NBA News, Notes, and a Slap Yo Face Trade Idea!

[00:00:00] It is Thursday, you know what time it is, FRPC Sports is back on the air, if you're boy Vince and we have a lot of basketball talk about and I can't wait to get to it.

[00:00:22] We are going to have a couple programming notes that we need to talk about. Rico should be back within, by the time the, I guess you want to say the trades can begin, Nico should be back and we're effortsing to get Dane Blackburn involved.

[00:00:46] And Australia is very very far away and the time difference is real tough where we don't work it out. So you caught up on that. Now we got to get to a couple things because a couple things just hit me within the last 10 minutes.

[00:01:04] There is now an absolute push to see if Danevin Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers is going to the New York next. I've talked about it on this podcast in regards to what it actually means for Danevin

[00:01:20] Mitchell to go to the next, how it looks, how it aesthetically looks and I still don't see the fit. Now obviously a dynamic score like Danevin Mitchell can help anyone. The problem is that Jalen Bronson, the point guard of that team is the heart and soul.

[00:01:43] So you will have a very small back court if you're telling me that Jalen Bronson and Danevin Mitchell are going to be in that back court together. So as much as I hear the yearning of Nick fans wanting a star, I still don't think this

[00:02:03] is the right one. I still think you guys have to be patient and just be lurking in the weeds for the next one. Now Danevin Mitchell in Miami Heat Garp, I can see that. I can see something like that. They need some dynamicism in their offense.

[00:02:26] He would provide that. He would help the scoring punch off of Jimmy Butler and Tyler He Rowland Bam out of the bio. So I'm not buying the Nick rumors as of yet, but there was a report and we are a podcast that brings you all the news.

[00:02:48] So Stephanie Bondi, the New York Post is saying that there's a growing frustration within the next locker room and it's directly at Quentin Grimes in his frustration with his role. There clearly needs to be a change, and if the Nicks can't afford to operate within

[00:03:10] the current version of Grimes, Bounty Grimes, they didn't make him an intouchable and trading negotiations for Donovan Mitchell in the past, and he would be one of the ones that would go out in the future.

[00:03:24] But again, whether he's up so with his role or not is inconsequential to this because when a star is being moved, well, you're just a casualty award. You're, unfortunately, you can be the greatest role player on the face of the planet,

[00:03:48] but when we're talking about the stars, we're talking about people who are really going to put you in that upper echelon of contenders for a title. If you're the person that needs to be moved or you're not satisfied with your role,

[00:04:06] unfortunately, you kind of have to get in with you fit in. Be the cog that you need to be. But I do understand Quentin Grimes has a very well this year. That's one of the reasons why he is out of the rotation.

[00:04:24] The Emmanuel quickly story that hit earlier today was kind of odd too. That contract structure where he had no guarantee money, and then we're no incentives in his contract. That was a contract that the next offered him.

[00:04:40] And this is a guy that has a chance of being like a six man of the year type of player. So I don't know what's going on with the next. I think that they are, they are star hunting. I do know that.

[00:04:55] I just don't know a donovan Mitchell is the actual guy for what they, what they really ultimately want to do. I really think it's going to be a wing. Now, you ask me which wing is going to be? I have no clue.

[00:05:15] But I think there's going to be a wing that finds his way to New York or big. But I think they really like Mitchell Robinson as well. So personally, this rumor to me is a lot to do about nothing, but we want to bring

[00:05:33] you to you just because the context. Things have started to circulate. We're getting close to that date. December 15th is a very important date in the NBA calendar, not because we're 10 games away from the Christmas games.

[00:05:50] These are now the first contracts of the free ages that signed in the Aussies and now they become tree eligible. So you're going to steer up to in rumors, people going here, people going there.

[00:06:07] And we're going to try to stay on top of all of it, but I want to bring that to you first. And it actually leads me into my next thing because we were going to talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers anyway.

[00:06:18] I watched him last night and had some impressions. And the first thing that I want to talk about is Evan Mobile. Evan Mobile last night is he's just not providing the impact to the cows roster that I first initially thought he could.

[00:06:39] It has nothing to do with the talent whatsoever, but I think it has to do with his actual nature of just being a differential. He's just not a real aggressive type of guy. And for me, this is my thoughts.

[00:06:59] For the cows to maximize the roster, they currently have the ceiling that for this particular roster with Donna, Donna, and Mitchell on it. Mobile has to take 16 shots again. He also has to take three or four, three is a game.

[00:07:19] Now it might be painful to watch this because in fact that he hasn't been shooting them and he's not shooting them well, but for them to get to that upper echelon, a contender as currently constituted the way they are right now.

[00:07:37] He has to be the one to make the leap. Struce, Max Drinks from the Miami Heat was an amazing pick up. He brought some of that juice that they needed for that offense, but the final piece to kind

[00:07:50] of click in if you think of it like a Lego, right? Just snap in. It would be Evan Mobile increasing his aggressiveness and providing 18 points solidly every single game and also being at the right on the outside. It's not something that is not in his game.

[00:08:13] It is there. It is just, do you have the confidence to shoot the shot whether it goes in or not? And understand that this is part of your developmental path. He needs to get over whatever it is that is not allowing him to shoot that shot.

[00:08:33] And I don't know if it's a coaching thing. I don't know if Kobe Altman has to come down from the executive office and tell him to do it. I have no idea, but somebody needs to get in that kids' ear and tell him that he needs

[00:08:48] to be a little more aggressive. Now the first thing we were going to lead in with is something that I thought was really funny. This is going to be a heavy, heavy, like rumour show. Casey Johnson who covered the balls, he's been just excellent over the years.

[00:09:13] The balls are hesitant to discuss any deal involving Alex Caruso. Now that's coming from the front office. Okay. Two things here. One, I understand the mode of operation they want to enter in on.

[00:09:34] But I want to give Chicago fans and also if Chicago, for an office, has not made this, has not thought of this. I hope some alarm bills go off. Zag Levine is going to miss another three to four weeks with the foot sorness.

[00:09:58] Right in time for January 15th. Why is January 15th important? Well, I'll tell you. That's the time when the Lakers and Rui Hachamora who signed his contract late, he will now get trade eligible.

[00:10:17] And then you can combine the salary of the Angela Russell and Rui Hachamora and bring exactly to the La La to LA in a broad West deal. Now I am here to tell you, here in Lakerland, I know people in Chicago want that.

[00:10:45] I don't know necessarily people in Los Angeles want that. I don't know if really anyone in that front office is very intrigued on the La La Vying part. But I know a lot of people in LA who are very, very interested in Alex Coruso.

[00:11:08] Here's the thing that I want to talk about. I understand that the bulls won the last three games on the row. The roster needs a major overhaul. In actuality, Coruso tied with deros and confed the bulls. A promising young player, and some picks.

[00:11:30] And here's the thing, those picks can replenish what you lost in the voosephist trade that you did a couple years ago that Orlando is still feeding off of Chicago. Front, front's Wagner, does that name ring a bell? That could have been a Chicago bull, right? This, you know.

[00:11:51] Hey, hey, we tried to be transparent here. Chicago just needs to go ahead and pull the bandaid off. And if you can't do anything with Levine because his desires to go to LA, well, you need to trade Alex Coruso and start the demolition of this team.

[00:12:11] Practical Williams has not fit the bill when he was the fourth overhaul pick about three four years ago. He has not lived up to the expectation. He has not lived up to the talent and whatever we thought was in there as a Uber athletic

[00:12:29] aggressive defender, maybe be able to hit corner three's at a respectable level. It just doesn't seem to have translated and it doesn't seem like it's going to pop. So you need to go ahead and infuse your team with some more young talent.

[00:12:49] So ahead and take your lungs and go ahead and start this development process and start it in earnest now. I understand that Chicago doesn't have the desire to do that as far as when we talk

[00:13:01] about ownership because they want seats, you know what they want fannies and seats and all that. But your product is pretty predictable at this point. Two, there's no Jews in your fan base about what you have on the court because the

[00:13:23] atrocity that you're throwing out there right now is it's hard to watch. Again, I do understand about the three game winning streak and it also coincided with that we're being not being on the court because from what I have been told so my sources

[00:13:43] have told me the last couple games you go back and watch that Zach Levine on the court. They said he looked listless, he looked like he was in a fog or it looked like he didn't care. I'm not going to say he did not care.

[00:14:01] I just think with everything going around that young man right now with his name being everywhere any time you pick up Twitter or ex any time you pick up ESPN like rumor article who hype or whatever it is.

[00:14:20] The first thing you see is Zach Levine's name up there so there's a lot going on. I can understand maybe, you know, your head got caught up with the mix and you just need it a little time away.

[00:14:31] So let's let this marinate for a second but as far as Chicago is concerned, wait no in Caruso and try to figure out what you're going to do or try to keypom. Let me tell you something this is 29 okay it's not like he's super old but

[00:14:49] he's 29 in your your timetable for winning does not match his. So if he's going to be the priest that's going to get you the most back as far as pick so whatever case it may be. Go ahead and take that deal as immediately all right.

[00:15:11] Let's get to a couple other things um we talked about a lot of about some little downtrodden things but we're going to talk about some pure sunshine now you know. All right let's get into some happy news um let's shout out to guys who has some big time

[00:15:29] performances last night. We're all aware it's going all over Instagram and X and TikTok. Jol M. B. put up a 50 piece last night okay 13 rebounds and seven times now he did have six turnovers we will talk about that because the one thing that we need to understand

[00:15:52] listen is impressive that Jol M. B. score 50 points last night. No doubt in that victory over the Washington Wizards. By the way Jol M. B. against the Washington Wizards this year 49 points a game.

[00:16:10] So my man he he wasn't playing against as Washington as much as he possibly can okay. But the six turnovers is still the thing that is going to be the piece that haunts Jol M. B.

[00:16:25] In the playoffs because he has to be able to value the basketball. I do like that he is becoming a very giving offensive initiator and getting his other teammates involved and maybe as he continues this process throughout the year the turnovers will start to

[00:16:47] decide a little bit. That's the hope but he's been a turnover magnet since the day he started playing so I don't know if that's something that really gets out of his game but I do like that he's offering the ball sharing the sugar with his teammates but shoot

[00:17:08] shout out to our guy Jol M. B. for dropping a 50 50 bomb on the Washington Wizards but he wasn't the only one getting up the points last night because we got two other guys to shout out

[00:17:24] and you know anytime anytime I get the chance to talk about Desmond Bay or the Memphis Grizzlies I'm definitely going to do that because Desmond Bay is one of our favorites here at FRPC

[00:17:40] He scored 49 points last night six rebounds eight times he was seven for seven from the Freethor line my wife will love that because Freethor's are three as she would say I mean listen they've had a down season they're like eight games under five hundred at this point

[00:18:04] But that kid is always on that kid is always trying to get better He is a major major building block for the Memphis Grizzlies I'm just a huge fan of his I love kids that just get it out the mud

[00:18:23] He is one of those and he is work extensively on his game on playmaking on his defense He looks like a great god, you know that dudes arms or in shoulders are ridiculous But a shout out to our god Desmond Bay or put up 49 last night

[00:18:46] But you would think that's where all the love I would have to give with with in right there no I have another Look at Donchage last night 40 points Okay 11 rebounds and 11 dongs last night So he had a 40 point triple double

[00:19:13] It seems like oh hat for look at Donchage at this point Here's the most impressive thing they beat the brakes off a Utah last night 50 points That was the deficit last night and I tell you here earlier

[00:19:31] And if you are new to the podcast go back and get into the crates You know crack open the crates get into the archive pods Because they are available on Apple Spotify Amazon music but most likely

[00:19:48] Spotify mostly because I want to see how many times on end up on people's Spotify wraps next year But a 50 point deficit We said early in our predictions that we thought that Utah would kind of scale back the

[00:20:09] The onslaught they were putting on to the NBA last year And if you notice this year Some of the rotations look a little funky Walker Kessler has been coming out to bench now. I know he's coming back from injury and what have you

[00:20:26] John Collins is getting a lot of burn Our guy who we loved in the draft process Taylor Hendrix out of central Florida getting no love whatsoever right Our guy cannot take Georgia bailer. He's getting a lot of love which is good

[00:20:43] So we're happy about that but it's just a funky roster You can you can almost tell it's kind of like well This is what we have It's not really dude not really but

[00:20:59] They got beat by 50 their towards the bottom of the league and I think it's kind of by design if if and once we can real honestly I think it's really by design All right You know what I want to get to a couple draft things

[00:21:18] Now we said that we're going to be doing this so we're gonna you know we're feeding it into you a little bit The guy that I really want to talk about is Is a Nicola talkage From he from mega

[00:21:32] Now this is the overseas kid now he just turned 18 So I want I want you to understand That he's playing in the Adriatic league He's 18 years old He's six six about 200 pounds He issued in 61.6% from two pointers right now that mean he's going to the hall

[00:21:58] He shoot mid-rangeers He's got 20 footer down now three point shot not as great yet But he's getting he's getting six he's getting 17 points

[00:22:12] Five he's getting seven dimes five and a half rewounds and he's shooting 80% from the free throw line so I have all the hook in the world That the three point shot will come along

[00:22:26] By the way, he's getting he's it's not like this kid is free-lancing and just jacking up shots Top coaches getting all of his brilliance within the framework of the offense Like I said he does struggle from three but it's the three point

[00:22:45] Shot does come along and it becomes respectable it just becomes like he becomes like a 35% shooter This is many Luca Donchage Now you might say since that sounds like hyperbole The one thing that I'm not gonna do anymore in my drought coverage now obviously I'm gonna

[00:23:10] Do a lot more work on the kid What have you but from what I have seen so far? His instincts for the game his court vision His willingness to get in there and and grab rebounds his Competitiveness and his ability to

[00:23:35] Share the ball with his teammates and he plays a enjoyable game to watch So we like the Nicole a yokeage way plan we get a lot of love to demented subonence on the last pot on Monday

[00:23:53] So if you have to check that out in your kings fan go check that pot out But this is another kid that is gonna be very skilled And he's gonna have a chip on his shoulder

[00:24:07] And he's gonna want to prove that he's gonna be one of the very best that has come over so I think you're gonna There's no doubt to me if three point shot comes along I think he can be a front end

[00:24:24] Rotation guy. I don't know necessarily he can be your number one But he might be a really awesome three in a and a legit too like in a pinch so um If you haven't checked them out on you too

[00:24:42] Topic it's spell like topic so T.O.P.I.C And he's from mega and He's one of the high draft picks or right now scheduled to be in the lottery or whatever but I wanted to show him some love right now because

[00:24:59] What I've been able to see from him has been really impressive and it's the instincts that I love the most The scoring and all that yeah, I mean we see a lot of dudes put up 25 now It's the instincts That have me buzzing a little bit about him

[00:25:20] Because he does get into passing lanes He does know when to kind of maneuver his defender These are things that you usually you see and people who are like been in lead like four five years He seems to have some of this down now so

[00:25:38] People look out for Talkage of mega and we'll have more on him as We continue along with the draft process, but I definitely wanted to shot him out The other guy that I wanted to shout out too is um Re-shepard O'Conntucky Re-shepard

[00:25:55] Niko has been doing a lot of work on him and he's He's caught Niko's eye The one thing what Re-shepard is that what you're gonna get he was the last of the Kentucky recruits

[00:26:07] He wasn't as highly rated even though he was a McDonald's all American I think he was like 24th overall We'll have you But this kid can fly out shoot And when he's parent we're dealing how Those two in the back court seem to feed off one another

[00:26:26] They seem to have some sort of connectivity that is Organic and it seems to be that they're best lineup even though I know that DJ Wagner is the most valuable Who died that they got in the recruiting wars over have you? I think the dilling ham re-shepard

[00:26:47] combination his given Kentucky dividends exponentially so far so Keep a lookout for re-shepard watch a Kentucky game You know if you start in your draft process now All right now I have a couple more things to get to and then we can get up out here the

[00:27:13] It's our annual time of season to ponder the trade assets of the one to run around us Now Here's the thing We go through this almost every year and then we're always teased by Oh well OG and Annovys going here

[00:27:40] Last year was Fred van Blie right Fred van Blie was going somewhere There was no way they were gonna lose him for nothing right and Again He was another I said that walked away in Fred van Blie he went to Houston He got the 40 million dollar contract

[00:28:04] per year and he walked for free We are staring down the barrel of Pascal Sioccaum OG and Annovys and Gary Trent Jr walking away from Toronto I am a little incredulous but I As somebody who does this for living As somebody who analyzes the NBA

[00:28:40] This to me is almost like Mel practice at this point They must do something with these guys I don't care if you blow it up I don't care if you get veteran talent in there if you want to just have an influx of like

[00:28:55] You just want to be you know like high 40s you know wind total and give your fans some excitement and get into the playoffs And maybe get to the second round and get a little risky okay fine

[00:29:08] But you can't let these guys walk away for absolutely nothing not this one This one would be A grounds too far okay. This is just a step too far Let's talk about what they have okay so Pascal Sioccaum is in last year of his deal He's making 37

[00:29:29] 1,893,48 dollars that's what his captain over is right now But as we continue to go down the season That number goes down as well So now we're a quarter away through the season So what we can take uh Take nine to 10 million off of that down okay

[00:29:56] Pascal Sioccaum would be great on a lot of teams. I think we've heard the gunstate warriors a lot This might be a sneaky Heat culture guy My wife would like that because any help for Jim Butler Is something that she it's almost like Sally Schroeder's ask You know

[00:30:21] Back in the day she used to have these like late night informartials about dogs Satin and things of that nature um I think modern day what's what's the what's the ladies name who say Sarah McLaughlin sings a song songs of it song of angel

[00:30:41] So you know we heard we've heard we've heard a lot of people asked for Pascal Sioccaum to be traded There's a lot to do in there because you can do Multiple pieces young pieces back They have Multiple years on your contract

[00:31:06] You could get like one big piece that's an expiring contact and get picked back There's so much you can do with just that specific contract alone Now if you add in OGM and OV's 18 That 18 million 642, 857 dollars um Here is a Very meddling contract very easy to move

[00:31:33] He is a wing that a lot of people would desire a lot of franchises would like that um And again Because we're still in that kind of we're moving towards the completion of the new CBA but next year you won't be able to

[00:31:56] Cut salaries on top of one another to get to that number but this year you can So there's a lot of teams that can get to that 18 million dollar number at this point

[00:32:08] And again what do you want for Angie? OGM and OV do you want picks I would think you probably want picks right unless you fail That you're scouting department Found something in a guy that you weren't able to draft at the time of whatever

[00:32:26] And you are getting something that has You know can marginalize a little bit and somebody is a diamond on a rough I don't know what you do there but there's another contract that should be moved before the deadline

[00:32:43] And then we get to Gary Trent junior Gary Trent junior is a sharp shooter He's also six six he also has a little On ball creation He would be a great just 3 in D wing

[00:33:01] You know, we'll we'll keep the D in there is not a lot of D but there's some D in there He's making 18 million 560 thousand just on the button and he's an unrestricted free agent next year So These are three guys these are the usual usual suspects for Toronto

[00:33:24] These are names that you're gonna hear a lot of you might hear Chris Bouché also like thrown in as part of a deal But this has to be the year for Toronto this has to be the year that they move

[00:33:37] Whether it's in one direction of getting vets in there and trying to make a playoff push or it's getting younger Given the team to Scotty Barnes in earnest, you know not just in theoretical and allowed them to completely rebuild this team and See what Messiah Jerry could do

[00:34:03] What I've been told is that it's more the ownership group his handcuffed him That's the work I don't know how this Ownership group can look at their team and go you know what At least kids just gel together We can be a 50-win team right next year

[00:34:27] Unfortunately time is run out Pascal Siakong will be gone next year if you don't trade it OG you still can he'll be a restrictor for agents so you still have some capability Retaining him or trading him in the office and but you don't have that luxury for

[00:34:46] Siakong or Gary Trent Jr so time In the hour glass is starting to run out for the Toronto Raptors so we hope we're gonna be monitoring that situation As we get closer and closer to December 15th and January 15th

[00:35:05] But I think we'll see something start to park a late around the 15th and just a little way before at least we'll have maybe more clarity about Who are some of the players who are gonna jump out and grab some of these assets early as well?

[00:35:24] Is there anything else oh How do funny little skid about this That's still gonna use it anyway This is a vibe that I get from Toronto at this point in time You know we just talked about all the assets time is running out but this is a vibe

[00:35:51] Should they kick off to start at a rebuild? Nassun There's now how we do things around OVO country OVO Drake y'all get it We allow our assets to sit and lose value annually now daily That's the vibe here son

[00:36:15] Listen whatever strategy is in Toronto it needs to be fixed because I again You can't help assets like that just walk out the wheelie It's it's it's mouth practice to the franchise and as a disservice to the scottie barns of the world and some of the

[00:36:30] Y'all other young pieces that you have there so I hope Toronto gets their stuff together and makes these trades and get everything On track speaking of change. I'm gonna end the pod with two dozees so bear with me Probably be breakout clips here later The warriors

[00:36:58] They're just too small Like I'm looking at this team and I love stuff I do but they're small Here's a couple things that I think can fix the warriors at this point I would like to see Clay Thompson is kind of a six-man

[00:37:19] Like a microwave score off the bench now you don't have to worry about whether he's taking on like You know one of the tougher defensive roles or whatever now he's going up against second units mostly I think also

[00:37:32] Him being able to move around with the second unit maybe less pressure on him I think he might be able to flourish in that role. I told you that thoughts so here we go The second thing that I would do with the guns they warriors

[00:37:49] I would trade Chris Paul To either San Antonio or New Orleans That'd be funny training under New Orleans right Here's a reason why I'm looking at trading Chris Paul both those teams have wings

[00:38:05] That are long and they also have a big that they can bring back in return Danny players that can fit their system and Right now what they have on their roster really doesn't Chris Paul does a ton of picking role

[00:38:29] Like when he wasn't Phoenix you know part of 100 possessions doing like like 36 picking roles again Right and go and state I think they average like 11 like total So they know they don't adhere to those type of principles that Chris Paul Is very effective in

[00:38:55] Now you send Chris Paul to San Antonio it helps Victor went by Yama's development right It would give them a grown-up on the court and They have some things that would fit What San Antonio's doing right now Right

[00:39:16] The other thing that I would love to see trade Jonathan Camingo tie him with wiggins and Get somebody who can consistently give Steph Curry A real running partner when it comes to the offense right now Steph is doing way too much He is carrying that team

[00:39:49] There every once in a while Andrew Wiggins comes out with like a 17 to 22 point game Drainman is not a offensive threat Clay like I said I think if we put him as a six-man role

[00:40:06] He might be more effective but he's not given Steph the help that he needs right now We have Kill the confidence of Jonathan Camingo We killed the confidence of Moses Moody You are betrayed it James wiseman away

[00:40:28] You need to get step if you're trying to keep your championship window open You need to get Steph some real help You need to get bigger one two you need a offense of potent offensive second to Steph Curry And at this point in time

[00:40:55] He is a Hall of Fame player he is a four-time champion He's one of the best guys in the NBA This was people's concern but Clay probably needs to take a more tertiary role at this point Oh and then the last thing

[00:41:17] Allow a Pazimski and if you keep Moody allow them to play through their mistakes because those wings Those guys can help them and their dynamic and athletic and they should allow them to play through the mistakes and

[00:41:31] develop these guys and and and stop playing around and talk about these championships that you had longer go Okay, it's time to get these guys going get them ready Get them ready to play meaningful minutes in the playoffs

[00:41:46] And the only way they can do that is you allow them to play through their mistakes Kind of like something that Curry used to do with Steph Curry back in the day So Sounds about right to me All right, we're gonna end on a big one

[00:42:04] I've been thinking about this for the last couple days because I just couldn't figure it out And this is probably gonna hurt Bill Simmons a lot but I Watch the Celtics and the Celtics are very good team

[00:42:18] They are probably one of the best teams in the NBA by record your definitely shows They also have a really dynamic offense It starts off with a seven foot three Aircraft carrier in Christophe, Parzingas and also you know you have the just a brilliant or Jason Tatum who

[00:42:38] Is going to be all NBA again. He's just Fantastic in every way But the one thing that I did notice about Boston is they played one style and it is drive and kick and that is it There is no

[00:42:57] Let's get the ball inside pound it whatever case you need to be So Another Boston fans are a little worried about jailing brown And his contract But also know that Under no circumstances Do you want to see jailing brown go away?

[00:43:23] Well, maybe after you hear the name that I'm about to say and some of the reasons why You might want to rethink that Here's what I like to see in Boston. I want to trade Zion Williamson for jailing brown And patent pressure now here me out

[00:43:47] New Orleans is the first reason the city of New Orleans is going to win in this deal You talk about a civic leader you talk about somebody who really cares about the black community and wants to influx of

[00:44:00] You know economic growth in the black community jailing brown is your guy Okay, he is very active when it comes to social and economic issues in the black Community he's done a lot in Boston. He's done a lot in other areas where he is Plant to his flat

[00:44:23] Number two Branding and beyond what's the difference between b i and Jason tail I mean he be playing with another another offense a creator long wing That he can play while into there

[00:44:42] Actually might get maybe the same amount of shots that he gets here in Boston so it's a win-win there as well But as far as the play is concerned it's not far off from what he's currently doing now The the third reason and this is what self-excite

[00:45:05] Yes, you're going to lose a little defense when it comes to Zion Williamson no doubt right no doubt But Zion's gravity His ability to play make In fine open shooters keeping mine The Boston Celtics currently Have Derek White

[00:45:27] Christophe Prorzingus and Drew Holiday and also obviously the Jason Tatum But as far as sharp shootings concerned if you're telling me that Zion Williamson is kicking it out to those three guys On the perimeter and all they have to do is catch and shoot

[00:45:45] Because there are four dudes in the lane As Zion Williamson is barreling in on the goal This sounds awesome to me This is why I highly approve this trade

[00:46:01] I think it would truly open up the offense. I understand they're one of the best offense the teams in the you know In the NBA now but listen

[00:46:10] If you want to put it over the top you want to be mentioned in the offense like Nicole a yolk it's things that nature a dynamic 6 foot six 300-pound weighing in Zion Williamson And here's the other thing that I think What even hell Zion

[00:46:31] I lived in Boston for 15 years as you know I talked about it a lot That's one of the best sports cities In in the country now I'm not sitting here and say oh well this this place is better. I'm just talking about from what I view

[00:46:50] How they care About their team And maybe this is what a Zion would need A place that cared a lot about the game and about him And how he performed and Maybe just maybe he would feel Accountable to that fan base and

[00:47:13] Want to play and we would see the true Zion Williamson And if you're an NBA fan that's all you ever wanted is to see the true version of Zion Now Couple other things the pills fan base would no longer hold their breath About whether Zion was gonna play

[00:47:45] The one thing you know while jailing brown is he's gonna post every single day this do wants to play He doesn't miss games Okay, he does not miss games. Oh Bonus for The New Orleans Pelicans Disney said trade Murphy the third Can get out of prison and

[00:48:07] Play some basketball and the reason why I say it like that is because what Zion there Trade Murphy is definitely going to be in a tertiary role Without Zion there you can have a roster construction where you have You have a

[00:48:27] Valentunus as your center yet trade Murphy the third as your powerful for it Yeah, brand the ingram as your small for yeah jailing brown is your two guard and CJ McCullum Do you have spacing Can Jailing brown get to the rim and dunking people's face?

[00:48:47] Because oh yeah, he still has that by the way you it's not like you getting a bad athlete in jailing brown Okay, this dude will dunk on people People will we put on posters

[00:48:58] We're gonna be calling people's mama and asking them are they okay? Because your son just got just he's dead I'm sorry jailing just dunked our him Okay, so It's a win win the money works by the way and Here's the last little piece that I'll give you

[00:49:23] The player personal male guy Griffin and Traging Langdon in New Orleans There's sitting on picks just still sitting on picks they got liquor picks They got other people's picks and they got their own so why you country is ready to make a big deal

[00:49:47] And I think it'll help both franchises now listen You can think this is click bait if you want I put a lot of thought into this deal personally

[00:49:59] And I think for a Zion you need to change a scenery my man if you have a notice you will now the number two option In New Orleans oh here better yet

[00:50:11] You go to Boston and you like like the number three or four option and now whatever you do It's just gonna be loved Let's crush on you my guy Let's crush on you For Jailant

[00:50:27] You give him a community like New Orleans to rally around him and he can embrace that and all of the things that have gone on in those parishes in New Orleans over the years Man, I don't know to me if there was a Better trade out there

[00:50:54] So just something for everybody to think about now if you strongly disagree or agree You know what if I'm the old x front runner PC baby all day all night Check out the YouTube channel front runner podcast collective we will have clips up there

[00:51:14] Efforting to put up clips a couple more clips from last pod and also we gonna put up clips from this pod Cuz I'm sure a lot of people I want to gonna want to debate my jailing brown for Zion trade
