Ranking NBA Teams With The Best Future · Kenny For Real

0:00
Speaker 1: If you were just going to rank NBA teams based
0:02
Speaker 1: on the next three years, the three year outlook, who'll
0:04
Speaker 1: be number one and who'll be number thirty. We're figuring
0:07
Speaker 1: that out today. That's exactly what the NBA insiders did
0:10
Speaker 1: over on ESPN and this one. They consider the players
0:12
Speaker 1: that are on the roster, the amount of money they
0:15
Speaker 1: have to spend, the draft assets that they have, the
0:19
Speaker 1: market that they're in, and then the management, the good
0:22
Speaker 1: gms and scouts across the league.
0:24
Speaker 2: And I'm excited to see where everyone falls.
0:26
Speaker 1: This video is brought to you by cash Out And
0:28
Speaker 1: when I tell you about the cash app car, here's
0:30
Speaker 1: a video of me using the cash apt personalization. The
0:33
Speaker 1: cash app card is a debit card attached to your
0:36
Speaker 1: cash app balance. As you can see, you can pick
0:38
Speaker 1: from a bunch of different colors. You can customize to
0:41
Speaker 1: fit your style and make it unique.
0:44
Speaker 2: Just for you like I did.
0:45
Speaker 1: But it's not just about the cool personalization aspect of
0:47
Speaker 1: having the car. You also get exclusive card holder discounts
0:51
Speaker 1: on things like coffee, food delivery, video games, and more.
0:55
Speaker 1: If you like to get out and have some fun
0:56
Speaker 1: with some music. Cash app is also partnered with some
0:59
Speaker 1: of the best artist tours out there, like Kenjudy Lamarro, Siza,
1:03
Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter, Drake Chapelone. The list goes on and on,
1:08
Speaker 1: and with that, cash Up car owners get exclusive pre
1:11
Speaker 1: sale before everybody else.
1:13
Speaker 2: Gets an opportunity to get the tickets.
1:14
Speaker 1: But the thing that matters to me the most is
1:16
Speaker 1: the no hidden feest, the top of the line security,
1:20
Speaker 1: the no fee overdraft coverage. If you direct to positive
1:23
Speaker 1: least three hundred dollars in paychecks a month, you unlock
1:25
Speaker 1: up to two hundred dollars and free overdraft coverage. And
1:29
Speaker 1: if you overdraft unexpectedly, there's no hidden fee to worry about.
1:33
Speaker 1: Full limited time only new cash At customers can earn
1:35
Speaker 1: ten dollars if they use code cash in ten and
1:38
Speaker 1: their profile at sign up and send five dollars to
1:41
Speaker 1: a friend within fourteen days. Terms apply. So shout out
1:44
Speaker 1: again to cash Out for sponsoring this video. I feel
1:47
Speaker 1: like the top let's say three teams should be pretty easy.
1:51
Speaker 1: I think OKC should be number one. I feel like
1:55
Speaker 1: the Rockets should be somewhere in that top three. Actually,
1:58
Speaker 1: I don't know who else will be in there, maybe
2:00
Speaker 1: maybe the Calves. Let's let's find out again, these are
2:03
Speaker 1: from the NBA inside, so it's not one specific person.
2:06
Speaker 1: They had a bunch of different people, including Kevin Pelton
2:09
Speaker 1: and Bobby Marx and Tim Bontemps. Give their examples or
2:13
Speaker 1: reasons why they have certain things.
2:15
Speaker 2: Well, the Spurs find themselves.
2:16
Speaker 1: That's a good question, because we Minyama by himself might
2:18
Speaker 1: be good enough for tap thigh. Let's see, we got
2:21
Speaker 1: number one on the list should be of course, the
2:22
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. They got number one in players to
2:24
Speaker 1: make sense, they got the MVP of the league and
2:26
Speaker 1: All NBA and All defensive player in j dub and
2:28
Speaker 1: another guy in Chet Homer who should make an all
2:30
Speaker 1: defensive team if he stays healthy. Not to mention some
2:33
Speaker 1: of the dogs they got on defense with a Caruso
2:36
Speaker 1: or Door like, this team should be good for the
2:38
Speaker 1: next three seasons and maybe have the opportunity to repeat.
2:41
Speaker 1: I know we haven't had a repeat champion over the
2:42
Speaker 1: last like eight or so years. I think okay See
2:45
Speaker 1: definitely has a chance. The money aspect is that twenty
2:48
Speaker 1: eighth because yeah, it makes sense, Shay is on the MAX.
2:50
Speaker 1: They did just give Check and Dub both MAX extensions
2:53
Speaker 1: we know that Isaiah Hartenstein basically got like a one
2:56
Speaker 1: year left table with a time table with the team,
2:59
Speaker 1: So the money is a bit close, but like the
3:02
Speaker 1: team is so young that they can make it work
3:03
Speaker 1: and then the market is small. But at the end
3:05
Speaker 1: of the day, that don't matter that much. Number two
3:07
Speaker 1: on the list, they do have the Houston Rocket, So
3:09
Speaker 1: I was right about that. They got number two in
3:11
Speaker 1: players over the next three seasons, number twenty one in money,
3:14
Speaker 1: five in draft capital, number eight in market, and fourign management.
3:18
Speaker 1: I do think that if you think about when the
3:21
Speaker 1: James Harden trade happened, in the assets or lack of
3:23
Speaker 1: assets they got for the James hard And trade, it's
3:26
Speaker 1: you know, I can't even really say lack of assets
3:28
Speaker 1: with that trade. I know that they didn't get like
3:30
Speaker 1: no real in the door talent, but like you know,
3:33
Speaker 1: they got some picks as that end up top top five,
3:36
Speaker 1: and then you know we able to parlay one of
3:38
Speaker 1: those picks to go get other picks. So I can't
3:40
Speaker 1: say that that was a super awful trade. But like considering,
3:44
Speaker 1: you know, one of the two greatest players in a
3:45
Speaker 1: franchise history still really good at what he does, I
3:48
Speaker 1: feel like there could have been more, But the fact
3:50
Speaker 1: that they've been able to take that and still be
3:52
Speaker 1: at this point where like a lot of people look
3:53
Speaker 1: at them as contenders is pretty pretty dope. Next we
3:56
Speaker 1: got the next Okay, So I was wondering what that
3:59
Speaker 1: next team is going to be, and it is the Knicks.
4:01
Speaker 1: So the Calves gotta be no further than number four.
4:04
Speaker 1: They got number five and players number twenty nine and money. Yeah,
4:06
Speaker 1: this is the second eight per team, number twenty seven
4:08
Speaker 1: in draft capital. Yeah, they gave a lot of it
4:10
Speaker 1: to get m Michel Bridges on the team. Number two
4:12
Speaker 1: in market and number nine and management. Leon Rose has
4:14
Speaker 1: definitely come in and changed some things. Earlier in my
4:17
Speaker 1: lifetime as an NBA fan, the New York Knicks where
4:18
Speaker 1: one of the laughing stocks in basketball.
4:20
Speaker 2: It never can get it right.
4:21
Speaker 1: They got one of the owners that want to put
4:22
Speaker 1: his foot in the door and put a stamp on
4:24
Speaker 1: the team where he didn't really need to do that.
4:26
Speaker 2: They let Leon Rose cook up.
4:27
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunton is one of the best stars in ball
4:29
Speaker 1: and they've put together a good team around him and
4:31
Speaker 1: they should be a contender this season. Number four, Okay,
4:33
Speaker 1: So yes, we do get the Calves here, all right, cool, cool, No,
4:36
Speaker 1: no disrespect to the Calves.
4:37
Speaker 2: They're here.
4:38
Speaker 1: Number three in players, number thirty in money. Yeah, yeah,
4:43
Speaker 1: Evin Mobley's has got the money. Yeah, that makes sense
4:45
Speaker 1: to me. Number twenty five in draft assets, number twenty four,
4:48
Speaker 1: market number six, and man, but it really is about
4:50
Speaker 1: the players. Again, over the next three years, you would assume,
4:53
Speaker 1: I know, progression is never really linear or is really linear,
4:56
Speaker 1: but you would assume that Evan Mobley continues to get better.
4:59
Speaker 1: You assume that a lot of guys on the roster,
5:01
Speaker 1: you know, have more cohesion and so on. They could
5:03
Speaker 1: get out of that second round. It's got to be
5:05
Speaker 1: the year, right, It's got to be the year number
5:07
Speaker 1: five they got clear Oh they got Clippers number five,
5:10
Speaker 1: number twelve in players. That seems kind of low, but
5:14
Speaker 1: oh it's again, three year outlook, three year outlook. Some
5:17
Speaker 1: of the people on that roster not even gonna be
5:18
Speaker 1: in the league in three years. Shout out to my goat,
5:21
Speaker 1: be happy, Chris Paul, he's pretty much done money number five. Okay,
5:27
Speaker 1: that's news to me. Let's see exactly what the second
5:29
Speaker 1: version boosts flexibility and reshape the roster. Starting in twenty
5:32
Speaker 1: twenty seven, the only center Zubats on a guaranteed contract,
5:36
Speaker 1: LA could boast up to one hundred and forty million
5:39
Speaker 1: dollars in cap space that summer. Wow, Okay, you learn
5:42
Speaker 1: something new every single day.
5:42
Speaker 2: So yeah, the money being number five makes sense.
5:44
Speaker 1: Draft capital is not very high, especially if this investigation
5:48
Speaker 1: with Kawhi and that draft capital might drop a.
5:51
Speaker 2: Little bit more. We know what the market is in LA.
5:53
Speaker 1: And then yeah, their management group, the fact that they
5:55
Speaker 1: continue to make the playoffs time and time again under
5:57
Speaker 1: the Chris Paul era, the no Chris Paul era to
6:01
Speaker 1: you know, the Kawhi Paul George era. And then now
6:04
Speaker 1: in this era was Kawhi James Harden is Zoo And
6:06
Speaker 1: then yeah, when Kawhi James Harden is done, it just
6:09
Speaker 1: a Zoo era. They're probably gonna be a playoff team.
6:11
Speaker 1: That's just who they are and that's good management group.
6:14
Speaker 1: Number six the Golden State Warriors. I'm genuinely surprised to
6:18
Speaker 1: see the Warriors this high. They got number ten players,
6:22
Speaker 1: number eighteen in money. I know a lot of these
6:24
Speaker 1: contracts come off the book in twenty twenty seven drafted,
6:27
Speaker 1: they're number seventeen, market is four and management is five.
6:32
Speaker 1: Can I ask you it's a genuine question this Mike
6:35
Speaker 1: Dunleavy Junior deserves to have management being five. Like, have
6:38
Speaker 1: we been super really like super impressed since Mike Dunlavy
6:41
Speaker 1: has taken over the Warriors. You let me know. I
6:45
Speaker 1: know why I sit here. I can't say that he's
6:47
Speaker 1: number five. I mean, I guess it's more like an
6:50
Speaker 1: umbrella thing. It's not necessarily about the singular GM. But
6:53
Speaker 1: it's not like they've drafted amazingly over the last decade
6:56
Speaker 1: or so. Like they got some hits. Don't get me wrong,
6:57
Speaker 1: they got some hits. But their management being five, that's
7:00
Speaker 1: pretty high. I'm not saying it should be thirty now,
7:03
Speaker 1: but that seems pretty high. Next week got the Orlando Magic.
7:07
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Magic. They're number six and players
7:09
Speaker 1: number twenty seven. The money, yeah, Franz, Palo, Desmond Bine
7:14
Speaker 1: all on really big contracts. Jalen Sugg signed what was
7:17
Speaker 1: either a max extension or close to max extension I
7:19
Speaker 1: don't remember, so the money is not really there. They
7:21
Speaker 1: gave up a lot of draft capital. Go get dezim Baine.
7:23
Speaker 1: The market is right in the middle, and then the
7:25
Speaker 1: management is at thirteen. Okay, I'm not mad at It's
7:28
Speaker 1: really about the players got them as high because you
7:31
Speaker 1: think about the three year outlook pallelm and Carrol's progression,
7:33
Speaker 1: Franz Vogular really good in EuroBasket, can some of that
7:36
Speaker 1: continued to translate to his NBA and then Desien Banin
7:38
Speaker 1: is kind of like a perfect fit alongside those two
7:40
Speaker 1: big wings that like to get to the basket. So
7:42
Speaker 1: I understand the players carrying heavily here. I want to
7:44
Speaker 1: see that center position get booked up. Maybe that is
7:47
Speaker 1: window Carter having a bounce back season after he was
7:49
Speaker 1: a very good last season. But I feel like that
7:52
Speaker 1: center position is the last piece of the puzzle for them,
7:54
Speaker 1: and I don't know who it is next. We got
7:56
Speaker 1: the LA Lakers, who are ninth in players. Are we
7:59
Speaker 1: assuming is playing for the next three seasons? Is it
8:02
Speaker 1: crazy to assume anything else? Considering what Lebron has been
8:04
Speaker 1: doing for the last twenty three years. The money is
8:07
Speaker 1: number six, and that's one of the reasons why they
8:09
Speaker 1: had they hadn't done any big time things around Lukadancias
8:12
Speaker 1: because they are also a team that's gonna have a
8:13
Speaker 1: crazy amount of money to spend in twenty twenty seven
8:16
Speaker 1: if everything goes well. Twenty three in draft capitol, number
8:18
Speaker 1: one in market, number seventeen in management.
8:21
Speaker 2: I've been very critical over Rob Polinka.
8:23
Speaker 1: For Rob Polinka since twenty twenty one, you take some
8:26
Speaker 1: of that back because he got handed Luka Dancis. But
8:28
Speaker 1: now it's like, Okay, now we got Lukadancs, what else
8:30
Speaker 1: can we really do?
8:31
Speaker 2: I do think that's seventeen.
8:32
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out if I like that range
8:34
Speaker 1: for the Rob Polenka team over there.
8:36
Speaker 2: I don't know.
8:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta see what are your other teams. Land
8:39
Speaker 1: Number nine is the Denver Nuggets, where they got number
8:43
Speaker 1: four players, number twenty five in money, number twenty nine
8:46
Speaker 1: in draft capitol because they did give up a twenty
8:48
Speaker 1: thirty one to go get Cam Johnson. So they just
8:51
Speaker 1: they're so far down the line in draft capitol and
8:53
Speaker 1: I can't even say they're wrong. But now, well, you've
8:54
Speaker 1: got the best player in the world, you gotta do
8:56
Speaker 1: what you gotta do to put the best team around them.
8:58
Speaker 1: Market is eighteen and management is twenty one. Management being
9:00
Speaker 1: twenty one is pretty interesting because They basically got new
9:03
Speaker 1: management in there over the last season when they fired
9:06
Speaker 1: their guys, So I guess we don't really know.
9:08
Speaker 2: Two too much.
9:10
Speaker 1: I know that they kind of promoted within. I don't
9:12
Speaker 1: think they still I still don't think they have a.
9:14
Speaker 2: GM right now.
9:15
Speaker 1: I think they just have two people in different spots
9:17
Speaker 1: that are working together as the GM. I still know
9:19
Speaker 1: how often we see that happen, and it's a little
9:22
Speaker 1: bit scary, but also front office titles feel like who.
9:25
Speaker 2: Is the president of basketball operations? Who is the GM?
9:28
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
9:30
Speaker 1: But they are number nine, number ten. This is where
9:33
Speaker 1: we find the Spurs with eight and players. They have
9:36
Speaker 1: fourteen in money, eleven in draft. They are sixteen in
9:40
Speaker 1: market and fifteen in management. I actually thought the draft
9:44
Speaker 1: would be a little bit higher. They do have an
9:46
Speaker 1: extra asset that they brought in for the Rob Dillingham trade.
9:49
Speaker 2: I think they might.
9:50
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've used all of their Atlanta
9:52
Speaker 1: Hawks picks from the original Johntay Murray trade. The players
9:56
Speaker 1: being eight makes sense though women Yam's Karry and out
10:00
Speaker 1: of that, And again, if we're doing a three year timeline,
10:02
Speaker 1: we're hoping that's the fodcast or can you just get better?
10:04
Speaker 1: You're hoping that you know Dylan Harper where you drafted him,
10:07
Speaker 1: He's really the real deal in the d M.
10:09
Speaker 2: Fox just signed his extension as well.
10:11
Speaker 1: So yeah, the players over again over the next three
10:13
Speaker 1: seasons makes sense. Next we got the Wolves where they
10:17
Speaker 1: have players at seven money at twenty six draft at
10:20
Speaker 1: twenty eight market at thirty. I thought that the the
10:25
Speaker 1: Mifits Grizasies were smaller market than Minnesota.
10:28
Speaker 2: I'm tripping, I'm tripping.
10:29
Speaker 1: I guess management at teim Hey, they have Anthony Ewards.
10:33
Speaker 2: Is that enough?
10:34
Speaker 1: Is that enough over the next three seasons? Can you
10:36
Speaker 1: say confidently anybody outside of Anthony Edwards and maybe Jada
10:40
Speaker 1: McDaniels is on the team in three years? Can you
10:42
Speaker 1: say that confidence?
10:43
Speaker 2: Do you believe? Maybe Nasri shout out Nasri.
10:46
Speaker 1: Can you say that you believe Rudy go Bear is
10:48
Speaker 1: gonna be there, or Julius randel Forsh is gonna be there,
10:50
Speaker 1: or Docted Di Vincenzo or Mike Coley. It really is
10:53
Speaker 1: kind of like the Anthony Edwards thing. And I trust it,
10:56
Speaker 1: I trust it. I'm sorry, I trusted number twelve is
10:59
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks. Wow, they were one of the biggest jumps.
11:01
Speaker 1: They were twenty three last season or I don't know
11:03
Speaker 1: when the last ranking.
11:05
Speaker 2: They're fourteen in players. They're not in money, so interesting.
11:10
Speaker 1: Okay, they're seven in draft, they're eleven in marketing and
11:13
Speaker 1: eleventh eleventh in management. Where's that money coming from? And
11:17
Speaker 1: my bugget, I guess Trey Young has not signed an extension.
11:20
Speaker 1: Poor Zingis is on the last year of his deal,
11:23
Speaker 1: and those are the bigger contracts. I mean, Jalen Johnson
11:25
Speaker 1: sign an extension, but that's not a huge contract, so
11:27
Speaker 1: I guess that makes sense. The drafting is where it
11:29
Speaker 1: gets really interesting, because I'm gonna keep talking about it
11:31
Speaker 1: until they proved me wrong.
11:32
Speaker 2: The trade that they made on draft night that Derek Queen.
11:35
Speaker 1: For the the best of the Bucks slash Pelicans pick,
11:39
Speaker 1: who might be the best traded ass set this offseason,
11:42
Speaker 1: but who knows, Maybe the Pelicans surprize, maybe they don't,
11:44
Speaker 1: but that pick looks really juicy, and the Atlanta Hawks
11:47
Speaker 1: are the team that has that pick right now.
11:49
Speaker 2: The Boss itself is still high on this list.
11:50
Speaker 1: They were previously ranking number two, and obviously we know
11:52
Speaker 1: second Apron hit them, and they had the gut house
11:55
Speaker 1: of a Drew Holliday, of a Al Horford, of a
11:58
Speaker 1: poor zingis I steal thirteen players, twelve in money, eighteen
12:03
Speaker 1: in draft nine, in market in eight management. I've said
12:07
Speaker 1: this before on the podcast that I think this is
12:09
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting, or like could be one
12:12
Speaker 1: of the more impactful non championship seasons in Boston Celtics history.
12:18
Speaker 1: This is a time where they have their own first
12:20
Speaker 1: round pick and their best player on the team is
12:22
Speaker 1: out for the entire year with an achilles injury. So
12:25
Speaker 1: this could be a year if they want to play
12:27
Speaker 1: it this way where they bridge the gap retain their
12:29
Speaker 1: own first round pick, it ends up being less say
12:31
Speaker 1: top ten, because they are bad. I'm not saying that
12:34
Speaker 1: they will be bad, but this is like one of
12:36
Speaker 1: the different cross roads that could go they're bad, the
12:38
Speaker 1: season they retain a top ten pick, get a little
12:41
Speaker 1: bit of draftlucking.
12:41
Speaker 2: Just like that, you're looking at a Jason Tatum.
12:44
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, and Darren Peterson team, or just another top
12:50
Speaker 1: ten pick that you can help build around with the James.
12:52
Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting way to kind of think
12:55
Speaker 1: about it. It is a risky way to think about it,
12:57
Speaker 1: but that's the way I wull try to right it. Hey,
13:00
Speaker 1: I like to take that risk. Fourteen Miami Heat eighteen
13:04
Speaker 1: and players ten in money nineteen and draft fifth and
13:07
Speaker 1: market three in management?
13:11
Speaker 2: Huh? Are we are we just giving? Hm?
13:20
Speaker 1: I just can't say that I've been extremely impressed with
13:23
Speaker 1: the management group of the Miami Heat over the last
13:27
Speaker 1: four to five seasons.
13:28
Speaker 2: Let's say, Kenny, in the last.
13:30
Speaker 1: Five seasons, they made two championships twenty twenty and then
13:33
Speaker 1: a one against the Nuggets.
13:34
Speaker 2: I know, I know they did.
13:36
Speaker 1: I know they did, and yet I still don't know
13:39
Speaker 1: if I feel like they're top three management group in basketball?
13:44
Speaker 2: Am I bugging? Am I bug I don't know?
13:48
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't.
13:48
Speaker 2: I don't know.
13:50
Speaker 1: Historically, don't get me wrong, pat Riley been and King
13:53
Speaker 1: of Kings. But again, we're just looking at if his
13:57
Speaker 1: name was not pat Riley and his name was oh
14:00
Speaker 1: Smoke and he did exact same moves over the last
14:03
Speaker 1: three seasons, do you believe that we would say that
14:05
Speaker 1: that's the top three management group. The resume is the resume,
14:07
Speaker 1: and I'm not taking none of that away. That man
14:09
Speaker 1: is one of the most winnings GM's coaches. All I
14:11
Speaker 1: would never do that, but again, just based on the
14:14
Speaker 1: last couple of years, his name is not pat Riley,
14:18
Speaker 1: his name is Kenny Beacham. Guess who can fired Kenny Beacham?
14:22
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
14:24
Speaker 1: Next week got the Indiana Pacers coming off two conference
14:27
Speaker 1: finals appearance to one NBA Championshi appears they got to
14:29
Speaker 1: be number fifteen.
14:30
Speaker 2: I know this year is like a gap year. Shout
14:31
Speaker 2: out to Tyres Haliberg and get well soon. The twentieth in.
14:35
Speaker 1: Money, fourteenth in draft, which I think that might mean,
14:38
Speaker 1: like if they're like in this range draft, I think
14:40
Speaker 1: that might just mean that they have pretty much all
14:42
Speaker 1: of their own first round picks. I could be mistaken
14:43
Speaker 1: there though. Twenty two market, seventh and management see I
14:48
Speaker 1: think that the Pacer management group is underrated for them
14:51
Speaker 1: to be in the twenty second market and has.
14:53
Speaker 2: Not missed the playoffs or have been a playoff team for.
14:56
Speaker 1: Almost every year over the last twenty years, and now
14:58
Speaker 1: has the NBA's finals appearance.
15:00
Speaker 2: It's in a conference finals appearance.
15:01
Speaker 1: To say that, like, there's some real stuff going on here.
15:03
Speaker 1: Think about all of the smaller trades they've done and
15:05
Speaker 1: you're like, oh shit, they really helped the scene, the
15:07
Speaker 1: drafting of the Nimhar, the tray of Aaron E. Smith,
15:10
Speaker 1: the people mean the moment they did it, whereas Malcolm
15:12
Speaker 1: brock to going to the Celtics for nothing, like they've
15:15
Speaker 1: done really good shit, you know, like I next, we
15:20
Speaker 1: got the Dallas Mavericks. They were number five recently, but
15:23
Speaker 1: you know, they did some stuff.
15:24
Speaker 2: Obviously. It's still a really.
15:25
Speaker 1: Interesting team though, even without Luca being there. Eleven the players,
15:30
Speaker 1: twenty fourth in money, twenty first in draft capital, tenth
15:33
Speaker 1: and market, twentieth in management. Nico Nico Nico. I wonder
15:38
Speaker 1: if I could go back and read the last time
15:40
Speaker 1: they did this where they were number five, was Nico
15:43
Speaker 1: Harrison's management group higher than twenty? I feel like they
15:45
Speaker 1: had to be top ten. I guess it depends on
15:47
Speaker 1: when you did it. Because the day your Gafford trade
15:49
Speaker 1: was really good, that PCE Washington trades really good, and
15:51
Speaker 1: then they made the finals and you take all of
15:53
Speaker 1: that resume away. It was like, because one major mistake,
15:56
Speaker 1: but it's still a really interesting roster. If Kyrie Irvan
15:59
Speaker 1: could come back at some point, but like, I just
16:02
Speaker 1: don't know ACL injuries. I never expect the person coming
16:05
Speaker 1: back from an ACO injury to be really good immediately.
16:08
Speaker 2: I would expect even if.
16:09
Speaker 1: If Kyrie came back in March of this season, I
16:11
Speaker 1: don't expect to see normal Kyrie to the beginning of
16:14
Speaker 1: next season. That's just my opinion. I just don't think
16:16
Speaker 1: ACL injuries are something you just come back from, Like, hey,
16:19
Speaker 1: I'm back to average of twenty six on fifty forty ninety.
16:21
Speaker 1: Like that's hard, that's really hard to do. Miphis Grazies
16:24
Speaker 1: are seventeen. They are sixteen and players seventeen, in money
16:28
Speaker 1: eight and draft twenty three.
16:29
Speaker 2: In market.
16:30
Speaker 1: My market skills all messed up. Why did I think
16:33
Speaker 1: that this was the smallest market in the league. They
16:34
Speaker 1: got it at twenty three. How they gauge in the
16:36
Speaker 1: smallest market in the league. It's isn't literally, just like
16:38
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know management
16:40
Speaker 1: at fourteen. This is a team I don't really have
16:42
Speaker 1: many opinions about right now. So we move the Brooklyn.
16:46
Speaker 1: The Detroit Pisses are next, where they have seventeen and
16:49
Speaker 1: players eight and money thirteen in draft twenty fifth in
16:52
Speaker 1: market and.
16:52
Speaker 2: Eighteen in management.
16:54
Speaker 1: I guess this number of players should go up, or
16:56
Speaker 1: you hope to have to go up if one of
16:58
Speaker 1: the other guys, a Saw or Adoring or Ivy or
17:02
Speaker 1: a Ron Holland for that matter, if one of them
17:04
Speaker 1: takes a big jump the season. Because right now it
17:06
Speaker 1: is Kay Cunningham and really intriguing young players, you want
17:09
Speaker 1: one of them to be like, oh, I'm the guy
17:12
Speaker 1: next to Kid, I'm the next most important player, and
17:14
Speaker 1: I think out of all of them, I we're gonna
17:15
Speaker 1: take a guess who is gonna be. I think all
17:17
Speaker 1: of us believe in the sar Thompson. Maybe it's him.
17:20
Speaker 1: I hope it's him, But you want, like just one
17:22
Speaker 1: other guy, like that guy's a future All Star. I
17:24
Speaker 1: don't think you have that on the roster right now,
17:25
Speaker 1: at least based on what we've seen so far. But
17:28
Speaker 1: I think Asar Thompson is one of those guys. And
17:30
Speaker 1: like you remember, he missed a lot of the last
17:32
Speaker 1: two seasons with a blood cloud issue. With that, you
17:34
Speaker 1: can't even work out, You can't even be in the gym.
17:37
Speaker 2: You know.
17:37
Speaker 1: Sometimes a player has an injury, but he's still getting
17:39
Speaker 1: up shots. You can't really do that with his his
17:41
Speaker 1: ailment that he had, So he's basically a year and
17:44
Speaker 1: a half, a half a year or eight months behind
17:47
Speaker 1: everybody else in this draft class as far as how
17:49
Speaker 1: much workout working out he's been able to do, and
17:53
Speaker 1: I trust him. The seventy six ers are at nineteen.
17:55
Speaker 1: They were previously number four, dang dude. Also a big
18:00
Speaker 1: jump up from the Detroit Pistons. You got to respect it.
18:03
Speaker 1: They were number four. They're nineteen and players twenty three
18:06
Speaker 1: in money, fourteen in Draft fourteen market, and then management
18:11
Speaker 1: is sixteen. And that's a tough falloff, man. I did
18:13
Speaker 1: see the pictures of Jolan B. He looks really good.
18:15
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times it's going to fall
18:17
Speaker 1: for that, not just specifically with Jorlan B, but I
18:19
Speaker 1: am a guy that notoriously will fall for a good
18:20
Speaker 1: offseason workout clip. I ain't gonna lie, and I think
18:23
Speaker 1: I might be doing it again with Joe Joe. I
18:25
Speaker 1: think they could be higher. They have a really intriguing
18:28
Speaker 1: young core with a Maxi and McCain, edge Combe and Grimes.
18:32
Speaker 2: When he eventually comes.
18:33
Speaker 1: Back to the roster, all of those guys play very
18:36
Speaker 1: similar positions. I've recognize that, but I feel like over
18:39
Speaker 1: the next three seasons this could be a little bit higher.
18:42
Speaker 1: Could be the Toronto Rapts are number twenty. They pretty
18:45
Speaker 1: much take the same they were twenty two last season.
18:46
Speaker 1: They were twenty first in players, nineteen in money, twelfth
18:50
Speaker 1: in draft, thirteenth in market, and twenty fourth in management.
18:53
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of that management is because like
18:56
Speaker 1: Messiah is gone and it's like Bobby Webster who got
18:59
Speaker 1: promoted from within.
19:01
Speaker 2: It's a really interesting team.
19:02
Speaker 1: I think that it's just one of those teams that
19:05
Speaker 1: there's so many I guess questions with how every piece
19:09
Speaker 1: fits together to make the perfect puzzle. I mentioned this
19:12
Speaker 1: on the show. We don't really know much. We haven't
19:15
Speaker 1: seen the best out of Darker ray Akovic's system because
19:18
Speaker 1: I feel like it's very rare to he's been able
19:20
Speaker 1: to have a fully healthy roster, and I think that
19:22
Speaker 1: going into next season that everybody that from the Purdles
19:25
Speaker 1: to the Ingrams, to the bear Its to the Barnses
19:29
Speaker 1: and quick Lit's, I think they're all gonna be healthy
19:30
Speaker 1: for like the first time ever. So I'm curious to
19:32
Speaker 1: see what that looks like.
19:34
Speaker 2: The Bucks. Yeah, the Bucks.
19:37
Speaker 1: Over the next three years, Man, it's gonna be rough.
19:39
Speaker 1: As long as Gianness is there, we feel good. But
19:41
Speaker 1: over the next three years, can we say that one
19:44
Speaker 1: hundred percent certainty?
19:45
Speaker 2: I don't know.
19:45
Speaker 1: They're twentything players, sixteen of money, twenty six in draft, damn,
19:49
Speaker 1: seventeen in market, and then nineteen in management. Hey, man,
19:56
Speaker 1: honest is on the roster right now, Troudblazers over and
20:00
Speaker 1: again we're talking about next three seasons, A twenty second
20:02
Speaker 1: player to eleventh and money tenth and draft, twentieth in
20:05
Speaker 1: market and twenty six in management.
20:08
Speaker 2: As we can say these last.
20:09
Speaker 1: Couple, I just don't know how much I really have
20:11
Speaker 1: to say they were thirtieth.
20:13
Speaker 2: So what a big jump for the Blazers.
20:15
Speaker 1: I really believe in Donovan Klingen as a defensive anchor
20:18
Speaker 1: at this level of basketball. Can't wait to see him
20:20
Speaker 1: play thirty minutes a game hopefully one day. School Henderson
20:23
Speaker 1: has a lot left on his plate that he needs
20:26
Speaker 1: to get out there and get after. I think it's
20:29
Speaker 1: gonna be a interesting thing because last year at the
20:31
Speaker 1: last months and it's tough to really gauge the team
20:34
Speaker 1: based on March and after that, the defense looked really good,
20:37
Speaker 1: and you think about Deny, you think about Tomani and
20:39
Speaker 1: Donovan Klingan that defense should stay, especially considering their coach.
20:44
Speaker 2: Chaunsea is one of the ones when they come to defense.
20:47
Speaker 1: Bro, he cares about defense more than he'd be okaym
20:50
Speaker 1: fas team with thirty if they prevented the other team
20:54
Speaker 1: from going one of thirty, you know what I mean?
20:56
Speaker 2: Like like that defense is number one priority for him.
20:58
Speaker 1: He don't give a damn if the lineup that he's
21:00
Speaker 1: trotting out can't score, but if they can defend, he
21:03
Speaker 1: think he got a chance. Hey, Charlott Horne is number
21:05
Speaker 1: twenty three. They're twenty fifth in players. I realized, I
21:08
Speaker 1: haven't seen my bulls yet. What's Adilly? There's seventh of money,
21:12
Speaker 1: their fourth and draft capital. They're twenty first in market,
21:15
Speaker 1: twenty two in management. I like their young core. Is
21:18
Speaker 1: that crazy? I like Brandon Miller, I like conkor Nipple. Okay,
21:22
Speaker 1: it might be it, damn Okay, Maybe I can't say
21:24
Speaker 1: I like their young core if it's only two out
21:25
Speaker 1: of the eight players, But this is a Mello still
21:28
Speaker 1: count as young core. You've been in the least as
21:29
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yeah, you still count so LaMelo too. I
21:33
Speaker 1: haven't opinion about some of these other guys yet, like
21:35
Speaker 1: Tajohn Salon too early. But Utah Jazz is twenty four.
21:39
Speaker 1: They're twenty seven to players, three in money, three in draft.
21:45
Speaker 2: This is this is something, ain't it. They're hiding the bulls.
21:49
Speaker 2: Damn bro.
21:51
Speaker 1: They're hiding the bulls.
21:53
Speaker 2: Damn bro. They're higher than the bulls. Brown fell off.
21:59
Speaker 2: This is my mind.
22:00
Speaker 1: I think the bulls should be higher in players, not
22:03
Speaker 1: by a lot, not by lot. We should be pretty
22:05
Speaker 1: high in money, considering we're gonna have like ninety million
22:08
Speaker 1: in cap space next season.
22:09
Speaker 2: We should be good in draft capitol.
22:11
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be great in draft capital because we
22:13
Speaker 1: didn't pull off for Rego Beer and Donovan Mitroll trade.
22:14
Speaker 2: So we're not gonna be top three. We're gonna be
22:17
Speaker 2: high in market. Management.
22:19
Speaker 1: We're probably dead last. Management is killing us already. No,
22:21
Speaker 1: management is killing us. We're gonna be deadass last and management,
22:23
Speaker 1: oh my god, no we're not, because the Sacramento King's
22:26
Speaker 1: a dead ass last. And management, Oh my goodness. Okay,
22:29
Speaker 1: so we're gonna be twenty ninth maybe twenty ninth in management,
22:36
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards, twenty ninth in players, second in money, the
22:40
Speaker 1: sixth in draft, nineteen in market, twenty.
22:43
Speaker 2: Three in management.
22:44
Speaker 1: Oh, are we gonna be thirtieth on this list?
22:47
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets are higher than us? Yeah?
22:49
Speaker 1: Money, they got it, draft capital, they got it from
22:51
Speaker 1: the kill Bridges trade and other trades. Kevin urrnt trade.
22:55
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of trades going on. Seventh
22:57
Speaker 1: in market, thirtieth in players, single player on that team
23:00
Speaker 1: that you one hundred percent can feel confident. Who's gonna
23:03
Speaker 1: be there in three years? You hope that it's Cam,
23:05
Speaker 1: You hope that it's Clas, But like, you can't say
23:07
Speaker 1: that with so.
23:08
Speaker 2: You wouldn't bet your house on it, would you? If
23:10
Speaker 2: you bet your how?
23:11
Speaker 1: I mean, they would give him a three year deal
23:12
Speaker 1: instead of a qualifying offer if we knew he was
23:14
Speaker 1: gonna be there in three years. Damn, we're gonna be dead, lad,
23:17
Speaker 1: Oh we're twenty eighth. Let's go. They the Jazz have
23:21
Speaker 1: a better roster than us. They got the Jazz and
23:24
Speaker 1: put spot above us.
23:25
Speaker 2: Okay, we're foreign money.
23:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about that money that we got to spend
23:29
Speaker 1: that we not gonna spend on good players eighth and
23:31
Speaker 1: draft twelfth in market. Okay, now I'm confused, not confused, Okay,
23:36
Speaker 1: I got twenty seventh management. The Pelicans are beneath us.
23:40
Speaker 1: Why they have failed? Bro Wow, they failed from sixteen
23:44
Speaker 1: to twenty nine, twenty fourth in players. I think they
23:47
Speaker 1: deserve to be a little bit higher players. But maybe
23:48
Speaker 1: I'm a little biased towards Treamer for the third and
23:50
Speaker 1: Zion money is fifteen, draft is twenty. They did give
23:53
Speaker 1: up that pick. I can't look past that pick. Their
23:55
Speaker 1: twenty eighth in market and twenty ninth and management, and
23:58
Speaker 1: then last year the Phoenix songs to our thirtieth in draft,
24:00
Speaker 1: twenty two in money, twenty six and players they got
24:03
Speaker 1: a market. How is market being determined here? Because I've
24:06
Speaker 1: read uptime, it don't tell you. It just says to
24:08
Speaker 1: determine the rankings, we asked these guys to rank them
24:11
Speaker 1: on the five categories, rank them relative to the rest
24:14
Speaker 1: of the league, because they can't be ranking based on
24:16
Speaker 1: mar Oh sorry, market size, right, So what what is
24:20
Speaker 1: market being because bulls are three in market?
24:23
Speaker 2: Whatever. That was a fun article.
24:25
Speaker 1: I really did it to see where the bulls are
24:27
Speaker 1: gonna Land, and I'm upset. I'm not saying that they're wrong.
24:31
Speaker 2: I'm just upset.
