Grading Every NBA Team’s Offseason So Far · Kenny For Real

0:00
Speaker 1: It's been a minute since we've reacted to a Bleach
0:02
Speaker 1: Report article. Today, we got great in every NBA team's
0:04
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NBA offseason so far. It was released
0:08
Speaker 1: like five days ago. That's not really relevant because not
0:10
Speaker 1: a lot has happened in those five days, But this
0:12
Speaker 1: is gonna be interesting. Like, going into it, we were
0:14
Speaker 1: promised by some people that this was about to be
0:16
Speaker 1: potentially the craziest off season of all time, not even
0:19
Speaker 1: not even close to say, let me just say shout
0:22
Speaker 1: out to our boys, the Shams to say this had
0:24
Speaker 1: the potential to be a crazy offseason. After the offseason
0:27
Speaker 1: we just had it's nuts. But it didn't live up
0:30
Speaker 1: to that.
0:30
Speaker 2: Right.
0:31
Speaker 1: The biggest trade we got was Kevin Urrett trade, and
0:33
Speaker 1: that one wasn't even too crazy because Kevin Urant had
0:35
Speaker 1: basically narrowed it down to a couple of different destinations.
0:38
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing about that one was the
0:40
Speaker 1: time and of it all, like that happening right before
0:43
Speaker 1: Game seven is of the NBA Finals was kind of nuts.
0:45
Speaker 1: But that was like the biggest move of the off season.
0:47
Speaker 1: But I do believe there's a lot of teams that
0:49
Speaker 1: leveled up right they went up a tier and some
0:50
Speaker 1: teams tore down completely, which, in my opinion, can we
0:53
Speaker 1: looked at as a good offseason as well. So we're
0:54
Speaker 1: gonna see what be our things. I'm gonna give my
0:56
Speaker 1: opinions is get into it. This video is brought to
0:58
Speaker 1: you by Raycon. You see you didn't even notice ahead
1:00
Speaker 1: of man, You see me, I'm looking good. Raycon is
1:02
Speaker 1: a lifestyle audio brand that offers premium sound, comfort and
1:05
Speaker 1: style at an affordable price. The best known for their
1:07
Speaker 1: everyday earbuds, which you've probably seen me use a few
1:10
Speaker 1: years back. But this one right here is a new
1:13
Speaker 1: and improved of their classic design.
1:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:15
Speaker 1: Man, they're saying that the OZ is back, but this
1:17
Speaker 1: time around it has active noise canceling. You know, this
1:20
Speaker 1: reminds me of It reminds me of a Dark Knight,
1:22
Speaker 1: Like we all love Batman Begins, but the sequel is
1:26
Speaker 1: so much better now. Personally, I find myself using Raycon's
1:29
Speaker 1: mostly when I'm editing videos. There's a lot of stuff
1:31
Speaker 1: going on in the house and I need to really
1:32
Speaker 1: really lock in at the project. They have eight hours
1:35
Speaker 1: of playtime in a thirty two hour battery, and of
1:37
Speaker 1: course you're talking about earbuds.
1:38
Speaker 2: Your question is about the audio quality right.
1:41
Speaker 1: Where their audio quality is just as good as the
1:43
Speaker 1: other big time brands at a fraction of the price.
1:46
Speaker 1: So go to buy raycon dot com slash Kenny to
1:49

1:56
Speaker 1: Shout out again to Raycon for sponsoring this video. M
1:59
Speaker 1: hm seun out to a great over the.
2:00
Speaker 2: Feel good to be back.
2:01
Speaker 1: By the way, I ain't feeling a video on like
2:03
Speaker 1: seven days for real, and I'm like, whoa, that's like
2:05
Speaker 1: the second longest I've ever went without filming the video.
2:07
Speaker 1: Here we go, starting off with the Atlanta Hawks. That
2:09
Speaker 1: gave the Atlanta Hawks to smooth a which feels about right.
2:13
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Hawks are one of the biggest offseason winners
2:15
Speaker 1: if you ask me, when you already think about the
2:17
Speaker 1: existing interesting young core of a Trey Young, Jalen Johnson,
2:21
Speaker 1: res I say, and a Yaka Congo to now at
2:24
Speaker 1: christasperzingis for nothing and I know about the history of
2:27
Speaker 1: Christas berzenis healthwise, but.
2:28
Speaker 2: Like they didn't really give up anything to make it happen.
2:31
Speaker 1: If anything, they got off of a contract and Terrence Man,
2:33
Speaker 1: which is pretty damn dope. To bring in Nikkeil Alexela Walker,
2:36
Speaker 1: who over the last two playoff runs, who are a
2:38
Speaker 1: really integral part to the Minnesota Templewolves, and to also
2:42
Speaker 1: getting luke Anar who may play may not play a
2:44
Speaker 1: ton but like, this just looks like now a team
2:46
Speaker 1: that was a playing a perennial playoff team or play
2:48
Speaker 1: in team over the last.
2:49
Speaker 2: Couple of seasons.
2:49
Speaker 1: You squinch eyes and you're like, oh, snap, Atlanta Hawks
2:52
Speaker 1: can do this. Trey Young, it is time, baby, It's time.
2:55
Speaker 2: Next, we got the.
2:56
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics, who I don't know personally what I would
2:59
Speaker 1: grade the Bostonics. They gave it a seed, which feel
3:01
Speaker 1: like anytime somebody gets to see on a grading, YadA, YadA, YadA.
3:05
Speaker 2: It's most like, listen, we don't know exactly what to
3:06
Speaker 2: do with it.
3:07
Speaker 1: We knew that they were gonna have to break up
3:08
Speaker 1: the team right whether they won a championship or they
3:10
Speaker 1: missed the plaoffs completely. We knew that this was a
3:12
Speaker 1: team that was too expensive to exist. The question was
3:15
Speaker 1: what type of direction they really go in. They traded
3:17
Speaker 1: with Drew Holliday trade away, Chris STAPs, Porzingis, and obviously
3:19
Speaker 1: Tatum getting out of his injury. It's about to be
3:22
Speaker 1: like a gap year, if you will, for the Boston Celtics.
3:24
Speaker 1: The thing that is really interesting to me is because
3:27
Speaker 1: Drew and because Chris STAPs didn't have a ton of
3:30
Speaker 1: value on the market, the players that you brought back,
3:33
Speaker 1: which is basically just Anthony Simas if you really think
3:34
Speaker 1: about the George and Yanges probably not a part of
3:36
Speaker 1: the long term future. But like those guys don't make
3:39
Speaker 1: me feel like, at least as of today, that when
3:41
Speaker 1: Tatum does come back, the team will be right back
3:44
Speaker 1: into contention.
3:45
Speaker 2: And Brad Stevens has done a.
3:46
Speaker 1: Damn good job as a GM whatever the hell basketball
3:49
Speaker 1: operations guy, but now he's about to go into his
3:51
Speaker 1: biggest struggle as a guy making the decisions.
3:55
Speaker 2: What do you do?
3:56
Speaker 1: How do you bridge the gap to get right back
3:58
Speaker 1: to championship contention. I don't answers for that just yet,
4:01
Speaker 1: but this offseason giving it a seed makes some sense
4:03
Speaker 1: because hey, who knows Brooklyn Nets. They gave it a
4:07
Speaker 1: B for the Brooklyn Nets, a right, So the Brooklyn
4:09
Speaker 1: Nets came into this offseason with a ton of cap space,
4:11
Speaker 1: was like, okay, you know, restricted free agency is a
4:13
Speaker 1: fake thing, and you could see that even with their
4:15
Speaker 1: own player and Cam Thomas. But the question was how
4:18
Speaker 1: were they gonna use that cap space. The first thing
4:20
Speaker 1: they did is they acquired a first round pick in
4:22
Speaker 1: that Atlanta Hawks deal. When they brought in Terrence Man
4:25
Speaker 1: in that port Zingus deal, you know what I'm talking
4:26
Speaker 1: about that just mentioned earlier.
4:28
Speaker 2: They also brought.
4:29
Speaker 1: In a twenty thirty two I think a thirty one
4:32
Speaker 1: first round pick to acquire Michael Porter junior and get
4:35
Speaker 1: out Cam Johnson. Of course, we're gonna talk about the
4:38
Speaker 1: trait a little bit more once we get to the
4:39
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets, but that.
4:41
Speaker 2: Pick has a potential to be really valuable one day.
4:43
Speaker 1: And one thing if I had, if I had to
4:45
Speaker 1: be a critic of myself when it comes to stuff
4:48
Speaker 1: like this, I find myself being super super high on
4:52
Speaker 1: future picks like most people do. But also when teams
4:55
Speaker 1: do a lot of small things around the edges, right,
4:59
Speaker 1: I find myself pray in those teams it's like, oh,
5:01
Speaker 1: they got two more second round picks, and the reality
5:03
Speaker 1: is those seg around picks in a lot of cases
5:05
Speaker 1: don't turn to anything, you know. But but in my mind,
5:08
Speaker 1: just making those move around the edges helps out which
5:11
Speaker 1: your cap book, it can help out with your future
5:12
Speaker 1: future assets.
5:13
Speaker 2: And I think that's what the Brooklyn Nets kind of did.
5:15
Speaker 1: This offse is Now. I am not the NBA draft guy.
5:17
Speaker 1: I did do more research this year than any other
5:19
Speaker 1: year in my life. I can say right now I'm
5:21
Speaker 1: not a huge fan of their draft. But who the
5:22
Speaker 1: hell knows when you have a gazillion first round picks,
5:25
Speaker 1: if you just have two of those guys hit to
5:27
Speaker 1: be real NBA players, and I would say that's a win.
5:29
Speaker 1: Which two of those guys will be? Hell, I don't know,
5:31
Speaker 1: they basically all play if it's all played the same position.
5:35
Speaker 1: And I recently just saw a clip of Michael porter
5:37
Speaker 1: J on his podcast like two years ago. We was
5:39
Speaker 1: talking about how people make fun of him because he
5:41
Speaker 1: don't swing the ball, and he said, if I ever
5:43
Speaker 1: got put into a different role than I'll think about passing, Well, brother,
5:47
Speaker 1: your roles a lot different on this team, man, So
5:49
Speaker 1: we'll see if you can jump up from I'm gonna
5:51
Speaker 1: guess one point seven assist a game. Let me see
5:53
Speaker 1: a lot better than my one point seven. It's two
5:55
Speaker 1: point one. So let's see if that two point one
5:57
Speaker 1: goes into four. Can you double your assist per game
6:00
Speaker 1: total on this team?
6:01
Speaker 3: I don't know's it's one of those off seasons that
6:05
Speaker 3: you know when we talk about doing things around the
6:08
Speaker 3: edges of how much we praise it every time the
6:11
Speaker 3: Brooklyn That's acquired a new first round pick, I.
6:12
Speaker 1: Was like, yes, they did it, they did it, And
6:14
Speaker 1: then for them to use all of those search round picks,
6:17
Speaker 1: still mind going to me? So only time will tell.
6:21
Speaker 1: Next the Charlotte Hornet, See, this is one of those
6:23
Speaker 1: teams they did a lot around edges.
6:24
Speaker 2: They have it as a B.
6:25
Speaker 1: But you know they got the twenty ninth overall pick
6:27
Speaker 1: in that trade for Mark Williams. They also got a
6:29
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine first round pick that is the worst
6:32
Speaker 1: of Cleveland, Utah and Minnesota.
6:34
Speaker 2: We'll see what that turns out.
6:35
Speaker 1: They got a first round pick to take on use
6:38
Speaker 1: of nrkids last year and then flipped the use of
6:40
Speaker 1: nrkds to get a future second round.
6:42
Speaker 2: See that those are the type of deals that I
6:43
Speaker 2: really find myself.
6:44
Speaker 1: Like loving and again they may not mean anything, but
6:47
Speaker 1: The one thing I love the most about the Charlotte
6:49
Speaker 1: Hornets this offseason was I personally do believe when your
6:52
Speaker 1: point guard is your best player, and that point guard
6:55
Speaker 1: is struggling to stay on the court at the time
6:58
Speaker 1: that he is not out there, it's detrimental to the
7:01
Speaker 1: progression of everybody else on the team, all of the
7:04
Speaker 1: other young players on the team. And one thing I
7:06
Speaker 1: respect about this Charlotte Hornets offseason this year is that, like,
7:10
Speaker 1: they took a couple guys who can facilitate and run
7:13
Speaker 1: the offense just in case LaMelo Ball gets hurt.
7:16
Speaker 2: LaMelo be hoping that you don't.
7:17
Speaker 1: But like Spencer Dinwide has been on the gazillion different teams,
7:20
Speaker 1: he's always been pretty damn steady. They got in Trey Man,
7:23
Speaker 1: who didn't play a ton of last season, but they
7:25
Speaker 1: gave him a twenty four million dollar deal over three years.
7:28
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a really good deal. So they
7:30
Speaker 1: got it as a B. I'd probably go closer to
7:32
Speaker 1: B plus for the Charlotte Hornets, but again, I'm truly, truly,
7:36
Speaker 1: way optimistic about them smaller deals. And I said it
7:39
Speaker 1: before the conkinipple of the top picks, it's like him
7:43
Speaker 1: and Trey Johnson. Those are the guys that I trust
7:45
Speaker 1: the most or I'm looking forward to watching the most.
7:47
Speaker 1: And they got one of those guys next these shug God,
7:52
Speaker 1: they got it as a D. We don't need to
7:53
Speaker 1: spend too much time with the Bulls. They made one
7:55
Speaker 1: trade and that was the Linzo ice Acorum. Listen, Ice,
7:58
Speaker 1: I got another love for you. Hope you come out
7:59
Speaker 1: to Chicago and you absolutely ball. But y'all, I've made
8:02
Speaker 1: the videos about the Bulls.
8:03
Speaker 2: We'll move on. We'll see if the.
8:05
Speaker 1: Josh Giddy number looks like because that that's really gonna
8:07
Speaker 1: determine if this stays a D or it becomes an
8:10
Speaker 1: F or it goes to a C minus because they
8:11
Speaker 1: don't give much higher than like even Josh Giddy on
8:14
Speaker 1: a good deal.
8:14
Speaker 2: You can't say this is an a off season.
8:17
Speaker 1: But every day we get deeper into free agency and
8:19
Speaker 1: there's zero Vucevich buzz. It makes me feel like that
8:24
Speaker 1: Vucevitch might be one of the best names on the
8:26
Speaker 1: buyout market in February if next season, because nobody wants
8:30
Speaker 1: him now he just had such a great season. If
8:32
Speaker 1: nobody wants him right now, then win when they ever want,
8:35
Speaker 1: and he's on an expiring deal. He's in an expiring
8:38
Speaker 1: contract a center that just had a really good year. Now, granted,
8:40
Speaker 1: we all know his deficiencies on defensive side of the ball,
8:43
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, But if you can't get somebody
8:45
Speaker 1: to take him on today, then you probably never will.
8:48
Speaker 1: So maybe buying him out in February. Cleveland Cavaliers, they
8:52
Speaker 1: really do a lot. They got Larry NaN's back, They
8:53
Speaker 1: of course got Lonzo Ball, and Sam Merrill got a contract.
8:57
Speaker 1: I set this on the pop before they gave it
8:59
Speaker 1: a b. One thing that I question is that will
9:02
Speaker 1: the paint touches and the creation that ty Jerome had
9:05
Speaker 1: last season, will it hurt that they don't have that anymore?
9:08
Speaker 1: Because as much as I love lines with Ball or brother,
9:09
Speaker 1: don't put the ball on the floor anymore. So he's
9:11
Speaker 1: more of a three and D wing than he is
9:14
Speaker 1: a point guard. A three and D wing would absurd passing,
9:17
Speaker 1: but he doesn't create as far as getting two feet
9:19
Speaker 1: into the paint. Go look at them numbers. I've watched
9:21
Speaker 1: them mis Chicago this season. And then, granted he just
9:23
Speaker 1: had his whole knee replaced, he hit some like like
9:26
Speaker 1: like a fake need, no real need, but it was
9:27
Speaker 1: somebody else's need, like I don't. I'm not mad at
9:30
Speaker 1: him that he didn't create like he used to as
9:32
Speaker 1: far as getting to the basket, but that's just not
9:33
Speaker 1: a part of his game.
9:34
Speaker 2: Maybe a year of moved from all.
9:36
Speaker 1: Of the message, the procedures and stuff, you get him
9:39
Speaker 1: back to some of the stuff. But even before the
9:40
Speaker 1: Preceidus he wun't really getting to the brim. But lot
9:42
Speaker 1: Either way, I think Cleveland had a really good offseason.
9:44
Speaker 1: They got it as a bee. I probably got slightly
9:46
Speaker 1: below that. I probably go slightly below that, but still
9:49
Speaker 1: the favorite to win the Eastern Conference. Next we got
9:51
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks, who they have at a b I
9:54
Speaker 1: mean when you when.
9:55
Speaker 2: You get coop a flag, No, I do think that.
9:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Danie gafferdal is pretty I thought that that
10:01
Speaker 1: was a deal that they were gonna use to move
10:04
Speaker 1: immediately after he signed it.
10:05
Speaker 2: Obviously he's still on the roster es today. They haven't
10:07
Speaker 2: done much else, so we'll move on.
10:08
Speaker 1: Shouts group of flag and it's like to watch him
10:10
Speaker 1: who now here's the different nugetstate.
10:12
Speaker 2: Oh, it was twenty thirty two that I mentioned in Brooklyn.
10:15
Speaker 2: This pick has the potential to be pretty damn valuable.
10:18
Speaker 2: One day. They got it as a seat. Ooh, they
10:20
Speaker 2: got it as a c Damn.
10:23
Speaker 1: They must really value their future picks. Here's my take
10:25
Speaker 1: on it. I think I tweeted this after the trade
10:27
Speaker 1: even happened. I don't give a damn if this pick
10:29
Speaker 1: is thirty thirty two. If I have Nikola Jokic on
10:32
Speaker 1: my team right now, I'm gonna do what I can
10:34
Speaker 1: to get the team to be great. Yeah, bout twenty
10:36
Speaker 1: thirty two, Nikolaokitch might be out of the league. I
10:39
Speaker 1: just saw a clip what he accidentally said he only
10:41
Speaker 1: gonna play for two more years. I think he was joking,
10:43
Speaker 1: But hell, we don't know what nikolay Okics. So seven
10:45
Speaker 1: years from now, yes, Nikolaokins is in his mid thirties
10:49
Speaker 1: and he might be out of the league, or you know,
10:50
Speaker 1: knowing him, he might just want to walk away from
10:52
Speaker 1: the game.
10:53
Speaker 2: So that pick could be valuable. I just don't care.
10:56
Speaker 1: Can you imagine not trying to maximize the ceiling of
10:58
Speaker 1: the best player in the world because pick seven years
11:01
Speaker 1: from now, a pick that.
11:02
Speaker 2: You don't even know anything about.
11:04
Speaker 1: This pick could be the thirty They could be twenty
11:07
Speaker 1: eighth overall pick, and you think about it at twenty
11:09
Speaker 1: thirty two, I'm like, damn, we could have traded that
11:10
Speaker 1: pick to get our team better. For the Kocheokics, this
11:12
Speaker 1: team is one game away from defeating the team that
11:14
Speaker 1: went on to win a championship. I think today they
11:16
Speaker 1: are better than they were when they were in that series. Yes,
11:19
Speaker 1: they're gonna miss some of the things that Michael porter
11:21
Speaker 1: Juir does. Cam Johnson does some similar things, and something's better.
11:24
Speaker 1: They also got Bruce Brown back. They also got Tim
11:26
Speaker 1: Hardaway junior in the door. They also got a real center,
11:29
Speaker 1: which I cannot express enough, a real center, Jonas Valetomas
11:33
Speaker 1: back him up. I love this offseason.
11:35
Speaker 2: I don't.
11:35
Speaker 1: I think this gotta be crazy. I think they are
11:38
Speaker 1: probably let me read it. I'm gonna read it and
11:39
Speaker 1: see what they're with. Let me see if they got.
11:41
Speaker 2: A real good point. I've read it.
11:44
Speaker 1: Their point is, Okay, you did the Cam Johnson, Troy,
11:47
Speaker 1: you got off the contract and you saved seventeen million.
11:49
Speaker 2: But the money that.
11:50
Speaker 1: You gave Bruce Brown has Bruce Brown always been a
11:54
Speaker 1: Bruce Brown junior? Am I bugget the money that you
11:56
Speaker 1: saved didn't help you acquire these dudes because they signed
11:59
Speaker 1: from me. So you didn't even use that seventeen million
12:02
Speaker 1: that instead it was ownership saying that they wanted some money.
12:06
Speaker 2: I don't fucking care.
12:07
Speaker 1: The team is better, even they said Denver is better
12:09
Speaker 1: on paper and at least plausible, at least plausible Johnson
12:13
Speaker 1: could out perform Michael Porter Junior over the life of
12:15
Speaker 1: his contract. I don't know what else you could really say.
12:17
Speaker 1: He even said on young Valent Junas that he stayed
12:19
Speaker 1: in the NBA after considering playing overseas. He's a major
12:22
Speaker 1: upgrade to anyone different. His head behind the Koley ookis
12:24
Speaker 1: at center. So you just gave so much praise. But
12:26
Speaker 1: just because they didn't spend that seventeen or the seventeen,
12:29
Speaker 1: I don't understand that we're gonna move on Detroit now.
12:32
Speaker 1: Everybody I've seen a lot of people will be down
12:34
Speaker 1: on Detroit's offseason. I think it was okay they got
12:36
Speaker 1: it as a seed. I'd probably go a little bit
12:37
Speaker 1: higher than the seed. Some shit you just can't control.
12:40
Speaker 1: If the best individual season shooter in your franchise history
12:45
Speaker 1: gets investigated, then what are you supposed to do.
12:48
Speaker 2: You know, what are you supposed to do about that?
12:50
Speaker 1: I think that that all things considered, Yeah, Duncan Robinson
12:53
Speaker 1: made a lot of money, gets a lot of money
12:56
Speaker 1: from Ducan Robson. But all things considered, I think the
12:58
Speaker 1: best offseason acquisition that the Detroit Pissons added this year it's.
13:02
Speaker 2: Jade and Ivy.
13:03
Speaker 1: So maybe that you can't really count that into the
13:05
Speaker 1: you can't account that into the grade. But Jada and
13:07
Speaker 1: Ivy's back and Dennis Shrewder left and I think Jada
13:10
Speaker 1: and I can do the stuff that Dennis shrew was
13:12
Speaker 1: able to do and be better. Tim Hardaway Junior left.
13:16
Speaker 1: They got Karris Lavert who are very similar type of players.
13:19
Speaker 2: He check.
13:20
Speaker 1: I guess Tim Marto is better off the catch, but
13:22
Speaker 1: like similar players, Malik Beasley has such a great season.
13:26
Speaker 1: I don't think Duckie Robinson could replicate three hundred plus threes.
13:28
Speaker 1: But I feel like a lot of the players that
13:30
Speaker 1: they lost, they just brought in different players they can
13:33
Speaker 1: do similar things.
13:34
Speaker 2: And Kate cunninghams on the team.
13:36
Speaker 1: So I'm really expecting the Detur piss to be better
13:37
Speaker 1: even if they're all season is not an a plus,
13:40
Speaker 1: you know, okay, move on Pokemon stuff. Listen, I've been
13:43
Speaker 1: really into Pokemon. I dropped the Pokemon video. It's it's secret, though,
13:46
Speaker 1: you gotta find it. But I dropped the Pokemon video.
13:49
Speaker 1: The Golden sag Wars haven't done anything, so we move
13:51
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets. I feel like we've talked a lot
13:53
Speaker 1: about the Rockets. They have it as an A. I
13:55
Speaker 1: don't know if we can go anything lord than that.
13:57
Speaker 1: That's the bare minimum what you could give it. Dorothany Smith,
13:59
Speaker 1: click apal, Kevin durant in Ja Varsivio Junior's extension, real
14:03
Speaker 1: ballplayer frev e Vliet, get him a new contract to
14:07
Speaker 1: save you some money. Beautiful offseason no notes, A makes
14:10
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, Heil A plus could make some
14:11
Speaker 1: sense to me as well.
14:12
Speaker 2: Then you got the Indiana Pace who they have as
14:14
Speaker 2: an f who.
14:17
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a couple different ways you can look at
14:22
Speaker 1: the loss of Myles turn right.
14:25
Speaker 2: The first way you could look at it and say, hey,
14:27
Speaker 2: Miles Turner was here for ten ten plus.
14:29
Speaker 1: I don't even was it ten seas with draft last
14:31
Speaker 1: hears twenty fifteen, he might have been been here for
14:33
Speaker 1: ten seasons through Paul George being there through him and Sabonis,
14:38
Speaker 1: through Oladipo to now Tyre's Hayler Burton and company making
14:41
Speaker 1: it to the NBA Finals. It's a very crucial part
14:44
Speaker 1: to the team that made it to the NBA Finals,
14:46
Speaker 1: even if he didn't necessarily play that well in the
14:48
Speaker 1: last couple games of the postseason. It's like, I'm I'm
14:52
Speaker 1: trying to convince myself one way or another and not
14:54
Speaker 1: play the middle ground here. But I truly can see
14:56
Speaker 1: it multiple different ways. Right, Miles Turner was extremely important
14:59
Speaker 1: to what they did, but he also was not potentially
15:01
Speaker 1: not the perfect fit, and the money that he wanted,
15:03
Speaker 1: they just didn't feel like it.
15:05
Speaker 2: Was worth paying. That's one way.
15:07
Speaker 1: The other way is like, hey, ownership hasn't went into
15:09
Speaker 1: the luxury tax, even though they've said they were willing to.
15:11
Speaker 1: The Turner team has a different opinion. Who the hell knows.
15:14
Speaker 1: Another way could look at it and say, hey, man,
15:15
Speaker 1: this team won't go into the luxury tax potentially, and
15:19
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do about that. They didn't
15:20
Speaker 1: want to pay Miles Turner an extra amount of money
15:22
Speaker 1: if they knew that next year is going to be
15:23
Speaker 1: a gap year, and they may have plans and set
15:26
Speaker 1: that when Tyres Halliburn come back, so and so player
15:28
Speaker 1: is going to be our starting center. He could do
15:29
Speaker 1: everything mouse Turner can do and more. Maybe we even
15:32
Speaker 1: changed the type of archetype we have for the center position.
15:34
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not mouse Turner, a stretch five but instead
15:36
Speaker 1: of somebody that's more of a rim rolling big.
15:38
Speaker 2: We don't know.
15:39
Speaker 1: So they gave it an F because they weren't able
15:41
Speaker 1: to bring back mouse Turner and they didn't do anything else,
15:44
Speaker 1: which I don't want to do anything else, if I'm
15:46
Speaker 1: being honest with you, But the mouse turned thing could.
15:48
Speaker 2: Have potentially hurt for sure Clippers. They gave it an eight.
15:51
Speaker 2: Mine is no notes.
15:52
Speaker 1: Man.
15:52
Speaker 2: This team might be super damn old, but Devin, I'm
15:54
Speaker 2: gonna be here.
15:54
Speaker 1: I'm gona be loving it when the Clippers play the
15:56
Speaker 1: Bulls in Chicago, whenever the schedule come out, best believe
15:59
Speaker 1: I'm there, damn it. I might even say, course at
16:01
Speaker 1: my goat is going out on his last season. I
16:04
Speaker 1: want to be there with a goddamn this this exact
16:07
Speaker 1: jersey but the number three on it because I love
16:09
Speaker 1: me from Chris Paul and now he's gonna be a
16:11
Speaker 1: backup for basically what the second time of his NBA career.
16:14
Speaker 1: When you think about the Warriors signing as well, this
16:17
Speaker 1: is going to be pretty interesting. I think they got
16:18
Speaker 1: enough bodies on the team that, even though they're they're
16:20
Speaker 1: a geriatric team up top, that they have in them
16:22
Speaker 1: bodies that like, hey, if Kawhi Len is going to
16:24
Speaker 1: miss some time, which you know, or if Chris Paul
16:27
Speaker 1: going some time, which hey, he played all eighty two
16:29
Speaker 1: last season ago, so who knows. But all these older
16:31
Speaker 1: guys don't have to do too much for the Clippers
16:34
Speaker 1: to still be good because a lot of the players
16:36
Speaker 1: that they added on, they didn't really lose out on
16:38
Speaker 1: the players that were already there. Other than Norman Powell
16:40
Speaker 1: being traded, right, you still got Katie Christill, and you
16:43
Speaker 1: still got you still got Derrick Jones shooting, and you're
16:46
Speaker 1: a so on and so forth. A great offseason for them,
16:48
Speaker 1: all things considered, and they put a lot of eggs
16:50
Speaker 1: in his.
16:50
Speaker 2: Basket, which makes sense. I mean, it's not.
16:52
Speaker 1: That long that you have James and Kawhi playing at
16:55
Speaker 1: this level, So let's go for it. And I hope
16:56
Speaker 1: that we get some good injury luck and get the
16:58
Speaker 1: right side of the bracket, and just like that we
17:00
Speaker 1: being a conference finals, or just like that we might
17:01
Speaker 1: be representing the Western conferin of the finals.
17:03
Speaker 2: Who the hell knows. It's July right now. The Lakers
17:06
Speaker 2: they have as a D.
17:07
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I am more positive about the Lakers offseason
17:13
Speaker 1: than consensus. I don't think it was a great offseason.
17:16
Speaker 1: Do not get me wrong. I definitely wouldn't put it
17:18
Speaker 1: as a D. But I also wouldn't put it as
17:20
Speaker 1: a hell even a B. I'll probably go closer to C.
17:23
Speaker 1: Here's why I think I'm looking at a lot of
17:25
Speaker 1: the moves in the vacuum. DeAndre Aiden on a two year,
17:28
Speaker 1: eight million dollar a year deal good a district considering
17:32
Speaker 1: who was just on the team before him at the
17:34
Speaker 1: central position shot Jackson Hayes g oh no, actually no,
17:37
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes and Trey Jamison Trey Jamison upgrade. I think
17:40
Speaker 1: about Marcus Smart being on the team, and though Marcus
17:42
Speaker 1: Smart has played seven games in the last six years,
17:44
Speaker 1: at least that's what it feels like.
17:46
Speaker 2: If you could get at.
17:47
Speaker 1: Least a decently healthy Marcus Smart season and listen, he
17:50
Speaker 1: ain't been very good in those handful of games he's
17:53
Speaker 1: played over the last couple of years, But getting him
17:55
Speaker 1: into the door on a minimum, I feel like that's
17:57
Speaker 1: a win considering even if he can't shoot anymore, if
17:59
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, he will still be a plus defender.
18:01
Speaker 1: He won't be the guy that's chasing around the young
18:03
Speaker 1: guards and across ball no more. But he's still gonna
18:06
Speaker 1: be one of the best defensive players on the entire team.
18:09
Speaker 2: So in the vacuum, this is all pretty cool. But
18:11
Speaker 2: you also think.
18:11
Speaker 1: About, oh my god, Lebron James, he is forty years old.
18:14
Speaker 1: Are we not trying to win right now? Oh my god,
18:16
Speaker 1: Luka Donci is over here, And though there's rumors that
18:18
Speaker 1: he's gonna resign, which if they if Luca Nancis resigns
18:20
Speaker 1: his offseason, this d turns to an A plus. I
18:22
Speaker 1: don't give a damn about anything else. If you if
18:24
Speaker 1: you lock Luca up, is a win. But I understand
18:26
Speaker 1: losing DFS, but I think that the Lakers are still gonna.
18:29
Speaker 2: Be a good team. That is that breaking news.
18:31
Speaker 1: Like, I don't think they're gonna win no damn championship
18:33
Speaker 1: or nothing, but I think they're gonna be a good team. Still,
18:36
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, there's some identity issues right where you still
18:39
Speaker 1: are not a Luca team, at least on paper, and
18:42
Speaker 1: you're also not a Bron team, where you're stuck in
18:44
Speaker 1: this middle place.
18:45
Speaker 2: I understand that.
18:46
Speaker 1: But they still got Luka Nancas, and I promise you
18:48
Speaker 1: there are a few players in basketball I just I
18:50
Speaker 1: just pencil his teams and to be good, I just do.
18:53
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, I'm penciling with Man and Bron if
18:56
Speaker 1: he's healthy. He's a similar type of guy. Anyway, The
19:00
Speaker 1: Missus Grizzlies interesting offseason. Obviously, you got the Desert Bang
19:03
Speaker 1: deal that they did when they got a Gazian first
19:04
Speaker 1: round picks where they be valuable who they all knows.
19:06
Speaker 1: They bring back Aldama, they bring back.
19:09
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no.
19:09
Speaker 1: It turns to a five year, two hundred and five
19:11
Speaker 1: million dollar deal for our guy, Jared Zaxus junior Ti
19:15
Speaker 1: Jerome on a really good deal considering all things. But
19:18
Speaker 1: we don't know about Ti Jerome right now. Shout out
19:20
Speaker 1: to him. They got that as a b By the way,
19:21
Speaker 1: they don't know much about We don't know much about
19:23
Speaker 1: Tie Jerome is what he did last year sustainable considering
19:27
Speaker 1: that's basically the only year for his NBA career where
19:29
Speaker 1: he was like really positive.
19:30
Speaker 2: I don't really know.
19:31
Speaker 1: But it's not a bad offseason for the Grizzies. They
19:33
Speaker 1: just are. So it's unfortunate for them that this team
19:36
Speaker 1: is built in the Western Conference. Bro, they really need
19:39
Speaker 1: expansion to happen so they can move to the East.
19:41
Speaker 1: Them are the Pelicans. I don't know which you won't
19:43
Speaker 1: move to the East, but like so they if this
19:44
Speaker 1: team was in the Eastern Conference, I think we look
19:46
Speaker 1: at them to be like, yeah, that's like a four seed.
19:48
Speaker 2: But in the Western Conference, you're like, damn, I don't know, Bro,
19:52
Speaker 2: I don't know.
19:52
Speaker 1: Miami Heat. I can't be mad at that heat. They
19:55
Speaker 1: may basically one big move and it was to get
19:57
Speaker 1: Norman Powell in the door, and they cast anything like
20:00
Speaker 1: obviously it's not a team. I'm looking at me like, oh,
20:02
Speaker 1: that's a Chamionship pretender. But again, if we're just grading
20:04
Speaker 1: what the offseason was getting in Norman Powell, who's a
20:07
Speaker 1: twenty point per game scorer for nothing, win, even if
20:11
Speaker 1: it doesn't take you to the next level, even if
20:13
Speaker 1: it doesn't jump you up a couple different spots. normOn
20:16
Speaker 1: Palace to get Hooper, and you got them for nothing.
20:18
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks to have it as c minus. You
20:21
Speaker 1: bought a day. You use some of that money to
20:24
Speaker 1: go get mouse Turner. So now mouse Turner's basically worth
20:27
Speaker 1: fifty something million dollars. You bring back Bobby Portis, you
20:30
Speaker 1: bring back Round Rollis, you bring back Kevin Porter and Junior.
20:33
Speaker 1: You're bringing back Gary Trent Junior, you bring back Jericho SAMs,
20:36
Speaker 1: you bring Backtorian Prince. Less than twenty million can bind
20:40
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize.
20:40
Speaker 2: It was that bad. And then you bring a Gary
20:42
Speaker 2: Harris listen. I don't know.
20:44
Speaker 1: The only thing that matters is if Gianni's happened. That
20:47
Speaker 1: might be a cop out. It's the same thing I
20:48
Speaker 1: mentioning with Luca. If Luca signs extension, their grey goes
20:51
Speaker 1: on a plus. If Giannis is clean and keen to
20:54
Speaker 1: sticking around, then anything you did right here is is cool.
20:58
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
20:59
Speaker 1: Like, yes, twenty two million dollar damn money for five
21:03
Speaker 1: years is nuts.
21:04
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
21:06
Speaker 1: But if honest it's happen, and all you hope for,
21:08
Speaker 1: if you are the Milwaukee Bucks, a team, that's not
21:11
Speaker 1: competing this season.
21:11
Speaker 2: Let's be real.
21:12
Speaker 1: All you can hope for is if there's enough for
21:16
Speaker 1: Gianni's could be like, oh next year, huh, oh, two
21:19
Speaker 1: years from now, huh. That's all you're trying to buy
21:22
Speaker 1: time until you can do the thing. I don't know
21:25
Speaker 1: what that thing is. Hell, you put a lot of
21:26
Speaker 1: tips in the basket already, you put a lot of
21:28
Speaker 1: tips to get in Damian Love that didn't necessarily work out.
21:31
Speaker 1: All you're trying to do is bypass time. And though
21:34
Speaker 1: on paper this Bucks team does not look good.
21:37
Speaker 4: They do got this guy here, which in the Eastern
21:40
Speaker 4: when you have the best player in the entire conference,
21:43
Speaker 4: I'm just penciling you in, like if he's healthy, I'm
21:46
Speaker 4: penciling in the Bucks for at least just a healthy,
21:48
Speaker 4: honest season at least forty two wins.
21:51
Speaker 1: And then now you can account for so and so
21:53
Speaker 1: having a good season, and so and so and having
21:55
Speaker 1: a good season just like Dag You're looking pretty solid.
21:57
Speaker 2: So it's really just depending on you.
21:58
Speaker 1: Honest, I didn't love it this stuff, but John's is
22:00
Speaker 1: on the team and he seems to be I the
22:02
Speaker 1: Minnesota Temples, they gave it a C. They basically just
22:05
Speaker 1: brought a lot of people back. They lost to the
22:07
Speaker 1: Kielvis to Walker, which time of Taylor. If that's a
22:09
Speaker 1: bad loss or not. But I will say losing a
22:13
Speaker 1: guy like him stings a lot less when you have
22:15
Speaker 1: a guy similar to him just waiting. Like I really
22:17
Speaker 1: do think that Aryon Shannon Junior is gonna be a
22:19
Speaker 1: real player for them in this season. And though they're
22:22
Speaker 1: not one to one type of players, I truly do
22:24
Speaker 1: like Tarren Shannon's game and I like that back in Illinois.
22:27
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, nik Kylazender leaving does hurt, but
22:30
Speaker 1: you might just have that guy. They got a lot
22:32
Speaker 1: of money between Gobert and nas Read ninety signe Central
22:34
Speaker 1: and Julius Randall in.
22:36
Speaker 2: That front court.
22:37
Speaker 1: Oh let's say they say last year Linus with go
22:40
Speaker 1: Bear center and Read on the bench, posted a plus
22:43
Speaker 1: six point nine at rating that owned the ninety first
22:46
Speaker 1: PERCENTIL defensive RANAA We're Read in the middle and go
22:48
Speaker 1: Bear out of the game. Minnesota interior was a plus. Okay,
22:52
Speaker 1: well I don't mind it.
22:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not great. It's not great.
22:56
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna be relying on some people that
22:58
Speaker 1: gain in Terrence Shannon Junior and Robert dyling Ham who
23:01
Speaker 1: haven't really had the opportunity to play big time minutes.
23:03
Speaker 1: Even though Terry sand and Junior did give us that
23:05
Speaker 1: game in the postseason. They have Anthony Edwards on the team.
23:08
Speaker 1: If we're great offseason, I think it's see makes sense again.
23:10
Speaker 1: I gotta keep remembering that's what we're doing. We're greanty
23:12
Speaker 1: off season, not the team see Pelicans. If I had
23:15
Speaker 1: the guests, they got the Pelicans in like a D plus. Yeah,
23:19
Speaker 1: they gave it.
23:19
Speaker 2: Have they been given plus grades? No? Oh, they have
23:21
Speaker 2: plus and minus six. They've gotten this ne f all right.
23:24
Speaker 1: You know I had a clip go summer viral about
23:28
Speaker 1: about the trade that they pulled off, which was, you know,
23:30
Speaker 1: trading the unprotected pick from next season to the Atlanta
23:33
Speaker 1: Hawks to move up to the spot to get Derrick Queen.
23:35
Speaker 1: One thing that was taken out of context. It was
23:37
Speaker 1: not a shot at Derek Queen. I think I may
23:39
Speaker 1: have even said that in the clip. I don't know
23:40
Speaker 1: if that part got misunderstood. Nothing that I said about
23:43
Speaker 1: what the Pelicans have done this offseason is a shot
23:45
Speaker 1: at d Queen, who I hope is just the best
23:47
Speaker 1: of all time, shout out to my guy. But it's
23:50
Speaker 1: it's like, even if Derick Queen turns out to be
23:52
Speaker 1: a thirty time All Star, he's not gonna do a
23:55
Speaker 1: next season. So you ask yourself, you know, obviously you're
23:58
Speaker 1: you're really counting on dear Queen becoming a like an
24:00
Speaker 1: All Star or like at the Baarman on an All
24:02
Speaker 1: Star one day that if he doesn't, was it worth
24:05
Speaker 1: giving up a pick that might end up being top ten?
24:08
Speaker 1: Because though they have so many intriguing player shout out,
24:10
Speaker 1: so they got they got our guy, Herb Jones back
24:13
Speaker 1: on a short extension or a cheap extension, which we love.
24:16
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna give it an F because of
24:18
Speaker 1: Herb Jones extension. But I look at their roster and
24:21
Speaker 1: I say, there are so many intriguing pieces from yeah,
24:24
Speaker 1: Jordan Pool who's coming off of good season, to Herb Jones,
24:26
Speaker 1: to Trey Murphy to Zion to East Missy too, like
24:30
Speaker 1: all they have so many interesting players. But I just
24:33
Speaker 1: look at it and I look at the constant the
24:34
Speaker 1: end and that like it's the ceiling, the seventh seed
24:38
Speaker 1: at the like if they have the best year, is
24:40
Speaker 1: there sealing the seventh seed, and you gave up a
24:43
Speaker 1: first round pick for a team that the ceiling might
24:46
Speaker 1: be the seventh seed. I just only time to tell
24:50
Speaker 1: on whether or not the twenty twenty six pickar that
24:52
Speaker 1: gave up is going to be valuable. But as of today,
24:54
Speaker 1: at all of the assets that were trading this offseason,
24:57
Speaker 1: that's the one that's at the top. Like, that's like
24:59
Speaker 1: the top that was traded in a goddamn off season.
25:02
Speaker 1: And Kevin Durrant got traded.
25:04
Speaker 2: That's nuts, that's so nuts. Not getting a top four protection,
25:09
Speaker 2: a top five protection.
25:10
Speaker 1: I guarantee that line Hoss will still say, Yes, New
25:12
Speaker 1: York Knicks not a bad offseason whatsoever. The biggest acquisition
25:15
Speaker 1: is this man right here. I love Gershaon Yabusel. I
25:18
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a guy that's gonna be able
25:19
Speaker 1: to play playoff minutes. At the end of the day,
25:22
Speaker 1: the Knicks are not playing for the eighty two. They're
25:24
Speaker 1: playing for the posting at this point, right Gershaon Yabusele
25:26
Speaker 1: is a guy that I believe can play playoff minutes
25:29
Speaker 1: next season if he replicates what he did last season.
25:32
Speaker 1: And then, like Jordan Clarkson is a more of an
25:34
Speaker 1: eighty two game player right to help you get to
25:37
Speaker 1: the point where you're in the postsea. So I think
25:38
Speaker 1: it was a good offseason. I would probably go a
25:40
Speaker 1: straight up B instead of a B minus. Shout out
25:42
Speaker 1: to them next week, got or reigning champion can't say
25:45
Speaker 1: anything because they didn't do anything other than bringing guys back.
25:47
Speaker 1: The Orlando Magic end up losing KCP Cole Anthony and
25:51
Speaker 1: Gary here is broing in Desimbang and Tights Jones. I've
25:54
Speaker 1: just spent a lot of time yesterday watching a ton
25:56
Speaker 1: of Palovan Carol trying to figure out, like, yeah, the
25:58
Speaker 1: design Banking acquisition, how much is open a game up
26:00
Speaker 1: for him? And I'm excited to you know, I'm gonna
26:02
Speaker 1: deep dive into in the video eventually. But it's a
26:05
Speaker 1: really good offseason. Obviously they spent Hey man, I now
26:07
Speaker 1: got two kids, and y'all just got to live with
26:10
Speaker 1: the background yell and screaming and stuff, because that's is
26:14
Speaker 1: what kids do. Yes, they did give up a lot
26:17
Speaker 1: at least on paper for desim Bang, but I don't
26:20
Speaker 1: think that's something that you should care about right now,
26:23
Speaker 1: of like the people that again, this is why I
26:25
Speaker 1: did that that deep dive footage wise on the Palavan
26:28
Speaker 1: Carol thing. Of all the people that you thought might
26:30
Speaker 1: have been available to play alongside Palo in France, I
26:33
Speaker 1: think that Desi bang without it being like a superstar, right,
26:37
Speaker 1: I think that Desenbane is super high on that list
26:39
Speaker 1: right as a creator, as a shot maker, as a
26:42
Speaker 1: shot like, there's so many things to be really intrigued about,
26:44
Speaker 1: and they already have the infrastructure defensively to hold Desimbane down.
26:49
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe a little overrated defensively, at least
26:51
Speaker 1: to the general public. But yeah, I think this off season, yeah,
26:55
Speaker 1: b makes a lot of sense to me. I'm gonna
26:56
Speaker 1: agree with your grant. Next, you have the seventy six
26:58
Speaker 1: ers who didn't do anything other than to draft VJ. Edgecomb,
27:02
Speaker 1: who we really like. Shout out to them, but that's yeah,
27:04
Speaker 1: that's really all they really did.
27:06
Speaker 2: The Phoenix Suns they have is a D minus.
27:09
Speaker 1: Okay, this is okay. I was trying to figure out
27:12
Speaker 1: this last sentence says it all. He's great in the
27:15
Speaker 1: offseason based on what he think the team should do,
27:17
Speaker 1: which is blowing up, not the actualization of the offseason.
27:20
Speaker 2: Right. I think we can all.
27:21
Speaker 1: Agree that the Phoenix Suns are probably better all blowing
27:24
Speaker 1: it up, right, Regardless, they're not gonna do that. They're
27:26
Speaker 1: gonna stick with their guy, Devin Booker and try to
27:27
Speaker 1: put a competent team around them and if there is,
27:29
Speaker 1: if that is their goal. They did an okay enough
27:32
Speaker 1: job given the fact that it felt like they didn't
27:36
Speaker 1: have a lot of outs. You know, the Kevin Durant trade,
27:38
Speaker 1: because we knew he was going to be traded. There's
27:41
Speaker 1: not a lot of leverage to be traded in the
27:42
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old, right, we knew he wanted to
27:44
Speaker 1: get out. We knew he only wanted to go to
27:46
Speaker 1: three different teams, and or all things considered, they.
27:48
Speaker 2: Got a top pick, a top ten pick.
27:50
Speaker 1: They got in Jalen Green, who say what you want
27:52
Speaker 1: about Jaalen Green, he ain't the perfect player, but he's
27:55
Speaker 1: far away from being.
27:56
Speaker 2: An awful, awful ball player.
27:58
Speaker 1: And then Dylan Brooks, who continue just provides stuff on
28:01
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball.
28:02
Speaker 2: Even though I really hate watching.
28:04
Speaker 1: Play of times, So considering that I don't hate the offseason,
28:08
Speaker 1: like yeah, it makes more sense to go to the opposite
28:10
Speaker 1: direction and go ahead and try to get acquire your
28:12
Speaker 1: own first rounders or trade dem Booker to this to
28:14
Speaker 1: get some more first rounders.
28:16
Speaker 2: But that's not the route that they're trying to do.
28:17
Speaker 1: They had a goal, and I think if that is
28:19
Speaker 1: their goal, even if it's not gonna materialize to be
28:22
Speaker 1: forty wins or even damn it might not materialize to
28:24
Speaker 1: be thirty five, that I think they executed that.
28:27
Speaker 2: A little bit.
28:28
Speaker 1: Like I said this before last year, they had Kevin
28:32
Speaker 1: Run Devin Booker on the team, they were almost unwatchable,
28:34
Speaker 1: but like like, no, no, almost, they were unwatchable as
28:36
Speaker 1: a team.
28:36
Speaker 2: There's some more intriguing stuff in Phoenix now I can't
28:39
Speaker 2: wait to watch.
28:40
Speaker 1: And maybe that dies out by February, maybe that dies
28:42
Speaker 1: out by December.
28:43
Speaker 2: I don't know, but there are some intriguing stuff.
28:45
Speaker 1: I hate the fact that every time they'd be like, oh, yeah,
28:47
Speaker 1: Devin book is gonna be a poinker. Oh Jayleen Green
28:49
Speaker 1: is gonna be a poarnker, All Bradle Bial's gonna be
28:51
Speaker 1: a poinner. I feel like I've read an article about
28:53
Speaker 1: all of these guys, specially being in their point guard
28:54
Speaker 1: at one time in the last two years. I would
28:56
Speaker 1: love for them to go get a point guard, but
28:57
Speaker 1: they don't have that. And Ark Williams he can hoop
29:01
Speaker 1: if his body let him.
29:03
Speaker 2: Portland, they gave it a b.
29:05
Speaker 1: Hey guess what, Damian Little is home and that is
29:07
Speaker 1: enough for me to give him an a No the
29:10
Speaker 1: p trub Blaze. They have an intriguing team. I even
29:13
Speaker 1: made the tweet like what does this start line up
29:15
Speaker 1: look like because we were having a conversation about like
29:17
Speaker 1: school Henderson versus Shane Sharp or so on and so forth,
29:20
Speaker 1: or do they both if one of them starts to
29:21
Speaker 1: neither of them starts?
29:22
Speaker 2: Whatever? Uh.
29:23
Speaker 1: They poured out one of the biggest woes of the
29:25
Speaker 1: trade of the draft when they brought in.
29:27
Speaker 2: Yang Yan Hanson. Sorry if I've misconounding that.
29:34
Speaker 1: Other than that, it's like the Drew Holiday acquisition, which
29:36
Speaker 1: did cost of anything after those second round picks got voided.
29:39
Speaker 2: So it's it's fine.
29:41
Speaker 1: I'm excited about them, though, mostly because that defense that
29:44
Speaker 1: they had last season.
29:45
Speaker 2: At the end of last season, I don't I feel
29:47
Speaker 2: like part of that is real and I just added
29:48
Speaker 2: your Holiday.
29:49
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know who the hell is gonna
29:50
Speaker 1: put the ball in the basket for them, But boy,
29:52
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to defend against them, so or
29:54
Speaker 1: to score against them.
29:55
Speaker 2: Cool.
29:55
Speaker 1: The Kings, I don't love any I don't like anything
29:57
Speaker 1: the Kings did. It just this is a lot of money.
29:59
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of money. And Denis Shrewder and yes,
30:01
Speaker 1: he played so well they got his a D minus.
30:03
Speaker 1: He played so well for Detroit after he got there.
30:07
Speaker 1: But there is a reason he's been on thirteen different teams. Man,
30:10
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Kings are just.
30:15
Speaker 2: Next.
30:15
Speaker 1: We got the San Antonio Spurs, who they gave a B.
30:18
Speaker 1: I really really do like the center acquisitions that they got.
30:22
Speaker 1: They got two guys and Louke Cornett and Kelly Olennok
30:24
Speaker 1: who can play alone or play alone side Victor Iviyama,
30:27
Speaker 1: and I just can't wait to see some of the
30:28
Speaker 1: line up so they end up putting out there. What
30:30
Speaker 1: will happen with Dylan Harper, we don't really know right now.
30:33
Speaker 1: How much room will he get to grow as a rookie,
30:35
Speaker 1: We don't know. But again, just great in the offseason.
30:38
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at the grade they gave them, which
30:39
Speaker 1: is a B, because yeah, the center exist was cool
30:42
Speaker 1: because like when Winny went off the court, Obviously, when
30:44
Speaker 1: you have a guy as good as Winby, the own
30:45
Speaker 1: off numbers are always going to be skewed because he's
30:46
Speaker 1: that damn talented. But it's just so many other players,
30:50
Speaker 1: and shout out to Mamu because he was he was
30:53
Speaker 1: yet the one game with Flavor and the tennis. But
30:56
Speaker 1: lu Cortnett is a real good basketball player, at least
30:58
Speaker 1: he was the last two years. Hell, who the hell knows.
31:00
Speaker 1: You leave Boston, maybe some stuff happens. But in Kayler
31:03
Speaker 1: Lennok he could be all right sometime. The Toronto Raptors
31:05
Speaker 1: didn't do a lot. They just got Yaka Purdle on
31:07
Speaker 1: an extension. Kylin Murray Bores was one of my interesting,
31:10
Speaker 1: more interesting players in this draft. Nobody has a question
31:12
Speaker 1: about the defense. I think that's gonna be real at
31:14
Speaker 1: an NBA level from day one. The question is will
31:16
Speaker 1: he ever be able to be a plus offensively without
31:19
Speaker 1: him having to, I don't know, have the ball in
31:22
Speaker 1: his hands to make those plays.
31:24
Speaker 2: Kitty hit some shots, the three pointers. I don't know.
31:27
Speaker 1: They gave it a D because I think brandon ingram extension.
31:30
Speaker 1: That didn't happen this offseason, right, that happened during the
31:32
Speaker 1: regular season if I'm not mistaken, So I'm not gonna count that,
31:35
Speaker 1: and you're great. They really just brought by Yacka Perle
31:37
Speaker 1: you Tad Jazz fifth overall pick. They waited too long,
31:40
Speaker 1: They gave it a sea, They waited too long with
31:42
Speaker 1: all of it. Every single guy that they got rid
31:43
Speaker 1: of this offseason I felt like had some level of
31:46
Speaker 1: value over the last couple of years. Jordan Clarkson, Colin Sexton,
31:50
Speaker 1: John Collin, Well, maybe not John Collins. I feel like
31:52
Speaker 1: he's one of the black forever. But those other guys
31:54
Speaker 1: I felt like had some value across the league at
31:56
Speaker 1: one point, and most of the guys either bought out
32:00
Speaker 1: or traded for nothing.
32:01
Speaker 2: So I can't love that part.
32:02
Speaker 1: I do like that they are completely saying, Okay, we're
32:05
Speaker 1: gonna win twenty games next season, and we're gonna do
32:07
Speaker 1: it with our young guys. So Ace Bailey, Bryce Sense
32:09
Speaker 1: the Ball, Isaiah Coleer, Walter Clayton, all of y'all just
32:13
Speaker 1: got to go out there hoop and whatever happens happens.
32:15
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting, and yeah, we want to the
32:18
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards to another one of those teams that did
32:20
Speaker 1: a lot of moves around the edges.
32:23
Speaker 2: Love it. Sorry y'all at the end of the video, I
32:25
Speaker 2: don't know.
32:26
Speaker 1: I feel like every day I get tweeted a clip
32:28
Speaker 1: that I've said about the goddamn wizards. I don't know
32:31
Speaker 1: what else I can really say. All Right, I'm I'm
32:33
Speaker 1: out of
