But yeah, let's get into 11 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,439 this. So the Bradley Beale and the Wizards to get the phrasing here because 12 00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:04,280 it was so funny. Both Wogan Sham's basically had the same phrasing wos. 13 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,840 The beginning of his article is this, as rival teams begin reaching out to 14 00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:12,040 the Washington Wizards to explore the possibility of trading for three time All Star God 15 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:18,319 Guard Bradley Beale, team president Michael Winger and Beale's agent Mark Bartlestein of Priority 16 00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:23,359 Sports are staying in close contact to discuss scenarios presented to the franchise, sources 17 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,920 told ESPN. On Wednesday, Sham's effectively tweeted that Bill and the Wizards will 18 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,480 work together to find him a destination if they decide to rebuild. The framing 19 00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:37,200 is just funny. Bradley Beale has that no trade clause, which it's really 20 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,640 kind of hysterical that they gave it to him, Like the fact that they 21 00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:45,040 gave out the NBA's only no trade clause after guaranteeing him two hundred and fifty 22 00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:48,439 one million dollars, as if that just wasn't enough, and it included a 23 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,280 player option on top. I don't know that I've ever seen a team lose 24 00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:56,640 a negotiation more. That's just good for Bradley Beale, but the Wizards have 25 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,959 really painted themselves into a corner there. Of course, they don't have to 26 00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:04,040 work together because bald and veto any trade he has. I will my first 27 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,879 thoughts on this because we're gonna get to Bradley Beal trade destinations, but very 28 00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:13,080 quickly Michael Winger, and that intro pressor was pretty candid about saying the Wizards 29 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,960 are not contenders is currently constructed. All the reporting behind that based off things 30 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:23,240 he said. It really made it seem as if he does have full autonomy 31 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,000 to run monumental basketball, and that would mean if he wanted to rebuild, 32 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,599 he could. And there were some hints of reporting that if they that if 33 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:35,280 they wanted to rebuild, they could. This seems this reporting coming out now, 34 00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:39,120 I take it as okay, Ted Beyonce, this is actually going to 35 00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:44,159 allow them to do so, which is something I talked about this with Believe 36 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,719 in Wizards is that's a great podcast. Check it out. Matt Maderno, 37 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:50,800 we talked about this and we were just skeptical, at least I was collectively 38 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,919 skeptical that he would have that agency. Yes she could guarantee it. Yes 39 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,800 he left the Clippers, and so it infers that he could have the freedom 40 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,159 to blow this thing up. But what do you actually have it. It's 41 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:04,039 more of a believe it when I see it, and I still I'm there 42 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,960 just because Ted the Ons, this is involved. This is the Wizards we're 43 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,280 talking about. Let's see them move. Bradley Beal like at all, like 44 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,879 actually, and then the trickle down effect of that. Kyle Kuzma has that 45 00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:16,159 player option, he's going to opt out. What do you do with him? 46 00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:17,759 Do you let him leave? Can you work? Assign and trade? 47 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Christops Porzingis is a player option for thirty six plus million. You get rid 48 00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:23,919 of him because he opted in? Do you trade him? Do you just 49 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,599 keep him? Try and move him later? What happens with Denny Avia he's 50 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:31,400 extension knowledgeable. There's just a whole litany of trickle down effects if you actually 51 00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:35,800 move Beal And so I'm still the mind I'll believe it when I see it. 52 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:38,680 At the same time, this reporting coming out so soon after a winger 53 00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:45,080 and Darylhawkers took control of the organization, it believes people that, Okay, 54 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,479 they actually do have this freedom. And I would expect be able to be 55 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:50,680 traded by the end of the off season. Maybe not by the draft on 56 00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:53,759 Thursday, but certainly by the end of the off season. And so you 57 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:59,319 get start to get into scenarios and the reporting on this. The Miami Heat 58 00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,840 are interested, the Sixers are apparently not interested. Other teams have been thrown 59 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,120 out there with speculation Brian Winhorse did say I don't know on what medium. 60 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:09,680 By the way, I don't know if he was a Whop collective. I 61 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,800 certainly didn't hear it there, but someone aggregated it, and he apparently said 62 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:19,040 people will be surprised at how little Bradley Beale goes for because his contract is 63 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:25,040 so undesirable. I get it. He is about the turn thirty. He's 64 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,439 played in just ninety games over the past two seasons, though I think you 65 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,120 could argue had the Wizards had something to play for, he arguably appears in 66 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,319 more games than that. But if you're concerned about injuries, fine, he's 67 00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:36,319 about turn and thirty. He's owed about two hundred and seven point seven million 68 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,519 dollars over the next four years, the final season of which is a fifty 69 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,120 seven point one million dollar player option in two and twenty six two twenty seven, 70 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:49,800 which is going to be his age thirty three campaign. Old not ancient, 71 00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:54,040 but fifty seven millions a lot, and we're going to get into the 72 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,279 teams. We're getting there, But I want to outlay this a bunch. 73 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,160 I still think the Wizards end up getting if I just set the old over 74 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,600 under on two first round picks or the equivalent of prospects, or if we 75 00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:05,560 want to go one point vive, I'm going to take the over there. 76 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,879 I don't think this is just a salary dump, but so a six Yers 77 00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:11,240 fans joking, Okay to Bias Harrison, A pick you wouldn't have to give 78 00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:14,639 up Tyrese Maxe for Bradley Beale. Would I give up Tyrese Maxie for Bradley 79 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:19,160 bald No, but teams that are that asset Baron. I don't really think 80 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,319 it's not going to be an expiring contract plus a low level pick. It's 81 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560 going to be more even with the no trade clause. Bradley Beale, I'm 82 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,000 sure smart enough to know, well, I don't want to bankrupt the team 83 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,360 I'm going to They're already going to be ultra inflexible because of my salary. 84 00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,839 So yes, I do think that drives down the cost just being just the 85 00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:41,319 money he's owed. That's I don't know that that's a it's not a desirable 86 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:43,879 contract. But Bradley is also really good. It's probably one of the thirty 87 00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:46,279 twenty five best players in the NBA at minimum. He can make all MBA 88 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,920 on any given season, and I think his three point accuracy is down. 89 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,720 We have to look at the role that he's shouldered. His shot quality is 90 00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,399 not necessarily what it was earlier in his career. He's turned into a maestro 91 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,480 inside the arc. He's one of the very bad combo guard playmakers in the 92 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:04,120 league. This is someone who can drive an offense, as I would call 93 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,120 it, would the one be playmaker, very close to a primary playmaker, 94 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,759 and that's huge. And the way that he can get defense is scrambling in 95 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,600 the half court also huge. And I firmly believe you put him on a 96 00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:17,319 team, and even if the Wizards just turned around and traded for a different 97 00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:21,519 type of point guard, I think that you see his outside shooting reach another 98 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,319 level. I also think that you probably see his defense, which has not 99 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,680 been great, it probably improves just relative to his maybe shouldering a little less 100 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,920 of a of a workload. So there are situations where I think you look 101 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,759 at the contract and go, well, we're not bringing him in to be 102 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,160 our alpha and he's not going to be our highest paid player. That creates 103 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:45,360 other issues though, and for the Wizards specifically, yeah, they should have 104 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,800 moved him already if this was the end game. But it's a different regime. 105 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,720 You can't throw that on Michael Winger. But they should have moved him 106 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,920 already, Like this is just terrible asset management by the Wizards in general. 107 00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,800 Looking at ted leonsis why not make the decision to get rid of shepherds and 108 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:04,040 the other thing here we talk about trickle down effects. You're probably not going 109 00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:06,600 to get as much, if anything, for Kuzma. Should you have to 110 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,279 agree to assign and trade or you're gonna get into the bird rights trap with 111 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,839 him anyway and end up with him on the roster and maybe he comes harder 112 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,399 to trade on its next deal. I don't know. Could be the same 113 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:19,040 thing with Christopher porzingis they've mismanaged this situation and so the time to trade Bradley 114 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,040 Beal has already passed. It was when he didn't have a no trade clause. 115 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,800 Still, I think, if I think you're gonna get, I'm gonna 116 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,079 set the over rounder at one point five first round picks or equivalent prospects, 117 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,920 and I'll take the over And I think I think if I moved it to 118 00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:38,360 two point five, I'm not saying high level picks, unprotected picks from the 119 00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:42,560 magic or somebody or even the thunder, But if I had to, I 120 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,399 would probably nudget towards the over of two point five there as well, Like 121 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,360 maybe it's someone who's has a year only a year left on his rocky scale 122 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,199 and he's going to be like like an Obie toppin type situation. I don't 123 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,279 think the next get involved, but just as a just as a means for 124 00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:00,600 that. So the issue you run into here, and why do you think 125 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,680 his price could be driven down? The new collective arguing agreement is so punitive 126 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,720 that if you're going to have someone on your team making thirty five percent of 127 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,959 a cap, let's just say, like the days of having three of those 128 00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:15,839 players, insofar as any teams really had three of them at once, which 129 00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:20,040 we haven't seen three thirty five percent max players on the same roster, I 130 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360 would argue, ever, like Kyrie Durant and James Harden, I think would 131 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:28,240 have been the closest we we would have come. But it's it's just it's 132 00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:31,360 beyond prohibitive. Just the NBA has made it virtually impossible with all the penalties, 133 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:35,279 the limitations on fleshing out the rest of your team, and for some 134 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,120 of these other teams that we're going to mention. I think we need to 135 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,440 bear in mind if you're gonna be on that second apron, which is like 136 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,399 one seven nine point five million, I haven't been able to figure out whether 137 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,240 it kicks in this summer, like if it kicks in for the next league 138 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,200 year, if it's the one after, Like some of this stuff is being 139 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,600 phased in, but you can't if you're the Clippers, for example, you 140 00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:58,000 can't trade your twenty twenty eight and twenty thirty picks. You can only trade 141 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,559 up to twenty twenty nine because when you're over the second apron, they kind 142 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,919 of wall off a pick that is seven years out of the draft. And 143 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,759 there's just other restrictions there, and I'm still even just learning about them. 144 00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:11,679 Like if you're seven million dollars, this is one that just got by me. 145 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,960 If you're seven million dollars past the first luxury tax apron, you lose 146 00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:20,320 like a chunk of your minimlie essentially, just absolutely like this stuff is just 147 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600 absolutely why I can't believe the Players Union agree to itself. So, but 148 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,840 those are limitation teams are up against, and so many of those are probably 149 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:28,879 the teams that or some of those at least that probably Bill wants to go 150 00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:33,679 to, and so that will inherently drive down his market, which is why 151 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,120 I'm reticent to go all the way up to two point five picks, prospects, 152 00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:39,639 whatever. But this is not I don't think it's going to be a 153 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,519 deal. Yeah, we'll look back and say, yeah, the Wizards maybe 154 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,720 could have gotten more two three years ago. Definitely, we will absolutely do 155 00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:46,480 that. But I don't know if we look back at this and say, 156 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,639 wow, Michael Winger and the Wizards took a bath here. I'm just not 157 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,960 entirely convinced. Maybe I'm underestimating even the new CBA climate that I'm not afraid 158 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,639 of, but already just feels like a reckoning is coming there. So let's 159 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,039 get the teams and we can go through the entire NBA here. There are 160 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,559 some teams that will link to them, and we'll start alphabetically because they're gonna 161 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,320 crop up in Atlanta. No, there's just you have de Jante Murray and 162 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:16,759 Trey Young. Boston's interesting. They're a team that will be linked to him 163 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:18,200 at some point, I think because him and Jason Tatum are tight and there's 164 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,519 been sort of rumblings about them wanting to play together in the ether, if 165 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,240 not just flat out in the open for some time. Getting to a package 166 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,799 worth Bradley Beal is really difficult, and so if you're a team that's really 167 00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,600 not up against any other limitations where you have to go dollar for dollar in 168 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,720 trades, which I don't think that kicks in just yet, where you can't 169 00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:43,360 aggregate or take on extra salary. So there's that, but you still need 170 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,039 to send out like thirty seven point two thirty seven point three million dollars to 171 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:52,639 fit in Beal's salary. The Celtics can do that without including Jaylen Brown or 172 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,799 Jason Tatum. And are the Wizards going to accept that package? It probably 173 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,159 depends on Okay, well, they don't really have a use for Let's say 174 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,679 they're gonna go Malcolm Brogden and Marcus Smart or Malcolm Brogden and Derek White, 175 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,039 or maybe Robert Williams has involved in there, like they can get to the 176 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,879 number to acquire Beal with how kimming up Tatum or Brown? I don't know. 177 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,960 I think they probably have some interest in RW three, especially if they're 178 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,639 gonna move Porzingis and maybe even Gafford, like Brogg didn't Smart. Even white 179 00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:22,720 good players don't necessarily fit their timeline. The Celtics can trade I'm gonna say, 180 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,639 up to three first round picks. It's technically four, but if they're 181 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:28,360 gonna run into second Apron concerns, if you're gonna stay under the second apron, 182 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,639 they can trade up to four first round picks. And so that gets 183 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:33,559 really interesting. Even though they're they're the Celtics, and so if you can 184 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,200 keep Jalen Brown and Jason hydn'man get Bradley Beal, Grant and I my co 185 00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:43,480 host for anyone who's new round these parts. We talked about this that having 186 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,639 Beal on the Celtics, knowing how they their offense siels to bog down either 187 00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:52,120 when the pace of play is slower or they just get nudged off their typical 188 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,120 offensive script if their shots aren't falling and they start committing turnovers and dribbling to 189 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,000 nowhere. Adding another guy who would be the best playmaker on your team, 190 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,360 I would say, especially if Marcus Smart ends up going out as part of 191 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,000 this deal, there's certainly a case take the swing and figure out the financials 192 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,480 later, especially if by the way, maybe you're not convinced, Like, 193 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,360 we don't know what's gonna happen with Jalon Brown Supermax. If he rejects it, 194 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,120 it's okay, well then we look at moving Jalon Brown. Here. 195 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,559 Grant had made the case that he would trade Jalon Brown for Bradley Beal based 196 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,879 off what the Celtics need. That couldn't be a one for one, but 197 00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:28,679 you could just it would be you know, Jalon Brown and Daniela Gallinari. 198 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,039 I think the Wizards are the team though that ends up having to send out 199 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:35,480 other assets there and their first round pick situation is wild. I don't know 200 00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:39,440 why you want to send out a first round pick in this scenario if you're 201 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,200 them, and so I think you then get into three team scenarios where it's 202 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:50,679 okay Jalon Brown to where and the Wizards are involved and it's you know Jalon 203 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,840 Brown. Is Portland give you number three for Jalon Brown, which would then 204 00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:58,960 Land Bradley Beal and Boston and you're building framework. I'm just throwing out framework 205 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:03,360 that way. I guess I don't think Portland's gonna give up number three for 206 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,960 Jalon Brown, would be my guest. But maybe there's other stuff include like 207 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,519 can you get Denny Ava over to Portland as well? And if you're Washington 208 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,720 and you get you, it costs you Beal and Avdia maybe seconds to get 209 00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:16,320 the number three pick in Missuars you're have on top of what you already have. 210 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,039 I think there's some people that might even argue, hey, you know, 211 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:22,559 throw out the number eight pick in there, and then it's but that's 212 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,919 to move up five spots, so it gets really really freaking weird there. 213 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,360 They have Johnny Davis, they have Corey Kisspert, they have Daniel Gaffer, 214 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:31,919 who actually might make some sense for Portland, so you can expand the deal 215 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,840 even delon righter Monte Morris as a backup guard for them. That's one route 216 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,159 you could go. But if Boston's gonna get Bradley Beal, I don't hate 217 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,360 it. I actually liked the destination, like finances be damned, and I 218 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,600 think their package will be rather competitive even if they're you know, let's say 219 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,759 Jalon Brown isn't involved. That's when you try and find other players. Can 220 00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:56,200 you get extra first round equity for Derek White Malcolm Brogden r W three if 221 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,360 Washington doesn't want him? But I think I think you have at least one 222 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,000 player Washington would want in RWA, that's my guess. Maybe not, but 223 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,279 you can move these other guys. I don't know if Brogdon's worth a first, 224 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,720 maybe to a certain maybe to a contender, like a really late first, 225 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,240 but then your money has to go back to the Wizards there. If 226 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,320 they're rebuilding, that shouldn't be too much of an issue. But I would 227 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,840 think Derek White and Marcus Smart and RW three certainly get you additional first. 228 00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:20,399 Plus you have all your own first after the one that conveys to indeed this 229 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,600 year. So I think they're a sneaky destination. The Nets. They'd be 230 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,360 kind of wild because they have Michael Bridges and Nick Claxton, and so let's 231 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,879 just say they decide, okay, those two are off limits and we'll go 232 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,600 from there. I mean, they're gonna have problems getting to the salary, 233 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,360 well, they won't even they have Joe Harris's expiring contract and they have Ben 234 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:43,159 Simmons, like you could just use Ben Simmons has two years left on his 235 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,399 deal for bradleybal Straight up, how many picks do we need to attach to 236 00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:48,519 interest the Wizards here and we'll even you know, maybe we'll throw in Cam 237 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:54,120 Thomas Day Ron Sharpe and they have Look, the nets is their own draft 238 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,399 is pretty straft. But they have Phoenix's first this year that checked in at 239 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,080 number twenty one. They have Phoenix's first in twenty twenty five and twenty seven 240 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,039 and twenty twenty nine, plus Dallas's pick in twenty and twenty nine. There's 241 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,200 some swap rights sprinkled in, so they could I'm not saying they should, 242 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,919 but like they could trade a bunch of picks themselves. And so Ben Simmons 243 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,799 plus picks does that get it done? And you're the netscher decided, Hey, 244 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,919 we don't control our own draft, and so we want to win now 245 00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:22,159 beal McHale Bridges and Nick Claxton. And if you get if you keep Dorian 246 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,120 Finney Smith as part Cam Johnson as well, if you keep him as part 247 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,200 of it, I mean, wow, that's a core I wouldn't I just 248 00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:33,360 I feel like they're a team that could theoretically blinked. I doubt they will 249 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,120 be. That's not I feel like that's not all the front office thinks, 250 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,519 but that would be interesting. Charlotte's just a big fat No Chicago also know 251 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,519 with just zack Lelina de Martroz, and they're Cleveland's and know they've made their 252 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:46,080 trade. Dallas would probably love to get involved, but they can trade this 253 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:52,080 year's first, so the number ten and you know, a twenty six or 254 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,480 twenty seven first, depending on the how the obligation to New York shakes out, 255 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,519 and then what salary. So you're looking at Davis Berton's and Tim Hardaway 256 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:06,240 Junior or Tim Hardaway Junior and Matey Keeb doesn't get you there. So they're 257 00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:07,559 best offer, and I think they're a team that would probably have to field 258 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:14,960 their best offer here. It's salary filler plus Josh Green, Jaden Hardy and 259 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,559 two first round picks, one of which is top ten. Does that what 260 00:16:17,799 --> 00:16:22,480 the Wizards whistle? Maybe? But then again Beal if you're if you think 261 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,159 Irving's gonna come back, Beal's not what you need on this team. That's 262 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,879 sort of okay, Kyrie Irving is leaving, can we go out and get 263 00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:32,120 Bradley Beal? And then you've just you've bankrupted your assets again and you really 264 00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,320 have an edit defense, So rule Dallas out, But that would be their 265 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,799 best package Denver, reigning champion Denver, No Detroit. I just don't he'd 266 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,320 be interesting here. I want to I don't want to skip over these teams 267 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,840 that I feel like don't get covered enough, especially now. But I would 268 00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:49,440 be interested to see Kay Cunningham play with Bradley b Okay Cunningham, Bradley Beale, 269 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:52,960 Jalen Durn I would actually love it. But they're just not feels about 270 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,519 to turn thirty. And I still think even after spending all that money on 271 00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,360 Monty Williams, even after having Boyan Bogdanovich, they have the No. Five 272 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:02,519 pick, they have Jade and Ivy, the way that they pulled out the 273 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,240 Jameson Wisman trade, they're very they're skewing win later the Warriors. I think 274 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,720 this is a team that's going to come up and you can get to the 275 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:15,319 money if you're you know, without breaking up your core, because Jordan Pool 276 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,920 is going to start making twenty eight point seven million, and so between Jonathan 277 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:25,359 cominga Moses Moody that just gets you there basically to Bradley Beale's number, I 278 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,440 believe. And you have other like GP two. If you need to throw 279 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,759 them in there, do you do it? Yeah? I would do it, 280 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,160 and you can also trade your twenty six and twenty eight picks right now. 281 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,920 In addition, and again as I mentioned, you have COMINGO, you 282 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,799 have a mood. You have Jordan Pool. Now, Jordan pools guaranteed one 283 00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:41,400 hundred and twenty three million over the next four years. Do the Wizards Ruth 284 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,480 as a net negative? Are they willing to take a gamble on him? 285 00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:48,279 I think that very much matters. I doubt you get out of this deal 286 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,000 without including cominga and then you're very much aging up your core. But like 287 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,119 the window is Steph Curry and so adding the three year old shock creator who 288 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,119 can actually run an offense on like what we've seen from Jordan Pool, who 289 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,680 yes is tributed contributed to it, not just a contender, but a title 290 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,400 team. In the past, even the non Steph Curry minutes end were iffy 291 00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:10,079 and he even had his peaks and values. Bill is going to give you 292 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,079 more of a steadiness and he offsets any decline offensively that you're gonna get from 293 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,799 Draymond Green or more specifically Clay Thompson moving forward. And also look, Thompson's 294 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,920 entering the final year of his deal. We don't know what's going to happen 295 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,079 kind of a safeguard against him leaving. Are you willing to pay all five 296 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,640 of these guys just the tax bill. We won't even need to calculate. 297 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,200 It will just be absolutely through the roof, moving through the roof next year, 298 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,160 but even just moving forward. But I think they're a team that should 299 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:41,000 absolutely investigate it. Houston's and know, even if they signed James Harden for 300 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:42,799 them to want Bradley Beale, I think they would need to end up with 301 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,119 you know, Jaalen Brown or somebody in a separate trade, maybe McHale Bridges 302 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,240 or something. But even that would feel sort of like aiming for a double 303 00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:53,039 or a triple rather than a home run when accelerating your timeline. The Pacers 304 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,039 I would love Beal and Tyres Halibert and but just let it marinate. You've 305 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:02,240 got the number eight pick, not excuse me, number seven pick in this 306 00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:06,880 year's draft, Benedick Mathern cap space. Yeah, like you don't need you 307 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,319 don't need Bradley, Like that's two. That's accelerating your timeline. Probably too 308 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,400 much. They would be though, just if you didn't have to give up 309 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,640 Miles Turner, Tyrese Halibert and man, if you didn't have to give up 310 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,240 Benedick Mathern, does it get more like you can step out of your way 311 00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:23,000 to the money because of Buddy Heals nineteen point three million dollars salary and you 312 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,599 have cap space, so like you don't even if you really wanted to, 313 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:29,640 you could you could keep Buddy Healed and you just start, oh, hey, 314 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,000 Daniel Tyson, T J. McConnell, and we'll throw some jail and 315 00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:36,720 Smith in there, Christa Warte like take a flyer on him. And then 316 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:38,640 picks. You have three picks in this year's draft, maybe not giving up 317 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,720 your own, you're gonna have to include these one of it. If you're 318 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,039 not in killing mathin, you're gonna have to include some of your own future 319 00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:47,119 first in that they could be sneaky. That's just not how they operate. 320 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,519 I'm just looking in terms of basketball fit here. The Clippers I think are 321 00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:53,519 actually a real destination for them. I don't think they're gonna care about the 322 00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:56,799 forthcoming penalties, and they might look at this summer as okay, we can 323 00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:00,599 aggregate salaries, like let's go ahead and do this, and their top offer. 324 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,559 I don't know if they would need to feel the entire thing. It's 325 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:08,039 basically I would say salary fillers, and Washington would very much be viewing it 326 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:12,400 as Okay, Marcus Morris doesn't fit our timeline, but his contrast expiring did 327 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,440 over Nick Patuma, Robert Comington, and we'll sell them off and get other 328 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:21,880 assets. But you go, you go, Terrence Man, you have the 329 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,640 number thirty pick in this year's draft. You could see if Washington wants fires 330 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,400 on Jason Preston or Brandon Boston, and then you can trade your twenty eight 331 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,680 or twenty nine picks right now, because again in theory, I guess you 332 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,880 could trade twenty eight and thirty if that whole seven years out doesn't FaZe in 333 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,880 until this summer. But I'm a little fuzzy on those details. So basically, 334 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,279 two first round picks, one of which is the number thirty pick in 335 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,799 in this year's draft, and then a future So the number thirty pick plus 336 00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:51,200 another future first and then Terrence Man plus salary filler. Is that that might 337 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,279 not they might not want to give up that much if you could just get 338 00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:56,200 it for number thirty in that future first Like hell yeah, I'm doing it, 339 00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:00,359 throwing number forty eight from this year, which is the second secon round 340 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,720 pick. The Clippers have yet go go nuts there, So if Winger really 341 00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:07,839 has and like you just worked at the Clippers, so we understand intimately how 342 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,759 rocky their future is. Hell yeah, Like you could view that as the 343 00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:14,920 centerpiece and say, hey, like we're going on patient and this is the 344 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,119 twenty twenty eight first that we have, but like it's going to take time 345 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,799 to convey it's unprotected or whatever. I think that they could feel the competitive 346 00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:25,319 offer as well. The Lakers, I don't see it. They can basically 347 00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:27,839 do a lot of the same things. The Clippers can give you the twenty 348 00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:30,480 eight or twenty nine or excuse me, they can give you the twenty twenty 349 00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:33,519 nine first round pick. If that's unprotected, it gets interesting. And they 350 00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:37,079 have number seventeen in this year's draft. But getting to the salary number is 351 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,640 just basically impossible. Even if you guarantee Beasley and Bomba and then just include 352 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,200 a whole bunch of players, you're not there. You only have forget even 353 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:52,839 guaranteed contracts. You have Lebron ad Mo Bamba, Malik Beasley, Jared Vanderbilt, 354 00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:57,359 Max Christi and Shack Harrison as players who are just actually under your control 355 00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,839 to say, okay, we if we want to get their contracts and have 356 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,680 them on the roster next season, they're there. The rest are just free 357 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,079 agents. That includes Austin Reeves. You're not gonna broke her assign and trade 358 00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:10,640 with Austin Reeves nor, Like, that's just so unfeasible now because the way 359 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,279 that that structure would work and the average A rule value rules, you would 360 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,359 need to include Deanzel Russell in assign and trade or I guess you're not gonna 361 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,000 include Ruey So that gets that just gets too difficult. And I don't see 362 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,160 why Washington would be, uh, you know, want have any interest in 363 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,400 Delo. You would be looking at a situation then okay, they want number 364 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,359 seventeen, two twenty nine to make the money work. Can you find another 365 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,839 team that wants the Angel Russell that maybe they're not even sending the wizard something, 366 00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:41,160 but they're you know, the they want Deanzel Russell, but they're still 367 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,079 gonna have to send money back to Washington anyway. If they don't want that 368 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,640 Deanzel Russell money. That's the only way the Lakers can get there. I 369 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,519 don't think it's strong enough. Memphis not a good destination for bial just because 370 00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:53,759 they have Desmond Baine and he can play the three. Dylan Rooks is leaving, 371 00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:57,880 and look if it's Jaron Jackson Junior, Steven Adams, Bradley Bald, 372 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,079 Desmond Baine and Amarant that's a hell of a closing five. And I think 373 00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:07,400 you could scrap together enough defense. But even like the salary match and gets 374 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,200 a little weird because you're not gonna trade Triple J. You're not gonna trade, 375 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,680 as we said, Desmond Baine, so you're looking at like Luke Kennard 376 00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:18,559 and Tias Jones and Steven Adams is just sort of the biggest chip, So 377 00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:22,279 you would need to include at least three players. Probably would the Wizards have 378 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,039 interest in Brandon Clark, which is tours Achilles. You're still gonna need the 379 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:27,359 midimum of three players, maybe even four to include on the top of draft 380 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,000 equity, which you have all your own first including this year's plus Golden's dates 381 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:37,039 twenty twenty four top four protected first Miami I think is interesting. They can 382 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:41,039 trade Let's just assume they're going to avoid the second apron. They can trade 383 00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:44,880 up to four first this summer, they have their twenty three. The twenty 384 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,319 five is okay, see, so they actually cannot trade that, So twenty 385 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:51,759 twenty seven and two twenty nine, so they can trade three first three swaps 386 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:55,319 if they wanted to. They have Tyler Heroes money. They have Duncan Robbinson's 387 00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:57,480 money to get them the rest of the way. They could include Kyle Lowry 388 00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:00,799 in that scenario sin season expire and maybe that interest. You know, Kyle 389 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,839 Lowry and Victor Oladipo's money basically gets you to what you would need for Beal 390 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,960 and then just flesh out picks that way, So you're keeping Hero. I 391 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,480 don't know how much appeal that has to them. Do you want to pay 392 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,480 Tyler hero twenty seven million dollars a year basically for or thirty million dollars a 393 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:18,440 year basically for the next four years something you need to ask yourself. He's 394 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,119 young enough and it's definitely gonna get you buckets. Do you view him as 395 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,640 a viable building block? They have Nikola Yo, which as well. They 396 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:29,240 would be a team though that you can get realistically, you can get Bradley 397 00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:33,119 Beal and keep Jimmy Butler and bam at a bio. I don't know if 398 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,680 you get to keep Kayla mart It's just I'd be curious as to the fringe 399 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,279 assets, but the what the assets are like on the margins, how many 400 00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:41,440 first round picks does it take? I imagine that they don't. The Wizards 401 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,119 don't really care. Maybe they care about getting number eight team this year, 402 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,119 but the Heat they can this is up to I'm not saying you I wouldn't 403 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,960 offer all of this, but Tyler Hero and three first and swats is what 404 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,759 you could go up to. And then there are other Kayla Martin if you 405 00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:57,839 want to talk about him, and then you're gonna have to include other salary. 406 00:24:57,839 --> 00:25:00,400 I don't think it's outside the rom possibility that the Heat would give up 407 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,799 this year's first and another first. And it just depends on whether you view 408 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:10,240 Tyler Hero as a net negative on his current deal, which that's eye of 409 00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:12,319 the beholder stuff. Miami is a team though so far for looking at the 410 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,319 teams that were keep an eye on. I'm keeping an eye on Boston. 411 00:25:15,839 --> 00:25:18,960 I'm keeping an eye on I hate to go completely big marketing. I'm gonna 412 00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:19,880 keep an eye on the Warriors. They probably want to do jack shit. 413 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,920 They're shopping comingo for a pick. So let's just let's bounce the Warriors from 414 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,480 this. I keep an eye on Boston, the Clippers, and the Heat. 415 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:32,039 So far. The Milwaukee Bucks are also kind of linked to Bradley Beale. 416 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:33,880 I'm just gonna lay this out right now, based on how the salaries 417 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,720 work, sign and trade rules. You don't get Bradley Beale without giving up 418 00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:41,240 Drew Holley or Chris Middleton. And that's assuming Middleton either agrees to assign in 419 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,200 trade or just opts in and you can move him. Why is Washington interested 420 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,359 in Middleton? That's another three team scenario. Even with through Holiday, it's 421 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,200 a three team scenario that gets ultracomplicated. And you also have to get into 422 00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:56,319 the question of, well, how much of an upgrade is Bradley Beale offensively 423 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,200 from Middleton or Holiday. I think he's a fairly significant one, but it's 424 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,000 gonna come at a defensive downgrade, especially if it's true Holiday going out, 425 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,039 and I ultimately don't know if that's going to be worth it. If you're 426 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:08,559 really concerning that True Holiday is going to retire in two years at the end 427 00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:11,680 of his contract, he has the forty point two million dollars player option in 428 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,279 twenty twenty four, twenty five. I mean, maybe get into that. 429 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,680 I just the Bucks. They had march on bow Champ and they can trade 430 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,359 one first round pick this summer, and that's like, you know, unless 431 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,799 the Wizards are in love with Pat Conaton or other teams are in love with 432 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,119 him or Grayson Allen or Bobby Portis, that's just kind of the extent of 433 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,000 their their best offer. I don't they definitely need what real Bill brings. 434 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,279 It's just too high end right now. And I think what they really probably 435 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:41,400 need to do is look more towards the wing or combo forward end of the 436 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,559 spectrum. Like the idea of Jake Crowder is really nice, but someone better 437 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:48,759 than Jake Crowder, Boya Bagdovich is like the guy that I would look at 438 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:52,000 for them. The Minnesota Timberwolves know, they just I don't even know. 439 00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:53,720 Yeah, if you throw Jay McDaniels on the table, the Wizards might take 440 00:26:53,759 --> 00:26:57,400 whatever you want in terms of salary matching, but you go talents for Bill 441 00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:02,279 or something you could go to route. I just don't know why. Washington, 442 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,240 Yeah, I get younger, but I don't know why you do that, 443 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,000 So I guess this could be a sleeper team technically, and if you 444 00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:11,480 had Bal Edwards and Gobert, let's just says the baseline. Wow, I'd 445 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,960 probably wouldn't give up Jay McDaniels for Beal at this point. New Orleans Pelicans 446 00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:21,279 they just they have CJ. McCollum and Brandon Ingram and Zion. I think 447 00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:22,880 that they need to diversify their frontline more than anything, and I guess they 448 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,960 could use a point guard. Bill isn't really that if you looked at, 449 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,640 okay, pick equity for CJ. McCollum and salary, just to go from 450 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,039 McCollum to Beal, how much of an upgrade is that. I guess it's 451 00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:37,680 like it's an upgrade, I would argue, but CJ. McComb I think 452 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,039 he might. You could say he's probably the better off ball player at this 453 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:45,319 point, but Bill just hasn't had the same opportunity there. This just feels 454 00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:49,279 like a non starter for me. And perhaps it would change if they did 455 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,160 something that like nuclear that skewed all the way towards defense. And there's the 456 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,960 whole Yeah, even if you traded Zion or brandon Ingram for the number three. 457 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,640 It just wouldn't make sense to go after Bill. The Knicks, another 458 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,160 team I think are going to be linked to Beal because they have those shoot 459 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,880 you first and some intriguing young players, and they definitely need the idea of 460 00:28:07,079 --> 00:28:10,480 Beal's skill set. But it's just like, I won't call him a questionable 461 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,799 shooter. I think he's a better shooter than he's shown. This is not 462 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,680 Josh Hart RJ. Barrett level stuff here. We've seen him be able to 463 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,240 create for himself beyond the three point line, and I think if you put 464 00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:21,599 him in a more streamlined role next to someone like Brunson, we see that 465 00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:26,279 skyrocket. I just wouldn't skew that small. Which is why it's so tough 466 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:30,400 to upgrade the Knicks in a meaningful way. You need whoever you're acquiring to 467 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,960 crack your closing lineup, which Bill would do, but it Prefaby also needs 468 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,759 to come on like out of the three or five spot. I guess if 469 00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,640 you're factoring Julius Randall in to hear, because let's say you're not as married 470 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,119 to RJ. Barrett or Mitchell Robinson, Bill doesn't really give you that even 471 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,160 if you wanted to run smaller and consider him a three. You can, 472 00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:53,359 I guess, really evaluate the idea of Beal in New York if they're getting 473 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,839 rid of Julius Randall's part of the process, because then it's all right, 474 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,359 we have Jalen Brunson and Bradley Beal and will flesh out from there. But 475 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:03,279 and this is a perfect example for a team. If you're going to give 476 00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:07,920 thirty five percent of the cap to Bradley Beal, you also can't have him 477 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:14,839 be your best player. It sounds weird because of how intrinsically limiting the new 478 00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:18,480 CBA is on teams that are going to spend to the moon. But like, 479 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:22,559 if you're going to commit to you know, looking at Bradley Beal's salary 480 00:29:22,599 --> 00:29:25,200 for next season on top of Jalon Brunson's, like, your two best players 481 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,000 are going to cost you seventy million dollars. Not the end of the world 482 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,960 in the grand scheme of things, but you want one of those players to 483 00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:33,400 be better than Bradley Beal. And I think one of the forms of reckoning 484 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,839 that we will see as part of the new CBA is And look, there 485 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,079 was also the player awards that were establish where we need the minimum games played 486 00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:45,640 to hit all MBA, there's probably gonna be some more wonkier all NBA results, 487 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,039 I would imagine, and that makes it less likely if someone happens to 488 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:55,559 qualify for supermaxes. I think the standard for these supermaxes are going to increase 489 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,279 that it's going to be harder to get. Whereas Bradley Beal, let's say 490 00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:00,759 the twenty fifth thirties best player in the NB. He's not going to get 491 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:04,079 that, and you're also not going to get it as later in your career, 492 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,480 and we're not this is not the supermax. But looking at James Harden 493 00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:11,839 as an example, where he might have been a no brainer Max going into 494 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,319 is going to turn thirty three, thirty four holds. I've been in saying 495 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:18,359 James Harden the age for like weeks now I keep forgetting it. He's going 496 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,279 to turn thirty four in August, whereas he might have been previously. Just 497 00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:23,519 as no, he wasn't a no brainer Max to begin with, but it 498 00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:26,079 would have been easier to give him the max and just work around it. 499 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:32,319 You're going to see players not yet that full boat as late into their career. 500 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,079 There'll be certain ones where it's just yeah, you know Lebron with gimm 501 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,640 whatever. But the James Harden I think is a perfect eample where I'd be 502 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,799 pretty surprised if he got the MAX this year. And so the standard for 503 00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:44,160 giving out the MAX is going to increase when you look at their age and 504 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,920 then also the quality of player that they are, and those two things are 505 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,640 often related. But even Bradley Bield's peak was never the tenth best player in 506 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,000 the NBA. And so if you're the Knicks, to make him your acquisition, 507 00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:56,680 unless you're again, if it's Randall and I don't even know, if 508 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,839 it's Randall and one young player and one pick, yeah, maybe, or 509 00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:04,440 if it's just Randall and salary filler and two picks, yeah, then you 510 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,039 look at it. But I just don't bring Bradley Beal into an ecosystem that 511 00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:14,279 has Randall and Brunson and Barrett. I just and then Josh Hart will come 512 00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:18,880 back. It just feels awkward because he's not a caps lock shooter. I 513 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,759 don't think he's a facing liability, But to bring someone like him in, 514 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,680 I would almost argue that Zach Levine's a better fit for the Knicks then Bradley 515 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,680 Beale is, and I actually would just argue that he's a better fit. 516 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,519 People feel bad about his contract. I really don't. I would actually trade 517 00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:33,839 for zach Lavine if the costs were the same. If it's just hey, 518 00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:38,960 salary filler and two like we're going out as far as twenty twenty five and 519 00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:44,079 it's not unprotected or something, yeah, I'm doing it without without question. 520 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,359 That's for the Knicks, though specifically, I think unless the cost is just 521 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,960 so low that you might as well roll the dice, it needs to be 522 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,960 a situation where hey, Julius Randall's leaving as part of the process, because 523 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,480 then you're still gonna have to play smaller. But if it's let's say you're 524 00:31:56,519 --> 00:32:00,519 left with Beal, Heart and Brunson as you're one, two, three, 525 00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:04,440 and then maybe Barrett's still your four if he's around after the trade, that's 526 00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:07,759 that's just more appealing to me. I just don't think that you can go 527 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,680 Brunts and Randall and Beal. That's just too many. The overlap that you're 528 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,880 experiencing with RJ. Barrett, they aren't even Josh Hardlett like the spacing overlap. 529 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:20,960 You won't experience it as gravely with Beal, But he is someone who 530 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,279 should have the ball more than even an RJ. Barrett does. And so 531 00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:27,160 that just puts a lot of strain on Julius Randall and Jalen Brunson. And 532 00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:30,799 again if RJ. Barrett is still there is part of the deal to change 533 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:34,359 the way they operate the Thunder. Look, I'm gonna be honest, I 534 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,519 want the Thunder to do it. I just Josh Giddy, Bradley Beal, 535 00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:40,720 Sha Guilers, Alexander chet Home, Grin, Jalen Williams, Like, you're 536 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,759 not trading any of those dudes to get Bradley Beale. Look you have you're 537 00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:46,880 gonna be able to get to if you want thirty two million dollars in cap 538 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,559 space and so if you still need to find money to ship out for Beal, 539 00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:53,720 so that's at forty six and so you need another let's just say like 540 00:32:53,759 --> 00:32:58,319 fifteen to eighteen million. You have to make some tough decisions. It's okay, 541 00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:02,240 do we include Josh or you know, do we include Blue Dort and 542 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,799 then we're still you could fill it out easily from there as Lue Dort. 543 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,200 That work's getting up, Bradley Beal. I'm just going to say they won't 544 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,599 do it. They probably shouldn't do it. I would, but I would 545 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:16,680 also pay gobs and gobs of money to watch Sga chet Home Grin Jalen Williams 546 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,960 play with Beel. Sga Chet Homegrin, Jalen Williams and Beal. That's a 547 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,680 hell of just a chord. Maybe Josh Giddy's still left over. If you're 548 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,359 trading Dort, how many picks are you including? Though, like you could 549 00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:31,079 certainly get there. There's just so many different packages they could build in the 550 00:33:31,079 --> 00:33:34,799 extra flexibility, but they won't do it. And I understand why they want 551 00:33:34,839 --> 00:33:37,359 four years and two hundred plus millions a lot rounding into his age thirty season, 552 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920 and you do have to start to their credit. You've paid Shay, 553 00:33:40,359 --> 00:33:44,039 They're not going to get ultra expensive for quite some time. But Giddy is 554 00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:47,079 extension knowledgeable. After this year, Jalen Williams won't be far behind Chet Homegrin 555 00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:50,359 will be there before you know what. These things kind of sneak up on 556 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,759 you. And so if they're like one year less on Beel's deal, and 557 00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:57,160 I'm again I'm not even assuming that he would he First of all, he'd 558 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,640 be foolish not to approve a trade. Okay, see if he actually wants 559 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,880 to win, but I respect that he might want to live in a certain 560 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,599 market. So we're not even considering whether Beal would say yes to these teams. 561 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,280 I think he'd say yes to Boston, probably Brooklyn, but what do 562 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,239 you say yes to Dallas? They're not gonna get involved in them. He'd 563 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:15,199 probably say yes to the Warriors, the Clippers, the Lakers, Mendis, 564 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,760 I feel like he should Miami for sure, Milwaukee I think he would, 565 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,039 Minnesota, New Orleans, I just don't think they're gonna be involved. And 566 00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:23,000 then the Knicks, I think he probably say yes to them. If the 567 00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:25,840 thunder really just decided to get involved, I would hope he would say yes 568 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,679 to them, because again, I don't think they need to trade. They're 569 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:35,559 not gonna need to trade chet Home Grin Jalen Williams SGA or who's the one 570 00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:39,920 I'm forgetting chet home grin Jalen Williams SGA, Who's why am I? Why 571 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,360 am I blanking here? I don't think you would necessarily need to trade get 572 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,519 You probably need to trade dort and so like that might be a conversation on 573 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:50,000 its own, but like that's a hell of a corps. There the magic. 574 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,960 You could make a case that, hey, look at these non guaranteed 575 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,239 salaries that they have, just guarantee them ship out some expiring Gary Harris, 576 00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,880 Jonathan Isaac, get to the money. You're gonna have cap space. You 577 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,559 have the number eleven, pick you don't need to keep. You keep the 578 00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:07,480 number six. You're not giving that up for peel some future first including another 579 00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:12,000 one coming down the pipeline from Denver in twenty twenty five. You could just 580 00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:15,320 build kind of an innocuous package. Maybe you're okay with giving up jail and 581 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,000 Suggs and the deal who I still very much believe in. You could make 582 00:35:17,039 --> 00:35:21,199 a case they're just they're not gonna do it. They'll make if they make 583 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,719 a major move. I think it'll be on a more minor scale. I 584 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,360 think you could make the case for them to do it, and they could 585 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:32,480 do it without trading Palo trading Franz Wagner trading number six. And I would 586 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,960 like you could. I would think you could. Maybe the Wizards want false 587 00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:37,679 is that a deal breaker for you? But you might not even need to 588 00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:42,440 trade. Wendell Carter Jr. It's just you can build your package strictly around 589 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,840 let's just say, salary filler, maybe some col anthony if they if they 590 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,440 want him, they want, you know, take a flyer on Chuma or 591 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,360 they like, But you could just do picks and salary and have the crux 592 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,440 of your roster still in place without giving up number six. That's appealing to 593 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,400 me. I'm not gonna lie, so would rather be able to approve of 594 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,159 it. I would hope so the magic of promising, but the magic aren't 595 00:36:02,159 --> 00:36:06,880 going to do it. The Sixers reportedly not interested. Per Kyle Nubeck of 596 00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:10,360 Philly Voyce, I totally understand why you're expecting James Harden to come back, 597 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,119 and I would be intrigued by a core of him. Maxie beal and and 598 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,480 be like, what is the how often those who are played together? And 599 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,840 look is it Tobias Harris and to pick what is that? What is that? 600 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,079 What is that getting you? I just, honestly, what is what 601 00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:29,079 is that getting you? I know? I just that would be bottom of 602 00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:32,800 the barrel type of offer there. So I just they're not interested, and 603 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,760 they wouldn't even they're less likely to revisit it. I guess if Harden Leaves 604 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,079 and even I just I wouldn't trade Maxie for Beal. I just I'm too 605 00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:45,679 high on Tyres Maxie, and that feels just like, Okay, Beals so 606 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,840 much older and he's so expensive. That's yes, he's clearly the better player, 607 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,280 but I don't know that him Harden and ebid. You only want to 608 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,400 make that deal in fury if Harden and beat are still there to maximize that, 609 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,440 and then you're very much just saying, Okay, this is it, 610 00:36:59,559 --> 00:37:00,800 and then this timeline is gonna blow up after this year if we don't win 611 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,440 it all or make the finals or something. The Sun's Durant Booker and Bill 612 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,679 would be very interesting. They have no way of acquiring Bradley Beale. It's 613 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:12,920 the Wizards would have to be love with DeAndre Aton and not getting any picks 614 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,599 back the Blazers. Again, I don't think Damian Miller and Bradley Beale is 615 00:37:17,639 --> 00:37:22,239 just could we stop with Bradley Bal's at least a properly sized two guard or 616 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,639 even I don't know they list him at they still list him at six five, 617 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,519 or they bump him down to six four. Let's check here, he's 618 00:37:29,519 --> 00:37:31,239 still he's at six four so yeah, we're done with the two you know, 619 00:37:32,039 --> 00:37:37,599 not very tall guard ship in Portland. We've just we've seen too much 620 00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:39,639 of it already. They shouldn't go after it. They're not going to give 621 00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:43,440 the number three pick to do it. I don't think. Maybe he's worth 622 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,639 the number three pick to certain teams, but the teams that he's to which 623 00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:51,400 he's worth the number three pick, are never gonna have the number three pick. 624 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,679 So this is just not the player. I think it needs to be 625 00:37:52,679 --> 00:38:00,159 more of a wing, combo forward big that the Blazers Pascal Siakam brandon Ingram 626 00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:02,320 even and if like if it was, you're gonna skew offense. Even a 627 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:07,280 Zion Williamson is gonna make more sense there. McHale Bridges, I just can't 628 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,000 see it, Sacramento, think about that offense. I just throw Kegan Murray 629 00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:15,320 on the table some future first or just all future first in salary. I 630 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,800 guess maybe, But sa bonus Fox and Bill that doesn't do it for me. 631 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,440 They very much need a wing. They need a wing, and on 632 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,679 a lower level, they need some backup like frontline depth, and they might 633 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,239 at this point they might even just needn like a different type of four you 634 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,119 do Keegan Murray there, but if Barnes is gonna leave, you're gonna have 635 00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:31,039 to change up your rotation. It gets a little shallower on the front line. 636 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:36,599 The Spurs, what's the what's the what's the going rate for Bradley Beale? 637 00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:39,840 Could they just take him into basically cap space and give up DeVante Graham? 638 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,719 Is that of interest? They're not doing it. But if look, 639 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,280 if you're looking a really streamlined the development of Victor Weben Yama and Bradley Beale 640 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,840 says, hey, like, yeah, I want to play for Pop. 641 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,880 Who's rumored designed gonna sign like a three year extension or something like that. 642 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,159 This poor guy, by the way, if he signs a three year extension, 643 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,199 he probably just really wants to retire. And the Spurs went out and 644 00:38:58,199 --> 00:39:00,760 got Wemby and it's like, I can't really but yeah, the Spurs, 645 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,639 No, they're not let's not even waste certain they don't make trades like this 646 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,000 generally. Maybe they get involved as a third party facilitated for another team. 647 00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:12,960 Beal in Toronto, everyone's gonna say they don't want the contract. I be 648 00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:15,440 in Toronto. If he would go, I like it. I don't know 649 00:39:15,519 --> 00:39:19,920 what, You've already traded your twenty twenty four first, so you can't convey 650 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,519 at first you have this year's first at thirteen, and then you could trade 651 00:39:22,559 --> 00:39:27,159 twenty six, twenty eight, and technically twenty thirty if you don't think you're 652 00:39:27,159 --> 00:39:29,519 gonna be a separate if you're not a second Apron team this year, which 653 00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:31,840 I don't think they would be. I just what's the salary, meat and 654 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:37,000 potatoes of this deal? Because Van Fleet is a free agent already. Gary 655 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,079 Trent Junior is probably gonna become a free agent if he opts into eighteen point 656 00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:42,400 eight. That helps you get there. So you're gonna need to give up 657 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,039 o Gianna, Nobi and more salary to pair a Beal with Siakam and then 658 00:39:46,119 --> 00:39:51,599 what is what is the endgame here? Beal, Siakam Barnes super intriguing. 659 00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:53,880 But are you bringing Fred van Vleet back? Are you looking at signing trades 660 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:59,239 for Fred van Fleet to the van Vleet to the Wizards, which I guess 661 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,639 would help with some of the salary matching. It's just tough for me to 662 00:40:01,679 --> 00:40:05,880 finagle what the package would look like here because you're not going to trade Scotty 663 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,639 Barnes and so it's very much O g N and OBI and Picks plus other 664 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:14,039 salary. And so you could do it. You have Chris Bouche, you 665 00:40:14,119 --> 00:40:15,440 have I don't think they've Wagh. Daddy is young yet, so you could 666 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,199 use that contract to your advantage. You have Otto Porter junior A now an 667 00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:22,280 expiring deal, precious Atcha. You could get there. I just don't know, 668 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,599 you know, if you're giving up ogn and OB he was about to 669 00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:30,079 command a new contract. Is this another three team four team scenario where you're 670 00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:35,920 sending Og to Portland or I don't really like him in Memphis or Brooklyn or 671 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,679 just the or the Knicks just somewhere, the Kings, the Warriors and they're 672 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,280 sending stuff to Washington. How much does it take on top of Ananobe, 673 00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:49,400 I wouldn't be against it, especially if van Vleet is leaving. I'd probably 674 00:40:49,519 --> 00:40:51,920 like those two together, even though they're on the smaller end, just because 675 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,159 of what Van Vleet does defensively, and if you're willing to foot the bill, 676 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,519 so and if Trent's like, if Trent's leaving and you're gonna bring Van 677 00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:02,039 Vleet back and peartle back and Siakam and you have Bal. I would love 678 00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:06,000 to know what your salaries, Like, just Siakam and Bial next season together 679 00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:10,039 are gonna be making like ninety eighty plus million dollars excuse me, closing in 680 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,599 like between eighty and eighty five million. That's a lot. And then if 681 00:41:14,599 --> 00:41:16,920 you add van Fleet's next contract to that, Okay, it gets weird. 682 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,719 I wouldn't if you would go to Toronto, I would just investigate it. 683 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,960 I would if if I were the Raptors, depending on how much does it 684 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,440 costs on top of an anobie, I think the salary to get there, 685 00:41:25,519 --> 00:41:30,599 you probably just wouldn't mind so annobe other salary. How many picks does it 686 00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:36,039 take to get there? Utah No, I mean they could just take Bal 687 00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:42,760 into cap space, which is interesting and Kessler marking in bl I'm like, 688 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,599 I get do you get away with keeping off you us have so many future 689 00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:47,679 first and so you add number nine in this year's draft. I guess you 690 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,239 don't give that up for beal if it's just picks and it's causing your cap 691 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,199 space and it's just like one like why not, like unless you really want 692 00:41:55,199 --> 00:41:58,440 to rebuild and kind of juice up the value of your own pick. But 693 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,559 you have all these other first round pick. I mean, if you look 694 00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:07,360 at just Utah's stash of picks is just mind like they're reaching in terms of 695 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,239 future first just OKAYC level circa a few years ago, and now OKAYC is 696 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,559 starting to kick those down the road. So they have three firsts in this 697 00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:19,400 year's draft. I believe I should double check that they have. Yeah, 698 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,360 they have number nine and number twenty eight and number sixteen, So they have 699 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,199 three first in this year's draft. They're a little bit light when it comes 700 00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:29,760 to two thousand and twenty four. They only have their own, but they 701 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:34,280 can and that's OKAYC. But with top ten protection. If you yet bal 702 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,639 it's probably gone. That's interesting and actually so yeah, And then in two 703 00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:44,000 thousand and twenty five, I mean, I haven't actually written down here, 704 00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:49,480 so you're you're looking at the jazz Is bounty of picks. In two thousand 705 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,519 and twenty five is when it really starts to get interesting. They have their 706 00:42:52,559 --> 00:42:57,280 own Cleveland's unprotected, Minnesota's unprotected. In two thousand and twenty six. They 707 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,079 have their own swap rights with Cleveland or Minnesota. In twenty twenty seven, 708 00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:05,920 they have their own Cleveland's unprotected, LA's the Lakers top four protection and Minnesota's 709 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,119 unprotected. In twenty twenty eight they have their own, and then swap rights 710 00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:12,760 with Cleveland, and then in twenty twenty nine they have their own Cleveland's unprotected 711 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,840 pick and Minnesota's at top five protection. I mean, holy shit, like 712 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,960 you if it was you didn't have to send out any bodies at this point, 713 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,760 It's okay, we'll take Bradley Beal in a cap space. Maybe you 714 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,280 have to send out some bodies if you want to bring back Kelly Olnick and 715 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:30,519 carry Jordan Clarkson's hold, but you get a bonus if talent Horton Tucker opts 716 00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:32,039 out. I didn't think he would. John Hollinger of the Athletics that he 717 00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:35,880 might, though, And so if that happens, if it was just cap 718 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,280 space and just like, hey, we're gonna throw you one of these imminent 719 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,800 picks too, it's not even distant. I just if you really want to 720 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,280 rebuild, I get why you want it. And Bradleybal's obviously not going to 721 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,280 wash Itton. So this was a way longer than I intended it to be. 722 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,960 Bradleybeal Trade destinations. I hope you very much enjoyed it.
