Um and yeah, really quickly.
00:00:06
For I know I like to rant a little bit that I promise.
00:00:10
That's the last thing.
00:00:11
One that probably kills me because I talk too much.
00:00:14

Have to go over to Adrian dot com slash headlines so you can have access to every single, uh, film session and more.
00:00:48
But with that being said, let's get into his speaking of, uh, YouTube.
00:00:54
We have a interview with former rider Andre Fernandez from a writer for the athletic covering the Miami Sports area.
00:01:02
He was on the show a couple months ago, and it's just not getting posted.
00:01:06
Don't look at me.
00:01:07
Is that guy? I quit, but I Yeah, go check that out.
00:01:10
Go check that.
00:01:11
It was a great interview at a bunch of time.
00:01:13
A lot of awesome content coming for you guys.
00:01:15
Yeah.
00:01:16
All right, Now let's get into it.
00:01:18
I talked to about six minutes.
00:01:20
I'm joking.
00:01:21
Maybe like three things stream started a little bit late anyway.
00:01:24
So here we go.
00:01:28
Um, free agency, it's It's been a weird we're free agency, to say the least.
00:01:33
I mean with, like, the what month and a half two months that the NBA provided for the off season in free agency, which is not enough time.
00:01:41
In my opinion, uh, really.
00:01:43
For any sports offseason, just for recovery sake, Um, especially for the younger players who really want to develop and what work on the game.
00:01:52
And, you know, physical bodies gaining muscle mass.
00:01:55
Uh, a recent picture of Andrew Wiggins actually has shown a lot of recent gains for him.
00:02:02
Um, in terms of in terms of muscle mass.
00:02:05
So the Golden State Warriors you're still going to get, and to a bounce off of that what you just said, like the heat in the Lakers just played less than a month and a half ago and preseason grand LeBron a Jimmy.
00:02:19
But they're not gonna play in the preseason.
00:02:21
Bam, They're not complaining, priestesses, but still, the preseason starts in with 10 8 days, right, so in the season starts December 22nd, you got some Christmas Day games.
00:02:33
I like the Christmas Day sleep as always, the MBA not Christmas Christmas Day schedule.
00:02:38
Out of the park, Uh, normally gets messed up because of injuries like last year.
00:02:43
Steph Clay, not there, were supposed to get Houston and going state.
00:02:46
That wasn't as good as it should have been.
00:02:48
Even going.
00:02:49
Stay still.
00:02:51
One, uh, New Orleans, I think in Denver was because it should have been dying on What's it there? There's a couple of the ones.
00:02:57
Even two years ago, when LeBron got hurt on Christmas Day against Golden State, his debut Lakers New Era LeBron on the Lakers, Golden State Just coming off of a championship.
00:03:10
Um, and he went down on Christmas Day, so yeah, sorry.
00:03:18
Having technical difficulties.
00:03:20
Yeah, MBA always knocks the Christmas Day schedule of the park, so I'm really excited.
00:03:26
Come on, Adam Silver.
00:03:27
Just talk to Dag on season on Christmas Day.
00:03:30
I want to see Opening Day Lakers like a really nice Christmas gift.
00:03:36
For some people, I mean some people the way that the NBA has a following here, and especially in in these United States in America.
00:03:45
Um, with all the transitions we're going through right now, it's gonna be really, really highly watched at least Christmas Day.
00:03:54
If that starts the season for sure, for sure, let's get to some free agency recap.
00:03:59
Let's go! All right, so I guess I'll leave it off.
00:04:05
Yeah, it's all these off.
00:04:06
So let's all put some of the earlier free agency news.
00:04:10
Chris Paul.
00:04:11
He goes to the Phoenix Suns.
00:04:13
This was a part of the Oklahoma City thunder just looking at the starting line up and trading every single starting player.
00:04:22
Uh, before you get too far.
00:04:25
If you guys want other MBA action, I did.
00:04:29
A few streams earlier this month are not really last in November.
00:04:34
A few streams in November on the NBA, uh, on these moves.
00:04:39
So if you want to hear my opinions without Shawn's voice in the background, go ahead and watch those streams.
00:04:45
But by all means, stick around as the NBA has developed a whole lot since my last one.
00:04:49
It was the last one was on.
00:04:50
The Chris Paul Stevens at Steven Adams is next Yeah, that was just basically the thunder Look at the roster and saying you, you, you you only person think it's to stay of shake Everybody else who makes over $10 million a year, right? Who makes over $10 million a year? Whoever that is, you got You got to go, um, and CP Theresa.
00:05:16
He chose Phoenix.
00:05:17
The hoop, Not just mentor Phoenix.
00:05:19
I mean, they're gonna be good.
00:05:21
Now, some people have Max Kellerman said that Devin Booker is like a young Kobe.
00:05:26
That's kind of disrespectful, in my opinion, but he is that is extremely, extremely talented.
00:05:33
This team, you got Chris Paul D book Michael Bridges camera Johnson off the bench is another three and D guy Jae Crowder.
00:05:42
Dario Stark.
00:05:43
DeAndre, Aiden This team is really, really good.
00:05:47
And I think Chris Paul adding that because Warner, we've been saying for a long time Phoenix get a point guard point out that they've been ther ching like this is like, five years. They're still now.
00:05:58
Absolutely.
00:05:59
Devin Book has been in the league that long, but they've been searching forever.
00:06:03
And now they got ah, Hall of Fame.
00:06:05
Still Super Bowl superstar caliber point guards and Chris Paul.
00:06:11
Um, Phoenix.
00:06:13
They're in a tough west.
00:06:15
You still got L.
00:06:16
A Denver? Both fellas.
00:06:18
Denver.
00:06:20
I didn't say going statement out there hurts.
00:06:22
Probably Dallas next.
00:06:23
So Phoenix is right in the mix with a middling tear, like anywhere from maybe 4 to 7 in the Western Conference for Phoenix.
00:06:32
I can I can still see the warriors.
00:06:34
Um, least making a run to the playoffs.
00:06:36
I don't know if they'll be like a top 34 seed like I projected, but assuming Andrew Wiggins develops, um keeps playing like he was at the end of the year last year with Golden State.
00:06:46
You know, step is gonna be a dog on the court.
00:06:48
They drafted James Wise when they have a lot of positives Looking up, it was just that shattering injury to Clay Thompson.
00:06:55
Um, that's that's gonna hurt them, and it's gonna be a big loss.
00:06:58
They're not gonna make a deep, deep run to the playoffs.
00:07:00
I don't think, um but I think they're still gonna be competing.
00:07:03
Game to game week to week, month, a month, and eventually be in the top eight in the West.
00:07:09
Yeah, for sure.
00:07:10
for sure.
00:07:11
Next one, Gordon Hayward.
00:07:13
I guess.
00:07:14
I guess this is the next one.
00:07:15
I probably Gordon Hayward decided.
00:07:18
Thio, go to the Charlotte Hornets, which is rather we're now, if you're if you recall correctly, you know, they did, uh, draft Lemelle Lemelle Oh, ball with the third overall pick 20.
00:07:35
20.
00:07:36
So now they have Davante Graham Lemelle a ball on Gordon Hayward way.
00:07:40
Are they competing? No.
00:07:42
No. I mean, come on.
00:07:44
Good.
00:07:45
Come on Now, Gordon Hayward isn't what he used to be.
00:07:49
We'll see how a mellow ball pans out.
00:07:50
It took Alonzo.
00:07:51
Ah, hot minute to start up.
00:07:53
And he really hasn't been nearly as productive as at least his dad said, um, when he was coming into the league and then Davante Graham, he showed signs, but he's kind of a one dimensional offensive player right now.
00:08:08
Um, one dimensional in terms off all a fence, Not much defense so that they're not competing.
00:08:14
I mean, good for you. You brought in Gordon Hayward.
00:08:18
So sorry.
00:08:25
That was kind of awkward there.
00:08:26
Um, but yeah, Gordon Hayward.
00:08:29
I mean, watch Charlotte.
00:08:32
I was sitting there the whole time, like Okay, that might be the only team that was offering him what he wanted.
00:08:39
You could go to Indiana.
00:08:40
But see, Listen, I'm not going to be mad at you for getting your money and the best example of this.
00:08:46
Carmelo Anthony, I'm not gonna be mad at you for getting your money, But if you don't win a ring, I don't feel bad for you, right? Like Melo.
00:08:54
2000 and 14, Chicago Bulls.
00:08:57
Derrick Rose came back right that year.
00:08:59
We saw Derrick.
00:09:00
Rose is still somewhat Derrick Rose.
00:09:02
Right there.
00:09:03
They This was going into the year where they lost to the Cavs in the second round.
00:09:06
Your Derrick Rose since the game winner in game 30.
00:09:09
This is that year going into that year, Chicago makes you an offer, right? He declines that he takes New York.
00:09:17
And what happens in New York is nothing.
00:09:20
Nothing.
00:09:21
They don't win anything.
00:09:22
His career goes on the decline, which causes him to get, I guess you just think black fall by the league.
00:09:27
Whatever you wanna call it, right, you go to Chicago, you have a chance of with a chance.
00:09:33
Because this is the first.
00:09:34
This is first going to think about it.
00:09:36
If you think about it, you've got LeBron in the East, right? And he's he's, you know, gonna be a force.
00:09:42
But if you team up, you know Carmelo Anthony.
00:09:45
Look how the Warriors overcame the mellow Derrick Rose Jimmy Butler, Pau Gasol that you are.
00:09:51
I think, you know, I think they got Pal Onley because Melo then signed.
00:09:55
So maybe even if you have Jimmy Butler, who's a defensive wizard? Derrick Rose, who's coming off in M V P season? You're not here.
00:10:04
He got hurt, but he's He's one of the most explosive players in the league.
00:10:07
I mean, you gotta rule named after him, for goodness sakes.
00:10:10
Um, and then you add tomorrow, Anthony whose, whose all time score and at the time, still a top 10 player. You don't take.
00:10:17
So that's why I'm that's what is apparent is, too.
00:10:19
So Gordon, go take your money.
00:10:20
I'm happy for you, but you don't want a championship.
00:10:23
I don't feel bad for you.
00:10:24
I don't because I know what you want to champion. Major choice.
00:10:29
Do you want financial security in the future for your kids and generations on or do championship? I understand that.
00:10:37
But all I'm saying is, I don't feel bad for you if you fail and don't make the playoffs like Indiana.
00:10:42
But they have won a title.
00:10:43
Likely not.
00:10:44
You're competing with Indiana Atlanta's intriguing Trae Young John Collins, Clint Capela.
00:10:50
Now you insert him in there as well.
00:10:53
They look more solid ground.
00:10:55
They did get Donald Gallinari as well.
00:10:58
Talk about a little bit, Um, but so, yeah, if you don't, you don't compete.
00:11:03
I don't feel bad for you.
00:11:04
That's basically the story of that.
00:11:07
Andi.
00:11:08
He did get $120 million with the Hornets, too.
00:11:11
So I mean, it's not like he was offered, like 15 million year.
00:11:17
And then another team, like, say, Indiana or Atlanta was offering him, like, 12 million.
00:11:22
And it was only three million per year difference.
00:11:24
He got 100 20 mil from Charlotte, and I really don't see many other teams giving Gordon.
00:11:29
Hayward has shown his injury prone recently four years in $120 million Um, per year, Um so you know, it's it's it's something that that he should be proud of, and I think he will be a good piece for Charlotte Moving forward.
00:11:46
He's just not gonna compete.
00:11:47
Uh, significant award.
00:11:50
Except for number one overall.
00:11:51
Draft pick.
00:11:52
Hum again.
00:11:54
Grabs like any paid.
00:11:56
Don't want anything.
00:11:57
Don't feel bad for you, but let's move on.
00:11:59
Uh, speaking Gallinari he went on to the Hawks three or $61.
00:12:02
5 million contract to join Trae Young Kevin here to the shooting guard.
00:12:08
Uh, John Collins and Clint Capela won't if you have anything on that right quick.
00:12:12
You know, I think it's gonna be a really good thing.
00:12:14
Gallanar shudder with the Clippers that he can score, um, at a pretty good clip.
00:12:18
They've got, um, an opening in the forward spot.
00:12:21
John Collins is coming back.
00:12:23
Trey Young obviously is a stud.
00:12:24
Clint Capela shown like he could be a really good guy.
00:12:27
The only reason he was traded because the Rockets wanted to go small ball and it's it's it's looking good.
00:12:34
The Hawks were looking to compete in the East next year.
00:12:37
I don't think they're gonna win a title or anything, but they'll be good for years to come.
00:12:41
Yeah, one of things.
00:12:43
I thought the Hawks kind of me.
00:12:44
It was a second scorer that could create for himself John Constant good.
00:12:48
Like yeah, and I think Danela.
00:12:54
And really, he's not.
00:12:55
He's not a first option, a really good team, but he could create for himself be a second or third option for 14.
00:13:02
And I think he helped Ah, Lot 17 to 22.
00:13:07
Yeah, for sure.
00:13:08
Next up, the Philadelphia 76 years they went out and traded for Steph Curry and Danny Green.
00:13:15
And they signed Dwight Howard told one year vet minimum deal.
00:13:19
I'm gonna start on this one really quickly, Darryl. Morning.
00:13:24
Thank you.
00:13:26
I'm not sick so fast.
00:13:27
But, my God, it's just painful to watch.
00:13:30
I mean, is this these? They have so much talent in their two superstars or star players, and they just consistently fail and fail.
00:13:38
Then they get Doc Rivers, who is a bona fide head coach. Daryl Morey.
00:13:41
He's not Darren, always not even GM.
00:13:42
He's like the assistant GM.
00:13:44
He's like he's more like the adviser.
00:13:48
Yeah, he's in the inner circle.
00:13:52
And then with all these trades, with all the shooters that they're getting Dwight Howard Thio, you know, take some of the pressure off of Joel and be who's gotten hurt banged up the last few years.
00:14:02
I think it's terrific for them and, you know, the six years where a lot of people's favorites I think they were my favorite going into last season, um, to represent the East in the NBA Finals and they miserably fell short of that.
00:14:15
And I think there they're building up again.
00:14:18
I wouldn't take them to be the favorite, but yeah, man, man, Oh, man, Oh, man, I don't think people understand how monumental this is because there's like in basketball in general, right? When you have this one, if you have a guy that can really shoot but could just drive down right? But you don't have shooters to kick out to right? Which is why, like LeBron last year with no shooters, really, you could just collapse the lane and force, which makes it eat harder for LeBron or prevent Simmons in the Sixers case, right? You give him shooters.
00:14:56
The lane start to open up through on the bead, can work down the post a little bit more because now they can't double.
00:15:03
So it dwells on the right block.
00:15:05
They can't the guys in the corner.
00:15:07
He can't come over and help.
00:15:08
Right? Just makes it easier just facing on the floor for the six.
00:15:12
I don't think people understand that.
00:15:13
It's like it's like, if you have, did you have? Ah, quarterbacks like Cam Newton, who's a running quarterback.
00:15:20
You've got to surround him with these elite weapons or in the Patriots case, you'll see him throw for 98 yards and two picks yet somehow wouldn't kill.
00:15:30
Man.
00:15:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:34
Um, next up my Lakers were kind of busy this off season.
00:15:39
So first off in the move, that kind of shocked me mantra as Harold signed with the Lakers on two year, $19 million deals.
00:15:48
E So? So the Clippers Air favored right going into it.
00:15:58
They have a better roster.
00:15:59
They have a better team.
00:16:00
So on so forth, Lakers go on to win the championship.
00:16:04
The Clippers don't even make it to the conference finals.
00:16:07
They get beat by Jamal Murray Essentially and Nicole Yokich who you were throwing a little bit of shade to.
00:16:12
Um hey, it was more so.
00:16:15
It was more so in the cola.
00:16:16
Yokich It wasn't even shade Okay anyways, and then then they come in the offseason.
00:16:24
Doc Rivers is gone.
00:16:25
You hear that? You know, co I and Paul George were the only two guys to have, you know, personal security and personal trainers on the team, and they got to choose whenever they wanted to play.
00:16:35
So, essentially, they were the coaches.
00:16:36
Doc Rivers, one even coach, Um and and and mantra is Harold one of their better players who contributes on the offensive glass so well that he's probably top offensive center, um, in the league, just pure offense.
00:16:51
And then he goes to the Lakers to be rotational peace and and fill in.
00:16:54
I think that's awesome.
00:16:55
The Lakers just said, Hey, come, come over here. My mantra.
00:17:00
Come over here, We'll show you how to win over here.
00:17:05
That's the huge slap in the face of the Clippers.
00:17:08
Like just.
00:17:11
It just just slapped in the face over.
00:17:14
We also got Dennis Schroder.
00:17:16
Anthony Davis resigned on a five year, $190 million contract.
00:17:20
They hear something kind of surprised me.
00:17:22
The long term commitment.
00:17:24
We don't typically see superstars go to a team by trade, right? Resign long term.
00:17:33
Right now, there's like go to a team of free agency and stay long term superstars like Katie Kyrie.
00:17:40
Um, Katie was there for what, Three years? No, like the contract.
00:17:46
The contract Admitting long time, Not not like how long they were there.
00:17:49
Like LeBron, it was like constant two plus ones.
00:17:52
Or after the two years, it was the one year extension or a one and one and basically did the same thing and going state Kyrie Els Four years.
00:18:02
But, I mean, that was kind of expected, or you wanna match up with Katie.
00:18:06
Go.
00:18:07
This is five years.
00:18:08
80 is gonna be l A to at least he's 32.
00:18:10
My Lakers are gonna get at least two.
00:18:14
I think we're gonna get in this year, Spoiler.
00:18:16
We're gonna get one this year.
00:18:17
Um, and we're gonna get one without LeBron with a d. That's the best player.
00:18:22
We're gonna get 11 more, LeBron.
00:18:24
Do you Do you think this five year contract we're hearing some whispers with Yannis? I don't think that would be a great matchup, but you don't think Anthony Davis once LeBron's out of the league? Um, no, There's gonna be eighties team.
00:18:39
LeBron is gone.
00:18:40
It's gonna be eighties team.
00:18:42
And actually, I think we saw we saw LeBron slowly handed him the keys.
00:18:46
Like if the Lakers are a car, right, Lebron's get slowly giving him the keys that Hey, you could drive a 20 MPH.
00:18:54
Okay, This year is gonna be 30 MPH.
00:18:58
Right after this year, the keys are gonna be fully and Anthony Davis hands if you get my metaphor, metaphor, ****ogy, whatever it is, um, And after this year, 80 is gonna be driving 50 MPH plus down the highway, going to Venice Beach or whatever in l. A.
00:19:17
This is gonna be, uh, eighties team after this year for certain, um, let's move on to the Washington Wizards.
00:19:25
Oh, my God.
00:19:26
That's a couple of deals.
00:19:27
I don't even know this.
00:19:28
So, first over, over paid alert.
00:19:31
Overpaid alert.
00:19:32
Davis were Tan's sharpshooter for the Wizards.
00:19:36
Agreed to a five year 80 million.
00:19:38
Actually doesn't sound bad more.
00:19:39
I say it five years, $80 million contract.
00:19:43
Teoh right through to return to the Washington Wizards to the solid player.
00:19:48
But my God, that's a lot of money.
00:19:51
Um, he averaged 15 points per game and shot 42% from three.
00:19:55
Um, in the Brooklyn Nets.
00:19:57
They just put a dent into the cat space. Even Mawr.
00:20:01
Joe Harris agreed to a four year, $75 million contract.
00:20:07
Took comeback for the Nets.
00:20:08
Um, man, oh, man, it is important, but dang dang right.
00:20:14
Also also real quick.
00:20:16
So Anthony Davis has a five year deal, right? Jimmy Butler has two more seasons on his Miami Heat contract.
00:20:25
About this.
00:20:26
Suggest that Jimmy Butler comes to L.
00:20:27
A. And then he's an unrestricted free agent.
00:20:29
LeBron has two more seasons He signed in two years, suggesting that No, that's not so.
00:20:34
You think you don't think Jimmy Butler is gonna come here? I think that'll be a nice pairing.
00:20:38
They would, But that's not gonna happen.
00:20:40
I mean, I'm not even saying I don't want to see Jimmy and a d would be the best defense and see me to leave, But, um, but yeah, it's not gonna happen.
00:20:50
Jimmy's, Jimmy's Miami he like for like, he's gonna retire of Heat.
00:20:56
He's retired.
00:20:57
He's gonna retire.
00:20:59
Heat, uh, markets.
00:21:00
Mora Sr has had agreed to a four year, $64 million deal to remain with the Clippers and Christian would forward from the tri Pistons.
00:21:09
He signs a three year, $41 million deal with the Houston Rockets.
00:21:13
One thing on the Clippers, though with I remember this mantra as Harold going back to him, he said after he signed with the Lakers, they felt like they didn't want me.
00:21:22
And we see that a lot.
00:21:23
Like JJ Red****.
00:21:24
Go listen to the old man and three podcast.
00:21:26
Uh, this is not an endor*****t.
00:21:28
JJ Red**** endorse us.
00:21:30
Um, but he said, like he it seemed like he wanted to go back toe Philly.
00:21:36
But, like he said when he was talking on his podcast like Jimmy, Jimmy Butler, ironically right? Yeah, the question was, he asked, Jimmy, when did you know you were gone, right? I forget his.
00:21:46
I forget Jimmy's response.
00:21:48
I don't want to quote Jimmy, but basically what JJ said was like I was gone after the conversations like it sounds like, uh, from what Billy was saying that they only wanted me back.
00:22:00
Worst case scenario.
00:22:02
Basically, I was the It's a fallback plan.
00:22:05
It's similar to the Clippers thing.
00:22:07
I mean, going back to the Clippers, Obviously.
00:22:11
I mean, Paul, George and quiet Leonard like royalty there.
00:22:13
Um and Harold just said, You know what? I'm done with this. I want to be treated.
00:22:18
There's the There's a tweet from bleacher report.
00:22:21
Um I mean, just look at that.
00:22:24
I mean, nobody wants to play on a team where you can pick and choose when you play.
00:22:28
And when you are basically separated by a security staff in the training staff that these guys have no idea who they are, what they're doing there and you know it Z not good for the Clippers.
00:22:43
I mean, it's like, well, locker room cancer.
00:22:45
Um, I'm not going as far to say that Hawaiian, Paul, George or locker room cancers, but I'm not saying they're not either.
00:22:58
Yeah, my bad again.
00:23:00
Technical difficulties.
00:23:01
I'm not myself today.
00:23:03
But Ellis move on.
00:23:04
Wesley Matthews, another guy.
00:23:06
My Lakers got one year, $3.
00:23:07
6 million deal.
00:23:08
I think people are underrating and like throwing that under the rug or whatever.
00:23:14
Mm.
00:23:15
Shooting guard.
00:23:17
Uhh! No more dainty green.
00:23:20
No more Rondo like disrespect.
00:23:23
We got KCP still.
00:23:25
Yeah.
00:23:26
Yeah. I was thinking he would be.
00:23:28
I mean, I guess he wouldn't play the point point, but, Oh, Lord, um, through holiday is has been traded.
00:23:37
Thio, uh, Milwaukee Bucks.
00:23:39
You guys kind already got my reaction to that.
00:23:41
So, I mean, unless Warner has anything to add, can move on.
00:23:45
No, the by Donovan's lost, though, was a big loss.
00:23:50
I'm not being able to work that out.
00:23:54
Yeah, every Bradley said the Heat one.
00:23:56
Or what are your thoughts on that? I think that's a viable defense.
00:24:01
So I mean, they basically got another guy who was a defense and shooting guy.
00:24:05
Um, Avery Bradley, um, is just gonna make the heat even more formidable defensively, even more formidable from beyond the arc.
00:24:14
And they're looking to reap to Eli's make another run at the at the finals.
00:24:21
Yep, I mentioned Jeff Jae Crowder earlier, signed with sons on a three year, $30 million team.
00:24:27
This will be Crowder six stop his 16 just to start at the 2016 17 season.
00:24:33
So that'll be Katie's first year Golden State, the year where the season didn't even matter.
00:24:39
The only team that shot being Golden State with the Cavs.
00:24:42
Um, yeah, they really didn't have a shop well in in Spurs show they had a chance to, But that was anybody. Zaza Pachulia.
00:24:51
Yeah, Yeah.
00:24:53
Uh, Let's see.
00:24:55
Radio Rondo agreed to a two year, $15 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks.
00:24:59
I really like that deal for them.
00:25:01
I really, really, really, really, really like that deal for Atlanta.
00:25:07
Um, trusted.
00:25:09
Thompson is joining the Celtics $19 million for two seasons.
00:25:14
This shows that LeBron gonna pay.
00:25:18
Uh, hilarious.
00:25:19
Um, Speaking of KCP, we brought him back.
00:25:22
Three year, $40 million deal.
00:25:24
So Okay, the nucleus.
00:25:26
I'm what you would call its nucleus.
00:25:27
Katy, not Katie.
00:25:29
LeBron a d uh, and KCP all return.
00:25:34
Probably three best players from our NBA Finals.
00:25:37
Siri's against them.
00:25:38
Um, bigger wants Serge Ibaka.
00:25:42
Signs for the Clippers to your $19 million deal.
00:25:46
Diving Mental.
00:25:47
This was the first off, I think, to rookie Max.
00:25:50
Extension deals.
00:25:51
Do***entary.
00:25:52
Agreed to a five year, $195 million rookie, uh, designated rookie Max extension.
00:25:59
I believe Jason Tatum also signed that.
00:26:03
Very same.
00:26:04
Yeah, he signed, actually is might be a little different.
00:26:08
Um, but basically, Warner uhh We talked about this with Ben Simmons last year.
00:26:14
Um, basically, the context of the deal is 195 is the most you can make. Uhh.
00:26:24
And that's if you are.
00:26:29
You have to make, like, your all NBA team all MBA third, basically, Yeah, pretty much like, I think it's 165 based or whatever.
00:26:41
So, you know, I'll explain it.
00:26:44
Hold on.
00:26:45
Actually, let's see if I found something good here.
00:26:49
Yeah, I mean, I know.
00:26:51
I just wanna make sure I have my details.
00:26:53
Right.
00:26:54
So I'm a research that in the next week, when I come back on, I'll explain more detail.
00:26:59
All right, now, right.
00:27:00
Here we go.
00:27:01
Tatum were received over Jason. 10.
00:27:03
Contract goes to Stanford.
00:27:05
Elemental.
00:27:06
They will receive the 30% max that will boost the contract values value to 195 mil on Lee if he makes 1st, 2nd or third all be all n b a team.
00:27:17
Next.
00:27:18
Cesar, this upcoming season.
00:27:19
Yeah, uh, and Tatum also has a player option, including his.
00:27:26
So And I believe if you don't make an all NBA team, I think it may be 1 65 I think maybe I don't know.
00:27:35
Um, with 30% increase, you make one of those teams.
00:27:38
Uh, let's keep going out.
00:27:40
Maybe even our 15 minutes here, Let's let's go.
00:27:43
Let's go to some rockets news e think that's the big thing? Yeah, I know you're trying to say that for last, but now I was gonna say that Velasco's that wants that.
00:27:52
We're getting one more thing before we hop off.
00:27:55
Um, so I really quickly November 23rd or is this 27? You wanted to Washington Way.
00:28:00
The general manager, Tommy Sheppard, says there's no plans.
00:28:03
The trade jump ball general had not requested a deal.
00:28:08
Fast forward.
00:28:10
December 2nd, 2 December second and the news broke.
00:28:15
7 56 PM Eastern Standard Time.
00:28:19
Yes, every 56 Eastern Standard time John Wall has been traded that he's the Rockets or Russell Westbrook.
00:28:26
Uh, and the Rockets also get a first round pick.
00:28:30
Warner surprised about that added first round pick.
00:28:33
I was surprised about that, Warner, Who would you say is the winner of this trade? Who won the deal? I think I think the Rockets said if John Wall comes back healthy, especially getting that first round pick.
00:28:46
If he comes back healthy, I think him and harden together gonna be nice.
00:28:49
Now, I think Bill and Westbrook are gonna be a nice do it, but I have more.
00:28:53
I think at this point in time, John Walls and more valuable player in terms of playoff success than Russell Westbrook is, um And, you know, I just feel bad for Bradley Beal.
00:29:07
Oh, man.
00:29:08
But I think I think that the trade's gonna help both the teams a whole lot.
00:29:11
And it just shows that you can always believe n b A executives or sports executive executives when they say something because that can always change.
00:29:20
Um, so, yeah, John Wall is now part of the Houston Rockets.
00:29:24
Now, here's the question.
00:29:25
Are they going to still run that small ball kind of look because they don't necessarily need to use on law as that slasher because he has more of a shot than Harden.
00:29:32
And I think that's gonna be interesting.
00:29:34
More was shot than harder than you need.
00:29:36
Westbrook.
00:29:37
Yeah.
00:29:38
Yeah. Westbrook, my bad Looks like hard.
00:29:40
Wait. A pause.
00:29:41
Technical foul? Um, yeah.
00:29:44
New system.
00:29:45
They won't do that. Um, in terms of fit.
00:29:48
I like the Bradley Beal Russell Westbrook pairing better than John Wall.
00:29:54
Uh, James Harden parent, because John Wall he's a playmaker.
00:30:00
He creates for others.
00:30:02
He's that slasher, really nifty on the right word, but at the rim.
00:30:07
Right, Um, and for the Wizards, you know Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal.
00:30:12
Remember last year with Omar D o e another over the Wizard.
00:30:19
So I mean, it worked out in the end.
00:30:21
Just the wrong team.
00:30:22
Um, but yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:30:24
You know, that kind of eerily reminds me of without the defense.
00:30:29
Paul George Russell Westbrook.
00:30:31
You have a dynamic scorer.
00:30:35
Uh, and Bradley Bradley was probably a little bit more of a better score.
00:30:39
Dan and Paul George, right? Not good defender.
00:30:43
Right. Russell Westbrook.
00:30:45
You know, do it all except shoot on offense, play with extreme intensity.
00:30:51
You got David Burton.
00:30:52
You have some other shooters on that roster as well, but John Law comes back and he's healthy.
00:30:57
He's a top five point guard in the league, depending on how you feel where you put look like if Lucas a point guard of yards to me, it's like a 5.
00:31:04
0.
00:31:05
0.4 so I don't put LeBron and point guard.
00:31:07
I'll put Luca and point guard unnecessarily.
00:31:10
E think you can put Luca and point guard.
00:31:13
I think he plays more point guard.
00:31:14
LeBron has shown throughout his career that he's been a forward like strictly forward at times.
00:31:19
He's just really, really good with the ball.
00:31:21
I think you can also argue the same thing for you.
00:31:24
Honest to, um, he's got nice ball. Move on.
00:31:27
This is a point forward.
00:31:28
Yeah, just for in the point.
00:31:30
He's a point guard, a small horse body, Really powerful words satisfying.
00:31:33
But, um um yeah, but crab Yeah, John Wall.
00:31:40
When healthy, he's a top five point guard, arguably in the MBA.
00:31:45
I'm a little worried about I'm questioning a bit, but he comes back healthy.
00:31:49
You get a first round pick added to that as well.
00:31:51
I like this move for both sides, really in in the first round.
00:31:55
Pick, I think, gives him flexibility and maybe trade for a guy like a center, if they want to go that direction, or they could just use their own, use the first round pick, um, in this upcoming draft and say, Hey, you know this year we'll see how it goes.
00:32:08
You will see how the parent goes.
00:32:09
We'll see what we need to add.
00:32:10
We'll see how far we can make it.
00:32:12
And then we'll get a really, really good player for a position of need in the draft.
00:32:18
So, yeah, I think it was a really good deal for both of them.
00:32:22
Um, no.
00:32:23
Nobody got fleeced in this in this trade.
00:32:32
Gosh, what was my computer? Hate me today.
00:32:34
All right.
00:32:35
I think that's all the bigger deals in, you know, trades or whatever.
00:32:40
Anyway, Steven Adams, along with the whole Lakers roster I mean, thunder roster, um, has were traded, if you do not recall, um, Dennis Schroder obviously went to my Lakers.
00:32:55
He's now a Laker.
00:32:56
Um, you guys fit there.
00:32:59
I think that's all the bigger trades.
00:33:03
Let's end the show on this.
00:33:05
We're gonna go top four teams in each conference corner with conference.
00:33:11
You want to start off with this kind of our like free agency.
00:33:15
Recap slash NBA preview.
00:33:17
Yeah, I think I think the East is gonna be slightly easier.
00:33:20
So let's start with that and save it for the West.
00:33:22
I think I think the West has more, more teams that you could possible.
00:33:26
Are we doing this in order? We just doing top four.
00:33:29
You could do in order or just top four.
00:33:31
I think we should do it in order.
00:33:32
Um, projecting like the end of the season.
00:33:35
Regular season standings.
00:33:37
Essentially.
00:33:38
All right, um, my number four team in the east is going to be I know what I know.
00:33:52
What teams I'm putting in there.
00:33:54
I just the order, man.
00:33:56
The order something else.
00:33:57
Honestly, I think the number four team is going to be 70 Sixers just because of continuity.
00:34:03
They don't have it, and I think they'll be the four seat.
00:34:07
Um, I think the three seed we're gonna see is the, um I think the heat are gonna be the three seed.
00:34:15
I think we're going to see the Celtics as the two seed and the bucks take the one seed yet again.
00:34:23
Okay, I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:34:25
I completely forgot about the heat.
00:34:27
Um, game on me.
00:34:30
They just They just went to the plate and they went to the ****.
00:34:32
Uh Okay.
00:34:35
Crap that screws on my list.
00:34:38
Dang it all right.
00:34:39
Uh, I'm a cheat.
00:34:42
I'm gonna.
00:34:43
55 Billy or Miami.
00:34:47
Three.
00:34:49
Brooklyn to Boston, one.
00:34:52
Milwaukee, Brooklyn.
00:34:55
I was thinking that e think they'll get five seen because I think they'll be a top 14.
00:35:01
Alright.
00:35:02
Every guy.
00:35:03
You think Katie's only barely a top 20 player? I forgot that.
00:35:06
You, um Oh, my God.
00:35:09
I just want to kill.
00:35:12
Just watch r a l x.
00:35:16
Oh, my boy, I can't wait.
00:35:20
I'm even.
00:35:21
I'm not having the biggest Katie guy.
00:35:23
I just hope Katie goes out and it just dropped 30.
00:35:30
You're You're a hater, you know that? You are such a hater.
00:35:33
I just I really hope Katie averages 30 this year.
00:35:38
Is that about it's about? It's about Katie.
00:35:42
It's the way he does it.
00:35:44
He he's one of There is a reason why I call him the most the best scorer ever, right? Because, I mean, it's probably him and Kobe The thing that sets him apart from Kobe.
00:35:57
He's efficient.
00:35:58
He'll get 40.
00:35:59
He could drop 40 a game if he wants to and get 50% from the field while doing get looking at that BB season.
00:36:07
K D is efficient when dropping 30 and 40.
00:36:10
So does it Look at the way he doesn't know Doesn't matter because, you know, I mean, I mean the variety of shots that he takes and makes meaning Move on.
00:36:20
You wanna go to the West now you're a hater.
00:36:24
But I think Boston will have some of that continuity.
00:36:27
You know, Kyron's and Katie and stuff.
00:36:29
They learn how to play together.
00:36:30
They're still the most talent.
00:36:32
They're the most talented team in the East, though, right? But the most talented team in the East And that will be enough.
00:36:38
They're not the Clippers, though.
00:36:39
The most talented team in the East.
00:36:41
That will be enough to get them the third.
00:36:43
Or maybe even 1/4 seeded Miami continues to excel.
00:36:47
Um, go on to the West Warner.
00:36:49
Yeah, I think my number four seed is is going to be the clippers.
00:36:55
Um, they've lost.
00:36:57
They've lost talent, but I think they'll still be able to mainly careful.
00:37:01
And then they kind of replacing the search.
00:37:03
Ibaka, Yes, but they we talked about them being like having a bunch of one sided players.
00:37:10
They still really have those one side of players.
00:37:12
They just flip the center from an offensive center to mainly defensive um, center.
00:37:19
Um, I think I think we're gonna see the Clippers is the four seed.
00:37:22
Um, I think I think the three seed that we're gonna see this year went with Clay's injury.
00:37:30
This makes it a lot tougher.
00:37:33
Um, but I think my three seed, unless I'm forgetting someone, is you know what scraps that I think we're gonna see.
00:37:51
I'm calling right here.
00:37:52
Four seed, the sun's three seed, the Clippers to see the Nuggets and the one seed Lakers.
00:37:59
Wow.
00:38:00
Okay, I'm gonna have speed through mine because I feel like I'm missing somebody.
00:38:03
But that's what I'm gonna go with. Yeah.
00:38:05
Or Dallas, Dallas and Christoph.
00:38:07
Okay, that's that's her.
00:38:11
Dallas is poor.
00:38:15
Three is gonna be, um, Denver to l.
00:38:20
A one.
00:38:22
Lakers.
00:38:23
Um, now we have about four minutes or less than four minutes.
00:38:26
Let's like this.
00:38:28
We just something like this last year.
00:38:29
But players is doing this.
00:38:30
You with teams warning.
00:38:33
Who is your most Who do you predict is going to keep keep is going to disappoint the most.
00:38:48
We're just talking regular season the nets because I think they're going to get the five seed.
00:38:54
You're muted today.
00:39:06
No explanation of you didn't hear me say that, are you? Most disappointing team.
00:39:14
I want to know I was elegant.
00:39:16
I don't e don't really know.
00:39:19
You know, like the expect.
00:39:20
It's not even because I think that before I'm bad, the expectations Ojai.
00:39:26
Right? And it's not e uh, You lost your hot day.
00:39:33
Expectations will be so, E lonzo ball E o um, prising team here.
00:39:47
I think the most surprising team is gonna be the sons.
00:39:50
Um, just because I have them being the fourth seed, I think they're gonna be surprising in a good way.
00:39:57
I think you know, I don't know why you're like I actually have no idea why you're looking at me like that, but I think they'll be the most surprising team.
00:40:04
I think they're going to be competitive, but I think they're gonna go into at least into the second round of the playoffs.
00:40:11
Oh, my God.
00:40:12
I was about to have a heart attack.
00:40:13
If you said some ridiculous, I was like, Don't Don't you dare State conference finals.
00:40:16
Don't you dare say they have a shot to make conference finals.
00:40:19
I think they got a shot.
00:40:20
I don't think it's a likely shot.
00:40:21
No, no, no.
00:40:24
I would take Golden State in a seven game series over Phoenix.
00:40:27
Really? Yes.
00:40:30
Okay.
00:40:31
Okay.
00:40:32
I thought it could be argument there, but we have two minutes left, so we'll save that for another time.
00:40:35
Most surprising team for me. I like Atlanta.
00:40:38
Ah, lot If they could stay healthy.
00:40:41
John Collins gonna do with nothing stupid this year, right? Thio him and DeAndre 18.
00:40:47
Actually, same thing happened.
00:40:48
Will, full or two.
00:40:49
They were given substances from trusted, trusted people that they really shouldn't have trusted and did not know knowingly.
00:40:58
Take the steroids. BS.
00:41:02
Um, Atlanta is mine.
00:41:04
Trae Young. Like I mentioned earlier.
00:41:06
Superstar in the making.
00:41:07
All right, so we're gonna wrap it up with this final question.
00:41:10
Wonder who's gonna be the M V p M v p.
00:41:13
And what's your final Siri's pick? Well, the M v p is obviously gonna be honest, because he is, I guess the consensus M v p.
00:41:20
Now, because nobody likes LeBron and kgs coming off the Achilles and maybe Steph, I don't know.
00:41:25
The m v P.
00:41:26
Vote really doesn't even matter anymore.
00:41:28
Um, but the finals prediction.
00:41:31
I think we're going to see the Lakers being the finals, and I think we're gonna see the Celtics edge out the Nets in the conference finals.
00:41:39
Okay, um, for me, N v p. I'm gonna go.
00:41:42
Luca Luca's gonna get it this year.
00:41:44
I think, um, Yannis is a fine pick.
00:41:47
It's a safe pick, but voted fatigue while he while he's gonna get a bunch of the most vote fatigue, it's still a real thing.
00:41:55
Especially if you went back to back with his staff looking LeBron.
00:41:58
More recent examples of back to back M V P winners, voter fatigue, Israel.
00:42:03
Um, well, I'm gonna go with Luca and be honest, Did just win it like a year and then separated year.
00:42:12
It was what, Yannis hardened.
00:42:13
Honest, right? No, it was Harding.
00:42:15
Honestly Honest back.
00:42:17
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:19
Voter fatigue.
00:42:20
Israel, Especially with back to back times.
00:42:22
Lucas, a band favorite.
00:42:24
He's gonna win it my finals pick to wrap up the show.
00:42:27
The Lakers will make it.
00:42:30
I think Brooklyn is gonna make it.
00:42:32
I think Katie is right.
00:42:34
I mean, like something just with Brooklyn doesn't feel, and it's not KD coming off the injury if something doesn't feel quite its's not.
00:42:41
Yes, I promise you, it's not something feels won't admit it.
00:42:45
Is Katie coming off the injury? They got a lot of fun doing this episode.
00:42:49
It was this episode, the most authentic place to sports, Warner says.
00:42:53
Warner says some very questionable things here.
00:42:56
So when it happens in the season, I could call him out like it did with Jimmy Butler.
00:43:00
The most overrated move with the all season her that guy to my left, my life that is the most did so ridiculous take effort that, honestly, that that one hurts because I said that I was really confident, and then you like, nailed the Al Horford and the Bogdan Mike Conley and I was Saudi.
00:43:17
I nailed it.
00:43:19
Horford and Kali is overrated, and Bogdanovich from the crap the jazz underrated.
00:43:26
I think somebody else that I only do one.
00:43:28
I think you only didn't want underrated, but I don't think I watch that, but they were watching the most authentic places for a lot of fun, I'm sure, Warner says of the ridiculous.
00:43:37
So maybe it's gonna be me this year.
00:43:39
Hey, I just got a weird feeling about the Nets as a team and your final thoughts.
00:43:45
You know, C p my guy CPS The guy outside of LeBron.
00:43:48
He got me into basketball.
00:43:49
But I think you're a little too high on Phoenix again. Anyway.
00:43:53
Think of our sports unless you most authentic place of sports.

00:00:48
But with that being said, let's get into his speaking of, uh, YouTube.
00:00:54
We have a interview with former rider Andre Fernandez from a writer for the athletic covering the Miami Sports area.
00:01:02
He was on the show a couple months ago, and it's just not getting posted.
00:01:06
Don't look at me.
00:01:07
Is that guy? I quit, but I Yeah, go check that out.
00:01:10
Go check that.
00:01:11
It was a great interview at a bunch of time.
00:01:13
A lot of awesome content coming for you guys.
00:01:15
Yeah.
00:01:16
All right, Now let's get into it.
00:01:18
I talked to about six minutes.
00:01:20
I'm joking.
00:01:21
Maybe like three things stream started a little bit late anyway.
00:01:24
So here we go.
00:01:28
Um, free agency, it's It's been a weird we're free agency, to say the least.
00:01:33
I mean with, like, the what month and a half two months that the NBA provided for the off season in free agency, which is not enough time.
00:01:41
In my opinion, uh, really.
00:01:43
For any sports offseason, just for recovery sake, Um, especially for the younger players who really want to develop and what work on the game.
00:01:52
And, you know, physical bodies gaining muscle mass.
00:01:55
Uh, a recent picture of Andrew Wiggins actually has shown a lot of recent gains for him.
00:02:02
Um, in terms of in terms of muscle mass.
00:02:05
So the Golden State Warriors you're still going to get, and to a bounce off of that what you just said, like the heat in the Lakers just played less than a month and a half ago and preseason grand LeBron a Jimmy.
00:02:19
But they're not gonna play in the preseason.
00:02:21
Bam, They're not complaining, priestesses, but still, the preseason starts in with 10 8 days, right, so in the season starts December 22nd, you got some Christmas Day games.
00:02:33
I like the Christmas Day sleep as always, the MBA not Christmas Christmas Day schedule.
00:02:38
Out of the park, Uh, normally gets messed up because of injuries like last year.
00:02:43
Steph Clay, not there, were supposed to get Houston and going state.
00:02:46
That wasn't as good as it should have been.
00:02:48
Even going.
00:02:49
Stay still.
00:02:51
One, uh, New Orleans, I think in Denver was because it should have been dying on What's it there? There's a couple of the ones.
00:02:57
Even two years ago, when LeBron got hurt on Christmas Day against Golden State, his debut Lakers New Era LeBron on the Lakers, Golden State Just coming off of a championship.
00:03:10
Um, and he went down on Christmas Day, so yeah, sorry.
00:03:18
Having technical difficulties.
00:03:20
Yeah, MBA always knocks the Christmas Day schedule of the park, so I'm really excited.
00:03:26
Come on, Adam Silver.
00:03:27
Just talk to Dag on season on Christmas Day.
00:03:30
I want to see Opening Day Lakers like a really nice Christmas gift.
00:03:36
For some people, I mean some people the way that the NBA has a following here, and especially in in these United States in America.
00:03:45
Um, with all the transitions we're going through right now, it's gonna be really, really highly watched at least Christmas Day.
00:03:54
If that starts the season for sure, for sure, let's get to some free agency recap.
00:03:59
Let's go! All right, so I guess I'll leave it off.
00:04:05
Yeah, it's all these off.
00:04:06
So let's all put some of the earlier free agency news.
00:04:10
Chris Paul.
00:04:11
He goes to the Phoenix Suns.
00:04:13
This was a part of the Oklahoma City thunder just looking at the starting line up and trading every single starting player.
00:04:22
Uh, before you get too far.
00:04:25
If you guys want other MBA action, I did.
00:04:29
A few streams earlier this month are not really last in November.
00:04:34
A few streams in November on the NBA, uh, on these moves.
00:04:39
So if you want to hear my opinions without Shawn's voice in the background, go ahead and watch those streams.
00:04:45
But by all means, stick around as the NBA has developed a whole lot since my last one.
00:04:49
It was the last one was on.
00:04:50
The Chris Paul Stevens at Steven Adams is next Yeah, that was just basically the thunder Look at the roster and saying you, you, you you only person think it's to stay of shake Everybody else who makes over $10 million a year, right? Who makes over $10 million a year? Whoever that is, you got You got to go, um, and CP Theresa.
00:05:16
He chose Phoenix.
00:05:17
The hoop, Not just mentor Phoenix.
00:05:19
I mean, they're gonna be good.
00:05:21
Now, some people have Max Kellerman said that Devin Booker is like a young Kobe.
00:05:26
That's kind of disrespectful, in my opinion, but he is that is extremely, extremely talented.
00:05:33
This team, you got Chris Paul D book Michael Bridges camera Johnson off the bench is another three and D guy Jae Crowder.
00:05:42
Dario Stark.
00:05:43
DeAndre, Aiden This team is really, really good.
00:05:47
And I think Chris Paul adding that because Warner, we've been saying for a long time Phoenix get a point guard point out that they've been ther ching like this is like, five years. They're still now.
00:05:58
Absolutely.
00:05:59
Devin Book has been in the league that long, but they've been searching forever.
00:06:03
And now they got ah, Hall of Fame.
00:06:05
Still Super Bowl superstar caliber point guards and Chris Paul.
00:06:11
Um, Phoenix.
00:06:13
They're in a tough west.
00:06:15
You still got L.
00:06:16
A Denver? Both fellas.
00:06:18
Denver.
00:06:20
I didn't say going statement out there hurts.
00:06:22
Probably Dallas next.
00:06:23
So Phoenix is right in the mix with a middling tear, like anywhere from maybe 4 to 7 in the Western Conference for Phoenix.
00:06:32
I can I can still see the warriors.
00:06:34
Um, least making a run to the playoffs.
00:06:36
I don't know if they'll be like a top 34 seed like I projected, but assuming Andrew Wiggins develops, um keeps playing like he was at the end of the year last year with Golden State.
00:06:46
You know, step is gonna be a dog on the court.
00:06:48
They drafted James Wise when they have a lot of positives Looking up, it was just that shattering injury to Clay Thompson.
00:06:55
Um, that's that's gonna hurt them, and it's gonna be a big loss.
00:06:58
They're not gonna make a deep, deep run to the playoffs.
00:07:00
I don't think, um but I think they're still gonna be competing.
00:07:03
Game to game week to week, month, a month, and eventually be in the top eight in the West.
00:07:09
Yeah, for sure.
00:07:10
for sure.
00:07:11
Next one, Gordon Hayward.
00:07:13
I guess.
00:07:14
I guess this is the next one.
00:07:15
I probably Gordon Hayward decided.
00:07:18
Thio, go to the Charlotte Hornets, which is rather we're now, if you're if you recall correctly, you know, they did, uh, draft Lemelle Lemelle Oh, ball with the third overall pick 20.
00:07:35
20.
00:07:36
So now they have Davante Graham Lemelle a ball on Gordon Hayward way.
00:07:40
Are they competing? No.
00:07:42
No. I mean, come on.
00:07:44
Good.
00:07:45
Come on Now, Gordon Hayward isn't what he used to be.
00:07:49
We'll see how a mellow ball pans out.
00:07:50
It took Alonzo.
00:07:51
Ah, hot minute to start up.
00:07:53
And he really hasn't been nearly as productive as at least his dad said, um, when he was coming into the league and then Davante Graham, he showed signs, but he's kind of a one dimensional offensive player right now.
00:08:08
Um, one dimensional in terms off all a fence, Not much defense so that they're not competing.
00:08:14
I mean, good for you. You brought in Gordon Hayward.
00:08:18
So sorry.
00:08:25
That was kind of awkward there.
00:08:26
Um, but yeah, Gordon Hayward.
00:08:29
I mean, watch Charlotte.
00:08:32
I was sitting there the whole time, like Okay, that might be the only team that was offering him what he wanted.
00:08:39
You could go to Indiana.
00:08:40
But see, Listen, I'm not going to be mad at you for getting your money and the best example of this.
00:08:46
Carmelo Anthony, I'm not gonna be mad at you for getting your money, But if you don't win a ring, I don't feel bad for you, right? Like Melo.
00:08:54
2000 and 14, Chicago Bulls.
00:08:57
Derrick Rose came back right that year.
00:08:59
We saw Derrick.
00:09:00
Rose is still somewhat Derrick Rose.
00:09:02
Right there.
00:09:03
They This was going into the year where they lost to the Cavs in the second round.
00:09:06
Your Derrick Rose since the game winner in game 30.
00:09:09
This is that year going into that year, Chicago makes you an offer, right? He declines that he takes New York.
00:09:17
And what happens in New York is nothing.
00:09:20
Nothing.
00:09:21
They don't win anything.
00:09:22
His career goes on the decline, which causes him to get, I guess you just think black fall by the league.
00:09:27
Whatever you wanna call it, right, you go to Chicago, you have a chance of with a chance.
00:09:33
Because this is the first.
00:09:34
This is first going to think about it.
00:09:36
If you think about it, you've got LeBron in the East, right? And he's he's, you know, gonna be a force.
00:09:42
But if you team up, you know Carmelo Anthony.
00:09:45
Look how the Warriors overcame the mellow Derrick Rose Jimmy Butler, Pau Gasol that you are.
00:09:51
I think, you know, I think they got Pal Onley because Melo then signed.
00:09:55
So maybe even if you have Jimmy Butler, who's a defensive wizard? Derrick Rose, who's coming off in M V P season? You're not here.
00:10:04
He got hurt, but he's He's one of the most explosive players in the league.
00:10:07
I mean, you gotta rule named after him, for goodness sakes.
00:10:10
Um, and then you add tomorrow, Anthony whose, whose all time score and at the time, still a top 10 player. You don't take.
00:10:17
So that's why I'm that's what is apparent is, too.
00:10:19
So Gordon, go take your money.
00:10:20
I'm happy for you, but you don't want a championship.
00:10:23
I don't feel bad for you.
00:10:24
I don't because I know what you want to champion. Major choice.
00:10:29
Do you want financial security in the future for your kids and generations on or do championship? I understand that.
00:10:37
But all I'm saying is, I don't feel bad for you if you fail and don't make the playoffs like Indiana.
00:10:42
But they have won a title.
00:10:43
Likely not.
00:10:44
You're competing with Indiana Atlanta's intriguing Trae Young John Collins, Clint Capela.
00:10:50
Now you insert him in there as well.
00:10:53
They look more solid ground.
00:10:55
They did get Donald Gallinari as well.
00:10:58
Talk about a little bit, Um, but so, yeah, if you don't, you don't compete.
00:11:03
I don't feel bad for you.
00:11:04
That's basically the story of that.
00:11:07
Andi.
00:11:08
He did get $120 million with the Hornets, too.
00:11:11
So I mean, it's not like he was offered, like 15 million year.
00:11:17
And then another team, like, say, Indiana or Atlanta was offering him, like, 12 million.
00:11:22
And it was only three million per year difference.
00:11:24
He got 100 20 mil from Charlotte, and I really don't see many other teams giving Gordon.
00:11:29
Hayward has shown his injury prone recently four years in $120 million Um, per year, Um so you know, it's it's it's something that that he should be proud of, and I think he will be a good piece for Charlotte Moving forward.
00:11:46
He's just not gonna compete.
00:11:47
Uh, significant award.
00:11:50
Except for number one overall.
00:11:51
Draft pick.
00:11:52
Hum again.
00:11:54
Grabs like any paid.
00:11:56
Don't want anything.
00:11:57
Don't feel bad for you, but let's move on.
00:11:59
Uh, speaking Gallinari he went on to the Hawks three or $61.
00:12:02
5 million contract to join Trae Young Kevin here to the shooting guard.
00:12:08
Uh, John Collins and Clint Capela won't if you have anything on that right quick.
00:12:12
You know, I think it's gonna be a really good thing.
00:12:14
Gallanar shudder with the Clippers that he can score, um, at a pretty good clip.
00:12:18
They've got, um, an opening in the forward spot.
00:12:21
John Collins is coming back.
00:12:23
Trey Young obviously is a stud.
00:12:24
Clint Capela shown like he could be a really good guy.
00:12:27
The only reason he was traded because the Rockets wanted to go small ball and it's it's it's looking good.
00:12:34
The Hawks were looking to compete in the East next year.
00:12:37
I don't think they're gonna win a title or anything, but they'll be good for years to come.
00:12:41
Yeah, one of things.
00:12:43
I thought the Hawks kind of me.
00:12:44
It was a second scorer that could create for himself John Constant good.
00:12:48
Like yeah, and I think Danela.
00:12:54
And really, he's not.
00:12:55
He's not a first option, a really good team, but he could create for himself be a second or third option for 14.
00:13:02
And I think he helped Ah, Lot 17 to 22.
00:13:07
Yeah, for sure.
00:13:08
Next up, the Philadelphia 76 years they went out and traded for Steph Curry and Danny Green.
00:13:15
And they signed Dwight Howard told one year vet minimum deal.
00:13:19
I'm gonna start on this one really quickly, Darryl. Morning.
00:13:24
Thank you.
00:13:26
I'm not sick so fast.
00:13:27
But, my God, it's just painful to watch.
00:13:30
I mean, is this these? They have so much talent in their two superstars or star players, and they just consistently fail and fail.
00:13:38
Then they get Doc Rivers, who is a bona fide head coach. Daryl Morey.
00:13:41
He's not Darren, always not even GM.
00:13:42
He's like the assistant GM.
00:13:44
He's like he's more like the adviser.
00:13:48
Yeah, he's in the inner circle.
00:13:52
And then with all these trades, with all the shooters that they're getting Dwight Howard Thio, you know, take some of the pressure off of Joel and be who's gotten hurt banged up the last few years.
00:14:02
I think it's terrific for them and, you know, the six years where a lot of people's favorites I think they were my favorite going into last season, um, to represent the East in the NBA Finals and they miserably fell short of that.
00:14:15
And I think there they're building up again.
00:14:18
I wouldn't take them to be the favorite, but yeah, man, man, Oh, man, Oh, man, I don't think people understand how monumental this is because there's like in basketball in general, right? When you have this one, if you have a guy that can really shoot but could just drive down right? But you don't have shooters to kick out to right? Which is why, like LeBron last year with no shooters, really, you could just collapse the lane and force, which makes it eat harder for LeBron or prevent Simmons in the Sixers case, right? You give him shooters.
00:14:56
The lane start to open up through on the bead, can work down the post a little bit more because now they can't double.
00:15:03
So it dwells on the right block.
00:15:05
They can't the guys in the corner.
00:15:07
He can't come over and help.
00:15:08
Right? Just makes it easier just facing on the floor for the six.
00:15:12
I don't think people understand that.
00:15:13
It's like it's like, if you have, did you have? Ah, quarterbacks like Cam Newton, who's a running quarterback.
00:15:20
You've got to surround him with these elite weapons or in the Patriots case, you'll see him throw for 98 yards and two picks yet somehow wouldn't kill.
00:15:30
Man.
00:15:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:34
Um, next up my Lakers were kind of busy this off season.
00:15:39
So first off in the move, that kind of shocked me mantra as Harold signed with the Lakers on two year, $19 million deals.
00:15:48
E So? So the Clippers Air favored right going into it.
00:15:58
They have a better roster.
00:15:59
They have a better team.
00:16:00
So on so forth, Lakers go on to win the championship.
00:16:04
The Clippers don't even make it to the conference finals.
00:16:07
They get beat by Jamal Murray Essentially and Nicole Yokich who you were throwing a little bit of shade to.
00:16:12
Um hey, it was more so.
00:16:15
It was more so in the cola.
00:16:16
Yokich It wasn't even shade Okay anyways, and then then they come in the offseason.
00:16:24
Doc Rivers is gone.
00:16:25
You hear that? You know, co I and Paul George were the only two guys to have, you know, personal security and personal trainers on the team, and they got to choose whenever they wanted to play.
00:16:35
So, essentially, they were the coaches.
00:16:36
Doc Rivers, one even coach, Um and and and mantra is Harold one of their better players who contributes on the offensive glass so well that he's probably top offensive center, um, in the league, just pure offense.
00:16:51
And then he goes to the Lakers to be rotational peace and and fill in.
00:16:54
I think that's awesome.
00:16:55
The Lakers just said, Hey, come, come over here. My mantra.
00:17:00
Come over here, We'll show you how to win over here.
00:17:05
That's the huge slap in the face of the Clippers.
00:17:08
Like just.
00:17:11
It just just slapped in the face over.
00:17:14
We also got Dennis Schroder.
00:17:16
Anthony Davis resigned on a five year, $190 million contract.
00:17:20
They hear something kind of surprised me.
00:17:22
The long term commitment.
00:17:24
We don't typically see superstars go to a team by trade, right? Resign long term.
00:17:33
Right now, there's like go to a team of free agency and stay long term superstars like Katie Kyrie.
00:17:40
Um, Katie was there for what, Three years? No, like the contract.
00:17:46
The contract Admitting long time, Not not like how long they were there.
00:17:49
Like LeBron, it was like constant two plus ones.
00:17:52
Or after the two years, it was the one year extension or a one and one and basically did the same thing and going state Kyrie Els Four years.
00:18:02
But, I mean, that was kind of expected, or you wanna match up with Katie.
00:18:06
Go.
00:18:07
This is five years.
00:18:08
80 is gonna be l A to at least he's 32.
00:18:10
My Lakers are gonna get at least two.
00:18:14
I think we're gonna get in this year, Spoiler.
00:18:16
We're gonna get one this year.
00:18:17
Um, and we're gonna get one without LeBron with a d. That's the best player.
00:18:22
We're gonna get 11 more, LeBron.
00:18:24
Do you Do you think this five year contract we're hearing some whispers with Yannis? I don't think that would be a great matchup, but you don't think Anthony Davis once LeBron's out of the league? Um, no, There's gonna be eighties team.
00:18:39
LeBron is gone.
00:18:40
It's gonna be eighties team.
00:18:42
And actually, I think we saw we saw LeBron slowly handed him the keys.
00:18:46
Like if the Lakers are a car, right, Lebron's get slowly giving him the keys that Hey, you could drive a 20 MPH.
00:18:54
Okay, This year is gonna be 30 MPH.
00:18:58
Right after this year, the keys are gonna be fully and Anthony Davis hands if you get my metaphor, metaphor, ****ogy, whatever it is, um, And after this year, 80 is gonna be driving 50 MPH plus down the highway, going to Venice Beach or whatever in l. A.
00:19:17
This is gonna be, uh, eighties team after this year for certain, um, let's move on to the Washington Wizards.
00:19:25
Oh, my God.
00:19:26
That's a couple of deals.
00:19:27
I don't even know this.
00:19:28
So, first over, over paid alert.
00:19:31
Overpaid alert.
00:19:32
Davis were Tan's sharpshooter for the Wizards.
00:19:36
Agreed to a five year 80 million.
00:19:38
Actually doesn't sound bad more.
00:19:39
I say it five years, $80 million contract.
00:19:43
Teoh right through to return to the Washington Wizards to the solid player.
00:19:48
But my God, that's a lot of money.
00:19:51
Um, he averaged 15 points per game and shot 42% from three.
00:19:55
Um, in the Brooklyn Nets.
00:19:57
They just put a dent into the cat space. Even Mawr.
00:20:01
Joe Harris agreed to a four year, $75 million contract.
00:20:07
Took comeback for the Nets.
00:20:08
Um, man, oh, man, it is important, but dang dang right.
00:20:14
Also also real quick.
00:20:16
So Anthony Davis has a five year deal, right? Jimmy Butler has two more seasons on his Miami Heat contract.
00:20:25
About this.
00:20:26
Suggest that Jimmy Butler comes to L.
00:20:27
A. And then he's an unrestricted free agent.
00:20:29
LeBron has two more seasons He signed in two years, suggesting that No, that's not so.
00:20:34
You think you don't think Jimmy Butler is gonna come here? I think that'll be a nice pairing.
00:20:38
They would, But that's not gonna happen.
00:20:40
I mean, I'm not even saying I don't want to see Jimmy and a d would be the best defense and see me to leave, But, um, but yeah, it's not gonna happen.
00:20:50
Jimmy's, Jimmy's Miami he like for like, he's gonna retire of Heat.
00:20:56
He's retired.
00:20:57
He's gonna retire.
00:20:59
Heat, uh, markets.
00:21:00
Mora Sr has had agreed to a four year, $64 million deal to remain with the Clippers and Christian would forward from the tri Pistons.
00:21:09
He signs a three year, $41 million deal with the Houston Rockets.
00:21:13
One thing on the Clippers, though with I remember this mantra as Harold going back to him, he said after he signed with the Lakers, they felt like they didn't want me.
00:21:22
And we see that a lot.
00:21:23
Like JJ Red****.
00:21:24
Go listen to the old man and three podcast.
00:21:26
Uh, this is not an endor*****t.
00:21:28
JJ Red**** endorse us.
00:21:30
Um, but he said, like he it seemed like he wanted to go back toe Philly.
00:21:36
But, like he said when he was talking on his podcast like Jimmy, Jimmy Butler, ironically right? Yeah, the question was, he asked, Jimmy, when did you know you were gone, right? I forget his.
00:21:46
I forget Jimmy's response.
00:21:48
I don't want to quote Jimmy, but basically what JJ said was like I was gone after the conversations like it sounds like, uh, from what Billy was saying that they only wanted me back.
00:22:00
Worst case scenario.
00:22:02
Basically, I was the It's a fallback plan.
00:22:05
It's similar to the Clippers thing.
00:22:07
I mean, going back to the Clippers, Obviously.
00:22:11
I mean, Paul, George and quiet Leonard like royalty there.
00:22:13
Um and Harold just said, You know what? I'm done with this. I want to be treated.
00:22:18
There's the There's a tweet from bleacher report.
00:22:21
Um I mean, just look at that.
00:22:24
I mean, nobody wants to play on a team where you can pick and choose when you play.
00:22:28
And when you are basically separated by a security staff in the training staff that these guys have no idea who they are, what they're doing there and you know it Z not good for the Clippers.
00:22:43
I mean, it's like, well, locker room cancer.
00:22:45
Um, I'm not going as far to say that Hawaiian, Paul, George or locker room cancers, but I'm not saying they're not either.
00:22:58
Yeah, my bad again.
00:23:00
Technical difficulties.
00:23:01
I'm not myself today.
00:23:03
But Ellis move on.
00:23:04
Wesley Matthews, another guy.
00:23:06
My Lakers got one year, $3.
00:23:07
6 million deal.
00:23:08
I think people are underrating and like throwing that under the rug or whatever.
00:23:14
Mm.
00:23:15
Shooting guard.
00:23:17
Uhh! No more dainty green.
00:23:20
No more Rondo like disrespect.
00:23:23
We got KCP still.
00:23:25
Yeah.
00:23:26
Yeah. I was thinking he would be.
00:23:28
I mean, I guess he wouldn't play the point point, but, Oh, Lord, um, through holiday is has been traded.
00:23:37
Thio, uh, Milwaukee Bucks.
00:23:39
You guys kind already got my reaction to that.
00:23:41
So, I mean, unless Warner has anything to add, can move on.
00:23:45
No, the by Donovan's lost, though, was a big loss.
00:23:50
I'm not being able to work that out.
00:23:54
Yeah, every Bradley said the Heat one.
00:23:56
Or what are your thoughts on that? I think that's a viable defense.
00:24:01
So I mean, they basically got another guy who was a defense and shooting guy.
00:24:05
Um, Avery Bradley, um, is just gonna make the heat even more formidable defensively, even more formidable from beyond the arc.
00:24:14
And they're looking to reap to Eli's make another run at the at the finals.
00:24:21
Yep, I mentioned Jeff Jae Crowder earlier, signed with sons on a three year, $30 million team.
00:24:27
This will be Crowder six stop his 16 just to start at the 2016 17 season.
00:24:33
So that'll be Katie's first year Golden State, the year where the season didn't even matter.
00:24:39
The only team that shot being Golden State with the Cavs.
00:24:42
Um, yeah, they really didn't have a shop well in in Spurs show they had a chance to, But that was anybody. Zaza Pachulia.
00:24:51
Yeah, Yeah.
00:24:53
Uh, Let's see.
00:24:55
Radio Rondo agreed to a two year, $15 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks.
00:24:59
I really like that deal for them.
00:25:01
I really, really, really, really, really like that deal for Atlanta.
00:25:07
Um, trusted.
00:25:09
Thompson is joining the Celtics $19 million for two seasons.
00:25:14
This shows that LeBron gonna pay.
00:25:18
Uh, hilarious.
00:25:19
Um, Speaking of KCP, we brought him back.
00:25:22
Three year, $40 million deal.
00:25:24
So Okay, the nucleus.
00:25:26
I'm what you would call its nucleus.
00:25:27
Katy, not Katie.
00:25:29
LeBron a d uh, and KCP all return.
00:25:34
Probably three best players from our NBA Finals.
00:25:37
Siri's against them.
00:25:38
Um, bigger wants Serge Ibaka.
00:25:42
Signs for the Clippers to your $19 million deal.
00:25:46
Diving Mental.
00:25:47
This was the first off, I think, to rookie Max.
00:25:50
Extension deals.
00:25:51
Do***entary.
00:25:52
Agreed to a five year, $195 million rookie, uh, designated rookie Max extension.
00:25:59
I believe Jason Tatum also signed that.
00:26:03
Very same.
00:26:04
Yeah, he signed, actually is might be a little different.
00:26:08
Um, but basically, Warner uhh We talked about this with Ben Simmons last year.
00:26:14
Um, basically, the context of the deal is 195 is the most you can make. Uhh.
00:26:24
And that's if you are.
00:26:29
You have to make, like, your all NBA team all MBA third, basically, Yeah, pretty much like, I think it's 165 based or whatever.
00:26:41
So, you know, I'll explain it.
00:26:44
Hold on.
00:26:45
Actually, let's see if I found something good here.
00:26:49
Yeah, I mean, I know.
00:26:51
I just wanna make sure I have my details.
00:26:53
Right.
00:26:54
So I'm a research that in the next week, when I come back on, I'll explain more detail.
00:26:59
All right, now, right.
00:27:00
Here we go.
00:27:01
Tatum were received over Jason. 10.
00:27:03
Contract goes to Stanford.
00:27:05
Elemental.
00:27:06
They will receive the 30% max that will boost the contract values value to 195 mil on Lee if he makes 1st, 2nd or third all be all n b a team.
00:27:17
Next.
00:27:18
Cesar, this upcoming season.
00:27:19
Yeah, uh, and Tatum also has a player option, including his.
00:27:26
So And I believe if you don't make an all NBA team, I think it may be 1 65 I think maybe I don't know.
00:27:35
Um, with 30% increase, you make one of those teams.
00:27:38
Uh, let's keep going out.
00:27:40
Maybe even our 15 minutes here, Let's let's go.
00:27:43
Let's go to some rockets news e think that's the big thing? Yeah, I know you're trying to say that for last, but now I was gonna say that Velasco's that wants that.
00:27:52
We're getting one more thing before we hop off.
00:27:55
Um, so I really quickly November 23rd or is this 27? You wanted to Washington Way.
00:28:00
The general manager, Tommy Sheppard, says there's no plans.
00:28:03
The trade jump ball general had not requested a deal.
00:28:08
Fast forward.
00:28:10
December 2nd, 2 December second and the news broke.
00:28:15
7 56 PM Eastern Standard Time.
00:28:19
Yes, every 56 Eastern Standard time John Wall has been traded that he's the Rockets or Russell Westbrook.
00:28:26
Uh, and the Rockets also get a first round pick.
00:28:30
Warner surprised about that added first round pick.
00:28:33
I was surprised about that, Warner, Who would you say is the winner of this trade? Who won the deal? I think I think the Rockets said if John Wall comes back healthy, especially getting that first round pick.
00:28:46
If he comes back healthy, I think him and harden together gonna be nice.
00:28:49
Now, I think Bill and Westbrook are gonna be a nice do it, but I have more.
00:28:53
I think at this point in time, John Walls and more valuable player in terms of playoff success than Russell Westbrook is, um And, you know, I just feel bad for Bradley Beal.
00:29:07
Oh, man.
00:29:08
But I think I think that the trade's gonna help both the teams a whole lot.
00:29:11
And it just shows that you can always believe n b A executives or sports executive executives when they say something because that can always change.
00:29:20
Um, so, yeah, John Wall is now part of the Houston Rockets.
00:29:24
Now, here's the question.
00:29:25
Are they going to still run that small ball kind of look because they don't necessarily need to use on law as that slasher because he has more of a shot than Harden.
00:29:32
And I think that's gonna be interesting.
00:29:34
More was shot than harder than you need.
00:29:36
Westbrook.
00:29:37
Yeah.
00:29:38
Yeah. Westbrook, my bad Looks like hard.
00:29:40
Wait. A pause.
00:29:41
Technical foul? Um, yeah.
00:29:44
New system.
00:29:45
They won't do that. Um, in terms of fit.
00:29:48
I like the Bradley Beal Russell Westbrook pairing better than John Wall.
00:29:54
Uh, James Harden parent, because John Wall he's a playmaker.
00:30:00
He creates for others.
00:30:02
He's that slasher, really nifty on the right word, but at the rim.
00:30:07
Right, Um, and for the Wizards, you know Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal.
00:30:12
Remember last year with Omar D o e another over the Wizard.
00:30:19
So I mean, it worked out in the end.
00:30:21
Just the wrong team.
00:30:22
Um, but yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:30:24
You know, that kind of eerily reminds me of without the defense.
00:30:29
Paul George Russell Westbrook.
00:30:31
You have a dynamic scorer.
00:30:35
Uh, and Bradley Bradley was probably a little bit more of a better score.
00:30:39
Dan and Paul George, right? Not good defender.
00:30:43
Right. Russell Westbrook.
00:30:45
You know, do it all except shoot on offense, play with extreme intensity.
00:30:51
You got David Burton.
00:30:52
You have some other shooters on that roster as well, but John Law comes back and he's healthy.
00:30:57
He's a top five point guard in the league, depending on how you feel where you put look like if Lucas a point guard of yards to me, it's like a 5.
00:31:04
0.
00:31:05
0.4 so I don't put LeBron and point guard.
00:31:07
I'll put Luca and point guard unnecessarily.
00:31:10
E think you can put Luca and point guard.
00:31:13
I think he plays more point guard.
00:31:14
LeBron has shown throughout his career that he's been a forward like strictly forward at times.
00:31:19
He's just really, really good with the ball.
00:31:21
I think you can also argue the same thing for you.
00:31:24
Honest to, um, he's got nice ball. Move on.
00:31:27
This is a point forward.
00:31:28
Yeah, just for in the point.
00:31:30
He's a point guard, a small horse body, Really powerful words satisfying.
00:31:33
But, um um yeah, but crab Yeah, John Wall.
00:31:40
When healthy, he's a top five point guard, arguably in the MBA.
00:31:45
I'm a little worried about I'm questioning a bit, but he comes back healthy.
00:31:49
You get a first round pick added to that as well.
00:31:51
I like this move for both sides, really in in the first round.
00:31:55
Pick, I think, gives him flexibility and maybe trade for a guy like a center, if they want to go that direction, or they could just use their own, use the first round pick, um, in this upcoming draft and say, Hey, you know this year we'll see how it goes.
00:32:08
You will see how the parent goes.
00:32:09
We'll see what we need to add.
00:32:10
We'll see how far we can make it.
00:32:12
And then we'll get a really, really good player for a position of need in the draft.
00:32:18
So, yeah, I think it was a really good deal for both of them.
00:32:22
Um, no.
00:32:23
Nobody got fleeced in this in this trade.
00:32:32
Gosh, what was my computer? Hate me today.
00:32:34
All right.
00:32:35
I think that's all the bigger deals in, you know, trades or whatever.
00:32:40
Anyway, Steven Adams, along with the whole Lakers roster I mean, thunder roster, um, has were traded, if you do not recall, um, Dennis Schroder obviously went to my Lakers.
00:32:55
He's now a Laker.
00:32:56
Um, you guys fit there.
00:32:59
I think that's all the bigger trades.
00:33:03
Let's end the show on this.
00:33:05
We're gonna go top four teams in each conference corner with conference.
00:33:11
You want to start off with this kind of our like free agency.
00:33:15
Recap slash NBA preview.
00:33:17
Yeah, I think I think the East is gonna be slightly easier.
00:33:20
So let's start with that and save it for the West.
00:33:22
I think I think the West has more, more teams that you could possible.
00:33:26
Are we doing this in order? We just doing top four.
00:33:29
You could do in order or just top four.
00:33:31
I think we should do it in order.
00:33:32
Um, projecting like the end of the season.
00:33:35
Regular season standings.
00:33:37
Essentially.
00:33:38
All right, um, my number four team in the east is going to be I know what I know.
00:33:52
What teams I'm putting in there.
00:33:54
I just the order, man.
00:33:56
The order something else.
00:33:57
Honestly, I think the number four team is going to be 70 Sixers just because of continuity.
00:34:03
They don't have it, and I think they'll be the four seat.
00:34:07
Um, I think the three seed we're gonna see is the, um I think the heat are gonna be the three seed.
00:34:15
I think we're going to see the Celtics as the two seed and the bucks take the one seed yet again.
00:34:23
Okay, I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:34:25
I completely forgot about the heat.
00:34:27
Um, game on me.
00:34:30
They just They just went to the plate and they went to the ****.
00:34:32
Uh Okay.
00:34:35
Crap that screws on my list.
00:34:38
Dang it all right.
00:34:39
Uh, I'm a cheat.
00:34:42
I'm gonna.
00:34:43
55 Billy or Miami.
00:34:47
Three.
00:34:49
Brooklyn to Boston, one.
00:34:52
Milwaukee, Brooklyn.
00:34:55
I was thinking that e think they'll get five seen because I think they'll be a top 14.
00:35:01
Alright.
00:35:02
Every guy.
00:35:03
You think Katie's only barely a top 20 player? I forgot that.
00:35:06
You, um Oh, my God.
00:35:09
I just want to kill.
00:35:12
Just watch r a l x.
00:35:16
Oh, my boy, I can't wait.
00:35:20
I'm even.
00:35:21
I'm not having the biggest Katie guy.
00:35:23
I just hope Katie goes out and it just dropped 30.
00:35:30
You're You're a hater, you know that? You are such a hater.
00:35:33
I just I really hope Katie averages 30 this year.
00:35:38
Is that about it's about? It's about Katie.
00:35:42
It's the way he does it.
00:35:44
He he's one of There is a reason why I call him the most the best scorer ever, right? Because, I mean, it's probably him and Kobe The thing that sets him apart from Kobe.
00:35:57
He's efficient.
00:35:58
He'll get 40.
00:35:59
He could drop 40 a game if he wants to and get 50% from the field while doing get looking at that BB season.
00:36:07
K D is efficient when dropping 30 and 40.
00:36:10
So does it Look at the way he doesn't know Doesn't matter because, you know, I mean, I mean the variety of shots that he takes and makes meaning Move on.
00:36:20
You wanna go to the West now you're a hater.
00:36:24
But I think Boston will have some of that continuity.
00:36:27
You know, Kyron's and Katie and stuff.
00:36:29
They learn how to play together.
00:36:30
They're still the most talent.
00:36:32
They're the most talented team in the East, though, right? But the most talented team in the East And that will be enough.
00:36:38
They're not the Clippers, though.
00:36:39
The most talented team in the East.
00:36:41
That will be enough to get them the third.
00:36:43
Or maybe even 1/4 seeded Miami continues to excel.
00:36:47
Um, go on to the West Warner.
00:36:49
Yeah, I think my number four seed is is going to be the clippers.
00:36:55
Um, they've lost.
00:36:57
They've lost talent, but I think they'll still be able to mainly careful.
00:37:01
And then they kind of replacing the search.
00:37:03
Ibaka, Yes, but they we talked about them being like having a bunch of one sided players.
00:37:10
They still really have those one side of players.
00:37:12
They just flip the center from an offensive center to mainly defensive um, center.
00:37:19
Um, I think I think we're gonna see the Clippers is the four seed.
00:37:22
Um, I think I think the three seed that we're gonna see this year went with Clay's injury.
00:37:30
This makes it a lot tougher.
00:37:33
Um, but I think my three seed, unless I'm forgetting someone, is you know what scraps that I think we're gonna see.
00:37:51
I'm calling right here.
00:37:52
Four seed, the sun's three seed, the Clippers to see the Nuggets and the one seed Lakers.
00:37:59
Wow.
00:38:00
Okay, I'm gonna have speed through mine because I feel like I'm missing somebody.
00:38:03
But that's what I'm gonna go with. Yeah.
00:38:05
Or Dallas, Dallas and Christoph.
00:38:07
Okay, that's that's her.
00:38:11
Dallas is poor.
00:38:15
Three is gonna be, um, Denver to l.
00:38:20
A one.
00:38:22
Lakers.
00:38:23
Um, now we have about four minutes or less than four minutes.
00:38:26
Let's like this.
00:38:28
We just something like this last year.
00:38:29
But players is doing this.
00:38:30
You with teams warning.
00:38:33
Who is your most Who do you predict is going to keep keep is going to disappoint the most.
00:38:48
We're just talking regular season the nets because I think they're going to get the five seed.
00:38:54
You're muted today.
00:39:06
No explanation of you didn't hear me say that, are you? Most disappointing team.
00:39:14
I want to know I was elegant.
00:39:16
I don't e don't really know.
00:39:19
You know, like the expect.
00:39:20
It's not even because I think that before I'm bad, the expectations Ojai.
00:39:26
Right? And it's not e uh, You lost your hot day.
00:39:33
Expectations will be so, E lonzo ball E o um, prising team here.
00:39:47
I think the most surprising team is gonna be the sons.
00:39:50
Um, just because I have them being the fourth seed, I think they're gonna be surprising in a good way.
00:39:57
I think you know, I don't know why you're like I actually have no idea why you're looking at me like that, but I think they'll be the most surprising team.
00:40:04
I think they're going to be competitive, but I think they're gonna go into at least into the second round of the playoffs.
00:40:11
Oh, my God.
00:40:12
I was about to have a heart attack.
00:40:13
If you said some ridiculous, I was like, Don't Don't you dare State conference finals.
00:40:16
Don't you dare say they have a shot to make conference finals.
00:40:19
I think they got a shot.
00:40:20
I don't think it's a likely shot.
00:40:21
No, no, no.
00:40:24
I would take Golden State in a seven game series over Phoenix.
00:40:27
Really? Yes.
00:40:30
Okay.
00:40:31
Okay.
00:40:32
I thought it could be argument there, but we have two minutes left, so we'll save that for another time.
00:40:35
Most surprising team for me. I like Atlanta.
00:40:38
Ah, lot If they could stay healthy.
00:40:41
John Collins gonna do with nothing stupid this year, right? Thio him and DeAndre 18.
00:40:47
Actually, same thing happened.
00:40:48
Will, full or two.
00:40:49
They were given substances from trusted, trusted people that they really shouldn't have trusted and did not know knowingly.
00:40:58
Take the steroids. BS.
00:41:02
Um, Atlanta is mine.
00:41:04
Trae Young. Like I mentioned earlier.
00:41:06
Superstar in the making.
00:41:07
All right, so we're gonna wrap it up with this final question.
00:41:10
Wonder who's gonna be the M V p M v p.
00:41:13
And what's your final Siri's pick? Well, the M v p is obviously gonna be honest, because he is, I guess the consensus M v p.
00:41:20
Now, because nobody likes LeBron and kgs coming off the Achilles and maybe Steph, I don't know.
00:41:25
The m v P.
00:41:26
Vote really doesn't even matter anymore.
00:41:28
Um, but the finals prediction.
00:41:31
I think we're going to see the Lakers being the finals, and I think we're gonna see the Celtics edge out the Nets in the conference finals.
00:41:39
Okay, um, for me, N v p. I'm gonna go.
00:41:42
Luca Luca's gonna get it this year.
00:41:44
I think, um, Yannis is a fine pick.
00:41:47
It's a safe pick, but voted fatigue while he while he's gonna get a bunch of the most vote fatigue, it's still a real thing.
00:41:55
Especially if you went back to back with his staff looking LeBron.
00:41:58
More recent examples of back to back M V P winners, voter fatigue, Israel.
00:42:03
Um, well, I'm gonna go with Luca and be honest, Did just win it like a year and then separated year.
00:42:12
It was what, Yannis hardened.
00:42:13
Honest, right? No, it was Harding.
00:42:15
Honestly Honest back.
00:42:17
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:19
Voter fatigue.
00:42:20
Israel, Especially with back to back times.
00:42:22
Lucas, a band favorite.
00:42:24
He's gonna win it my finals pick to wrap up the show.
00:42:27
The Lakers will make it.
00:42:30
I think Brooklyn is gonna make it.
00:42:32
I think Katie is right.
00:42:34
I mean, like something just with Brooklyn doesn't feel, and it's not KD coming off the injury if something doesn't feel quite its's not.
00:42:41
Yes, I promise you, it's not something feels won't admit it.
00:42:45
Is Katie coming off the injury? They got a lot of fun doing this episode.
00:42:49
It was this episode, the most authentic place to sports, Warner says.
00:42:53
Warner says some very questionable things here.
00:42:56
So when it happens in the season, I could call him out like it did with Jimmy Butler.
00:43:00
The most overrated move with the all season her that guy to my left, my life that is the most did so ridiculous take effort that, honestly, that that one hurts because I said that I was really confident, and then you like, nailed the Al Horford and the Bogdan Mike Conley and I was Saudi.
00:43:17
I nailed it.
00:43:19
Horford and Kali is overrated, and Bogdanovich from the crap the jazz underrated.
00:43:26
I think somebody else that I only do one.
00:43:28
I think you only didn't want underrated, but I don't think I watch that, but they were watching the most authentic places for a lot of fun, I'm sure, Warner says of the ridiculous.
00:43:37
So maybe it's gonna be me this year.
00:43:39
Hey, I just got a weird feeling about the Nets as a team and your final thoughts.
00:43:45
You know, C p my guy CPS The guy outside of LeBron.
00:43:48
He got me into basketball.
00:43:49
But I think you're a little too high on Phoenix again. Anyway.
00:43:53
Think of our sports unless you most authentic place of sports.
00:43:55
Uh, go check our patryan page support.
