 Here are some of the biggest moves the notable trades around the association and Frank Listening to a lot of the top pundits around the league They think the big winners today were the Knicks and the Mavericks. I'm gonna ask our big pundit. What do you think? Funny Kelly Olenek ending up on the Toronto Raptors I think Toronto is trying to acquire every player from the Canadian national team. They should try getting shake of the Salah's and Jamal Murray that would be a good start. I think the Knicks did really well We talked about Alec Berks on this show a week ago or two weeks ago They needed backcourt help off the bench. He's gonna help Bogdanovich who obviously net fans are familiar with I think he's gonna I think the Knicks did really well. It's like they're they're not no longer just trying to hit home runs It's about hitting you know singles and doubles moving runners over for a baseball analogy So I think the Knicks did really really well Philadelphia is interesting because Buddy Hill is due to get an extension I think Indiana looked at it more from a financial standpoint Philadelphia right now is four and twelve with that Joel and beat where you like that move Were you surprised by them moving Patrick Beverly though to the box? Well, I don't think I Think that's a desperation move by the Milwaukee Bucks I think the Milwaukee Bucks had a lot of players that they were probably looking at and they couldn't get any of I don't know what Patrick Beverly really does. He's a terrible offensive player. Yes, he'll defend for me There's a lot of antics involved in that. I think Milwaukee's in a really tough spot They're gonna have to get better from within but that trade that they made to get low They got better offensively defense of a damn embed by the way They're one and four since Doc Rivers began coaching the other interesting move is okc getting Gordon Hayward How about this stat and this is according to stat news if you see it on Twitter really good Twitter account The last time Gordon Hayward made the all-star game was in 2017 No current Oklahoma City Thunder players were in the NBA at that time So that's how a that's how young the Thunder are be that's how long ago it was that Gordon Hayward was in the all-star game But I think that's a good move for okc to get a veteran player I think PJ Washington being on the move with Dallas think about Grant Williams Grant Williams went down to Dallas He came from a team that almost went to the finals here He's thinking all right. I'll be in the playoffs with Dallas now You're on a rebuilding situation in Charlotte now There was a name that was being bandied about out there for a couple of weeks Maybe three or four weeks to be exact Ajante Murray His name has been it was linked to the Nets at one point the Knicks Lot of trying to bring him to New York a lot of teams were surrounding around Ajante Murray Maybe the asking price was too high just signed that four-year extension with the Hawks Are you surprised that he's still there? You know if you look at his contract He had a trade kicker which would have been a lot of money So I think teams might have been a little bit worried about taking that on but it certainly was a name that was out there Maybe Atlanta right now where they sit They could still be in obviously the playing tournament So maybe they're thinking they're gonna get better over the second half get healthier But this is a team that a few years ago Remember the Brooklyn Nets lost to Milwaukee in that second round series Milwaukee played Atlanta and Atlanta ever since then has really gone down They started picking that roster apart. They really haven't gotten back to a to a top level Maybe that was just a lucky run that they went on that year I think they gave up a lot to get to John de Murray So if you're gonna trade a player like the John de Murray after you gave up all those assets to get him You have to get a lot back to justify moving him and before we move on from the Sixers He's not there yet, but there were some rumors about Kyle Lowry a Philly guy went to Villanova Maybe the Sixers are trying to bring him into the fold as well There's a lot of guys in the buyout market right now Bobby Marks who does a terrific job Obviously used to work here for the Nets a long time ago He's ESPN's front office insider here listed teams that because of the way their salary cap is they cannot get a player in the buyout Market if that player is buying out of a contract that was $12 million or more So that kind of limits and that's a group that includes the Milwaukee Bucks the Miami Heat teams that traditionally Have looked at the buyout market as a way to improve the roster the Golden State Warriors or another team who didn't make a move today So there's a lot there's a lot of different things that could happen Also, let's remember to mention Phoenix as I like I like them getting worse on you and the Lakers didn't make a move today However, other rumors are saying if Spencer didn't wait he does get waved by the Toronto Raptors The Lakers are one of those teams looking into him and a reunion possibly with the Mavericks Yeah, and speaking of former Nets, you know, D'Angelo Russell has played really well for the Lakers So maybe the asking price was too much at the Lakers. We're gonna trade D'Angelo Russell It's gonna have to happen for the Lakers from the team that they have remember They went to the conference finals last year They have the ability to do that if Anthony Davis and LeBron James could stay healthy The biggest issue the Lakers will have if they end up in the play-in tournament It makes it that much more difficult that happened last year and you can tell they were run down because guess what? The best part of their team is still 39 year old LeBron James one more for you before we hit the break Frank Is it unfair do you think to have teams play on deadline day? You know, it's a fair point to make because now that so many teams are not only fighting for playoff position You have a team like the Brooklyn Nets, which wants to get into the play-in tournament So now a big game tonight against a stacked Cleveland Cavalier team You're depleted and now the guys that you acquired aren't even here yet. So it's unfair for a lot of teams I don't know what the solution would be You know, maybe can you do it on a night where there are no games that that would make sense But the NBA remember because you because of the in-season tournament So that reduces the amount of days that teams play and there were a couple of Sundays Where nobody played and that was due to the in-season tournament. So Chris you got to make up those games somehow Unfortunately for the Nets they kind of get you know, they're at a disadvantage because the trade deadline was today at three
