Mac McClung soars to slam dunk title at All-Star Saturday
"Mac mcclung was in the G league at the start of the week, jumped all the way up to become the NBA slam dunk champion as part of the annual skills competition in Salt Lake City. Mcclung signed to a two way contract by the 76ers on Tuesday, scored a perfect 50 on three of its four dunks, including the two in the final against the pelicans trade Murphy the third. It's really a blur to be honest with you. I think probably a lot of stuff's happening on the Internet and everything I haven't checked, but really just grateful. I had a lot of help. A much more established player, the blazers Damian Lillard won the three point shooting competition over a pair of pacers, buddy healed in tyrese Halliburton. I'm Tom mariam.

I'm rob bushkin. This is a Bloomberg money minute. It's been one year since Abbott nutrition recalled four infant formula products and temporarily shut down its largest U.S. factory due to bacterial contamination. That made an existing formula shortage, exacerbated by the pandemic supply chain issues even worse. The shortage persists to this day, as recently as January, the U.S. Census found nearly a third of households of the baby under one said they still had trouble finding formula. Laura Modi is the founder and CEO of Bobby, a direct to consumer baby formula company. Fundamentally, we have not addressed the problem, which is domestic supply domestic manufacturing. Modi says that's because Abbott, the maker of similac formula, and enfamil producer wreck it control 85% of the market. And those two players have owned the incongruent market for over 40 years. The results Modi says, very little innovation and no competition, which has resulted in the complacency that we see today. Tracing John key, Bloomberg radio Welcome to Bloomberg opinion.

Sun's coach Monty Williams. I thought DA's energy effort, the Jews, the communication on the glass. I thought it gave everybody a ton of whatever you want to call it. Especially on a back to back.

"Is a 100% healthy, I mean he's an all star, he's an all NBA candidate, like there's a lot of, you know, a lot of accolades coming Zion's way if he can stay healthy. I mean, he would be my obvious choice if we're going to put someone like him on this list. it's interesting. So as you noted mobley Cunningham, Edwards Zion. But then they also receiving votes. It just kind of reflects how people view this like Anthony Davis got some votes, and it's like, well, Anthony Davis is an established perennial star when healthy, but GMs are clearly looking at this as all right, here's a guy who had a really rough season and struggled with injury whatever and they're expecting a bounce back. Rudy Gobert somehow got a vote or two. I don't know. It was probably one vote. These are probably all one vote each to be honest. But that's kind of weird. How is Rudy Gobert at the stage of his career having a breakout season? Is Tim Conley voting for his own guys? I don't think you could that was happening. Calvin. It was Justin zanuck voting voting for Rudy after he traded him. Yeah, yeah. Tyrese Halliburton got a vote. That's a good choice. Kamina got a vote. I think that's interesting choice. Tyrese maxi, Ben Simmons got a vote. You know, again, missed an entire season and so it's kind of the, he's gonna bounce back and be great again and maybe be in the running for all NBA again. So it's interesting. I mean, the ones that they picked are mostly the younger guys who have shown some flashes and are ready to really burst out, right? That makes sense to me. I think those are all good names to have on that list. I got no issues there. Yeah. All right, the best player at each position. Most of these no surprise, Steph Curry as the best point guard, Kevin Durant as the best small forward Giannis as the best power forward jokic gets the nod as the best center. I did think was interesting, Howard? Best shooting guard in the NBA. Yeah. Devin Booker with Phoenix gets 45%. Luka Dončić is second at 28%. But he was the GM's favorite to win MVP. I don't quite follow that logic. How about this? How is Devin Booker the best two guard when Luca is the MVP? Are we not, I guess you could say are we not qualifying Luca as a point guard? He's splitting votes at multiple positions. That one kind of threw me. So there's a lot of confusion potential with these, right? So part of this is, look, we are in this, it's not a positionless era. It's a position fluid era. I hate when people say it's not positionless. Positions still exist to an extent. They're just more fluid than they've ever been. Finished second among for best point guard. He finished second for best shooting guard. He finished third for best small forward. So we know like Luca is built like a small forward, but he plays like a point guard and is usually listed as point guard. He is their point guard. Buddy scores enough that I guess some people at shooting guard on their ballots, Jayson Tatum, the aforementioned Jason Tatum also received a vote for best shooting guard and Jason Tatum has never really been a guard in this league by any stretch, right? He's always been never.

"I really think that I think that ivy is in like a different stratosphere than Keegan and Ben Matthew and I really like Mather and a lot. I shouldn't say he's in a different stratosphere than Ben. But if Ben was to go like 5 or something like that and then you have Keegan 6. I would rather have IV, I think than brogden and Murray because I think that highly of Jaden and his upside and the fit there moving forward. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting. I don't know what to do there yet. To me, like that is, that's what I don't know. The kings are the hard one right now. And the pacers are like the second hardest one because I've heard a lot of different names there too. From sources around the league in terms of who they could like. I think that they would take Mather in at 6, but I'm not a 100% clear on that. I'm with you. And I would throw a Detroit in there too. I feel more comfortable. I felt more comfortable three weeks ago about who they would pick than I do today. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, this is what happens. Yeah. Okay. We've got what else here with the Indiana Pacers. Is the question is like, are you are you fully actualizing Malcolm Brogdon's trade value if you just do like 6 and four for 6 in brogden for four? Or like constructions around that where it's like frog and goes to the wizards and you get ten and then at 6 and ten for four and it's a number of different things, right? Like essentially you're trading brogden and 6 for four. I think you are because I think that Malcolm is that good or I think that Jaden is that I was gonna say if you think Jaden's that good, you just go get your guy. But like let's like game playing this out a little bit more. Like if you're the pacers, maybe you can get number 6, you take Ben Mather in number ten, you take Johnny Davis or something like that. You know the back core of tyrese Halliburton, Ben Mather and Chris duarte, Johnny Davis with miles Turner in the middle. That's a pretty fun core. That's a really interesting one, I think. I'm with you. I think that's the route that pacer should go..

"What's the foundation? They could use another shooter, right? Sure. So then what you do is you go out and do you move number 6 and look, I don't think I would do this, but if I was the kings and they are considering this and the blazers are sitting there at number 7 and they have Jeremy grant and they want Jeremy grant, right? And maybe they move number 7 for Jeremy grant, do you move number 6 for Jeremy grant then? As a lot of pieces, I think I take number 6. I would. I would rather have number 6 than Jeremy grant personally, but I wonder if the pressure to win there is so much, you know, you pick up crystal water, you pick up Jeremy grant. That's a pretty good draft haul like to help you win games tomorrow at the end of the day. If the future a little bit because you also don't know how often well, I guess the kids are always kind of in this range, but you don't know how often you're going to get a pick and I'd say top 5, but not top 6 range. It doesn't happen. Every single year shouldn't happen every single year, and now you win and now you're the 9th pick. I don't know if that really moved the needle enough. Yeah, let me be clear. If I was the kings, I would just take Jade and ivy at the end of the day. Even though I don't think it's the best fit because they have the air and Fox, they have davion Mitchell. I would still just take Jade and ivy and then figure out what to do over the course of the next 6 months or maybe even over the course of the next month. I really strongly consider just moving deer and fox, right? But I also am cognizant that they seem to want to win and I wonder if that's a way to do it. I'm just trying to come up with ideas at the end of the day. Yeah, I'm an ideas, man. As much as you are an ideas guy, the reason I'm laughing is now this is the second time you've done this. You've read my bullet points for the player or the team right before I did it for like a different player. No. Are we good with our fit here? Let's go. So next guys, Keegan Murray, who I think the idea of fit is, the Indiana Pacers. So for what everything Sam said, but here's myself. You have miles Turner. You have terrorist holiday. You have Malcolm Brockton, brogden. You have Chris duarte. TJ Warren was injured. He's a free agent. Who knows? I like the IQ of tyrese Halliburton and Keegan Murray mixed together. That is a slice and dice combination half court. Where you're playing those two out of pick and roll, Chris duarte and a corner, mount the brogden corner. You've miles Turner rolling up high, shooting 34, 35 cent from three. Pick your poison. Because you're going to be beat one of those places. And then if the tyrese wants to run, Keegan Murray can run with them, that's the fit I like the best for Keegan. I liked yourself or Jade and ivy two. If I were the pacers that that would be the guy that I want in that range..

"I don't know. I don't know if that was a trade that Ron Gutman came up with. A couple of weeks ago said, oh, maybe this is something that would consider, it's something the Lakers will have to look at. And we'll talk about Russell a little later because there was some stuff that came out today that we need to get into again. Right now we're celebrating the win, but we'll get into that stuff. Would they accept that? I kind of doubt it. I don't think the pacers would go for that. If they would, I think the Lakers would have to seriously consider it, but I'm pretty high on brogden. I think they use a tremendous player and a great fit. But have some health concerns there. But we're going to get into the Westbrook stuff in just a little bit and what that might mean on the trade front. Yeah. Go ahead. I don't know why the pacers would do it. Honestly, more, I think thought about it is because Russ and tyrese Halliburton, that's worse than Malcolm Brogdon and Halliburton because obviously your number one priority is just make it sort of Halliburton continues to progress. And again, like we've talked about a lot recently, a less Russell Westbrook is willing to change his role like a lot. I don't see why the pacers are mainly because they have tyrese Halliburton at this point. Oh, somebody said, Trevor, how was your daughter's soccer match? I mentioned it on the front office show. It was good. It was a lot of fun. A bunch of 5 year olds running around in a swarm kicking a soccer ball. So I got that today, the galaxy got a win. The Lakers got to win. It's been a good day, but a good day. Yep. Manny James said love the way LeBron competed in this game and no quit rubbed off on the entire team and they all locked in and started playing team ball especially in defense. You know what? I have two ways of looking at this. First of all, we should, yes, credit the Lakers for playing the playing the level of defense that they did, being fired up by LeBron scoring. It shouldn't take that. We talked about this a little bit our Lakers Asian dot com group chat. The Lakers can be this team where their defense and their defensive effort and intensity can be determined by whether or not shots are falling on the offensive end for them. Now part of that is the domino effect where if you make shots, you're largely getting to set up your defense and play up against a half court offense instead of going into transition..

"Think the kairi stuff to in the actual article with the quotes from Shawn marks. He very much said it was about lifting the mandate, not about Kyrie getting vaccinated. But just that is the world continues to change and we of all policy around coronavirus and all that he hopes that they ultimately change as well. Let's get into our least favorite topic. Injuries, which unfortunately do happen in the NBA. So many, man. It's crazy. A lot of. But all right, let's get into one that's at least somewhat positive. Miles Turner. Obviously been out dealing with stress reaction in his foot. However, it's hopefully it's hopeful that he will return after the all star break. How soon after we'll see, you've got to be careful, particularly with a big guy with a foot injury like this, but I am curious to see what miles Turner by himself. Now that sabonis is gone, you bring in Halliburton. What can he look like in there on his own? That's piqued my interest, and so whenever he gets back, I'm hoping that he can stay fully healthy and we get an idea of what that really is. And it's important for the pacers to find out as well because just because they didn't train him at the deadline, doesn't mean they're not going to trade him this summer. So they still need to find out what they've got here in miles Turner. Can he be the lone beg? Does that improve him? What becomes of him when he's in that scenario. So I'm curious to see how this plays out for the rest of the season. I agree, there's been a couple of people that have said, you know, why? Why would they even bring him back in my thing is they're doing quite fine on losing games with or without him. I don't think that's going to really change things. They are 8 games out of the plan. So that's clearly like that ship has sailed. That's not happening. But then there's 6 games clear of the teams at the bottom of the conference too. So maybe they could lose enough to catch up to the rockets or the thunder and drop into a top three positioning, but that might happen anyway. I think it's more important really evaluate what we've got. The rest of the way here, get Turner back at Malcolm Brogdon back. Chris duarte got hurt yesterday. He's going to miss a couple games. But it doesn't sound like it's anything serious. Sounds like he's got a jammed toe or I think it was. So jammed toe, not toe jam. Just to be clear. So I saw your smile there out of the corner. It crossed my mind there for a moment. So yeah, but let's see, I mean, they've been kind of fun. The last couple games with tyrese Halliburton kind of leading the way and you're seeing what it kind of looks like with him as the full on lead dog of a team now. So yeah, I'm very curious to see what they become with Turner in the lineup and what that group could potentially look like..

"Just the idea of what makes for Sean Holmes so good, it doesn't really work next to the bonus who loves that mid post area where rashawn Holmes tends to roll into. And who tends to like end up in the range of like that short roll area and dribble handoffs, right? Like it's just not really going to work, sorry. I got a text message, like right in the middle of that. There are trading not real. Yeah. Literally about the Halliburton trade from like an NBA person. I'm trying to figure out what they're doing. It's 8 in the morning. I'm recording. I'm writing an article. I'm doing my best and processing because it takes me a little bit longer than I'd like it to. So. In terms of long-term planning, you've given up 7 to 8 years of tyrese Halliburton to pick up a player that I think minimizes your ceiling. In demonic sabonis because I don't think he's good enough defensively. He's a great offensive player. But I don't think he's good enough on defense without incredible insulation to where it's really truly gonna work on that end. And Justin holiday is a good defender. He's not a great defender. Harrison Barnes is a good defender. He's not a great defender at this point. Like, they be on Mitchell's a great defender, but if I'm an opposing team, I'm just keeping Davey on Mitchell out of every screening action that I can under. And you mentioned the idea of the avion Mitchell and getting back to the point that I want to make here, I guess maybe to close before I'll give you another point before we move on. But taking Davey on Mitchell in last year's draft seemed bonkers at the time for the kings, given that they already had deer and fox and tox Halliburton. And buddy hill because you look, I'm not saying that I think that they probably have a lot of pressure to make the playoffs in Sacramento. Vivek is a hands on owner and a rookie probably wouldn't have made the difference between them going from 20 and 35 to whatever they would need. 25 and 30 or whatever. But I do think that having Davy on Mitchell on this roster gives you a comfort level to trade. Tyrese Halliburton, that maybe you shouldn't..

"And Halliburton at 12 seemed like an actual hit, right? Like we got it right, even this year Davey on Mitchell were both Dave and Mitchell fans who were like, that's a crowded back chord. I didn't see this. I don't know how this works. Halliburton is a God that we've raved about that archetype lately of this big passing connecting, seamless guy that can play it anywhere is actually shooting the ball, any of the questions coming to college or erased in. He is traded. I like sabonis. I do, I think I just value tyrese Halliburton so much higher when that tweet came out that he was gone. It was kind of like I was back on the end of the bench, losing a BuzzFeed beer. I just put my hands in my head and I just said, I don't. I don't know what's happening here. This can't be a real thing. Yeah, so I don't want to give short shrift to demonstrate bonus. Correct. Correct. Yes. And before we dive into undoubtedly why I wouldn't have done this move, I was the kings. I want to pay attention to why to Mona simonas is probably someone that the kings valued and decided they want to do acquire. Sabonis is one of the best offensive centers in the NBA average is essentially 20 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, something like that. He's exceptional and dribble handoffs. His feel for the game is outstanding. He's kind of like a bull in the China shop in the paint. He is incredible in terms of being able to use his shoulders, he uses footwork to be able to carve out just that little inch of space that he needs to finish in the basket. His dribble handoff game, I think, is really going to mesh well with the Aaron Fox. There is any look the kings have an interim coach right now in Alvin gentry, album gentry's a really fucking smart offensive mind. I think Alvin gentry is going to be able to figure out how to utilize dear and Fox and demonic sabol as well together. And the way to do it is you start the ball with Davey on Mitchell and his hands. You put deer and fox on the right side of the court, you run essentially like a dribble hand off action. You put the ball into the bonus hands. You have Mitchell go screen to the right side of the court, have Fox come up and fly up to get him on the move. And then you run like all sorts of crazy dribble handoff action with Fox where he's on the move already and you can let bonus make some decisions and dribble handoffs. I think there's actually a lot there that will work for Sacramento..

"On the show in the building to talk some NBA trades to talk to his number one boy. It is Matthew penny, what up Ben? How are we? We're good. It's been a crazy morning, crazy afternoon for you. I'm working on my levels here. I know you saw the interactions on Twitter that my voice doesn't align to my body and it was compared to Jim halpert from the office. Toby from this is us and Braun Strowman from pro wrestling fame. A couple new ones in there for me. I've got the, I've gotten the gym for the office, the John Krasinski, once in a while, he's like the Coca-Cola and I'm like the RC Cola version of that. And he actually grew up down the street from where I'm recording. But the other ones were new ones. I'm just trying to be a little bit less self conscious here and empower through and talk trades, which is a little out of my comfort zone, but we're prepared. We do the best we can. We're ready. Matt penny is nothing if he's not always prepared. And I told him last night like, hey, you know, just let's talk trades in the morning. Just do a little bit of prep. And you'll be ready and he's always ready and now now was he ready for the kings to totally break my brain? No, he wasn't. Because to be fair, was anyone. Was the NBA? I mean, the reports coming out like hold on, wait a minute, like we didn't even know this was a possibility, and now he's a pacer. Yeah, well, just literally just like you're calling me being like, if we would have known tires, Halliburton was available like what's going on? Okay, let's just let's settle this and let's start start ripping videos for the YouTube page essentially. We're gonna go one and order, right? We're gonna go tyrese Halliburton for demonic sabonis.

What healed and Tristan Thompson. It's Jeremy lamb and Jeremy Lee and Jeremy lamb. They've blended. You've got the lambs. Okay. Two Jeremy lambs. I want to any misspelled sabonis or domas. Oh, he did. Nicknamed short. And I'm sure that was Twitter character. Jeremy lamb and Justin holiday, holy wow. My brain..

"This trade. So, the mata sabonis goes to Sacramento, along with Jeremy lamb. Justin holiday. Indiana gets buddy hill. Tristan Thompson's expiring. In tyrese Halliburton, who I thought was off the table. I love sabonis. I was hoping the Celtics are trade firm. I said I was even a rationally hoping they would give up smart and time lord for him, which I know is a dumb trade, but that's how much I like the bonus. At the same time, you can't trade Halliburton. What do you do in Sacramento? Honestly, what are you doing? He's 21. There's like 8 point guards in the league that know how to run a team that check off the advanced metric boxes. I mean, there is some great stuff today. All the advanced metrics NBA people that I follow on Twitter and respect, that one nuts. Like Kurt goldsberry, my former grantland colleague, he had a bunch of tweets about halbert and somehow 11th and assist and 12th instills 12 games without foxy average 19 and ten. Catch and shoot threes, which he really had to do the last couple of years because he had to put fox or the last year and a half, 42.6% on catch and shoot threes according to Kirk. And then on off the dribble threes, second, 40.6. So he's checking all these efficiency stuff like his advance his you feel go percentage was 58.7. I don't really fully understand that one, but I know that's good for a guard. But then John schumann from MBA dot com. He had about best pull up threes. Halbert and second behind Mike Conley percentage. And then when you talk about assist turnover ratio, which is another thing we love with point guards, he started behind Chris Paul and Marianne spurs. So look, I'm just giving you the stats. I test love them in college. Could not believe he fell thought there was a chance that he could follow the southeast of course he didn't. The sun's famously passed him at ten took jaylen Smith and now didn't even give jaylen spent that it even renewed his third year option. So you think the sons are the best player in the best team in the league. And they also could have had Halliburton really easily, and he would have been the absolute unbelievable perfect third guard for a Booker Chris Paul back on holy shit. That's a what if India had steals them. And as much as I like sabonis, I just can't get over the fact that the kings gave up halberd. I can't believe it. The kings. So we used to make fun of them at grail land, which greatly existed from 2011 and 2015. And at that point, the kings were entering their second half decade of just being morons. And finally, grail and ends we start the ringer. The kings still being morons and just you think like for 12 years from like 6 to 2018 there was a dumbest team in the league. And then they take Bagley over Luca, which we were doing a live draft show when that happened. We were all having a stroke. They gave away bogdanovic for reasons that remain unquote. They just didn't want to plan. They drafted three point guards in the span of four years. Gave an extension to the wrong run, dearen Fox, who I still feel like is relatively untreatable at that contract, unless you're taking somebody else's problem like Julius Randle. And then out of the three point cards, they trade the wrong one. So, you know, you think, would have been the king's highlights for the last, I don't know, decade, I guess it would be the fact that they sold high on boogie cousins, even though that's in terrible at the time. And picking Halliburton. That fucking that up, just taking the right guy when he fell to. I think number 12, and then they trade him anyway. I'm just telling you, I rarely go all in with predictions. And you kind of know, I'll be like, I think this is a mistake, whatever. Here's my take. And rarely, especially with NBA, I just go all in. I think Halliburton is an absolute star. I think he's a future all MBA guy. I think he could be the second best guy on a championship team, potentially. I don't think he can be the first best guy, but I think he can be the second best guy. I think he could.

"Tyrese Halliburton over the last two months has been amazing. He's actually like 17 points. 9 assists, like a couple of steals a game. We've rebounds reasonably well. He's starting to knock down pull up jumpers. To me, he's the guy that you build around. I'm doing everything I can to make him the best player he can be. Trading for Ben Simmons is an interesting player for tyrese Halliburton, given the tyrese is a bigger point guard. He can handle the ball, but I also think I want like a secondary ball handler next to him in some respect. Because he's not like the most dynamic player in the NBA with the ball in his hands. He's incredible decision maker. He's an incredible passer, incredible feel for the game. He's become a really high level pull up shooter. Just in terms of his shit off the balance, I don't think he's like the most amazing guy that you'll find in the league. No, Ben simons, I think could help that. Yeah. The thing is that you can't have Ben Simmons and Dan Fox. I don't think. I think that's a recipe for disaster. Yeah, that's gross. That's gross to me. And if I were the kings, like you said, dear and just has not been good this year. And I don't think that could be part of the situation going on in Sacramento. Maybe it is uninspiring and whatever X, Y, and Z, but yeah, just a Simmons and deer and fox. I just don't know where that gets you. And I agree that Halliburton that's kind of why I left him off when I said the guys that could do individual piece where I think that's the guy you build around now because one, like you said, he's just made major improvements. I think he's exceeded. We all kind of like we all liked him coming in the draft, but that kind of just thought he would be where he showed as a rookie. I was like, I could see him just doing that for ten years and be a really good player, but he's taking it to another level. And I think he's one of those well he is one of those guys where can play on the ball off the ball and obviously much better than Fox. And you can just build around that much easier. It's similar obviously situation in Detroit with cade..

"It's a kind of like lean into the muscle memory of it. Yeah, you don't need to screw us up, and we play like, you know, knock out or whatever. Somebody would be like, hey, do you breathe in or out when you shoot? And I was like, oh, crap. The whole day was ruined, 'cause I'm like, then I'm thinking about it, right? But another great one to do. If you're playing in a game and the guy has to make a free throw to win the game, asking that, we will always dribble. We're getting ready. But yeah, but either way, there's something about that that I think was really cool. The best part about this thing that measures the arc and where it goes in was you need data and you need in a lab, you need to have them shoot like 30 shots before you can do anything and look at it. So you can't coach them. They have to shoot, which is actually good because you don't over coach and I know I'm watching the guy shooting 20 or 25 in a row and I desperate to say this residence but no, in order to get the right data, they need to shoot, you know, the 25 or 30 without talking to them, then you look at how the bunching is in the grouping, then you can suggest something, then they go back and shoot another 20. That to me is probably the best way to work with a guy that player on a shot, then micro managing every freaking shot he takes and trying to add something every time. That just makes it all crazy. And that's interesting because if you think about Katie makes it seems like he's making it in the same spot in the basket every single time. And he's obviously a great shooter. There's no question they have a data. All the good shooters, I don't think they had found one that didn't do that. Didn't have the ability to punch. And it makes perfect sense. It's almost like, of course, but I like that idea is that you're trying to figure out a way where you're putting the ball in a consistent bunching of the rim. And that will make you a consistent shooter. I want to ask an MBA question. Yeah. This is not like exactly the most underperforming team. That being said, I do think the Celtics are underperforming. Do you understand exactly what's going on? Why Tatum and brown can't play together what they can do? Well, they don't have I think they don't have enough connective pieces, guys that can connect those isotype players. And I think the league is going away from ice old ball and those players are kind of dependent on that. And on top of that, they're not efficient in their isos this season. So I think it's a big mess right now, but they definitely need like a point guard or tyrese Halliburton would be perfect for them as I always say to somebody who could connect the team. Well, yeah, go ahead. I feel like teams are kind of going away from the traditional like, oh, we have our superstar, and then we have a point guard running our offense that gets me. That's true. That's true. You're kind of feel like it's on Brown and Tatum to change their style and kind of get everyone more involved. Yeah. As like four versions of Kawhi and Paul George of not as talented, but still getting their points without each other helping out. It's like, you can be really good but not great like that. But both of those guys are worse, Kawhi was never granted facilitating and setting people up and he's gotten better over his years until he averages what 5 and half 63. They got to a point where he was good. He's the hogs..

"If there's an operating brainer, Jarrett Culver did not have his rookie scale extension picked up. And the reporting is it will not be picked up the deadline for that is on Halloween, October. First, is the deadline for those. So interesting, at least, not a huge surprise. I guess, from that standpoint, but yeah, and just to be clear to teams do not officially decline team options. They just simply don't pick them up. So yeah, so that's why you don't see a transaction on that or anything like that. But generally when they do these, they do them all at once. What you're seeing a handful of these done now and they usually do them in a batch where they'll pick up they've got two, three, four guys, eligible to do them all in the same day. Tyrese Halliburton also had his rookie scale extension picked up. In a reminder, that's not for this year. There are already under contract that's for the next season 2022, 23 season. You do this approximately a year in advance with those ones. So yeah, so that's where we're at with those. All right. And last thing to get into here, 5 players this year went from camp invites to full contracts. And that's Isaiah Stein of the clippers Wayne selden of the next Dennis Smith junior of the blazers, Matt Thomas, shooter of the Chicago Bulls and Brad wanamaker of the pacers, Keith, you mentioned this on Twitter. You said the last time this happened, was Dwight Howard who actually with the Lakers who actually requested a non guaranteed deal so that he could prove to everybody how committed he was because Dwight being Dwight. But it doesn't happen very often. So why now? Is this just a random occurrence or is there some reason why this happened this year would it normally doesn't happen for anybody and this year it happened for 5 guys? Yeah, that is a great question. I think the reason it happened for so many players is so many guys signed these types of contracts this year. There were two things that did not happen in this off season that generally do happen. The first is very few players got any form of partial guarantees this off season to come to camp. The only team that did that was the Toronto Raptors. Nobody else did partial guarantees. And we saw the raptors. They ate some money by waving ish Wainwright. They ended up heating his contract there or part of it for the next two seasons. So that is the that's that first part. The second part is it's so you didn't have the partial guarantees. You did not have the standard Don guarantee contract signed either because those sit against you against the tax, whereas these do not. These ones do not go against the tax until they make the regular season roster, which it looks like all these guys will. Now, as you mentioned, those 5 guys, we could also kinda sorta add our money Brooks in there from the rockets. His was a little bit of a different process. We're kind of suspense, spin around a little bit. Yeah, it is so what ultimately is with these 5 guys is now their contract will convert to a standard non guaranteed contract that counts against the cap and all that. And it becomes fully guaranteed on the league wide gift January in mid January. I was going to say I love it. That was one off..

"It's like honestly, though, if they would have taken him 6th look, I don't know if I necessarily would have agreed at the time, but I think that my thoughts on this have changed enough to where I think yes. That's fine with me because if you're comparing him or in yakko Kong Wu, who we think is like a solid double, right? You can find on yek, a Kong Wu's. You can't find pokus if poku hits. Like, if poku hits it's a 100 X of what you paid for him. Even at 6, it's 75 X, what you paid for him. Over the course of the 6th overall pick in the first four years of his career. Like, to me, that's the kind of swing that you want in the draft. That's how you win the draft, I think. You definitely can win it that way. A 1000%. I just remember the videos and the clips of trying to find poke stuff and it was like he was playing as like us. There was no barometer of talent of what he was doing. He legitimately looked like a 7 foot one Magic Johnson hybrid, but it's like, I don't know who's honest to God. I don't know who he's playing against. So because of that, it's just kind of hard to make that. It's hard for everybody. Regardless of you draft, right? But it's still a wild one. Yeah, it's a totally different deal with the poker one. Like just the level of tape that was out there on that guy was just like, you had no idea. And by the way, it was the same with Giannis as well. Got it. It was hilarious. You'd watch it at the time, too. And not to compare poku in Giannis, Yanis just always had much better physical tools than what Polk who had. But he was good though. Forever. While tyrese Halliburton's there, we had a whole like you didn't take him. You went too crazy at 6. Like you do that later in the draft. But to me, again, like, from a process perspective like I'm okay with going for swings at this point. I think that's where I'm at. Like, I think that you try to 50 X a hundred X your money in the draft. There's just that's how you win the NBA draft. That's how Milwaukee changed the trajectory of their franchise through building in the NBA draft. They hit Giannis, right? That's how I'm trying to think of like other examples. That's how Denver hit the drafted Nikola Jokić who was 270 pounds and like overweight. But they had a first round grade on him. They had the pick in the 40s. It's easier to take them the 40s. It sounds like it sounds like diplomacy. It sounds like you're on board. Do it. Do it. Here. Say it. Here's what I say. If I had a higher grade on Josh primo, like if I thought Josh primo was really actually really good, I totally agree with you. Like your process in terms of evaluating where you had Josh primo, I totally agree with taking wrong. I was like, oh my God, this is wild, but he's been good. Reports are that he works. Everybody loves him. He's been in these tiny minutes. Like ah, throw a primo see what he does. Oh, he's 8 for 9 for the field as 18 points. And spurs Twitter is going nuts. We did it. We picked it, but that peck was crushed by a lot of people. And I could still be very wrong, but I credit that organization for taking that startup a hundred X, 50 X swing to try to change everything..

"Like I'm just watching basketball. And so I'm not picking up the emotions of the locker room and the relationships that have to be managed and trying to run sets. But certain guys can't do certain things like I have a hard time really diving down that rabbit hole and saying a guy needs to get fired. I watch a lot of Sacramento Kings games. There was not a single Sacramento Kings game that I watched last year where I didn't think they got to get this guy out of here as it pertained to Luke Walton. There wasn't a single game where I go Luke's really got him cooking tonight. Every single game it was. What the hell is this? This is the most disorganized, nonsensical team. I've ever seen. This is bad coaching. He is the textbook example of doesn't know what he's doing with this squad. Watch the team win 60 games this year because I just said that. But like, it is incredible. Credit to Luke Walton, who apparently can not be fired for any reason because I can think of about 20 right now that I would have fired him for already. Yeah. I know they were other than that. Good luck to them. I know they went on like they won 6 out of 7 late. I mean, they beat like a always a great standard. Underman Lakers team, they beat the thunder who were tanking. They beat a pacers team that I don't want to be here anymore was the epitome of that team by the end of the year. And they beat the thunder so much shit on them. In that 6 of 7 like wins the overtly taking thunder. This team made the Portland Trail Blazers defense look competent. Yeah, that's all I have to say about that. The blazers are bad on defense. They made they somehow had a worse defensive rating than last year's Houston Rockets. They made Karl Anthony towns in D'angelo Russell look like frigging, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. It's just wild. The whole thing is the hell of outta here. The hell up outta here. The whole thing is just crazy to me. Luke Walton is still the coach of this team is it's a choice for sure. Again, who else wants to coach the Sacramento king? I will say like on paper, I am excited about a good amount of them. You'll do it on this team. That's what you're talking about. I will not coach the kings. I am very happy here. Sacramento's lovely. I have been there a couple times. Very similar, very similar climate to a certain parts of Australia, so it might be an easy transition. I like a lot of the players on the kings. I really think Harrison Barnes is one of the most underrated players in the league now. I think that Darren Fox is a future all star. I think tyrese Halliburton is going to be one of the absolute best role players in the NBA. He's a $100 million player, like absolutely amazing. I thought rashawn Holmes. He's marvels. He's one of the better offensive centers in terms of finishing ability..

"The Bay Area is over. Our favorite team here in the bay. Yeah. We read me through that transaction list. They resigned rashawn Holmes to a four year $47 million deal, rashawn Holmes, this year's absolute winner of the contract reporting chicanery. It was originally reported a four 55 when it was not a four 55 deal. It came in at four 47, because that's what he was allowed to sign under his early bird rights. Scientists, I love the agency chicanery. It's always hilarious. It's incredible. Scientists Davis to a two year $8 million deal. They traded delan right for Tristan Thompson, which was a bit strange. They re signed moho harkless to a two year $9 million deal. They drafted davion Mitchell and nimi Keita. They signed Alex Len to a two year $8 million deal. Look, they did what they had to do this summer. They resigned rashawn Holmes to a deal that I think is phenomenal for what he is. And they drafted Davey on Mitchell and Davey on Mitchell looks absolutely great. Yeah. I don't know if they got better though. I don't know who they got better compared to other teams in the west, but I do think I think Davey on Mitchell really helps them because he is first off. He already has a bitch and Nick. He has a bitchin nickname off. It's incredible. It's an incredible name. It's so good. It's so fucking good. It hurts. He is, as you would expect from somebody his age and with his pedigree ready to rumble as you noted. He might be the talisman for some sort of a change. What's more likely is that this team is pretty much the same as it was last year. And by the way, this buddy healed situation, which had a level of toxicity to it, I think, is fair to say, has not been resolved. Marvin Bagley and all of that has not been resolved. Tristan Thompson, that's going to work out great. Everyone's really expecting big things there and not, you know, a deep level of peculiarity that will almost certainly show up come Thanksgiving. But at least they have tyrese Halliburton who's fucking awesome and dearen fox who's fucking awesome and Alex Lin might be good for him too and rashawn Holmes got paid as well he should have..
