 What's the word y'all? Okay, we got a trade and I got to talk about I'm gonna try my very hardest to one take this one But something I have not kept y'all in a loop on my lungs are not as good as they used to be is we're saying that it's 25 years Oh, but it is a fact so as one of the reasons why you don't see me one take videos anymore It's because I don't have the breath to actually do it I'm gonna try my hardest because Rudy go beard just got traded it felt inevitable But I was still kind of skeptical that they were gonna do it this backcourt This pairing of Donovan mention we go bear has been together for some years. They've been good enough to make the playoffs But but that's just it, you know They might have had some off-court issues that they kind of swept under the rug Especially when we got to the point where we go bears touching all the all the microphones and gave Donovan Mitchell to your dick But but it felt like sisters a small marketing. We got to all start players We might just run it back because that basically guarantees us a playoff spot every single season But over the last couple years we've seen disappointment after disappointment after disappointment once he got to the playoffs and they did it Oh my god, this is a trade and it is a huge trade It is Malik Beasley Patrick Beverly Jair Vanderbilt Balmero the 2022 overall picking issues grab Walker Kessler for first-round picks three of them are unprotected 2023 2025 2027 and then in 2029 is top five protected What the heck History is repeating itself again. Ladies and gentlemen, we talked about a couple days ago How we were talking about um the Dijont's a Murray traded in that video I was talking about how it doesn't happen often that we see teams give up multiple unprotected picks Well, we saw it. We're seeing it twice right now We're seeing it for the second time in a week's time and Kevin Arendt is gonna get traded eventually That's what we think Rudy got basically five first-round picks because Walker Kessler ain't played just yet And he was just drafted last week So five first-round picks for Rudy go beard and people had the nerve to drop trades that had KD getting traded to the Celtics and it was only two first-round picks involved. No KD is getting seven of them things We're talking swaps. We're talking unprotected all of that either way Rudy go beard is now a Minnesota temple whoa My initial responses, of course, it came out That the trade was happening Brian one horse headed first on TV and people laughed at him I get I don't really know the story. I don't really watch TV like that But I just remember when the tray happened everybody kept saying when horse I got it first either way The trade happened and I was excited because it is well documented that I'm like one of the biggest Rudy go Bear fans on the platform whether be on this channel on my podcast anywhere I've talked about basketball I've been very high on Rudy go bear because I believe his deterrence at the rim is all-time great Rudy go beard is a bona fide Hall of Fame or whether you like it or not, right? So it's well documented that I am a big Rudy go bear fan And I've been waiting for the day that he gets traded to a different organization So we can see him in a different role not a different role because rim protection is rim protection But in a different scenario where it's not him and for the people that don't play any defense And you're kind of getting that with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Yes They trade away Patrick Beverly and Jared Vanderbilt who were like two of the best defenders on the Minnesota Timberwolves this year But they still only had a 24 of 25th rate defense before this and Rudy go bear by himself is a bona fide top five defense So now we get to see that again back like I'm rambling is one take whatever Rudy go bear is my one of my favorite centers in all of basketball. He has been my favorite for a long time. I Do not understand and maybe this will come out Who the hell the Minnesota Timberwolves were bidding against? Right, like I said, it felt relatively inevitable That either Rudy or Donovan were going to be traded and it came out that the Utah Jazz are trying to retool around Donovan Mitchell, they don't plan to trade and we go talk about that in a minute because that's even weird to me Who I know that the Bulls are interested the Bulls don't have anything close to this not even close The Bulls have like two first round picks that they could throw you basically gave up five So my question is who are you bidding against to give them? Malik Beasley rotational player Patrick Beverly NBA starter Jeff Vanderbilt NBA starter and then five first-round picks Bob Marrow I ain't really played but he was the first round pick to so counted six first round picks I don't know who they were who they were bidding against but They got their guy now. I'm looking at this roster You got a big you got a big three basically you got constantly towns who just signed his extension max extension You got Rudy go bears under contract for the next four or five seasons And now you got Anthony Edwards who's gonna be up for an extension next season I'm just gonna assume that it's gonna be the max. You still have the angel of rust So you kept him in a trade and then the rest you got like um, how Anderson you just picked up tour your princess bag You got some pieces over there But does this team immediately become a championship contender immediately? I don't think they do it all relies On that guy Kermit that guy that tear rise bow crews for two hours of the movie It is all on Anthony Edwards his back this teams now and its future is dependent on whether or not Anthony Edwards Can blossom into super stardom and I don't put it past them So yeah, it probably wasn't not probably it it wasn't overpay But you might look back on and be like we don't really give a damn because if Anthony Edwards can turn into the player That they believe and a lot of people leave he can't be then it's fine. We have a legitimate big three With a let this is just a small I mean a very small amount of wiggle room for the for the future But still five first round picks is a Hall and to have three of them be completely unprotected is a little bit scary I was just listening to a zacklos podcast him and um, oh my god. Who is he on what I got? I got to give my my respect where it's due so let me hold it Let me go ahead and try to figure out who this was and ramble a little bit But what they were talking about and the guy came out and he looked five years ago five years ago power rankings, right? It had the Minnesota Tim Wolves in there because they just had Jimmy Butler It had the Washington was in there because Bradley Beale was young and Otto Porter was young and John Wall was in his prime And I'm just saying that to say it was Kevin Pelton by the way shout to Kevin Pelton a lot of things can change in five years time You gave up a pick that is seven years in the future That's five years in the future and we see with the Brooklyn Nets and three years these can be completely different So I know it's scary Minnesota Tim Wolves fans to give up all those picks, but y'all been in a realm of mediocrity since Kevin Gardner left This right here could put y'all to the point where we're not just a playing team and getting into the playoffs We are like legitimate one of the top four or five seats in the Western Conference with the possibility of getting better Depending on Anthony Edwards people are like, oh man, um, oh, these are all my first day reactions I should have said that at the beginning of the video my opinions could change the trade happened 12 minutes ago ladies 12 minutes ago. Um people are saying. Oh, what does that mean? Carnegie Towns is running the four. Yeah Cardi Towns is basically running the four this season anyway, we're Jeff Vanderbilt being the five on offense and on defense Jeff Vanderbilt is in a dunker spot all season long while Carnegie Towns stretch the floor Carnegie Towns zone of perimeter while Jeff Vanderbilt got got rid of these big unless we're going to get like Jokic or or or Joellen be where you need like the huge huge body and cat tick those assignments But cat has been actively playing what would be a four position in basketball this last season. He'll be fine I promise you he'll be fine I'm just excited to see Rudy go beer in a different spot, but let's talk about the Utah Jazz because A hall a legitimate hall again. I said that the Bulls were interested This is way better than a potential. Um, Vusevich Coby white and maybe Patrick Williams and two first round picks I'm taking this over that any day because again, they said that their their objective is to retool Around Donovan Mitchell and not to bottom out The reason I said earlier that's a little bit weird because I I would not be surprised that Dono's excited right now. You know I'm saying I got some new players in we got Patrick Beverly Who's a hard-nosed offender that's gonna get people in shape. We got Jeff Vanderbilt Who's a war course his nickname is v8 for a reason we got Malik Beasley who can light it up He goes through hot streaks and cold streaks But officially I ain't gotta worry about Rudy go bear who it seems like I don't really like anyway But in the year You know you gotta admit Donovan Mitchell since his NBA career started He's kind of been accustomed to being a very good um regular season player Regular season team They have been a playoff team as long as Donovan Mitchell has been in this league I can see him through the first couple months being like I'm looking around. Who is my star center? Who is this? I mean, I guess they got some more deals maybe down the line, but like And we missing Rudy, which means that our defenses crash Oh snap. We're a 500 team. I ain't really digging this and then eventually a year down the line two years down the line He's requesting to trade anyway I personally I would try to be proactive similarly to what the the spurs did and trade him Why he's at the peak of his powers the peak of his asset the amount of assets you could get Because if you're getting five first round picks Rudy go bear I'm feeling good about what I could get from Donovan Mitchell So, um, they said they want to retool I will see exactly what that means. Um, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to potentially move Jordan Clarkson and Bogdanovic and get some damn money and get some more picks because they got Five five four first round picks in this trade. They got a first round pick for Royce O'Neill So they're trying to get that pick equity up and I guess that's Danny Ains trying to do the oh you dig again trying to finesse Is this the Brooklyn Nets circa, um, Kevin garden at Paul Pierce 2.0? Probably not but but it's a it's potential. It's a potential and now Danny Ains gonna reap those awards again There's so much that needs to be said. Hold on. I actually actually wrote notes so I can um Real real life try to one take this but this is not a good sign right here to have to go through the notes app Um and and go through these things. Hold on. Here. Hold on. Hold on. Here. This is what uh, oh, Patrick Beverly Gave his heart and soul for a season He tweeted when you gave Torian Prince some money and said hey good deal when Cal Anderson When Cal Anderson got his money with him. He tweeted love this and just like that. He has shipped out of the dough Tim Connelly man Heartless mf. Uh, huh That boy Patrick Beverly was so excited to be a timber wolf And now he's got to be a jazz and I was seeing Utah jazz fans saying hey I don't I don't even know personally Um, I can root for Patrick Beverly considering the stuff he's done in the uh in the NBA in the last couple seasons Jere Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley hear this. This is this is fun Jere Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley have been traded by Tim Connelly two different dimes Because if you don't remember Tim was over there and um Denver and he traded v8 And Malik Beasley over here and then he got to over here and he traded them to the next team He just don't mess with them bro. He legitimately do not mess with them um I again root ago bear one of my favorite in the league I have to admit that this was an overpay again That's that's 12 minutes after the trade has gone down now. I might look back on this be like, oh, it ain't that bad um Anthony Edwards, you got to carry the angelo russell was still on the team And i'm curious about his future with the team I don't think they're gonna move him now because he's the only person that could get root ago Beard involved offensively It seems like you know a bunch of lobs and things like that because the angelo russells are pretty good picking role player um I don't think they're gonna move him this off season I honestly would be wouldn't be surprised if they extended him Once the season was over not at the 30 plus million dollars that he's on now But way way more team friendly deal because that's what they're gonna have to do Like I said Rudy's on the contract a big old contract Continent towns to sign the max and then anthony eras is gonna award a max too So you you have to do the small things around the edges Tim has a reputation of drafting well in the second round So that might ease the pain for minnesota timberwolves fans at least a little bit Even though he's traded a lot of the picks that he's recently had He he traded Don Mitchell He traded Rudy go beard on draft knight, you know what i'm saying? It seems like he's got a knack a good eye for talent But also don't realize when he should keep and when he should trade away Either way again as a fan that doesn't have any stake in this fight This is an exciting as tree to see an NBA hall of famer one of the best in basketball Yes, I said it be moved on to his next team to team up with two other guys that are really really good I think that the future of the minnesota timberwolves could be really bright depending on how Rudy go beard ages Because he is already 30 years old But with anthony eras playing the way he has played and looking like he can be better Carthony towns being shifted over to basically a new role on the offensive and defensive side of the ball It's going to be interesting Um, and i'm excited for it man. Let me know what you think about this great in the comment section I swear to god anytime I one take a video Once I hit this button that says stop recording I immediately think of a 30 other things that I want to say So we might do another recap later today where I give different opinions or more or add on to this, but I appreciate you
