1 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:20,800 What is krack alakin Fellow thermonuclear Efforts. I threw the crack Alakin in there 2 00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:23,800 because one of our listeners said that they missed it. I'm not sure if 3 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,640 I'm going to keep it because I feel like it's me culturally appropriating a word 4 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:31,239 that maybe I shouldn't. I was uncomfortable using it, which is why I 5 00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:34,359 stopped.

Let's dive into some trade stuff. Though December fifteenth already rolled 23 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,599 around, we didn't do anything specific on it because nothing ever happens on December 24 00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:41,640 fifteen. We talked about that on a mailback questions for like twelve years or 25 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,599 something like that, since the Nets traded Terrence Williams or whatever it was. 26 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,239 Bobby Marks I think mentioned that recently. Anyway, we're in December fifteenth, 27 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:52,239 almost ninety percent of the league players can now be traded. And so with 28 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,480 that, Zach Buckley over a breach Bleacher Report at home. He published a 29 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,159 trade target big board, So three targets for every single NBA team. I'm 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,799 gonna go through it, have not looked at it yet and just react to 31 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,239 it. These are super hard, but they're also super interesting to go through. 32 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,479 But let's let's do it. I'm gonna throw it up on screen for 33 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,159 anyone who's watching on YouTube and wants to follow along with me. So we 34 00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:19,000 start with the Atlanta Hawks alphabetically. Obviously, ze Buck has possible targets Delaun 35 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,800 Right, Jordan McLaughlin, and Kyle Anderson. I guess they could use more 36 00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:27,680 guard play here, just like a different ball hand or Kyle Anderson would certainly 37 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,080 help Delon Wright injured right now. I guess he would help. But the 38 00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,080 Hawks. One of the Hawks's issues has been there shooting. I know Bugdanovich 39 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:39,479 helps that now that he's back. None of these players really move that needle. 40 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:45,000 Maybe Jordan McLoughlin when he's getting super hot, but if they're looking at 41 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:46,719 aim Low and they're just trying to buy time, especially until Jean Day Murray 42 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,520 is healthy, depending on I can't remember how long he's going to be out, 43 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,039 but right it's already out at the moment. Anderson would be interesting, 44 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,800 but I fear the floor could be a little bit crimpy. And you've already 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,840 tried to figure struggle to figure out how to involve John Collins in this is 46 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:05,039 he going out as part of a deal for this, But yeah, those 47 00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:07,400 are uninspiring options. It's also weird because I don't know what the Hawks. 48 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,520 The Hawks feel like they need so many things. Someone to juice up the 49 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,360 scoring though, and the volume shooting, like functional shooting, maybe like a 50 00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:17,759 Kevin Hurder or something would really work out well for them. The Boston Celtics, 51 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,240 Ze Buck has possible targets Jacca Peardle, Mo Bamba as Bismac Pimbo. 52 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,280 Yeah, they need a big They do have a trade exception. I believe 53 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,400 that they can fit some of these guys into They also aren't necessarily that encumbered 54 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:34,280 looking at their first round picks. I think it's just tough when you look 55 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,680 at someone like a Yaka Peardle knowing he's about to get paid, Are you 56 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:39,960 gonna give up a first for him? Like were are you giving up for 57 00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:44,000 him knowing that you have al or for you have Robert Williams the third? 58 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:47,639 You even have Grant Williams here, and you know how often is he going 59 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,159 to play for you? Is he like a fifteen minute guy in the playoffs 60 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:53,840 at this point. Mo Bamba would be more interesting. He's playing really well 61 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,280 in Orlando though, and they've just been They've won five straight as I record 62 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560 this, so that's why old Bismac Piombo might be more their speed. But 63 00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:02,919 I don't know if the Suns are gonna want to trade him. He's been 64 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,319 their primary backup bigot points this season. They've sort of fluctuated with him and 65 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,199 Jack Landale. But I get the targets for sure. They could also try. 66 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,759 And I don't know how hard is they get to the money. But 67 00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,439 look at Rashaun Holmes just not playing in Sacramento and he's kind of making a 68 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,319 little bit more than backup center money. But knowing how cheaply you got Al 69 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:23,759 Horford and even r W three four, not the worst investment there if you 70 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,279 can get him the Brooklyn Nets. This is interesting. John Collins is on 71 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,480 here for the Nets. Possible targets John Collins, Mo Bomba, and Jay 72 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,160 Crowder. I would agree with all these things. Mo Bamba really giving you 73 00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:40,399 some spacing in the front court. Also, John Collins does the same thing. 74 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:42,399 He would be obviously the best fit. I don't you know. The 75 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,639 Joe Harris to John Collins rumors are kind of weird. I don't know how 76 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:50,279 I nestally feel about that from like everybody's perspective there, however, he would 77 00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,759 be a great fit. You could play him next to Nick Claxton, maybe 78 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,360 even Ben Simmons at the same time, since Simmons doesn't have to be or 79 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,839 four or five and Nick Lackston's low key just been awesome this season. I 80 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,839 speA curious what you Denetts do have, Like they could trade a first here, 81 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,079 but what are you giving up for when it's not John Collins? And 82 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,800 like the Joe Harris for John Collins swop might make a lot of sense for 83 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,240 both teams at this point, given how much it seems that John Collins's trade 84 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,000 value is plummeted. Jay Crowder would just be good for them. It's sort 85 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,439 of a defensive minded for who can take on some some bigger wings. But 86 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,720 why is Phoenix gonna help them out? That's the other issue here is like 87 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,240 when you're dealing with other contenders or a team like Phoenix that's gonna want not 88 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,399 picks but actual players back for Jay Crowder the Charlotte Hornets, we're just selling 89 00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:33,399 off everybody. Here's the buck. Yeah, possible targets for the Charlotte Hornets 90 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,519 draft picks James Wiseman, Mo Bamba, they are a team that should take 91 00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:41,639 a flyer on Wiseman, even though they have Kai Jones, Nathan Knight, 92 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,920 Mark Williams. If I mean, if it's out there, I don't know 93 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,720 who the Warriors want from them. Maybe PJ. Washington and Kelly Brady Junior. 94 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,079 Although the wars have done the ubre thing before, they definitely do need 95 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,959 an upgrade at the big I wouldn't go after Mobamba specific he costs you positive 96 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,600 value. But if you can take a flyer on James Wiseman or just get 97 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:01,319 draft picks like start, you know, put up. Look PJ Washington going 98 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,680 to the restricted free agency feels like he's kind of This season has just been 99 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,240 weird for him, and I know they're asking him to do too much through 100 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,879 a lot of their injuries. But what is what can he get you? 101 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,879 Cody Martin's not healthy, so that's a bed one. What can uber get 102 00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:15,279 you on his expiring contract? Does Terry Rozier of net positive or net negative 103 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,360 value? Right now? Looking at his contract, it's time to sell And 104 00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:20,839 so yeah, draft picks would be the key here for them, But they 105 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,439 would be a team that would be interesting. Take a flyer on Wiseman unless 106 00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:27,879 they're really big believers in Kai Jones, J. T. Thor Mark Williams 107 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,160 those guys long term, the Bulls is interesting or the Bulls buyers or sellers. 108 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:34,399 Z Buck looks like they're buyers. PJ. Washington, Jay Crowd or 109 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:39,920 Denny Aftia as three trade targets for them. I don't hate any of these. 110 00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:43,079 They could use more wing depth. Jay Crowder helps there, will he 111 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,199 hit enough of his threes? Interesting to ask. Denny Avvia would be very 112 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,040 interesting for this team just for what he brings defensively, and we've seen some 113 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,920 just ball handling flashes from him. PJ. Washington would definitely help spread the 114 00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,319 floor. You probably let him play some backup five in this scenario, which 115 00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:01,560 Charlotte is not gotten away from entirely, but he's played less five this year 116 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,720 than he has last year. The thing is is like the Bulls need more 117 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:11,040 bankable, high volume spacing, and I don't know if this trade. I 118 00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:14,160 guess outside Denny Avia just won't like he's afraid to take the reason points. 119 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,680 Jay Crowd or semi confident him and Washington would definitely be upgrades, but is 120 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,560 it enough and what are you giving up to get them? Do the Sun's 121 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,399 probably want players, not picks, and so do you have anyone that interests 122 00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:27,800 like You're not trading Alice Caruso to get Jay Crowder. I'd be curious what 123 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,360 any of these players cost. And if I'm the Bulls, I'm not trading. 124 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,759 You already have this year's pick gone and then the twenty twenty five pick 125 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,319 on, so I'm not looking at giving up another one. The Calves, 126 00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:39,000 it has to be a wing. They need a wing. Jake Crowder, 127 00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:42,279 Joe Harris, Kendrick Williams love all these targets. I don't know if Jay 128 00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:45,839 Crowder will give you any point of attack defense at this point in his career, 129 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,560 which is what the Calves need a lot out of their three. But 130 00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:53,560 offensively, they just need someone who's not you know, Lamar Stevens had a 131 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,800 big night the other game, and Dean Wade, when he's healthy, came 132 00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:59,240 back. He'll make it work. But you need someone who's just not who's 133 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,519 who's more dynamic offensively. Joe Harris is certainly that ken Rich Williams would definitely 134 00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:07,240 work. I just it sounds like he wants to retire and Okaysey and that 135 00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:09,839 they just want him to retire. It okaycy Zach always said this, but 136 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,160 he's like the new Nick Hollison there. And then again, what are you 137 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,680 giving to get Jay Crowder out of Phoenix? Do they like Carris Lavert? 138 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,639 Can you build something around Landry Shammitt and Jay Crowder for Carros Lavert? Do 139 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,399 you even want to take on Shamont's money If you're the Calves and you're dealing 140 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,319 exclusively in you know, you could have cap space to Summer's my point with 141 00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,440 Cleveland, So sham It eats into that. Joe Harris, I don't know, 142 00:08:31,559 --> 00:08:33,879 Like, you don't have picks to give up at the first round, 143 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,480 picks to give up at this point? Why would the Nets want Carris Lavert 144 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:41,240 back? Are they going to be interested in Jetty Osman or Isaac Accorro. 145 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,759 Maybe they take a flyer on Okoro and that's like, is that the Jay 146 00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:50,279 Crowder trade too? Like Jetty Osman and o'koro for Jay Crowder? I don't 147 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,360 I don't know if that gets it done. I would be shocked if Kendrick 148 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,840 Williams gets moved at this point, it seems like a very he's very malleable, 149 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,360 versatile player, but also just seems like a culture center. And Okay, 150 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,200 see Dallas Mavericks, O, Gianna Noby, Zacovine, and John Collins 151 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,600 swinging for the fences here. I like it. They all seem John Collins 152 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,200 might be semi realistic. Just his trade value seems to plummeted. I don't 153 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,519 know what else, and I know he's out right now, but I'm just 154 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:15,799 I'm flabbergasted at some of the proposals we've seen. Even Look, Kelly Olynik 155 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,320 and Jordan Clarkson are having some really good seasons, but like the proposal of 156 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,320 trading Olnek and Clarkson for Collins, and like that was serious. I think 157 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,240 it was mentioned by Shams. I don't know if it's been discussed, but 158 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,399 that would just make Collins sort of this salary dump for Atlanta basically. Again, 159 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,440 I know Clarkson has been great this year, so I don't mean the 160 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,799 understill that, but he has a player options about the end of free agency, 161 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,399 and you're clearly not going to keep him with Murray and trey O, 162 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,080 Gianna Noby's just unrealistic. I know the Raptors are struggling right now. There 163 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,399 are some flashes from them too, but their offense in the half court it 164 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,919 remains this groggy slog. They're not if they even if they even if they 165 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,120 tear it down and rebuild. I do think that you're keeping Scotty and Og 166 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,080 and then maybe everybody else is on the table. Maybe Christian Coloco is not 167 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,279 off limits, but not someone you're actively looking to move. So that's gonna 168 00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:03,039 be tough for Dallas. Collins feels realistic. Zach Lavine, it just depends 169 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,759 or the Bulls. I don't think the Bulls will tear a town just because 170 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,679 they owe that top four protective pick to Orlando, and you might be doing 171 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,399 Orlando favor at that point. I do think in a nutshell, you shouldn't 172 00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,440 care about the optics of that where if you need to reset and restructure your 173 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,600 franchise, how much value do you get for Zach Lavine now when he's been 174 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:22,879 struggling coming off those knee problems. Just doesn't look like the same player this 175 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,360 season to me anyway, he would still be a great fit in Dallas. 176 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:30,440 Now that being said, for Dallas, you can't trade a first round pick 177 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,039 until twenty five because of the pick you owe the Knicks. I just I 178 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:35,440 don't know if now is the time where they can get a bigger fish. 179 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,960 Maybe Collins because his trade value is plummeted. But like alls you have is 180 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,360 picks. You have some players that I guess teams would be interested in, 181 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,320 But like, even if you're willing to move a Dorian Finney Smith, Maxi 182 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,080 Cleeve was injured right now, so who's gonna be interested in him? Maybe 183 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:50,559 Christian would like these guys aren't blue chip prospects. You need a team to 184 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,120 be in love with Josh Green and Jane Hardy basically plus your plush, your 185 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,759 picks, which teams will probably assume aren't going to be that valuable down lines, 186 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,480 since you have Luca plus whoever they're giving you. John Collins is like 187 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,639 the most realistic of those three. All of them would be great fits Denver 188 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:09,279 Nuggets. Let's see Matisse, Thybell, Javonte Green, and Josh Richardson. 189 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,879 These are some sneaky good picks here. It does. The Nuggets are twenty 190 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,120 eight in points a lot per possession. They have some really good defensive lineups. 191 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,799 But you just might need to lean into it even further. And I 192 00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:24,000 think Matisse type would really be a heat check for their offense because he's just 193 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,480 awful on that end of the floor. He's not even as much as a 194 00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,360 stopper defensively as I think people give him credit for, but he would certainly 195 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720 work. And now all of a sudden, like, can you get to 196 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,279 line ups where you're putting Gordon, Bruce Brown, KCP, Yokich and then 197 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,360 someone else on the court to just make it all defense around Yokich. I 198 00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:43,360 think Josh Richardson would be a good fit there. You also don't want to 199 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,480 get to a point well gift the factor in Jamal Murray as well here too. 200 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:48,720 So if you if we just assume that Yoki Ja Murray are the locks 201 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,960 to close and crunch time you have between KCP, Aaron Gordon, Bruce Brown, 202 00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:56,960 throw a Tyeball or Josh Richison there, it gives you another option. 203 00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:58,919 I don't hate the idea of Javonte Green either, Like that's someone who could 204 00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,600 defend all over the place, and maybe he becomes more of an innings eater 205 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,759 for the regular season when you're not fielding your best lineups, which is what 206 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,919 the Nuggets arguably need because their bench has struggled this year too. They've gotten 207 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,120 like good minutes from at different points from from different guys. DeAndre Joynes byably 208 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000 even been a little bit better than than I expected this season. Of course, 209 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,679 there's bones Thailand, but it's not even about because they have some top 210 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:24,480 end lineups that can be good defensively. It's about making the rest of the 211 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,600 rotation better defensively, which should help you win more in the regular season and 212 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:31,279 then also sort of equip you against emergency in the playoffs. I would be 213 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:33,440 curious the asking price and all these guys. The Nuggets can't trade a first 214 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,279 until twenty and twenty nine, and that's if it's conditional, because there's a 215 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,919 pick that's protected out there. So could you get Tiebold, Green or Richardson 216 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,840 for seconds and filler? I would say Green and Richardson maybe, and I 217 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,399 guess tie Bow at this point not playing in Philly really, So yeah, 218 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:52,200 all good targets there. The Detroit Pistons no more Kate Cunningham draft picks, 219 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,240 so yeah. Johnny Davis from Washington, I'm not sure the Wizards even know 220 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,320 that that that guy exists. Basically, they don't use him in James Book 221 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,399 Night, you know, I get it, like let's just throw some stuff 222 00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:05,720 at the wall, see what sticks there. I don't I was in on 223 00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:07,639 James book night after his first Summer League, but from what I've seen from 224 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,799 him, sins I wouldn't be. I don't know if you want to even 225 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,480 give him like those those sort of reps. But you have it without Kay 226 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,039 cunning him there yet you have Killian Hayes and Jay n Ivy two. So 227 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,840 do you need someone else to factor're in there? Johnny Davis, Yeah, 228 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,399 just definitely take a take a flyer and a wing like that, depending on 229 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,720 the cost. But he was just drafted, so it's like, what are 230 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,440 you getting there? And I think draft picks. You know, it's not 231 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,720 low hanging fruit. It's a priority. The Pistons unlike some of these other 232 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,440 rebuilding teams, they don't have all these extra picks, you know, off 233 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,399 into the distance. And it's weird that they're like maybe shopping Sadek bay Per 234 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,000 the athletics James L. Edwards the third, so they're in a weird spot. 235 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,799 But I'd like to see him get more draft picks, and I would 236 00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:43,879 move Bayron Madanovitch to do it as good as he's been for them this year, 237 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:48,080 and as much as he opens up the floor the Golden State Warriors, 238 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,720 Jacca Peurtle, PJ. Washington, Eric Gordon, So, I actually don't 239 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:56,200 like Peurdle for the Warriors. He like stuff is, but he's injured right 240 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,000 now and his rim protection has been down. He's committed more turnovers at the 241 00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,039 elbows this year. I think that's more of a function of what's going on 242 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,679 with san Antonio's roster than anything. But you're probably not gonna pay him in 243 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,679 free agency this summer, and also he's not closing games for you because of 244 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,440 the free throw shooting. And also just I'd rather have Looney on the floor 245 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,679 defensively if you're going with two bigs and so between Looney playing, however many 246 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,360 minutes plus Draymond at the five minutes, how many minutes there going to be 247 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,279 for Partle when it matters most. And if you are going to sell low 248 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,120 or medium on James Wiseman, you'd like someone who's gonna play more of a 249 00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:30,600 heavy role for you when it matters. And that's why I would focus on 250 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:33,120 the perimeter or a floor spacing big PG. Washington might do that. He 251 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,279 could be really interesting. It's sort of another reclamation project in Golden State. 252 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,440 Eric Gordon, I like, getting to the money becomes tough just because he 253 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,159 makes over nineteen million dollars this year, So that would be something that the 254 00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:48,240 Warriors need to grapple with, and to get there would be you know, 255 00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,519 like to get there is tough. It's not just a matter of trading Wiseman. 256 00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,200 You have to trade somebody else too, and they don't have guys that 257 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,559 are expendable outside of their core. So you're not gonna You're not trading Andrew 258 00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:03,440 Wiggins an Gordon trade obviously, Like I'm just pointing out, like their salary. 259 00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:07,360 You're not getting rid of Quay Thompson or Graymond Green, Steph Curry certainly 260 00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:11,919 off certainly off limits here. And so you're just you're not trading comingo either. 261 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,559 You're not even giving a Moody in and Eric Gordon trade. And so 262 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:18,279 when you don't have I don't want to say, maybe there are some people 263 00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,799 that would call some of their contracts bad money on their roster, but when 264 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,320 you don't have active, indispensable or dispensable salary where it's, oh, this 265 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,639 player makes a ton of money, we could just get rid of him, 266 00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,320 it gets really hard to step out of your way to trades. I love 267 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,679 the idea of Eric Gordon and Golden State, although friend of the my friend 268 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,080 in real life in front of the podcast, Jacob Born, who's a Warrior's 269 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,720 fan, does not like his fit. I think he would prefer more of 270 00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:41,360 a bigger wing, which makes sense, or someone in the front corp who 271 00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:45,799 stretches Kelly and Lennox should probably be on their radar. Mo Bombo would be 272 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,519 another good addition. If they wanted to go higher end, you could always 273 00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:52,799 go with the Miles Turner route. I just don't know if the Pacers would 274 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:56,879 even move him right now. And again you run into the same issue where 275 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,600 it's are you're closing with Turner and Green over Lunia. I guess you would 276 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:03,960 be, But like again, how much of that you know? Do you 277 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,919 want to invest so much equity? And where not? Your positions hammered out? 278 00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:10,519 But you've not traditionally, But like Draymond at the five is still an 279 00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:12,799 option. Maybe don't believe Draymond's gonna be around long term. That poses a 280 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,399 separate issue. So yeah, like, unless you're gonna go I like Gordon, 281 00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:19,879 but unless you're gonna go with step ladder your way to basically a three 282 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,919 for one trade and increase your tax bill in the process, because James Wiseman 283 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000 does make nine point six million this year, but you would have to attach. 284 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,120 Yeah, it's not even three for one like you would have. Are 285 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,799 you given up Looney in that deal to get there? You're not gonna be 286 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,000 up Commingo, like I said, are you're gonna give up Devin Kenzo if 287 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,279 you're getting back Eric Gordon, maybe you're not giving up Moody. You're not 288 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,559 gonna trade Jordan Poole. You could trade Patrick Baldwin Junior, but that feels 289 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:45,759 like you're kind of selling low there then two, So Eric Gordon, I 290 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,879 like is my point, But I would I think Josh Richardson and like McDermott 291 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,360 might be that those would be easier numbers to get through, or maybe just 292 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:56,240 Josh Richardson from I would give up James Wisman for Josh Richardson and that would 293 00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:59,600 the Spurs do that That bull's pick that's protected in two and twenty five, 294 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,600 and so it's like they're not giving they can reprotect it too. I think 295 00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:04,559 it's top ten protected. And so if you think either you think that it's 296 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,880 maybe not going to convey because the Bulls are gonna suck. Or if you 297 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,960 just want to reprotect it so that there's tight around it, maybe that's a 298 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,440 deal they could explore since Josh Richardson's expiring. Or you could just take James 299 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,400 Wiseman for that first round pick since they have all this cap space and the 300 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,559 Warriors, maybe you want to cut their luxury tax bill. Possible targets for 301 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:25,160 the Houston Rockets. Jackson Hayes draft picks and RJ. Hampton. Love the 302 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:29,200 RJ. Hampton inclusion in here from Buckley. He's been low key good in 303 00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:32,440 Orlando, just really can't get minutes on a consistent basis right now. But 304 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,799 he's had a much better year and so I shouldn't have sold my RJ. 305 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,119 Hampton stock leading into the season. I don't know that I understand the Jackson 306 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:44,880 Hayes drop, like you have Shangon Jabari Smith, Usman Garuba here already, 307 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,920 so like whyd and Bruntle Fernando, and why are you gonna complicate the front 308 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,599 court rotation? Jackson Hayes can do a lot of switching on the perimeter, 309 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,720 but that feels like, you know, maybe a Boston should be interested in 310 00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:57,359 him a little bit more than at Houston, so that's a little cloggy there, 311 00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:00,279 and they could go after draft picks they don't really necessarily him. I 312 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,079 love taking the flyer on handon who feels like he would be more of a 313 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,759 conventional game manager at this moment, especially when you look at the cadence with 314 00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,680 which he plays than a KPJ or Jalen Green. Not saying he's better overall, 315 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:14,559 but just might be a better fit for that role. The Indiana Pacers 316 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,240 who could be low key buyers, a Deck Bay, Moses Moody, Cam 317 00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:19,200 Reddish. This seems to straut of the line where it's like you wouldn't get 318 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,400 any of these players because you traded Miles Turner to that team. I guess 319 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,839 Moses Moody like we have a Wiseman Moody salary for Turner type deal. Whatever. 320 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,200 But yeah, they need wing depth. And if you get to Deeck 321 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,359 Bay, I'm not training a first round pick for him. If I'm Indian, 322 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,359 that's the complication here. But if you can get us a deep Bay, 323 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,960 that's someone would be really interesting for you. Moses Moody, Cam Reddish, 324 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:44,200 that should be a set like maybe a second from the Knicks plus plus 325 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,200 money, So that's a that's a really good and he would play like they 326 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,039 had. I called, I said that. Andrew Nemhard started at the four 327 00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:52,799 for the Pacers the other night, I m say, nay, Smith, 328 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,480 I'm sorry. They both started with the letter ends like I guess I got 329 00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:59,240 that mixed up in case anyone caught that. So yeah, I like Cam 330 00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:00,920 Reddish here, mostly because he seems the most guttable Moody or Bay is going 331 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,039 to cost you. I would guess a first round pick, which indies shouldn't 332 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:07,119 trade. I guess they could trade that Cavs one that they really wanted to, 333 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,599 or they have Boston, so you could go lower end on that if 334 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,799 the teams will accept it. Otherwise. The Moody one specifically feels like, 335 00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,599 oh did they trade Turner to the Warriors and sort of this bigger deal. 336 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,000 Love love the Camraddish inclusion, though, and I just don't think the war 337 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:23,000 is already to sell low on Moody where they're just getting back a pick for 338 00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:29,559 him. The Clippers, Miles Turner, Alec Burks, Eric Gordon all all 339 00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:33,400 good picks here. I don't know how much you need Turner unless you're planning 340 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,240 on paying him after this year? And what are you giving up for him? 341 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,880 They have salaries that match it, But then you need indeed who also 342 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,880 say like we're fine with just getting one super distant first round pickback. And 343 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,400 if they were fine with that, I feel like the Lakers trade might have 344 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,400 already have been made. But maybe maybe I'm wrong there. Alec Burks is 345 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,960 a good one. You're not, you know, if you're Detroit, you're 346 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000 probably if you can get your own second pack that the Clippers own of yours. 347 00:19:56,039 --> 00:20:00,000 I think they have their twenty twenty five pick or is it two thousan 348 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,599 than twenty? Yeah, they owe they are twenty twenty four pick to the 349 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,759 nit. No, no, they don't want. The Clippers don't own a 350 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:10,960 Detroit pick anymore so, but you have seconds if you're the Clippers, is 351 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,119 my point? Apologize for stumbling through there, so if you could do seconds 352 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,440 and salary, Like, are you giving up Roco for that? As he 353 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,240 fallen that far out of favor. You're not giving up a Norman Powell in 354 00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:26,920 that deal, that's for sure, so I think. But the Alec Brooks 355 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,839 want is workable even with the salary. Eric Gordon's a little bit tougher because 356 00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:34,680 he makes so much money, but like you could get there because you have 357 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,640 all these sort of salary matching tools. It's just a matter of okay, 358 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,759 well what are you using to get Gordon? And does a team want like 359 00:20:42,759 --> 00:20:47,119 you're probably you're still not giving up Marcus Morris I think would be too important, 360 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,519 or Norman Powell. But you have Roco and you give up him your 361 00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:53,920 coffee for Eric Gordon and does that even get them there? Let me see, 362 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,240 it comes pretty close. I'm not sure, but you could still find 363 00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:00,519 other ways. Is that something Houston getting a fly? I run him your 364 00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,559 coffee and then maybe Preston or Boston Junior. I'd probably if they're getting that 365 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,960 much, I'd probably just do it. Whether you're willing to take on Luke 366 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,640 Konard in the final two years of his deal after this one, that would 367 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:15,880 be interesting. You go Knard and then it's coffee slash Preston or Boston Junior. 368 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,000 I think that would get you to Eric Gordon money. That might be 369 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,799 a good trade. That's for both teams. So I like that. I 370 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,759 like that one. Let's go on, who's the other one. Oh yeah, 371 00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:29,880 we went through that Burks one or the Lakers shocker, So we got 372 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,359 DAMARDA. Rosen, Boyobodanovich and Buddy Healed. Miles Turner's not on here, 373 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,839 which is really kind of funny. Maybe I think Buckley's thinking that the Lakers 374 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,559 don't necessarily want to trade Russ, and so you could get to well, 375 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,319 if you're getting de Rosen, you're trading Russ because you can't get to De 376 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,480 Rosen's money any other way. But and so then that's going to be a 377 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,279 bigger deal because Russ makes so much money. You're also taking boot back in 378 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:52,000 that or could you get Caruso if you're giving up those picks, like A, 379 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,400 you're getting Caruso and then someone else, like can you get Javonte Green 380 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,559 out of that deal? You're not gonna get You're not gonna get Iota Sumu 381 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,559 that's for So do you go that route? I'd be fine. I don't 382 00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:03,799 love De Rosen's fit on offense, So I think you run into he's a 383 00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:07,799 better player than Westbrook and probably the better pick and roll passer at this point, 384 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,079 and he's even like I guess he's the more reliable floor spacer. But 385 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,720 has to be on the ball for it too, so you do run into 386 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,640 a lot of the same issues. I think Russ has been playing well off 387 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,519 the bench, which is why I think Buckley goes to, well, can 388 00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:22,920 you just get Buddy Healed and forget Miles Turner, because between Beverly and Kendrick 389 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,440 Nunn like you can get too would just be willing to take on Buddy Heal's 390 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,880 money. So Kendricks Nunn and pact Revily for Buddy Heell just get that functional 391 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:30,880 shooting in there. Say fuck it, We're not going to worry about cap 392 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,640 space. We still have those two picks that we could trade down the line, 393 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,279 or we could really move Buddy heals expiring contract. If we needed to 394 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,920 love Boyan mcdonovitch, would you give up? I don't think der Troy's moving 395 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,640 him without getting a first round pick. The Lakers proposed a protected first round 396 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,200 pick for him, and we're given the shaft. Would you just full on 397 00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:49,119 go. You can have our twenty twenty seven picks for boy and mcdonovitch. 398 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,079 I'd probably want a little bit something more just looking at Podanovitch's age, But 399 00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:56,799 look, Bodonovitch is quietly having an incredible season. He's one of the most 400 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,240 forget about shooting in general, he's one of the most efficient isolation scores in 401 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,079 the league this year. I'm not even kidding you. So like that is 402 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,240 something that you could actually look at if your Lakers, and I think he 403 00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:12,119 improves your team a great deal. So I like all these targets. I 404 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,319 would also add, if you want the Lakers to trade for a star, 405 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,759 it's not gonna be Damian Lillard's not gonna be Kevin ramp Like Bradley Beal isn't 406 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,960 too far outside the Roman possibility if you were willing to include the swaps and 407 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,960 you're in addition to your two first maybe throwing in Austin Reeves some other seconds. 408 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,079 Beale has a no trade clause, and so if he says to the 409 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,359 Wizards, I want out and I want to go to Lakers, that does 410 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,440 give the Lakers some leverage. The Memphis Grizzlies the first place, Memphis Grizzlies 411 00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:41,039 O Gianna Noby Jay crowd or Cam Reddish. The cam Reddish would be so 412 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,720 Memphis Grizzlies where it's just like we're gonna bet on our infrastructure, just improving 413 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,160 this player and so like we have La Ravia and Roddy and Santiall don we're 414 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,799 just gonna add Anziere Willis. We're gonna had another project going to the fold 415 00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:55,039 them. We're just that's that's when we need to puts over the top. 416 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,079 Jake Crowder, I guess would theoretically it would work for them, that is, 417 00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:02,279 do you consider that an grade over like the Aldama Larravia Roddy minutes? 418 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,680 Yeah, sure, I think you would. What are you giving Phoenix for 419 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,880 it to be worthwhile? You're giving up like a first round pick or one 420 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,440 of your young players that they would have interest in, and they're not even 421 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,599 maybe they're not looking at when now trades At that point are they gonna want 422 00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:17,400 to help out someone that they probably fancy appear, So that has to come 423 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,200 into the fold. But I do I get it. If you could get 424 00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:23,279 him Ojan and Obi would be perfect. I just don't think the Raptors are 425 00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:27,000 trading him. But I do think Memphis if they would, if excuse me, 426 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,359 if Toronto would move o Giannaobi, Memphis has the assets to get involved. 427 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,000 All their own picks. We just mentioned those young players Aldama, Roddy, 428 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,839 La Ravia, Brandon Clark, Zayra Williams, even like you include Zayer 429 00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:41,200 Willims in that trade and then plus that Warriors twenty twenty four pick, so 430 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,440 they could get a deal done. I would like to see them get in 431 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,200 on like the Kyle Kuzma sweepstakes too, feels like he might be a middle 432 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,839 ground between all this reddish little too low end o Giannaoby's too high end. 433 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,599 And then Jay Crowder is just tough because I don't know what they're giving Phoenix 434 00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:59,559 because Phoenix probably hasn't moved Jay Crowd or since they want win Now talent in 435 00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:02,680 return, so it's you're flipping Jay Crowd for another player or just using his 436 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,400 salary to acquire a more expensive player who helps you, and Memphis doesn't really 437 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,079 have that, whereas if you're gonna get Kuzma and the Wizard are just kind 438 00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:12,359 of in Selmoe, Like you can use Danny Green's expiring contract plus a young 439 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,559 player. You have to include a first. I don't know what it looks 440 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,400 like since Kuzma's going into free agency, but that would be a really good 441 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,240 trade. Target Boy Macdonovitch would be good too. So with Jeremy Grant, 442 00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:25,279 I just I think grant will extend in Portland. And then I also think 443 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,119 that boy McDonald is just so expensive that you're probably going for a three for 444 00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:33,200 one with Detroit, and that gets really tough. You have Green salary, 445 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,319 and then it's who are you giving up with that the Miami heat, Josh 446 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,440 Richardson, Jay Crowder, Sadiq Bay those all names makes sense. I'd probably 447 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,400 want Jay Crowder makes too much sense. I'd want a player Josh richards in 448 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,000 the reunion would be great, by the way, and he can play them 449 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,799 four they have. I guess it comes down to what are you giving up 450 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,880 as the primary salary bait to get these players, Like what are you giving 451 00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:57,759 Phoenix that they want for Jay crowd or you're not giving them anything unless you're 452 00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:02,240 giving up Kayla Martin, which you probably shouldn't. You're not giving up value 453 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,519 that helps Phoenix now, and so you need a third team to rally. 454 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:08,519 That not impossible. Josh Richardson feels eminently realistic. You can I think you 455 00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:11,400 can get him for seconds, which is fine, But can you get the 456 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,720 Spurs? Would you want to give up a first round pick if they took 457 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,799 on Duncan Robbinson's deal? Are they even willing to take on a first for 458 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:21,200 those final three years. Does it cost more than that? And would you 459 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,079 give up more than that? You could also go because the Heat are just 460 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:30,440 their cap constraints are so thin. You could go Victor Oladipo and Dwayne Deadman 461 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:33,400 and you would have to probably compensate the Spurs with the first because both Deadman 462 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,759 and Oladipo stretch into next season. Would you consider that? I probably would 463 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:41,119 if I'm Miami at this point. I think Josh Richardson's been quietly solid and 464 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,720 he helps, you know, to the reunion with the Heat is just that'd 465 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,200 be fucking cool. But he helps out a lot of what they need and 466 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,759 you can run smaller play him at the four. So I'm with this. 467 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:55,200 The Bucks Jordan Clarkson, Jay Crowd or Eric Gordon, So they were apparently 468 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,039 close to a Jay Crowd or trade that was part of the Sham's report. 469 00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:00,640 If they can figure it out without giving up their one distant first round pick 470 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,160 that they can move, yeah, more power through them. Eric Gordon would 471 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,519 be huge for this team too. I know he's you know, he's not 472 00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:08,799 getting to the rim as much and he's not shooting the three ball as well, 473 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:11,519 but he could still you know, if his role is simplified and he's 474 00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:14,839 on a better team, Like, yeah, he can, he can get 475 00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,640 it done. I just to get to his nineteen million dollars number. Who 476 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,480 are you moving? Grayson Allen is a good start at nine point four million, 477 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:26,200 then you have George Hill and Jordan Noara like that gets you there, 478 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,759 but you're probably gonna have to give up What are you giving up to in 479 00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:30,519 that? Like, is Houston just doing that? How many seconds are you 480 00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:33,680 including you're willing to get Marjon bow Champ for Eric Gordon? That's a little 481 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,279 bit iffy. I do love the final targets here though, Jordan Clarkson, 482 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,960 I just don't know how you get him from Utah even if they're willing to 483 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,920 sell lower since he's sit in free agency like Grayson Allen and what like, 484 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,799 are you attaching to it? It's Marjon bow Champ enough to get you, 485 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,279 Jordan Clarkson, That's something you could consider, and can Utah can? They're 486 00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:55,160 very quick quote quo where it's oh, like maybe you guys can take on 487 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,440 Rudy Gay or maybe your Milwaukee trying to get rid of George Hill. But 488 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,200 I think Mike Bootenholzer is probably just in love with George Hill, So the 489 00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:04,119 framework is probably Grayson Allen and Marjehan Bouchamp would be like the most realistic offer. 490 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,640 I don't. I would be curious to see what Utah's response is. 491 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,720 My guests would be they'd want a little bit more, and that Jordan Clarkson's 492 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,240 too important the culture, but he would be a great fit in Milwaukee, 493 00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:18,559 and there's clearly something wrong with Milwaukee's offense right now. Minnesota, this is 494 00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:21,920 a tough one. Gary Trench Junior, Josh Richards, and Kelly Ubery Junior. 495 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,039 I'm out on Kelly Uberdy Junior. I think Hill Hill shoot threes, 496 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,920 but Minnesota needs guys who are gonna make them in a higher clip. I 497 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,160 also don't know getting to his salary. It's so mid ends. You're just 498 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,519 at a point where it's at a bigger trade where you're treating Charlotte Delo getting 499 00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:38,640 rid of his money like you're not moving. I wouldn't move Kyle Anderson for 500 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,880 him or Torrian Prince. And now you start to run out of money really 501 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,359 quickly. It's like your highest paid players are Rudy Gobert Karl Anthony Town's De'angelo 502 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,480 Russell, Anthony Edwards. In that order, those are your top four. 503 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:52,119 Your fifth highest paid player is Kyle Anderson at eight point eight, Your sixth 504 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,319 highest paid player is Tory and Prince at seven point three, and then after 505 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,519 that, nobody makes more than two point three million dollars. So I don't 506 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:03,559 even know if you're the Timberwolves, how you even get Dosh Chritchinson. I 507 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,079 think that would be I don't want to say great because his three point volume 508 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,680 isn't necessarily enough, But I don't even know how you get to the money. 509 00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:12,680 Like they only have the trade exception for four point four million. That's 510 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,920 not going to get it done. These are all nice targets Gary Trent Junior 511 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,880 as well, but like you're gonna have to give up someone to match these 512 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,359 salaries, and it's actually really tough for Minnesota do that unless they're doing it 513 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,599 as part of a larger deal where they're moving a bigger salary like a DiAngelo 514 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,480 Russell. And I don't think any of the players I just named are players 515 00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:33,960 you do that for the Pelicans. Mo Bamba love it, Doug McDermott interesting, 516 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:38,000 Norland's Noel I'm out on no. Well, I just look the Pelicans. 517 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,319 Pelicans fans have been in our comments saying that like, no, you 518 00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:44,359 wouldn't add value to youants Pound Shoutnis to get a Miles Turner. And I'm 519 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,759 not trying to be like the I know better than you national podcaster because I 520 00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:51,559 don't like I'm not one of those podcasters. But if you're not just objectively, 521 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,519 even if you think you oanness valid, Hunis can close games. If 522 00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:56,720 you're not gonna have him close games against Walker Kessler and the Jazz, what 523 00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:02,039 are we doing? Just what are we doing? You should look to improve 524 00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,519 the center spots where no, maybe you're still closing with Nance and Zion, 525 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,039 that's fine, but then at least diverse fight at the point where that's not 526 00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:11,480 your only option. Mobamba gives you that. Turner would certainly give you that. 527 00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:15,880 I like Doug McDermott first three point volume and cutting on this team, 528 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,599 which is something that they could definitely use. Do they want to take on 529 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,000 his number for next year? Maybe san Antonio would do DeVante Graham for Doug 530 00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:26,119 McDermott straight up, since they both have money on the books for next season. 531 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,359 That would be low key instring Noel though, it's just like I guess, 532 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,519 he's very active, he's great hands, and he can be a good 533 00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,599 rim protector when he's healthy. The space thing, though, it gets a 534 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,079 little weird, and if you're worried about like the Jonis Zion fit on offense 535 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,599 is fine, the defensive fit is if he maybe on defense, Noel and 536 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,720 Zion are fine, but the offense wouldn't be great. He could Zion could 537 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:48,400 run pick and roll with him, I suppose, but they're gonna want to 538 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,359 occupy a lot in the same space just around the basket. That would be 539 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,799 something to monitor if you can get him for like if the Pistons are willing 540 00:30:55,839 --> 00:31:00,640 to take on DeVante Graham's deal because Graham next season is owed twelve point twelve 541 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,640 point one million dollars guarantee, and then Noel is coming off your books because 542 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,160 it's a team option. That's something the Pelicans could definitely look at. So 543 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,160 I don't mind all of these targets. And maybe, like Detroit wants to 544 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,720 see what Jackson Hayes is, you can include him in that deal as well. 545 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,680 But I kind of like all these I'd like to see Myles Turner there 546 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,880 though, like there's I think we've seen that Miles Turner could really help this 547 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,480 team, and it's someone that they might actually close with the Knicks. Kuzma, 548 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:27,119 Ubrid Junior, Robert Covington ZB, I love you, We're gonna say 549 00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:30,359 no. And Kelly Bridge Jr. I'm sorry. I can't. I can't 550 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,640 put him on my Knicks. I just I can't do it. I don't 551 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,440 think he's really equipped to play the three. He's on ball defense might be 552 00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:40,920 okay, but he can get really unattentive away from the balls. Three point 553 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,279 shooting isn't good enough. Robert Covington's interesting if the Knicks would play small, 554 00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:48,160 which they don't, and then I'm not trading for Kyle Kuzma or Robert Covington 555 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,640 or even do a break for that matter, unless I'm also getting rid of 556 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,599 Julius Randall just to open up the four rotation. Right now, Tims wants 557 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,000 to play. He's more likely to go with Jericho Sims and Isaiah Hartenstein in 558 00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:01,000 the front court now than he is of dusting off Cam Reddish with Obie topping 559 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:06,000 out, and so he wants to play with a actual big someone at center, 560 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,960 and I think that that might be coming to his best position at this 561 00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:12,039 point, so you need to take Julius Random out of his chamber. Otherwise 562 00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:14,279 you have Kuzma playing at the three, and I just don't think that's a 563 00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:16,720 good a good setup. I don't really even know if I'm the Knicks being 564 00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:22,039 realistically ristic realistic, excuse me. Unless a star comes on the market, 565 00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:25,640 I'm not really looking to acquire anyone player so much as I'm looking to acquire 566 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,920 more minutes for certain players. Where it's so if we can get off Evan 567 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,920 Fournier's money, that helps open up things where again, I still would try 568 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,319 to get off Julius Randall's money. And if you're getting off Randall's money, 569 00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,720 then yeah, Kuzma makes a good amount of sense there, So that would 570 00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:43,519 be interesting if you're moving Julius Randall's part of it, and maybe the Wizards 571 00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:46,119 would be rebuilding or think Randall's like the third star and they'd prefer to pay 572 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,079 him over Kuzma is going to be free agent. I don't know. The 573 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,960 thunder Cam Reddish, yes, just give them all the wing projects James Wiseman 574 00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:57,359 and Patrick Baldwin Junior and Patrick Bowen Junior is a good one. He's had 575 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,039 some frisky minutes there for Golden State. Wiseman being sent to okay See when 576 00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:07,160 chet Homegren's there, they could probably play together once Homegrin is healthy. I 577 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,440 don't know that I would want to necessarily invest the equity and Wiseman, but 578 00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:13,440 perhaps you view him as having just the you know, he is such just 579 00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:16,400 this athletic specimen that you want to take the flyer. Homegren's not playing all 580 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,160 next year anyway, and he might need to be ease back. Are you 581 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,759 worried about his health long term? And they're still in your good player or 582 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,599 young player accumulation mode? I could see it. I guess. I just 583 00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:34,920 question what Okaysee's giving up for Wiseman, Like, are you getting I don't 584 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,799 know. Is it Baseley and it's ken Ridge Williams Like would they even give 585 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,799 that up? Is that something that they would do? I don't I just 586 00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:45,240 don't know what that package looks like because they're not moving. They wouldn't move 587 00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:49,720 Ludorf for that, or say or chet Homegrin or Josh Giddy or Rushman Jang 588 00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:53,119 and I just named their five highest paid players and they're sixth highest paid players. 589 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,480 John Williams so they also wouldn't trade for James Wiseman, their seventh highest 590 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,319 paid players Darius Baisley. Okay, maybe he makes four point three million, 591 00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:05,279 and so would have to be Baisley and Baisley and Kenrick Williams. Get you 592 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,839 there, that could be a trade that you would consider. I'm just I 593 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,599 thought not that. I thought. I'm pretty sure that Kendrick Williams in the 594 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:13,199 Thunder don't want to leave each other. You can go with the Wing project 595 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,320 in cam Reddish too. Again, what money are you sending out for that 596 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:22,320 though? Or then no magic Moses Moody, Sadik Bay draft picks, magic 597 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,920 or on fire right now? I would kind of like to see them improve 598 00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:28,400 there. I know they have Hampton, I know that they have Cole Anthony, 599 00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:31,119 they have my god, why can't I name Why can't I name? 600 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:34,559 Magic guards? They have jail and sucks, they have Mark el Foltz. 601 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,519 I would like to just see like more of a steadying hand at guard, 602 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,119 and like Moses Moody's not going to provide that on the ball. Draft picks 603 00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:45,159 make sense. They already have some extra in their chamber the Bulls this year, 604 00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:50,800 and then they have Denverse two thousand and twenty five pick. That's right. 605 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,000 I wouldn't give up any of those picks or their own pick by the 606 00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:55,559 way, to get Sadik Bays, So it seems like it's gonna take for 607 00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:00,639 him. And also I'd rather still see like chum Okk play than Sadique Bay 608 00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:06,480 even though that's that's been quite the adventure this year. I don't really Michael 609 00:35:06,559 --> 00:35:08,800 Moses Moody would make some kind of sense, like do the Warriors want Terrence 610 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:14,280 Ross or Gary Harris and a Moses Moody trade, So I don't hate that 611 00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:17,199 one taking a flyer on him, but I'd rather see them go after a 612 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,400 guard like they would be a fun maybe if Fred van Fleet team, if 613 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,039 the Raptors make him available, if that's too high end, like could you 614 00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:28,679 go with like do they need to enter the Jordan Clarkson sweepstakes? Maybe you 615 00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:32,239 want more of a playmak or even though Clarkson's passing has been better this year, 616 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,679 because they get Monte Morris just from Washington. If Washington turns, you 617 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,239 know, decides to do an about face and rebuild or just throw away this 618 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,400 season. Morris not had the best year, but he is a still pretty 619 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,599 good game manager Philly. They are a hard captain. It's tough. Gary 620 00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:52,079 Harris, Jay Crowder, Eric Gordon. I like Gary Harris for them. 621 00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:55,119 Jay Crowder would be fine. I don't know that I love him for them, 622 00:35:55,199 --> 00:35:58,559 but to replace some of the PJ. Tucker minutes with someone who might 623 00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:01,360 actually shoot you also then play really not really small, but you could play 624 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,880 Tucker and Crowder in the front court when Embiad is sitting. You could look 625 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,960 at that Philly salary match is awfully tough here though, because you know in 626 00:36:09,039 --> 00:36:12,760 Biad hard and you're not trading. I don't think you're Maybe you would trade 627 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,760 Tucker for Crowder at this point, I don't think they would. And who 628 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,920 wants the final two years of that contract and you're not gonna trade Melton. 629 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,760 You do have cork Mos at five million and table at four point four, 630 00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:25,760 so there are things you could do. Daniel House if you're not don't view 631 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,920 him his untouchable Yang at three point five. So yeah, there's numbers you 632 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,039 could get to. There's also Jaden Springer or some team wants to view him 633 00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,880 as sort of this project. The target that feels least most likely then, 634 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,480 though, would be like Okay, I guess Gary Harris, but like, 635 00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:45,679 what are you giving the magic to make that worth their while? Houston, 636 00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:50,760 maybe you could tell them on taking on Tobias Harris's money and like you're have 637 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,480 to include a whole bunch of stuff there, Like that gets super weird to 638 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,760 get to a nineteen million dollar number. So I don't know. I guess 639 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,159 Harris would be the most realistic of these three. I just don't know what 640 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,440 you're I know what you could send out, I just don't know why what 641 00:37:04,559 --> 00:37:07,559 are you attaching to make it worth or Landell's wild They want to look at 642 00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:10,320 James Bringer, and so you go with Jaden's Springer and for that doesn't even 643 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,960 get you the money, and so that's really tough sledding for Philly. But 644 00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:17,239 I do like the fits of basically all these guys. My favorite fit might 645 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:22,079 actually be Gary Harris for them, it could now it's probably Eric Gordon. 646 00:37:22,159 --> 00:37:24,119 No, No, let's just get back to twenty eighteen Rockets, The Phoenix 647 00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:30,320 Suns, John Collins, Kyle kuz Met, Eric Gordon Love Love Love Collins 648 00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:32,920 might be like the least interesting to me, just because I don't know what 649 00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:36,559 it cost to get him and he could play with DeAndre Ayton. Are you 650 00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:39,400 closing with that him over Cam Johnson. I would be interested to see him 651 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:45,360 playing the backup five here, but like DeAndre doesn't necessarily let you be the 652 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,519 five on offense, he would have to be the five on offense. I 653 00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:50,880 think Collins as best suited as being the five on offense, So I wouldn't 654 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,880 mind seeing him out of Phoenix if the cost is right there and Atlanta really 655 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,360 wants Jay Crowder. Kyle Kuzman makes I think a lot more sense as someone 656 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,880 who can diversify your package on both ends of the floor. He's been pretty 657 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,000 good as a helper, I think defensively in Washington and then also just on 658 00:38:05,079 --> 00:38:07,360 offense, where he's done a lot of on ball work but can work off 659 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,159 the ball as well. Gives you sort of a safety net if CP three 660 00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:14,199 goes down or is play. It's like kind of perking up on offense, 661 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:19,280 but it continues to creator and just having him and then Devin Booker, Mchal 662 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,760 Bridges and DeAndre and gives you a whole lot of bodies to cover up for 663 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,239 teams that are going to really seem like they're trying to capitalize on CB three 664 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,480 getting old where it's like they're really going after him now and attacking that mismatch. 665 00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:32,000 And I've been Eric Gordon, the Phoenix advocate for forever. He would 666 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,039 still give a lot of rim pressure relative to the rest of their perimeter guys, 667 00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:38,760 and you can get to his number with Charge and Jay Crowder. So 668 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,320 is there seconds in there? Would you give up your first maybe just protect 669 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,719 it like top twenty top twenty two or whatever. And you probably have to 670 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,599 rally a different team in there, just because why. I just Houston want 671 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,280 Jay Crowder and those two are expiring contracts. I know Houston shouldn't be interested 672 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:58,280 in Charge, they should be interested in the equity coming back Portland Trailblazers, 673 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,000 O g and and Obi again for Portland great for so many teams. I 674 00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:05,559 don't think Portland has the pick equity to get him. Maybe you consider trading 675 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,599 Shayden Sharpe to get him. Would actually get Toronto a bite. I don't 676 00:39:07,639 --> 00:39:12,639 know. Cam Reddish feels definitely more realistic to get some wing help. You 677 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,880 could just send out a salary and maybe a second. At this point, 678 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,679 perhaps you have to wait until the trade deadline because the Knicks are really trying 679 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:22,719 to wait out and see what their other plans are, So like you could 680 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,880 send out Justice's Winslow for him, So yeah, like that would be fine 681 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,079 to take a flyer on him, but you could also, I like the 682 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,360 final one here in mo Bamba. I like that, like to sort of 683 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,000 deepen your five rotation. You don't have to play small as much. I 684 00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:38,559 don't know what it costs to get him since he's playing so well, but 685 00:39:38,639 --> 00:39:42,559 you do have the like the smaller salaries to get his number, do they 686 00:39:42,639 --> 00:39:45,679 like Keyan Johnson and Orlando? So you could use him as sort of just 687 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,639 like the asset buffer there. And my question though is for Portland, it's, 688 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,159 well, what's the matching salary that goes out here? Because it would 689 00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:55,920 have to be Winslow at four point one and then Keian Johnson at two point 690 00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,559 seven. That doesn't even get you to a Mobamba salary, I don't think, 691 00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:04,440 because Mobamba is making ten point three and so it's like it's it's close, 692 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,159 So all right, does that work? Does that something Alanna want to 693 00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:08,599 do or you're attaching seconds to that? But I do like the idea of 694 00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:13,280 Mobamba. But my point was Phoenix is working with some constraints when it's not 695 00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:17,960 this super big trade because Lillard Simons, those are guys you're presumably not trading 696 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,000 Jeremy Grant at twenty one million, certainly not trading for I guess if you 697 00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:25,440 were getting og but probably like I don't know, so like if those players 698 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,960 aren't going out a deal, you have use of Nurkicch at fifteen point six. 699 00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:30,719 Josh Hart is a name that would get you a lot of different salary 700 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,639 matching tools. You would really have to believe that you're not keeping him beyond 701 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,119 this season. And there's GARYT. Payton the second at a point three million, 702 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,599 And so maybe I'm just underestimating the willingness for Pointing to move some of 703 00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:44,199 these guys. I'm just thinking, oh, they wouldn't trade Josh Hard or 704 00:40:44,199 --> 00:40:45,760 even GARYT. Peyton in the second. But maybe I'm just maybe I'm wrong 705 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,199 there. I'm thinking in a trade along the lines of the ones are mentioning 706 00:40:49,519 --> 00:40:54,360 here. Next up is the Sacramento Kings, Pascal siakam O, Giannaobi Kyle 707 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,760 Kho's I love it shoot shoot for the stars. Here. The Kings, 708 00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:02,559 like ZB notes, are objectively fun. They've gotten a little bit better defensively. 709 00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:07,159 Siakam would be perfect, and I think he's more gettable personally than o 710 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,239 Giana Nooby because I think if Toronto starts over, you're looking at moving Fred 711 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:15,639 van Fleet and Siakam and then basically everyone else but Coloko Anenobi and Scotty Barnes. 712 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,559 So that feels like semi realistic. Kyle Kuzma also like him too. 713 00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:22,000 He's probably still Harrison Barnes has gotten better, but he's probably still an upgrade 714 00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:24,679 there. He also just gives you the ability to play different lineup packages. 715 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,800 He could play with Barnes and Keegan Murray and like those three could play together 716 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,400 at the same time if you really want to. I just don't know. 717 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,880 Because the Kings gave up that first round pick for Kevin Herder and it's protected 718 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,440 until Kingdom come. They would have to trade conditional first out in the future 719 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,559 to get this done, and that's not again impossible. But if you're a 720 00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:47,920 team, you have to believe that the pick they owe to the Atlanta Hawks 721 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,880 this year is going to convey. Otherwise you're just going to be waiting and 722 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:57,880 waiting for that pick protection, and so you need to believe that they're twenty 723 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,440 twenty. They're twenty twenty four first to Atlanta and it's lottery protected, so 724 00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:06,159 that gets Dicey the first first round pick. They could theoretically promise the team 725 00:42:06,559 --> 00:42:08,679 is in twenty twenty eight, but if you go conditional, you can go 726 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:14,039 twenty twenty six. What else are you attaching here? Davion Mitchell does not 727 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,159 have a ton of cachet on the trade market right now. Same for Rashaun 728 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,440 Holmes. Are you willing to look at moving Keegan Murray already? Like? 729 00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:25,559 Is that to use that as a not Kyle Kuzma bait? But for Pascal 730 00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:30,440 Siakam, Hell, yes you do it? Is that plus distant first round 731 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,920 picks plus salary filler? I guess you're training Harrison Barnes. Let's say Keegan 732 00:42:35,039 --> 00:42:38,440 Murray and then picks, Like, does that get it done? In fear 733 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,400 there might have to be more money added, but does that get You could 734 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,079 go with Rashaun Holmes too to make money work? Like does that get it 735 00:42:45,159 --> 00:42:49,679 done for Siakam? If Toronto decides to sell, if they're all twenty six 736 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,000 and twenty eight first round picks, let's just say the Kings can do this. 737 00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:54,920 So I'm not even sure if they can. But two first, Keegan 738 00:42:55,039 --> 00:43:00,760 Murray Barnes for Pascal Siakam, and you could throw a home in there if 739 00:43:00,039 --> 00:43:04,440 if we need to make the money work, are they like is that enough? 740 00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:07,039 I think that you would probably get more for Pascal Siakam. I'd love 741 00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,239 for them to land him, though. It's harder to get Kuzma because like 742 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,119 you can't promise an iminute first round pick, which is what I think Washington 743 00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:16,480 would cove it. And I don't think you're giving up you. I wouldn't 744 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,119 give up Keegan Murray for him, Kea Murray's cost controls, and Kuzma is 745 00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:22,639 about to become a free agent. All the targets here makes sense, though, 746 00:43:22,679 --> 00:43:25,599 and OG just seems out of reach. I don't think Toronto's gonna move 747 00:43:25,639 --> 00:43:30,679 from the Spurs draft picks Patrick Williams Jaden Springer. I thought maybe Kobe White 748 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,719 would be for the Spurs, Like, let's take a flyer on a ball 749 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,719 handler could initiate offense. I wouldn't mind that for San Antonio. Patrick Williams, 750 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,079 Hell, yeah, what are you sending in Chicago though? That they 751 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:45,039 are going to give you Patrick Williams back, Like are you at the point 752 00:43:45,079 --> 00:43:49,480 where Chicago will take back they're twenty twenty five pick and they want Josh Richardson 753 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,280 and that gets you Patrick Williams like, and then maybe there's other stuff involved. 754 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,360 There is there anything else you could do? A deal you could take 755 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:59,119 on to grease the wheels from Chicago because san Antonio so much cap space, 756 00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:01,760 and that would look like, what, like, what is the deal that 757 00:44:02,079 --> 00:44:06,840 you don't love? If you're Chicago, there's really no if you liked the 758 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,960 Rosen and Lavine, there's no bad money on this team, or you willing 759 00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:12,800 like if the Spurs say, oh, we'll take on Lonzo Ball, Okay, 760 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,840 sure he has the two years after this one and guaranteed at like forty 761 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,679 two million. But Lonzo Ball is really good when he's healthy. So and 762 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,199 did it with that was Caruso And so it's I'm just I don't know how 763 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:28,840 the Bulls like what they're getting back from San Antonio that would get like make 764 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,239 them want to have Patrick Williams. I suppose what they could do is if 765 00:44:31,559 --> 00:44:35,920 san Antonio is looking to consolidate a little bit, like do they give up? 766 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,320 They're not going to give up a Hawks pick you offer you offer the 767 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,280 bulls pick, Like, this is the trade you offer, the bulls pick 768 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,760 you offer. I would assume Josh Richardson because he makes so much sense in 769 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:52,400 Chicago, and then what like Zach Collins. Uh, Like, I just 770 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,159 I don't know they have that that fake Charlotte first. So there are things 771 00:44:55,199 --> 00:44:58,000 they could do. But if you can get Patrick Williams, hell, yeah, 772 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,079 like let's just let's see that in action. So yes, and then 773 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,400 if not, you could go like super Blow, m Jay and Springer. 774 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,480 Maybe this doesn't feel like a cam Reddish team, but but maybe they could 775 00:45:07,519 --> 00:45:13,000 be the Toronto Raptors. Miles Turner, Yacca Peartle, Jordan Clarkson, Miles 776 00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:15,039 Turner, sure, where do you? I guess you could move Trent and 777 00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:17,800 stuff to get him. Yacca Pearto has been linked to the Raptors for forever, 778 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,760 and I guess he would really help them too. You have to believe 779 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,519 he's gonna play better and be healthier than he's been in San Antonio this year. 780 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,000 Clarkson theory helps their half court offense, but runs counter to the team 781 00:45:27,079 --> 00:45:30,119 that they've built where everyone needs to be between six seven and six nine. 782 00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:34,360 It's at Fred van Fleet and Christian Coloquo. So I get it. I 783 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,239 just I'm wondering if this team is willing to buy, they have the assets 784 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,000 to do it. I would love Eric Gordon here would be a really another 785 00:45:39,079 --> 00:45:44,119 good name to look at. I also thought like, is I know we 786 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,360 just signed an extension so it's hard to move, Like is Keldon Johnson untouchable 787 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,760 right now? My guess would be yes. But with the emergence of Devin 788 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,639 Vassell and the team like still kind of headed in the weirdo whatever direction, 789 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,800 like he would be a good fit in Toronto to give some rim pressure in 790 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,960 the half court. Maybe you want someone with more laterality. So Keldon Johnson 791 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,320 Toronto is not. I was just that was a Kelton Johnson using in general, 792 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,280 I just what is it costing you for Turner? You have the Trent 793 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,159 money, and then what picks are you able to do it with even smaller 794 00:46:10,199 --> 00:46:14,239 salaries to where? Because I think that Trent's skill set, even though he 795 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,199 can be in the doghouse in Toronto, like, it's important to what Toronto 796 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:21,400 is doing. And so you're looking at like are you using Chris Bouchet's money 797 00:46:21,519 --> 00:46:23,880 or Daddy is Young's money. Ken Birch and then including first round picks, 798 00:46:24,519 --> 00:46:29,559 and maybe you're taking Yo selling Indie Indian the injured pressures to Chua and what 799 00:46:29,639 --> 00:46:34,079 he did last year and he has the one cost control year left. I 800 00:46:34,199 --> 00:46:37,159 just I think this seems going to be hesitant to do any like real buys 801 00:46:37,199 --> 00:46:39,000 and probably would have even if they were pretty good. And I just feel 802 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,679 like it's more likely that they sell at this point. But if they're going 803 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,880 to buy, it needs to be. It's just sort of a half court 804 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:50,320 initiator who also doesn't like shrink their spacing and those you know, those are 805 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,960 players that a lot of team wants want and they're just not going to be 806 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,800 available in heavy supply. Also just question or are they willing to deviate from 807 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,280 their archetype, Like yeah, okay, if Jordan Carkson's available and you can 808 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,320 get them, like what do you like, are you willing to get someone 809 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,360 that small? Or like if you can get a manual quickly from the Knicks, 810 00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:07,760 not necessarily a half court guy, but it gives you some real distant 811 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:14,320 shooting and doesn't compromise your defense too much. Could you swap like bad contracts 812 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,280 with not bad but like money you don't want with New Orleans for DeVante Graham, 813 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,440 But are you willing to go for a player as small as DeVante Graham 814 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,039 there? And so if you're willing to deviate from like the model that they're 815 00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:27,239 in in Toronto, there are certainly somethings you could do. And maybe it's 816 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,480 not a buy like Superby or a sell. It's just something that would be 817 00:47:30,039 --> 00:47:35,360 a middle ground type of player, and like someone who springs to mind, 818 00:47:35,679 --> 00:47:37,519 like a middle ground where it's like you're not really giving up a ton of 819 00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:42,119 equity for them, but maybe it's still sort of works. I guess that's 820 00:47:42,119 --> 00:47:44,800 not really like is that player even out there? Like could you get carros 821 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,760 Lavert out of Cleveland and used to kind of Gary Trent for carros Lavert? 822 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:52,000 And something else like maybe you take the flyer on Isaac Lakorro? Is that 823 00:47:52,079 --> 00:47:55,719 too low for Trent? I mean, perhaps it's certainly possible, like they 824 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,079 would want more for him. You could go after Terry ros Year, but 825 00:47:59,079 --> 00:48:00,440 I wouldn't want his money on the books if I'm Toronto, just to bring 826 00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:04,320 him off the bench. And you're thinking about paying Fred van Fleet, siakam 827 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,559 Aji Nooby and Anoby excuse me. Downline Bogs mcdonovitch would be kind of perfect 828 00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:12,480 for the Raptors if the Hawks were we're looking to sell. But yeah, 829 00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:15,480 so Toronto is tough to figure out. I think my favorite one of these 830 00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:20,320 would probably actually be Jordan Clarkson. But yeah, the Jazz, who are 831 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,239 all of a sudden buyers. They'll probably do something in the middle ground though 832 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,000 where they or they'll sell. I don't think they'll go. Collins would be 833 00:48:25,079 --> 00:48:29,760 fun there too. I don't think they'll go the John Collins route or flat 834 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,360 out by, but maybe they'll do something in the middle of Peyton Pritchard might 835 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:36,519 be that type of guy. That being said, like you have Colin Sexton, 836 00:48:36,599 --> 00:48:38,559 you have Jordan Clarkson, you have Mike Conley right now, you have 837 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:43,440 Nikki Alexander Walker, like he's had some nice minutes for them. Jackson Hayes 838 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,840 would be fun because he doesn't help. He spaced the floor and they like 839 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,000 to play five out. You're already getting away playing Kessler h Walker, Kessler, 840 00:48:50,039 --> 00:48:53,920 excuse me, and like you know you can excuse me. You can 841 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,679 then play like not you could flip their minutes and Jacksons gives you a lot 842 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,039 of like perimeter defense, not the great his rim protector, and just some 843 00:49:00,199 --> 00:49:05,280 raw athleticism for certain lineups. And like with Kelly Olynk, headed towards free 844 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,880 agency, you don't know how much longer he's gonna be around. That could 845 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,199 be a fun just sort of like second draft guy. And then Nikola Yovich 846 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,320 just like yeah, let's hey, let's just lean into this like sort of 847 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,119 front court model or whatever. And I think if you're getting him, you're 848 00:49:16,119 --> 00:49:21,320 probably also targeting Heat picks, because if you're getting Yovich, I'm assuming like 849 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,360 you're sending out someone the Heat want. Is it Mike Conley? Is it 850 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,800 again? I don't know if you send them Kelly Olynik like that reunion, 851 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,199 that's not getting you Yovich. I don't think Malik Beasley. Is he too 852 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,440 small though, But like if it's a Beasley trade, like he's someone who 853 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,039 could probably help the Heat. Are you having to take on Duncan Robinson in 854 00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:39,599 that deal? Though? It would be something that you really need to consider. 855 00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:43,840 If I'm Miami, I would love lowry marketing, but you're gonna need 856 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,480 like two first round picks for that at minimum. I don't think Miami would 857 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:51,639 want Jordan Clarkson. With hero Butler and Lowry there. But if you are 858 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,840 getting excuse me, if you are getting Yovich, like if they're not giving 859 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:59,400 you that for Nikkila, Alexander Walker, maybe Jared Vanderbilt, but like, 860 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,360 are they can that he doesn't really space the floor at all? So that 861 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,920 could that could definitely be something to look at. The final team, The 862 00:50:06,039 --> 00:50:09,360 Washington Wizard's toughest hell to figure out. Oh my god, zib derosing Collins 863 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,559 and Carus So, I don't you gotta explain the de Rosin thing for me? 864 00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:15,400 If you run him a point guard? I guess I get it, 865 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,920 But I think they need someone who's going to give you even more of a 866 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,000 change of cadence than that, Like you have the game manager type in, 867 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,519 you have that in Monte Morris, Wizard trends. I'm not gonna happen with 868 00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:27,840 him, I get it. I don't even know what de Rosin trade looks 869 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,239 like for this team. I think it's pretty I guess you go with Kuzma 870 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:35,239 and Barton is like the money you get there is Chicago doing that? Like 871 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,880 what does that do for Chicago? Maybe they get you Collins from Atlanta at 872 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,480 this point because those those salaries come off the books. Kuzma is probably more 873 00:50:42,599 --> 00:50:45,920 used to being like the four wing type that doesn't need to be used as 874 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:50,079 a screen center as often as Collins would prefer. So that makes sense. 875 00:50:50,599 --> 00:50:52,360 That would end Would I do that? If I'm Washington, I'm really high 876 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,400 on Kuzma right now. But Collins is under contract. He can play with 877 00:50:55,519 --> 00:51:00,000 KP. And that's a situation where if KP you stagger the minutes of KP's 878 00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:05,079 okay spotting up, then you can use Collins as the screener. Or you 879 00:51:05,159 --> 00:51:07,239 could, like if you want KP to handle the ball and try and get 880 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,320 him to run some dual big pick and roll as, you could do that. 881 00:51:08,679 --> 00:51:12,360 I don't hate it. Cruso makes a lot of sense just from a 882 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,800 defensive perspective. But if you're unless you're giving up Denny Avdia, which if 883 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,000 the bulls are giving up Caruso, maybe they are taking on something like the 884 00:51:19,519 --> 00:51:24,440 Avdia or Hachimura just because of their or are they getting like are they flipping 885 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,440 out? I don't know if Caruso Kuzma is a good trade for either side, 886 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,159 to be honest, but Cruso doesn't shoot, then they obd is afraid 887 00:51:30,199 --> 00:51:34,679 to shoot, so that's something you would need to factor in. Caruso would 888 00:51:34,679 --> 00:51:37,599 be interesting there though. I like Collins the most out of list and the 889 00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:39,400 Juros, and I'm just not sure what the framework looks like. And the 890 00:51:39,519 --> 00:51:43,920 Wizards, you know, you have to factor in there, like they're sort 891 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,360 of in the King's dilemma. They have the twenty twenty three first oh to 892 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,760 the Knicks, but it's lottery protected. Then it's top twelve protected in twenty 893 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,880 and twenty four, Top ten and twenty five, Top eight, and twenty 894 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,760 six. So theoretically the soonest they can promise a first round pick because you 895 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,119 need to skip a year or two, they can trade a conditional first round 896 00:52:01,159 --> 00:52:05,760 pick, but are do you trust that the Wizards are gonna convey this year's 897 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,360 pick to the Knicks when it's a lottery protected No, you absolutely don't. 898 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:12,480 And so to get DeRozan for that, I thought Atlanta would want at least 899 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,000 like some kind of a first for Collins. You do have. Again, 900 00:52:15,079 --> 00:52:16,960 Denny Avia could be involved in a trade. Would I give him up for 901 00:52:17,039 --> 00:52:21,840 Collins? Probably not. I'm super high on Danny Avia, and if just 902 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,159 based off what we've heard about Collins's value, would you give up a Kissberg 903 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:29,760 or a Davis plus salary like to sort of make that work again, you 904 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,320 might just need Kuzma and Pardon to get Collins their way to get Collins without 905 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,840 giving up Kuzma. Probably not unless Atlanta is looking for strictly cap relief in 906 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,960 Barton, and then you could go with if they actually wanted young players, 907 00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:44,480 like if you could keep Kuzma over Avdia and you were gonna resign Kuzma. 908 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,559 Do you think a lot of people around the league, based off what I've 909 00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:51,199 read and heard, are going to want or believe excuse me, that Kuzma 910 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:52,960 is leaving anyway? So if you're feeling that way, then yeah, absolutely 911 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,719 trade him.
