The Brooklyn Nets are 5 00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:21,359 next up onto the table, and before we get started, 6 00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:25,399 I have to ask, Sir Hughes, how are you doing. 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,839 Speaker 2: Just trying to process the Yiannis to Brooklyn for MPJ 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,240 and and Cam Thomas And I should have thought about 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,799 the math of my made up trade before I started 10 00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:36,359 talking about it. 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna stick. You're gonna stick the landing on one 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,880 of these because we've got a few left, and I'm 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,799 confident that you'll get to wear And then it's just 14 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,039 like I'll trick you like you'll believe it. I mean, 15 00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:50,079 I'm pretty gullible, so sure, but you'll deadpan it. You 16 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:54,039 won't like undermine your own fake news, and you'll let 17 00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:56,159 it sit and marinate. And there will be people I 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,880 have faith that are they're gonna check their phones because 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,399 we're gonna leave get air like ten what so right, that's. 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: The thing to sell it properly, you need to, yes, 21 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,159 and it, and we need to go like five full 22 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:11,439 minutes into the pod so people will freak out and 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,359 not realize I've undermined it and then and then go change, 24 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,760 you know, check their phones and stuff. 25 00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:19,359 Speaker 3: I mean, we can. I'm willing to commit to that 26 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:19,920 if you are. 27 00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm willing to commit to that as well. So, but 28 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,920 it needs to leave. I'm I also want to be 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,599 taken it back by the scenario that you that you lay. 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: Out, Okay, well I might have you think about it 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,799 for more than five seconds going forward. 32 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:37,799 Speaker 1: Now, speaking of kooky scenarios, the Brooklyn Nets have fifteen 33 00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:40,120 point three million dollars in cap space as we moved 34 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,120 on to their trade deadline. Bottles the only team with 35 00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:46,439 that much cap space. So fifteen point three million in 36 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:48,239 cap space, they can do a bunch of stuff. But 37 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,599 notably they are They have about fifty million in cap 38 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,840 space this coming summer. They owe now getting to their 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,079 picks and their assets. They owe their twenty twenty seven 40 00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:02,040 pick to Houston via swap rights, but they also own grant. 41 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,719 I did not know if you know this, but the 42 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,799 New York Knicks first in twenty seven, twenty nine and 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,879 thirty one plus the right to swap with New York 44 00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:14,199 in twenty twenty eight. They have Philadelphia's twenty twenty eight 45 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,759 first round pick that is top eight protected, and they 46 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,960 have the Nuggets's unprotected twenty thirty two pick. I'm trying 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,960 to think, is they're, ah, that's the only twenty thirty 48 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,080 two pick that's owed anywhere at the moment, right. 49 00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: I think that's right. 50 00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:30,199 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say, what's the juiciest twenty thirty two pick. 51 00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:34,280 It's the Nuggets Yokic getting older, but it's the only team. Yeah, 52 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,479 unless I'm misremembering anybody. So those are those are some assets. 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,719 And so I kind of wanted to start here with 54 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,360 the Nets if if you would indulge me, does their 55 00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:49,120 pick situation next season for you or do you believe 56 00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:51,360 it will impact how they go because everyone's saying they 57 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,599 can take on bad money and this rebuild continues, or 58 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,680 is it no, they might want to maybe they don't 59 00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,639 trade Michael Borter junior, Nick Claxton because they're looking to 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,039 get better because they don't have their own first round 61 00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:02,639 pick next year. 62 00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: I think there's some element of, well, a couple things 63 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,639 like you can't tank forever, you can't just avoid really 64 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,159 taking a swing forever, and or you can't just be 65 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,520 accumulating assets while taking on unwanted contracts forever. So that 66 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,240 just not having control of your pick at least like 67 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,639 removes one of the incentives to keep going with. 68 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: That like course of action. Should it like I don't. 69 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,599 Speaker 2: But that's different though than saying don't you think, like, well, 70 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,759 then they gotta just who like they gotta just try 71 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,520 to be in the top six in the East next year. 72 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,479 They got to make some like wild ass moves and 73 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,280 maybe move some of those picks and try to bring 74 00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:45,199 in some It's not that, like, I don't think you 75 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,759 abandon the whole like sensible, sane roster building process, but 76 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,439 it does, Like I think, the only thing I'm certain 77 00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,840 of is that it will make our preseason conversation about 78 00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:01,879 Brooklyn a lot different next year than it's been, because, like, 79 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,560 we can't be picking win totals in the teams if 80 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,879 you don't have your own pick, especially when you've kind 81 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:08,719 of been building up a little bit over the last 82 00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:11,560 couple of years, like that, that'll be different. Do you 83 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,439 think it's gonna change what they do with the deadline. 84 00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: I don't. I think that's like kind too far out, and. 85 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,639 Speaker 1: They look at it as I'm sure they will, just 86 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,360 based on what Sean Marks did following the Paul Pierce, 87 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:28,199 Kevin Garant Garnett trade debacle. This is so much they're 88 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:29,800 gonna look at it as a one year break in 89 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,959 their Sunshine tanking and they'll they'll continue to operate as such. 90 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,680 So I don't think it changes it materially at all. 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,600 I don't think they're gonna go into next season thinking 92 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,879 we need to use this cap space on players who 93 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,439 help us contend for a play and spot or something. 94 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,399 Speaker 2: Now, some I've seen it written and said and heard 95 00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:51,639 it said that because they don't control their pick next year, 96 00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,199 well like they just keep Michael Porter Junior around because 97 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:56,040 he helps you win Like that. I mean, some people 98 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,160 would say, like that's one way that controlling your own 99 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:00,920 pick might affect their They're thinking, I don't. 100 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:02,959 Speaker 3: I don't agree with that, but right you hear that. 101 00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:05,319 Speaker 1: I think what it allows you to do is be 102 00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:09,600 a little bit more demanding and your asking price, because 103 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,800 if you look at any of the players, they there's 104 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,759 really only two names that teams are gonna be hot 105 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,160 after maybe three day, Ron Sharp hot after on this team, 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,839 who is getting materially less if you keep them through 107 00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:23,879 this season and move them over the summer. 108 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean nobody. I mean. 109 00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: At some point, or he's an expiring contract, so you 110 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,279 want him, like next season he's an expiring contracts so 111 00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:37,160 you want him for the two playoff runs. But so 112 00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:39,639 that leads into we need to set the asking price 113 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,439 for these guys. But before we do that, grant, will 114 00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:44,079 they move on from cam Thomas or will they at 115 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,920 least maybe shut him down because he's not a fun 116 00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:50,839 watch on this team. I don't. I don't like it, 117 00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:52,279 Like I don't. 118 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: Will they? Will they play him forty minutes? Is maybe 119 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,560 the other question? 120 00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: Like what let him juice his numbers first, do him 121 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,879 a solid, let him chuse his numbers for free agency. 122 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: He'll help you lose? 123 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,519 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, No, is there a team he would not 124 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,319 accept a trade to because he has to he has 125 00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:09,120 veto power? 126 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: Oh wow? 127 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,079 Speaker 1: Uh? 128 00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 3: Probably, but like. 129 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,319 Speaker 2: It would only be because he's like I have an 130 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,800 uncle that I hate in New Orleans and I don't 131 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,480 want to be around him, or something like because he's 132 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,639 gonna play more and it'll they'll be more appreciated. 133 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 3: Literally, anywhere, I think. 134 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: Right, because you can't even look at it and say, 135 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,680 maybe the Nets will give him more money, so they 136 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,480 have this placeholder contract because they didn't first of all, 137 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,160 they didn't do that this. 138 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,759 Speaker 2: Year they will, They're not, they have no interest, right, 139 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,160 They're not gonna keep him. 140 00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:40,639 Speaker 3: There's no chance, I don't think. 141 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: So do you think he's on the team after the deadline? 142 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:47,319 Speaker 3: I mean, oh, deadline hose next year?

I don't 185 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,559 want to see it anymore. 186 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: Uh. 187 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: And that might be if they're playing him minutes after 188 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,080 the tradeadline and he's on the team. I try to 189 00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:06,399 your priority shift. I think post All Star break as 190 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,559 to what teams you really need to be locking in on. 191 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,840 But I do try to like still lock in on 192 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,879 like the bad teams, especially if they have young like 193 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,960 I love Yegor Joeman so especially like and a player 194 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,200 where I think, wow, I might have just freaking missed 195 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,320 on him and Danny wolf I camp Thomas might be 196 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,759 the breaking one of the next Like I'm drawing a 197 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,519 line in the cement and camp Thomas is it. He 198 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:30,440 needs to be gone or not. 199 00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: Playing, or you're out, or you just they can kiss 200 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:34,759 your eyes goodbye. 201 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,639 Speaker 1: I'll be watching film of all the possessions when camp 202 00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:39,320 Thomas is not on the floor, and that's how I 203 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,320 will consume Brooklyn Nets basketball. If here's a player that 204 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,799 has more of a market, you're the Nets. What is 205 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,440 it taking you what's the minimum you need to we've 206 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,039 graduated from Throw a first round pick their way and 207 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:55,399 they'll do it right. Like, that's just. 208 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: My My very first thought was, I think it's gonna 209 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,399 take at least two now, two firsts. I think because 210 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,879 there's only that one more year on his deal. It 211 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,200 also probably isn't not that that's the thing I was 212 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,399 gonna say. It probably isn't terrible money. But like that, 213 00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:16,840 who is who even is that? Like I get I 214 00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:20,559 keep thinking, like Jeremy Grant or whatever is like the oh, 215 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,919 that's a bad contract because like the EMBIID class of 216 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,960 bad contract is just like a separate thing. 217 00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: So it's two firsts. 218 00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: I think maybe depending on the kind of money you're 219 00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:35,159 sending back, it's three. But I also think most teams 220 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,480 are not willing to give up three firsts for one 221 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,600 year and forty million bucks of Michael Porter Junior. Does 222 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:42,519 that sound about right? 223 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,759 Speaker 1: Yeah? It's also he's been pretty durable over the past 224 00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:48,360 few years. Oh, you can look at that as a 225 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:51,559 ticking time bomb. But if you're a team like I 226 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,440 don't know, Detroit is my favorite Michael Porter Junior A nation, Yeah, nation. 227 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,480 I think trying to think of what other team can 228 00:10:57,519 --> 00:10:59,639 maybe talk themselves, because you know one of those picks 229 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,720 will be lower end at least. I'm trying to think 230 00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:05,440 of what the other team would be. You know, you're 231 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,039 kind of getting this. 232 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,519 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I just you just look at 233 00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:12,799 who needs shooting and who has a good enough defensive 234 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,320 infrastructure to to just I mean, he's not like this 235 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:18,840 poisonous defender. But obviously it's like you're a team that 236 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,440 has real deficiency's like just looking down that the best 237 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,879 defenses in the league, Houston probably not that Kevin Durantz 238 00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:30,480 got that spot, san Antonio, I don't know. I mean, 239 00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:35,639 he's if it was Fred Van Fleets willing to accept 240 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:37,240 the trade, and that's how you're getting to the most 241 00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:40,919 So you have Van Vliet, and at that point I 242 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,840 would have him in Houston. I mean they do need, 243 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,240 think they said, I don't think as much growth or 244 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,559 like maybe hidden ability as Porter Junior has shown as 245 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,480 like a self sufficient scorer in Brooklyn. 246 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 3: He's not. 247 00:11:55,159 --> 00:11:59,399 Speaker 2: He's he's not like exactly what Houston would need. I 248 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,639 would say offensively because because also then you're kind of 249 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,360 marginalizing Jabari Smith Junior. I mean you're not taking mems 250 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,440 from Durant, but even Thompson probably get like, I don't know, 251 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,799 there's a eason you're probably eating into some Now some 252 00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:19,799 of those guys may go back and hypothetical what about that? 253 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,639 Speaker 1: So the Warriors would have been interesting before the Butler injury, 254 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:24,440 and now it's just I don't know if they can 255 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,200 talk to him. I mean, would you as the Warriors 256 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,320 right now, Salary, so it's kaminga whatever to get there, 257 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,360 and then it's pods in a first. Is that something 258 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,440 you're still considering or no, I mean. 259 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,759 Speaker 3: I would consider it. 260 00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: It's like maybe if it's because I think Kaminga and 261 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,440 Moody gets you pretty close. Honestly, just throw pods in 262 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,200 there so we can kill the two timelines era. I 263 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,639 mean Porter Junior is again he sort of like in Houston. 264 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,440 He's not like the kind of defense Uh, I don't know, 265 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,080 compromiser with the ball that maybe the Warriors need, but 266 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:04,080 as just another guy that cannot be unattended to. 267 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,919 Speaker 3: Ever, there's there'd be value there you could throw. 268 00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:11,279 Speaker 2: I mean, like does he make this isn't gonna happen, 269 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,679 but like if you put him into Julius Randall's spot 270 00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:17,279 does that change anything in Minnesota if you put it, 271 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,519 he has, and probably his playmaking matters, because we've spent 272 00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:25,200 plenty of time talking about the Wolves needs some of that, 273 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:29,679 like Toronto because they've got solid defense and they have 274 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,519 stretch issues in the front court. 275 00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: What about upgrading from the Harrison Barnes spot in San Antonio. 276 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:41,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's one too, And the defense is good 277 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,240 enough there to to definitely accommodate him, especially if, like 278 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,279 you know, you'd hope that one or both of Castle 279 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,159 and Harper will figure it out shooting wise. But if 280 00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:52,080 you're gonna play a couple of guards like a lot 281 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,960 that do everything well except shoot, you're probably gonna want 282 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,720 to get a guy in there that's, you know, a 283 00:13:57,799 --> 00:14:00,399 really reliable, high volume guy from three. 284 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,919 Speaker 1: I loved him in New Orleans before it was clear 285 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,159 that Michael porter Tum is going to require multiple first 286 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,879 round picks to acquire. They just I want so much 287 00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:10,080 shooting on that team. Him and Trey Murphy would be 288 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:12,039 a five alarm fire. 289 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 2: And Zion on the team in that hypothetical, because if 290 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,799 it because it's like Queen is your center and then 291 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:21,159 MPJ your god, your defense sucks so whatever, it doesn't 292 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:21,879 matter what you do. 293 00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: Jordan Poole's on your team, so defense isn't going to 294 00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:27,919 be any great shakes either. But I think it's it 295 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,159 needs to be the equivalent for me of two first 296 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,159 round picks to get. Maybe it's a prospect that you 297 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,840 really like, but that's what it's taking to move MPJ. 298 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,240 What about Nicholas Claxton. 299 00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:41,279 Speaker 2: That's an interesting one. He's kind of in the him 300 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,720 and Gafford, and there's a third guy who's I can't 301 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,000 remember now are like all of the bigs that are 302 00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:52,559 like reasonably available. He's really interesting because of the the facilitation. 303 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:55,039 It feels like everybody that's gone to Brooklyn has figured 304 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,200 out how to be like more of a I don't know, folkrum. 305 00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:01,799 He's just passed the ball better this year. That feels 306 00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:04,559 like kind of a new dimension. So it's not just well, 307 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,360 he can switch and he'll block a shot, and he's, 308 00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:12,720 you know, a good, solid enough defensive piece. If I'm 309 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:15,399 looking at a center, though, I think I probably still 310 00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:21,360 prefer Gafford just because he's cheaper and he's like a 311 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,039 just a just the lob threat. Like the best version 312 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,440 of Gafford is, like I understand how to integrate that 313 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,480 into a really good team. Now, Cloxson was pretty good 314 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,159 on some of those KD nets teams too, But. 315 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,279 Speaker 1: I just for two years and forty four million about 316 00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:37,440 and it's declining after this season. I think it's at 317 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,000 least I think it's one first I don't think it's two. 318 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,519 I think it's one first round pick and a young 319 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,759 player you talk yourself into, oh he'll play, it's not 320 00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:47,720 you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm trying to think 321 00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:50,440 of what would be a good example of a maybe 322 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,919 at Jade and Ivy level of intrigue, the Piston should 323 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,600 not although could you mind the picture? Just go out 324 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,200 and sure that we have clacked it in Stewart and 325 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,600 Durren and we're just gonna more big. Yeah, So I 326 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:03,320 think that would be it for me. What do you Darren? 327 00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:06,519 Sharp's the other name. That's a minimum of two seconds 328 00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:08,039 at this point, and from the next perspective, I don't 329 00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:09,960 even know if it's worth it. The team option is 330 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,480 so cheap. It's just if it's part of I think 331 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,440 he's getting moved as part of a larger deal where 332 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,039 it's maybe with MPG or something, and you're increasing the 333 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,000 value of your return. 334 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think right, because if it's just a 335 00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:23,240 couple of seconds, why wouldn't you just rather have sharp 336 00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:27,240 and the you know, the the I'm sure you probably 337 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,440 should just pick that team option up. But like the 338 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,759 flexibility to affords is not nothing. Is there anybody else 339 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,480 that you know might draw some interest? I mean, hey, 340 00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:42,919 what Highsmith is there? If he's healthy, would be healthy, 341 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,879 which maybe the whole reason he's there in the first 342 00:16:44,919 --> 00:16:47,679 place for what seemed like such a low return is that. 343 00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: He was just never going to be healthy. 344 00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: Zion Williams has had some moments. So if you just 345 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,759 want a wing that you think could play eat up 346 00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:58,679 some minutes at least during the regular season, maybe him. 347 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: Terrence Man makes too much and goes out too far. 348 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,559 He's got two more years after. 349 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:06,559 Speaker 1: This still just doesn't fucking shoot enough threes. My god. 350 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 3: Yeah. 351 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. Other than that, like they're not trading Clowny because 352 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,880 he's cheap and interesting. Everybody else is a rookie, it 353 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,960 feels like, so yeah, it's it's pretty slim pickings beyond 354 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,000 Porter Junior in Claxton. 355 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: If you they should not necessarily be in the business 356 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,200 of trading for need sort of like we say, drafting 357 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,799 for need, it's like you shouldn't be in the business 358 00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:30,880 trading for need. But if you look at this roster, 359 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,119 aside from saying the fundamental cornerstone of the future, is 360 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,400 there something that sticks out that you would like to 361 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,640 see them maybe prioritize. 362 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 2: Well, I think you've got to at least you can 363 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,119 do process of elimination and say we got enough guys 364 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,240 we think can be our playmakers at the guard. 365 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 3: Spots, and so you just see them. 366 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,079 Speaker 2: Well, you took enough shots at it that you gotta 367 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:54,839 at least go all the way through next year to 368 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,000 see if you've got somebody between. 369 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, because it's just like they would say. 370 00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:02,039 Speaker 3: A wing. 371 00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:03,839 Speaker 2: I think I want to combo forward or like a 372 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,880 bigger wing before I start messing around with the guards. 373 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: Because it feels like they've already messed around with the 374 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,359 guards or the on ball guys in the sense that 375 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,160 a lot of them just aren't on the ball as 376 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,119 much as anyone expected them to be. 377 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Joeman being like not a high rep ball 378 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,119 handling guard is interesting, but he has value elsewhere. Just 379 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,119 a question of like yeah, I mean Danny, Yeah, No, 380 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,279 you're I still I still am leaning away. I mean 381 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:35,759 what Saraf is who knows TRII who knows? 382 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, fast, I don't. So it's so. 383 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 2: Early though, like I want it. Those guys are both 384 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,519 teenagers when they started the year. I think they still are. 385 00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:45,200 I think Joemen is still nineteen too. 386 00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:49,519 Speaker 1: Would you consider this is? Would you consider? And this 387 00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:51,519 is I guess like kind of more of a I 388 00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:55,680 guess it's a bye play. But what if Denver I 389 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,880 brought this up on the Utah episode. Denver's in love 390 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,039 with Peyton Watson. They're not paying both him and Christian Brown? 391 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960 Would you consider just taking on? Would you throw one 392 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,359 of your lower end first round picks? Looking at maybe 393 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,519 the knickses twenty twenty seven pick, would you throw that 394 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,680 at Denver to get Christian Brown? 395 00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:15,519 Speaker 3: Yeah? Maybe? 396 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,519 Speaker 2: I mean that's presumably that unless things go really sideways, 397 00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:20,599 that picks in the twenties. 398 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,799 Speaker 1: I actually said one of their lower end first and 399 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:24,839 I'm looking at their commitments, so when you just look 400 00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:27,480 at the extra first that they have the Knicks in 401 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:30,920 twenty seven, twenty nine and thirty one, Phillies in twenty 402 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,039 twenty eight, and Denver's in twenty thirty two. There's one 403 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,519 low end pick I think in. 404 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 3: That budge, which is the Knicks one probably. 405 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: Twenty seven, And could you even talk yourself into if 406 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,400 they don't win this season, they just might do something 407 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,160 so stupid. 408 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,039 Speaker 2: Well that's why I hesitated and said, like that's probably 409 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:52,720 in the twenties, but also who knows. Yeah, I'm just 410 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:54,839 not sure where I'm out on Christian Brown specifically, to 411 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,680 be honest, but like that player type, you know, the 412 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,240 guy that's making in the twenties, that's a star that's 413 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,839 young enough to where like could factor once. 414 00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 3: All your really really young guys are probable roles. 415 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,079 Speaker 1: Well, he's still pretty young. He's expensive though, and I 416 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,519 just wonder what the cost of with some of his 417 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:16,920 other teammates getting more expensive John Suggs Hmmm. 418 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,759 Speaker 3: He would definitely be. 419 00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:22,799 Speaker 2: I think if you do that, it's like Claxton's not 420 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,680 going anywhere and MPJ is not going anywhere, and you're 421 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,960 kind of just like competitive. 422 00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: I was actually wondering if it was more of you 423 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,279 could probably get Orlando out of the tax by giving 424 00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:37,759 them Michael Porter Junior. If you're taking back Suggs, you 425 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:40,480 throw Jonathan Isaac in there, like you could probably get 426 00:20:40,599 --> 00:20:42,240 Orlando out of the tax. 427 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,799 Speaker 2: Well, what you're highlighting is the lead for Brooklyn is that, 428 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,960 like their true role here is to use the only 429 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,599 cap space that exists in the league to like, let 430 00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:56,079 me do you a favor other teams, you know, whether 431 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,559 that's being the third team or whether that's we'll take back, 432 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,240 you know, a big chunk of money that you don't 433 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,960 want give you someone cheaper with stuff attached. Like that's 434 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,200 that's if I'm saying, like what should the Nets do, 435 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,559 It's use that cap space to do things no other 436 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:14,279 team can do, like be the be the only way 437 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,240 that this deal gets done and really like exact a 438 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:17,960 price for it. 439 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: And there's an if you don't have like bigger deals, 440 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,359 like there's not even one single which by the way, 441 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,920 is possible if there's not a single blockbuster on the 442 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,119 table to where you can utilize that leverage. There are 443 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,920 so many teams within just striking distance of ducking the tax. 444 00:21:35,079 --> 00:21:39,640 There are one, two, three, four, five, six teams are 445 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,279 seven and a half million dollars or lesson to the tax. 446 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,160 You could feasibly just help like three of them get out, 447 00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:47,920 and then how many seconds you end up with for 448 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,640 that or even is there, you're probably not getting a 449 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,319 first probably's there, but if it's all right, we obliterate 450 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,079 our fifty million dollars of cast braces for the season 451 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,759 and we got like six second round picks or something 452 00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:57,160 like that. 453 00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that that feels like if all else fails, 454 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,839 move But that's a pretty good like we know we'll 455 00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:07,440 be able to do that if we can't do anything else, 456 00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:10,720 like coming out with several seconds and just for money 457 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,839 that you sort of have to spend anyway, pretty pretty solid. 458 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,759 Like I don't know if that's even qualifying as a 459 00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:17,319 fallback plan what is? 460 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,079 Speaker 1: And do you think they're gonna be willing to take 461 00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:21,960 on money that goes beyond this season? 462 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:28,079 Speaker 3: So well, why wouldn't you be like it? 463 00:22:28,279 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: Just like I think the price of the it probably 464 00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:33,640 depends on what you're getting back, which you could say 465 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,960 about anything, but I might prefer because a lot more 466 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,359 activity happens over the offseason if you can facilitate facilitate 467 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,839 moves as a cap space, like they're probably gonna have 468 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,880 cap space either way, but fifty plus million around that's 469 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,759 a lot of cap space. So if you're able to 470 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:52,400 preserve that and maybe it change is now the variable 471 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,240 here is I'm just assuming what if they don't trade 472 00:22:54,279 --> 00:22:56,680 Claxton or Michael Porter Junior. And there's just a chance 473 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,359 that if you trade Michael Porter Junior because he has 474 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,599 standalone you maybe you're actually getting expiring contracts in return, 475 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,319 so you're increasing your cap space too. 476 00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:07,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, are we trending towards like, oh, the 477 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:09,519 Nets have two max salary slots? 478 00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:10,319 Speaker 3: Again? Is that? 479 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: Like? 480 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,039 Speaker 3: I really don't want to think that again. 481 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: I think that they view cap space as a facilitation tool. 482 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,559 Speaker 2: I don't think they change their stance on cap space. 483 00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:25,640 It's not two superstars anymore. Well, who leaves nobody's a 484 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,519 free agent anymore. 485 00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: That's they signed Lebron this offseason. 486 00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 3: Congrat Yeah, no, that's really true. 487 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,759 Speaker 1: Well, hey, you just you don't know what your pick 488 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:35,359 next year. 489 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: Lebron would definitely sell tickets at You'll be really yeah, 490 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,880 you'll be relevant, that's true. No, I think I think 491 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,599 just as a facilitator, as a like, let's let's get 492 00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:46,000 involved in other deals. That's I mean, they could really 493 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,119 come away looking pretty good if that's all they do. 494 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: Okay, so too many questions. Who's the most likely player? 495 00:23:50,759 --> 00:23:53,000 To be traded on this team. 496 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: Uh, I mean, I'll just go Porter Junior. I think 497 00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:00,799 there's gonna be pretty robust demand for him, and I 498 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,240 think there's plenty of teams that would should and would 499 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:05,279 be willing to put two first on the table for him, 500 00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:07,000 Like if he's if he's gonna play like this, I 501 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:10,039 mean it's gone on long enough, Like I think he's 502 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,680 that's a big salary, But I think he's just been 503 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,279 really good. And I think who doesn't need a lights 504 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:18,000 out shooter that has been on a championship team before. 505 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,839 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with to be country. I'm gonna 506 00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:27,079 say like Zire Williams or Heywood High, just to be contrarian. 507 00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:28,079 Speaker 3: I like it. 508 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: And then I can't remember what my second question. I 509 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,119 had a second question for you. Would we do most 510 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,079 likely player to be Oh, the number over under on 511 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,440 the number of these players that get if if it's 512 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,160 Michael Porter Junior Nick Claxton point five. So you already 513 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,839 predicted Michael Porter Junior was going to be the most 514 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,039 likely player to be traded, So what the over and 515 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,960 the number of trades the Nets make? They could it 516 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,880 could be however many, I'll say one point five. 517 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 3: And this counts them like nosing in, Like we're going 518 00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:58,519 to take on this twelve million dollars salary with a 519 00:24:58,559 --> 00:24:59,440 second attack. 520 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,319 Speaker 1: Correct, Uh, I will go. 521 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 2: Over one point five, and in fact I will be disciplined. 522 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,519 I think it will have been a mistake if they 523 00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:09,440 are not over, if they don't get two trades or 524 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,079 more done, I'll. 525 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,599 Speaker 1: Take the overs. Well, do you think that they will finish, 526 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,119 They will move past the deadline and have more or 527 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,359 less than five million dollars in cap space remaining. 528 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 2: Uh, I'm gonna say less. I think they're gonna try 529 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,759 to use up. 530 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: We're just gonna manifest activity and to existence. 531 00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:31,759 Speaker 3: Really, that's kind of what this is good. I don't know, like, 532 00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:33,640 what are we doing if we're not gonna capital We're 533 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,359 the only team that can facilitate deals like get in there. 534 00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:39,039 Speaker 1: Could you imagine if they do nothing? If if they 535 00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:42,559 do if they do nothing, I think that this will 536 00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:45,799 have been the worst trade deadline of all time. There's 537 00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:47,559 just nothing out there for them to facilitate. 538 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,279 Speaker 2: Well yeah, right, yeah, if they're on, if they're unable 539 00:25:51,319 --> 00:25:53,960 to do anything, it's because just nothing happened anywhere and 540 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,279 nobody called them and said. 541 00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:57,599 Speaker 3: We need help. Yeah, that would suck. I'm rooting real 542 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,359 hard against that. 543 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: You got anything else on that, But you're ready to take 544 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,079 us out of here. 545 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 2: I think that's gonna do it.
