 What's the word y'all I'm back You know I'm saying back with the articles today, we got the biggest decision every NBA team We'll have to make this offseason what stormy off more than anything is the fact that they use the capital I In this will and then to lowercase else Why did they do that when they already have a lowercase I here? I Do I isn't that weird? Teams will is that or is it I can't say it's all capitalized because that's not a capitalized I don't know. I don't know the heck Grant Hughes is doing over here But I like these articles where it kind of talks about every single team because that gives me an opportunity to also Talk about every single team. So let's get into it the biggest decision every team would have to make this offseason How do we maximize tree young? I think this is kind of a kind of an easy thing you put them around good good defenders Good 3D dudes and so far Travis Slank the general managers been doing a pretty decent job at that They like, you know what? Okay, we're not actually trying to do a traditional rebuild We just get all young guys in here and have them progress We're actually gonna trade for some quality players right now like like appella. They already have John Collins Who is a dual threat as far as I'm gonna pick a row. He can pop he can roll I think they came ready. It's the second half of the season was very good And they they have the pieces right now is just about progressing them and Continuing to like get like let's get a bench mob in there, baby. They don't have to be The best Benz players in the league. Let's just get some solid role players in there Like Trader for Jeff T wasn't a bad idea considering tray young didn't really have a backup for the entire season until that point so just get like Relatively cheap bench players let your young continue to grow like cameras continue to grow Hopefully has a good success with sophomore season see I click appella plays with them and let John Collins continue to grow That would be my answer to that question next Jason Tatum's max extension Is that a big decision to make? Give him the max. It's it's Jason Tatum has shown me that he is a superstar or on his way to be that I Have I would have no problem if I was the front office of any team and offering Jason Tatum a full max Contract that's not even a big decision. I thought they were gonna throw something up and else in there like a Improving our center position for next year and Jason Tatum's max extension should be a no-brainer to me And maybe I'm wow, but I watched a lot of bosses else's this year And that boy is the best player on that roster give him his max right now Right now just because a decision is big doesn't mean it's difficult. Oh, okay true. I guess you're right It's not a difficult decision. I guess it is a big decision considering how much money a max contract is cool next Taste the third star via trade or nah Yeah, that is actually a big decision to make because again, we haven't seen Kyrie and Katie play together So we don't even know if they necessarily need a third star to be successful But you also don't want to wait until it's too late to try to bring in that third star You don't want to wait till the next season after that till you realize okay now We need a third star Because some of the players that you were gonna use in those trades Have less time on their contract or now our free agents So that is a big decision to make that 100% is a is a big decision to make I would go around the route of yes get a third star because you can never be too talented Right is that the same you can never be too talented And the third star helps them get more talent I mean obviously you lose some depth when you try to make these type of trades But we've seen teams be successful with a big three and maybe not a large amount of depth and that is a Case in point the Miami Heat one two out of four titles with really no bench Really no bench and really not that many great roleplayers I mean at one point in time their bench rotation was like a bunch of 33 and you're an older guys in the NBA They made it work. They made it work And we know KD is a talented enough guy carries a talented enough guy They just need that third piece so I would I would go in or making a trade How to spend all that cap space I would personally say for them I'll just throw some money at some restrictive free agents and hope that some team is dumb enough not to match You know that would be my Thing for the Charlotte horns because right now they don't really have a direction They I think they did well in the draft last season with PJ Washington, but even like Miles Brissus, I know he's a fan favorite over there, Charlotte, but he hasn't really done much in his career so far It's here rules your contract It's a bit bit extreme, but he's also pretty decent as well Vontes alone that one million dollar deal because the second round pig I would say throw some money at some restrict its and hope that nobody matches I see the name Christian Wood here. Yes, my dress here here. Yes, because You know I'm saying it's not much more you can do just throw a bag I think Christian will be a great piece for y'all team next And around on Jim Boiler. I mean, yeah That's a similar to like with the boss of Celtics a big decision doesn't have to be a difficult decision Get this man out of my locker room Get him out, bro I'm actually so surprised that he's even still the coach at this moment We just saw Daniel Gaffer. He was streaming. He's playing some 2k and somebody in a chat asked him his opinion on Jim Boiler And he was like he's cool But he can grow as a person and grow as a coach That that's like that's your third string center saying that And I'm always remember the play where Daniel Gaffer was on the floor in pain holding this ankle And Jim Boiler look right at that boy and decided not to call a timeout. This boy is an agony Agonizing pain and Jim was like we can just play four on five right now Get that boy out of our get him out of here. The fact that they haven't done it yet scares me a little bit I've seen some conspiracy theories that the bull is gonna keep him around so we can suck one more year because the 2021 draft class It's also be deep as hell But I can't do another year of us winning 20 games. I'm sorry, bro. I can't do it. I can't do it It hurts me. I was it. I was a season ticket holder this year and didn't go to a lot of games That's how that's how much it hurt Jim Boy is not a good coach next I'll just jump his future with the franchise. I am pretty confident that I don't jump is gonna take that player option because it's worth a lot of money and I don't even know if you can do anything about it At this point you can't I think he's taking that money This is not a decision you have to make this front off or this offseason because he's probably gonna take that player option We're flight 28 million or so because he's not getting that on the open market right now. I Don't know about it if 28.8 million actually is the exact number Which he plans to pick up Yeah, next a timard with juniors contract So I do is been really good this season his 19 million dollar player option gives him the power to decide what he does next 19 million dollars for a guy like tomorrow a juniors a pretty decent contract as far as I would see if I was his agent I was like, okay, let's take that Not only did you just have a great season? We don't know what the cap is gonna look like this offseason and You're playing alongside Luca and if there's anybody that can find you for open shots in hardaway, it will be Luca It will be Luca next Jeremy Grant Paul Milsep or both that is actually up now This is a difficult decision and I think we'll probably see that in these eight games and then the playoffs of what they They're going to do. I still see Paul Milsep is a glue guy to that on them on the defensive end But Jeremy Grant is such a good player and we saw that in okay See for the past few years and the fact that they got this boy for a bag of chips is crazy to me And he's just been coming off the bench and he's still been pretty good Paul Milsep is older, right? I think Paul Milsep is going like 34 35 years old And maybe you do want to have Jeremy Grant come back and be that started power forward Or maybe we see something in Bowl Bowl or Microported junior in these next couple games and we see that okay We don't need to rely on Paul Milsep as much and let these other guys feel the role But yes, this is actually a difficult decision to make next Choosing the direction I Think the direction is to tank They will have money. So I think that's why they're asking like hey Fred Van Vleet is the most obvious option for the team and they need a point guard But Detroit could also target Galanari possible. Yeah, so they they have the money to to talk to some guys But if I was them Fred Van Vleet is a very good player, but he doesn't make you a playoff team right now And funny is a very good player, but he doesn't make you a playoff team. Detroit Pistons need to just bottom out Get a high traffic this year. Like I said, if the 2021 draft class is deep Hope that you hit there because Detroit's not a place It's gonna sign some big name for agents and signing the guy like Freddie sure it makes you a little bit better But it doesn't make you marginally enough better to So I think war given him my 80 million dollar contract amongst four years. That's that would be my opinion Let's see my high look less second the mouya Grow his players and let them play a bunch of minutes when they suck when the team sucks What to do with TP TPE What the heck is TPE? You could get miles into the weeds discussed the most arm-relistic options yada yada far. We're talking about Yanis There's also a twenty-first round pick to consider both the trade assets. Okay. I got you Yeah, the worries do have to figure this out because yes They can use this first round pick which will probably like a top five pick to draft somebody to just have them play with The Warriors now or you can use it as an asset to get another star Maybe not a star but get another player that helps the team be back into Championship contention if I was the Warriors if I was the Warriors depending on what number pick I end up getting I'd probably try to get like a James Weisman type player Because throughout these entire runs with the Warriors, they never really had like a really good center You can argue that bogey was pretty good for them But you get them say like a really good center and I don't know if James Weisman will ever be that But he has the potential to be a very good center And that's what I would personally do with the pick and I know again You could trade it alongside some other pieces and maybe hit a splash on a on a star that maybe I don't even know Who is even available in the trade market right now for star players that the Warriors would also need? I don't know so I'd use that first round pick and see what the team looks like next year Dan Tony's future and centers. Yeah, then Tony's future is interesting because they didn't pick up the they didn't give him the Extentuous tells me that you're probably won't be the head coach next season I mean, I guess it depends on what this offseason or this playoff run looks like and centers again It is still very curious to me or very weird to me that I know that you want to go small ball But the fact is you really don't have a single center on the roster other than a 37 year old Tyson Chandler It's still a bit weird. It's a little bit weird that you don't have a backup plan in case PJ Tucker goes down Or in case Robert Covington can't guard Yolkich So yeah, they do have to make that decision next Whether to extend the trade Victor Oladipo, we literally talked about this on my podcast today So it's funny that this is a topic here because we know two years ago Victor O'depo was all NBA player all defensive player I'm also improved player. He let the league in steals with 2.4 steals a game But since then of course though 30 something games he played last season. He wasn't amazing. He was good No, you're wrong. He was good But he wasn't all NBA level and then he goes out the quad injury and then he comes back this season He didn't look amazing, but there was glimpses like the last game before the NBA season shut down He put up like 27 seven and four There's glimpses that Victor O'depo could get back to where he is But will he get there is the big question and then if he doesn't get there What do the Indiana Pacers decide to do because he's gonna want his back. Hey two years ago I was the greatest I was one of the greatest players in the league and I know I could get back there So I want a max The Pacers probably don't want to give him a max if he doesn't show that he is back to that level or That he it could stay healthy So I don't if I was the Pacers I do not know and this is definitely a difficult decision to make because there is a world of Victor O'depo comes back And he's get gets back to that all star level place But it's also a more realistic path where he's just good, but he's never great again He's just good and I'm not playing. I'm not paying a good player a max contract So yeah, they have to figure that out next Montrose house for agent value. Yeah true We know Montrose here was one of the better centers in the league a very big piece on what the Clippers are doing this season But they're all gonna be teams out there It's gonna offer Montrose here a lot of money and you have to figure out Hey, is he worth the money that he's getting offered? Do we want to try to do this with them do that with them? So yes, it is a hard decision to make because I absolutely without Montrose here The Clippers team is not as good as they as they will be without them. I mean The The Clippers have like the the best Paint defensive team in the league and you don't really think about that with players like Montrose Harold with Zubats But they have been Montrose here was not looked at to be a defensive juggernaut which he's not But he plays the defensive role very well that they ask him to play so I don't I don't yeah They have to figure that out I would not be surprised of course if Montrose on a different team next season and then how do they replace that type of Value next season Cal is Calcuzma part of the core Yeah, I guess that is a says you have to make I Don't know I think Calcuz is a cool NBA player. I don't know if you'll be anything more than that So if he's just cool is he a part of the core sure you have to make that decision How much to match for the Anthony Melton the Anthony Melton had a very good season this year I'm happy that he actually found a place where he could be decent defensively He was rock solid and offensively he wasn't bad either the 6-2 combo guard length Knows to the ball really pops up on film. Yeah, if you watch the Anthony Melton, you like you could tell that he's usually like The best defender on the court in a lot of situations Fifth highest deflection rate per 36 and elite rebounder for position makes him a fit to go anywhere So how much do you match for him? Because somebody will throw him some money. I'm not saying he get no baggy bag But somebody will throw him some money Miami Heat As if finally Gallo time that'll be interesting again He was close to being traded there the trade that line of something happened that something fell apart But he would fit perfectly in long-side down by the bio. He's what he's definitely a more valuable player than Kelly Olenek and Miles Leonard. So yes, I would say yeah, but then something has to go, right? Okay, he's not just gonna give it to you So you're gonna have to make some trades to make it happen in this situation I'm guessing it'll be like a sign of trade because Godler is also a free agent this year And I don't think the Miami Heat have the money To sign him unless they like Gallo now we go that she would would open some things up a little bit next What's it do if Yanis won't sign? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know the answer today. If Yanis don't want to sign the max Tough next What's Malik Beasley's value? Yes And that's unfortunate the season ended because we didn't get to see Malik Beasley to start a full time And I think that would answer some of these questions What is his worth? He will be a restricted free agent and maybe a team like the the hornets Like I mentioned earlier willing to throw him a decent size bag to try to you know Pry him away from Minnesota, and we just haven't seen it, but the times that he was playing he's playing pretty well He's shooting the ball very efficiently. It's a tie To big game hunt. Is it already time to big game hunt? And I'm guessing that means trying to put together a package to To what are they saying? Flush draft assets Okay, all right, I Think it's still too early first. I think it's still too early to try to do some things. I think it is I think it is Let's just Let's just see how they jail together because we still haven't seen bread and Ingram and Zion jail will next The point guard question Nick's do not make the trade for Chris Paul. I'm telling you it does not get you over the hump as good as Chris Paul is it does not get you over the hump That's what I would say if anything. Yeah, if you want to get for a leave the contract sure that that's a that makes a little bit better It's not again It won't get you over the hump at least you have a younger player and not as big of a contract as a 40 million dollars That Chris Paul we make in every single season write it back or blow it up I read a report that people are or speculating the okc will blow it up They already have a ton of draft picks Chris Paul is gonna have Some value to some teams maybe Galinari again, Stephen that I would say running back because you also already have these picks attached So let's just let's just bring it back and let's grow that way and I'm saying that because I like watching okc playing I don't want to see that team break up. What's it do when Eric Gorda? We've been talking about this for three seasons now if they decided now. I don't know if they have a wheel Whether to adjust the core another situation where we talk about all the time should they trade Joe else They train Ben Simmons because they don't really fit together. Yeah, I don't think they make that decision this offseason Whether to renounce their own free agents Okay, and who are these free agent we're talking about renounce in the rights of Aaron Baynes Darryl Sards Check the all low of Frank Kaminsky. They go below 25 million a spending room where he could spend money for some some players That could help the team now Don't renounce their rights on Aaron Bayes now is a nest is a change necessary. I Don't yeah, these are getting tougher and tougher How high do you go on by Donovitz because he's restricted for agent and he's gonna get some offers? Are we ready? Yes. Yes. Are we ready for this in? Yes. Yes. Let's revert I'm sorry spurs fans. It's time to to do what a lot of teams end up doing and hit the reset Yeah, because this this Core hasn't been able to make it work. So yes, I would say it is time to end it especially considering there They're not getting any younger One more year Yes Will be my answer to that. Yes, but they do have big decisions because Marcus all Fred Van Vleet surgery Baca Oh, actually they have a lot of free agents coming up So even if they don't if even if they do want to run it back Who know Freddie may take his bag somewhere else or Marcus all may take a bag somewhere else So I don't think it's the front the front office does have a say obviously, but it's not solely based on them Whether to extend or trade really go bear it's something I've talked about here before Because really go bear is obviously a super valuable NBA player But do you want to give a guy like really go bear a super match? Which he's he's eligible for super max because he was an all NBA player last season I would not give really go bear to super max and he is my favorite center in the league He's just I don't see him as a super max player and Whether to Reconsider a Bradley Beale trade. I wouldn't do that. Just yet. I would see how good John wall comes back with him Who he got you more hopefully to bring back Davids Bertans I think the wizards if they keep the players they have now when we add John wall I think they have a chance to be back in the playoffs next season That's cool. It's a cool article Grant. Okay. I'll get you down I'll give you that if you enjoyed it leave it a like if you knew subscribe. I'll be back. Peace
