"Had no idea salmon could be this good. It would have been funny if the Vegas regrets just took all clutch clients. That was another thing we could have done. Yeah. I could have taken Nurkic. Is Nurkic a clutch guy? Yeah. It was one of the more surprising things when I was going through the contracts last night. I was like, oh, Nurkic. I, both teams are going to be terrible. Yeah. My hope was that a young guy that got lost in the shuffle, as I've stated twice already, but that was what we were saying in our draft room. We were putting together our list. We're like, let's give ourselves multiple chances at a couple of guys that maybe have fallen through the cracks we liked before the draft. I still can't believe, I don't know who you were working for to take Kenrich Williams and then Denias Mann for Oklahoma City, Aldama, La Ravia from Memphis taking Xavier Tillman. Then the Alvarado one's even worse because Kyra, EJ, maybe even Najee Marshall. You could have Kyra right now. Just go trade for him. Yeah, but for the exercise of all the things that you had here, I can't believe what you did with your first three picks. I can't believe it. I can't wait for Alvarado to tweet at you in like three days with an eyeball emoji. Guess some people aren't in yet. Something like that. I still have some work left. My guess is this expansion draft isn't going to get to them. That's just a guess. All right. This was fun. Rosillo, good to see you. We have no other NBA news to talk about because nothing's happening, but you can check out his podcast. We're going to be doing the NBA over-unders with House in probably first, second week of October on this podcast. You have some live shows down the road that we're going to talk about at some point. Can we promote any of those yet or no? We can't. Yeah, I think we can do the Ole Miss. We're going to be LSU Ole Miss. Van and I are going to do a show together before the game. I think Friday night before the game. In the near end of September, right? Yeah. Then I'm going to do something locally here in Manhattan Beach, which we think is pretty much done. Then I think there's an F1 deal potentially in Vegas. Excited. Van wants to go to Baton Rouge with you and do a live pod. He says there will be people there waiting for it. I like going to Baton Rouge as much as anywhere in the fall. I just don't really like working once I get there. We'll see.All right. That's it for the podcast. Thanks to Rossello. Thanks to Isaiah Blakely. Thanks to Steve Cerruti. Don't forget about Destination NBA G League Odyssey premiering on Prime Video available to stream on Tuesday, August 8th, 303 Watchables movie coming tomorrow night, National Lampoon's Vacation.

"Leakers. This is probably easy. Oh, I guess if the rookie, it isn't. If JAJS is not available, so their seven would be LeBron, AD, Reeves, Rui, Vincent, Vanderbilt. And then there's two spots left for Torian Prince, who I think we both love for that team. I can't wait to see him on a good team, even if it is the Lakers, so I hate. Then you got Russell and Hayes, you got Reddish and then you have Max Christie, who's only 20 years old and everybody really likes him. And I think if all the guys I listed, I think Christie would be the one that just immediately got taken, so you almost might have to keep him. We're going to come off as the biggest Max Christie guys here for a couple of minutes. This actually isn't easy for the Lakers because the reason you probably did the D'Angelo-Russell deal, which is 17.3 million this year, and then a player option for 19 million, is they need that for a trade. Yeah. Well, combined with Rui, it equals Kyrie, which is the all-time red flag math. You just add up the contracts. It's like, oh, that's almost exactly Kyrie's number. Cool. So they all love Christie out here, right? You've probably heard the same stuff. He's good. Yeah. No, I think they think he's a real guy. So would you expose... The leaving clay unprotected argument is different than the D'Angelo-Russell one because I think I'd feel better about like, ah, I don't think they're going to take D'Angelo-Russell and then have him be the point guy for the team, like the stuff that you're supposed to do right. And then D'Angelo-Russell is running your basketball team. I think it's well established how I feel about that. But then can you tell LeBron like, hey, we exposed our best trade chip for Max Christie? It's a really tough one because they signed that Russell deal specifically to trade him in February. And I think even Russell, he waved stuff. He was just like, dude, here's an extra 7 million. You're a trade asset for us this year. It's more money than you're going to make. And he was like, great. Maybe you'll keep me. So if you expose him, I do agree that he would probably get picked. But I don't want to lose Christie. So I guess the question for me is, do you value Prince more than Russell on a team that's trying to win? I think they need Prince. I think he's going to be really important for them this year. So you're saying, all right, so then give me the two of the three that you're protecting if you're the Lakers between Prince, Christie and Russell. Prince and Christie for me. So you'd leave Russell exposed. I would. I'm okay with it because I wasn't even like nuts about signing him anyway. And I'm only doing it to trade him. And now I lose the possibility to trade him. You only are keeping him if you know you have a trade in February. And maybe they do, or maybe they think they have a chance. So then at that point, I guess you leave Prince exposed. But you could always trade Rui if it was a guy you really liked and you're trying to figure out how to get the contracts. And they've got a couple of the minimums with Reddish and Jackson Hayes. All right. So what's our final answer? See, the audience is enjoying this. They're like, man, I didn't think this was going to be fun, but now I'm involved in a Christie versus Prince argument. This is great. This is actually, I think it should be like pick up hoops where every other call that's debated, you just all turn like, all right, we got the last one. You get this one. It's the only way to be efficient instead of watching arguments while guys smoke cigarettes for 10 minutes. So I pushed back so hard on the clay thing. You can be the tiebreaker on this one. Then I get the next one. I'm going to leave Russell exposed. All right. Detroit. They're keeping Cade, the Thompson twin, Ivy. I think they keep Wiseman. Stewart, they just signed. Jaylen Duren. And after that, I don't know. Oh, Monty Morris I had just because I think he's a trade asset, I think they keep him. So maybe that's seven. So I had one spot left for Bagley and Burks and they're going to expose him. Burks is an expiring. Detroit could also do the thing where they just protect seven and they're like have at it. No, I don't think they would do that. Because did you mention Livers? I think they like him. Okay. So we'll make Livers the eight. That's easy. All right. That's good. The Knicks Brunson, Randall, Barrett, Josh Hart, Mitchell Robinson, DDV quickly. And then that last spot comes down to Grimes, Hartenstein or McBride. And I had Grimes down on the initial list, but if you want to make the Hartenstein case, I'm here for it. Because I think he gets picked in five seconds. Yeah. I protected Hartenstein. All right. But they're in a spot. They're going to lose somebody in this, whether it's Grimes, Miles McBride, Jericho Sims. I imagine Fournier is not going to be in demand. Fournier available. Yeah. But it's Randall Brunson, RJ, Mitchell Robinson, Hart, DiVincenzo quickly and Hartenstein. Oklahoma City is the most screwed in this gimmick. I thought they were going to be way worse off than they were, but go ahead. Oh, I guess if you're going to take out Wallace, what about this Michic? Michic? Michic? Yeah. This point guard? Yeah. I think they would protect him. But we're saying they have to protect him. He's not like a typical rookie. Because they brought him over. Okay. So we got SGA, Giddy, Chet Holmgren, Jalen and Jalen, Dort, Michic. And then that eighth spot comes down to Williams, Poku, Dang. Oh, it'd probably be Mann. Garuba, they like, and Isaiah Joe. I'm guessing it's Mann. I don't know. What do you think? I'll let you defer. You watched more OKC than I did this year. I'm probably a little too high on Usman, Dang, but I don't think that they would leave him unprotected. They took him that high. He was somebody that you thought, wow, as he put it together his last year in the Australian league, you could see that he was doing some things. So he really fits their profile. So I just don't think he would be left unprotected. So it's SGA, Dort, Chet, Giddy, both Williams, Dang and Michic. So that means it's Bertons, who's got a big number, Oladipo, Kenrich Williams, Garuba, who I loved reading. Some of the stuff with Hoops Hype, not always my favorite, but when you get a nugget like Danilo Gallinari telling some international newspaper that he's going to circle every Celtics date. I loved it. And you're like, what the fuck? Why are you mad at the Celtics? And then there was another moment where Garuba was telling people that he was like, you know, I was in a bad spot previously and they were like, all right, yeah, no problem. So anyway, I had Isaiah Joe available. Yep. Got him, Tiff. So Poku's available. Okay. So we'll have a top four pick in this draft. Poku could be the face of a franchise. Just put him right in the poster. Put him on the poster. I guess if we're saying rookies are not eligible, then Kobe cannot be picked, but it's Young Murray, Okongwoo, Griffin, Capella, Hunter, Bogdanovich. And then that eighth spot is either Sadiq Bey or Jalen Johnson. I'll let you pick. I put Bey down to be protected, but it'd be tough. I didn't like Jalen Johnson out of Duke. I thought there were still moments in the playoffs where he looked pretty scared, but when the moments were good, there was some really good stuff there. So he would be picked if he's left unprotected. And I think Bey wins that tiebreaker. Sacramento has a seven of Fox, Sabonis, Keegan Murray, Herter, Monk, Harrison Barnes. So they just brought back in Davion Mitchell. And that eighth spot is between Vezinkov, Lyles, Duarte. It seems like they like Vezinkov. So I'm assuming that would be the guy they protected, right? They were all excited about bringing him over. Yeah. He's a big dude. The three-point shooting has been pretty solid. And I think he falls into the Meachich category here. Yep. Last team is Utah. Wait, wait, wait. So unprotected for Sacramento would be who? Lyles, Duarte, Alex Len, Nurlans-Noel, Kessler-Edwards? Yes. Utah is tough because it's got marketing, Kessler, Clarkson. Oh, I guess George doesn't count. Okay. And neither does Hendricks. So therefore it would be marketing, Kessler, Clarkson, and Agbaji. And then we'd have to go Collins, Sexton, Olenek. I guess it's not as tough if we're taking the rookies. It's not that hard. Horton, Tucker. Okay. All right. They're unprotected just to be it's your seven, Chris Dunn, Shimonich. Horton, Tucker. Yeah. You learned a lot from LeBron. They can do that thing. All right. We're going to take a break and then we're going to do the draft. But before we take a break, do you want to be Seattle or do you want to be Vegas in this expansion draft? I would love to be Seattle. I fought hard for them in 2007 and 08, and I'm happy to hand Vegas to you. I'll take Vegas, but you have way more of a history of Vegas than I do. So you want Seattle? I'm happy to defer. That's fine. I'll take Vegas. You push for Seattle. I do have a Yellow Sonics t-shirt though that's kicking around somewhere. It's amazing what t-shirts you discover when you move. All right. Coming back, the draft. All right. It's time. It's the 2023 expansion draft that will never happen in August, but we don't care because there's nothing else to talk about. What do you want us to... You want us to have a Dame Lord, Miami conversation? It's not happening. I thought that deal was done. Nobody cares. I forgot. I forgot they figured out the deal a while ago. Do you have a name? Wait, wait. Do you have a team name? We're the Seattle SuperSonics. We're back. You're right. You're right. What are you going to be? Has anyone ever had an emotion? The Vegas regrets? The Vegas regrets? Right. And their mascot's just a guy with short sleeve button down, balding, bags under his eyes, reading a credit card statement. I love the Vegas regrets. That's funny. He just goes around, high fives kids, hugs them. It's just so good to see you again. I would buy a Vegas regrets basketball t-shirt right now. All right. The Vegas regrets are on the clock with the first pick. Who do you have? I almost didn't want the first pick. I'll take the first pick if you don't want it. I'll take it. No, this is history. I'm going to take Quinton Grimes. Okay. Quinton Grimes off the board. How do you feel about that? Good contract. What's he at? Good contract. He's still on a rookie deal. Yeah. Good asset. Can probably flip him. Would your expansion strategy be assets you can flip or guys you can build around or both? Because I would be in the assets. If I would just emulate what Presti would do in this situation, I think Presti would just be, I want assets. I want picks. I'll take guys you don't want. Give me a pick back. All that stuff. I would be down for all of it, but I don't know that I'm going to completely tell you my strategy here on draft day. Very fair. Very fair. That's what Costner would do. Do you like how I tried to get you to tell me your strategy? It's very Danny Ainge of you. Seattle SuperSonics on the clock. This is already tough. I don't like the board. Dude, you are not going to like the board. Ask Ringer to not do a breakout graphic of expansion draft teams because no one's going to go through the exercise. They're just going to look and be like, are you serious? These teams are terrible. We're breaking the rules. We're doing it after the off season. I can't wait. I can't wait until I pick. I can't wait for your pick right now. I'm going to take Kenridge Williams. Okay. He's off the board. What's his salary? Four years, 27 million. Basically six a year. 29 years old. I feel like I could flip them. Who do you got? Did we say Jalen Johnson's available then? Yes. All right. I'll take Jalen Johnson. Jalen Johnson. Nice pick. I'm going to take Xavier Tillman. Great value. I like my team already. I got some NBA players. You have Quentin Grimes, Jalen Johnson. I have Kenridge Williams and Xavier Tillman. Okay. That means... Kenrick Williams or Kenrich Williams? I always screw this up with Kenrich. I got it. You almost want it to be Kenrick because... Yeah, Kenrich. Okay. I don't think anybody does. Here's what's interesting. Because it's a two team draft, does that mean I can't take another Nick? No. Does that mean you can take a Nick? Nope. Once a team loses a guy, they're out of the draft. All right. I was almost going to... I might've had... If there was no rule like that, I may have gone three or four Nicks just to get started. Sims to McBride to Grimes down the lane. They lost their guy. Okay. So what did we land on with Memphis? Well, see, wait, they just... You took Xavier Tillman. So because you took Tillman, I can't take Aldama or La Ravia or Roddy, the body. Nope. Can't do it. The other expansion room is motherfucking you right now. They're like, seriously, of all the Memphis options, that's what you went with and now none of those guys are available? We're going to take Tillman to lunch tomorrow and be like, look, man, our whole offense is pick and pop with you, baby. You are a 2010 guy. This is happening. Okay. I got to go back to my larger board here. I was thinking about taking Thanasis for the Lakers or Heat. You like that? Too soon. I couldn't believe Miami didn't give him like 5 million a year. The full mid-level? Yeah. The full mid-level for like four years. Or they would have been when they get it. I don't know the latest numbers. Okay. All right. All right. I'm on the clock. Turning into the Vikings here. I know. Well, because we kind of left a few things. So does that mean Gary Payton was our option for Golden State? You can take them right now. See you on the Vegas Regrets. All right. I know what I wanted to do. I figured you would go wing heavy. No, I still have a theory that's still in play here. It doesn't matter. That Xavier Tillman thing sort of fucked me a little bit here. So you're taking Gary Payton? Well, I'm going to need somebody that I know can play, which even though my team's going to stink, I'll take Gary Payton because that way, at least contractually, it's not that big of a deal. I don't love him away from Golden State necessarily, but I'll take him just because I think there's a good chance that somebody else will want him if he stays healthy. So there you go. I'm going to take Jose Alvarado. You can have him. You just did it again. You ruined all the other Pelicans options because you're taking the... You know what I'm doing? I'm building a culture, Rossello. Guys from overachieving winning programs. Alvarado, you know who's going to love Alvarado? My fans in Seattle. We are screaming at you in our draft room. Wow, who would you have taken? Okay, but just to back up here, of the final New Orleans options, all right, we said Nance would be protected, and then that left Kyra Lewis, Najee, Alvarado, and EJ Laddell, and you decided to take Alvarado, and now I can't take any of the other guys. You cannot. Sorry. Kyra Lewis, man. Kyra Lewis has been available for a year and a half. He's been hurt. He's out of the rotation. You can trade for him right now. I guarantee the Vegas Regrets could acquire him for a second round pick. Yeah, but I'd rather just not had to go through the negotiation stuff. That's all. All right, now who else would you... I can't believe you did back-to-back teams where you fucked it up for me. You should have taken guys from those teams. Delos staring at you now. That's the antithesis of what I would want to do. So is Sam Houser. Kevin Porter Jr. Probably wouldn't do it, but I think he'd be protected anyway. His contract's really weird anyway with the staggered guarantees. I actually had... Oh, I guess we didn't do Houston. There's a Porter versus Joc Landau versus Tate. Which one of those guys becomes protected? I thought they would leave Porter unprotected. He's got a weird contract where you can get out of it at the end of the year anyway, but why would that team want Porter? If I'm a new expansion team, I'm not giving Kevin Porter Jr. the basketball and saying, it's yours. This is your team. You're our number one option. Even though he's really talented, I just wouldn't want to do it. Let's double check here with Houston then, because we didn't go through it. Well, Houston has Van Vliet, Jabari, Thompson, Whitmore, Jalen Green, Sengoon, and Eason as the guaranteed seven. And then that eighth spot is either Porter or Landau. Or you could take your guy, Jeff Green. Culture? No doubt. No doubt. I protected Tate and left Landau, Holiday, and Green unprotected. Let's say that then. That's fine. I can't take Tate, because I love myself some Jay Sean Tate, probably too much. Yeah, you're right. They would protect him. He's got a good contract, Tate. I'm going to hold off on that, and I'm going to go ahead and take Rubio. Rubio? Rubio. Interesting. What's his money? Two years left, 12 and a half million this year, and then it's 10 plus million guaranteed. I'm already on the books for a little bit more than I thought I would be this and into it. That's fine. But if we go through Cleveland, it's Garland, it's Mitchell, it's Allen, it's Mobley, Le Vert protected, Struce protected, Acoro protected, and I protected Niang. I just think there's worse teammates you could have for a younger group. But the thing is about culture and all this stuff, all of these guys are going to be replaced in three years. So what are you really building? You're selling uniforms and hopefully some tickets. For Dallas, if Lively can't be protected, Kleber would be their eighth guy, and they would have Luca, Kyrie, Grant Williams, Hardy, Kleber. Kleber is definitely protected. Josh Green, Curry, and O-Max. So that means Dwight Powell is available. Just wanted to mention that. Right, but O-Max is on the rookie thing. Oh, I guess O-Max. So that Dwight Powell wouldn't be available then. So that Dallas becomes harder then. Okay, but here's what I did. I'll run through a quick. Luca, Kyrie, Haraway Jr., Grant Williams, who's loving it already. Kleber, Josh Green without question. I can't believe Seth Curry gets a one year, $4 million deal with the second year not guaranteed in today's NBA, but that's what happened. That was awesome. And then I think they'd protect Jaden Hardy over JaVale, Rashawn Holmes, Powell, and Exum. I agree. So for Orlando, Powell, O'Franz, Black. Oh, Black's not. That screwed up my board. So Anthony. All right, so they don't really have anybody. Orlando was a little easier than I thought it would be too. Do you want me to run through what I have for Orlando? Well, who'd you have for Toronto? Because Toronto was Siakam Barnes, Inenobi, Pertl, Boucher, Precious, Koloko, and either Trent, Shruder, McDaniels, or Flynn as the eighth. Probably Flynn would be the eighth, right? I don't know. It's Siakam, Pertl, OG, Trent, Barnes, Shruder, Precious, Boucher, Boucher. I don't know why. So do you have Trent as a protected for them? I do. If you don't like the contract, do you think they'd leave it? Well, if Trent's the one who's protected, then- That would leave Thaddeus Young, AKA Thadgic Johnson, which I found on Basketball Reference, had never heard that. Otto Porter, Jalen McDaniels, who disappeared for the Sixers, Malachi Flynn, AKA Malichi Flynn on one NBA league pass broadcast this year. Garrett Temple, Jeff Dowton, Koloko. You know what? I'm going to take Jalen McDaniels. I think he was on a bad team in Charlotte, gets traded to Philly mid-season, gets thrown into the fire, is not ready to play in some of those games because he doesn't have the experience, and now is a distressed asset and we're going to rebuild him here in Seattle. So that's my eighth pick. So I have Kenrich Williams, Tillman, Alvarado, Jalen McDaniels, and the Vegas Regrets are on the clock. Okay. Give me Duarte. I was looking at him. That's a good pick. He was out of the rotation. He had some injuries, obviously, as well, but I fucking loved his draft stuff, man. And he shot, I think, like 39% his rookie year and there were different people involved with it. So meaning the guard rotation with the Pacers and it just was between his injuries and the lack of minutes and everything, I don't know that his numbers last year reflect who he actually is. So I'll take a shooter. A Detroit guy needs to go. I like the pick. A Detroit guy needs to go here and it's between Bagley and Burks and Killian Hayes. It can finally happen for you, man. You and Bags. It's not going to be Bags. I'm going to take a flyer on Killian Hayes, who I got to say... You're laughing. I got to say... He had a couple moments last year where I was like, all right. Did he? Yeah. Yeah. A couple moments. Give me a moment. Give me a Killian Hayes moment where you said, I see it. Eye test. Flicking around on league pass. Like, all right. I liked how he ran that high screen there. I'm just betting on pedigree. Lottery pick. They take a point guard like a year later. Weird situation. Lots of players. They had 40 big guys. Give them a whirl in Seattle. You're on the clock. Okay. I can't believe we didn't take Poku. I kind of regret that now. Well, wait a minute. Has anybody been taken? No, I took an OKC guy. They're off the table. You took all the Sacramento guys. Oh, that's right. Because you also took Trey Mann out of the mix and Poku. This is an unbelievable run of... You eliminated all the good players from OKC, Memphis, and New Orleans. You took the Knicks. I was there to take Hartenstein. Hartenstein. All right. Who do you got? We're now in D-low range just for the record. Fair. Fair. I'll do this because at least I know he can play and the number still isn't that bad. Give me Dwight Powell. Yep. I like it. What I've done is I have like 30 million in three guys. Good value. Not even. I'm like 25 million with the three guys. Then I have room to work here because I still want to come in under the cap. If I don't trade for anybody, all these guys get raises. They get expansion into the ear checks. I am going to go with the guy that I've liked for a while. He's still on a rookie deal. I think he's got some talent. His name is Zeke Naji, and all the nuggets are now off the board. That's fine. We can adjust. You like Zeke? I don't hate him. Malone's not going to play a lot of younger guys. They didn't need to. The rotation got even shorter. That's why I think it's interesting that Booth takes three rookies in, and they're all talking about like, hey, we love these guys. They can all play. They can do all these different things, and they're more seasoned. That's what we like here in Denver. Then I'd be like, I can't wait to watch all of them never play. Can we go over the Denver question though? Because I think this is a good way to break up this part of the draft. Well, Denver had Jokic, Murray, Gordon, Porter, KCP, Braun. I had Holiday as their seventh because they seemed like they wanted to play. Christian Braun's another off-season pronunciation. I don't blame you. Did I say Braun or Brown? You said Braun. I meant Brown. Yeah, everybody did. Would you leave Porter Jr. unprotected with four years and 150 million left fully guaranteed? I can't. It's a good question. I did think about it, you can't because you have this window with Jokic where you have the best player in the world that is prime. Porter had really good moments in the playoffs. You probably can't because then again, it comes down to like, okay, cool. It's off the books and his back and the medical concerns and all that, but then what? Now what are we doing? You just want a title. I think you're right on that one. I do like Hunter Tyson though. I don't know if his contract is as bad anymore when we see some of these numbers coming in. It's 33, 36, 38, 40 in the last year for the next four. Look, not great. I'm not celebrating it, but when you see Jalen's going to be at 70 in year five, I just don't think those numbers are that daunting. Fair. We're going to see some crazy contracts. Who do you have next? We've each taken six people. I'm going to start digging into my old – I know I don't have to worry about it. Give me Josh Minot. Who do you want? Josh Minot. You all right? I don't know who that is. He's the incredibly, incredibly skinny dude that has all sorts of skills. He's on Timberwolves. I guess I could have taken him a little bit later. I think this is another good segue. I never saw him play one minute of basketball last year. You didn't see him in the summer league at all? No. Oh, okay. All right. Look, there's just something about him. Now we're letting some of the area scouts get more influence here going, what if this guy put it together? I don't think it's a certainty they would leave – that they would protect Rudy Gobert. This is exciting right now for me. This is going to be the most exciting pick of the draft. This will be the breakout. Okay. But can we touch on the Rudy thing for a second? Whether you lead him out? Right. You and I would, but I don't think they can. That might be the right answer. But if you – You can't because then it's like you're just admitting we've made the most damaging trade of the last 25 years. I also – I have a zag. I'm glad you're sitting down. They probably did the best job against Denver last year in the playoffs out of the four teams. Like they gave those big guys – nobody gave Jokic like a shitload of trouble, but he kind of had to work the hardest against them. And I have to go through Jokic to win the title, and I want size. I want big dudes. And Minnesota has him and Nas and Towns. And I don't know, you can talk yourself into it if that's the team you have to go through. Did you see the stuff where he was shooting threes in the summer? There was a video – Honestly, I would like all summer content of big guys doing shit they'll never, ever do in a game. I would like to be blocked from all of it moving forward. Don't go to Hoopsite then. And I know 12-year-olds run a lot of these breakout accounts, but seeing a seven-footer at LA Fitness pull up from NBA 3 after going between his legs will never do it in an NBA game and then being like, this dude's been putting in the work this summer. And you're like, all right, cool. Anyway, if Minnesota had a tougher decision for the eighth guy to be protected, I think it'd be a real conversation. Go Bears, 41 million, 44 million. Player option for 47 million. He'll be 33 in his last year. Probably pick that one up. So that would leave you with Kat Conley, Edwards, Nas Reed, Kyle Anderson, Alexander Walker, Janet McDaniels. And then you'd have Shaq and Mina covered there, or you could go Wendell Moore if you liked him. That would have to be like a camp thing where they're around him all the time. They're like, oh, we don't want to leave this guy. But you're probably right. So I'm not going to spend any more time on it that they would feel like they couldn't do it. Because there's also the part, like imagine today's world, today's generation of NBA players, like his documentary starts 10 years from now and be like, they left me exposed in the 2023 expansion draft. It's like the Steph Curry draft. Underrated. The Steph Curry story. He was the sixth pick in the draft. This is like one of the most famous college players in the last 15 years. Nobody believed in me. LeBron, I'm not even supposed to be here. Dude, you're fucking 6'9 and you move like no one we've ever seen. Yeah. You're the biggest short thing that's come into the league since I've been alive. Ben Simmons. My next pick is going to surprise you, stun you. Ben Simmons. I know what it is. Oh my God. Ben Simmons. Okay. Let's go through Brooklyn. So you're right. He's unprotected in this exercise. Bridges, Cam Johnson, Claxton, Phinney Smith, O'Neill, whatever. Whoever they... Sharp, Cam Thomas, whoever, but they're leaving Ben Simmons unprotected, hoping somebody takes him. And he's definitely unprotected. And guess what? I just took him. We're bringing him to Seattle. We're going to introduce him to Gus Williams. All the Sonics fans. We're going to rebuild you, Ben Simmons. You're going to be the face of our franchise. And also I got to spend $89 million. I need one expensive guy. So why not Ben Simmons? There we go. Are you serious? Are you doing this for the video? I am not doing it for the video. I think if I'm an expansion team, what's the worst thing that could happen? I want to be bad anyway. Right? I want to be bad. I want to have a bottom five team. I want to take flyers on guys who have talent. I want to take assets that I feel like I can flip and I want to have a certain identity. And with Simmons, is there a 5% chance he might put it back together? He's like 25. This is over? Other than cocaine stories and shit like that, there's no version of this ever in the history of the league where somebody just completely lost it at age 24, who was an all NBA guy. And I know the odds are against it, but if I'm an expansion team, what do I care? I'll roll the dice with Ben Simmons. But I would tell the Nets, I'll take Ben Simmons, but can I get a first in like 2029? Or float me three seconds down the road or something. I would try to get something from them, but I would want him in this. Wow. I would want him in this. He would never have taken... No way. No way. I don't want him around. I don't want to see his videos being posted, speaking of videos in the off season, and then not playing. His whole, the JJ Reddick podcast episode alone would make me not take him. Here's the thing about football players and basketball players. When they hit their late 20s, there is a lot of track record of guys either figuring out, maturing, just kind of putting shit together. And maybe it happens with him. I think it's worth the gamble. All right, you're up. The Vegas regrets. You just took a guy that I've literally never heard of, and I follow basketball for a living. I wasn't on the Minnesota Summer League scene this year. I was really doubling down on that one. I'm just trying to go for it. I have a list of players who'd be like, hey, I always kind of liked that guy. What happened to him? Kyra Lewis. He would have been on the Vegas regrets. He didn't take fucking Alvarado. Give me Dalen Terry, Chicago Bulls. I like that one. I just always liked his game. Yeah. That's a good one. I had him. He was probably my next pick. He was on your radar? Yeah. You're not seeing the Alvarado thing. I'm an expansion team. I need somebody that's going to go to the fucking malls in Seattle with my jersey on and throw little balls out to people who's going to do interviews, who's going to be just like the fan favorite immediately, especially if I have Ben Simmons on my team. I need a fan favorite. Right. The Alvarado pick now makes way more sense. Thank you. You're trying to counter whatever vibes you have him wearing civvies, game 41. I need a shooter who has trade value and it's Sam Hazard time. I knew that was the biggest lock. I can't believe it took so long. I wasn't going to take him. I almost took him two rounds ago, but I knew I could get him right around here. Cheap contract. He's played in some games. Sneaky, decent defender. He's gotten better every year, and I look forward to seeing Ben Simmons find him in the corner for corner threes. I have Kenridge Williams, Tillman, Alvarado, McDaniels, Killeen Hayes, Zeke Nagy, Ben Simmons, and Sam Hazard. That's a pretty good basketball team. You have Quentin Grimes, Jalen Johnson, Gary Payton, Ricky Rubio, Chris Duarte, Dwight Powell, the Minnesota Summer League legend, and Dale and Terry. How many do you want to go here? Do you want to go 12, 15? We're going 15. We're drafting one from every team. We have not had a Laker yet. No, we haven't. I'm going to just let you know, even though my approach would tell you that Cam Reddish, be like, hey, what happened to that guy, baby? No, we're good. Not going to happen. It's funny that we argued for five minutes about whether they would leave D'Lo unprotected, and we've just taken 16 players and he hasn't been picked yet. You knew I wasn't taking them. I'm not. I know. I can just get them later. I'm excited about it. You could take them 16. Should we talk about Miami? The reason I bring this up is for one specific reason. All right, so my protectors, I have Butler Bam Hero, Caleb Martin, Jovic, who's apparently fucking awesome. Actually, that's kind of a Lillard joke, but I like Jovic before the draft. I like Jovic too. I don't think he should be the centerpiece of a Dame Lillard trade, but I like him. That's kind of a joke. That's kind of a joke. They actually have to kind of protect Lowry, right, to keep the money for potential trade? The thing is, yeah, they do. I had them leaving Kevin Love and Highsmith unprotected. Okay, so if Highsmith is unprotected, I'm taking him right now. The problem is if it's Butler Bam, Martin, Hero, Jovic, Duncan Robinson, Kyle Lowry, there's still an eight spot for them, and they probably protect Highsmith or Love, right? So we have to decide what makes more sense for them. I had Highsmith protected. I worked it to go, all right, this is another one of the Miami heat culture development guys, and if I think there's somebody who I liked some of his minutes, and I liked a lot of Highsmith's minutes last year- You and I both liked him, yeah. So then he's protected. We can't manipulate. I had a moment late last night where I was like, just fucking get Precious Ochoa unprotected and get your dude. And then I was like, no, I can't break the rules of the game. I had him unprotected because I thought we were counting rookies, but since we aren't, I think he has to be protected. They don't have enough guys. So it's probably Kevin Love for that team. Yeah, and it's not a ton of money, so we'll be okay.

"Game because you know that right there seems to be incredibly optional for the Memphis Grizzlies in a loss. Well, not just to wrench the grizzly just Dylan Brooks. Let's not put that on the team. That guy. I walked up to him, but that guy right there, man. He's unrestricted free agent. I'd be surprised. If anybody looked at this as a GM and owner, player personnel, VPR, another head coach in the NBA and thought. Yeah, there's an unrestricted free agent that I want. And like you said, the iron, the ironic thing that I don't respect nobody until they put 40 on me and LeBron's guy said, don't worry about it, bro, we know you can't do 40 no more. We know you're not that guy anymore. We'll just go out as a team and beat them by 40. A, I was impressed. I came front, man. I was like, okay, that's poetic justice right there. There's your 40 do you respect them now? And then, of course, there's a clip of him being let out of the arena and the Lake or fans are out there last night, just giving him the business. As they should. Now, what's your rebuttal? Where are you going? Because you made the equivalent to draymond. And Dylan Brooks. And I think that's a comparison that a lot of people are making in general, right? Kind of an offensively limited guy. But go back and watch the last two, three games of the Golden State king series, after now, of course, obviously if you watch the first three, you see draymond, getting grabbed and using some bonus as a step stool and all time. But whatever, right? That's right. He's always in the mix, right? He's always, but to the point of Dylan Brooks was always in the mix. So is draymond green. But you know what draymond green did in a game in the warriors absolutely needed to have. Absolutely had to win, right? He goes, I think he's hitting one leg of jumpers. Going 6 for 7 from the floor. Where did he have like 22 or 22 points? And then in the game before that one, and the game before that, he struggled offensively, but you know what? He's still shooting a damn ball. He's putting the ball in play. And if you are not, it's one of my biggest things that we'll talk about this series in a minute, but lose me with sabonis being an all star. If you can't, if the defensive adjustment is to not guard you, you're no longer an all star. Yeah. And then stop it. Stop it. So when the defensive adjustment is to no longer guard your wing player, then this is what drives me crazy because the Knicks traded for Josh Hart at the deadline. Huge deal. The Lakers made all types of deals at the deadline, took a team that was dead in the water and gave him life, right? The warriors made a deal to deadline and you can't tell me that Gary Payton junior and his four offensive rebounds in that stretching game in game 5 weren't a big part of the difference. The putback dunk was yeah. He was everywhere. He was everywhere. The Memphis grizzly training for the lead leading three point percentage guy right now. Luc canard has one in three point contests in this league. And you gonna sit up there and let Dylan Brooks shoot a 20% from three 30% from the floor? In a league in which your point guard can't shoot, but he's dynamic to the rim, you need spacing. So is that coaching? Absolutely. It's absolutely coaching. He finally clicked in and was like, oh wait, I got this call left handed white boy that can burn it. From out here. Let me go ahead and put them in. And then he gets hurt. Yeah. But like, if Dylan Brooks, you're defensive, we're going to talk about this in the draft too, but if you drive the position and then you need that position, that's a terrible draft pick, right? If you spend if you spend your first round pick on a cornerback, for example. And you look at team needs and team needs are still cornerback. That's a bad. Your defensive stopper. In the NBA is not guarding the best offensive player on the court. He has to go. Yeah, you still need a defensive stopper. If we are if I'm looking at Xavier Tillman, guarding LeBron effectively, I'm there again. I was there in game 5. I'm looking at Xavier Tillman guard LeBron effectively. What's Dylan Brooks doing on the floor? Cutting off all the often Reeves minutes. But back to the draymond and Brooks comparison. I wasn't comparing them as far as player to player what I'm comparing them as if your statement of Dylan Brooks do them Memphis grizzly thing Dylan versus is going to score a bunch of points. No, do the go to State Warriors think that draymond green's going to score a bunch of points. No, that's the only comparison that might make a draymond green runs the offense. Like 80% of the time when he's on that floor, he is running. He is a true point for people that say, draymond wouldn't be this good on another team. That's one of the most idiotic statements I've heard because he can still he'll go to any team. Now he may not be running the offense with clay and with Steph, but he will still any cultural say, hey, I know you can do it. So this is where we're going to do. We're going to take the ball out of your hands, let you run around a little more freely. And put them in Cleveland. And let Donovan Mitchell move around a little more. They're a better basketball team. I don't know if they'd be the next but they're a better basketball team. So Dylan Brooks, you put him on any other team and man, that guy might be in that guy might be in China soon. I hate to say that, but it's just, what are you doing? When I watch him shoot, I always think he's going to miss. I don't think I've ever seen a player other than Bill Cartwright. And my lifetime, watching the NBA, that when they spot up for a shot, me thinking they missed comes first, then me even saying he might hit that show and do a brick shoots. His form is ugly, his form is off. It's never like on as long as long or short, it's left, it's right. It's high, it's loads, air ball is breaking off the side of the backboard. He is terrible. Going back to Oregon. Just ever been a crazy efficient score. No, no. But my thing is, though, I'm here for the idea that you got to run a defensive guy out there, get him a few shots, get him something, whatever. But at a certain point, I am looking at Taylor Jenkins here. He's talking about his team, has no maturity. Look, I get it for you. I've been on this for two years, but at the part of it is, you know, listen, everybody, there's under 25. I understand. I think mature, I'm not saying that maturity is something that is something you should take for. It's almost something you should take for granted. You're going to have to, you have incredibly incredibly talented team right now. He

"To contest one of these Illuminati mid range dudes. But yeah, I can't. I love watching Westbrook. People think I hate Westbrook because of the numbers and all that. But no, I love him. He's one of my favorite players to watch in person because the fury, he's just jumps off the screen in a way that no other player does. And Norman Powell, we have to say like, jeez, did they? Did they just waste the great Norman Powell performance? I mean, this dude was on fire too. And the clippers, I would say it's just sad, Zach, because when you look at it is what it is, but it seems like it's just the same old soup to just reheated. We discussed this team in March on that same playoff preview started as a podcast. We did on the west and in the oceans of numbers available to both of us. We both year it on the same thing. Why should we believe in the clippers? Well, if you look at the numbers when Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are on the court, they can beat anyone and the numbers back it up. Well, here we are again and neither of them are available and you just hope that they can get one or both of them back because this series is not over. If Kawhi is playing games before, absolutely not dude. Yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable. I was a suns fan. If Kawhi is playing game four, the series is, I mean, maybe not a toss up because the sons have home court advantage and Kevin Durant and Chris Paul and Devin Booker, but it's a series. I mean, Kauai has been that good in this. He's been the best player in the series for his play. In game three, one note for son's haters is they had the four highest played players in game three and they won by 5 points. And look, and if he can't come back, you saw the trickle down effect, Marcus Morris gets back in the game and the sons are going to go at him, hunt him down every time. Bones highland, they're going to hunt him down every time you start having to double team and then the clippers finally resort to playing 5 guards at the same time, which kind of threw the sun's for a little bit of a loop. If they do that again, step one to me is I'm putting 8 in on Russell Westbrook. Ayton was on Terence Mann and it was the same thing where like my big man is half in the corner, half in the lane, not sure what to do. It's the same thing with Colbert and the playoffs. I'm putting them on Russ. I'm saying like I've centers guard Russ plenty. You guard Russ, you stay involved in the play. And I don't think they'll be caught off guard by that again, but just a wild game down to the very end. And you just hope Kawhi plays. As you go, I know you were watching on TV. Watching on TV. Watching on TV. Lakers grizzlies. Resumes tomorrow at the crypto dot com bla bla in LA. It's one one after the grizzlies without John Moran without Steven Adams without Brandon Clark and with big body, David roddy and Xavier Tillman, one game two, I thought it was like an incredibly disappointing effort from the Lakers. I thought their offense was just and credit to the grizzlies obviously for their defense, but I thought the Lakers were totally unfocused. LeBron was just not in predatory mode. LeBron letting Luke canard to be on the floor. Is not really something I expected. They didn't attack those matchups. Similar to when the sixers fell apart in the third quarter against Brooklyn last night, it was like because embiid wasn't touching the ball. What are you doing? Just give him beat the ball. It's like, I just didn't think they had enough juice or urgency on offense. And the grizzlies made them pay. And now we come back to the crypt and maybe morant plays, maybe he doesn't. But the Lakers in game one all the talk was, oh my God, is this a finals team? And then they can't win game two without morant and, you know, it reminds you that, yeah, the team has been very good since the trade that line there were also just kind of an okay team. All year. What are you looking for in game three? Anthony Davis, you can't lose to Xavier Tillman on the glass on the box score on effort. He's got to be better. I mean, he made 29% of his shots. It's one of his worst playoff shooting performances ever. In a game that he was probably not facing one of the best front courts in opponents that he's played and he's won a championship. I think, yeah, the LeBron era is and I'm not the first person to say this. This is more about Anthony Davis. Especially in a series with jaren Jackson, you've got to show up on both ends of the court and forget jaren Jackson. He couldn't even have played Xavier Tillman. Well, defensively he's showed up every second of every game. AD has been sensational. The shot blocking has been his best feature. I think he's had at least 5 blocks in both games, but dude, it's the same passage stuff. I know you have guard skills, but you have the second best sort of scoring package into the paint besides maybe Yanis of any physical big, we've got and that's what I want to see him do, or get to the free throw line. You shot four three throws in that game, and again, jaren Jackson is the walking personal foul, and it's tactically not so far. And that's a big deal. And that was one of my things in my little preview for this series, too, is that back was like, if without Steven Adams, without Brandon Clark, Jaron Jackson fells are always important, but they're extra important in this series. And you nailed it. So we're Dylan Brooks and Dylan Brooks Dylan Brooks did get in foul trouble in game two and they survived it. They just finagled away like more canards. Who's poking the bear better? You brought up this stuff earlier I'll ask you for your listeners. You mentioned bones highlands sort of picking on the old school Hall of Famer Chris Paul. And now we got Dylan Brooks picking on LeBron James is one of those superior in your mind who's trolling better from that. Dylan Brooks and it's not close. Dylan Brooks has just has figured it all out. We led our television show on ESPN yesterday with Dylan Brooks. And Bloomberg is a nice player, but like this happens regularly when the first 15 minutes of any national NBA show, it's Dylan Brooks where in sunglasses indoors were in a shirt that's unbuttoned Richard Jefferson style down right to the middle. Just saying stuff, like he's old. Gayle LeBron's old man, like we know, he's not the same as he was in Cleveland and Miami. You got to say that out loud? God bless you Dylan Brooks. So he's figured it out and you know what? He backs it up. Like he is not afraid of anybody. He will body you up from baseline to baseline. He will get all up in your Jersey. He'll rough your ass up, and if you score on him, he doesn't care. He's coming back to do it again next time he'll talk right in your face after you score on him. And on AD, one of the reasons I liked that liked, but one of the things I had, I thought the grizzlies had going for them
