1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,919
Speaker 1: What is up, Fellasiko's I Am Dana Valley coming at

2
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:12,080
you with the certify fantabulous, mister Grant Hughes. The trade

3
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:15,919
deadline primers keep rolling and getting ruined, and so we

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,440
are here to remedy rectify two of them. Jimmy Butler

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,519
got injured for the Warriors after we recorded our trade

6
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:25,280
deadline primer, and then Joannas got injured after and it

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,839
was he said he was gonna miss four to six

8
00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:29,079
weeks after that podcast for the Bucks was already like

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,640
the day the night of. I had just scheduled to

10
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:33,960
edit it. It came out a lot of the stuff

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,320
that Brian to Pork and I talked about. Still we

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,920
talk about Johanna's future, so all that stuff still pertains.

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,520
But we're gonna provides some updated looks at these two teams,

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,479
and then from the national perspective, it'll be stat padding

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,320
everyone's favorite segment Stack Pat Stappen. This is also the

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,280
second podcast of the day we're releasing, so shout out

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,159
to us, rate review, subscribe, join our dicord links to

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520
the podcast and YouTube description. Grant, how are you? How

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,240
are your calves? How's your ACLA? I?

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,599
Speaker 2: You know I asked to stay in the game after

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,400
I move my calf out, and unlike Doc Rivers, you said, okay,

22
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:10,439
let's go, you can, you can stay in there. So

23
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:14,760
I'm here to pod the honest thing. The honest thing

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,319
is like what you joke about when you finish recording.

25
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:19,680
You're like, okay, yeah, now watch Giannis blow out his

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200
calf right, and they're like ha ha, And then there

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,519
it went.

28
00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:25,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you never we're not laughing at the

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,760
honest injuries.

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: No, no, no, this like of course that The only the

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,400
only thing that could erect it more is if he'd

32
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:33,000
just actually gotten traded, which maybe we'll talk about how

33
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:35,280
that affects the likelihood of that potentially.

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm interested to get your thoughts because a lot of

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,519
people now think it's more likely, which is curious to me.

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,040
But I think we're going to begin with the Golden

37
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,040
State Warriors, and I'll give a brief refresher on their

38
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:49,400
their trade deadline vitals. They are two hundred and sixty

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,040
five thousand dollars beneath the second apron, which they are

40
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,920
hard capped at nineteen point two million dollars into the attacks.

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,519
They cannot take back more money than they receive. They

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,359
can trade first round picks twenty six, twenty twenty eight,

43
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:04,439
and twenty thirty two outright. They can trade twenty and

44
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,519
thirty as long as it's protected for the bottom ten picks,

45
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,039
so it's effectively more valuable the way they could trade it.

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,719
No second round picks to trade, notable trade exceptions. That's sweet,

47
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,680
sweet Kyle Anderson deal. They still have that eight point

48
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:21,719
eight million dollars burning a hole in their pocket. But

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,919
the topic dujore grant, how does their trade deadline approach.

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,439
We're gonna get into some bigger picture stuff, but the

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,159
Jimmy Butler injury is catastrophic. The Warriors were rolling at

52
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,599
that point. I had at least started to wonder. We

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,080
talked a lot about how good does the player they

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,400
need to acquire have to be for them to be contenders.

55
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:44,240
I had started bandying about the idea in my head

56
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,439
that oh, like, oh, maybe like a role player or

57
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:49,039
two like this could work out. But what happens now?

58
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:56,879
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for uh, I don't know. Hot takiness. I think

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,000
not at all. Not much changes. Part of that is

60
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:04,840
because I was less convinced than maybe you sound like

61
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,599
you were that the recent the run of play they

62
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:12,680
were on just leading up to Butler's injury indicated some

63
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:15,759
higher ceiling. Like that didn't really change my opinion. And

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,080
then we talked about the Knicks on another episode recently,

65
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
and you, I think correctly said, like they just don't

66
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,360
have it. That was my sense of the Warriors from

67
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,039
fairly early this season, is like, it's just they're not

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,639
athletic enough, they're too old, they just don't have enough

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,439
shot creation, on and on and on, and the level

70
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:34,280
of player I thought that they might be able to

71
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,879
get using Jonathan Kaminga just wasn't going to be good

72
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,560
enough to change to put them in a different tier

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,919
of team, which is to say, like I don't know,

74
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,560
guaranteed top six, let alone top four in the conference.

75
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,560
I just didn't think that that was gonna happen. It

76
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,759
sounds like they are not willing to trade Butler in

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,960
a in a bigger deal now that he's kind of just,

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,919
you know, a super sized version of what the Anthony

79
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,000
Melton was last year when he tore his ACL and

80
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:05,439
they traded him. That doesn't seem like something they're going

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,199
to do. And so I don't and so the trade

82
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:13,840
ship is still KAMINGA and the uncertainty is still COMINGA

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,120
who also, by the way, is now hurt. That's kind

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,319
of lower down the list, but that's also relevant. He's

85
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:22,240
got a knee and an ankle, and it's just like

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,240
I would be shocked if he played again before the deadline.

87
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:31,519
So that's not that different because he will continue to

88
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,879
not play after playing, scoring effectively in like thirty minutes

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,800
across two games. So it doesn't I don't know what

90
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,000
what do you do? It sounds like you think or

91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,519
more open to the idea that Butler's injury will change

92
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,160
their behavior. I don't know that it does to me,

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,920
because the options are kind of what they were. Maybe

94
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,360
the payoff is less because now you're saying we're not

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,319
we're not adding this player to Butler, where it's like

96
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,519
replacing Butler.

97
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: I so I guess I'm coming at it from I

98
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,720
think it's I guess I was more open minded about

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,000
that making a bigger swinging beforehand, and the starter change

100
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,040
will be well, they're definitely because you can't justify doing

101
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,120
that now, Well, if.

102
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,439
Speaker 2: You were willing to trade Butler, you could, That's that

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,240
would be the way to do it if you've used

104
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,360
Butler's giant salary, which just fifty four with fifty just

105
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:25,560
under fifty seven million next year, and you attach those

106
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,279
three picks and maybe you're in the sweepstakes for whoever

107
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,079
the biggest name is that's available.

108
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: So you don't think you don't because you said that

109
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:36,079
they're not planning on you, which I get, like using Butler,

110
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,160
but we don't. How when does he come back next year?

111
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,600
Is he back by Christmas?

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,199
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that that's the right call because I

113
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:46,000
think I think what you're alluding to is something I

114
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:50,439
agree with is like he's thirty six now, Like, so

115
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,560
you're going to go a year, he'll be thirty seven,

116
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,639
and he's coming off in acl and you got him

117
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:57,319
for half of next year maybe.

118
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,079
Speaker 1: And what's the strain you're putting on Steph in the

119
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,600
meantime to stay relevant?

120
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:03,399
Speaker 2: So to me, I would be very open to trading

121
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:05,560
him because I don't think you're getting anything close to

122
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,079
even this year's version of Jimmy Butler back, Like who's

123
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,959
been good? I think I think his impact has been overstated,

124
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,800
Like I think he's been like sub all star. I

125
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,040
think he's been a sub All Star this year he's been.

126
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:18,680
He was way better right at leading up to getting hurt.

127
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,720
There were stretches this year where sometimes he's I think

128
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:23,720
he's a really good player, but it's just I don't

129
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,040
want to overstate it. The point is the guy you

130
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:28,759
get back next year if you hold on to him,

131
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:30,639
which it sounds like they're gonna do, is just like,

132
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:34,560
how can you possibly count on that player being good

133
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:37,959
enough to be a number two on whatever kind of

134
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:39,920
contender you want to be. It's just like he wasn't

135
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,399
this year.

136
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,879
Speaker 1: Do you also think, though, that could part of the

137
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,000
calculus be his salary is more valuable over the offseason?

138
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,199
What it is expiring when teams have more flexible because

139
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,560
right now it's if you move Jimmy Butler, well, I

140
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,240
like what we're talking about a Yiannist deal, who's also

141
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,439
he's injured right now?

142
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: Or is it?

143
00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: Lebron decides that hey, Genie hates me and resents the

144
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,720
fact that I save the franchise and he wants to

145
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,680
come to Golden State, and so by that point the

146
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,439
Lakers are saying, well, yeah, we don't need cap space

147
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:12,120
this summer. We'll either evaluate Jimmy Butler leading into free

148
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,240
agency and we'll prioritize twenty twenty seven flexibility. So I

149
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,319
just don't. It's also like, what is the deal, Like,

150
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,680
it's just the thing Jimmy Butler for Anthony Davis is

151
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:23,560
just I don't get that. Not that I don't get

152
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,160
it at all, but it's all right. Cool, So we're

153
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,560
gonna trade Jimmy Butler might not play again until next Christmas,

154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,199
so we'll just get the like person under contract for

155
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,240
longer who also might not play again until.

156
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: Next christ Honestly, did you mentioned it I would trade

157
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:39,879
Butler for Anthony Davis because I just don't. I don't think.

158
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:43,600
I don't think you're re signing Jimmy Butler after next year, right,

159
00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:45,720
like he's you want him for age thirty eight and

160
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:48,240
thirty nine at the numbers he's gonna like they.

161
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,079
Speaker 1: Got out in door for at the age of thirty nine.

162
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,639
Speaker 2: It's gone great. But they they're not gonna do. All

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,439
the messaging has been they're not going to trade Jimmy

164
00:07:57,439 --> 00:07:59,959
Butler because they think that the when he's back next year,

165
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,759
that's they they I don't know, maybe that is just

166
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:06,959
posturing and they will trade him over the offseason. You

167
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,040
may be right that. It's like, however, sincere or insincere

168
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:13,439
they are about Butler next year, the fact is he

169
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,680
will be easier to trade over the summer than he

170
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:18,959
is right now. And that's why you're you're you're you're

171
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,120
projecting that you will not do that because maybe that

172
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,639
ups his value. I don't know. There's no upside to

173
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,160
being like, yeah, we're open on Jimmy Butler offers what

174
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,720
do you got? You know, like that that doesn't serve anybody,

175
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,959
So that could be the fact. I just don't It

176
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,759
doesn't sound like they're gonna trade him, and maybe that's

177
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,159
there's no like actual belief in him attached to that.

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,519
It's just why would we do that now? That's stupid, No,

179
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:41,000
like there's no value in it.

180
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: And also on the off chance if he comes back

181
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,399
next year and is the same player, that's a pretty

182
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:47,639
big mid season addition if you don't make any other

183
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,120
major changes, I suppose. But yeah, well then this I

184
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:53,399
think leads into what happens with Jonathan Kaminga now not

185
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,000
only factoring in Jimmy Butler's injury, but Kaminga's own injury,

186
00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:01,720
and it's does the does is he more important to

187
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:04,360
them post Butler injury or to you. Does this just

188
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:05,320
not change at all?

189
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it changes. I think if there's any change,

190
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,559
it's that the league saw. I may be getting it

191
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,159
wrong by a little bit, but basically thirty minutes over

192
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,240
a couple of games where Kaminga got back into the

193
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,039
rotation and scored like twenty nine or thirty points on

194
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,159
good efficiency and flashed like some of the better quick,

195
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,399
quick decision making. Uh, you know, did some of the

196
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,279
stuff that they that everybody did at the beginning of

197
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:35,360
the season. Remember what everyone wants him to do all

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,039
the time, he keep them. He gets you. That's how

199
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,600
he gets you, Dan, don't fall back.

200
00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: That was honestly, that was the first time he got me.

201
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,679
I don't know if I was recording with you or

202
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,759
with someone else I said. I was like, no, I

203
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:49,000
could see them actively wanting to keep it. He got me,

204
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,559
He's gonna he's gonna.

205
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,799
Speaker 2: Get you'll it's it's a win. He's always gonna get

206
00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:57,039
you at some point. That's that is the thing with him.

207
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,840
If there's a team out there that saw that and

208
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,279
is like, you know, that ankle and knee thing that

209
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,440
he had it's that's like a week long thing, that's

210
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,000
not a big issue. Yeah, let's let's do it. That

211
00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:12,600
would change it because right now, all you've heard is

212
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:15,399
that there's just like there's not a great positive value

213
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:16,600
offer out there for him.

214
00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:18,879
Speaker 1: Well what am I done? You say? Would you care

215
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:19,240
to quote?

216
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,519
Speaker 2: Like it's like, I'm aware of the demand. I'm I'm

217
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:29,200
aware of that, but there has to be demand, which

218
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:33,639
is just like pretty spectacular. So as far as the

219
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,159
warrior side of it, there's no that thirty minutes of

220
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,159
effective scoring it like that means nothing to them because

221
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:44,200
they've seen every fifty. They've seen fifty of those over

222
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,679
over his career, and it's.

223
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:48,799
Speaker 1: Just think Joe Lacub got a bottle of lotion and

224
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,519
some clean accent.

225
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: The thing is Joe Lacob. This is how you know

226
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:54,639
it's over. Is all the reporting is that Joe Lacob

227
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,440
is kind of out too now, like even he took him,

228
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,000
even he is like, all right, guys, get you know what,

229
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Steve everyone else you're right, you're right. You may not

230
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,240
have it. So I don't think I don't think his

231
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,600
play encouraged the warriors that like, oh maybe you know what,

232
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,720
maybe next year, like we've got that team option, maybe

233
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:19,279
we'll keep him and he'll do that, you know, for

234
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,039
the first thirty games and next season because because you're

235
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,879
just until all you're doing is say, right, see, it

236
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,399
seems ridiculous because it's like, that's what we that's what

237
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,440
they thought coming into this year. They went through this

238
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,080
whole stalemate. They're like, we're gonna play him. He's gonna

239
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,440
you know, he's gonna be an entrenched starter and it'll

240
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,639
up his value. It's a win win, it'll up his value,

241
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,039
or he'll play great and make us good. And nothing

242
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,000
of the sort happened. And to go into next year

243
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:50,200
thinking that the same thing is on the table is

244
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,840
like it is the definition of insanity, right, You're it's

245
00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:57,000
the same situation because he is effectively an expiring contract

246
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,360
now because of the team option, same situation next year.

247
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:04,360
What he'll only be madder because he's still there. Everything

248
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:06,600
you read is that he's he's like he's still the

249
00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:10,919
Uh well, Anthony Slater, I think it's like, was it

250
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,480
antagon antagonism or I can't figure, I can't remember the word,

251
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:17,679
but it's animosity. I think maybe it was towards the

252
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,799
team persists, So it's just like it's untenable. He cannot

253
00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:24,039
be on the team next year, so you either trade

254
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,480
him for the just terrible return you were going to

255
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,759
or you let him walk. Like that's you know, I

256
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:34,639
don't think anything, very very long answer, because you've gotten

257
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,799
me animated about the Warriors. I don't think this changes anything.

258
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:42,120
I really, I really neither injury. I don't think it

259
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:42,840
moves the needle.

260
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: So but then what do they what do they do

261
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,480
at the dead line? Like is this do they sell?

262
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,120
Like is it is it Jonathan? Like if we get

263
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,840
seconds for Jonathan kamaning, but we're not trying to get

264
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,440
a player that helps us anymore, are they? Are you

265
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,399
still obligated to buy? Because with Stephen Draymond it's.

266
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:02,519
Speaker 2: You You've got the perfect cover to not buy in

267
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,279
the Butler injury, because I think you've some of the

268
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,919
comments from Steph of just like you know, as long

269
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,360
as I'm out there, I'll believe we can compete. And

270
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,519
but but with wrapped around that is like just despair,

271
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:17,399
you know, like everybody understands what the loss of Butler

272
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,440
means to this team. So I do think you have

273
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,480
cover to say Steph like, yeah, we want to you know,

274
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,960
do right by you or whatever whatever other buzzwords you

275
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,559
want to use. But it's like even you have got

276
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,360
to understand, like we can't replace this guy, and and

277
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,879
like we weren't even that good with him, you know,

278
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:39,919
like in a contending sense. You know they were going

279
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,360
to be win forty something games, but like you can't

280
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:47,600
justify another go for it type of move even if

281
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:49,559
you could execute on which I don't think I don't

282
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,600
think you can. You know, does that make sense?

283
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Like I know I'm with you there, but it does

284
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,559
kind of throw Well, I'm trying to think of what

285
00:13:57,799 --> 00:13:59,600
cause you said, But you would still make a Jimmy

286
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:01,840
Butler ra Anthony Davis trade this season.

287
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Then, just because I think you're getting nothing from Butler going.

288
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,919
Speaker 1: Forward, probably because he's not playing.

289
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,919
Speaker 2: Right and when he comes back like Davis, here's the trader.

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Here's the trade. It's Jimmy Butler and Al Horford for

291
00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:20,919
Karl Anthony Towns. We just did the Knicks recording, so

292
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,840
we yet spoilers. Now people are.

293
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,919
Speaker 2: Spoiler We're gonna talk about how Cat's untradable. Uh let's see. No,

294
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,639
I don't. I'm not. I don't want I don't want

295
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:33,039
those U.

296
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,399
Speaker 1: Extra year of a player who's actually going to be

297
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,080
on the court this season and next season. You are?

298
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,679
You are Mike Brown pilled. He has polluted your thoughts. Yeah,

299
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:46,320
I don't.

300
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't like the Cat and Draymond actually on the court.

301
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:50,799
The Cat Draymond pairing kind of makes sense, But they

302
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320
would I was gonna say they would kill each other,

303
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:54,960
one one would kill the other.

304
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,399
Speaker 1: Or Draymond on the same team, or Dylan Brooks and

305
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,279
Lebron on the same team. What would you rather say?

306
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:02,039
I think Cat and yeah Sam, I mean it's Draymond.

307
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,120
So he did have to either.

308
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: I mean he punched the dude like that.

309
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,759
Speaker 1: He liked at Brooks called Lebron of bear once or

310
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:16,279
something the same Dylan Brooks pokes poke wear sunglasses inside.

311
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:19,639
Speaker 2: Don't support it. We know of clear stance on that.

312
00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:20,960
I've been very consistent.

313
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:25,639
Speaker 1: Then I have to ask this question, is it just

314
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:29,399
over like? Is this we gueld this is the era over?

315
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:31,799
This was just sort of a new eraror with Jimmy Butler,

316
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:34,919
But there was still the I don't know, was it

317
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,840
was it Fae Hope? Was it the illusion of hope,

318
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,840
but this team felt like it still could have done

319
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:43,960
something and the assets haven't changed, And you could look

320
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,200
at it and say, well, if they were gonna go

321
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,840
after Giannis again, who's hurt as we're recording this, they

322
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:50,200
might have always they were going to need to give

323
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,559
up Jimmy Butler anyway, So what does this actually change?

324
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:55,639
But doesn't this sort of just feel to me like

325
00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:59,519
the nail in the coffin of their never Jimmy Butler

326
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Nas gave them lightning in a Bottle potential of not

327
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,519
similar to what they did with that twenty twenty two title,

328
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:09,879
but it was lightning like could they win a playoff series?

329
00:16:09,919 --> 00:16:11,200
Could they win to like could.

330
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:11,559
Speaker 2: They make it?

331
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:14,879
Speaker 1: That is that's effectively just gone and with it, it's

332
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:17,720
how can you envision them even getting back to Lightning

333
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:19,559
in a Bottle potential next season?

334
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you want to resist the this

335
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,039
thing is over talk because it won, because it's it's

336
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,440
just easy to say that.

337
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:31,679
Speaker 1: I guess like that, do you know how long I

338
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:33,919
had to think about that? Take for it? No?

339
00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:39,159
Speaker 2: I get it? Like the question maybe the counter question

340
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,720
is like how long did you want this to go?

341
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: Like?

342
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: How long did you expect this to last because I

343
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,080
think everybody thought the twenty twenty two title was sort

344
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,960
of the most improbable one, and it's like, man, I

345
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,879
can't believe they got that one. And then they were

346
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:54,879
pretty good. You know, they want a playoff series, right,

347
00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:57,000
that was the King Series that they won. The following year,

348
00:16:57,799 --> 00:16:59,320
they won a playoff series last year.

349
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: Jim Butler for Domntes the bonus.

350
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: You can't overstate the King's preference for former Warrior assets.

351
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,839
So possible. Yeah, I mean, realistically, like coming into this year,

352
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,039
wasn't the take that this team has like it's got

353
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:24,519
the puncher's chance, it's they the highest level they can

354
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:26,200
play out. I think I made this case the highest

355
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:28,039
level they can play at is going to be competitive

356
00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:31,480
with everybody. It's just not realistic to believe a team

357
00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:34,440
whose core is this old can hit that level often

358
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:39,200
enough or sustain it through June such that they could

359
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:43,319
really contend. So I think in some ways the is

360
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,480
it over is just like a little degradation of like, yeah,

361
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,160
it was over as a title contender before the season started,

362
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,799
like serious title contender that that that was not on

363
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,559
that wasn't realistic to begin with, and now it's just

364
00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:59,759
like I don't think they can win a playoff series?

365
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,000
How different is that really from from there?

366
00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,799
Speaker 1: That's a big difference because it's now it's I think

367
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:07,960
it's the difference between they were had the ability to

368
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,200
be relevant and aren't they verging on irrelevant?

369
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Now?

370
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: What are like? What are Steph is incredible?

371
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,759
Speaker 2: But it's a go ahead.

372
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying Steph is incredible, but like without Jimmy Butler

373
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,440
that I'm assuming the non Steph minutes are gonna be

374
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,759
an absolute like a muck bang of shittiness. Is what

375
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:27,680
that's gonna be? Like?

376
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:28,039
Speaker 2: Is that?

377
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,319
Speaker 1: And so and then so now you're gonna either have

378
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,880
to rely on step but also your offense feels I've won.

379
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,599
Your defense changes because you have okay, you still have

380
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,680
the Anthey, Melton, you now have to ask yourself if

381
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,240
you wanted to make a bigger move. Jonathan Kaminga and

382
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,680
Moses Moody are now your only I know Will Richard

383
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:47,319
is there, but like, can we afford to give up

384
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:51,079
a wing? So it's the how is this team? What's

385
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,000
the path? I don't mean to say that Johnathan Minga

386
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,279
is a factor in driving them continuing to be good

387
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:57,279
and I'm not. And I'm also not saying they're about

388
00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:02,039
to be the Kings, but they have no chance of

389
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,759
doing anything even semi relevant at this point. They might

390
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:07,839
still make the play in and just be okay, cool,

391
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,319
but they're not. So that's what's over to me is

392
00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:13,000
that if they're and I'm not saying they should, by

393
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,839
the way, make some type of move. If you're getting

394
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,920
rid of Jimmy Butler and you are bringing back ad

395
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,920
or someone else, you have a discussion about it. But

396
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,200
if they've now decided, I know Dunleavy said, if we're

397
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,680
going to give up assets, it has to be for

398
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:28,319
like a special type player. Jimmy Butler gave you a

399
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,319
margin for error, the margin for error. It's not even

400
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:34,400
that the margin for error doesn't exist anymore, it's that

401
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,640
the floor has almost come out from underneath you.

402
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I guess. I guess to me, I

403
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,920
don't see a huge amount of difference between a team that,

404
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,039
if everything goes right, could win a playoff series and

405
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:54,240
one that like probably is going to finish tenth, eighth, ninth,

406
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:58,839
whatever in the conference. I get. I guess, I guess

407
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:01,319
maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong in that, And maybe you're

408
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,119
right that, like, at least from the perspective of, like

409
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:08,680
we're we're still giving Steph like relevant basketball to play.

410
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:10,720
I guess that's different if you think you can win

411
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,240
a playoff series, or at least, like with Butler, you

412
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:16,400
could talk your the team could talk itself into we

413
00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:19,119
just we got if we're healthy, we like our chances

414
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,480
like that kind of that kind of talk, and now

415
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:25,480
it's just you aren't healthy, and so there's no construction

416
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:28,039
of the current roster that is a threat to win

417
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:31,680
that anyone will take seriously as like a playoff series winner.

418
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,359
I don't think so. I guess that's a little different.

419
00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:36,680
I guess maybe I'm just coming from the perspective of,

420
00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:39,880
like can a team, can the team win a title

421
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,319
or not? And they couldn't and they still can't.

422
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:46,559
Speaker 1: I guess then in your your view that though it

423
00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:48,839
at least functionally changes, that they might have been open

424
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,079
to making some type of swing on the trade market

425
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,440
to see if that team that they weren't that you're

426
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,440
saying they weren't, if that type of product was still

427
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,440
accessible to them, and now they have no way of

428
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,960
accessing it to wife and make that type of so

429
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:04,200
what is But my point then is, and I'm not

430
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,839
actually denigrading the Warriors for this. I think that there

431
00:21:06,839 --> 00:21:08,519
have been things they've done or haven't done that I

432
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:10,839
disagree with, But I think some people give them a

433
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,000
pass on moves that were they're just like, oh, they

434
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,279
tried to get Larry marketed in Pascal old Gianoby and it, yeah,

435
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:19,799
you didn't like you clearly didn't try hard enough with

436
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:23,400
Pascal Siakamogianaobe based off what those packages ends up going.

437
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,480
For my point more so is this, this isn't to

438
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,680
denigrate the Warriors, is what are we doing here now? Then?

439
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:31,599
To me, that's a big difference where it felt like

440
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,160
there was actual purpose to this season, regardless of how

441
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:37,440
low the ceiling might have ultimately been, and now it's

442
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:40,559
just what is that? Maybe saying the floor came out

443
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:42,440
beneath them was probably the wrong way of putting it,

444
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,559
but they they've lost the minutes that Steph has played

445
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:48,440
without Jimmy Butler this year, So I just I don't know,

446
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,559
it just it I guess it bums me out more

447
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:52,279
than it seems like you were more prepared for the

448
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,440
end of this than I was. Because it just bums

449
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,160
me out because it kind of seems like the last

450
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,400
chance we had of seeing Steph or this team recapture

451
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,519
any end when of that lightning in a bottle of magic. Yes,

452
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:05,599
other moves needed to happen, but now it doesn't fucking matter.

453
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,240
What is that? Like, there is no We were at

454
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:09,160
least able to debate, well, what could be the move?

455
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,000
What is the move? Now? No, no such move exists.

456
00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:15,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that that sucks from like an

457
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:17,839
analytical perspective, because you want to, Okay, what if they

458
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:19,519
did this or what if they did that. I really

459
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:22,160
firmly believe there's not a move to be made that

460
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,440
gets them back to where they want to be. And

461
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,319
then it's like, okay, so what do we talk about?

462
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,440
And it's the sad reality is like I think, you know,

463
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,519
maybe Steve Kerr is done after this year. Uh, maybe

464
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:36,079
they all get together and and they agree that we'll

465
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,759
go through the end of Steph and Draymond's contracts, which

466
00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:42,440
is next after next year, and that's it, and we

467
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:45,480
just we do the best we can without sabotaging the

468
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,599
future with which Dunleavy telegraphed and try to be relevant

469
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,640
next year, and that's kind of it, and uh, you

470
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,400
know that that to me, Like so that's one thing.

471
00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:01,039
The other thing is like I'm trying how to phrase this,

472
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,200
like I've been emotionally hedging that like this is over

473
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,079
for a while, and I've been I was wrong because

474
00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:10,839
I didn't think the twenty two title was gonna Happenny

475
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,279
for sure found found money. And I think my perception

476
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,559
of the team has always been colored by like I saw,

477
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:24,319
I saw what a what a contending Warriors team looks like,

478
00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:28,759
and it was like very, very different than anything they've

479
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:33,839
had recently. Like it even it's just like the fourteen

480
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,079
to fifteen team and then on through the twenty eighteen

481
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,599
nineteen team is just like that's what it takes. Holy shit,

482
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,039
were miles from that, you know, And like even the

483
00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:46,759
twenty two team was like it was shocking that they

484
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:48,680
want it. You know, there were signs, but it was

485
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:51,640
just like Andrew Wiggins is our third best player, Like

486
00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:54,920
that's and Jordan Poole's doing this like lightning in a bottle.

487
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,799
So like I'm measuring I've always measured them against Like

488
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:01,359
the version I saw, it was like this is a

489
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,279
that's a championship team, and it's like, it's never so

490
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,000
like with that as your baseline, I think in a

491
00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:10,440
roundabout way, that's always why I've been like, well, I

492
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,079
don't think they should make that move because that's not

493
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:13,880
going to get them back to that level, which is

494
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,400
and You've always been smarter about saying like yeah, but

495
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,160
it makes them better, and like doesn't better count for something,

496
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:21,119
you know? And I'm always kind of like, well but

497
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,440
it's not great, so who cares?

498
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,839
Speaker 1: And I think that's what I'm struggling with the most

499
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,319
is now it all just feels meaningless to where I

500
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,519
could still enjoy Steph. And but like that's what you

501
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,640
just laid out where they decide to go through everyone's contracts. Now,

502
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,200
doesn't it feel this is probably an overstatement? Is it

503
00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:39,920
less likely that Steph only ever wears the Warriors jersey

504
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,759
because of something like this? Isn't that more possible because

505
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:42,960
of it?

506
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,599
Speaker 2: The thing is like how there haven't been a lot

507
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:50,640
of like Steph like situations, but like it's so rare

508
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,440
for it to end how you want it to. Ukim

509
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,480
Olajuwan goes to the Raptors, you know, like Patrick Ewing

510
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:59,039
plays for the Sonics, like the Magic this the magic

511
00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,960
was it the son or both?

512
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,559
Speaker 1: Right? He got traded to the Sons.

513
00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: That's right, you don't get and like even like I

514
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,400
don't know, like the Mavericks weren't contending in Dirk's last year,

515
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:15,039
and and like the Spurs. I mean, maybe Duncan is

516
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:17,400
the best you can do. But like these don't end

517
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,480
the story. You know, it's fine to like plan for

518
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:23,559
the storybook ending the one team. It's maybe likelier that

519
00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:26,839
he plays somewhere else. He might just he might be

520
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:28,319
done after next year regardless.

521
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: Do you know what the cognitive dissonances is that when

522
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,440
you even if you say what happened with Kobe in

523
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,200
La Dirk in Dallas, even what Lebron looks like in

524
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:40,359
the Lakers, and he is older with the Lakers.

525
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: Kobe's last years were horrible, like remember how much.

526
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,799
Speaker 1: Like how awful that was, but with Dirk, with Kobe,

527
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,240
with Lebron now, but that's a completely different situation. If

528
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,920
the season ended today, there's a chance that Steph Curry

529
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,640
is first team All NBA, sure, and he's he's he's

530
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:01,319
no lower than second team All NBA. And I think

531
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,759
that's what I struggle to grapple with is it feels

532
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:07,799
like if you have one of the ten best basketball

533
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:11,440
players on your team that you are obligated to go

534
00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:15,920
for it. But I understand the stance of now there's

535
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,279
there's no point because I don't know even like Jimmy

536
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,640
Butler for Davis doesn't do it like okay, sure, but

537
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,759
like are you're including picks so that you like? That

538
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:27,160
doesn't do it for me. They honest thing, I guess

539
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,000
would be like if the Warriors could get Yannis without

540
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,440
giving up this year's pick, and they just like, we're

541
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:35,519
really like, everyone's shutting it down the rest of this year.

542
00:26:35,599 --> 00:26:38,240
We're bottoming out as much as they can. They might

543
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:40,440
even still stumble into the play in because of what

544
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:43,079
the Kings, Jazz, Pelicans and so on and so forth

545
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,200
are doing. Okay, like that might get you to somewhere

546
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,359
next toime like next year. But now it's just I

547
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,920
don't like that. That is what's tough for me is

548
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,279
because Steph is still that dude, like hashtag that dude.

549
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: Do you think I think you're right? I think that

550
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:02,480
is a good point, and I think that's the more

551
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:05,519
sober way. I'm just kind of like this is like

552
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:07,920
emotional armor that I'm putting on, Like, hey, it's over man,

553
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:08,960
and that's cool because.

554
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,319
Speaker 1: You know recording and you're just gonna be sobbing.

555
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 2: But but but like you're right, that is a big distinction,

556
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,240
I think, And and the Dunleavy comments about needing a

557
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,519
player that will sort of like be the he didn't

558
00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:25,200
say this, but like be the bridge to the post

559
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,160
steff Era kind of reeks a little bit of the

560
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,920
two timelines thinking that everybody hates so much trying to

561
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,400
have it both ways kind of thing. I think the

562
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,359
analysis is a little different if you've got the move

563
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,400
or the assets to trade that do get you the

564
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,680
guy or guys that allow you to treat Steph like

565
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,359
you would any other guy who is a top ten player. Still,

566
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,039
you know what I mean, Like, I just don't know

567
00:27:52,079 --> 00:27:55,880
what because because dra like they got all these special circumstances, right,

568
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,599
Like are they trading Draymond to make that happen? Like

569
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,480
they probably should if you a robot, if you made

570
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:04,559
a robot decide, But it's just like I don't think Steph.

571
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: Said could you imagine his reaction? Pod? So yeah, And

572
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,720
it's just you're trying to think of the player and

573
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:17,759
even the play, like would you still be on board?

574
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:20,680
I guess Butler then becoming this is stupid, But I'm like,

575
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,599
you have Bam had a bio Jaron Jackson Junior, just

576
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,880
as I think names that the Warriors have the assets

577
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,680
to get if they become Maybe it's lamello. Are those ideas?

578
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,279
Are they now less appealing because of the Butler injury

579
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,680
unless you're sending Butler because like LaMelo is someone or

580
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,759
even I think it was Jared, we mapped out you

581
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,359
could get to it without giving up Jimmy Butler if

582
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:42,119
you want to move Draymond. But we're assuming yeah, they

583
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:44,559
will you get to LaMelo without giving up Draymond or Butler.

584
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,240
So is it does it change that part of the

585
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:49,599
count because it seems like it feels like they've now

586
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,839
raised the bar for what it will take for them

587
00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:54,759
to make a move because they have less, which is

588
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:58,759
a little counterintuitive but also makes perfect sense. Yeah.

589
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,279
Speaker 2: No, I think raised the idea of the bar is elevated,

590
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,759
is right, and it drives with Duneleyvy said like, I

591
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:08,039
don't think I think they're less inclined. So what does

592
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:09,680
this mean for the summer and beyond is what we

593
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,240
have up the car and we have up right now.

594
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,240
I think you're right. What it means is the odds

595
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:20,200
of and like the means to make a trade that

596
00:29:20,319 --> 00:29:23,119
is like just for this year, just like that it

597
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:25,799
doesn't happen to.

598
00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: Golden State is more likely now because the low opportunity costing.

599
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:31,160
They're just hashtag trying ship something like that.

600
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,359
Speaker 2: And it's like, well, he's under contract for a couple

601
00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:36,559
of years, and like maybe there's your bridge and and

602
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,079
like other than jaw is an interesting example because who

603
00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:40,599
knows what how low that price might be.

604
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: But like he makes he makes like no sense other

605
00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:46,039
than oh he's under contract, that he's a big neighbor.

606
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,119
Speaker 2: But like it costs you more to get the type

607
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,039
of player they seem to want, which is like yeah,

608
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:53,279
you help us, now, help us later. Right, that's not

609
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:55,359
it's not too much to ask, right. We want we want,

610
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,359
we want everything, and we're not willing to trade Steph.

611
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:01,920
We're not willing to trade Jimmy, and we're not willing

612
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,279
to trade uh Draymond Green. So Jonathan Kaminge, what's that

613
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:08,480
get us? And guess what? We're right back where we

614
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,960
were before any of the injuries happened.

615
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,279
Speaker 1: That not trading Jimmy stance is just it's funny to

616
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:16,440
me because it's cold and callous in the aftermath of

617
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,640
an injury. But what is the you have how much

618
00:30:21,759 --> 00:30:24,480
a year's worth of equity built up in this player?

619
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:26,440
It seems to me maybe they're just gonna be more

620
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,839
open minded over the offseason. But yes, you also, you're

621
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,000
not at a point where you could wait to do anything,

622
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,200
you know what I mean? Like Stephan is, Yeah, you

623
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,799
know you're not guaranteed this version of Steph next year.

624
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: You should strongly expect you won't get it just because

625
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,680
of his age, Like he's gonna be thirty eight in

626
00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:45,039
two months, Like what are we talking about? Like it's

627
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:47,319
just like Lebron is the only and maybe Durant is

628
00:30:47,359 --> 00:30:50,119
on the path to that to being like maybe Durant

629
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,000
more so actually now Loo because Lebron may not be

630
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,240
an all NBA guy, probably won't. Uh, just the aging

631
00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:01,920
curve is as great and exceptional stuff has been, like

632
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,200
it's gonna get him. It's gotten him a little bit

633
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,160
this year, Like he's been great overall, but there have

634
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,680
been way more nights where it's like, oh shit, doesn't

635
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,359
have you know like that that's already here. It's not

636
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,799
like you know that's gonna get less frequent.

637
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: The Bucks trade deadline primer take two immediately had a

638
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:22,519
man that one. They burned. Giannis's injury burned us on

639
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:26,119
on that one. So Giannis is dealing with, by my count,

640
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,079
his third calf injury this season?

641
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:33,039
Speaker 2: Is that right? It's at least two? It might be yeah,

642
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:35,880
it's it's too it's a few too many, I would say.

643
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot for one season. What does

644
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:42,759
how does the Giannis injury change things for them? And

645
00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:45,480
I think what let's tackle it from this perspective. First

646
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,160
is they had telegraphed that they wanted to buy and

647
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:53,799
I think the plan was they don't want to trade

648
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:55,319
a first round pick to do so, which is why

649
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:58,559
you saw Jeremy Grant zach Lavine. It was players who

650
00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:02,880
could potentially be helpful but don't cost you real equity.

651
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,960
With that said, does the Yannis injury change that?

652
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: Like?

653
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,599
Speaker 1: Does it change? And if that was the plan, doesn't

654
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,720
that then shouldn't that then still be the plan? Or

655
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:15,359
now do you think that that mus Because I've seen

656
00:32:15,359 --> 00:32:19,039
some people bandy about, well, this is you know, like

657
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,720
the more likely that he's gonna get traded, And I

658
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,759
don't see how trading him while he's hurt after his

659
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:26,079
third cashtrain is gonna The better thing for them to

660
00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:29,000
do is he comes back post deadline, kills it, and

661
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,839
then they have better information to work with as they

662
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:33,359
build their own team over the offseason or for trade talks.

663
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,039
So I don't know that this functionally needs to change

664
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:39,119
what their approach was. It's they definitely shouldn't be trading

665
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,440
their first round pick that they have available, that's for sure, right.

666
00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: I hope this doesn't like go around the question you're asking,

667
00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:52,279
but I feel like, what if there's a change here,

668
00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:54,680
whether it's with Giannis or the Bucks or just the

669
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,039
situation overall. I think it's more related to like this

670
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:04,359
injury making Yannis realize further frustrating him, or or because

671
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:06,880
this is coming in conjunction with him making even more

672
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,680
comments about like our chemistry sucks and like our guys

673
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,960
are playing selfishly. It's like comes right on the heels

674
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,400
of that. So like before the injury.

675
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: I think if Karl Anthony town said something like that,

676
00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:20,000
do you know what Josh Hart would do to.

677
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: Him, I probably involve a thumb, so I think they

678
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:31,119
honest thing. If things change, it'll be because this injury

679
00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:35,799
makes him realize, I don't know why it would have

680
00:33:35,839 --> 00:33:38,559
taken this long, but like, nothing is happening with this

681
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,839
team this year. It's not happening. You're not in the

682
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:43,279
play in now you think you think you're gonna be

683
00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:45,599
there when you come back, and however long, it's gonna

684
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,480
be so like it maybe that is what finally gets

685
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,960
him to ask for the trade that is gonna need

686
00:33:53,039 --> 00:33:55,720
to be asked for in order for this to just conclude.

687
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:02,480
How it must eventually conclude, because otherwise it's like what

688
00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:05,680
other circumstances are are different like other than like yeah,

689
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,519
it makes even less sense to buy, like if he

690
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:09,800
comes out and like I don't know what this would

691
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,159
even look like, but does it starts to do the

692
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,519
dance of like probably not gonna extend unless we prove

693
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:18,920
we're committed to winning to like spur another when you know,

694
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:21,239
what can we get for Kuzma in the pick type

695
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,559
of trade, like not that much is different, but if

696
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:28,559
he does that, like then the Bucks should just trade

697
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,760
him because it's like this is enough, like, we can't.

698
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: We can't keep doing if he doesn't, if he won't

699
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,840
sign the extension, then you can't. I think that's when

700
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,719
you have to have the room. Yeah, but you got

701
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:40,239
in agreement at this point though, that you can't trade

702
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,440
him this season, even if he asks for out like

703
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,719
I just I'm still because now his value is at

704
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,920
its Nadear you there there was reporting it was from Shams.

705
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,599
There are other sites that report not only did Jannis

706
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:56,679
ask for a trade to the Knicks, but there was

707
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,360
like a negotiating window. And unless that the Bucks were

708
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,280
doing that for circumstance, what did you think you were

709
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:05,360
What were they getting from? Were they trying to find

710
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,480
teams that would give a bunch of stuff for og

711
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:11,079
his value? If that's the conversation they were having, then

712
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,000
what is the conversation they're having now? I'm just waiting

713
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,480
because let's say he doesn't play another game for the

714
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,480
rest of this season. At least there might be teams

715
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,880
that fail in the playoffs who talk themselves into will

716
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,280
give like right now, Houston, Okce, San Antonio. Those teams

717
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,519
aren't gonna even try and acquire Ganness. I would argue

718
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:36,559
if one of them flames out in the playoffs maybe

719
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:39,760
and that would go for other teams. Yeah, well, I'm sure.

720
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,159
Speaker 2: Right, because it is like, if you're training for him,

721
00:35:42,159 --> 00:35:44,159
it's because you're trying to win a championship two day

722
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,800
like this year, and the injury maybe make the I'm

723
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,760
trying to I think you're right. What would justify what

724
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,639
would make it more likely that just say San Antonio

725
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,480
or Houston or whoever the Knicks would The Knicks are

726
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,599
different because they want to be out of the cap business,

727
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:04,079
But like, what would be what would make it more likely?

728
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:05,920
Is it that, Hey, we think we can get him

729
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,079
now if we get in his ear and we make it,

730
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,159
make him request us, which would carry some weight, and

731
00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:14,199
the Bucks maybe don't want to piss him off, and

732
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,519
we can get him for a discount now because there'll

733
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:19,320
be more suitors over the summer. It's like it's a

734
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,599
pretty convoluted case to try to argue that the change

735
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:26,800
in circumstances with the injury makes it more likely he'll

736
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,400
be traded. Yeah, I get you could, you could really

737
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,480
contort yourself and get there. But I think you're right.

738
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:34,440
It's like I think he's just going to finish the

739
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,480
season with the team. Isn't he like it? Just that

740
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:37,400
seems more likely?

741
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: Maybe do you think that there's so they will have

742
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,840
three for if they don't trade the one first round

743
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,920
pick they have available now, they'll be able to move

744
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,639
three picks over the summer twenty six, twenty thirty one,

745
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,760
and twenty thirty three, and there could be a twenty

746
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,639
thirty two swap in there Is there any like what

747
00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:00,400
is that doesn't have to be like the exact name

748
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,000
of a player. How good does the player coming back

749
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,480
in a trade need to be for you as the

750
00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:10,000
Bucks to feel like, okay, this guy, Because Giannis might

751
00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:13,360
say you go out and get jaw and I'll stay,

752
00:37:13,559 --> 00:37:15,159
and that's just I mean, maybe that doesn't cost you

753
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:16,880
a first or probably cost you one first round pick

754
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,559
at least, But what is the player as an organization

755
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:22,400
that makes you feel comfortable? Okay, there's Giannis staying, and

756
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,840
then there's that's most important, but we also just we

757
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,519
can't fly by the seat of our pants wait for

758
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:30,679
him to request a trade because we're still not good enough.

759
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,320
So how good does that player or is there a

760
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,679
scenario where it's a collection of players that needs to

761
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,480
come in and to make you feel like we can

762
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:41,880
mortgage more of our future because this doesn't just buy

763
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,840
us goodwill with Giannish for the next couple months, Like

764
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,719
this gets him to stay for at least two more seasons.

765
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:50,119
Speaker 2: Man, it's such a high I mean you can maybe

766
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:53,280
you flip it and look at like, well, how what

767
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:56,719
wasn't good enough? Like Damian Lillard like at the time,

768
00:37:57,559 --> 00:38:01,159
for sure all Star for All NBA guy, that wasn't enough. Uh,

769
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,440
you know the like so Miles Turner, well below that

770
00:38:04,519 --> 00:38:07,559
level that has not been enough. So is the answer, Like,

771
00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:09,519
it's got to be an All NBA player. It's got

772
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,800
a lot of times we like to go like, well,

773
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,239
it's got to be someone as good or better than you. Honest,

774
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,199
it's not that, because there's like four guys that that's

775
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,320
true of. But uh, it has to be an all

776
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,679
NBA level player because if the goal is to compete

777
00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:25,920
for a championship, you need a couple of those. And

778
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,840
you also, which the Bucks don't have, need a pretty

779
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,280
like well filled out rotation with a lot of high

780
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,280
value guys that are outperforming their contracts and like they've

781
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,480
just they've kicked the can down the road enough years

782
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:40,840
to where like that's just not there. So the conversation

783
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,800
for me starts at this is an all NBA player

784
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,679
that you're getting like without without asterisks, like he's he's

785
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,840
in the conversation, like his name is not out of

786
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,800
place in the like long list MVP discussion right like

787
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,039
because otherwise what are you doing? You're just mortgaging more

788
00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:01,559
future for a guy that like is aging also and

789
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:03,840
keeps getting hurt also, which is like something you got

790
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:04,400
to think about.

791
00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, By the way, I don't know how

792
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,320
why they let him go back in that game against

793
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,599
the Nuggets if he was so insistent like that is

794
00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:15,639
just that that's bad. That's bad coaching by.

795
00:39:16,559 --> 00:39:19,519
Speaker 2: Especially as scared as everyone is of calf injuries now right.

796
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: And especially when he's got two in his right interview

797
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:22,760
already this season.

798
00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:26,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I agree.

799
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,679
Speaker 1: When you mentioned that. By the way, I don't know,

800
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:31,079
like who so three first round picks, especially if you

801
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:33,199
could talk to yourself into Janni's not being there for

802
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,519
the latter two, that's a lot for the Bucks. I

803
00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:39,199
just don't know when we're even thinking about the you're

804
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,719
you're giving And I would agree with you what you

805
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,519
think you need the level of player to be. I

806
00:39:44,519 --> 00:39:46,599
don't even have a name that springs to mind though,

807
00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:49,639
because it's does Jared Jackson Junior get.

808
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 2: It's another rea I mean, obviously the picks are the

809
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,800
biggest one, but another reason to wait for the offseason

810
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,719
because they like then we've been saying the same, like

811
00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:01,519
I don't the same names that like aren't great for

812
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,360
weeks now in terms of like who's out there at

813
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,039
the deadline, what I can say, I don't think Jared

814
00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:11,159
Jackson Junior is like realistically available at the moment I

815
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,920
was talking about three.

816
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, they couldn't get him even if he were right.

817
00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:19,039
Speaker 2: I'm just saying like, I just think, like, man, I

818
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:23,679
don't know, I don't know. The specter of like physical

819
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,199
decline is now a bigger factor for me. Maybe that's

820
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,440
the biggest change, is like yet another calf injury or

821
00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:33,280
like as the Bucks are you thinking, well, okay, from

822
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,199
our side now, it's like maybe it won't take a

823
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,400
trade demand because like we're just watching the trajectory.

824
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: Do you think that do you think that the Bucks

825
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,639
have the gall just knowing how important he is from

826
00:40:44,639 --> 00:40:47,920
a business model perspective, even if fans are frustrated with

827
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,480
some of the stuff he's been saying, how important he

828
00:40:51,519 --> 00:40:53,320
is from a business perspective, Do you think that the

829
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,719
Bucks can actually make the decision themselves.

830
00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:00,639
Speaker 2: No, I don't think they could unilize early, do it.

831
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,840
I think maybe this this makes Oh well, the next

832
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,280
thing from the offseason is like, okay, so we've at

833
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,960
least gone down this road a little bit, right, Fellas Like,

834
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,719
it does seem like the injury might make them more

835
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,400
open to approaching Gianness with like, hey, you're calling the shots,

836
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:20,239
but what do you think about this? You know, like

837
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,320
maybe that's already happened if they talk to the Knicks.

838
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,199
It feels like that as well. It seems like that

839
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,440
already did happen once. Maybe that's the specific circumstance, But.

840
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,519
Speaker 1: I hear quarantine towns might be available if they're look,

841
00:41:32,039 --> 00:41:32,599
you gotta look.

842
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, We were both on record of

843
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,880
like it'd be cool if Jannis was a one team

844
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,239
player for his whole career, but like, I don't know.

845
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: He just here. I want you to throw the championships

846
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
and legacy out of the equation for a second and

847
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:51,079
just look at the organizations that we're talking about right now,

848
00:41:51,119 --> 00:41:55,519
between Milwaukee and Golden State. Which team do you think

849
00:41:55,559 --> 00:41:58,719
would be more inclined to mortgage the future for the

850
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:03,960
other Star Warriors going after Giannis, or if the Dubs

851
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,400
decide and Steph decide, that would be time for a change,

852
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,000
the Bucks going all in for Steph?

853
00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:13,159
Speaker 2: Which franchise do you the Bucks going? The Bucks have

854
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,000
done it like several times for lesser players, you know,

855
00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:18,880
like they've already the Bucks have shown you their preferences,

856
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,920
Like the Warriors have been the complete opposite, you know that.

857
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:23,840
You know, we'll take Kevin Durant if he wants to

858
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,039
sign with us. But like, what's the Like, holy shit,

859
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:28,679
they went for it trade Like even Jimmy Butler came

860
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,679
at a discount, you know, like the Bucks. The Bucks

861
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:33,960
lived it. That's the Bucks life. They love it. They

862
00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:37,480
love going for it. Yeah, don't don't you agree? Like,

863
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:40,119
isn't it way more likely the Bucks would sell off

864
00:42:40,159 --> 00:42:42,639
everything for a great player to put with the honest

865
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,679
they keep doing it.

866
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right, just because the way the

867
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,519
Warriors kind of waited for a Jimmy Butler opportunity where

868
00:42:49,519 --> 00:42:53,800
the cost was so low, which by the way were you.

869
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,159
Were you at the point of the Warriors where I've

870
00:42:55,159 --> 00:42:56,480
seen a lot of people that they should just go

871
00:42:56,519 --> 00:42:58,679
and trade for Klay Thompson back. Have you reached that

872
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:59,159
point of.

873
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: Literally made that argument. I think they should one hundred

874
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,599
percent trade Cominga and Buddy Healed for Andrew Wiggins. Let's

875
00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:06,679
at least if it's going to be hopeless, let's just

876
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,679
all hold hands while the ship goes down.

877
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: Would you give up a first round pick to make

878
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:10,880
that happen?

879
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: I don't think you have to. I think if you give,

880
00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:16,119
if you give the heat Minga and Healed and the heater,

881
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,519
like we're we care about cap space, We're worried about

882
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,360
Wiggins picking up thirty million dollars. Uh, we'll take a

883
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:22,880
three million.

884
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:24,599
Speaker 1: Can make about you again?

885
00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:28,079
Speaker 2: I might give up our twenties ours? Who I did it?

886
00:43:28,119 --> 00:43:34,679
I finally I finally crossed over. I'm so washed. I

887
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:37,760
would I think the Warriors should consider giving up a

888
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,639
twenty six first if they think Wiggins gets that pick

889
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:42,280
into the twenties. Like, who gives a shit?

890
00:43:42,519 --> 00:43:46,519
Speaker 1: You know, I just assume I just want assuming they

891
00:43:46,559 --> 00:43:48,199
would pick in the twenties.

892
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 2: Right, I just want to be pleasant as as the

893
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,239
sun goes down, and Andrew Wiggins makes me happy, so

894
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,719
I'm not for it.

895
00:43:55,119 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: So I think we're in agreement with Milwaukee that I

896
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,679
don't actually think the Yawnas injury changes anything other than

897
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,840
if they weren't going to trade their first round pick before,

898
00:44:04,559 --> 00:44:05,960
or if they were if they were open to it.

899
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,599
There's no way you could be open to it now.

900
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,920
There's just nothing. That's the only thing that changes. Like

901
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,119
I think if you were if the now, if a

902
00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:14,880
deal presents itself to where you get zach Lavine and

903
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,480
all you're giving up is Kuzma Porter, Bobby Portis, I'm

904
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,079
just throwing a name out there, I think they would

905
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:23,199
still do something like that because they could say, well,

906
00:44:23,519 --> 00:44:25,880
we don't have our own pick this year. Giannis is

907
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,559
gonna come back at some point. We'll try and fight

908
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:28,880
and get in the play in and then we get

909
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,360
to reevaluate with either this big expiring salary or maybe

910
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,400
it works out we'll have these three first round picks.

911
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,559
I think that was always the smart court. It was,

912
00:44:37,599 --> 00:44:39,440
honestly to me, the only course when you look at

913
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,400
the potential Yanna suitors out there, and I think that

914
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,119
that's just still the only maybe you're less likely to

915
00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:47,840
make the we don't want to turn the poo poo

916
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,599
platter of contracts into a singular big one, so maybe

917
00:44:50,639 --> 00:44:51,639
that's less likely.

918
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 2: To Yeah, I think that's fair. Just the more drastic actions,

919
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,719
which were inadvisable to begin with, are just like less

920
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,800
likely now. And the other thing, like I said, is

921
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,039
like if if this is finally the thing that gets

922
00:45:03,039 --> 00:45:04,719
you honest to say, like get me out of here, guys,

923
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,719
that this is this is enough. But I don't know,

924
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,360
I don't know that it would have that the injury

925
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:09,679
would have.

926
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: Well if he did, I think I asked you this before.

927
00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:15,079
Are you even trading him? If you're if he has

928
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,119
out for right now, I'm not. If I'm the Bucks, No,

929
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,159
this is gonna wait until the off season when I

930
00:45:19,159 --> 00:45:20,079
think that there's more of a bit.

931
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,679
Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry, No, no, No, that's that's funny. I

932
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:25,000
think you're I think you're That would be the smart

933
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,039
way to play it, because it's like, so if we

934
00:45:29,079 --> 00:45:30,800
say no, he's going to be mad and ask for

935
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:31,199
a trade.

936
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,519
Speaker 1: He just did like there's nowhere further to go, And

937
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,079
it's just how much do you think, like how much

938
00:45:36,559 --> 00:45:41,159
do the offers decline, we can trade for injured Yannis now.

939
00:45:41,199 --> 00:45:44,639
Speaker 2: Right, nobody against the Bucks if they pissed off Gannest

940
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,079
because he finally asked for a trade that everyone was

941
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,440
like kind of like hoping he would ask for. Yeah,

942
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,239
I think I think that. I think you're right about that.

943
00:45:55,559 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: It is time for stat padding. We've got lots of

944
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:04,800
fun stuff planned for this one, grant. Did you want

945
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,000
me to throw something at you first? Do you want to?

946
00:46:08,559 --> 00:46:09,000
I want to.

947
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: I want to try this because if it's near the beginning,

948
00:46:12,519 --> 00:46:14,480
it'll be easier to cut. Maybe if it doesn't work,

949
00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:19,920
I'm not cutting all this could really just end up

950
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,599
in a ditch. So just so you know, all right,

951
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,000
So I have some questions for you. They are basically

952
00:46:26,039 --> 00:46:29,360
all They are entirely all trade related, because I feel

953
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,880
like you have a really good head for remembering like

954
00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:37,239
what went where when you're shaking your you don't.

955
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,159
Speaker 1: We're about to find out.

956
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we'll see, all right, So we'll start

957
00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:44,679
most recently. I've got an easy, a medium, and a

958
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:47,239
hard trade related question for you. So we're going to

959
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,159
go back to focus your mind around the trade deadline.

960
00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:54,039
Because these are all in the like up to and

961
00:46:54,119 --> 00:46:56,000
on the trade deadline trade, So it's not going to

962
00:46:56,079 --> 00:47:00,320
be some off season thing or January or whatever. Twenty

963
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,559
twenty five, this is the easy question, Dan. Who did

964
00:47:03,559 --> 00:47:06,079
the MAVs get when they traded Quentin Grimes and a

965
00:47:06,119 --> 00:47:08,880
twenty twenty five second to the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

966
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,559
Caleb Martin correct The Books Podcast Fay of Caleb Martin.

967
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,599
That's easy, all right, Dan? A medium difficulty twenty twenty

968
00:47:19,599 --> 00:47:23,480
five trade deadline question. The Lakers tried and failed to

969
00:47:23,519 --> 00:47:26,199
get Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets. That trade was

970
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,480
voided by a failed physical who was in the Charlotte

971
00:47:29,519 --> 00:47:33,159
package he headed to Charlotte from the Lakers in that trade.

972
00:47:33,159 --> 00:47:35,199
I'll give you a point for every major asset you

973
00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:35,840
can name.

974
00:47:36,199 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: Wait going from Charlotte to the Lakers.

975
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,559
Speaker 2: No, the Lakers were getting Mark Williams. Who were the

976
00:47:42,639 --> 00:47:44,920
Lakers going to trade away to get Mark Williams?

977
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,159
Speaker 1: Ooh, Dalton Connect correct?

978
00:47:48,159 --> 00:47:48,679
Speaker 2: One point?

979
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,679
Speaker 1: Do draft picks count?

980
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,559
Speaker 2: Yes? They do? If you can remember.

981
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:56,679
Speaker 1: Dalton Connect and their twenty thirty one first.

982
00:47:56,559 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 2: Round pick, that's two points. There are two other assets

983
00:47:59,360 --> 00:47:59,800
in it that.

984
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,639
Speaker 1: I let me say was Jordan Goodwin in that trade.

985
00:48:02,639 --> 00:48:03,239
They didn't seem to.

986
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 2: No, there's only one no, not as far as.

987
00:48:06,639 --> 00:48:09,559
Speaker 1: I'm wasn't there a swap, a twenty thirty swap?

988
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,119
Speaker 2: Oh a million points awarded for remembering the twenty thirty

989
00:48:13,159 --> 00:48:15,119
swap the other there's another player.

990
00:48:15,199 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: Let me so, I'm trying to I'm trying to think

991
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,239
it wasn't Bronni. I know it wasn't Bronnie.

992
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 2: Safe assumption, that's right.

993
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: Because the money wouldn't have aligned up. Who was gonna

994
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,559
go Because it wasn't Jackson Hayes either.

995
00:48:30,599 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 2: It was a It was a wing who was once

996
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,280
a highly doubted prospect that has been on.

997
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: Oh, Cam Reddish.

998
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 2: That is right, Cam Reddish, that's a trillion points. That

999
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,480
was excellent medium difficulty achieved. So I don't know if

1000
00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:46,519
this is fair to call it the hard difficulty. At

1001
00:48:46,519 --> 00:48:50,480
the twenty twenty five trade deadline, the Knicks were involved

1002
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:56,360
in the Kyle Kuzma Chris Middleton trade. Who do they get?

1003
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,960
Oh my god, just as a refresher. Kuzma goes from Walker,

1004
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:04,480
Washington to Milwaukee. Middleton obviously goes the other way. Several

1005
00:49:04,519 --> 00:49:08,000
other players involved, but the Knicks weaseled, weaseled his too

1006
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,400
strong a word nosed in there. They ended up with

1007
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:10,840
a player.

1008
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: Oh this is great because I don't I don't remember

1009
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,039
this at all.

1010
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:16,559
Speaker 2: A J.

1011
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,519
Speaker 1: Johnson went to the Wizards. Justin Champagnee stayed with the Wizards.

1012
00:49:21,519 --> 00:49:25,559
That wasn't cool much muchier dismissed, Still upset about that.

1013
00:49:26,559 --> 00:49:29,599
Who did they get? Oh my god, I don't. I

1014
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:31,800
don't even have a name to throw, like I'm trying

1015
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,519
to think of Campaign was already on the team. Delawn

1016
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:39,000
Wright was already on the was it the lawn right?

1017
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 2: It was the lawn right? Okay? Job? He played like

1018
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,400
fourteen games for the next that year. I had the doronthy.

1019
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: Cowns is still upset that he a hero left with

1020
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,239
Campaign this season ruined.

1021
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 2: Oh I'm I'm very you delivered. Man.

1022
00:49:53,039 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: Uh that was like I had to go through, like

1023
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,039
who was on their roster last year? That wasn't that

1024
00:49:58,079 --> 00:49:58,639
was terrible.

1025
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,639
Speaker 2: It is a little bit of a cheap making the

1026
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,320
hard level a Knicks related one, But I.

1027
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,639
Speaker 1: Thought that that was that was good. I forgot how

1028
00:50:05,679 --> 00:50:07,800
they stumbled into Delane. I was like, was he on

1029
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,280
the roster the entire season? I couldn't, but I remember

1030
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,239
he was in Milwaukee.

1031
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,079
Speaker 2: Would you like to try your hand at the twenty

1032
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:14,280
twenty four trade deadline?

1033
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: Oh, this is gonna be awful.

1034
00:50:15,519 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 2: Let's do it all right, here's the easy one. I

1035
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,079
think this rates is easy. So at the twenty twenty

1036
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:24,239
four deadline, the Knicks finally traded Evan Fournier along with

1037
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,119
three other players and two second rounders. Where did they

1038
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:30,039
trade him? What did they get?

1039
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 1: They traded Evan Fournier to the Detroit Pistons, and they

1040
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:40,280
got back boy on Bogdanovic And they also got was

1041
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,760
that the j that was the genesis of them getting

1042
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,679
the Detroit pick that became Johann Behnje Right, Oh, I

1043
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:47,920
don't know about that part.

1044
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,559
Speaker 2: You're way deeper in the weeds. There's another player that

1045
00:50:50,599 --> 00:50:51,079
they got.

1046
00:50:52,039 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 3: It was played Bydanovich and oh then they fuck hey

1047
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:02,360
all this is gonna bug the shit.

1048
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,199
Speaker 2: Oh shake Milton No, no scoring guard that has like

1049
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,639
had real moments on several teams. I think he's out

1050
00:51:10,639 --> 00:51:11,360
of the league now.

1051
00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: I wouldn't endorsement.

1052
00:51:15,559 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 2: He's been on the Warriors, he's been on the Knicks,

1053
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,400
he's been on the Jazz, he's been on the man.

1054
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,639
Where else has he been to look him up? Now?

1055
00:51:25,039 --> 00:51:30,639
Speaker 1: Now the Warriors scoring guard thought they hated those Draymond punches.

1056
00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:35,199
Speaker 2: Those Let's see he played for the Heat last year.

1057
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,320
He played forty nine games for the Heat last year.

1058
00:51:37,639 --> 00:51:39,639
So he only got twenty three games with the Knicks

1059
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,800
in twenty three, twenty four before that Detroit, before that

1060
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,039
the Knicks. Oh, that should be your hint. Two years

1061
00:51:47,079 --> 00:51:49,280
with the Knicks in twenty one and twenty two, then

1062
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:50,920
to Detroit, then back to the Knicks.

1063
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna say it, and I'm gonna hate myself for

1064
00:51:54,599 --> 00:51:55,559
this was the easy one.

1065
00:51:55,639 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 2: Holy crap. Well, you got a lot of the points here,

1066
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,360
there's there. I was gonna give you bonus points if

1067
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,440
you could name who else went out with Fournier, but

1068
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,440
we don't need If you would like to do that,

1069
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,480
that that could get you additional points. That don't mean anything.

1070
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:12,119
Speaker 1: Who went out with four Well Grimes was in that.

1071
00:52:12,079 --> 00:52:14,159
Speaker 2: Deal, correct, that's the big one.

1072
00:52:15,639 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: Who else wasn't that trade?

1073
00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 2: All right?

1074
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: No, you're gonna have to all right.

1075
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,519
Speaker 2: So also it looks again this is cursory research because

1076
00:52:22,559 --> 00:52:24,559
I don't remember I remember the fourty a trade in

1077
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,239
broad strokes but Malachi Flynn and Ryan Archidiacano also went

1078
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:33,679
with two seconds from New York. Archid, So do you

1079
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,199
want to know the scoring guard that came back with

1080
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:43,159
Bogdanovich that you'll hate yourself for? Yes, one, Alec Burks.

1081
00:52:44,039 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: Damn it. Yeah, I should have known that one. That's egregious.

1082
00:52:46,599 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: That's all right, may let's get to the medium difficulty.

1083
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,519
You got like forty seven out of a ninety two

1084
00:52:51,559 --> 00:52:55,039
possible points on that one, so still pretty good. Dan

1085
00:52:55,079 --> 00:52:57,760
Two players and a twenty twenty seven first round er

1086
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,519
with top two protection went to Dallas from Charlot for PJ.

1087
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,679
Washington who went the other.

1088
00:53:02,559 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: Way, oh Man, Grant Williams.

1089
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:13,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one. The other one is a little Josh Green. No, no, right,

1090
00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:15,239
that sounds like it should be true, but I don't

1091
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,920
think it is. That must have been looking up you

1092
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,039
could see. This is my worry about all these is

1093
00:53:21,039 --> 00:53:24,679
that I missed an asset. There is another player, though

1094
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,920
it was, who's a very famous last name.

1095
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,199
Speaker 1: That doesn't I don't know if the hell that's supposed

1096
00:53:34,199 --> 00:53:37,199
to help me. Grant Williams and who went from Dallas

1097
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:41,880
in that Charlotte trade. We know it's not Dwight Powell,

1098
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,480
who will get a statue at some point in Dallas.

1099
00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:49,119
I don't think I'm gonna get this one either, Seth Curry,

1100
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,599
Oh yeah, I never would have got there.

1101
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: This This is the true hard difficulty at the twenty

1102
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,840
twenty four if I could speak, at the twenty twenty

1103
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:03,960
four trade deadline, Gordon Hayward, who you may remember, went

1104
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,239
to the Oklahoma City Thunder from Charlotte. Can you name

1105
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:12,079
any player in the package that went the other way?

1106
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:14,280
Speaker 1: Alexey Pokaevsky?

1107
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 2: Nope, I like where you had that though.

1108
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,519
Speaker 1: That wasn't the Charlotte acquired too many former OKC players.

1109
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 2: Wasn't the trey Man year either. It was the Trey

1110
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,639
Man is one of those players. A million points awarded

1111
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:31,880
for getting trey Man. He's the only player. Oh shit,

1112
00:54:32,119 --> 00:54:34,400
he's the only player still in the league. Of the

1113
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,960
backs that went back for Gordon Hayward. This was not

1114
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:37,679
that long ago.

1115
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: Oh who was the other one? There's another player? Who

1116
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,039
am I forgetting.

1117
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 2: Both? I don't know, Okay, really good to get trey

1118
00:54:49,039 --> 00:54:54,440
Manu Vasilia Michic was one and the other was Davas Berton's.

1119
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,679
Speaker 1: Oh, Damas Burton should have been the name I went

1120
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:57,239
to first.

1121
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 2: Well, Trey Man is at least like still on the team.

1122
00:55:01,559 --> 00:55:04,400
That helps. Do you want to give me some or

1123
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,400
should I go to twenty twenty three for you?

1124
00:55:07,159 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's book end date with twenty twenty three.

1125
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 2: All right, let's see just to place you in time,

1126
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,480
twenty twenty three is the year of Kdie to Phoenix,

1127
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:19,400
uh for Bridges and Cam Johnson and all that fun stuff.

1128
00:55:19,679 --> 00:55:22,440
So that's that's when we are. Here's the easy question.

1129
00:55:22,519 --> 00:55:25,119
There's a three team trade between the Lakers, Jazz and

1130
00:55:25,199 --> 00:55:28,119
Wolves that involves Russell Westbrook. I will give you a

1131
00:55:28,119 --> 00:55:31,440
point for every other player. There are seven total that

1132
00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:34,880
you can name in that three team deal. Oh man,

1133
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:35,719
So is.

1134
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: The three team trade between the Lakers, Wizards and who.

1135
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,519
Speaker 2: Lakers, Jazz and Wolves. It's so Russ goes to the Jazz.

1136
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,559
Speaker 1: When the Lakers are trading.

1137
00:55:44,679 --> 00:55:48,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're giving up Russ. They're they're they're ending the experiment.

1138
00:55:49,039 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: Mike Conley went to the Jazz, Kyle Anderson go to

1139
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,760
the Wolves. Is that a Kyle Anderson trade.

1140
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 2: Kyle Anderson is not in that deal as nearly as

1141
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,360
I can tell. Conley goes to the Wolves in that one.

1142
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,079
But yeah, you're you're right, he's.

1143
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,599
Speaker 1: In was involved in that trade because Russ was expensive.

1144
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,480
Jared Vanderbilt ended up on the Lakers as part of

1145
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:10,920
that trade.

1146
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 2: Correct, that's two points.

1147
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: You How many players did you say we're involved in

1148
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:15,239
that trade?

1149
00:56:15,519 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 2: Seven?

1150
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: Seven? Holy holy smokes.

1151
00:56:20,039 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 2: There's there's two that you won't get. So basically, there's

1152
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,719
three more names that you'll you'll like. Are you definitely know.

1153
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: Who did the Wolves trade as part of that? Well,

1154
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:32,760
Jared Vanderbilt was on the Wolves.

1155
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:33,599
Speaker 2: Orth he Jazz?

1156
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: Only crap, this is so hard, Okay, So I have

1157
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:41,599
Jared Vanderbilt, Mike Conley, who else? Wolves? Jazz?

1158
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:47,559
Speaker 2: And how about this? The best player today by a

1159
00:56:47,639 --> 00:56:52,679
lot is one that you haven't named? And he went

1160
00:56:53,079 --> 00:56:55,239
I'll just make it. He went from the Jazz to

1161
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:56,559
the Wolves.

1162
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:03,599
Speaker 1: Oh, he went from the Jazz to the Wolves and

1163
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:09,559
is the best player by a lot today a lot?

1164
00:57:10,519 --> 00:57:14,559
Oh the heck day. And also he's not on the

1165
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,840
Wolves anymore. No, wait this because he left it free.

1166
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,559
It was Joe Angles as part of this deal. Nope, nope,

1167
00:57:20,599 --> 00:57:22,039
I don't think I don't have him as one of

1168
00:57:22,079 --> 00:57:26,480
the sets. Right, he was traded to the Wolves and

1169
00:57:26,559 --> 00:57:29,960
is the best player by a lot.

1170
00:57:31,519 --> 00:57:33,119
Speaker 2: Now, I really want you to get this guy, so

1171
00:57:33,199 --> 00:57:36,800
I'll give you an additional hint. This player was I

1172
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,159
was he? I think he was? Yeah? He was drafted

1173
00:57:39,159 --> 00:57:43,199
by the Pelicans, wound up on the Jazz, was traded

1174
00:57:43,199 --> 00:57:46,199
to the Wolves in this deal, and is now not

1175
00:57:46,239 --> 00:57:49,119
on the Wolves anymore either, And he's easily the best He.

1176
00:57:49,119 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: Was drafted by the Pelicans, Yeah, traded, I think he was.

1177
00:57:54,039 --> 00:57:56,079
It could have been like one of those Lakers picks

1178
00:57:56,119 --> 00:57:59,960
that the Pelicans controlled, but he plays first for the

1179
00:58:00,119 --> 00:58:03,000
Pelicans very quickly. D'Angelo Russell was part of this deal.

1180
00:58:03,039 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: Correct, You're correct that is not bet player, but not

1181
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:07,840
the best player that I'm referring to.

1182
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,519
Speaker 1: Wait, what was that?

1183
00:58:11,599 --> 00:58:13,559
Speaker 2: This is so much fun. I hope you're enjoying this

1184
00:58:13,599 --> 00:58:14,960
because I'm really enjoying this.

1185
00:58:15,079 --> 00:58:17,159
Speaker 1: What is that line of transactions? Again?

1186
00:58:17,199 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: He was drafted by drafted by the Pelicans in the

1187
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,119
twenty nineteen draft.

1188
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: Uh?

1189
00:58:25,159 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 2: Was he was the number seventeen pick in that draft.

1190
00:58:28,239 --> 00:58:33,760
Uh plays a year and a half with New Orleans

1191
00:58:34,239 --> 00:58:37,199
before he's traded or is it maybe two two and

1192
00:58:37,239 --> 00:58:41,559
a half, then goes to Utah, then is in Utah

1193
00:58:41,679 --> 00:58:44,320
until this trade, which we're at the twenty three deadline,

1194
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,719
goes to Minnesota, plays the end of twenty two to

1195
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,840
twenty three with the Wolves all of twenty three, twenty four,

1196
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,599
all of twenty four to twenty five, and this year

1197
00:58:53,719 --> 00:58:55,039
is not on the Wolves anymore.

1198
00:58:56,079 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh, Nikile Alexander Walker.

1199
00:58:58,079 --> 00:59:04,159
Speaker 2: Crazy, right, that dude's a throw in in that deal. Yeah,

1200
00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:08,119
let's see there is. I wouldn't have got any of

1201
00:59:08,159 --> 00:59:09,719
the other names in it, would you like to know?

1202
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,119
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna name it as Jordan Goodwood involved in

1203
00:59:12,159 --> 00:59:12,599
any of this?

1204
00:59:13,119 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.

1205
00:59:14,639 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: Right, that's tough.

1206
00:59:16,639 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 2: So I'll give you the two that you weren't going

1207
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,119
to get just because they're former Warriors and that are

1208
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,239
deeply obscure. Damian Jones, the big big Man, and then

1209
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:30,440
want Ascano Anderson good Old JTA was also in this.

1210
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,679
Speaker 1: Deal, and I used to be in the bag for

1211
00:59:32,719 --> 00:59:33,119
that dude.

1212
00:59:33,719 --> 00:59:34,719
Speaker 2: Were we all were?

1213
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:35,079
Speaker 3: Well?

1214
00:59:35,719 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 2: Uh, the other big ish name, which is like I

1215
00:59:39,079 --> 00:59:41,679
just now that I when I looked it up, I

1216
00:59:41,719 --> 00:59:46,079
was like, oh, right, Malik Beasley goes. I think let's

1217
00:59:46,119 --> 00:59:49,360
go from you. Did he go to Utah to Minnesota? Right?

1218
00:59:49,599 --> 00:59:51,440
Is that the way it went, could have been the

1219
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:52,360
other way. Hard to remember.

1220
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,239
Speaker 1: Wasn't he he went from Minnesota?

1221
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 2: Did he go the other way?

1222
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,599
Speaker 1: Because who did he? Wasn't he? He was odd the Lakers.

1223
01:00:00,719 --> 01:00:02,239
What didn't he go from?

1224
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:03,199
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look at this.

1225
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: So he goes Lakers from Utah to the Lakers.

1226
01:00:06,639 --> 01:00:10,039
Speaker 2: Denver to start his career to Minnesota. He goes Minnesota

1227
01:00:10,039 --> 01:00:12,400
to Utah and then the next year is on the Lakers,

1228
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:16,519
then Bucks, then Pistons, then Persona non grada and is

1229
01:00:16,559 --> 01:00:20,199
not playing basketball this year. Uh okay, you got like

1230
01:00:20,719 --> 01:00:23,039
several of the points for that one. So medium from

1231
01:00:23,079 --> 01:00:27,039
twenty twenty three? Oh my god. Can you see there's

1232
01:00:27,039 --> 01:00:29,239
not a lot of like rhyme or reason to what's easy,

1233
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,280
medium or hard here? This is a Knicks related one,

1234
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,280
so you're welcome. At the twenty twenty three trade deadline,

1235
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,360
the Knicks acquired Josh Hart from the Portland Trailblazers. Can

1236
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,599
you name any of the other assets in the deal?

1237
01:00:41,159 --> 01:00:45,719
There are let's see one, two, three, four of note

1238
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:53,239
of note, Holy shit, maybe a real note? He pops

1239
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,559
up again. Another cam Reddish mentioned they.

1240
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Gave up a first round pick.

1241
01:00:58,960 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 2: Three, first top fourteen per tent.

1242
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:06,559
Speaker 1: That's correct, So there's two more of note. You said, yes,

1243
01:01:07,199 --> 01:01:09,239
Camp Radish, where's the matching There had to be other

1244
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,039
matching salary involved in that deal.

1245
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 2: You got Camp. I'm pretty impressed you've got Cam Reddish. Uh.

1246
01:01:17,119 --> 01:01:19,880
Also popping up again as Ryan Archidiacano, which I don't

1247
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,000
think you're gonna get. Maybe.

1248
01:01:21,039 --> 01:01:22,519
Speaker 1: I actually thought about saying him, but I was like,

1249
01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:24,599
there's no way he was involved in this deal. But

1250
01:01:24,679 --> 01:01:25,559
the other guy.

1251
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 2: Is at least still on the Blazers.

1252
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: Still on the Blazers.

1253
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,639
Speaker 2: Yep, ah, I'm not.

1254
01:01:37,039 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't think how did this?

1255
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,679
Speaker 2: How did this happen? This is what I gotta give it.

1256
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,599
I gotta just tell you because I'm looking this up,

1257
01:01:45,639 --> 01:01:47,800
and there must have been a third team involved somehow

1258
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,639
or something, because it's matist t Thibel.

1259
01:01:50,559 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, was never on the Knicks.

1260
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 2: Never on the nick There must have been rope them

1261
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:59,159
in from the Sixers somehow. All right, let's move to hard. Oh,

1262
01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:01,719
then you should get this one. Actually, I have confidence

1263
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:01,960
in you.

1264
01:02:03,039 --> 01:02:04,519
Speaker 1: This is this is gonna end so poor.

1265
01:02:04,639 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 2: At the twenty twenty three trade deadline, the Toronto Raptors

1266
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:11,039
traded Kem Birch a twenty twenty four first rounder with

1267
01:02:11,119 --> 01:02:16,039
top six protection and seconds to the Spurs. Who did

1268
01:02:16,079 --> 01:02:16,719
they get back?

1269
01:02:17,239 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Yaka Perdl?

1270
01:02:18,239 --> 01:02:20,199
Speaker 2: That's correct. I just want to make you talk about

1271
01:02:20,239 --> 01:02:22,400
Yaka Peerdl because you hate his contracts so much.

1272
01:02:22,519 --> 01:02:26,079
Speaker 1: All right, I mean, I mean didn't they was that

1273
01:02:26,159 --> 01:02:28,239
like the first time they signed him to their extension?

1274
01:02:28,239 --> 01:02:29,480
That makes ten since.

1275
01:02:29,239 --> 01:02:31,599
Speaker 2: Then, right, that was the beginning, because they're like, we

1276
01:02:31,599 --> 01:02:34,039
gave up a first for this guy. We were proc committed.

1277
01:02:34,079 --> 01:02:37,079
We've got to keep giving him money. I'm gonna keep

1278
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:39,360
twenty twenty two in the holster in case you want

1279
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,880
to subject yourself to this punishment again down the line.

1280
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was an excellent exercise. That was insane.

1281
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:47,679
Speaker 2: I think you did well.

1282
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:52,519
Speaker 1: Here's open so grant for you. Well, I guess it's

1283
01:02:52,519 --> 01:02:55,000
really for us because I get I don't know if

1284
01:02:55,039 --> 01:02:56,320
you get a lot of this, but there are a

1285
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,719
lot of people who think our jobs are easy and

1286
01:03:00,079 --> 01:03:05,320
that AI could replace them. And I decided to ask

1287
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,719
to see just chat GPT. No ball is what we're

1288
01:03:08,719 --> 01:03:12,159
trying to figure out here, and so I put this

1289
01:03:12,239 --> 01:03:15,000
is the prompt I used. I asked for realistic, original

1290
01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:17,159
trade ideas. This is the same prompt I use for

1291
01:03:17,199 --> 01:03:19,719
every team and we'll talk about and also i'll give

1292
01:03:19,719 --> 01:03:22,119
you I think there's gonna be a live option of

1293
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:24,519
you pick a team or two. We'll feed it into

1294
01:03:24,639 --> 01:03:27,559
chat GPT and see what they spit out, which I

1295
01:03:27,559 --> 01:03:30,079
think will be another fun element. So the prompt I

1296
01:03:30,199 --> 01:03:33,840
sent to chat GPT was, can you send me an

1297
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,480
original trade idea for Team X at the twenty twenty

1298
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,079
six NBA trade deadline with a full breakdown of the

1299
01:03:41,079 --> 01:03:45,360
financial impact, any pick protections, and who's going in and

1300
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,880
who's going out. That seems thorough enough, right, these things

1301
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,320
are supposed to replace us. That seems thorough enough. Great.

1302
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,159
Speaker 2: It should be easy, shouldn't it.

1303
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,599
Speaker 1: You would think so. The first trade for the Knicks

1304
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,119
from chat GPT, the Knicks receive twenty twenty six I

1305
01:04:03,159 --> 01:04:04,400
put this in there. I want to make that clear.

1306
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:11,880
The Knicks received McHale Bridges. The Nets receive Quenton Grimes,

1307
01:04:12,199 --> 01:04:15,280
Mitchell Robinson, a twenty twenty seven first round pick with

1308
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,239
top ten protection, and a twenty twenty nine first round

1309
01:04:18,239 --> 01:04:21,840
pick with top eight protection. Now, let me point out

1310
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,480
all the ways in which this is impossible. Mcale Bridges

1311
01:04:25,519 --> 01:04:28,679
is already on the Knicks. The Knicks cannot trade their

1312
01:04:28,719 --> 01:04:31,199
twenty twenty seven or twenty twenty nine first round picks,

1313
01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:35,239
and Quentin Grimes currently plays for the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

1314
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:40,440
The Knicks already traded him. Mitchell Robinson is the only player.

1315
01:04:41,079 --> 01:04:43,119
Speaker 2: Other than that, though pretty good.

1316
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: I bet you the Knicks are wishing that this is

1317
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,119
what they coughed up for mcal Bridges.

1318
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,519
Speaker 2: I just want this recorded that I think AI is

1319
01:04:51,639 --> 01:04:54,920
great and that when it is in charge, I want

1320
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,199
to be remembered as thinking all of its ideas are

1321
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:03,480
very smart. So good job chat GPT, Please don't exterminate me?

1322
01:05:04,079 --> 01:05:05,960
Is that sufficient? Can we go for it?

1323
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: That's like?

1324
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 2: How bad?

1325
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:07,159
Speaker 1: Is that?

1326
01:05:07,159 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

1327
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: Well? Hey, hey, it gets better? Oh good, sort of

1328
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:18,320
does chat GPT No Ball Golden State Warriors edition. The

1329
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,960
Golden State Warriors received Nick Claxton. That's 'ro off two

1330
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,239
go start, you have my attention. The Nets received Jonathan

1331
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,519
kaminga Gary Payton, a second and a twenty twenty eight

1332
01:05:29,519 --> 01:05:33,119
first round pick with top four protection and grant. If

1333
01:05:33,119 --> 01:05:35,719
it lands in the top four twenty twenty eight, it

1334
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,039
rolls to twenty twenty nine with the same top four protection.

1335
01:05:39,519 --> 01:05:42,480
If it still doesn't convey it converts to two second

1336
01:05:42,599 --> 01:05:47,320
rounders in twenty thirty and twenty thirty two. That's look,

1337
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,719
that's not that's not bad. Now. The issue here is

1338
01:05:53,159 --> 01:05:55,800
this trade is illegal because the Warriors are taking on

1339
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,239
six hundred thousand dollars in salary. They also the way

1340
01:06:00,239 --> 01:06:03,320
that they could trade that first round pick, but you

1341
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,360
can't have it roll into two seconds because they don't

1342
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,639
control their second round picks in twenty thirty or twenty

1343
01:06:08,639 --> 01:06:11,239
thirty two. So if you mean us that and include

1344
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:15,559
more salary, this is not. This is not and the Warriors.

1345
01:06:15,679 --> 01:06:17,519
Nick Claxton's interesting on the Warriors.

1346
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,719
Speaker 2: That's one. That's one that would be good enough to

1347
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,400
fool people and get aggregated. I think it pretty heavily.

1348
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,039
I think so big step forward from from from Clinton

1349
01:06:30,079 --> 01:06:33,239
Grimes being traded from the Knicks with two firsts. It's

1350
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:33,760
pretty good.

1351
01:06:35,079 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Does chat GPT no ball? Denver Nuggets edition, Are you ready, sir?

1352
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,599
Speaker 2: Please trade like five fresh round picks.

1353
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: The Denver Nuggets receive Derek White, the Boston Celtics receive

1354
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:56,239
Michael Porter Junior, the Nuggets twenty eight first round pick

1355
01:06:56,239 --> 01:06:59,199
with top ten protection, and the Nuggets is twenty thirty

1356
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,639
second round pick. My notes here are Denver already traded

1357
01:07:03,679 --> 01:07:07,239
Michael Porter Junior and their twenty twenty eight first and

1358
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,920
their twenty thirty second, and so this deal does not work.

1359
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,239
It also would not work from the Celtics' perspective of well,

1360
01:07:14,239 --> 01:07:16,159
maybe it would be sending out White salary, but that

1361
01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:16,840
doesn't matter.

1362
01:07:17,239 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 2: Nope. Oh man, have you thought about how maybe chat

1363
01:07:22,519 --> 01:07:24,760
GPT can see the future and there will come a

1364
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,559
time when Michael Porter Junior is back on the Nuggets

1365
01:07:27,559 --> 01:07:29,320
and will be traded for Derek White. I don't know

1366
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:30,679
how the Nuggets get their picks back.

1367
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,159
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of a problem with your theory, A.

1368
01:07:34,159 --> 01:07:35,679
Speaker 2: Little bit of a hang up on that one.

1369
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:43,519
Speaker 1: Does chat GPT no ball? San Antonio Spurs edition? Uh?

1370
01:07:43,559 --> 01:07:47,639
Here's the trade. The Spurs received Darius Garland Okay, he

1371
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:48,679
is an NBA player.

1372
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 2: I think that's cards there.

1373
01:07:50,679 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: The Cavaliers receive the Spurs' first round pick in twenty

1374
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:58,159
twenty seven, top eight protection, the spurs is twenty twenty

1375
01:07:58,199 --> 01:08:03,599
nine first round pick, top five protection, Devin vessel So okay,

1376
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:07,599
and Malachi Brandam, who currently plays for the Washington Reasons.

1377
01:08:07,719 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 2: That's me sticking point. Uh.

1378
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,719
Speaker 1: I mean that's close to possible, is it. But here's

1379
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,520
my thing. Why would the Spurs make that deal when

1380
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,239
danon Fox is on the roster, when you have Dylan Harper,

1381
01:08:20,279 --> 01:08:23,279
when you have Steph Cassele. Why is Darius Garland to focus?

1382
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,640
So the question is, does chat cheap et no ball?

1383
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 2: No? Oh hard, no hard no even it doesn't know

1384
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,159
rules one? But it also that that is a does

1385
01:08:35,239 --> 01:08:37,560
not know ball blinking red light.

1386
01:08:38,159 --> 01:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Now, the CBA trips up a lot of humans, so

1387
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:42,960
I AI is supposed to be better than us, so

1388
01:08:43,039 --> 01:08:45,119
I really shouldn't give it a pass. But the CBA

1389
01:08:45,239 --> 01:08:48,439
stuff that doesn't work. I can the whole salaries, all right,

1390
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:51,279
you figure it out. But getting the picks wrong, getting

1391
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:53,520
the team needs wrong, getting players.

1392
01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 2: Who are who aren't even on the tones.

1393
01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: That's rough. Okay, Grant does chat GPT no ball? Houston

1394
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:07,279
Rockets trade edition. The Houston Rockets received Drew Holliday. He

1395
01:09:07,319 --> 01:09:11,520
also is an NBA player. The Celtics receive Jalen Green

1396
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,960
and Cam Whitmore. A few issues here.

1397
01:09:15,199 --> 01:09:16,119
Speaker 2: Can I point one out?

1398
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:17,119
Speaker 1: Yeah? Go ahead.

1399
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:21,520
Speaker 2: The Rockets don't seem to be giving anybody up here, No,

1400
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,560
they don't touching requirement not fulfilled?

1401
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 1: And also like why are the Wizards and the Suns?

1402
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,239
Also what are they? How are they getting anything out

1403
01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:33,760
of this? See?

1404
01:09:34,359 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 2: Can we is there another bit we can do? That's

1405
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:42,000
like trying to understand why chat ept deeply does not

1406
01:09:42,079 --> 01:09:45,039
know ball in this instance, like clearly because well Cam

1407
01:09:45,079 --> 01:09:48,000
Whitmore shows up a lot with the Rockets over the

1408
01:09:48,079 --> 01:09:51,439
years because he used to play there, So that that

1409
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:52,279
that gets you there?

1410
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: What was it?

1411
01:09:53,079 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 2: Jalen Green? Same thing? How do the Celtics get involved here?

1412
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Is that where Drew hollidays Portland. There's five teams involved

1413
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,800
here and the two that chat GPT highlighted aren't giving

1414
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:06,800
up any players.

1415
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:11,239
Speaker 2: Like it's so fun to punch punch up at Hey,

1416
01:10:11,359 --> 01:10:13,279
this is great. I feel so strong and smart.

1417
01:10:14,359 --> 01:10:17,079
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. Now, I think it'd be funny to

1418
01:10:17,079 --> 01:10:19,960
to do a live one that we can both react to. So, okay,

1419
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,640
you want to give me a team that you think

1420
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:24,520
that we should try out and we'll see what chat

1421
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:25,680
GPT spits out.

1422
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 2: Okay, let's at least give it a team that could

1423
01:10:29,319 --> 01:10:33,319
like that's flexible, so there's room for it to be possible.

1424
01:10:33,399 --> 01:10:37,000
So should we include the Nets, because you know, let's.

1425
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Don't say had their chance with the Nets. As far

1426
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:39,520
as I'm concerned, the.

1427
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Trade, Okay, uh utah, let's involve the Jazz and let's

1428
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,359
have the Jazz execute a trade with.

1429
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 1: Oh you want to? Or let's include the other team?

1430
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 2: Oh?

1431
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:52,239
Speaker 1: I like that?

1432
01:10:53,399 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because otherwise it might be too easy. Let's let's

1433
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,319
have the Jazz trade, have a Jazz trade with the Bucks.

1434
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,920
Let's let's a team with a bunch of flexibility with

1435
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,279
a team that has very little.

1436
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:10,079
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Jazz and the Bucks chat GPT's idea.

1437
01:11:11,159 --> 01:11:14,239
Oh response, I'm gonna read it. Oh hell, yes, this

1438
01:11:14,359 --> 01:11:17,960
is a real front office puzzle. Gets excited, not a

1439
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,720
fan fiction swap. Utah plus Milwaukee in twenty twenty six

1440
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:26,760
is all about timeline mismatch versus desperation. The emphasis, although

1441
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,840
there are some bolded words, here's an original deadline, plausible

1442
01:11:31,039 --> 01:11:35,239
Jazz Bucks trade with clean CBA logic, realistic protections, and

1443
01:11:35,399 --> 01:11:39,479
very clear incentives on both sides. The Milwaukee Bucks receive

1444
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:40,840
Larry market in.

1445
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 2: Fuck.

1446
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, okay that the Jazz do have Larry

1447
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:54,319
market in. They do? Did you touch? Did you touch

1448
01:11:54,439 --> 01:12:00,720
Jazz receive Chris Middleton, Yes, Marjohn Bochamp. Oh sure, the

1449
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:04,560
Bucks is twenty twenty eight first round pick, top four protected. Great,

1450
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,800
and the Bucks is twenty thirty first round pick top

1451
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,600
six protected converts to two seconds if it doesn't convey

1452
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,640
by twenty thirty two. The Bucks have none of those

1453
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:13,800
assets to trade.

1454
01:12:14,319 --> 01:12:16,279
Speaker 2: I see no issues. I see it. This is a

1455
01:12:16,279 --> 01:12:18,159
great deal for the Bucks. What a heist?

1456
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,159
Speaker 1: Really good? This is I suffice it to say what

1457
01:12:22,319 --> 01:12:28,199
Grant and I do is meaningful, brave, courageous, ear replaceable,

1458
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,279
irreplicable work.

1459
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:32,279
Speaker 2: Can we do one more? I don't know if you

1460
01:12:32,319 --> 01:12:34,199
have this? Can we do like, let's do a Knix

1461
01:12:34,279 --> 01:12:38,119
Lakers just just like, let's big market this and just

1462
01:12:38,199 --> 01:12:41,439
see what could possibly happen. Because the Knicks also fit

1463
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,720
the bill of like can't trade picks, have like crazy salaries.

1464
01:12:46,119 --> 01:12:49,520
The Lakers like shouldn't do anything, as we talked about

1465
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:55,199
on their preview. So I gotta know, like, please, if

1466
01:12:55,199 --> 01:12:58,319
I could ask for one thing, please have Anthony Davis's

1467
01:12:58,359 --> 01:13:00,000
name come up somehow in this trade.

1468
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 1: Alright, let's see absolutely this is a very nick slash

1469
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:08,079
Lakers coded twenty twenty six trade deadline trade. One side

1470
01:13:08,119 --> 01:13:13,000
chasing star gravity, the other weaponizing discipline, depth and flexibility. Hell,

1471
01:13:13,119 --> 01:13:16,079
this is not a splashy superstar for five picks idea.

1472
01:13:16,319 --> 01:13:19,600
It's a realistic pressure point deal that only becomes available

1473
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:25,520
once timeline starts squeezing. The New York Knicks receive Austin Reeves.

1474
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,840
Oh gave so right off the bat. They lied, They

1475
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,680
said it wasn't a star driven trade. But Gabe Vincent,

1476
01:13:32,079 --> 01:13:34,399
Uh huh, we're cooking until now.

1477
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 2: Oh my, come on, I can't see it.

1478
01:13:41,119 --> 01:13:44,079
Speaker 1: The Knicks get Austin Reeves, Gabe Vincent. The Lakers is

1479
01:13:44,159 --> 01:13:49,159
first round picks in twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty nine. Yeah,

1480
01:13:49,199 --> 01:13:53,319
they can't trade those. The lost. The Los Angeles Lakers

1481
01:13:53,359 --> 01:13:55,199
receive Julius Randall.

1482
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:01,199
Speaker 2: That's just like just like, let's let's pop the cherry

1483
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:05,159
right on top of the Sunday with Julius Randall. Thank you.

1484
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,239
That's even better than Anthony Davis. Really good stuff. I mean,

1485
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,720
Julius Randall has played for both of those teams.

1486
01:14:12,039 --> 01:14:15,359
Speaker 1: So there's there was one we did seven. There was

1487
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,439
one trade. It wasn't even legal. That just made it

1488
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,359
so no chat GPT doesn't know ball. If this is

1489
01:14:21,399 --> 01:14:23,720
not if you took this as an advertisement for AI,

1490
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:25,239
I promise you it's fucking not.

1491
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:30,079
Speaker 2: Oh job security.

1492
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,199
Speaker 1: Oh man. Okay, So I do have, believe it or not,

1493
01:14:33,279 --> 01:14:37,760
some non AI related things for you. I guess that's

1494
01:14:38,199 --> 01:14:39,640
is that something you might be interested in?

1495
01:14:40,079 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 2: I guess that was pretty fun.

1496
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,199
Speaker 1: Okay, So which we have up next? All right, So

1497
01:14:45,359 --> 01:14:47,439
this is gonna be I think you're gonna hate this one.

1498
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:49,399
It's gonna be hard, but we're here. I'm gonna get

1499
01:14:49,399 --> 01:14:52,720
you through it. I'm here for you. You'll get clues throughout.

1500
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:56,680
But it's guess the NBA team, by having only their

1501
01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:01,399
best players is or starters preferred starting lineups career high

1502
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,880
scoring games. So I will give you We're going to

1503
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,000
go in increasing order of how many points they scored,

1504
01:15:08,039 --> 01:15:10,239
so the higher the career high, and I will give

1505
01:15:10,279 --> 01:15:12,800
you the date, like the like the year and the

1506
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,920
month that they got the career high, and also the

1507
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:16,399
position that they.

1508
01:15:16,319 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 2: Get, so it'll it'll be like this point guard's career

1509
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:23,760
high came in twenty twenty three and it was forty

1510
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,119
seven points and I got exactly got it.

1511
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 1: And if you get so, you'll have three strikes per team.

1512
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,319
But if you use to well, actually you'll just get

1513
01:15:32,359 --> 01:15:35,279
one guest, because there's five players each team. If we

1514
01:15:35,319 --> 01:15:36,680
get to a point where you missed two in a

1515
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,600
row or get three in a row missed, there'll be

1516
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,399
other context clues given to help you.

1517
01:15:40,399 --> 01:15:43,600
Speaker 2: All right, And this is this year's like most used

1518
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,600
or like widely starting line preferred.

1519
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Okay, good word, because really starting lineups are just so

1520
01:15:49,039 --> 01:15:50,560
with injuries and stuff or so fluid.

1521
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 2: Got it?

1522
01:15:51,319 --> 01:15:55,560
Speaker 1: Okay? Thirty five points is the career high for this

1523
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,720
center who did it in February two thousand and three,

1524
01:15:58,760 --> 01:15:59,399
twenty three.

1525
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:05,319
Speaker 2: Sorry, center got thirty five and twenty three. I got it.

1526
01:16:05,359 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: I guess I should you have a one of thirty

1527
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:08,239
chance of getting your right, so I.

1528
01:16:08,199 --> 01:16:12,319
Speaker 2: Preserve the integrity of the exercise. I should guess thirty

1529
01:16:12,319 --> 01:16:17,279
five is high, but it's not crazy. So like I'm

1530
01:16:17,279 --> 01:16:23,560
gonna say, I'm gonna say the bucks that is incorrect. Okay.

1531
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,079
Speaker 1: This power forward has a career high of thirty six points,

1532
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,479
which he dropped in February of twenty twenty four.

1533
01:16:32,359 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 2: Hmm, it's easier to rule out teams that have a

1534
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,039
power forward that you know, hascot like a the s ad,

1535
01:16:40,039 --> 01:16:47,159
thirty six was the high. Yep, I'm gonna go that's

1536
01:16:47,279 --> 01:16:52,359
both are pretty recent, so these are younger man. Let's say,

1537
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,399
let's say the thunder just for fun.

1538
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 1: That's incorrect. Okay, now it gets interesting though. Fifty one

1539
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,399
points is the career high for this shooting guard who

1540
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,159
did it in October twenty twenty five.

1541
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, fifty one points earlier this year, and this

1542
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,199
in the center and power forward had thirty six and

1543
01:17:16,279 --> 01:17:18,960
thirty five. Fifty one's a lot. Fifty one should be

1544
01:17:19,039 --> 01:17:24,079
on the radar here. Hmm. Yeah, it should just be

1545
01:17:24,119 --> 01:17:26,560
as easy as who what shooting guard had fifty one

1546
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:37,800
earlier this year? Huh, I'll go with I don't know.

1547
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,079
This is hard. It's not making anything click in my brain.

1548
01:17:40,159 --> 01:17:41,600
I'm gonna say.

1549
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,159
Speaker 1: The one twenty eight chants of getting it right. I'm

1550
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:47,600
gonna say, Orlando, that is incorrect. All right, you've now

1551
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,119
unlocked an additional context clue.

1552
01:17:50,279 --> 01:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Great.

1553
01:17:51,079 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 1: Sixty one points is the career high for this small

1554
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,199
forward power forward at the forward spots are always weird.

1555
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,520
Sixty one points is the career high for this forward

1556
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:04,199
who did it in March twenty twenty four, and it

1557
01:18:04,279 --> 01:18:05,840
is a Western Conference.

1558
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:14,159
Speaker 2: Team sixty one in the West. Uh God, So this

1559
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:16,960
is so this team has someone that scored sixty plus

1560
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,520
and someone that scored fifty plus this year? When was

1561
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,000
the sixty one? Sorry I wasn't paying.

1562
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 1: Attention March of twenty twenty four.

1563
01:18:24,199 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 2: Okay, and it's in the West, I mean is that.

1564
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,600
Let's let's think real quick here.

1565
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: So your career highs center thirty five, forward thirty six,

1566
01:18:38,159 --> 01:18:41,960
shooting guard fifty one, other forward sixty one. Those are

1567
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,279
the and you're in the West.

1568
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 2: Hmmm. I don't think it's I think the center number

1569
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,680
would need to be higher for it to be the Kings.

1570
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,000
And I don't think either Levine or DeRozan has that

1571
01:18:57,119 --> 01:18:59,640
sixty one. This is gonna be really obvious. I'm gonna

1572
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,680
this is this is a good stat padding because I'm

1573
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,359
gonna be super annoyed with myself when I don't get it.

1574
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:11,640
Let's see, I'm just scanning through, man, I should just

1575
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,479
know who had fifty one this year? Why is that

1576
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,800
so hard in the West. I gotta I'll just throw

1577
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:22,000
one out and say I don't know. I'll say the Timberwolves.

1578
01:19:22,359 --> 01:19:23,319
Speaker 1: That is incorrect.

1579
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:24,199
Speaker 2: Who is it?

1580
01:19:24,239 --> 01:19:26,359
Speaker 1: You're well, you have another player.

1581
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:27,039
Speaker 2: Okay.

1582
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,239
Speaker 1: Seventy three points is the career high for this point guard,

1583
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:35,279
who tallied it in January twenty twenty four. If you

1584
01:19:35,319 --> 01:19:37,000
can't get it or would like to know, I will

1585
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,279
give you the division in which this team plays.

1586
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,359
Speaker 2: I mean I should just know who scored seventy three?

1587
01:19:44,279 --> 01:19:45,840
Did I say the Lakers already?

1588
01:19:46,199 --> 01:19:47,560
Speaker 1: You did not? And that is correct?

1589
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:48,079
Speaker 2: Okay?

1590
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: So DeAndre eight and thirty five points, Ruey thirty six points,

1591
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,039
Reeves fifty one points. I thought you might have gotten

1592
01:19:54,079 --> 01:19:57,720
it there, and then Lebron had sixty one. Luca has

1593
01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:59,319
the seventy three burger.

1594
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 2: The sixty one. It felt like not enough for Lebron,

1595
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:06,119
I think in my head because I yeah, all right, man,

1596
01:20:06,199 --> 01:20:09,880
seventy three did it though? Okay, that's tricky.

1597
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:14,359
Speaker 1: Next up. Thirty points is the career scoring high for

1598
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,840
this shooting guard, which he tallied in April twenty and

1599
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:18,520
twenty five.

1600
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 2: Mm, let's just take a shot. Thirty points for a

1601
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,720
starting shooting guard last spring Indiana Pacers.

1602
01:20:28,319 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: That is incorrect. Thirty eight points is the career high

1603
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:36,079
for this small forward, who did it in March twenty

1604
01:20:36,159 --> 01:20:36,840
and twenty two.

1605
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:44,279
Speaker 2: Hmmm, uh, Toronto incorrect.

1606
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: Fifty points is the career scoring high for this power

1607
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:52,279
forward who did it in October twenty and twenty five.

1608
01:20:54,159 --> 01:20:57,520
Speaker 2: This year. Okay, so give me all three together, real quick.

1609
01:20:58,119 --> 01:21:01,279
Speaker 1: Thirty points for the shooting guard, thirty eight points for

1610
01:21:01,319 --> 01:21:04,159
the small forward, fifty points for the power forward.

1611
01:21:05,199 --> 01:21:08,399
Speaker 2: You're small forward, fifty for the power forward.

1612
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:17,520
Speaker 1: Uh utah incorrect now unlocked context clues great. Fifty five

1613
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:21,359
points is the career high for this point guard who

1614
01:21:21,359 --> 01:21:25,159
did it in February twenty twenty five, and it is

1615
01:21:25,199 --> 01:21:27,319
a Western Conference team that he plays for.

1616
01:21:28,039 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 2: Fifty five a year ago point guard in the West Man.

1617
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,239
These are hard, but I should be able to. I've

1618
01:21:37,239 --> 01:21:43,159
eliminated like a fifth of the conference already. Fifty five

1619
01:21:43,199 --> 01:21:46,159
for the point guard, and both in the thirties for

1620
01:21:46,359 --> 01:21:49,960
the what'd you say, power forward and shooting guard.

1621
01:21:50,199 --> 01:21:52,279
Speaker 1: So thirty for the shooting guard, thirty eight for the

1622
01:21:52,279 --> 01:21:55,279
small forward, fifty for the power forward, fifty five for

1623
01:21:55,359 --> 01:21:59,960
the point guard. Jesus, if it's any consolation, I have

1624
01:22:00,239 --> 01:22:02,079
confidence you're gonna get it with the next one.

1625
01:22:02,359 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 2: Oh really, well, then I'll just say I don't know

1626
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,479
if i've even said this team all right, I'll say

1627
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:06,119
in Minnesota.

1628
01:22:06,359 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: For now, you've already said them. Would you end up

1629
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:09,640
go wrong? Would you like to?

1630
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,520
Speaker 2: I was just stalling. That can't be. It can't be

1631
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:22,079
the Blazers. I'll go Kings again.

1632
01:22:23,039 --> 01:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Incorrect. Okay, sixty one points is the career high for

1633
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:31,279
this center, which he tallied in April twenty twenty five.

1634
01:22:34,279 --> 01:22:38,079
Speaker 2: Sixty one for a center last April.

1635
01:22:38,359 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: I do. I do think what's important, especially when you

1636
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,520
get to the centers or the point guards, is like

1637
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:46,479
though the positions could be and you know that this

1638
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,920
is the highest career high, that could be the giveaway.

1639
01:22:50,159 --> 01:22:53,199
Speaker 2: Oh that's just confusing. And we're in the West, a

1640
01:22:53,319 --> 01:22:56,119
center that had you said sixty one for a center

1641
01:22:56,159 --> 01:22:58,840
in the West. I mean I could just go through.

1642
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:06,119
It's a Lakers, clip, Warriors, King's Sons, Jezz not the

1643
01:23:06,239 --> 01:23:10,119
Jazz Denver. Oh uh Denver.

1644
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 1: That is correct. So thirty points for Christian Brown, thirty

1645
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:17,479
eight for cam Aaron Gordon had that fifty point game

1646
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,000
in October, fifty five for Murray, and then sixty one

1647
01:23:21,079 --> 01:23:21,680
for Yokich.

1648
01:23:22,039 --> 01:23:25,359
Speaker 2: Okay, I do need I need to be smarter about

1649
01:23:25,399 --> 01:23:29,439
airing towards teams that have like pretty established starting fives.

1650
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: Here's a nice little peak behind the curtain. Would you

1651
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:33,239
like to continue going? Do you think that this is

1652
01:23:33,239 --> 01:23:34,159
a worthy stat padding?

1653
01:23:34,319 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 2: Do it again? I need to do better. I'd like

1654
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:38,600
to not need all of the context clues.

1655
01:23:39,319 --> 01:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Thirty five points is the career high for this center,

1656
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,560
which he dropped in November twenty twenty four.

1657
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:51,279
Speaker 2: These are also recent, Uh, thirty five. I'm gonna say, oh, okay,

1658
01:23:51,359 --> 01:23:54,239
I'm gonna follow my advice and pick a team that

1659
01:23:54,319 --> 01:23:59,560
has a pretty established starting lineup. I'm gonna say thirty

1660
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:07,640
five about right for Miles Turner. So I'm gonna say

1661
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,840
the bucks that is incorrect. Okay.

1662
01:24:11,119 --> 01:24:14,199
Speaker 1: Thirty five points is also the career high for this

1663
01:24:14,359 --> 01:24:17,720
power forward. He's done it two times, most recently in

1664
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:19,399
April twenty twenty five.

1665
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:25,640
Speaker 2: Hmmm, a couple thirty fives in the front court. It's

1666
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:29,479
gonna rule out that's like, that's not that thirty five

1667
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:30,600
doesn't seem like that.

1668
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,359
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm I'm I might even let you on. I'm

1669
01:24:33,359 --> 01:24:35,680
gonna let you unlock a context lou after this one

1670
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:37,640
because this one is really hard.

1671
01:24:38,039 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 2: Okay, great, these were I could.

1672
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: Put them into levels. So there's three things. There was

1673
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,359
level one, level two, and level three.

1674
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,239
Speaker 2: I'm struggling at all levels. Uh, it's not my like

1675
01:24:48,319 --> 01:24:53,520
BAM's had more, and that lineup keeps changing. Thirty five,

1676
01:24:54,119 --> 01:24:59,680
let's say, uh, it's not the sixers. We've got power

1677
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:08,520
forward and center both at thirty five. Fairly recently, I'm

1678
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,479
gonna say, I'm gonna say Phoenix.

1679
01:25:11,199 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: That is incorrect. Okay, this point guard's career high is

1680
01:25:16,039 --> 01:25:20,119
forty points. He's also done it twice, most recently this month.

1681
01:25:21,199 --> 01:25:29,119
Speaker 2: Oh hmmm, not San Antoio, not Houston, Dallas.

1682
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: Oh I did say I was gonna unlock the context cluing.

1683
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:33,600
Oh yeah, because this is the hardest level. It's an

1684
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,039
Eastern Conference team.

1685
01:25:35,159 --> 01:25:38,079
Speaker 2: All right, I mean eventually I'm just gonna like just

1686
01:25:38,199 --> 01:25:42,399
luck into it. One would think, uh, it hasn't happened yet.

1687
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:47,479
How's about forty for the You said the point guard

1688
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:48,840
had forty this month?

1689
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:59,279
Speaker 1: Washington incorrect? Forty six points for six is the career

1690
01:25:59,319 --> 01:26:02,439
scoring high for this shooting guard, which he did in

1691
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,239
February twenty twenty two.

1692
01:26:05,279 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, let's see. Man, so he's the point guard

1693
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,760
had forty though I'm still hung up on that, right, Yep,

1694
01:26:22,319 --> 01:26:23,680
it's not the man it's.

1695
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:26,520
Speaker 1: So well, I guess I don't know if this will

1696
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,920
this will be a fun context who it was not?

1697
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,760
The scoring high did not come for this team. He

1698
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:34,880
was on a different team when he got it, all.

1699
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 2: Right, that makes it a little that scrambles my brain

1700
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:39,359
a little bit. I'm gonna say the Pistons. I'm not

1701
01:26:39,399 --> 01:26:39,960
sure why.

1702
01:26:40,279 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: Incorrect final guy. Forty nine points is the career scoring

1703
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,159
high for this small forward who did it in January

1704
01:26:49,159 --> 01:26:53,279
twenty twenty. And your additional context clue here is at

1705
01:26:53,319 --> 01:26:55,760
the time he played for a Western Conference team.

1706
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 2: Who I mean, I've said a lot of eatern Conference

1707
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:08,880
teams so far, although I can't remember which addition certain

1708
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:10,039
teams for this is.

1709
01:27:10,359 --> 01:27:12,119
Speaker 1: This is why you're the perfect person for this.

1710
01:27:12,279 --> 01:27:19,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, because I can't remember thirty seconds ago. Uh,

1711
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:21,720
I kind of want I want to say Miami, even

1712
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:23,199
though I dismissed that earlier.

1713
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: That is incorrect. It is the Toronto Raptors. U Yaka

1714
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,640
Pearl had thirty five, Scotty Barnes thirty five, so.

1715
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 2: Probably thirty five.

1716
01:27:33,119 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, i Q had forty, Barrett had forty six, and

1717
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,079
then Brandon Ingram had forty nine when he was with

1718
01:27:40,119 --> 01:27:41,680
the Pelicans, gotcha.

1719
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 2: These are hard. There's there's too many. It's hard to

1720
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,439
get anchored. Also, I think there's too much scoring in

1721
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:51,840
the NBA, Dan, I think it's a problem. There's just that.

1722
01:27:52,039 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: You couldn't You couldn't believe that Scotty Barnes only dropped

1723
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:55,479
thirty five.

1724
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 2: Like everybody else besides him. Besides him, he's disappointing. Everybody

1725
01:27:58,760 --> 01:27:59,800
else is scoring too much.

1726
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 1: Do you want to continue on to your next block

1727
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:04,640
or would you prefer to save that for a different thing.

1728
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 2: I want to I want to do better, So I

1729
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,439
want you to give me. Let's do it one more

1730
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:11,039
and if I blow it again, we'll just we'll try

1731
01:28:11,079 --> 01:28:11,640
another day.

1732
01:28:12,399 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: Okay. Thirty points is the career scoring high for this

1733
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:19,159
small forward who should play more power forward, which he

1734
01:28:19,279 --> 01:28:21,840
dropped October twenty twenty five.

1735
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: Hmmm, thirty for us?

1736
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,359
Speaker 1: You like how I gave you a little context clue there.

1737
01:28:26,279 --> 01:28:30,560
Speaker 2: That should play more and he did it this year, right,

1738
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:31,880
you said October twenty five?

1739
01:28:32,239 --> 01:28:33,640
Speaker 1: Yep, this season small.

1740
01:28:33,399 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 2: Forward that should play more power forward. I'm a little

1741
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:38,720
bit on tilt right now, so that's who should that be?

1742
01:28:42,159 --> 01:28:46,239
I mean, did Jaden McDaniels he should have more a

1743
01:28:46,279 --> 01:28:49,840
higher career high than that. I'm gonna say, Jadan, I'm

1744
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:50,640
gonna say the wolves.

1745
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:55,319
Speaker 1: Then you did it, you killed it. Look at that.

1746
01:28:55,319 --> 01:28:58,119
Speaker 2: That was that is Jade McDaniels you're talking about, right.

1747
01:28:58,319 --> 01:29:00,359
Speaker 1: That was correct? So it did? Was it the game away?

1748
01:29:00,359 --> 01:29:00,560
Speaker 2: Though?

1749
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: With a small forwarder ship play power forward? So he

1750
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:04,760
had thirty points.

1751
01:29:05,039 --> 01:29:06,520
Speaker 2: I can't believe he's only thirty.

1752
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,560
Speaker 1: Thirty five points is the career high for Rudy Gobert.

1753
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:12,000
So yeah, in the second one. Dante DiVincenzo had a

1754
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,359
forty burger in March twenty twenty four.

1755
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:16,039
Speaker 2: Would I would not remember that.

1756
01:29:16,359 --> 01:29:18,359
Speaker 1: I thought you would have gotten it here? Fifty five

1757
01:29:18,399 --> 01:29:21,520
points on January twenty twenty six for Anthony Edwards.

1758
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that yeah.

1759
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 1: Maybe what's Randal's career high fifty seven in March twenty

1760
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:27,359
twenty three.

1761
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 2: I think that would have thrown me off. I yeah,

1762
01:29:31,119 --> 01:29:34,520
the only one. I'm surprised McDaniels has only topped out

1763
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:38,159
at thirty. That's kind of wild to me. Go Bart

1764
01:29:38,199 --> 01:29:40,760
at thirty five. I kept like wanting the wolves when

1765
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,880
you had We've had several centers at thirty five, and

1766
01:29:43,039 --> 01:29:45,439
I think maybe in Utah or something. He got there

1767
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,760
just with like fourteen offensive rebounds or something. Okay, I

1768
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:51,560
mean that's one to end on because I just smoked it.

1769
01:29:52,039 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: Well, so you have two more exercises left that are easy. Well,

1770
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:57,119
I don't know if they should be easier.

1771
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:58,359
Speaker 2: I'm guessing.

1772
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you one shot killed it. That's impressive. Grant,

1773
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,439
you need to guess the NBA's biggest bricklayers, who we

1774
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:13,800
will define as statistically by volume and accuracy, the worst

1775
01:30:14,359 --> 01:30:18,800
shooters on unguarded three pointers this season. I want you

1776
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,399
to name as many of the seven biggest bricklayers as

1777
01:30:22,399 --> 01:30:25,439
you can, but I will give you the teams that

1778
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,840
they play for, Okay before you start. So there are

1779
01:30:30,279 --> 01:30:33,520
there's one member of the Houston Rockets, one member of

1780
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:37,560
the Dallas Mavericks, one member of the Blazers, one member

1781
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:41,039
of the Spurs, and three members of the Detroit Pistons.

1782
01:30:41,119 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 2: Okay, I had Pistons in my mind. Uh, all right.

1783
01:30:45,399 --> 01:30:48,159
So it's gonna be interesting to see where the volume

1784
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:53,359
cutoff affects this. Because Kate Cunningham comes to mind. I

1785
01:30:53,359 --> 01:30:55,079
feel like he's missed a lot of open threes. Is

1786
01:30:55,079 --> 01:30:56,079
he one of the pistons.

1787
01:30:57,319 --> 01:30:59,279
Speaker 1: Uh he is, Kate is one, So you have one

1788
01:30:59,319 --> 01:30:59,760
of seven.

1789
01:31:00,079 --> 01:31:02,680
Speaker 2: All right, so we gotta go the next couple most

1790
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:06,039
logical sar Thompson. Is there enough volume there to qualify?

1791
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,680
Speaker 1: There is a sar Thompson two of seven.

1792
01:31:09,039 --> 01:31:12,399
Speaker 2: So then is Ron Holland the third piston.

1793
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:16,640
Speaker 1: You swept the pistons all three of seven. And just

1794
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,479
in case you're one. I don't know for anyone who

1795
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:25,840
actually cares about this, but Kate Cunningham is the second

1796
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:30,640
worst bricklayer in the league according to volume efficiency. Yeah,

1797
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:33,800
just fun fact that he was the worst piston. But

1798
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:37,479
that's level of that. That's actually a little surprising to me,

1799
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:38,680
But I.

1800
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:41,399
Speaker 2: Feel like that's a positive because those will fall eventually.

1801
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:43,840
And then he goes and he's even better.

1802
01:31:44,159 --> 01:31:47,560
Speaker 1: So our three of seven, you have one Spur, one Blazer,

1803
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:49,680
one MAV and one Rockets player.

1804
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Rockets Stan and I assume this

1805
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,039
is Aman Thompson because he's just the worst jump shooter

1806
01:31:58,119 --> 01:31:58,880
on planet Earth.

1807
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 1: You would correct you are four or four. You don't

1808
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:04,079
even have a strike. You're supposed to get three strikes

1809
01:32:04,119 --> 01:32:05,560
for this. I don't know if you're gonna need them.

1810
01:32:07,319 --> 01:32:11,079
So one.

1811
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 2: Okay, the Spurs have a couple. I mean, so this

1812
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:18,800
is where it's like, I don't know what the volume

1813
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:20,960
requirement is. I know they're both in the I know

1814
01:32:21,079 --> 01:32:23,720
Castle and Harper are both in the high twenties. I'm

1815
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:27,520
gonna assume Castle's volume counts for more. So I'll say,

1816
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:28,760
Steph Castle.

1817
01:32:29,239 --> 01:32:30,399
Speaker 1: Incorrect strike one?

1818
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:31,359
Speaker 2: Is it Harper?

1819
01:32:32,199 --> 01:32:36,279
Speaker 1: That is correct? Five of seven? With one strike? You

1820
01:32:36,399 --> 01:32:38,920
are in fuego right now?

1821
01:32:40,359 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 2: So we need a We need a mav You said,

1822
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:44,279
what are the other two teams we need?

1823
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:49,079
Speaker 1: There is one member of apparently I misspoke at the top,

1824
01:32:49,159 --> 01:32:53,359
one member of the MAVs. Wait, hold on here, one

1825
01:32:53,399 --> 01:32:57,520
member of the Hawks, one member of the Mavericks, and

1826
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:00,319
one member of the Blazers.

1827
01:33:00,319 --> 01:33:04,960
Speaker 2: Hawks, MAVs, Blazers. All right, let's go Hawks. Who is

1828
01:33:05,239 --> 01:33:12,760
just bricking out there? Man? Is it Jalen Johnson? Is

1829
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:13,840
he missing open threes?

1830
01:33:14,119 --> 01:33:15,199
Speaker 1: To incorrect? Strike two?

1831
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:19,399
Speaker 2: Hm? You know? Do I want to stick with the

1832
01:33:19,399 --> 01:33:23,920
MAVs and keep guessing who's missing open I mean the Hawks?

1833
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:25,920
Who's missing open threes? For the Hawks?

1834
01:33:26,359 --> 01:33:28,640
Speaker 1: I think this is the if you don't get this name,

1835
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:30,279
this is the one that you will hate yourself for

1836
01:33:30,399 --> 01:33:31,479
if that helps at all.

1837
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 2: Hmmm, well, I mean I can think of everybody on

1838
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:40,399
that team unless I'm totally Oh well, can I ask

1839
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:41,880
is he still on the Hawks?

1840
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:46,640
Speaker 1: Yes? He also happens to be the league's biggest brick layer.

1841
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 2: Oh ship the biggest. So I just have a blind spot.

1842
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:55,079
Then I can't. I can't think of who this is?

1843
01:33:55,079 --> 01:33:58,039
Is it volume per game or total volume? Trying to

1844
01:33:58,279 --> 01:34:02,800
coax everything's total from this season? Total like this? Okay, man,

1845
01:34:03,239 --> 01:34:05,760
this is bad? Oh uh, Dyson Daniels.

1846
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: There you go. So you have one, two, three, four, five, six.

1847
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:13,880
There's one name, but you have two chances to get

1848
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:15,760
There's two names, but you have one. You only need

1849
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:18,399
one of them because they're tied. Okay, So it's one

1850
01:34:18,399 --> 01:34:20,319
from the Blazers and one from the maps.

1851
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:24,399
Speaker 2: For the Blazers. Oh is it shade sharp? Is it

1852
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:25,840
enough volume there to get it?

1853
01:34:26,279 --> 01:34:33,079
Speaker 1: That is incorrect? Strike three? Okay, so Chris Murray and

1854
01:34:33,119 --> 01:34:35,239
then I didn't think you were gonna get Brandon Williams

1855
01:34:35,239 --> 01:34:35,760
from the maps?

1856
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,680
Speaker 2: Would have been the time, wouldn't have got that one either. Man,

1857
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,520
I'm satisfied with that. It seems like I'm better at

1858
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,520
uh I'm more of a negative thinker. I'm better at

1859
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:47,520
focusing on who's bad at stuff than in career high scoring.

1860
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,359
Speaker 1: It would appear, well, would you like now it's that

1861
01:34:50,399 --> 01:34:52,960
you're gonna do the inverse of this though. Oh okay,

1862
01:34:53,279 --> 01:34:58,479
who are the NBA's most lethal dead eye three point shooters?

1863
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:01,399
I'm asking you to name the tie. This is all

1864
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:06,439
volume inefficiency. You have two from the Denver Nuggets, one

1865
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:10,840
from the Hawks, one from the Grizzlies, one from the Warriors,

1866
01:35:11,239 --> 01:35:14,560
one from the Suns, and one from the Houston Rockets.

1867
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not gonna remember all those teams, so let's

1868
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,720
just start with Denver, which is the first team you said.

1869
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:23,640
It's so tricky because I don't know, we don't know.

1870
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,600
I don't know what the volume requirements are here, and I.

1871
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:29,199
Speaker 1: Know it's ever everyone in the league, while like we

1872
01:35:29,319 --> 01:35:31,399
I went through every team in the league, so everyone

1873
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:35,199
can name. But you want to focus on someone who's

1874
01:35:35,239 --> 01:35:40,880
taken two unguarded three pointers is not going to guard it.

1875
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 2: The Nuggets have a few of those guys that are unguarded.

1876
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,199
I wonder if is Aaron Gordon still up there enough

1877
01:35:48,199 --> 01:35:51,439
from that ten to three game to qualify here strike one.

1878
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:56,920
Damn it, I'll say Jokic strike two. Oh no, do

1879
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:58,159
we need to move off Denver?

1880
01:35:59,279 --> 01:36:04,319
Speaker 1: I will say one of one of the Nuggets is

1881
01:36:04,359 --> 01:36:08,680
in their starting lineup. The other nugget is when everyone's healthy,

1882
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:09,560
is not a star?

1883
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,039
Speaker 2: All right, Well, then I better say Jamal Murray.

1884
01:36:12,319 --> 01:36:16,239
Speaker 1: That is correct, and he is, by measure the most

1885
01:36:16,319 --> 01:36:18,840
accurate wide open three point shooter in the NBA.

1886
01:36:19,159 --> 01:36:22,239
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's the tricky thing is is it can't

1887
01:36:22,279 --> 01:36:26,079
just be who's I gotta think wide open? All right?

1888
01:36:26,119 --> 01:36:27,760
So that was Denver. What's the next team?

1889
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,239
Speaker 1: You don't want to try and guess the second name

1890
01:36:30,279 --> 01:36:30,760
on Denver?

1891
01:36:31,119 --> 01:36:35,079
Speaker 2: Oh uh, he's not a starter. No, I don't feel confident.

1892
01:36:35,079 --> 01:36:36,600
I don't want to burn my third strike. Give me,

1893
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:37,560
give me the next team.

1894
01:36:38,199 --> 01:36:40,840
Speaker 1: You have one from the Hawks, one from the Grizzlies,

1895
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,199
one from the Warriors, one from the Suns, and one

1896
01:36:43,199 --> 01:36:43,560
from the right.

1897
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:46,600
Speaker 2: Okay, well, if it's not Steph on the Warriors, then

1898
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:48,279
this exercise is invalid.

1899
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: Two of seven. Nice job.

1900
01:36:51,159 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 2: The Hawks have a deeply obvious player who I don't

1901
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,720
know what he's shooting this year specifically, but I like

1902
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:01,119
this is his whole deal. So ill Oh. But there's

1903
01:37:01,119 --> 01:37:03,880
another player on the Hawks that never misses corner threes

1904
01:37:05,159 --> 01:37:07,960
whose name is Tekuil Alexander Walker. I'm not gonna say

1905
01:37:08,039 --> 01:37:12,079
him because I want to say Luke Canard because that's

1906
01:37:12,119 --> 01:37:14,399
his whole deal. And your face is telling me I

1907
01:37:14,399 --> 01:37:15,600
should have gone the other way.

1908
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:22,239
Speaker 1: That is strike three, nik kiel Alexander Walker for the Hawks. Yeah,

1909
01:37:22,279 --> 01:37:25,279
and then you had Tim Hardaway Junior for the Nuggets,

1910
01:37:26,319 --> 01:37:28,279
Cam Spencer from the Grizzlies. I thought you might have

1911
01:37:28,319 --> 01:37:31,159
gotten that one. Uh and nik Kill, by the way,

1912
01:37:31,239 --> 01:37:33,000
was three. That's the third most accurate.

1913
01:37:34,159 --> 01:37:36,279
Speaker 2: I tucked myself out of him. I shouldn't have done that.

1914
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:38,159
Speaker 1: Would you like to take a guess at who it

1915
01:37:38,239 --> 01:37:39,239
is for the Rockets?

1916
01:37:40,319 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 2: Wide open? Three? Is it is? It? Is it your guy?

1917
01:37:43,199 --> 01:37:44,000
Is it Reed Shepherd?

1918
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,479
Speaker 1: That doesn't it is Reach Shepherd because Kevin Durant doesn't

1919
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:48,800
really take unguarded threes?

1920
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 2: Right?

1921
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 1: I said Tim Hardaway Junior was the second Nuggets player, Steph,

1922
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:55,720
you got and the final name would have been from

1923
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,640
the Suns. Did you want to take a guess? Grayson Allen,

1924
01:37:59,319 --> 01:38:00,439
Colin Gillspie.

1925
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:02,199
Speaker 2: You did name?

1926
01:38:02,319 --> 01:38:04,319
Speaker 1: Look you named it? Exciting white, so.

1927
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,680
Speaker 2: Right, six to one happen to the other. Pretty good.

1928
01:38:08,159 --> 01:38:10,079
Speaker 1: You did really good on the brook brick layers.

1929
01:38:10,119 --> 01:38:13,079
Speaker 2: I was impressed better better on Missus than makes it

1930
01:38:13,079 --> 01:38:13,640
would appear.

1931
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,079
Speaker 1: We have more. I have more stat padding, but that's

1932
01:38:17,199 --> 01:38:19,920
enough for We'll save it. That's enough. On the eclip

1933
01:38:20,039 --> 01:38:23,239
you did, these were hard. I thought these two exercises

1934
01:38:23,279 --> 01:38:25,239
were a little bit on the harder end, So good job.

1935
01:38:25,319 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 2: The career highs are are tough because there's I can't

1936
01:38:29,239 --> 01:38:31,399
I can't get anchored to anything I should I should

1937
01:38:31,399 --> 01:38:34,199
have done better. I should have Nikail Alexander Walker man

1938
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:38,520
what never go against him? Never never, never assume anyone's better.

1939
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:39,239
That was my mistater.

1940
01:38:39,279 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 1: Are you ready to take us out of here?

1941
01:38:41,079 --> 01:38:43,760
Speaker 2: Thanks everybody for listening, for watching. Hope you enjoyed another

1942
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,399
edition of stat padding. Let us know what you think

1943
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:49,479
of that. I mean the check the AI trades? Are

1944
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:50,199
we in? Are we out?

1945
01:38:50,319 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: Do we like those?

1946
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:52,239
Speaker 2: Because I would do those all day?

1947
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:55,119
Speaker 1: Honestly, if I was the Knicks, I would seriously consider

1948
01:38:55,199 --> 01:38:57,840
doing that mcilbridge is one rather than the m calbridge

1949
01:38:57,840 --> 01:38:58,960
is one that they actually did.

1950
01:38:59,319 --> 01:39:03,279
Speaker 2: I think it would be great. What was the Julius Randall.

1951
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 1: Oh, that was Austin Reeves, right, Austin Reeves two first

1952
01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:12,279
round picks are Julius Randall, Gabe.

1953
01:39:12,119 --> 01:39:15,520
Speaker 2: Really good in there, pretty impressive. The Knicks pulled extra

1954
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:17,600
first rounders out of thin air that they can trade.

1955
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:20,399
Really good job by them. Good GM and Leon Rose

1956
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,520
and co. Or doing it right. Rate review, subscribe, leave

1957
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,600
us your comments, let us know. Come up, please interact

1958
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:30,279
with chat GPT and let us know. Actually I would

1959
01:39:30,279 --> 01:39:32,119
just like to advocate do not. We don't need the

1960
01:39:32,159 --> 01:39:34,960
world to continue to burn down or be depleted.

1961
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:38,239
Speaker 1: Of water and all. That just was, like I felt right,

1962
01:39:38,359 --> 01:39:41,159
it was for important purposes like proving that chat GPT

1963
01:39:41,279 --> 01:39:42,000
doesn't know ball.

1964
01:39:42,159 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't use it to raise your children or anything

1965
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:49,399
like that, which people do, uh, which Sam Altman does apparently.

1966
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:50,319
Good good job by it.

1967
01:39:50,319 --> 01:39:53,119
Speaker 1: I can't imagine raising children without it personally. No, as

1968
01:39:53,159 --> 01:39:55,760
someone who doesn't have kids, I honestly I might now

1969
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,359
have kids because chat GPT can raise them for me.

1970
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:01,640
Speaker 2: It's a hands off activity. It's pretty easy. Uh, all

1971
01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:05,359
right enough? Uh, just again, I want to bow to

1972
01:40:05,399 --> 01:40:08,720
the AI overlords that when they're in charge, this.

1973
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 1: Is all I'd like to be on the record or

1974
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:12,479
saying fuck you, I think you're uh.

1975
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,520
Speaker 2: Put Dan in the camps before me, uh and use

1976
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,319
his body as a battery. Leave me alone. I was,

1977
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:23,399
I was in the whole time. Fully support shouts Franko
