 What's the word y'all the 2023 trade that line is is about to it's about to be met y'all. Let's be real Let's be real. Let's face the facts based on what we know today This deadlines looking like is gonna be a dud shams dropped his article the trade that line is what February 9th or so So it's right around the corner and usually when shams dropped these articles around this time It's juicy. We hear about this play and this team been talking this and that and of course We got something but it ain't nothing Compared to what we got over the last couple seasons We have been spoiled by the end season trade and I think this season is gonna be very similar to 2019 It's gonna be a lot of chatter and nothing is gonna happen and I've subverted my expectations So if nothing does happen in the 2023 deadline, I'm not mad about it But if something does happen and boom we all cloud nine about it as a content creator the trade deadline is is is super important So I'm Listen, we want big things that you know what I'm saying, but we made the video a couple days ago about parody distorting reality That's what you're gonna see today But we don't talk about the things that Sean wrote in this article But I do want to go take a trip down memory lane of the last couple trade that line So we can basically see how insane we have had it as NBA fans at this time every season in 2022 Y'all know that James Hardy got traded from the brickliness to the Philadelphia 76ers And as you know this one was a lot deeper than one of the all-time greats and James Harden going to his 13 and 3 13 and 3 seasons. What's his that? It was a 13 and 4 season. Either way It was a lot deeper than that because it would been rumored that James Hardy requested a trade He came out and say he didn't request a trade and then he actually did request a trade And on the 76er side of the side of things Ben Simmons passed out of the shot not too long ago Then decided he didn't want to play he had went to practice He had his phone in his pocket even though he refute that report But it was a lot that was deeper than just the trade itself So he was eating his NBA fans also in that same day out of nowhere Poor Ziggas got traded to the Washington Wizards This was a W trade that line one of the better ones we've ever had this so this 2021 gives me hope for 2023 just a glimmer of hope because in the last second the Orlando Mads decided you know what we're done would be in the eight seed every single season We gonna blow it up and we saw Aaron Gordon get trade to the different nuggets And he's planning an all-star caliber level here in 2022-2023 Vucevitz got traded to Chicago and it got people talking about the Bulls for like three hours or so That was good times and in a moment as a Bulls fan that it went through five years of a rebuild I was excited about this trade now. We look back on 2023 and say damn France Vogue is pretty good window card is pretty good that picked it They traded this top four protected looks pretty good But in the moment this was big for me as a Bulls fan and basically for the league because out of nowhere a team Decided not out of nowhere, but a team actually decided to blow it up like on the last day or two of the deadline 2020 was a weird one, but we did get one big trade that may not have seen like a huge trade in the moment Wiggins got traded to the Warriors and obviously we know in 2022 he went on to win the championship He's the second best player on the championship team So this ended up being a way bigger deal than what it was in the moment. So shout to Wiggs And then we get to 2019. Oh, I hate it 2019, bro I vividly remember me and the boys at a live stream for 2019 because this was the year of the Anthony Davis rumors They were everywhere. He was so ready to get out We did a whole live stream patiently waiting for Anthony Davis to be traded and he didn't get traded The biggest name being dealt was Markel folks The second biggest name was Marcos saw who helped him get a championship. So that was a dub But it was like overall a a big oh Because Anthony Davis didn't actually get traded at the deadline I obviously ended up getting traded a little bit down the line and he got a championship and then 2018 don't have the mega trade But it does have the the the Cavaliers Rebuilding on the fly the Cavaliers traded like 12 people at this deadline. They said we're gonna get brawn back at contention And I mean it, you know, you know, you understand what happened Oh, no, Blake Griffin got traded in 2018 to and then then Blake Griffin Went on to have his best individual season of all time when he got to Detroit So, you know, there was a there was a few it is here now, but this year. I'm not feeling none of that Shams dropped this article and I'm reading through it like damn We about to just see John Collins may be get traded. That might be the biggest name because These are so weird in Atlanta right now The John Collins has been on the market for so long that they told this man in his agent Y'all go find the deal because we didn't talk to all 29 other GM's and we can't figure out a deal that we like That puts us in a position to be successful. So you do it You do our work John if you want out, which I don't think he's ever actually said But if we are gonna trade you you better get us a good deal That is so wild to me and maybe it's happening to be a history for and I just don't know But like a team telling this man you and your agent find yourself a deal is crazy Because if John Collins get a deal that he's getting traded to Brooklyn The Atlanta Hawks just go they go say no because the way they value John Collins is not with the league is valuing him But me and the guys have been saying this John Collins. I'm going to another team and he gonna be back to being a really good player right now He just doesn't get to touch this. He just averaged 20 and 10 like two years ago I do believe a new change of senior will help him But them telling him to go figure it out yourself is wild to me. So Shams opened up his article I'm not gonna show you it because it's behind a paywall and I don't want the athletic to sue me I don't think they would but I'm not even gonna take no chances He opens up talking about John Collins and Jay Crowder still being on the trading block and the fact that this was the first sentence of this article Makes me sad and the next sentence is crazy However, one organization emerges at the deadline as a key hub for the entire NBA, which is true We saw that with the Orlando Magic a few years ago a team that normally sells the deadline. He's saying it's gonna be the spurs Spurs listen no disrespect to some of the people we are gonna name Yacob is is Yacob is the best name available But like a Dougie McBuck is Josh Richardson knows a cool names or whatever But like if a team trades for Josh Richardson and that is how I got to open up my trade that live video I'm gonna be pissed along the spurs the Charlotte Hornets are an organization that many across the league are keeping an eye on for Being a potential seller the Hornets though They're really and I mean really really bad they have pieces that I will be interested in as a GM depending on of course Where my team is like Terrell's year is a good player under contract for a long time It's a big deal four years 97 million. That's a lot of money But Terrell's year is a guy that can they can score and bunches Obviously something he might be taking way more shots that you want him to take now is Charlotte But like if you're trading for him, you're not getting from that high-value guy You're gonna see you're gonna subvert that a little bit You're gonna be muting that a little bit, but he's a good name Mason Plumley I think could go to a team and be a really really good backup because at this point in his career I don't see mace anybody that's trained if a Mason Plumley thinking that they're gonna throw him into the start of lineup But as a backup Mason Plumley would be one of the best backup centers of basketball depending on where he ends up going Pascal, Siakum, Ogyana, Nobby, Frevely, and Gary Trin Jr. are people that these executives are eyeing in case they decide to move one of their cornerstone pieces And CJ McCullum says something very interesting on his podcast a couple days ago Saying that he is really really confident that the Raptors are going to be trading one of their court pieces now In my mind the court pieces are those four people that they mentioned obviously they're not gonna trace Scottie So Pascal, Ogy, Freddy, or Gary Trin Jr. Frevely and Vleet is up for a free agency this offseason He wants a lot of money Gary Trin Jr. Also offer free agencies probably don't want a lot of money And it feels like a deal is definitely to be made with them being One of the more disappointing teams of my personal wise because I thought they were gonna be really solid this year So it makes sense they will make a deal But the fact that CJ McCullum who's the president of like the P the basketball PA What that a hell is tied with him saying that on his podcast means a little something because he's obviously tapped in if he's the president or Whatever speaking of presidents past past the politics. We don't do that on this channel. This picture is hard as hell Past the politics. It don't actually don't even look real. It looks like somebody photoshopped them together But this picture is hard shout out to the Warriors on their White House visit he mentioned that the Atlanta Hawks would be interested in Malik Beasley and Jair Vanderbilt and a John Collins trade which surprises me if this trade happens I'll be surprised because I didn't think that John Collins's value was Malik Beasley Who's one of the most high value three points? She was in basketball right now. It's Jair Vanderbilt Who was a high energy good defensive good rebound again now? He's hitting threes and he's playmaking a little bit more I didn't think that John college value would be those two pieces and if it does then Wow, the Atlanta Hawks walk out here a winner if you ask me Um, but I mean that that's if the deal happens everybody in their grandma is interested in bollabak Donovan's we knew that before it's just a matter of what they'll accept if they accept anything John walls would tend to be on the move because they're looking for a backup big to for Zubat The Timberwolves are trying to make a decision about d'Angelo Russell And I think I'm gonna make an entire Timberwolves video soon Um, because their situation is very good. It's very obvious that d'Angelo Russell was a good basketball player He just doesn't fit what they want to do and his comments in the media recently in the fact that this We're reporting on this now that he unfollowed the Timberwolves on social media He's out the door. It's just a matter of what the Minnesota Timbers want to do with him and would they be okay With getting somebody that is viewed as a lesser player But might fit with the Timberwolves more because I do believe they need a head steady point guard that is Not a guy that needs a lot of touches and d'Angelo Russell again is a good basketball player I don't want y'all to interpret that any other way, but he's he's he's he has a very obvious play style And I just don't think it fits with the Rudy. I don't think it fits with the anthony Edwards Um, and the other constructions of this team the sons and magic are merged as potential free agent suitors for frevin valet Um, and me and the guys. Oh man, I just have so many ideas for videos. Let me tease one Me and the guys are talking about, um, how long Can you rebuild before Your fans get antsy Right and of course, your little magic is like if they're interested in frevin valet This is not obviously completing the rebuild, but it's like them finally after what was it? I can't even say finally they did the bull straight in 2021. So two years They're like, okay. We got france. We got palo. We got windail. We got whatever this next lottery pick is going to be I think it's time for us to stop looking at Lottery odds and start trying to put together a competent roster more competencies. They've been good recently A more competent roster and it seemed like that's what they're doing and I want to start talking about those timelines That's a video for another day and you talk about my collar a little bit how the clippers are interested the temples are interested and and that's Those are the biggest rumors in basketball right now Yeah, that's it. That was the biggest rumors of basketball. I know, you know, I'm saying this stars. It's disgruntled Every starter league right now as happy as can be And and nobody you know, no phoenix son's talking there. You mentioned j crowder my father rafael nadal Just got eliminated in the second round. God damn straight sets Sheesh, um, you mentioned j crowder, but the sun's routine. It should be doing something There's not a peep to it And i'm hoping that gms is keeping a mouth closed and not really tellable shams nothing because we need something Because right now it looks grim. I do want to apologize for the lack of, um, consistency over here I've I've been doing so much stuff between this channel game and channel the other channel. I'm kind of What's what's the word? Right you thin Um, obviously there's only a certain amount of time in the day And obviously I got to allocate something most of that time a good opportunity that time to family and my daughter and stuff So I will admit that I haven't been uploading here as much as I want to but i'm really starting to get into the groove It takes a little bit more And um, just know that just know just know that just know that we're back. We back on the grind, baby Appreciate y'all
