With the 3rd Pick in the 2025 NBA Draft the Philadelphia 76ers Select XXX? 1st Round Live Reactions

camera time dj what’s up fam hit that like hit that subscribe come talk some NBA draft with us i mean how silly is that man we’re talking about practice the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions eagles fans everywhere this is for you let the celebration begin as a great rep Mel Ree just said let the celebration begin nba draft here first round on the clock on the I got an echo i got an echo we do got an echo got an echo it’s the It’s the same culprit as it always is mr no Heaton that’s Mr no Eaton luke Brown i’m Greg Malakvvic joining you here to kick off our NBA draft coverage here on ATD Wednesday nights we are brought to you by our doc yours Dr paul Videll specialized physical therapy you can find them right there on the web specialized physical therapy.com tell them the boys from ATD radio sent you he’ll take care of you well boys we’re here the NBA draft is here felt like felt like Tyrese Hallebertton just just ruptured his ACL or his Achilles and now we’re here with the NBA draft only in the NBA does that happen within the same week right i mean the NHL is not too far behind but the NBA just loves to be the center of attention loves to think that everyone wants to talk about them and here we are right we’re talking about them uh later in the show we’ll uh we’ll answer a poll question uh there’s no sense of having a poll question to start the draft so we’ll end the show with our poll question we’ll mix it around a little bit dallas is officially on the clock with the number one pick obviously everyone knows it is going to be Cooper flag uh but they are on the clock sixers are picking three where everybody says the draft is is going to begin there right the intrigue around what the Sixers do is is is where the draft begins and I think the Sixers Luke and Noah I think the Sixers are in an interesting spot here with what’s happened in the last week right tyrese Hallebertton blows out his Achilles that’s now two superstars stars superstars whatever you want to call them between him and Jason Tatum that are going to be out for all of next year right the Sixers as we kind of have talked about over the last month or so are are in an interesting scenario where they can they can draft for now and also the future at the same time right the Sixers if healthy is not crazy to think that they could contend for an Eastern Conference title next year because of what’s happened over the last week luke Noah what do you guys say i mean I agree i Ace Bailey definitely screwed us over a bit um and I I I we won’t really get into it because it seems like we’re probably not going to pick him so why talk about a guy we’re not going to pick i just you hate to see what happened the way it happened i mean if we pick him we’ll obviously talk about it but I just I don’t know i think he screwed us because originally he was a threat to go at three so now when you look at it really there’s no threat for anyone to go trade up to get Ace with us because he said out loud they don’t he doesn’t want to be traded here he doesn’t want to be traded or picked here he doesn’t want to be picked in Utah and he doesn’t want to be picked in Charlotte so those are the two picks after you so really no one’s going to be calling for H Bailey at three anyway so he just completely screwed us even if we weren’t going to pick him he screwed our leverage entirely too uh for a tradeown spot so I don’t know i I think we’re I think we’re pretty much headed in a one direction right now whether for right or for wrong I feel like it’s just going to be VJ um so we’ll talk about it if and when that happens but it seems like going into the night that’s the most likely scenario vj Edgecom no what are your thoughts before we get before we get up on the clock well the Sixers are in a very interesting I mean look at it heading into the season i mean they were predict more or less they were predicted to be an Eastern Conference contender right at least be in the mix well that couldn’t have gone any more sideways you know losing 58 games having you know Paul George and Embiid for the most part missed most of the season all right and so injuries were a big problem and really if you’re the Sixers front office yes you have those injuries you alluded to to uh Hallebertton and uh I’m sorry Tatum yeah James Tatum yeah all right but that doesn’t I mean that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Sixers could be an immediate contender again next year and just you know pull a pull a 180 here and turn it right around i I don’t see this team going from 58 losses and immediately having a chance to win 50 55 60 games and be a contender in the East i just think there’s so many problems with this roster right now the biggest problem is health well right if they’re healthy with this Eastern Conference they’re a top three seed with these two but they’re not going to be healthy they’re not going to be healthy can you really count on Embiid to be healthy no I can’t i don’t think anybody here we’re in a dream scenario here we’re draft day right everything can train change where’s our Sunny is is Daryl Morgan be Sunonny Weaver Jr i mean I think what Chuck said is kind of what I I kind of agree in that you wouldn’t be mad at VJ at three but you’re not super excited about it vj we can wait to talk about him until we pick him if we do pick him but to me like he’s he is a tremendous role player tremendous role player which in fact we really do need i am like very open and honest about that we really need gritty role players around here i just question the value of picking that kind of guy at three that’s where I draw back a bit but he’s going to be a great role player and we talk about parody in the NBA like seven different champions in seven years the only three guys since 2020 to have multiple championships the only three guys in the entire league to have multiple championships since 2020 alex Caruso KCP and Drew Holiday so you’re talking about like that’s what wins now but I don’t think that Yeah so I don’t think that we’re ever going to say like “Oh my god VJ Edgecom just won us that playoff series.” I don’t think we’re ever going to say that but we are a team with a desperate desperate desperate need of a player like VJ Edgum so you can’t hate the pick i just don’t know if he’s going to be a star i don’t feel fully confident in that well I like I People compare him to Alex Caruso and then they hate on him i’m a one thing scares me with VJ is that we as fans go into this and compare him to someone like Alex Caruso and then with the third pick by picking him we automatically expect him to be someone like an all-star level player and that’s just not going to happen like we need to go into this if it is VJ Edgecom to say all right it’s VJ Edgecom we got a tremendous role player who has the ability to be that level player like an Alex Caruso like a Drew Holiday like one of like a you know those guys I was just saying KCP that level talent and if we go into them with that expectation I think we’ll be happy but I I’m scared for the fan base cuz they’re going to see okay DJ at three he’s not a star oh my god what a bust he is and that’s why I don’t love the pick at three but let’s adjust our expectation i mean for me I want Trey Johnson but me too but I again like he he would be a great trade down guy he would And now now it makes a lot of sense to trade down because guys like Fears are jumping up boards so I feel like Fears might go in the top five or six so if Fiers goes in the top five or six and Khan seemingly is going to go in the top five at that point to trade down I feel pretty comfortable that a guy like Trey is going to be there at seven i feel very comfortable he would be there at seven but I don’t think you could trade down because I don’t think anyone’s willing enough to trade all the way up to three because they know that they don’t have to yeah and unless you push the envelope right unless you think that truly Ace is the most talented prospect and you just can’t let him go because I I I agree with you because I I’ve been there too right the Aces in theory the pick at three vj Trey Khan whoever else you look at the value there at three just isn’t there right or just you wouldn’t you wouldn’t hate it but you’re also like we might have reached right we might have reached there and not that they won’t be competitive not that they won’t be uh you know uh ro you know have a role on this team but that spot at three just seems too high for for anybody outside of Ace right so maybe they call everyone’s bluff right maybe they just think “All right this guy this dude just got a hack agent he’s just playing games but he is truly the most talented and we just can’t let this talent go.” It’s going to be interesting right hey we got or or the other aspect of it the other aspect of it is like hey we’ll pick him but we’re going to you’re calling our bluff all right we’ll pick him now we’re open to business let’s call let’s make a trade that to me would be a very Daryl my like move yeah to be like I like VJ Edgecom a lot as a prospect i’m not feeling like I’m getting the most out of this asset with the third pick let me pick Ace Bailey i know that there’s a ton of teams that have talked to him and a ton of teams that like him so now let me get on the phone after we have him now officially and let’s talk i think that is I don’t think it’s likely at all but it would be a very Daryl my like move to just throw his nuts on the table and just say “All right you don’t think I’m going to pick him i’m going to pick him.” Yeah I mean I think it is likely right because we’ve seen that’s how the NBA works right especially when you’re talking about the Sixers are going to save their ass right daryl Moore is going to make sure and protect his ass by taking the best player and then if that ends up if Trey Johnson Ace or VJ or Khan get to Washington now we’re like “All right let’s do something here let’s make us both happy and we don’t have to necessarily reach per se for one of those other guys that we really like as well.” And and you guys still get Ace yeah but my thing with Ace and I’m I thought I’d have to defend myself by saying this doesn’t seem like it based off the chat i think the highest star like if you’re talking highest ceiling or whatever I think it’s Trey Johnson i really really do if you’re talking about like taking a swing and whatever that might be I get it the fit’s not great shooter in the draft the fit is not great and that’s what everyone will come up with as like you know the the fight against picking Trey Johnson i understand that but let’s be honest past two you can come up with a negative with every single prospect there is so I really really like the idea of going up getting a guy who to me has the highest upside because guess what people talk about how good of an onball player Ace Bailey is you know who’s a better onball player than him trey Johnson he proved it at against higher level of competition and he was more successful and he put that team on his back there was not a single pro player that he played with that entire time we’re probably going to see Dylan Harper go right here anybody that would be nuts no no no dylan too all right real quick shout out to John Malos man get better soon man yeah Johnny yeah I’m gl I’m glad things are starting to look up for you but uh get better we wish you a full recovery man yep well look what’s obviously our top two here Luke this is your top 10 going into tonight our top two are gone right now here we go sixers are on the clock and the number three right i feel like the way that this is the way that this is listed out I think Trey has maybe not the highest a higher ceiling than Ace just because Ace is more size but Trey’s going into the league with a lot more proven talent so I trust in his ceiling a lot more than I trust in Ace’s ceiling and I think Trey’s ceiling is extremely high so I really like Trey i think VJ again is like a great role player and you can [ __ ] on Alex Guso all you want and guys like Drew Holiday and guys like KCP they’re the only guys in the league again with two or more rings since 2020 and I get it they might not be the reason that they won a championship but they don’t win a championship without those guys so if it’s VJ Edgecom we’ve been clamoring for athletes and guys who can run up and down the floor and lock up defensively so it’s kind of feels wrong to [ __ ] on a pick that gives us that but are you really making the most out of having the third pick in the draft yeah and we’ll find out here right four and a half minutes ago dylan Harper was obviously a dream scenario that would have been really nice uh yeah I mean it we we’ve talked about it right what’s that fit with the Spurs obviously the Spurs are going to make it work uh but what’s that fit what’s that fit look like uh right and that no pop this year too right like no more pop right so how much do the Spurs have in their new coaching staff too to make this you went there too with a whole bunch of of guys that kind of like with the Sixers in that same position if you end up going and drafting VJ right you go draft VJ you have a bunch of guys that are all in that same size that same type of style of play uh so it’ll be interesting to see what the Spurs do what’s up Don don checking in from Detroit i guess it’s weird not seeing his Pistons picking in the top five i think a lot of times people also talk about fit when I just don’t think you’re watching I just don’t think you’re watching basketball and then people like we need a power forward or we need a small forward i just proved to you just proved to me that you just didn’t watch basketball the entire playoffs there’s not a power forward or small forward out there now that doesn’t mean that the power forward’s dead it just means that you don’t need a certain position right you just play to your strengths i don’t feel like anyone’s drafting for need anymore now anyway it’s positionless basketball so no one’s sitting up here and being like “Oh we need a power forward.” That’s not why you would pick Ace Bailey let’s be completely honest and so if it’s Trey right Don all right yeah Daddy yeah there we go what’s up Ry what’s good i had to run my ass out of work and hop in the shower real fast but I made it there’s two minutes to spare here wait there’s showers showers are are required i needed a shower man i don’t know about you it’s [ __ ] hot outside it is hot i’ve been inside all day so no I don’t need a shower i’m sweating my ass off at work dude it’s like 90 degrees in my building it’s wild oh yeah yeah absolutely here we go two minutes two minutes left yeah Johnny we’re thinking about you brother trade down to seven with New Orleans get their pick at 23 i don’t know who to take at seven but Will will Riley 23 7 foot center for PSU you’re talking loose le I like that a lot i think he’s low floor high or low floor low ceiling or sorry high floor low ceiling i I wanted to we were going through our our opening but I wanted to get this comment from Nick says “Sixers will suck no matter who they draft.” In other news though Cooper Flag’s parents live around the corner from me that’s awesome Nick uh Eddie chimed in earlier what’s up Eddie chucks was in here po’s in here obviously we see Johnny Malmos john I would love for them to find a way to get out of Paul George but I’m not attaching three to it unless I’m getting a top five one back right and that’s not happening pov likes Trey as well david Navo over there on on X says anybody but Ace i agree with that all in on anybody but ace uh Mike Collins trey Johnson’s the best pure shooter we need that we do i don’t know man i would just be shocked if it’s anything other than BJ right now and B just signed an extension does that Did that really happen last summer well yeah okay yeah wow here we go i’m like another one what are we doing lifetime contract holy smokes lifetime contract he’s got the LeBron contract he own the fact that we’re going under 30 seconds on the clock i feel something’s going on it’s in what’s up Billy is in Boston’s on a selling spree who goes next derek White or or Jaylen Brown derek White maybe you guys have said I wanted Harper but think VJ could be a good fit yeah I don’t that’s the I don’t know the fit but he’ll play best fits Khan right now i would love that the pick is in boys i like the way he’s dressed i’ll say that who ace vj oh sorry i’m I’m all Ace Ace baby up here i don’t I’m not saying we keep it right i’m just saying I think that’s who we’re I think that’s the name we’re gonna [ __ ] this up again we are cuz how do you not know absolutely screw it up absolutely gonna screw it up for sure how do you not know did you see a bus with VJ mike I’m not going to say bus but I don’t see star right like yeah but like I don’t see Bucks though cuz I I think he’s I think defensively alone saves him from being a bust but to your point top three top five uh Jay every Monday night every Monday night there’s Eagles talk there’s not much to talk about right now damn it you guys see it damn it vj well it’s VJ all right we expected that we expected it i don’t say damn it because I don’t like VJ right i don’t like what he I don’t dislike what he brings i just don’t think what he brings is valuable at three right again we talked about this he’s not a star he’s not He’s not a star and again I don’t think I don’t think we’re ever going to especially in the next two years walk away from a playoff series and say “Wow VJ Ecom just won us that playoff series.” But going back to what I said those kind of guys are have a lot to do with winning now and there’s no parody in the NBA and you need these kind of glue guys i would have liked to go a different direction but I think that this is a guy if us as a fan base allows him to be the player that he is i think he’s a guy that could be a role player here for a damn long time and he does a lot of things here that we ask all our kinds of athletes to do just give a damn about winning i have no if ends or buts about him with that like he’s going to give a damn for sure and I think and and that’s where that’s where I’ll draw the line with all these Ace Bailey people if you if after all of this crap if you still want Ace Bailey here you are just not a Philadelphia fan or so we claim ourselves to be these like people that just love guys who will do whatever it takes to win day in day out i feel like this is that kind of guy is he a star probably not but that’s valuable today that wins today it helped star players win today yeah I mean we don’t necessarily need him to be a star right what we need is players that are on the roster to be healthy and then he helps facilitate what we have right now obviously yeah that’s the biggest thing is we certainly don’t have that with Embiid don’t have that with Paul George and unfortunately this year for Tyrese Maxi he had a tough time staying healthy as well so I think some on Twitter right now they’re reporting that there’s not planning to be a trade they’re sticking with him okay yeah very on brand for the Sixers to draft the developing shooter yeah those are I’m I’m really nervous for this guy right now though i am yeah because I think the fan base is just going to automatically like oh third pick in the draft he’s going to be rookie of the year stuff like I don’t think he’ll ever be all NBA i think he’s going to be defensive like all defensive first team i think he’s a tremendous tremendous role player but let’s not run him out of the city because he’s not averaging 20 points a game like can we please as can we all agree to do that that’s my like number one we’re It’s Philadelphia Luke we can’t agree to do anything i know but like can we like Billy I mean good two-way player means you have to be decent two ways i mean know again we just drafted him don’t want to [ __ ] on him too much but dude can’t shoot right now where at least he struggled in a in a one-on-one workout right so but the motor’s there the intensity is there the defensive ability is there he’s obviously he’s obviously not starting right he’s not going to start no he won’t start he shouldn’t start to your point Luke I don’t know i think he him i think he might start start over McCain i don’t think he’s going to start day one he’s not going to start there’s almost no chance of him starting day one i think he could start as we get deeper into the season and people bring up uh Quinton Grimes i love love what Quinton Grimes did at the end of last year i think they’re really paying him to be like “All right we’ll pay you and we can’t wait to use that contract to trade you.” So that’s what I think they’re doing in the long run yeah I think that’s what they’re doing in the long run um I don’t know i would have gone another direction it’s hard for me to say hate the pick it’s really hard expected right Tommy it’s expected i’m not saying I’m thrilled uh but all right I’ll I’ll go on a limb though i’m I’m going to reach because this is how much I hate the way he handled his draft process i truly believe that Ace Bailey screwed any chance we had at trading down because he not only did he say “We don’t want to trade with you.” He said “I don’t want to be drafted by you i don’t want to be drafted by Charlotte which is the pick after you and I don’t want to be drafted by Utah which is the pick after them at five so what there’s no reason for any team to there’s no incentive for any team to trade all the way up to three so really all along it was like okay we have to pick VJ Edge so we’ll never know what they wanted to do but I truly believe in my heart of hearts knowing Daryl my he uses assets as like assets and how active he is in the trade market I truly believe that Ace Bailey screwed us with any chance we had at trading down no I agree with you there yeah for sure also like Washington’s at six who in their right mind wants to go play in Washington nobody ace Bailey right why why why why would you want to go play Washington when was the last time Washington was He doesn’t want any pressure that’s why I went to Ruckers he’s gonna have pressure i mean and I’m a guy that wanted these right i’m a guy that wanted these so and I’m sitting here throwing out red flag after red flag after red flag he’s Brandon Ingram like he he is so scared of taking three-pointers that he said “Okay what’s the I will sacrifice $15 million so that I am on a team where I know I can take mid-range jump shots.” That’s how afraid he is of shooting a three-pointer so I ask you in the next two years is that guy going to be able to develop on our team no he knew he wasn’t going to he knew it so that he he went on his knees and begged and pleaded to for us not to pick him like I just don’t understand why how you could still want the guy not saying you should want VJ but how are you going to clamor for for ace right now he’s so scared of taking three-pointers that he’s wants to go to the only three teams where he can do that on and like Brandon Ingram is a great like a good talented player but at the end of the day like who’s helping the Sixers right now a guy like Outs Caruso or Brandon Ingram brandon Ingram is a negative on our team right now current Brandon Ingram would be young Brandon Ingram would be far as Ace Bailey goes i I don’t know i don’t have a lot of confidence that he’s gonna have much of an NBA career at all i I I don’t know he He just seems Yeah eddie I I like seems he’s more interested in being a celebrity than We went through that with Ben Simmons too right exactly ben was more worried about the Kardashians than actually playing basketball yeah look so like I’m not unhappy with the pick right like again VJ’s He’s a good player right he’s you know he was the pick here because obviously you weren’t gonna take Ace but it’s just it’s just boring right and I feel like the third pick in a draft shouldn’t be boring i don’t know that’s just me i’m with you my guy just went right now i wanted Khan and Khan just went four to Charlotte khan just went to Charlotte wow we’ll see if Danny A can pull it off i I don’t know the fact that maybe the two best scorers in the draft are not going to be picked in the top five is wild so let’s go ahead and bring back up bring back up your top your top 10 now obviously one two and six yeah we’re skipping over skipping over three and four three and four on Luke’s big board once we get once we get a little further we’ll throw up his first round first round rankings what’s up Chris uh Sixers took VJ Edgecomb chris I don’t like this view though because I when I pull up a comment we lose Ryan’s face hey man i like I like the tenacity that BJ brings and the scrainess but yeah that’s think we may have reached a little bit there if we were going to reach for somebody I would have liked Khan if he just shoots the lights out obviously Trey Johnson done as well that that’s that’s where I’m at right Ry like if you’re going to reach go reach for the guy that puts the ball in the bucket either two of them either one of the two either of them i would have been much happier if we would have taken Trey Johnson or Connell watch out yep but to reach for no offense but the dime a dozen type of guy it seems very antilimatic right yeah again it’s like you know obviously the comps are he could be Victor Olado which again really really good player had a you know couple years there before he ended up getting hurt but then he kind of just he got hurt and he was done but again like he very athletic you know guy who could I could see VJ you know jumping out of the gym and they’ll put up some poster dunks and like he does stuff like that but he’s not going to go out there and shoot you know five of six from three off the dimes from Tyrese right he’s not really gonna free up the middle of the floor for you know Joel it’s you know like it’s okay it’s all right we need more guy we need more fans like Pat we need more fans like Pat who just clans up there look at that what’s the hair of the dude in the in the maroon oh my lord yeah again like again I like the way you’re thinking Pat i like the way you’re thinking get a guy that doesn’t have a big EVO and just happen to be here and then he follows that up with we don’t need another personality like that i don’t want him crying because he wants 20 shot shots a night let him walk who’s that it’s probably He’s probably talking about Ace Bailey and like he’s right why we all the time the the biggest gripe the entire Sixers organization gets is like why should we care if they don’t care and then there is a guy who’s 18 years old who hasn’t proven [ __ ] to anybody who’s saying I don’t want to be on your team and everyone wants him how does that make like what are we doing what are we doing what are we doing i’m not even talking about him as a player forget all that forget all that but like what are we doing i can appreciate I’m not saying I would have done what they did tonight but I can appreciate bringing in a guy with an extremely high work ethic who albeit like he it’s not like he just arrived on the scene he was a number five recruit and when if you watch his Bahamas tape and not the stuff that he did in Balor you’re going to be a lot more intrigued because there’s a little bit more spacing there and he did a lot more he did a lot more off the dribble in the FIA stuff more so than in college so that makes you a little bit more excited about that but on a team with your future being the Kane and Maxi people are like “Oh he’s not going to score 20 a night how much are there more than one basketball on the court now what are we doing how who how many guys can you possibly have on the court that are going to score 20 or more a night?” George Maxi McCain and Daryl’s done nothing but draft well Daryl’s done nothing but draft well nothing but draft well no absolutely yeah I’m going to trust Daryl and you know like we said this dude’s just going to work hard i’m I’m totally down for that right we you know I’m more of a baseball guy than a basketball guy and the reason like I you know I Chasey growing up just because how you know he ran through a brick wall and he played the game that way right there’s a reason I love TJ McConnell when he was here right he’s just diving on the floor going after loose balls and everything like that so if he’s going to keep doing that and just running up and down the floor every night not you know not giving a half ass effort I’m in nothing wrong with that at all donniey’s got a lot and they all start they’re all names all start with the letter K so there you go Donnie uh Pat chimes in him wanting to play with Brooklyn or Washington tells me he wants to be he wants to be the guy already selfish traits and he’s not even number one pick yeah Paul George kind of touched on that a little bit too right recently this week when all this noise came out you know kind of like who do you think you are that you’re calling shots we have Paul George calling someone out and we want that guy or like I just we need our heads examined we really do and no one’s even talking about the basketball court we’re fans of course we need our head examined yeah like what are we doing it takes a certain level of loser to want to beg on their on their freaking knees to want to play for Washington and Brooklyn like it takes a certain kind of loser to want to do that billy Paul George for Jaylen Brown swap we’re in straight up straight up i mean I think to Paul George like everyone’s immediately wants to get rid of him i’ll just say I get where you’re coming from and it’s awful and I’d rather him not be on the team but his value can only go up because he played as few games as he possibly can and his contracts only getting smaller by the you know by the year um it really does you no good by trading him right now billy says no uh Don says free Lori that’d be nice happy nights yeah thank you Ace for screwing us out of getting uh you know five and Lori Markin in for three yeah i don’t understand why everyone wanted PG everyone wanted a contract year yeah i mean they do it yeah it happens John well that’s Daryl right daryl still believes i love it darren still believes in that three super and Danny age death taxes and Danny Age he loves doing this [ __ ] he loves doing this [ __ ] he Wow i could not be happier go to Utah and die over there i I hope he just sucks i hope he’s the worst player in the NBA that is awesome i hope he just rots in hell in Utah i feel like it they might be trading it though they’ve got to be to what they might be trading it or at least you just called their bluff right like this yeah this was the most likely trade down spot anyway was five that’s the best part Bill that’s the best part and like now we were talking about it this whole time about trading down to like six or seven mhm trey is probably going to be there because I feel like Washington might lean fears so Tommy that’s what we’re saying Tommy like if you’re going to reach per se like reach for a guy that can put the ball in the bucket like Trey or Khan who went right after us he says “I want Trey i’m good though but nobody from the Bahamas has ever been any good.” Not true doesn’t No where’s Where’s Cat play is Cat the Bahamas or is he good uh I don’t know first overall pick uh he was scared to be picked and shook his head when they called dominican i saw Dude I was going to point it out but I didn’t want to look too much into it he like pointed at somebody and looked like shocked like he he did not look happy at all wow shot is from John John from Donnie Boy yeah dominican yeah yep they just reported no trade they have no interest in rotten Utah ace wow utah is interesting he’s going to see prefer to go to see snow like he’s never seen before that that is a honestly that could not have worked out any better because now it’s like all right if he ended up being great in like the East and we had to lose to him every year that would suck phillies are now one nothing bottom two oh sick dude uh Buddy He was from Bahamas you saying Buddy’s good uh all white women f to turn them out buddy hell is a good shot is good shot well in the playoffs sucked for us right couldn’t play in the playoffs for us eight’s going to go live with the Mormons yeah the Mormon the Mormons wanted uh Mormons wanted Khan their pick got taken at four they definitely wanted Khan i didn’t hear Did anyone hear the uh the interview um didn’t really say anything i I kind of turned it up but he didn’t really say much no you’re I’m happy to be here whatever oklahoma buddy might have been good yeah wow i cannot believe that let’s go ahead and Washington take Trey here so best available according to our own should pick Trey is Trey Johnson followed by feeders Malik Queen and Murray Boils why do I feel like I don’t know who Murray Boils is like where do you Murray Boils is one of those guys where he just he went he committed to the wrong school he went to South Carolina but like if he played around he’s not an all-star in ter he’s just like an all-star level role player like he’s going to be a great defensive player has a ton of uh facilitating skills i like he just can’t shoot a lick like at all but he can do everything else at a high level so I feel like if you’re a team like Phoenix or uh I’m trying to think down there towards like 910 area I think that makes a lot more sense i like him a lot as a role player if he played around talent in the NBA he’d be seen or in college he’d be a higher draft pick minute left here for Washington a lot of trades going on drew Holidayiday traded porzingis trade it i know there’s another one that I missed out that I missed off the top of my head kevin Durant CJ McCullum trade it uh Kevin Durant kevin Durant that’s a big one d yeah yeah thank you thank you kevin Durant the best player got traded to Houston and and I know Luke was just talking about Phoenix right so Phoenix could be could be looking to use some of these picks to to to re restock not that they’re ever not that they’re gonna get Kevin Durant right but now they get to kind of reload around Devin Booker yeah I don’t know man the way that this board fell too with guys like Trey going 67 and ah it stings it stings i just feel like they didn’t get the most out of the asset but in Daryl’s case and I feel like when for context purposes we’re going to have to remember this when we look back there was really no spot for them to trade down because of what Ace did yes so I It’s hard it’s hard mhm and it’s not like BJ was going to be there at five either there was no way of that happening so I feel like we have to as fans hang our hat on Daryl really really likes somebody and he went out there and got him and the last few times he’s done that that has really worked out for us best best thing the Wizards could do Don best thing the Wizards could do is select Caitlyn Caitlyn Clark correct do it uh Edward says “I think VJ VJ already gonna be the best rebounder on the team.” Very uh Eddie we have uh one right now right one or two second round no I think we have one it’s 35 and I would probably I would expect them to keep it and just pick their I would love to trade back up but now that they just picked VJ at three I don’t see that happening yeah uh James is waiting for the NF NHL draft yeah we’ll be live for there too uh I don’t know if I’ll be on there but I know our hockey guys Daley Pove Maddie they’ll be on live for it uh for it on Friday how about that hockey flyers made a trade the other day apparently that guy’s sent to Trevor Zagris yeah apparently he’s good he is pretty good in the contract year too that’s the best thing right 24 years old in a contract year seeing if he can prove to stay healthy i like it apparently Apparently he did a Michigan one time where he like picked the puck up and like ducked around the side so that’s pretty cool i’ll see that he’s definitely got some silky mittens that’s for sure it’s a hockey term you know I know there’s a lot of basketball guys in here not necessarily you guys but in the chat i see you John i like it at 35 i think that’s probably where he’s slated to go around that spot like 30 he’s around like 30 to 40 range something like that so I feel like that’s a good spot but I don’t know if they would do that just because for right or wrong they really like a Dembono there’s Trey yep steal the draft at Washington in division in conference gonna light handing it to us for the Yeah oh god oh god uh Don Don says Bulls looking to trade Lonzo and Kobe White yeah Lonzo i think indirectly though what the VJ pick does is that it puts I I weirdly enough I think given the way that he plays I think out of the three Sorry sorry sorry yeah I know the outfit’s crazy the outfit’s crazy the outfit is crazy but uh I think that out of the three young guys that we have now in terms of first round talent with Maxi McCain and VJ I think VJ has the least amount of pressure on him and I think those other two guys what that pick just did it raises a ton of pressure they’re going to have to be on the ball dominant players for their entire careers it seems like at the moment yeah because VJ’s not really going to give you a ton of that and look V like I get it that Heath was just the third pick in the draft but I’ll keep saying it because I know it’s going to come when he’s not averaging 20 points a game because it’s just not going to happen let’s not expect that no one expect that please that’s not going to be the tell all if he’s a great NBA player if he’s first team all defense and averaging 12 points a night and great in transition I think that is a win yeah you could do worse right you could do worse and funny enough I think this is what’s funny about the whole thing alex Caruso a guy like that if you told these NBA GMs hey this guy’s gonna have a career uh trajectory of Alex Caruso he’s a top five pick because they are insanely valuable so yeah I think you’re right i think if you do like a reddraft of the Caruso draft he’s he’s a lot higher than he actually went yeah yeah lou Dorson is looking who Pat’s looking at well he’s not built like Lou Dort he’s not built like Lou Dort lou L Dort’s a linebacker yeah he didn’t win MVP either so he wasted a$1.990 of my of my money dollar 90 to win 500 i was worth it yeah I like it why not uh I think the cool part to sell to sell everybody on VJ is that I get it the most popular film out there he has right now is Baylor but if you look back all the way back in high school he has gotten so much better so recently so it kind of makes you think that his ceiling as a prospect even hasn’t even come close yet it’s like he can be way better he’s only gotten better and better and better and better every single year at every level he’s played at so while something might not be in his game right now for example like handling the ball I think there’s a lot of room for him to grow in that aspect and I think it could definitely happen and the shot too oh Marie marshy’s getting a start against a lefty uhoh wow couldn’t have what you had last night in the ninth inning though that was terrible what was terrible is we gave Ranger no support it was left 37 guys on base last year donuts donuts man that was ridiculous one nothing top three that feels like the first two innings have taken forever uh Santa Clara Jade Dub who’s that why am I not Why am I blanking on that yeah uh Jason Jason Williams was from Santa Clara oh Jason again like that’s another guy where if he was drafted with the third overall pick you would be having the exact same convers it’s hard to believe but I promise you you’d be having the same questions right now as you do VJ Edgecom right now because he was not seen as like this on ball presence i think he averaged like 10 points a game in college like nothing crazy at all the shot was not really there and he developed into a great player but VJ the fact that he can jump out the building is makes him a lot more promising than like an Alex Caruso and you could see a potential all-star level player there thanks Donnie thanks Chris for clarifying for you brother appreciate it uh Andy says “I feel sorry for any kid that gets drafted by them they are a garbage organization that lied to their fans their owner is a piece of [ __ ] and their coach reminds me of a dumb puppet so Andy’s excited andy loves the pick i mean I do agree Josh Harris is a is a piece of [ __ ] but nothing we can do about that nothing you can do about a rich guy owns the team who uh Trey or VJ yeah Trey steal the draft i mean six is crazy donnie says VJ Ceiling is Jimmy Butler or Olipo and he says he’s talking Indiana yeah it’s Indiana it’s that’s the perfect comp for him and it’s funny he brings up Jimmy Butler right because I’m not the biggest Jimmy guy right this is well documented not the biggest Jimmy Butler guy and my my response to like oh my god Jimmy Butler I’ve always said Jimmy Butler’s a dime a dozen type of player like you don’t have to draft them very high those guys tend to and you can find those guys kind of almost all the time they don’t always turn out to be Jimmy Butler right jimmy Butler is really good uh but when we got him and everybody’s love for him just because the way he played I was like “Yeah he’s just a diamond dot type of player right?” I mean let’s take it for what it is now like the most likely tradeup was probably New Orleans and at that point all of the six guys just got picked off the board that we would want so we would have won it in retrospect i don’t know i feel like we we might have done the right thing you said Yeah right so blowing up the board any Yeah so anyone anyone that we would have wanted would have already been off the board yeah yeah he’s got he’s definitely got some uh some jewelry on it’s all rented come on Donnie we know this it’s all rented for the night it’s all on loan hard knocks with the NFL tells you all that right or whatever behind Access show yeah those are all Those are all Reddit jewelries i do like that suit though that red suit it does pop the guy that if we want to talk like 35 um I mean there’s a few guys that NIL money is real yeah it’s definitely real because it’s not NIL it’s not about it it’s pay to play that’s what it is let’s call it what it is yeah nil is like what Libby Dawn and the Cavender Twins are doing that’s NIL that’s not paytoplay uh Billy says “Fears will eventually be a Kyrie 2.0 this kid can play.” I don’t know about that and he can’t shoot the ball yet so I don’t see Kyrie it does have handles though he can handle the rock i like him though i like him i I mean I had him at seven so I like him at seven speaking of seven I like Yeah top seven has has gone all of them gone for a second his top seven’s gone when now we get the Mik Queen and Murray Boils brooklyn’s in a very very weird spot now because no one fell and now you need a lot but you have Claxton who’s making the most money on your team and Malawatch is probably the best player available so what do you do i don’t know i would pick Malawatch and just hope I can trade Claxton but I don’t know and we do know there’s obviously moves being made right there’s there’s no there’s no shortage of trading going on nope so these guys are available what the heck is going on here the only two guys that have been reported as like definitely not being traded are like the two guys with the most speculation with VJN Ace and Ace i I It’s so funny that uh Danny H did that because like 10 years ago he did the same thing with Tatum Tatum no one remembers that Tatum didn’t want to play for Boston i did i don’t Yeah I don’t remember that that That was real yeah he did not want to play for Boston and if very similar to to Ace and they picked him anyway which a team like New Orleans makes a ton of more sense to make that risk than a team like us oh I’m sorry not New Orleans Utah what does Utah have to lose yeah they don’t have anything to lose it’s just really funny that 10 years later Danny A is still doing that in the top five of the draft oh you don’t want to play here too bad you’re playing here call your bluff again you know again all these picks are just still speculative you know you can say that all these guys aren’t on the clock you know next thing you know oh this fight is trade for this one yeah no that’s for sure donniey’s hoping for uh Danny Wolf that’s a kid from Michigan right not going to be there at 35 i would be floored if that I mean run the pick up to the board i’m wondering if he’s thinking for his Pistons that’s probably what he’s saying do they have their I don’t even know if they have their pick dude chris Glover says “I’m telling you no one know who JDub was five years ago.” No you’re right i didn’t know who he was now he He is exactly right he is exactly He averaged I think 10 points a game in college was seen as a guy who could not shoot the ball at all was a twostar recruit and VJ is kind of the opposite where he’s a late someone said “Yeah Chris he’s a late bloomer.” It’s a perfect way to say it he’s gotten better and better and better and better a lot later than other guys in this draft class sure yeah and you know one thing we’ve talked about over the over the you know draft talk that we’ve had uh and I know Tommy’s uh one of Tommy’s big thing too is he’s a worker right you talked about that Luke right he’s a worker he’s a grinder he’s you know as you and Chris are saying late bloomer so he’s going to continue to work right we saw what that’s done with with Maxi especially with this you know since Maxi’s coming to league we’ve seen what Rico Hines and and the development staff have had did with Jiren McCain this past year with Quinton Grimes once they got a hold of him right because Quinton Grimes was essentially a throwin for that deal he wasn’t supposed to be anything good and then he gets here with with you know our coaching staff and kind of blossoms and explodes with the minutes that that they had available for him so so yeah it’ll be interesting to see what what they are able to do with VJ uh you know when you think when you talk about it that way and you think about it in that sense you know it does seem like a little bit of a really good fit right you put a worker with this development staff uh and we see what we can do because we’ve seen good things come out of those guys that we’ve drafted like that in the past now Maxi and Jared obviously were a lot more offensively skilled uh but they’ve rounded th those guys out because what we talked about a couple weeks ago Luke right like Jared McCain wasn’t necessarily supposed to be a ball handler right he wasn’t Dude Jeremy and I also I’m h I’m happy Don brought that up too because I remember a year ago when we were on this we were on stream again and everyone hated the pick everyone hated it so like and you could call me a liar i’m telling you that that’s exactly what happened i defended it the entire time so I don’t know i feel like again like Daryl likes to pick guys who have a particular skill set and like you could bank on that and I think McCain it was a shooting ability and he grew into a tremendous onball player and this pick with VJ it’s his athletic ability if it’s his abil like if he the only question with him it’s obvious is the shot if the shot falls he could be a starter day one day one brooklyn’s got five yeah they got five uh Donny’s looking at 37 but he’s trading up interesting it was tick tocks for uh Boston this dude can flat out shoot though eigor Demon holy wow yeah I’m I’m not going to lie i thought we were going to be on here for a while and he’d be there at like 20 and I’d be like I love Eigore dude that is I I love Eigore but eight is crazy like I look I’m looking at mine like the big board I made right now I have him at 14 which is a lot higher than a lot of people if he figures out how to like consistently shoot the ball he could be one of the best players in the league because he is really tall can handle the ball better than almost anyone in the draft gets to his spot pretty well he’s huge for a point guard he’s giant he puts up threes though too which is the good like it’s not like he’s he’s Yeah i didn’t know it’s not that he won’t take them i didn’t know there was a BYU guy in the draft i I lied this is who Utah players actually wanted they wanted I mean dude I’ll be honest like if he fills up to his ceiling he would be a perfect player to play next to Maxi and just because he’s 69 and can handle demands a trade in two years because the Brooklyn Nets are awful and he comes here sounds good donnie likes to pick yep i’d trade PG to clown for a bag of rocks i mean I think we all would but it’s not happening so you call him a clown all you want you know but it is what it is podcasting is more important than I’m so confused are you Are you in the Tom Arnold seat i am in the seat took me a minute to figure it out too buckets is it warm no it’s cold why is it cold in the basement i’ve never joined from my phone before but I had to hop on what are your thoughts VJ go ahead give it to us yeah listen I don’t like what he’s saying no listen he just started off good he just started off good i know i feel bad because I did not think he was gonna say that no I I think I think it’s dead Donnie i think it’s dead i haven’t seen the grasshopper i think Ace Bailey is a loser and I’m very glad we didn’t get him he wants to max contract he wants to play a bunch of minutes just so he gets his money and runs so that’s why he wanted to go to a stiff and that’s why he didn’t want to be with the Sixers cuz he would have played 18 minutes a game and you wouldn’t have got a max here um I just think he’s a loser so I’m glad we didn’t take Ace Bailey that’s really what I was hoping for would not take him um it just sucks because looking at the draft board like Harper and Cooper Flag are just two generational talents and then everybody after that just like yeah like Edgecom nice little player like I’m happy we got him but it’s just like it just sucks you’re right there like we could have had we’re just being greedy we could we might have not had to pick at all so I’m glad we got somebody but just being greedy looking at the board where it says flag Harper Edgecomb it’s like damn Sixers just get bent over again but I like it i like that we didn’t take Ace Bailey that was my main takeaway i did not I think he’s a loser so yeah he’s just like Ben Simmons 2.0 more interested in uh more interested in being a celebrity exactly and Buckets if I’m going to promise you one thing it’s what I just said vj Edgecom is going to give a damn he’s going to give a [ __ ] about winning he’s going to give a [ __ ] about getting better and honestly above all else I’m cool with that i can live with doing that yeah 100% i saw Buddy Heield was with him to greet him that was pretty cool because they’re both from the Bahamas the Bahamas and like again like I think it’s lazy for all these people who like watch his Baylor stuff and just create an opinion you are going to be way more intrigued by VJ Edgum if you watch the Bahamas stuff cuz it’s a lot more spacing he’s playing with NBA players and the handle looks way better and he honestly looked it shocked me watching it he looked like a pretty capable facilitator too like way better than he did in Baylor so if you just And here’s the other thing in Baylor he played with nobody nobody there was not a single NBA player on that team in the second best conference in the sport and somehow made the tournament and I’m just saying like he he’s a gritty guy he does all the things that you want to do in winning basketball and for all the reasons we hate the Sixers you’re gonna love this guy because he’s gonna give a [ __ ] he’s gonna die for the loose balls and he’s eight he’s 19 years old only going to get better so I feel like to hang your hat on something it’s that he’s going to give a [ __ ] and I think now you have a core group of three guys who are all like 23 and younger who all really give a [ __ ] yeah i actually just when I got home from work I got in that little debate with my dad before I hopped on here he was like “I like the pick.” He’s like “I don’t like the fit.” And I’m like “Dude you’re not drafting around like this team in particular it’s more for like McCain and Maxi.” Like you get insurance now for McCain like Maxi will be here but you get insurance now for McCain if McCain doesn’t pan out to be like McCain was awesome but he only played like what 23 games and he’s coming off an injury so you’re hoping he’s still good and he probably still will be but god forbid now you have insurance and also for this year now you have a guy off the bench that gives a [ __ ] and he’ll play like quality minutes so I actually I don’t mind it um I’m just glad like I said we didn’t get Ace because that’s a guy who doesn’t give a [ __ ] that’s Ben Simmons 2.0 that is that would be the most 76ers thing to do ever it’s again I was talking about it with Noah before we went on i was talking about it with Noah before we went on if this was 2013 or 2014 or 2015 where it’s like God we haven’t seen someone with talent in so long it’d be a lot different like I’d feel a lot different about it be like “All right let’s just get this guy in here and hope it works out.” We have seen so many talented guys here who just don’t give a [ __ ] and it never works and a guy is blatantly telling you that he doesn’t want to be here good we don’t on him i’m good like have a nice career in Utah throwing up this is not 10 years ago honestly though honestly though but thank you like because not a lot of people have the balls to do that like thank you for telling us cuz if you don’t want to play here like you you will get chewed out like people they don’t mess around like if you don’t want to be here like that you will get ate alive like cuz we don’t want you here either so I’m just glad that we didn’t draft him we have a guy who’s here that doesn’t want to be here and then we got to boo the hell out of him and it’s another bus like thanks for at least letting us know i’ll give him that like listen if you want to be a loser and go make your max contract fine and I’m calling him a loser if I was in his if I was in his situation and I could go make $300 million play for the Wizards I’d probably do it too but like yeah I mean he just doesn’t want to win basketball was not first money was first and if he doesn’t want to be here so be it but thanks for letting us know cuz that could have been a disaster yeah but like Luke said earlier though that ruined all of our all of our uh trade tradability with that pick yeah he he totally [ __ ] us over because again like Yeah the incentive to trade up there’s no incentive to trade all the way up to three now because everyone knew that not only we weren’t going to take him but Charlotte wasn’t going to pick him and then Danny A is like screw screw you i’m picking you anyway like yeah he loves doing that he does that all the time kyle Murray yeah ah [ __ ] dude he stays in the East i’m telling you this guy’s Draymond Green dude can we also talk about He can’t shoot a lick but he could do everything else can we talk about how awful this coverage is like this McNut girl is awful i like the I like Jay Bis or whatever jis she can do no wrong but except Kendrick Perkins is awful oh he’s Well if they just move the draft anywhere other than ESPN the coverage would be great like why does TNT not do this or I guess TNT is not there anymore dead yeah but the TNT crew like the crew like it should be Ernie Shaq Chuck this thing the rings i would sit through this round two i wouldn’t even care like half the players don’t even know and I would sit through it if it was those four i usually watch like in the NFL draft i watch NFL Network right i don’t watch I don’t watch these but that’s one thing I said too right thank God we’re live so we don’t have to listen to this to these schmucks talking he did well off the court too hello look at that GPA wow well done a GPA this guy dude he’s got the brains i’m telling you I just said he’s one of the smartest players in the draft i know i was messing with it i mean I was saying on on the court but I’ll take it he said Don Don said “Who’s ready for MJ on NBC next year?” Yeah that’s going to be that’s going to be cool i’m excited for that phil is asking over or under 20 games for Embiid this year over all right but here’s the thing if it’s under if it’s under we’re not going to win a championship or probably won’t even win a playoff series but I think with these three guys you could play a brand of basketball that is really fun to watch and you could stick your teeth into and be like “This is this has potential moving forward.” Proposed trade says uh Phoenix proposed trade i didn’t realize his girl was on South Carolina’s team too all right girls a hooper too all right keeping it in keeping it in the South Carolina family i mean that is a really that’s like a level player yeah he’s massive he could do everything but shoot no can’t shoot at all oh yeah yeah yeah yeah h Okay thanks Donnie he said this is the Kevin Durant that makes sense we might not Phil we might not it’s going to be fun though and entertaining all the way holy crap yeah see I wait while we’re while we’re here let’s talk about it because it’s on it’s on the television i feel like the Rockets got absolutely fleeced i don’t think Jay Green I disagree completely i don’t think you think you think the Suns got fleeced you said you mean No no the the Rockets forgetting Kevin Durant i think they I think the Suns got fleased because they could have gotten way more i’m not saying what they got wasn’t worth what they traded but they literally like as a fact could have gotten twice as much than they did if they just traded him at the deadline but they’re like “No we’re putting our foot down we don’t want to trade him now because we’re going to get more later.” And they didn’t so they got fleeced i mean I I think five second round picks could have been like instead of that do two first round picks but like I just they don’t have Oh no i’m sorry i’m sorry i get what you’re saying instead of instead of the Suns like I wasn’t even talking about the Suns side of it i think the Rockets got fleeced like I I they got Kevin the they they just were the second seed in the West they traded their best defender and Jaylen Green as as inconsistent as he was he’s young as hell yeah I’ll agree with you there they’re the second seed in the in the West and you you just traded two of your starters for a 37 year old like to me that didn’t make sense it like it made sense in my mind for like George like Paul George like if you’re trading an old man for an old man and it’s an expiring contract cool but you just were the second seed in the West and now you’re trading for an old man like you just traded two starters that I don’t know it didn’t resonate with me here’s your comparison uh Luke Draymond Green oh they said Draymond Green yeah they threw up a a graphic with him versus Draymond and their measurables when they came out of college tom’s got the best freaking stream in the world whatever you’re watching I’m like 10 years behind you don’t tell Tommy that because Tommy always thinks that he’s behind when we’re on Sunday nights he’s always behind sweeps a couple houses down the street brandon Brandon says Ben Simmons little cancer Markeel Folultz yips and glass shoulders Smith bump should have pursued Markeel Bridges well we had him we didn’t have to pursue him we got We had them we had him and decided to trade him his own mother his own mother was working with the Sixers for God’s sake they had a whole feel good story they had a whole feel good story after they got too and you’re wondering why I’m so damn quiet over here come on i mean I love the fact that uh the Suns can get Malaw watch here is a steal for them that would be crazy if they can get I’m actually shocked that Sorry what were you saying Greg no no I was just reading a comment go ahead finish your point no I was I’m just shocked that Walter Clayton Jr isn’t like as um like high tiered like like ranked he’s old though Mike i I was with you like coming out of the national championship run I thought he was jumping I thought he would have jumped up in the top 10 top 15 or what 10 right now uh but he’s 23 he’s old right no one in the NBA wants those guys yeah I guess you’re right i I But he just won a national champion it’s just weird it’s interesting yeah tony sorry i’m not even going to try and pronounce your last name he says in chef terms Bailey washed dishes for a year at a diner and now wants to get the highest paid line cook at a fancy restaurant gtfo yeah I hear you yeah he wants to go from from the Philly Diner all the way up to Fleming Steakhouse oh the Suns i love that that’s awesome the Suns just traded uh the number 29 pick and a 2029 first round pick for Mark Williams wait what yeah the Suns just got Mark Williams from the Hornets and they traded their 29th pick and a 2029 first round pick for Mark Williams don says Jay why are they giving up more pick what are they doing wait so wait this is how how do these GMs get paid all this money they go into the season we’re hiring a new GM and he goes in he’s like “Yeah our main focus is to build our future back and get more picks.” And they trade Kevin Durant for only second round picks and now they just traded more first round picks and here what the hell are they doing the Magic traded I mean I love this pick though this pick is great match the Magic traded more for Bane and Nicks traded more for Bridges than what they had to give up for Durant now granted there’s a there’s age difference right their the ages there yeah Timberwolves gave up like five picks for Go Bear too first pick it’s actually crazy i never understood the the Mark Williams hype either like I like he’s a nice He’s He’s any guy you’re trading two first round picks for Mark Williams he’s a productive NBA center like he’s good yeah i’m looking at him right now malawatch is a whole lot better than him too and they’re gonna get him too that’s crazy yeah it doesn’t make I mean unless they think there’s obviously development with with Malawatch but why why would you give up more picks to then draft a center what are they doing what’s the point if you’re if you’re going to a if you’re going to a different uh position and you don’t want to waste this on Malawash then that’s fine but then you just drafted you just drafted this the center too yeah what are And they have like Nick Richards who’s like a viable center he’s not crazy but how much better is Mark Williams than Nick Richards oh my god well I guess they got Nerk so they’re just they’re fired up the Hornets i mean do you think that like if you’re the assistant GM in that in that room right now like hey what if we traded two first round picks for Mark Williams like would you need your head examined like Charlotte’s like “Yes please yes please.” Yeah like do you need your head examined what is wrong with you are you What what are you talking about it’s actually crazy see and people think Embiid has no value trust me he does someone out there wants Joel Embiid i don’t know who and why but someone does i It’s It’s weird because what’s his face uh Greg just talked about it with Kevin Durant like he’s old like he’s old durant at least plays like it’s different value it’s weird like they they value weird people mark Williams is what 23 like I think he’s probably a little bit older than that but somewhere around there yeah I gota look it up he’s only traded with the Hornets to get Richards and now they’re teammates again i What are they doing that’s telling That’s telling if the Hornets can fleece any NBA team yeah what are you house yeah dogs yeah house dog [ __ ] yep nice yeah king of the throne kz’s wondering if Dan be can even dunk on his 3D printed knees three Three Dookies in the top 10 that’s not That’s not a surprise mark Williams just went for What the hell is going on like what how old is he Luke i can’t look it up mark Williams like we can draft Mark Williams and like we were talking about it earlier the Penn State center i don’t see a world where he’s any worse or any better than Mark Williams we can get him at 35 and they just traded two first round picks for him what i don’t know what the hype is the Lakers tried to get him i think that trade made more sense than than Is that a trade that didn’t go through yeah it didn’t go through i’m just saying that trade made a lot more sense in alternate universe this trade that we just watched doesn’t happen daryl’s about to go live who daryl somebody go mute and listen and report back not me i can’t listen to that guy talk i’ll get the quotes on Twitter fall asleep if I do that oh boy he’ll say he’ll say uh VJ’s got the greatest analytical projection in the draft facts donnie GBT has been working for us so far so I’ll take it i’m good with it whatever’s been working chat GBT like it clearly that’s what Gerald drafts with so Oh yeah yeah that’s right yeah traf Chat GBT is on a heater with our draft pick so I’m cool with it yeah jaden Springer what a talent yeah other than him but in all fairness that was like 24 so like for him to be like a great pick is like what are the odds of that anyway most of those guys at the end so here we go luke here’s your full full top board most of them are gone noah Gay is falling like crazy i feel like he’ll probably go right here it’s up i thought I was kind of low on the guy but we delete we I I’ve been working on the back end oh damn all right i didn’t know you’ve been working on the back end like that i appreciate I’m not just a pretty face on here i’m not just a talent on here you know what I mean the face talent oh my god the wrong button the back end’s just as important as the face yeah absolutely yo Luke well done you had Johnson going six or seven right i Well I had him as the third best player in the draft and he went six or I thought he would go six or seven here’s his top 10 well he he I thought he would go six or seven he did but he’s the third best player in my opinion yeah in my opinion he should have been in a Sixers uniform but the Trailblazers just drafted Cedric Howard and traded him to the Grizzlies which is wild that’s a great fit in uh Memphis i like that for them that’s like a Desmond B replacement gonna surprise people like I think he’s Dude he’s gonna go to Miami he’s gonna go to Miami and kill us every year yeah he’s Jamal Murray walter Clayton he’s He’s Jamal Murray 2.0 like he looks just like him plays just like him like I I just think someone’s going to get a steal with him if he just keeps falling like I get it like he’s not he’s not 19 like I get it but like yeah he was a great college player i mean he could score i I don’t know if he’ll be like an all-star but I think he’s going to be like a Jordan Clarkson level guy who definitely at that point in the draft is worth Yeah at that point in the draft is worth picking that that age though that allows him to to play right away though right like right you don’t see those fouryear players anymore well you’re going to start to because of the NIL money right you’re going to start to see guys stick around a little longer but he needed that he needed that run in Florida yeah like am I am I taking him if he stayed at Elon i don’t think he’s getting drafted am I like am I taking him top five no but like for a team that’s going to get him in the 20s like that’s it’s a steal like he is I think he’s literally Jamal Murray 2.0 like he could be an all-star but not really like he’s a borderline he’s inconsistent but he can give you 35 any night i just think he’s that kind of guy he’s like a He’s literally Jamal Murray donnie says the NFL draft is so much better it’s not even funny yeah and it’s longer yeah uh Portland was trading their pick yeah we just we just uh All right so just for uh they got a video of the Raptors pick shaking streaming you see the trade that they just made they just traded 11 so Memphis just traded 11 to Portland to Memphis for the number 16 pick a future firstrounder and two second round picks holy smokes so yeah i mean I like Howard i liked him too but I I don’t know i feel like for us now at 35 if we wanted to trade back up into like the late 20s that kind of just That’s a lot that is a lot they did just get four first though for uh Desmond Bane that is annoying as [ __ ] going to camp do you have to go through customs every time you go you get home there theirs is theirs is uh is that expedited from their from their team from their team plan right you know what I mean like Yeah yeah i say that [ __ ] would suck you get back from a long road trip but they probably do have to because you can’t bring you know you get if you’re bringing stuff in you got to have you got to declare it especially in Canada Deion Waiters would be screwed uh how do you let the Hornets NBA 2K that does seem like an NBA 2K trade so the Bulls are on the clock we’re only halfway we’re not even halfway through the first round i can’t believe Sorry keep going they just traded up five spots and gave up a first round pick and two second round that’s crazy that is insane yeah you got He gave up a ton you got a Trailblazers hat on but you won’t be wearing that very for very long no you won’t cuz the NBA is stupid that that is by far the dumbest rule in the NBA cuz there’s just no reason for it and they just won’t change it at all and like Malawatch is going to be on the Suns and he is wearing a rocket hat like what is going on daddy think oh Pump i was worried about Pump the whole night here he is i wonder where he was there he is uh good to see you again Brian he said “Yeah I was worried about him all.” I do i do agree with that that was the one concern you saw the tweet and you’re like “Ah it’ll fit right in.” [ __ ] i’m not going to defend that i’m not going to defend that whatsoever there’s no defending that nba trades are so arcadish yeah like the whole review process and you can’t announce it it’s all proposed till it goes through like the whole league’s here just to prove it right like damn why don’t you do me a favor and put up the uh top 10 just so Pump can see it just so he knows I’m not like a VJ just so he knows that I’m not like a VJ at three or bus guy and your boy Ace Bailey is ahead of him too so there you go wait we’re saying we just we just drafted Alex Caruso again again there’s nothing again there’s nothing wrong with that i don’t know if you hear when I said this before there are three guys in the NBA active NBA players that have more than one ring since 20120 that’s it there’s three guys in all of the NBA alex Caruso KCP and Drew Holiday there’s parody amongst all the NBA so these guys just win and also I guarantee you if uh a guy like Alex Caruso if you were to say “Hey this guy’s gonna have the career trajectory of Alex Caruso.” I guarantee you that guy’s a top five pick that’s how valuable that kind of player is especially at 19 and I think he’s Alex Caruso at 19 years old that’s what I don’t think anyone’s really understanding and he’s a guy who’s only gotten better and better and better and better every year so I feel like his ceiling’s higher than that but I think it’s safe to say that he will be Alex Guso i think that’s like a pretty good player if he doesn’t get any better and the jump shot doesn’t get any better I think he’s Alex Guruso what do you think about parody in the NBA about time i I like it but it’s gotten a little rid I think the second apron’s awful because while you have parody you also you’re not gonna you’re not going to have anyone stay on the same team because like Boston’s like “All right we’re going to go all in now on this ring and we know that two years later we’re going to have to trade it.” Yep right so like I I think there’s par at the top end right like obviously he’s had a different champion the last what seven years right so there’s parity at the top end but at the same time any there’s no like lower seeds that are upsetting higher seeds for the most part right there’s no like eight seed going on and winning a championship or even getting there right indiana of course is the one that throws that that wrench in there but they were still what let’s see where they I don’t even know i thought they were a five or six the only the only one was Butler but that was like what three years ago yeah so yeah there there’s parody in the top right like someone new is winning it but I don’t think there’s really like Oh we got a Daryl my quote i gotta cut you off we got a Daryl my quote joel Embiid Joel Embiid is very engaged in rehab expected to be ready right around training camp awesome that’s like his [ __ ] job how about that i know but pay him a gazillion dollars to do we haven’t heard anything i’m just happy that we heard something joel good you want a pat on the back i mean what the [ __ ] i’m just glad that we got something uh oh mvp season coming in that’s for you Noah d love you buddy wait D what are what are your Pistons up to i feel like they’ve been quiet says role player yeah I mean Pump obviously you just joined right we did talk about all they’re better than our team pump but Pump who do you draft i want to know but but yeah Ace Ace didn’t want to be here pump and and Pump don’t do this pump don’t do this Pump don’t be that guy now don’t do it don’t be the guy that wants Ace still don’t do that please don’t do that don’t be that stupid don’t be that stupid don’t be that stupid please don’t be that stupid we are the fan again I’ll say it again cuz he wasn’t here clearly we are the fan base that we crown ourselves on being the people that just want guys who give a [ __ ] and want to be here and want to win here and are willing to do whatever it freaking takes to win here and you just are one you’re clamoring clamoring over a guy who’s 18 years old didn’t do nearly enough in college to be making the commands that he’s making and you want that guy here who just said he doesn’t want to be here i again like I just I don’t I don’t understand it i don’t get it your boy Noah just went to Chicago isn’t this the dude who left his German league team to come to the NBA draft in the playoffs is that this guy i don’t know is that Mike Miller i don’t get the fascination with Ace B i think it was i know i’m on a delay so I just can’t wait to see it um New Orleans is taking Derek Queen at 13 they just got traded the pick from Atlanta yep atlanta was looking to move it yeah they moved it to New Orleans and they’re gonna take Derek Queen saying Danny Her is like saying Brian Kangelo was a nice guy yeah the second the second Danny A leaves the Celtics they win a championship i mean I’ll give him credit for drafting the two guys but still yeah he was a much better player than he is executive that’s for damn sure and yes I’m old enough to have seen Danny A play pump i’m not going to debate you on what you’re saying right there cuz I think he is a glue guy right i think he’s a glue guy day one that’s what I’m saying so like anything he adds on top of being a glue guy is great but you can’t come in this chat and clamor over a guy and beg for a guy who one isn’t even all that good in the first place and two said out loud he doesn’t want to be here after being a fan of this team over the last 10 years you want to bring that kind of guy in here again you are out of your mind you know how that’s going to work you just you know how that’s going to work ah thank you Don guy i The only thing See I agree i didn’t want to take him cuz he’s a loser and he doesn’t want to be here so why take him i just said that like as when I first came on the only argument would be if you took him and traded him but then what are you getting for him like I don’t even know who you would trade to if they had a deal in place then you do it but if they had nothing then we did we absolutely did the right thing again and pump you want to be the guy that’s like “Oh you picked a glue guy at three.” You know who made us pick the glue guy at three your boy Ace Bailey when he ruined all kinds of leverage that we had when he said “I don’t want to go here i don’t want to go there i don’t want to go there either.” So that was never happening oh he’ll love all that night life in Salt Lake City let me tell you Pelicans gave an gave up an unprotected first to move up three spots yep wow that’s a That’s for Queen i like Queen i like their queen i like him too but that fit sucks i feel bad for him probably but the land but the landing area is where it should be and they just gave up a [ __ ] ton for him also they gave up a future first their pick in uh later in the round i think it was like 20 or something 23 yeah it sounds like it james yeah yeah no Don don I’m pumped to not like the the uh McCain pick because everyone in the chat didn’t like the ace the It’s going to be exciting watching VJ navigate screens and collect hockey assists this is I’m Greg what did I say this is what we’re going to do this is This is it this is it this is it i knew it i knew it i mean that’s literally OKC’s entire team besides SGA just hockey assists and screens and flopping yeah like we just took Lou Dort pump let’s go nah he’s not he’s going to have to put a lot of muscle on to be a Lud Dort i’m not going to lie and grow a couple inches too right i think he’s Caruso i think Caruso is a very fair comp i think that’s a fair comp but you’re also That’s Caruso at 19 why is Egodawa on the stage for the freaking Pelicans and the Hawks because they’re the NBA Pioneers i still don’t know why that makes him on the stage but yeah no clue what does that even mean oh my god pump I hate to break it to you but your idea of whatever Ace Bailey would have done here I’m not saying it’s 73 and three but it’s not 22 and 10 like or anywhere close to that it’s not because he’s playing with four other guys who need the ball or want the ball yo you know what i haven’t heard a lot of in these drafts either like these interviews like I feel like nobody’s shouting out the team that drafted them because they don’t know they don’t know if they’re staying yeah I guess but either way yeah you can you really can’t It’s a dangerous world out there you really can’t you can’t either way like be like “Oh thank you so much to Atlanta for giving me this opportunity.” Like nothing like he didn’t say [ __ ] about the Sixers in his interview he was just like “We came from nothing bahamas we came from nothing now we here thank you i got him i I got pump i got him i got him i got him i got him.” Because the whole draft process he’s been saying that VJ is Alex Caruso now when we pick him and I admit that VJ is Alex Caruso you’re proving that you’re a hater where you just dropped him down by four levels and called him Josh Koji so get the hell out of here all right i love I think you just That’s I bought into your own player comp yo that’s awesome josh Ki you never All right all right now we’re just lying now we’re lying now we’re lying because I feel like we can all say that you said he’s Caruso a million times when I’ve been trying to be optimistic about the possibility of getting him you’re like “Oh my god we’re going to draft Alex Caruso at three.” I feel like that you’ve typed that at least five times this process pump turn your turn your TV on and just watch Malikica Andrews and you’ll be all right wow you probably won’t be i just Yeah I I would be I’m not a fan i have it on mute you’re not a Malikica fan no I don’t i’m not a No I’m not i was a Greg fan that’s fine and now every everybody showers on me it happens now I’m not uh Jacob I think this is actually really really good right he feels most people didn’t want VJ not saying he’s not solid but he feels he’s more of a five to seven player instead of three you want pure star but but Jacob to that point there really wasn’t that guy there especially with Ace pulling the [ __ ] that he did right ace was that guy you should be taking at three if all things are equal and if all things aren’t bullshitty like Ace decided to pull but once he does that then all things are out all things are are off the board because you can’t you know it’s just it is what it is at that point i only remember this Derek Queen guy for the buzzer beater i love I’m a fan but I love I love DQ oh don’t Yeah pump don’t worry the TV’s on mute i’m just saying watch the junior imagine going on live stream shaking pom poms for a team that drafted you and then you call on stream and announce they’ve been traded yeah yeah you can’t get too no no no i’m not saying like “Oh I can’t wait to play with Embiid or robot.” Like but at least give it like “Thank you for the Sixers for giving me an opportunity because once Pump’s gonna make me punch my damn computer screen.” What’s Alex Guso’s go-to move i don’t know Alex Garuso’s go-to move when did I ever say that BJO I never said any of that now you’re putting words in my mouth like he has his go-to move i never said any of that i called him Alex Caruso so you type in the chat what Alex Caruso’s go-to move is off the dribble because I’d love to know what that is too i never said that either and I also just put my my big board on the screen too i had him below like two other guys too i had him like fifth so like sorry sorry i’m trying to be optimistic about the pick that’s all I’m trying to do that’s all I’m trying to do you put it on the big board damn it there’s your big board i think everyone’s gone now everyone top 10 yeah y Queen just got drafted so your top 10 lasted top 13 i’d say that’s a hell of a job Luke it’s pretty good i appreciate it i think the fit sucks with DQ though i hate that he had to go to New Orleans he’s Oh New Orleans never mind i’m tripping him and Zion is very interesting to say the least no spacing there whatsoever oh Vasa Mitch in the Mark Williams deal what a legend by the way I I wish I would I wish I would have known that Mount Verie Academy had had all those killers on that team i would have went over and watched a few games if I could have gotten in can we talk i mean can that that you guys see that lineup that they had over here in Mount Verie down in Florida no what was it you had Cooper Flag Derek Queen Liam McNeely Ace one of the best all Yeah one of the best of all time and then somebody else in the second round uh the kid from Gonzaga the other uh Nebart or Yeah Nemhard yeah Nemhardt that was their high school lineup yeah the the game dude yo 100% yeah yeah wait wait Pump we’re pump we’re on the same page here cuz I said he’s probably not going to be a star i said that we’re on the same page i completely agree with you star players have go-to moves i never said he’s a star so there you go i believe guy we all said glue guy you said we all said glue guy great role player maybe a sixth man of the year is that good for you Pumper i mean I know at number three it may be looking for a little more but I never even said that if we if I agree that I would take I never even said I would do that yeah but this is also a unique team like you don’t need the number three stud right now it would be nice don’t get me wrong but like you’re hoping that you’re paying 80% of your salary to three other guys that are supposed to be your stars with go-to moves beat is a go-to move it’s the free throw line maxi has the step back freaking Yeah George got a little side to side pumper relax vj will be better than Jalil Oakafur from back in the day didn’t we take him at number three he almost won a ring huh you had to trigger me didn’t you was either don’t get me started pump i agree i agree i would have picked Trey Johnson i would have picked Trey Johnson i don’t throw away or an Achilles away from a ring yes yes yes brutal this guy’s not wearing a shirt he probably just would have sold it on eBay though but Oh my lord pump i agree i I mean I wish we got Trey Johnson but VJ will be a pretty good NBA player and Daryl we trust well I wouldn’t go oh I love Carter Bryant that’s a great fit too oh no i love that pick i love that pick oh I need a beer they had a great draft dude put a shirt on like how do you plan for the NBA draft your whole life and you’re just like “What i don’t understand the Igodawa thing what is going on with this why is he dapping up Spurs picks?” Iggy went to Arizona didn’t he iggy went to Arizona yeah okay cool thank you he is like uh not saying he’s going to be Scotty Barnes because I really don’t think he’s going to be anywhere near as good as Scotty Barnes but like how Scotty Barnes averaged like six points in college and projected to just be a great NBA player I think it’s same idea he’s not nearly as good as Scotty Barnes obviously but same idea he only averaged like He doesn’t play baseball right Pump he doesn’t play baseball we We need a Valdez that plays baseball and we get the guy that plays basketball the Phillies need some help right now we get another another gem from Zack Wheeler is that what VJ stands for valdez they’ve been shut out for what 15 straight innings yep what does VJ stand for i don’t know valdez i don’t know uh Jacob says “I don’t get why we wouldn’t trade back that even if the package wasn’t great we are still going to be one of the ones that pass on Ace if he’s crazy.” Because there was no there was no package at all and they needed to leave the draft with VJ originally they probably said “We like four players.” And then Ace Bailey was like “Okay remember those plans you had?” Well not anymore because I don’t want to play for any of those teams so you’re going to pick VJ yeah Ace Ace ruined all that uh he says it’s pump what the hell’s going on here we go valdez Edgeco is what it is yeah but where’s the Junior pump i’m in i’m in we We need some we need some hopefully they can hit or pitch out of the bullpen no his brother Byron Bson yes he is yeah pump i’m with you there dude i’ve been seeing a lot of DWade and it’s just like I don’t know we’re We’re doing too much we’re doing way too much kid it’s because Jay Bis Jay Bilis said that like at 19 he reminds him of Victor Oladipo and Dwayne Wade when they were 19 oh my god jer kid so So now people are like “Oh my god he’s we just got Dwayne Wade.” Like uh I don’t know i don’t think we did like Dwayne Wade was an incredible like mid-range shooter yes and I I don’t know i don’t see it there he wasn’t Alex Caruso though we got Al Bruce why couldn’t they draft Johnson yeah I we we said that Johnson or if you you know we said earlier if you’re going to reach you would have preferred them to potentially reach for a guy that could at least put the ball in the basket consistently right if you’re going to air on air on a side of a singular skill you should should probably be putting the ball in the basket maxi that’s not that’s not the way they went you have Maxi George Embiid McCain those are just ball and basket guys you kind You have to fill in but Trey is also a guy that is a terrific ball player too greg I literally totally forgot about Grimes that’s That’s how we we talked about this before i think that they definitely do like Grimes they do but I think that they’re really looking to pay him as far down the line to be like “We cannot wait to trade this contract because now they can they can match salary with like a 17 million guy or whatever.” Our bench is going to be what Grimes and Edgecom or is it going to be McCain and Edgecom probably Grimes and Edgecom if I were to guess day one that’s nice i don’t mind that maybe I could see Grimes getting in the starting lineup and then having McCain and VJ off the like that’s a fun bench mccain VJ like that’s a fast-paced offensiveminded like transitionoriented lineup i like that a lot sounds like awesome yeah I could I could see Grimes starting i feel like now that I think about it that’s more likely yeah I forgot Grimes was even on the team that that season was so Again I really think that they paid him and they’re really looking to pay him to be like this is a great trade asset like down the line i don’t think they’re going to do it this summer definitely not maybe not even next season but if he’s going to make somewhere around like 18 million for four years that’s a really good contract to be able I have to now I have to go off like Luke yes we drafted a bench player because we’re not really a lottery team we were a lottery team cuz cuz nobody played maxi didn’t play harper’s Dylan Harper’s gonna be a bench player like what are we talking Harper’s gonna be a bench player ace Bailey would not have started in my opinion I don’t think he would have started don’t you can’t say you can’t tell him that though even though you’re probably right you can’t tell him that if you kept Are we keeping Yaboo Luke i think we are no he’s he’s g he’s gone i think he’s gone that’s what I thought but Yaboo is like fighting it on Twitter and Instagram he was like “What are you pump oh god dude this This kills me this power forward talk power forward because now it’s positionless basketball it’s positionless basketball you played your system Max whoa oh my god see now we we’ve hit a new limit we’ve We’ve hit We’ve reached new heights we’ve reached new heights but it’s positionless basketball like if you’re if you’re I don’t think any team is going and saying like we need a small forward we need a power forward or anything like that i I just I don’t know i don’t see it i don’t see it james we wonder every week too he says “I I don’t get what Pump wants we passed on a guy who doesn’t want to be here is clearly a player that needs 30 minutes and a ton of offensive touches.” Yeah it wasn’t wasn’t going to be the right fit i can’t I can’t wait for the first night that like the Sixers play Utah on like some random ass Tuesday and and Ace Bailey shoots two of 15 from the floor and then we just yell at Pump for an hour and a half not even that they’re going to boo him every trip down the floor every time and he Welld deserved welld deserved boo him he should get booed his entire career i don’t think the I don’t think his career is going to be that long i really don’t for I think he’s gonna I disagree i think he’s going to have a really rough few years but then I think once he like matures and plays a few years in the league and he realizes that he needs to do certain things differently to expand his career I don’t I think he’ll play a longer career like that’s what I was saying i have more interest not a check in a 22year-old Ace Bailey who been through the fire and it’s like okay maybe I’m not this on ball like best player on the team guy who who didn’t that intrigues me games at Ruckers with a rookie contract ace Bailey does not intrigue me at all because he thinks he needs to be the guy Tom Sorber just goes to the defending champs Totally or total side note I am not in a Demona guy at all and I don’t know when we pick in the second round but I’d love to get a I mean pumping a power forward but I would love to get another big there’s a lot we all know going to be right and he’ll be waiting for an apology that no one’s going to give so just don’t hold your breath Paul we love you in here we’re getting apologies what are you right about it’s you’re getting all this love and there’s no not even a super chat no not even that what are you right about like you’re saying he’s a glue guy we agree with you no no he’s saying Ace Bailey but is he’s also again he is so scared to shoot three-point shots that he’s willing to sacrifice $15 million of his own money to make sure that he’s in a place where he can continue to take mid-range shots so he might be an all-star but he would never be an all-star on this version of this team ever ever i can’t I can’t wait to see his true shooting percentage after the first year see Casey I I was kind like you sound crazy for that statement but I was like sort of with you with the Maxi not being a great playmaker till Luke opened my eyes when he was like well who the hell he had PJ Tucker in the starting lineup at one point like he had nobody to playmake with and then when Embiid’s on the floor you’re just slowing everything down and giving it to Embiid in the post and then now he’s your playmaker so like he’s never really but we’re going to hold last year against against Maxi right you can’t hold last year against Maxi did he have a good year no no no no he didn’t right like he didn’t have a great I’m sorry he didn’t have a great year he still averaged a really good number but he can’t hold last year against him if he comes back this year with hopefully a more of a continuity from a team and who he’s playing next to every night and has the same year then maybe we could start to have maybe a little discussion right but I’m not going to hold last year against Maxi just because all of last year went up like smoke real quick right it started right it started without George and Embiid for the first what two weeks three weeks and then you get guy back and he’s hurt again and and then he gets hurt and I just I can’t hold it against Sixers like they didn’t even we got the number three pick because of last year and now we’re going to hold everything that happens last year on probably our now biggest best player right now well I also think the other part of it is that when people say he’s not a great playmaker I’m just going to say “Yeah you’re right he’s not a great play.” Like I agree with you he’s not i’m not going to pretend like he is i think you need to bring in guys who can take some of that pressure off of him because he’s a tremendous scorer and he’s a great offthe-ball player too so I don’t know i I I kind of get where they’re coming from but I kind of agree with them he’s not a great playmaker and if he was he would be an all-star starter every year but he’s not oh Jake Myers you son of a [ __ ] no but that was so Sixers last year where like we didn’t hear anything bad about Embiid and George and then like I it was like the day before the game it was like they’re out home opener embiid to be re-evaluated in two week we’re like what are you talking about like they just blindsided us they waited till everyone bought the tickets they were like “Oh yeah.” Edge says “What up fam i’ve been in and out of the chat with that said Edgecom is a great pick although Tom isn’t wrong Bahamas pump you possibly could correct but Ace seems like a jerk off.” And let’s also before we go into these expectations with Pump if Ace Bailey is scoring 20 points a night on the Jazz who in his entire career end up in the playin every year and losing that is still not a player that I would want at three i want to be clear with that too that goes back to my Brandon Ingram brandon Ingram is a better basketball player than Alex Guso no doubt about it but on like 90% of winning teams if you’re like “Hey you can have Brandon Ingram or you can have Alex Caruso.” They’re like “Alex Guso does a whole lot for my team right now.” Whereas Brandon Ingram yeah is a better piece for me to build around technically but like what is he going to do on this team like what is he adding to our team his weaknesses are going to be exposed completely uh KZ says Maxi basically had the same team around him this upcoming year no he’s not he hasn’t beaten George and McCain and McCain like they got hurt last year so you can’t have the same team when guys the entire year and we’re also we’re also acting like it’s like oh my god if Maxi was a better distributor of the ball we would have like made the playoffs no we wouldn’t have like what are you talking about that wouldn’t have made any we would have sucked anyway so it doesn’t make any difference we had guys on 10day contract we had Philip Marshall out there ball half these guys cool gi agree this six or seven nine years ago focused on loading on big man and forward but now they’re focused on loading up a guards no balance the only f Well well the league’s changed the league yeah Mike you’re absolutely right the league changed and and also the NBA stepped in and and and took our process away from us right so I think there was a plan but when you d when you first drafted it Embiid he was hurt right so you then start you then you continue to draft or or bring in big because you don’t know what you have with Embiid so you got to make sure you’re covered there you know and and the rest of the league was chasing the Warriors and Hanky was smart enough to know that the league is going to come back to normal and not to chase the Warriors because the Warriors had four of the greatest shooters of all time on the same team or three of them right and so he went big right and yeah now we’re going guards because the Leaves turned back to guards that’s just what it is it’s not like I don’t think it’s a focus i just think it’s it’s what it’s the position they’ve been put in by by their where they’re drafting and and what the league has to offer i also think for the Sixers sake not necessarily us but for their sake I don’t think they picked him because he’s a guard i think they picked him because they thought that he was actually the best guy the best player for we don’t think that but I clearly that’s what they think so the Sixers think yes yeah right well he’s the only guy we worked out with right oh my god Greg you’re gonna freak out i think so Mike yes what’s that this is the reach of the draft you’re gonna You’re gonna love it i kind of hate that I just spoiled that for you so this has got to be They d they draft me so this is going to to Portland it’s nowhere even clo I’m pissed that Twitter just ruined that for me but it’s if I gave you 10 guesses you wouldn’t guess it i I know who it is crazy reach the guy from China why’ you Why’d you ruin it oh yeah oh did you actually just guess that that was a good guess i wanted him I wanted him at 35 i wanted this 72 guy from China at 35 but remember this is going to Portland though right i thought I flew it i thought you were ahead of me Greg i’m lost are you serious i thought I thought you were ahead of him he’s in the stands he’s in the stands yang Hansen oh that’s amazing that That man is 20 rows up in the stands at his own table that’s crazy wow i’m with you Ryan i love what the Spurs did today what they did jacket he can’t even button a jacket at least that is crazy at least he’s he looks like he’s like seven he’s 30 feet tall but he looks like he’s seven he can’t shoot at all and he moves like and bead off of one ACL like he looks like Embiid in that Knicks series i would like uh I think it’s Jun Timberwolves i know they got Dillingham but I think Clayton Jr would be way better am I right isn’t this pick going to Portland yep it is yeah they also have like 20 centers on their team too they have Eighton uh Robert Williams clinging and now this guy there you go Swoopy they’re going big too they’re going big uh Maxi still had PG he didn’t have PG mccain played like 20 games they played 15 games together and I think four of the 15 games one of them got hurt in like the first quarter so they did not they did not play together wait I’m losing my mind did McCain even play last year he played 23 games yeah nobody played on the sixth last year don’t worry about it wait I’m really losing my mind that was his rookie year last year jesus that went quick yeah them 58 losses rack up in a hurry you know yeah he played the first 15 first guy you don’t have on the board Luke yo Minnesota I really believe they need Clayton Jr minnesota’s a team that needs a guy that’s ready now dylan I really think so i think they need a guy that that can play now like Connley’s old and Dillingham’s good but he’s a little like sporadic he reminds me like Matherine like he will be good but like they’re just out of control i thought he was going to be way better well he also did he just didn’t really get that fair of a shot i think hopefully with like Connley being a year older hopefully he’ll get a better shot did you guys hear uh what’s his face jeff Teague talk about how Justin Edwards is better than Ace Bailey i did i did see that he said it’s kind of a ridiculous thing to say but I do think Justin Edwards is very underappreciated amongst just Sixer fans he I think he’s he’s definitely a part of this young core like what do we Well like I don’t think we’re throwing parades for him yet like under No but he he’s a great building block piece like I think he on a championship team I do think he can play but I think he can play i think he can play think he was a flashlight on its last battery in a in a dark alley i disagree he’s He’s the number one high school He’s the number one recruit in high school so like he’s had this in his bag all along i I’m a big belie screwed him up kentucky screwed him up is what he was saying yeah i think he can play like was right i think he play like a Aaron Wiggins role an Aaron Wiggins role on a team like ninth man yeah why draft an ace Bailey when you potentially have a guy that’s better than him already on your roster and Justin Edwards that was his thought i mean I’m not going to go as far to say that but I did I do think he’s a good player for sure min James says Minnesota is an interesting spot it is uh he said he could uh Brandon says he could see East Asa New go here he’s falling like crazy right now you got to take this Minnesota [Laughter] they literally they don’t have a second score they got rid of towns it’s literally Randle’s okay I guess venzo Yakonis is falling like crazy too i thought he would be great with He’d be great with Minnesota uh a big point guard was saying I was gonna say Don Don that’s an alltime ugly awkward combo big man if you want it was Ed and Wang why are they drafting these freaking random centers out of They’re not even from here i like the way the board’s falling right now for us at 35 i think there’s going to be a lot of guys foreigner like Jace Richardson’s falling nate Clifford’s falling n Clifford if you talk about like a wing oh my god i would consider trading up for a guy like Nick Clifford let’s bring it up let’s bring up your board because this guy I don’t think this guy was on there no I think he was yeah he was but not that high i see the sixers trade up and grab a new I would like that i would I’m more of a fan of Nick Clifford but I like it you know see you brother you know yep uh let’s pull up your big board while we go here richardson there’s Yeah you talk about Nick ace of I mean Jace Richardson on our team makes zero sense because he’s talk about no size that’s the one thing he doesn’t have going for him he’s 6’2 so that’s what happened the only argument for him right is pedigree right it’s just you go with that pedigree and Jason obviously played for us for a minute did you even have this Chinese guy on here no no I didn’t i did not like I I honestly I saw people like on like Discords and stuff like that like wanting him at 35 and even then I’m like no I’m good i do not want that guy yeah i’m like I’m He can’t move he can’t jump over a curb like I’m good neither can and the guy behind right that’s awesome neither can Embiid noah yeah you’re right that’s a cool name i love um the kid from Kentucky Kobe Bria i love him like he’s perfect for what we would need right now just shoot the [ __ ] out of the ball and he’s got a pretty good frame drafted a kid out of Kentucky called named Kobe i’m in i’m down 100% he spells it differently but yeah I that’s who I that’s who I want at 35 i’m just waiting for my boy to get drafted and get some respect i hope Miami does take him who’s that walter Clayton oh you talking about Yeah he’s I pray Miami doesn’t take him he’s going to kill us forever it’s so weird how do you like He’s 23 okay but how do you carry a freaking natty chip run and just ball out the way he did and just fall this far it’s actually crazy cuz the NBA doesn’t give a [ __ ] about what you do in college realistically they just look at your tape and know what they project yeah like he he literally looks like a mini Jamal Murray right now and you’re taking guys out of China can you imagine if the Sixers did that with the third pick we take Yang Hansen freaking riot i kind of could i’m not going to lie i could see that i’m all over Kobe Brea at 35 that’s my That’s my dream pump good news kobe Brea is 67 and he can shoot you’re gonna love him you’re gonna love him i can’t wait for him to go 34 yeah yeah we’re probably not going to pick him but whatever luke you you remember Carson Edwards of course i remember i thought he was going to be amazing me too when when the Yeah yeah yeah when the Celtics took him the pick before us dude i I like was breaking [ __ ] in my B i was I don’t I don’t think he I don’t think he’s played a minute like in the last two years is he even in the league i don’t think so like he I thought he was going to be disgusting like I I couldn’t believe he kept falling and falling and falling i was like “Oh my god he’s not 26 he’s the He’s the older than some of the other He’s 22 he’s not 26.” I get it he’s not the youngest guy but I don’t know i like him i like him he has an NBA skill set it’s a second round pick who gives a [ __ ] yeah that’s facts well 35 is a 35 is like a late first you’re gonna get someone pretty damn talented at 35 i would think crazy right there you go he went nuts against Tennessee the tournament yeah dude carson definitely possible definitely possible he was a problem what about Krunner oh dude i He his player comp for me is like 2025 Brook Lopez he is slow as [ __ ] but he plays exactly like Brook Lopez but like the older washed down version of Brook Lopez so like if you’re willing to deal with a guy right where yeah like if you’re willing if you’re willing to draft a guy who’s just slow as [ __ ] you can do it i’m not in love with it but you don’t like slow white guys pump i’m kind of I thought you were a Phillies fan i’m with Pump on this one no good stuff i like the drafts though look good stuff that’s fun to have no the uh the Sixers [ __ ] burner jersey would go nuts and wild go absolutely nuts and wild oh my god wait are are they wearing the uh the all blacks this year yeah uh I actually I hope so i thought so i thought they said that last year that that next year which is not I thought so too but then I also saw like a leak of one and it’s not the black one it’s like a blue it kind of looks like the the the one when Ben was here where it’s like the cursive Philadelphia but it’s like the jerseys blue and the letters are Yeah yeah it’s literally that but like the colors are inverted yeah sh we just take the fact that Noah didn’t fall asleep you know what I mean like we’re good as long as he get long as he leaves before he falls asleep on air we’re good i doubt he not even an NBA guy he’s a football guy yeah he’s not yeah Johnny it’s not pretty we got two gems well we got first and third right now top eight one out first and third Swerber up uh Philly’s down one nothing they have not scored in 16 innings that is correct double play oh but yeah Ranger threw a jam yesterday haven’t been tuned in but only one run you know wheels threw well tonight wait is Turner on first no Turner’s on third first yes yeah he’s on first steal second why is he Why is he not stealing well we found it off so first you could go on well you could have why it just You’d have to go back yeah they didn’t i didn’t hear it because I don’t have it muted like they could have said runner no there’s the runner oh there’s a double play nope nope nobody nobody there did Marie score no he stayed okay all right basic out it’s a guaranteed double play guaranteed double play double play oh my hey do we get a do we get the Wizards the Wizards took my boy the Wizards they traded him to Utah they traded him to Utah quayon man he’s got to play with Ace that sucks for him i like him a lot i mean I would say interesting fit that is over that is a wild fit that’s a good read good read by Marcy though he He’s dead out if he goes yeah for sure i mean if I’m the Sixers right now I’m I get it he’s older and he’s a much older prospect which kind of makes you pause but Nick Clifford has a skill set that is just built to play right now on our team the further he falls i don’t get it at all oh you you know you know an NBA guy is really good at NBA when they’re showing your football highlights you know KZ he didn’t need a beer i know no was busy at work with the Fourth of July coming up what does he do uh he works at a meat fat meat uh packaging plant like a deli meats yeah portland’s already framing him as uh the Chinese Jokic oh my god no way yeah yeah worst thing right you’re three hole hitter infield single okay so just just for like the Sixers sake Utah sent number 21 and two seconds to jump three spots that’s crazy so like if we’re at 35 and we get towards the end of the first round it’s going to cost two more seconds really to jump a few That’s a That’s crazy that’s That’s wild yeah i mean we’re not even We’re not even in the 20s yet right like Yeah so they traded back three spots and got two second round picks on top of it i wish they made this [ __ ] like a fantasy football draft and gave everyone like two minutes and just did the whole thing yeah this takes forever dude i saw people say how great the NFL is it takes forever it’s like [ __ ] 15 rounds imagine they did the lottery like an hour before the draft that would be sick i want them to do that that would be awesome that would be so fun that it would be it would go against everything that they stand for and like you know interviews and evaluations and stuff like that never do it the NBA like pump we agree on something i am dying for Nick Clifford to somehow in some alternate universe to fall to 35 somehow i doubt that happens but that would be amazing yep there goes Walter uh KY said Chro fans thought he was going to win with Westbrook as his point guard they got a re I don’t think they lost because of Westbrook he just catches strays now because he was built on athleticism and the older he gets the less athleticism he has and now he just gets every stray possible i mean if we want to get real and they lost because Jamal Murray wasn’t any good in the playoffs and Aaron Gordon no they took the Thunder to seven aaron Gordon was he ruptured his hamstring he played like three games that was without Jamal Murray being good yeah literally and they still went didn’t they go seven directly before the playoffs probably wasn’t a good idea that didn’t help either your ass that was weird as [ __ ] that was weird as [ __ ] Ryan i forgot about that yep it’s a weird NBA year like yo you’re the four seed in the West there’s three games left you’re You won like seven of your last 10 you get canned or they lose seven but either way you’re a four seed they I see you and you took the Thunder to seven at least he didn’t ground a double play yeah but you swinging at a pitch in the other batter’s box what are you doing bro as a fourhole three hole hitter oh it’s so disappointing that’s awful that never even had a chance to come back [ __ ] terrible oh first pitch swinging casty he’s never seen a pitch he don’t like I saw he was like statistically the second least uh clutch hitter in baseball or something like that oh that’s not shocking boom or Cassy which one cassie was the second like least clutch actually better no it was like a stat for this season it was like a a number stat he was the second least in the entire MLB last year he was nuts actually oh remember that remember that Don titty good old Ralph good old Ralph boom working yeah and then strikes out he has a bum guys batting like 280 everyone hates him it’s so funny my My one buddy hates him he text me every day about him i hate him i want him gone trade him he stinks it’s so funny i’m like “Dude I’m not saying he’s a he’s a stud but 280 he’s traded.” Yeah it’s just crazy he’s They’re not paying him they’re not going to pay him they’re not paying him no way nor should they in my opinion yeah i like You’re going to move i don’t know i don’t think he’s irreplaceable i just don’t think he gets so much hate i guess it’s cuz he I think he brings it he brings it all himself though he’s not a bad player but like for what the Phillies need him to be he needs to be better like we’re This is a team that has zero runs right now we haven’t scored in six We haven’t scored in 16 straight innings and we’re going to blame We’re gonna we’re gonna blame the guy that’s batting 280 that why we haven’t scored in 16 straight innings 17 well everyone want to blame Rojos last night right you know what I mean like I’m not saying Roas is a is a freaking truck driver 37 guys on base yesterday yeah rojos can’t even lay a bunt down though it was like two times he came up he couldn’t even get a bunt down like he stinks if you can’t hit you can’t lay a bunt i’m not saying he doesn’t but I’m saying like you’re right in that sense you’re right though like we we wrong guys catch bla there right you know what I mean but listen I’m not the I’m I sound like I am but I’m not the biggest like b guy anyway loaded both bases loaded one out i need a ball in play 100% 100% but if he put a ball if he puts the ball in play it’ll be a double play we’ll be like “Yep yep he stinks double play.” We’re gonna say he stinks when he swings the ball in the batter box anyway right you know what I mean yeah no but I I looked I looked at a lineup yesterday like we Otto Kemp’s been great but he’s a D2 guy like we we have Otto Kemp Buddy Kennedy Johan Rojos and we’re gonna we’re gonna like last night was the only time that he’s looked overmatched against hater right like and that’s first time you see a guy like Hater i’m gonna But yeah I’m with you with Buddy Kennedy and Rojos though but because Houston has a lefty lefty closer and toppers got to go righty lefty matchup you didn’t want You didn’t use Kepler you didn’t use Marsh you didn’t use Scott right you could have pinch hit somebody they would have given you better bats than Buddy Kennedy and Rohox yeah like to me like where did Kennedy play i don’t even remember first base yeah like he stinks like I I I would much rather have and it’s two different positions but like to me I don’t care if it’s a lefty start like he’s such a better bat than Buddy Kennedy like I like Sosa sosa was balling even though he swung at the 20 but yeah Johnny we uh it wasn’t a good I forget who it is there’s I mean he’s not showed nothing he hasn’t hit a ball out yet but he’s not shown nothing he’s actually been really good on defense but defensively I keep seeing this tweet i forget who’s who it is it’s like the Phillies are in the worst position possible bases are loaded and it comes up like it’s a tweet from like 2021 and I think I find it funny every single time somebody retweets it you’re also missing your actual true threehole yeah yeah like obviously like Yeah you haven’t had Harper for [ __ ] forever like Cash anything yeah but but that’s nothing new right you know what I mean like Yeah like that but that’s why he’s great like when he’s your sixth seven maybe fifth guy you’re like “Wow all right we’re a really good lineup.” When he’s four like I don’t know again every day strong hopefully he’s good tonight he’s been shaky oh Bush Strami well because he throws 93 and he thinks he throws 99 another good thing that the Phillies are on mute on my phone is you don’t have to listen to Rub tonight you know we got to Oh oh my god there’s no question about it did Trey give up an error for that run oh that sucks there goes all the trades not that bad on defense guys yeah you’re so right about Ruben bad on defense he’s just his errors are so timely untimely well that’s how I feel about Bone that’s a great way to put it that’s Ludy Bone like his his outs are just so timely stinks we agree there Mike we talked We were talking that last week Mike we were talking about Byron Buckton was our name last week still a great name still a great name get him and uh Durant yeah in Minnesota yeah but I don’t I don’t need all that dramatic when you come in the game just throw the damn ball i don’t You can do whatever you want if you throw 101 i’ll give [ __ ] it’s gonna be a meme when we get lit up by the Mets in round one go to Minnesota for Durant and and and Buckton or go to Boston for Durant and Chapman and maybe sprink sprinkle a Bregman while you’re there oh I listen I love Durant he can leave that little theatrics at back in wherever he came from this tracks Casey this tracks was He’s terrible casey he stinks he’s terrible everybody that’s not named Krook stinks on that broadcast drums wind up looks like 102 every hitter then sees a change up at 93 craig greg he l I almost called you Craig i don’t know why he Ruben literally sucks like like you said he always says there’s no question about it he’ll always say there’s no question about that or there’s no doubt about that he’ll always say he’ll be like “Well he’s he knows how to he said it yesterday about Framber Valdis.” He goes “He knows how to pitch Tom there’s no question about that he knows how to pitch.” Thanks dude he’s a major league baseball pitcher no dude it’s I again like I’m a massive baseball guy like I don’t know if you guys have seen like Steph you probably have like Mezerowski over in um Milwaukee that kid’s throwing 102 and then his slider is 94 knocking guys over yeah imagine Imagine you’re Stum or somebody and you’re coming out of the pen and you’re like “Oh I feel really good today.” And your fast ball’s 92 and this guy’s throwing a slider at 94 he’s like 23 years old or some [ __ ] like dude just disgusting i can’t wait he’s got an MLB the show card i used it the other day it’s absolutely filthy i didn’t use this this year i’ve used this last year’s in game they they have like a like a spotlight card or something disgusting yeah i haven’t gotten there i haven’t gotten it yet i don’t have it i like I somebody I I forget where I used it like co-op or something yeah yeah that’s disgusting oh it’s that guy no one tori just went I flipped the Phils on once once Quayon got drafted where’s Fran where’s Fran for sure at with I think they Miami might pick Chase Richardson and he’s another guy that they would pick that could just randomly turn into a stud greg size oh my god home run jesus uh $2 is it Is it time to trade Nola no well it won’t happen no one’s going to take him it won’t happen vj is at the presser right now yeah yeah and uh this says VJ Edgecom raved about his time getting to know Tyrese Maxi he said that’s going to be my backcourt mate and said hopefully he and Maxi will retire as part of the same team one day oh [ __ ] there you go see see buckets you killed the guy early because you didn’t want to talk about the team now he’s here for life and you know what’s cool about it it wasn’t just him everyone did it i’m just busting you yeah yeah yeah what’s What’s cool about that is that when this guy gets drafted he talks about like what it’s going to be like playing with all these guys i guarantee you if Ace Bailey came here it would be me me i can’t wait to I can’t wait to do this i can’t wait to do that i’m going to do this i’m going to do it’s me me no I’m over the me guys we’ve had too many me guys here i’m done kz says “I love Room’s Captain Obvious commentary.” Can’t wait to hear Mike talk about the Sixers broadcast no dude oh that’s a whole other problem harry is rolling in his great so real quick let’s get back a little bit to the draft do you see the Heat trading ban is that legit or is that just smoke i think Pat Riley is in a kind of he’s in a spot where he won he’s old and I think he wants one last run at not to be like we’re title favorites to be like okay like we can make a push in the playoffs type of run and he’s also in an Eastern Conference where there’s almost no talent at all because everyone’s just hurt and like we’ve brought up in the past teams like Detroit if I’m looking at the East right now I’ll be the guy again i’m gonna say it right now i think even if I think you’re going to get a healthy Paul George because he’s not nearly like on a normal season as unhealthy as he was last year so I think you’re going to get a healthy Paul George what he’s going to do on the court whole other question but I think he’s going to play a lot more so Embiid aside I think that they are good enough given the current state of the Eastern Conference to be a top six seed in the East i am confident in saying that i think they have more depth and talent than most of the Eastern Conference i think that’s fair to say it’s draft night we got over 200 people watching across all our platforms go ahead and give us a like give us a subscribe share the show let’s see we got 175 on you on on X go ahead and retweet the show for us 25 on YouTube go ahead and drop us a like come on 10 or so on on Facebook give us a share give us a like throw us a comment get in here nba draft number 20 coming up miami Heat on the clock they took Tingis Pingis they always do this [ __ ] this guy’s going to be ridiculous now too yeah he’s he’s gonna average seven threes against the six years he’s gonna average like 15 assists a game crazy passer he was pretty filthy great point guard i He’s great next to Tyler Herro i like that fit for him a lot he looks like a He looks like a taller Goron Draggage little bit that’s honestly crazy you say that i like that comp a lot a lot he’s a big point guard he said he was they would trade Nola Rojos and some pitcher for Dylan CE the Japanese pitcher that will be the show nice yeah i mean they’re not trading Noah they’re not they like him too much no there’s no way and and up until this year he’s always been durable he hasn’t been this bad right i mean this is a blip on the radar oh yeah it’s not even It’s not really much a shot at him it’s just a shot at the team in general with the bullpen and uh bringing a big bat in error errors in ben right now you’re not hitting the [ __ ] baseball yeah oh 100 percent but still I mean I’m not comfortable going in a playoff series against the Mets or or anybody for to begin with and you gotta listen nobody nobody scares you until Tanner Banks is throwing the sixth inning and Taiwan Walker’s throwing the sixth inning like I I need we need bullpen you can’t again you have a closer you’re not going to have the You’re naming guys that have actually except for Walker tanner Banks have been really good recently he has been pretty good he’s been really good yeah but you everyone’s great in June wait till the I I’m not trusting Tanner Banks against anybody in the playoffs he is He He is your when the [ __ ] hits the fan guy working his way into being the eight the A tier guy on the left side that’s scary wonder what JC Romero is doing nowadays oh good old JC probably a couple needles here and there you think he was a needle guy i feel like I think he was a pill guy he might yeah i mean regardless he was a he was an extracurricular activity guy [Laughter] he was doing something he pitched no hitter that’s nice d yeah donnie said Danny Wolf is falling love that for the Sixers if they could somehow get him who’s the guy that you agreed with on Pump because he didn’t get drafted yet I don’t think nope kobe Pete like him a lot oh wait no no we agreed on uh Nate Clifford I think yeah Nate Clifford well Luke if we pull up the big board right we pull up here nate Clifford is 20 what is he like 23 or something i think 23 the last guy in the lottery talent just went right that’s Jakob Jun so so they got Miami got a lottery talented guy here at 20 I think so I I would agree with you there was too much size there was early parts where Yakob Junis was like top 10 pick right early part of like season they’re in the middle of the season yakunis was a top 10 pick wait why did I just put this together the Suns got Malawak so they got Mark Williams Nick Richards Malawak yeah that’s why I was like what are they doing i don’t get what they’re doing and now I just I saw on Twitter they’re like uh Nick Richards is a prime trade candidate i’m like no [ __ ] no [ __ ] james Jackson the Phillies really feel like the Sixers now as unfortunate as that is i’ve been saying it for months james no no the Sixers are much worse off than the Phillies are i mean yes there’s obvious there’s levels to this there’s Yeah but the comparison really is nobody cares anymore until they win at all yeah yeah like I feel like with the Phillies like that first run was so magical you you didn’t expect to be there you weren’t that disappointed in the first run then the second run to the to the Diamondbacks you were like pissed off and now it’s just like they lose to the Mets and you’re just like “Oh my no one cares till they win.” Like this is all great they win 100 games or 80 85 90 game whatever they’re going to win but no one cares till they win at all that in I just look at it like the core that they have is three years old so yeah that’s what I mean like we You you got to enjoy the ride but we’ve been enjoying the ride for two or three years and now it’s just like me when they win forget how old the players are i just look at it like their core now is three years old so if it doesn’t work after the third year well you’re getting close here because obviously Schwarber’s in the last year of his contract castian has one more year j is JT a free agent after this year jt is a free agent after this year ranger um Rangers free a Cesar Hernandez again um I mean but like the difference now between like what happened you know years ago is the Phillies gutted their farm system to keep themselves going before right back after like you know 2010 2011 like they still have all of these prospects coming up right you’re going to be able to have um you know you got Andrew Painter you got you got Mick Ael unless he gets traded you got um uh J Justin Crawford you got you know um who’s the shortener aiden Miller’s coming up right like you got these guys in the in like the you know in a pipeline that you’re going to be able to be here and all of those guys are like top 100 prospects in baseball right now andrew Panner’s a top five guy justin Crawford’s like a top 15 guy aiden Miller’s up there too like these are all like top prospects and you know they’re going to be talked about when you know in the deadline in a couple weeks time but I feel like they’re just kind of you know unless they can get somebody relatively cheap you know we we’ll see what happens i don’t like but yeah I think this is the last time that this team is going to be together in a sense um at least in like the core that it is now like depending on what happens I could for sure see them like trading this off seasons um I you got to bring Schwarber back you have to at whatever the hell they’re going to do um I I don’t think they’re going to pay Ranger which is painful because he’s been absolutely electric like weeks since he came off the IIL um I don’t know um yeah i mean like it’s it’s the roster is just like it’s too old right now it it you have to get younger you have to you you maybe give JT another two-year deal maybe three um to have I think we have a pretty good catching prospect down down on the farm um yeah I don’t know it’s tough man like the team’s so good and you’re obviously you’re like one of the best teams in the National League you’re one of the best teams in baseball right now and like but it’s it’s hard to watch this team like every night and just be like you can tell you’re short right you need an outfield bat you need you need a bullpen arm or two um you know you need Bryce Harper back right like it’s hard to take it seriously but also like it’s it’s not even July yet right you still got July August September you got three full months of baseball to go right and this team is I think it’s going to be very different in about a month yeah it’s got to be different like we hope it is cuz like you said you that I think the last point you made is like the biggest one like you can just tell it’s different like you can just tell that we’re missing stuff like I feel like in years prior like you you felt like you had all the pieces you were ready for the playoffs but this year you’re watching and you could just you could just see the holes yeah and then the whole like Alvarado situation where he you know took peeds or whatever thing that he took that he can’t help him lose weight or whatever like that [ __ ] you even more like you already needed a bullpen armor too right right and then you lose your best bullpen guy like your closer the guy that you could throw in those high leverage situations who can throw 100 miles an hour with a with a sick cutter right like that makes it even that much harder and everybody knows you need stuff which is going to make the asking price higher so like but there’s there’s three guys you’re not going to trade like no matter what you’re not trading Crawford you’re not trading Aiden Miller and you’re not trading Payer so you’re trading Mick Ael for something or you’re trading Ranger which realistically I don’t really want to trade Ranger you kind of just get like a comp pick for him later but who the hell knows they’ll lose their fight without Bryce oh no oh no pj just had a bad quote what’ he say he said it’s crazy because he they played together on uh on uh the Bahamas he said “It’s crazy me and Eric Gordon are teammates now but then he’s he’s he said EG is old though man so at least he knows that Eric Gordon’s not going to be here when the season starts i think he’s probably going to be here it’s up to him cuz it Yeah yeah i saw Lowry’s likely be back oh man i think the four of them are all going to be back but I don’t think they’re all going to play christ for who lowry Gordon i think Lowry cuz Gordon is going to come back player option ub is going to come back but I feel like he’ll probably get traded though i’d be shocked if he played but he’ll be back contractually player option drummond’s definitely going to accept that and then I I also think he’s probably a trade candidate too i would be shocked if he’s on the team i like just in terms of like I like Ub too i like him a lot i like him i don’t know if I like him for like now with these aprons existing he’s making like close to $8 million which when he first signed it was nothing but now $8 million is a lot when you think about when you have three max contracts one more year right yeah it’s one more year yeah but I would probably I would think about trading him just to see what’s out there i’d wait to me I’d wait till the deadline you want to trade him at the deadline so be it the only thing I’m scared with him is he might screw his value this year if he has another year like last year cuz he’s one of the guys that actually did play and looked really bad just plainly looked awful well cuz he’s not a star i feel like like he was so bald he’s not a star but he he can’t shoot a lick like let’s be honest he can’t shoot i wouldn’t mind him still being on the team but unit type guy right with like him and um he’s running well let’s map it out they They’re going to start Maxi i looks like they’re probably going to start Grinds they’re going to start Paul George Embiid yu kelly might Yahoo’s gone are you’re settled on that i don’t think Yabu’s gone i think he’s gone they don’t have the money for him they don’t They can’t afford him they really can’t that’s another reason why they probably should trade Kelly Uber they have any chance i agree with you on that i’m keeping Yabu over Ubé yeah absolutely if we if we got to trade we got to trade him for like whatever to free up money for Yabu I’m down for that absolutely you need the four we don’t really have a four you got to keep Yaboo like I hate I can’t stand I know the pos I know the positionless basketball thing and you’re right to an extent but like just matchup wise like I can’t stand I hear what you’re saying i would love Yavu to come back when Paul George is the four i can’t stand it like it it’s like he’s not guarding Syakum he’s not guarding Bobby Poris like he’s not guarding anybody like who is he guarding at the four position like he like I I don’t like George at the four at all i think he’s I think he’s a three he ain’t guarding Giannis he ain’t guarding Poris he ain’t guarding Seakum i’m just naming people but he’s not guarding him that’s definitely true i would love Yabu back i just don’t see how it’s possible because I saw that the Spurs want him they have a ton of money and we are not really allowed to offer any more than like four million a year jesus and they could go well over that so I just And plus he’s boys with WBY i don’t know i just I I’d be shocked if he ended up coming back i hope he does some guy the Sentel they’re the [ __ ] They’re the best it’s like Ace Bailey has informed his agent of his decision to retire from the NBA that’s great wait if you did that would you still get your bonus that you get for getting drafted fifth i have I have no idea i feel like you have to like your man Bas technically did that when he died but Greg is crazy malika looks great tonight i don’t think I don’t think that’s what he was saying yeah and KP looks like a bag of [ __ ] this guy christ poor Jason Richardson still stuck up i know it’s not actually Jason Richardson but I mean he’s just really small that’s the only thing i just can’t see that name if he was three inches taller he’d probably be a top 10 pick i wish they just did this whole thing in one night like what do we got to wait till tomorrow for Is there Well they changed it last year for Bronny and they were they probably made money off of it because die hards like myself i’ll watch it no matter what tomorrow what the [ __ ] yeah yeah jesus Christ i will not be tuning into that 35’s a big I’m telling you 35 will definitely play and yeah I’m tuning in potentially so second round I don’t even know if I’ll be home I think and the clock’s also a lot shorter I think it’s like a two minute or three minute clock in the second round I think it’s two minutes 230 or something like that like how how is this taking so goddamn It’s 10:44 and it’s the 22nd pick especially when the And especially when the first two picks were known right like should have been like three pick let’s go greg Malikica looks great tonight okay I’ll take your word for it oh man she might look great and then she opens her mouth and I just it terrible well listen somebody in somebody invented a mute button and I use it for Kate Scott all the time they definitely did invent the me button that’s for sure she’s the reason why oh if you want if you want a fun watch just get a little volume up right now on Philly’s postgame ricky B and Michael going nuts they’re going at it yeah dog saw me when I went upstairs to the go to the bathroom so he was like no he wanted to go check Can’t blame him though he’s good damn Drake Pal that’s high i love the way the board’s falling right now for us absolutely love it he was your 43rd 43 like I love the way the board’s falling right now this looks great it is obviously Jace Richardson makes no sense on our team but I think every other guy in this tier makes somewhat sense nick Clifford is like fits like an glove as Newell is another guy I think fits shots questionable but he’s a forward that guards yeah and honestly I feel like a feric player comp would be like what Yaboo gave us last year so I think that makes sense mcneely just shoots the [ __ ] out of the ball and I think was on a pretty bad Yukon team and I think when he plays around good talent is much better than he’s given credit for yeah a local kid he was expected to do a lot of playmaking and creativity right you know what I mean like and that’s not his game i’m talking about McNeely i I have real questions about Rashir Fleming i watched a lot of St joe’s games because I had a buddy on the team and I had Derek Simpson’s one of my guys so I I have real issues with Fleming through the A10 tournament and through the end of the year he disappeared when he was supposed to be like the guy right if you’re talking about you’re a first round he’s not first round pick no but if you’re talking about being a first round pick from St you better flash against you know what I mean against whoever the hell they were playing and he he he took a step back he was almost timid to the point where he didn’t want the basketball so now 35 it’s a completely different story right like you know like you’re talking about right the board falling to you and how pretty much any guys in this in your first round talent tier could be a fit at 35 I probably wouldn’t blink for Rashir Fle Fleming but if I’m a team here in the late first you better hope that you have a really good player development program for him now his athleticism and his size is really really good it’s just he he just doesn’t he didn’t play well when you need when they needed him to i mean it’s bad news when he’s got the ball in his hands i feel like Larry N Jr larry N Jr is the comp I had for him yeah he gave us the Irish goodbye i don’t know see you Buckets uh I think Larry Nanch Jr i think is a pretty fair competit glass cleaner yeah I do have my clubs though i do have my clubs i just can’t do it tomorrow morning [ __ ] that’d be fun where are you going uh I I don’t know i thought I’d ask but like tomorrow it’s not going to be 100 degrees busy all weekend so I got a PG tournament in Newark i got a coach oh nice off topic but who you like it uh I I don’t know James i haven’t to be honest with you I haven’t been really looking into the NHL yet as I say that I’m gonna probably be jumping on with the boys uh after dinner uh because I know we have a couple uh a couple first round picks i just I don’t want Here’s what I say though James i don’t want trading for Zegris to affect six right six you still take best player available even if it is a center and I hope they do right i hope they still go center uh if that’s the if that’s who they want and that’s the best player uh if you want to adjust and change your later picks uh because you have triggers because you just traded for Ziggress I’m good i’m good you adjusting there just you can’t you can’t adjust at six you got to take the best player available and I think they will it’ll be interesting no I I love that i love the uh I love drafts and I love the uh Flyers acting like they’re they’re going to be a player again yeah Donnie look at it it’s stupid right now it’s it’s hotter up here than it was in Florida i left Florida and it and I’m like I want to go back yeah i mean my my mom was my my parents live in um Fort Lauderdale and she’s like “Oh it’s nice down here it rained a lot today but it’s like in the 80s.” I’m like that’s the difference that’s the difference right in Florida right now you get that daily rain that cools you off for a little bit up here it’s just it’s just hotter than a nut sack yeah it rained a little bit like as I was coming out of work and I’m like “Oh my god it’s like 80 degrees it’s still it feels so good.” I was inside it was 100 degrees all day you’re really doing a commercial with Jake from State Farm showing out showing off his red suit what the hell is wrong with us should we get there jesus so they’re just putting up the Hawks trade number 23 unprotected 26 what are you What is that pel this guy Pelicans Pelicans hat right which is [ __ ] stupid and that Pelicans pick is like a swap with the Bucks so that suck yeah like that could be a ridiculous pick yeah and the Bucks are gonna suck i gotta adjust that will Riley laugh got picked right will Riley got picked yeah i saw that the Hawks are like they wanted uh Asan New It wouldn’t shock me if he goes right here oh for Yeah for them in the pick here that would be crazy they trade all the way back and still get him i did not think he would be here this late i mean I had him at 17 but most people had him like in the lottery which is crazy Danny had done more for Flyers in two years than Mory D yeah they neither of them have won though so we you know they both got that going for them uh Swoopie says Flyers are too [ __ ] inconsistent or the Phillies have two good weeks two bad weeks i mean yeah we still got to go this is only the start of the week still got four more games they can turn around win four in a row and be four in two in the week and we’re not even talking about it right no but the the Phillies do this [ __ ] where they just disappear for like a couple days and they’ll come back out and just roll off like seven straight wins good call Luke they picked Yeah wow okay yeah wow looks exactly the same look at his hair in the baby picture versus that one that’s funny i still like a lot of guys 35 how many p What pick are we at 24 so we got 11 picks left yeah 24 okc’s picking again guys don’t worry they won They won a title already had one pick in the first round here comes another one [ __ ] sick mcneely is like it’s crazy because he’s like a thin He’s 67 but he’s real thin so I don’t like defensively it would be a problem on our team but dude 35 if he’s there that’s way too late for him to be there i feel like you got to pull the trigger yeah Don Danny’s still there then round two is not today to right i might have missed tomorrow it’s tomorrow just round two though right yep yeah there’s only two rounds in the NBA draft they did it la they started it last year because of Bronny so they got all that like attention and they were like “Wow we made a ton of money off of this let’s do it again.” Yep unscripted you’re absolutely right there’s plenty of teams that are inconsistent yeah i mean Phillies despite all this still have what the top two or three record in the NFL they’re the second best team in the National League it’s like a half a game or some [ __ ] i mean Tempo I’ll I’ll go against you on that one i’ll go against you on on his last comment leave it to Daryl Moore to draft a like I agree with you he’s probably a highle role player but that is not a Daryl my like thing to do at all like that is totally not what Daryl my does daryl my believes in team building strictly in just how many stars can you get on the team at once so the fact that he actually did this I thought it was a smoke screen the whole time deep down just because I know how he likes to build teams this is kind of surprising to me all right the the Dodgers are two games up with the Phillies phillies are tied with the Cubs and and the Mets are a half game back of us yeah and the Mets are in a free fall so they Yeah they won tonight though did they yeah they’re facing the Braves right i think so and then we go to Atlanta after this right sounds right yeah I think so mcneely on the Thunder makes way too much sense stop talking in existence Luke i hate to say it it makes way too much sense they don’t need him to play defense he can just shoot it doesn’t even matter this is true so unfair that they get to do this it’s like ridiculous they were paraded on Tuesday on when or was Yeah the parade was yesterday yeah there was like 40 people there yeah exactly that’s about as many people that watched the finals no in the arena though they’re they’re uh their fan base is topnotch yeah I know they have one of the better environments in the league yeah are you watching ESPN this is Derek Queen McNeely New Flag and the guy they don’t show is a guy probably get drafted later on tomorrow is Nebard the other Nebard yeah i mean I don’t have a ton of confidence in him being a great like his brother yeah no I I hear you but drafted right all from the same high school all from the same area well no they’re not i mean not Mount Verie’s a a prep school so it’s not Yeah all from the same area i wondered if Liam was going to go back because of how bad a year it was for Yukon i wonder if he was going to be one of those guys that goes back and and tries to like help rebuild that i thought he was the punching bag of that whole thing yeah like they just didn’t have a lot of talent and he was by far the best guy on the team highest recruit and he did a lot of things he was not comfortable doing i don’t know i think he got a bad rep i’m not saying he should be a lottery pick but 25 is kind of low uh Ryan OKC has million picks in the next 10 years that’s why they’re set up for a long time throwing their process but when they win it all so many Oh they just traded this pick the Kings to the Kings i wonder what they got for that there’s your guy oh my god man [ __ ] they’re all They’re starting to fly off the board right now what a suit jacket that’s sweet looking at and oh my god he’s damn he cut out there for a second oh I’m saying his suit jacket rocking the suit jacket going to the Kings oh wow yeah that’s a money pool right there yeah that is a money shot if only he was wearing the hat it would actually match h I wonder I’m trying to figure out who they got for this see cuz if if they traded a few seconds or something and I’m the Sixers at 35 I don’t think Sacramento had another I don’t think they had another pick i could be wrong in the first round i don’t know maybe they did nick’s father named him after Dominique Wilkins that’s a good guy to name him after yeah yeah last time I checked he was pretty good at basketball he’s pretty good he’s pretty good damn jace Richardson just sliding i don’t think he drafted scared Timbo i don’t think he drafted scared at all i think he took what he thought was going to be the best player if anything he went out on a limb i don’t think he dropped his scared at all i I Yeah I I think he could have gone a lot safer by picking guys that could score the basketball yeah right i think the safe pick probably would have been Khan but again I really like Khan i think he’s gonna be really good like that’s a Yeah he’s gonna have a long career yeah he’s he’s gonna be he might be the longest tenure guy here he’ll still be coming off the bench me and Dond Don are going at it tonight it’s Luke versus the chat tonight yeah I don’t know what beef me and Don have though i feel like he’s just starting [ __ ] for no reason i’m I’m with it though i can argue with you Don Don yeah I mean A did say [ __ ] it but A is also sitting at seven not three right the price tag of that is a lot different too though Tempo right i mean there’s a price tag of three versus a price tag of seven it was five six or five or whatever it was yeah but regardless like it’s Utah nobody gives a [ __ ] about Utah nobody gives a [ __ ] they’re not they’re not heck up a million shots like they had the worst record in the league last year they don’t have like there there’s literally nothing i’m scared of Fleming i’m scared of I’m not trading up for Fleming i’m I’m taking him if he’s at 35 but I’m not giving up assets for him right now too much Fleming to understand that I’m not trading up for him i understand like people like his athleticism might get you there he’s got an NBA body for sure i’m just I’m just not there i would really look at uh I think Jace might go right yeah they need a scoring guard i could see that yeah they just got rid of Cole Anthony yeah I could see them picking him here mory should has lost his job yeah I mean we’re fine that’s I mean I’m not saying I’m a Mory guy but he’s not going anywhere category 4 is bricked up good for you bud not sure why no I was talking about Oh he was talking about Liam oh what you don’t want us You want him to be a Piston someone get this man some Diddy oil yeah it seems like it don Don I’m curious your thoughts too because I love Kate Cunningham more than anybody i was his biggest supporter even in college Oklahoma State love me some Kate Cunningham but where are they really going in the future cuz they’re paying Tobias Harris $30 million next year and like Malik Beasley was a really productive player for them but it feels like the surrounding cast they have around him are like older guys and I don’t really feel like they have an abundance of like draft picks either so like it’s good to know that like Cade is the guy because he’s definitely the guy but I don’t really know like what else is there around Jaylen Duran’s great love him loved him out of college he’s great philly area guy ivy’s Ivy’s coming back right ivy’s coming back from injury yeah he is but he didn’t I don’t know i just There’s not a whole lot of promise with him either i was high to him in college too um I just can’t take Yeah they do get off the Tobias contract this year but just like when I’m looking at it from a Sixers standpoint now we’re kind of deep enough into the off seasonason where like stuff that’s going to happen is at least heating up where you can see it coming a little bit i don’t know i I feel like even if Justin Embiid is out forever I feel like we should have a better regular season record than the Pistons from a talent perspective i just feel like we have more talent than they do and Kade is the truth i’m not denying that he is the man another cockrunner another cockrunner like if they did it I’d be happy because I don’t think it’s a reach but I don’t love it it’s definitely not a reach so slow reach no not a reach you pick you you hit it that Holy [ __ ] dude i’m two for two right now you know like I said before that [ __ ] that [ __ ] Bunner Sixers jersey will go nuts on the Wild absolutely insane yeah definitely not a carpet is not a reach but he’s just so slow i don’t know speaking of the Wildwood Boardwalk did you see Jason Kelsey rip off his into a into a bikini manini yeah awesome you see how skinny he looks he does he looks Yeah skinny man him and him and Bo doing yoga on the beach i love the I love the legend of Bo Allen what he’s turned into i love him dude he was only here for like three years i know that’s what I’m saying i love the legend that he’s turned into well him him being on like the Yeah I hear you there Don don I hear you there i wouldn’t be worried about him either i hear you uh so Tempo says a little early Ace W up being way better player than VJ he is all athleticism with a game that won’t translate unless he develops a shot or any offensive game besides transition well then he’s in the right spot Tempo right because the Sixers have a great developmental group team right between uh Rico Hines and Nick Nurse they know how to develop guys we saw it with Maxi we saw it with McCain we saw it with Grimes right we’re seeing it all over the board uh with the Sixers group so he’s in the right spot i I I was an ace guy all the way up until and I even thought today they were taking ace just because I thought they were going to call everybody’s bluff right uh but if you can’t sit there and see all the red flags that have come out just in the way he’s acting alone then I I don’t I don’t know what else that we could do right you you can you can not worry about the Rucker stuff all you want right you could say it was just a bad situation right whatever it is any excuse you would want to give him for for being on a Ruckers team that won 15 games right you could throw that out the door what he’s done in the last week and the way he’s handled himself his this last week to four days if that doesn’t give you enough red flags to pass on a guy I don’t know what else can do he’s done it all he’s done it all to himself yeah and it’s not even just like any team’s passing up on him it’s us and I’m telling you when there’s any team in the entire NBA who cannot afford to take on a personality like that it’s us cuz we’re battle tested like that and we’ve lost that battle way too many times so I’m not doing that again plus the other aspect of this is he’s going to average a lot more points probably than VJ Edgecom in his career sure so when he says Ace will be a way better player than BJ this is where I want to be very clear i think it’s very likely that Ace in his career in Utah is going to average 18 plus points a night that to me does not make him a more productive and would be a better pick than VJ that goes back to my Brandon Ingram thing if you put Brandon Ingram on his own team he’s going to average 20 points a night if you put Brandon Ingram on the Sixers right now what is he giving you like what does he offer i don’t know i don’t know how he fits the whole thing so I I just I just think it’s funny because I think in three years from now Ace will average like 16 to 18 points on that team and you’re going to hear people be like “Oh my god we should have picked him.” Yeah well one he wouldn’t be averaging 18 to 20 points on our team and two are those 18 to 20 points actually that valuable on a really bad team that’s where I say no yeah him him going off for 25 you know against the uh the Trailblazers on a random Tuesday when you’re 11 and 47 you know probably not going to hit as hard i think a realistic stat line for VJ and year one’s really hard because you don’t really know how much he’s even going to play but I think maybe like 14 14 five rebounds six assists and that’s a very productive well-rounded player and a guy who has all defensive first team potential and and forget potential i think he’s gonna walk into the league and be a great defender and we talked about this leading into it regardless of who we drafted right we didn’t necessarily need him to step in day one and drop 20 for us right because if all our guys are healthy he’s coming off the bench anyway it didn’t matter who it was whether it was Ace whether it was Trey whether it was I mean the only two guys that come in right away and start are Cooper and Dylan right there’s the only two guys that come in and step forward day one everybody else is coming off the bench if we’re healthy and if we listen to Daryl my it sounds like we’re going to be healthy to to at least start the year so all of these guys whoever we picked was going to be in a really good spot it’s just Ace decided to go all 18year-old teenage girl and just wanted to call his shot right um I’m good unscripted they did need a guard they just traded uh Cole Anthony uh so they definitely needed some depth they still need they need a lot of depth and I think he’s a great they need scoring guards too like Jaylen Suggs is in scoring yeah dang me and Dond down agree uh would you say Angel Reese from Ben Simmons ben Simmons i mean we know who you would pick yeah I’m good but uh 14 points per game as a rookie is expecting yeah I don’t think we’re No no no no no tempo i’m not saying that as a He’s not averaging 14 as a rookie i’m almost going to go out on a limb and say there’s no chance that he averages 14 i don’t think there’s any chance he averages 14 as a rookie i don’t think I think he’s gonna I think he’s gonna Yeah I agree i think he’s going to average under under 10 like I I’m saying I’m saying like in two years from now when we’re like okay it’s VJ’s time as a fulltime 35 minute per night starter i think he’s that kind of guy that I that’s what I think and I also think right out the gate he’s like uh Kase Wallace how he was for OKC how he came off the bench guarded the best player 94 ft gave him hell and was a shaky three-point shooter but made him when they really counted i think that’s VJ Echo but VJ Echo’s way more athletic than Kasem Wallace is kz I do love you some men i I’ll I’ll I’ll reunite reunited and it feels Yeah I’ll take it i am so good nope i’ll do it no hey hey cooper says we need a power forward we need a point power forward point forward i’d rather I’m I’d rather bring back Timothy Luaw Cabaro than bring back some TLC man no dude i am cursed for life i was literally at I was at game seven of the Hawk series on the baseline in the upper deck i cursed for life i on that ride home I was cursing up a storm at everything i’ll never forgive that [ __ ] guy [ __ ] him ben Sarif goes to Brooklyn they got backtoback picks i mean I know they had like seven in the first first round i love watching highlights goal yeah i love watching highlights though when you go “Yeah that’s a walk that’s a walk that’s a walk.” One two three four oh [Laughter] damn brooklyn’s drafted three guards and two of them are overseas so I don’t even Are they Are they all coming over right you know what I mean draft and stash baby well technically three guards drake Ba’s a wing right so no they wait no they have drafted three overseas guards nolan Trayor no they got Nolan Trayor too yeah yeah and Eigor yeah and Igor and they just drafted Ben they show Eigore from BYU so they have Yeah well he’s he’s overseas they have three They just drafted three overseas guards that’s wild you can’t reunite with them donny’s hoping for that Danny donnie and Danny uh Don what pick do you guys have i don’t even I think you said 37 oh my god 37 let me tell you if Danny’s there at 35 and we don’t pick him I’ll be pissed so I don’t see that happening don I hate to tell you did you have this i’ll get them all fired up again you had him number 31 sarf he had a 2025 Lonzo ball does that mean he’s not playing no just Lonzo i’m sorry lonzo no yeah yeah no lonzo he didn’t play right so how what what kind of what kind of comp is that Luke question the shot and but well when Lonzo came out of the draft he was way more athletic so I feel like that’s kind of where I’m going with that dom I’m sorry i Hey I’m trying to help you out dude there’s almost no chance he falls to 37 i’d be shocked so I’m trying to temper your expectation a little bit yeah see they’re calming him down he knows come on we’re rounding out the first round let’s uh let’s get back to the way we usually start shows let’s get to our poll question our poll question is brought to you by Bosio’s Bread we’re located in Mel New Jersey home of the best stuffed breads tomatoes pie sandwich a couple meatballs mention ATD radio for 10% off your in store purchase check out Bosier’s Bread in Mel i got to get up there while I’m up here i got to get me some Bajio that stuff is amazing their stuff Their stuffed breads are good stuff all right poll question uh oh Luke who they take i told you wouldn’t get him i told you wouldn’t take him don Don so there you go did Danny Wolf just go here to Brooklyn yeah he he just went yeah see you Donnie yeah planning at 35 seems like a possibility i can like I said I could live with it 35 mcneely makes no sense i’m sorry i get it it’s not a great fit and defensively we might be the worst defensive team of all time 35 he does not belong there we got to pick him up if trade up to Phoenix somehow that happens what would a trade to Phoenix look like for 29 you would probably two seconds at least two second round picks at least done at least can we give him Paul George and two seconds i really love co I love Kobe though i love Kobe Bray a lot and Tyrese Proctor Tyres Proctctor is a guy where like I just he’s my I we were live during the NFL draft and I’m like why is Jack Sawyer following like great player on a good team like I don’t like there’s no way he gets drafted in the first round no way probably won’t even get drafted in the first half of the second round but I just I’m in love with the guy great defender can shoot but he’s a guard and makes sense can’t believe this alien’s the commissioner of the NBA like dude don’t get me started on [ __ ] Dave Silver this dude is the absolute worst and he’s an alien he’s not even a human he’s a He’s a bot oh look at Danny Wolf no tie oh my god dude boston Boston’s going to pick McNeely aren’t they it’s it’s it’s match made in heaven it’s a match made in heaven they pick whoever I want all the time so it’s a match made in heaven it’s gonna happen whoever this Oh now Don wants our guy come on Don but where I was going with this real quick is like you trade up for McNeely just hypothetically right and then you come out of the draft with VJ and McNeely right so you get this dog right this role player and then you get the shooter that you were looking for in the Ace in the VJ or I’m sorry in the Trey and the Khan later on in the draft like I don’t know i don’t I find it hard to believe he’s he’ll fall to the second round one of these teams are going to pick him maybe I’m wrong i don’t know the Hornets might get him with the pick they just traded for uh Mark Mark Williams they might get Khan and McNeely now he’s trolling you kobe Bray what’s all my guys houston they traded Jaylen Green yeah they trade him green yeah uh Rainald at 35 who’s that is that European not a big fan oh Maxine Renault he’s a center i mean he’s really skilled like crazy high upside 22 old high upside i don’t know i I’m the more that the originally when I was like looking at it from a vacuum before the draft yeah when we were looking at it from just like a big board standpoint and how it might fall I thought we were definitely going to pick one of these centers but the way the drafts fallen at 35 I think there’s a lot of intriguing wing guys that I feel like you have to pick and there’s defin like all these centers have extremely high upsides on like project picks but some of these guys I just feel like can play right now on the wing and I think you can’t pass that up so let’s get to our poll question for the night uh you agree with the Sixer selection in the first round of the of the NBA draft agree or disagree let us know chat i know we’re usually start to show off with this but with a draft we decide to stick it into the second half and stick it here right at the right at the end of the uh first round uh I’ll jump off and I’ll disagree i like I like VJ right but I said it right there at at the pick uh I didn’t necessarily like it i can buy into it i can I can learn to like it but in the moment I wasn’t a fan uh it is safe though right as we talked to all all all things we know what we’re getting from him there’s a potentially some upside there especially offensively but no I I disagree i I I would have went Trey i would have went Khan at that point right i would have if I’m reaching for someone I’m reaching for someone that can score the basketball uh and that that’s or I just call everybody’s bluff and take ace right like that’s the way I would have done it just call the bluff you want them now you gota trade with me right like Washington you want them cool come come talk to me now that I have them right call everybody’s bluff and just say he’s mine right now my phone’s going to ring right so uh Oh my god is his brother crying oh my god i don’t want to like make too much fun of it because I don’t know the backstory of what they’re talking about but that was not a good cry on national TV uh so I disagree i don’t necessarily hate the pick i just don’t agree with it i disagree i disagree too um that being said I’m very excited about the mentality this kid’s going to bring i’m very excited about the person we’re bringing in here and I’m very excited about the project that he is and I’m very excited about that i know for a fact that this guy will just do whatever it takes to win basketball games and I’ve been clamoring for that forever so I’m excited to get like a young guy in here who has that mentality but that being said I just I love Trey Johnson i love him and even with the whole Ace stuff I I I would have picked VJ over Ace i want to be very clear with that just given everything that happened um but I I would have went with Trey just because I think he has the star upside and the fit with Trey sucks it’s not great but uh Tempo one of those guys is going Hugo just went to to uh All right come on we’re holding We’re holding out we’re almost there come on McNeely fallington sucks he might go back to another year he’s not He’s not going to the NBA there’s no way he’s going to NBA he’ll be in a G-League his whole career yeah KZ Day Jon was in that trade uh y um I’m gonna I’m gonna flip on myself i’m I’m going to say that I agree with the pick at this point i I I wanted Khan going into the draft i wanted Khan you know I liked the tape of you know I like Trey’s tape i like Khan’s tape a lot i like DJ’s tape because I was really just anybody but Ace coming in tonight i really didn’t care because I just didn’t want that guy i didn’t want him right so the fact that we took the guy who’s the exact opposite of Ace Bailey I’m all for it right i’m all for it at this point so yo he he can be that guy he’s going to run up and down the floor he’s going to play really good defense he’s going to dive for those loose balls he’s going to be that you know that spark plug that you can have off the bench um yeah maybe he’s not going to be able to drop 20 points a night or shoot six threes in a row right but realistically with the talent that we have around him we don’t need him to do that again assuming everybody’s healthy so hopefully what he’s able to do is just be able to continue to bring that same energy he had at Baylor um and then ultimately over the next few years grow into a guy who can you know step into the starting lineup in a couple years and give you you know maybe 20 points a night um but right now we don’t really need him to do that right now we need him to fill a void that we really haven’t had the last couple years of good guard play off the bench so when somebody like Maxi goes and sits down for 20 minutes or like 10 minutes a night we we need somebody to come on in and bring that energy and be able to run up and down the floor and you know make things happen so um do I think he’s the best player you could have taken at three no do I like the pick and what he can possibly bring and what he can grow into absolutely yeah no I I hear you there and I think James I think that’s perfect right i disagree but I’m not disappointed yeah i think that’s a perfect sentiment you know the cool part about what’s coming out in these press conferences that Daryl’s talking about that honestly is not just like bulletin like it’s not just stuff he’s throwing out there that I think is actually meaningful everyone that you talk to whether it was in the Sixers right now that they’ve picked him or like scouts and everyone they just go on and on about how hard of a worker he is and how great of a guy he is he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win and again at three it’s kind of hard to be like “Oh well let’s just pick the role player.” I get it i’ve been dying dying to get someone in here who’s not this flashy star who has all this attention cuz that’s what this process era feels like sure like get the guy with the most talent and it never works out because they feel they’re too big for the moment they’re too big for the team they’re too big for the city this guy is going to fit into whatever role it is and Daryl’s just gone on and on and on about like how great of a human being he is how hard he’s gonna work he’s gonna fit in like a glove and I like the idea of getting three guys who are all around the same age and just want to be here want to win and want to do it together to me is just exciting and I feel like that part of it we can definitely hang our hat on yeah and I think that part of it too Luke right it it allows you to like fall in love with this guy a little bit more right overlook his flaws a little bit right because you know he’s gonna grind but that like like we’ve seen with Maxi like we’ve seen with McCain like we talked about throughout the show right you’re gonna have a guy that’s going to work to get better it’s not like a guy coming not like a guy’s coming in here going I know who I am so I’m not changing no no no i know who I am so I got to change right i got to get better to make sure I stay in the league right and I think I think you know Tempo kind of right here he said VJ will be a good P good player borderline bust proof i just need a guy with more upside at three and I would agree with you there but I think that I think we found out that there that guy wasn’t in the draft really at three right all these guys that were that we were talking about at three all had a flaw somewhere right whether you talk about Ace and obviously all the red flags trey doesn’t play defense right who knows you know Khan was overshadowed by by Cooper right so what is Khan’s real game right being second fiddle to Cooper the whole time so you look at all these guys that we were looking for and there was always one knock or two knocks so it’s you take the guy that you think you can fit better with and the Sixers obviously thought that was VJ and the Sixers honestly the they’ve kind of catered to this style more than ever the last I mean you you joke about it but literally the only draft picks that have worked out here outside of Joel Embiid who’s like a generational talent that will never walk through the door ever again the only other draft picks throughout these 10 years of this process era that have worked here are guys who want to work hard markel Folz didn’t want to do it ben Simmons didn’t want to do it dil Okaffor was literally just like this is how I’m going to play i don’t give a [ __ ] what the NBA is now this is how I play and you have all the and even the stars you brought in like James Harden and all this like I’m the system i’m the guy i’m the team this is I’m not going to cater you’re going to cater to me i’m not going to cater to you right i’m not going to change my game and how I play i feel like getting guys in here that are willing to do that and also so young is a skill and that’s the only thing that’s worked here that is legitimately the only thing that’s worked throughout this drafting process has been getting guys that are willing to work yeah James you’re a good point when you build a team of good players with high character I was just going there that’s exa exactly showed that absolutely James yeah and people love to bring up like what Howie would do people love to bring up what Howie would do i don’t know if Howie would have picked VJ i think he would have picked either VJ or Trey because I think what Howie likes to do is be like “Okay you’re great at this.” But how hard are you willing to work let me tell you Howie would not have uh gone for this a [ __ ] he wouldn’t have put up with that for two seconds not a way oh and going in conference son of a [ __ ] he’s going McNeely and Khan that is crazy wow to go next to Dude that none of those guys could play defense lamelo I had very little faith he’d be there i’d be very little I had very little faith he would be there uh Tippo said “I can shoot the lights out my rec.” All right Kobe Brea let’s get it done all right so we had two disagrees that agree liam McNeely next off the board fleming Proctor left in your first round talent tier are these the last two picks clippers in Minnesota no there’s one more um 32 yeah yeah 32 yeah wait no isn’t there 32 no there’s 30 there’s 30 30 yeah one more all right so one of Fleming and Kobe will be there in the next round i think Kobe is a perfect fit fits like a glove so he’s going to go 34 one one last look at the big board fleming Proctor are your top available right now he graded i mean Proctor doesn’t make any sense for us we’re not going to pick Proctor so I don’t see it yeah i mean we could might as well we could but I I don’t see that happening it’s decision anything is possible anything is possible chaz Laneir too great shooter little smaller as we dive in here we still have over 200 people watching all over platforms hit that like hit that subscribe as we close out the show here if you’re on X throw me a retweet do me a do us a favor let’s have an algorithm right before we get out of here appreciate all you guys chiming in make your make your voices heard if you’re in the chat throw us a comment we’ll read it we’ll talk to you uh yeah Chad’s in the air they’re dubbing him uh they’re dubbing him VJ7 that’s his name nickname vj7 vj7 number he’s gonna wear yeah i don’t like it i don’t know if we’ve ever had a seven we have Mo Bamba i was just thinking about who was the last seven we’ve never had a seven i’m trying to think before that who are seven before james says how he would have traded back to five and still somehow have Harper Magic fall can’t believe Maxi or Mory signed PJ Tucker Daniel House Dwayne Deon all one off season didn’t lose his job yeah i mean Casey we can go on about that no it was worse than Dwayne it was worse than that the same thing dude whoa hello solid talent for sure i was just thinking the same thing heck yeah yes that’s Liam’s mom tempo wants Fleming or Ronaldo 35 oh yeah duh kyle Lowry thank you Tempo oh yeah yeah little little brain gap there i don’t know how yeah whoops kyle Lowry all four of them went in the first round that’s crazy from the Mont Verde from the 2023 2024 Mount Verie team that’s insane yeah they they went undefeated no [ __ ] but yeah we did miss miss a Tommy rant that’s for sure about Ace yeah he would have went nuts he definitely would have went nuts for sure kz’s dude’s still crying in interviews i I don’t know i probably would i ain’t gonna lie anyway you know how much money he just made good oh for sure for sure but you’re going to Charlotte to play next that’s fine greg you can’t make this up dude you cannot make this up on the six did they get picked who who got the Clippers take co Kobe twitter just ruined it for me again oh son of a [ __ ] no they didn’t take Kobe it’s not Kobe Fleming nah Needlehouser they took your boy they took Needlehouser gardenhouser rowan Carter get in there i can’t believe he’s a first round pick i mean I get why it’s a first round pick but I can’t really believe they wanted that extra year they wanted that controllable year yeah wow all right so we’re gonna have Fleming Kobe Brea oh sorry chaz Laneir he’s going to be there i like Cam Jones is interesting i don’t really know if he fits us very well at all i like the shake me some Shake Milton he I mean I only say he’s Shake Milton because Shake Milton like absolutely needs the ball in his hand and I feel like it’s kind of the same thing like Cam Jones he’s not nearly the shooter that Shake Milton was but Cam Jones needs the ball in his hand so I don’t really know i was at I was at game two of that Hawk series that we talked about earlier oh my god that was awesome game oh my lord that was phenomenal don Don of course wants Kobe or he wants the kid from Stanford what’s that is that Chaz Laneir no Chazir is from Tennessee i’m not sure oh it is he’s talking about who are you talking about i mean I I like Chaz Laneir chazir is a little small but he plays like a he’s a wing guy shoots the [ __ ] out of the ball yeah I remember that now yeah yeah but I think Kobe Bray is just a better shooter and defender wait until PG to pick a Yeah right or he just waits till PG leaves then change the eight uh Peter Purka to Utah with the Saber oh yeah he’s talking hockey sorry James didn’t realize you were talking hockey i I I think I I don’t mind the Mammoth i think they missed out though you could have been the Utah yetis i think the Utah Yeti would is a better name yeah then he could have named the uh place the Yeti cooler and just Yeah yeti yeah yeah then just free free advertising for Yeti maxine Raymon’s the guy from Stanford that’s a high upside that’s a Stanford name i don’t really think of it from Stanford because a very smart name stanford very I don’t know when like Stanford or Northwestern and somebody’s traditionally really smart schools are really good at any sport i find it more enjoyable because you know how they’re hard to get into yeah like when um No Andrew Luck got drafted out of Stanford that dude’s literally a rocket scientist yeah yeah yeah it was Penn State got a first rounder yeah figure that one out helps when you’re seven foot okay another guy coming out of the stands good for him i can’t Wow he’s there yeah imagine imagine sitting here in in Brooklyn on for the draft like unless I’m a lottery pick I’m not going to the draft like I’ll watch from home i’m not going to the draft there’s no But you get your moment though he gets this moment though that’s it that’s pretty crazy like that’s pretty cool don’t get me wrong dude you gota grab the hat dude you got to grab the hat you’ve been watching dudes walk up on stage all day and you forgot the hat i can’t believe he’s a first round a first round pick out of Penn State when’s the last time that happened lamar Stevens was he a first round pick i don’t think so i don’t think so wow i think we’re going to get Fleming it’s a very Daryl my like pick every year in the second round i know he just did this in the first round but he doesn’t normally do it in the first round he normally does it in the second round he just drafts like the most athletic guy available and just hopes it turns out that’s normally what he does it’s like the Raiders guy ever in Paul Reed a Dembona he loves just drafting like athletes and hoping they work out and it’s not it’s not a bad strategy no it’s not i just I don’t know i I just don’t I don’t love Fleming i like Fleming because he’s a great athlete but I just like Kobe way more yeah I I want to go back to the um go back to the what the Eagles do of just drafting guys from big programs so obviously these dudes are big recruits yeah give me the uh give me the guy that went to Kentucky instead of the guy that went to St joe’s more chat GBT right now who to draft yeah for sure charles Bast Spurs recently I think right yeah he’s still there is he nice yep yeah unscripted he could shoot but I don’t think he’s tall enough i don’t think he’s got the mobility enough to to be Ashworth from Kraton no bus is like I think he’s like 25 got like three kids no that was funny you’re just like “No absolutely not there’s no way i’m good dude that guy he is a minion.” And honestly it’s funny you say that i have like this going bit with my boys at school every time I bet on Kraton he Ashworth plays like [ __ ] and then when I bet against them he has the game of life i [ __ ] hate I hate Ashworth forever so I’m sorry i just had to buy That’s what I did with um that’s what I was doing with Tobias when he was here i would always bet his first quarter points over and his under for his game and he would usually [ __ ] me on that like he would get like five points and then like I needed like six in the first quarter he would stop at five and he’d go for like 25 on like a random night where somebody wasn’t like playing then like the one day where I did it the opposite he scored like 10 points in the first quarter and then went under for the game i I was literally at the game I was pissed tempo I I agree with you he’s like I think another guard is overkill but Laneir can shoot uh Laneir can be another Isaiah Joe and be a guy who can get hot on certain nights i agree the fit is questionable i like the prospect a lot but I like Kobe a little bit more because he’s a little bit bigger has a lot more like potential defensively and he can still stroke the [ __ ] out of the ball i like him three hours and 30 minutes for a first throw that was Wow is this a Is this a record uh lengthwise for a stream no I don’t think so no I think the NFL draft is probably long yeah I think we’ve gone like four or five once wow okay he is the first uh first round pick in Penn State history by the way there you go wow that’s crazy what did James said imagine sitting at the table down below a guy down below and a guy who played in China and Penn State player you’re at a table thinking you’re getting picked and China and Penn State come out of the stands yeah good good call uh Don Don good show thanks Donnie we will not be back for game for round two tomorrow i will not be tomorrow we will not be back uh the hockey
