you also were saying I saw you said on Pat show uh that the um the I guess offseason for the lack of better phrase um is going to be off the hook with the NBA Do you still feel that way right now that you there’s going to be a remarkable amount of activity including some bold-faced names on the move shams you feel that way still right now for sure For sure I do Yeah I mean obviously we have the Kevin Durant market Uh you have the NBA draft coming up You have free agency coming up There’s always going to be wild cards There’s always going to be some surprises Is Cooper Flag going to be on the move or you just think the Mavericks are are going to just take him and rip the knob off Shams uh the Mavericks are going to be taking Cooper Flag for sure Okay So okay So he won’t wind up on the Lakers with only them making a deal for him Shams that that’s not happening It’s going to be No I I I I don’t expect that He’s actually going to go visit them this upcoming week after Father’s Day uh will spend time with Nico Harrison Jason Kidd that organization So uh he’ll be there for uh a couple of days and uh I I think they have fully fully honed in on Cooper Flag as the number one overall pick in the NBA draft But you think would the second overall pick be in play would that be in play do you think right now with the Spurs the Sixers are obviously sitting there at three What intrigue do you think is is involved with the draft coming up and uh and free agents to be sean I I I think I think I think we’re going to see a ton of draft pick movement Uh you know if I if I had to uh you know pouch it for the for the Spurs I think they probably keep that number two pick versus not It always when you when you think about the top three it always takes a a massive offer to go go you know come up on on you know come off it um and for a team to move up So they’re going to get a ton of calls between now and June 25th on offers to move up from teams three four five six seven eight Uh we’ll see if there’s any traction on those conversations Uh but listen Dylan Harper is a guy you have to look at at number two Uh but the Spurs are going to get plenty of of calls on it but I think you know there’s there’s going to be a ton of movement I think this year not only in the lottery picks moving up picks moving down uh throughout the NBA draft Okay And Durant do you think is the first that could be moved what do you think Sean kevin Durant is is the best available domino right now He’s the guy that everyone’s got their eye on right now in the NBA And and from my understanding there is some traction and conversations some significant conversations ongoing with the Suns to move Durant sooner rather than later I think there’s some motivation with some teams to get a deal done Uh in the last 24 hours I’m told the focus with the Suns conversations have been on the Houston Rockets the Minnesota Timberl and the Miami Heat So those are three teams that had interest in him at the deadline that could see whether they get a deal done bring him into the mix uh allow allow themselves to potentially have a better chance of competing for a championship And you know the biggest key there is the fact that he’s got one year left on his deal about $54 million And so does a team need to have a guaranteed understanding that he’s going to have an extension agreement locked in is there a team that just takes a swing for him there’s also some wildcard teams There’s been about six eight teams calling to the Suns making offers reaching out So uh I I do think sooner rather than later uh there will be a move with Kevin Durant Catch the Rich Eisen Show live weekdays from 12 to 3:00 p.m
