Hello everyone and welcome back to Nothing Wooden. And today is the big day. Today is the NBA draft 2024. So today we're going to be live reacting to it and we have our mock drafts. We're going to be saying every pick, we're going to be saying our reactions to every pick and we're going to have some shorts in there. So hope you guys enjoy the episode. And right before they start the draft, right before the clock starts, we're just going to be talking about well, yesterday a big trade happened yesterday.
Speaker 2:I don't even know what that trade is yeah, mikkel Bridges is going to the New York Knicks, doesn't have to move that much. Also, the Rockets got in the match, did a big spot and, uh, the Nets got a lot of picks from the Knicks as well and I just think this is genius GMing from Sean Marks of the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, because, if we think about, back in February of 2023, they traded Mikkel Bridges to, or they traded Kevin Durant to, the Phoenix Suns for Mikkel Bridges, cam Johnson and four first-draft picks, and now they flipped Mikkel Bridges to the Knicks for five first-draft picks. So in return for Kevin Durant, they got nine first-round picks and that's his genius D-Evans.
Speaker 2:That's what called trading away Kim Johnson, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they're going to, so they're going to get at least one or two more.
Speaker 2:Oh, they might do it tonight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think it's going to be one because, as we know, kim Johnson has had his health concerns. He has had his health concerns. He's never played more than 60 games in his career, so he has injury concerns. But I think they can still, because he's a fabulous shooter, amazing shooter, especially for a big man. I think that the dallas mavericks can look for him. I think maybe even the sacramento kings can look for him absolutely. But now, as we see here, the atlanta hawks are on the clock, so I'm gonna let everybody share their pick, starting with Kai. Who do you have going to the Atlanta Hawks in number one?
Speaker 2:For number one, I have Zachary Rashida.
Speaker 1:You have Zachary Rashida going number one.
Speaker 2:Yes, I do.
Speaker 1:And do you know what?
Speaker 2:I just feel like he's the perfect fit for Atlanta. You know what I'm saying? I feel like, because they do need defense, they do need someone to hold it out, and I do think that Zach is the one to do that.
Speaker 1:So for me personally, I think that realistically, I think that they take Risa Shun, but I think that the best fit available for the Atlanta Hawks it's Alex Sark, because we saw all the season long they cannot continue to play with conflict, with click a pillow at their starting center, and I think that this guy brings a defensive anchor to the atlanta hawks. He's very versatile, he can guard the perimeter, he can especially guard the interior. But I do think that realistically, they take resusher because of the fact that um alexar has expressed he does not want to go to Atlanta and he has not stood up to any of their workouts.
Speaker 2:I absolutely see where you're coming from. I actually picked Alex Saar because I think that he is the best fit for Atlanta and I think also one of the main reasons they struggled last year is because their defense was not very good, and Alex Saar will fix that, especially in the interior. And they could also trade away Claycombella and maybe well, maybe Claycombella and try to get back maybe draft capital or maybe more young players or defensive pieces.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. But I mean, I just think that it's really stupid that Alex Saar does not want to work out with the alina hawks, because who has the number two overall pick? The washington wizards. So he would rather play with jordan pool as his point guard then, trade, then trade young, who's averaged 10 assists for game both years last two years, and um, he would make alexar's life so much easier, because I don't think you guys understand how much of good looks Trae Young gives his teammates.
Speaker 2:So after that I think that Zach would be the best choice, but I also think that Alex Sarr could fit with that squad. I feel like it does get to a point where your own media is like to say it was like the same that goes on the on the court. You know I'm saying so I do feel like. I do feel like alexar could fit in there yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But you know who's a sneaky pick to go number one, donovan clinging. Now, as we all know, the atlanta hawks. They're not trying to rebuild, they're trying to contend with tritium, and I think that bringing in, like Cole said, you need a replacement for Klinka Bell and you need interior defense. So I think, yes, alex Sark, oh, they just made the pick, but oh, they just made the pick, but so yeah. So I think bringing Alex Sark could be a defender, but also I think that Donovan Kling could bring a winning mentality, because he was just a national champion with UConn. So it could be Klinge, it could be Rizashe, it could be Saar, but you got Rizashe.
Speaker 2:I got.
Speaker 1:Saar, I think all of us got.
Speaker 2:Saar.
Speaker 1:So here we go. The pick is in Time to see who the Atlanta Hawks select with the number one pick in the 2024 NBA draft. I think that Alex Saar, what makes him special, is the fact that, yes, he is 7 foot, but he can guard the perimeter. How many 7 footers do you know can guard the perimeter?
Speaker 2:Do you want me to know? Well, I mean?
Speaker 1:I mean of like, not alien generational prospect players. Hey guys rate who's fit in the comment section. Here we go. Adam Silver, I would assume, Like a Landry Fields in the Atlanta Hawks' war room. They know what they did Quinn Snyder? Why is Quinn Snyder just stroking his hair back? I don't like that Pick is in. Oh my goodness. Remember last year when the draft happened. Oh, Adam Silver, they just kept throwing the goodie and time to act. It was so funny.
Speaker 4:With the first pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks select Zachary Rizashe from Lyon, France, and France's JL Borombris.
Speaker 1:I did not see this coming.
Speaker 2:But when you look at it, At the same time you kind of did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because Alex Starr just kept skipping his workouts.
Speaker 2:Rizal said, but the kids aren't both ways. I'm not mad at this pick. I'm not mad at this pick at all.
Speaker 1:You know what? Yeah, he's a great shooter, but Alex Starr had generational defense. And I not saying that Risa Shea's defense is bad, but it's just not as good as Alex Starr's was. And Alex Starr can shoot and you can do all the things that Risa Shea can, and he's three inches taller and he has big defense. This is not a home run pick for the Atlanta Hawks. I don't like this pick for the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 2:It was kind of the only pick they could have made because you know Alex R wasn't really going to be content with being in Atlanta. You don't want your brand new number one pick to already want out that new way to tell.
Speaker 1:So no, I think we already can 1000% say Alex Saar is going to want to function the number two. But oh man, I don't know how I feel about that for the Hawks, because you know, I guess this means DeAndre Hunter's gone.
Speaker 1:I guess, I guess I mean, but also I know that Alex Starr wanted to play the power forward and Atlanta Hawks, their second franchise player, is a power forward, absolutely so Jalen Johnson. I mean, maybe Jalen Johnson could transition over to the three, but I understand the resushering pick but I don't understand to the three. But I understand the resource tree pick, but I don't understand it at the same time. I guess It'll grow on me, but We'll see.
Speaker 1:This was definitely not the best year to have the number one in front pick, but yeah, it's okay. So, yeah, let's talk about the Mikhail Bridgetree.
Speaker 2:I personally think that was just a great movement, great choice. You know what I'm saying. I feel like they have a lot of. I feel like Mikael Bridges, jalen Suggs, jalen Suggs, jalen Brunson, jalen Brunson my bad, you know just all four of them. They just have such great chemistry, such great. I feel like they're're gonna play really well together next year.
Speaker 1:We're gonna see great things from them they're doing the power of friendship to win an nba championship. Oh yeah, that's kind of crazy, but um, when you think about who's the best team in the nba, obviously the celtics right now. The celtics right now who are the celtics two best players?
Speaker 2:uh, jason tatum and jayla brown. And what positions do they play? Small forward and shooting guard.
Speaker 1:And what positions do the best defenders of the New York Knicks play?
Speaker 1:Small forward and shooting guard, Mikkel Bridges, and OG on an OB can give Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown the work. Now I'm not saying that they can lock them up because they're fantastic offensive players Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are but I think that this could possibly be a real contender in the Eastern Conference Because they got injured this year that's why they didn't make the conference finals but they could be a real threat to beat Boston. What do you guys think about that?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I'm still kind of concerned about their interior Because we don't know if Isaiah Arnstein is going to resign and Mitchell Robinson is extremely-hmm, yeah, and Mitchell Robinson's extremely injury prone, yeah.
Speaker 1:So Pick is in for us.
Speaker 2:I think that they fix that in this draft, but at the same time I don't know if they will fix it, mm-hmm, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:So with my number two pick, I think I know where you guys are heading For me personally, I think that they're going to take Bronny James with this pick. Absolutely, I'm obviously joking, alex Starr.
Speaker 2:Alex Starr is going to the Wizards.
Speaker 1:Why are they showing Bronny, please don't? Please tell me. No one saw that. I saw that. Look at them. Why are they showing Bronny? That's insane. Skinny jeans, baggy jeans, flare jeans they're actually showing up in the NBA draft. That's crazy, but talking about the. Wizards. They just made one of the most idiotic trades I've ever seen, absolutely, and that just describes the Washington Wizards.
Speaker 4:They traded.
Speaker 1:Denny Avdia, who showed extreme promise last year to be their franchise small four. They would have Bilal Koulibaly and Denny Avdia as their wing duo and I thought that was great. And then they trade him for Malcolm Brogdon, who's 30 years old and the 14th pick.
Speaker 2:I think that what they're going to do with that 14th pick is potentially draft a Kyle Kuzma replacement. Okay, so Kyle Kuzma to Sacramento please, Hopefully, but I think that if you're going to do that, you see like there is a player that you want to draft in the 14th pick and or also you see Malcolm Brog, malcolm brogdon as a potential like uh, draft capital choice?
Speaker 1:well, I don't think. I don't think that they would draft the kyle kuzma replacement with the second pick. I think that they just put the pick in. Yeah for alex, I think alex star is gonna be that that guy, um, but if they draft, maybe, a Jordan Poole replacement, I don't, yeah, I don't think that. I think it's impossible.
Speaker 2:I think that Jordan Poole works better when he has a good point guard. I don't think he works good as a point guard.
Speaker 1:Like a.
Speaker 2:He works good as a bench microwave scorer I mean we saw him best in Golden State in the 2020 finals when he was coming off the bench and he had like a good team around him.
Speaker 4:That could just.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna tell you to shut up, but Adam should be at the podium right now. Alex Saar to the Washington Wizards, alright, I mean, I mean this is such a shocking pick. I could have never expected this. Alex Starr 19 year old 7-5, big fan jumping the dummy, hard-draft guru 6-6.
Speaker 2:Both from France.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, and so is Bilal Koulibaly, bilal Koulibaly's, from France also. So that's shooting guard power forward duo. They got Jordan Poole at the moment.
Speaker 2:I see greatness coming from this.
Speaker 1:But yeah, cool, as you were saying, do you think that they should draft?
Speaker 2:I think they should draft Because I don't think Alex Sarr is going to be the Kyle Kuzma replacement. I think they might draft someone at 14 for who who will be the Calacubna replacement. Um, I honestly think that what they should do, like going back to Jordan Poole, they should probably move like try to either have him come off the bench as a two or find a place for him in the starting line because he does not work as a pointer.
Speaker 1:I can agree with that. Yeah, okay, I think that they're going to trade because I think that they're going to go into a rebuild, obviously. So I think that they're going to trade Tyus Jones because he could have been that great point guard and they didn't really play him that much so and he deserves to be on a contender, so I think that they're going to take him. Um, I think that they're going to trade him. So, yeah, I could see them drafting the point guard to be. Yeah, I can see that. I can see that happening with that.
Speaker 1:Maybe isaiah collier maybe that could be an isaiah, maybe rob dillingham, absolutely. But yeah, I mean, I love this pick for the Wizards. I think that he's the best player in this draft. I think that he should have gone number one overall these guys messed up. I'm going to take Risa Shea.
Speaker 2:I honestly think that Risa Shea would have been a better fit for Washington than Sar is.
Speaker 1:And I think that Alex Sar would have been a better fit for Atlanta than Reese Ashe is. But Alex Sar did not want to go to Atlanta. You know, what's funny is that when he moved to the US, he lives in Atlanta. I know that's insane, you really know. But so he wants to play with Jordan Poole instead of Trey Young. Like, I don't know, maybe he sees more upside in Jordan Poole. There's no way anyone sees more upside in Jordan Poole than Trey Young.
Speaker 2:But so far this is pretty good so far.
Speaker 1:Watching out for the Rockets. I think that they can make a trade. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Who do you guys think the Rockets are taking? I think, if the Rockets don't trade which I don't think they will I think that they're going to take Reed Shepard.
Speaker 1:You think that they'll take Reed Shepard?
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Why have?
Speaker 2:Nicole and Tokic.
Speaker 1:You have Nicole and Tokic going three Going three. I don't like that.
Speaker 2:Why don't you like that? I think Reed Shepard is a better fit, don't you like that? I think Reed Shepard is a better fit because he the Rockets they have Fred Van Fleet as like their starting point guard. I think he works well, but he is getting older and I think Reed Shepard is kind of like a Fred Van Fleet type in which, like, he'll get you a lot of assists.
Speaker 1:Are you forgetting the number four pick for the Houston Rockets last year? A lot of assists. Are you forgetting the number four pick for the Houston Rockets?
Speaker 2:last year. They drafted their franchise point guard last year, Ahmed Thompson. I still think that he can still work in Houston's system and still learn off of VanVleet and kind of be kind of like a VanVleet type player where he racks up assists and stuff, which is why.
Speaker 1:I think they'll draft him or they trade him for Kevin Durant, yeah, uh, but I think that, um, I think that they take Donovan Klingin because, yes, they have their franchise player. It's Alperen Senghune. But what is Alperen Senghune's one weakness defense and physicality and what is Houston trying to do? Win. But what is Alperen Sangun's one weakness Defense and physicality and what is Houston trying to do? Win. And what is Donovan Klingin? A physical, defensive interior defender who's won a national championship. I mean, it's all matching up. But I would not be surprised if, by the end of the day, marcus Smart is a Houston Rocket. Okay, because the Grizzlies were extremely they love. I don't think I've seen a better player team fit than Donovan Klingin to the Memphis Grizzlies. So I wouldn't be surprised if Memphis trades up and grabs Klingin.
Speaker 2:Well, obviously Rockets make a sense. I wouldn't be surprised either, but I don't think that they have to. I think they drafted Nikola Topic and he has the IQ, he has the playmaking, he has an ideal size. I think he can play alongside with some of the other guys in Houston and they can slowly mature and become a great team in the NBA, with obviously some future trades coming up, but not big movements.
Speaker 1:I just don't like the idea of Houston grabbing another guard.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, I see that because they have their Allman Thompson.
Speaker 1:Allman Thompson and I guess Jalen Green could come off the bench or Reed Shepard could come off the bench, as sort of like a microwave score, obviously.
Speaker 2:I kind of like Reed Shepard being kind of like a second-line guy where he'll be leading the bench group and kind of like Reed Shepard being kind of like a second line guy where he'll be leading the bench group and kind of because his playmaking is really good, he can shoot the ball well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's the best shooter in the draft. So yeah. I mean, yeah, I think.
Speaker 2:Houston can use that, I guess.
Speaker 1:Come off the bench and just shoot five threes. Oh, adam's, over to the podium. This is the one pick that I'm not really seeing. Reed Shepard goes to Houston, all right, so Cole was right about that. Yeah, reed Shepard going to Houston. I'm not sure that he's still going to be a Houston Rocket by the end of the day. Kevin Durant, kevin Durant. Kevin Durant is a Houston Rocker by the end of the day, kevin Durant, kevin Durant.
Speaker 2:Kevin Durant is a Houston Rocker.
Speaker 1:I guess we'll find out by what pick 20 or whatever the Suns have. And I know that he has been beyond below average for every single month of his career, except for the month of March of 2024. But I don't think that Jalen Green should move to the bench. Rob Dylan, you have Kentucky teammates, let's go. Why is Rob wearing glasses? Come on. That just takes away all his aura.
Speaker 2:There's some shifty glasses. That adds to aura, in my opinion.
Speaker 1:What you think. He has shifty glasses.
Speaker 2:Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I mean aura, in my opinion. Well, you think he has shifty glasses? Yes, absolutely. But yeah, I mean, ah man, you know, I really wanted reed shepherd to go to um san antonio. I think that would have been a perfect fit.
Speaker 2:I could see this coming, but I didn't want it to happen man, it is what it is like, with them said I don't know if he's gonna be a rocket by the end of like today, but it is what it is and um, yeah, I mean san antonio's up next.
Speaker 1:But yeah, jalen green, ahman thompson, that's their backcourt. And they have fred van vliet and they have all these guys. It's just the reed shepherd pick is confusing. But if, if, like cole says he can come off the bench, just shoot five three-pointers, make them all be a bucket getter off the bench, I can agree with that if that's how they use them and I think that Emil Odoka is smart enough to do that. But yeah. San Antonio time. Who you guys got?
Speaker 2:I got Stephon Castle. I have Ron Holland.
Speaker 1:You have Ron Holland going forward. I have Reed Shepard. They're comparing him to Devin Boker and Chris Paul.
Speaker 4:Insane comparison.
Speaker 1:That's it. And Steph Curry, what? And Kobe Bryant? Who is this guy?
Speaker 2:You should have got number one.
Speaker 1:I watched him. He played in college basketball. He is not the combination of all those players. I mean, yeah, he can shoot the ball, great 's a great defender, he's a great playmaker, but like that doesn't always go to the nba yeah but I mean, I like this pick rafael stone. He moved up in the draft room to take reed shepherd, number four. You got to flood castle, why?
Speaker 2:um, because the spurts kind of need a point guard that can kind of work with Victor. I know that he's kind of been adamant of playing point guard and that like he won't go to a team that's not going to have a point, but I think that he will work with Victor and just like be kind of that point guard that the Spurs need in order to elevate the team and Victor and just just like get that offense going.
Speaker 1:I'll see what you say. I have Rude Shepherd going. Uh, I did have Rude Shepherd going, but now I think, since they need a point guard, I think that they would take Stephon Castle, but I, because he just feels like a Spurs player. They need they like gritty defensive guys and he's one of the most gritty defensive guys in the draft. He is a point guard and he's a winner. He just won the national championship last year, so I think San Antonio is gonna take him. But I would have loved to see Reed Shepherd, because they need a point guard and they also need a movement shooter. Reed Shepherd is a combination of both of those things. But Sneaky pick, rob Dillian.
Speaker 2:So, kai, you have Ron Holland by Just because, like you know, I think Victor Omidyama needs someone another strong, big next to him. He is extremely athletic, he can rebound, he can play a little bit of defense. He can't shoot free throws, but really he can drop fouls but he can't shoot free throws. That's his only real weakness.
Speaker 1:I mean shooting in general.
Speaker 2:He's shooting in general. He's shooting in general, yeah, but if you're going to draw the foul, make the free throw right.
Speaker 1:Because his jumper. I'm going to recreate it, it's like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but he's a strong dude who, I believe, can obviously play. That's just inspiration. I just feel like they can play very well together and they also have the 8th pick, so I think they can also take another. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:You know what's crazy about this Brooklyn Nets, I mean this Houston Rockets pick, is that's not even the Rockets pick. The Brooklyn Nets should be taking this pick, but they traded that for James Harden.
Speaker 2:so I mean, I mean they did, they got their picks back.
Speaker 1:Cooper fly to the Houston Rockets? Maybe, I guess. But yeah, the pick is in for the San Antonio Spurs. Time to see who they get. I think it's going to be Stephon Castle, but I would not be surprised if they take you know what would kind of be tough Donovan Cleen, Donovan Cleen.
Speaker 2:I think, if they don't take castle, they might take topic topish or topish.
Speaker 1:Nobody's scoring in that paint if it's victor and donovan clinging no, they're blocking every single shot. But um, I think they're gonna take stefan castle. Stephen a smith is yapping right now and bob myers wants none of it.
Speaker 2:I mean I wouldn't want any of it too. Just wait until the next pick. We're going to have to hear him yap for a long time.
Speaker 1:How about the Detroit Pistons? How about the New York Knicks? Oh yeah, 13,. Sacramento Kings? Oh yeah. Notice how this Congratulations to the NBA champion, boston Celtics. That's why we have the green and that's obviously for the Kings NBN, nothing but net, but yeah who do we have Ron Holland, stephon Castle, stephon Castle, but honestly, I would have loved to see Stephon Castle with LaMelo Ball. I think that would be one of the perfect picks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that would be one of the perfect picks. Yeah, I think that would be good, but I don't think he's falling in shot.
Speaker 1:I don't think Detroit picks him. So I think if he doesn't get picked by the Spurs, he's getting picked by the Hornets. But I think, I think they selected Stefan Castle. You got the notification. Don't spoil that, bro. Don't spoil that bro. Don't spoil that bro. Don't spoil it. So they take him to Flawn Castle. I guess I like that. He just feels like a very Spurs Greg.
Speaker 4:Popovich player. He just feels like, yeah, stephon Castle, he would have been so perfect with the Malabalo, I don't know. 24 Big East Freshman of the Year, a unanimous pick.
Speaker 2:You see Dan Hurley right there Next. To. Michele Miano in the.
Speaker 1:NBA. I don't know if y'all know football like that, but he looks like CJ Stroud. He does look like CJ Stroud, yeah With the dreads. Stroud, he does look like CJ Stroud, yeah With the dreads. But you know one thing about Stephon Castle that makes him special is his ability to guard other players. He's a great cutter, he's athletic, he plays defense really well and I think that this is a great pick for the Spurs because, like I said, he is the embodiment of a Spurs player. That's not a reclimate. That's true.
Speaker 1:They won a national championship together with UConn, and that is Dan Hurley, the coach of UConn, who won the championship last year.
Speaker 2:He was almost the coach for the Lakers.
Speaker 1:He was almost the coach for the Lakers and he would have been the greatest coach for the Lakers. But yeah, so here we go.
Speaker 2:I haven't seen any very iconic. I haven't seen any very iconic, but I'm seeing some very nice.
Speaker 1:Is that Disneyland? Is that Disneyland With his chains to fly castle? Is that that might be Cinderella? Is that Cinderella's thing? That's crazy. But yeah, I guess I like the thing Because they need a point guard, they need a gritty guy and he needs some money.
Speaker 2:Yeah now they know the eighth fake. I'm not having this fake, I'm just speaking that very clear.
Speaker 1:They still could take Ron Lillen if you want him dealing him.
Speaker 2:I did want Dylan Hammond right.
Speaker 1:You know, I think that they could still draft Dylan Hammond.
Speaker 2:That backcourt would be insane. They might, it depends. They need someone that can handle business.
Speaker 1:All right, so now they're cool. Put your phone on, do not disturb. You're getting all the spoilers All right child.
Speaker 2:The clock is up.
Speaker 1:I'll go first and I have an interesting pick for these guys.
Speaker 2:I don't even know if you got any going. All right.
Speaker 1:So I think, realistically, they're going to take Matas Buzramas, because Matas Buzramas his dad no, his agent is the owner of those Pistons' son. So me like, why wouldn't they take him? But I think that an interesting pick that the Pistons might take Dalton Kvett, because we saw all of last year. What do the Pistons might take Dalton Kinnett, because we saw all of last year. What do the Pistons need the most Shooting and what is Dalton Kinnett?
Speaker 1:The best forward shooter in the draft and I think that he would be perfect because he can bring a sense of maturing to the Pistons, because they don't want to keep losing, they want to actually win games now and I think that he brings it, because he's 23 years old, to the Pistons, because they don't want to keep losing, they want to actually win games now and I think that he brings it because he's 23 years old, so he brings a sense of veteran ship to the Pistons. He can shoot the ball lights out and I think that he would be a great pick for the Pistons. But I think that they're going to take Bruce Wayless.
Speaker 2:What about you, Cole?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll say Bruce Wayless, because you know we saw he was a great shooter in high school. He was a great shooter in high school. He was a great shooter in middle school, but then, as soon as he got to the GV at night, and his shooting last year is as good as Kors fit today.
Speaker 2:This is a joke guys. This is a joke guys.
Speaker 1:It's just a joke, yeah.
Speaker 2:I think I'm going to say Toppitch again.
Speaker 1:You think Toppitch, but they got K-9.
Speaker 2:I think he fit somewhere. Where would he fit? He wouldn't fit anywhere.
Speaker 1:They got K-9. No.
Speaker 2:Topich is reserved for the Lakers. No, the Lakers, he's just not going to the Lakers.
Speaker 1:Topich is not falling that far.
Speaker 2:I don't see him going to Charlotte. I don't see him going to Portland. I don't see him going to San Antonio. I feel like if he's not going to Memphis, he might go to Utah. If he's not going to Chicago, he's not going to Memphis, he might go to Utah. If he's not going to Chicago, he's not going to OKC, he might go to this. The player he is, I think he might go to Washington.
Speaker 1:John Calipari, coach of Arkansas but former coach of Kentucky, who made us lose in the first round. Why don't you learn? We're at the top seed and we lost to Oakland. Anthony shut up, but so yeah, two minutes on the clock. I think that they're going to take Bruce Whalers because of the fact that they just hired a new shooting coach, and I cannot emphasize this enough. The one thing that the Jordan fans need is is to shoot the ball. They're as good as I am at shooting the basketball, um, so yeah. So I think that they they hired a new shooting coach. I think that he can work with booze willis's jump shot to make you go back to how good it was in high school, and I think that I think booze willis could listen. But I think that dalton connect would be a sneaky great fit on the Cousins. I don't know why they're taking so long Right, and all the stars are lining up. The owner's son is the agent of Mata Boothwell.
Speaker 2:So like how many did they train this day? Do we need that right now?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have it.
Speaker 2:Nope, maybe the Pistis Day, Kevin Durant. Yeah, I haven't. Nope, maybe the Pistake haven't buried him.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I'll learn it for you.
Speaker 2:Thank you, Zane.
Speaker 1:Thank you, zane. What is Calipari yapping about? What is Calipari yapping about? Quit your yapping boy.
Speaker 2:We've kind of seen like kind of the start of NBA like craziness, free agency and stuff. Obviously, og and Moby signed a massive contract today.
Speaker 1:We've seen the kill Bridges get traded, bigs get traded. Yes, honestly, going to the Knicks, I don't think they have any cap removed.
Speaker 2:I think they just do what they can in the draft to fill Isaiah Hardenstein.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think resending Hardenstein is very important.
Speaker 2:But I don't think they have money anymore.
Speaker 1:No, because the Ananoby contract is pretty big.
Speaker 2:It is very big, it's a max contract.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but James Dillon's pretty rich, so yeah, but that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2:Wait, why are? They showing Rob.
Speaker 1:No way they'd have Dylan Young, right? I don't think so. That would be the ultimate fumble. That would be the most Detroit Pistons pick of all time. If they take Rob Dylan Young, because why are they showing his highlight? That would be the most Detroit Pistons pick up all time. Why are they? That would be so dumb.
Speaker 2:You're better than this.
Speaker 1:You're better than this that would be the dumbest pick I've seen. Are the Pistons really better than that?
Speaker 2:No, they're not.
Speaker 1:They're not he just saw the pick. Don't tell it. Don't tell it. No, I didn't see the pick. I didn't see the pick. If they take Roberto Dillingham, that would be one of the dumbest things. I've seen in my life, because that would be the worst fumble their two best players are guards.
Speaker 4:It's Kate cutting in and Dana 9-ing the Detroit Pistons take. The Detroit Pistons select Ron.
Speaker 1:Holland, ron Holland, ron Holland, ron Holland, ron Holland.
Speaker 4:Okay. Okay.
Speaker 2:I'm not mad at them, I'm not mad at them.
Speaker 1:I am mad at them.
Speaker 2:That he was supposed to go to the Kings. He was, but it's okay.
Speaker 1:I am mad at that. I am mad at that. You know why? Because he's one of the worst shooters in the draft. Do they just not want to shoot the basketball anymore?
Speaker 2:I mean defense does win championships.
Speaker 1:Elite athleticism.
Speaker 2:But they can't score. He can defend, he can drop fouls. He can defend, he can drop fouls. He can defend, he can get rebounds.
Speaker 1:He can drive to the basket. He can't shoot, but his jumper looks like this. I don't think that can shoot, is he?
Speaker 2:over for Detroit. Yes, they hired a new shooting coach, can we talk about why I haven't got a pick right? I haven't. Can we talk?
Speaker 1:about how tough his draft day season is.
Speaker 2:His draft day season is pretty good. But now, where does Buzalas go? Does he go to Charlotte?
Speaker 1:I like that. I kind of do. I kind of do. I like Buzalas and Charlotte a lot. I had Nect going to Charlotte but I don't know anymore. I think Buzalas goes to Charlotte now. I don't think I don'tonek didn't go to Detroit. I think that would be the only fit on a team that I see him, where I don't want him to be on a contender, like I want him to be on a contender and if it's not a contender then it would be the Pistons and then the Pistons.
Speaker 1:So I think that yeah, but I don't know. They're saying his comparison is Mikael Burgess, but he can't shoot the ball.
Speaker 2:No disrespect whatsoever, but but if he were to develop a shot, I feel like he would be a good one. Yeah, if he can develop a shot, then he'll be really good. But that's an if.
Speaker 1:And shout out to our friend Sammy. He wanted us to say this Ron Holland, man, I want to talk to you. He wanted us to say that after Ron Holland got drafted. So shout out to you, sammy, yeah.
Speaker 2:Another ignored player? Yeah, but.
Speaker 1:I mean Detroit recently hired a shooting coach, so I think that maybe they could work it depends on how good that shooting coach is, because you can't just hire a shooting no, he's actually like a, a famous, really good shooting coach. Okay.
Speaker 2:I don't know, maybe you can fix Ron Holland.
Speaker 1:We'll see, I guess so I think that Ron Holland and Asar Thompson are going to be in the gym all summer. They're not going to get one minute to go in the pool, they're just going to be shooting 7,000 jump shots every single day. Yeah, ron Holland goes to the Detroit Pistons. Now they're everything. Now. The pick is in for the shot or not. The pick is in for the Charlotte or not.
Speaker 2:The pick is in but who do you guys have going with Charlotte Hornets? I think I do have Buzuelas.
Speaker 1:I had Connect, but I think that Buzuelas goes to you think.
Speaker 2:Buzuelas. I think that fits.
Speaker 1:I think that they could take Connect, but I think that I would like Buzuelas better.
Speaker 2:Yeah to me it's either Booze Whalers or Connect. I don't think who else are they going to take, Because I don't think they'd take anyone else.
Speaker 1:They could take a reach and go for T-Jump Salon Three minutes. So it's either between me, connect Booze Whalers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, one of the brands.
Speaker 1:Choose one. Two ads Connect Me, yeah, one of those bands. Choose one. Choose out Connect Me. I'm going to go Connect. I'm going to go Connect Because I think I would like Bruce Wayless better, but I think it's realistic to think it would connect.
Speaker 2:What about you? I'm still going to say Jumper Bruce Wayless yeah.
Speaker 1:Because, I think that Bruce Wayless I don't think he lost his jumper. He just had one down year, and it wasn't even a year, it was like six months, where he shot the ball like Ron Holland, and now it's like Honestly, I think both of them would be really good for Chubbler. I just Actually I'm switching. I like Bruce Willis because I want someone who can run the fast break with LaMelo, be athletic and connect. He isn't the most athletic fast person in the world.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:but if we look at Bruce Willis, like he's a I mean he like obviously I talked about the shooting but the fact that he's actually a pretty good, he has good athleticism and the one thing that he needs to work on is IQ and decision-making. But he's playing with LaMelo, freaking Walt, so I don't think he needs to worry about that at all. You know what I mean? Absolutely yeah, but the clock is running down a lot to the 1s, Very tickly Very tight.
Speaker 1:So who are they going to pick? 125, 124, what's in 3, 122,?
Speaker 2:121, 120. Why don't they go for the Tyson Denmark?
Speaker 1:So someone did that over the last year. They kept doing that. Yeah, oh, the pick is it. You know, I think I hate to bring this up because I think that they might go sneaky and take Johnny John Salone.
Speaker 2:Hi, he's in a stretch though.
Speaker 1:That's a huge stretch. That's the same stretch as he could fit, though that's the same stretch as Cole thinking that his fit is oh okay, that's the same stretch as Cole Thicke. His fit is oh, okay. Okay, but yeah, I mean. So I think I got Bruce Willis, you got Bruce Willis, I do, you got Kinnick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think I'm up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, melbaugh's extremely injury-prone. That's why I was saying that Stephon Castle would have been really good, because if he's off the floor, lamelo Ball is going to be a point guard, but also he can play with LaMelo, and if Brandon Miller, he's just he's so good, you know, like our younger, like last year's Summer League, I thought he was only track. Yeah, kyda went to California Classic and Brandon Miller had more turnovers than points in that first game.
Speaker 2:It was a sad, but I guess it's just like first game was ended enough With the sixth pick in the 2024 NBA track the.
Speaker 4:Charlotte Hornets select Tijan Salah. They took.
Speaker 1:Salah. Say his words, say his words.
Speaker 4:No way, I don't like that.
Speaker 2:No, they did it. No, they did it.
Speaker 1:They took Salah Wow. So no, they get it. No, they get it. They took Salah Wow.
Speaker 2:So contact, so make this like good so what was your? Process behind there.
Speaker 1:You know, I think that the Charlotte Hortons can afford to win. I don't think that their rebuild is over, I don't think that they're trying to win now, but they have their key pieces of Lamela Ball, brandon Miller, mark Williams, and now they're adding Tijano Salon.
Speaker 2:I think, this is good for them. I wanted them to go to Portland and kind of mute that Jeremy Graham replacement.
Speaker 1:We actually like that a lot.
Speaker 2:I think now the Trailblazers who are next. They jacked Bruce Lavers.
Speaker 1:That would be a home run pick. I think now the trailblazers who are next they draft Bruce Lavers. That would be a home run pick for the Portland Trailblazers. If they can get Matas, bruce Lavers, that would be a cool home run pick.
Speaker 2:I think it's either him or Kvett that they draft. I don't see them going for anywhere else.
Speaker 1:But I think that this just tells us that, unlike the Houston Rockets, unlike you could say Detroit Pistons, unlike the Spurs, the Hornets are not trying to wait out. They're going to wait for him to develop, they're going to I mean, yeah, he's a great shooter. He's all around, he can do everything, he's athletic, he can defend and he can shoot. He just needs time to hone those skills to his fullest potential. You're extremely young, yeah, extremely young, but I like you, like the pick, I kind of like it.
Speaker 2:I mean this draft is like so like deep. Yeah, like there's not really a bad pick unless you like pick Bronny James in the first round.
Speaker 1:Number one pick Atlanta Hawks. But if you were to think about it, it's not a bad pick unless you pick Bronny James in the first round. Number one pick Atlanta.
Speaker 2:Hawks. Is that a bad pick?
Speaker 1:The Tijon Salon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, is that a bad pick?
Speaker 1:No, I don't think it's a bad pick. I think Bruce Willis would have fit better, but I'm not saying this is a bad pick. I think this is a good pick, but I think that Bruce Willis wouldn't fit better. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1:So that just ruined my mock, because I had Tijon go into the Blazers at the next pick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I also have that Tijon.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to say Montez Buzuelos. I think that they take Montez Buzuelos because definitely not a guard, 1,000% not a guard. They already have Anthony, they already have oh of Eppelbrod, they have Anthony, scoot and Shaden, they don't need another guard. I think that the wing depth is kind of thin and I think that they can move off of Jeremy Grant. That would be the best case scenario.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they need to trade that contract.
Speaker 1:And I think that if Boosley was to come in, it'd be the Jeremy Grant replacement that would be really good. That would be pretty good.
Speaker 2:The Spurs would probably take K'Nex, I would think at this point, unless they get handed Bruce Lee.
Speaker 1:That's actually going to be good. The Spurs getting K'Nex is a really good pick, yeah.
Speaker 2:This could seem bad, but I do think that even after the draft, the talk about. Wow, insane.
Speaker 1:One year ago. So basically we did the draft last year and they just kept. After every single pick, they kept showing one Of last year and they just kept every after every single pick.
Speaker 1:Then catch showy when I'm the worst and of course they would like he he has, he's like the next lebron james and turn up he's gonna say ice and media he's gonna save us from lifelong jordan rizzo around the bitch for us and we'll let uh yeah, he'll just add to it just jordan bridges no, he should be better than both combined for my seventh pick.
Speaker 2:I do do have Devon Curry.
Speaker 1:Ooh, Devon Curry I don't like that. I mean, I don't know how I feel about it. I think that if he can play the three, then I love that pick because he brings defense, but I don't think. I think the size would not allow him to play the three. But I think that if he can, because they have a large gym, oh you said, oh yeah that if he can because they they have a log gym, oh yeah, the amount of guards they have is the amount of non-tough fits that cool has in his eye.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna stop um, yeah, I do feel like devin carter does have with the, with the parlor measures, need and move my shooter and I need outball defense and I feel like hevin Carter does have what the Portland Rangers need. They need a movement shooter and they need out-ball defense and I feel like he can hold that down. He could hold that down. I know where it can come from when you say he's undersized, he can't play the three. I mean he could play the three but he can't play the three. Let's be real, he doesn't have the build for that and Silver's coming out. But you'll see where I'm coming.
Speaker 1:Let's see who they take. I know who's realist you got who's realist you got Cardiff.
Speaker 4:The Portland Trailblazers select Donovan Klingin.
Speaker 2:Wow we could miss this draft. Is it serious?
Speaker 1:Wow, I mean, that's not bad. Bye-bye DeAndre Ayton. Bye-bye DeAndre Ayton. Bye-bye DeAndre Ayton.
Speaker 2:Wait, sir Adam Silver, am I a joke to you? All right, who did I have? So what?
Speaker 1:So the Grizzlies are in shambles right now. The Grizzlies are crying. The Grizzlies are like the Grizzlies are crying. The Grizzlies are actually crying right now. Honestly, are like the Grizzlies are crying.
Speaker 2:The Grizzlies are actually crying right now. Honestly, the Spurs got Boosley, lentz or Konect. I love both of them. Both of those are perfect.
Speaker 1:What you saw.
Speaker 2:Huh, they have Konect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they need a shooter. Cool Turn off notifications.
Speaker 2:I've been missing Konect.
Speaker 1:Donovan Klingon. So bye, bye, deandre, or what did we say?
Speaker 2:I mean they could add in DeAndre, and that's another.
Speaker 1:No, they can't and now Jeremy Grant, who would take on both of them, honestly, I think. I would be pretty down for the Kings to take them. The contract is just too much.
Speaker 2:I mean, if they can trade away Harrison Barrett. Any trade is good.
Speaker 1:If we could get Jeremy Grant and DeAndre Ayton but we could play football, so we could restructure their contracts and we could just take away $100 million from each of their contracts, I would love to trade with them. But DeAndre Ayton we saw last year he's so skilled he just doesn't want it. I think that's why they want to move off of him. Maybe he can mentor him. Don McLean could be the backup for a little bit. But bye-bye, deandre, and soon enough. Yeah, wow, portland gets.
Speaker 2:Oh, I had Don McLean go to Utah. I said it won't happen.
Speaker 1:What about Walker Kessler? Think they train?
Speaker 2:him. I think, yeah, I mean well, obviously now I don't know. I mean the Earthlings are in shambles, I'd say we wouldn't have had this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I thought.
Speaker 2:I thought he would be perfect for Waster. I'm not going to hold you right there. He's a two-time champion. You found that is right.
Speaker 1:He's a great player, but I think that he would have fit better with the Grizzlies and I think that Luzuelas or Konecta would have fit better with the Blazers. But I mean, that just tells us that DeAndre is gone.
Speaker 2:I wonder what they'll get for DeAndre. Probably just grab Towns to the right. But who would want to trade for DeAndre, Like who needs a set right now? They do the Pistons.
Speaker 1:No, they have their franchise name. You know the TikTokiktok sound. Who are you, bro? The light period here center, I mean? I just think that, like they don't even sound like moving 80 to the powerful would be the best move possible, but I think the oh, yeah it's in all those memories. Yeah, it's pretty tough. Nothing has gone the way that I thought it would, so yeah, I gotten two picks right so far how much have I gotten?
Speaker 1:let me see so far up to this top step, top top picks. I had alex star one, reshasha to cling in, three shepherd for connect five, castle six, solon seven, so I got zero picks correct.
Speaker 2:I've got zero, so go like an absolute. I had the only ones I think right were beat ready, easy ones which were shepherd and castle.
Speaker 1:I mean Next pick, though, I have booze. Well, it's going to the spirits and you can see that I've booze will go to a sprint, so I think that they can take it. I think, and if I get that, please, san Antonio, Let me get one pick right. Greg Popovich, please Let me get one pick right. I'm begging you. But yeah, I think they need. They need a point guard and they needed a movement shoot.
Speaker 2:Well, they have their point guard.
Speaker 1:They have their point guard.
Speaker 2:I originally had Willie Williams go into the Spurs. I don't think that's going to happen anymore. Honestly, I think he could be loaded as a by-field in Sacramento.
Speaker 1:I would love that. I would love for Willie Williams to go into Sacramento. I don't think he's going past number 10 or number 11.
Speaker 2:I mean honestly now I don't know what happens, because I thought that all of the small forwards and centers and stuff would be kind of out of the draft. So I was assuming that Chicago and OKC were probably in the trade down or out with first round. But I don't know. I don't think Chicago and OKC were probably in the trade down where Iowa would first round, but I don't know. I don't think Chicago does. Okc might still do that for another win out piece, but I don't know why is San Antonio taking this?
Speaker 2:we don't time we'll get down to the, to the back, to the last second so you got final picks, final picks uh, this is Devin Carter. Wow, bruce Lewis, bruce Wicks, I got.
Speaker 1:Final picks, final picks. Uh, who's?
Speaker 2:on this, devin Carter Wow.
Speaker 1:Bruce Willis, bruce Willis, I got Bruce Willis on Damn his chin is massive.
Speaker 2:That's not what they did.
Speaker 1:What? Why is he sitting like this?
Speaker 2:Flip Okay. So yeah, I guess Adam Silver is just like taking a nap or something.
Speaker 1:Adam Silver is taking a sweet old time. He's been in for about 30 minutes and here we go, here we go, here we go, adam, adam, Adam.
Speaker 2:Thought man.
Speaker 4:With the eighth pick in the 2024 NBA draft with San Antonio Spurs, select Rob Billingham. What From the University of Kentucky? What?
Speaker 1:They go for the speed, Wow, wow wow, rob Dillingham from the University of Kentucky. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow Wow.
Speaker 2:So I did have Rob on my. I'm going to say that I did have Rob on my log draft, but because of the number 4 pick, I moved it.
Speaker 1:Wow, rob Dillingham and Stefan Kassel draft, but because of the number four pick, I moved it. Wow, rob Dillingham and Stefan Kass are the backcourt of the future. Am I wrong for saying that? I like that I don't like that.
Speaker 2:I like it, but at the same time I wish they picked the small forward.
Speaker 1:Am I no literally.
Speaker 2:He's a big guy for their fourth pick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they should uh Am.
Speaker 2:I the I mean that's it with Rob. I don't like it.
Speaker 1:Rob. I mean Rob and Wemmy. I love that duo, but Rob, Wemmy and Stephon Castle.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying. I feel like even Stephon, defon Castle or Robinson, they'd sit on the bench and collect dust and I don't like that. That's horrible.
Speaker 1:I hate that. They could stagger their minutes. So let's say Wemby plays 40 minutes a night, dillingham would play 20 with Wemby and Castle would play 20 with Wemby, something like that, and they could develop to be a backboard. But it depends, because Stephon Castle wants to play coin guard.
Speaker 2:I think they can have Dylan play at the two. Let's see a problem with that. He's very small to be a two guard Like truly small. I mean he did have a great haircut.
Speaker 1:He has a great score.
Speaker 2:He has a great score. He can play, make and score. He can do things on and off the ball. He can move without the ball, he can move with the ball.
Speaker 1:But also he came off the bench. He conducted, he did and he still managed to boost up his draft stock.
Speaker 2:He could just be a six-man high-court scorer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I mean I get what Kai is saying he can run and then dunk.
Speaker 2:So I mean I get what Kai is saying, I get what Ron and then Dunn is. I feel like he can really like grow as a starter.
Speaker 1:Look at that. Now we'll be taking guys to the Aston. Look at those two guys. The 34th free-ball. They're on my basketball team guys.
Speaker 2:Pick us in Our basketball team, our basketball team. Oh yeah, yes, I know, it's in the back.
Speaker 1:I, our basketball team, oh yeah, yes, I know it's in the back. I've seen the others, so you think he's going to rock. You think that Greg Palfrey, if you play him a lot, he can?
Speaker 2:I think he's going to try to.
Speaker 1:I don't know I'm 0 for 9. I mean, I'm 0 for 8. Right now, two more picks and I'm going to be Clay Thompson 2 for 8.
Speaker 2:Thank, now Two more picks, and then I'd be Clay Thompson. Two for KKNC. Actually, no, I'm two for 10, because I got the Utah pick wrong, because I picked Clayton going to Utah but he obviously didn't. I had Clayton going to Memphis, so I think Devin Carter, no shoot, come in there, gentlemen. All right well, so Blue's playlist is still up. I'm going to have to jump over here. All right well, so Blue's lay list is still up. I'm going to keep this. Think about their lineup.
Speaker 2:I'm going to keep this blank, because I honestly have no clue.
Speaker 1:Think about their lineup Jaw at the one, bane at the two, smart. No. Jaw at the one, smart at the two, bane at the three, jalen at the four, klingon at the two, beta at the three, general at the four, clinging at the five Would have been perfect, no it would have been Absolutely perfect. But I guess they could get a Pile forward Slash center.
Speaker 2:So when you think About that, so I mean now what food is Magfistra?
Speaker 1:Kalel where. Wait. I had him go to OKC and I think that he'll be great on Sacramento, so I don't want him.
Speaker 2:I want to Toronto. I also think I know OKC, but I thought now maybe they do OKC, maybe man, because I had him taking Ron Holland originally.
Speaker 1:The Grizzlies.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that Jared at the 5 and Ron Holland at the 5.
Speaker 2:I think now they might take Bruce Layless.
Speaker 1:You know what happened? The Detroit Pistons, detroit Pistons.
Speaker 2:I think that now they take Bruce Layless Bruce Layless, you're up with it. And then Chicago, you'll take some next.
Speaker 1:I don't like connect on Chicago, it's either.
Speaker 2:Chicago takes whoever, and then between draft, between Buzuelas or Pippen.
Speaker 1:I think that Buzuelas was born and raised in Chicago, so and he spent his entire life in Chicago, in step shorts after my school. So I think that the Grizzlies, if they're going to draft one or the other, it would be connect. But we're seeing right now I have a silver.
Speaker 4:With the ninth pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies select Zach Eady wow, Zach Eady.
Speaker 2:I didn't go into Sacramento, wow.
Speaker 1:I kind of like that the Sacramento?
Speaker 2:Wow, I kind of like that, zach Eady. I like it, you like it, I kind of like it. The Grizzlies are not in the same position that Sacramento is in in terms of center depth. Hell, no, I bet number 28. He was a thought in the back of my head.
Speaker 1:I had him. If he was going to go in the top 20, it was going to be Wally Grust, if not, it was going to be like.
Speaker 2:So Okay, why? Who is Utah draft?
Speaker 1:Let's see Utah could go Buzuelas or Buzuelas on Utah would be insane, but I think he would be mad because he wants to go to Chicago.
Speaker 2:I was thinking of Cody Williams. What is this crap?
Speaker 1:What is this crap?
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't know what is this draft. What is this draft? I don't know what is this draft. So all of my picks, except for two, have been right. I don't think I'm going to get Utah right. Well, no, I can't get Utah right because I've been cleaning this con. Exactly, I'm not the ableist to get that right. That was a brain buster pick, sorry. I do think that. Sorry, poole, no it. Sorry, I do think that. Sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1:No, it's okay.
Speaker 2:I think that Utah, wiltshire and Claybrook are some black.
Speaker 1:I think they'd take Claybrook. Yeah, I think they'd take Claybrook.
Speaker 2:They could, I mean, they should have what they need.
Speaker 1:I would be bummed if they take. I would be bummed if they take. I would be bummed if they take Montez Bejuelis, because I want to see. I think Giddy Giddy bringing the ball up. Giddy loves it.
Speaker 2:I think that Utah might take Cody Williams and then the Slayers will go to Chicago Cal, where we'll go to Chicago Cal, where We'll go to.
Speaker 1:We got three instances.
Speaker 2:Well yeah, Cal, where We'll go to OKC or them trades.
Speaker 1:Don't say you're a tire walker, bro.
Speaker 2:But what I'm trying to say is that I think the X might go to Sacramento, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:I like that.
Speaker 2:Kind of like we didn't get Ron Allen.
Speaker 1:This is our second option type deal, so I would love Cody Williams to Sacramento if they don't take him here, but I have Devin Cardi on the side.
Speaker 2:I think you would be good friends here, I think.
Speaker 1:I think they just need Cody Williams.
Speaker 2:He has a good wingspan, he can shoot, he can round the ball a little bit and he's, overall, what they need.
Speaker 1:But if they take Cody Williams, you got to know what that means, dude. What. Bye-bye, Larry Marker.
Speaker 2:Honestly I felt.
Speaker 1:Larry deserves to go to a contender.
Speaker 2:He does. I'm so curious. Why Wait? Hold on, Larry deserves to go to a contender. He does. I'm so creative. Why? Where does Larry go?
Speaker 1:anywhere. He fits practically anywhere. I would love Larry Markin on Sacramento, but I think that because they have their franchise play guard, they have their franchise center, they have their franchise power forward. That's have their franchise center. They have their franchise power forward. That's Keontae George Walker Kessler and yes, walker Kessler had a really down year, but I think he's still their franchise center and Taylor Medjic's over. So I think they take Cody Williams here because he can slide right into them Pick the 2024. Nba draft. The Utah Jazz select.
Speaker 4:Cody.
Speaker 1:Williams. Yeah, cody Williams, okay. Draft the Utah Jazz select Cody Williams, let's go. I got a pick correct. Let's go, cody Williams. Oh, my goodness. So that means Bruce Ray's to Chicago, 1,000% Jordan. Ray's in. Chicago. He spent as much time in Chicago as I've spent in Sacramento. So, yeah, he won. I like this pick. I like this pick a lot.
Speaker 2:First pick we got right. First pick I got right. I like this pick. I like this pick a lot.
Speaker 1:First, pick we got right. So, First pick, I got right. I was about to be Clay Thompson guys, I was about to go for 10 on the draft, but I didn't, so thank you. Thank you, utah Jazz. I'm wanting to do this. I'm now a Jazz fan. No, I'm kicking. This is a cool book. Yeah, I think this. He slides right in. He's the only weakness that I have about Cody Williams. You can just see it by looking at him. He has no muscle whatsoever. He's one of the skinniest guys. He doesn't need to really play in the post, yeah, but you need. Oh, look at Jade. Oh my God, jade, huh, but I think that you need. What are they doing? What are they doing? No, I was likely to tell, though, but I think that you need some sort of strength to survive in the NBA.
Speaker 2:Obviously, I think he'll build up strength. I think he will. I think over the next two off-seasons he'll definitely build up less 1,000% yeah. As weakness I have. He can't handle physical defense and he's weak as well. Yeah, so he just yeah, he's. Really I feel like the NBA does develop skinnier players.
Speaker 1:You saw, giannis?
Speaker 2:Giannis.
Speaker 1:He's getting there, yeah, but I think he's just an all-around great player. He can defend, he can score the basketball and what I think is really good about him is the fact that he doesn't force anything and I think that's gonna go great great in the nba because there's a 24 second shot clock, so you have 24 seconds to get a bucket. If he goes downhill and he's like he has a contested three point opportunity, he's not going to take that. He's going to slow the game down and find his spot or find his teammates a spot and get a bucket. I think that's what's really good about buddy williams he's not too aggressive and he has the iq to survive in the nba. That's what I love. But yeah, I mean, he's j-dub's brother and j-dub is one of the best players young players in the nba, so yeah well, that replay on this I don't.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was J-Dub's draft. Yeah, oh sure, they did that hand sequence. J-dub got drafted and now they're doing that hand sequence Cody gets drafted. That's tough, that's actually tough.
Speaker 2:I like this.
Speaker 1:Wait, he went number one overall to the Spurs. No way they got better ones. Why does it say that he went number one in the world in the sport?
Speaker 2:I guess they just wanted Victor when they went to go oh, pick his in, I'm Bruce Willis.
Speaker 1:Well, thousand percent, it's Bruce Willis. There's no way they pass him.
Speaker 2:I originally had Tristan DeSoto, but this is gonna be Bruce Willis oh, I bet my life. Sammy's on them, taking Bruce Willis. You sure what is he doing there?
Speaker 1:First Colorado player to actually top 10 since Chauncey Phillips. Okay, well, j-dub's aura is so much better looking, though so tough, but if you listen to his voice, he sounds, he sounds. My name is Dylan Williams and I sound like this, but yeah, I think I love this pick from the Jazz. I actually love this pick from the Jazz.
Speaker 2:I like this. I love this pick a lot, but who do you got for Chicago?
Speaker 1:Boozwaylis, boozwaylis, boozwaylis born and raised in Chicago, come on. So that means that if they take Boozwaylis bye, bye to Marjorie Rosen, bye bye to the Jazz no.
Speaker 2:Bye-bye to Martin Rosen, bye-bye to no. I think they moved our rumors into the fore. Oh, I think I can catch that.
Speaker 1:Wait, you know who else they could take? I know Chicago fans are sick of this. They're sick of Nikola Vucevic being their starting center. What if they take Kalal Ware? I've seen that knocked a lot.
Speaker 2:They can't take it to lower.
Speaker 1:But I think, whoever they take this eat this year and as I mean this draft as long as it's not a shooting guard. They're blowing it up. Why would they trade Alex for yourself for a young point guard? Because they want to blow it up and they're shopping Zach Levine and I think that they're gonna try to Rosen. They're definitely done on the reason it. So I think it's either Kala where it was wellest, but I would not be surprised if it's either one. But I would like Bruce Willis better, because that would really signify the rebuild. But here we go. Why did they show Taylor Swift? We already had to see this in the NFL. But yeah, I had Bruce Willis. We had Bruce Willis going to the Pistons. We had Bruce Willis going to the Hornets. We had Bruce Willis going to the Pistons. We had Bruce Willis going to the Hornets. We had Bruce Willis going to the Spurs.
Speaker 2:We had Bruce Willis. They have to take him. It's never going to end. They have to take him now what if he doesn't go in the first round?
Speaker 1:It's myself who's loose. At this time last year he was projected to be in the North World. He's not going to the second round. What if someone sees a fly and thinks it's Ronnie James Cleveland? Black and Apple. Here we go. I hate courage so much. That's not how you do it. It's Thank you, jack.
Speaker 2:I mean not Jack but thank you guys for listening to my thing. Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 1:I didn't get the next picks for one for me, but someone just got straightened. All right Do you want me to tell?
Speaker 2:you? No, no, let's watch it. Don't be sad, tell us who it is.
Speaker 1:The Minnesota Timberwolves. Have you been tired?
Speaker 2:Don't tell us anymore. Well, where are the Minnesota Timberwolves?
Speaker 1:have retired. Well, where do you know the team? Rob Dillingham from the San Antonio Spurs I'm being so serious right now. Rob Dillingham and Anthony Edwards. I love it, I love it, I love that so much what, what, what. What we haven't seen it, he's got it on. I think that's why he's taking so long.
Speaker 2:No, wait, so does he announce draft. He announces the trade first round.
Speaker 1:I love that, rob Dilligan and Anthony Edwards but wait, so Minnesota doesn't draft it.
Speaker 2:They're not drafting. They're not drafting first round.
Speaker 1:I don't think they care, because he's got Rob Do yeah.
Speaker 2:But San Antonio probably gets their pick. So who does San Antonio draft with the 27th, 28th pick?
Speaker 1:Question is who do they think that?
Speaker 2:Who's going to be available? Who do they see being available? Did? They shoot it.
Speaker 1:Call it the challenge of the Kewamanyam.
Speaker 2:No, let it tell.
Speaker 1:No, I was like, I was like, I was like, but I was still going crazy.
Speaker 2:That would be so dumb.
Speaker 1:Rob Dillian has been acquired by the Minnesota Timberwolves. That is the one of the most insane things I've ever seen, but I love that I had them taking care of Tim. But I love this even more.
Speaker 2:Here we go, the final league. With the 11th pick in the 2024 NBA draft the.
Speaker 4:Chicago Bulls select Matis.
Speaker 1:Mujoz, he's going home, he's going home to the Chicago Bulls. I love that pick, so bye-bye to my brothers. Reboot time in Chicago.
Speaker 2:I love that pick. I like the pick, but I don't know if they actually trade away the person. I don't know what they actually trade away DeRozan. I don't know what they do with DeRozan. I think, if they're going. If they were going to trade away DeRozan, it would have done nothing 2020. The same would be. They're not that dumb.
Speaker 1:The Minnesota Timberwolves Didn't even trade this year's pick. They traded a 2031 and 2030, unprotected for a job. What the Spurs are banking on the fact that the Timberwolves might be?
Speaker 2:Alright, so I guess that the Spurs only had one pick this year, mm-hmm. So, oh my God.
Speaker 1:That is insane. So Rob's dealing him with Anthony that is insane.
Speaker 2:That's insane. That's a cheat code.
Speaker 1:That's insane. The glaze on the two rows is going to be insane.
Speaker 2:So they probably should renew. No, my clan leader probably cuts off the bench. Okay, so he's on the floor.
Speaker 1:I can already picture him Read my air handles. Yes, sir. Doing air Lobs it Anthony Edwards Bala.
Speaker 2:They can both hold their arms.
Speaker 1:Especially on the odd ones. Even. I absolutely was, you know why I see it, why not?
Speaker 2:Because the Spurs had an almighty fumble, Because you could have had the best of a Sten and Castle. Victor, Wendman, Yama and Matas, whose waylist is on the same team.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but they didn't.
Speaker 2:And now you don't? You basically only drafted one player with two pittance.
Speaker 1:But I think that you guys know about the ownership scandal in the Minnesota Territories franchise, right? Yeah, the question is you guys know about that right. So I think that they're banging on the fact that the Minnesota Territories are going to crumble and steal. Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll say, mean yeah, right, okay, I'll say that one again. Huh, but Rigo's sounding your numbers all day.
Speaker 1:No, but what I was saying? Sorry, I just got a phone call, but I think that the San Antonio Spurs are. So, basically, alex Rodriguez wanted to buy the Timberwolves, right, but the owner of the Timberwolves backed out of the deal at the last minute. Okay, because they sent in the paperwork one minute late. Okay, from the dead. So the owner of the Timberwolves backed out and sold. It's really ugly, and what's weird about that is the fact that the current owner of the Timberwolves has never gone, paid out of his own bank account, to buy something, or to buy a player To pay for a play rate.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But so now the two rules. They can't afford to keep quality towns and they can't afford to keep their roster the same way it is now, and I think that the Spurs are banking on the fact of them that, that, that they have a trigger, larry that another table is will not be good by 2031.
Speaker 1:The back is almost you up. I know the Timberwolves will not be good by 2031. Why is his brother crying? Why is his brother crying? It's not that Did not love that pick for the Bulls. He's going home and shout out to the Numbers on the Board podcast they wanted to go golfing with Matas Gourvelis. They kept planning this for the past week and now they're living with Samson.
Speaker 2:So Wow, I mean, did someone emolish with Samson?
Speaker 1:I mean, but now they could've not. You know what I mean they could not have.
Speaker 2:You know he plays, so before it's out, there's a video of something you saw.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bring it up on.
Speaker 2:Uh Kalao Ware.
Speaker 1:Kalao Ware. I think that they need a real, because I think Deadline they did the stupidest thing ever by trading for Gordon Hayward to be their big move, and it's just like.
Speaker 2:That didn't get out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a wrong guy. He's never playing very engine, so I think that.
Speaker 2:I think it's either OKC. Wait, no, chip. I think so. Oh, where are they trading at? I think this will be the only other team. I would not be surprised if they do trade down.
Speaker 1:But also, yeah, I would love to know where I am in Sacramento you would love it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean you would love like Marseille's good house. I mean yeah.
Speaker 1:I would love the Sacramento Kings to get a player.
Speaker 2:You know what? You know what? Yeah, I would love the Sacramento teams to get a player. You know what Connect is gonna go to the there's one.
Speaker 1:Connects say do that now he's not what wizard cuz you know, don't connect is gonna go to the wizard. Oh, the wizard show for Portland's a great number. She's got me what? 42 seconds. So who do you not take him?
Speaker 2:All right, have to come back. I just feel like he's an out because he's an older player, he has some better experience, he has all the skills that OKC does on their back roster. I do feel like he could be, because OKC wants to win right. Okc is no longer a team that wants to mature, no longer a team that wants to mature. They're a team that wants to win right and I feel like sorry, he's on board. He's been a spirit in the college, danny. I rushed him with time and really he wants to win too. He's a team that wants to win, not a team that needs to develop, obviously. So I feel like hill building. My new skills just match so well with okay, since you mean it still said that it's just inside.
Speaker 1:you got this perfect thing but I feel like the glaring need is a real center okay called you solid creep.
Speaker 2:Stop chewing With the 12th pick of the 2024 NBA draft the. Oklahoma City Thunder select.
Speaker 4:Nikola Tomic from Belgrade, Serbia.
Speaker 2:And Serbia's.
Speaker 4:So why?
Speaker 2:would you do that Instead of Krusty tweaking? Why would you do that? You have Alex, caruso and Shane.
Speaker 4:And.
Speaker 2:Shane. Gilded Alexander. Why? I think that. Were they able to kiss why?
Speaker 1:I think that Sam Presley's on the ZonZone.
Speaker 2:Unless he's gonna be the guy for once. Alex Caruso retires, but when is that gonna be?
Speaker 1:Wait when the Thunder have traded their pick in the last two drafts.
Speaker 2:And he's way too young. He has little experience.
Speaker 1:When do I have it? Wait, wait, wait. So the Kings can get either Devin Carter or Cologne wear.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's very good.
Speaker 1:No wait.
Speaker 2:White jerseys.
Speaker 1:You know, what's even stupider Is that the Thunder just wasted their pick Because Topic is going to miss his entire rookie season Because he had a torn ACL.
Speaker 2:That's right. So we said he's going to come into the league. He's going to come into the league. Is it learning? Just Chet again, because Chet had a? Well, okay, chet wasn't injured during the draft. Is it learning? Just Chet again, because Chet had a like? Well, okay, chet wasn't injured during the draft.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but when Chet got injured they weren't trying to win, they were the one seed in the Eastern and the Western Conference. I don't know why.
Speaker 2:He has this. He like massive, like he will be the guy in five years.
Speaker 1:They already have the guy Shady Jogis Alexander. What?
Speaker 2:He's Alex Caruso for a placement.
Speaker 1:He's missing a year. They just traded for like two.
Speaker 2:Wait, this is a horrible pick because he's missing a year this year. Next year he's going to come in as a rookie and he's super young, no experience.
Speaker 1:Wait, I figured out how old is Alex Caruso. He's like 27, 28. He's in the theater for five years Exactly, and you know what's stupid?
Speaker 2:What is that? What is that? What is that? Just put this picture of his house.
Speaker 1:Pick it up, I'll give it Before I say this. We just saw this. Wait, is that downtown Sacramento? Oh my God, I live there. But what my god, I live there, but uh, what's it called? And christy? Or? Oh, that's new york. But oh, they're lighting the beam. Oh, they're lighting the beam. I see, I see, but what's crazy is we just saw literally we just saw nicola topich before nicola topich, like a player who's exactly similar to nicola topich. He just got traded off of okc and we just saw him last year and he did not fit with a team at all. Josh wiggin, we just saw him. He's basically Nikola Topic, except Topic is a little more athletic and he can actually play defense.
Speaker 2:And also with an allegation stud.
Speaker 1:I mean, he got put with an innocent put.
Speaker 2:I mean, let's just, add them all the picks. That was an insane pick.
Speaker 1:What the heck.
Speaker 2:I mean, I feel like Sam Bradford is going to be like if I dream, you need your awareness.
Speaker 1:But I don't like it. Oh, devin Carter, let's go. The king got Devin Carter, he's smiling and laughing and everything.
Speaker 2:He's far, way too far back oh season one.
Speaker 1:We need a rebounder.
Speaker 2:We need a shooter Devin Carter is all about.
Speaker 1:He is going to be our Josh Hart. He's going to be that much. I love this pick for the Kings. He's basically Keon Ellis 2.0.
Speaker 2:He has fallen. In my opinion, though, he has fallen, but I actually wonder what do the Kings do with their rotation now that they have Devin Carter, because Keon Ellis isn't going to play point guard anymore?
Speaker 1:No, I think that they would take out Davion Mitchell.
Speaker 2:I think that they would keep.
Speaker 1:Look at that, mitchell. Yeah, I think that they would keep. Look at that Eight rebounds.
Speaker 2:But then you have but then you have and a 6-2 guard is crazy. Do you start belief mug this year instead of Kevin?
Speaker 1:I think that they're saying goodbye to HKD this season. Hkd stands for Harrison Barnes, kevin Herter, davion Mitchell. I think that they're saying that in the hpd.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I, I yes, I mean, I think you could probably package uh kevin herder and uh harrison barnes oh, I feel sad for jared mccain.
Speaker 1:Though we didn't take the hometown kid, I think we would have only taken jared. Uh, jim's over there taken Jim, oh wait. No, that yeah, oh wait no, they already did trade it yeah, yes but when is he going to announce the Dilling entry? When it goes to Minnesota or did he already say it when?
Speaker 2:it goes to Minnesota probably. Well, that would make sense.
Speaker 1:I think he's going to announce it. I love Devin Carter.
Speaker 2:I love Devin.
Speaker 1:Carter. Well, that would make sense. I think, if you're going to endorse it, I would make sense. I love Devin Carter. I love Devin Carter Love.
Speaker 2:Devin Carter man, portland Trailblazers, let's go Love Devin Carter.
Speaker 1:Ooh, the Kings tried to shop the pick.
Speaker 2:I mean, yeah, I would try to shop this pick too.
Speaker 1:I love Devin Carter man I've yeah, I was trying to shop the pig too. I love him in court. I've said this like 20 times.
Speaker 2:So do you think for Portland, jacoby Walter or Tyler Slick could be in that spot? The Timberwolves traded 2031, found protected first, and they swapped their 2035, which is top one protected.
Speaker 1:Holy Timberwolves Police. Holy Timberwolves Police. Holy Timberwolves Police.
Speaker 2:So and that's all for doing it. I honestly don't know who the Wizards are going to draft. I want them to draft Dalton Connect. I think he would play great, but I don't think they're ready to move on from Calcus League yet.
Speaker 1:I mean Connect would be at the three, so they'll have a starting lineup of Jordan Poole, Bilal Kulabeli, then Don Connect, Kyle Kuzma, Alex Saar. That'll be okay, I think that they take Connect here, but I wanted to see Kinect on a team like look at that 42-inch vertical, fast, massive wingspan.
Speaker 2:So we have two of the fastest players in the NBA. This is my ITDN player. He's extremely athletic short, long arms. He can run fast, jump high.
Speaker 1:He's 6'2", but he plays like he's 6'9".
Speaker 2:He has hustle, hustle, extremism. This is a real brawl player, and the picture's in.
Speaker 1:Why are they showing the Blazers?
Speaker 2:Oh, the asset. I said so there it is Proposed trade.
Speaker 1:But it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2:Wait, what if they don't accept? Wait, oh, there's a 2029 first and two second round. I love that for the Wizards.
Speaker 1:I think that they did Dalton Connect, but I wanted to see Dalton Connect go to a winner. That's why I think that if Dalton Connect can survive two picks Dalton Connect or Philadelphia Sixers On the Philadelphia 76ers they're going to the conference finals.
Speaker 2:Yeah, get rid of Tobias Harris.
Speaker 1:Get rid of Tobias Harris. One million percent.
Speaker 2:You don't see a Jordan in the Philadelphia 76ers. I have him going to Philadelphia because I think he would be a great number two.
Speaker 1:I think that next to either Jimmy Butler or Paolo Mancara, he would be great.
Speaker 2:I have Tyler Smith as forward. I have Dalton. Wizards.
Speaker 4:In the 2024 NBA draft the Portland Trailblazers select Bob Carrington Wow.
Speaker 1:They take Bob Carrington.
Speaker 2:So Bob.
Speaker 1:Wait a second, give us like 30 seconds. Let us talk about that.
Speaker 2:Bob Carrington is coming to the Wizards, so that's bye-bye.
Speaker 4:Jordan Pippen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's bye-bye. Jordan Pippen. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. Yeah, and the good.
Speaker 2:I already think how they're taking Devin Carter. But now they did take Jerry Kane Devin Carter, but I think they take Jerry McCain.
Speaker 1:Devin Carter seems like the most 90-year player of all time right.
Speaker 1:He could we gotta speak louder until our mics get fixed. So I'm gonna talk like this until our mics get fixed. But I really love the fit of Jerry McCain because, yes, they did get Terry Rozier, but he was very hurt, and I think that because we saw in the finals the reason they couldn't beat Denver they did get Terry Rozier but he was very hurt. And I think that because we saw in the finals the reason they couldn't beat Denver they had a great defense but they couldn't get a bucket when it mattered most. And I think that the one player who can get you a bucket Jerry McCain, fantastic shooter.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:But if not, I would love to see him on the Pelicans, I mean.
Speaker 2:I'm into.
Speaker 1:Orlando Magic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay. So I had the Magic picking Rob Dillian, but that's not going to happen. So I think he would be a good fit, but I think he might go to Miami now because Devin Carter is not. We'll see, okay, did you say Rob. Dillian, did you? Yeah, you got picked. Yeah, I know. I said I was going to have him go to the Magic. Good, yeah, I know, I said that I was going to have him go to the Magic. Oh, but not that long before.
Speaker 1:I love the pick of Rob Dillingham and Jimmy if they were to team up. Thankfully, Miami State and they're free at all times because we need to get on Mike's picks.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dale, five.
Speaker 2:Pretty good. So, Kyle, do you think Miami's going to pick? So I do actually believe that Miami will pick Isaiah Collier. It's a little bit of a stretch, but I do think he might fit well here. I feel like maybe he didn't need to do on the UFC. He knows his role, he knows what he needs to do, he knows his job. He did it. He did it to its efficiency, you know yeah. So Rocky Miami, he can do something in Miami. They had a close championship back in 2022. It's a great sorry, mm-hmm. Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1:Can I just say something? The fact that you just said back in and then you said 2023 shows how crazy fast time is moving. I think that Miami needs a certified Bucky getter, and I think that Jared McCain can be that guy yeah but I would not be surprised if they take Collier they need a guy who can replace Tyra Hero.
Speaker 2:I don't like him starting.
Speaker 1:Wow, really.
Speaker 2:I mean he did. Either that or they need someone else in the back row because Tyra Hero he's been okay.
Speaker 1:I get what you're saying because the year they were the one seed Tyra Hero was six man, so you think Jared McCain can be that guy. But I would have loved the fit on Orlando, because I can already picture it Jared McCain going Orlando, magic Orlando and making TikToks. You know what I?
Speaker 2:mean, well, I think that if he doesn't go to Miami, he goes to Philadelphia. He might go to LA, if he doesn't go to. Philadelphia, you know.
Speaker 1:Two small non-defensive guards being your backcourt is not a smart idea. I don't think Tyrese Maxey and Jared McKinn work here, we go, here we go mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm you just resigned to a max contract. Select Palilware of Indiana University.
Speaker 2:You just re-signed. Bam out of bio to a max contract.
Speaker 4:What are you doing?
Speaker 1:Did they not just sign Bam, or am I tripping?
Speaker 2:So clearly they don't want to believe right now. So what they do is they just sign Bam out of bio to a max contract.
Speaker 1:Am I tripping, or do they not just sign Bam out of bio to a max contract? Am I tripping, or do they not just?
Speaker 2:sign Bam out of bio to a max contract. Cool, am I tripping? No, this is more of a fumble than Nicola Tolpik. So this draft actually has to be like.
Speaker 1:This is so confusing.
Speaker 2:Man.
Speaker 1:Why are they clapping?
Speaker 2:Fire everyone there.
Speaker 1:Pat Riley annoys me so much. He didn't want to get Dame because he wanted Terry Rozier. Now he doesn't want to get.
Speaker 2:So he just doesn't want to win the championship. So then, I guess now Derrick McCain goes to Philadelphia. I guess, right, I like that, but a lot of players that I knew how to get pushed out and I didn't get pushed out are we forgetting about who fits best with the Philadelphia 76ers?
Speaker 1:Dalton Connect would be perfect but at the same time they also need a shooting guard he's crying because he's not going to get any playing time, because Bam Adebayo is their franchise starter, who they just signed to a max contract.
Speaker 2:So you think he could be fourth.
Speaker 1:To play by afterwards.
Speaker 2:What if they trade him? What if they do a Spurs and just trade him?
Speaker 1:He fits well with the organization of the Miami Heat.
Speaker 2:He does, but he doesn't fit with the team of the Miami Heat.
Speaker 1:Finish my sentence. There you go. So who do you guys want the Philadelphia 76ers to draft? They're on the clock. Jared McCain, jared. Mccain, you want a Tyrese Maxey. Jared McCain backcourt.
Speaker 2:That's not a bad backcourt.
Speaker 1:You think that'll work defensively. I mean he does have a little bit of hustle.
Speaker 2:I. I mean he does have a little bit of a cost limit. I think that they can go with that.
Speaker 1:I think that a perfect fit would be a Tobias Harris replacement, and I think that a perfect Tobias Harris replacement would be Dalton Kinnick At the same. Yes, he's small, but he would be playing next to Joel Embiid, so I think that makes up for it. I think that as long as they have Joel Embiid because he missed 43 games this season there were 16 and 27 without him okay, and they saw that Tyrese Maxey emerged. He became practically a superstar, averaging great numbers, became the most improved player. I think they have a great point guard and center and I think that they needed Tobias Harris replacement. I don't know how center, and I think that they needed Tobias Harris' replacement. I don't know how much I can express this enough. They needed Tobias Harris' replacement and Don Connect would be the perfect guy.
Speaker 2:They also need to pay Maxie because he's going to get a Max this year. Pick his in. I think that they let go of Kyle Lowry too. I don't think they keep him Because he was kind of like that backup point guard when Alphys. That didn't work out. I don't think they keep him. Jared McCain he knows what happened, he knows where he's going.
Speaker 1:Damn Dolan connected Fallon the Cam Whitmore.
Speaker 2:This is Lil Levis part two.
Speaker 1:This is Cam Whitmore, part two. If you were here last year, remember that. Why are they zooming?
Speaker 2:in on Tyler Smith, also Drama.
Speaker 1:Wait, no, that's Missy. That would be the stupidest pick of all time because they have freaking Joel Embiid on their team.
Speaker 2:I need him to go to.
Speaker 1:I need him to go to New Orleans. Oh, adam Silver, rob Dillian.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Ron, so is the daddy of the A-Trade. Okay, you already know that, we already know that.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, we know, and with the 16th pick in the 2024 NBA draft. The Philadelphia 76ers select Jared McCain. Jared.
Speaker 1:McCain, I do not like that.
Speaker 2:I like that this month. You see what why?
Speaker 1:is he bad? He's bad, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's ticked off. All right, I would have loved him in Orlando. Honestly, I would too.
Speaker 1:But If the Lakers get Dalton Connect.
Speaker 2:Who do they draft other than Dalton Connect, filipowski or Filipowski?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, filipowski.
Speaker 2:I think they take him.
Speaker 1:Also Jacoby Walter. If they want to move off of Isaiah Collier, if they want to move off D'Angelo, absolutely. But we know LeBron James. When has LeBron James ever drafted a rookie and played him significant minutes in his rookie season? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Never, that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1:It's LeBron James. He's always trying to win, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, they put his hobbies on the bottom of the thing Practices yoga, yoga, meditation and journalism.
Speaker 1:That's the most jared mccain thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 2:Journal link same thing oh cool, he has a hundred million likes, bro. Bro is a tiktoker.
Speaker 1:Yeah, look at him. That's why he would have fit so well with the freaking orlando magic, because he could just been dancing to the orlando magic, orlando magic oh, I still like this big the pick. Yeah, I think he's gonna start immediately yeah, because you don't have anyone. That's shooting guard but I don't like two, six, three guards in your backcourt I do.
Speaker 1:I think that's a good idea defensively well, defy, doesn't matter if you outscore them I think this helps and beat up and beat out a lot. I don't think this helps Embiid out a lot. I don't think this helps Maxie out a lot. I think this helps Embiid out because it takes people out of the paint, because it gives them another shooter.
Speaker 2:I feel like Jeremy Cain's going to be a great scorer, no matter what. I feel like he has scoring engine if he can score, no matter what.
Speaker 1:I don't think this helps out Tyrese Maxie, because now he has to actually hold his own on defense and he can't be covered up by another shoe he got.
Speaker 2:Yep, but this does help the 76ers.
Speaker 1:You know what? Who do you guys have the Lakers picking then?
Speaker 2:Next. I don't see who else they can pick. It's either who, you guys, hello.
Speaker 1:Where have we been picking?
Speaker 2:yet the Miami, tristan De Silva, you know what, but I think I might pick Konek too, chris. I think they pick Kyle Filipowski. Because why would they pick? Why would they pick Konek? Because he would be.
Speaker 1:Can I pitch something to you guys?
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:It's about Kyle Filipowski. Remember the 20. Okay, who have the Lakers lost to in the past two playoffs?
Speaker 2:Nuggets.
Speaker 1:Who's the best player on the Nuggets?
Speaker 2:Nicole Jokic.
Speaker 1:What position does he?
Speaker 2:play Center.
Speaker 1:And in the 2020, who won the NBA championship.
Speaker 2:Lakers.
Speaker 1:And Anthony Davis. They met the Nuggets in the conference finals and Anthony Davis did not guard Nikola Jokic. They had another center. Do that, they had Dwight Howard do that. I think that if they move Anthony Davis over to the four and they draft Kyle Filipowski, I'm not saying he can guard Jokic, I'm saying that it's better to have Anthony Davis play the four and have another tall guy at the five rather than have LeBron and AD be the four and five, and I think that's why they should take Phil and anyways, connect is a small forward.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you don't want that. You want LeBron to move back to the small forward.
Speaker 2:Unless LeBron is going to be gone.
Speaker 1:I'm saying, if he stays, yeah.
Speaker 2:Honestly, it's going to be Phil Bowski if he. I'm saying, if he stays, yeah, but yeah, honestly, it's going to be Filipowski if he stays and Konect if he goes. I think that's what they're going to do.
Speaker 1:Well, they don't know that, if he stays or goes.
Speaker 2:yet that's true, but if they are prepping for him to leave, they will draft Konect, if they are not, then they draft Filipowski, but also what's cool about it is the fact that who's the new coach of?
Speaker 1:the LA Lakers, jj Redick, jj Redick. He went to Duke University. Kyle Filipowski went to Duke also.
Speaker 2:There's a connection.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:There's a connection. Well, they're done for the night.
Speaker 1:Yep, wait, where's JJ Redick? Why isn't he in?
Speaker 2:the draft room. He probably already left.
Speaker 1:Look at that guy wearing shorts. The pick is in. So who you guys got?
Speaker 2:Who you got. I think I'm going to go with Phil Palsky.
Speaker 1:Phil Palsky. I thought you said Tristan De Silva.
Speaker 2:I think Tristan De Silva could be an interesting pick, though Could be but realistic I'm gonna say philipowski, what about? You philipowski, philipowski, yeah or heck even yves missy dude, I, I would have loved philipowski on the trailblazers. Okay, trailblazers, yeah, I had him going there and then they traded the pick.
Speaker 1:So what about? They already took clinging, though, and I thought, no well they.
Speaker 2:They traded the pick before.
Speaker 1:Oh, adam silver's up there oh, oh, it's the robert dillingham trade. No well, they traded the pick before. Oh, adam Silver's up there.
Speaker 4:Oh, oh it's the Robert Dillingham trade as part of a deal to be finalized later. The San Antonio Spurs are trading to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 1:The draft writes to Rob Dillingham. The eighth pick, Rob Dillingham and Anthony Edwards is insane and with the 17th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Los. Angeles Lakers select.
Speaker 4:Dalton Connect. Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Alright, so my prediction is that LeBron Davis will not be on that team next year With that pick.
Speaker 1:I can see it because we've said this his entire career. What has been the one thing about LeBron James? You guys know it. He's consistent. Surround LeBron with shooters. And what does Dalton connect A shooter? So I think that there's a possibility, but I just I don't think they can win. I think that they can do good in the regular season.
Speaker 2:They'll probably hang another pointless banner for the regular season championship again. But, I don't know what they do.
Speaker 1:Don't connect to the Lakers.
Speaker 2:I, I don't know. I feel like LeBron James is just going to leave, or at least the Lakers are ready for him to leave if he does with this draft pick. So we'll see. So next up is the Orlando Magic. So who do they pick?
Speaker 1:Yeah, who do you guys got Orlando picking? I think I have, maybe.
Speaker 2:I don't know, because I had them. They need a guard. Is it crazy to say Carlton, the character, is that crazy?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2:What pay 14. No, he that crazy. Yeah, it is. What pay 14. No, he didn't. Yeah, he did. Oh wait, no, that's Bob. Oh, yeah, carlton, oh, he's up there.
Speaker 4:Oh he's up, he's up.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say Jacoby Walter, why.
Speaker 2:I don't like that because you have Franz. You have Franz Wagner already at the small forward they have. Franz Wagner yes exactly where, because you have Paolo at power forward and you have Franz at the small forward and you have Jalen Suggs at the shooting guard and you have Wendell at the center.
Speaker 1:You need a point guard. Guess what they don't have a point guard. Guess what? They don't have a point guard. I guess this opens up the room for an Anthony Simon's trade. Portland has a logjam at the guards. Wait, anthony Simon's trade.
Speaker 2:Okay, and then they're going to get rid of Jeremy Grant, which will make for a room for.
Speaker 1:Oh Please, Anthony Simon's train.
Speaker 2:That would be. That's a championship winning streak. All right, hold your horses, anthony. I'm just putting it out there. Or they see him as a good backup to Franz, but why would you spend your first round pick on a backup small forward?
Speaker 1:Franz Wagner's really good at basketball. I mean, I don't know how I feel about this. I think that they should have drafted a point guard, but he is an all-around player who can do everything, but they have Franz Wagner at his position. So I don't really know how I feel about the fit on that team, but we saw Orlando mess up the draft last year also.
Speaker 2:Yeah, All right. So next up is Toronto. So who do you guys have going to the Raptors?
Speaker 1:Jacoby Walter. I think he would be perfect.
Speaker 2:Yep, I also have Jacoby Walter.
Speaker 1:He already got picked. Get him, get him, I think. So they have their franchise point guard, they have their franchise small forward.
Speaker 2:They have their franchise point guard. They have their franchise small forward. They have their franchise power forward. So they need a point guard and a shooting guard. I already said point guard, okay, shooting guard.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and center, but I don't think that there are franchise centers in this draft.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:But I think that Jacoby Walter can be a franchise shooting guard.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Especially with the fact that Emmanuel Quigley, who is their franchise point guard, is not the best defender in the world, and I think that Jacoby Walter is a pretty good defender. That's why I think that he would have fit extremely well with Tyrese Maxey on the 76ers. But yeah, I mean, I think there's no way they don't pick I mean it's the NBA draft, anything can happen, but there's no way they don't pick Jacoby.
Speaker 2:Mean it's the NBA draft, Anything can happen, but there's no way they don't pick Jacoby Walter. I don't understand why they wouldn't.
Speaker 1:Who do you guys have the Toronto Raptors drafting? Jacoby Walter.
Speaker 2:You have Jacoby Walter.
Speaker 1:Jacoby Walter. Knowing that all three of us just said that Jacoby Walter is going to get picked, we're going to get it wrong 1,000%.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Jacoby, walter, we got the right pick, let's go.
Speaker 1:I love that pick. He can 3 and D guy. He can be like a great shooting guard. He's not going to need the ball too much. He can score without the ball. Great shooter, great defender. I love the pick he can play extra quickly. He can play extra quickly.
Speaker 2:I like that. Pick a lot. So next, alright. So next up is Cleveland Cavaliers. So, kaya, you are the Cavs fan among the group, so who do you have them picking? Okay, this is a realistic thing, but it's a lot of realistic things I'm going to say, buddy. I'm going to say James.
Speaker 2:That would be. That would be something it's like. It's like you've had the great and you've had the greatest son, you know, mm-hmm. This is more of like. This is more than basketball, this is legacy, okay but actually though, actually though. And if it were different, I'd is Johnny Furphy. What I would love them to pick is obviously Brownie James, because of legacy, you know. It does get down to. It's not just basketball. The. Nba isn't just basketball, it's media, it's everything, it's everything. It's a collective thing.
Speaker 1:You know who I have them picking who? Stephon Castle?
Speaker 2:You really thought he would fall that far.
Speaker 1:Nope, I think that they're going to pick him right now. Darius Garland is a San Antonio Spur, according to my predictions.
Speaker 2:Oh that, that, ooh. Honestly, that wouldn't be a bad draft for San Antonio. Here we go.
Speaker 4:I got Tristan to silver. Mm-hmm, I do too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a guy, wait, wait.
Speaker 2:I don't think so.
Speaker 1:Look at him, it's a no. Lebron it's a pair man.
Speaker 2:All right. Well then LeBron's. Oh wait, lebron might go to Indiana because the Pacers might still draft Roddy. James, you never know All right, so Johnny Murphy.
Speaker 1:The last time. The last time a Jalen from Berkeley got drafted, he won NBA Finals MVP.
Speaker 2:It was too school.
Speaker 1:I'm going to ask you.
Speaker 2:I personally don't like this 2024 NBA Draft. You've asked me the Orleans Pelicans select Yvette Misi. Yvette Misi, yeah, misi, weves Misi, yeah, misi.
Speaker 4:From Yaoundé.
Speaker 1:Cameroon and Baylor University. We expected this Pick. Right, it's okay, we expected it. I think Isaiah Collier would be a home run pick if they get him. It's already in oh. If the Suns get Isaiah Collier, they're winning the NBA title. I think it's either Isaiah Collier or Tyler Kulik.
Speaker 2:I had Carlton Carrington feeling here. I could see that I would like that.
Speaker 1:I had Tyler Kulik. Tyler Kulik is one of those guys who can come in and immediately be the team point guard, and I feel like his job is going to be get Devin Booker, get Kevin Durant, get Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2:Well, the fact that they don't have Bradley Beal on that graphic is crazy.
Speaker 1:But I think that because what's his name? Isaiah Collier has fallen this far, he can still be a great point guard. I think they take him here.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, yeah, so we're thinking Isaiah Collier or Tyler Thaliff right.
Speaker 1:Or Falcon.
Speaker 2:Durant call you a horror, Tyler Koleck right.
Speaker 1:He's a horror. Koleck in turn. Tim Could've got taken. Buddy who the.
Speaker 2:Wizards, like 10 picks ago. Oh right, no, I keep on forgetting that his name is, that they called him by Bob Carrington, not his name. Here we go.
Speaker 1:I would prefer Tyler Koleck because he can actually be a true point guard and lead their team. But let's see.
Speaker 4:With the 22nd pick in the 2024 NBA draft. Phoenix Suns select Deron Holmes II from the University of Phoenix. Oh, oh, oh Holmes led the Atlantic 10 in scoring I don't know.
Speaker 2:Oh proposed trade to Denver. Wait, hold on, Hold on, hold on hold on. Phoenix is trading number 22 to Denver.
Speaker 1:For what?
Speaker 2:Number 28 and number 56 and two future second round picks.
Speaker 1:Why, if so, I love Deron Holmes to the Nuggets.
Speaker 2:I love it for the Nuggets, but why?
Speaker 1:if you're the Phoenix Suns, I think they're banking on Tyler Kolek or Isaiah Collier falling even more.
Speaker 2:I don't think they do.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, wait. What was the second round pick?
Speaker 2:Number 56. That's not Brawny.
Speaker 1:That's not Brawny.
Speaker 2:Come on, that's not Brawny.
Speaker 1:It's the Phoenix Suns. Where does Kevin Durant play If they're the type of team to make the big move? Where does LeBron play? They're both wings. Bradley be off the bench. Yeah. Come on now. That would be the most Phoenix Suns move.
Speaker 2:But no bench, no bench LeBron James. Phoenix Suns move, but no bench, no bench. Lebron James and Kevin.
Speaker 1:Durant.
Speaker 2:Kevin Durant, devin Booker and Bradley Beal. I don't care, wilkie, those four need to start. Just put LeBron on the power forward and call it a day.
Speaker 1:Or have LeBron play the one.
Speaker 2:And just shift everyone over.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm Beal at the two, Booker at the three.
Speaker 2:I mean, if it happens, we're just making hypothetical situations now, yeah, but Milwaukee, I don't know man, I have Isaiah Collier going to Milwaukee. I think I could be right. Who did I?
Speaker 1:No, can I just say a little PSA, the Damien Lillard trade. Who did the Bucs trade?
Speaker 2:They traded.
Speaker 1:Drew Holiday. What was Drew Holiday's best attribute Defense? What is the worst attribute Defense? So what did the Bucs struggle in all of this season? Perimeter defense. Perimeter defense, perimeter defense. Say that again, cole.
Speaker 2:Perimeter defense.
Speaker 1:Perimeter defense, and why don't they just get the best perimeter defender in this draft class? I think they take Ryan Dunn and I think that they're happy with that pick, because he does not need to score the basketball. Yes, he does not have an offensive game whatsoever, but they have Damian Lillard. So I think that the perfect home run pick would be to get the best perimeter defender in this draft and go for Ryan Dunn. I think that would be the best pick, honestly.
Speaker 2:so I had Deron Holmes going to Utah, but do they now take Johnny Furphy if he's available? Still Utah, you think Utah?
Speaker 1:takes Johnny Furphy, if he's available. Still Utah. You think Utah takes Johnny Furphy. I would love that pick. Yeah, oh, utah or.
Speaker 2:Milwaukee, Utah. Oh yeah, Instead of because he might still be available. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:I thought that could happen. That's possible, but now who did so? Phoenix is betting on Isaiah Collier or Tyra Colek falling to them. Yeah, so I had Tyra Colek going to Washington, but he's not going to Washington anymore, is he? I had Eves Macy going to Washington. Honestly, I could see that you would have Carrington and Coleck backcourt. That would be pretty cool, but I don't think that's happening, so I think they might draft uh, donny for feet that would be like two kais playing together on an aeg kai.
Speaker 1:You think you would work well with another one of you? Yeah, imagine he was white and extremely slow. Yeah, so it wouldn't work. Who do you think the Milwaukee Bucks will draft?
Speaker 2:They will draft Isaiah Collier, dude, damian Lillard. Who is their starting point guard right nowillard? Who is their starting point guard right now, damian? Okay, who's their starting shooting guard? Next question Exactly, isaiah Collier is probably the best fit for Milwaukee right now.
Speaker 1:He's not a shooting guard, though you can shift him. No, yeah, but the defense, if there's one thing that the Bucs need, is perimeter.
Speaker 2:It is perimeter defense.
Speaker 1:yes, and I think that Ryan Dunn is the best perimeter defender in this draft class. Ryan Dunn out of Virginia.
Speaker 2:We'll see, we will see oh.
Speaker 1:Adam Serrano. Uh-oh, the bald guy we will see. Oh, Adam's here.
Speaker 2:Adam's here, adam's here, uh-oh.
Speaker 4:The bald guy. That's funny. The 23rd pick in the 2024 NBA draft. The Milwaukee Bucks select.
Speaker 2:AJ Johnson. Oh, from Fresno, california, and.
Speaker 4:Australia's Illawarra.
Speaker 2:Hawks Um, okay, see where he's sitting.
Speaker 1:He wasn't supposed to be in the oh, why is he sitting in the bleachers?
Speaker 2:He wasn't supposed to be in the jockey first round.
Speaker 1:Is that?
Speaker 4:Jalen Green. Yeah, is that. Jalen.
Speaker 1:Wait, why is Jalen Green there?
Speaker 2:Probably a trans, probably a good trans, but who is he? I don't like that pick.
Speaker 1:I haven't studied his game whatsoever. I could not tell you a single thing about him.
Speaker 2:I don't like that pick. At least he's kind of local.
Speaker 1:To us. Yeah, I think that Ryan Dunn would have been such a good pick. They need perimeter defense, and now the Knicks are going to get him, and now they have the best defensive lineup in the NBA.
Speaker 2:There you go. This kid wasn't supposed to get drafted. He wasn't supposed to get drafted today, he just accomplished his dreams.
Speaker 1:He's lucky and attractive young man. No.
Speaker 2:No Diddy, no Diddy.
Speaker 1:I said no, diddy, I think that's going to be. I said no, did he All?
Speaker 2:right, so New York has two back-to-back picks.
Speaker 1:You're right.
Speaker 2:Do they trade one of them?
Speaker 1:I was thinking that one of them was going to be a part of the McKelvey trade.
Speaker 2:But it wasn't. So I have them taking Tyler Smith and Jalen Tyson with their two picks.
Speaker 1:Jalen Tyson already got picked.
Speaker 2:Wow, tyler Smith hasn't been picked yet.
Speaker 1:Yeahith hasn't been picked yet yeah, he hasn't been picked yet. Has tristan da silva been drafted yet?
Speaker 2:yeah wait to where wait, he didn't get drafted. No, he didn't. No, he didn't orlando magic all right, because we were. We were mocking them because they drafted him for no reason because they're franz wagner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think they take tyler smith or ryan dunn they, they.
Speaker 2:I think they have to take tyler smith, because they might not get isaiah harnstein back exactly that's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 1:Great much they look all right. So I think that they take ryan dunn and talisman in no particular order because of what cole said. Can you repeat that for the camera?
Speaker 2:because, uh, they might lose isaiah harnstein. I think if they draft tyra smith, they are not planning on resigning isaiah harnstein uh, no, I wouldn't say that I would say that I don't think they have the cap to resign him. That that's the thing, because, especially if they're signing og to a mass, you don't have room.
Speaker 1:You know, I would like to see him on the kinks yeah, but I don't think we're getting yeah, we're probably not getting him, but he would be perfect on the kinks if they have ryan dunn, the best perimeter defense in the nba teller smith potential. Potential Isaiah Harnesteyer replacement.
Speaker 2:If they lose one of that, if they trade away one of their picks, they're going to go. I think, Tyler Smith, I don't think.
Speaker 1:You think they already loaded up on perimeter defense?
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course they did. They have OG Anunobi Jalen Brunson and Mikael Bridges Brunobi OG Anunobi Jalen Brunson, oh Brunson and Mikael Bridges Brunson isn't the best defender but, yeah, he's okay, but as a point guard you don't like. If you have two other people in the front court that are like some of the best defenders in the league, you're fine. So I think, no matter what they go.
Speaker 1:Tyra Smith here tyler smith here, me too, but I think that it would be such an added bonus to get ryan done it would.
Speaker 2:But at the same time like if if they do trade it, I think any trade would be good, unless they don't get a first round pick next year because of miami's milwaukee's absolute blunder. You know, isaiah, like isaiah collier, probably does go to the suns now that AJ Johnson is.
Speaker 1:The Knicks have Jay LeBron, so they're not taking Collier. Yeah, after that.
Speaker 2:The Knicks do not need depth whatsoever.
Speaker 1:If Isaiah Collier falls to the second round.
Speaker 2:No no.
Speaker 1:No right.
Speaker 2:I think Phoenix drafts him. He can't be mock drafted like that. What Mock? Drafts him he can't be mock drafted like that. What Mock drafts don't always portray the full picture. It's not what.
Speaker 1:Cam. What was his name?
Speaker 2:Cam Whitmore.
Speaker 1:Cam Whitmore Fell last year. Yes, Paul. Great Pick is in Ooh proposed trade to the Wizards you know what?
Speaker 2:I'm going to figure that out, me too. So the Knicks traded number 24 to the Wizards for number 26 and number 51. So, pretty much, the Wizards move up two picks and the Knicks still have two back-to-back picks. Move up two picks and the Knicks still have two back-to-back picks?
Speaker 1:Yeah, because why would the Wizards trade up if they?
Speaker 2:don't want Collier.
Speaker 1:Who else is there to trade up for?
Speaker 2:So, then, the Knicks are still going to get Tywer Smith and.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but Bob Carrington and Isaiah Collier, two small young point guards.
Speaker 2:I don't like it. Washington wants something. Up here is.
Speaker 1:Here you go, Adam Silver. Who does Washington Wizards get?
Speaker 4:With the 24th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the New York Knicks select Keyshawn George from Monte Switzerland and the University of Miami.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think that might be their, I think that might be their Jordan Poole replacement, maybe, maybe, or their Kyle Kuzma replacement.
Speaker 1:He's not a forward, yeah.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, he's probably Jordan Poole replacement. Yeah, yeah, there it is Keyshawn George for 26.
Speaker 1:They really didn't think that Keyshawn George would fall two picks.
Speaker 2:I mean, all they lose is their 51st overall pick, which is a deep second round.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, lebron James to the New York.
Speaker 2:You know, you know he was hinting at it.
Speaker 1:He had the I love New York thing and the whole Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 2:They have two picks Tyrus, mcbridey, james, maybe.
Speaker 1:No, I'm saying like 51.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think Bronny James falls to the 50s.
Speaker 1:If the Knicks take, bronny Insane.
Speaker 2:I actually think that the Pacers are going to take Bronny at 36.
Speaker 1:And that leads us to the New York Knicks' pick.
Speaker 4:The New York Knicks select Hakom Dariye from Vitry Sersen. What?
Speaker 1:From Vitry Sersen, France, Same reaction as us.
Speaker 2:They have to take Tyler Smith here. Right, there's no way they don't take Tyler Smith.
Speaker 1:They just wasted their last pick. That's it, oh, no, 25. Wait, no, yeah, because they have Washington's pick.
Speaker 2:They have Washington's pick. Oh, they do, they have Washington's pick. That's it. Oh, no, 25. Wait, no, yeah, because they have Washington's pick.
Speaker 1:They have Washington's pick. Oh, they do. They have Washington's pick. My bad, if Robert Dillingham didn't go to the Wolves, then Anthony Edwards and Isaiah Collier would have been lethal. But Robert Dillingham and Anthony Edwards is even more lethal, so I'm okay with that. So that means that Tyler Kolek could fall out.
Speaker 2:Tyler Kolek. He could go to Denver.
Speaker 1:He could go to Denver, but back up Jamal Murray.
Speaker 2:I think I had Minnesota drafting Kolek, but I don't think they're doing that. I think Minnesota, they might go for a small forward.
Speaker 1:I think Minnesota has to go, Tyler Smith right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1:Carl Anthony Towns replacement. I mean Nas Reed is the Carl Anthony Towns replacement, so Nas Reed replacement. Maybe, and Carl Anthony Towns is gone.
Speaker 2:I had them getting Jalen Tyson.
Speaker 1:But Jalen Tyson went to the Cleveland.
Speaker 2:Oh right, he did.
Speaker 1:This is for you.
Speaker 4:In the 2024 NBA draft, the Washington Wizards select. Dylan Jones from Weber State University. Nobody cares.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, If Isaiah Collier.
Speaker 2:Wait. So the Knicks just picked Dylan Jones, if Isaiah Collier falls out.
Speaker 1:Wait, so the Tyler Smith is still there.
Speaker 2:Wait, what If Tyler Smith?
Speaker 1:goes to Boston. I'm going to crash out.
Speaker 2:Dude.
Speaker 1:They would be so overpowered.
Speaker 2:All right, I'm going to say this. No, this is a trade. There is a trade. Apparently, oklahoma City is setting five second round picks to the New York Knicks for Dylan Jones.
Speaker 1:I get it, but I don't get it at the same time, I get why they want to get off of five second round picks, because OKC has a plethora of picks and they need to move off of it.
Speaker 2:But Dylan Jones, dylan Jones Really. And they all span between 2025 and 2027. So five picks over three years is not, and especially their second round picks, that's not bad.
Speaker 1:That's great for the Knicks, because the Knicks just gave up five first round picks and they're getting five second round picks back. Picks are picks. I would take picks over no picks.
Speaker 2:But at the same time, for Oklahoma City, you could have Like, if that was the only reason why you didn't draft Tyler Smith, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Who did they draft? They drafted.
Speaker 1:Nikola Topic right. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the Thunder drafted Nikola Topic and now they have Dylan Jones. I don't like that. Phoenix is probably going to take a Kolek right. They'll take Tyler Kolek right or Kolear. So, no matter what, utah is going to win the draft, because they either get Kolek or Kolear, I guess, but I think, and then Boston gets Tyler Smith. Are you kidding me? Well, I mean, they kind of need it. They kind of need it. I don't like Jaden McDaniels starting. I think he would work better off the bench.
Speaker 1:I think he has a negative offensive game, but his defense is too good to put him in.
Speaker 2:That's true, he fits so well.
Speaker 1:No, it's Phoenix, Phoenix. I think that. Listen, I think that Kolek fits better. Get off of your spoilers, boy.
Speaker 2:Bro, I'm trying to find trades.
Speaker 1:I think that Kolek fits better with the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2:He does fit really well.
Speaker 1:But I think that Collier is a type of pick that the Phoenix Suns would make you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, pick that the Phoenix Suns would make you know what I mean yeah, yeah. It's a Phoenix Suns type pick.
Speaker 2:It is a Phoenix Suns type pick.
Speaker 1:The New York Knicks plan to trade out of their draft pick Max Isaiah Hartenstein and sign three second round pick rookies.
Speaker 2:Honestly, that's not a bad idea, because I was like they have to draft Howard Smith, because I don't think they're going to get Isaiah Hardenstein.
Speaker 1:They're not drafting anyone. They're only drafting second round picks who make significantly less money so that they can sign Hardenstein.
Speaker 2:That's so smart. We were all like the Knicks are really dumb.
Speaker 4:Oh, here we go With the 27th pick in the 2024 NBA draft those idiots. Yes, with the 27th pick in the 2024 NBA draft. Those idiots, those idiots. They did not need a forward. They did not need a forward.
Speaker 2:They did not need a forward. That's it. That's G&G. They did not need a forward. That's it, that's G&G. They did not needle forward. Why they're going to think smart. So Boston either gets Isaiah Collier.
Speaker 1:Gets Isaiah Collier.
Speaker 2:Or Tyler Smith, I'm going to crash out.
Speaker 1:If Boston gets Isaiah Collier, I love Boston, but if Boston gets Isaiah Collier, I love Boston. But if Boston gets Isaiah Collier, it's over for the league. It's over for the league.
Speaker 2:Is the NBA trying to make Boston another dynasty just so, then? Like? Is this just to piss us off, because we all hate Boston?
Speaker 1:I don't hate Boston.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:It's because the Cavs own Boston.
Speaker 2:No, the Boston need the Cavs this season.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the Celtics now own the Cavs With the 28th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Denver Nuggets select Ryan Dunn from the University of Virginia 6'8". When you come from Virginia, you better play defense, and that's where he will. With the 29th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Utah Jazz select Isaiah Collier from the University of Southern California.
Speaker 1:Projected lottery pick becomes the 29th pick in the draft.
Speaker 2:So Boston gets Tyler Smith. Guys. He doesn't look that good. Well, yeah, because he fell. Imagine you're set to be a top 10 pick in the NBA draft and you barely get picked in the first round this was.
Speaker 1:This was this was a worse fall than cams last year this was way worse.
Speaker 2:He's just glad that he got drafted, yeah that's I agree with what gorgeous he is.
Speaker 1:Our key, it's our yeah, see, you know who else didn't do hard work. He's in brownie james, but um what's he called? I just realized something the Utah Jazz have their franchise point guard. Yep, and it's not Isaiah Collier, it's Keontae George. So maybe Keontae George can slide. They have their franchise shooting guard. I think Collier would be the point guard. Keontae George shooting guard, I guess.
Speaker 2:Well, they have their franchise back guard.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let them try it out this year. And Cody Williams Wow, what a draft. That's it.
Speaker 4:With the 30th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Boston Celtics select Baylor Shireman from Creighton University, and that concludes the first round.
Speaker 1:What a draft by the boys. So bossing is Tyler Smith.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:I actually like Isaiah Collier as a player.
Speaker 2:If they draft Roddy James.
Speaker 1:LeBron's not going to boss he doesn't fit either. That would be the most troll move I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2:He doesn't fit either.
Speaker 1:I like that they need a white.
Speaker 2:It's not bad. It's not a bad pick.
Speaker 1:Tyler Smith is a second.
Speaker 2:That'll do it for.
Speaker 1:Nothing we Met this summer.
Speaker 2:We will see you when the season starts with predictions.
Speaker 1:Standings predictions, just like we normally do. We'll see you, guys, when we see you. Peace, thank you, peace out.
