Forget Anthony Davis! We don’t need another geezer. Trade Kuminga for Kneupel
as a denver fan, who was having the time of his life last night, I appreciate your accurate empathy 🙂 That was just the most fun ever – seeing all these young players have the game of their lives.
Trey Young values at an all time low. I'd be surprised if a contender actually called
The Trae segment was a bit of a head-scratcher… Let's not talk about the most likely destination (Washington) but instead talk about a trade to the Mavs, which makes no sense because 1) The Mavs already said they wouldn't want to receive Trae in a deal for AD, and 2) Kyrie is coming back…
The Charlotte/OKC game was surreal lol
29:35 sga is a scoring guard who has benefited with an all-time talented roster, but he's no offensive engine and has never been the mvp of the league, that award has become so meaningless
This dude hosting this channel needs to apologize to the viewers. He picked Denver to win the title who I still believe is gonna win the title when they get Joker everybody back they’re I’m not. I won’t be shocked if they end up catching Oklahoma City if they don’t lose too many games while jokers out watch what happens when they get all their players back, but this guy came on here and apologized for picking the nuggets to win the title because he said nobody could beat OKC they weren’t playing anybody to start the gear? I don’t know how anybody couldn’t see that they just weren’t playing anyone the league stacked the deck so they could run off that great record as soon as they start playing people they’ve started losing and now they’re losing the worst teams in the league.
I keep telling everyone. We are not trading Dray. Period.
Reliable big and Anthony Davis in the same sentence… Yikes
Why is the Wizards trade boring?
MPJs salary paid for entire bench and his replacement 😅! Probably the only reason why he got traded!
The most hyped.game of the week (Pistons vs Knicks) and zero covwrage. Thumbs down.
Just call this “western conference tonight”
Where is the Pistons talk? Are you high?
No! Trae to Dallas with Kyrie? Anyways, Trae has very little trade value now. Forget AD, they'd be lucks to get Lively for him. No one really wants Trae, his metrics are bad, and small guards with bad motors are not in demand.
How are you going to talk this long about Philly being good when we all just watched them lose that game to the Denver bench?
Why in the world would Dallas want Draymond over AD with his contract? Draymond is a complete hole as an offensive player. They're gonna trade AD for young talent on their first contracts, not for a 36 year old non-offensive player with a massive contract.
Nuggets without not only 5 starters but Valinchunas & Hardaway…7 of their top 9 guys! And yes we have almost never been more proud of our team over a regular season win… arguably the best in my 40+ yrs as Nugs fan factoring everything in.
I haven't been a basketball fan my whole life, so I've never experienced the NBA equivalent of a bullpen game win until last night. I reacted to my Nuggets winning like it was a finals game. I wanted it so badly! 😂
Im still wondering… what was the point of jimmy butler? did he come to gsw to shoot free throws and to try and be an “offensive hub” or be a secondary shot creator/drive close outs? I just wish he was more aggressive as a scorer
MAILBAG: Jason, I always look forward to your takes. I appreciate your love for the game as it helps me develop my desire to watch it. I'm a frustrated Brooklyn Nets fan that's pissed with the staying power of the New York knix. We should've won a championship, but KD's foot… let me not digress.
You talked about the suggestion that the Warriors make an all-in move for Claxton and MPJ. I honestly agree with that and thought the 76ers should've considered it before the season started. But it leads me to consider that the Nets, IF we can find an All-NBA player, not necessarily a player as great as Steph, we could catapult ourselves into the Playoffs.
Is there a dream player I should desire? Or how about a player-type in theory? I'm thinking dropping someone like Donovan Mitchell would make us tougher than Cleveland right now because we're not a soft team.
Keep up the great content
The OKC issue is they can’t rlly shoot. They’ve been hot this year but they don’t rlly have shooting. Caruso dort dub Chet and even Shai to an extent aren’t great shooters. And the defense they play is based on physicality and fouling u every play down the court. But when ur not making shots u don’t defend as hard and thats whats been happening
Clutch refresh pull 🙏🏻
Didn’t Dallas say they ain’t trading kyrie so how does Dallas make sense for Trae that’s horrible
First time watching you. Was hoping for some fresh takes. None. Also, no segment about the Knick's v Pistons game? Really? Top 2 teams in the east play and there was ZERO discussion about it? That's just stupid lol.
How in the world did the Nuggets win that game v Phila last night? Down all 5 starters plus Big Val and Hardaway Jr. on the 2nd night of a back to back near the end of a brutal 7 game EC road trip in the middle of the most dispiriting and ridiculously injury riddled stretch of the Jokic era. That was the picture of the triumph of will and want to. Denver fan but I've always felt bad for Philly fans and what they've had to endure through the Process. Last night must have felt like rock bottom. One of the craziest games I've ever seen.
Mailbag: wsp jason, longtime fan of the show.
Before the season you said the hawks would be a case study for your basketball philosophy and that their performance this yr would either validate or invalidate your perspective. So my question is has atls szn so far changed your mind in any way?
Pt.2
When I’ve disagreed with you over the yrs it usually comes down to the idea that I think you put too much value on the marginal advantage players have in surgical half court execution – and that you do so at the expense of general two-way versatility/impact. So the second question is, do you think there’s any credence to the idea that you (and/or the general hoop community) have undervalued two-way versatility/impact?
Thank you for the Portuguese audio 🙌🏾🇧🇷
Imagine Luka and Trey Young (who will forever be connected) on the same back court defensively 😢
Dallas did draft Trey, but I would not do that trade if I were the Mavericks with Kyrie to come back
Also they were missing Hardaway too all resting on a back to back
Do the Mavs not have Kyrie ? Why tf would they trade for Trae
Trae Young would fit perfectly in Sacramento, where bad contracts are laid to rest.
Nuggets entire playoff lineup is out. Like no argument, the top 7 were out. Only PWat and SJonea would get playoff minutes at this point. That was fantastic.
Now I want to go to Valvoline.
Trae Young and Kyrie Irving makes no sense
Jasons one flaw is he’ll never give up on the warriors, i dont get it😭😭😭
My guy said trade Naz Reid and Julius for Trae…
Will OKCs rebounding woes go away when I-Hart gets back?
👉👉👉 Giannis and Trey to Nets!
And surround them with role players. Nets can give plenty of draft picks to both Bucks and Hawks
Hornets beat the ** out of them
I hope Young goes to the heat. 😂😂😂😂😂
You need to adjust yourself my guy. Spend a lot of time ensuring great analysis, yet the disparity is insane. You spend more time talking about the one negative Luka has in a dominant win, but SGA shoots like shit and you blow it off no big deal, he gets no rebounds and you mention the teams problems, he gets PULLED FOR SHIT DEFENSE and it’s crickets. That’s a strange biase based off how much you slam Luka. He just dusted the hornets but the “MVP” gets embarrassed and played off the court and it’s swept under the rug. Embarrassing.
What rim MPJ ever protected that MF don’t play defense he got yall fooled in Brooklyn yall forgot he’s an injury prone turnstile
Trae Young to Brooklyn
