00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: What is up, Fellasiko as I am Dan Valley coming

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,160
at you with a brief intro while I was doing

3
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:13,919
our thirty team lookhead series. If you haven't checked those

4
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:16,039
alcohol bounce around. We talked about the big picture, so

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,920
it's not something you just need to jump because the

6
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:20,440
NBA regular season has started now. We talked to an

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,480
expert who covers each and every team, went an hour

8
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:26,199
plus on most of them. I asked all of them

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,839
for one additional prediction for their team at the end

10
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:31,359
of each podcast. If you subscribe to our audio feed,

11
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:34,079
you got most of them. If you were watching on YouTube,

12
00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:36,799
I included a few as teasers, but I compiled them

13
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:39,000
together just so you could get a sense of what

14
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:41,799
were they predicting, maybe what were they watching for leading

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,679
into the season. It will go in alphabetical order. It

16
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:46,799
was really interesting to hear what some of them said.

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,679
Some of them were super quick about it, others dug

18
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:50,840
a little bit deeper into it. I think you will

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,840
enjoy the discussions or the predictions that they made, and

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,119
if you have not already, this is a very quick

21
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:01,359
reminder hit the subscribe button on YouTube, on Spotify, on Apple,

22
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,319
leave ratings and reviews for audio, the written reviews go

23
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,000
a long way. They help people find us. Hype points

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,599
like comments on every video really help us continue to

25
00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:12,599
build the community over here to Hardwood Knocks. But that's

26
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:15,640
enough out of me. Let's get to expert predictions from

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,079
every NBA team, from the people that actually cover them

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,000
on a day to day basis. Lauren, can I get

29
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:24,439
one additional prediction about the Hawks for this coming season

30
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:25,799
from you? It could be whatever you want?

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Who prediction?

32
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: Like, what are do you mean?

33
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Like award base an award? It could be any players

34
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:40,560
breaking out, a player gets squeezed out of or it

35
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:42,519
could be a trade. It could be anything.

36
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: Hmm, what trade.

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: It's hard for me to predict a trade just yet

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,319
because I haven't seen how everything looks. So I'm gonna

39
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:58,799
go with and maybe this is low hanging fruit, but

40
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:01,959
I'm gonna pencil in Jalen for most improved.

41
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:04,719
Speaker 1: If they get back to back most improved players, that

42
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:06,319
would be insane.

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pencil Jalen in for most improved just because

44
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,680
he was in the conversation early, so that means I'm

45
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,599
saying I'm predicting Jalen's gonna have a healthy.

46
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: That might be the spicier prediction. At this point, He's

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,879
already been in the most Improved Player discussion twice. God, Jalen,

48
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,919
please hell the I'm just I wonder if he's turned

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,800
the corner too much now to everyone's like, well, he

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,479
was supposed to win that award last year and just

51
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,199
wasn't healthy enough, and so I think, like he was

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,680
in the All Star mix last year, if he's healthy enough,

53
00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:39,599
like him getting into the All Star Game like that,

54
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:41,800
especially if the Hawks aren't good and now more people

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,280
are watching the Hawks that might be because he's clear

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,120
they don't have. Maybe if Christops has an insane season,

57
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,479
but aside from like Trey, they don't have like that,

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,439
it's Jailing is the obvious All Star candidates. I would

59
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:54,960
think maybe Gaison, but that's a little too I think

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,039
that's too deep cut.

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like Dyson might be a slight rea

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,759
solely because I just don't know how his offense turns

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,199
the corner yet. Uh Yeah, so yeah, I would probably

64
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:14,919
say Jalen is probably their second guy who's like they're

65
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,919
per like banked in, not banked in, but just like

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,719
clearcut count runner for somebody who could be voted as

67
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:23,319
an All Star.

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,039
Speaker 1: He does that on a contract he's on, because his

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,120
contract already looks good. But like it once you tie

70
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:30,879
the All Star, Like, let's say he does win me

71
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,680
he's fout player because he's healthy. That's when it really diancapsulates,

72
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:37,080
like how much of a bargain that contract becomes.

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,439
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see though, too.

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,039
Speaker 5: I think my big question.

75
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,639
Speaker 4: I think my big prediction is that Nyeka has a

76
00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:47,240
really big year.

77
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 6: One.

78
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,919
Speaker 4: He's gonna be competing, you know, internally with Chris STAPs.

79
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:55,039
He's a guy that's sort of been adding that three

80
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,599
point shot consistently over the last couple of years, and

81
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:01,240
so I feel like he could be really good, especially

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,919
now that defenses know that he has that in his back.

83
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,840
To the point, I mean, granted they don't. They still

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,080
don't take it as seriously as I think that they should.

85
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:11,960
But I think he's somebody that they might start looking

86
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,840
at as not necessarily a threat, but somebody that they

87
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680
should pay attention to in terms of if he's on

88
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:18,199
the perimeter.

89
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: Who shoots a higher percentage from three this year? A

90
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,319
Kungou or Jalen Johnson.

91
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,439
Speaker 7: Oh Oh Coong wo wow.

92
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,759
Speaker 1: I love that one. I love it. I love it.

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,959
Speaker 4: Just just solely. I say that because, as they say,

94
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,240
right the cliche shoot or shoot, and I just think

95
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,360
that Onyeka has shown over the last couple of years

96
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:49,600
a more consistent willingness to take those shots. Jalen will

97
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:55,120
sometimes get the ball on the perimeter, and I don't

98
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,000
know if it's just in the heat of the you know,

99
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,319
the speed of the game, you kind of second guess

100
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,040
how much space you have to try and let that

101
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,839
shot go and he'll pup sake and then drive to

102
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:07,720
the basket. Whereas Amyeko just like, well, I'm on the perimeter,

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,319
I'm gonna shoot it. So I think I think that's

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,000
I'm gonna go with.

105
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,879
Speaker 1: The Congo to be threat. The quality of like Akongo's

106
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,240
threes will just be better and easier that he's getting

107
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,399
his teed up, whereas Jalen Johnson will have to take

108
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,199
more contested ones. But I've still that's if that happens,

109
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,480
that something's gone wrong with Jalan Johnson, are right with.

110
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,959
Speaker 8: With my answer, I'm sticking with my answer.

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,439
Speaker 1: Can I get one additional Celtics prediction for you from

112
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:38,040
this season? It could be whatever you want it to be. Ooh,

113
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,560
let's see, you want to go Peyton Pritchard for the

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,160
All Star for the All Star team? Make or you

115
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:47,519
said your co host Noah, make your co host Noah happy.

116
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:51,439
Speaker 2: I can't go that far with him. I guess I'll

117
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:54,000
join you on Derek Island and say he'll be in.

118
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 9: That conversation and might even get there.

119
00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: I could see if for sure? Is it so much

120
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,959
an island as a planet?

121
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:02,639
Speaker 10: Yeah?

122
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:06,879
Speaker 11: No, I don't think there's anyone who doesn't like Derek White.

123
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,439
Speaker 2: Derek White All Star Island is what I should.

124
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: Have called it, wouldn't I favor that prediction.

125
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 12: I think that's a good one before we let you

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,879
go one other nets prediction can be anything you want.

127
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,319
Speaker 13: Jaegor makes second team All a rookie.

128
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:27,879
Speaker 14: I could see.

129
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they better get an all rookie guy with that.

130
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,879
Drafted five of them in the first round. And what

131
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,639
percentage of the first round do they have in play? Yeah,

132
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:36,079
they better.

133
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 13: They do have twenty percent of the seventeen percent of

134
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,639
the first round to play.

135
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,759
Speaker 1: Great odds.

136
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,519
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know he's six', nine he'll he'll he'll walk

137
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,680
into some like thirteen five and six games you, know

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,439
if he makes a couple of threes and like gets

139
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,279
fouled while they're in the.

140
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: BONUS i look if he stays, Healthy like if that

141
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:59,040
plan or fascist stuff doesn't, Linger i'm all. BORED i

142
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,839
think he's gonna be really. Good maybe. NOT i don't

143
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,040
know he's gonna be a, star BUT i think he's

144
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,839
gonna be a, really really GOOD nba. Player.

145
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 13: Grant here's the, quote by the, WAY i almost forgot

00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,680

148
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,160

00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,040
myself for the team or something like. That it's just

153
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:27,000
about making the right.

154
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,839

00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,639
Basketball he, was for the first, time like visibly annoyed

167
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,639
because we asked like ten. Questions they were, like, so

168

like your, injury can you tell us about? It and

169
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:10,199

174
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,279

00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,079
Speaker 12: Artistic, yeah, well street to the body doesn't affect the,

176
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:27,639
soul and my soul is purified by skip.

177
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 13: Passes someone souls in my comments and said art is

178
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,559
nothing without. Constraints that is WHY i have forsworn learning

179
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:35,799
how to.

180
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Dribble that's. INCREDIBLE i.

181

183
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: Just me COULD i get one other prediction for you

184
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:54,559
for this, Team, oh could be whatever you.

185
00:08:54,559 --> 00:09:03,279
Speaker 14: Want liam, McNeely Second, Rookie All, Team All Rookie Second.

186
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:04,879
Team at, minimum.

187
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: They're really gonna find playing time for these guys to.

188
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Spend having such a jumble the roster THAT i THINK

189
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,200
i JUST i.

190
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 14: May believe and McNealy, Again i'm very much a believer

191
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:15,480
In leam.

192
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 15: McNeely i think he's one of those guys that if

193
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,360
you build something, sustainable you have to hit on those

194
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,320
kind of guys in the twenties and everything else like.

195
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,279
Speaker 14: That we've seen it.

196
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 15: Again you Mentioned Desmond, Baine Draymond, green the obvious, answer

197
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,879
but there are a lot of these guys that if

198
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:31,960
you hit on, late LIKE i think that you can

199
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,159
end up changing your entire. Trajectory AND i think he

200
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:40,360
was criminally. UNDERDRAFTED i like that.

201
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,159
Speaker 1: One that's a that's a really good. ONE i, Said,

202
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,279
MAN i want to be tracking this team's minutes pattern

203
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,279
more THAN i kind of thought coming in. Here there's

204
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,120
just so many, Dudes and SO i said at the top.

205
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 15: Of, this they have a ton of. Dudes it's they

206
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,519
have a ton of very interesting, dudes and it's just

207
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,639
about figuring out where this. Is, LIKE i don't want

208
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,559
to Say CON's gonna. BE i Think con has a

209
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,440
shot a Rookie all first, team BUT i also think

210
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,600
there's a there's a chance that he ends up just

211
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:07,679
being a really solid bench contributor this year.

212
00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 14: And he ends up popping in the following. Year BUT

213
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,440
i also wonder like there's a lot of, This like you,

214
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,519
said it's a roster, jumble AND i think a lot

215
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,440
of this is gonna end up having to get. Clear

216
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:20,000
That polard is gonna end up having to.

217
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 15: Get clear probably In, october and we'll find out probably

218
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,039
first two weeks of the season exactly what this.

219
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,759
Speaker 1: Is, jason CAN i get one More bulls prediction for

220
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:31,519
you for this company from you for this coming?

221
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:31,919

Speaker 1: Please what like a general? One it could be whatever

223
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:37,440
you want and it could be About Julian phillips all,

224
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,720
right predicted about whatever you?

225
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:41,519
Speaker 6: Want let's see, Here oh, GUY i KNOW i was

226
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,159
talking to a friend about most. IMPROVED i want to

227
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:47,399
throw it like a modest whosellis most? Improved like case

228
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,360
out there that He's i'm not gonna say he's Gonna

229
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,559
i'm not gonna say he's gonna win.

230
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,039
Speaker 1: It who the last second year player was to win? It?

231
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,000
WHO i think it was Mante. Ellis if it was,

232
00:10:57,039 --> 00:10:59,480
IT i THINK i want to double check that, now

233
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,120
But i'm pretty sure it was.

234
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 6: Him, YEAH i don't think he's gonna win. IT i

235
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,960
think that'd be a huge, leap but LIKE i could

236
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,639
see him maybe working his way into some conversations for.

237
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: It at the very. Least that's a lame.

238
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,759
Speaker 6: Prediction Was i'm not saying like something's probably gonna happen

239
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:16,080
LIKE i wish. IT i can't really pretty like Giddy

240
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:16,559
kobe is.

241
00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:18,519
Speaker 1: Gonna be An All star BECAUSE i don't believe that at.

242
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,399
All no all, rookie no. Rookie LIKE i don't think

243
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,000
he's gonna play.

244
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,799
Speaker 6: Enough, yeah some of my lame predictions that modest will

245
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,759
work his way into some most improved.

246
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:31,279
Speaker 1: Conversations uh it was Monte alis was the last second

247
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,720
year away and most. Improved so that battle goes three.

248
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:36,759
Deep if he, finishes like in the top, three that's

249
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:39,919
a pretty big. Deal, That, yeah that would be that

250
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:41,519
would be pretty. Sick, again DO i.

251
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,039
Speaker 14: Think it's gonna?

252
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: HAPPEN i did it So, YEAH i JUST i just

253
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,600
printed it he'll at least be in the. Conversation SO

254
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:50,120
i guess top, Three AM i saying? That not really?

255
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 7: Five opportunity on the?

256
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: Table, yeah he'll finish third and most improved. One we

257
00:11:55,879 --> 00:11:58,799
are onto The Cleveland. Cavaliers CAN i get one other

258
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:05,759
prediction from you for next season about this? Team oh that's.

259
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:12,960
TOUGH i Think Tomris Procter rookie of The year or. No.

260
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 16: NO I i think that this is it kind of

261
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,320
has to be mobile, related right, like it's see whatever you.

262
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,600
WANT i, KNOW i know it can be ANYTHING i.

263
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:26,639
WANT i just LIKE i want to still you know,

264
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,399
this this is this is my, rookie right like we

265
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:29,759
we we.

266
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Came, up we Saw mobili like the develop with The.

267
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 16: CAVS i always have the temptation to handle him with

268
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:39,120
kid gloves because bigs develop at a different. Rate i've

269
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:41,679
never tried to like jump up as much AS i

270
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,159
loved him as a. PROSPECT i always try to manage my.

271
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,200
Expectations BUT i think this is the. YEAR i think

272
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,919
this is the year where he just you, KNOW i

273
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,279
know he was An All, STAR i know He's ALL.

274
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,240
NBA i know he Won Defensive player of The. YEAR

275
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,600
i think this is the year where you, know he

276
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,039
kind of goes from like That Rudy gobert, resentful we

277
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,120
have to respect him from fans to oh, yeah that

278
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:07,080
guy's like a, Dude like he's someone that that's a

279
00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:10,200
nightmare to play. Against we have to think about, him

280
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,840
we have to game plan against, him and even when

281
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:15,799
we do, that he makes the right play every single

282
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,159
time and he kills us and he's a. PROBLEM i

283
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:20,080
Think Evan mobley is going to make a leap next

284
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,480
season and he's going to be in that you, know

285
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:27,240
top fifteen player. Consensus you, KNOW i want to say top,

286
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:29,480
ten but let's let's just keep it at top. Fifteen

287
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,480
let's protect my guy here a little. Bit BUT i

288
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,279
THINK i think it's going to be a consensus opinion

289
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:36,240
That Evan mobley is a top fifteen player next.

290
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Year that's a good, One adam says to MY Mvp

291
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:41,320
vallet this, year so still can make a ball dev

292
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,799
And mobley. Prediction but if you get to a point

293
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:45,519
where defenses have to game plan against him every game

294
00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,240
and he's still making the right, decision then it's then

295
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:50,879
top ten is like that's the that's the spot he's

296
00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,600
inside there that's my. Consensus you, Know gilbert is an.

297
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,639
Speaker 16: Example he made such an impact and like got a

298
00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:00,879
lot of accolades with what he does on the defensive,

299
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,559
end like mobiley is that level of, defender but he

300
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,799
also like averages twenty, two eleven and three and can

301
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,120
create his own buckets like this, threes like, yeah, Yeah

302
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:15,919
like ALL i need is like IF i was working with,

303
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,120
him WHICH i never should Because i'm not qualified, too

304
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:20,360
BUT i think i'd kind of like Clockwork orange him

305
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,000
and just have him watch Like MINNESOTA kg and Like

306
00:14:23,039 --> 00:14:26,159
Toronto Chris bosh and just be like steal some stuff from,

307
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:28,120
this LIKE i want to see that mid range. GAME

308
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,720
i want to, see you, know the jab, steps like

309
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,320
let let's let's give that into the arsenal. Here AND

310
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:35,759
i think the one THING i don't know how many

311
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,519
Much Evan mobley like summer workouts and run videos that you.

312
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,759
Speaker 1: Watch but.

313
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 16: There there is a common element of his most fun

314
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:47,440
ones over the last couple of, years and it's because

315
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,399
he's wearing a Do rag do. Rag Evan mobley is

316
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,080
like Untucked, Tyrie LIKE i we need to we need

317
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,080
to petition THE nba to allow him to do this

318
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:59,120
Because they're, like there's just a different level of physicality

319
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,960
he plays with, it and that needs to be part

320
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,480
of the equation.

321
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Here is he the New lebron Dou REGs so you're

322
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,240
at meme like Predic dad needs a so unplugged. HIM

323
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,960
i not, KNOW i not not.

324
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,159
Speaker 16: Yet but, again history doesn't always, repeat but it often.

325
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,799
Rhymes AND i think you Know darius Or kyrie missing

326
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:20,039
the start of the, season mobilely getting That lebron. Attitude

327
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,279
it's all part of the equation.

328
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Here, Okay, kirk, finally COULD i get one additional prediction

329
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,360
from you about This maverick? Season you could take it

330
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:28,039
wherever you.

331
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,159
Speaker 17: Want oh, MAN i did a short video about HOW

332
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,320
i desperately Need Cooper flag to shave his goateee BECAUSE

333
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,960
i think it's A i think it's just it's an

334
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,840
act of violence against facial.

335
00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:40,799
Speaker 14: Hair AND i like facial.

336
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 17: Hair it's on my, face you, know it's but it's.

337
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: Just like he's got this goatee right, here and it's

338
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:46,679
because he's.

339
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 18: Eighteen and he can't grow this AND i need and

340
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:53,240
he's either going to grow like a full thing or

341
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,320
it's it's just BECAUSE i, mean when you see, it

342
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:57,559
you won't be able to unsee. It like he looks

343
00:15:57,559 --> 00:16:02,399
like he's in one of those ninety movies like the

344
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,879
the ben Affleck, ones where's just.

345
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:07,679
Speaker 3: It it's just that there's it's really. Bad it's and

346
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:11,559
so my prediction is that at some point he goes full,

347
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,519
babyface AND i think that's a much better look because

348
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,080
The mavericks just they have some weird looking, Dudes like

349
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,000
they have two or three guys who wear, undershirts which

350
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:21,399
is an affront of the Basketball.

351
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,519
Speaker 1: God it's, like we can't be doing this in twenty twenty,

352
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:24,039
five twenty.

353
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,639
Speaker 19: Six so it's my my my, take if this is a,

354
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:30,559
take is that The mavericks are not only going to

355
00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:33,600
be esthetically unpleasing in terms of playing this double big,

356
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:37,919
basketball they also have just this aesthetic unpleasing look about.

357
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,799
Speaker 17: Them so there we.

358
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,159
Speaker 1: Go so you're manifesting. It i'm looking at a picture

359
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,799
right now of him in the draft combine where it

360
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,200
looks like he was completely clean, shaven and he looks

361
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,799
like he's. Twelve so, yeah the baby face, look if

362
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:51,480
you're going for the twelve year old, book seems like

363
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:51,960
he could pull it.

364
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 17: OFF i, mean it's it's so. Funny it's, Like i'm eighteen.

365
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:57,519
Now my dad can't tell me what to do facial.

366
00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 20: Hair it's.

367
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,919
Speaker 3: Great it's horrible it AND i did a video about,

368
00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:03,320
it and all these people are, like this is what

369
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,240
you're caring. About i'm, like, yes this is What i'm caring.

370
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: About In, AUGUST i had nothing. Else you know, what

371
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,599
you shot a spotlight on the stuff that. MATTERS i appreciate. That.

372
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: WELL i mean the undershirts are a whole different deal

373
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,039
because remember when When luca wore an, undershirt it was,

374
00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:20,039
like well it's because he's. Fat because he's, fat and

375
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,039
A d And flag both wear. Them it's, like why

376
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:24,119
do you guys Wear i'm, like you, look you remember

377
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,920
the sleeve jerseys that we had for a. Season it's just.

378
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: It's not a low those are and it's, because like

379
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:32,519
we have all those iconic images because The calves won

380
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:35,680
the title in. Them just. Gross COULD i get one

381
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:38,920
additional nuggets prediction from, You adam for this coming? Season

382
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,759
it could be whatever you.

383
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:44,799
Speaker 21: Want i've given you a lot of. Ones you, know

384
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,799
some of my takes About Peyton watson being good In

385
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:50,079
thish to THAT I i think it'll Beat jokic's best defensive.

386
00:17:50,079 --> 00:17:53,720
SEASON i kind of em betting on IF i want

387
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,440
to get, SPICY i might predict. Here i'm gonna make

388
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,440
a couple predictions On. JOKIC i think he's gonna have

389
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,400
the lowest per game, averages probably in both in, points

390
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,519
rebounds an assists that he's had in the last four,

391
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,079
years probably in every. Category so if you go, down

392
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,920
that might be like twenty four and a half points per,

393
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,720
game eleven ten ten eleven, rebounds and maybe eight. Assists

394
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,680
still a great stat, line but lower in every mark than.

395
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:19,680
BEFORE i think he's gonna finish third or fourth IN

396
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:21,920
mvp voting because of, it for some you, know for

397
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,920
some weird. Reason BUT i predict he will have his

398
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:27,720
most efficient season, yet which is funny because he's had

399
00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:30,279
some of the most efficient seasons. Ever AND i would

400
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:32,960
not be surprised if he was around twenty four points

401
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,039
per game on seventy percent true shooting or you, know

402
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:38,799
effective field goal, percentage and it's gonna Be we're GONNA

403
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:41,559
I i also PREDICT i was looking at this In Daniel.

404
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:44,160
Gafford last year he had like thirty nine straight made

405
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,240
two point field. GOALS i don't think he's gonna beat

406
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,200
that because they're all. DUNKS i Think yoke might have

407
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,960
two or three perfect games in a row this year

408
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,359
where he has Like yoke was eight for, eight next

409
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,559
night he was seven for, seven and then he starts

410
00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:58,119
a game six for six before missing a.

411
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: Three the logic behind you thinking out aside from OBVIOUSLY

412
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,119
i get the lower counting stats if you think especially

413
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,519
he'll play fewer, minutes but just the de efficiency.

414
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 21: STUFF i Think jokic can make every shot he wants

415
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,359
other to a certain, degree and then he has to

416
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,079
like strain himself to make the other, ones, Right, so

417
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:21,559
AND i think that he only strains himself when there's

418
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,720
no other options. AVAILABLE i think The nuggets aren't going

419
00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:25,640
to struggle to get open, shots SO i don't think

420
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,440
they'll find a lot of late clock soundboard. Shuffles you, Know,

421
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,440
OKAY i gotta really drive into the defense here and

422
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,000
go up over two. GUYS i think he'll be able

423
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,599
to just kind of pick his spots this year and, say,

424
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,119
Yeah i'm open under the, rim a little floatery, up

425
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,440
that's my jump mid range. Jumper that's What i'm. Doing

426
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,680
AND i just think he'll have a lot of nights

427
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,839
where he'd only takes seven, shots eight, shots and there's

428
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,200
just bound to be a game or two where he

429
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:46,880
strings two of them.

430
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,559
Speaker 1: Together seventy effective field goal percentage or true shooting percentage

431
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,440
would be. INSANE i favor. THAT i like that. One

432
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,720
CAN i get one more prediction from you about This

433
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:57,599
piston squad to be? Anything you take it wherever you.

434
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 20: Want this is this is the tough.

435
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 22: Thing so.

436
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 20: Let's level set. Expectations, right you, lose you get the sixth,

437
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,279
seed you avoid the play, in you lose in the

438
00:20:09,319 --> 00:20:12,720
first round of the playoffs last. Season for, me the

439
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:15,799
goal this year should should be for this team to

440
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,319
win a first round playoff. Series that should be the

441
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,279
goal you should look to advance in the. Playoffs what

442
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,319
makes that goal easier ay staying out of the play,

443
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:28,599
in just like you, know not having to worry about

444
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,400
any of the bs that can or can't happen to

445
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,079
the play. IN b getting a home. Court getting home

446
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,480
court matters if you're trying to win an actual playoff.

447
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:39,000
Series so to do, that you have to win in

448
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,079
the regular, season and you have to win probably in

449
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,039
the neighborhood of like forty five to forty seven games

450
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,119
in the regular. Season to, me that should be what

451
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,920
The pistons like shoot. For they should shoot for being

452
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:54,480
like a fifty win. Team land short of, that try

453
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,079
and get the four seed and like win your first

454
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,319
round home court. Series that should be the goal this.

455
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,039
Season DO i think they can DO i think they do. That,

456
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,720
NO i. DON'T i don't think they do. THAT i

457
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:11,480
think between the improvements that The magic made this offseason

458
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,359
from a roster, perspective it'sween like the wholesale revamped thing

459
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,839
The hawks have going. On The hawks are really good

460
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:26,000
and looked Like I'VE i was not A Jalen johnson,

461
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:29,599
person like he convinced me last. Year they really missed.

462
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,880
Him getting him back will be. Huge and then obviously

463
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,559
you've got, like, uh you Got, cleveland you Got New,

464
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,640
york you got, uh you Got.

465
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Who Joannis turner and.

466
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 20: Dudes, Yeah, like Like i'm always reticent to count out

467
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,640
Of milwaukee ahead of The pistons because The pistons have

468
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,559
just never been able to be honest in any, way

469
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:55,279
shape or, form even like other teams, can but like we.

470
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:57,759
Can't so like it's easy for me to be like all,

471
00:21:57,839 --> 00:21:59,480
right like maybe that's like the fourth, seed and like

472
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,519
we get the fifth seed AND i hate that playoff, matchup,

473
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:06,799
Right but, YEAH i would like for The pistons to

474
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:09,160
get into a spot where they're the fourth seed or.

475
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,680
HIGHER i don't think they get, there but like for,

476
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,240
me IF i hope they prove me, WRONG i hope

477
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,279
them in this space where they prove me.

478
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: WRONG i think for them it's like them maybe more

479
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,039
so than any team in The Eastern. Conference, yeah because

480
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:24,519
Like orlando pushed all its chips in like progress isn't,

481
00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:26,640
linear and so if they end up winning like forty

482
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,720
one or forty two, games but you come away, thinking

483
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,519
Like Ron holland shot really well from the, floor and

484
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:33,519
we got more out of offense From asar And jayde

485
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:35,599
And ivy looked really good both with and without Kay,

486
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,000
gunningham and it just. Broke things just broke wrongly in The.

487
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:41,720
East that still can count as, progress AND i think

488
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,119
that's probably what fans need to. Remember but they're also

489
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,119
in a spot WHERE i don't know WHERE i would

490
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,200
put them in the standings. Exactly but how many teams

491
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,400
we're sitting here today Early, september would you be prepared

492
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,039
to guarantee are going to be better than them in

493
00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:57,319
The east next, Season like it's probably. Three, yeah it's Like,

494
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,400
Cleveland New york and if, possible, Yeah orlando Or atlanta maybe. Then,

495
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,319
LIKE i don't know what to feel about The. Sixers

496
00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:06,000
i'm never gonna give them the benefit of a doubt

497
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,920
at this, point but they're the mother of all wild.

498
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,039
Speaker 20: Guards, yeah, exactly. Exactly sixers are really, little by the,

499
00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:14,559
way like Without, embid that's a lot of.

500
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: Guards Mister Grant hughes of The Hardwood Knox. Podcast end

501
00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:23,559
Of Leacher. Report CAN i get one More warriors prediction

502
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:27,319
from you for this coming? Season, no Because i'm gonna

503
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:27,799
give you two.

504
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 12: ONE i think they're more likely to win sixty games

505
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,680
than being the play in just just acknowledging like the

506
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:37,720
high and low ends of the spectrum for. THEM i

507
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,480
think them hitting a stupid number of wins somehow is

508
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,920
likelier than them being like a forty, two forty three.

509
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: Wins IF i told you, That Steph draymond And Jimmy

510
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,119
butler all and Even horford let's say let's say he

511
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,400
only misses the back to, backs they all qualify for.

512
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,640
Awards sixty five games, WELL i Mean.

513
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,559
Speaker 12: Pelton pelton's got him at fifty six with less than,

514
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:05,279
that SO i, think uh, yeah that's that's when you're

515
00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:07,640
in the mid to high, fifties, right, like and who,

516
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,039
Knows like they're not gonna win sixty. Games it's just

517
00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:13,279
more likely than them being like the ten. SEED i,

518
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:17,359
think barring everybody gets. Hurt the other, One Dan Quinn

519
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,200
post is gonna have a game where he makes ten.

520
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,079
Threes we think about. That it's happened ten seventy times

521
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,440
IN nba. History there's like most of those Are Stephan,

522
00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:28,599
clay like not kidding the.

523
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: MAJORITY i think there's gotta be a J.

524
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,039
Speaker 12: R smith one in, there right probably The dame has,

525
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,480
One Zach lavine has.

526
00:24:34,519 --> 00:24:38,039
Speaker 1: One you, know he's on par with those.

527
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 12: Guys so he's made, six AND i think there's there's

528
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,839
gonna be games Where horford doesn't play And posts has

529
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,680
earned a bigger. Role ten feels like sufficiently. BOLD i

530
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,680
think he can make ten threes in a game like

531
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,079
ten for.

532
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,519
Speaker 1: How do it not a? Lot dan gonna get you

533
00:24:58,599 --> 00:25:00,319
make ten threes another thirty minut that would be.

534
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,599
Speaker 12: Incredible we'll we'll just throw aside all the ridiculous clay

535
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:06,759
like points points in a certain number of minute stats

536
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:08,960
that are. THERE i think he can go ten for

537
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:09,799
fourteen in a.

538
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: GAME i think that's that's. Uh that has a a.

539
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,039
Speaker 12: Fifteen percent likelihood of actually.

540
00:25:16,039 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 14: Happening some are, predicted.

541
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:21,079
Speaker 1: Mister Salmon ali Of Red Nation. Hoops COULD i get

542
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,640
one non, win non seating related prediction from you about

543
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,319
this team for next? Season they're gonna make the conference.

544
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:33,440
Finals oh, yeah that's. FAIR i mean that's Not maybe

545
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,680
that's not the expectation, yet but that's, like that's why

546
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,400
you put this team, together is to put yourself in that. Position,

547
00:25:38,759 --> 00:25:40,440
YEAH i think they're gonna make the conference. Finals AND

548
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,359
i Think.

549
00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 5: I'm tempted to say somebody makes An ALL nba, team

550
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:49,359
But i'm just so scared to make that. Prediction So

551
00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:52,839
i'm gonna say conference finals because that basically implies that

552
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,160
somebody is going to make It all team without saying.

553
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,079
Speaker 1: It who do you think is the most likely candidate

554
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,000
aside From Kevin durannerty even view him as the most?

555
00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 5: Likely can, WELL i mean somebody? ELSE i think he

556
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:05,680
is the most. LIKELY i think somebody else makes An

557
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,119
ALL nba.

558
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: Team right IF i had to pick. One that's not

559
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,640
going to Be Kevin. DURANT i think It's Read. Shepherd

560
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,279
i'm just. KIDDING i think it's out, There jacob just.

561
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000
KIDDING i think it's out not, yet he's not gonna

562
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,680
make it playing twenty minutes the game or. WHATEVER i

563
00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:21,599
think It's alpha And. SHANGHUN i could see people making

564
00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:24,319
the case For Amen, thompson BUT i don't really know

565
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,359
who the options would be after those. Three if you're

566
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,920
trying to come up with anybody.

567
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,079
Speaker 5: Else, no it's pretty much just a mend OR Uprn

568
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:32,480
and LIKE I i, mean Like, READ i.

569
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,799
Speaker 1: JUST i need to see more BEFORE i make that

570
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,000
kind of. Prediction but like he's going to play the

571
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:39,119
minutes thresholder, yeah, yeah, Yeah Well i'm talking about long,

572
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,559
term LIKE i want to see more IF i even

573
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,160
put that kind of ceiling on, him LIKE I, I

574
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,519
i'm tempted to just leave it at like those. Two

575
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,559
it's like they will Make ALL.

576
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,759
Speaker 5: Nba they have the Pial Bike ALL nba team in the,

577
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:53,200
future and if they're making the conference, finals chances are

578
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:54,359
one of them played at A nba.

579
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 9: Level.

580
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: Kill what's interesting is that Because Alman thompson will be

581
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,200
in the all defense. Discussion, discussion excuse, me that gives

582
00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:04,839
him like a boost That Shang gun won't, have and

583
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,240
so it really that conversation really could hinge. On you

584
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:08,880
mentioned this with some of the stuff you want to

585
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,839
see from Shang gun on, offense like what does how

586
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,799
are they gonna use him on offense with this new look,

587
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,640
roster because that is gonna dictate even if, look he

588
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,720
defended incredibly well last, year that is never gonna be.

589
00:27:19,759 --> 00:27:22,759
Something it won't hurt His ALL nba, case but like

590
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:25,160
it'll never make His ALL nba. Case and like With Alman,

591
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,920
thompson you have the built in argument of, like that's

592
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,519
one of the ten best player defenders in. Basketball and

593
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:31,359
so that's WHY i think the way that they deploy

594
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,799
Shang gun on offense with this roster is going to

595
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,519
be like super important to that type of accolade for.

596
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 5: Him yeah, YEAH i MEAN I I i feel like

597
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,400
we haven't really like everyone's initial reaction to The Kevin

598
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,240
durant trade is, Like, okay this is the biggest threat

599
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,759
to the cloten to be under and it's like ever since,

600
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:55,359
then we've had like this cute stuff come, in, right it's, Like,

601
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,240
okay it's like some like cute doubt come in For

602
00:27:58,319 --> 00:27:59,559
houston or cute.

603
00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: NOT i wouldn't even Farry easton thinking that he's like

604
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,400
the second.

605
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,799
Speaker 5: Man, no not internal external, Right, Like I'm i'm gonna

606
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:09,599
sound like. Such i've been sounding like such a homer this.

607
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,000
OFFSEASON i got a comment on. It i'm, like, yeah you're,

608
00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:13,759
RIGHT i do sound like. That but can you tell

609
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:14,039
Me i'm?

610
00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:14,279
Speaker 23: Wrong?

611
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: Right can you tell Me i'm wrong on my optimism

612
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,000
on how good they're gonna be next?

613
00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 22: Year?

614
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,599
Speaker 5: Right and it's LIKE i feel like saying that they're

615
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:23,559
gonna make the conference files and saying that they're gonna

616
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,279
be the biggest threat To obviostly as under is a

617
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,119
controversial take from where we started the off.

618
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,279
Speaker 1: Season where we started the off, season that was like

619
00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:32,400
the that would have been the.

620
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 5: Consensus but as we've had time to let the off

621
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,759
season shower over, us it's like now THE i think

622
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,880
people will probably pick the field as like the biggest

623
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:41,319
threat to The.

624
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:44,119
Speaker 1: Thunder versus statistically that might just because there are a

625
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,119
lot of good. Teams, OH i mean thick a team

626
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,240
from the, Field, LIKE i think more likely it's, like,

627
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,559
YEAH i mean, There i'm probably like give the slight

628
00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:56,720
edge to The, nuggets but that's more about having maybe

629
00:28:56,759 --> 00:28:59,119
watched The nuggets than look the ceiling on The. ROCKETS

630
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,079
i don't think anyone this shouldn't be a. Debate is

631
00:29:01,079 --> 00:29:05,240
winning the. Championship that's how good this team. Is, Yeah

632
00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:07,279
SO i DON'T i would say on a scale of

633
00:29:07,319 --> 00:29:08,920
you saying they're the biggest threat to this thunder if

634
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,079
we were doing A spice, scale like that's maybe a,

635
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,759
five like just because if it's not, them it's it's

636
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:16,720
between them or The. NUGGETS i guess you could feel

637
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,880
some type of way about The, clippers right or The.

638
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,039
Timberwolves BUT i don't think that's super. Common it's it'll

639
00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:26,519
be it'll be controversial among a few fan, bases, YEAH

640
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,279
I i, YEAH.

641
00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 5: I and a lot of this is MAYBE i am

642
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,759
listening to too many podcasts And i'm hearing way too

643
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:37,680
much like about like LIKE i just feel like like

644
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:40,359
the energy that everyone had at The asterlia it feels

645
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,440
very similar to twenty, eighteen, right where like The rockets

646
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,599
traded For Chris, Paul it's, like, okay this is the

647
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:51,480
threat To Golden, state, right and Then Oklahoma city trades

648
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:53,480
For Paul, george it's, like, actually like this is the

649
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,279
this is like the kind of cute everyone the everyone's

650
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:59,200
kind of you know surrounding Like Olahoma city is, like

651
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,039
oh they have they actually you have the best offseason

652
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,799
and they're actually the biggest threat to the Gold See,

653
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,640
Warriors and like people forgot what their instinctual reaction was

654
00:30:08,119 --> 00:30:10,640
at the beginning of the of the, summer which is, like,

655
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,440
yeah it's it's The, rockets, Right SO i feel like

656
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,640
everyone's like as time has passed from The Kevin durant,

657
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,319
trade like like if the.

658
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: Problem is, that then you have time to overthink. It it's,

659
00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:24,400
like even IF i don't agree that they're the biggest

660
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,200
threat to the, thunder if you have them like sists

661
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:30,119
in The west or something like, weird that's just, Like,

662
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,640
okay you had too much. Time you overthought. THIS i

663
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,480
IF i had just SAID i think their floor is probably,

664
00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:38,319
three but like their absolute floors maybe four if you

665
00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:40,799
want to bacon, In, Yeah i'm with you, Though, yeah,

666
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,960
yeah like that's that's how GOOD i think.

667
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 5: THAT i THINK i don't think it's crazy to say

668
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,160
That denver's is the biggest threat To Klomacy.

669
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: THUNDER i don't think it's.

670
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 24: Crazy j.

671
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: Pick it's that. Good we're high on. Him what's the? Problem, no,

672
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,960
LISTEN I I i love what The thunder.

673
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 5: Did The thunder The nuggets did this off, season, right,

674
00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:00,559
like LIKE i think they. Are there's a tea of

675
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,799
teams THAT i think are at the same level AND

676
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:05,319
i Have it's, okay, SEE i Think houston And, denver,

677
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:08,319
right we had this, discussion. RIGHT i Think denver absolutely

678
00:31:08,359 --> 00:31:10,920
deserves to be in that. Conversation BUT i think a

679
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,799
lot of people are doing that in a kind of

680
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:15,440
a cute story kind of. Way, Right they're they're doing

681
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,319
it happy to be here type. Deal well not even

682
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:20,000
a happy to be here type to. You or it's, like,

683
00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:22,480
okay now now we're, like do we're doing this? Thing

684
00:31:23,079 --> 00:31:26,599
or we pretend like the best offseason wasn't the best off,

685
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,200
season or we pretend like what your instinct was at

686
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,240
the beginning of the summer is like you know, what let's,

687
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,200
like let's really think about. It Has houston hasn't been there?

688
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,160
Before Kevin durant already shorts their? Window it would he

689
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,720
gets heard blah blah. Blah, dude you can say these

690
00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:45,400
questions about every team in THE, nba like what are

691
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,799
we talking?

692
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: About, LIKE i feel like we're overthinking.

693
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 5: This they're gonna rack up where this season, wins AND

694
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,400
i think they're gonna be the biggest threat to oklahomacitye Th.

695
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,480
Under The Denver nuggets have a case THAT i will

696
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,400
listen to as, well which is WHY i have them

697
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,960
the same. Tier, well we're doing this thing where we're

698
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,240
overthinking that The. Rockets and my hope is that twenty

699
00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:08,960
games into the, season just like twenty games in the

700
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,960
season in twenty, eighteen we were past that feeling of

701
00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:15,400
like that cute story. FEELING i hope we're past that

702
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,440
twenty games of the season when people actually see what

703
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,759
they're going to. BE i think they're gonna like rail through.

704
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:22,079
Speaker 1: Teams, caitlin and feel free to use this as another

705
00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:24,359
form to talk About Johnny, Furfy but COULD i get

706
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,279
One pacers prediction from you for this coming.

707
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:28,279
Speaker 14: SEASON i don't.

708
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 25: Think this is going to be super hot because this

709
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,799
could go a number of, ways BUT i think that

710
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,079
the starting lineup they start the season with won't be

711
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:36,799
the starting lineup that they finished the season, was and

712
00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:38,680
that could be because they make a. Trade that could

713
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,359
be because they toggle. Centers that could be because they,

714
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,799
look you, know in other. Places LIKE i think That Nem, Harney,

715
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:49,200
smith And sakham are pretty, guaranteed BUT i wouldn't be

716
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,200
surprised if the other two spots get an akled or

717
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,119
if they made a mid season trade that might lead

718
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,119
them to start somebody.

719
00:32:55,119 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: Else got to clear the runway For Johnny, FURPHY i

720
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,000
get it if it, justin CAN i get one More

721
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,920
clippers prediction from you for this coming? Season you could

722
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:12,160
take it whichever direction you. Want. Huh that's a tough.

723
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 26: One it's hard to make a prediction like kind of

724
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,960
like out of left field for, me.

725
00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:19,319
Speaker 1: BECAUSE i could be it could be as unbold as you.

726
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:21,039
Want AND i Just i'm looking for something other than

727
00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:23,880
maybe not maybe not fifty three, wins just anything from.

728
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:33,519
Speaker 26: THERE i think at the end of the, season, like

729
00:33:33,759 --> 00:33:35,599
no matter what happened in the playoffs with, THEM i

730
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:37,640
don't think this is the title, team but the crazier has.

731
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:42,240
Happened whatever happens at the end of the. Season at

732
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,920
the end of the this past, season a couple months,

733
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,759
ago when the season, ended the regular season was, OVER

734
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:48,960
i wrote an article saying The clippers were, right like

735
00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:51,759
a lot of people gave them crap for Letting Paul george,

736
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,680
walk which it was to be fair Though dan was

737
00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:59,039
fair because it didn't look like they had the means

738
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:01,599
to replace. Them now obs they, did they just didn't

739
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,400
wte people didn't.

740
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 27: THINK i think when we get to.

741
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 26: The end this, year.

742
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,639
Speaker 1: Even if they don't win the, title let's say they make.

743
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:13,639
Speaker 26: The playoffs losing hypothetically the second, round we might end

744
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,320
up looking back and just being, like this, TEAM i

745
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,360
think this would be their fifteenth straight winning season if it.

746
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: Happens oh, SHIT i didn't even realize.

747
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 23: That.

748
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 26: Wow, Yeah, LIKE i genuinely think people are gonna appreciate

749
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,039
a decade and a half of winning even without a,

750
00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:37,519
Title like fifteen straight years of winning seasons is, Crazy

751
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:38,719
and if they get, THERE.

752
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,039
Speaker 27: I hope people appreciate.

753
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:44,039
Speaker 26: It and so my bolt prediction is gonna be that

754
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:46,800
people will appreciate the fact, that, like you have this

755
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,679
team who is just not rolling over and just being, like,

756
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,239
hey it didn't go so well this. Era you know

757
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,920
we're gonna Do we're just gonna punt and tank and

758
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,519
see what happens AND i think there will be a

759
00:34:59,519 --> 00:35:03,159
greater siation for a team that just continually, tries BECAUSE

760
00:35:03,159 --> 00:35:06,079
i remember Those Dallas mavericks teams With. Dirk they could

761
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:08,679
have pivoted and, tanked and but they Want they just

762
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,719
kept year after year going until it finally. Worked AND

763
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,119
i think that's the beauty of, sports is continually just

764
00:35:18,039 --> 00:35:22,000
picking yourself up and, Going, okay we'll do it next.

765
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:24,519
Year we'll get him next, year like the Old Lovable, cubs,

766
00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:27,280
right like all the lovable, losers The Chicago. Cubs BUT

767
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:33,599
i remember what will always stick with me is Postgame

768
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,760
game seven In, denver in that locker, room and just

769
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,039
seeing the look on A Visa zubat's, face The Viza,

770
00:35:40,119 --> 00:35:43,639
Zubats god love. Him he's the longest tenured Active. Clipper

771
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:45,039
he's been here for a lot of.

772
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: Stuff most people wouldn't even think he, is but he.

773
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:51,039
Speaker 3: Is AND i just REMEMBER.

774
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 26: I saw how much it meant to him that they didn't,

775
00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:00,320
win and he just looked, exasperated and just like.

776
00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 27: You could see how much it affected.

777
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 26: Him and that's WHAT i keep going back, to is

778
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,199
we tend to think of, like, oh that guy's got

779
00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:16,360
to go to a different team because they're not, winning

780
00:36:16,559 --> 00:36:18,679
like they're not winning the, title so he has to

781
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,840
go find. Something but THEN i look at that zoo

782
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,320
that night and it kind of hit me, that, like

783
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,480
this is a guy who's in here for the long,

784
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,639
Haul like this is what it means to. Him it's

785
00:36:26,679 --> 00:36:30,079
not just oh okay and just moving. On it's, like,

786
00:36:31,039 --> 00:36:35,599
no we we should have, won and it's kind of

787
00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:38,400
shitty that we. Didn't AND i took it, personally and

788
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,599
NOW i look back at, Them i'm, like, yeah continually

789
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:46,280
trying to, win because even if you end the season

790
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,079
with that level of despair and like, heartbreak it's so

791
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:54,360
much better than just twenty five wins and, hey maybe

792
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,440
we'll get the ping pong ball to go our. Way

793
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,320
and then then you find Out dallas Gets cooper flag

794
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,239
and you're just, like, okay what was the point even you,

795
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:02,840
know so.

796
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: Part Of Nico harrison's.

797
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,039
Speaker 26: Plan then you hear, yeah, yeah because that was the, thing, right,

798
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,280
yeah the vision that left us all blind because no

799
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,159
one had the foresight to see.

800
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: That that was a.

801
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 26: Possible bit what they have like a one point eight percent,

802
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,960
chance like get out of.

803
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,559
Speaker 1: Here it's freaking. Ridiculous that just makes me.

804
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:26,519
Speaker 26: Mad Because dallas ended up Getting Paige beckers And Cooper

805
00:37:26,559 --> 00:37:30,679
flag and then they Traded Michael parsons because of course.

806
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: No, one no one In dallas can be.

807
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 26: Happy So Cooper, flag you got like five, years, Buddy

808
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:35,360
you'll be somewhere.

809
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,599

00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,159
Speaker 1: I got him at plus forty. Thousand it's THE i,

823
00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:19,800
mean there's the he's gonna get The lake thirty four

824
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,320
nationally televised, games, Right so if he plays well and

825
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,440
like a good amount of, those the voters will see.

826
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,039
It and there's a chance that his numbers just exploded

827
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:29,760
that would he be The i'm trying to think of

828
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,199
who's the last person that would Have he's kind of

829
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,599
at this career pinnacle shrinks down and then goes back

830
00:38:35,639 --> 00:38:37,039
and wins Most AND i don't know if that there's

831
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:40,079
that because normally the trajectory is it's the guy they,

832
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:42,639
want everyone wants to, identify like the next. Star it's

833
00:38:42,679 --> 00:38:45,360
never just, okay there it.

834
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 28: Is hold, On i'm gonna bring up the, list but

835
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:48,000
It's Julius.

836
00:38:48,039 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: Randall that, Ya, no it's absolutely, him that's. CORRECT i don't,

837
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,960
know you, know his pinnacle before that, though is never

838
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:56,519
eight in level, right because there was a point where

839
00:38:56,519 --> 00:38:58,559
people thought he was a top five. CENTER i don't

840
00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:01,000
think he ever, was but there was a point where

841
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:01,800
people felt.

842
00:39:01,519 --> 00:39:05,039
Speaker 29: That his expectations weren't quite the. Same BUT i would

843
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:07,719
say in terms of, effectiveness in terms of like what

844
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,400
they did out, there it was it was it was

845
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,199
close enough to where he's probably the best or most

846
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,239
likely you could, Say Lori. Markinen you know when he finally,

847
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,280
got you, know even more of an, opportunity we'll finally

848
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,360
stayed healthy enough to win it in twenty twenty.

849
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 28: Three but jew was probably the guy That, uh that

850
00:39:25,039 --> 00:39:26,440
fits the, Bill so there's.

851
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:32,159
Speaker 1: Precedent, Yep, keith before we let you, go could we

852
00:39:32,199 --> 00:39:35,239
get Another grizzlies prediction from you for this? Season it

853
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:42,440
can be whatever he wanted to. Be John conchar finally.

854
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,760
Traded John conchard just now finished the year on The.

855
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,000
Grizzlies spiciest prediction we've had. YET i think book at

856
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:54,760
this entire. Process, uh that'll be a that'll be a

857
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,199
somber day In memphis if he gets traded, Though, like

858
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,440
well they use the parent to get off his. Contract

859
00:39:59,519 --> 00:40:03,039
dur that gonna? Happen, yeah. Fabulous, sure let's they salaried

860
00:40:03,079 --> 00:40:04,800
up a player with picks and stretch a guy for

861
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:05,440
the third straight.

862
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,039
Speaker 3: Year let's do.

863
00:40:06,119 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 12: It how many first rounders do you think it would

864
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,920
take to Get Marcus smart?

865
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: Back is my real question under that new. CONTRACT i don't, know,

866
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,639
MAN i don't.

867
00:40:17,679 --> 00:40:22,079
Speaker 30: Know it's it's not it's not great when you send

868
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:25,199
away a contract with the eighteenth pick to salary dump

869
00:40:25,199 --> 00:40:28,559
it and then the guy gives a buy out to

870
00:40:28,599 --> 00:40:28,920
the new.

871
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:34,559
Speaker 1: Team The wizards did, witchcraft like with with their cap,

872
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,920
management and like the way they unloaded money and got

873
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,480
picks for, it and then those players less incredible work

874
00:40:39,519 --> 00:40:41,599
by The. Wizards, again it's easier to do that stuff

875
00:40:41,599 --> 00:40:44,599
when you're not trying to be. Good but, yeah.

876
00:40:44,599 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 12: Glad we circled back to praising shrewd financial.

877
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: Decisions it's that's, great that's. Right this is really our

878
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,880
brand around. Here do you have time to give me

879
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:56,400
one Additional heat prediction for this game? Season let's? Go, oh, Anything,

880
00:40:56,679 --> 00:40:57,760
yeah and it can be whatever you.

881
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 31: Want, oh the roster right now won't be the roster

882
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:02,440
at the end of the.

883
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:06,119
Speaker 1: Year but are we talking like closing unit edition or

884
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:08,679
are they selling someone that we're NOT i hate selling,

885
00:41:08,679 --> 00:41:11,039
people but trading like An Andrew wiggins to get back

886
00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:11,519
picks or.

887
00:41:11,559 --> 00:41:14,039
Speaker 31: Something it's a it was a little bit of a

888
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:16,480
fake prediction because they're a couple of million dollars over

889
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,280
the luxury, tax so they're just gonna get rid of

890
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,000
a salary to get Under but it might just be

891
00:41:21,039 --> 00:41:23,599
Waving preshousatua whose salary is not.

892
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:26,559
Speaker 1: Guaranteed but other than, that that's an easy.

893
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 32: One i'll give you something.

894
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: BETTER i think that somebody on The.

895
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,559
Speaker 31: Heat will finish on.

896
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 27: An ALL nba.

897
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,679
Speaker 1: Team, ooh there's is there more than two candidates for

898
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,119
that Because tyler honestly is there more Is tyler Herro

899
00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:49,599
aly gonna?

900
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:51,639
Speaker 14: QUALIFY i think it'll be.

901
00:41:51,679 --> 00:41:55,079
Speaker 1: BAM i mean THAT'S i, mean he's An ALL nba caliber.

902
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:58,000
Player SO i, dig this can be whatever you, Want

903
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:01,360
but COULD i get Mister tywindh of The eurostep podcast

904
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:08,880
one additional prediction for The Milwaukee bucks this? Season then.

905
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 33: Trying to think of how WHERE i want to, Go,

906
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:14,840
LIKE i don't think the HONEST mvp is fun. ENOUGH

907
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,599
i do think that's certainly in play depending on how

908
00:42:17,599 --> 00:42:22,920
many games he. Plays AND i guess where they top. Out,

909
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:28,920
OH i had a good. One i'll say they're going

910
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,840
to be a top five defense in the top ten.

911
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: Offense oh that's. SPICY i like.

912
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 34: It, yeah so that probably somewhere like like what probably

913
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,719
like a floor then of like seventh or eighth a

914
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,239
net which is, aggressive BUT i think The west being

915
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,079
so bunched will probably help them with.

916
00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:47,039
Speaker 1: That what's interesting when you say that IS i find

917
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,639
the top ten offense a shakier proposition than the top. Five,

918
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,880
yeah even THOUGH i good point, too and Say Orlando, Houston,

919
00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:57,960
Oksey SI's three of the top five defenses right, there,

920
00:42:58,039 --> 00:43:01,239
Right so it should just be that the that THE

921
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,079
u that is the spicier end of that. Prediction BUT

922
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,760
i think UNTIL i see like just what they look,

923
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,760
LIKE i mean With, giannis but also like during some

924
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,039
of the you don't Want gianni's playing thirty eight minutes a,

925
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:13,599
game so what's gonna happen during the you, know ten

926
00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:15,840
to fourteen minutes that he's off the floor per night

927
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,599
or whatever it ends up. BEING i like that that's

928
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:20,960
a good. SPIRIT i think that's the this is in

929
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,039
the all of the look Heads i've recorded so. Far

930
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,360
that's the spiciest one that we've, GOTTEN i think.

931
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 33: It and it's so database not amorphous. Too soone someone

932
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,559
can clearly laugh at me if they're like twentieth and,

933
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,840
Eighteenth they'm, like, oh remember they're gonna be top ten

934
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,840
and till. Five But i'm a believer of the honest.

935
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,559
Speaker 1: Teams so and then you need to hit them back

936
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:39,519
with when that person comes, out you got to isolate

937
00:43:39,519 --> 00:43:41,280
what everybody. Does it's, like, hey like there is this

938
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,599
twenty seven game stretch Like december Until february where they

939
00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:45,679
were the best offense in THE.

940
00:43:45,679 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 33: Nba portland And March Baby portland.

941
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: In March jail And green Post All Star. Break, also

942
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:52,760
the best head thic.

943
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 33: Are my favorite Is Cam. Thomas if you don't count

944
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,719
the point guards on the, nets assist numbers.

945
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,639
Speaker 1: Second one of my favorite class backs of a lot of.

946
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:03,840
Time it's, like if you count the guys who aren't

947
00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:07,360
who aren't, PASSERS i was the same best on the.

948
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,519
TEAR i love.

949
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 33: THAT i think more of us should be this positive

950
00:44:11,519 --> 00:44:13,760
about our own, performance like at the. Company if you

951
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,559
don't count any of these, Guys i'm so up there.

952
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: Calling confidence called, arrogance called or whatever you. WANT i want.

953
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,480
IT i want that kind of self. BELIEF i DON'T

954
00:44:22,599 --> 00:44:25,119
i don't care however you classify. It, finally Mister Kyle

955
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:27,480
tige of The Day MORE Nba, podcast CAN i get

956
00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:30,159
another prediction from? You you can take it in whatever

957
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,840
direction you, want but related to This wolves team next?

958
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,159
Speaker 10: Season?

959
00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:40,159
Speaker 35: Yeah oh, MAN I i like the. Terrence, gentleman you

960
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:41,800
kind of talked me off the. LEDGE i won't go

961
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,239
on To DraftKings and do a Terncetign junior Most improved

962
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:49,400
bet because he can't win. IT i would say that

963
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,480
there's a there's a chance that they don't have the

964
00:44:53,519 --> 00:44:57,119
same loaded sunt court at the trade deadline that they have,

965
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,119
Now LIKE i, Think Tim conley just constantly is trying

966
00:45:01,119 --> 00:45:04,360
to think one step. Ahead and again it was boring

967
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:05,400
for a lot of fans.

968
00:45:05,199 --> 00:45:06,679
Speaker 1: Because you like to go out and make those big.

969
00:45:06,679 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 35: Moves but they kept a lot of their, guys but

970
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,000
they kept them on WHAT i, think and you know

971
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:15,039
better THAN i, do good reasonable, Contracts Nasri Julius, rendall

972
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:18,519
A Rudy gobert all make solid amount of money.

973
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: That is very easily. Tradable it's not forty to fifty.

974
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,039
Speaker 35: Million and if this thing does stutter a little bit

975
00:45:24,159 --> 00:45:26,760
and you're trying to continue to bite at this proverbial,

976
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,079
apple and you have this kid In Anthey, Edwards you're

977
00:45:29,119 --> 00:45:30,639
not going to sit around and wait for it to

978
00:45:30,679 --> 00:45:32,679
fail multiple. Times you might try to get out in

979
00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:35,440
front of it before it. Fails SO i could see

980
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,880
them if it's you, know they're like you, said their

981
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,320
floor is. Six if they are the sixth seed come Early,

982
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,920
february maybe they make a big, splash which would shock

983
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,280
a lot of. People But Tim conley has shown you

984
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,480
in like three, years he's made two of the biggest

985
00:45:49,519 --> 00:45:52,039
trades IN nba. HISTORY i think he's got another one.

986
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: Coming CAN i get one Final pelkans predition From. Yushimidt

987
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,880
it can be for this coming, season it could be

988
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:58,880
wherever you want to take.

989
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:04,079
Speaker 36: It my Final appelicans prediction Is Willy greens fired Before.

990
00:46:04,159 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: Christmas it seems like fade a complete. ALMOST i feel

991
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,559
like they've set him up to fail because of their.

992
00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:15,039
Expectations THEN i know you said he's been mandated to be.

993
00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:17,119
THERE i also feel like that's never a good, recipe

994
00:46:17,199 --> 00:46:20,320
is to install a new leadership regime and not give

995
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,880
them say over the head, coach and you end up

996
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,599
in these situations then where you're getting rid of him

997
00:46:25,639 --> 00:46:27,840
at like the quarter season or the one third season.

998
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 36: Mark, yeah, LEGITIMATELY i think it's all like, financial like

999
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,159
financial lead driven oh, okay from, Ownerships LIKE i just

1000
00:46:36,199 --> 00:46:39,480
think ownership is very Much oh, wow we had to

1001
00:46:39,559 --> 00:46:44,840
get rid Of griff and these other executives. Swin there's

1002
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,599
so much money that we have to pay because of,

1003
00:46:46,639 --> 00:46:50,239
this and we're Paying joe a ton of. Man joe's

1004
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,840
contract is. Crazy they're Paying joe a ton of, money

1005
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,079
and so there's just, like, well if you get rid Of,

1006
00:46:55,079 --> 00:46:57,360
willie then we have to go through another, search and

1007
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,800
then you, know hire another guy that's going to potentially

1008
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,840
want more morning Than will he. Wanted willy is one

1009
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,400
of the cheaper coaches in THE, nba and SO i

1010
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,239
think it's just like keep him around and then if

1011
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,119
you got to fire, him we just slightly bump up

1012
00:47:13,159 --> 00:47:18,920
the interim and you, know, legitimately that's HOW i think

1013
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,960
they operate like, there AND i don't THINK i have

1014
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,960
been proven, wrong but we'll.

1015
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: See Andrew claudio Of Knicks Film, schools you answered the

1016
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,079
prediction question before we even like the additional prediction, question

1017
00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:30,719
before we've even got to.

1018
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 10: It so what do you put up your? Chest this

1019
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,400
should comes to no surprise to. ANYBODY i think The

1020
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,400
knicks are going to THE Nba finals this. YEAR i

1021
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:42,079
think now paths are different every. Season this is a.

1022
00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:46,119
Speaker 1: PRINCIPAL i personally believe in. TIBs like you.

1023
00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 10: Can't just, say, hey they made to the conference finals last,

1024
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,280
year so the next step is like The pacers are

1025
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:56,119
gone because Of, haliburton and like The celtics are gone

1026
00:47:56,119 --> 00:47:58,280
because Of, tatum so rearly The knicks should be the

1027
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,239
one to go, there, Right SO i have no idea

1028
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,280
What orlando could potentially be as a hindrance to. That

1029
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,679
atlanta is actually a team that scares me because they

1030
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,800
can do the thing that the knicks biggest weakness is really,

1031
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,679
well and it's defending pick and, roles especially if.

1032
00:48:16,559 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: They get any hint of help From.

1033
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 10: Porzingis BUT i think they have enough and there's enough

1034
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,280
guys there that are battle tested that you play enough

1035
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,840
playoff games, together you know how to get through certain

1036
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,519
situations that a lot of these younger teams just. Don't

1037
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,280
and when it comes to them Versus, CLEVELAND i like

1038
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,119
our guys better than their guys just don't know us

1039
00:48:37,159 --> 00:48:39,840
to say. IT i like The knick's ability to take

1040
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,480
advantage of the calves weakness weakness on the boards more

1041
00:48:43,519 --> 00:48:46,719
so than their ability to take advantage of the knicks

1042
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:48,639
biggest weaknesses.

1043
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,559
Speaker 1: In the pick and. Roll SO i haven't going through the.

1044
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:51,559
FINALS i have fifty.

1045
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 10: FIVE i believe it's a number of wins THAT i

1046
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:56,360
predicted for this season or picked for this.

1047
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 1: Season SO i have them hitting the over with the

1048
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,320
caveat and.

1049
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 10: This i'll wait for them for the the worry that

1050
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,960
could potentially come in a. Second but that's my that's

1051
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,920
my prediction for this, season they're going to the, finals

1052
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,679
they'll probably lose, it and then.

1053
00:49:14,039 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 1: They'll reassess in the. Offseason what were you saving the worry?

1054
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,280
For that was you answered the prediction question before we

1055
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,639
even like the additional prediction, question fore we even got to.

1056
00:49:23,639 --> 00:49:24,639
It so what do you think up your?

1057
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 10: Chest the nightmare scenario the absolute nightmare scenario for.

1058
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: ME i mentioned The. Hawks knicks wins sixty.

1059
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,119
Speaker 10: Games it's the most fun Any knicks fan has had

1060
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,199
watching a team, since like since two years. Ago but

1061
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,159
like now it's a sixty win. Team it's not just

1062
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,840
like This TIBs team that we all fell in love

1063
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,320
with because they tried harder than everybody, else, Right, like

1064
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,719
it's actually we're excited because they're winning every. Night they're

1065
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,239
going on ten and eleven game winning. Streaks the offense is,

1066
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,320
great is, great the vibes are. Immaculate brunson's a top

1067
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,920
FIVE mvp. Candidate two guys are ALL. Nba they sneak

1068
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:00,800
with a Third All.

1069
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: STAR i don't know.

1070
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 10: Who it will, be Probably yaboo after he's also at all

1071
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:05,239
defense Candidate all.

1072
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,639
Speaker 1: Defense first day right, deuces they still did, positions it'd

1073
00:50:08,679 --> 00:50:10,719
be at the guard spot, right like Dus is winning

1074
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,480
the three point contest.

1075
00:50:12,519 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 10: And after seeing so much vibe out and then and it's,

1076
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:17,599
like see didn't.

1077
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,639
Speaker 1: Need, tips you, know we got rid of.

1078
00:50:19,679 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 10: Them then they get to the playoffs that play the

1079
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,880
second round against The, hawks and their biggest problem during

1080
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,400
the playoffs slash year and a team can just pick

1081
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,599
On Karl Anthony, towns pick On Jalen. Bruntson It's Trey

1082
00:50:31,679 --> 00:50:35,039
young getting downhill doing whatever he wants against The, knicks

1083
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,639
and like, bitch because of his injury, history he's worn

1084
00:50:38,679 --> 00:50:40,920
down from playoff, time like a bad injury To mitch.

1085
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,280
Happens And Trey, young WHO i wanted to just on

1086
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,760
the record is eleven and twenty five in his career

1087
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,360
against The, knicks now actually gets to claim that he.

1088
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,199
Speaker 1: Dominates The knicks for his, Career LIKE i want to be,

1089
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,800
clear like eleven and twenty, one eleven and twenty, five

1090
00:50:58,800 --> 00:50:59,079
whatever it.

1091
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:01,559
Speaker 10: IS i know he gets seven regular season wins against

1092
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:03,800
The knicks in his, career but there's this one playoff

1093
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,440
series Where Julius randall and The house Of cards that That

1094
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,639
knicks team was like, collapsed and now he gets to

1095
00:51:09,679 --> 00:51:11,920
claim like he Owns Madison Square garden because of one

1096
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,079
playoff series and a in season tournament game that like

1097
00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:19,639
nobody cared. About now he actually has something to claim

1098
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,559
over The, knicks and it's that the year that they

1099
00:51:21,559 --> 00:51:24,679
won sixty games and this was supposed to be their,

1100
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,960
year he eliminated them in the second.

1101
00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:30,039
Speaker 1: Round and that is my biggest.

1102
00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:32,599
Speaker 10: Worry that it's a team like that that can take

1103
00:51:32,599 --> 00:51:36,760
advantage of the next biggest weekend weakness on, defense will

1104
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,639
exploit it for however many games in a playoff, series

1105
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:44,079
and then it's around earlier then they got eliminated last,

1106
00:51:44,159 --> 00:51:46,760
year which will bring the so why'd you get rid

1107
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,280
Of tibbs conversation all the way? Back, yeah so's it's

1108
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,639
it's my, nightmare to be completely. Honest it's the Thing

1109
00:51:53,679 --> 00:51:56,119
i've thought a lot about this offseason that if there's

1110
00:51:56,159 --> 00:51:59,920
a way this season goes catastrophically, wrong it's not even

1111
00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:02,519
like they win forty five games and it's not that.

1112
00:52:02,599 --> 00:52:04,039
Speaker 1: Good it's they're too good.

1113
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 10: In the regular season to create any, doubt and then

1114
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,760
come playoff, times we don't even get the matchup against The.

1115
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,239

Speaker 1: WOW i love THAT.

1147
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 22: I couldn't say that earlier BECAUSE i do think LIKE

1148
00:53:30,159 --> 00:53:32,840
i do stand by my question. Earlier we specifically asked

1149
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,800
that Question dan that it is going to. Change BUT

1150
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,280
i think when push comes to, SHOVE i think at

1151
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,079
that point of season another year development For Cason. WALLACE

1152
00:53:41,159 --> 00:53:43,639
i think he's going to be too important defensively and

1153
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,000
what he brings offensively as well to leave off the.

1154
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 9: Court, god this team just might be so.

1155

Speaker 7: Good they've been a GOOD Nba cup.

1189
00:55:15,119 --> 00:55:18,159
Speaker 23: Team they they when they finished their game in the

1190
00:55:18,159 --> 00:55:20,639
first the first year they finished their Their cup their

1191
00:55:20,639 --> 00:55:22,920
group games Against, boston they had like a twenty point.

1192
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,599
Lead boston Beat chicago by thirty, something With Joe miszula

1193
00:55:26,639 --> 00:55:28,440
Telling Billy donovan, LIKE i gotta win this game by

00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:32,199
thirty to. Advance last, year they had a thirty two

1197
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,559
orlando went To milwaukee and lost to the to the

1198
00:55:38,599 --> 00:55:41,360
EVENTUAL Nba Cup. Champions don't don't ever Say Damian lillard

1199
00:55:41,559 --> 00:55:45,199
didn't win anything In milwaukee lost the EVENTUAL Nba Cup

1200
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,079
champions in The. BUCKS i think The magic are going

1201
00:55:48,079 --> 00:55:50,119
To vegas at the very, least AND i think.

1202
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 7: They'll be in THE Nba Cup.

1203
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,079
Speaker 1: Final Ryan, deporak CAN i get one Additional sixers prediction

1204
00:55:55,159 --> 00:55:57,960
from you for this coming? Season it could be whatever

1205
00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:58,800
you would like.

1206
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:08,079
Speaker 11: Is my prediction is that they flirt with trading the

1207
00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:15,039
twenty twenty Eight flippers pick absolutely up the. Wall if

1208
00:56:15,079 --> 00:56:17,880
there is no way you could pry that pick for

1209
00:56:18,079 --> 00:56:21,760
my called dead hands until THE nba has ruled on

1210
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,159
aspirational one way or the.

1211
00:56:23,199 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: Other what would there's no? Like what would be a real?

1212
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,760
Like what is the bar for returning asset or player

1213
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,519
that would make you think about doing it right, Now let's,

1214
00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:36,960
say but we're before you could, say we know the

1215
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,880
investigation is going to last through The All star, bricks

1216
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,679
so past the trade deb, On so what is the

1217
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:42,800
type of plan you're not trading it?

1218
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 11: For Like, Atarsan, no no, Way, YEAH i Love, sorry

1219
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,280
don't get me, WRONG i would love him on the,

1220
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,320
sixers but especially now that he's set to get paid next.

1221
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:57,679
SUMMER i mean they're, like that's The clippers have a

1222
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,760
completely blank slate in twenty twenty seven and as of

1223
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,119
now other than The dubach and a couple guys on

1224
00:57:04,159 --> 00:57:06,679
their rookie scale, deals and that pick is in twenty twenty,

1225
00:57:06,679 --> 00:57:11,360
Eight and, YEAH i MEAN i would JUST i would

1226
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,639
have to see, it you, know if they like Put

1227
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,480
kawi's capit on the books through twenty twenty seven and

1228
00:57:17,519 --> 00:57:19,480
they could like recoup some of the money that he

1229
00:57:19,559 --> 00:57:22,639
got From, Aspiration like there's just no. WAY i think

1230
00:57:22,679 --> 00:57:26,079
that the disaster potential for The clippers is so high

1231
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,440
that it would have to be a, true a true difference,

1232
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:31,199
maker like.

1233
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: If it Was Paul george and the twenty twenty eight

1234
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:44,719
pick for a younger star who's on a cheaper contract, maybe, like.

1235
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,039
Speaker 11: BUT i don't Know lowry market and, yeah we're in

1236
00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:49,440
younger that was the name that you don't know THAT

1237
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,039
i would. DO i don't think That lowry's the. BAR

1238
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:54,719
i think it would have to be higher than. That

1239
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,880
Like i'd rather just eat The george contract and he is.

1240
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,760
THAT i, mean, look it might not work, out you,

1241
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,559
know it might end up being a mid to late

1242
00:58:03,559 --> 00:58:06,360
first round, pick but it is fully, unprotected like it

1243
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:07,760
has some jackpot up.

1244
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: Side so that's Not i'm trying To, YEAH i don't

1245
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,960
even see like a good beam that would be, uh

1246
00:58:16,039 --> 00:58:18,400
a metal ball doesn't make any sense for? You, There,

1247
00:58:19,639 --> 00:58:22,039
YEAH i got it is a crown. Jewel i'm just

1248
00:58:22,039 --> 00:58:23,760
trying to take a good player that would try to,

1249
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,960
like could it make you think about moving it right?

1250
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,800
Now that's not too outside The roman. Possibility and then

1251
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,199
also a lot of the ones that are springing to

1252
00:58:30,239 --> 00:58:32,239
mind for me are just big, men and that's not

1253
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:33,199
what you're gonna be looking.

1254
00:58:33,239 --> 00:58:37,239
Speaker 11: For, yeah Here Jimmy, Butler Paul george and the pick

1255
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:41,519
For Jimmy Butler. Pete really it's MAID i wouldn't do

1256
00:58:41,559 --> 00:58:44,280
it Like i'd rather again just eat eat the extra.

1257
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: Year, NO i think for an aging star that makes total.

1258
00:58:46,519 --> 00:58:48,719
SENSE i wouldn't do. THAT i wouldn't do that. Either

1259
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,119
what about it's still Big Anthony.

1260
00:58:51,199 --> 00:58:54,679
Speaker 2: Davis Pair Anthony davis With Joel. Embiid oh, yeah well

1261
00:58:55,079 --> 00:58:56,960
just what they need another injury from Big?

1262
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 16: Man that sounds.

1263
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,199
Speaker 1: Great what ABOUT i don't know why they were Tripped

1264
00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:04,239
memphis tears it Down Jared Jackson? Junior is that can't you? Thinking?

1265
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:08,239
Speaker 11: NO i mean you want another wing if? Anything and

1266
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:12,239
that LIKE i just Tray murphy In New. Orleans, okay

1267
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,239
now we're. Talking, Okay, NOW i don't think they're going

1268
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:16,559
to trade. HIM i think he's might not like the

1269
00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:18,440
single most important player in the building where.

1270
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,239
Speaker 1: You should one would.

1271
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:21,719
Speaker 2: Hope but, yeah, yeah.

1272
00:59:21,599 --> 00:59:24,119
Speaker 1: Okay what what if The knicks decide to posit IS O?

1273
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,679

1277
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,599
Speaker 11: BRIDGES i, honestly, WELL i would love Mcal bridges, back but,

1278
00:59:38,599 --> 00:59:41,559
NO i would, not not.

1279
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:42,039
Speaker 27: Not until we add.

1280
00:59:42,039 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 11: Clarity once we have clarity that pick might be up for,

1281
00:59:45,239 --> 00:59:48,960
grabs but not until we know the scope of What

1282
00:59:49,039 --> 00:59:50,480
Adam silver is about to do to that.

1283
00:59:50,519 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: Team, So mike And, sam CAN i get one Additional

1284
00:59:55,159 --> 00:59:57,519
son's prediction from you for this coming, season cause you

1285
00:59:57,519 --> 00:59:59,719
could take it wherever you, want AND i will Let mike.

1286
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 37: Start, oh one additional prediction for The. SUNS i will,

1287
01:00:04,519 --> 01:00:08,559
SAY i don't think they're gonna have any stories about

1288
01:00:08,559 --> 01:00:10,880
the team being unhappy with the coach this year for

1289
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:11,760
the first time in four.

1290
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,519
Speaker 1: Years so that's that's my.

1291
01:00:13,639 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 37: PREDICTION i think there's a chance that this coach survives

1292
01:00:17,159 --> 01:00:19,280
and it's not just another guy who's fired by the

1293
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,280
end of the. SEASON i. MIX i think there's a

1294
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,280
chance that that people are talking About jordan not in

1295
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,000
a really positive way at some point of this. Season

1296
01:00:27,039 --> 01:00:27,639
so that's gonna be my.

1297
01:00:27,679 --> 01:00:28,639
Speaker 1: Predictions jordan not.

1298
01:00:28,719 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 32: Related So i'll go ahead and, YEAH i, mean they're

1299
01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:34,360
very much just a team in. Flux we all know,

1300
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,639
That So i'll go ahead and say. That you, know

1301
01:00:36,639 --> 01:00:38,159
they made a lot of moves at this, point but

1302
01:00:38,199 --> 01:00:40,199
they're not. DONE i think there's gonna be some movement

1303
01:00:40,239 --> 01:00:43,719
here at the, deadline probably in a boring, way though

1304
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,159
not in like an exciting for you, know this would

1305
01:00:46,199 --> 01:00:49,119
suck for, me but for other people they hear that and, say,

1306
01:00:49,119 --> 01:00:51,280
Oh Devin booker's on the trade. Block Like Devin booker's

1307
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,480
on the trade. Block but there might be A royce O'Neil,

1308
01:00:53,519 --> 01:00:55,719
deal there might be A Grayson allen. Deal there might

1309
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,840
be something, interesting mildly interesting that happens In.

1310
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: February for, sure they, are as we record, this like

1311
01:01:02,039 --> 01:01:05,039
two hundred and seventy three thousand dollars into the tax

1312
01:01:05,119 --> 01:01:07,119
and they are absolutely not staying. There SO i would

1313
01:01:07,119 --> 01:01:09,079
echo that there's going to be some type of, trade

1314
01:01:09,159 --> 01:01:10,559
even if it's super super.

1315
01:01:10,599 --> 01:01:13,559
Speaker 37: Tiny it's as simple as Just butler Or Jordan goodwin

1316
01:01:13,679 --> 01:01:15,920
being waived. Too so one of those two guys is

1317
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,280
probably not going to be on the roster at some

1318
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:17,639
point this.

1319
01:01:17,719 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 2: Season they HAVE i thought they.

1320
01:01:19,199 --> 01:01:21,679
Speaker 1: Only had fourteen, players or Maybe i'm miscounted.

1321
01:01:21,559 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 37: THEY i think they're going to go into the season

1322
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,800
with fourteen. Players that's my anticipation because that's the easiest

1323
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,840
way unless they make a move just as they're, saying,

1324
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,599
damp but the easiest way for them to get into

1325
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:34,360
the TAX i believe is if they just don't roster all,

1326
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,239
fifteen which.

1327
01:01:36,079 --> 01:01:36,639
Speaker 3: They did last.

1328
01:01:36,679 --> 01:01:41,719
Speaker 1: Year uh they rostered what the year fourteen? Players? Yeah,

1329
01:01:42,039 --> 01:01:44,400
Yeah i'll start with you for this, One. Tara COULD

1330
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,480
i get one additional prediction about this team for this?

1331
01:01:47,559 --> 01:01:48,920
Season you could take it wherever you.

1332
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 23: Want i'll just reiterate What i've been saying this whole

1333
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,880
time IS i Think scoot is going to show.

1334
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Growth he's gonna respond to the pressure, well and he's

1335
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,559
going to show. Growth how about, You, Ros do you

1336
01:01:59,599 --> 01:02:00,880
have any other predictions for this?

1337
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 2: TEAM i Think timani stays hot from.

1338
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,079
Speaker 1: THREE a lot of people have wondered.

1339
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,239
Speaker 38: Whether that's that that's, real you, know because it was

1340
01:02:09,239 --> 01:02:09,800
such a huge.

1341
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,679
Speaker 9: LEAP i think he stays hot from.

1342
01:02:11,719 --> 01:02:15,639
Speaker 38: THREE i think he's somebody WHEN i see him put

1343
01:02:15,639 --> 01:02:19,480
his nose, down he's somebody who wants it, bad like

1344
01:02:19,559 --> 01:02:22,519
he's he's working, hard and SO i think that he

1345
01:02:22,599 --> 01:02:24,599
stays hot from. Three and he also adds something else

1346
01:02:24,639 --> 01:02:26,519
really surprising to his game this year that we don't

1347
01:02:26,559 --> 01:02:27,199
even know what it is.

1348
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: Yet you know what's funny IS i had more questions, about, like,

1349
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,280
oh is he just gonna shoot five threes or? More

1350
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,239
game all, That LIKE i had more questions about, him

1351
01:02:36,239 --> 01:02:40,039
like doubling up on the volume relative to the. Efficiency it's,

1352
01:02:40,039 --> 01:02:41,719
LIKE i don't even know how big of a question

1353
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,960
that is still for. Me BUT i don't want to

1354
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,840
SAY i think he's a capslock. Shooter BUT i just

1355
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:47,840
didn't look at The what was he at thirty seven

1356
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,880
thirty seventy? Five, YEAH i didn't look at that and was, like,

1357
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,039
oh that's it was The for some, reason it was

1358
01:02:53,039 --> 01:02:55,079
the volume that stood out to, me AND i was just, like, huh,

1359
01:02:55,119 --> 01:02:56,400
So i'm gonna be curious to see if he even

1360
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,360
has room to, like can we get him over five

1361
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,960
attempts per? Game because, again if he's making them even

1362
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,920
at a league average, clip that helps open up the

1363
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,960
floor for all their other. Guys my final question to

1364
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,920
you would, be CAN i get one Additional king's prediction from?

1365
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:13,639
You you could take it wherever you would. Like one

1366
01:03:13,679 --> 01:03:20,079
Additional king's. PREDICTION i will predict that they almost make

1367
01:03:20,119 --> 01:03:23,199
a big trade at the. Deadline you, know we'll hear

1368
01:03:23,239 --> 01:03:27,239
all about or a. Seller oh if we'll hear, yeah,

1369
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,440
well we'll hear all about the trade that they're working,

1370
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:35,320
on and then it Won't it won't, happen so they'll pivot. Prediction,

1371
01:03:37,159 --> 01:03:39,360
well it be a buyer or a seller that we'll hear.

1372
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,440
About oh, DEFINITELY i mean.

1373
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:44,639
Speaker 5: Both they'll be trying to get off those their contracts

1374
01:03:44,639 --> 01:03:48,800
they don't like for someone they can't get without giving

1375
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:49,400
up anything.

1376
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Else so sounds about. Right So, noah, finally COULD i

1377
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,639
get one Other spurs prediction from you for this coming?

1378
01:03:56,679 --> 01:03:58,360
Season it could be whatever you want it to.

1379
01:03:58,400 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 10: Be.

1380
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 24: Yeah, WELL I i look at the roster and there

1381
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,280
just seem to be like a lot of expendable contracts

1382
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,000
and maybe they're saving up for a big free agency.

1383
01:04:07,039 --> 01:04:09,960
Move San antonio has never been a free agency, destination

1384
01:04:10,079 --> 01:04:11,320
perhaps all changes.

1385
01:04:11,119 --> 01:04:14,039
Speaker 1: Agency destination, anymore because free agency doesn't even find Doesn't,

1386
01:04:14,079 --> 01:04:16,000
yeah it feels like yeah.

1387
01:04:15,599 --> 01:04:20,039
Speaker 24: Yeah LIKE i and AND i kind of feel like

1388
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,280
maybe this is and this is this can be my bold.

1389
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 27: PREDICTION i don't even know that this is going to.

1390
01:04:24,039 --> 01:04:29,119
Speaker 24: Happen but With Jake fisher kind of reporting that they

1391
01:04:29,119 --> 01:04:31,800
were inquiring About Trey, murphy the third, LIKE i feel

1392
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,119
like they have THE ammo to go get a.

1393
01:04:34,159 --> 01:04:36,159
Speaker 27: Player who is that?

1394
01:04:36,199 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 24: PLAYER i don't, know but if someone is up on

1395
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,000
the market and someone who they think can legitimately push

1396
01:04:43,039 --> 01:04:47,239
their their playoff hopes and their playoff may even title aspirations.

1397
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 27: WHATEVER a little bit, FURTHER i would not be surprised.

1398
01:04:50,039 --> 01:04:52,239
Speaker 24: If The spurs just kind of like unloaded the chamber

1399
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,679
and or like, here here are some, assets because they

1400
01:04:54,679 --> 01:04:59,000
can't hold onto all their picks. Forever and, look this

1401
01:04:59,039 --> 01:05:01,760
is kind of treading old, territory old ground with The.

1402
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,079
Spurs but like so many players with The spurs have

1403
01:05:05,159 --> 01:05:07,360
come through here and they're, like, oh they might get.

1404
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,119
Traded they might get, traded like they don't have a

1405
01:05:09,159 --> 01:05:11,760
future In San, antonio and then it's like, nope they

1406
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:16,079
just waste away until they're no longer useful and now

1407
01:05:16,079 --> 01:05:18,559
they have no trade value and all, right see you.

1408
01:05:18,679 --> 01:05:21,480
Later SO i think The spurs would be wise to

1409
01:05:21,519 --> 01:05:24,320
capitalize on trade values of. Guys and again there's a

1410
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,639
lot of overlaps skill, wise positional, Wise LIKE i think

1411
01:05:27,679 --> 01:05:30,480
it would make sense for them to go trade for.

1412
01:05:30,599 --> 01:05:32,960
Someone and THAT'S i, mean every fan feels that. Way

1413
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,119
every you, know it's like they gotta go trade for a.

1414
01:05:35,119 --> 01:05:38,079
Superstar BUT i think The spurs are particularly suited to

1415
01:05:38,239 --> 01:05:41,000
go make a trade if something like that was to

1416
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:41,440
fall in their.

1417
01:05:41,519 --> 01:05:43,639
Speaker 1: Laps i'd agree with. You look at the same thing

1418
01:05:43,639 --> 01:05:46,159
you're saying about players apply applies to. Picks like Those

1419
01:05:46,159 --> 01:05:49,719
Atlanta hawks selections eighteen months ago or twelve months ago

1420
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,440
looked Like crown. Jewels, yeah now what they did this?

1421
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,119
Offseason they don't look as, hot is there? Us so

1422
01:05:55,159 --> 01:05:57,199
if you're looking from The, SPURS i Think Trey murphy

1423
01:05:57,199 --> 01:05:59,920
would be a great. Fit but is there an archetype

1424
01:06:00,199 --> 01:06:02,440
player or even a position That, okay you have your

1425
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,199
one in your five lockdown In fox And, Wemby like

1426
01:06:05,239 --> 01:06:07,320
where are you if you want them or not want?

1427
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:10,199
Them if they're making a big, trade what type of

1428
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:14,599
player is the priority to. Acquire, yeah that's a tough.

1429
01:06:14,599 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 24: One that is a tough. QUESTION i, REALLY i, MEAN

1430
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,480
i really Like Trey. MURPHY i think he's kind of

1431
01:06:20,519 --> 01:06:22,639
the archetype that you should be looking. For a guy

1432
01:06:22,639 --> 01:06:26,199
who's a bigger, wing not necessarily like the best self,

1433
01:06:26,239 --> 01:06:30,159
creator but like can take advantage of. Mismatches is an

1434
01:06:30,159 --> 01:06:34,960
elite spot up, shooter is an elite movement shooter plus,

1435
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,840
defender and a guy who is not just a, Shooter

1436
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,320
LIKE i think we think of him mostly as a,

1437
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,519
shooter but he's a great athlete, too like he's he,

1438
01:06:42,519 --> 01:06:44,800
Can he's, yeah he, can he can.

1439
01:06:44,719 --> 01:06:45,159
Speaker 27: Get off the.

1440
01:06:45,159 --> 01:06:48,159
Speaker 24: Floor good cutter as, well like a guy who doesn't

1441
01:06:48,199 --> 01:06:51,039
necessarily need the ball in his. Hands like one of

1442
01:06:51,079 --> 01:06:53,679
the guys WHO i really liked for The spurs before

1443
01:06:53,719 --> 01:06:56,239
the you know the trade happened with The, nuggets Was Cam.

1444
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 27: JOHNSON i really Like Cam.

1445
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,239
Speaker 24: JOHNSON i think a guy like, that like On Mychael

1446
01:07:00,239 --> 01:07:03,440
Porter junior even like those kind of guys like those

1447
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,079
are the kind of guys THAT i would be looking,

1448
01:07:05,079 --> 01:07:07,079
for not someone who needs the ball in their, hands

1449
01:07:07,079 --> 01:07:09,239
not someone who you're asking to go get a, shot

1450
01:07:09,559 --> 01:07:11,880
because The spurs have quite a few of those guys

1451
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,719
right now at that.

1452
01:07:13,719 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 27: Guard position at. Least i'm looking for a bigger wing like.

1453
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,199
Speaker 1: That what, if, WELL i have to ask, him what

1454
01:07:20,239 --> 01:07:22,800
if one Of yannis Or Anthony davis becomes? Available the

1455
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,280
players that intrigue you as a, Spursman.

1456
01:07:25,519 --> 01:07:27,599
Speaker 27: YEAH i Mean yannis would definitely intrigue.

1457
01:07:27,599 --> 01:07:31,719
Speaker 24: Me Anthony davis not as, much just given the injury,

1458
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:35,719
history given the, age AND i Know jannis is no

1459
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,519
longer like super young, anymore LIKE i think he's thirty,

1460
01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:42,440
now But jannis is still you, know for the most,

1461
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,400
part you can count on him to be healthy pretty

1462
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,719
much all. Season he doesn't miss a ton of, Games

1463
01:07:47,239 --> 01:07:49,960
and even though it might be you'd have to figure

1464
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,239
out how to make it work with spacing, wise for,

1465
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,519
SURE i don't know that you could pass up on

1466
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,519
a generational talent who is still very much in the

1467
01:07:57,599 --> 01:07:58,320
in the center of his.

1468
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,119
Speaker 27: Prime so would be very much interested In.

1469
01:08:01,199 --> 01:08:03,079
Speaker 1: YANNIS i figured you would. BE i was just curious

1470
01:08:03,079 --> 01:08:04,760
because we harped on this. Spasing BUT i think that's

1471
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,199
the one of the values Of wemby where you might

1472
01:08:07,199 --> 01:08:09,079
get if some people want him to take few or.

1473
01:08:09,079 --> 01:08:11,519
Threes the fact that he can play offense the way

1474
01:08:11,519 --> 01:08:14,199
that he has so, far you can slot literally anybody

1475
01:08:14,239 --> 01:08:16,439
next to him in the front, court and that's just hugely.

1476
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 24: Valuable, also could you imagine like A Wemby yannis pick

1477
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,680
and roll or A Yannis wimby pick and, Roll like

1478
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:27,319
that would be, Insane like that would be like just bat,

1479
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:29,560
shit that would be, crazy and that'd be Something i'd

1480
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:29,840
be there.

1481
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: For, YEAH i, mean aside For bucks fans who. Wouldn't, Right,

1482
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,720
so COULD i get one Additional raptors prediction from you

1483
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:39,600
for this? Season could be whatever you want it to.

1484
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:44,199
Speaker 39: Be m OH i made this one on Our awards,

1485
01:08:44,239 --> 01:08:47,119
Draft Brandon Ingram Clutch player of The. YEAR i think

1486
01:08:47,159 --> 01:08:50,279
it's actually not that bad because they need all the

1487
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:52,159
possessions at the end of games to go to one.

1488
01:08:52,199 --> 01:08:55,840
Place AND i think they're a grimy team that's going

1489
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,039
to play in a lot of close. GAMES i Think

1490
01:08:58,039 --> 01:09:01,039
Brandon ingram is going to have plenty of volume to

1491
01:09:01,199 --> 01:09:05,199
try and win this, award and, uh that's those are

1492
01:09:05,199 --> 01:09:07,000
the guys who win, it are the guys who get the.

1493
01:09:07,079 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 15: Volume so that would be a fun.

1494
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: One and he is just the time BECAUSE i think

1495
01:09:12,039 --> 01:09:14,239
some people when you look at name recognition or importance

1496
01:09:14,279 --> 01:09:16,199
to the team's, future it's, well why Isn't? Scottie but

1497
01:09:16,239 --> 01:09:18,479
it's Just Brendon ingram's. Game is that's the type of

1498
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,720
guy you go to exactly the close.

1499
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:22,600
Speaker 16: Ones, yeah that would be a fun.

1500
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: One that's a. MAN A Clutch player of The year,

1501
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:29,520
prediction like within where the regular season even. STARTS i respect.

1502
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:34,880
That CAN i get one additional prediction from you about

1503
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,600
The jazz for this coming? Season you could take it

1504
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:37,319
wherever you want to.

1505
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:42,560
Speaker 8: Go, YEAH i MEAN I i've got a lot of

1506
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:49,720
worries about This Walker kessler, Thing AND i, MEAN i,

1507
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,159
guess like there's no way that anyone can really like

1508
01:09:53,199 --> 01:09:55,760
predict how that's going to end, up, Right but LIKE

1509
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,199
i guess my prediction would just, be like THE i

1510
01:10:00,279 --> 01:10:01,760
don't think that he's going to be on The, jazz

1511
01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:06,000
whether that's going to be like through a trade or

1512
01:10:06,039 --> 01:10:12,800
after LIKE rfa. OPENS i just think that it's just

1513
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,279
not going to end the way that The jazz wanted.

1514
01:10:14,359 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 1: To that's that's a good. Prediction you just so rarely

1515
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:22,560
see guys who are worth a damn on their rookie

1516
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:26,000
scales get moved like, that like, it especially when they're

1517
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,840
like two or three years deep into their tenure with the.

1518
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:30,199
Team it's not like a pre like they were drafted

1519
01:10:30,239 --> 01:10:32,840
and got immediately traded for a star or. Something but

1520
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,960
he's been in like trade rumors since basically it feels

1521
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,000
like almost day one at this point to where it's, like, oh,

1522
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,560
well The lakers give up two first round picks For

1523
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,039
Walker kessler's like the right everybody goes back to.

1524
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,079
Speaker 8: Well LIKE i think that like once we actually start

1525
01:10:44,079 --> 01:10:46,159
to get To, february, right like The jazz are going

1526
01:10:46,199 --> 01:10:48,399
to have like the the decision that The jazz are

1527
01:10:48,399 --> 01:10:49,640
going to have to make is, Like, okay are we

1528
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,960
willing what offers are we willing to match up? To

1529
01:10:52,159 --> 01:10:53,720
like they're going to have to decide on like what

1530
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,640
the level is that they're willing to go to just

1531
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,399
in case someone offers more than they think is actually

1532
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,319
going to come, in or do we want to like

1533
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,159
move now and take whatever assets we can get out

1534
01:11:05,159 --> 01:11:08,359
of this, situation like because there is risk here for The,

1535
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:13,760
jazz and so it feels like in order to like

1536
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:15,840
mitigate some of the risks that they might just have

1537
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:16,920
to like take a leap.

1538
01:11:17,079 --> 01:11:20,560
Speaker 1: Early, man IF i were, THEM i would keep. HIM

1539
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,920
i just. Don't, yeah absolute such a. Dud, yeah that

1540
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:25,880
who's Come and you have some other centers that might

1541
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:27,800
be available that teams will go, after but they're they

1542
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,439
all seem. Scared the last offer, SHEET i don't know

1543
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,279
if you remember this to actually go out In strictfferree

1544
01:11:32,279 --> 01:11:34,760
agency was when The jazz did it to The philadelphia

1545
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,920
seventy six Y, Yeah, Paul, Yeah and So i'd probably

1546
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:39,800
let it. Ride but to your, point like that there is,

1547
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,640
risk like if someone comes in with an offer or

1548
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,720
if they try to you, know, like look at what

1549
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,600
happened this year with those four, guys how those negotiations?

1550
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,279
Unfolded do The jazz have the good will built up

1551
01:11:49,319 --> 01:11:51,439
With Walker kessler at this point to navigate that when

1552
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,279
you look at the quote that he had on.

1553
01:11:53,319 --> 01:11:55,239
Speaker 8: Media deack AND i don't think they. DO i don't

1554
01:11:55,239 --> 01:11:57,279
think that there's like good will there. Where LIKE i

1555
01:11:57,319 --> 01:12:00,439
think THAT i think That Walker kessler Loves. WILL i

1556
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,199
think That Walker kestler loves his, teammates AND i think

1557
01:12:03,239 --> 01:12:06,079
that there's a lot of love lost Between Walker, kestler

1558
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,800
his camp and The jazz front, office and so like

1559
01:12:10,079 --> 01:12:13,399
where is the goodwill? There like do The jazz actually

1560
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,920
have any goodwill leverage that they can lean on at this?

1561
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:20,000
Point And i'm not really. Sure and THEN i, mean

1562
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,479
this is a question Like i've been asking everyone WHEN

1563
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,439
i talk to him about like the jazz roster, is

1564
01:12:25,199 --> 01:12:27,479
how much would you Pay Walker kesler per?

1565
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:32,239
Speaker 1: YEAR i probably wouldn't, flinch like up until like twenty

1566
01:12:32,279 --> 01:12:34,279
seven twenty eight, Million i'm not, flinching.

1567
01:12:34,279 --> 01:12:36,560
Speaker 8: Okay and, like so if you're The jazz and someone

1568
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,560
comes in and offers like thirty two thirty, four are

1569
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:39,239
you willing to match?

1570
01:12:39,279 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: That Why. Yeah the problem is that if you let

1571
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,840
you can't let him walk for. Nothing so, yeah you

1572
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,000
would if like you let him get THE, rfa you do,

1573
01:12:46,079 --> 01:12:46,479
that and.

1574
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,279
Speaker 8: Then at that, point it's, like why didn't you sign something?

1575
01:12:49,319 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: Now? Right, Like i'd be curious what he'd be willing

1576
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,239
to sign for, now BECAUSE i have to think they

1577
01:12:54,399 --> 01:12:56,600
least it wasn't LIKE i know as cap hold as

1578
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,439
what like fourteen and a half million or whatever it.

1579
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,840
IS i think if you were gonna accept like, twenty

1580
01:13:01,159 --> 01:13:03,239
it would probably be a done deal by. Now it,

1581
01:13:03,399 --> 01:13:05,760
was so he's probably looking for like what you like

1582
01:13:06,119 --> 01:13:06,560
close to.

1583
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,079
Speaker 8: Thirty, Yeah and so THEN i, wonder, like is there

1584
01:13:10,119 --> 01:13:11,960
a team out there that's gonna be willing to go

1585
01:13:12,159 --> 01:13:14,520
upwards that because their needs are so?

1586
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:18,119
Speaker 1: GREAT i, mean The hornets like just don't even have

1587
01:13:18,159 --> 01:13:22,119
a center right. Now but but there's also Like Mitchell,

1588
01:13:22,199 --> 01:13:26,119
Robinson Christops. Porzingis Jalen duran's also a free. Agent Mark

1589
01:13:26,119 --> 01:13:28,479
williams doesn't really, play so we probably shouldn't Count Robert

1590
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,319
williams doesn't really. PLAY i like The jazz's best bet

1591
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,039
might be If Jalen duran comes to an agreement With

1592
01:13:34,079 --> 01:13:37,520
detroit and it's like a very modest, number and then

1593
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,720
like that might Give walker kest to like a window

1594
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,479
into like what he can expect when you get to the,

1595
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,600
market BECAUSE i don't know these big who AREN'T i

1596
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,159
don't want to, say the focal point of your, offense

1597
01:13:46,199 --> 01:13:48,800
but aren't supposed to be like your best or second

1598
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,439
best player on the. TEAM i don't know which teams

1599
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,439
are gonna come in like noticeably above the mid level.

1600
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:55,880
Exception it's not.

1601
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 8: Even like not even like best or second best, player

1602
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,880
like most paid aid or second most.

1603
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: Paid, right is it like there's certain teams in the

1604
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,600
situation to Where, yeah it's that's what makes his case so.

1605
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,119
Tough but he. Doesn't like WHEN i saw the quote

1606
01:14:09,119 --> 01:14:11,199
from either your story or your skeeed on, IT i

1607
01:14:11,239 --> 01:14:13,640
was just, like DID i didn't see him say? It

1608
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,119
did it like sound as bad as it? Looked?

1609
01:14:16,239 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 8: Odd it sounded worse than it looked on the. Screen,

1610
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:22,760
yeah he, was, like he was, like, LISTEN i don't

1611
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,960
want to talk about this past. TODAY i don't want

1612
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,520
it to be a distraction for the. TEAM i don't

1613
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:31,760
want to distract. Me but like that being, SAID i am,

1614
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:37,279
frustrated and like he kind of stumbled around some words

1615
01:14:37,279 --> 01:14:40,520
after that and was, like you, know if it gets done,

1616
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:41,680
Whatever i'm.

1617
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Frustrated. Wow, Yeah so it was like.

1618
01:14:45,159 --> 01:14:48,079
Speaker 8: THAT i think that they, there AND i think it

1619
01:14:48,159 --> 01:14:50,920
was said with. PURPOSE i don't think that like he

1620
01:14:51,159 --> 01:14:54,640
was in the moment reacting to that. QUESTION i think

1621
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,720
that prior to Media, day he knew the question was

1622
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:02,039
going to be, asked and he purposefully wanted everyone to

1623
01:15:02,159 --> 01:15:03,479
know that he was not.

1624
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 1: HAPPY i also, think despite his, request that it's probably

1625
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,119
gonna come up. Again that's my that's my hot. TACHES

1626
01:15:10,159 --> 01:15:10,920
i think it might come up.

1627
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:15,239
Speaker 8: Again, YEAH i think. YEAH i can't imagine that all

1628
01:15:15,279 --> 01:15:17,720
of us reporters are going to be, like you know,

1629
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,000
what that's a good. Point, no, thanks don't need to

1630
01:15:20,159 --> 01:15:21,920
don't need to know how you're feeling about this right.

1631
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:26,359
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah so CAN i get one additional wizard's prediction from?

1632
01:15:26,359 --> 01:15:29,479
You matt. Mcderno it could be anything that you want

1633
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:31,720
to take this wherever you want to. Go kind of

1634
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:32,199
already said.

1635
01:15:32,199 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 40: It i'm really expecting A Keishaan George bump that that

1636
01:15:37,039 --> 01:15:39,880
to me feels like a guy that's gonna have enough

1637
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,720
opportunity and the skill set is there of somebody that

1638
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,239
like they, will they will give him chances as a

1639
01:15:45,279 --> 01:15:48,439
guy who can, pass, rebleshoot and and will put an

1640
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:50,960
effort defensively and get a bunch of steals and some

1641
01:15:51,079 --> 01:15:53,199
runouts that will kind of maybe sneak his way up

1642
01:15:53,239 --> 01:15:56,640
into more points per game than people. Think and if

1643
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,479
Cool balie can stay healthy and do WHAT i THINK

1644
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,920
i can, do like if if he were in like

1645
01:16:02,159 --> 01:16:04,560
could he make second Team All defense at the end

1646
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,600
of the year conversations at least that wouldn't shock me.

1647
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,079
Speaker 1: EITHER i do wonder might be overthinking it when you

1648
01:16:11,119 --> 01:16:14,000
Mentioned Keishaw, george how we feel About alex are Cool?

1649
01:16:14,039 --> 01:16:17,840
Bali there's like a chance that they're kind of like

1650
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,840
the Way portland last, year like the flip the script

1651
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,239
flipped for them defensively and they were all like one

1652
01:16:24,239 --> 01:16:25,840
of the best defense in the league for a really long.

1653
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,560
Period does that team have this potential or is it

1654
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,840
just they at least Had clinging And kamara as a friggin,

1655
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,359
Beast BUT i Mean KAMAR i got all defense consideration

1656
01:16:35,359 --> 01:16:37,800
of Cool bali gets. IT i wonder if this team

1657
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:41,479
has That portland does have a lot more size when

1658
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,199
you're looking at like what they were running with their

1659
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:46,119
Big matt rotation. THOUGH i Think Jeffy grant can't rebound,

1660
01:16:46,119 --> 01:16:47,520
though and he played a lot of, minutes so there's.

1661
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 40: That, yeah he Had denny out there and things like that,

1662
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,319
Too and like there's just a few more GUYS i

1663
01:16:53,319 --> 01:16:55,479
think that are ahead of where those guys are on The.

1664
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,720
WIZARDS i could see that two seasons from now when

1665
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,159
they put a few more pieces on their roster to

1666
01:17:00,199 --> 01:17:03,199
like not even try to take that. Jump they're just

1667
01:17:03,239 --> 01:17:05,640
ready to do. It so this, YEAR i just don't

1668
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,319
think this front office will let. THEM i think they,

1669
01:17:08,359 --> 01:17:11,159
know like the twenty twenty six draft is just like

1670
01:17:11,319 --> 01:17:14,279
objectively going to be better than the twenty twenty seven,

1671
01:17:14,359 --> 01:17:16,199
draft and they don't want to be bad again in

1672
01:17:16,239 --> 01:17:19,399
twenty twenty, seven so, like just fully commit to being

1673
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,720
bad this year no matter. What get your top three

1674
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,920
or four, guy and then like we're talking about the

1675
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,479
beginning kind of then go all, in you, know from

1676
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:29,199
seasons after, that
