[00:00:01] And of course, it's my favorite words in sports game 7. We got Florida at the 10th You're about almost at the halfway point of the third period so we'll see history tonight. The answer is yes because you're here with sports

[00:00:21] Reports as Ordered but we go do it like this Yes you will now listen to the sounds of sports reports as Ordered and we are two days away from the NBA draft so of course you know we go to be talking about

[00:00:43] that we're going to talk about the NBA off season, aka the NBA has no off season. So we go get into that I know I'm saying we and your wondering what do I mean by

[00:00:55] we what I'm talking about the running over the even kill. Born in Texas raised in BA represent a new job rose do not I repeat do not bring feelings to effect fight Don't do it he is Mr. Lobb

[00:01:17] It over here you got your unopened out status fishing on less or much that you thought I was South off put them on the ass like their neighbors wilder Two five and you is let's get this started all right so as the NBA has no off season

[00:01:42] because we're talking about the NBA all year round I remember we used to be like yo let's get gear duck for football season and it was like no NBA free agency to start it and now for the next three weeks we're analyzing every move

[00:01:58] we're analyzing the drama and the NBA always has a surprise in their fourth so I know free agency doesn't start until Sunday on June 30th but we've had some action we got some things that we might want to see so Mr. Logical and I are going

[00:02:14] to break that down for you so I'm a pastor Mike to Mr. Logical and ask Mr. Logical what you want to see I want to see some big I want to see a big move I want

[00:02:27] to see one of these teams that might be a player away just go for it I want to see Philly make a move instead of just kind of just being mediocre a lot of teams seem

[00:02:37] to be just kind of advocating to themselves like you know what let's just stay relevant let our young star push this over to edge some teams have that luxury boss and had it seven years ago when they had their young stars in the

[00:02:50] neighborhood in Kyrie it was like it didn't work but they kept their young stars and they kept letting their young stars develop and it worked out somebody's guys are oh like you think about Philly and B. I believe it's like 30 but his

[00:03:01] body is like 36 because like an NBA 36 with the injuries and you know leg pain knee pain always fall and things that I'd make just so I want to see them either I read an article that they will all have the Paul George hunt but that could

[00:03:16] just be spoke to me or it's no dare mori like James Harden said last year he's a liar don't want to work with them I thought another trait proposal today and I don't know how much Paul George has left in the tank but I saw something

[00:03:30] today and it was like I don't know if it's a bad idea I know a lot of times like the art of good business is that you know everyone has to walk away from the table so I'm not unhappy because if you walk away with everything you want

[00:03:44] that means you fleece the other team and the other team got worked over so you got to come into the negotiation like you know what we might have to give up one first round pit but we not can give up two you might want two first

[00:03:55] round picks but you're only going to get one but you get enough and I think that deal that I saw earlier is like Paul George PJ Tucker for Mitch Robinson here doesn't pull it right now Julius Randle, Mitch Robinson by

[00:04:12] Donavich this year's 24th overall pick and 26th overall first round pick I will say you maybe you keep one of your first round picks but I didn't make that deal if I'm the clippers I make that deal bring no Julius Randle back

[00:04:27] the California he was a liquor for a while I think he still has enough talent to be an all star you open up a new building I don't I think to drop off from Paul George Julius Randle you don't really rock with Julius Randle like

[00:04:40] I think I don't know Julius Randle the clippers in my mind sound like it just go together they belong together I mean like I say it just makes sense I think he gives I think he just gives you a different look than Paul George

[00:04:50] and it gets Paul George's opportunity to play on a big stage for the last few years it was career because I don't know how long these guys are going to play eventually as we talk about the drafts one of these guys gonna have to rise

[00:04:59] to the occasion and start taking some of these headlines over so we can have other players to talk about Zach Levine he's been on the trading blocks this Trump was president like I don't know what I don't know if there's attitude

[00:05:13] because like I said we talked about building a perfect basketball players athletic I think he goes about 6667 can score score will confidence is never shaken it just it just doesn't seem that either

[00:05:28] he gets for the right team or coach but I like to see somebody make a move for him maybe my Andy if they're gonna get rid of Jimmy Butler maybe you bring because maybe maybe he's considered a headache maybe he's considered a

[00:05:41] god it doesn't really get along with the team I think he played too yeah so you know sometimes you might I think he might be able to play sometimes like I'm not gonna play if he does get injured and he misses like 30 or 40

[00:05:53] games and it's like that but you get into Miami you get a much Chicago you get amount of what seems to be not a very functioning organization they went from championship in a lore in this era with Jordan and the bulls are just dominating

[00:06:07] airways to just sub-par mediocrity for 25 years and it's like how would how do you go from that for that long you know I get it that you have a you haven't did but for a quarter century like to never like a couple

[00:06:24] a couple years of their growth years of the tip of those years but you know just it just seems like you know it's makes them move make some trade I want to see some splashy so what you think about getting for kavusa because I mean that was

[00:06:36] the first trade that they've made in the last three years I don't know we talked about this during the play I was like I said if or we talked about the in the season recap for okay see I was like if anybody's gonna move I think

[00:06:49] go to Ben Gitty I think he just lifted right out because what you were getting from the other guys that yeah Gitty 6768 Canada Ball can run the point but it's like I didn't need that from you and what they needed in the Dallas series was like

[00:07:05] can you hit some shots and if you can't hit shots can you play aggressive defense like Lou Dore and he wasn't giving you either one of those and then you like I said you

[00:07:15] really have a replacement and then when you make the trade and you get carousel back it's like you've already upgraded and I think that's that's I think that's a bad deal for Chicago because

[00:07:25] I don't know what you're gonna get out of Gitty was your expectation for him so so for the plan on purging a lot more players as you know the next couple weeks go by

[00:07:36] so for me I don't know if the bulls are trying to blow it up but wait until next year so you know you get a living out of there maybe the Rosen walks because he's a free agent

[00:07:49] you know Gitty comes in for this year but he's gonna be due to get paint next year so maybe you let him walk next year you know then you just have a whole ton of cap money

[00:07:58] sitting there waiting to be played with because when I look at the bulls right now I just saw that they offered patch of Williams his 13 million dollar qualifying offers so now he's a restricted free agent they can match any offer that he receives

[00:08:13] you know you have Kobe White you know who was my six man of the year yeah and you know so does Kobe White and Gitty back court work you know Levines gonna be out of there

[00:08:27] Vuchavitch is gonna be another year older you know so I don't know what the bull's game plan is like I thought Billy Donovan would have been gone by now as well so I just don't know what

[00:08:37] the bulls are doing but let's reverse it for a second and let's look at okay see I love Alex Carruso going to okay see you know their defense is gonna be that much better they were all

[00:08:51] reenacted with Mark Dagon though and then you got and I've been holding on to the fact that I would like to see okay see trade for Laurie marketin and you're loaded and ready to go

[00:09:05] you got your version of Boston if you will you know where guys because that's the problem they still need marketing I think so I think so they get a picture graphics or they need to give up a body

[00:09:17] that's gonna be the question I think they could get them for somebody I mean they still got you know guys like Isaiah Joe you know sitting on the bench and Utah is another one of those teams that I can't

[00:09:29] figure out what Utah is doing are they taking are they just kicking the can down the road because they're in the room now you know that too but there's also rumors now that Colin Sexton

[00:09:40] is you know on the uh potentially on the trade block so you know if you're trying to trade Sexton I would figure marketins on the table because you just signed John Collins last year

[00:09:52] so somebody's got to be the odd man how Danny ages a GM he's calling the shots in Utah right yes it's kind of greedy I don't know if you get I don't know if you get Mark and if we're just

[00:10:06] draft capital it's pretty considering that if you give them marketing they're probably going to be number once there's somewhere in number one seed they're gonna like I said they're gonna look like Boston West right right with that kind of line it would check SGA Coruso marketing like

[00:10:23] jailer Williams jailer Williams I'm I need to get to the defensive plays I'm sorry about like the top I mean maybe you get up maybe you give up Isaiah Joe in somebody like Poku or the other jailer

[00:10:36] Williams but his Danny Danny is going to want blood he's going to want his pound of flesh in order to make this deal because you're essentially giving you give them that line up you're giving them the West unless you're trying to take because you know next year

[00:10:54] Cooper flag ace Bailey those kind of guys are coming into the draft versus this year's draft then you lose a lot of you you draft fifth okay but next year's draft is supposed to be

[00:11:06] what we wish this year's draft would be Lloyd Lloyd Mark and an OKC basically gives them the West like I don't even think it's I think that's 61 62 wins okay yeah just because it would make

[00:11:22] them so dynamic offensively and like this it if they will look essentially just like Boston they to have a tough hard nose defender who could score in Kuroso you have SGA who's your star

[00:11:34] Shet Hongren who's your unicorn marketing who was like the first kind of wave of this you know is tweeter European kind of player a lot like Prasingis and you could just kind of put

[00:11:46] them anywhere you got to space the floor you got to defend and then on top of that you used I even got to Williams and Dort and all the guys are going to play tough on ball defense it's still

[00:11:56] get their shots off because we talked about how deep they went they were like you don't feel getting by looking at OKC case and Wallace yeah if and if Gettie hits and they've

[00:12:04] got hit so three is I think they beat Dallas like if he had so open shots I think he gets guys going but he just got to the point where you couldn't plan in long stretches because he

[00:12:13] wasn't knocking out his open shots like how like Tim Hardyway Jr looked and that that was I think Dallas wins one or two more games or maybe they go back to Dallas one one if harder way

[00:12:25] it cannot now some shots and you can keep my there for six seven eight minutes which can only keep my there four five minutes because you're doing giving you nothing and it just was like

[00:12:34] those those are the moments for a boss when get their edge and I was saying they were Dallas when he was out there he wasn't defending where very well and he wouldn't get you points

[00:12:43] and then hey where you try to put him out there he won't get you any run but if you give them something you're giving the West right and that's where you know keep it in the West for

[00:12:52] second something else that I saw before we went live was that the Houston rockets are potentially trying to enter the Paul George sweepstakes potentially into the Jimmy Butler sweepstakes is such what they knew exist well I think that they're just trying to get a player

[00:13:10] that they can kind of say we got the young guys now we want the leader to push our chips forward you know obviously that's not going to have really young well well something else that I saw

[00:13:22] that was kind of odd was that potentially there are looking at making a trade with Memphis to swap picks and get Marka smart as well and I'm like well you just bought it and Dylan Brooks and that was the whole thing but Memphis last year bringing Marka smart

[00:13:38] get rid of Brooks and I don't think Houston's really trying to get rid of Dylan Brooks just yet but all year long throughout the regular season the rockets were always tied some McKay old bridges but Brooklyn just doesn't want to trade them for whatever reason

[00:13:52] Brooklyn doesn't want to trade McKay old bridges so you know if they can't get McKay old bridges Jimmy Butler provides the old KG vet the leader that has will teams to the finals

[00:14:04] probably worst teams when you look at like the overall talent like obviously and heat culture is a thing but but just looking at the talent you know because I mean Houston's got what

[00:14:14] Van Vleet they got jailing green I mean Thompson I think is going to be a star one day Jimmy Butler doesn't have a does it high his disdain for situations very well

[00:14:27] uh-huh Jason point and I probably would have been the same boat I saw video his plan poker with some poker stars and some other celebrities right Garcia next to Ryan Garcia you can see

[00:14:37] it was like eating at him like I want to hit this dude and I get it I get it it was very annoying but that's been like that's been Jimmy's knock is like once he gets sick of you it's very

[00:14:51] vocal and public we saw a Minnesota you know Jeff T tell the story about you better pay me and then he goes the filly and it's the same thing so like I'm not saying that he you know it's unfair

[00:15:03] criticism of him but it could be such wish where he wears out as welcome but when your talent is still top tier you can have that kind of energy you can take four bench players and beat

[00:15:15] the starters and talk slick and run out the tunnel and being a car and leave when you're 20 something you can't do that when you're 30 and kind of over the hill where a roll and ankle keeps you

[00:15:28] out for two weeks where you know a thigh bruise you can't snap right back from off tissue you know something like that so like these young guys have opportunities to just step up still 21 in

[00:15:40] NHL and Florida by the way these young guys have opportunities that's why I don't understand what these teams are bringing in such old guys that are taking away time from their young guys like

[00:15:52] one or two guys I get it but I'm not paying top dollar free agents to guys for almost 30 or over 30 when I got three or four top six draft picks trying to make their way through the league

[00:16:07] well that's my problem with Houston in general is that I do believe and I know this is going to sound real counter-intuitive especially after we just got done talking about OKC Houston just

[00:16:18] has too much like they have too many guys that they are trying to develop figure out what they are and that are trying to find their place in the league that are capable of scoring 25 points if you

[00:16:30] need to because you don't van Lizza champion he's a leader you know you got to find room for our men's homes in jail and green was out here putting up 40 at points this year you got

[00:16:40] Jabari Smith what is he going to be what are you trying to do with him you know you got shagoon you know what are you trying to do with him I think it was there last week was bad my bringing

[00:16:50] in Dylan Brooks and van Lizza is like you what were you trying you what are you trying to microwave you know we say like you want to microwave a chain like what are you doing by bringing in these two

[00:17:01] guys Dylan Brooks can't shoot he's not a threat to shoot and he's not like he's really good defensively he just big he's just a pest he's just big and physical which gets him a thought

[00:17:12] trouble so now you got this big physical dude who can't score on the bench with 2000 or first quarter more often than not I think he's had a bad off season I mean even bringing in

[00:17:23] the coach that just got fired for his other team right you still got it I'm gonna be a big kid I get I get you know giving the shot but it's like let it marinate like let it let the whole

[00:17:35] story come out before you like oh cool he's available let's take oh he's available let's give him a big hot oh he's available and then it's like all right now now we go make sure with these young

[00:17:42] guys it's old coach make it work and they were nowhere near to be like near the player they were fighting for the playing they had a nice little run after old way had his you know she has baby

[00:17:54] but other than that it was like so what do you want to see from San Antonio I think San Antonio I think they should get in the train young conversation okay because they have a guy that's so generation dynamic around the rim that's

[00:18:15] trade young I think he would I think it would work there the job take marin training I don't think they work because I don't think the job is like a great shooter from the outside no he's not good creator

[00:18:28] good size but I don't think he he doesn't give trade young the space he needs I think trade young with windbeat first of all I think he will look for windbeat when he's cut into the lane

[00:18:38] I think he throws at lob to windbeat I don't I don't know how many San Antonio had to stop watching San Antonio games because I'm like this dude is literally the tallest person

[00:18:49] in your sport right now in this league running through the lane his arms I think a standard reaches probably 10 feet like let's be realistic here probably touched the rim flat at least for now because we got that seven foot nine freshman down that Florida right now

[00:19:05] dude I'm just going to have a spin cycle but like it was so many opportunities when he just just throw it up so I think they should get into that and I know like it kind of mixes my

[00:19:18] notion with the old guy and a young guy I'm good with one old guy that's going to make your young guy better and I mean it's not even old though you don't be like this is like year five or six for him

[00:19:30] yeah yeah he's like look at that yeah thank you guys I think that would be the move for San Antonio because really when you're young you don't need to go crazy with all of the offseason

[00:19:45] moves we you have guys that can develop because like like I said they're in the league given an opportunity to develop don't bring in a punch you guys like they would not be a

[00:19:55] Paul George destination of mine paint even though it might be some spurs fans like you know we should get Paul George that's not the destination I would say I'll get to spurs I'll get to

[00:20:04] the spurs when we get to the draft but I've also heard a trade-young's name mentioned with New Orleans you know potentially a trade-young for Brandon Angerum type deal you know that and I think

[00:20:15] that could work out for both teams because I think that CJ McCallum his days are numbered anyway you know Brandon Angerum I think needs a change of scenery like I think New Orleans just needs

[00:20:26] not necessarily start over but they just need to adjust and do something because they've been on the same path for the last few years and we get the same result every year yeah they've been

[00:20:38] laying our bust like for the last few years yeah yeah injuries they have real talent but yeah some some some teams might just need to straight up run it back I don't think everybody needs to make a move it just depends on how the money plays out

[00:20:59] but some teams that are on the brink like those teams at 1 through 5 you know East R. West you should make the move because I think 1 through 5 you make a you make the right move your you're one or two the following year if you're 8 or 9 you're not bringing

[00:21:20] them the guy and giving them 45 50 million dollars a year and going from 8 to 1 like Lucas not available Jason's Tatum is not available. Jason Browse is not available. 2018 the Browse is not available you know like these Katie I mean maybe Phoenix moves KD but even

[00:21:41] with that they're going to want to King's ransom for even for Katie just because hey James Harden maybe available but I don't know what I don't think James Harden is a force multiplier.

[00:21:52] I don't know what he does now that Mark really makes your team better. I think he's a good I think he's a great player I think he'll be obviously a whole of Famer. I still know what he brings

[00:22:04] to your team right now if he goes to anything anything I was thinking about it earlier I can't even play some like you know to be like I have no idea you know what team he would even be

[00:22:18] beneficial for right now. Yeah I don't know what team is good for him only only thing I could think of as if he is if he's flipped the switch that says I'm gonna come off the bench. I think

[00:22:31] that opens up multiple teams but I think he's still probably a 45 50 million dollar year guy and his head and I think even his latest couple of contracts were why don't you know 30

[00:22:43] 5 or 40 million so well he was looking for Billy I think was 37. So are you gonna pay a guy 37 million to come off the bench doubt it? Probably not. It's a guy who expects to get paid 37 million

[00:22:55] going to go to the bench doubt it. Yeah and that's the problem is because like if you're a team like and I'm just throwing like a random team out there think about somebody like Portland you know what

[00:23:05] does he do for you and like are you even at the point where adding him could put you with the playoffs probably not. I don't even know if he gets I mean short of him getting you on TV maybe

[00:23:17] you get that Portland LA game on NBA Tuesday night over but you got it but is are they gonna rather play the Lakers Phoenix game that night or what they want to play the Portland Clippers game

[00:23:30] you know the James Hard and coming back or whatever the case may be like does he give you that if he doesn't give you that then I'm like I don't know what he gives you. Yeah another name but that I have

[00:23:40] my eye on is the Aaron Fox out in Sacramento you know he's eligible for his extension but the word on the street is he's not going to sign it until he see how the roster shapes up you know

[00:23:54] they signed Malik Montgomery signed him four years 78 million bottom back so that's a good move for them provide it that he comes back from the injury healthy and everything like that but you know

[00:24:04] but now the new destiny thing is him and Bama Abayo are really good friends you know because of my NBA player for the Aaron Fox down the road now that would be something big to fit you know what you're

[00:24:17] talking about but I don't think that's gonna happen so I'm looking at Donovan Mitchell because I figured that Cleveland would sign him by now it hasn't happened just yet OG out of Novi declined his

[00:24:31] offer so now he's a free agent so it going to Nick's face you know this OG and that somewhere else or do they are they allowed to match it what qualifying offer is he's just straight up no he's just straight up

[00:24:44] straight up from what I was reading I mean that's that's the the price of going all in I'll have the gamble I like the gamble so when you go all in you get the cards that you don't so

[00:24:58] you know they're waiting for that ace on a river and if you're done come you think I said you got to make the next move you you you have to look around and said it'd be like you know what this guy

[00:25:07] jammed us up you had a good run you got a number two seed you just guys just got injured you'd be Indiana 15 is healthy like you got you got a lot that in like and I think it's probably hard

[00:25:20] when you play for as long as you play I mean like we said the NBA has no offseason the finals were a few days ago they already started talking free agents guys are you know ink and contract and making

[00:25:31] deals then you go right into summer training camps we have the Olympics now so guys will be playing then go straight from the Olympics into pseudo preseason basketball which is very short

[00:25:42] and then the season starts so you work you know tirelessly for 10 or 11 months with a very short break the pins on when you you went out if you didn't make the play also you've been out since April

[00:25:53] you're scouting so you got eight or nine months you put into this you just got to really sit down with our cool are we a player way if we make this move or do we develop one of these guys already in our

[00:26:08] see and I wonder if the nicks are with the OG out of no we do's I wonder if the nicks are the team to watch in Nepal George sweepstakes you know from the standpoint of you know theoretically theoretically

[00:26:21] you know you should be able to get him for cheaper then you were there were OGs look at four because an age and all that so maybe you could get like a little discount and you could convince yourself

[00:26:33] and your fans of look at this we bought in Nepal George like you can't say that we aren't making the effort you know to be I got a guy theoretically he's older he's not the player that

[00:26:44] he once was but I got a player now that can match up with Tatum or Brown you know I have that guy that has playoff experience been to the conference finals you know a

[00:26:56] few times in his career so you know is that a move that the nicks can sell and say that we're trying to still take a step forward or is he too old now or not you know he's so far down

[00:27:12] his decline that it's going to be looked at as a yeah you try it all right this is a thing with Paul George projected salary might start according to ESPN.com last week yeah 49.3 million a year

[00:27:31] that's the negotiation starting point so I don't think OGs getting that no he I think they offered him from what I was hearing if it was correct I think they offered him around 35

[00:27:45] I would just go back to it and give him try to give him a better deal um what that goes back to give point about the genuist ramble you know like if you give really a scramble yeah if you

[00:27:57] do a sign and trade you can move them then by all means because I think Nick's fans will be good with Paul George even at 34 but maybe this is the name right because he's the name

[00:28:10] Mr. Eccidious master square garden can you get you 60 games can you get you 65 games that's you know to be determined that's the problem with like trying to sign these these guys but if you if you think

[00:28:22] you are a player away if the next thing that they are Paul George and PJ Tucker away from beaten Boston then you make that you make that move but if you look at your roster and you think

[00:28:39] okay we can get rid of Julius Randall by Donavitch and Mitchell Robinson and his next couple draft picks and that gets us on the precipice of competing with Boston if you believe that

[00:28:52] make the move if you don't believe that then don't make that move because Boston's gonna get I think they got porzinga snakeshare for cheap juhal days for cheap Derek White still cheap they're gonna pay a lot of money to take them around I imagine preacher probably loves his

[00:29:14] role in Boston I can't see him trying to go anywhere else from money like they because if they give you more money you go to another place like you go to like Chicago someone like that of

[00:29:23] Memphis and you try to put up eight nine ten three's a game I don't think you're gonna get that well this is where we're going to find out just like five ten oh this is where we're going to find

[00:29:33] out about the aprons and what teams are willing to go into the aprons and what teams are going to try to navigate their ways back below you know the new luxury tax rules and all that so we'll

[00:29:44] see that kind of play out during the course of this off season so that's why I got my own a team like Philly because Tobias Harris is gonna be gone you know and that's why I think Paul

[00:29:53] George could work there just from the standpoint of you're not asking Paul George to come there and be the alpha or you know like to be because Maxi's trying to send now you know to be looking

[00:30:05] but the question is is if I bring in Paul George does he stunt Maxi you know because he's a ball handler as well and you know you get into that part of the fit I think it'll fit okay I think Paul

[00:30:17] George is one of those Kevin Durant tight dudes that you could just assimilate almost anywhere I don't know if that would be a problem but I just wonder what you know because if it be this is

[00:30:29] games well if you go to what three if you go to three of them I so know if you can have a 50 million dollar third option it just doesn't seem like a wise business move to pay your third option 50

[00:30:43] million dollars but Philly's got to do something I don't know maybe they moving B and start over with Maxi that would define something big I mean if you think about it what you need to put around

[00:30:57] and be for you guys to be successful it's not out there you had draft opportunities you dropped it guys a lot of money on the roster anymore you had top three picks top four picks top five

[00:31:10] picks so just the backup for a second you don't think OG would be a good fit there he would end up if you want to go 47 and 35 50 and 32 and you know get to the second round of playoffs

[00:31:24] you at you bring one of those but I still don't know if Phil I don't know if Phil he has the the make-up to be more than a second round exit oh it's over the Florida Pappers are your Stanley Cup

[00:31:38] champions they avoided one of the greatest players in history yeah there you go you know said how to behave it doesn't get a ring I don't know if that calls for titties or not but you know

[00:31:52] just check it out four five minutes you know but as like I peel this back and think about it you know there are other names out there to whereas if you believe that MB is still

[00:32:07] gonna be a 32 point in game guy you know maxi is coming through which 27 28 points or whatever you still got people out there potentially like Bobby Portis you know that could come and be a

[00:32:20] significant role player in the front court to help him beat out so maybe you don't need to go Paul George and just go I'ma throw the sink at something and try to make a stick but you know you can

[00:32:30] get a Bobby Portis you can resine buddy healed and you know maybe like you're looking at little pieces around what you already have that gives Boston a different look because I think what's

[00:32:43] going to happen is the goal to state thing where everybody tried to outgo to state go to state so so teams are going to try to build their miniature Celtic and try to outboss them Boston

[00:32:56] and obviously that's not the way to go but since we're talking about the NBA and before we get to this draft what are your thoughts on the one and only JJ Reddick man I saw it by this

[00:33:12] from my pop yesterday I don't know if it's going to work okay I'm gonna work is all about make her feel you're um what he said was was more damning he said he said if LeBron didn't go there

[00:33:32] or after LeBron leaves like if LeBron didn't go there they would be Detroit he was like the organization that he said they would look a lot like Detroit and I was like

[00:33:42] not because it's LA they would be able to just sell the jersey and get a guy in but what he's saying is it does have merit without the brond coming there without being able to keep Kobe

[00:33:57] because Kobe's ready to go to Chicago he talked about that plenty of times because he wanted to get rid of Biden. They figured out a way to keep him happy they gave him money on the back and of his

[00:34:06] career but he said that him the Vanessa will look in that private school just Chicago like he was ready to go like he had it all met thought they were looking at houses and private schools like that's

[00:34:15] how you know a man is ready to move right and he's looking at private schools for his kids in Chicago he was ready to get up out LA but he stayed they made the Paul deal we talked about

[00:34:25] the Jerry West hand off very similar to like the McCail uh Danny's boss in hand off they got KG to boss you know you play golf with a guy long enough to get your good deal LA got LeBron

[00:34:40] because LeBron wanted to go to LA because of magic the magic leaves and then he's like I want AD they clear the cabinets get AD they get a chip out of it but they keep they run their organization

[00:34:54] a lot like a pseudo success organization down in Texas different sport right cowboys I get you know I wish I was in a position to where I had a successful business and I can hire my

[00:35:10] sons to be a part of that business but in the same sense I would also hire people who aren't related to me I would put people in position who who's done this for different types of corporations

[00:35:22] I'd hire guy who ran you know Microsoft Europe to come and do something like just get a different perspective and I think LA they just keep doing the same thing so even if LeBron and JJ

[00:35:36] Reddick didn't converse about the hiring what I believe that are not I don't care as a relevant the fact that you just hired a guy with no experience who's connected personally and socially to your best player is

[00:35:53] exact same thing you're already doing Kurt Rambis should not be calling the shots or his wife for a basketball organization that he was mediocre for when he was a coach. Jeannie Bus granted she got the team from her dad she fired her brother and then has Rob Polica

[00:36:10] and only XPDC has is like he was Kobe's agent so you keep running these same circles and they're going to wonder like what's going to happen you're not going to be able to move any of these guys

[00:36:20] you're going to have to overpay LeBron get him to stay or he can literally walk like he can literally walk if he wanted to I'm pretty sure the private jet from Dallas LA isn't going to

[00:36:30] cost him that much if he wants to know sometimes I feel like Jeannie wants them to what I think is I thought the same thing for Dallas I don't think they have people in the room

[00:36:45] like like I said I've been talking about this at work I'm like you guys don't have old heads in these meetings that say this is stupid I've seen this go wrong 12 years ago I don't think there's

[00:36:55] anyone in the room everyone's thinking optimistically if we hired Jeannie he's going to be great no one's like yo what do we hire do who has no coaching experience only coaching experience

[00:37:06] you have is playing for good coaches no NBA finals runs no like that's all he has that's all he really has is that he's played for great coaches to see that's the problem because in sports we know

[00:37:20] that a lot of these teams go to the well they go to something that worked in the past and they try to recreate magic so what we saw oh magic see what I did there but but what they do is you know

[00:37:33] you go back to 1981 82 or whatever you know you got Paul West head wins the NBA title then he gets into it but magic Johnson they fall off you know they have these arguments magic asked for a

[00:37:45] tree and then lower and behold you got Pat Riley waiting in the wings who was the assistant coach but prior to that prior to being the assistant coach he was calling Laker games so you know

[00:37:58] he was sitting there you know calling games just like JJ was calling games the suffrage jj was doing in on a national level you know and then Pat finally did that for one year right and Pat

[00:38:10] well that NBA finals yeah somehow Pat Riley became the dawn the godfather XYZ so if you're a Laker you know because like you said crampus you know you got all these methods that were there

[00:38:26] great folks uh Cremus right bar never wanted to coach Steve Nash with the Brooklyn terrible run Derek Fisher terrible run as they had Thomas terrible run Steve courage the only one

[00:38:39] had to successful run yeah but he had three yes well more Jackson was okay they just got rid of him before we saw Mark Jackson built that team and Steve you know Mark Jackson took a 90 yards

[00:38:51] and then Steve courage got it you know first you get a hurt stuff first and first and go from the 10 and took a moment over the hump yeah like I like I said you can hire whatever you want

[00:39:02] and I get that sometimes hires or just kind of meant to you could have got Sam Cacel he has all the experience you got a guy Sam Cacel but you just wanted to just kind of keep it Kali keep it pretty

[00:39:20] well they want to talk on loop you know the name but we're gonna get time on loop the clippers clippers keep that and don't piss my pocket and tell me it's raining you know

[00:39:28] damn well Steve bombers not letting that do lead the building really it's like imagine I bring of like a third friend onto this show and then you just he think he's gonna take my spot or

[00:39:43] he'll take his problem maybe we could do this but like no you're not I'm not getting rid of Mike for you we've been doing this for years and just started dealing with you like now and then

[00:39:51] on top of that time on loop they offered them three years 18 million dollars a few years ago it's not like people forgot that there's no way to help they would get in time on a loop

[00:39:59] they weren't getting hurtly they would just put in up these smoke streets but they live in LA they live in a fainace line everyone who talks about LA is like listen Haliwood and people who associate with life on highly will live in fainace and land

[00:40:11] I always says like if pop a racy bothers you when you go to this restaurant why do y'all go every single day why do you eat lunch at the groove why do I know what the

[00:40:22] grove is because people like they like this whole glamour thing I think JJ looks like the glamour's pick these 40 he's handsome he talks basketball he talks smart he has this this kind of

[00:40:37] arrogant I want to do come from citrophogeneic arrogance to him like he has that and that's what they want it all by the way love brought his my boy Lebron's my friend he's exact he's a polar opposite of Darwinian Darwin him

[00:40:53] just looked angry look at the football players like he just he didn't look the part and I think in LA they want you to look the part and I think they hired him like they were casting the

[00:41:04] part of a head coach not actually hiring a head coach yes so then of course you know we take it over to lick airy the cleave look at the lears of higher their new coach Kenny Aconson a former

[00:41:17] Brooklyn that fame he's been on the golden state warrior staff the last couple of years under Steve Kerr so what do you think about that higher I think it's a good move because it's a

[00:41:27] smart move okay you have a team that has potential you got to figure out what you're going to do with your star you know how you keep down with Mitchell happy how do you get having a moment

[00:41:37] ball how do you you know like I said they have pieces of granite most of these guys right now aren't going to be able to compete with Boston but I think you have a good core foundation

[00:41:51] I didn't agree with them getting rid of the last coach so if they if they're looking at their roster and they think that they should have done more in the playoffs that's going to be a problem

[00:42:00] so I think he can make escape but I looked up I try to find the details of his contract couldn't find it like JJ got four years 32 million eight million a year seems about right for a guy

[00:42:10] of zero experience Aconson I imagine if I'm going to get figure gets nine at least if I'm his agent like you got to get me more than the guy has no coach in the spirits you got to get

[00:42:22] more than that like you can't really all right you get four years 28 million like now yeah and Aconson has a reputation of being a good developmental coach we saw what he did in Brooklyn

[00:42:33] you know started out with 20 wins got him up to 42 got him up to 42 in the playoffs with Caris Levert the gang then Whitty you know so he has coaching chops down his overall record eight

[00:42:46] much to talk about but let me like let me it's you know when 90 is something yeah but let me back that up for a second if you will because the first roster that he had in Brooklyn included such

[00:42:56] gyms as Quincy AC Anthony Bennett you know Bobo Baudada this Trevor Booker Yo G Ferrell Randy Foie Archie Griffin so on so forth Ron Day Hollis Jefferson you know so he was starting from scratch for real and he got that team you know to the playoffs that

[00:43:17] the kids are definitely out there yeah we thought they were family and we've not learned yet we thought they were going to be one of those scrappy teams that was going to be in our

[00:43:27] ecosystem for a few years but then once they were able to you know talk the cabin to rant talk the Kyrie they were like oh this is gonna work now they're the popular girl in school and they don't

[00:43:40] yeah the rag a muffler too yeah they they treated him they treated him like a Kelly Stafford did Joe Cox wants Matt got his shit together you know that's basically what happened there but uh

[00:43:54] you know but we got that going on you know I think it's a good move um Clevvers got some roster questions to figure out now you know the main Donovan Mitchell is due for his contract so

[00:44:04] are you gonna move Darius Garland and from what I hear Donovan Mitchell was very involved in Aconston getting this job you know then you got Jared Allen is he out of here you know

[00:44:16] what are you gonna do with Evan Mowgli as far as find his ways to make him more effective and efficient you know the way that I think of him at least you know what Minnesota did

[00:44:26] they just gotta look at what Minnesota did like look how Minnesota worked there smaller garden might kindly their star shooting guard with aunt two bigs down low and then you get a guy in the weaver could actually not gonna shock for thevert was just not it like

[00:44:42] they was leaving him wide open door open unlocked and it was like he couldn't still come in couldn't hit the head of the door I think or he might keep thevert though since they got the

[00:44:52] Brooklyn history we'll see you know I don't think you really need to reinvent the wheel like the wheel is is a shape you've gotta get you know better tread on it so of course you know and

[00:45:02] then we got the pistons out here you know like looking for a coach apparently James Burego's the leader there but we got a draft in two days so you know it might be a good question you

[00:45:15] find your coach last week in the sidraft you got and you fired the GM you know you know yeah it just the Strasion Langden really gonna come in with this grand plan and that's well apparently you

[00:45:29] got to pay the coach 65 million dollars what what what oh trade it like that works out he at least has the history with Burego working together in New Orleans so you know maybe we got some little

[00:45:42] your my buddy and my network so you know he more than likely will be the head coach but speaking of the draft so you fired coach you get the new GM he fires a coach any harses boy so the collusion to me

[00:45:54] the hey you know said that's why the businessman working since his existence right yeah you could fire me for $65 million Jimbo Fisher status I might the court side seats at the

[00:46:10] pissons game it just not let have people sitting in them yeah it's just me every get it they on TV and buying a buy a section of seats on so is empty so we got this NBA draft starting on Wednesday

[00:46:23] continue it into Thursday two day draft you know first time which is odd you know you could get draft doing a commercial break in the second round but like you wouldn't thought

[00:46:36] you would have thought next year's draft would be to draft to go to two days you know what all the talent but you know it is what it is you got to start somewhere maybe they try to have the

[00:46:44] sea high works if he's even effective so I'm wondering if and I know we do this with every draft it doesn't matter if it's NFL draft doesn't matter if it's NBA draft we always talk about like

[00:46:56] tree tree but if this draft is perceived to be as bad as we've been told there might be some actual trades now you might not see players move so much but you might see some pick movement you know

[00:47:11] as people are like hey I like this guy he's not I'm the six pick he'll be there at 11 you know I could trade back and all that kind of stuff like that because realistically we know

[00:47:24] that one of SAR or Risa Shea is going to go one or two unless dawn of in Klingon comes through crush the buildings you know as I know Atlanta likes him a lot but yeah those are the three

[00:47:37] data probably going to go number one you know nobody else in that conversation yeah like I said I haven't like you're more the college sports expert of the show I'm more the the logical thinker

[00:47:51] I would I put all of my if I'm in the top five I'm taking whatever I'm trying to take somebody's offer like what are you trying to give up to get this pick because if you look at some of these

[00:48:05] guys we go talk about the overtime elite the glee guys their team records are terrible they're all projects most of them are small there's so a lot of big guys in NBA like I use the example SAR he is probably 71 201 Paul George is like 68 240

[00:48:29] so if he has to like bang and get switched on to Paul George he might come back him down you got you back 30 to 40 pounds and most the finns players are built like that you got it you got a guard jailing jailing brown jailing brown like 6.7 22230

[00:48:48] like these guys a big grown man muscle to up do's even Julius Brown was a big guy 6.69 you know jailing browns is a small guy but he's bigger than 200 pounds so you got these 7

[00:49:00] footers like keep coming in Lee thinking they could do it at 200 pounds it's like I'm not taking you second third fourth fifth if you're not if you're not built to defend I mean I need you

[00:49:13] big enough to defend you know somebody's guys like a step on shoot 3 I need you big enough to defend Anthony Edwards like if you're if I'm drafted as a Ford and you're small and the the best

[00:49:25] guards in our league is like well that's why I'm hoping that the reports are true and I do get SAR because you're in the middle of a rebuild anyway you know what are you going to do with

[00:49:39] Kusma you know you have holes everywhere so you know this is a perfect surprise gift of no hope man yeah it's a dire for the NBA is gonna either get rid of some teams and combine them

[00:49:56] because it is dire if you look across the league it was Detroit and Washington were out of the playoffs and December well Boston one more games in this playoff run did Detroit and Washington

[00:50:09] won all into games you know so that's first they're foremost you know to be but you know looking at Washington you know they drafted a balal coolabali last year another project you know so you got

[00:50:22] Kyle Kusma which we have to figure out what you want to do I'm sure they're going to get phone calls about did he of the you know there's rumors that Tim Hardaway is the Vegas leader or the wizards are

[00:50:34] the Vegas leader to get Tim Hardaway Jr so that shows you the state of the wizard's right there so as we watch some get hot one game and then every other game be coders Antarctica

[00:50:48] yeah so as a wizard's fan I would like to have reshush a you know to be but just being realistic I know that saw hasn't worked out with Atlanta because people haven't talked to Atlanta at all

[00:50:59] but I've also learned that doesn't necessarily mean anything because Palo Bancaro didn't talk to Orlando at all everybody thought if Ari Smith was going number one so so we're in that smoke screen

[00:51:09] stage where people are just reporting everything and people are running with it as fat I'm getting a gap in college I'm getting the gap in the NCAA unless he's generationally talented or just so

[00:51:22] definitely that's why I bought up dawn of in clinging because it looks like you guys played against the real competition I'm not saying these European players aren't the crimp to the crimp of

[00:51:34] their league but a lot of them it's not a lot of Lucas I know it's been a lot of conversation about all these foreign players taking all these spots not really give me Joker and Luca and then

[00:51:46] give me a next best white foreign player because Canada is in Canada is North America right you got marketing in like what do you have them so bonus maybe but so bonus isn't making teams better he's just

[00:51:59] a really good basketball player right he's just as good as any other just as good as Bradley Bill is for the sun it's like Bradley Bill isn't isn't it like he's not changing your franchise just

[00:52:10] like a guy's gonna get you 20 something points will and so bonus is case around 20 points 10 rebounds Bradley Bill is going to get you 23 24 points 4 5 rebounds 3 4 6 just a really really good guy you know potential all star but for the most part these foreign players don't come over here

[00:52:28] and dominate it should be a lot of South American players remember that they had their run genoblies and uh school us and all these guys have played for Argentina they had their run

[00:52:38] but eventually it fades when you keep coming in the league 200 pounds and you got a bang with you know real like school winners and granted didn't do them so many favors what has worked

[00:52:48] performance played looks in built like a grown man right you know like I think you can get that around down of a little short stocky strong guy like you're you can't just keep thinking that oh

[00:53:00] because this guy's foreign he puts up these stats because even when you look at their stats they're putting them like 17 points 7 rebounds it's not like they're out there dropping 40 you're like oh

[00:53:11] just got unlike you know given to do it Tennessee does get in 12 at 13 points 8 and I rebounds outtake him SEC tested American basketball player over a foreign guy who's playing against a

[00:53:23] bunch of dudes that won't even make a great you know a top league in Europe as I think the whole fascination with the European players is kind of being uh it's an extension of like the the Luca

[00:53:34] fact yeah so watch this lag for flag is what I hear there you know but uh but you know but that lands a you know like I said uh quick and Bella is allegedly on the trade block so that's where

[00:53:45] maybe you could talk yourself into Donovan Klegon that gives you that national champion back the back national champion this year he was the anchor you know so you have that college competition

[00:53:56] that you're talking about you know 7 2 or so so you know how effective is he going to be unless you're looking for like that really go bare God because I'm not sure what the center's offensively

[00:54:09] are doing right now you know from the top all the suit breeze everybody done me the suit breeze like I get it that you live by three and die by three and boss a shot a lot of three

[00:54:21] right right the so did okay see and so did Dallas and so did the clippers and so to all those other teams and you still need playmakers around the rim when they couldn't stop the

[00:54:34] league in a game three jailing brown hit a 15 foot mid-range jumper to put them up five he didn't hit a 27 foot three you know Kyrie Irvin a guard hit the three in the championship

[00:54:49] against the the the warriors the warriors it wasn't Kevin love or Chris Bosh I hear shoot not like Ray Allen hit the three like guard shoot the threes Chris Bosh big man got rebound like that's

[00:55:05] that's the simple basketball game i don't want to stay by everyone's sewing namburg with the whole three points out I guess cool and to get a gap there's shooting 22% like Luca did in finals

[00:55:14] right it's great when it go in so for me the draft starts at number four you know because one of the two French men are going one they're going one two in some order sarin riser shade number three

[00:55:28] everybody seems to have read shepherds cancelled into the rockets um i think the rockets could trade out of that pick but number four is where it starts for me because what the sand it's only

[00:55:39] you do you know i like stifon castle right there so that's why i said i was gonna wake to we got to the draft because you put up the trade young thing uh i like I like stifon castle there just

[00:55:49] for maybe him and trade completely together i don't know but but i like castle from this standpoint uh no i'm very you know well you told me you saw my descendant to it yeah i'm thinking i'm thinking

[00:56:00] a lana tree yeah i'm talking about for the spurs because you know you have windbeez your front court anchor you can have castle is your back court anchor i think he's going to be one of those

[00:56:13] like best case scenario that this is way down the road best case scenario he becomes an sgac on a guy you know i don't know if he'll ever be a 3. shooter that you know maybe he could knock him down but

[00:56:27] i don't think he's ever going to be the we got a game plan for his shot i don't think he's ever going to be that guy just you have this pop have that that developmental stitch now does he still

[00:56:40] have that week and like that's a great question guys and like build them because i miss a lot of years and it's like i really want to keep doing this that's a great question you know like it

[00:56:51] if not maybe you go busilist there instead of uh staff castle you know um so so or if you're the spurs could you trade up for another one of the frenchman you know so like there's a whole

[00:57:05] lot in play here where you know we're going to find out real quick what sand told you was planned for windbeez depending on the maneuvers that they make in the track as they got two first they got

[00:57:16] two picks at the top 10 they got number four and number eight so so so they have a chance to solidify early to us this is what we're going to look like next year we're going forward with a plan right

[00:57:30] you know so so that's where i think the draft starts there you got to Troy that number five for the third straight year and i have no idea what Detroit does because you know you got K cutting ham

[00:57:42] you got jaden ivy in the back court you got Marcus sasser last year who might be at the point where he's good enough to where you think about training ivy you know you got jellin derendent

[00:57:54] the front court you know alongside of the big ticket you know jays lasvin and baggie you know so so Detroit has a bunch of the same player everywhere or they have a bunch of

[00:58:11] they don't need a draft pick you know to be they just need to potentially ship somebody get a loving or somebody like that you know and you know it just you know they just need they need a

[00:58:22] veteran they need somebody that could shake up the minutes because they're basically I feel I feel bad for some of these NBA jams i'm just looking like there's no reprieve for you

[00:58:35] yeah you still got a star Thompson that you're trying to fit into the world that's the thing you didn't even mention like he like you don't think he said Thompson it's like your end of position where

[00:58:45] you're just in this this this is fastball purgatory because of poor decisions but it's their own fault you fired your coach last week and pay him $65 million I can't imagine that you're going to make

[00:58:57] a great decision this week in your draft like it just it just doesn't make any sense so so something that's a great it out take take whatever you can get from another team

[00:59:07] that could potentially help you even if it only helps you 10% right get to get the 29 wins like do that get you don't something know you because if you don't the you because all you got

[00:59:23] right here you said at was that five yeah yeah and they got it's not say a stuber five for Detroit they got them taken another guard in this life draft like I don't feel us today so one guy got him

[00:59:37] Cody Williams out of Colorado another guy got this Bouselis out of Glyg tonight which we we could talk about the record they went to in 32 and 32 but they got four you know two top five

[00:59:52] try to set up yeah yeah play they went 232 so it's like you're going to take a guy who has no idea how to win at a professional level even though it's like and he's the one who you're saying

[01:00:04] if I would have shot better this year I would be the double one draft pick so now you're going to take that guy and go and add him to one of the worst seat teams in the league. Well something

[01:00:16] that I heard was if clinging is still there maybe they go clinging and trade different to somebody like Memphis you know to be if I say a stuber it is on the train block too so

[01:00:29] Detroit is basically under reconstruction at as we speak so like yeah I'm trading down or maybe I'm not even trading down maybe I'm just like can I get a player and you take this pick and one of my players

[01:00:44] if you take you take the best player available that actually fills a need and develop this six six seven the six eight guard. I don't know if they're three or I don't know what their needs are because they're about to give Kede a big contract

[01:01:01] you know but I don't think you know to hold uh trade young to Johnson and Mary thing I don't think him and Ivy fit together very well you know to me then you got a star that you're trying to fit in

[01:01:12] you know pick they didn't need another pick they didn't need so I like him I like him you'd like him is it's the same we'll talk about it with the focus and Kirk because we like

[01:01:22] Michael Pinnick's it just you didn't need them right just drafted a guy and then like I said if you're going to go with a rotation of like the Portland Trailblazers back in the day when they had

[01:01:32] essentially a starting lineup with Greg Anthony Rod Strictlin with she while saying like a starting lineup coming off the bench is like there's too many guys right that's too many guys getting close

[01:01:42] to get this NBA. Yeah now if you got guys that come in and it give you give me give me a good 12 minutes give me six heart minutes in the first half six heart

[01:01:53] minutes in second half I give you the green light on corner three's this is this is the powder Sam Houser Priture this is these are your moments that you come in I said oh and okay see

[01:02:06] what they were trying to do with hard away in the the the recent finals run but the Lakers trying to do it all they're kind of their max of suit like lineup they were

[01:02:17] putting up there just get guys out there and get them get their get them some sweat get them some sweat equity on the floor and see what works instead of just bringing in another guy saying

[01:02:29] like Ivy does a work like yeah he was a scoring champ right he was a score he was scoring a ball and college the rim is the same height yes the defense is a different but it's like he has that

[01:02:41] innate ability everybody can't everyone's not great scores we saw you see it in the playoffs when it's like what Kai we was doing around the rim everybody can't do right so if you

[01:02:52] have a guy that can do that you need to find a way to get them on the floor you don't draft another guy who takes minutes away from them and try to pay him all right right there you got this by these

[01:03:02] same teams are in the top 10 every year yeah they you got the hornet set six you don't know what a new hit coach Charles Lee you know what do you do there Steph Castle could be an option there if he's

[01:03:16] still on the board you know outside of that what are you doing with the mellow so I think it was once again it's just it seems either put them serve the preparatory or they just they don't have

[01:03:32] an advisor in the room that's independent like this check is on you can't fire them the person just gives their their their opinion his are her opinion like right you guys are making bad moves don't fire this coach it doesn't make any sense to fire this coach

[01:03:52] when he had released it with our best player whatever the case may be or we got a pan 65 million dollars that's a lot of money that we're just wasting on the coaches we got

[01:04:03] a higher another coach who knows we'd like to fire coaches so he's gonna demand more money yep and sure he can secure this back I think you got uh you got Portland coming up after that

[01:04:13] who looks like they like Zach Edy but Portland just like the spurs they pick at seven and 14 so if they want Edy they could probably get a map 14 so maybe seven could be

[01:04:27] jailing Williams little brother Cody you know my guy from Colorado who I like a lot but he needs to gain some weight and probably get a little bit more experience but uh Portland is in that

[01:04:39] same position like Washington where you know you got 288 for what you're probably going to try to get rid of him if you can they got brawden, Simon, Scoot Henderson, shade in sharp all in

[01:04:51] the back court so you don't need another guard so you know like these teams keep putting themselves in this position there's only so many minutes that you're gonna play these guys like we're talking

[01:05:03] so moving down the line you know somewhere around that eight to ten range I like Devon Carter Biggie's player the year out of Providence and proved just three points shot he played three years of college he went from 26 to 29 to 37 percent this year he's only six three

[01:05:21] you know so that's gonna be the problem there because I don't know if he's just a tough point no but but I think NBA GM's kind of like only six three seven six three well I was just

[01:05:33] gonna say I don't know if he's a full-time point guard that's where I was going with that oh yeah so he might be too small to be a full-time too but I don't know if he's a full-time one

[01:05:42] but what I do know is that he's a dog and you know like add him to your roster we'll have benefits you know and maybe and looking at a team in that range I'm looking at Utah you know next

[01:05:57] the he-on-tay George that could be Utah's future back court if college sixth and is out there but if Memphis is looking at moving Marcus smart as I brought up earlier he could fit there as well

[01:06:13] you know or is Memphis going to trade up to get clinging so Memphis isn't a position where they could probably train down or it doesn't even matter because Memphis has their team intact

[01:06:25] job of ramp was just suspended in the engine from most of the year so Memphis doesn't eat the swing foot offenses if you will I'm looking I think my guy in this drafts and a exact EAT more than

[01:06:38] I know a lot of a lot of the tensions been put on you know guys like Ronnie and a lot of the foreign players I'm looking at Zach EAT because it's like I get it you feel like he's not that

[01:06:48] athletic but then he goes on outperforms brook low pizzes you know combine time then you get him an NBA is an older guy mature guy champion will say a video Olympics you know so like just a guy

[01:07:03] that could just really really ball like ran it yeah you couldn't beat you con this tough but like to win that many games to win player to year basically swept all the player year awards for two

[01:07:14] years in a row and now you're gonna go get a guy from France to average 11 points so they just doesn't make me sense to me with these in B.A. if you look at them because they're looking at measurables

[01:07:25] and not basketball yeah but it's you know looking at them you're looking at A because I don't think you're going to be a little more important I need you from 20 if I get you from 24 to 30

[01:07:35] and for 26 to 30 you in all clicks then that's four seasons of sold out basketball or restaurants pop in we're on the other side you get them to 32 and it's still the same exactly so

[01:07:48] long as I get you if I get you here like okay see at 12 they would number one seat you need would be right there you get chat you could play a hitman chat on four the same time you

[01:08:01] get chat out there extending the floor ZD that 80 down low get rebounds I just I just don't understood like build better check say he's like don't tell them what a guy can't do tell him

[01:08:10] but he can't do they think it rebound of score he's gonna get whoever is defending him is going to be in foul trouble right because he's kind of he's gonna be he's gonna back you now and he's

[01:08:21] going to be through you so you got to have to follow like when be was going to go up and over you because he's so long as strong as 80 is the same size and probably like 270 to 80 something crazy

[01:08:36] like that so I would I would I would take a shot with 80 if I'm one especially if I'm one of these teams that like maybe not Portland but if I'm just like like so you know like I said okay see it

[01:08:54] 12 number one seed I wouldn't draft the developmental player I would draft the guy I could put in right now I also like for okay see I can't remember right now if they have more than one I think they might

[01:09:07] have more than one first route pick as well but but I like the draw at home. I'm sick of right now yeah I like the Ron Holmes out of date for them too even though that might be a little high for him

[01:09:18] you know he's a 39% 3. shooter big guy that can stretch the floor you know put him next to home grant and mix it up and you know defensively you know offensively you still get that

[01:09:33] Boston element that we were talking about earlier so that could be a look too if they if they're willing to trade down a lot of people like don't connect I know you brought up Tennessee you know

[01:09:44] yeah yeah he was like he put up a lot of shots and they came against Purdue but it was like he kind of showed with that moment you need you need a guy like then on your team like yeah

[01:09:55] he's been a lot of people on him lately I'm not so big on him so to speak but like I could see you like a lukon art type dude out of him you know which isn't bad depending on

[01:10:06] what team you are so if you're Memphis that's a perfect role for a guy like yeah give me 18 to 20 minutes of you know stretching the floor 35 40% from three like I'm good with my guard or forward a

[01:10:23] small forward shoot like that I want to I want to power forward that can rebound I want to center that can defend the rim because we talked about it literally Dallas had two guys that

[01:10:36] could defend the rim and Minnesota can do anything about it they couldn't do anything about it because they couldn't stress the floor but if I could stress the floor offensively and defend the rim

[01:10:47] defensively like then you're good to go right that's why I think Memphis would be a perfect spot for Dalton connect because I think that where they are and what they are that's what they're

[01:11:02] missing that small forward spot has been a whole for the that's why they you know they had Dylan Brooks there they bought him Marcus smart they've been waiting for Zayir Williams to do anything

[01:11:13] that resembles basketball and it's just not happening so you know so if not Dalton connect maybe that's where Jalen Williams little brother will go you know Ron Holland you know he's the other

[01:11:25] piece of that G Lee ignite that we were talking about you know and I don't know what to think about this guy like literally he's either going to be Vince Carter or he's going to be worse than

[01:11:39] RJ Barry like there's no in between like so I'm thinking of like a cam reddish like like there's no in between he's either going to be Vince Carter or Stanley Johnson yeah that's tough man it's like

[01:11:54] these guys they go they go to G Lee thick in that oh this is better than college I'm getting paid and it was good move at first and then the NCAA announced N.I.L. I believe a year after

[01:12:09] the G Lee said you know you will give me 500 grand if it was if it wasn't one year was too but I believe it was like the following half season they're like I will let you do get your N.I.L. so these guys

[01:12:20] to go on out of it I don't know I don't always develop me you got going 232 right I mean you got the shooter lot because I mean he got the shooter like 20 points 90 and a half point so I mean he got the

[01:12:31] shooter lot you know the game so like I don't know what translates to winning in that in that kind of environment or do you go there thinking like you know what I'm getting this file right but we look

[01:12:43] through anyway we looked at the rosters for the better the better G the teams with the best reference in the G league and you know it wasn't anything crazy that stood out you know to

[01:12:53] mean like that McClump was on one of the teams but you know it is what it is but you know you know I'm like a name that I've heard I'm gonna say I like a name that I heard is T. John Salud

[01:13:07] you know potentially going to San Antonio at eight he played or I'm sorry not played he has the same agent as Winby so you know you have some friends yeah so you have some form of connection there

[01:13:23] another name that I'm looking forward to seeing is Bub Carington you know he is an top he wasn't a top 100 player but if you're a contender he could be a nice guy to stash like you

[01:13:35] know if you're a Milwaukee I'm in a soda a Denver somebody like that he could be the nice developmental guy that you know you got after the Edwards did place or you know like in Denver

[01:13:46] you're gonna lose KCP potentially so you're gonna need something potentially but not to come in a B star they did re-sign Reggie Jackson for whatever reason today 10 points off the bench you can't like you're 10 points couple of rebounds couple of sesoth the bench that's that's

[01:14:06] that's the solid role player you would like that guy to be younger and develop and that an older guy get you to 10 points but if it works if it works for the floor of your end of that

[01:14:16] end of the end of your offense and I think that you know that's a good move. I don't I don't know if a resident say is watching but you know what they we talked about one player we talked about

[01:14:26] yesterday was during McCain out of Duke because he's a Duke fan and he's also a Miami heat so for me that's a perfect fit you know jerk McCain to the Miami heat you know he's one of

[01:14:40] those culture guys you know shot 40% from three this year at Duke you know shot something like 51% in transition all of the reads you know he's he went to the doctor he's not the figure

[01:14:56] nail painting thing going on but he went to you know he's he went to Steph carries camp he went to Chris Paul's camp so he's definitely you know like a student of the game if you will which that's

[01:15:09] why like that's some of the reason why I think that he would fit in Miami I would like to see you know how that plays out of Jacobi Walter for a bailer he's one of those guys he's going to

[01:15:23] be feast of famine I think that he's more like a slimmer slightly more athletic Tim Hardaway Jr so you know another guy that you're not at him right now you're not expecting him to come in

[01:15:38] turn the fortunes of your franchise around but if you're in that 18 to 25 range you know he's another piece that can add on to where you're on your route too you know I think he'll be a good

[01:15:51] NBA player but the one name in that range and I'm looking at as Isaiah Collier you know everybody remember saying from USC he was on the team with the guy that we'll get to later you know they

[01:16:02] brought me but uh he's a type of Evan's kind of guy you know can't shoot but I think that he was hindered at USC there's some players that you see you look at in college and you're like the

[01:16:16] structure of college basketball wasn't for this player so now with the NBA being a more open game a little more ISO friendly I think that he has the opportunity to become all star

[01:16:32] down the road you know we put because it's only 20 feet for your three it's easy to thin like in the two three zone the I mean the freezer on 15 feet and then the three points like it's easy

[01:16:45] to defend with the NBA being after like 22 nine and the corner I think we three plus it gives you a few you know a few more feet and a little bit more space to operate um you know so we'll talk about

[01:16:58] brony later but I say like get sometimes a structure of college might not work for a guy uh if he goes to but if you go someplace that lets him play the way he wants to play like so if you are you go to

[01:17:12] Kansas you're going to play bill self system like you're not going to just be out here trying to drop 40 but Steph Curry at Davidson he was the system right how do we get you open so you can get shots

[01:17:25] remember back in the day Jimmerford that it be why you every player can't get that but if you if you are able to kind of you know get that that opportunity that's why it's kind of hard to judge

[01:17:36] these guys especially like you come to guys you guys are average in 12 points 10 points but they are keeping their opponents in 60 this 65 point range you don't need four guys trying to score

[01:17:49] 20 points I see the guys playing it's no defense so it is all projecting that thank you you kind of look at the cops if you're a GM but in the same sense you gotta look at your team like

[01:18:00] do I need another guy like this right you know do I have four guys who are 676668 who can't really shoot three if I already have four those guys then don't get the next one hoping that his 29%

[01:18:16] college can go up to 36% they be a cause it's unlikely yeah and another name in that range I was looking at is Nikola Topic you know I didn't say Yo-Kits I didn't say Joe Vitch I said Topic another one

[01:18:30] another Nikola you know he was supposed to be one of the spurs targets earlier in this process but now he has a partially torn ACL so you know I'm wondering if he could fall somewhere like or land though

[01:18:44] you know but the only question I have about him is he Jeremy Lynn or is he going to drag it you know that's going to determine where he goes you know coming off the partially torn ACL

[01:18:58] I'm not sure how much film NBA teams have on him I'm sure somebody's been scouting them you know but but you know he's going to fall in the draft but that may be a good thing

[01:19:08] you know Rob Dillingham you know we talked about him off camera you know I think he's probably 5-11 he might even be 5-10 smaller frame than Alan Overson and give him 6 foot at the combine

[01:19:22] I think I've seen him listed at 6-1 before but I really don't think he's that I really don't think he's that tall that's probably him in his shoes yeah and you know he's got all the skill

[01:19:34] he can score so this was say 2017 you know he could fit into that Isaiah Thomas role in Boston you know but the problem is if you're a little dude like that you got to have something that

[01:19:47] stands out have abnormally long arms or something like that which he doesn't have so I think that he'll be okay in the league but there's a lot of people out there that think that he's just going to be a scoring machine maybe in that Kyrie type of vein

[01:20:03] so I'll reserve judgment on that until I see that yeah that's going to be pretty tough to to do because I know he came into the game to take you with a green light right he was

[01:20:15] spiring off he he reminds me a little bit of max he the way he kind of comes off and just just attacks you know attacks the team by trying to score the basketball which I think works

[01:20:27] if you are on a team that's kind of built to develop like if you go to a team like if you're on San Antonio and it's like okay these guys are young and they're trying to score I don't know if

[01:20:39] that works if you end up so we're like New Orleans where if they still get if they kept running in the game and it kept Zion I don't know if you're the guy just coming there just kind of

[01:20:48] fire off we think you're open you know I don't know if you get that green light maybe you could maybe Miami could be that spot if they get rid of Jimmy Butler Miami played a lot of younger

[01:20:58] guys they played the other Nicola the Nicola Jolvitch he got out run Tommy Hawkes how many highcas got a lot of run I think they're they believe in a Tyler hero more they gave him gate don't get Robbs was in the doghouse for like a whole season

[01:21:14] when you ever forgot what year was it was Fees back I was like how can you can't get this guy in the game I get that you want to play defense but it's like you know sometimes you just need

[01:21:22] to get it it's like listen making me 12 points 1215 point suit knee spotted threes or dribble drive in that thing you free throws is 80 plus percent free throw shooter right I did a course you know

[01:21:34] my wizard's got a second pick in the first round as well so you know I like to see Johnny Furfeeder from Kansas the Ozzy Ozzy you know you know I could see him as the the friend Vaughnner type

[01:21:47] you know from Orlando you know and that all that is is Washington just filling out the front court and you know taking I don't want to say he's a project I think he's really

[01:21:58] going to be a good player but you're tanking so you know you're not trying to trade up you're not trying to do any coach loads is a coach if you can match just match the scheme to the players

[01:22:12] you have and see what you get like right every lot of you see it's going to be a few teams that are going to be sub 24 wins next year just like we saw this year it's going to be a lot of teams

[01:22:23] that are around I imagine Portland is probably going to take a their particle me just as bad yeah it's a solid you god it'll probably be gone so as long as you can like marry the talent

[01:22:37] that you have to the coach you staff and the scheme you live and die with it right now it's going to be a lot of teams probably like 10 teams like all the teams are fighting for the playing

[01:22:49] because you know 20 or 30 teams and NBA make them play all essentially those 10 that didn't get in they're probably it's probably going to be the same 10 and the teams that are like 89 89 and 10 they're probably the same ones like you know you got your lakers and

[01:23:06] probably even like golden state I think a lot of things are going to take this step back because it's not enough talent it's not enough guys that are really coming in and matching

[01:23:16] their draft stock it's not a lot of guys that are coming in really dynamic and change the franchise where we used to see that a lot we used to see the number one two three four pick

[01:23:25] number six and seven those guys come in and like they really they get a real shot and they get to change the franchise is not it just they're drafting developmental guys in top 10 and I'm like

[01:23:36] my team is terrible that's one minute top 10 right that's why I want to 345 every soon here I need a guy that can come in and get me 1, 2 and 3 points as often as possible

[01:23:49] and defend the other team from scoring on this that's what I need and for some reasons it's a lot of developmental players is getting picked and it's just like just watering down the lead to

[01:24:00] the point where you got guys like Paul George you know 34 years old by the get 50 million dollars all right then you know you got turned shant in junior fresh off beaten the case that he was

[01:24:13] abruptly as least set up for you know what's he going to be as an NBA player I got a wide range on him you know like you remember I was talking about the guy all right yeah I was talking about

[01:24:25] Ron howl and is he gonna be vits codder or like down there in the camp reddish zone that's that's sort of how I look at turn shant and like he's either gonna be jailing brown you know even though

[01:24:36] he's left handed he's either gonna be jailing brown or he's gonna be Kelly Uberay like he's somewhere in that spectrum you know I just don't know where he fits because he's not overly athletic and that's why like you know when you look at jailing brown

[01:24:52] he's athletic for his size but he's not necessarily blowing you away a lot of the times like you know he's not doing his base out there and all that kind of thing like that even though he

[01:25:05] can't dunk you know to be he could do it they so turn shant and I'm just wondering you know where's gonna be for him I think he'll be a functional NBA player you know to be but I just don't see

[01:25:17] like start him or you know anything like that in his future like he could be a really good role player on a championship team so then with that being said real quick before we get to paper

[01:25:29] towel you know a couple of second round sleepers I'm not gonna spend a lot of time just for some names out there for the people you know I like jailing Tyson out of cow you know he could

[01:25:40] score he's a little reckless with the ball he's probably more jailing brown than I said Ternant Shannon was you know Adam Bona explosive big man from UCLA all the reports say that

[01:25:54] at the combine he killed the 515 sprint pitch was the best big man you know you got Ryan Dunn six foot eight out of UVA is he Bruce Bowen everybody's been on on the last couple of days

[01:26:07] I've adhered his name as a steal but is Bruce Bowen a steal I guess it just depends what team he goes to Kevin McCuller out of Kansas you know I think he's gonna be at a lead role player big

[01:26:18] ball handler off the bench the shot is it quite there yet it's been improved it but I go back to two years ago there in C. Devillay tournament game like it's Arkansas he stood out there and got

[01:26:33] on my radar from there so ever since I've been watching him and Rikai Freeman from Akron you know since Bronney didn't want to go to Akron and do the right thing for the home town you know he might be the best

[01:26:46] player to draft as far as people who can move without the ball he doesn't need the ball to be effective he went to Akron so a lot of people are probably asleep on him but I think he'll be pretty good

[01:26:57] into NBA Kishat Johnson out of Arizona you know he's an energy guy six foot seven 39 percent from three I think the only reason he's going to go into second round back to Mr. Logical's point earlier is because

[01:27:11] he's a fifth round senior I'm sorry, fifth year senior so I think people are just looking at him as he's old if he was good enough to be in the NBA he would have been in the NBA already that type of

[01:27:22] stupidity the dumbest concept ever because if you draft you draft the guy in the first round that's a developmental project it's going to take you two or three years of CF as an essential in the

[01:27:35] meantime you're going to be drafting another guy for those next two years just like I'm being the same boat when you could have just had the 24 year old guy right and then you got my guards you know

[01:27:48] Jamal Shid from Houston KJ Simpson from Colorado everybody that was watching back door in the Mark's madness timeframe you know I was all about KJ Simpson then nothing's changed and then I

[01:28:00] want the Wizards at 51 to grab Tristan Newton that leading point guard out of Yukon back in the back national championship best player on Yukon in my opinion and then you got AJ Mitchell from UC Santa

[01:28:15] Barbara 65 guard 40 percent from three he's getting some hype so those are the second rounders that I got my eye on but of course before we get out of here. Brody Brody when we go on

[01:28:30] just the logical he getting drafted and if he was six seven it'd be no probably be a no brainer but at six well listed at six one six two maybe he maybe he grows a cup more

[01:28:44] inches over the next year so before he hits 21 I think he's a I think he's be a good ABA player I think it would just be tough because I don't know if teams are prepared to handle like that

[01:28:59] kind of pressure to have LeBron James Jr. your team because if you're drafted I'm thinking that you're going to get LeBron I think that's a dumb move if you're drafted him thinking that

[01:29:10] you're going to be able to just have them sit I think that's probably tough so let's you think you can you have a spot for him to play right now I wouldn't draft them because you're going

[01:29:24] to your coach your coach you staff all your all your press conferences is going to be about him like the Tim Teeball effect he's just going to have to just kind of see answer questions about

[01:29:36] him if you don't have a spot for him where you think hey we're going to take this guy because we think we can use him somewhere because I've heard some phrases and I get it understand like

[01:29:48] the context of it like draft running keep him hostage or holding for ransom like these these they'll just have to connect with people using them like keep them on ice it's like draft the guy so you can play like LeBron I guarantee you if Brontie has scored 13 or 14

[01:30:06] points of game last year four or five rebounds a couple of assists he would probably be going to the lake or at some point but the lake is can't justify well I mean maybe they can't

[01:30:17] they draft the the higher the coach has no experience so I can see them potentially maybe draft and runny I think that's the only team that should draft him if they expect the kind of like

[01:30:28] weight it out because you have an in-house person that can develop him he's on the roster but if you if you're Charlotte or if you're Dallas or fear New Orleans and you just have like

[01:30:41] an extra second round pick and you want to take a fly around Brontie they'd be a bad idea if the only team that should really draft him or team they really want to play him and feel it

[01:30:51] they're getting the steel what a good smart you know backup point guard if he has that kind of talent in the second round or you the lakers are you like I'm going to draft them because

[01:31:04] the NASA is on a no walkie box and he's getting minutes all right so we'll come back to that that's what it be the closing question that I have so we'll get back to that for a second but so

[01:31:14] so my thoughts are I'm gonna take your statement something that you said and I'm gonna go somewhere different with it try to take it a different route so yes do not draft Brontie if you think

[01:31:26] you're getting a LaBron but you may want to draft Brontie if you think you're getting LaBron's work ethic you know if you feel that you need something in your locker room someone in your locker room

[01:31:39] that is going to push themselves always try to get better you know knowing that they're not bigger than the team and you just want that humble yet because everything that I've seen from Brontie

[01:31:52] so far is like y'all I'm every Bradley I'm this like I know that you know I'm not a superstar or whatever it so he seems to have the right mind frame especially going back

[01:32:03] to what you were saying about Zat Levine earlier so so if you want a guy that you want to take a fly around you isn't going to expect to come in and get 20 shots of game and it's okay with that

[01:32:19] and once the work hard and develop and climb up to earn his position that's why he goes by the paper towel because he didn't want to be known as LaBron James Jr so those that right there are good

[01:32:34] science to me you know that he will be successful even if it's not NBA but I think he will be successful in the NBA you know he has the right mind frame but the clothes it out that's what I was going

[01:32:45] to ask you so I know we've heard Dallas we've heard Tavronto we've heard Minnesota so what type of teens do you think could afford to bring Brontie in if the makers don't do it is there are

[01:33:00] there are two or three teams that you think like because like somebody like I mean it's easy to say somebody like okay see so I won't do that you know what I mean but is there is somebody out there

[01:33:10] that you feel like Brontie went there like not that is a perfect match per se but that it wasn't I think Phoenix okay if they if they have a second round pick I think that

[01:33:27] because you need they needed a point guard no Frank Vogels essentially fired for demand in a point guard I think Phoenix might be a good move they have superstars there so I think they'll understand like the

[01:33:41] line light and how to you know coach him through that I like Minnesota I think if Mike County has one more run in him I think that's a great that's I think that's a great tutor for Brontie

[01:33:58] not Houston not San Antonio I mean this Dallas buzz I don't know what has really come from I don't know if that's just conversation because they were in the finals Miami I don't think that relationship strong enough Cleveland I don't think that relationship with

[01:34:16] with the Brontie like the pops I don't think I don't think that's the smart move I think Philly they have a second round pick you know he can kind of play like the Maxi role

[01:34:29] like that streaky just you know tough smart humble superstar I don't think I've ever seen Maxi like taught anyone or even get a technical I think as a right mindset of just development and growth I

[01:34:40] think he's I don't know like where Maxi came from but you can see in that playoff game against the NYX where they were down do you know who came from Kentucky what you mean oh my bad

[01:34:51] pardon me yeah it's kind of like you know he just kind of came out of nowhere as far as like the way he exploded on the scene like the way you expect Tobias Harris to play in school with the check

[01:35:01] that he was getting Maxi was doing that I think Philly would probably be a good move it's probably a lot of places if you if you have a small guard in place that's a bit of a vet I think that's

[01:35:15] a good spot form if you don't have that then I would just I would just stay away entirely because you're not you're not gonna be able to avoid the questions and the speculation scrutiny and constantly being bombarded with you know just questions and reports and rumors and everything

[01:35:34] else surrounding them and it's unfortunate you know that he just wants to be a young basketball player and he's gonna have to deal with this this modern media that's obsessed with his pops I mean

[01:35:43] this is keeping it a beat right but if you if you want to keep them and and hope it works out I would say the lakers okay so I like I like Minnesota you know saying especially if Mike

[01:35:58] Conley is still on the roster because that could be a future looking to mirror maybe that's a bridge right there yeah like like you know to be if you could get them into a ship

[01:36:09] from Mike Conley then I think that'll start your MBA career off the right way wow it's I think I don't know what the relationship is between him and the way way on the physical you know whatever but

[01:36:20] I think Utah the way way being a part of all of your career still in my next team well that's what I was gonna say Utah I was gonna say Utah for the same reasons

[01:36:35] another a team that I just thought about that obviously they would have to move trade young but you know Atlanta you know I think that you know if the John say Mary becomes their full-time point guard you know you got Colby Buffkin who is their rookie from last

[01:36:56] year that you're gonna give minutes to if trades out of there you know you got AJ Griffin so Brony can play behind them and you got Quinn Snyder you know one of those old Duke you know

[01:37:07] kind of dudes you know that means that isn't overly athletic but has a mind for the game of basketball so I think that that could work and then the last team that I'm going out on a limb

[01:37:18] on I don't expect you to agree with this one I was thinking Memphis you know I like to have songs no ties don't want to take you very much you know but yeah like you know you got you know

[01:37:33] I like Taylor Jenkins their head coach you know Memphis is a was the word I'm looking for there are fringe contender that's still trying to find their way so you're not going to a team like

[01:37:47] Atlanta with a losing culture or you know a losing mentality like Memphis is building and trying to become I mean they were just two seed two years ago you know the second round picks in the

[01:38:02] well like these these two way deals where a lot of them aren't really even on the quote unquote like the act of roster is like a very weird like space to put them in like I'll say if you can just go on

[01:38:16] drafted and sign with the lakers go on to sign with the lakers or if I don't know if he's missed the cut off but you transferred a Duke I don't know how that works well though he's all like he

[01:38:28] is very fact that deadline yeah get it get a waiver if that's the case and just go play with Cooper Flag and Duke and Thome Lobbs so people could be a viable punk or but going on drafted will

[01:38:38] probably be the best but because I know Austin Reeves talked about this a lot of interview of him him and his agent we're talking about like different teams and I think he even told a couple of

[01:38:49] teams like during like the second round draft and like they were talked those agent and him and his agent like listen we're looking for this kind of deal because I guess you can kind of

[01:38:57] had that conversation in that in that moment and he didn't want the deal I think it was I forgot to tell you that he mentioned but a lot of those deals kind of locked you went and you're locked

[01:39:09] in for a while is not a lot of yeah so go on draft it go on drafted you rather go on drafted like don't draft me at 57 when people thought I was going to go 37 and then keep me on the shelf just

[01:39:21] let me let me slide all the way out and then you know let me make my own path after my own spot just like the chips fall for you if you're going to get 57 get a guy from Lithuania

[01:39:32] something like that that might be just save it if it's two or three more years anyway like don't you know don't don't box me in where you're not going to you know give it opportunity especially

[01:39:41] if you had multiple picks in the draft and now you're coming to me at 57 I'm like just get get another developmental piece I'm already on the phone with other teams right so yep so there you

[01:39:52] have it you know the draft is in two days well actually you're on the East Coast so one day for you so you know first night on Wednesday of course we'll be back on Thursday maybe we'll stick in here
