"On the rim? Hasn't been a lot yet, but I think the pacers need someone that can regularly do that. And Christopher is not really that guy either. So if I was the pacers, that's what I would look to do, acquire a really good guard who can pressure the basket at a high level and look to improve that way. I'm not saying it'll be this guy, but like someone in the vein of a jaylen sags like someone who fits their timeline that is just like a super downhill creator who defends at a high level on the ball particularly and is just really aggressive is what I would look for. Again, it won't be jail in socks because Orlando's control. But maybe that's also without the trade, say the product thing doesn't work. Somebody else kind of having the draft and J 90 you have like that fourth 5th ish type pick. That's a possibility too. Not a long commute for him to go to Purdue down to Indiana to play for the pacers. I'm not trying to get too far down the line, but that was probably some of the possibilities they thought about. And getting younger and looking at the freshman class and what's just stash and what these guys develop over time, we're not going to win this year, but build around tyrese halbert and built around maybe crystal Arte and the other pieces they already have. Yeah, if I was them, I would pretty aggressively pursue Jade and ivy in this year's draft. I think that's the exact guy that they need to make this work. But we'll see. No, I think that the pacers are off to a very strong start in their rebuild. They have a lot of really smart guys that are really scalable players, which will allow them to hopefully get the star here moving forward. It's almost like a raptors in rebuild, where they got the guys that fit around the star in now the raptors try and find the star and it might be Scotty Barnes. It might be this version of Pascal siakam that's been incredible since he has returned from his year and a half where he wasn't awesome. But by keeping OG and Adobe and I mean, Fred van vleet has turned into something different, but he was a guy that had a really high floor like some of the guys we're talking about like Chris duarte and tyrese Halliburton, right? But by keeping some of the guys that they kept around, Gary Trent junior signing him to his extension. They've set themselves up really well to have the pieces in place that once they get the star developed the star, they're going to be able to make a leap up the east and we're seeing that literally right now with what's going on. So, okay. Let's go to the next deal. The New Orleans pelicans acquire CJ McCollum Larry Nance junior and Tony Snell from the Portland Trail Blazers for Josh hart, Tomas Saturn ski. Nikhil Alexander walker, didi lozada, a 2022 protected first round pick that has some kind of funky protection. It's essentially like protected for this year to where the blazers get it. If it's between 5 and 14, I.

"Riddle, but it's also an offensive. Just have some they have a lot of ice so guys. The four guards thing, I mean, there are lineups where you're like, man, this is like it's like ball plus Kobe white who's back plus AO, Io's rather IO to sue me. Who I like IO. He gets around screens, he's a competitor on the defense. He gets skinny he gets around screens. He's not afraid to take shots. I like him. And Caruso or balls like man, they're really playing four guards. When you look at, like, at least they're playing for two guards, like four legit like Kobe white is 6 5. Caruso is 6 5 or something like that. As well, right? Yeah, these guys are big Derozan and Levine can play three and have played a lot of three, like they're at least, there isn't like Lonzo, I think is 6 6. These are big guards. They have size, they're good rebounders. If you're gonna play a lot of guards, these are the kind of guards you wanna play to survive on defense the other thing is you mentioned juggling the matchups. It's a little dumb thing, but as soon as Randall went out of the game and top and went in the game, they shifted assignments so Derozan was on OB topping and the guards Caruso and ball could then go defend the guys they actually should be defending Derek rose or Kemba Walker ellick works. The dangerous guys. And to me, I think this is, you know, when Billy Donovan was coaching in Oklahoma City, the first couple years were all Russ and first rest in KD, then restaurants Russ, and everyone was like, I don't know what Billy Donovan stands for as a coach. And then they had the one year with Shay and CP three where he leaned into that three guard lineup with Dennis Schroeder. And now he's playing this style with the bulls and just getting these little decisions right in every game. And I think what Billy Donovan stands for as a coach is you have some coaches who are dogmatic and you gotta fit their style or not. He will adapt to his personnel, think outside the box ways that fit his personnel with the one exception is his team tend to be good on defense and fiercely competitive. If you don't do those things, you might not play. I think he's emerging as a really quality NBA coach. I love Donna. It's funny when you talk to him. It's a real, it's a procedural talk. What he'll say is, okay, here's the challenge, right? Like Williams is our whatever we have size, and then he kind of diagnoses potential solutions and then he offers the best one, right? And I made note of this in conversations. It's just he's a thinker. And again, like he pushes, he's and he loves pushing buttons. On personalities, and he loves having to make the lesser of challenging. Decisions. And I think he's doing a great job. Demar has been just off the charts and including his passing which has taken a leap incrementally almost every year. This is the best ever been in Lonzo just always doing fun stuff, set in flare screens, doing all this fun stuff. Big picture, they're interesting and actually make for an interesting comparison with the kings. You know, they reached this point where they make the Jimmy Butler trade. Which is a massive organizational pivot. We don't think we can win with butler plus mirror titch, plus all our picks plus cap space. You know, and then they do that and they're non butler rebuild kind of fails. Like they're not really going anywhere. They clearly didn't have a lot of faith in one del cardo junior or Lowry market. And Chris Dunn watched out, go back even further, Denzel Valentine, Tony Snell, the Doug McDermott trade. Like they just after Jimmy Butler they didn't get a lot out of the draft and the return from that trade ended up really just being Levine. And you reach this point as a mediocre to bad team who's already torn down once where you have a player like Levine is contract is coming up and you have a choice. So do we tear down again? Are fans going to tolerate that? We tear down again, or do we try to get better and hit lightning in a bottle where we trade for the right guys, we sign the right guy and everything measures together and we get good. Maybe we don't win a championship. Maybe we would even make a Conference Finals, but we get good and exciting and there's honor in that. And oh, by the way, we didn't mortgage the entire future to do it. And that's what they shot for. That's the decision they made. So we believe Zach lavine's an all star. We believe it's legit. We're gonna try to build around him. Yeah, they gave up fad, young and a pick for Derozan side and more money than that would have paid him, guess what? He's playing great. Lonzo, home run deal, right? Voc two first and Wendell Carter junior, that's the one that I thought was too steep at the time. We'll see, but they've built a good team the Caruso signing was a great signing and there's honor and being good and they're good and they're exciting. And that's the kind of decision that I bring up the kings because we're on tear down I mean, I don't know they've never really had anything to tear down. They've never really built anything. There's just sort of been a continuous fire burning all the time that they can't put out. But they're gonna face the same thing of like, do we go backwards again? Do we trade Fox for picks? Are fans gonna tolerate that? And they're gonna have to do the same thing. The bulls did, which was find a way to lift this team from 35 wins and say we can get better instead of getting worse. It's not easy to do. No, I think the hardest thing in the league is getting from, oh, we're a promising 34 win team. It's fun to watch and now start starting to win home games to very respectable. Like that 35 to 45 is I think one of the toughest jumps in the league. Speaking of which, let's end by talking about the Washington Wizards who lost at home to the Charlotte hornets. Their second straight loss to the horns east is just, I think there's 11 teams in the east right now who are 500 or better. This is a lot of fun, just so you don't know night tonight who's going to be who the whiz are 11 and 6, third in the east, 19th on offense, fourth on defense, fourth on defense. Tenth in net rating. They have not had Rui hachimura, the whole season, will his reintroduction soon help or hurt their team? We'll talk about that. They have not had Thomas Bryant. They've been missing Davis for tans lately. He's coming back soon. Neither didn't we nor be able have played lights out for the season and yet here they are 11 and 6. I think you could start wherever you want. I'll open the floor to you. To me, the most important question is, is this defense real? Because if this defense is real, the wizards have a chance to hang around. Hang around..

"He signed this. He signed his first round pick as of today he was. He was in the gym developing players meeting with the player development staff to me the final straw was. He wasn't willing to do this whereas the owners and the new owners coming in saying that they should go and get ben so if the are the deals i think what the i think the move. I think the final straw was. They don't want to give up anything for bannon and they said screw this guy so new ownership they want their guys in the office but if the t. wolves are the are the rot in hell in minneapolis. Ben first off to you have to make a move that can position you to be able to make another move which is d you owe. And a slew of picks and pick swamps just so that when the next superstar if dame becomes available. You still have assets the swing. You still have a matisse you still have a maximum so that type of deal is more to me like you have to make a deal that will allow you to make another deal in the future. Because zillow doesn't put the team over the top is essentially your side. I think that deal makes the team better in the playoffs. But i don't think that is putting us with the boxer rats now but it's more so that thing given the conversations and the new information that have has benz stock in trade equity decrease that all for you maybe even a little. What do you mean like you know. You used to say. Ben plus maxi and picks yet dame easily i still i still think it's just a matter of when dame finally sees tony. Snell cody zeller play basketball. And he realizes what the fuck doing here. But i genuinely like you can't sit here and tell me nobody wants to stay jack that it's like where as time continued like i i don't i don't i. This isn't biased towards the sixers. Because as far as we know that ben isn't even on the sixers so who cares like his ceiling can still really that debt you think he's a perennial australian dream. Ongeri us. i think that his ceiling can still be religious. You think he'd be just draw. I don't think he needs to find j. There's what hold him back. I think he needs to. He needs to shoot the ball. But i think i think the number one thinking to do is improve. A free is improving free. Throw shooting if this guy could shoot seventy something percent from the line jack. He'd average twenty four thousand. It'd be rabble exactly. It's a mental thing. And i think part of that is the situation. That's played out in philadelphia on everything and that a new change of scenery will do it for him. But it's just exhausting with this guy and exhausting. I actually started a fucking diary for this guy. I wrote down the way i felt. Read that I thought you were kind of kidding. You're actually diary about this guy. I took time today. Sat down went back erased. It edited legitimately. Because i had to convey how i fell on a piece earn in a notes app while all right well i don't. They did everything for this guy. Everything protect him you made. It seem like this guy was good. He's terrible anyways. Let's move onto more positive light. I feel like the vibe of the podcast. We obviously skip monday. So last record was thurs that it's been about a week Visor very different here The ravens were underdogs facing you know patrick. Mahomes jackson mahomes and the eagles were home. You're gonna be there your wanna know eagleton's wanna know and in the past seven days it feels like there's a little flip that all obviously initiated with the eagles losing at home at having inept offense and a running back for quarterback the dolphins lost thirty five nothing and then the ravens took care of patty 'em did you you didn't staff for the game I literally watched the confetti fall in the ravens when the soup the way that they celebrated the other night jack. Congratulations hang a banner. As i am able to convince the entire internet that you got a tattoo on your of the score like that's that is exactly how much you were boasting about it. Raised is out onto detroit. All i ditch at all. I did was zero point zero percent guarantee which was odd. It was i. I had the screen shots. Wait you had the screech. Is the most.

"We can move to the portland. Trailblazers the blazers last year. Finish forty two thirty and pretty close to their differential differential of a forty six point. Eight win team roster is somewhat similar to last year. Remember they got. they swapped. Norman powell for got norm powell exchange for gary Way through the season they traded dirksen junior and some picks for For larry nance junior. Which i think is going to be a big help in there is still the uncertainty swirling around damian lillard but for me i'd be the basic here is that last year the blazers had the differential a forty six point win team when they had the second worst defense in the league including horrendous bench defense and not every part of that is fixed but the cantor mellow minutes oregon. And while that could lead to some reduction in their offensive efficacy. I think there's more ground to gain improving defense than there is ground to lose weakening on offense. Yeah i haven't totally finished. I won't do it until the very start of the season. We go through. All the team previews but i to me. This is a team that went damian. Lillard has been healthy has looked by guitar. Five offense and yet the bench offense may not be quite as good. But i think they're going to be firmly in that mix with some of the other top offenses You i don't think they made enough changes. Yeah they brought it up the nate one stat on that in the last eight years portland has had a top seven offense six times and i believe at least one of the two years. The didn't lillard missed significant time. So forty three and a half. I mean it seems like they're iran this range over year It seems like i always end up going the over on portland. I'm kind of leaning that way again. This year i was seduced a year ago by some of the defensive changes that they made those obviously did didn't work although worth noting that when they had merkich and covington out there they actually defended just fine. It was just the bench. That was terrible now though. I think Their bench defensive should be relatively adequate. Cody zeller i think is an underrated pickup. He's probably above average defensive center for us a backup getting nance junior in there as well Nor impala the three. You know they're one through three are still pretty miserable. As far as the starters but having nance's a sub i think is good. Now nansen covington merkich like those guys could miss time. And that's maybe where things kind of fall apart anthony. Anthony simon still really sucks on defense otis. Ben michael moore who they brought in. Tony snell is pretty blah there. He's probably gonna get two minutes as a backup so you know. I don't think they're going to be world beaters. But could they get into like the high teens. Low twenty s. I think that's realistic. And i think they're to be top five on up so that to me is going to get them to more than forty three and a half wins. I'm not. I'm not going towards the stratosphere with these guys and i also worry that lillard just can't continue to play quite this level you know we've said that the last two years leslie because he keeps getting better every year in the near like a wait a minute like he asked his targeting worse at some point but Shooting does age pretty well. Cj looked really bad in the playoffs. I thought he never really looked in great shape after coming back from that foot. A what kind of year he has. I think is going to be really important. But cj after that start healing played at four forty seven games last year and nurture only played thirty seven right the the wrist issue so I think though that because of the way they went out to denver in the playoffs and because of the negative with lillard and maybe thought that he could again ask for trade. Obviously if that happens then they're going to go under but they'll go under whatever the fuck their line is if he they would have already been going under his my kinda thought on it like i don't think i don't think the blazers are going to trade damian lillard if they're over five hundred and they're competing in the west like they might in the offseason but i don't think they would during the year. Well i mean i. It's really what's matter whether he asked for a traitor. And i mean they're five games over and they're just not happening for them. 'cause that's a thought on this right is that you're really gonna like what's going to be good enough for damian lillard at this point in time. Is it going to be good enough. Like i mean. Unless if they're not on peace for homecourt advantage then maybe he does ask for the trade and then so i. I'm not sure about that. Actually danny that you wouldn't ask for the trade unless it looked like they were going under anyway because i think finally his standards are a little bit higher. You know this just looks like yet another one of these same years that they've been having all these times then maybe it's a little different so so that is a risk here like this isn't going to be one of my best butts to go over but i think i don't wanna price in like him getting traded. I don't think that's a good way to do it. You just gotta try to make the decision based on who's of available in what you think that group is going to do so. I think that you know. I mean it's one thing if we're talking about philly where ben simmons like. I'm not even going to be in camp. But here i think i will go over. I'm going over as well. I think i'm a little more confident in it than you. But i'm also not sure i'm gonna put it one of my best bats. We'll see you all shake all that out when we actually get there. Instead we can go to the phoenix suns. The reigning western conference champions. The sons last year had the differential of a sorry they won. They went fifty one in twenty one day at the differential over an eighty two game season. A fifty six win team and they are gonna be without dario charge for the year. But they didn't have any what i would call high end departures. They lost a couple of smaller guys. brought javale mcgee peyton landry shamet in a trade and vegas is negative on negative on where they're going to go because drops all the way to fifty point five wins. I think part of that is because the sons were so incredibly healthy last year during the regular season bridges booker. Paul eytan all played sixty.

"Slash review series breaking down the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks to move the moves that they've made during the off season. What we think it's going to mean for them during this season, we're going to answer a bunch of questions as we go along the first and foremost, Keith Smith and I obviously we were on the same page because we both decided to wear blue shirts for today's show. I think that's a good omen Keith. Blue polo. What's wrong with the blue T-shirt, but I threw on the polo. I wanted to look good for you today. I felt that was a little sloppy. Last time. So I wanted to look good for you. Well, no kidding blue was always my first date shirt. In fact, I wore a blue shirt, my first date with my wife, so I always felt like a blue shirt had to be in some way a lucky color or something like that. So I think that that means this is going to be an absolutely great show today. Well, it was going to be anyway, but it certainly doesn't hurt at all. By the way, we do need to mention, speaking of things that are going well right now, we are as of this moment. It's gonna be different by the time we finish this show, but we're a 150 subscribers away from hitting our 10,000 marks and thank you to everybody who has subscribed to this show. We certainly appreciate it. If you haven't done so yet, make sure you do subscribe and turn on those notifications as well. Keith for no other reason than I've got this graphic up already, why don't we kick things off with the Atlanta Hawks? Let's break down what they did during this past off season, what it's going to mean for them during the season and everything else in between. Perfect. So we'll do guys is if you watch the other video where we did this with the Chicago Bulls and Portland trailblazers. We're going to go through who they added who they lost, who they retained, if there were other changes and transactions that happened with the franchise and we're going to ask a whole bunch of questions to each other and get into it. So starting out with the Atlanta Hawks, players added, relatively quiet off season, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. They added in Sharif Cooper on a two way contract. Gorgie Jiang came in. Jalen Johnson was drafted and then delon Wright. Point guard picked up via trade where they sent two guys who were gone now, Christopher and Bruno Fernando went to the Boston self interest in Thompson to the Sacramento Kings in the hawks, get delonge right. So flipping over to the guys that they lost. They already mentioned Dunham Fernando, Brandon Goodwin remains unsigned, Nathan knight signed a two way with the Minnesota Timberwolves. So he in effect is replaced by Sharif Cooper and then Tony Snell signed a one year minimum contract with the Portland trailblazers. So 5 guys out, four guys in. And then they did pretty good work of retaining some of their own free agents. We won't run through all the names that they retained here because you can read them and see them yourself. But the guys they resigned, John Collins was resigned. That was the big one. Obviously, that was the major reasoning, but Solomon hill a key role player for them, especially when they had injuries to guys at the forward line like Deandre hunter, then Lou Williams was resigned, a little bit of backcourt, depth there, another score. It then Skylar maze was brought back on another two way contract. So hawks roster, pretty well finished. They've got one open spot if they wave their camp in white guys and in that..

"Really improved his shooter over the last few years to the point where I feel pretty good about him knocking down 35% of his spot threes. So this is a deal that makes a lot of sense for the Portland trailblazers. I actually think that it doesn't totally reshape their team, but it fills multiple holes in a way that the off season prior to this acquisition just did not. I would be terrified if I was the Portland trailblazers prior to this Larry dance deal of going into a season with just use of nurkic and Cody zeller as my bigs. And Larry Nance is not an enormous big man by any stretch. And I think that if one of Yusuf nurkic or Cody zeller gets hurt, the blazers are probably gonna have to sign a true center in order to counteract that. The problem for Portland here is that that true center is something that is important in their scheme. So to have only gone into this off season prior to this deal having Cody zeller and Yusuf nurkic on the roster. I think was kind of a strange move given their injury histories. it, on the wing, they really only went out and got Tony Snell, and I know that Tony Snell had a great year last season shooting the ball. I think he went 50 50 like 95 or something like that from the free throw line because of limited attempts. But he's a very limited player. He's a decent three and D guy. He probably will be able to be their 8th man, but this is a team that even with Larry Nance, I think is still ripe for a shake up in some regard. The team is now given Norman Powell this 5 year $90 million deal in addition to the enormous deals given out the Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. And I don't know that we know if those three can play together on a playoff court, quite yet. While Norman Powell is extremely long and has a 7 foot wingspan and his strong for his size, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum and Norman Powell across the front line or across the backcourt seems like a way for teams to get their bigger shot making wings in the playoffs matched up on to smaller players that they can take advantage of. Now, what acquiring Larry Nance does is it allows you to counteract that by taking one of Lillard McCollum, Powell off the court and in this case it would probably be Powell. It also counteracts for potential injuries, which CJ McCollum only played about 50 games last year. So I think that being able to play a more traditional lineup because you have Larry Nance now that can play the four. Is specifically helpful..

"Ultimately that is what he would lose. The sounds good and sentimentally speaking. I would agree with you. Should damian lillard stay sentimentally connected to the portland trailblazers. I get that. If that's the question should dame lillard stay loyal to portland damian lillard to stay loyal to dame dame lillard needs to dane dollars check out who commercial stuff out dame dollars cash. What takes you chase in. The bag is what you chastened ring. Jason is a part of it chasing all. Mba is a part of it. Jason hall of fame is a part of it. Dan lillard does not lose. That he leaves portland to say that daimler loses his brilliance in his greatness due to location is to diminish what dame lillard is a cold killer on that would court dame lillard is and when i think about this i think about another guy a few guys. That really came mind that i was like you know what they were loyal to their team. They was loyal to the soil. Stayed there and kept balling. I'm not going nowhere. I'm gonna get my game on. One of my favorite players ever cabinet a lot of ways. Ramaz me like how a dame lillard is loyal tough about his business. Go to work. Kevin garnett everybody was looking at k. G. like get there. Please go somewhere where you can win. Caja wanna do it. He wanted to make it right in minnesota. He wanted to make them boys boys. Just like we're talking about dame lillard for all the k. jeez and ray allen's that decide to leave and go somewhere else for the lebron. James is that lee and chris bosh leave and decide to go somewhere else in the paul. Pierce is that leave and go somewhere else. There are a whole bunch of dudes that stayed and they stayed so long. Karl malone and john stockton and gary payton they stayed soul long trying to win it and being loyal they realize i gotta i gotta go try to win a ring for me. I got i gotta do this for me. Dumb fairs ain't going. The fans will still be there and they will still love daimler. If he comes back and visits home they will still be daimler fans you know what a real fan would say about dame lillard if he went to somewhere else now. The one point that you make is good. Where does he go. I thought the seventy sixers situation could be a good one for daimler. Where does he go. That's a great question. But if he goes and he goes to get a championship. Those fans should be chairing and rooting him on. Because you couldn't put it together. Hey takes them to the to the to the playoffs every year. They go all the time and they lose they lose all the time if he decides before he loses all of that pop in bounce and vigor and his legs and his body if he decides he want to go somewhere else to try to win. There should be no hate. There should be no saying his brand is ruin. there should be saying that his brilliance is gone. It should be damian. Lillard is taking his talents elsewhere in the attempt to try to win somewhere else. I wish i had thought that way. Dang sure took too long for me to come to that conclusion. During the good years of my career back loyalty so overrated in the nba is comical. And i also think it's comical. The rick is like dame needs guarantees. Listen my parents are watching the show right now. They love when. I say this because they would say to me all the time. There's no guarantees in life. Rick death and taxes. That's it that's it. There's no guarantee that danes gonna win a championship when he goes to philly or boston or wherever act but but overall the big butts hard choices easy life. The hard choice for dame lillard is to leave. That's the hard choice to leave. And say i gotta leave and like you said the fans are going to hate him. They're going to go against him. They're going to burn his jersey. We're gonna see that crap on social media. That's hard choice but daimler doesn't want to be here ten years from now sitting on a tv set with us chopping it up man. I wish i had taken that chance and left. I'll never know if. I want to champion. Because we know they're not doing it in portland speaking of loyalty rick. What loyalty to portland. Show when dane said. Let's get it together. What are we doing free agency. They went out and got tony snell. That's it seriously stopped. Tony smell like the guy in milwaukee or whatever we played last year atlanta. I don't even know. It doesn't matter these irrelevant. That's what you got to get the top. This has james harden vibes written all over it remember last year hard and was like shucks man rushes gone coaches going. Gm gone what the hell am i doing here. That will smith me where you're looking around the room and everything's gone like i can see damon the first two weeks being like yo. I don't wanna battle for the play. Get me the hell out of here. Then it gets ugly the smart move the hard move. Rick is to ask out now and just move on is look loyalty. Don't exist in sports especially not the nba c. j. you're forgetting. Is that you. And i have done a show before and we've spoken on the radio. Yeah i believe we've done this show together. Before they were mistaken there was one sought toco and whether he should stay in milwaukee or he should go someplace else and you were of the mind that he needed to go someplace else. It was crazy that he would stay in milwaukee. He's never going to get it done there. It's too it's just can't happen for him. Look what they have. And what they don't have and lo and behold and say. Oh i did it. The hard way made it half way to secure is not too hard seed is the dude from oakland ultimately does it so no and yes. There are no guarantees. But there are well and i disagree with that. There's a guarantee that if he leaves portland that he loses the brand loyalty that the image of him his. Aau team the oakland rebels. They were the lesser aau team in oakland. He could've gone to the oaken soldiers. The big team. The team that lebron plate four and any number of superstar no stayed with the oakland rebels. Weaver state was the first team. I school to come after now. He blew up a senior year and there were other bigger programs. That came after him after that. He said what i'm staying with weaver state stayed there all four years.

"You really hoping that like some of these. Moses brown's sterling browns turn into like big time players in the way that some of the other guys that they've hit on you know Doors fini's smith some other starters that they've kinda mind from the depths of of nowhere. They've actually done a pretty good job of that. Really come to the four and fill out this roster. But you're right like what's next. I have no idea like us to his credit is signing up for for more of this but like there isn't a clear pathway here unless kristaps just becomes the player that they thought he would be in and set the worst in the world at the very least they have someone in hand that they could say is an all star when he's available but the problem is he's a massive human who's never available man if kristaps could just learn how to rebound and muscle up on little guys on switches. This thing would make a lot more sense for him. Anchoring the defense again if he can be good interior defender right. That'd be huge difference now all right. Let's let's close it with this question because there are a lot of things that have happened over. The past few days here Other other things that we did not talk about today. Rob that you are more. Pope perplexed by perplexed by or intrigued. By there's a lot of pressure right now on the blazers to meaningfully upgrade their roster. And here's what they've done so far. They've resigned norm powell five years. Ninety million love norm powell meant it. They signed cody zeller. Good signing especially for dead that the five love that they signed tony snell. Was your big zeller fan. I am i think he does. He does a lot of shit that you know. It won't let you on sportscenter but like when he's right he helps you team win. Great contributing the only variable zeller is health. If he's on the floor because he's on their he's he's been quite useful broke so they bring in tony. Snell a guy who both didn't miss a three pretty much all last season but also was completely out of the rotation in atlanta. I think it says a lot in terms of what that team thought of him. And they signed ben macklemore. Who's another small guard and a theoretical more up and down shooter. That's it that's fine. And if i'm damian lillard. I can't say there's anything going on there that makes me feel eager stay. Yeah means for me in a no. This is like weird like fringe thing. But i like the camp campaign. Settling twenty mil. Like i get debt like you know. There's a humility to having been a first rounder lead. The league come back to the damn summer league and finally make roster again. So you're you're offered me twenty mil. So i'm gonna take it but like just tj mcconnell. I mean he was better than that dude on. He's shown himself to be way. Better than taylor horton tucker. I would argue in the playoffs. He was obviously way better than alice. Caruso and these guys got deals way bigger than his like. I don't know. I don't know if that's like something. He agreed to way in advance et cetera et cetera. He's got to be watching this market and be like i was like legitimately a pay center and game changer in the fucking playoffs in western conference final games and these guys got like tj. Mcconnell's me come on lake. Gimme a break guys. I guess if you wanted to rationalize it maybe he saying to himself. I'll spend a couple of years under chris. Paul's wing to yell at ref manage the offense school and then once paul goes on to greener pastures becomes secretary of state. Or whatever he's gonna do after basketball he rises and becomes the starting point guard. I don't know if that's going to happen but it's not the worst thing in the world to hate yourself to team that you finally figured it out on. Is there really an ocean between devante graham and campaign. No no totally. No no. I want to circle back to to the trailblazers. Though 'cause rob us off a bunch of their moves this off season but you forgot the key ones which are kenneth farid. Michael beasley and a menu moody. All three of whom are playing for the trailblazers summer league team celled. And it's the read you know i was so a team. Usa highlight flashed across. Maybe not i think it was my tv or something from pass and ken for was on one of those teams somehow when we were calling a manual and outside jewish that dude's name again. Fuck this guy's name but you know hopefully makes it back into the league. Chelsea can't read the obscure big man who's bouncy and is in theory. Ilab threat is just like a tradition like none other. Fourteen minutes amen. There's the multiple plum probably in that category is a mess. Also snitch. myself. In say that i was a naked draft moody over porzingas.

"And i obviously i have big problems with simmons and you don't lot of his value comes from pushing the ball up and you know maybe he can then kind of find lillard. Lillard can play more off the ball in the steph curry mode. He'd on powell and transition would fit together. Well yeah no. I think that's right like and giving giving these guys some pace some easier offense. They get better defensively. They might end up taking a step back offensively but you still have lillard And simmons at least can make a playoff a short roll. If you're he's gonna screen for For dame and they wanna double team like that dame simmons pick and roll now maybe they teams would just try and switch that And then you nurkic is going to set the screen for dame whereas ben simmons standing that obviously becomes a little bit more difficult but well. Where's it only matters if you're actually getting somebody towards the basket if you're not getting something towards the basket then might actually be. Okay yeah and You know the getting better defensively. As i've said. I think ben simmons is a pre overrated defensive. Liberties still has a one of the best perimeter defenders that there is so that helps you to be sure. It's certainly better than anyone. They've had in their recently. So i think. I probably would do that if i were portland and i wouldn't philly but that's because i don't think cj. I think they would always be a better team. But i don't. I think that sets the bar too low for me. Personally i think both teams i. It's interesting. I think both portland and philly. Just have a ton of risked with simmons and with cj riley. Both of those guys could really decline. And i dunno billy if they then had that first rounder. That can do something with also as we've been saving the philly one because we actually have to do a lot of work on this on this potential servants trades though as we go through some of the other teams they might trade with where we're getting some of that done so using the mini mid level are you. What is your priority. There is it another guard. is it I'd love to get a wing if you could. But the problem is there really. Aren't that many mini mid level. Like three so that you can sometimes have pal at the to and everything and then just be a nice thing. And maybe necessarily little steps into that role. But i don't have anybody especially if otto porter were occurred as much but if you were hurt that much then you wouldn't be able to get him for the middle mini mid level. I love paul millsap with this group. You know and think about that for the main mid level will see i. He's the guy who i really have. No idea what his situation is going to be like in terms of teams that are interested in but it would. It would be good for these guys to have the the possibility of playing a little bit smaller on the second unit and having a little more versatility. Yeah i mean jeff greener. Pj tucker could also do. Some of that tucker. I think we'll have offers. That are superior. He shouldn't or whatever especially because they have been is not guaranteed that he would start or close games for portland so and it's not like portland is a tier one championship contender. Like pg tiger. Damn well better. Better have superior yeah. I don't think they're going to have the scratch relief to get into the wing market other than just you know kinda your your tony snell's your tori craig's garrett temples like those lower lower and guys you know they bring back. Yeah that could be interesting. I think you would be a decent fit. I i mean you could like old. Shay has his favorite try. Like you could see. Once rodney hood gets way that they'd bring him back at the minimum. A guy who i think would be a very nice fit with. These guys is Langston galloway play on that kind of seth curry role from a couple years ago. They never really were able to replace him off the bench. I think that's all. I got these guys though. Any else you wanted to add. I don't think they're going to trade off season. We gotta watch what about that old. But he ago especially with with phillips being there and like i don't know what the paradigm shift would be for him but i'm not guaranteeing that they will start the twenty twenty two twenty three season with lord. Maybe there's a deal at the deadline. There's a deal around the draft next year. But those mega deals are so hard to pull off. And i think i. I don't know if willard has seen enough whether he is at the point. Now where it's like. It's definitely not gonna might need one more year for that. Yeah it doesn't seem like anybody is ready to really now to say that it's it's for sure time now if they start next to your poorly then maybe that's where it comes to a head around the train deadline but it doesn't seem like it's quite there yet..

I loved it back in the day when it came out and then what? You watch something, Jones. Someone tweeted us after he played last time. It sounds sounds right. Let me Google that here you throw throw it to a call here. Welcome back. It's let's go to Steve and Joliet, Steve here on ESPN 1000. Hey, guys. Um, I was thinking, Isaiah Thomas. Had that great run with the Celtics and the playoffs and then got replaced by Kyrie. What do you guys think? It's not bad. I mean, he was really good. He was a good player. That was a longer head. I mean, Then the the hip injury like someone mentioned Nate Robinson on Twitter for the Bulls, the Bulls, part of Nate Robinson, all those point guards. Yeah, DJ Augustine kind of made a DJ. Obviously, he still had an extended each one more. Who's a Phoenix sun? Because they know he's on the bench. There. This this NBA playoffs has been a bunch of Boles former role players who all of a sudden Contribute. Now It's the latest is Bobby Portis. We've been talking about campaign for the last week or two. Now. Everyone's like in on Bobby Portis. I know everyone. The Twitter sphere wants to support Cameron pain, but I'm going to support Chris done in his efforts. There are crystal Yeah. Yes, He is on the bench. Yes, I believe. I think I could quick reference this the roster. I believe Tony Snell place of the Hawks to he does. Yes. He just never plays insane with done, neither of them play. But I mean that that just goes to show you how deep some of these teams are that Players who were like legit role players for the Bulls, who are not very good. They're not even getting into conference final games. In that vein, the Hawks I think this is more of a two hit wonder. There were two months in Nikko Merit Pictures career where he like that was a hitter. You know you're right. You think that he was going to be a star? First of all March of his rookie year when the team was good under Tibbs? He had this unbelievable heater that I thought he was going to be Dirk Nowitzki. It was unbelievable. We'd waited for Nico so long And then just on the brink of the place And then tips didn't want to play him. But he sort of knew that that was the heater. Then after Bobby Port has punched him in the face, remember when he came back that December when you and I both wanted them to be tanking? Yeah, and I think the Bulls went like 13 and six that month. Thanks to Nico Mirotic's scoring, like and like we had see Red Fred, Don't try Nico and Dustin him. We've got to sign him. He's good. He's finally blossoming Do didn't even play in the league last year? No, I know he chose to go to Europe. No, I know that's what I'm saying is like like he doesn't. He's not punitive. Yeah, like I'm just going to go back. Alan 90 year on ESPN 1000 What's up, pal? What's going on, guys. Happy Holiday weekend. Thank you. You too. So yes, I want to wonder would be Philip Numbers perfect game. That's a good one. I mean in Seattle, right? Isn't that where he threw the perfect game? Yeah, it was. It was unbelievable.

"Bucks and Hawks start the NBA Eastern Conference finals tomorrow night at five survey game again, you right here on WTMJ, the Bucks and Hawks. When you think of great NBA rivalries that really doesn't make the list in the same breath of like, say, you know, Lakers Celtics riven Bulls Pistons, but they do have, uh, history. The two teams. In fact, there is some Milwaukee in the Hawks. Um, of course, we know the current stuff there's coach but who left Atlanta to come to Milwaukee thinking the Hawks were going to be part of a big rebuild? Well, that didn't take all that long did it And now look who's getting bigger in the Bucks windshield? Yeah, It's pretty crazy. How quickly they've turned things around and to be fairly hawks did go through a rebuild. It was just very expedited, and they just took out another team that went through a pretty prominent rebuilding the Philadelphia 76 years. They dubbed it the process, and now it looks like they're going to be processing once again, blowing it up and starting it over again. Our friend Dennis Crosby from Spectrum News, one, also part of the box and Packers, radio networks, points out the other obvious roster ties. Bogdan Bogdanovic, who was supposed to be a buck that trade fell through and word got up but lost the draft. Pick for tampering and Bogdanovich ends up with, Of course, Atlanta Although he's got a bum knee, I guess he may not play. He's kind of questionable about it. Yes, so he's a little dinged up and everybody is at this point. He only scored four points in the game 71 that the Hawks had over the six years Taylor Night Hawks also sport former Milwaukee guard 20 Snow, I guess doesn't play all that much, but he's on the team. Yeah, we've got some big Tony Snow fans in the building here really good buddy Ashton Rottmann, one of our producers down the hallway. He's like the chief of the Packers radio network behind the scenes. So if you're listening in the fall, give him a little love. He's a big Tony Snell guy. One other connection. Jeff Teague was on a lot of those Mike Budenholzer Hawks teams in like 2014, 15 16. Somewhere in there he is on the box roster. He hasn't played a whole heck of a lot since being acquired late in the season, but another tangential connection between the two squads. I totally forget about the most obvious connection between these two communities. Are these two teams at least and that is the fact that the Atlanta Hawks ruins the Milwaukee Hawks. They started out in the old days of the various leagues that were professional in the fifties in late forties, including Sheboygan, which had a team in the what would become the NBA for a few seasons. They were the Tri City Blackhawks. The Hawks were based in Moline, Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa, and they all grew. The Tri cities came to Milwaukee, where there was a brand new arena, waiting the one downtown that we go to now for Admirals games, and they were awful. They were bad teams until they drafted Bob 1954. Then they got good after they moved to ST Louis. So that was our like in the NBA, But yeah, And then the bucks came along in 1968. Well, there you go.

"In the series against what is it ostensibly the best defense in the NBA, in my opinion. So great point, I I just kind of look at it and I thought, okay, this is going to be fun with tray. I think he's going to kill it, but at the same token, like Bogdan bogdanovic goes down and was not very effective in the series. Like I thought that was actually a critical part of any upset in Atlanta would pool. I thought that he would need to play really well. They got some performances from em early in the series, but by the end of the series is he was just acting up too much to where he couldn't play the under Hunter's out like wage earner. And this is like Don right now, for the playoffs, those are two guys plus, obviously camera. She was in an enormous part of this rebuild with the pic that they took in addition to Trey young in the Luka doncic trade, that's three guys that they're not really getting anything out of that are huge pieces of this team and I think it's a credit to the way that Travis schlenk Built the roster that yeah, they miss those guys but it's not a death knell for them because Kevin huerter has been great, click Appel has been pretty good and he at least dealt with the fact that you're well presented him and force him into those like mid-range shots. I think John, spectacular in Johnston. Yeah, I mean, it's made himself a lot of money off, I think. Yeah and and the Neo hit just enough shots in, Gallinari was really good in specific matchups. That's the thing that I think Nate McMillan has done really well. He is targeting, specific, matchups that, okay, we have a lot of guys that can go out and get Buckets. If Seth Curry is sitting on Kevin huerter, we're going to just attack with Kevin huerter. If Faith Hill is sitting on fanello. Gallinari. Yeah, you damn. Well better believe that we're going to attack with Danilo Gallinari and the reason that they can do that is because they have so much spacing on the court because John Collins is at least dog. Reasonable three point shooter, you know obviously Kevin huerter, Trae young, you know even like when Tony Snell comes in Tony Snell, obviously hit.

"They were outscored by five in seven minutes there. But that wasn't that wasn't the margin in the same way that it was before and part of that was. I thought not perfect minutes. But i thought hooligan helped helped out and the staggering of embiid shifting. His minutes around created some truly weird offensive collections for the sixers and there were points when they got a couple stops that they were able to get offense and transition but simmons and howard being out there together and ivy. There was one time where tobias harris tried to do a drive and he actually got a little bit of separation but then he couldn't get anywhere because we're already four guys standing in the paint. Yeah it was definitely difficult. Be neither team. Could hit anything from in the fact honestly. The hawks probably should have won the series by more in the end. Like i felt like they should have one game six They should have won game. Four by more And like they shot the three ball terribly in the series for what's essentially a good three point shooting team and bogdonovich was basically a shell by the end. Obviously they didn't even have one hundred begin with embiid. I mean. I think we can kinda shift to just it will. Obviously we got plenty of time before wednesday to talk about hawks. Box by the way your Championship favourite milwaukee bucks by the way even more so now maybe than they were after last night or the. I certainly think that the sons would give them a very good story and could win that but embiid the injury. I think definitely hurt. You know we didn't get to see him. Go against a real defense in this blouse. The hawks found ways and capella. It got better as the series went along. But you can say it was the injury which obviously is part of the whole calculation with joel embiid as well as you try to think about how good he is and you know this game. He was thirty one points. Eleven twenty one seven to ten from the foul line but he had a turnovers and so he wasn't really able whether it's the injury or just the nature of being a senator and having to play as many minutes as he has to and wearing down or maybe not being still in the greatest condition of that he ultimately didn't do enough in this series and yes he wasn't the worst culprit. He wasn't playing that far below norms. But for this sixers team to be a championship contender. He had to play like the best player in basketball. Like he. kinda dead during the regular season and unimpeded unambiguously the best part in the series and embiid was that but then the other times that he was not and for embiid like there there were significant moments in this game where he is his room. Deterrence was was a real thing and that atlano work taking. They weren't taking their shots spook them. Sometimes even when embiid was not there but then there were at the beginning of the third quarter trae was able to generate. Looks not for himself but by getting and this isn't entirely mb tall some of it is the separation that trae young was getting but he was able to draw 'em being away a little bit and then they were able to get baskets at In for example in the third quarter six of seven for atlanta they're inequality where they couldn't make three. They were over four from long distance. And so i'm not saying like is the reason that that all that stuff happened but he wasn't able to prevent it. The hawks figured out a couple of little tricks that it's you you exploited and that's also something we've talked about in terms of the limitations of a rim protector of central defense and so embiid had his dominant moments. And in this game. I you know he there were there. Were points where it's like. Oh they don't really have much stop in my thought it especially in the very early going and beads offense which really good and he was getting all the shots on cappella but overall in the second half and got fouled a few times but three shots in the paint six midrangers four threes and he shot well on those. But you could see that. He wasn't that that's what he wanted. And that's what you would ever going crazy on the live. Show where like capello's conceded a couple of the shots and then when gala nari nari did concede it but then embiid didn't take it. Get the steel that changes the game and gallo probably needs to get some more credible. I thought his first quarter. Or maybe like you know probably. Has i five six minutes. That he was in was just atrocious. Defensively at a bunch of places. We didn't know who he had. He was not closing out on guys away. Needed to use getting blown by. Add a couple of just atrocious. Mrs on jumpers early but then after that he hit six of eleven three of seven from three he was able to get just enough ice work on george hill to just give them a couple of points. It wasn't it wasn't like oh man that we're going to run the offense through him all the time but just with trae out of the game just to get a couple of buckets there. I mean in a game where. Every bucket counted also nate mcmillan. I thought coached a pretty good game. This time he learned. I think from leaving trae young on the bench too long in the fourth quarter game six went back to him after affiliate went on a run for you know really i think it was only a minute and a half or so that trait rusted. He played forty three minutes. Which is probably the most he realistically could have. Played a in this game seven. So i thought he managed he managed mcdonagh bitch wall. Got him just a couple of minutes. They needed someone to just eat. Those innings played a little defense tobias harris to start the game. But also you know didn't fall in love with them. Went with gallo at the three. Just going to gallo at the three at all in this series rather than solomon hill or tony snell. Both of whom didn't play while. Obviously but you know he got to that really by game three. That was the way he went to play. Gallo three and against this particular team. That was able to work out. So i thought i don't. I wouldn't say that. Like doc rivers coached a bad series in this game. You know people talk pointed to some collapses like game five south but That he should have done more. But i think it's again if you had to put it on the coach or the limitations of the roster. I i'm putting it on the limitations of the roster i well. That's a good transition into ben simmons and we could start with the staff that tom average show tweeted out. That ben simmons took three field goals in the attempts in the fourth quarter of this entire series and that was to in game one which he made and one in game three no shots from the field in four five six seven. And i thought what are the most telling moments of this entire hall man. This was atrocious. Was when simmons got it was with gallinari. Gallon goes for what you. And i had a little bit different theories on it but i thought it was galadari. Basically saying okay. I'm going to swipe for the steel. And if i don't get steel i'm going to and i don't care instead. Neither of those happens. Simmons has a wide open dunks. Closest guy to him is trae. Young and simmons doesn't go up for the dunk doesn't try anything. He just dumps it off to takaiser. I wanna say was actually write. It wasn't able that's true. It's not even it's like a great i mean the esa. He's got it. He been position at dunkin. Who's right in the remedy certainly could have just laid it in and he sees trae coming over. Who's just going to go for a stripper. something probably would have just fouled him but he was terrified. He just didn't want to go up. He didn't wanna get fouled. I think he is always loathed to put thoughts in other people's heads when we talk about this but you can't conclude anything else in that situation and he had a number of hot potato plays every once in a while you'd see him try and push it and but because you're as as his teammate if he's just going to stand along the baseline old on i did have the thirteen assists but most that was just starting the offense quote unquote starting the offense with like a hand off to curry. Who would then go into a pick and roll her hand off with embiid and then kind of getting out of the way or decent in transition but him actually attacking to try and put the basketball in the basket. The point of basketball was so few and far between and then every once in a while we do it but like his teammates aren't prepared for him to do that. Like you got to have an understanding of what your teammates normally do in a situation so when he did attack you know..

"Sixty five million. Come on down yeah. It's a great question. And maybe somebody like the knicks comes out of the woodwork. But i don't think of him as a particularly great fit their otto porter when he's healthy he can look. He can look like he could really help a good team. We saw there were times that he really elevated the bulls but auto quarter played three hundred minutes in nineteen twenty and six hundred minutes this year. So i think the oil will probably play twelve hundred minutes next year. There we go trending up and so that so. That's a real challenge. You know in terms of getting a real. I think team could get real value on him if he can stay healthy if they ask him to do a little bit less other former wizard. Trevor rees up could have some interest. He sat out most of this year spy pig under contract and then ended up with the miami heat. He was okay but definitely not great for them. He is current heat teammate. Andre dolla has a team option. Which you and. I both expect the heat's declined because it's worth fifteen million dollars. It would always not worth that at this point. No and it does seem like many of these guys. Arista also got wes matthews as well you know are gonna sign in that annual exception to veteran's minimum type of range and porter i it seems like but my guess would be comes back to just be in this small mix in orlando next year like they did not buy him out of his twenty eight million dollar salary so they have bird rights on him. They also have no cap space. So it's kind of one of those things where it was with rudy gay for a few years with the spurs where. It's like. pay him a decent salary on a short term deal to just come back let improve prove it a little bit maybe you can trade him although they would have to go with a two year deal otherwise would have a trade veto power there with His potentially losing his bird rights. But that's like that. Seems like he didn't buy out there and wanna buy out there and also he had this food issue as well that that seems like he probably would go back to orlando but the way when healthy. Yeah sure he's probably worth ten million dollars a year but you just. You can't believe in that at this point and tony snell and other guy. I mean these are all sort of either beholder guys who you know they could get. Maybe they get like one year seven million. Maybe they get the minimum depends what team. It is depends. Who else is out there. You've got torrey. Craig in this mix. He's already thirty. Doug mcdermott actually could get more with this market for shooters being higher finishing up Three year twenty two million dollar deal with the pacers seems like the pacers really want to have him back though and they bird rights on him and and they also wouldn't really have much way to replace him You know they have a few tax concerns there. They've got about fourteen million below the tax bill already have twelve guys under contract including a draft. Pick so i think that it probably makes the most sense for mcdermott. Come back there. And that indiana they could use the mid level instead. But i think like a bench small forward and kevin pritchard saying. Oh he's all in on what we're doing. It's the other problem is they. Would you rather bring back. Tj mcconnell or doug mcdermott if you could only have one if you're the pacers when their full strength actually think what mcconnell brings might be more but the problem is you can find a passable like minimum salary point guard backup point guard. Who can't start a lot easier than you can find a shooting forward your needs. Mcdermott has a nice chemistry That would just feels like it's kind of trending towards Him being back in indiana The dirk jones junior player option is a really interesting one. I would imagine he's going to opt into that because you think he wouldn't really have much of a market and maybe also. The new coach in portland might better Still i if he opts out. I can't imagine him getting that much or getting a multi year deal at this point to about ten million for next. We had the oneplus one. At the mid level. there's also the justice winslow team option ugly and and that option just people. No that's thirteen million dollars. And it makes the difference between the grizzlies likely staying under the cap and functioning as an over the captain because if they pick up the option don't move any of their salary pretty much have around in the range of the mid level exception so in that circumstance you typically stay over just to stay a little bit more flexible in there. There isn't there. Isn't anyone that sexy me for the grizzlies that they could get in the twenty million dollar range like i wouldn't and particularly if you're going to have to go twenty million and go out and yours. There's there's a bigger compounding factor there which is that the guy that spending that over multiple years puts the grizzlies into difficulty for twenty two when they could actually have real money and have some momentum to get to get somebody now. There will be more competition presumably in two thousand twenty two but memphis. You know maybe they had a deeper playoff run or something and and also they'll have a better idea of which of their own players. They want to kind of keep around. So i don't expect i don't expect them to make noise with their cap space whether that includes winslow or not you'll probably glossed over nick batum a little bit too much in his situation because he signed for the minimum with the clippers. The most they'll be able to pay him is pretty likely the taxpayer mid level assuming that comes back yet because non burg rights are basically useless. Unless he's willing to sign for close to the minimum a little stronger case because his minimum is so high but not very much. Yeah and actually probably got assume serge. Ibaka is going to opt in as well. But i think to to me should get offers for like you know jae crowder money. The way now the way that he just completely let himself go. And charlotte is a little bit of a concern. But i think if he's on a real team than maybe that would that would change 'em you know. Certainly you would think he would have offers for three years that the taxpayer mid level given the way he's played a this year and you know any number of teams. Obviously that would want to jump in on that and he would be a great fit and golden state. Good fit with the lakers depending on re signing some of their guys. I'm sure the nets would like to throw their taxpayer..
NBA Front Office w/ Keith Smith & Trevor Lane
"tony snell" Discussed on NBA Front Office w/ Keith Smith & Trevor Lane
"Not a big salary. It is only four point 1 million because of that that makes them hard to trade really hard. You can't take back Tim Hardaway Jr. The the Hawks don't have a big exception. Now with the Hawks do have is they've got Tony Snell's twelve point two million dollar expiring that could kind of work as a, you know, human trade exception wage. That they could send back and in in you know attach it to Collins, but I see a lot of John Collins and stuff there Hawks can't take back a big salary just for John Collins. Now off. The other thing is I I don't hate Collins to the Mavericks Collins porzingis looka-here pretty shy D actively I'm being able to stop anybody but offensive League. Good luck. Yo, I mean that's you know, Luke is now going to pick and roll pin can pop Partners to work with it. Just wonder it's Collins and porzingis a little too duplicative. Where did you want all those two in that same line-up, but as we're seeing more and more stretch, you'll stretch the floor space the floor open things up. You'd have to load up then everybody else would have to be three and do you guys all over the floor and then still are short of playmaker off the dribble, but I don't hate that idea. So last thing I'll say sorry go ahead and one more thing the maps do you have pics they can trade they just have to work around some pic protection off. A little complicated so it'd be like deliver this two years after this one is traded in those kind of things. They could do that. You don't have to wait until a pic is actually traded. You just have to work plus they could also trade the part that's not protected. They still have that ability to do to if they wanted to do that. So sorry, I I just wanted to make sure I get that so value wise, I don't know if that's enough for a language to give up John Collins. I mean he's going to be restricted right? Like worst case scenario you hold on to them and you just try to flip him next year. If you decide that look this just really doesn't work. I mean you'd be better off just paying him and am getting trying to get more for him later on so value wise or just paying or just just keep em, cuz yeah, he's a great he's very very good player. So I don't see that as being enough in return for them on College..
