draft in the oklahoma city thunder cause

2:51

we did a full and be a files for the on tuesday's

2:54

episode of the mismatch so

2:56

to talk about okay see in the draft i brought

2:58

on my friend from the ringer tyler parker

3:00

as well as a new friend andrew slacks

3:03

from the athletic as ago and guys

3:05

the money by for having us guessing mm

3:08

this is i am very excited about that it wasn't part

3:10

of the time was there is an honor

3:12

to be her know the thank you had rented tyler

3:15

appreciated i i wanna talk of casey

3:17

today because of course

3:19

okay is he has he has to pick in the draft i also

3:21

have before picking the draft they have to

3:24

other first i wanted a first round pick as

3:26

was thirty fourth pic in

3:28

the second round so for pigs in the top

3:30

thirty four they have more draft capital then

3:32

anybody else right now and they have

3:34

done on one of the the most intriguing

3:37

young teams in the league with sta

3:40

josh kitty we see the importance right

3:42

now in the and be a playoff that we've been watching

3:44

about having really no weak

3:47

links in your defense having size

3:49

and versatility and with okay see grand to be

3:51

a young granted their bad granted they have a top

3:53

accurately some the in the wind call on this

3:55

past season i'm so incredibly

3:57

intrigued by their long term potential

4:00

what big a deal with it with the four picks up a have

4:02

an issue is rational and you just have no start

4:04

off i guess let's let's talk about i were a okay

4:07

see develop what what they

4:09

develop into last year where they're going out

4:11

of a sort of a singles alexander i'm

4:13

here another good season twenty four point five points

4:16

per game is efficiency was way down

4:18

than what it was the season prior the twenty

4:20

twenty one season with oklahoma city out

4:22

what's your overall assessment of guilt is alexander's

4:24

development ah with what we saw this past

4:26

year the shooting definitely

4:29

took a hit and the first part of the season

4:32

and that was a little bit of concern

4:34

but he was getting worse

4:36

shots this year i mean he's getting more

4:38

double teams mean the other teams are focusing

4:41

on him totally because

4:43

you throw just getting out there while he's a

4:45

tremendous passer you don't have to worry

4:47

about him on the perimeter at all then

4:50

the second best score on the team is lou door it

4:53

was great this your average seventy points per game

4:56

literally nobody cared if he shot the basketball

4:58

and go to have shea out there

5:01

creating stuff it

5:03

was tough for him but one

5:05

thing that we learn about amazon the

5:08

left hand is a little bit of a question like

5:10

is he gonna be able to drive finish last it

5:13

looks easy for him now that's

5:15

one thing that he devil i developed and

5:18

then you look at the thirteen games after

5:20

the all star break earning

5:22

thirty five and seven on

5:25

thirty nine percent from three during

5:28

that stretch it didn't matter most that stretches

5:30

without just get a all but one of those games that

5:33

are just getting and he

5:36

could do whatever he wanted and so

5:39

i think you'd blossoming into the player that

5:41

they would have hoped he could be and

5:44

if they can get so my real spacing

5:46

which they could acquire that it to

5:48

enter twelve in this next draft they

5:50

get could unlock something and him because

5:52

he led the league and drives once again

5:55

these gonna be a tremendous

5:57

up and supplier and the duties

5:59

as one of the most vibrant personalities

6:01

and the and be a i mean something people don't know

6:04

i think people watch him play they seize on this

6:06

crap okay see team that they are this guy

6:08

is gotta be miserable right i

6:10

mean he walks in the exit interviews to

6:13

talk about this wretched season and

6:15

he's just like good morning good morning everybody

6:18

likes the fit under ,

6:20

are like reagan don't us and behind me like

6:22

an hour to say this is

6:25

is just a delightful person and

6:27

delightful ah you know if you're a thunder family

6:30

gets to be really excited that is on the team it

6:32

seems like somebody that gives you hope right tyler was

6:34

the will a minute that's the thing that

6:36

has made this rebuild

6:39

far more palatable from

6:41

day one was just like chaise

6:44

exist and so on the roster right you

6:46

don't feel like you're starting at zero

6:48

you feel like you start with something you

6:50

know substantial that can turn into something

6:52

even more substantial yeah i mean

6:54

talk and you're talking about those

6:56

last thirteen games i mean he

6:58

was getting downhill whenever he wanted to in that's

7:00

been the case for the last two years really but

7:03

just especially then whenever

7:05

whenever his shots right that

7:08

unlocks so much more

7:10

for him go into the ram and he's already

7:12

dangerous they're like andrew same with the

7:14

left is better but he says david so much

7:16

crap just in general like in

7:19

the line with movement you

7:21

know multiple euros in the floaters

7:24

with the off hand and things like that

7:26

that you know look weirdly

7:30

repeatable you know i mean they don't know a

7:32

the look like luck right and

7:36

he's , a little bit of

7:38

kyrie and him in these

7:40

like kind of acrobatic offhand

7:43

finishes and things like that double clutches

7:45

stuff you

7:47

know not your traditionally

7:50

like huge dude but you

7:52

can take such a big strides

7:55

and and he's always on balance

7:58

the so yeah these

8:00

shots right it just makes him all

8:02

that much more they're

8:05

saying to deal with like like andrew

8:07

saying i mean it's york times last year

8:10

you're looking at a for the

8:12

sky you know dairies paisley

8:15

owner who especially earlier in the year

8:17

can't hit the ocean you've got

8:19

derrick favors who's never been a shooter you

8:22

got lou door to like last

8:24

year and the year before that weirdly

8:26

he's like just smoke and from

8:28

the corners is like forty four percent from course as

8:30

your forty six i think the of for that's what

8:33

anywhere else on the perimeter and it's

8:36

griggs i'm guessing game right and then

8:38

you got getty there's there you

8:40

know the time he spent his stretches

8:43

shea is seeing every

8:46

eye on the defense carrying so we

8:48

about him you know often

8:51

times you know he's like the his see

8:53

in two bodies on the ball right but he's also

8:55

got guys cheap map at the nail on

8:57

the title she's she's dealing with a lot

9:00

and i think it'll help him going forward

9:02

i think as he gets more space

9:05

it's gonna be that thing where he's just

9:07

sort of realizing like oh i didn't i

9:09

didn't know how bad i had it you know that

9:12

way into like the left hand improving

9:14

you know because both you guys mention how that got better

9:16

for him he is driving at top top for the league

9:19

last year in l and and the twenty one

9:21

twenty two season top league again and drives for

9:23

game by like what do you guys are both

9:25

ascribing with a lack of spacing it seems like

9:28

andrew kind of forced him like a or in

9:30

i can be even better more efficient are

9:32

these drives run by expanding what i'm doing that

9:35

it out a use a guy that doesn't make excuses about

9:38

i can't do this as number it's a ah he's

9:40

just like i'm gonna get better give the as supreme

9:43

belief that he's gonna be one of the best players in the mbs

9:46

and , continues to prove like through

9:48

off season the work that he puts in and

9:51

just the way the organization feels about him

9:54

in i think some people questioned whether he would be

9:56

a guy that could be on the trading block because

9:58

he is entering his second time rack and

10:01

the thunder wanna stay young they want to rebuild

10:03

slowly but i

10:05

would the be very very

10:07

surprised if sorry than having discussions about

10:10

him right now i think they think

10:12

of him as one of the pieces

10:14

moving forward and what he was able

10:16

to do this year really solidified that

10:19

there were those rumors during the

10:21

twenty one draft about potentially

10:23

building hand the gate gate coming here who

10:25

have force went to detroit this point

10:28

you know you get as yea only twenty three

10:30

years old i turned twenty

10:32

four before next season in july still

10:34

super young just starting out of contract

10:36

you mention that close to the seasons

10:39

the last thirteen games and he averaged thirty point

10:41

four point seven point three assists five

10:43

point eight rebounds nearly forty percent from

10:45

three i mean the dude was absolutely

10:47

crazy but i remember i'm

10:49

i'm i'm more dagnall said around

10:52

the time the deadline a good he's gonna be the guy

10:54

can a run of the so the rest the way but then he got

10:56

hurt as big as side of at any

10:58

for my last fifteen twenty games over the

11:01

nightly triple double but as

11:03

okay wasn't playing at that time and

11:05

eighty was really starting to figure out the

11:07

way he can get to the bathroom trade his spots

11:10

from mid range and free for others so we

11:12

didn't see those guys dominate

11:15

the gather our dude

11:17

you see those guys like oh that is

11:19

is sort of disappointing when i see that at all

11:22

or or as a like how do you feel about

11:24

the thought but like the give us the eighth it was

11:26

never a plus at

11:28

the same time i think

11:30

it is disappointing that we didn't get to see

11:32

them together more you know

11:34

late in the year whenever

11:36

you know she was really right

11:40

and you know before getting god the

11:43

shut down you know i think the

11:45

real his last four games he had had triple

11:48

doubles tsunami like he was really really

11:50

i mean either the the you

11:52

know the way of bad right

11:54

was the him as she game where you know

11:56

him and courageous go

11:59

bonkers the a toy it's twelve

12:01

assists eleven rebounds it's a super

12:03

super fine like crazy are making

12:06

from try and just like getting a doing all

12:08

of his whatever like if

12:11

if somebody was like what can he do you

12:13

would need to show them anything other than that get

12:15

iraqi gave you all of the the

12:18

all the juice right arm

12:20

i i i that the spirit

12:22

changes in you know not

12:25

entirely on shays

12:27

shot by you

12:29

know how

12:32

you feel about it depends on how real use

12:34

thinks is shooting was early

12:36

in the year last season i think

12:38

that like this based

12:40

off of looking at past performance

12:43

you know that the

12:46

last year's the exception not the rule right

12:49

like that was i think it was as special

12:51

scenario with the like what we talked about where

12:54

he's just dealing with a lot more attention

12:57

with a lot less ah

12:59

you know offensive firepower

13:02

around him particularly that can shoot

13:06

and the i think there was just when

13:08

you know sort of an extended adjustment period

13:10

for america if it's me

13:14

personally i think it

13:16

will work because i i think

13:18

i'm a person who thinks shagging issue the

13:20

end them i

13:23

think it as long as that the happen

13:27

that's equally because of giddis size

13:30

i think it can war it's

13:34

i'm still worried about getting shot the

13:37

okay so you're in the town in the twenty two calendar

13:39

year before he got shut down he

13:42

was not shooting the ball

13:45

well but he was making

13:48

there is a person was free throws and

13:50

so if you're like a person is trying to feel good

13:52

about his shot that's what you hang

13:54

your hat on right like that's what you go to

13:57

and it wasn't on some crazy number of attempts

13:59

right like a nice the able to get more pressure other

14:01

emmys be able to use as strengthen his size

14:03

to be able to get downhill little bit more

14:06

below more effective there that can

14:08

you know the gate some of the

14:10

shooting issues that he as if he can you know finish

14:13

down there but

14:15

that he was shooting it

14:17

decently for a decent chunk

14:20

of time that's the set like

14:22

that the of the okay see homer and me

14:24

who wants getting to be there for fifteen

14:26

years and you know be an all star like

14:28

that's what i'm that's what i'm hoping

14:30

for but he's also changing his shot supposedly

14:33

this off season and that's always like hoping

14:35

that is scary to here so i am

14:37

optimistic but certainly understand

14:40

someone being like i don't know no sure

14:43

yeah i think it's all about the pieces around those

14:45

to honestly like they both have tremendous

14:47

salad the had one

14:49

of the were supporting cast around them like

14:51

a mystery box of players i mean this

14:53

hundred am in no they had in these guys honestly like they're

14:55

just thrown guys out there just try and stuff and

14:58

you have to facilitators you have two guys

15:00

that operate well on ball the

15:03

zero guys have gravity of

15:06

answer and the

15:08

me it's why i was so important for them to get

15:10

the to pick and even the salt there

15:12

can be really important to like there's

15:15

going to happen with the slender team because the

15:17

me it's all about what kind of weapons can you put

15:19

around those two because they're gonna

15:22

lock a lot of stuff for

15:24

whoever they get whether that that

15:26

war jabbar your follower whoever

15:28

else they're able to get that swell like that's

15:30

gonna that's gonna make that process

15:32

a little bit easier them

15:35

and i to me the giddy stuff i think

15:37

will work itself out that dude is insanely

15:39

competitive he wants to win

15:41

so badly and wants to

15:44

improve his game whatever way he can

15:46

any that afraid no

15:48

the island a huge him to yeah but he's not

15:50

afraid yeah he's not he's the he didn't seem

15:53

like the type of guy that was going to

15:55

to back down which was very encouraging

15:58

to see i'm with i'm i'm with for

16:00

sure they have of players you

16:02

know we are acting as to a personality

16:04

wise giddy as well those guys

16:06

are competitors it's it's just

16:08

like when you're when you're building a roster together

16:11

as together weaknesses for them and

16:13

respectively in their own ways of giddy as giddy as

16:16

as easy to what level as he really like

16:18

we've seen as to a what a years when he's shooting

16:20

forty four percent from three we've we've

16:22

seen stretches and moments i'm giddy

16:24

and time or as i only had a mid range of fallen

16:26

he said nursery like that knicks game you mentioned

16:28

were was like oh this is what it could be like

16:31

in five years when he was more

16:33

consistent suitor and these nights happen more regularly

16:36

even if you've never have a forty plus

16:38

percent guy over full season if

16:40

he's thirty six thirty seven percent at six

16:43

foot eight with his in our magical

16:45

playmaking ability and his versatility

16:47

and the fact you can plug him in a different positions

16:49

and different types of said dribble hand off

16:51

stop the key can use him as a screener have

16:53

a role like there's so much you can do with giddis

17:09

the matter with a k c roster you're

17:11

right it's so exciting would there be

17:13

number two because what is your bari

17:15

smith at auburn the guy that current reports

17:18

say is the primary target for lana with

17:20

number one or whether it's at home run

17:22

the big center organs i got shot blocker

17:25

led led the college basketball and sun block

17:27

for game last year last year freshman our

17:29

weather's follow ben kara who's been a more

17:31

of a score or do it's

17:34

pretty easy to see all three

17:36

of those guys sitting in okay see because

17:39

of the playmaking and the types of

17:41

style of play that a giddy and

17:43

as to a bring would that good though

17:45

we all have our favorites so

17:48

after number to pick let let's just

17:50

keep all free on the table and forget

17:53

about orlando at number one cause being totally

17:55

honest with you when it comes to draft

17:57

stuff it's hard to know what

17:59

to believe because i've heard a lot

18:01

of the same avoid everybody said the jabari

18:03

smith is the guy for a lambda how

18:06

much of that this is this the not

18:08

speaking hypothetically how much of that is is

18:10

orlando trying to create leverage because

18:12

they know okay see or houston

18:15

or some other team wants ham and so

18:17

they're making it seem like they want him at number one

18:19

even though they actually want sad or paolo ever

18:21

else so i don't wanna really put too much

18:23

into anything that i hear about what can be

18:25

happening at number one with a month ago so

18:28

let us is assumed bari said

18:31

empower all often for okay see

18:33

what are the to do or whatever the train

18:35

up to one what's your major choose

18:37

who they want sheriff of andrew who's

18:39

your preference for oklahoma city image

18:43

at home grandbaby i think you've

18:46

gotta keep a weird number one

18:48

the same as already weird and the weirdest

18:50

direction ago is obviously general defensively

18:54

that it's and so perfectly

18:56

i mean they need a rim protector they

18:58

need a guy that can provide

19:00

defense in the middle i'm in a

19:02

they did well last year surprisingly

19:05

defending guys like yogurt is because their team

19:07

defense was on a string

19:09

and that's a credit to mark and his team

19:11

because

19:13

the defensive talent there was like

19:15

two guys he felt pretty good about in the restroom

19:17

like our know how they're going to make this work and

19:19

they did at during stretches they were like a

19:22

top affably defense you know at points

19:24

in the season last year and as just like thats mark

19:29

the

19:30

the stuff that checked and do offensively to

19:32

are talking about it is within five years

19:34

the basket and catch the ball is gonna finish

19:37

he was a dunk the ball i think you will shoot

19:39

it from three

19:40

i think he will demand gravity on the perimeter

19:43

and in the paint which is what the thunder they

19:45

need somebody at the defense cares

19:48

about and to me is gonna

19:50

like this ultimate upside place

19:52

finisher defender weirdo

19:54

that that underneath

19:55

you agree with that our all my belongings

19:58

on the table yeah i think

20:00

idea i did he change his

20:02

our really honestly and their i still

20:04

have a big time sauce plots for

20:06

follow the i'm just

20:09

because i think

20:12

that you know off

20:14

the dribble shot creation is

20:16

just about the most important the

20:19

offensive skill you can have in the playoffs

20:21

at this point and somebody

20:24

can do that at that size you

20:27

know there are you can really area

20:31

and i think that paolo

20:34

just with in

20:37

in in be a off and switch you know the

20:39

spacing that that the in automatically

20:41

can provide somebody ah

20:44

the i just i it's

20:47

it's it's hard to the

20:51

not like my

20:53

bad take over my why do i really

20:55

want that yeah i mean i just i

20:58

do get worried about the difference it's

21:04

the river would win ben simmons was at ellis

21:06

you and everybody was sort of like

21:08

some have to suspect gonna try him and

21:10

he got to the league is like one of the best friends and leah is

21:13

there any say i know he doesn't have

21:15

an adult palo isn't like like

21:17

laterally side to side right like he's now

21:19

what simmons is and he's not as

21:21

making you know maybe like i'm ah

21:24

you know explosive and a leap

21:26

are some i bet rights but it

21:29

is there anything to do is there anything to just

21:31

like she was in college and he wasn't trying

21:34

it , or anything that just and then he will one is

21:36

in league as if i think is earl an

21:38

element of that i mean

21:40

like you said he's not necessarily like the necessarily

21:42

like athlete you know the ben simmons

21:44

was of l a c which is why a man for disappointing

21:47

life simmons wasn't trying it's like or

21:49

i gave up on the scene within carol

21:51

i think we saw a girl glimmers of

21:53

what his potential defensive versatility

21:56

and i think with am i mean it's interesting

21:58

like after his era do that the

22:00

back is or how much does he care blah blah

22:02

the format by the guy who

22:04

you know what you them high school isn't making an

22:06

investment for years working

22:08

with trainers to improve athletically like

22:10

everything i've heard is that he is someone who busted

22:12

his ass a he works in the sky michael make

22:15

up there in washington where he's from and like

22:17

that's all aren't light of kind of like not just

22:19

you know dribble dribble you know your trains rebounding

22:21

for you but like working on your body and your hip flexibility

22:24

and your movement is made an investment

22:26

over the years when a high schooler it's not all

22:28

high schoolers are doing that you know you

22:30

don't develop that like off the bounce kind

22:33

of back as he's got without being like i'm

22:35

serious only a limited

22:37

amount of time for to get some new just that

22:39

it's daniel one hundred percent i mean i

22:41

think with banker i mean i have a ranked first

22:44

or my big board at the current moment i'm

22:46

in a store collecting

22:48

you know in tongue and all that over the next month we'll see if

22:50

that changes it's close between them which is

22:53

what makes the top this draft so fascinating

22:55

but by andrea right would set

22:57

the defensive fit in our what he provides

23:00

sound of my god someone someone

23:02

compared him to a weird body

23:05

al horford recently to me turn

23:07

, somebody to like he brings that defense

23:09

rice but he also he's not a starter

23:12

for your offense but he's a center for he can catch

23:15

catch and shoot threes he got shot up about

23:17

make the right path and and that the area

23:19

right thing home run a he is game

23:21

against is guess they are simple the

23:24

entry draft to do timmy over and over

23:26

and over again he had no opportunities to create

23:28

in generate off as bringing the ball of the floor

23:31

initiating dribble hand off action sore

23:33

or playmaking just like he did in high school we

23:35

saw and so so so much

23:37

more as a passer in high school so like

23:39

the it worse with him there was pretty

23:41

much gone back and looking it sheds

23:44

light his

23:47

box scores in i was even later

23:49

in the year just not

23:51

getting a ton of shrouds and aren't

23:54

you know definitely differing said jimmy

23:56

in memoriam stress enough for

24:00

jimmy's a great college where on know what to be like in

24:02

the league you know but bizarre

24:05

i get i get a freshman kind of needed

24:08

especially with do has been so successful in

24:10

college as as timberlake i i i i

24:12

get him not i get shit not be

24:14

like hey get out of the was you know

24:16

means but you know when it's like against

24:18

memphis against with about trouble like you

24:21

know where it was seven shots

24:23

like then i keep thinking about

24:25

and mobley stuff right or is like how overplayed

24:27

did that wind up being the of you know of

24:29

us are stuff and i'm

24:32

and if he is just the loan big on the floor

24:35

with a lot more space you know

24:37

the so he couldn't

24:39

you know they stop and

24:41

and you know either way to me could in

24:44

the process it's the

24:46

the thing that i keep going back to do

24:48

with that i think it was given a i

24:50

saw like it was like a the

24:53

only player in and suitably history to average

24:55

fourteen nine boards and

24:58

three blocks while shooting

25:00

over seventy percent since two

25:02

hundred forty percent from three and

25:04

he like well that was like but that was like going into the tournament

25:07

i think those stats and he wound up a little below

25:09

forty but like no

25:13

forty eight bits it's it especially

25:15

with the way the league is now right like what what

25:17

do you mean you , you are

25:20

saying earlier about those dues the gym

25:22

you know create off the bounce and stuff like that

25:24

on board that is like the other type of

25:26

dude is like that is big

25:28

that can do that lot of stuff on both ends

25:31

right like this right super versatile

25:33

guy that can you know that the

25:35

european we are bans of

25:37

the world right and the

25:40

idea that he could be you know of a

25:42

supercharged version of that is very

25:44

very exciting i'm just trying to trying to get beyond

25:47

like the

25:50

worried about him being skinny the

25:52

i know that just i know that just sounds like

25:54

barry like just sort of you know

25:56

basic him you know laugh

25:58

lacking a new but

26:01

it does just slides it's

26:03

hard to not worry about that if

26:05

he does the best

26:08

offensive version of himself

26:10

is as five

26:13

like harden i worry

26:15

about that is it like it like he was an arranger

26:18

i mean maybe it doesn't old maybe it doesn't matter

26:20

until you get to the beaches nimbys

26:22

of the world like maybe you just you know the

26:26

admit but yeah

26:28

i guess i'm not saying anything but yeah

26:33

the competitive fire stuff to is real

26:35

yeah yeah yeah yeah he's he's like

26:37

that scrapping yeah i liked that about

26:40

him and also the the josh

26:42

giddy instagram stuff with chat

26:44

to how we are flirting aren't there were

26:47

, it to

26:53

odds i be it on had

26:56

here up to that

26:58

i i i

27:03

to josh you

27:05

could do a for me

27:08

be i the the draft

27:11

up of

27:14

he we or and

27:19

not have to for a i

27:23

something they know

27:25

the gonna have a berth

27:29

or a good boy with the one guy we and intellectual

27:31

here ribery smith's

27:34

i do i fit andrew tell

27:36

me why are you barry switzer be the pic

27:38

the easiest

27:41

one to imagine he

27:44

is a floor spacer it's

27:46

just gonna take and make a craft

27:49

on a three that the and below and

27:51

with the creators of thunder have is just almost

27:54

it's it's too easy to picture because we had my

27:56

scala doing what he

27:58

will do with the m b a level the last year

28:00

for the thunder any came in and he was

28:03

the family productive tubular just

28:05

because he could shoot it sucks now was it a

28:07

specific and it out every single

28:09

line up and with

28:11

a guy that can absolutely thirty five

28:14

minutes and defend multiple positions

28:16

and the

28:18

it's really easy to picture to

28:20

bari and us hundred years and what it would look like

28:22

that's i think been or fans have a hard to american

28:24

their mind around what shut will look like

28:27

and maybe they don't even want to know what shut

28:29

will look like because you see images

28:31

like made so skinny i just don't know

28:34

follow the weirder fit still i

28:36

think you would be great those

28:39

other two and but jabbar just like he's

28:41

just so easy oh yeah he shoots and people to

28:43

garden great like commit felt like

28:45

one of the things like

28:46

you mention the appeal earlier tyler

28:48

have been careful because of the shot creation and

28:51

how that's the hardest thing the find that when you're

28:53

holding a playoff team have and guys you can generate

28:55

shots and we saw him do that in

28:57

big games for duke with jabari smith

28:59

the criticism of him is is the opposite

29:02

right like it's it's the fact that always

29:04

a knockdown shooter he's a great defender

29:07

he can attack they can a straight line off the dribble

29:10

but he's not somebody who is finishing at

29:12

a high rate the wasn't going to the basket necessarily

29:14

is torn up settling for a lot of jumpers

29:17

and incomes the self reason he's

29:19

not much of a playmaker however

29:21

one of a thoughts on my mind with that as well have

29:23

your bearings bari smith with the

29:26

royal handlers like giddy and as

29:28

to yea the level that he needs

29:30

the reach of a ball handler like he doesn't need

29:32

to become a a plus or even

29:35

an a minus ball handler he if he gets

29:37

oh i see plus be minus a

29:39

be that guy who's potentially being

29:41

defended by some weaker hi i'm barbara

29:43

amateur guys were going to have to take the primary

29:45

match up against the oldest alexander giddy that's

29:48

why i'm like maybe if he's

29:50

going to give those dudes he's just

29:52

gonna be wreaking havoc plan off of bothers

29:54

me the secondary trader so knowing

29:57

what are your thoughts on the jabari suspect like given

30:00

given what you said about the importance

30:02

of being carols creation what he

30:04

could do for okay say i'm with a injury

30:06

that it would be a pretty seamless

30:09

sphere matt

30:12

the green go back and look at the

30:14

just play like quality of shots show

30:16

would get when the scala was on the floor

30:18

and like moscow was the screener in

30:21

the garage and stuff like that when you go look at the quality

30:23

the quality she was getting just

30:26

offer that how much better they were it's

30:28

hard to not think about

30:31

ah how

30:33

much harder he'll be for a difference deal

30:35

with whenever there's somebody pop and back that people

30:37

have to worry about you

30:40

know especially when that guy can

30:42

get clean off the floor

30:45

and what you're saying can guard across

30:48

potentially across potentially positions

30:52

i keep i could go back

30:54

and forth on how much it matters

30:56

that he the you know struggles

30:58

off the bounce right now i

31:02

i i'm with you that

31:05

you know you eat you don't wanna take the ball out of

31:07

as you get his hands that much

31:13

my concern is is are are

31:15

or is she a good it you know if you're projecting

31:18

the team out and if the goal is to be able

31:20

to be a team that can get to the finals and maybe

31:22

when it you know is

31:25

is as she a the a number

31:28

one scoring do and

31:30

if he is the great and if he's not

31:32

then the your bari be

31:35

that it feels like the only way he could

31:37

be that level of score if

31:40

he does add the

31:42

handle the the

31:45

don't i also don't know how much time it

31:47

might like the my discounting his saw him

31:49

i am i not taking the size and to italian of

31:51

like how easy he can get his shot

31:53

off against anybody i

31:56

don't i waffles are muslim him because then

31:58

it's like is he has he gotten

32:00

a little bit to rely on his size has

32:03

he not felt like he has to develop

32:05

these other aspects of his game because

32:07

he's so tall and he changes his shot

32:09

off his he just always gonna

32:11

be happy the you know firing

32:15

what you put feta ways with hands in

32:17

his face whenever he's got driving

32:19

lanes and stuff like that i don't i don't

32:22

i don't know i the i would be happy

32:24

with any of these days are be

32:26

stuck with any i'll be happy

32:28

with any of them following real be it would you be

32:30

if it was a surprise somebody else

32:32

to say i'm sorry treat and i don't

32:35

, love or art or three down

32:37

you're you're you're very angry or you roll your

32:40

eyes over there andrew what others say

32:42

down they want more pics on

32:45

ios our belong to press the goodness

32:48

yeah that would be a little frustrating

32:50

because little the word is like it's all

32:52

about top three guys

32:54

and is all about

32:55

getting the guys at the top of the draft and how much they matter

32:58

look at india history and then

33:00

it's

33:01

our guard trade dancers sectors got

33:03

example let's say that like oh

33:05

come on man it

33:08

in the thing is that it

33:10

feels like they've set up this roster to take

33:12

on i gay a shotmaking

33:15

the impact big right right

33:18

they don't have anybody like that like they drafted

33:20

your my robinson earl last year and worm

33:23

very intentional about playing him at

33:25

the for in the five all year and switching out

33:28

though that he could be as versatile as possible

33:30

they're setting this team up for a guy like

33:33

this then you

33:36

just before they took jay navy just

33:38

it it complicates things in

33:40

the me in the immediate for them to then it's like okay

33:42

will begin to pay lou doors

33:44

and bring nj ninety like you're really

33:46

gonna do that i don't know that they

33:49

should cf to make to make a little bit faster

33:51

on on blue and how you're going to deal him

33:53

or whatever gonna do the

33:55

me but the talent at the top as

33:57

in these big guys and

34:01

whatever it is that he gets a he's ever get

34:03

like

34:04

it's to unprotected picks from the king's it's like

34:06

okay well that's the that stupid

34:08

like you probably have to do that but

34:11

people have been suggesting like sacramento

34:13

fans like wow he trade for and of

34:15

south side protected take next year they get

34:18

outta here is shit outta here with that like

34:20

that that's not it ah

34:22

i i would be happy with

34:24

any of the bags the me

34:26

i especially cool shade sharp i just be like you

34:30

you gotta really know something and

34:32

i don't know how you know it

34:34

i don't know how you're getting your information that can a

34:36

canadian connection as to get

34:40

, intel that's doubly the only logical

34:42

thing is like listen sam is does not

34:44

want american players like is just one litter

34:47

nasa is very bad as that that's

34:49

him he would be like are i'd okay yeah

34:52

i would be i don't know what

34:54

do you think of sharp i don't know i don't know what to think

34:56

about i'm i watched the

34:58

i got going a propaganda that's being put

35:01

out on twitter where he so i'm like half speed

35:03

and like doing dunks is a slight this is nothing

35:06

yeah don't do this to me like i thought gerald

35:08

green do this kind of stuff and if

35:10

you compare the two bedroom green

35:13

and be best player in the whole and be a girl

35:15

know i was blown i can

35:17

while it , a

35:19

great player from if i

35:21

murmur so i went for jumped the southern strategy

35:23

ordering years ago i was like this

35:26

is the guy we get a special interests

35:30

how that obama state when obama state supposed to be coming

35:32

out my freshman year and joe greene was supposed

35:34

to be like the chosen was a big deal

35:36

when he committed diverse used in obama

35:39

in oklahoma bad missouri's was your agree communal

35:41

jose of widely low or we

35:43

drive the salon or when we go on like exactly

35:45

like mario bug and buyer and he's been on

35:48

35:50

my of this is my new life this is a me what

35:52

he did well to cable he he he

35:55

, toronto the moment he had a great career

35:57

either either gesture be

35:59

either name of the pod but he did well i can't

36:04

do , yeah i will

36:06

i'm glad you're a dream at least see a long

36:09

career he played twelve you tell me and be

36:11

a how crazy is that right like

36:13

and his wife a kind of a bus in terms of

36:15

my expectations are high school but for

36:17

eighteenth take a phobia

36:20

of the n b a made tens of millions of dollars

are like in the way that he jumps

36:31

like there's a little bit of that their

36:34

they have these they like float similarly

36:36

nine it's like of there's

36:38

there's nothing either so effortless

36:41

and interests like the

36:44

how high they can get and dunk with two hands

36:46

i mean the like yeah

36:49

how about so are you have mercy on

36:51

some our keep nonsense or will it sort of a tree

36:53

down what's left notes instead of viewing

36:56

of through the lens of but trade down or surprise

36:58

of to let's view him through the lens

37:00

of a trade off the bank

37:02

and okay see has twelve thirty

37:05

and thirty four and five hundred

37:07

first round draft picks and second rounders in the coming

37:09

years and they have some appealing and guys

37:11

they could potentially flip if they really wanted to like if they

37:13

wanted us take our blue doors option

37:16

and throw him into a deal to team

37:18

by you can do that i they have got

37:20

appealing guys in their roster kenneth williams

37:23

by jeremiah robinson url it is

37:25

a number of appealing guys and okay see tree man

37:27

to for that matter so maybe they were a trade

37:30

off twelve i

37:32

bring would suit i'm sorry by everything you guys describe

37:34

him up a need for creation the need

37:36

for and the clock scoring the

37:38

need for you know more good sturdy

37:41

defensive players sharp isn't their

37:43

defense or yeah but i think the

37:45

average bear the will the will to get better

37:47

as their from what i hear about him in terms of his work

37:49

ethic an offensively you're

37:52

right into the empty gym stuff it doesn't

37:54

it doesn't mean anything i type it doesn't it

37:56

doesn't mean anything by the y de l production

37:59

has high school production got a bug

38:01

getter the and create his own

38:03

space on the perimeter again in two or three point

38:05

jumper i think there's been some talk about

38:07

how much is he willing as a passer you

38:10

know there's been so many clubs have seen of him where

38:12

the had opportunities to score

38:15

but he's making the extra pass and

38:17

his responsibility and his role was the

38:19

scores lot of i don't mind as much

38:22

sometimes when is doing that but i've seen enough for

38:24

it's like okay i think he has a desire to pass

38:26

he has some vision is just about being

38:28

empowered in a wall in a situation i

38:30

imagine i get excited about

38:33

his potential fate on a team like

38:35

okay see your another team that values

38:37

moving the ball sharing the ball

38:39

having different guys get touches and i

38:42

think if you have a choice but

38:44

to conform if you're playing next to

38:46

really the way he moved the ball and sta

38:49

i think of your drafted into a situation

38:51

like that you can't be a ball stopper

38:54

i think you have to keep it moving so i

38:56

mean i guess what that mine for him it

38:59

is is he canada preferred

39:01

like in the event of a trade up

39:03

in the middle of the lottery from twelve

39:06

it is he gonna want to be guys you guys like most

39:08

or other other have any other names in the water we

39:10

i'd i'd love to see him on oklahoma city sharp

39:14

would be super interesting in the ceiling

39:16

in off and suddenly is super high

39:18

like you know the let them the

39:20

result of bowels with range

39:23

you know like been able to do that from

39:26

the from distance is

39:29

is

39:31

special am i i

39:33

get the them being

39:36

pumped up about the athleticism somebody like wiggins

39:38

comp scare me like an hour wiggins like finally

39:40

got there you know but the an island off

39:42

the thunder trying to way seven years some

39:45

for for sharp

39:47

to hit a home hit let dyson

39:49

daniels like a

39:51

guy who the in a lot of a a

39:53

it seems like he just he's gonna shoot now

39:56

boards and dry out or even touch if

39:59

he's the type of guy the some the

40:01

the the team would be

40:03

willing to listen to an offer for you not

40:05

i mean bizarre his they're

40:10

sighs the

40:12

defensively he could just be so

40:15

good ah

40:18

biden through screens it just seems like

40:21

when you see him it could be

40:23

really special on on that in in the end

40:25

the type of defender that everybody's looking for

40:28

a guy that same guard these unbelievable

40:30

wings scores right and

40:34

it just it seems like that people underestimated

40:37

you know his potential ceiling

40:40

offensively like it seems like he might the

40:43

able to do little bit bear and have

40:45

been especially in a situation where you

40:48

can be wanna see a and getting and he can you

40:50

know attack some clothes and things like back

40:53

at sit some differences and rotations

40:55

may be not not

40:57

not to deal with such complicated reads

40:59

and and everything just gonna make the game simple

41:02

form early on was young he didn't see

41:04

legs i think it could be a

41:06

really good situation

41:08

for a dude like that

41:10

that that would be a that was the get that

41:12

slide daniels yeah i would be super

41:15

duper bumped up about but i know events the

41:17

answer is not they are the

41:20

yeah i'm i'm big on the matter and yeah

41:22

i just think i'd be off our movements stuff that

41:24

he can do or that he showed her arizona

41:28

it's perfect with just getting

41:30

like we suck innards williams who had just

41:32

like make really simple cuts and

41:35

he would justify them or

41:38

white how did he do that like imagine

41:40

a guy's six six i crazy athletics

41:42

you know

41:44

i think that there's a match there were

41:46

like the the blind to like

41:48

his like nice added to light on me i'm worried

41:50

like he's like there's he's got he's

41:53

he's

41:55

he did not afraid yeah

41:58

yeah you use them there is

42:00

definitely not afraid of he said it fit right

42:02

in with gideon those guys for sure

42:05

and you know what like someone canadian is it

42:07

can a while

42:19

the names were talking about here in our i

42:21

posed the question is trade up and i say that

42:24

only because okay see a so much ammo like

42:26

that they can i can they can really move where

42:28

they want to within the draft so but you

42:30

know whether it's like it's moving up to seven

42:33

what are staying at twelve what

42:35

what are the types of players are there any person

42:37

to civic prospects andrew that you think okay

42:39

as he should be targeting about range

42:41

the i really think shooting has to be

42:43

one of the aspects that they target here

42:46

whether that i matter and doesn't seem like

42:48

he'll be there are twelve or maybe name is

42:51

i think that the

42:54

guy like ager griffin is pretty interesting

42:56

there if you're in asia griffin

42:59

truth or like it's a real easy

43:01

spot to put him because the thunder

43:03

need shooting you as a lights out shooter

43:05

is crazy young you know only

43:08

eighteen years old still i

43:10

worry about the injury stuff and

43:13

about just how heavy he looks

43:16

as his run up and down the court those

43:19

are the things are concerned me the most but you

43:21

know if if maybe duke was hiding

43:24

some of his creation skills within

43:26

their offense and he can send

43:28

a blossom somewhere to me he's a guy

43:30

that

43:31

it's very possible that he's there at twelve

43:34

and it's just it's another swing

43:36

and if you're swinging on a guy who's six six

43:38

and the like a brick house and

43:40

could shoot the ball or like

43:43

i'm i'm in on that kind of prospects

43:45

i think that some people are

43:48

some thunder fans are terrified that underworld

43:50

interview jeremy so hands you like yeah that's

43:52

our guy who's and just have like

43:55

andre roberson ptsd he wears

43:57

like not shooting the ball from the parameter i

44:00

love him and i love his story than

44:03

i would actually be super pumped if they drafted

44:06

if they drafted you bari or chair and

44:09

haired so and with one of those guys have in

44:13

because like it's crazy switch

44:15

he the competitive fire that you

44:17

get from those two and gideon door

44:20

i know they're going to struggle to score the basketball at times

44:23

but holy smokes man like that defenses

44:25

design the celtics

44:27

type of defense from those kind of guys

44:30

when you envision what they could be ah

44:32

anna i dyed his hair different colors like it's just

44:34

not a lot of cool things about any other

44:36

british accent but he's polish

44:39

and was born in time in oklahoma of

44:41

those story as it is so funky known

44:43

i born in game and yeah

44:46

bro linus handler

44:49

that's crazy yeah

44:52

i didn't know that in

44:54

our area or to sort that about born in oklahoma

44:58

his mom's those mom was a professional basketball

45:00

player played for this tiny team and diamond

45:02

oklahoma he was born there

45:05

and the was polish

45:08

i believe and then he he actually plays

45:10

on like the the national team there

45:12

and then he play was play navy

45:14

for like a minute in high school when he came over

45:16

to united states for think us and back and played

45:18

for germ i know historically been historically knew

45:21

like bots around the around the the the other

45:23

the

45:24

that game and had a professional

45:27

women's basketball team at that point

45:29

is blowing my mind

45:31

i'm just saying tell you need to reexamined

45:33

the the game and aspects and the hair

45:35

asked i mean arms and what about him and don't dismiss

45:37

him so for i watched the carolina game

45:39

hours logged on the moon a little

45:42

dirty like are you are

45:45

, have to like defense you feel

45:47

bad about it like i'm going to hell with visual and

45:49

i would rather let no one has long been

45:52

a third of us and but

45:54

that's okay you need those guys want

45:56

to be just as of only the guys who

45:58

nobody will lie but would

46:00

love if he was on your team you do

46:02

need you do need it i just

46:06

i don't know the man a use

46:08

for it but denise from guymon what do you do

46:10

any sort of his from diamond with a british

46:12

accent i know i mean come on and

46:15

the died here the diner

46:17

there's just there's too many things that alone i'll

46:19

do anything about him is like this

46:22

is just went from of entertainment perspective

46:25

but i would love for them to leave

46:27

the giraffe with somebody who can

46:29

job who can catch some lobs

46:31

from giddy as yeah i would

46:33

love to have somebody who who

46:36

can can you know

46:38

get on the brake and fly a little bit that

46:40

would be that just from of you

46:42

know

46:43

showtime

46:46

percent they are you wanna have fun watching

46:48

the t abuse and if you mentioned are

46:50

they gonna be celtics ask in

46:52

terms of like how they be building out their potential

46:54

besides i mean that's the thing itself

46:57

piano fighting

46:59

for me with this of the homer city roster when

47:01

you think about there's a possibility yea

47:04

could be the smallest latest player

47:07

in some of their lineups like of the is a build

47:09

this thing out you know you look at airdrops history

47:11

whether some of these guys work out or not

47:13

alexi poke who says key with his size

47:15

of his playmaking oh there is basically

47:18

even for a man has some site to a me

47:20

granted is lena right now but you

47:22

know williams robinson urls the

47:25

door they have my door it is not a

47:27

big guy in terms of his measurements but he plays

47:29

bag with is the fact that he's not a liability

47:31

so at oklahoma city they're building

47:33

out this team that has you know switch

47:36

ability potentially across musicians

47:38

were like we see boston with what they've done as

47:40

miami where they're playing with elements

47:42

of zone off ball whether just

47:44

like easily swapping match up so it's

47:46

like so seamlessly don't worry about

47:48

his wife whose defending a certain players

47:50

because they can all the fans in our players

47:53

one through five in oklahoma

47:55

city can build something like that dag all

47:57

is already proven to be a pretty good goats really

47:59

good well the two coats ah i'd

48:01

be excited when at them following

48:04

this vision and my other know i i'd be surprised

48:06

if it isn't the game plan like don't pass

48:09

decisions kind of indicate android this is

48:11

what prestige and tending to do like that's their

48:13

actions speak really loudly to me without

48:16

a doubt they want versatility i

48:19

mean

48:20

the telegraph that with the poco pig like

48:22

right out the gate is i we just one

48:24

guys i can sue passing dribble

48:27

that can defend multiple positions and that

48:30

the know we're

48:32

not going to box the see men and some

48:34

of that i do think as a team building strategy

48:36

where you don't want to

48:39

while your purely a point guard your purely a

48:41

center you can only buy this position i think that

48:43

the from a team building strategy you want to

48:45

stay away from that those gonna guys

48:47

and lesser generational and

48:50

to me the current in

48:52

be a just screams like

48:54

if you can be versatile and

48:56

skill that every position

48:58

you were just at a much better place then

49:00

if you have guys that are either limited

49:03

defensively or are

49:05

having a traditional sense to me i just want

49:07

to stay away from traditional centers in the draft

49:09

period this team

49:12

because you can go get those guys

49:15

the you think about who are the guys that are going to be available

49:17

this summer be a trade

49:20

there are worried mentioning guys who

49:22

were at the top the traditional center

49:24

was like rudy go bare and be under aden

49:26

and like these guys i could be had

49:29

they will why are we were we trust in somebody

49:31

twelve or even at thirty

49:33

that we could trade for i mean richard

49:35

allen like the cavs are just like yeah

49:38

we're all get in here and we'll take him what

49:40

we want to get in on this trade they just got your down and

49:42

all star center the

49:45

to me just i would say away just

49:47

because the thunder have so many assets down

49:49

the road where a traditional center will be

49:51

available exactly the best

49:53

created the thunder of ever gotten as neurons the well

49:56

the the new the center and

49:58

to me the use i would

50:00

use the draft assets on players

50:02

that you can't acquire you

50:05

know in big a good wings

50:08

you can acquire them just

50:10

can't teams want to keep those guys

50:12

they want to keep all of them and then free

50:14

agency like turn no not coming

50:16

to home city it is not going to happen so

50:19

to me it's i would take one of these

50:21

big that the top and then i'm just finding

50:23

a winger versatile player to swing

50:25

on and the guy like mark williams

50:28

any more going to be a good pro i

50:31

do , want to spend a lottery take on it understandably

50:34

so there with adding the guys are you can't

50:36

get and i think that's gonna be abrasive

50:40

that brings us to lou door i'm always talk

50:42

a little bit about air his seventeen

50:44

points per game last year not a great

50:46

shooter as you said a solid defenses are extremely

50:49

worried about him but with new door de aza here's

50:51

an interesting situation coming up this off

50:53

season for oklahoma city because

50:56

they have until june twenty nine for exercise

50:58

for exercise point nine million dollar

51:01

team option and if they

51:03

do that he would become unrestricted

51:05

and twenty twenty three if they

51:08

don't pick about op's and he'll be restricted

51:11

twenty twenty two this summer so

51:13

by picking it up you risk losing him for nothing

51:16

and a year or what do you think

51:18

is the better path forward for oklahoma city

51:20

andrew given the situation financially

51:22

with door and he also view him as kind of

51:24

a one of those pieces that you potentially

51:27

move in a big deal already sent a view him

51:29

as you know and next cheaper category and only

51:31

twenty four years old right now yeah

51:34

be checking the temperature from his agent

51:37

to see like how rich of a deal does

51:39

he want the ones north

51:41

of this team think the

51:43

you have to considered dealing him

51:46

the

51:47

i think the best option though for the thunder as

51:49

to pick up the option

51:51

give yourself as much financial flexibility

51:54

as possible in the summer of twenty twenty

51:56

three the thunder

51:58

have shown that is save feel

52:00

good about a situation that it as a jeremy grant

52:03

right before they resigned paul george

52:05

and roger immigrant back they

52:07

weren't afraid to do that they have

52:10

really really good relationships with

52:12

their players mean that cannot be

52:14

understated lou

52:17

grew up a thunder fans you know

52:19

i think lou loves being here he loves share

52:21

he loves this group he loves mark he loves

52:23

going to screw i've interviewed

52:25

him a few times in the do just smiles from

52:28

ear to ear all the time like i think he

52:30

really does enjoy being in oklahoma city

52:32

and so to me there's

52:34

also a guy that i think complained of last i

52:37

mean i

52:38

i have watch a majority the playoff games and

52:41

harvard is like just like those straight up analysis

52:43

what's going on the floor but it's also like okay which

52:45

players that are on the thunder could actually get

52:48

into one of these games the

52:50

not you know what their pants

52:52

and lewd or is one of those

52:54

guys i think the he can compete

52:57

i compete super hard not afraid to

52:59

take shots is willing to drive to the ram he's

53:02

got a lot of improving to do but

53:04

the me if he if he gets in a simplified

53:06

role where it's

53:08

the you're going to defend the best perimeter player

53:11

on on the defensive end than

53:13

off and you're gonna sit the corner where he

53:15

is the career forty percent

53:17

three point shooter from the corners that

53:19

you can simplify his role where it's just the

53:22

owners and attack and close outs and defending

53:26

i think that you actually have a really good player

53:28

who

53:29

doesn't have to initiate any off and doesn't get

53:31

to take all the shots so to me i think you

53:33

risk pick

53:35

up adoption be flexible and twenty

53:37

three and if you have to pay

53:39

him to seen then fine

53:42

but to me the thunder they're going

53:44

to have the kemba walker the off the books the derrick favors

53:46

the off the books they're going to be

53:48

in mainly months ago financially and twenty

53:50

three i would say just like keep

53:53

that flexibility cheaper options open

53:55

then you know see what door it looks like

53:57

with as like the work

54:00

the on an officer with door at peace

54:02

twenty three number of

54:04

other guys on the roster under twenty five live

54:06

appeal beasley at twenty one

54:08

poco at twenty three man at twenty

54:10

one robin snarl at twenty one tail

54:12

54:14

54:25

55:41

much more off the bounce than i realized

55:44

whenever they took him and he has

55:46

he very defined elite

55:48

skill that is

55:50

highly sought after

55:52

in the league right now and

55:55

for a team that has next

55:57

to no shooting ah

56:00

the guy that can you

56:02

know take some pressure offer

56:05

the a giddy on the perimeter

56:07

who's already there who

56:10

you know we know fits

56:14

in and and seems to there

56:18

seems to be good you

56:20

know the mystery among most

56:22

three the how

56:26

she was just the

56:29

now he played kind of good their the into the year in

56:31

a live in a strong man lol

56:33

i don't know it's hard to say no or

56:35

else it'll points per game for and

56:37

seven rebounds forces the

56:40

are going on in the libraries are as much much better

56:42

whenever is making shots just everything

56:45

he's calmer everything is on his

56:47

of insists a very simple thing to say

56:49

but it just like i've

56:51

i've been happy that he hasn't looked like

56:53

a you know dear on defense

56:56

right like he's like dpp doesn't

56:58

fit you know he's he

57:01

can actually sort of hold his own their i just

57:05

yeah when i die by that eyeballs

57:08

and concerns everybody else does and still think i could

57:10

go either either direction i don't think

57:12

she's like cartoonishly

57:14

bad like some people try to make him out to

57:17

be you know i mean i think of better sort of part of the

57:19

the nickname takeru a nice

57:21

an odd shapes guy

57:24

radical nice try adding barbs

57:26

is that how

57:29

are you read of the how to get a major upset the

57:31

see if he offended as he jealous less

57:34

they don't like they built their didn't have the same

57:36

days i post offices et les like

57:38

very large sets not out there is

57:40

a woody allen , could be like

57:43

great finally somebody to screen for me thank

57:45

god but yes consensus consensus

57:48

much as i somebody else to take the pressure

57:50

off of your of i saw me to go he to see things

57:54

to talk to him about it now leave me alone

57:56

you know at least my with my bustle a bigger

57:58

than it easier

58:01

for our last thing here are of those

58:03

six the who

58:05

are the keepers those younger

58:07

guys basically beaucoup man

58:10

robinson url door valid on or

58:12

any of them like he gonna keep these guys

58:14

adding and store for sure

58:16

and then

58:18

you're adding trays right i think that you'd you'd

58:20

think too much about it i like the self creation stuff

58:22

that he's got off the balance the separation

58:25

that he can create like three dribbles

58:27

is that there's not

58:29

the anybody in the league they can do than also seems

58:31

like the he's

58:34

got it in him to you know

58:36

finish at the ram like he can get he can

58:38

get past guys i in and like like

58:41

you were saying earlier care what do you know he's he's not

58:43

gigantic but he's not small either

58:45

and and yeah

58:47

i don't know how are you will hold up on defense

58:49

when you know push comes to shove like we'll

58:52

see we'll see what happens and and

58:54

and and you know he'll get sought

58:56

after in the play offs i'm sure until

58:58

you know whatever but it some yeah

59:01

to have to have a guy like that who

59:04

can you

59:06

know run your offense against second

59:09

units if you need him to like i'd ideally

59:11

your staggering getting in shape and it's or

59:13

whatever but like to have a guy like that

59:16

you just can't you can't be successful

59:18

in the in be a now unless you have multiple

59:20

ball handlers multiple guys who can get shots

59:23

for themselves or other people and and

59:25

you know when you win the

59:27

others use these one had a monstrous just don't it

59:31

it the they just got up did the it's gotta be le bron

59:33

level right like it's you know the the even

59:35

even luca need more help and he's got so

59:37

it's just keep it a that the people

59:39

who say question

59:42

the shake anything like they must be the ball the most me

59:44

the ball like when you know you need multiple

59:46

team multiple guys that can handle

59:49

this happened that last

59:51

doing here

59:52

the oklahoma city they have all these

59:54

draft picks and they can move

59:57

wherever they want to within twenty twenty two

1:00:00

there is any party that thinks that

1:00:02

they are compiling all of these bags

1:00:04

there's something big in twenty

1:00:06

twenty three whether it's something involving

1:00:08

other cap space trying to accelerate

1:00:11

things quickly with freezing signings

1:00:13

and a big trade or whatever whether

1:00:15

it's i go on for the big fish

1:00:18

in the twenty twenty three drafts better

1:00:20

web and jamar seven plus but

1:00:22

center who is you

1:00:24

know already making waves as as generational

1:00:27

prospect with his shooting ability can do a lot

1:00:29

of the bows he could be like go bears defender

1:00:32

why many analysts like the real deal and

1:00:34

twenty twenty three the oklahoma

1:00:37

city they have been out three

1:00:39

hundred and eighty seven first round draft picks

1:00:41

over the next seven years they

1:00:43

could put all those on the table if i wanted

1:00:45

to if they have a number three pick next year

1:00:47

they will prevail wealthiest six more

1:00:49

first round draft picks for number one nobody

1:00:53

does that dailies have the ammo

1:00:55

do you guys think that prestige game

1:00:57

here is to be in a position

1:00:59

to acquire the guy that he

1:01:01

wants whoever it is whatever potential

1:01:04

opportunity becomes available that is that what

1:01:06

he's angling for this of gonna be a slow

1:01:08

rebuild of a bunch of rapids i

1:01:10

think it's gonna be so sorry bone trust

1:01:12

or the much graphics and is a lot of moving

1:01:14

within draft spend maybe like this year will see

1:01:17

what he might do again next year and the year after

1:01:19

movement within the draft like slotting

1:01:21

am thirty and thirty forty five

1:01:23

or whatever it might be yeah

1:01:26

i mean that the tough thing is thing who whoever

1:01:29

gets this the first pick in next year's

1:01:31

draft they're just gonna laugh every

1:01:33

time that they picked up sampras's phone call

1:01:35

like our not i don't care if you like

1:01:38

ten draft picks like who cares who no

1:01:40

no thank you like this is what this is all

1:01:42

about the acquiring this exact

1:01:44

on a player so yeah

1:01:47

i think

1:01:48

i don't think that they're under any impression that the

1:01:50

that those pics allow you to get whatever you want

1:01:52

but to me to

1:01:54

have like the sustainable success of the thunder

1:01:56

wanna have it's gotta be

1:01:58

a slower rebuild and

1:02:01

it's gotta be something that the

1:02:03

other thunder still very certain about before

1:02:05

they press go and i could

1:02:07

be as soon as next off season where they

1:02:10

have a twenty three drops they've had that

1:02:12

of be like the third draft this

1:02:14

rebuild the body got say giddy where

1:02:17

we get it to and whoever you get at

1:02:19

five or wherever they are out next year i

1:02:22

think you can feel pretty good about a team

1:02:24

then too maybe

1:02:26

use a picture trade for

1:02:28

a center or traced force something

1:02:31

else the yeah

1:02:33

to me it's gonna be a slow process

1:02:35

i think that that you look at what

1:02:37

same hanky dead

1:02:39

i think that sam wants

1:02:41

to carry that out and have the chance to

1:02:44

actually let that happen and

1:02:46

so the and and he's

1:02:48

got the ownership backing i don't think the league

1:02:51

is losing their minds with the thunder doing

1:02:53

right now so i think that you've got like

1:02:55

a real shot too the actually

1:02:57

carry out the process without a tobias

1:03:00

harris interruption

1:03:01

i'm with and drew i think it'll be

1:03:04

in be a slow roll to either

1:03:06

i don't i don't think that some he's

1:03:09

gonna these links to try

1:03:11

to speed the process up all of sudden

1:03:15

they traded you know

1:03:17

they did try to as yeah then

1:03:19

i would think like oh yeah the the he thinks that

1:03:21

when the hours like duncan to point out and

1:03:24

the he's it's just all chimps onset

1:03:27

like a are gonna happen you know but

1:03:30

yeah the or anything other than that

1:03:32

i mean i'm i'm i'm with injury that just slide

1:03:35

teams are trading

1:03:37

picks the the matter how many are going to give them if you can get a

1:03:39

guy like that and you know you can get him

1:03:41

you know it it i i don't i don't think

1:03:43

that that i think

1:03:45

ultimately what will happen the the

1:03:47

consolidation and picks like you say there will be

1:03:50

little little many versions of that

1:03:52

to move up in giraffes things like that

1:03:54

two seconds for a guy the trade deadline

1:03:57

some like that whatever but i think

1:03:59

the big time in like here's

1:04:01

you know the mother lode i

1:04:04

think that's the last thing before

1:04:06

they are like or up were

1:04:08

competing but i think it's like the like

1:04:10

phoenix doing the crystal trade show

1:04:12

like okay here's our play

1:04:15

this is yours or you know it

1:04:18

will resolve ships are not or not i don't know

1:04:20

but here's all our best ships

1:04:22

or whatever i think that

1:04:24

that will come the

1:04:26

end of the rebuild a fat makes sense i

1:04:29

don't literally yeah yeah let like it like and

1:04:31

twenty six they have the are the top

1:04:33

four protected first from houston

1:04:35

and and unprotected first from the clipper so

1:04:37

it's like you're saying the next two

1:04:40

three four years it's about

1:04:42

our those micro movements targeting the guys

1:04:44

that you want and then twenty

1:04:47

five or twenty six or twenty seven

1:04:49

when you have some of those take some eros and the george

1:04:51

deals still common in with that's

1:04:53

the point where it's like okay the

1:04:56

final piece you'd hope at that point right

1:04:58

now makes no sense you have to allow

1:05:00

for like some

1:05:03

you know want one of the big time

1:05:06

due to get past and you know

1:05:08

whenever he loves shea what's the gop

1:05:10

you have to allow for that right in that that you

1:05:12

know things things change and

1:05:15

and and you know maybe

1:05:17

the situation where the dude is young and

1:05:19

it's not so far outside the timeline

1:05:22

that it doesn't make sense and prestige eyes and so

1:05:24

he does pull the trigger it's not that it could it happen

1:05:26

before then i just don't

1:05:29

think that reggie

1:05:31

is trying to make any moves

1:05:33

in the immediate that would

1:05:35

mess with their potential

1:05:38

to have a big time blue

1:05:40

chip pick i think that that's

1:05:42

what his concern is

1:05:45

even if he's gonna go try to trade for some

1:05:47

young disgruntled dude or whatever often

1:05:49

times he's targeting these

1:05:52

do they were in the top five in the draft and stuff

1:05:54

like that the he's a big believer in

1:05:57

after the top or the judge the guys that you want

1:05:59

to take chance the wanted so i i i

1:06:02

picked up a yeah i'm almost say i'm

1:06:05
