Jackson and Kelly Oopra.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, load management already in full full swing. That's how
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you know the NBA's back. Quiet Leonard, by the way,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: came out today. Out for a few weeks with knee inflammation.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: What are the odds? He's just like in cobble right now,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: getting the call of Hey, you know, Quiet, the season
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: starts today. Yeah, no, no, the regular season. Okay, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: let me just you know, I'll start packing up and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll see in a few weeks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: No, no, we meet you tonight.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We're right, all right, let me, uh, James Harden's gonna
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: have a lot of fun, a lot of fun. Let
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: me run down these games, and you tell me what
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: your interest level is and what fans might find interesting
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: if they were to stumble into a sports bar or
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: if they had NBA League pass or whatever.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Indiana Detroit.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Indiana coming off the Eastern Conference finals. You know a team,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: can they take another step forward? And I'm curious to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: see how Tyreus Halliburton looks this year. The first half
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of last year, he was an All Star and then
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: he has the injury comes back and he you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he was all right, he wasn't great, So you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: is that just because he was still maybe injured possibly
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: or can we see him take another next step before
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the scene? And of course Detroit, who had an abysmal year,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: a new coach, new GM have a lot of fun
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: names in the roster. They could be a fun league
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: pass team to watch. But we'll be curious to see
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: how they look to start the season. Okay Cleveland at Toronto. Okay,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Cavaliers a team that I think we expected more this
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: past season. You know, of course Chared Allen, the former
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Texas Longhorn.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: With them.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Evan Mobley still will kind of figure out where is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: he at, what's his ceiling as an NBA player. So
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Cavaliers team that I think has aspirations to, you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: be a top four team in the East, but also
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a team that you know, sneakily may end up being
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a trade candidate team for Donovan Mitchell if things aren't
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: working out first half of the year, probably going to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: hear some trade room or start the Heat up with
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell or possibly other players on the team, So
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: curious to see what happens with them, including Darius Carlin.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Right we mentioned Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Orlando.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: At Miami Magic a team kind of like the Thunder
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: where you know, they have a young roster, Paula Ben Carroll.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: They just went ahead and re signed Suggs to a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: lot of money thirty three million dollars a year. But
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Magic team who's big move this offseason was adding con
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Davis Caldwell Pope. They're They're a team that I'm curious,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you know, if we get to the trade deadline, you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and they're kind of stuffing around the top, or if
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: they're not sniffing around the top, what moves are in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: place for them? Because they have a good core Craig,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But I still look at the roster, I think there's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: still one player away from being a true contender in
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. But a fun fun thing to watch
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: in Miami, I know, I know Spolstra and Heat culture
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: had done it year after year that they take a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: team that you don't think is going to be good
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and make them and they go all the way to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the conference finals.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Or sometimes the NBA Finals.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think the East is too good
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and the rest of the league is starting to catch
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: up to them.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Let's see what else we got, Bulls, Pelicans, you express
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: him interesting.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Alonzo Ball Finally, you know, he's been out for
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the last I think at least two years.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: You know, I was hitting knee injury.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I really hope that for his sake and for us
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: NBA fans, that he's like at least eighty percent of
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: what he used to be. Of course, you know, with
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: knee injuries like that, you don't know. Of course, Chicago
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: fans know a lot about that. With Derek Rose, you
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: know who his MVP, goes down with that knee injury
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in the second round and was never really the same
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: d Rose as he was before that. And a New
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Orleans team that has a fun roster Zion Williams, Trey Murphy,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Herb Jones, Brandon Ingram, CJ. McCollum, but a team that
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: has always just underachieved. Now Scion's coming in the best
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: shape he's been in his entire career. But a team
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that wanted the trade brandon Ingram this summer could not
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: find any suitors, so we'll see what he's like in
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the locker room for that. But a New Orleans team
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that wants to be an actual playoff team, not a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: playing team, but again a team that I'm watching when
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: it comes to the trade deadline. Okay, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Brooklyn
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: who is tanking.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: They have I think two first round drafts.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Eddie Orrin, who is in their employees, said they have
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: four first round draft four four, which is an NBA record.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Well I'm curious what the protections are on those, but yeah,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Gi the Nets who are going to be just got
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: awful this upcoming year.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: They're going to be brutal to watch. And Atlanta, you know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you like, if you like Tree Young
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: by the way, Okay, so Nets, they have the next
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: pick no protections that came for the mckel bridges trade, who,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: by the way, absolutely awful last night. They have Milwaukee's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: first round pick that's a top four protection, and then
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: they have a pick swap with ok C, Houston or Phoenix.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: A lot going on, and then they have their own
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: first round draft picks. So Milwaukee, who is not going
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to be a bottom four team, the next no protection,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: which is absolutely wild then twenty twenty four, there's no
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: protections on a draft pick, but the next should be
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a playoff team. Yeah, you're thinking that'll be in the twenties.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee's pick will be in the twenties. Their own pick
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: should be lottery for sure. And then twenty twenty five,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: okay See has to right the swap its first round
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: draft pick for Houston's first round pick, which is top
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: ten protected, or the clippers twenty twenty five first round pick,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: which is going to be a good pick because they're
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: going to absolutely stink. And then Houston has the right
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the swap back its pick to okay See or to Brooklyn.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: A lot going on there. You definitely lost me, but
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: they have at least three picks.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I asked Memphis at UTAK. A lot of people
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: are sleeping on Memphis.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: This is the team that two years ago was the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: number one seed with John Moran, and then injuries kind
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: of picked up with him and other players on the team.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And then last year, of course, he goes in he
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: suspended for all the gun stuff going on. Right, he
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: comes back, they look actually decent when he was there,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and then he's out for the entire season. But Can
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: they stay healthy? Can Jaron Jackson stay healthy? He's already injured.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: But you know that they made some good moves. They
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: have Marcus Smart. There's a team that I think is
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the oh hey, we forgot about them team going into
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I'm really highe.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Memphis light me round onto Golden State Portland, and then
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Phoenix at the Clippers.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Golden State just fun. The watch for Steph. That's about it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Phoenix Clippers fun. The watch for Katie. That's about it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Up next, we'll talk about the Vanderbilt Commodores with their
• 9:20
