 What's the word y'all listen? We are back. It's been a minute since we've done one of these trade videos And when I say a minute, I think it's been like four days or so You know I'm saying if you know around here one thing we do very often on this channel is go through articles react to trades And I say hey if I was this team I'll accept it, but I won't accept this team And it's usually at the expense of bleach report, but I have not got a call a text an email to say hey Kenny How about you stop talking about our articles negatively? So we're gonna continue to do that I'm just kidding. I mean I I give constructive criticism a south of Zach Buckley He's usually the guy that's going to be making these trade articles and for the most part I He does a solid job at times And I think in this video we have two different trade articles and I think they're both written by Zach Buckley So he just out here boom boom boom GM this GM that he says to leave like when the video Subscribe if you're new let's get into it five stars five star NBA trades You never thought of five stars. He usually when we do these reaction videos to these trades sometimes you get traces like okay It's a rotational player for a rotational player the end of that ain't nobody cares. We're talking about five star trades star And we got James Hardin so we're gonna get to the point where James hards in a tray package And I have an idea this probably gonna be dealing with Joel and beat or Ben Simmons because that's something that has been I wouldn't say rumored but NBA fans have been drawing this up since H-town got eliminated from the playoffs and Since Philly got eliminated both of them. So let's see what we got mr. Buckley trade number one Philly finds a playmaker Utah ads stretch for we have My colleague George's knee aim Tobias Harris shake Milton to first round picks five star NBA trades Five star in the trades Tobias Harris my Conley five star in your trades to bet It ain't adding up. Okay. So here we are Philly finds a playmaker Utah adds a stretch for my colleagues one of my favorite players in the NBA He's one of the few players in the NBA that I have you know, like those Jersey shirts I don't say like the team name and the number and the stuff on the back I got a Memphis Grizzlies my Conley one years ago and only have a few of them in my my dresser So my colleagues really a guy I like Very disappointing season very very disappointing season I thought he was gonna potentially you know potentially give Utah this as if they were looking for but he just did not do that Especially we compare it to like the year before that year before that So this trade on paper is just I don't enjoy it for either side really I mean, maybe if I'm great and then who would like it more to be Utah and the only reason I say that is because you're getting off to Tobias Harris contract But you're also throwing the two first round pick So do you want to trade the be sure you want to get off this money because my colleague will be a free agent You know my colleague be a free agent because I think he has a player option So you'll be a free agent after next season Tobias Harris is guaranteed for four more years So you want to get off this max money for a player that's nowhere near max max caliber Do you want to throw one of your young promising guys in two picks? To dump a contract and just get a guy that disappointed last season probably not so in this situation I'm gonna say no no no hard pass next Wizards get defensive interesting jazz get younger deeper now second trade Two of them dealing with the Utah Jazz and not with the same trade piece Hypothetically speaking if you wanted to draw this up it's okay. You could put together both of these trades to see what happened to the Utah Jazz So you have really go bear getting traded for Thomas Brian Troy Brown Joe your is Smith more Wagner in a ninth overall pick So we got all of you all of the West was just players to suffer Bradley Beal and John Wall in this case really go bear Okay, this is an interesting trade I mean this is Depending on if Utah Jazz have decided that they do want to break up Donovan Mitchell and the really go bear tandem Obviously it works well It's just maybe not well enough that you would want to win a championship and really go bear It's gonna be up for a contract soon and we every time his name comes up in each trade videos I have to mention it because it's very important really go bear. It is a very good good NBA player He's been an all NBA player defensive player to your twice all defensive player for the last couple years He is that impactful of a player, but he's gonna be qualified for a super max contract Personally, I would not want to be the person the team to give him a super max and maybe that's not really his value Maybe maybe whatever team he is on whether it be Utah whether they get trade them don't even offer him a super max I just don't even want it to be on the table with him on him on my team, right? So this is the jazz of like, okay We don't want to give him the max and we want to go a different direction Sure, this kind of makes sense for that way, but for the watch to wizards, it's interesting We don't know what John Wall is gonna look like and one thing we can say about John Wall Whether he looks great or not. He's gonna force feed a center, you know Marching or time was out there just getting the ball to do a quick little flip shots like that because John Wall set him up So well and we go bearer like that I mean he complained about touches, but I guess these classifies touches, but they're not like give me the ball Let me create it's just like again flip up shots So that would be cool to see but think about the money that will be in Washington. You just extended Bradley Beal John Wall's making 40 plus million then you could potentially have to pay Rudy Gobert a max contract super max contract That three is good enough to make the playoffs for sure That's not a championship quality three and you'll be giving up three max boxes and the rest of your team is gonna be bonds You have really hot you more someone's Ricky deal But you're gonna be signed a place for the vet minimum to come to Washington and just be good, but not great I'm passing. I'm passing Next we have Pacers at point God. Okay. I like to see the point God He's gonna be in every single trade article because he's one of the most valuable assets Depending on who you ask on the trademark of the season Let's get the third star and a thunder embrace you again making trade articles where there's two teams It's hard a three-team trade is damn damn possible to make it work So let's see if he did any other Pacers get Chris Paul in the 25th overall pick from Denver The Denver's pick from okay, see Brooklyn gets Victor deep on Jeremy Lamb. He did say he wanted out But then he reacted retracted that statement Okay, see gets cares liver Jared Allen and Torian Prince. I Bet okay C fans will be happy with that because you know, you're gonna have to trade Chris Paul That's the fact you get a carousel of her who has shown glimpses that he can be very very good in his league Jared Allen has so he could be very very good in his league And he can be the next center because you're probably gonna have to deal Stephen Adams or let Stephen Adams Do his thing because he just doesn't fit the timeline. I bet okay C fans will be happy with this Honestly, this package for Chris Paul in a 25th overall pick not bad Brooklyn You're giving up Keras You're giving up Jared Allen and you're getting up Torian Prince and you're getting back a guy coming off an Achilles injury and Victor Ladipo who Has to redeem himself. Let's be honest after the injury. He doesn't look amazing I still have hope but he had to redeem himself and then Andy gets a point guard. I Guess Malcolm Brogdon. They play a lot of backer or back off ball when he was in Milwaukee and even this season, too He played a lot off ball need he thrived in that role Paste your fans you'd be trading Victor Ladipo and Jeremy Lamb for Chris Paul in the 25th pick And maybe it's something I don't know but I don't think that's terrible, right if Victor depots really like I won out Then this ain't terrible. The only thing is of course Chris Paul's contract and his age That's something that's gonna hold you back for sure And Chris Paul with this roster doesn't make them a championship contender either So I can see you'd be like and we'd rather just keep Jeremy lamb and Victor Ladipo and look for a different option Brooklyn, I think Brooklyn will be okay with this You know One of the reasons they made the firing of their coach is because there was some animosity between Jared Allen and DeAndre Jordan As far as who gets to start and everything So if you're getting him out of there you already seen or you're already making the narrative that Kara Sliver Won't be able to fit alongside Kyrie and Katie because he is ball dominant Victor deep on Jeremy lamb wouldn't be a terrible package The only thing is both of these guys are coming off injuries both of these guys are coming off injury So maybe you don't want to you know, take that leap It's not a bad three-team trade, but there is of course pros and cons to each thing in here next Sons go big. Okay blazers rebuild. They now we're getting to the star caliber trades For sure in the worris at a wing another three-team trade This guy's just throwing out the three teams like this like that. The sons receive Damian Lillard Okay, Portland Treblazer fans. I don't see Damian Lillard ever getting traded like honestly He's he's looks like a four lifer for me, but again, we're just living in this fictional world Let's see what else he's what else is going on So if you are trading Damian Lillard Portland Treblazer fans, you're getting back Ricky Rubio Miquel Bridges smiley Jordan pool the second overall pick the 2022 first round pick top three protected from Phoenix and a 2024 first round pick unprotected from Phoenix Um The only way you trade Damian Lillard is if you walked into the office and say, okay, I'm done Right. That's the only reason you would trade him and if you are trading him Sure, you don't get the star player in return that you would probably want but this is a rebuild You get Ricky Rubio who's older, but he'll be off contract very soon You get Miquel Bridges who in the bubble we saw that he is a really viable 3 and D option and I think he's only 23 24 years old you get smiley who was killing the G-league I'm just gonna I'm just trying to talk you into everything smiley was killing the G-league Jordan pool, I still don't have an opinion all just yet. You get the second overall pick You get a pick from Phoenix two picks from Phoenix um You get two picks from Phoenix Portland Treblazer fans You're the real one in this situation that you'd probably say no the Warriors We get Kelly Ubre and drop down to the 10th pick They get a wing that they've been wanting Another wing that they've been wanting and then they still get a top 10 pick. It's just not the number two I Think the Phoenix Suns do the straight again. They've been wanting to make the playoffs You saw they went they were 8-0, but then again, you're probably like, hey, we just want to wait 8-0 Do you want to trade Miquel? Do you want to trade Ricky Rubio these guys yourself? Let's go 8-0 in the bubble But it's Damian Lillard. Come on, bro You sons fans will probably do this deal, right? Problem trouble is fans again This is only if Damian Lillard walks in to say I won out you get the second overall pick You get some young pieces and then more picks and then the Warriors get another wing that they can they can add Onto the rotation who could run some four back of four or four spot If you want to go small with Dreymon at the five and wigs and clay and stuff, and then you whoever you get that 10th overall pick I Can say so far these three team trades ain't terrible. I've seen some really bad three teams trade trades, especially uh Especially on Twitter next Milwaukee moves All in Minnesota adds a star and Houston resets Okay, Milwaukee Bucks get James Harden You got to show me what okay Houston getting Jericho over a top 7 the was he number five pick last year in that realm Didn't look great as Ricky season, but he was a rookie Dante DeVincenzo DJ Wilson James Johnson in the first overall pick and the 24th overall pick and a another pick That's top three protected from Milwaukee. That could be interesting. I'm saying it could be an instant pick Minnesota Tracy first overall pick and get back Chris Middleton in a second Same thing like I said any other article or the other trade up here This is if James Harden walks is like okay less. I don't want to be here anymore, right? That's the only way you trade James Harden at least I think I thought there's gonna be a trade dealing with Philly I did not see this happening the Milwaukee Bucks getting James Harden will be ridiculous But if you are trading James Harden, you get the first overall pick and again, this is a draft class. It's not stark power There's no guaranteed job. There's no guarantees. I I like last year, but the first overall pick can get you something great, of course Jerk over some of these guys may be not amazing This this is I I guess again if James Harden wants out Men Minnesota I think it would be hard to convince the Minnesota fans to trade the first overall pick for Chris Middleton Even though I don't know if there's a person in this draft class that will ever peek at the point of Chris Middleton and Minnesota fans want to make the playoffs, right? Chris Middleton would help you make the playoffs. I'm being honest with you The Angela Russell Chris Middleton and Kat will help you make the playoffs But it's gonna be hard to convince the fans that we're trading the first overall pick for Chris Middleton That's it. There was another article that I had and It's also star related. Let's go back full-screen Trades to rescue ringless star like NBA's ringless stars. I don't know how many there is in this one There's five. There's five of them and we've already gone 12 minutes on the other one This won't go 12 minutes. I don't think but this one's from today. Here we go We go bear to Boston. We've already talked about really go bear and why maybe you don't want to trade for him But let's talk about why you might want to in this trade You got really go bear and Davis and George's in the Yang for Gordon Hey, we're Daniel Tyson Gordon didn't go in here for your booed after he left Gordon Hey, we're Daniel Tyson 14th overall pick Boston the reason you would potentially do this deal is of course as bad as I've mentioned You know, you happen to be the team to pay him. You'd also have to pay Jason Tatum coming up He raises your ceiling as a championship quality team. It is a fact and As long as you have a coach that is willing to sit him when he is not being good, then you're fine and Brassie this can be that guy Brassie this can be that guy This definitely raises your ceiling Again, yeah the money the money the money you touch as fans I don't know how you feel about bringing back Gordon Hey, we're Daniel Tyson the 14th overall pick for your all NBA Center next Chris Potter Milwaukee We don't have to talk about this. This trade has popped up a thousand times every blitz. Oh Every side of yourself and I said even this we just trades popped up a thousand times. I do this trade cool Yannis Lillard get a new run hold on Yannis and Lillard get new running mates. Okay. This is weird Bradley Beal goes to Milwaukee Chris Middleton goes to Portland and Washington gets CJ Anthony Simons Naslittle 1624 and another pick that's top three protected Okay Trailblazer fans How do you feel about trading CJ and a lot of pieces by the way, you're not just trading CJ You trade in Anthony Simon's who I still believe the Anthony Simon's gonna have a very a decent NBA career You trade in Naslittle who I didn't see enough of to have an opinion on you trade in your pick And you're trading another pick to upgrade from CJ to Chris Middleton Chris Middleton is a better player at this point on both sides of the floor I think I can say that and not get crucified in the comments section But I see that much of an upgrade that you're willing to throw this big package at Probably not this this he raised your ceiling more than CJ probably so but as you raise your ceiling to a championship team probably not On the other hand Bradley be able to be exactly what a team like the Portland I mean a team like the Milwaukee Bucks could need because let's let's be honest, bro That 30 is not a fluke You know that 30 is not a fluke that guy actually he's just built like that Paul George to Brooklyn. Okay Carousel vs. Mississippi and Jared out 19th overall pick. I mean if you're gonna trade Paul George This is not a bit. This is not a bad return for Paul George. Honestly, it's not it wouldn't be a bad return for Paul George Carousel we already talked about, you know, how he showed sides of being very very good and he can play on ball special then would he shot to special then would he Very solid Jared Allen. I mean you probably have to let Mattress here walks with Jared Allen coming in and playing those minutes Would be cool and you also get a pick. I Don't hate this. I wouldn't hate this credit if I'm the Clippers if you're looking to get off Paul George at this point before it becomes a free agent next season not a bad return and for the Brooklyn That's we know Paul George is ceiling We know he's ceiling and in this situation you wouldn't have to rely on him to be your second best player He'd be your third best player Right. Yeah, we can we can say that. Yeah, he'd be a third best player And then lastly we have James Harden to Philly. This is Detroit I thought it was gonna be in the first article James Harden for Ben Simmons Mike Skye's out your Smith in a 21 I think it's an interesting little thing. I think it'd be interesting. Honestly, I think it'd be very very interesting. I Would love to see the Houston Rockets have been Simmons with the shooters around him And I would love to see Philly have a guy like Joel and B It's been a long time since we've seen James Harden and like a flowy good offense It's just kind of like give me the ball on my nicely I would love to see him in a flowy moving off the ball type offense and it's been a minute So he'd probably have to relearn how to run off screens, but It's interesting straight. That's it.
