FIRST TAKE | Stephen A. reacts to Windy’s underrated movie: Nickeil Alexander-Walker to Hawks

wind horse here wendy what is the most underrated move so far of free agency yeah I like to uh highlight what the Hawks did last night in getting Alexander Nikel Alexander Walker in a sign and trade deal from the Timber Wolves the Wolves really wanted to keep them but they had to spend so much money on resigning Naz Reed um and Julius Randall that they he just didn’t fit under their uh second apron so they were they were willing to participate in silent trade uh Alexander Walker has been a really important piece to the Wolves giving the conference finals last two years he has great length he defends he can play multiple positions he can defend multiple positions and when you’ve got a player like Trey Young you need to have you know defensive versatility to help protect him and that’s what the Hawks have built here especially with Dyson Daniels who they acquired last year in trade and now um Nikel Alexander Walker on the other side like the really the Hawks with a nice move here and they paid them an average of about and half million a year which is a really good number in today’s day and age for a quality guard like this he was probably of the unrestricted free agents he was probably the most desirable guard out there and the Hawks were able to get it done in addition to landing Chris for Zingas last week in a draft day move so really impressive nice move by the Hawks to upgrade their overall roster hawks sorry the Hawks last week also got the number one overall pick or potential number one overall pick in next year’s draft from the New Orleans Pelicans in that draft night trade going down a few slots in the draft but getting a hugely valuable and protected pick next year they have gone out and gotten guys who shoot the ball have length for for defensive purposes i think they got a chance to be a top four team in the east and are taking advantage of some of these other teams both inactivity and injuries across the conference the TR Young Invitational is over they are not a play team anymore this is a definitely a top four team uh in the East i said that Houston has been pitching a perfect game in the offseason hawks has been pitching a no hitter they’ve been incredible with all their moves getting the defense around Trey Young and that pick still trying to figure out what the Pelicans are doing this is going to be a lottery pick that they’re getting to add to that team next year which is good news look the Hawks have been good their defense has not been great bottom half of the league in defensive efficiency the last handful of years with these moves that obviously upgrades on the defensive side let’s go to the issues with the New York Nicks now because they still do not have a head coach but it doesn’t mean they’re necessarily not trying there’s been a lot of no thank you and no second interviews but it appears one candidate is worthy of interview number two and that would be Mike Brown shani is reporting that Brown is now emerging as a strong candidate for the Nicks after he was fired by the Sacramento Kings this year brown was also an assistant with the Warriors and a former head coach of the CS and the Lakers but now this opens up to a bigger question and I feel like we’ve been discussing this a lot and especially now that we’re in this free agency land is the Nick even a desirable coaching job at this point wendy what do you think absolutely it’s a desirable coaching job they have a top seven six or seven already built out installed they um are in the Eastern Conf where their their health as a team has enabled them to rise up the the ranks i mean they are in a better position than some of their other rivals just because they’re able to be healthy also Jayen Brunson’s willingness to take a lesser contract a year ago which was really an underrated move at the time is kept the Nicks out of the second April so that is going to enable them to continue to add to this roster i know it may not manifest itself in major free agent moves yesterday today or this week but they can do things in trades and things that other teams in their position cannot going forward and if you’re the individual whether it’s Mike Brown or somebody else you’re going to get paid a ton of money because they just fired a guy and made the conference finals and if and Mike Brown still owed $20 million by the Sacramento Kings he doesn’t have to do anything and he’s going to get a ton of money the next couple of years if they if he is the choice he’s going to have to get he’s going to get a ton of money for this this is it’s a high pressure job it’s a high expectation job and all that sort of stuff but it’s very good NBA job i know someone who disagrees with you i wouldn’t want to take this job now when you talk about the $20 million and all that that that means a little something too but in terms of all things being equal you’re coming into a situation where your expectation is championship or bust they made the Eastern Conference Finals they got rid of the coach and now you have to come in and take a team that is not a perfect team that has its flaws and you have to make it at least to the NBA finals that is a ton of pressure in New York City in Madon Square now mike Brown is somebody who has handled a lot of pressure you had to get coach LeBron and try to win a championship with LeBron he went to the Lakers uh with Kobe them did not quite work out when he went there but he he understands pressure the type of stuff that you have to deal with to get to this do this especially when you look at the fact that Tibs when he left the Nicks have not been able to find anybody that I can see as a better coach as a as a just an upgrade from Tibs from start to like I just don’t see it right and so when you’re bringing in somebody who is not going to get that excitement from everybody says this is better than the guy that we had and you have to make it to the finals that’s just a recipe for disaster no disrespect but that is a crazy take because if what this show is for if you are an NBA coach if you can walk into a team with this kind of talent with this kind of expectations with this kind of money coming to you that’s a nobrainer job to take it’s a great job it’s one of the best jobs in the league now it isn’t a job that comes without pressure or expectations it is going to be very difficult for a guy to walk in and succeed in this job because to David’s point what he’s 100% right on is the only thing that’s going to be successful for a team in for the Nicks next year for this Nick team is to make the NBA finals there is nothing less than that that’s going to be seen as a success when you look at the injuries across the conference when you look at the situation the Nick are in having fire time tibor for making the conference finals they lose in the first and second round that’s going to be a catastrophic failure who knows what the reaction that will be but if you’re a coach in the NBA there are very few opportunities where you can walk into a job with the kind of talent and situation the Nicks have the thing that’s ironic and interesting about this situation New York is in is typically every year there’s like one guy sitting out there that’s the obvious big candidate to go get right for this year for whatever reason that candidate was not there so the Nicks went and tried to get Jason Kid and Billy Donovan and Quin Snyider and they went down the list of these coaches that were hired by teams and employed by teams and those teams wouldn’t let them out so now they’ve gone through this process of waiting to see who they’re going to land i mean look we could look back on this a year from now and say the Nicks find their Joe Tory who 30 years ago got hired by the Yankees very similar situationter got fired they went a long time looking for a coach they hire Joy to go to the World Series and they win their first championship in a while if that happens no one’s going to remember how long this search took if it’s Mike Brown or somebody else and if they lose in the first or second round people are going to want to burn the garden down okay that’s like that’s what I’m saying like your expectation is I mean think about a couple years ago last year first or second round for this Nick was a good season now they’re going to burn Marquare Gardner if you don’t make the finals if you lose the play that is an intense amount of pressure you are a failure if you do not take a Nick team that has not been to the finals this century to the finals that is unreal press
that’s what the money’s for that’s right
that’s why you get paid all pressure builds diamonds right that’s the whole point of it the situation I just find confusing they’re not really able to make moves in free agency right now because they don’t have a head coach and what did Windy say in the first block today’s NBA needs to have depth and that is the one thing that the New York Nicks have none of i I wouldn’t necessarily quite go that far they’ve agreed to get Jordan Clarkson signed and they have their taxpayers level exception to go sign somebody else and this is a team that’s the cake is large there’s not a lot of stuff they’re going to do right now brian’s right they can make trades but they have their top seven guys they need to add a couple de That’s not enough well they seven is pretty close to what you need they have they’ve now added Jordan Clarks and if they sign one or two more guys this summer they’re going to feel good about what they have like to me it’s they don’t need to go out and fundamentally remake the roster like some of these other teams were talking really quick one player go ahead go ahead go ahead go ahead sh they don’t It’s not ideal to fire your coach after he’s just had your best season 25 years ok but if you don’t have a high draft pick and you don’t have a lot of money to spend in free agency it’s not the end of the world not to have your coach for those two things it’s not perfect but the Nicks haven’t lost anything with this really quick before we go to break here Wendy or anyone why aren’t they talking to Michael Malone that does seem like a candidate that’s floating out there that has not been at all in conversations with the next i don’t think that’s a perfect fit ok and we’ll leave it right there uh when we come back here on first take we are playing some quarterback temperature checks we are very far apart and other NFL are facing season xin chào tất cả các bạn đã đến với kênh YouTube của mình mình xin tự giới thiệu mình là người sáng tạo nội dung trên nền tảng YouTube mình sẽ mình à sáng tạo những video cắt dán đây đây là những sản phẩm cắt dán của mình đấy mình nội dung của mình làm trên kênh chính là cắt dán và đây là những sản phẩm mình đã cắt dán mà mình vẫn còn lưu lại này đấy những đỏ vặt của mình sẽ làm là những đỏ vặt động vật con vật rất nhiều những thứ khác mình không thể kể hết được đấy đây là một số những cái sản phẩm mình làm ra thôi và để tạo ra được những sản phẩm như thế này thì mình sẽ cần có những đồ dùng và dụng cụ như sau đây trên tay của mình đang cầm đây là là giấy thủ công nhá giấy thuộc công màu các bạn này nó có rất nhiều những màu sắc những màu sắc này mà kết hợp với nhau thì sẽ ra những sản phẩm tuyệt vời tuyệt vời cho các bạn xem nó có những màu sắc như là xanh lá cây này màu vàng này màu đỏ này cam màu xanh dương này còn nhiều màu lắm nhưng mà mình không thể hết được và để tạo ra được những sản phẩm đẹp và nhiều màu sắc như thế này như thế này thì mình cần có một chiếc kéo này một chiếc kéo và một chiếc bút này và hồ dán các bạn này và những công dụng của những này sẽ là bút thì sẽ là để phác họa vẽ những sản phẩm đồ vặt con vạt cho mình còn kéo của mình sẽ là để cắt cắt cắt ra những sản phẩm còn rồi mình sẽ dùng hồ dán dán trúng lại với nhau tạo ra những sản phẩm có nhiều màu sắc như thế này và như thế này nữa đấy màu sắc tạ đẹp luôn cho các bạn xem thì đằng sau của mình đây là chiếc chân kẹp điện thoại và chiếc điện thoại này các bạn ạ mình sẽ dùng chiếc điện thoại này để để quay lại quá trình mình tạo ra video còn đây là chiếc đèn hỗ trợ ánh sáng của mình và kênh của mình thì cũng đạt được thành tựu là nút bạc của YouTube rồi mình cảm ơn YouTube rất nhiều nha đã gửi tặng mình món quà thật sự là ý nghĩa này và mình cũng giới thiệu cho các bạn một chút là mình à cách của mình tạo ra video sau khi mình à tạo ra những sản phẩm như thế này như thế này như thế này và như thế này thì mình sẽ tải video lên của mình mình sẽ dùng phần mềm Camtasia để edit video đấy sau khi xuất ra thì mình sẽ tải lên kênh cho các bạn xem và các bạn hãy chào đón xem những sản phẩm mới nhất của mình nha và bây giờ chúng ta hãy cùng đi xem mình tạo ra những sản phẩm như thế nào nha những sản phẩm của mình chắc chắn sẽ rất chi là đẹp đây sản phẩm của mình rất đẹp mình xin chào bây giờ mình sẽ cắt dán các bạn nhá ch cá à đâu chiều này thì sang viên sau lên chiều này sau là chưa lên à lên chủ nhật thì đây á bắt để nó đến giờ nó là nó nó kiểu như mình 7:00 sáng thật sự nó mặc định như thế rồi bạn nọ đi nó ở con ma đố thế là trên bạn nhìn ấy nó thế bà ô bà đâu nhỉ bà đâu nhỉu gì đâu ôi đâu [âm nhạc] [âm nhạc] đánh Cắt mãi không được ngồi hoay Đ Chín khô bốn khô chín khô tôi này qui rồi

  1. Having survived the "Billy-Knight-as-the-Hawks-GM" days, it's awesome to see Atlanta making smart moves to build a well-rounded team. 👏
