"He's been talked about as the guy that I guess is a good thing, but we've seen with a guy like Luke Walden where it's not always a great thing. He's a players coach. The players really, really love them and he just makes the most sense out of all the candidates. I'd be really excited if we got darvin personally. Yeah, I think he makes a lot of sense. Makes a lot of sense for the Lakers. Maddie James would be with another super chat said, would it be possible to get Powell as a backup big? He's young and athletic, he's not a free agency. Let me look. We're talking white pal on The White House. Let me see where he's at. Another guy somebody's pretty good with a check Kaiser. Oh yeah, the Lakers that they want to if Kai Soto went undrafted, they could get Kai still and Jordan usher. I've had it. Let's see here. It's white Powell is $11.8 million next season. So you're talking about THT for Dwight Powell, basically. Or you could just do THT from X equal. Yeah, I mean, I would rather, if I'm going to use THT in a trade, Dwight Powell is not the guy that I would trade him for. Yeah. All right, let's get into this. Shakira Reddick said, we should get Mark Jackson or Scott Brooks. And we've talked about Mark Jackson plenty. I know Mark Jackson is out of all the coaching candidates. Mark Jackson is the most polarizing. You've got people that either say, bring him in. Yes, this is the guy. There's no reason why he shouldn't be in the league right now. Give him the job. There are other people who say, absolutely not. And it doesn't feel like there's a lot in between. But I want to focus on the Scotty Brooks part of this. If you are the Lakers and again, a lot of this depends on who they hire as a head coach, but if you're the Lakers and you resign yourself to keeping Russell Westbrook. Do you make another effort to bring in Scott Brooks as an assistant? As an assistant shore, I thought you could ask me about the head coach thing. I'll say I say gosh now. As an assistant, I mean, sure, why not? Honestly, another, will you bringing sub Brooks for the same reason you would bring in Terry stotts as an assistant, a veteran coach who's been around the league, that has some experience that isn't technically a bad coach. Not a good one personally, but not bad coach. Have some veteran.

"Or something. He looked pretty good to me in Phoenix's closeout game against the pelicans. So that's great, right? Because we want these teams at full health. Unfortunately, we're going to couple others that are not going to be. I think this is closer than people are given a credit for too. Because I think Dallas is there's two things. One, they are built to kind of go green with the way the suns want to defend. And I think they are also, they have enough size and defense to cause the sun some problems. The key is going to be, who does Luca guard in this series? Am I thought is probably Jay Crowder? Because he's the standstill shooter. For the sons? And he can help a little bit there because I mean, we saw he write that help block you out on Gobert. And the final game of that series at the rim so I think you'll see him come in, but because we'll see Booker would cook him off the dribble. Mikhail bridges now all of a sudden it's like, hey, maybe defensive player of the year soon guy thrown in with 90 something points in two games or whatever it was. Crazy. And then obviously Luke on Chris Paul would just be not good because it ended up in fouls and a bunch of arguing and he can't put a lot of it in. So it's gotta be Crowder just by processing. It's gonna be good. But the reason why I even bring that up is he's kind of the only weak link defensively that either one of these two teams really has. Because Booker now that he brings consistent effort, he saw it. My guess is not gas. I mean, the sons are going to put bridges on Luca. And they're just going to play it out in work that way. They'll put a crowd on them if they need to come off the bench with some size with cam Johnson. When they go there on it. But so it's going to be the chess match is going to be can Lucas all this on defense. And why I think they're good is they want to kind of live in the mid range, which is not where teams generally live and that's where the sun's going to force you to. They want to run you off the arc. And then they want to defend you at the rim. If you're willing to live in the mid range, you can get some work done. And that's where the maths kind of live. How do you deal with and this is my big question mark for the maps. And I think this is ultimately what pushes the series in favor of the sons, how do you handle Deandre ayton if you're Dallas? I mean, we can talk to white Powell, JavaScript tons, isn't going to be big enough to get any minutes there. Maxi can get some time there, but I do question whether or not you've got the size and quality necessary to deal with ayton in there. I think that's going to be a big, big problem for Dallas in this series, but I do agree that it's closer than most people would think. And here's the other thing. I thought this was interesting. I went back through the Mavs and the sun's games from this past season..

"Bed and needs to be held accountable for it. He's the one that wanted this roster and got his way. You know, agreed. And that's where I came out of the reports coming out of the meeting between rich Paul Genie bus rob palinka, the most sitting down, that was what I found most encouraging. Is there was a bit in there about recognizing that it's not rob pilling his fault. It's not Genie bus's fault. It's not LeBron's fault. It's not clutch sports fault. It's everybody's fault. It's everybody. And it goes beyond just those guys, right? It goes beyond that. It's not one person. Who created this team who created this mess, there is blame plenty of it to go around. The question now is, what do you do moving forward? How do you fix it moving forward? Does that mean giving up draft picks? Does that mean doing what you can to try to build a winner next season? Do you try to attach stuff to Russell Westbrook and move that contract? That's really the question from here. I think at this point, everybody's recognized that mistakes were made. Mistakes were made and a lot of people had a hand in those mistakes. Now it's let's solve the problems that we created. And that's when we look at this Laker season, self inflicted wounds are absolutely a theme. Both from the off season, if you look at what they did in the off season that really hurt themselves. With their own choices, to what's happened this season on the floor. We watched it tonight. The Lakers own choices in games hurt their ability to win this thing. The self inflicted wounds absolutely a theme this year. Dan the man, LeBron can't be happy with Russ. I mean, I'm sure there's frustration there. The fit obviously hasn't worked. The way I'm sure there is some frustration. And there was a play, there was a play in the game where Russ got caught Stanley Johnson came over. LeBron was defending Luca, Stanley Johnson came over after Luca got a step on LeBron and he left white Powell, and this was late in the game. He left a white Powell, Luca just threw the ball up by the rim and Dwight Powell dunked it. Russ was the man guarding the far side three point line, and he had a man that he was with it was a very quick play. He should have dropped in and cut off Dwight Powell. Of course, Luca would have just kicked it outside for the three. It was really a no win situation as soon as Luke had got to step on LeBron, but LeBron was upset with Russ, because ideally you want to make Luca throw the farther pass and give your defense a chance to rotate over and contest the three. But Russ didn't do that..

"Energy, enthusiasm, you know, but I do think Luca Ben's based on his talents, then the ability for them to figure it all out in real time. And they haven't had that consistency. So they are. They are in my head. I'm very optimistic on them because I'm Friends with white Powell. I'm pessimistic now compared to how I was, but it's a long season. They will play their way into gear, but it's interesting you mentioned Luca's usage because there's this endless debate in the league and among mavericks fans, and it became a flashpoint issue once Jason Kidd got hired because you knew Jason Kidd is gonna try to democratize the offense a little bit. And you see them, they call these pin downs for Tim Hardaway to come shoot long twos and Lucas stance at half court pouting like a little kid. And doing nothing, just standing there while Tim Tim Hardaway junior shoots. And you get why are you not just running Luca pick and roll over and over again? And then you look at the numbers, you know what the numbers tell you today? What did they tell you? Lucas time of possession is up. Yes. Lucas pick and rolls per 100 possession is up from last year. So, you know, he's still running a ton of the offense. I will say if I throw up in my mouth a little bit, every time Luca runs a pick and roll with Powell or bob on or calle Steiner who's ever out there and porzingis is like, you know what, now is the time where I'm just going to meander over to the elbow and call for the ball in the post, not even in the post at the elbow and just be in the way instead of being where I should be. But I don't know. There's just something you know when you watch a team and there's just like something missing. Right now there's just something missing with the Mads, despite their record. And I hope they find it because they have the road map to be a pretty dangerous team and it starts with a guy who is he's proven it in the playoffs. He's a killer. Yeah. I agree. All right, that's enough maths. I guess they just left a bad taste in my mouth. The energy gap between the bulls and the Mavs last night in Chicago was like palpable through my screen. The bulls, just a delight, they're gonna be better than I thought they were gonna be. They're throwing out loops. They're getting steals Caruso's getting steals dive in on the floor. Well, Nicola vujovic who's out in health and safety protocols now. Okay, should I pick reach into the grab bag and pick me out something interesting? Okay, I really love talking about this team because people are passionate about the clippers. I really love it. Streaking. Lip joint, Paul George, stepping back into on demand. I'm the man that we saw back in Indy and for a second in OKC, and now he knows what it's like to be number one. And I just like what they're doing. And I think the last game was the last game that I went to at Staples Center was the clippers meeting the blazers. And I was just so impressed. They're having a good time. They're getting good production. You know, guys like Luke Bernard and Terrence man, like they'll flex and then look at the bench. When you talk about energy from Chicago and teams that are doing things, I like LA has done the clippers, so and I think isn't Paul George the reigning Western Conference player of the year. I think player the player that we and speaking of usage rates he has the highest usage rate of his career right now. Obvious reasons, but it's just good to see his team rally behind him. So yeah, I'm here for the clippers. Yeah, I was I was, I was always a Paul George defender. I predicted a Paul George revenge tour last season, speaking over avenge again after he was christened pandemic pee, which I actually did think was quite funny. And so I think Paul George is the boss, I've said it a million times. He's playing great. So the clippers are, I'm glad you brought them up. They are on a 5 gram winning street going into tonight's game against the heat who will reportedly be without Jimmy Butler. We are taping this at 5 eastern, so the clippers could lose once this podcast 'cause I have no idea. They're on a 5 game winning streak. Are you ready for some numbers on the clippers? Oh, I'm here for you. Yeah, yeah, let's go. 19th on offense, which is my worry about them going into the season was I just think it's a lot to ask of Paul George plus role players to have an above average offense in the NBA, particularly for a team that was really, really dependent on incredible jump shooting last year and they have not been able to duplicate that jump shooting yet. They're okay. They're just not off the charts great. But the shocker, the shocker, second in defense. And look, I can give you some reasons why that is. They have some interesting they have some interesting things they can do personnel wise, but they are getting a little lucky. They give up a lot of threes and the third most shots at the rim in the NBA and they're holding deep teams to an incredibly low percentage on shots at the rim. So I'm expecting a little bit of regression. But look, this team has a lot of long, fast, smart rangey wings who fly around. You feel like you've got them in trouble and then two or three passes later you're like, oh God, we're in trouble. The shot collapsed right now, we haven't shot yet..

"Retain him any other way. And so that makes it a riskier proposition. We saw monte morris getting lucrative deal in a somewhat similar situation but again that ties in depth deal would kick in any extension would be for twenty two twenty three. So that's our and i would not want to extend him a particularly. I mean maybe you could do it unless it just. He comes so cheap but because a didn't play very well in the blouse bialso he'll his capital is just going to be the minimum right. And you don't even have to worry about like the starter here or any of that. Because he won't be a restricted free agent. So you'll have then rights right. Yeah you could pay him whatever you wanted to offer that minimum cap hold that so and then going ahead to twenty two twenty three and we're spending a lot of time on this but You've got if they wanted to hear. Luca's going to be making he's gonna sign that extension. You gotta sign him that extension. You don't really gain anything either by because the by waiting With to try to use his low capital. Because it bumps up to pretty much. Close to the max anyway. Because he was such a high pick They've got cleveland. Non guaranteed for nine million. So they as of now and then the vinnie smith. You'd think they'd want to resign. Would have capital to seven point six million but if you not both of those off if you wanted to. That's within their fully within their control Then you get to twenty two million in space but a they could stretch your move. The eleven million of white powell for that year and then porzingas at that point would have two years left at thirty four million and thirty six again. They might if they really had to get off of him. You wouldn't want to stretch him. That'd be just such a massive amount of money but if they really wanna get off him maybe they could do that by giving up a pick at that point depending on how he's playing then of course you move on from him and you basically just got luca and just space for this other star to come in but you obviously have to sell that that star and having some guys around but if yet brunson vinnie smith and maybe you could hold onto cleber and you move on from pol and porzingas. Then you could have like fifty million or so in space for for next year but it's still difficult. I mean you're you're they'd have to make some moves to get up to having that space aside and trade could be involved as well but to me. I mean when you look at the long term future this group. I think this year's kind of shown luca and porzingas does and some guys could guys. They've developed some guys but lucan present. Some guys does not a contender make and so they need another another major player in there. They don't really have the trade assets because of the pick the trades they made for porzingas and they're not going to be able to rake a trade like that until you're throwing for three first round picks as of the twenty twenty two draft. You could trade with three first round picks months basically once they make that pick than the step in rule no longer applies right and then you could also trade your twenty twenty nine pick after that draft his wall so you could Or or trade. Twenty twenty eight. So yeah that's Well and so. But i wanna i want to emphasize one point. You brought up the twenty twenty two concept and the mavericks this as well as almost anybody that there is a real risk and opportunity cost of going out approach. You are foregoing potential uses of multi. You're signing multi year contracts. This offseason you're also. Potentially you know giving up some of the good players on your team right now. Even if they're not the best player because luke is gonna be around players like dory and finished myth and mexico people like. They're hard to replace like we've seen that throughout and it's a real challenge and so i mean dallas some of the players that they didn't sign along that they didn't try us their caps as go after long term contracts over the last couple of years they could have helped them and instead they maybe they could have gotten a non dana green or rubber comforters. Visiting would have really helped them and they got south career and that worked out pretty well other than they traded him for josh richardson which didn't work out as well. We thought it would but it didn't end so that is a very big bet. And in a lot of circumstances i would advise teams not to do it because it's unlikely dallas doesn't have. They're not the lakers. Or someone of these teams. That has a hit or miami of a team that has a history of luoyang star level talent from other teams however just like came up a little bit. We were talking about the ben simmons idea at the end of that series. The rules are different when you have somebody at the caliber because luca could be the best player in a championship team and he might be there now. He could be there very soon if he's not. And that's when you you to your to your best player and to your team to give yourself a chance. And if i don't agree with you i don't think this group is good enough right now. There aren't that many ways for dallas to get there because of what they sacrificed in many ways to get there and also they don't have a ton of graft capital because the team is good now so that is going to be a risky proposition. And i want to emphasize that. But i do think it's worthwhile for them. But also here's what i would say as well this to me. This free agent market is so limited that if you wanted to just overpay for a couple of guys on a one year deal. I don't think you're that much worse in twenty one twenty two than if you say signed some other guys for at market rate to say a four year deal And i think there's a now especially if they can get to that thirty four million moving on from richardson. Now you have some holes at that point right because we haven't even mentioned the name. Tim hardaway junior yet. Who right. i mean. A lot of people were tweeting as he was going off. early in. that clipper series about. You know how he's going to get a big bag he's gonna watch twenty million a year. I would be particularly for this team. Eat more so for this team even then for some other teams. It'd be very low to pay. Tim hardaway junior a big deal. You know three or four years in particular now maybe he could fit into this conception of your big one year balloon deal but i would. I would be looking for bigger fish to fry than tim. Hardaway junior and so again all the usual names are going to be out there Lowry mike conley. You'll spencer dinwiddie is is an interesting one as well. He is at twenty eight is younger. Now do you feel like with dinwiddie. Porzingas and luca danni search. Is that a group that you would feel comfortable going forward with. would you give spencer. Didn't we a long term deal. Would spencer dinwiddie be willing to take your one year..

"We we got tyler bay in these guys are good. Give us john collins. I look he said a lot of things. I it was really weird and then somebody tweeted. That reminded me of what his dad used to say. Around trade season instead of a gm talking around trade season. He's lying and honestly. Like i love donny. But i don't think anybody really believed anything that he was saying. I mean again. He can't see anything like even do an interview. Then because you know is for the fans it's either for the fans or for the teams that he's talking to. I think you know. Even though i knew he's not going to say anything substantial. I so wanted to listen to every word of it. Because it's donnie nelson leaks something or just you know. I kind of just wanna see what they're thinking so yet. They talked about the young guys and we were like. Maybe they're trying to hype them up for trade value or it's possible. Huge trying to hype them up to sell tickets to texas legend because he made contact. Like you can go and see these guys and get asked meet the players. Would you actually sounds really cool. And that's a little enticing. But he talked about that a lot. So maybe it was just like hyping up the texas legends. I don't know well. I thought he was. I thought it was a two fold thing by saying we like our guys. Were probably not gonna do anything. It's taking away any type of anticipation from the fans. So they must really like these guys when reality no they're also selling them to these other teams you know. We're we're not willing to part from these guys. And then you have this rando article about how the mavericks could've landed They were talking about. How evan forni and the mavericks weren't willing to give up one of their key when nine even though they only play a player. And so i'm gonna say okay. All of this is saying they're basically putting out to the mass fans. We value our guys. You should too if we think they're good. You should think they're good that way when they don't make a move like yeah but maxie yeah but dorian all these guys are good and why. Don't wanna treat them. Even though i could get better trade them. That's what they're doing to you. See your mind works at to me. That's what it was. it was just. They don't have any players to give. Yeah i think that's kind of part of it is like you do kind of have to tamper temper. Temper phoenix -tations bit because they don't have any assets and everybody wants him to make a big like he was saying how they're trying to get a bunch of a play or a few a player's second round in exchange for a few second round pigs. Because that's really the only assets they have. So yeah. I mean i don't know what they would work with to get anybody now. I've said i think they could get andre drummond. I think he is so available that they wanted him they could get him for whatever. I just hope that. Aren't they want him. Are the idiot team. That trade swarm you hope they are. I hope they're not okay. Okay okay so that. That reminds me and i know we're kind of going all over the place now. The random to white powell starting over dorien. What in the world did that mean. Maybe they just like the matchup against the timber wolves. We changed our starting lineup to fit the timber. Wolves like i don't think that was it. I have personal. Martin has cuban loves guys that suck okay. Andre drummond is a cuban guy. It's got q against big name. Big name big numbers and donny..

"Is from ads the k. King the question is thoughts on trade options involving powell and bobin i mean i i would prefer for what you're going to get back for bo bon. You're better off. Just keeping them just for his locker room presence. Yeah his friendship with luca his joy. You wouldn't get anything back for him. That would make it were. Yeah well powell. You want to get rid of at this point because i mean no. I don't mean that a main getting ten million dollars a year the next two years. So you got i will take a second round pick for wipe i would take cash Nothing for i will give you cash to take two white powell. I think for the from the mavericks point of view. Having him in the locker room is worth more than a second round pick. It's worth ten million dollars a year. I mean you wanna talk about him contracts. Yeah because he doesn't ever Yeah you know after the achilles just before the achilleas. I hate how people are putting that anecdote asterik. Before the achilles he was a non player in this league. I was like i feel like now all the dwight powell lovers are just using that as an excuse. It's like this is what he was like before. I mean he can't jump for the. But oh god dad now you know whatever whatever i don't want to bash powell again i. I don't think they would get anything for power. I don't think there's any team out interested in him likewise with on. I think you'd better off just keeping them just for his locker room presence. Yeah i don't think either one of them have value. Okay love to get terry rozier for them. But it's not gonna happen. Um next one is from at direct show ten. The question is how much value in a trade do expiring contracts of james johnson and tim hardaway junior have at the nba trade deadline. I mean depends on the team. I know it's no. It does not what i was gonna say. It kind of depends on the team. That is what their decision is. What their plan is for the future. Is that team. That you're trading them to wanting cass base like new york when you did the whole cap dump for them. Yeah they were wanting to sign max guys. They thought because they were new york. They'd be able to do that. So you would have to find the right scenario. I don't know if tim hardaway like has a lot of value like tim. Hardaway's value is for a contending team. Like he would be the final piece that a contending team like the clippers say for example they just need one more schuler warrior or the warriors. Well they're not really contending. But the top near milwaukee. They need one more shooter you know so those kinds of teams. Yes exactly so they would. They would have a wad value for tim hardaway. But if they could guarantee that they're gonna he's gonna resign. Yeah unless you're going win now mode oh yeah so yeah outside of that. I mean it really just kind of depends on the team that you're dealing with because they may have a lot of value depending on the team or they may not have any value basically. It's really just about the record like a a really bad team. Generally doesn't care about cap space because free agent destination. True like the mavericks young. But i mean yeah if if region destination yeah but for the most part aband- bad team is not going to lure a lot of free agents..

"We don't i don't think as recording this. We don't know who it is. We know that three players are out during jalen. Brunson josh richardson. One of them is positive. And then today we just found out that maxie is positive so there's maxi plus one other player. Those two players will have to be out to fourteen days which is five to eight games and then the other two that are just quarantining for seven days. that's oh. I thought it was four days. I think it's seven. Yeah so that's two games. They'll miss two more to your games. Yeah that they'll miss. And then yeah maxine and the other one will be out for another four five six to eight gay. So you're looking at a starting lineup. Next game of luca hardaway. I think a one takes over. Josh green. Because i can imagine was surprisingly good. Yeah and then James johnson probably starting at the four for for maxine. And then cauley stein at the five with your bench. Trey burke in powell and josh green and hopefully nobody else has to play. Yeah so i mean it's a. It's going to be tough. It's gonna be rough. Yeah i wonder look. There's some and i don't know if anybody has any inside. Knowledge of porzingis is coming back. I have well. I like how you just brushed that off. Like i'm trying to make a point. It's not about you. I think it's skin way that mentioned that. He thinks they might bring him back in the hornets game because they didn't want to bring them back in the pelicans and have to with stephen adams elbowing him across. Even adams is out. Oh he is okay migraine. I was like just good. So i can be serious. I'm thinking if i'm the mavericks if your intention is to bring about against the hornets considering the situation can you bring them back. One game early. Yeah just out of necessity. I'm not asking you to play him. Forty minutes ten to fifteen minutes just to help offset the lack of players that have and it's just one game. Is it really going to hurt. Clearly he's healthy targeted the hornets. And yeah maybe. If stephen adams is out and he's healthy ready to go why not. Yeah i mean if if that is it if it's just a one. His name was the white powell he would have been the order. Well last game. Yeah i mean if it was that just one game difference thin. Yeah just bring him back to prison back. They're going to be social and look. I'm not saying. I want to risk injury. You're putting his career in jeopardy but if it's a one game difference now quitting any raise. Yeah yeah it can't make that much of a difference if it's longer i get it But yeah it's a it's gonna be rough for the mavericks. I mean but a lot of teams are dealing with this. They actually just announced that they're postpone the game between the celtics and heat. I think the heat and somebody so that's going on anyways so hopefully they can still get some wins. Duri time per. Yeah so we'll see but that that's that's the ugly coming up for the mavericks because it is i mean. Thankfully they want against the magic they had players out to in its magic and their next two games. Aren't against the lakers and the clippers. It's the pelicans and the hornets. Yeah so of course. I already loss against the hornets. Good then chances are will be at true Will get to our game predictions at the end of the episode..
