Every NBA Team's Biggest Regret Of 2024 · Kenny For Real

• 0:00
  Speaker 2: All right, y'all.
• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So we're at the end of twenty twenty four, we're
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: walking into twenty twenty five. Congratulations, you made it, and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I think we can all agree there are certain things
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that our franchises wish they could take back, certain things
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that they regret.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: So at the end of this year, we're gonna react.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: To this article every NBA team's biggest regret from the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: year twenty twenty four, now almost being for my favorite team,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls. I would assume that the biggest regret
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is not making a decision earlier, right holding on to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Demorto Rose into his contract expired, or holding on to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Alas Carusso until he only had one year or left
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with his deal, maybe holding on to usafits a little
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: bit too long.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And not picking the direction.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Hell, we're about to go into twenty twenty five and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we still don't have a real real direction because a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: lot of those guys still on the team. That will
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: be my guest. But before we get into this article,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: let's hear word from o response. This video is about
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to by DoorDash.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Y'all know me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm using DoorDash multiple times a week, so when they
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: ask can we partner up. Of course, I said, yes.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I've had food deliver right to my doorstep. I've had
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: retail items deliver right to my doorstep. I've had alcohol
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: delivered right to my doorstep through door dam time. So
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm in this room recorded for eight hours, and I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: don't really have the time to go to the kitchen
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to make.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: My own food.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So I load up door dash and I get the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: best slice of pizza I can get in my area.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: DoorDash comes in handy at home, but it definitely comes
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in handy when I am traveling, not just because I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: get food delivered, but I also get charges because Lord
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: knows I lead those at home. But I like to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: stock my hotel room up with snacks. I can't lie.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I need some chips, I need some candy just to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: have when I'm chilling in the room. Now, since DoorDash
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is hicking me up with a sponsor, they're hooking you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: up with the deal. Y'all gott to lock in for
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this one. All you need to do is hit the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: link of the description, go to door Dash and use
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: code Kenny twenty twenty four. What does that do you ask?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It gets you fifty percent off up to ten dollars
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: or your first order of fifteen dollars or more absolute steal.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So again, shout out to door Dash for sponsoring another video.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: All right, starting off with the Alatta Hawks not identifying
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a more definitive direction, I mean, I guess so sometimes
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it takes teams such a long time to come to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the realization, Oh, this pairing that we thought was gonna
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: be good is not good. I thought the Alenna Hawks
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: figured that out with Dejontey and Trey very early on,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and they didn't try to make it mesh. When it didn't,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they said, hey, we gave up two first round picks
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to get him. Are a mistake, We're gonna give up
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: or we're gonna get back to first round picks to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: get rid of him. And guess what we got? A
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: guy like Dyson Danius was like an all nbad the defender.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: We're gonna bring them into the team. Now.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is somewhat disingenuous because if the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Alenta Hawks did take the direction that they're they're talking about,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and that's probably trading away Clint right now, trading away
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Hunter, trading away Trey Young.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: They don't even own their own first round picking this
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: year's draft.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So if they would have picked the direction, what they
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: just gonna give a top five pick to the to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the Spurs.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I think what they're doing right now is the right direction.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And just allow this season to play out before you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: start making some major things. I still think click a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Palate could be moved, but that's kind of it, maybe
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: by Danavach, but like they have some young guys over
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: there that I really like, between Trey and Dyson and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Zahara and then Jalen Johnson who's like an all star
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: like borderline type of dude.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, I guess number two not keeping Lonnie.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Not keeping Lonnie Walker's the biggest regret that lets you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: know that this season, this year, the year of twenty
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: twenty four, it's almost the perfect year. If your biggest
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: regret is not keeping the eleventh man on your roster,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you probably doing something correctly. Shout out to Liney Walker,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: hope you can get back in the league. The Brooklyn
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Net's delaying there dismantling. Yes, I mean, I think we
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: can agree that they started off way better than they thought,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and it's taking them just a little bit too long
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to make those trades. Right, and then the two trades
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that they did make, it felt like they just were
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: pressed to do it because if they didn't get shoot
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: out their lineup, if they didn't get Dennis Smith or
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Dennis the dorfiitty Smith out there lineup, they were gonna
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: win too many games. So now that means that these
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: next two guys who might get moved, you know what
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. They did delay it just a little bit too.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Bringing back Miles Bridges. I just watched Myles Bridges last
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: night played against my Bulls, and he had a big
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: time shot to go into overtime, which shout out to him.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He's been awful this year, like, really really really bad,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: so bad that I had to go look at his
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: basketball reference, like that's some one game that I'm watching
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: him be an awful or is this been the full
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's been the full season, y'all. He's been really really
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: really bad. Next overpaying Patrick Williams. Okay, yeah, I can
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: agree with that. I guess we did pay that man,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Patrick Willis. What's the actual number, five years, ninety million dollars.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: He's started to look better and better throughout the course
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: of the year. The last week or two he's been Okay,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I still can't say that he's a ninety million dollar
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: type of player though they ain't even respect him enough
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to get his full face in this picture. Oh man, Pat,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we got we gotta change it, man, And they stay
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: down here? What oh man? Were they still clinging on
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to hopes of those old kowhilon A two point zero comparisons.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Finally comment to Fruition next one Cleveland couple of years,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: failing to answer the small four question.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, sure, sure, sure, but.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Also they're the best tap of basketball right now, so
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, but I think we a you know
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that's kind of the way you feel
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when you started off this good and you're on pace
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to win seventy damn games.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Next week got the Dallas Mavericks not getting more value
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: from Jaden Hardy. Interesting, Like some of these ones, like
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this one is one of the ones that's like, hey,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks had a really good deadline last year.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They had a really good offseason last year, so we
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: got to pick and choose what their regret is. So
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's like grasping for straws, Like yes, it would objectively
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: help the team out. If Jaden Hardy was playing and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: playing really well, that just adds another ball handler to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the lineup, and so on and so forth. But they
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: didn't trust him enough that they had to go get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Spencer Dinwidie and Spencer dinwide. He's looking hit or miss,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: but mostly hit so far this season, So I guess
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it's not one of the ones that we just spent
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of time on losing contagious callwell hope for nothing. Yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Now we've made plenty of conversation, had plenty of conversations
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: about kcp's departure from the Nuggets. While I don't think
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that losing him for what is worth is that big
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of a thing, it's still not replacing what he provides
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is more of the problem. Because, like kcp's the season
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is not lift up to the contract that he's been
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: given either. But like losing him objectively is tough, they're
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: starting to figure it out a little bit more. I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: would probably guess that the biggest regret in the grand
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: scheme of things is gonna be the Jamal Murray contract.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: As good as he can be, in the last couple
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of weeks, he has been very good that's a lot
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of money to give a player that probably is never
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: gonna make an All Star appearent. So that would be
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the thing I thought about. Panga premium for Tobias Harris.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: That's a regret already. Listen, when you got the salary floor.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: You gotta feel it. It ain't like, what's the number,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: what's the number? Two years, fifty two million, That money
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is off the books.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: That's not that's Hey, how about we talk about the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: regrets of bringing in money winning mighty Williams sign Oh no,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: mighty Williams side of twenty twenty three because he coached
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three, twenty two four seasons, So.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: That can't be a regret for twenty twenty four.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: All right, But like Toby is what he is, right,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he's a veteran in that locker room. He gonna be
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I But the fact that it's on your two year deal,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal to me. It's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: just not It's just not Panga premium. You had to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: pay somebody anyway, Let's pay somebody who's been here before
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and wanted to be here and could potentially help these
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: younger players develop a little bit.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: So I ain't mad at this one at all.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Not getting a Steph Curry co star. I've always said
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it has been one timelineus whole time. So when it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was Wiseman and it was Kaminga and it was Moody,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I've always said, there's only one timeline, and that's the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Curry timeline. The thing that happened is that they went
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on to win what the twenty twenty two was that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, the twenty twenty two championship.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: They went on to win that. So it's like, hey,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: we okay, look the two timeline thing, Mark Jordan Poole,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: look at them.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Try to the Kamina didn't play that much, but like,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we can have two timelines and still win a championship
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: when the reality was you probably can't do it two times.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So Steph Curry not having an All Star post Kevin
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Durant basically, I mean, I guess Draymond did make it
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: once post Kevin.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Rant, but like a co star, not an all star
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: co star.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It's mismanagement, man, where you have an all time great
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that it is still give you all time production. In
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: my personal mind, I believe you have to do what
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you can to maximize that window, and I feel like,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: again outside of twenty twenty.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Two, they kind of failed at that. So yeah, and like.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Lowry markin this the name that they're bringing up in
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Paul George, players that they could have got but decided
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit selfish there.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Running short on shooters Houston Rockets.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, like this has been such a good year for
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets as like, I was curious what they
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: could have potentially had.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: On this list running short on shooters. Sure, I don't,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I don't have anything to say.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: They're basically saying that they got streaky shot creators and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: nobody that can actually shoot shoot. Fine, fine, and you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: hada pacers thinking too long term at the draft. So
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they did draft one of the youngest guys in the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: draft class and Johnny Furfrey from Australia and Eve, you
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: can look at this picture the man it's sixteen years
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: old maybe And I'm trying to remember who was left
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: on that board.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Let's go see.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Ah, they're seeing guys like aj Mitchell and Jaln Wales,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: which is like sure, but but no at the same time,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: because Aj Mitchell is thirty six and Jalen Wells is
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: thirty three. I mean, obviously, if if teams in basketball
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: would have known that Jalen Wells was gonna look this.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: This good even when out of a lot higher than
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: thirty three.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So this is like revision's history because I don't I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people saw Johnny Furfrey get
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: drafted and was like, man, he should have took to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Jaylen Wales like that's us reacted to it now because
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Jaylen Wills is so much better than anticipated.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: But I'm not thinking about this too much.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they could have got a veteran, for sure,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of one of those veteran type of dudes. But saying
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that it should have been Jaylen Wales or AJ Mitchell
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: after seeing them be good for thirty games is I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: can't get to it. Also, what I was looking at
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't even the real He got drafted thirty fifth. So
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: then now it makes a little bit more sense because
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: AJ Mitchell was two picks away and jay Len Wills. Okay,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: so I was looking at somebody's mock draft, my fault,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and even the hay mock.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Draft head Johnny Furfrey going thirty you know what I'm saying.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: My point still somewhat stand. I guess. I don't know.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Next I'm getting nothing for Paul George for the Clippers, Yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So a lot of these are just like Ticky taking
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: away the Clippers had to sign and Tray talk to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the Warriors in the most likely scenario would have had
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: them walk away with Wiggins, Chris, Paul, Moses Moody in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the first round pick.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, in that case, one hundred percent agree. I didn't remember.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't remember that before coming out. So yeah, so
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you lost Paul George for nothing, but instead you could
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: have got this. But the reality is they used that
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: money to go get Derrick Jones junior. They used the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: money to go get Chris Dunn, and while Wiggins is
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: looking better than both of those players, and that first
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: round pick could have been intriguing for what you want
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to do in the future, Like they decided that Paul
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: George wasn't the answer and they replaced him with a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: few different role players that helped build a new culture
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: on the team.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm not faulting him too much for that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Lakers not addressing the supporting cast sooner. Yeah, we made
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a video about this yesterday, So if you missed it,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: we talked about this trade and how Rob Polinks has
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: been sitting on his hands for the last couple of years.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna revisit that. Go watch the video yesterday
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: if if you missed it. Memphis Grizzlies getting greedy in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: trade talks. I didn't know that was the thing. I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: didn't know they.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Were getting greedy in trade talks.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: They almost had one fall in their lap too, before
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the Lakers swooped in and snapers John Finny Smith. The
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Grizzlies were in active discussions to pick him up Memphis.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: My microphone being away, so that that's might be ducking
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it die. Memphis apparently pushed too hard, though, as Brooklyn
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: declined to offer when the Grizzies wanted Brooklyn's twenty twenty
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: five second round pick and offer a top ten protective
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: first rounder. Okay, Okay, I mean I guess I still
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna be buyers and they're gonna get a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: deal done, like they're gonna have to get a deal done.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's not DFS. Maybe as somebody.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Else Colorad Jimmy Butler, Hey, I think I think pat
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Riley would say he got zero regrets.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: When you one hundred and six years old, you don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: have time for regrets.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But I guess calling him out has calls just like
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a media circus, an unnecessary media circus. So I'm cool
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: with that Bucks chasing upside of the draft. Now, this
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: is one I can get behind opposed to, Like the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers win because they drafted to like real life
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: super duper quadruple young, like super young dudes, and when
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: they are a team that is trying to win a championship.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: While I understand the Pacers are trying to do that
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: too when they made to the conference finals, but like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: we agree that the Pacers are further away from a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: championship than the Milwaukee Bucks, right, I hope we can
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: agree there. When you are a team with Giannis and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Dame and all these other aging players that need their
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: window to be open for right now, that's when I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: think you go and go get the three year college
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: vet or the four year college vet that could come
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in and provide us.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Ten good minutes.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: But instead they decided to go upside, and maybe it
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: works out in the grands gave of.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Things we don't really know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know about aj Johnson if it fits, or
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Tyler Smith if he fits in three years down the line,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: But thinking about what Giannis is right now, when Dame
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: is right now, having one of the older college guys
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: just to alleviate just a little bit of pressure, having
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: somebody worried enough to get some real pt would have
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: been more impactful than going super upside here.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're looking at the world three years down
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the line when Giannis is aging a little bit and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: looking for that next sky, and maybe it is one
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of these two dudes. The Temples trade card, the town's Yeah,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Kat's picture was the thumbnail. I was like that show
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: for show, ain't no regret for the New York Knicks,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: but for the Minnesota Temples. One hundred P a hundred
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: p the biggest regret of the year, felt like an
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: unnecessary trade for cap flexibility and so on and so forth.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: We want to be able to bring back nas Read
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and bring back this guy. And because of that, Crinthy
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Towns is the casualty man. He been hooping his butt
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: off and as you can tell, they could desperately need him.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: They've been starting to play a little bit better since
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Christmas and everything, So we'll see what that looks like.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: But Cat he was hard and soul. Man. It's hard
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and so weird to see him in a different jersey,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: but it's starting to fit. It's starting to fit.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Pelicans never realizing what they had in Dyson Daniels, you
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: know what I'm how do I say? I'm sure they
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: had an inkling about his ceiling, right, but they also
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to continue to build around z and build around
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: some of the players that they had, and I just
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: don't know if it ever would have been a perfect
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: fit between Zion and Dyson and this guy and this guy.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So they recognized probably that Dyson Daniels is a ridiculous defender.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was one of my favorite offenders even
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: before he got to Atlanta. The naked eye recognized the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: defensive impact that Dyson had. That was last year before
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he came down with his injury. I'm sure they know
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that too, with him being in the locker room every
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: single day. But they also wanted to look at the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: time that they had with z and b I before
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they want to trade them away, and maybe thought that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: de John Tate Murray just opened up the window for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the now a little bit more.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to help them. Say face hell, I don't
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: know next.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We got the New York Knicks for getting they're all
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in during the draft because they went out to get
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I guess a lot of these are just draft related
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Diabate and some of the other guys, and they're saying,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like they had Ryan Dunn right then, they have Ryan done,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and they had.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Man, did they have Dayron Holmes?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: The Knicks made a couple different trades on draft night
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to move around and finagle a little bit, and they
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: had a couple guys that maybe could have been able
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to help them right now. And Tom Thibodeau desperately needs
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: more people that he could trust.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I don't care who it could have been.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Goddamn rookie women Yama, Tom Dibbdau won't gonna trust that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: man the way Tom dibbitdob Okay see being too patient
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: with their first picks.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: See see, I can't get behind this one either. Then
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: being patient.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: They're the number one scene in the Western Conference right now,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and they said that they might be buyers this year,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm not behind that. When it's they're not adding
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: perimeter score, I can agree here. We love Polo, we
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: love France. We love these big body, bruising point forwards
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: who can play, make and score it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Can do all of this.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: But you do watch that team and saying, man, if
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: they just had a guard that can go out there
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and get them some buckets in, they haven't been able
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to do that yet yet. Not re signing or replacing
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Buddy Hill spoiler alert, the Buddy Hill cycle was at
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the bottom of it right now. He's been awful for
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: like three weeks straight now, So not resigning him but
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: not replacing him. Sure, you're just basically saying, hey, the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: seventy six to you, more shoot the seventies using Mischard.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Sure, I ain't stripping about that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think it's a I don't
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: think it's a single seventy six er fans like wish
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: we had Buddy Hill and they had Jarreed McCain before
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it's jury. I mean, he was shooting lights out too.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know, ignoring reality for the Phoenix
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Suns sit Yeah, I mean yeah, but you know new
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: owner Syndrome Matt Eshpier came in and say, hey, we
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: want Kevin, we want this. We want this, we want this,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to compete. And yeah, after a great,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: great start, they're actually a tough one watch. And I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: didn't ever expect that to be the case for a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: team that has Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. The problem
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: is and feel like they're never on the court together.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So maybe that's what makes him a tough watch. But
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: whatever overvaluing Jeremy Grant for the Trailblazers, are they saying
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that there was a trade on the table that they
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: said no to. I'm willing to trade Grant without two
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: first round picks in return. That's a special for show.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: The regret is extending Mike Brown, sure, or maybe their
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: regret ends up being firing Mike Brown only time with hell.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: But when you extend a guy in July, then six
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: months later you get rid of him and you're willing
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to take that money on. You're willing to just pay
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: him out for three years, it is kind of crazy.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Spurs not giving Wenny more help.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I don't I like the time.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I'm disagree with a lot of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: these because I like the time. Like the Spurs are
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: playing at right now, I'm okay with it. I'm okay
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: with the way they're look at right now. Not finding
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Bruce Brown deal to twenty twenty four deadline, sure because
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: now he a don't even play basketball, no more selling
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: law on Otaybaji. Yeah, that trade felt weird in real time.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Has been really solid this season and had a what
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you what what you would call a breakout from like
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: a role player, I guess. So that's kind of cool
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that the Raptors able to snack him up and letting
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Kyle Koulsman dictate their twenty twenty four deadline. Yo, How
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: insane is it that they asked him, Yo, we got
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: this trade on the table for you to go somewhere,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and he was like, nah, I feel like that is
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that should be saved for the.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Top one percent of NBA players.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Koulsman hadn't done anything in Washington for him to get
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that benefit of doubt, man, and they gave it to him,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and now he's playing some of his worst basketball ever.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: So like, whatever trade they had him lined up to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: go to, was it Dallas. You're not gonna get that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: same value. And that's the problem, all right. You leving
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: on the convers section, what is the biggest regret for
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: your favorite team, and I'll be down there, Happy New Year,
