have to get correct the Knicks don’t have a pick in the first round will they surprise us tonight who the hell knows maybe they’ll even do a trade we’ll figure it all out that’s why we are here tonight with me on the other side is my guy CK2K and Chris LeBron cp will be joining us all right and this is a Simo cast with the NBA Report so make sure that thumbs up button for your boys subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already done so both channels that is let’s get it rocking all right fellas how we feeling today we We excited for the draft we don’t got the draft pick but we are we excited it’s the annual um with especially with me and CK with the with the book night stuff so it’s always We got book night [ __ ] like no other you know 100% bro it’s it’s trade night that’s what it is man we looking for these trades see what happens we’re going to see a lot of shaking and moving like we see a lot of things happening that’s going to impact the league it’s it’s it’s a it’s a fun time absolutely a fun time as you guys already know who are tapping in cooper flag goes number one overall to the Dallas Mavericks no shocker there and the San Antonio Spurs just continue to get richer as Chris and CK were just discussing backstage getting Dylan Harper not Derek Harper one of the strongest hitting safeties in the league no they got Dylan Harper that’s who they got tonight so what what do you guys think about Dylan Harper man we We could go We already know about Cooper Flag right there there’s enough of that about that but how we all feel about Dylan Harper to the Spurs the rich get richer yeah right and for that reason I hate it i’m Exactly i’m going say I’m going to say for that reason I hate it because now I feel like this is a situation where maybe you’re not necessarily stunning his growth because you know that they will develop him but it’s like we you know who knows how much of him we’re going to see because of the situation he’s in we talked like you said we talked about it with the De’arren Fox thing rookie of the year in Castle right there and now I hate it for that reason but at least you know with San Antonio they going to develop them that’s their thing that’s their mo we we I might not get them this year we might might see him more you know down the line but for the right now I hate it as we see right now the Sixers choose VJ i don’t want to butcher his names chris how do you pronounce his last name vj Edgecom edgecom vj from uh he played at Long Island Lutheran like I I remember I did a uh um I was writing for like a high school like uh high school players uh site and I remember writing about him as a junior and he was not even I don’t even think he was ranked and and I was like “Yo you got to watch out for this.” That’s why this one I I I I I uh you know I know it’s the Sixers but like this one like I I I really like like this pick because you know I wrote about him before he was even ranked and to see him progress so much where now he’s the third pick in the draft it’s cool it’s cool seeing that you know that uh that growth from him cuz he’s his game is like I said he was unranked and then went from being unranked to the number a top five prospect you know coming out of high school and then going to Baylor doing his thing and now he’s a top three pick so you know I hate that he’s a sixer i hate that he’s a sixer but I love to see his growth because he was not highly ranked just a few years ago and now he’s the number three pick in the draft and like I said I writing about him you know when they were asking me like “Yo find find some under the radar prospects in New York City.” And I would write about a couple guys and he was the one guy like something about this kid and it’s it’s dope seeing him you know his growth these last few years so like I said it sucks that he’s a Sixer but it’s cool seeing him that he’s a third pick in the draft now what do you think CK no happy for him happy for him you know uh we we were fresh off of the um Shador Sanders watch you know looking at the Ace Bailey situation so I was curious which way they were going to go and yeah they went with VJ and I’m not mad at it um unlike the Spurs pick makes sense but like Chris said it sucks where he is going because you never want to see the Sixers do something right but um yeah like the kid good good kid player um you know he’s one of those um I can’t wait to use him on 2K kind of guys for me personally can’t wait to use him on 2K he said he’s the best athlete in the draft too like he’s a freak athlete like it’s going to be crazy yeah he’s he’s going he’s he’s a he’s a tremendous athlete he needs to work on his his his handle a little bit can’t go to the left right now but you know he still overall and he could he could he can lock up too so you know good two-way player for the Sixers that type of pairing with Max and when you think about his speed you think about uh Edgecom’s athleticism you know if you get Joel Embiid healthy for a full season who knows what Paul George you know you see on Twitter people are saying Paul George don’t worry man you’re gonna be a Brooklyn Net tonight don’t worry no speak that team interesting even though they were underwhelming this past year that’s an understatement hey man and with the way the East is looking I mean we just saw Tyresese Hallebertton you know hopefully he gets better recovers well i mean how many guys did we see just in the playoffs go down we saw Tyresese Hallebertton Damen Lillard you know you also see Jason Tatum so the East is open and so with the Sixers making this pick you’re not expecting a rookie to come in and make you know a crazy amount of impact but if he could just get some hustle play play solid defense which I’m sure that’s what the Sixers are looking for god knows if he starts or if he comes off the bench uh that’s just it’s going to be interesting for them man I’m curious to see how this all shakes out uh with them just because right now you got the New York Knicks you know I know this is a Simo cast but you got Chris wearing a Knicks hat i’m wearing my KFTV hat you got CK with the Knicks banner in the background and New York versus the world KF shirt make sure to go to ktvshop.com to go get some merch but hey man you know we’re still scouting out here seeing how the other teams are going to fair all right this what this draft at this point the draft is like all right who’s going to make some good moves who looks like a competent team who’s going to you know compete with the Knicks next year man because the East looks wide open it’s for the taken it’s for the taken especially because of those injuries you just mentioned because the timing of them they going to be without you know Hallebertton you like you like you said speedy recovery for sure but they’re going to be without him for some time tatum not sure what the little thing you know so yeah it it’s wide open in the East right now which is why I’mma reiterate I’m paying attention to these trades today i’m paying attention do you guys think there gonna be a lot more trades i mean we already saw you know KP going down to Atlanta we see George Nyang i know he was the headliner with with Mann going uh to uh to Boston see Drew going out to Portland you know you see Anthony Simon going to Boston seeing all these trades happen right now you got has any trade stuck out to you guys so far i hate that Simons is on the Celtics bro i hate it that’s That’s the one i mean obviously a lot of big moves um you know we could talk about the KD stuff that’s West but it’s you know Yeah yeah yeah but the s I I hate since we’re talking about hating VJ D getting drafted by um uh Philly I hate um Anthony Simons on the Boston Celtics so much so much but yeah that’s the one that stuck out to they needed scoring they needed they need another guy who can create good pickup they do they did need scoring i’m I’m actually kind of intrigued at how Atlanta looks if that team actually stays healthy that’s the intrigued i’m not there yet man i’m intrigued man yeah I’m intrigued i’m intrigued too i’m not there yet but like I’m I am I’m interested what they do today i’m not a believer i’m not saying I’m a believer i’m just intrigued man you know for sure you know you just you know sometimes you’re just cruising down the street you see a new restaurant pops open you know you never heard of it before but you know you’re you glance over and you’re like “It’s interesting i might go over there check it out you know from time to time who knows?” But you know just catches your eye a little bit that’s all I’m saying you know what team got me like that um after somebody was mentioning it to me Queens shout out to Jamaic Queens in the chat you know what team got me like that you know I was looking at I’m like “Huh I’m interested.” Uh is is Washington they they got veterans over there that’s a weird statement and it’s not like they just got like end of the the the an end of their career kind they got some good solid pieces i mean mind you they got to stay healthy because they do got some injuryprone veterans but they got veterans over there along with a a nice um hall of young guys that have been showing out last year of names that probably people the regular casual Hooper does does not know of like the Georgees the Bal’s the um what’s my boy’s name bub Carrington like they got some names over there where I’m I’m looking at Washington like hold on now y’all y’all kind of did something okay yo yo and guys coming off the books too yeah right right guys are coming off the books within this year and next year so like I think they they they might be finally figuring it out and watching figuring out how basketball work right right that’s why I’m they might be finally figuring it out and with the Hornets selecting fourth pickle going to Charlotte what do you guys think about this uh selection man I was hearing a lot of Conan Nipple was going to be like top five and so this I thought as high as three some people said as high as three so him going here he’s a he’s a better fit than like an Ace Bailey uh he he he’s a he’s behind him and like Kobe Bray like there’s an argument for them those two guys being the best shooters in the class uh he’s strong he you know he doesn’t he’s not going to pop you with that his athletic ability but you know he he he’s sneaky he he’ll sneak up on you and keep yamming on you you know he’s one of those sneaky you know athletic guys uh but he could he could shoot man and especially when Flag got hurt he took over like he really showed his his uh his taking guys off the dribble and obviously his shot making ability and underrated defensive player you know not not going to be anything special but like can hold his own so I think this I I kind of this is a good fit um uh for Charlotte he What do you think CK this is the least Hornets thing that I thought they would do because Acely just screams that Charlotte Hornets young boy swag kind of thing that they’re doing where they don’t care if it’s if it equals winning but it’s just they new ownership ck my point and that’s my point they’re showing that they actually mean business nothing against Ace Bailey i’m not saying that but like like Chris was just saying I don’t know if Ace Bailey is what they necessarily needed um for their squad so you know it’s it’s a it’s a solid pickup i like what they’re doing there again they got a lot of things you know this is probably one of a thousand that they got to do to get that ship right but um yeah yeah like I said this is just the least hornet thing that I was expecting and I mean that in a compliment almost you know what I mean yeah they eventually you got to take things serious as a franchise like it’s just at some point right it’s just it’s just they don’t take things serious like and everyone says it like anyone you talk to is like yo they just don’t take it serious like LaMelo is not a serious player you know Oie Bridge is not a serious like you have a bunch of unserious players so it’s time to like you know stop being the butt of all jokes and like let’s let’s actually get players who can actually have high IQ know how to play basketball and let’s let’s go like let’s stop being a joke so you know this is hopefully this is the start for them i hope so i’m rooting for I like Charles Lee i’m a fan of him as a coach it’s just he’s a good coach that he got a crazy uh deck handed to him when he got that job so you know I hope that that doesn’t define the kind of coach that he is going forward so we’ll see man we’ll see but uh good pickup pick up and you got LaMelo Ball you got Brandon Miller i mean you got Josh Green out there Miles Bridges Mark Williams what do you see what do you see Caniple fitting in is he a starter is he coming off the bench what do you guys think happens to him bench bench cuz they got He’s probably coming off the bench for right now they’re solid at the wing right now i know they’re young and stuff but yeah no he he coming off the bench at least for right now okay okay add some shooting next to Brandon Miller you know needing more scoring out there in Charlotte but as you said as you guys were talking about Ace Bailey didn’t I mean that sounded so like Sean it’s like hey a guy that did not want to show up to workouts you know turning down turning down things man i mean like that just sounded hornets back michael Jordan would have been like you know what that guy’s got attitude that’s what I need yep yep yep yep but hey not anymore man not anymore let’s get back to some of these uh trade talks man because you know you talked about the Wizards getting some veterans on that side uh and look I like the way that they’re trying to maneuver i mean how does that impact the pick for the Knicks is like if they’re an actual serious team you know with with they have a top eight protection does that actually convey if they’re you know a playing team and actually do something right that’s something that intrigues me with that team but then on the opposite side you got the Pelicans and the Pelicans said “You know what who we want to pair with uh DeJonte Murray and Zion Williams?” Jordan Pool bro I don’t know why but just if you guys play pickle ball you know who I This is what I think when I think of those three like these dudes like very young generation pull up with like the short short very bright and vibrant shorts and it’s just about vibes man they not really don’t really care they’ll get a little angry that they’re not winning but it just feels like they’re more so about vibes while they’re out there that’s That’s kind of how that team feels to me right now what do you guys think about the the Pelicans side of that trade i don’t I I the Pelicans what we just said about the Hornets is what the Pelicans feel like to me man i I I don’t know the vision i don’t know it’s just it it’s so crazy with um Griffin as their GM like I I I don’t know what they’re doing i I They fired him that’s right so it You know what i I take it all back it all makes sense go ahead you’re right my fault joe Dors is I forgot bro i don’t know man like I Who thinks Dors is interesting he’s He’s He’s always been an interesting kind of like Anyways Anyways yeah uh George and De Jonte Murray next to each other like the words that Chris just said interesting it’s an interesting front court i think uh I think it it’s all trying to put your chips into uh trying to for 26 for next year’s I I don’t think Zion’s going to be there i think they’re just trying to wait for the right opportunity to move him but uh I think they’re trying to just you know it’s a new GM like I said um obviously the Zion stuff just hasn’t worked he just hasn’t been on the court enough and it’s just like when he has they’re like you know they’re like a top four seed but it’s just he’s not playing enough and like at this point it’s like all right this is five years of this and like how much more we going to do another year like all right and then we go through the same stuff like I think it’s you know we’re just going to try to shoot for the you know uh the hit hit the lottery next year because just like this year next year has a a chance to get a true couple blue chip guys you know so I think that’s what they’re going to be doing you know so uh yeah I think Zion’s gonna get moved I think just putting themselves in position to you know get the best chance to get a high pick next year it feels like this team could either go in two directions one it could either be a lot of fun interesting to watch with that roster or it can go completely wrong and you know they’re the new Washington Wizards and they probably win like 17 games because guys are either missing time not playing seriously enough who the hell knows and now we got the pick in coming for the Utah Jazz let’s see uh who they are about to select ace who do we Who do we think i’m going to go I’m going to go with uh Trey Johnson oh Ace Bailey wow goes to the Utah Jazz did Did Allan Silver just hit him with a nickname in the call he said aerial Ace Bailey that’s his real name oh is it really yeah it’s his real name ace is is his his nickname is his nickname his real name is Okay it just shows you like everything we heard it’s all just smoke screen it’s just all to just try to get your guy you know like we heard all this stuff and you would have thought he would have dropped to the 20s the way he was getting talked about and he still goes top five yeah you know been like what who who who like you think like a Cam Whitmore situation where a guy who could play well but then like you just hear all the bad stuff coming out you’re like want that but I I could understand Cam Whitmore more dropping than Ace like Ace talentwise like like I think Cam I had Cam Whitmer top five so I was high on him but I can see why people were kind of low on him where Ace is like I know he the efficiency stuff is like some people worried about it but like it’s also the scheme like he didn’t play in a really good scheme at Ruters like and everything needs context too like he’s playing with he’s playing with Harper but the other guys are like they’re going to end up being accountants and stuff so you know there’s a there’s a you know there’s that that’s why with college stats you can’t just read into college stats because they lie a lot you know it all dependent on you know the system you play in the players you’re playing with you know so like he’s a top he’s a top he might be the best talent in this draft like he has a crazy upside you know so it’s just a matter of just refining his game and and just getting him more you know under under control uh so you know and they needed to they just like the Nets which is I’m surprised the Nets didn’t try to move up they needed a high upside guy because they have a bunch of good guys like good young players but they didn’t have that one guy who like “Yeah if he hits special.” Like they have a bunch of guys if they hit they’ll be good players but they needed a guy like him so I understand that ck do you think Utah is the right place for Ace Bailey in And you know in theory Utah’s such a boring organization but it’s that same thing like I was talking about with like San Antonio like they’ve they’ve done a good job with the younger talent that they’ve had outside of we still I don’t feel like we saw Cody Williams at all last year but that’s neither here nor he got hurt that that that’s okay just wanted to make sure but yeah I I mean fitwise I mean he it’s wide open for him at his position at I mean you could probably slide him in and start him right away um you know they got um what’s my boy’s name that’s uh coaching that uh Dwayne Wade loves so much um oh my god I forgot his name that’s coaching Utah right now oh um uh ah it’s good not Will i was thinking of a different coach um no um yeah i either way young young coach that they you know they got from the Hardy you talking about Thank you thank you thank you thank you so you know he he’s he’s doing a solid job with the younger players so again development wise you know Utah’s in no rush to get anywhere um like I said he’ll slide right in um I I I’m not upset with that pickup at all you know like I said Utah’s just a boring team sometimes for me does does Utah trade some guys though that’s the question because that’s the because right now you got you got Kier you got Sexton Markin Collins Kesler you got Keonte George Clarkson you got Hrix you know there’s there’s a lot of guys out in Utah and they’ve been you know they’re competitive it’s interesting like if you watch them they’ve been they were a competitive team but they were just not you know they just weren’t winning games they were in games but they just weren’t winning so yeah where do they fit with Ace in this in this like what’s the outlook with Ace going for this team that’s going to be the bigger question because they could either do a wholesale and say “Hey get rid of Ston Marketing Collins you know you can still keep Kessle because still need a defensive center.” Or maybe you sell high on him but do you strip it all down say Will Hardy we’re giving you another team to work from or that’s the that’s the bigger question what direction does Utah go yeah I think Colins’s got to go and I think I think they gota you know while while the stock is still high on him they got to move market in in my opinion like you said Kesler I know that there’s always those rumors around him but I feel like he’s fine where he’s at i think I think you continue to you know develop with him there um again unless that offer you get that phone call for the right offer then you know do what you got to do but if I’m if for who needs to go and I feel like that they need to take the opportunity while John Collins is still a commodity among some teams you you flip him and I think marketing same thing i think while they’re still you know talkable or guys that you you can flip and possibly get some more draft picks or get another piece um those are two names I’m looking at uh Colin Ston to honorable mention but it mainly for me it’s Collins and and marketing that you got to look to move what do you think Chris you think who are you moving any of those guys are you doing what CK’s doing you moving out you wholesaling starting fresh yeah I could see them uh cuz uh Collins just he opted in i think he was making like 25 26 so he just opted in sexton is always I feel like he would be so much more appreciated on a playoff contender like he I I just think he’s a big- time player like I remember at Alabama he was three on five like go you know at one game where everyone got ejected and it’s him and he almost won the game two other guys going against five like I always go back to that like he’s just a dog and like I feel like he could help a team so I think they could you know flip him and and Lori I don’t know what they’re doing with Lori i didn’t think they gave him an extension they gave him an extension i I don’t know danny Ang is just is a very strange individual individual you know you don’t know how to read him you know um so I I don’t know you know the Kesler it feels like Kesler has been on the block since they drafted him you know you know so I don’t know um I would keep Kesler i think Kesler is a you know a big- time rebounder obviously a tremendous you know rim protector i don’t know why you would try to trade unless you get like CK said unless you get like a insane offer like five first round picks you know so hey that could still be an option man we got C shout out to the captain himself cp’s in the chat cp will be joining us uh in a bit all right but CP is saying “Hey Ace ain’t too happy when you’re looking at the camera at him he doesn’t look thrilled.” It didn’t look that way he said he didn’t want to go there but you know hey you don’t have any you don’t have any control to CP’s point Nets might trade for him is what he’s saying hey they could you know the Nets could still make a deal they got so many draft picks at this point like that’s why I’m I mean it could still happen obviously but I I was surprised that they weren’t uh aggressive trying to move up but like I said it also Utah and Danny A so they might have wanted all the picks all the first round picks this is what I’m saying hey maybe they offered you know behind these closed doors like hey we’ll give you we’ll trade you we’ll swap you eight for five and we’ll give you another pick and maybe it’s hey sweating these guys out saying you know what in the end I want all five of your picks if you want ace that badly exactly yeah yeah for sure a very Danny H thing so that wouldn’t shock me but the thing is I mean I’m not trying to tell Danny what to do but if you’re trying to go for all five man I mean unlike that’s going to happen maybe you got to settle on three four right you gota you got to compromise man got to compromise who knows does Ace even you know as a rookie he try pulling a Eli Manning you know say “Hey man you drafted me i don’t I mean he can’t go back to school but it’s like hey man I’m not going to play i’m not going to show up.” Imagine oh god who knows man who knows what could happen salute to Knicks Nation salute to the NBA nation as well we are simoc casting through KFTV and the NBA Report make sure to hit that thumbs up button for your boys subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already done so with me on the other side it’s my guy Chris LeBron and CK2K we are covering the NBA draft and talking trade talks if you would like to call in and get your takes off you can always hit up on the Discord tm Chief Modern Operation i I see you in the chat man salute to you salute to you for always doing such a great job if you could just please drop the link for the people so that way they know where to go to if they want to go to the Discord and get and call in that’d be much appreciated my man hey we’re covering the draft tonight only doing round one and and just like Josh I’m not I don’t I don’t need to ask when it happened but why are we doing this why why are we doing one night first round another night second round man like money money but who’s tuning in to night two who people like me yeah but we are hating I’m a sickle like that but with the second round with Chris LeBron I think I think you know once they did it last year because they let’s be They did it last year because of Bronny right and now it’s going to give you a rating so they were just like “All right let’s just keep trying it and and until it if if the ratings are down it’s not worthy then we’ll stop it.” But why stop it if it’s going to keep generating more money they still bring players in like they do another version of you know like Adam Silver they have like I think the deput guy and so they do like a you know with the players so they the players have that moment too in the second round you know so I guess but you know I wish it was just one one day but you know we know you know they want money so makes sense devil’s advocate you could say that you know you might get potentially more of the trade buzz in day two you know like you you could make that argument because of the infamous you know so the draft becomes background noise is what you’re telling me now yeah 100% so they can still have a arena to show it live when this or that happens but yeah 100% like Chris said it’s all financial bro yeah i don’t know like last year they did it like at But the thing is with the timing they did it like at 400 PM last year like that’s like who’s home from work 4 p.m on like a Thursday it’s like wait I just like why are you doing it that time like like do it at night at least so at least people are home and they can you know while they’re cooking or Yeah yeah yeah you know you got a background music right you just like oh you know you know like so maybe that and but they need to do a better job of if they the two days you want to do two days do a better job of letting people know uh have more information about the guys who could potentially be in the second round cuz most people don’t know who this is going to be they don’t know who you know Elijah Martin is or Zoko Zakarsski or any of the these guys so they needed to do a better job of promoting those guys so you so you can have more people tuned in to the second round if you’re going to h obviously if you’re going to have it so I wish they did a better job but the NBA does you know they do their own thing man you know they do their own thing and then and look they I asked the question who are they doing the second day for us and uh shout out to Rune uh shout out to uh respect Shaq shout out to Will Rosie said us because we are in the second round so we are we will have uh we don’t have to wait until you know uh the middle of the night to see who the Knicks select with the 50th pick and who knows maybe they move up into the second round and uh select somebody who knows what trade day action could happen tomorrow that’s why we’re tuning in and look another draft just happened we got Trey Johnson being selected by the Washington Wizards cam I’m going to start off with you this time what do you think about that selection for the Wizards i hope Chris has a way better breakdown because for me after everything I was saying about Washington I I’m a little curious about this one because a bunch of the names I mentioned about Washington with the younger side play in that same position so I’m a little curious here why i know I know they traded away pool but I thought they traded pool away to highlight those Bub Carringtons and you know Bal and but again uh you know you you can’t have enough um as we talked about with San Antonio um Trey Johnson a hell of a talent so I get that but yeah I’m gonna need Chris to break this one down for me because I I I my my thoughts with with with P gone was you’re opening it up for those other young guards but now you just added another one to the room so uh curious there so what you got Chris just imagine Jordan P but more efficient efficient way more efficient that’s what you get with Trey Johnson that sounds like a really good player yeah so that’s like we’re if we’re going to do comparisons to make it easier like imagine Jordan Pull but he’s Jordan P’s last year with the Warriors when they won the championship like he was a more efficient player can actually play into the system you know you you could trust him with the ball in his hand he’s going to make the right decision right shot Trey Johnson’s an absolute bucket all three levels like I he was fourth on my board like uh fourth for fifth on my board u but he was top five for me like he he’s that I think he’s that good I think there’s potential for a playmaking upside i think he’s a he’s an absolute bucket he’s efficient i think he shot like 39% from three at Texas you know big shot played big in the SEC i mean first year I think this is Texas first year in the SEC and the SEC is maybe SEC in basketball is maybe the best conference ever in basketball for a single season like it was a gauntlet too and he shot the ball like the lights out of the ball and was a big time shot maker so yeah um and a more if if Jordan P was more efficient that’s what you can potentially get with uh with this uh with Trey Johnson so I I think you know um I heard a lot with Wizards and him and it makes sense cool all right well let’s see how it all plays out for We’ll see how it plays out for the Wizards man i mean they got a lot of young players the thing with them is that they just don’t know who’s going to stick right so you just got to as CK talked about like you just got to keep bringing in young talent got to create that competition see who pulls through and then hey then you can start deciding who you want to build around with that aspect i mean they got and you have Middleton there just put him in a room with Middleton cj McCullum hey CJ M’s a good C.J mccullum just soak it and like if he like if he could learn like stuff about you know how to get to his spots like Middleton can do like to me that this is a the Wizards are doing something they’re doing something like I know they wanted the top pick obviously and they didn’t get a top three pick but to get Trey Johnson with the sixth pick like that’s that’s good and then you have good vets around them like the Wizards are finally potentially figuring All right man let’s not go too far all right they got they got I said fine maybe maybe figuring things out maybe maybe they It’s a lot better situation they were just a few years ago they still got to they still got to go out there and go execute all right man they still got to go out there and go execute but you know what uh talk about execution talk about the Houston Rockets man the Rockets go out there get Kevin Durant and on paper this team looks legit especially with Kevin Durant you get that legitimate score that you need you trade Dylan Brooks you get rid of Jaylen Green you bring in soon to be Hall of Famer when he whenever he decides to hang up the laces right i actually like the Rockets move man i actually like them getting getting Kevin Durant the versat the outside of Fred Van Vleet being the starting point guard two to five there’s a lot of switchability on defense I actually like what they did but you know what on p it’s only on paper they got to go out there and go execute I know they were number two in the Western Conference last year took the Warriors to seven can they build off of that with Kevin Durant what do you guys think about uh Kevin Durant going to the Rockets I think it’s a good move I think you replace a uh inefficient shooter in Jaylen Green with maybe one of the most efficient shooters you know of all time especially at all three levels so they didn’t give up anyone else they didn’t give up Tari E they didn’t have to give up men Thompson you know Cam Whitmore they didn’t have to give up the number three pick last year Reed Shepard and you know they gave up a pick and that was it essentially and and you know um I think that’s a that that’s that’s a great hall that’s a great hall to get for KD and you know uh you know so that’s a that’s a good move and they just bring back Fred Van Vleet like I said they got some they got something going there great coach too and he made So I I like the move it’s worth it’s worth a shot absolutely worth a shot ck what do you think about the move yeah we uh the whole conversation about Houston last year even through their great year they were number one at one point uh everyone was saying they’re nice but they’re they’re inexperienced like they’re too young this that youth uh well that’s gone and not only that to Chris’s point like you said you just got one of the most efficient players even at that age um it just everything about it lined up you kept um the the fact that they kept Jabari is still crazy to me jabari Smith too like crazy they kept Yeah yeah yeah like it you know shout out to Jaylen Green you know there’s still I feel like there’s still a lot in the tank for him for his career i know people already counting him out but to Chris’s point like he’s he is ineffic efficient right now and um you know if you’re gonna make that leap and you get a Kevin Durant while still having guys that are are developing into stars like Amen Thompson um huge huge huge pickup um definitely great fit u yeah Houston definitely did the the thing that you wanted to do especially to try and take away some attention from the team in the West that won the NBA championship letting them know like yo we we’ll see y’all next year you know what I mean so I like the pickup i think Kevin Durant makes sense i know the the big thing is you know he’s too old nah for what he does I feel like his f is going to be great i think he’s going to be a good pickup for them i agree guys and and I’m very curious to see what the Rockets do with the 10th pick uh in this draft right uh that’s crazy too like they got the 10th pick they get Kevin Durant i mean you just add another young guy to that roster uno they gave that no they got the 10th no the Suns have the pick oh that’s right they got That’s Phoenix yeah yeah that’s Phoenix that’s right sorry sorry sorry no it it’s not your fault because you know the NBA the only sport that that does not change that on draft i don’t understand that officially then go to it’s craziness man just get remove that NBA what are we doing here man it’s like Kobe in a Hornets hat like oh he was a Hornet for like a few hours yeah you see Luca Luca in the the Hawks hat you know yes nonsense man just just fix Adam Silver what are we doing man what are we doing small markets get to the NBA finals that’s what he’s doing that’s what he’s focus Well he did a good job about doing that this year all right well let’s get let’s Dollar Tree hats like you know oh my god that was I look forward to the draft day hats every year but you know what i’m not I’m not hurt by it because you know we we don’t have a first round pick so whatever i don’t care about the draft draft hats this year fine yeah i mean I’ll I’ll say I’ll save it for later on how I feel about the the hats all right we got to talk about this draft right now seventh pick for the New Orleans New Orleans Pelicans Jeremiah Fears Guard all right coming out of Oklahoma chris how you feeling about this guy he scares me man why does he scare you he scares me cuz scares you in a good way or scares you in a bad way bad way the efficiency worries me now I know he he played in the SEC and like I said he played against tremendous competition night in night out but I feel like a guy who needs the ball in his hand a lot and is not efficient and is a dribble dribble dribble guy and not really great offball that kind of worries me that kind of that kind of worries me now he’s in a good spot with the Pelicans because you know he he’ll be able to to play and they need a point guard but uh I I worry I worry a little bit about uh if he can ever reach his his uh his maximum you know ability because I the efficiency stuff I don’t know i’m not crazy about it and he’s small so if you’re not if you’re not efficient anger small that’s a to me I don’t know it’s a bad combo it’s a bad combo like he could um who’s the guy that the Pelicans had um I forgot the guy’s name he’s guard oh man okay not Hawkins because that’s that’s No no not Jordan Hawkins um I had him a few years back kyra Lewis was that was a disastrous pick too i forgot the guy’s name um he was a San Antonio kind of reminds me of that type of play i’m trying to think of the name it’s going to it’s going to pop up maybe someone in the chat can can say he was a inefficient point guard but he was very similar to what fears and then you know uh I I don’t I don’t know i’m not crazy about fears i had him like in like the 17ish range um but uh yeah not not crazy about about his game okay what do you think CK i I just Yeah I I I don’t understand the pick the fit again um but you know we are talking about New Orleans so it is what it is uh like I said I I I get he was hurt back and forth this past season in uh Hawkins but that’s why I’m thinking of him like what are we doing with that pick i don’t know i don’t know but it’s it’s Pelicans you know again stashing the young young guards uh I I I don’t know i I I don’t get the fit and Chris just made me feel Devonte Graham there you go devonte Graham oh Dvonte Graham oh Devonte Graham oh yuck yeah yeah yeah yeah very good point yeah i Every time I watch Furious Play I get that Devonte Graham vibe yeah devonte Graham had one and a half good years i was about to say it was like there was like a It was like And it was brief in Charlotte yeah very brief very brief and that was mainly because he was getting shots um but yeah not a fan of the fit but hey New Orleans go New Orleans hey they got the Knicks fans in the building bro for the draft but they got they got Deontay Murray out there you got Jordan P so you know he’s not going to play you just hope that maybe he can develop you got But you might want to play if you if you’re thinking about tanking and trying to get you know top pick you might want to play him he might help you see this is what this is the one thing I do not like if a player’s not ready to play and you just throw him out there just to tank like you just ruin the confidence you don’t help the development process at all i don’t like anything about that man i don’t like anything about He does have confidence he is confident so he Hey you can have Hey you can have confidence and it can be That’s the problem too in a sense he has the So he he doesn’t mind shooting 37% from the field as long as he’s going to get his 15 shots you know wow so the ultimate green light the Oh man that sounds rough wonder what Brooklyn does here what do we think Brooklyn does guys they’re up next huh oh they just made the selection what am I talking about eigor how do you pronounce his last name eigor Deon deon all right he’s uh Oh from BYU guard all right Chris huh i’ve heard I’ve heard Eagle and the Nets like that’s like a that was a definitely definitely gonna happen and so he’s like um he reminds me a lot of like Josh Giddy in a sense like a tall wiry point guard still has to work on his strength and his shot his shot at times there was sometimes you watch him and you’re like whoa he then there was some times you’re like he can’t he can’t get past anyone so he’s going to have to figure that out but he’s he’s one of the best playmakers in the draft though when he’s when he’s right he can you know he can get guys in their spots you know so and the Nets need a you know a point guard like this so I I I I get the pick uh but he has to work on his uh you know get get stronger to so he can get to his spots easier and work on his shot but so yeah but I heard that the Nets and Eigor was definitely um a match that they wanted so uh what do you think CK i mean your face is saying it all kind of like I don’t I have no idea why and I’m just you know so I’m I’m I’m a typically a fan of the big playmaking point guard right Eeyore’s not one of them for me though like I when you w just watching him dribble has always been something for me um and they’re showing it in the highlights too just the I don’t know uh but but like Chris said like you know getting a ball mover is probably the best case scenario for them because that’s what they would need at that point guard position so I I get But um I’m still I’m still stuck on the Ace Bailey rumor maybe maybe I could see that flip and he’s a part of any kind of deal that goes over to Utah and then maybe a better fit over there but I don’t know i don’t know i’m not I’m not I’m not crazy about the pick but again I don’t think the flip’s going to happen now because I don’t get uh I wouldn’t get Eagor in Utah to be honest i don’t I don’t like that fit um there um so I I don’t know if that’s going to be the case anymore that’s their guy i think the net but but I’ve heard the Nets really liked Igor like that was one thing that like they were going to target they were going to get a combination of like him and like Malawatch that’s why if I’m with the way Malawatch is dropping a little bit like if I’m them I try to move up and try to get Malawatch there are 14 right is that the next pick their next pick is uh 19 19 so I mean you would have to worry about like the Hawks in the Spurs with model watch because the Blazers have enough bigs the Rockets don’t need big Toronto but I think Toronto is more like a send you type of uh spot so you know OKC could be you don’t want OKC getting in Malawatch that’s just you don’t want that happening cuz that’s the rich get rich like we talk about the Spurs getting like you don’t Malo watch going to Oklahoma City it’s like all right that’s what they need and you give them maybe one of the best bigs in the draft like you know so if I’m the Nets I try to I’m calling someone try to move up you got the picks okay got the picks right you gota you know this is like I said before this is a big this is a big uh uh draft for that front office you know they they might not they probably won’t be here next year if things don’t go right so they got to figure things out and look the Nets got D’Angelo Russell but you know he’s I think his contract’s expiring they got Cam Thomas Zire Williams Cam Johnson Nick Claxton you know you nasty dlo off the ball you know I’m sure they’re going for that yeah so that’s that’s exactly what they’re I mean they’re looking at they’re probably saying “We don’t really have a point guard that can get.” And I think if you’re looking at the Nets you’re saying “Hey we want Cam Thomas to get you know to have somebody that can facilitate to him.” Maybe that’s what their thought process is who knows that’s what I’m thinking right they should try to play that the two guard lineup have play more off you don’t want him being your primary ball handler like that’s not going to get you that’s not getting you in into the play in at least like so like maybe I thinking they’re thinking is play more off ball and let have the ball in his hand more now they just need got to find another real a wing or a rim running big that uh you know because I think Claxton’s going to be on the move too that I think they could flip him so they should they should flip him they should have flipped them last all uh trade deadline but yep I agree now we got the Raptors on the clock raptors in a lot of trade talks apparently they didn’t want to include YaKob Hurdle for Kevin Durant uh that’s an interesting team you see that there’s talks of uh or you see swirling around on X and throughout socials that RJ and Quickley could be on the move right who knows what they’re trying to do out there they got Brandon Ingram on that team who do the who do the Raptors choose uh at nine and what is their what is their future i have no idea like I you know I was like this past season I was actually intrigued on what you know I still want to see like our guys who are on the Knicks and help bring us to success like I want to see those guys succeed i want to see how they could perform outside of Madison Square Garden so I was I was hoping to see Quick and even RJ you know take another step r.j had a decent season when he was on the court i mean he his scoring was there the team is scoring but where do you go now with Brandon Ingram on the team another guy who needs the rock uh I don’t know man i I I just don’t I just don’t know where you want to go as the Raptors yeah i think I’m probably the only person in all of the NBA that’s just not a Scotty Barnes fan i’m I personally me personally um I I don’t know i don’t know the Brandon Ingram puzzle piece too you don’t even know he did he even play after he got trained i don’t think he played a single game a little bit very rarely he didn’t play much i don’t I don’t get And they gave him an in extension too yeah i I don’t I don’t know i I I don’t I don’t I don’t know what the Messiah lost his fastball that’s all I’m saying he lost his fast ball lost his fast ball yeah yeah i I would look at uh uh You know what’s funny this is where I thought Fears would have ended up um I because I think that if anything like you you you beef up the guard because their guarding their guard situation they were going down to what’s his name um bro we keep forgetting names on this damn show today what is his name rookie she aided shed shed how do you say his name oh Jamal shed jamal shed which he ended up showing out pretty solid when he played but I feel like they’re just like a carousel at the guard position and now like as you just mentioned Alex with the quickly trade rumors um yeah if if if there’s a a position to look for if it’s not big then I’m looking at the guard for them but yeah I could see Kasparus Joonis from Illinois like that could be okay type of like he’s a playmaking type of you know point guard that maybe fits best with you know the wings they have that he you know put them in the right spot you know I don’t think like a fears would have been ideal because he’s just going to score you know they don’t need that they need someone who’s going to put guys in the right spot you know and playmake so um but the reason why because of what we just talked about with the the the the ball dominant players that are already on the team so at least with fears you know he going to let it rip so it’s like that that ball ends up in his hands the time that Ingram does that’s just why I saw it making sense cuz you’re right but are they going to give that point guard the opportunity to even move the ball whoever it ends up being yeah yeah yeah no you’re right look uh for for the Raptors man I mean I’m just looking down this depth chart quick ingram RJ Scotty Hurdle you know shout out to my guy Will Lou who covers the Raptors out in Toronto he always uh he always talks about uh vision 69 they’re always trying to have like the switchability of these guys who are like 69 and whatnot and I know R.J is not that he’s 66 but you got Ingram and Barnes and I’m I’m like I don’t know what this team’s looking like man you got Abaji as well you also got Grady all right got Grady Dick on the team so who like what’s going to happen man why would they get a big I I don’t understand it’s not my team i don’t care i don’t care allan Murray Boils going I don’t get Toronto Raptors just keep beefing up the wing i guess that’s their thing that’s the That is exactly what And I was talking about vision 69 i’m just That is what Messiah’s on bro he’s like on this vision of just like I’m going to have the most versatile team possible and it’s like are you bro are you you guys don’t seem too thrilled about so so just defense like he’s a really good defender like you heard a lot of people like I said I’m not a big on the comps but Draymond which I think is I think we just sometimes people throw around stuff too much but he’s a really good defender but the I I I don’t think that’s what they needed here i I rather have come on M watch would have been to be better you know cuz you could flip Yaka Pearl’s been on the mark to trade like they traded him already then they brought him back like so it’s like I don’t know I would have went I think there was another options but I heard listen I saw people have Colin Marie Boils as high as two as high as the number two over Harper so like there’s a lot of he’s one of those guys where you it’s either you really like him or you’re like eh like me like I’m more in the eh where people are like “Oh he’s a top five type of player you know?” So I mean I don’t see it but yeah I like him i just I don’t I don’t get this fit is my issue like I Yeah I think you’re right they just should have gone with I think he would have been would have made a little bit more sense but I do I do like Colin Murray boys i I I just don’t get it here like where is that gonna fit like where is he in the rotate i I Yeah it’s just I just don’t understand the Raptors at all he’s like a Jere like a a Jeremy Sohan type of player right that in that type of realm right you know so he’s just like a I guess he’s a maybe Messiah just thinking we need someone that’s just going to be a good connector it’s going to be able to we put him in the spot he’s going to be able to get unlock everyone that type of That’s just my thinking other than that um I thought Malawatch or like a Kasparis joyonus like I thought that would be you know get a playmaking type of guard like him but he’s dropping and Malawatch is dropping yeah I I didn’t see Malawatch dropping this far hey this is uh this is the fun of the NBA draft just when you think about going back a couple years where they choose Patrick Williams who’s now on the trade block uh and selected at four right i mean that was four yeah it was four shout out to Shout out to our guy Cory who was on the show not too long ago and I just remember the the shocked face he’s like “And okay we have Patrick Williams he’s a Bull fan.” That happened yep yep cory was not a fan i remember having Cory on my show and talking about that like you know he he’s the ultimate like uh Patrick Williams was the ultimate like combine warrior like he won the combine like 6’8 7 foot and that’s the thing we like when you hear wingspan it like it jumps you up if you see your seven foot five wing like a guy regardless if they could play or not they’re always going to get bumped up so like we got to be careful and I learned this early in the process too don’t fall in love with wingspans that can get you in trouble they can get you in tr like if they could play and they have a good wingspan like okay that’s good but if like their game is still suspect and you know GMs fall in love with wings 6’8 7 foot wingspan like you’re a top 20 pick people fall in love with the with the combine way too much in any in any sport especially in any sport especially football i mean as a Jets fan I saw Zach Wilson get drafted number two to the New York Jets and I’m like outside of outside of you know the the combine what did he show you at BYU that made you say you know what this guy is an NFL ready quarterback but hey this is why the combine is just a combine for a reason man it’s it’s it does it’s it’s not it does not translate to who’s going to perform very well in any given sport that’s why you got to watch the tape man that’s why you got to watch the tape but then if you think about it it’s tough for coaches and everybody unless you got the scouts man the scouts should be doing their job but if you’re like the Knicks back way back when your scouting department was like nothing you know so but now they’re better but now they’re way better shout out to Wall Perin and the crew out there doing that man especially second round picks like they they find some like last year’s second round like I thought that was absolutely like I didn’t care about the the Dier pick like it wasn’t high on them but like all their second round picks you guys know I was in love with that like Kohic if they drafted Kohic in the first round and then you just swap Kohic and and Dier like I would have been like okay I’ll take the I’m cool with Dier but Kohlick at 25 I would have been absolutely thrilled with like I thought they killed the second round is going to when he’s when he’s gets healthy he’s going to he’s going to help us out you know so and and uh Horty too like they I think the second round was was absolutely fantastic hey man well we we’re going to need contribution from those guys this upcoming year you know Hakorti uh Tyler Dier they got a they got a show out next year man i mean once again I mean if we’re going to talk about the Knicks look the the Eastern Conference as of right now looks open the Knicks I think have the second best odds according to depending on what sports book you look at to to to make it to the finals so it’s like it’s it’s due to health right and if you just get Look I know we’re still on the head coaching search all right we got Nory just interviewed i think we are man i think we are ck I heard you’re getting interviewed next week too does CK even want that job that’s That’s the That’s I want to see I’m all about CK staff like who’s going to player develop before we talk about CK’s staff we got somebody joining us all right we’re going to have our guy from the New York Post Dexter Henry joining us in a second nice so let’s get ready for Dexter to join and give us his thoughts on what’s happening in the draft the trades all right we’re gonna have Dexter we’re waiting for producer CP before CP joins us cp doing the producing work working behind the scenes man cp a man of many talents many talents many talents but hey all right is what it is and here I think I see I think I see my guy Dexter Henry joining us is he here what’s up man what up what up what up Dexter how you doing man i’m doing good guys i’m doing good uh trying to pay attention to this draft uh pretty interesting i just saw the Hornets traded uh Mark Williams Mhm to the Suns for a I think it’s a 2029 first round pick i don’t know what the Suns are doing what y’all need y’all need picks i I don’t know what they’re doing but what Anyway how’s that How y’all doing how’s everybody doing we’re good man i mean we’re good we’re good we’re just you know trying to break down what we’re seeing uh on draft night i mean you’re just talking about the Suns trading pick so yeah it’s news to us right now you’re breaking that oh my bad and that and that’s why that’s why we got you on the show man see Texas is on the NBA report with CP breaking it down on the regular so make sure to go check out the NBA Report quick plug all right this is a Simo cast once again through KV and the NBA Report hit that thumbs up button for your boy subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already done so make sure to go subscribe to the NBA report as well cp Dexter doing the damn thing over there breaking down the NBA they did a phenomenal job breaking down the postseason all right and breaking down the finals over there so make sure to go check it out if you haven’t done so already dexter break down that trade man cuz the Suns traded what not only that they just added uh Mollik on the No I’m sorry go ahead Dex oh Mollik is in the Oh I just seen that they just picked him up yeah Phoenix just picked him up no CK thank you on that i just I just saw that what yeah they just drafted Malawak yeah yeah so so they get Mark Williams and Malawak so Mark Williams Malawak for the and the Hornets will get the 29th pick tonight and a 2029 first round pick yeah so Suns got both of them they also have Booker now Jaylen Green bradley redundancy yeah yeah yeah a lot of redundancy yeah chris a lot of redundancy right like I I don’t I you know I might need some time to make it make sense you going to try to make sense of that i wish I wish you can make sense of that Dexter i got I got some jobs for you man i I just think Okay I’ll say this and I’m I’m blanking on this new Suns GM’s name right now who’s it’s his first time doing this an experienced uh first time NBA GM i don’t think there was much he could have done in the KD trade i’ll say that but in for a team that needs picks going down the line in the future and it seems like they still believe they could win now and I don’t believe in that team can win now there’s just a lot of redundancy as you guys said um Brian Gregory is the GM of the Phoenix South by Charlotte I think this is great for Charlotte i I I think Charlotte is saying you know what Mark Williams is injured a lot um they want to big that desperately we’ll we’ll kick back and get get some other draft draft picks it opens up a little bit of cap space for us it’s crazy like I I I don’t even understand I almost even understand why the Suns had to give up a draft pick like if you think about it that way the more I’m thinking about it I’m like you just drafted a center so I’m giving you a top a lottery pick this year so why am I even adding additional picks on top of that like I I guess what I’m saying to to to sum it up sounds like they got fleeced that’s that’s all I’m saying just just it feels like it imagine this was all because a phone call wasn’t made so like the draft room they were all ready to to draft Malawatch but they didn’t get from the GM side that you know they were going to make the Mark Williams trade so they did both at the same time imagine that’s all that this was yeah i I’m I don’t I don’t understand the the mindset on what’s going on i I think Chris put it the redundancy like it it every position on this team right now it’s like the same you know and they still don’t have a point guard i I don’t I don’t know the Suns I mean it just doesn’t make sense but unless they’re just like you know we you know bigs are are back you know and we just want bunch of bigs you know we want we want to see what everyone else is doing because obviously we haven’t known what we you know we don’t know what we’re doing anymore so maybe we get bigs maybe that works there but I mean is there Mark I love Mark Listen I’m a Duke fan i love I thought Mark Williams who’s great at Duke but sure he hasn’t played a lot of basketball he hasn’t played a lot of basketball and his defense is a little overrated too like you know so I don’t know so you think the draft picks like an insurance policy because of that i think it’s an insurance yeah like with Jaylen Green too I think they’re going to flip him like that that makes sense right to flip him not keep him but I don’t know the Suns are just in a you know Matt Ishpia came in here thinking you know he knew what he was doing and he’s he set the franchise back a big you know a lot you know so I I I don’t know doing what James Dolan did man and when James Dolan took over the Knicks I’m just hey that’s it’s new owner syndrome it’s new owner syndrome like a lot of these new owners and I mentioned this before I was talking to somebody it’s like I’m worried about these new owners coming in and making all these moves and ruining franchises like it seems like they’re just making a lot of rational moves to just show like hey I’m here i’m the top dog and did we lose uh Chris i think we lost Chris oh we lost Chris there oh man he was about to go in he was about to spit right right right he was about to spit man he was about to spit some facts but hey look I think I think you guys said it’s more of an insurance policy saying they didn’t have any bigs now they want to have all the bigs although what’s interesting is the new ownership for the Charlotte Horns have not done something as drastic as Matt Ishbia with the Suns so they seem to be on the up and up with just how they’re trying to move and figure things out saying that they will they seem to be not saying they are they seem to be but with the way the Suns are I would even trade Deon Booker at this point like what are you even doing with him on the roster i agree with you it it doesn’t make any sense to hold on to him and just hope for things to work out i feel like they should be prioritizing move Booker i know everyone’s talking about flipping Jaylen Green but this t the team needs a massive reset and needs to figure out what they have going forward and keeping Deon Booker I feel like you’re just holding on to if you’re looking from like a like a business standpoint you’re holding on to an asset that’s going to be depreciating at some point instead of cashing in right now because if you said “Hey Devin Booker’s on the on the market you’d get some you get a return for him right now.” There are teams that could certainly use a shooting guard and you know can be another team like the New York Knicks we talk about a guard having a guard at the two position that can break down teams right and take relief off of Jaylen Brunson you get teams hitting up the full line like there’s no tomorrow trying to get Deon Booker on their team but does that new new ownership new front office are they the ones that are going to feel ballsy enough to make that kind of decision because at in the same breath what if they make the wrong move and then now that is the the start of that legacy they make the trade and then they end up getting fleeced in it so it’s like I almost feel like they would be scared to try and chip off the best thing that’s happened to Phoenix in the last what decade or so and getting a Deon Booker so I feel like it’s just like a double-edged sword with them i completely agree but I’m playing devil’s advocate here as like you know it’s a like like you guys were mentioning the new GM you know the ownership group all that kind of stuff like that that’s probably like some scary territory to then now all right we we got rid of KD and now we trying to move Booker so we’re stuck with what Jaylen Green and Bradley Beal and whatever we can get for him so I I feel like they’re just scared to pull that trigger if that’s what they’re going to do well they already made the mistake in my opinion when you went all in to get KD and Bradley Beal and think that was going to be your big three i mean from a roster I think from a roster construction standpoint they all just like gravitated they all gravitate in the same spot man no they don’t complement each other very well and I felt like that was just the biggest move so they already made the biggest mistake trying to go in on this big three getting Kevin Durant and just you’re trying to put lipstick on a pig at this point and say “Hey we’re all set.” But what they really need to do just get off of Deon Booker man there’s there’s never going to be a trade that feels you know oh it feels like it it was you know of great value or just like of equal value of sheet or equitable value whatever the term may be trying to figure out the words as I’m trying to break it down but you know what I mean like so at this point just move on from Devin Booker he’s like he’s not he’s not going to save this he by himself is not going to save this franchise the problem is he wants to stay there Alex right like he doesn’t want to leave that’s the problem he’s 10 toes down in Phoenix and he doesn’t want to leave and but I just think it’s best for everybody to break up that marriage right like it’s just like hey this this this is best for the franchise you’re right i agree with you 100% it’d be the quickest way for them to rebuild i I thought there’s two things look you’re not going to be able to trade Bill he nobody wants the contract he appear No trade clause in this time yeah right right yeah it’s no trades clause he’s You’re not trading him so I Booker is your fastest path to a proper rebuild um you trade a KD as step one you trade Booker you’re going to get a Hall um Booker was on the market tomorrow like you said there’s going to be a lot of teams lining up to to give multiple he’s getting at least three four first round picks you could get for him so yeah I this this ain’t it man it’s not it just seems like this ain’t it and uh uh if you’re a Suns fan you got to be It’s depressing man i mean you didn’t even make the postseason this year like with that talent you saw it was more guys being injured you didn’t make the postseason what’s the What What are you hyped about going into this season what’s the thrill what What is giving you What is show What is giving you hope with this roster saying it’s going to be even better than what it was last year you couldn’t even make it with Kevin Durant and Deon Booker on the team i don’t know how it’s moving forward but we just got another trade coming through the Portland Trailblazers are trading Cedric Coward the at number 11 to the Memphis Grizzlies and the Grizzlies are sending number 16 and a 2028 first round pick via Orlando in two seconds to Portland so that is the trade right there what do we got What do you guys think about uh Cedric uh Cedric Coward dex I’ll start with you yeah he’s a he’s a uh another big that I liked um in this i think this is very interesting for for the for the Grizzlies um is very interesting for them because they use that draft capital they got from Orlando and they’re fli they flipped it into a player I like one thing I’ll say with the Grizzlies man like they’re good at identifying guys that fit in what they want to do they’ve been very good at that over the last couple years and then developing guys so if there’s a team I trust with doing that it’s it’s them for Portland uh you you get you know um what do you get two seconds that’s Yeah you get two seconds and a first and a first you got first protected let’s see they got a 2020 first round pick via Orlando and two seconds it doesn’t say if it’s protected yeah and you drop down you drop down a couple spots five spots to pick at 16 so yeah if the Grizzlies when they usually move up for a guy they like they usually hit on this um so and I like I like this for them i’m wondering if they’re thinking about this is where people going to go they’re going to be like “Hey are they going to commit to Jiren Jackson Jr are they are they going to try to to move to play uh Coward next to Edy?” Cuz all all indications were they loved Edy last year even though he has some liabilities in terms of how he could play in the playoffs um it gives them more flexibility they they might want to move on from Jiren Jackson Jr um what else did they just add another good young big forward forward center you you could play in four or five I think um I like this I like this move for Memphis ck what do you think about the move i I like I like the trade in general um everybody wins in my in my opinion you know uh obviously like like Dex was just saying the Grizz got somebody they really wanted cuz for that Hall they must have really wanted him and Portland a team that’s doing such a good job at steadily improving in their development now they just got more assets you know I think it’s a good marriage so uh I again though but I’m I’m looking to what Dex said at the very end curiosity as far as that rotation at that u position we we got the rumor we heard it that you know they want to stick to Triple J and and John Mor but we’ll see we’ll see but um as far as the trade is concerned I like it for both sides i I’m a fan of Portland and what they’re doing so you know they got more assets so good for them and we got Chris LeBron back in the building my man was about to go in on new ownership and the internet said “Don’t you dare.” Matt just tapped in through the Matrix said “How dare you try to talk about me on a show not today.” But Chris how are you feeling about this pick how about how you feeling about Cedric so I I lost my internet my bad uh I just I just saw the trade cedric Coward um going to the Grizzlies love it love it just did a mock draft with a bunch of people and had a guy represent the the the Grizzlies here and he he picked Cedric Howard so I had Cedric Coward as a top 10 player he’s what I love about him he kept leveling up everywhere he went kept leveling up you know only played a few games this year but he played great and then when he got to the combine he exploded like he was supposed to go to Duke and he said “Nah Duke I’m good actually like I’m going to go top 10 maybe.” and he turned down Duke not a lot of people turn down Duke you know um but uh love his story like we talked about the wingspan but his game actually matches with the wingspan too so he could play and he got the seven foot wingspan so I I think this is a tremendous ball chris I have to say he’s How tall is he cuz he I know he can be you know watch him play a little bit he’s long but is he cuz he’s not is he playing like is he going to play projected play to four is he going to play the three he’s more over three he’s like six he’s more three so he’s a wing really more than a big okay so I I had him I thought he was a little taller i thought he’s like 68ish okay they they they listed him at like 6’8 and he was really like 6’5 oh okay i wasn’t I wasn’t tripping on that that is that is that is being generous well they did that with Ace Bailey they had listed Ace Bailey at 610 and he was really like 67 and some change so like never go by un wait till the combine for the official listings of heights cuz that’s what you really see cuz uh they’ll they’ll always add you know they always add on on the on the more of a wing okay yeah he’s a wing he’s more wing so I like it even better but I remember I remember like being impressed by his he wingspan i did see I did you could kind of see that so okay so he’ll play he’ll play more of the three okay that’s that to me that changes a little bit of what I said cuz that makes you think they will keep Jiren Jackson Jr and want to play him um and Memphis has kind of been looking for that wing guy um that could you know help create a little bit take some pressure off a jaw i Okay I like this i like this move for them and like I said it’s I still will stick to the point that Memphis is usually right on these things when they move up for these guys yeah you’re still right on that right exactly yeah they they’re usually they’re usually good in in in terms of hitting on these guys to move up for and if you think about you move Desmond Bane to Orlando so now you need somebody else i mean Desmond was that guy who took a little bit of pressure off of Jaw right and so if you’re thinking about hey need somebody like that you get Cedric in there and so not a bad move for for Memphis but we got another trade gentlemen we got another trade the Atlanta Hawks are trading the 13th pick in the draft to the New Orleans Pelicans for the 23rd pick an unprotected 2026 first round pick most favorable of New Orleans and Milwaukee so it’s a swap and uh wow there you go more trades are happening what are the Hawks planning to do so they’re trading 13 for the So Pelicans are going to jump up from 23 to 13 so they’re coming up next so who so who are the Pelicans thinking about that’s the bigger question that is interesting they’re taking Derek Queen so that’s who who I like um as a big for them um you know Derek Queen is a guy I really like 69 guy i don’t know how he plays next to Zion but also guys this could tell you maybe a little bit and Chris you know this as a Duke fan maybe how they feel about Zion because Zion has not been able to stay healthy i think when you look at the entire Pelicans projected starting five right now there’s a bunch of guys it’s like if they can stay healthy if Deontay Murray’s healthy if Trey Murphy is healthy if Herb Jones is healthy if Zion Williamson is healthy there’s a lot of ifs good lord it’s a lot of ifs man a lot of baby it’s a lot of ifs so look Derek Queen is um a guy I liked in this in this draft i think he could have gone also in the top 10 or kind of outside that you know he he where he did fall to 13 um it’s I I like this but I wonder if this means something’s happening with with Zion Williamson said is I’m always going to be skeptical or this is just insurance because he has not been available um time will tell it’s very interesting because the fit doesn’t like him and Queen together is wouldn’t be an ideal fit at all because like defensively you’re just it’s just going to be a turn style it’s going to be an absolute turn style like Queen is a bucket like he can score he can get to his spots like um but he’s not a perimeter guy too uh shooting wise like he doesn’t have that in his game yet like he shot it but he wasn’t it wasn’t there yet but defensively like you’re you’re really asking to just guys to just score relentlessly so that’s not a fit that’s why I mentioned before I think Zion is someone that you know I wouldn’t be surprised that we hear his name get in in trade rumors i think uh I think I think the Pelicans are in you know trying to uh think about life without Zion in my opinion they should i think they should and while we’re talking about the Pelicans the Bulls drafted Noah Esen uh there you go Chris you got your Frenchman that was drafted so don’t worry i remember doing this last two years and people got mad at me for so I didn’t mention any Frenchman in the in our draft preparation because uh you know we have uh we don’t have great experience with that but he’s he’s a he’s a really super freak athlete like uh okay u some people are going to question him because he left his team during like the playoffs their playoffs um for this moment but I I look at it this way like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear your name called So I I’m pretty sure his his teammates were cool with it because it’s the NBA you know um so um just like I said it’s a lifetime opportunity you know you’re not you’re only going to hear your name once so you know I I don’t know if people are going to but people are going to question his you know his tough but he he’s a super freak athlete he got his perimeter shots getting better uh so there’s a lot of things to like about him so he’s definitely intriguing for the Bulls what do you think what do you think Dexter or anything about uh I’ve I’ve watched a little of um I’ve watched a little of him on on on tape and he does have the athleticism the shot seems like he’s getting better he’s got the height so he’s an intriguing prospect um you know how how he develops how his body develops too uh is going to be very interesting to see but the way the NBA is going the way it looks like his ability will be to stretch the floor with his athleticism is what you want out of a big you know I just think he’s got to fill out a little bit more which he’s gonna have time to mhm it’s only He’s 18 was it 18 Chris he’s like 18 he’s a baby so he’s going to have time to do that but um no I like this i like this pick i mean look I say this with all these guys we You can like the pick we have no idea we don’t know how this is coming out we have no idea we have no idea you know it’s it’s all fit development um is he in the right does he have the right opportunities to succeed this this is for every player honestly um but yeah it’s it’s I like I like I like him as a prospect i do like him as a prospect i like the spot for him with Giddy i like the spot i think Giddy’s going to maximize him use him in transition get him spots so I like him paired with Giddy like this is a good spot for him what did the Bulls do man because you got some people being talked about what was I i think I saw something about I don’t know how if I saw it correctly lonzo potentially being on uh I saw that the trade market what do Lonzo’s interesting in market he’s on a good contract too lonzo Bull like that’s a really good You already know i’m not even gonna waste my breath i’m a fan of Lonzo man i like here you know do what we got to do you know what I mean yeah uh what’s it called but uh Matas was 18 uh Buzzales he’s 18 he was 18 last year 19 now he’s young too he was 19 last year 19 yeah they I’m just think because the Bulls Yeah bulls going young and they’re getting good val Ellis was supposed to be like a top five pick and they got him know later so they they’re getting they’re just getting hybrid wings and you got Giddy there you know he really took off once he got to Chicago where he’s finally you know the lead guy because him sharing with Shay you know he was always going to be an afterthought but you know being in Chicago like they really you know he really did some good things there so now you get some quality wings surrounded by him and you know they might be on to maybe maybe on to something they still got to fill some holes but you know I I like I like this pick we’ll see where the Bulls end up man hawks are on the clock see I mean not the Hawks the Pelicans pelicans i Pelicans just change it man change the logos as soon as it happens come on man and you have the capability change we were talking about that earlier Dex so like come on man like why it’s like why do I need to see uh you like the player in like a jersey or gear that they’re not going to be in it makes no sense we we I don’t know why we haven’t advanced to this and it’s even annoying if you’re at the draft in person because they don’t change it up on the screen or they don’t have it up there and you know Adam Silva’s introducing these guys and everybody knows everybody’s got the information already right that this isn’t happening so I I agree just change it you know the transactions are out we all know the picks we don’t need to lie to the people just let’s just lie to the people we don’t we don’t need to do that they did it they took You called the pick you called it Dex that’s exactly what they got the Hawks draft that I’m going to Phoenix yeah oh yeah okay phoenix sorry um New Orleans Pelicans yeah derek Queen since Derek Since Dex called it what what’s your thoughts on uh Queen man yeah I like Queen man i I’m I’m really I’m I really like Queen um I just have concerns about you know the fit with him next to Zion but I really like his game um I think he’s had a good good aggressive game i think he where I do think he can help him too though rebounding uh Pelicans were not a good rebounding team i do think he can help with them on the glass we know Zion even as an undersized big in terms of height um is a is a pretty good rebounder but I do think he’ll help him on the glass there i just still look at that pick and I say you know you’ve heard you know you hear things over the time about in New Orleans and Zion and his commitment and you know to his health and staying healthy and the weight and all that stuff you wonder if they’re at the end of the rope um or if he wants out too um so it wouldn’t shock me even if post tonight you hear his name as Chris said come up in in in trade room i Chris or CK said it but I think come up in trade trade rumors so yeah but I do like I like Queen as a prospect i do like him as a prospect um has some work defensively to do uh that I will say that much but he he’s he’s a bucket and he can score and if his game gets better on the perimeter um is it I think he’ll be good because he did some good work in the Big 10 you know when I watched him I I thought it was pretty good i don’t I’ll be honest I don’t get to watch a lot of college basketball but I do watch a good amount of ACC and Big 10 and uh yeah he he’s he can uh he he can score there’s no doubt about that you are a pit guy so I’m not surprised i’m not surprised i’m a pit guy so watch a lot of ACC that’s right i’m not surprised so CK what do you think about uh Queen uh not much I can add uh from what Dex and Chris because they they hit it the nail on the head i my question mark is just the the fit with Zion so we got to have to that conversation everything everything you said Alex about Booker and you know fast forwarding you know rebuild and boom you already got rid of uh CJ McCullum you know what I mean the team is Brandon Ingram’s gone you know it’s really just what what uh De Jonte Murray that’s a real like veteran starish kind of guy outside of Zion so everything you said about Devin Booker I’m going to then copy and paste with Zion Williamson are you not believing in the Jordan Pool leadership is that what you’re telling me uh everything you said about Devin Booker i’m going to copy and paste about Zion Wson yeah man i mean you know you got guys like um I’m a huge huge fan of of of of all and maybe not uh my boy Trey Murphy over there give him the Hey come to New York man right but but seriously though like you have guys out there that you know you could actually you know that are available that are playing like you know Jordan Hawkins when when he’s healthy too he’s I feel like it’s just time that they you know just go in that direction but if you’re looking at the roster right now Queen and Zion the defense is going to be hilarious but um you know outside of that he’s a bucket uh good pickup because he’s a good player just not sure how the fit works with um your star guy in Zion when he plays pelicans are just in that you know what stinks man like there was so much hype around Zion coming out of college and he’s just been a major letdown outside of one season outside of outside of one season where they were in the postseason i think it was against the Suns like you thought there was going to be something with that team and BI but look and you already traded BI too you traded BI too to New Orleans so like I’m in agreement you know you know you know what’s crazy about you know what’s crazy about that draft i was thinking about this like Zion J RJ Barrett rj might be the most consistent player out of all of them man say or the one you trust to be on the court yes if you think about it you know what I mean because job was you know playing with playing with guns and stuff so that you know we had that and then you know Zion just has been able to stay healthy so R.J.’s kind of been I’m not saying R.J.’s the best player out of all them in terms of talent but he’s been the most consistent he’s been available thank you for not bringing up Zion’s off the court issues on the show we do not need to talk about his offs this is a family show so we do not need to go down we’re not We’re not talking about who he’s involved with i’m going to leave that alone Alex i’m going leave that alone but hey isn’t that interesting where R.J outside of getting sick in November uh you know you can always count on you can always count on R.J to be available and to be hooping man that’s that’s one thing hey Broadway Bear when he was in New York man but out of those two guys to say that he’s have the has had the most consistent uh career so far fascinating absolutely was supposed to be the face of the league like he was supposed to be that next face of the league yeah man thanks LeBron and all that yo you had the president sitting front row at Duke games like this was like getting into Duke games was imp like it’s impossible as is but it was like like there was no way you getting in like it was a must-sea ticket and he was supposed to be that next guy and you know he was going to get a shoe deal all this stuff and then you know it’s a it’s a shame it really is a shame like cuz he when he plays there he’s a impact player he just he’s not playing enough so y said you need to be available and he’s not available absolutely right not available and then now we see uh that the I guess the Hawks are selecting Carter Bryant even though it was selected by the San Antonio Spurs from Arizona you know they’re getting a 67 forward going down to Atlanta i guess the pair next to Jaylen Johnson and the new look Atlanta Hawks with Trey Young Jaylen Johnson and Christos Porzingis how do you guys feel about this selection chris I’ll start with you wait so Cardinal Bryant is a a Hawk or is that for the Derek Queen pick you talking I’m talking about Carter so isn’t Carter Bryant going am I going crazy i think it’s a Spur no the Spurs he’s with Santo i was trying to find He’s going with Santo i’m seeing from Yeah I think Yeah we got confused with the with the queen yeah okay um Yeah no Carter Bryan has is a two-way player he I think he’s just going to be a good player i wasn’t his upside is uh some people think he’s can be like a top five player in this draft but uh really good two-way player it feels like he’s a spur like he’s like the ultimate spur like every mock draft I did everyone took Carter Bryant to the Spurs so he just he’s going to he’s going to fill in like that Harrison Barnes type of like he’s a Harrison Barnes type of player good call in that type of and it’s kind of fitting that he’s on the team so um I I think it’s a good pick you know big 6’8 the wingspan stuff you know he didn’t with crazy he didn’t play that much at Arizona but that was more on the coach i don’t know that was kind of weird situation he should have played a lot more but um he’s a good player and uh I you know some people said he could possibly go higher but this is a good spot he’s going to San Antonio you know another luxury another luxury pick for them dexter how you feeling about this if this feels like a Spurs type of pick solid player I think could be a good role player uh could also play well off of you know well depend who knows depends a lot on who they have at guard there but a lot of a lot of guards there the talented guards there along with WBY so yeah I I like this pick i think he’ll be able to defend at at this level pretty pretty well he’s got that what Chris 7 foot 71 wingspan um you know you you see from him so yeah like he’s only 19 so he’s also got some time the Spurs are just adding some good young talent you see this now in the league right everybody’s just trying to get these wings and draft them early wings with length I should say and draft him early um and see see what you can do in terms of development so yeah no I I like this pick san Antonio gets a guy in a spot where they thought they could get him so it’s a it’s a good it’s good value for for them here he could shoot too a little bit so he shot like 38% in college so they need shooting they need shooting around with all those guards you know they don’t have guards you know they got a lot of non-shooters on their team so they need to surround those non-shooters WBY and all those with with guys who can shoot the ball and Carter has the ability he didn’t shoot a lot of threes but he shot it solid when he did so you know CK what do you think about the Spurs man moving forward i mean what do you think about this team moving forward for like this upcoming season because they got Darren Fox you know you got Harper Vel Barnes obviously Wemanyama on the team like where is this team moving with these selections are they just trying to stay young or are they trying to stay competitive the the beauty with the Spurs is even though like I said at the top I’m I’m not the biggest fan of the Harper pick because we’re not we might not see much Harper and that’s really all it is outside that we know they’re going to develop him and there’s no worry of like a New Orleans kind of situation where he might not play but then he’s not going to get any better no even if he doesn’t play he’s going to improve because it’s San Antonio but um yeah it’s just that question mark um I I I we were talking about it i said to Chris and I I said to you like I I wasn’t the biggest fan of the the De’ar Fox trade for the mere fact that you had a super or or a a possible superstar in what is Castle who ended up being rookie of the year it’s just a lot of question marks i feel like they got all these great pieces all these great tools it’s they have a great uh young team with guys that make sense i still feel like they need to move like the Kellen Johnson’s i don’t know what they want to do with so stuff like that but um I mean they’re in such a good spot though regardless of those little minor complaints that you know like I mentioned even if Harper doesn’t play he’s going to develop like you guys both just said with Brian I like the pickup for the mere fact that he fits this team well and even if he doesn’t get many minutes in two three years we’re going to be talking about how he’s such an improved shooter because he’s going to get those opportunities so you know the Spurs they they love doing things at the beat of their own drum so I it’s one of those things no matter what I’m going to talk about with their their their guard situation um I don’t have much uh worry when it comes to developing the young talent that they do have if I were to say anything yeah the Kell Johnson thing I think he probably needs to get moved to you know make a little bit more sense for the squad maybe they do make a Darren Fox move uh Chris was saying that there’s a possibility that you you know they might put him on the block maybe who knows but um you know I’m I’m the the the the one thing I’m not worried about is development for these young guys even if they don’t play they are going to be good NBA players long term anyways for sure and I mean look you can move on from Darren Fox you know Chris Paul’s going to be out of there like you can open up the you can open it up for Castle but I guess this is what this is what’s so fascinating about the Spurs they you go in to get Fox you know you have Barnes so that way you have like you have Chris Paul on the team you have the veterans because you want to make a play at least and and just give this young team a sense of just you know highlevel competition to know what it’s like and just to give them a taste of not real postseason but you know the fake postseason you know the and I with now you now that you have all this young talent it’s like do you just get rid of those guys go back to being young and let these guys slowly develop Because look with women coming off the blood clot injury you know um how fast do you want to rush him back to get back in these things you just want to take it slow i think these are a lot of things that Papovic who you know who also retired from being a head coach still going to be in the front office how do you want to move this team forward and set them up for success so a lot of good things for the Spurs man a lot of good things for the Spurs thank god they’re out west and look if you’re if you’re if you’re thinking about the Spurs too and you’re looking at how stacked the West is do you even want to accelerate the timeline right now to compete with the Thunder do you even want to do that that’s the bigger you want to rush it like do is there really a need to rush the process essentially for them that’s the thing I’m I’m I’m very intrigued of what they’re going to do is like do you do you want to just wait it out or or do you want to go in and try to win right now because it’s it’s it’s a gauntlet it’s a gauntlet out west so do you really want to rush it or would you just be patient let the young guys develop and let’s develop at their own pace you know look at the team just won look at the team that just won you know what I’m saying like yeah exactly yeah and they just got richer by the pick i was just going to say and here we go with selecting Thomas Sorber at the 15th pick dexter how you feel about this one man wow um so who did they get with the 15th pick thomas Sorber thomas Silver with 15 pick okay um not not not bad there um in ter in terms of what they could do i have only he that was the Georgetown big um I I know so I did see a little I do watch a little Big East basketball um he’s got some thing you know Georgetown’s so tough to evaluate some of their players with there and I’m sure you guys will talk about in the second round micah Peavey who a lot of people have linked to the Knicks um Sawer he’s got some skills uh he’s got a he’s got a he’s a big body i I think how he can use it uses footwork in the NBA could be very interesting to see um I think he could do worse for it than than a big for him here at 15 um and he he can play well 15 was I’m sorry this was Miami miami had him at 15 right thunder oh Thunder thunder thunder just picked him up yeah well look there’s some t listen you got sometimes you got to respect the teams man some teams like I’m saying we you know Chris was just talking about with the Spurs and why I agree with them on trust in the process the Thunder usually don’t miss on things like this and they like guys who they have flexibility i think one of the things they’ll look at you know you have I don’t remember if Jaylen Williams not JD Dub is I don’t know if he’s a free agent this year i can’t remember or not or he’s got one more year in his deal but they’re probably thinking about life without him or after next year with Hartinstein um cuz then they have a option for him there so they’re thinking about what they’re going to do down the road look they know they need to get tougher they’re probably thinking about depth you can never have another another big you never have enough bigs another big is good what god forbid you saw you saw this season Hartinstein got hurt ket was out for a while can they get another big body they could trust that gives them some toughness cuz you know that was their weakness the year before they were getting killed on the boards we saw that um in the Maverick series where they got knocked out so yeah that this this is a good value center at that and the thing you have to start doing is do you trust OKC’s development and the answer has to be yes look how many second round picks they had in this finals that played a huge role for them in winning the championship whether it’s Kase Wallace right Andrew Wiggins they have found guys so I trust him to find good value time and time again so does does Sorby need to develop some things yeah I think defensively but I think he’s got some good skills that can work uh for them and I think he’s in a system where he’ll have the time to do that he’s a 15th pick on a championship team where they don’t need him to come in this year but I’ll tell you what if they can find minutes for them they have a coach that’s going to find minutes for him so he can develop and listen you know you guys been talking about this all the time long with the Knicks that’s part of the reason Tibs is not with the Knicks anymore you today’s NBA you got to have depth you got to play young guys you got to guys can only learn if they get the reps so he’s not a guy I think is going to ride away on the bench if he can’t play um and the fact that they have so much in their war chest they’re still picking guys they want that flexibility to be able to make moves because I still think in the next two years two to three years as the Thunder try to keep this going they’re gonna move some guys they still last year’s draft pick who didn’t even play this year Topek is going to play this year who I think is great out of Serbia 68 guy out of Serbia so look I trust the Thunder it’s all I’m saying it’s not even that deep i trust the Thunder have to look for to to answer your question on Jaylen Williams not JDub but the other Jaylen Williams that comes off the bench he’s got a uh team option uh this year for 22 2.5 mil so uh 2.2 mil sorry about that and so we’ll see what they do but to your point Dexter this is why they draft this is why they’re keeping their draft picks and for a team like OKC where you’re not a free agent destination you have to work through the draft and you know we all joke saying “Hey what are you going to use those draft picks for?” But now that they won the championship why do you even got to move to go get a star at that point you’re just you just have a funnel of talent that’s just constantly coming through and you can say “Hey you want some?” And here’s the crazy thing even the bench players like Wiggins you could pro you could get stuff back in return for those guys when they’re looking to get more money it’s like “Well we got another guy no worries we can go trade go get some more assets and keep moving forward.” That’s like that’s for Prey genius genius how he’s operating that team you know you know what’s got me nervous here guys i keep looking down at my phone shams hasn’t tweeted in like 15 minutes something is going on man something’s coming something’s cooking i’m telling you something’s cooking something Something is brewing cuz I’m not I’m not I don’t have the broadcast on right here with me but uh something’s brewing yeah he hasn’t tweeted he hasn’t tweeted out any to your point usually he tweets out like the pics that are coming in too he has not tweeted out the pics yeah the last time he tweeted was 22 minutes ago and the last retweet was 15 minutes ago so there’s something happening something’s cooking man something big might be cooking and I wonder I wonder if it involves the Nets because we’re coming up on their pick and um they still have what 19 26 and 27 and I don’t Oh wait they had another pick oh 22 i forgot about 22 sorry 19 22 26 and 27 they still have four more picks i don’t think they’re picking all those picks um I tweeted that out yesterday i I I know that they were being active and trying to move up i do not I know that i was very intrigued to see if they could get into the top five top three um I’d heard some things about them talking to the Sixers but that obviously didn’t happen the Sixers pick Edgecomb they they keep that um I I something else the Nets are going to do something whether it since they didn’t move up i think it’s more likely that they take one of their last two picks or both of them and try to kick them back to try to get future first rounders on that cuz I I just there’s not enough roster space to take off we’ve seen we’ve seen the Thunder do this we’ve seen the Thunder do this in many drafts they’ll kick back some of the picks so I I I wonder man um yeah yeah so somebody in the comments said Nets are going to give the Knicks five picks back for Shout out to TM for Shout for T shout out to Chief Modern Operation tm said “Hey are we going to get We like draft day the movie where they get he gets all his first rounds back.” Yeah so we get Dante back we give back Bridges to the Mets that you just tweeted oh surprise the number 18th pick is going to be Hold on i just came out here my alerts china’s Yang Hansen oh wow so second international pick i don’t know where where did a lot of people have him projected to go Chris um he’s one of like the biggest risers he’s another one who benefited so much from the the combine like cuz a lot of people worried about his body and like whether he’d be in condition and he showed out like he actually you know held up his own so uh I but I saw like I didn’t see anyone have him this high i saw like in the 30s the highest like that’s when I saw from a lot of people that I trust like in the 30s like he’s not even in the green room i was just gonna say you are not lying he’s up in the boonies he’s not even in the He’s where Giannis was when Giannis got drafted you know you know so like But you know you know they drafted Edy last year like you know isn’t Oh no this is getting traded right is this uh Oh Portland portland this is Portland’s pick portland’s pick yeah but Klingan too like so him and Klingan so they got two 7 foot one monsters and they got Aon out there and Robert still on the roster and Robert Williams oh my god one of those guys i’m sure two of those you know combination of those guys will get out yeah it’s called Eight and Robert Williams are going to you know hit the road some might listen and a lot of people think that Portland might do more moves even after getting Drew Holiday something else is cooking there with Portland some something else something else might be i like what they’re doing i like the foundation i love what Portland’s doing man yeah me too like they cleared up Anthony Simon so Scoot can cuz Scoot he struggled you know his first year he struggled but then like the the start of January like you look at his splits the efficiency was there the passing was there the scoring he had some big some really big scoring games like you know so um you know Scoot’s going to you know developing they got you know Sharp you know they drafted clean I am a fan of Shaden Sharp man Jayen Sharp’s gonna now they’re gonna he’s got more shots you know so you know I like what they’re doing there Does Drew stay in Portland though all those rumors are all over the place with that because he’s you know the rumors are saying that he is not happy not happy right look at his passing sorry I’m on this Yang Hansen guy his ball movement is crazy yeah yeah his playmaking sorry i’m so sorry combine this is new to me this is new i didn’t know the combine like he was probably like in the 70s let’s say like a lot of people have him like outside like not even thinking about it um I know a few people that liked him the previous year but they’re like you know the condition needs and and the the play he was playing in China is just a different type of athlete and he went to the combine he showed out like he was like some people say yo it was like mini jokic like he was joking like watching the he like it was yeah he has some dimes i’m like “What?” Okay he he him Cedric Coward there’s a few other guys that the combine really did wonders for them they went from being you know especially Yang maybe a second round pick to Yang’s now a top 20 pick you know so okay i’m impressed bye Aiden aiden’s gone yeah yeah yeah aiden and I mean when Aidan couldn’t go to work because of this the the the ice remember that couldn’t go to couldn’t go to the game because the ice I you lost me there man you lost me you lost me you lost me you were you NBA player you can’t go to Sorry and they brought people there to help him out and he’s like “Nah I’m good let me PTO i’m going use my PTO today.” You know PTO in the NBA come on dog not a good look that’s how I know you don’t want it that’s how I know you don’t want it oh man oh man he he he this he really benefited like it’s it’s insane how much the combine did cuz his it was it was all about his his uh his physical traits and he he played really good he He’s one of the guys that really stood out so like I I didn’t think he’d go this high i thought maybe the 30s you know but Memphis is you know they’re they’re quirky they don’t go they usually go outside the box type of team well he’s going to he’s going to Portland though right portland portland yeah no this is what I’m saying man we just got to change these graphics i know just like come on man this is the issue when content creators are trying to break this thing down and we’re looking back at the graphs we’re looking at the charts and we see oh going to the Memphis Grizzlies it’s like what are we doing what are we doing this is just up there with the CK thinking we’re about to get a boop knight so you know it is look man look man but that’s W’s fault to this day I’m blaming He’s not even in the league anymore CK like it’s crazy he’s out of the league in just three years insane three years now you got the Timberwolves on the clock w Behringer okay now we’re going to see a lot of the international guys go start going here yeah probably i I I bet a lot of people didn’t think uh Yang would go this high no no no no not at all but I mean listen look I I say this all the time i was talking about this on another show i was just on about the Nets pick um and how people were you know and I’ve seen a lot of Nets fans tweeting at me and and they they have not been thrilled with the pick um but I’m like look you don’t know with some of these guys and I think sometimes uh we get into the big boards and the projections of of of some of the the so-called experts and like what really matters is where these teams and their GMs have them ranked um you know that that’s that’s really what matters i was talking to an international scout the other day about this and he was just like look it’s all about in that war room what you have ranked your team and people around you making these decisions might like a player different so if Igor Devin if if the Nets had him ranked high and he’s a guy who I know isn’t flashy i know he didn’t shoot the ball that well but he does seem to have a good feel for the game i could it feel it feels like a Shawn Marks pick to me so it didn’t shock me as much in that way um maybe they reached for maybe they reached on value but maybe Portland reached on Yang but maybe they really liked him and he was so high on their board he wouldn’t have been there later so that’s why you can’t go by all these big boards and everything you see look do teams get it right yeah sometimes they get it wrong drafting is not an exact science i say that all the time it is not an exact science if drafting was exact science Frank Nilina would have been an all-star and I would have been wrong because I thought that man was going to be nice so you know what I mean so we’re all there man yo I I was on the Frank Lita train Chris i was on the Frank Lita train i swear I was on the Frank Lita train and look we all we all have one at least one some of us don’t want to admit it but we all I had I was hyped on Johnny Davis oh Johnny Davis i know Wizard fans were hype on him yeah yeah like all of us have all of us have won so guys even who scout and watch these guys that’s the thing you don’t know until these guys hit the court you don’t know until they get in the team setting you don’t know until they get paid sometimes for people being paid for doing this professionally i know it’s NIL now but it might change their motivation you really don’t know until you get into all these factors so that’s why a lot of times I’m like you can like a pick but I’m still kind of like all right we we got to wait and see because who knows i can Can I ask you guys a question who do Who do you Who do you guys uh who What Who do you want to see the Knicks do at 50 i’m going to leave it to to CK and Chris on this one man kobe Breer okay I’m I’m He I’m on it i Here’s my Can I tell you my one concern though i like him my concern is he shoots he might be the second best shooter in this draft if not the best shooter in this draft he’s the best um defense is a concern but but but but but the Knicks need some shooting they need they need somebody out there even if it’s off the bench to get some shots up right like they lost this with Dante my other concern Chris and you probably can speak better than me because you seem like you’re more plugged in with the college game um will he be there at 50 will somebody identify that elite shooting so much that maybe he’s gone by 38 i’m just going to throw a number out there or something like that i do like him though um I had sent a text to a friend the other day i was like “Yo I think Kobe Bray will be on on point.” And then I had a former scout on with me last week and he said he had mentioned Kobe Bray and Mike Peavey were his two he thought that could be good fits and could contribute right away for the Knicks so but Chris I’ll let you talk on that kobe Bray is on the radar too i I do like him yeah if if I had I did this before um I had a bunch of guys nicks targets and but I said if all them available and Kobe Brea is there you take Kobe Brea and like you mentioned the defense isn’t good but at the 50th pick there’s a reason why players are there they’re not going to be perfect he is the best shooter to me in this class like at every catch and shoot off the c off the dribble you know to the side side step boom boom boom you know Cory Tabo Alex he actually had him and did a whole like workout they did a deep dive into his game you watch that if if anyone you guys you know go on YouTube go watch that from Cory from No Ceilings like he did a really good job breaking down everything of his game it It’s beautiful it’s just beautiful i know defensively it might not but like I said it’s the 50th pick not it’s not going to be perfect you know not every process can be perfect at 50 he’s the best shooter and you need shooting and if I don’t think he’s going to be there anymore like like now with NL and all these kids going back like maybe a month ago when you know when everyone was still in the draft process he probably is there at 50 now I think he’s gone in the 30s to be honest in the four i I think he’s gone before 50 but if he’s there at 50 take him run to the podium take Or even if it’s Listen I know it’s crazy to think about trading up in the second round but if I was about there in the 45s in that mid40s I don’t know i might do it maybe that’s just me maybe because I’m I’m just a weirdo like that i might just do it you know traits but I I I love him i think he’s I think I would absolutely love him in New York and like he he came from Dayton and shot the ball really well then he levels up i I this is what I love i love guys who level up in competition and get better like he comes to Kentucky in the SEC a gauntlet absolut the best conference ever and he shot the ball better than he did at Dayton in the 810 you know so and for if you haven’t watched him like shot is smooth man like off the dribble um catch and shoot the release is quick the shot is smooth i was and I looked at that he doesn’t defenders are running at him and he doesn’t look afraid of the turret i’m like “Ah this this this kid is the shot is the shot is nasty.” Um look Chris I’ll say this i do not think it’s crazy that if let’s say I’ll even go to I said 38 but I’mma push it down a little bit let’s say it’s 42 or 43 and he’s there and you if you really I’m always a believer in this if it’s a guy you want you think he fits for what you need you go get him you if you got to give up an extra second round pick do it you do it you got to give a future second if you think he could help the team next year cuz that’s what the Knicks need can you get another guy that’s low cost that can help the team next year and then in a row the Knicks need the Knicks need shooting man big time and maybe you figure out the other stuff with the defense but they need shooting um I give I’d give up an extra a future second round pick to move up and get him if that’s if that’s your guy go do it all in on him Toby although I like Pavey there’s other guys I would like Pavey i am a big PV guy too georgetown you know but Brea I mean if you can go watch that breakdown you know he did a film with with uh with Cory Talab of No watch it it’s just it really goes into really detail about his shot i’m going to watch that yo we got another trade um Washington is trading a player who I really like here in this draft and I think could been kind of a sleeper from Florida Walter Clayton Jr uh Washington is trading him at 18 to Utah so he’s going to Utah going to Utah you know what they’re getting going to Utah but before we break that down let me go into uh let me go into our sponsor of tonight SeatGeek people all right shout out to SeatGeek let me tell you a little

buy tickets to watch him shoot man because we do need some more shooters on this team so now we have Washington trading as Dexter said uh is trading Walter Clayton Jr at number 18 to Utah and uh shout out to produ producer CP ace Bailey wants out i’m sure he does i’m sure he does here we go man who want This is just hilarious danny A choosing a player who does not want to be there we were talking earlier in the program ace saying you know I told you man imagine training cam comes and he doesn’t play basketball imagine can you imagine that he wants Francis Francis the way everything’s played out with him yeah I could see it man nothing was sh Nothing shocked me i could see it like the way he just missed the the meetings i don’t know what his team was telling him to do i hate to say it but I think we’re gonna see um some more stuff like this because guys already yo they’re put like they’re rich already you know what I’m saying like they already got a bag with the NIL i’m all for I’m all for the kids getting their bag because they were getting exploited by some of these schools but um you’re going to see some of this it might be a game of chicken Alex where Danny Age is like “Yo you going to show up and play or not?” Ace Bailey is like “No I don’t want to be in Utah.” And I’ve been ass like maybe maybe Brooklyn’s like “Okay like he he wants to be in Brooklyn.” That’s what I I from what I heard that in DC that in DC is what I have to ask this question though because if you’re a player who you’re a rookie you haven’t even you haven’t even scratched the surface of your NBA career but yet now you’re making all these demands if I’m seeing this as another team even if you’re the Brooklyn Nets and you say “Hey this is the guy that we wanted in the draft.” Why in God’s name would you want to go get a guy who as soon as he’s not happy is just going to cause problems like why even go that route why even get like I get the upside i get all that being there but why even go after a talent like that why even go for who hasn’t even made his mark yet in the NBA why even entertain that idea as another team i I get it i get it Alex but Shawn Marx is in a do or die situation that part so he doesn’t he doesn’t really care about that like it’s he could be out of a job by this time this next year so it’s like all right if this kid could save my job it it might it you know I think he wants I think Ace wanted Brooklyn i really think he wanted Brooklyn or Washington and you know so they have the capital to do it and like I said Shawn Marks is in a must it’s it’s it’s do or die for him so maybe it’s not ideal you know cuz you know but you know this is a business and you know you got to make the rules to save your job your job’s on the line you know you don’t care about them picks because who cares if you’re fired you don’t care about the picks you know you’re not a he’s not a Nets fan he he just works for them you know so you know it’s it’s you got to be in that mode you know so that’s my thinking is you know if he if you think this guy saved your job and he could be a rookie of the year type of player then you got to you got to pull the trigger if you can i know he wants Brooklyn so if if that’s something that can happen you know maybe that’s why Shan didn’t tweet for all that time in Brooklyn you know but uh you know and it still puts in position for next year too to be get a high pick too you know um because Ace is going to miss a lot of shots too but he he going to shoot under 40% next year no matter what but you know uh at least it you know there the potential is is there so you might have to might have to do it well that to that point right like we know how Danny A likes to try to hold teams hostage he tries to just say but is this even like the I mean come on now but still no but but think about it like this utah picked right before Washington yes and they were had three spot was that three spots before the Nets so he’s like he probably was like look I’m gonna take this dude one if they really if he had the intel that they really wanted them let’s see if you really want him and and the Nets have so many picks that’s the person he’s really playing with because they they have so many picks to give and like I said I don’t think the Nets are are going to draft all these players well and Dex to your point look just chose Walter Clayton Jr all right the Nets are now on the clock with 19 you got 26 and 27 left to go in this draft do they make the move now do they give up all three picks is that is that the move by Danny Ames do you try to get the three remaining in one that’s a lot man and that’s the thing that’s the issue because now he he knows where he wants to be that’s the biggest issue it’s Danny A he’s going to get every ounce of whatever he can get but he don’t care if it’s Ace Bailey or LeBron he is going to do whatever it takes to get what he wants in a move and I feel like that is what makes this so sick because of who it is and he’s dealing with a desperate GM that’s like that’s like the So like that’s like oh Danny A like this he’s like oh you desperate bro you know so like you need Danny you need you need like I see he’s like yo I see food right it’s opportunity one every single day man yeah he see Yeah and and here’s the thing look many people have gone have gone on the phone talked to Danny A and have come out not well on the other side exactly i I don’t necessarily wouldn’t want to be in the business of trading with Danny A when he knows if he has information is key right guys like information is key and if he knows that the player wants to be there and you have the picks who really has the leverage right like that like that is the question there like who really has the leverage here and ah I I look I don’t have to make that decision but Chris makes a fantastic point shawn Marx is GMing for his career here desperate and that is a fantastic point because now he’s been fortunate I will say to have been given another chance not many GMs get to this is what Jordy Fernandez was the fourth coach he hired not many GMs get that chance and so you kind of got to nail this that’s all I’ll say but if if if you’re going to do this for Ace Bailey you better you better be right you don’t you like you you can’t be wrong on that one no I didn’t trade i know you’re laughing but you you It’s true you can’t be wrong with that one bro i’m That just proves the point more about how crazy Danny Ang is man like yeah no 100% because he’s going to because he knows the desperation from Shawn Marks that now too he’s also putting his career on the line for that reason as well because you’re going to get what you want to get and now if he ends up being wrong I still got what I want and dang you lost your job too that’s unfortunate sorry to hear about that the whole world so crazy bro he’s psycho like that’s it’s just so interesting man it sounds like that terrible like being like a fantasy football league or whatever league and someone drafts like imagine being in a fancy football league someone drafts like all the quarterbacks you need a quarterback and just thinking about like I’m going to get this guy what if it just doesn’t work out and Brooklyn says not because right now they just selected uh Nolan from FR man another Chris this is another Frenchman you you would have been on fire today man you been on fire today boy i learned my I learned my lesson from uh from uh about uh French guards you know uh now he reminds me of um you know what’s crazy we just talking about like guys we missed on bad and um who’s the guy Okay killian Hayes oh okay okay killian even worse i had Killian Hayes since Dex i’ll tell I had him as my number one guy in 2020 no yeah number one him and then I had Ant-Man so I learned a lot from this these type of guards i’m not doing it i wasn’t high on short i’m not falling for it so Chris is said Chris is like I learned a lot i learned a lot from Hey but Chris at least your at least it wasn’t your job was tied to this you know what I mean like wasn’t like your job was on the line that was my first time scouting and stuff you know yeah you know uh uh KOC you know he he got me really into because he he had him number one and I I fell for the drank the Kool-Aid i was like “Okay 6’7 guard two-way player.” Like who wouldn’t want this listen you like I said like I said earlier on the way out of here you don’t get you don’t get somebody’s wrong fellas i do have to run cuz I got to get ready for this post uh draft show I’m doing but it was great kicking it with y’all man i I loved it um we’ll see what the Knicks do alex I’ll be Alex text me to text me to tomorrow cuz we’ll see what the Knicks do if they get uh

bit of like you know turmoil for the Knicks.” It’s not even turmoil they’re talking about like looking for a head coach is like some sort of turmoil like we fired a coach that wasn’t doing what the front office wanted to do in the end it’s like “Oh this team is going back to their old ways.” Well looks like you might get fleece just to try to get Ace Bailey man how about that that’s great yo I have a I have a Nets buddy of mine and he hit me up and he’s like “Uh this team isn’t serious it doesn’t matter.” He’s sick i’m like “Dude you still got a couple more picks left.” He’s like “I don’t

least it’ll be interesting hey I if you haven’t been to a summer we get I will tell you this ck is always thrilled all right always thrilled treat CK’s in regular season form at these games bro i am always impressed by how my man shout out to the Nick i was trying to put her on game on uh ball before he ended up going when he was on Westchester but he was balling and hooping for us and I was telling Nick I’m like “Yo ball is nice this guy’s cool.” She’s like “CK it’s I don’t care he’s not going to be on the roster i’m like but you’re missing the action y’all don’t understand bro tquin Jeff bro i was on Shake Milton when he was like you know barely on a roster man bro summer league is real bro i got hype when they hired when the Westchester hired Sagana drop i was hyped on Twitter and people like whoa why are you getting hyped though i was like Saga Chop is our coach he’s a good coach man oh we hype up over here i’ll tell you that means this is our first year without dice in a long time is dice i know man sad and I’ll tell you this this is how this is how intense CK is at these at these summer league games man all right this is how intense is my man was screaming at Tibs who was like right across the court from us yo you were scream yo this was not He’s like Tibs do something and I was like whoa bro man’s not having coaching we’re having fun got to keep the intensity got to keep inity you know what I mean all what we say all 82 no all year long all year all year long that’s the new model all year long 24/7 i don’t play around bro miamiy’s pick is in this team damn man talk about a team that fumbled the whole process like like they could have had a a really high lottery pick if they had like not uh try to win and try to make the playoffs cuz they got smacked in the playoffs right yeah cavs smoked them by 20 every game and uh they lost out they could have had a chance to get the number one pick i think it was dumb in Dallas like we would have been in a flip of a coin something like that you know but so I knew somebody was going to say something no I have so much beef with my my loving family here on KFTV i shot three half court shots okay first one bro very first shot i got to I got picked to do the half court shot everybody remembers right first one the very first shot that thing was about to go in whole crowd they’re like “Oh.” Because they thought it was going in the last one was a airball and which one do y’all play here on KFTV bro y’all played the air ball bro I am I am still to this day sick sick at the lack of of faith and belief that my my own family here at KFTV had in me playing the airball on repeat but no one want to talk about my first one that almost went where the crowd was behind me and uh and that’s where the Dcoan Jeffy’s love started by the way Alex because he dapped me up uh because of the first show okay okay my guy me and Dwan hey man look there there’s no there’s no lack of comedic relief when it comes to shots on this show i mean your half court he at least at least that’s reasonable you know CP CP CP on the other hand free throws that’s what Thank you Alex they compare my half court shot to damn free throws and other man yeah man i’m not expecting you to go out there to be Steph Curry bro you know what I mean like that man that’s that’s a regular shot from That’s a regular shot you know but hey the Miami Heat did select somebody from Illinois kasparas uh Jaconis jaconis okay kaspar Jacon is he Lithuanian uh I believe so yeah he’s from Lithuania i I love him i had a top 10 on my board i hate that Miami just got someone I like i mean I don’t even know what Miami always point man they always do that yeah they took Khalil wear last year like he’s supposed to be a Nick that’s That’s what I’m saying like uh but yeah he’s a he he’s a tremendous playmaker maybe one of the best playmakers in this draft 6’8 has good vision uh the one thing he just needs to get stronger to get to his spot sometimes he relies too much on a dribble to to to take up you know some bad shots but other than that playmaking is on par is uh really good and u can shoot can uh good free throw shooter needs to improve on the perimeter shot but to me you know I thought he was going to go higher but you know I think people are wary if he can uh create his shown shot and get to the to to the rim but if he can figure that out you know his playmaking is is elite so you know but Miami is you know it’s a good spot for him well I don’t really care what Miami does uh I still think they’re going to be mid if not below because even if they would got KD I don’t I still feel like they weren’t going to be that great i kind of wish they got KD and I wish Katie would cause some drama down there that’s all I wish for he’s never happy if you’re not happy in Miami as a single man I then I don’t know bro i don’t know right that’s so true you got no kids you got no girl that we know of if you’re not happy in Miami then that’s a rap dog like you just need to pack it up that is truly ball’s wife for that man if that’s the case respect respect to that that is your job but 100% man hey that how he wants to live his life man i I will not judge how he wants to live his life you know but I just want to see some turmoil in Miami bro just want to see some turmoil it’s coming it’s happening they’re already turning on They’re turning on Pat all right turning on Pat pat the Rat so down there that team looks Can you imag Who they didn’t want to kill a wear right that’s who they and and or uh Yeah they didn’t want uh and and Heismith don’t forget they did not want to really was another he was in the I swear to you that is wild can you imagine if the Knicks came out and said we did not trade for Can you Can you imagine if the Knicks came out and said the New York Knicks would not trade for Giannis Antmpo or anybody else and said because uh Tyler Kick it’s like what what are we doing man insane cuz that’s how that sounds to me yeah that’s that’s that’s wild that that’s it’s insane man absolutely insane shout out to Kane Marco aka uh Take Mob General for the $5 super chat shout out to you for being a franchise channel member just drove by Barclays and saw the police rushing in don’t know what happened ace Bailey spazzing baby hey man can you imagine like I don’t like honestly this is this is kind of like my thing though with like young players and and just go like you’re going to the league like you get you’re getting like a one in a million chance opportunity and you want to just I don’t know man just like throw it all off because you don’t want to be somewhere like people dreamed of this moment man people dream to just hoot and get paid for it at a high level just kid that’s the one thing Dexter I mentioned this before with like NIL Like now guys are coming in before they weren’t coming in with money so like you I’m happy to be here you know whatever now it’s like I got I just made $4 million now I got to go to Utah like nah I don’t want to be here i’m cool i could have went back to school or something like you know so there’s a different mindset now than just a few years ago you know it’s totally different mindset and look as Zach said happy that these guys are getting paid but the mindset is crazy though it’s absolutely crazy i mean you’re like once you’re still in the league man like you’re like one of 450 players that get to be in the NBA it’s it’s it’s a small pool of people like we’re not even talking about 1% we’re talking about under 1% exactly yeah i I heard somebody say this like “Yeah it’s cool you guys are getting money that’s great but make sure you keep the main thing the main thing like your goal is to make it to the NBA your goal is to get that max deal right don’t chase this little money here and and and then you know and forget about the bigger picture which is the BA you know or whatever it is to get to that that first big contract that rookie extension like don’t forget about that don’t chase a couple dollars here to get the big you know and you know in spite of the big money down the line for sure whoa hold on one second oh yeah there he is wow i don’t know if I should at this point you know how Dexter was on the show saying Shams is is you know taking too long to text and like tweet out stuff because some big news happening cp joining at this time i’m like I don’t It’s been a minute man you know I don’t know if something big’s about to happen i might have been working the phones man i might have been working the phones trying to get us into the first round we don’t know if you got a coach you know what I mean shout out to you on a tellathon now you know how you had the tellathon back in the day we’re like “Oh we’re sell we’re trying to raise $1,000 or like how are millions of dollars is that what you’re trying to do is that what you’re doing?” I’m like Ace Bailey man i’m trying to keep these guys out of Utah man my guy Walter Clayton Walter Buckets going to Utah i’m like damn bro ah man that That’s whack man i I like that kid’s game they sent him to the wall ace Bailey got sent to the wall danny Angel’s like “Yo listen man you must not know you must be new here i It’s going to be interesting man it’s going to be interesting they’re definitely going to force uh Marks to make a play because there’s there’s no way this kid is going to try to stay there nope i I can’t happen yeah if you’re CP if you’re the if you’re Marks right now are you making the move for Ace Bailey or you saying this is like Cuz at this point look you already used three of your five selections in today’s draft yeah are you like are you saying “Hey Ace I’m going give you these two picks and be happy with it.” Or if not are you just moving on like what would you do if you’re in Mark’s situation i’d make a play like you said he might not be there that much longer you know he might not be there that much longer make a play put some chips in the middle and and try to go get him you know outside of Flagging Harper like that’s the next star power in this draft potential star potential you know what I mean so I take a swing it’s It’s worth it i agree it’s It’s when your job’s on the line like that’s why Danny Ang is just like B you know B man that he’s ready he’s like “Oh I smell you know blood in the water.” Like “You desperate you desperate you want this player.” Like I think that’s strictly why because I’m sure Danny A knew that Ace Bailey and his team did not want him there but he’s like “Okay that’s cool we’re going to take you anyway but now we’re going to get what we want.” Mhm and I think the the Nets are just like name you know who do they want though like what do they want at this point since they were like is there somebody out of all the guys that they draft is there anyone that you want or do you want to like get somebody like Nick Claxton and get some like center uh insurance and then trade try to flip Kesler kesler yeah is that what you’re trying to do i see that that makes sense that makes sense because Kesler could go for a boatload yeah so I think Danny Angel is just constantly trying to figure out how they can get more get more get more get more that’s it that’s his mode right now at what point is it the end though of like I know more Sam Prey cuz it worked it worked well Sam Prey is different man but that’s the thing it’s the same same mindset they they they are winning championships and still got all the draft picks in the world i know okc could have moved up to five if they really wanted to right right and they almost got the Sixers pick you know Sixers needed a tank you know there was they would have got this the the Sixers pick you know so you know it just doubt Danny A’s moves and stuff so like I I think the Nets are Nets fans aren’t happy right now like I said like CP I don’t know if you saw I got a Nets fan who texted me and they he’s sick sick to his stomach with what’s going on like didn’t like the picks you know the international stuff you know wow you know but right now Nets fans I don’t think they’re feeling too good right now they’re on they’re on edge right now well definitely happy to hear that um speaking of Utah the pick is in uh Will Will Will Riley Chris wing out of Illinois headed to Utah another wing off the board man okay what do you think i like him i like him he He’s a good scoreer you know him and Jacquionis um you know were good with the good uh tandem there in Illinois thing is he just got to get stronger he’s only He’s only like a buck 70 he’s 6’8 he’s got the the the rain um the body but he needs to fill in he’s like a buck 70 buck 80 so he gets he gets pushed around a little bit you know if he had the defender on him they can easily you know you know move him around so once he gets you know um he bulk up he could he could be solid so I think good pick here will Riley headed to the uh the Utah Jazz okay all right let’s see man let’s pull up some highlights see what he’s talking about man will Riley man is Will Riley a guy that the Brooklyn Nets want this is stay is this one staying with Utah i know there’s mad trades being made nothing’s been said yet no I think No it says uh Oh looks like this one’s traded to Washington oh is it there’s so many they said 43 yeah which one for Clayton which which one uh which one of the picks for Clayton is going to Washington uh 43 okay utah sent 43 and second rounders uh 2031 2032 to Washington okay will Riley how tall is he will he look like he’s 6’8 68 yeah oh is he 6’8 wow he looks pretty damn tall i think he’s a legit 68 too i’ll double check but I think he’s a legit 68 wiry he super wy bro yeah he he’s like a buck 70 soaking wet so like he needs to he needs to gain some lbs he got that he got that chill homegrren build yeah yeah i see Chad walking around the streets of OKC i’m like “Yeah he looked he looked like he’s a local the way he was dressed out there.” That was funny as hell they said nobody showed up to the parade everybody was at work yeah it just looked like it was like a a regular parade like you know how team You know how people have like local parades like towns have local parade that’s what it looked like right that’s what it was yeah yeah that’s what it felt like like but dude I don’t know how do you even Bro how do you even have gates that high like gates that high to stop like even the fans from like dapping people like they couldn’t even they couldn’t even like dab anybody up it was crazy it was like like it was like you were at a petting zoo almost not even like you’re actually actual zoo the way that they had people on the on the sidewalk caged in why is Brooklyn Why are they so happy you saw that the Harrison Nets war room what is going on quick everybody get up everybody get up and start high-fiving big the Nets really put an emphasis on like the international scouting too i noticed oh my god yeah how many international guys did they get in this one they got two already two wow like are these are these like guys that are slated to play or draft in Stash uh no both of these guys should be um Eigor went to BYU but he’s really an international guy but uh Prey is going to be here but uh you know I don’t know eigor I think is is going to play i don’t know about Nolan nolan to me is a project i didn’t like him a lot i had him in the second round uh and he’s one that fell his stock dropped but Eigor I could see playing you know him and him and Cam can play like off each other a little bit uh but Trey wasn’t crazy about that i thought they that was a that was a reach i thought that was a reach hawks but they they they’re heavy on international the Nets they they got a lot of they invested a lot in the international scouting like Oh interesting okay all right um Hawks okay proposed trade okay so this is so who’s this is Nets Net’s pick yeah this is from the trade from yesterday wow I believe okay all right that’s why they’re all excited CP they got they got the next big thing man coming up pick is in who Who Who’s uh who’s left on your big board do you think who’s who’s the next best player um man if I was dumb I I I would have took Jayce over Treyarch jace Churchen i don’t know people are they they I know he’s 6′ one but he don’t play like he’s 6′ one man uh he play he’s he he’s efficient he’s not he don’t have his pops hops you know um his father’s Jason Richardson but yeah that’s right that’s right he’s got a he he can still he’s he’s still athletic i would I would have took him over Trey like if if they would have took Jace I would have been like “Okay right they would have had me there.” But you know but I don’t I I can see like uh um maybe another international dude Wait did they already make their pick right now just the pick is in yeah the 22 pick so they could still go first the pick is in this is Brooklyn okay here we go with the 22nd pick of the NBA draft the Atlanta Hawks select and we’ll send to Brooklyn Drake Powell drake Powell this guy in the crowd looks bored he’s like “I’m ready to get up out of here.” You serious see homie in the crowd homie in the crowd say “Yo what time are we leaving man?” Oh man drake Powell okay old ball defender chris what do you think man in North Carolina he’s I mean he’s he’s solid i mean up and down at North Carolina i mean they were a mess though so I he has a I know I know a lot of people said you know he’s a big another benefit of the combine he He did good in the combine so he showed out so he was probably like a second round pick going into the combine and then I started hearing Buzz late first so I mean this is I think it was an upside pick but I didn’t have I had him lower he was like in the Where did I have him on my board i had him in the 30s I think on mine so you know yeah i don’t know yeah not the Nets fans aren’t happy what What did I have doing that black ready to go i had a 44 on my board 44 okay 44 on my board and that was kind of the range like he was in the like 30 to like 40ish range that I saw a lot of people have him he’s solid defensively though no yeah like he he’s got some defensive upside you know there’s some there’s potent with a shot too like I said it was it was a weird year for North Carolina like it was just a mess so All right drake that Drake Powell out of UNC going to uh the Brooklyn Nets see what we got here this is um the Ringers big board let’s see what they say about him here ringer big board uh lean mean two-way wing with the tools to be switchy on defense and squishy when spacing the floor so looks like a little 3 and D wing 6’5 7 foot wingspan okay even unguarded catch and shoot three shot 44% better yet motor on those plays was great power size speed and flexibility okay player comps what are they going to say harrison Barnes Atorian Prince Terrence Man Mo Harkless okay all right i mean he could be one of those guys that just they were in a bad situation in college and they’ll benefit more from being in in a pro style yeah you know so he may be one of those guys can I make a hot tick yeah go ahead man i think the Net’s going to use every single one of these draft picks and not trade anything i find that hilarious that’s how that’s that’s insane to think that you would like use all five like that doesn’t make sense like I don’t get it though you could be you you’re probably right CK but it it just like when I saw them made the the pick to add the fifth first round pick yesterday I was like “Oh they’re trading up.” That’s what I thought too they’re doing it they’re definitely trading up and now if they stay put status like I I I question yeah you’ve already used three of them so now it’s like what are you going to move because it’s not like you’re I don’t know me personally with the names that they picked i don’t know of another team’s like clamoring to get one of those names from you so if you’re trying to move those picks they’re using the picks like they’re going to keep them on their team so I my hot I think they’re gonna use every single one of these picks could be could be i don’t know i don’t know what it’s very interesting what they’re doing yeah i don’t get it i don’t get it it’s It’s not there i mean the thought process would have to be is there any other team that would give up a good amount to get Ace Bailey because if there isn’t then you’re essentially saying then you’re essentially saying you know family show to Danny A saying you know what if if we’re the only ones that are gonna have to trade for Ace Bailey you’re going to have to accept who we selected that’s the thing like if I’m Utah like do I want these players that they picked exactly that’s what I’m saying like fair i know everyone’s board’s different like I’m not you know everyone’s going to have different boards but like like Dexter said before everyone’s board’s completely different from even when talking to some of the scouts I trust but I don’t know if I’m Utah I’m like would you pick right that’s just me though i I don’t I don’t know no I’m with you i I’m the same way i feel the exact same way like it’s one thing if you’re on the phones with them and like this these are picks that Utah want to make but again we’re just assuming at this point but no to me it feels like these are Nets picks and now if there’s any try type of trade now you’re trying to sell them on players that you wanted and not necessarily who they want so I I don’t know i I can see Let me throw this back to you because you’re saying these are picks that the Nets would take what would be players that the Jazz would select that you would be like “Ah this screams like the this is a move for Ace Bailey.” I that’s a great question i have I have no idea i have no idea the picks that they made and the trades they made like CPS I know he’s hurt but like picking up like Walt and and and having you know I think they made good picks on their own with the picks that they had so I I I just I to me if I’m the Nets and I’m moving the if I was going to move these picks I would have moved these picks already and not used them is what I’m trying to say they’re harder to move now yeah i actually like what Utah did like I you know obviously Ace and and Walter Clayton like great picks that’s that’s good those guys can contribute if they play for him that part that part if Ace wants to play he can contribute um it’s you know that’s the big if right now but you know Walter Clay’s going to get minutes yeah Bailey think it’s just hilarious bro the kid literally looked like he wanted to cry all right utah man it’s that’s crazy i said “Bro no way bro this When was the last like Francis Steve Francis did but I don’t remember another time after where and we see in football right we see Eli did it and like it’s happened in football but I don’t remember the last time since Steve Francis did it with right when he was in Vancouver.” Yeah um since I don’t recall another situation where a guy was like a a a kid just like “Yeah I don’t want to play for this team.” Like maybe internally it’s happened like lowkey like “Yeah don’t d” but not like out in the open i do not want to like Zion when Zion saw that like Yeah that we all know he wanted to come here but you know it happens but all right speaking of Pelicans the pick is in this is going to This is going to the Hawks pelican select Jace is this region hey Jace I’m I’m trying to read lips here because I got the volume down now he’s talking oh no he’s doing like a update update or something ace Newell ace Newell forward out of Georgia staying in Georgia good for him that’s good the Hawks that’s That’s good value there scott Novak says he likes a D queen pick i forgot it was going to the Hawks i’m looking at the for the Pelicans i’m like I guess but not for the Hawks i like that asa Newell out of Georgia okay fever under 17 World Cup gold medalist oh that’s right jaden Newwell okay okay teammate at Georgia yeah that’s a good move he’s another one that’s got to bulk up a little bit but his game is kind of like in the post that’s kind of I like him in this spot cuz a lot of people had him going high i didn’t see that i liked him in this this is where I kind of had him on my board around this range so this this is good value like there’s potential for him to to to extend his shot he didn’t shoot the ball well from from the outside but Georgia too another funky situation team-wise they weren’t great sec was you know an absolute you know juggernaut night in night out so but uh he can rebound block some shots so this is this is a good pick for them he fits with Trey Young and all those guys jaylen Johnson you know Richade last year like they’re going to be moving the Hawk we we talk about the Hawks they’re intriguing they’re definitely intriguing for sure hawks Hawks going to be making some moves man for sure they’re going to be moving they’re going to be moving they’re going to be playing fast style so yeah yeah what what’ you say Al what do you think about the Hawks after getting Chris Stops and that whole roster um it’s a worth it’s a worthwhile swing man you get rid of the minivan and a and a second round picker or whatever it is i mean as long as you’re going to keep Trey Young there you going to have to like make moves to be competitive like other than that it just makes no sense if they if they don’t then you might as well try to move them but if you’re going to keep him then you might as well try to stay competitive and be even better than that you know you get Chris Dopps it’s always about health with him jaylen Johnson I love I think he’s he’s becoming a monster before he hurt his shoulder then you got Tyson Daniels it’s a nice little squad man they still got Okongu okongu stepped his game up big time last show this season too he did he did he played good late yeah he did so I I like the moves man do you know should be an interesting team not sold on them but they should be interesting i mean with the way the East is now shaken up after all these injuries mhm it feels like we’re going to see teams that probably wouldn’t make it in a healthy East just you know get up into like the five six spot even some playing teams man i don’t even know yeah no I dig it man to all of our franchise channel members in the chat we are at pick number 24 no home run swing yet by the New York Knicks you expecting one CP no no i was just hoping for a miracle you know just just give me a hell Mary or something m there would be some players too like and we mentioned before there’s certain players that if they’re there at a certain spot they like like we mentioned with Kobe Bryer before with Dex like if he’s there like in the 40s I’m Leon might have to call because I think he’s he’s he’s the best shooter in the draft like that’s someone that I would risk moving up a few spots to take but especially if you’re only moving some seconds i agree with you yeah here we go especially if it’s seconds yeah here we go what’s up the Utah Jazz uh hold on a trade there was a trade the Sacramento Kings are trading for the number 24 pick from the Oklahoma City Thunder and and taking Nick Clifford ESPN that’s from Sham Shirania well the the the thought was that OKC was going to trade something here and and and punt yeah i mean they got guys that like um like Topish last year that took top 12 he he didn’t play cuz he got hurt and then remember Usman Deng is still he’s still there he don’t get no run he’s still there former Knicks legend you know oh my god you know Deng former Knicks legend oh my god all right here we go they still got guys just on the bench just like who are cooking you know little lottery picks just chilling man another Frenchman for uh Crystal bro when I said that name I’m like “Yo they I think they might take Usman Dang.” And and the chat just went crazy neat Clifford oh he wearing purple too look at that yeah there you go he was ready to go damn he wanted the last man standing in the green room that’s tough i thought the green room was like just for the lottery cats for the most part i mean they invited a lot of people this year you invited a lot of people and then they had the the the Yang dude in the stands man my man was in my man was in the 200s he was a two you gota wait for him to come down i don’t even think he expected to get right cuz he spent so much time but his suit up oh man that was that was interesting that one cuz they already have um clinging there that was interesting with that but I ain’t going to lie yeah well maybe they look at it as like a little chat uh Hartinstein little you know that’s what I’m thinking like the twoman thing is now the new trend now so you not every you know how it is everyone’s a it’s a copycat league so everyone’s like “Yo we got to get bigs now you know we got to get bigs who can do a little little bit of everything.” So that’s I don’t know i saw that lead pass and I was sold on Yang bro i’m it i like he himard Ted Coward benefited from that combine man they they kne Clifford okay versatility shout out to Lou Boogie for the $2 super chat lou Boogie salute okay he’s got a little mean streak to him he’s going where again he’s going to Sacramento sacramento sacramento yeah you’re rocking the purple joint too yeah but that’s what I said n Clifford so we got Jace Richard and Rashier Fleming hugo Gonzalez there’s some good players rashir Fleming the fact that he’s he still here is Brooklyn about to use these two picks up i tell y’all Jace it’s got to be Jace rashier Fleming like it’s got to be a combination like if it’s anyone not name those guys I I be surprised i’d be I question I mean I’m already questioning what they’re doing um but I really would question or like Maxim Maxine Ronad like I thought he go higher i have 12th on my board like still there see see Alex this is what I’m talking about man you just need to get hip with the summer league bro the the Nets out here drafting their starting five for the summer league that’s what I was thinking say yo I got to see what these dudes talking about in summer league man they want those summer league rings i’m telling you man alex you got to take it serious bro could you imagine summer League wings man what are we giving the fan base this year we’re giving that summer league trophy that’s what we’re giving the fan base one shining moment one shining moment those four games that they played memorable me oh my god wait a second who wait we missed this thing with this dude uh with this dude Col Colin Murray Boils and getting picked by the Raptors oh no he wasn’t happy he was Yeah yeah wait wait wait wait let’s play Let’s play this soundbite here hang on so it’s everybody in the chat man we We are now in after hours you know we’re at the 25th pick nicks ain’t making no moves we got to get to the foolery man let’s see what’s going on with this hang on let me Let me pull up the sound bite okay here we go so this is young um Colin Murray Boils and this is what he gets picked by the Toronto Raptors at number nine here we go let’s Let’s hear it here we go oh it would be better if I didn’t have my Twitter on mute okay let’s try this again here we go with the ninth pick in the 2025 NBA draft the Toronto Raptors select Colin Murray Boils from the University of South Carolina [Applause] colin Murray he mouths a little fbomb but it it’s hard to know man it’s hard it was aggressive yeah i mean was it like I you know fbomb you know family show I don’t want to go here or was it like family show I made it to the league you know what I mean know what it is man he looked back up at the board to double check too come on man n he is not happy let’s go back up with his head let’s go let’s go let’s see colin Murray Boils sharing this moment with his mom Ivonne his dad Sean hold on now this is two players who are upset where they’re going this is crazy he said “Man family show man.” So where did he want to go let’s take a look at the board i mean you had the the Raptors were at nine me Oh he he he was trying to go get to KD no no that was Phoenix at 10 brooklyn at eight Phoenix 10 i mean he didn’t really have you know a murderer’s row of teams here chicago did he want to go to Chicago you had Phoenix you had Portland you had Chicago New Orleans like there was not a what’s crazy is that the repetition of how many teams are selecting in this draft Yeah is absurd i feel like it’s Groundhog’s Day man like between the Hawks between the between the Jets the Pelicans Wizards damn 100% love them some nepotism bro they got Jet they got Jace they had uh babies they had uh Cole yeah they love them bro bro oh my god bro is this going to be the new thing moving forward though like because because of the NIL people are getting paid in college like damn this is not where I wanted to go yeah I’m making money but I don’t care anymore man alex doesn’t like it true i don’t like it man alex is upset i I don’t I Look man someone called me today i was like “All right man relax i am 36 this year all right relax um DL2 says Toronto is a fire city our players ain’t trying to be there didn’t somebody else say that uh who was it was it um what’s the what’s the OG’s name um Thaddius Young was it Daddius Young that said that he said that yeah yo Dots’s a fire city man i I love it out there man i think he’s he was like the Well every time they would fly back in they had to go yeah yeah it was so much like every time and that that’s what was his issue was yeah makes sense this is a good value for the Magic they needed they needed more I figured they were going to go for a guard right yeah a scoring guard too like Yeah like Anthony Black is still a project his shots not dead they needed someone who just could just be a bucket so that’s Jace for sure all right so uh Jace Richardson is heading to the Orlando Magic the Brooklyn Nets are back on the clock man here we go and this is the Knicks pick this is our pick is this the Macau pick this is the Macau this is the

Who are we trying to trade up for in that draft was it um was it LaMelo no it’s 2021 who was it um was it Trey Murphy uh let me look up let me look up was it 2021 i think 2021 was Trey Murphy that year they put I know that was Trey Murphy or was it Oh how about when How about How about when CP lost when they lost Trey Man oh man trey Man bro i was hyped i was hyped about Trey Man bro absolutely they took Trey Man oh my lord wait I thought today was the anniversary of the bridges straight they saying it was July 6 i thought it was the 24th i thought it was today that’s why everyone post about today well I get maybe it was official it was That’s you probably the official uh Oh yeah because the league’s the league league starts later yeah the league year officially starts after we took uh that draft too we took uh the great Jericho ah your favorite wow there we go yeah so that was the Grimes the McBride Jericho Roas these Nets really about to use both of these picks bro i can’t with this [Laughter] oh man got to put it on a t-shirt ck what number what number we at 26 26 bk got back to back 26 and 2 yeah have these picks ready man get these picks out man come on man they should know what the hell they want right now cp’s in fantasy football mode he’s like “All right man back to back pick speed up speed it up you got to know what you want here let’s see who they got.” For those who don’t know when CP’s not selecting he’s he is rushing everybody else to make a selection like good lord ben Saraf International boys they going international bro how many hell are you bro please don’t them high-fiving again we need another video of them high-fiving and clapping please nah they these some of these got to be draft and stash yeah they’re not that’s even worse that’s it they couldn’t move any of these to move up and just get a solid player instead of drafting and stashing can you afford the draft and stash when your job’s on the line that’s what I’m saying would this be would this be the same cause for firing as like Phil Jackson where you select Frank Milkin like all right man we done with you five players oh he played for M he played he played for uh he played for Yeah dier’s team wow guys the Raptors responded to the memes of him um of uh what’s his face y uh family show oh did they yeah they they posted a picture of him smiling saying “See guys he’s happy.” Oh my god it’s good work i love a wear social media teams they went all in on the international dudes wow all in juan Sodto two home runs okay yeah I got it that’s funny that’s crazy so Alex I’m gonna point flip that question right back to you you think this this is somebody that Utah wanted that they told him to draft them so we can pray for you not at all all right just make sure not at all this is this is pure san insanity at this point i mean CK to your point we’re about to watch I guess a fire summer league team for Brooklyn so they they drafted the whole squad man they just got push this guy crying look at him yes look at Joside look at Josai look at him dude they’re so happy does that mean Mark’s safe joai cheering on is he safe is Mark safe who is this who’s this who’s this crying right here in the green room that’s Danny Wolf okay does it mean he got picked he went to Michigan he got handled he got handled oh it doesn’t look like he didn’t get picked he didn’t get picked i think he was supposed to go higher a lot i think he about to get picked i think he got the phone call i think he got the phone he might have just got him now but he looked a little stressed out before okay man is Man is crying he said “It’s your name your name’s right here buddy.” [Music] Neely too like damn that’s some good players he’s getting He’s getting the Dalton Connect uh treatment man what are we on about oh the net but come on Lou Boogie lou Boogie in the chat says “The bridges trade looks much better now.” Yeah never had a doubt i never had a doubt tell you what the president of the Bridges I have said he never had a doubt nice and strong man yeah pick is in they just want to yap like come on bro that’s what I’m saying man get out of here you got to get to that 8:30 mark or that 11:30 mark I bet you they go to one more commercial before they wrap ward yeah looks like it just got Yeah I think so i think that’s why he crying man he He got the call 27 Or Bro we been known you here in the 2025 there you go those tears were the tears of somebody who don’t have NIL deals actually wants to be in the league you know and got a phone call saying his dreams came true that’s what those tears were m that might actually be their best pick the button the button on the top the cherry on the cake wolf oh man what uh what do you guys think i think that’s their best pick i think that I I completely agree he he went from Yale and then he leveled up that’s right i mentioned this before a bunch of times like guys that level up in competition and get better mhm i like guys like that to me that translates to like you’re going to have some success in in the league too so he got skill like you know he can handle the ball and get to you know seven foot like he’s he’s a good player cp I just sent you a uh a clip asked by Zack Gelb who asked uh Cooper Flag uh about Oh Jason how was it any anything worth it he should let’s play [ __ ] just says “Hey you know kid says he’s excited to have me down there.” Okay let’s let’s play it see test his media training out all right danny uh Danny Wolf 13 points per game 50% shooter excellent passer inside out versatility okay he’s a good three-point shooter uh Chris he’s solid like he he’s like a he was like in a 33 34 like not great but Mhm with more spacing potentially in the league he could be he could be like a 36 37% uh break breaking news guys and this is not a joke i know I’ve been joking this entire time but this is a complete real record uh the Brooklyn Nets just set an NBA record making five first round picks in the draft new era for the Brooklyn Nets yeah had I mean never been number one had to be uh let’s see what Yosi saying anything final terms of the trade and the responses i’m not going to read the responses this is a family-friendly show i’m not reading those all right let’s uh Okay let’s hear this let’s get to it all right this is Cooper flag when he was asked about uh is Jason Kid gonna be there when you uh get to Dallas for your press conference here we go right Cooper being here in New York there’s a ton of speculation about Jason Kid potentially even the Mavs to coach the Knicks has he given you any assurance that he’ll be your coach and if so what do you kind of hope to learn from him um I mean no I haven’t had those conversations um yet at all but um I think talking with you know Coach Kid you know my workout and even after um I got picked I was on the phone with him for a minute I think he’s just excited um he has a good vision for me and what I can do and how I can impact the game so I’m excited to just talk to him more all right good answer good good answer you know not sure how else he could have answered it man so good answer i mean the kids uh coaching staff is just getting you know decimated decimated they said even God sham God is about to be out of there where where’s God going he probably going he probably coming here with kid i was just going to say that be a pickup god probably coming here with kid on his staff i’m with that i’m with that he’s a good player development guy too exactly yep yeah where guy going to go man he coming home come on bro i would love that why not so you Yo give him the um the summer league next come on man alex it matters bro it matters summer league matters yeah man is that the Is that what you wrote on the whiteboard when you got up and walked over there summer League no no no tio told me to bring back the the Zodeny hashtag back zod back part two part two we I’d be happy with that man yeah something’s up like something’s up man this guy’s brother can’t stop weeping um what was Stop i just saw I just turned my head too and saw it just I feel bad laughing but um something something is just is just a little off with the kid thing i I my my tin foil hat theory is that they didn’t want no bad news clouding the Cooper flag pick in Dallas i feel I I I I just feel like by Friday we going to hear something like he either gets an extension he’s staying or the relationship is fracturing he wants out and he’s coming to New York something you get one of those two yeah all of his assistants are gone sweeney uh Jared Dudley went to Cleveland that’s a big loss yeah Sham God they said could be on the way out oh no didn’t Or did Dudley go to Memphis did I leave was it Memphis or Cleveland i said it today memphis no he’s right memphis memphis okay okay memphis so I don’t know man you got no assistant coaching staff i mean the question if you’re the coach of that team and you wanted those guys would you be fighting to keep them yes you know what I’m saying yeah the other But the strange thing too is that you have Kyrie who walked in for a few more years too so like does he walk in if kid’s not there or is he just happy to be in Dallas yeah I think he does because it’s like you you’re you’re rehabbing an ACL like where else are you going to go to get the bag you know what I mean yeah yeah that was the best business decision for him the the kid thing is still It’s still funny man it It really is so we’ll see man see what happens here so you think Kid’s going to get the job i I don’t think he’s out i don’t think they’re out of it it just It just seems like you know all these guys are bringing in all these guys for interview it’s It almost seems like a backup plan to me for right now i That’s what it feels like it just feels like they’re interviewing just to interview those guys but like it feels like kids their guy like they’re just trying to figure out a way to get him like it’s obviously going to be difficult but that seems like that’s their guy right that’s right so let’s see i mean you could also think that you have guys like Rose and West that know the inner workings of the NBA right like they can know through all the back channels to know what’s actually going on what’s happening right especially West someone who’s just tapped in like get word hey this guy’s on the way out like they should have some intel saying it’s not going to be impossible it’ll be difficult but it could be very much possible especially if you have like these guys who are making decisions it just deter it’s it’s all based on when does the information get leaked out right right because this a lot of these things have already been happened or in the works of happening go same thing goes for trades too man yeah true all right I’m down to two more so to everybody in the chat hit the like button hit the share button subscribe to the channel shout out to LD oh what’s the details for KFTV at summer league still finalizing we should have that soon i think the summer league schedule should be releasing I would say by Friday maybe by Monday usually like right after the draft they drop the summer league schedule so we’ll see wait and see we basically we want to wait and see what the Knicks schedule is going to be looking like on Saturday the 12th on Sunday the 13th and then we’ll plan the Knicks fan TV uh meetup around that ck you you’re planning to come through right i’m there yeah I’m there i’m there uh you’re there all week though because you got the Yeah

the problems i run the garbage disposal to clean that thing out.” Got to take the garbage and recycling out tonight man yeah garbage and recycling out tonight man cuz then you’re going to regret it the next day you’re going to regret damn I should have just threw it out why didn’t I just throw it out can’t uh can’t forget that man they got Kobe Brees in ninth in the best available jay Bilis best available celtics just chose Hugo Gonzalez from Spain okay the timeline killing Danny Wol’s brother here that boy is weeping more more than the Wags is that Isn’t that what they call now the Wags yeah yeah it’s a new terminology the kids up on the wags it’s just so messed up cuz ESPN knew they had they didn’t need to go back to him oh man they were going heavy heavy they didn’t need to go back to him bro they were going heavy on bro side that was for the ratings they knew what they were doing that was for the ratings man man that poor guy that poor guy was sobbing grabbed every tissue out of the box and couldn’t stop man yeah remember when ESPN used to focus so much on like death right yeah right they used to be like they would find out like about your your second uncle and just like highlight that just focus on that and the tragedy is like yo can we stop with that i think they stopped with that with the NFL cuz it was like it was too much like yo a lot man you know yeah a happy day in these people’s lives let me let me just bring you back to when you lost somebody real quick he lost his family i see it come on dog in the in the hurricane it’s like all right go come on come on here we go this is Phoenix Suns and this is going to the Hornets [Music] liam McNeely okay that’s good value it’s good pick good pickup yeah yeah okay one more to go hold on that is pretty damn low liam McNeely from Yukon all right i think people worried about his athleticism and like he didn’t shoot the ball great i think those are some things people but you know if he puts it together he could be a he’s I think he’s a better shooter than the split show yukon also wasn’t as good as they were the last few years obviously they didn’t have the it was a different team than they had the for their national championship teams right all right William McNeely headed to the uh Charlotte is it this is the Mark Williams trade yep yep not going to lie when CP was saying William McNeely he’s from I was I thought he was going to say Dublin i was like the McNeel mcneely that’s tough you’re the last one in the in the green room that’s tough i would have been out of there like yo call me let me send mail me my hat i can’t be the last one in the group you want Yo the kids been there what time they got there they probably got the thing started at 8 they probably got there like six my man’s been there for damn near five and a half hours last one in the green room nah you’re gonna have to mail me my hat brother yeah forget that say “I’m going home.” I’m going home go to Junior’s or something across the street go get a cheesecake yeah mont Verde okay yeah he played with Cooper okay all right alver Verde got a That’s a That’s a powerhouse right there montverie Academy draft picks asa Newuel Derek Queen William McNeel there we go all right oh yeah queen was on that team yeah final pick going to the clip show okay i thought the final pick goes to the champ how How did the Clippers get this one there’s like a trade and a trade in a trade yeah yeah it says it’s from OKC so it looks like it’s OKC traded this to the Clippers i’m bugging it’s 32 teams in the league anyway but the last pick goes to Boston no there’s 30 30 oh they’re just showing just the Yeah okay got you the excitement i’m bugging nfl is 32 i always forget hype those Minnesota fans up yeah first tomorrow you’re on the clock all right Clippers and see this is like fantasy draft like you should know by now man come on with your ballroom you should know by now we know you’re selecting the kicker all right yeah pushing you should absolutely have been ready for this moment ryan [ __ ] better all I could think of now is just the CP let’s go in the chat when it’s just come for the fantasy draft yeah let’s go that face jesus real winner tonight Miss Harper i heard Miss Harper was uh was turning heads out there mine loves Harper love Miss Harper miss Harper was setting up Harper oh bad oh look at Han Solo han Solo said there never not working boy he’s always working he got to get up at 5 a.m to do radio he doing radio with PJ Carisso right now wow solo’s all over the place all right he does the afternoon drive with Rosenberg and uh Yeah yo Solo Solo grinds daily he grinds daily bro does that man ever sleep is the bigger question nah Solo Solo grinds daily i said Harper’s mom’s Philipp from the Philippines okay okay she did she did have that look to her shout out to everybody from the PI all right all right clippers come on man let’s get to it got to be Maxine Ronard or Rashir Fleming here they were probably asleep man they probably forgot they had a pick how do we get this thing again uh they just they still get can’t get over that they trade Shay and now he’s That is the biggest fumble of all time the biggest listen I know we get on Doc a lot but even he was like I didn’t want to trade him but they had to like you want to get Kawawaii there you had to make the move yeah but hindsight right mhm all right showing uh mother what are we doing y’all daming each other’s eyes get to the pick we are minutes past the half hour mark get to the pick man man pick has been in for like three minutes too exactly realistically they could have done this in two hours especially with just one round facts they really trying to get y’all to midnight two and a half hours as you said Chris for one that’s it right two and a half was going to be Jeez man yeah I felt like there wasn’t wasn’t it wasn’t the two round uh draft around this time this it finished much it’s crazy how did they milk this like this we’re watching it talking about absolutely nothing right now how and I swear the draft used to start at seven too maybe when it was two rounds maybe it is seven yeah yeah that’s probably what it was but still if you think about like hey they fit so you’re telling me with one more hour that they’re able to squeeze two rounds in unreal it didn’t seem It didn’t seem like you know they was going heavy on the commercials but yeah like I felt the two rounds they could do with the three hours that new TV deal man they had to pay these guys all right here we go another guy in the in the uh in the stands yanni though Conan Netherhauser fellas chris any intel on him he’s like one of these you know these these new age bigs rim running bigs long 7 foot you know block shots okay stuff around the rim you know he’s that type of big you know stretch he’s another one combine definitely uh helped him a lot raise raise the stock yeah yeah he was kind of unknown a little bit and then combine helped him out look like you are 72 73 bro is he a stretch big Chris uh he ain’t got shot that’s a no he’s more of just everything yeah he’s more of just everything around the rim got it all right so there’s Yanik man all right well this draft has been a doozy uh let’s return back here tomorrow same time same place see what the New York Knickers do but that’s that man any Oh don’t you worry yeah don’t you worry you know how Leon Rose likes to do things and we are trading trading trading right out y 2028 man so hey uh Kobe Bray is still there there was another person here um that we talked about on this show yesterday when uh when Corey was here and um and before we go Chris like to get your thoughts on him ian Begley also adding this is um Jamir Watkins out of Florida State yeah no he’s interesting
