This Year’s NBA GM Survey Blows My Mind… · Kenny For Real

0:00
Speaker 1: This morning, the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six GM
0:02
Speaker 1: survey came out, and I've been itching to react to
0:05
Speaker 1: it with y'all. I have not seen a single one
0:06
Speaker 1: of these other than getting the notification, so I'm excited
0:09
Speaker 1: to see what the gms think. GM Survey's one of
0:12
Speaker 1: my favorite offseason things. Shout out to JOHNS Schumann, who's
0:14
Speaker 1: been doing this since two thousand and two, because it
0:16
Speaker 1: gives you a snapshot of what the gms think about
0:19
Speaker 1: players before the season starts. I like to flip through them.
0:22
Speaker 1: How is two thousand and seven different in two thousand
0:25
Speaker 1: and eight? Who blossomed?
0:26
Speaker 2: Who failed? It showcases that.
0:28
Speaker 1: Gms, even though we all notice, are human as well.
0:31
Speaker 1: Where they can predict the best player in an NBA
0:34
Speaker 1: draft five years from now, and that player can be
0:36
Speaker 1: completely out of the league. The biggest offseason acquisition going
0:39
Speaker 1: into the season may not pan out to be the
0:41
Speaker 1: actual biggest offseason acquisition. Who is the best point guard
0:45
Speaker 1: in the league and how will that change next season?
0:47
Speaker 1: There's so many different things I love about this, but enough, Yeah,
0:49
Speaker 1: let's get into it. So, yeah, you can go all
0:51
Speaker 1: the way back to two thousand and two, which is
0:52
Speaker 1: crazy agains. Shout out to John Schuman. Let's start off
0:55
Speaker 1: with the predictions aspect of it all. What team will
0:57
Speaker 1: win the twenty twenty six NBA Finals eighty percent? Eighty
1:01
Speaker 1: percent says the OKAC Thunder. Last year eighty three percent
1:06
Speaker 1: said the Boston Celtics, so of course didn't make it
1:08
Speaker 1: out of the second round. So it's always interested and
1:10
Speaker 1: usually the reign and champion is the favorite going into it.
1:13
Speaker 1: And eighty percent of people in the GM survey agreed
1:16
Speaker 1: to that. Let me read real quick up here. Okay,
1:19
Speaker 1: so this is very important to me. Percentages are based
1:22
Speaker 1: on the pool of respondent, so my god respondents to
1:26
Speaker 1: the particular question, not necessarily all thirty TM, so I
1:30
Speaker 1: finded a cop out. There are questions that GM's like, no,
1:33
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna answer to answer the damn questions. It's
1:35
Speaker 1: all anonymous anyway. So eighty percent says okay, see seven
1:38
Speaker 1: percent of Cleveland, seven percent of Denver. The Rockets also
1:42
Speaker 1: got a vote, and the Knicks also got at least
1:43
Speaker 1: a vote. All right, here are the Eastern Conference rankings
1:47
Speaker 1: according to the GMS. They got Cleveland number one at
1:49
Speaker 1: sixty three percent. Then New York, then Orlando. I'm always
1:52
Speaker 1: curious to see who's gonna be the third team, orlandos.
1:55
Speaker 1: I won't say the consensus, but a lot of people
1:57
Speaker 1: do believe in Orlando. You do got people believe in Milwaukee.
2:01
Speaker 1: You gotta people believing in Detroit as that three seed.
2:04
Speaker 1: But interesting Boston got that got a bit of the
2:07
Speaker 1: four seed vote. Philly. People still believe in Philly. I
2:11
Speaker 1: appreciate that. So last year, the order that they picked
2:13
Speaker 1: with Celtics, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Orlando, Indiana, obviously
2:19
Speaker 1: all of that was, all of that was wrong. Clevelanded
2:22
Speaker 1: up number one, Celtics ended up number two, New York
2:25
Speaker 1: ended up number three, Philadelphia didn't even make the goddamn thing.
2:28
Speaker 1: And then of course, you know Orlando was a playing
2:30
Speaker 1: team that ended up with eight seed or seventh seed.
2:34
Speaker 1: And then Indiana was Indiana and did their thing. The
2:37
Speaker 1: Western Conference. Almost ninety percent of the vote goes to Okay,
2:40
Speaker 1: see being a one seed. The team won sixty eight
2:42
Speaker 1: games last year, if I'm not mistaken, and everybody's back,
2:45
Speaker 1: and they might be healthy completely this year, so it
2:47
Speaker 1: don't surprise me that they will be the one seed.
2:49
Speaker 1: They do have the belief in the Denver Nuggets. Houston
2:52
Speaker 1: got some votes. Who's the most surprised the team to
2:54
Speaker 1: give vote? Yeah, it's surprising to see Dallas and San
2:56
Speaker 1: Antonio get votes because remember, this is not them saying
2:59
Speaker 1: that they're gonna the eight seed. There's at least a
3:02
Speaker 1: GM across basketball that believe that the San Antonio Spurs
3:06
Speaker 1: are gonna be the four seed or that the Dallas
3:07
Speaker 1: Mavericks are gonna be the four seed. That's really fun stuff.
3:11
Speaker 1: All these other guys make sense, right. I could see
3:13
Speaker 1: Minnesota being a four seed or even higher. I could
3:15
Speaker 1: see Golden State being a four seed, Clippers, mint Afores,
3:16
Speaker 1: even the Lakers being a four seed. It is interesting
3:19
Speaker 1: that there are a couple of gms. It's like, no,
3:20
Speaker 1: San Antonio go go from missing the postseason completely to boom.
3:23
Speaker 2: There a four seed.
3:24
Speaker 1: Dallas's gonna go from missing the postseas completely to boom.
3:26
Speaker 1: They're a four seed. Let's get to the player stuff.
3:29
Speaker 1: Who will win the EVP sixty seven percent, says Yokic.
3:34
Speaker 1: Last year they were right forty percent, which is not
3:37
Speaker 1: a majority, but it is the highest percentage, says Shaye,
3:41
Speaker 1: and it ended up being Shae. This time around, they
3:43
Speaker 1: almost won seventy percent.
3:44
Speaker 2: Back to Yokic. You know, Yolkicic have one.
3:47
Speaker 1: I'm not to say down here, this is historically consistent,
3:51
Speaker 1: but year as in not winning the MVP and seventy
3:53
Speaker 1: percent of the GM's like, Noah, it's gonna be him.
3:55
Speaker 1: Luca got ten percent, Shay only eight percent coming off
3:58
Speaker 1: with MVP, an actual MVP on eight percent of GMS
4:01
Speaker 1: think that he can repeat.
4:02
Speaker 2: Women got seven percent.
4:04
Speaker 1: Janni's gotta vote, ain't gotta vote Donald Mitchell, gotta vote.
4:06
Speaker 2: Interesting. I think this crop of guys makes sense.
4:09
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really hard for Donald Mitchell
4:11
Speaker 1: to win MVP because last year his team was the
4:14
Speaker 1: one seed, they were the best offense in the league,
4:17
Speaker 1: they were a top with eight defense, they won sixty
4:20
Speaker 1: plus games, and he wasn't really in the conversation, you know,
4:24
Speaker 1: even though he had a really phenomenal year, taking a
4:26
Speaker 1: step back when it comes to his.
4:28
Speaker 2: Overall shot creating and stuff.
4:30
Speaker 1: So I think in order for him to get it,
4:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, the team gotta win seventy seventy five
4:35
Speaker 1: games or something. I don't know, if you were starting
4:37
Speaker 1: franchest today, and you can sign any player in the
4:39
Speaker 1: NBA who would be eighty three percent of people are
4:41
Speaker 1: saying Victor winbin Yama, which is up.
4:43
Speaker 2: From last year where he has seventy seven percent.
4:46
Speaker 1: Yo could still get at least a vote, and then
4:48
Speaker 1: Shaye got thirteen percent of the vote. But the idea
4:50
Speaker 1: of winby is so alluring to everybody, so I ain't
4:53
Speaker 1: mad at it. Which player forces opposing coaches to make
4:57
Speaker 1: the most adjustments. It is Jokic, Giannis is as seid
5:00
Speaker 1: veteen percent, dang Seth, Curry's at thirteen percent, Luca's down
5:03
Speaker 1: to ten percent.
5:04
Speaker 2: And Shaye is only at three percent. That's I was
5:06
Speaker 2: gonna say.
5:07
Speaker 1: That tells you a lot about the perception of Shaye
5:11
Speaker 1: amongst gms. But also last year, the GMS predicted that
5:14
Speaker 1: Shaye was gonna win the MVP, so it's not like
5:16
Speaker 1: no anti Shaye bias, but three percent feels pretty low.
5:19
Speaker 1: That means one GM said he was the guy. I
5:21
Speaker 1: understand Yoaka's getting a bunch. Luca got thirty three percent
5:24
Speaker 1: of the vote lat year, that was the most, and
5:25
Speaker 1: Luca falls all the way to ten percent. I think
5:27
Speaker 1: Luca's gonna next year we do this exact same video,
5:29
Speaker 1: he's gonna be higher than ten percent. I can almost
5:31
Speaker 1: guarantee you which player is the most likely to have
5:33
Speaker 1: a breakout year. This is one of my favorite questions.
5:35
Speaker 1: Thompson Twins account for.
5:36
Speaker 2: Forty percent of the votes, thirty percent for a ten
5:40
Speaker 2: percent from Asar. Brendan Miller. All right, I'm I'm invested
5:44
Speaker 2: in some B. Mills.
5:45
Speaker 1: I talked about him on my podcast a few days ago.
5:48
Speaker 1: Women Yama having another breakout, so that means they think
5:50
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be like top five. Franz Wagner, I
5:53
Speaker 1: like that vote. Denny Safan Castle, Jalen Green gets a vote,
5:58
Speaker 1: Dollstree barking and stuff, Jaalen Johnson. I agree with that.
6:02
Speaker 1: I think he was in the middle of his breakout
6:03
Speaker 1: before his injury last season. Tavis Maxie another breakout, okay,
6:06
Speaker 1: Alex sar Alprinchton, gooon listen. I just did a little
6:09
Speaker 1: piece on thatl Princhon going on my podcast released tomorrow.
6:12
Speaker 1: If I had one vote, if I had one vote
6:14
Speaker 1: for breakout player, I might give it out Princeton Kenny,
6:17
Speaker 1: he already broke out. Yep, guess what I think he's
6:20
Speaker 1: do it again. I think he's gonna hit a whole
6:22
Speaker 1: nother level, So that would probably be my vote. Zion,
6:25
Speaker 1: gotta vote damn z. Last year, people they predicted Jalen
6:29
Speaker 1: Williams and Jaylen Williams is all NBA, so they know
6:31
Speaker 1: all know some something.
6:33
Speaker 2: They ain't all know some something.
6:34
Speaker 1: Obviously, best point guard in the league Shay at seventy
6:38
Speaker 1: three percent of the vote. Luca got thirty seven percent.
6:41
Speaker 1: But this is what I'm like, all right, this is
6:43
Speaker 1: my okay, Dave. I don't want to Oh no, no John,
6:48
Speaker 1: this is John shooting right, that's who doing this.
6:49
Speaker 2: I forgot that fast.
6:51
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you how to do yo
6:53
Speaker 1: job because you've been so dangone good at it. But
6:56
Speaker 1: for these questions, when we talk about best point guard,
6:59
Speaker 1: shooting guard, small in the league, can we position lock
7:02
Speaker 1: because there's no way that Lucas should get votes here
7:04
Speaker 1: in point guards, here in shooting guards.
7:07
Speaker 2: And win for small forwards.
7:11
Speaker 1: What there's no way he should get votes in three positions?
7:15
Speaker 2: Just can't can't. I just can't. I can't. I can't.
7:18
Speaker 2: I can't. So can we position like?
7:20
Speaker 1: That's my only that's my only look great, smallly look great.
7:24
Speaker 2: It is also funny to see like forty gms.
7:28
Speaker 1: Just like, yeah, Luca Doncis is a small four and
7:30
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, because he gets traded, he plays
7:32
Speaker 1: for new team, he's gotta be a small four. Lebron
7:33
Speaker 1: may be the point guard. Also reason' he get shoot guard,
7:35
Speaker 1: so he's gotta be a small four. It is so
7:37
Speaker 1: very funny, that's the case. But let me take it
7:38
Speaker 1: one at a time. Shay's at one, Lucas at two
7:41
Speaker 1: for point guard, Steph Curry at three, Halliburton at four,
7:44
Speaker 1: and then that's it. Halliburn got one single vote. Shout
7:46
Speaker 1: out to my boy halle get will soon shooting guards
7:49
Speaker 1: Anthony Wards. Yeah, seventy percent of the vote makes sense
7:50
Speaker 1: to me. Donald Mitchell thirteen percent, Lucas against seven percent,
7:54
Speaker 1: Shay at seven percent. Steph Seth Curry in the league
7:59
Speaker 1: for fifteen years and we still still saying shooting.
8:03
Speaker 2: Guard for him, So who's the point guard?
8:05
Speaker 1: Who's who is the point guard of the Golden State
8:08
Speaker 1: Warriors if his name is not Steph Garry even in
8:11
Speaker 1: the league for two damn loan.
8:12
Speaker 2: For this to still happen.
8:14
Speaker 1: At Man went from thirty three percent to seventy percent.
8:17
Speaker 1: Talk about a big old jump. Luca's the best small
8:20
Speaker 1: forward in the league, according to GMS, only in front
8:22
Speaker 1: of Jason Tatum, Kevin Urrant, Lebron James. It's probably the
8:24
Speaker 1: lowest I've seen Lebron James get because he doesn't have
8:26
Speaker 1: a vote anywhere else, not at point guards, not at
8:29
Speaker 1: shooting guards, not at power forwards. Really only seven percent. Wow, Yeah,
8:34
Speaker 1: I mean he's forty one, right. I guess it's not
8:36
Speaker 1: that crazy, but it still Lebron James in the back
8:38
Speaker 1: of my mind, it's still kind of crazy. Kawhi Lennard
8:39
Speaker 1: even got seven percent of the vote. Jaylen Brown got
8:42
Speaker 1: to vote, Jerry Butler got a vote, Jay Doug gotta vote.
8:44
Speaker 1: Tatum had seventy four percent. Again, Luca this year is
8:47
Speaker 1: still crazy. Joannis almost unanimously is the best power forward
8:50
Speaker 1: in the league, which is higher than last year. Evan
8:52
Speaker 1: Mobley does get a voter too, which we respect shot
8:54
Speaker 1: out to my boy Emo the best sender of the
8:56
Speaker 1: league almost unanimously. Nicoley Okich ninety seven percent. Gotta et
8:59
Speaker 1: the highighest percent Yeah, total, highest percent of total votes
9:03
Speaker 1: at a position Jokis's nuts and the center position is
9:07
Speaker 1: not like it's not like we in two thousand and seven,
9:10
Speaker 1: no more. This is a really deep position between him
9:12
Speaker 1: between and B between WINB between I can go on and.
9:16
Speaker 2: All, but yeah, he's that guy. Joanna's got a lot
9:19
Speaker 2: of votes and all the other guys offseason moves. Which
9:23
Speaker 2: team made the best overall.
9:25
Speaker 1: Moves this offseason? The Atlanta Hawks would also get my pick.
9:28
Speaker 1: They got fifty seven or fifty three percent. You got
9:31
Speaker 1: twenty seven for the Houston Rockets, ten percent for Denver,
9:34
Speaker 1: seven percent for Orlando, three percent for Denver. I guess
9:38
Speaker 1: getting none of that tax is really important to these gms.
9:40
Speaker 1: One GM is like, yup, best off season, no what.
9:45
Speaker 1: Whether you think it's a good off season, that's a
9:47
Speaker 1: different question. You think that that off season was better
9:49
Speaker 1: than Orlando's, better than Denvers, better than Houston, and better
9:53
Speaker 1: than Atlanta the team that shed salary to get under caps,
9:58
Speaker 1: that was the best off season to you who it's exposed.
10:01
Speaker 2: This year, that was probably them themselves.
10:03
Speaker 1: The year before that, it was okay see because they
10:05
Speaker 1: acquired as crusso Isaah Hardenstein and they went on to
10:08
Speaker 1: win the championship. Which one player acquisition would be the
10:11
Speaker 1: biggest impact? Kevin Urrant seventy three percent. Yes, doesn't Bane
10:16
Speaker 1: a number two or seventeen percent? But last year they
10:18
Speaker 1: did say Paul George and that did not work out.
10:21
Speaker 1: Drew Howday got to vote, My mouse turning gotta vote,
10:23
Speaker 1: and Cooper Flagg got to vote as well. What is
10:25
Speaker 1: the most underrated? Oh player acquisition? That's in Bane's number
10:29
Speaker 1: one and seventeen percent. But this is always cool because
10:30
Speaker 1: it will be all over the place, Cam Johnson, Porzingis,
10:34
Speaker 1: Lines of Ball, John Collins, Joorphidy Smith, Holiday, Luke Cornett.
10:38
Speaker 2: Anybody here? Who would I who? If I had to
10:40
Speaker 2: take a vote? Sheeesh? I would?
10:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean underrated? Is it underrated when you give
10:46
Speaker 1: a four first round picks to make it happen? I
10:47
Speaker 1: think people recognize Deserbate's value, But yeah, I guess that's right.
10:51
Speaker 1: Which team will improve will be most improved? Orlando's number one?
10:54
Speaker 1: I could Yeah, Orlando was with the eighth C last year.
10:57
Speaker 1: I could definitely see them be in the top four
10:58
Speaker 1: seat this season. So that is an extreme amount of
11:00
Speaker 1: improvement from playoff team to really good playoff team. Atlanta's
11:04
Speaker 1: number two, San Antonio seventy six is I understand why
11:07
Speaker 1: you would do that because they were all injured last season,
11:10
Speaker 1: and if you are a glass pass full type of guy,
11:13
Speaker 1: you probably think that they can't be this injury this year,
11:15
Speaker 1: even though jere McCain has already injured. The Pelicans are right.
11:19
Speaker 1: And then the year before that, they said Memphis and
11:21
Speaker 1: Memphis was I mean, yeah, Memphis went from one of
11:24
Speaker 1: the bottom teams to a playoff team. So you give
11:26
Speaker 1: that like it was an injury real season, but I
11:28
Speaker 1: keep forgetting that Memphis was in that.
11:29
Speaker 2: One eight matchup versus Okce.
11:31
Speaker 1: It happened like the season series over like that, even
11:33
Speaker 1: though John Ray had kind of figured them out in
11:35
Speaker 1: his own words, what was the most surprising move has
11:38
Speaker 1: to be danged, It has to be the dang thing.
11:39
Speaker 2: I remember when that happened.
11:40
Speaker 1: We sent on the podcast set like, what the hell
11:42
Speaker 1: is this nortification we're getting? First it was Miles Turner
11:45
Speaker 1: with Milwaukee were like, how the hell they get that
11:47
Speaker 1: money to do that?
11:48
Speaker 2: And it boom. David Lilard stretched in wave so they
11:51
Speaker 2: that whole transaction accounted for seventy three percent of votes.
11:55
Speaker 1: The Atlanta New Orleans Draft. They trade is the craziest
11:59
Speaker 1: one I think. And then Celtics breaking up their core
12:02
Speaker 1: is not surprising if you were really locked in. We
12:03
Speaker 1: talked about that for like two years before it happened.
12:06
Speaker 1: Look at me telling, uh, there's at least two GMS
12:08
Speaker 1: or one GM in the league. I just told he's
12:10
Speaker 1: not locked in enough.
12:10
Speaker 2: Let me slow down.
12:11
Speaker 1: But that's not crazy, right, Like, we went into it
12:13
Speaker 1: knowing that this was the last dance. Even if they
12:14
Speaker 1: did win the championship, there was no way everybody's gonna
12:16
Speaker 1: be back. DeAndre Aiden sound with the Lakers. I think
12:19
Speaker 1: him signed with the Lakers is not surprising. Him getting
12:21
Speaker 1: stretched wave the stretch was the surprising part to me.
12:24
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior to Brooklyn Dennis Shrewder Jan Hanson, Yeah,
12:28
Speaker 1: that was pretty surprising the moment I give him that.
12:30
Speaker 1: Now we get to the rookies and international players who
12:32
Speaker 1: win the MVP. Cooper Flagg got almost all the votes,
12:34
Speaker 1: Reece Sheppard got half the votes. It was a weird year,
12:36
Speaker 1: the twenty four twenty five year, So I'm not even
12:39
Speaker 1: mad at them having re sheperd Nobody knew exactly what's
12:42
Speaker 1: gonna happen, what was gonna happen? Which rookie would be
12:44
Speaker 1: the best of five years? They got Cooper Flag, they
12:47
Speaker 1: had Ree Sheppard last year, and they had James Wiseman
12:49
Speaker 1: five years ago. That's over LaMelo, that's over a man,
12:53
Speaker 1: that's over.
12:53
Speaker 2: Wow.
12:55
Speaker 1: I didn't even I can't tell you right now if
12:56
Speaker 1: James Wiseman is on a roster that sill Man, which
13:03
Speaker 1: rookie was the biggest steal where he was selected in
13:05
Speaker 1: the draft. They got Kaspar yakashonas yeah at pick twenty.
13:09
Speaker 1: At one point in the middle of last.
13:11
Speaker 2: Colle season, he was riley projected to be top ten
13:14
Speaker 2: and he win that number twenty. A's Bailey at five.
13:16
Speaker 1: People saw him as the second to third best talent
13:19
Speaker 1: and the draft, and he went to five. Cardi Bryan
13:21
Speaker 1: is cool, you know on Barren Jay's cool.
13:24
Speaker 2: Oh everybody got votes. Brooke Barnheiser.
13:27
Speaker 1: I've been watching him quite a bit between Summer League
13:29
Speaker 1: and then these first couple of preseason games.
13:31
Speaker 2: I think okay See might have got a rotational player.
13:33
Speaker 2: One day. Nobody's saying my favorite team's draft pick. Hunh,
13:36
Speaker 2: that's trash.
13:40
Speaker 1: Uh. Who is the best international player Jokic, but Luca
13:44
Speaker 1: and Shay both got some votes. Who was the best
13:47
Speaker 1: international player notin the NBA? Is Sage was in called
13:49
Speaker 1: for the second year in a row. I re miss
13:50
Speaker 1: back in the day when it was our boy. Nico
13:54
Speaker 1: Miritis got it for like a decade straight. You know,
13:56
Speaker 1: it's a Nico Miritis being Nico Miritis.
13:58

Speaker 2: the best defender in the NBA.
14:19

14:27
Speaker 1: be the only person getting the vote outside of women
14:29
Speaker 1: Yamin next season.
14:30
Speaker 2: That's how crazy it is.

Speaker 2: and Anthony Davis most versus the defender. I'm in Thompson. Whoa,
14:57
Speaker 2: I'm in Thompson is now taking Draymond Green as most
15:00
Speaker 2: versatile defender.
15:02
Speaker 1: Wow, hey man, things are shifting in the league. Bro,
15:07
Speaker 1: things are shifting the league. I know Janni's got it
15:10
Speaker 1: last year, but I feel like Dreymond Green has had
15:11
Speaker 1: this type of title for a decade. Goard went through
15:15
Speaker 1: five and like all people be saying guard went through
15:17

15:34
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, or okay, Steve's number one, Orlando's number two.
15:38
Speaker 1: I think Houston was number three last season. I can't
15:40
Speaker 1: remember who's number four. I don't think it was the Timbers.
15:42
Speaker 2: I think they were six. Who would have been number four?
15:45
Speaker 2: I forget coaching? Do we just give Sposter a quick run?
15:49
Speaker 2: Real quick?
15:49
Speaker 1: He is still the best coaching basketball according to the GMS.
15:52
Speaker 1: Coach Mark Daytona making up some room, though ty lewis

16:27
Speaker 2: I would agree with that. I think I think that
16:29
Speaker 2: Rick Carlowle deserve a little bit more votes.
16:30
Speaker 1: I ain't just saying that because they just went on
16:32
Speaker 1: the championship run and everything, But sometimes you go into
16:35
Speaker 1: that halftime locker room and they come out and they
16:37
Speaker 1: look completely different.
16:38
Speaker 2: And that's in my mind.
16:39
Speaker 1: In game adjustments, Which head coach runs the best offense? Okay,
16:43
Speaker 1: Rick Carlile's their baby, shout out to Ricky. Rick, Kenny
16:46
Speaker 1: Akinson is up there. Chris Finch, Dayton All, Steve Kerr,
16:50

17:16
Speaker 1: Best assistant coach Michael Nory is number one. He was
17:18
Speaker 1: number one last year with Sam Quacel. I guess Sam
17:20
Speaker 1: Cancel fell Off he's now fourth. Jeff Van Gundy, he's
17:24
Speaker 1: back in the league.
17:25
Speaker 2: Roal Ivy.
17:25
Speaker 1: You think Roy Ivy gonna get a job one day,
17:28
Speaker 1: like an NBA head coaching job, because a lot of
17:30
Speaker 1: time this best assistant coach thing ends up being a
17:32
Speaker 1: player that two years down the line gets a head
17:34
Speaker 1: coaching opportunity.
17:36
Speaker 2: But rego dame. I see some of these names. I
17:39
Speaker 2: need to lock in. I don't know this name. I
17:41
Speaker 2: know these other ones. Juwan Howard of course, Chris Chan Yeah,
17:44
Speaker 2: I know these other game names. I don't know this guy.
17:46
Speaker 2: I remember Josh.
17:47
Speaker 1: Long Staff May he used to be a Bulls assistant.
17:49
Speaker 1: I miss you, uh or even I don't know Sean Sweetmeat.

18:01
Speaker 2: Damn all right?
18:03
Speaker 1: Which active player will make the best head coach one day?
18:06
Speaker 1: You know it's nobody other than Christopher Emanuel Paul. I
18:08
Speaker 1: don't care about the rest. The miscellanea stuff is pretty fun.
18:12
Speaker 1: Which team will be the most fun next season? Tied Denver, Okay,
18:16
Speaker 1: see Indiana. Oh no, it's not next season.
18:18
Speaker 2: They might.
18:19
Speaker 1: They might be just going off the high that we
18:20
Speaker 1: had last season, and they were number one last year.
18:23
Speaker 1: The Warriors, the timberwol the Magic. Hey, there's a GM
18:26
Speaker 1: out there that loves grinded out defensive games.
18:28
Speaker 2: And guess what, I'm one in with you? Which team
18:31
Speaker 2: has the best home court advantage? I can't.
18:33
Speaker 1: I've never been to OKC for a game, but I've
18:35
Speaker 1: been in Denver for a game. I yes, And it's
18:37
Speaker 1: not even just the altitude. It's the arena, it's the atmosphere,
18:40
Speaker 1: it's the announcers, it's the intercoms. Everything about it is
18:43
Speaker 1: pretty elite. The Knicks only get seven percent of the vote.
18:46
Speaker 1: I've never been the Boston for a game. I've been
18:48
Speaker 1: to Cleveland for a few games, though.
18:49
Speaker 2: I like that.
18:49
Speaker 1: Which team I have the best offense next season? The
18:51
Speaker 1: Calves are number one? Okay, see number two, Denver number three?
18:54
Speaker 2: No notes. Which team's level of success the season is
18:58
Speaker 2: the toughest to predict.
19:00
Speaker 1: I'm surprised this wasn't unanimous. I'm surprised this wasn't in
19:04
Speaker 1: the unanimous vote. Who the hell knows if the seventy
19:06
Speaker 1: six is gonna be a three seed or an eleven seed.
19:09
Speaker 2: I ain't got the answers for it. Which team's the
19:11
Speaker 2: most promising young core? How can it not be?
19:13
Speaker 1: Okay, see after a championship and they're still all like
19:15
Speaker 1: twenty five and younger somehow? Which player is the most athletic?
19:19
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards has been surpassed by I'm and Thompson. John,
19:22
Speaker 1: it's gotta vote Lebron. Still gotta vote at forty that's
19:25
Speaker 1: nuts Shane Sharp or sar Thompson victor Woman Yama best
19:28
Speaker 1: pure shooter? Shout out to Clay, But come on, it's
19:32
Speaker 1: still Ward all right? It still should be some of
19:34
Speaker 1: these I feel like should be unanimous. Fastest with the
19:37
Speaker 1: ball Darreon Fox still number one in the league according GMS,
19:40
Speaker 1: John Murrett, number two, Tyres, maxe Jay and Ivy.
19:43
Speaker 2: Gotta vote I'm and Thompson.
19:45
Speaker 1: Which player was the best at moving without the ball?
19:47
Speaker 1: How could it be anybody other than Steph Curry. Actually,
19:50
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at Duncan Robinson or Desimbang or even
19:52
Speaker 1: Michael Porta junior, but they're not better than Steph Curry.
19:54
Speaker 1: But I understand where they would gt a vote Best
19:56
Speaker 1: Passer Yolks one, Luca two, Trade three, and then.
19:59
Speaker 2: Jans turned four. So they catching upcause last year Yokis
20:02
Speaker 2: has seventy percent.
20:02
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's getting further ahead. He has seventy percent
20:06
Speaker 1: last year and I was up to eight and he's elanked.
20:08
Speaker 1: Best Leader, Steph Curry, Jaylen Bronson. I mean, you take
20:11
Speaker 1: a pay cuff for everybody else to get paid. I'm
20:12
Speaker 1: gonna say you're a good leader. Damn Jokic.
20:15
Speaker 2: I don't know what his leadership style is, but I
20:17
Speaker 2: mean it's got to be working.
20:18
Speaker 1: Somehow, right, Giannish Shay, Bron, Bron and then Mike Conley
20:23
Speaker 1: shout out to Uncle Mike. Shout out to Uncle Mike.
20:25
Speaker 1: Man most versatile player in the NBA. Giannis and Winby
20:29
Speaker 1: tied for one. Bron, Bron got seven percent, Evan Mobley
20:32
Speaker 1: and j Dubball got seven percent.
20:34
Speaker 2: You also got.
20:35
Speaker 1: Kawhi James, Jason Tatum, k D Draymond Yoke Basketball like you, Jokic.
20:41
Speaker 1: I need to go back and see when it switched
20:43
Speaker 1: from Lebron and Chris Paul to Jokic almost exclusively, because
20:47
Speaker 1: that happened a couple more, which player would you want
20:50
Speaker 1: taking a shot and the game is on the line.
20:52
Speaker 1: Steph Curry got some votes, Kevin Urrant, Tyres Halibert. I
20:56
Speaker 1: would expect that Tyres Halibert to be higher.
20:58
Speaker 2: Than thirteen percent.
20:58
Speaker 1: I won't lie after that that he just had even
21:01
Speaker 1: if you believe it or not, that run was just
21:03
Speaker 1: so crazy with the game winners that out of respect
21:06
Speaker 1: to that run, I would gave him my vote, even
21:08
Speaker 1: though Steph Curry still exists.
21:09
Speaker 2: Here Halliburton, here's a vote, goddamn it because that run
21:11
Speaker 2: was crazy.
21:13
Speaker 1: Luca and then Shane jy Lebronson and Yolks get one
21:15
Speaker 1: last one, which rule regarding play schedule, draft lottery format needs.
21:20
Speaker 2: To be changed. Roster construction at number one, and it
21:23
Speaker 2: was number one last year. Aprin rules are too harsh.
21:27
Speaker 2: Add a cap discount. I would agree with this one.
21:29
Speaker 2: Add a cap discount for your own drafted players. It
21:31
Speaker 2: does feel weird that you can be penalized for being
21:33
Speaker 2: the best drafted team. That doesn't make sense to me,
21:37
Speaker 2: especially if you're not a team that's drafted number one
21:39
Speaker 2: every year. If I find the best player in the
21:41
Speaker 2: draft that picks sixteen, I shouldn't have to be able.
21:44
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be pigeonholed to his extension or other players
21:47
Speaker 1: extension because I I was smart at the other fifteen
21:49
Speaker 1: gms in front of me, allowing trade partial allowing trading,
21:54
Speaker 1: partial salaries, make all minimum contracts the same, et cetera.
21:58
Speaker 2: They want to change the schedule.
22:00
Speaker 1: Back to one day. Okay, the game flow for matt ooh,
22:05
Speaker 1: seed one through sixteen, top seed, choose the opponent. Hey,
22:08
Speaker 1: it's some people that's trying to shake the league up. Huh,
22:10
Speaker 1: draft says them. Can't draft in top six for three
22:12
Speaker 1: straight years. Shouldn't reward losing m That sound like some
22:17
Speaker 1: teams that be in the playoffs every year, don't it?
22:19
Speaker 1: Higher penalties on cap circumvention. Ooh, somebody been reading them
22:23
Speaker 1: pop litt Tore stories.
22:25
Speaker 2: And then the schedule, fewer back to backs, no home
22:29
Speaker 2: roll back to backs.
22:29
Speaker 1: I feel like we've been getting rid of a lot
22:31
Speaker 1: of those, but also receiving votes elimiting more g league experimentation.
22:36
Speaker 1: Notice qualifications on six file one shot plus ball who
22:40
Speaker 1: got the hacking ass playing on their team? That you
22:41
Speaker 1: in the GM survey saying I don't want people to
22:43
Speaker 1: file out? Is that you who Lamello ball That out
22:47
Speaker 1: the most last season is that Charles Lee talking about
22:50
Speaker 1: I don't want to players a foul out no more.
22:52
Speaker 2: All right, that was fun. Catch me again next season
22:55
Speaker 2: and will we do it all the year
