 What's the word y'all welcome back to Kenny for real when we talk about basketball and specifically in today's video We're talking about trades. It's been a week since the season has wrapped up And I am ready to get to the off-season trades signings Draftic all of that. I'm ready for and of course we do a lot of these reacted to articles today's article is blockbuster NBA trades that actually make sense and I'm super excited about it because Historically when we react to these articles, this is not something that uh It's true that actually makes sense. So I'm curious about it. I sat out to Grant Hughes I must say this if I disagree with every single trade that goes on in here This is not an attack on him or bleach report or whatever because as we know creating trades It's hard like in real life even in real life like we see a trade happen And we immediately be like whoa this team got finesse this team came out on top and even long term We kind of see that so putting together a trade that makes sense for both teams on paper is hard I admire anybody that takes the time to try to do that But once you put it out you're opening up the discussion. That's what we're doing in today's video I see Russell Westbrook as a cover athlete for this and it makes sense Well, everything is going on with the Houston Rockets right now It would make sense that he's gonna be in a ton in a ton of rumors this offseason I don't know if he actually gets traded But you're gonna see his name associated with every single team because a he's still a very good NBA player and be the Houston Rockets Don't have a general manager or I guess they promoted somebody but you get I'm saying they just lost their general manager They still don't have a coach They're capped out. No future assets. So a guy like Russell Westbrook Makes sense for him to be in trade rumors So I'm interested what type of trades they put together for Brody and all of that against out to Grant Hughes If you knew around here subscribe and leave a like on the video This is the internet's biggest general manager. Does that make sense? No, it doesn't let's get into it, man Let's get into it There are only five trades. Okay, that makes sense I guess I mean if it's gonna be blockbuster trades that makes sense We can't expect 30 trades because 30 trades won't make sense. You feel me? So I'm walking the Denver Nuggets shirt. I didn't know that the Denver Nuggets gonna be associated in this article Let's see what they get they acquire Bradley Biel Oh, and they go out and give up Michael Porter, Jr. Gary here It's a 20 second overall pick in this year's draft and the top 10 protective for 2022 Okay, let's attack this from both sides to watch the Wizards have expressed many many times They have no interest in trading Bradley Biel Bradley Biel literally came out like a couple days ago It was like he wants to spend his entire career in Washington Now I'm not saying just because he says that means it's true We've seen players say things like that before Carrie Irvin said that he wanted to stay and then like that He was he was bolting. So yes, this is something that players say all together But I honestly do believe Bradley Biel when he says that he signed a couple year extension Which I think is interesting and then they it doesn't make sense for them to trade Bradley Biel at this moment I think they want to see what John Wall looks like if you do not remember I know it's been two seasons, but John Wall was a very very good basketball player two years ago It's been like it's been two years and I bet they want to see what this new John Wall looks like Associated with this new Bradley Biel because the last time they played together. Yes, they were a good duo But Bradley Biel is on a whole new level now a whole new level now and John Wall is out in interviews Saying that he's a hundred and ten a hundred for 20 cent healthy I Think that they would wait and see what that looks like their backcourt looks like at least for a couple months or so Before they start trading away their pieces and again, they've already said that they don't want to trade Bradley Biel and it makes sense I think he's 26 years old and He still has a lot of time left. He's only getting better, but for the Denver Nuggets. I would like to straight now understand Some different nuggets players or not players, but fans be like we don't want to give up Michael Porter, Jr.. Was makes sense Jordan where do Michael Jordan say the ceiling is the roof the stupid old saying the ceiling is the roof for Michael Porter, Jr.. He has amazing potential as a 6-10 guy that could come up and just shoot a shot in your face Very Kevin the rent like in that aspect But the thing that still scares me about Michael Porter, Jr.. Is that backman a man had two back surgeries before the age of 19 That is scary stuff for me personally I still do believe that Michael Porter, Jr.. Have a very good NBA career But for a team like the different nuggets that were in the conference finals Maybe a trait like this where you're trying to get another star player It's okay if you're giving up that future guy and Michael Porter, Jr.. Because Bradley Biel on the different nuggets is a dangerous dangerous team The given up Gary Harris who you've seen that like your team could be fine without Gary Harris Amy's got a big old contract and those future assets a 20-second overall pick in a top to protect it first Not that bad if you're getting back Bradley Biel But again what I'm saying is that the different nuggets probably don't trade Bradley Biel right now not for this package But I understand the idea does it actually make sense? kind of Trait number two happy holidays Indiana Pacers acquire drew holiday from the Pelicans for Miles Turner and either Doug McDermott or Jeremy Lamb in a 2021 second round pick I like to say or Jeremy Lambs coming off that Achilles was it Achilles? He's coming off a season in the injury So we don't know what he'll look like we know for sure Doug McDermott is gonna shoot the skin off of the ball Now this is very interesting. Um, you get all the holiday brothers together in Indiana I do like the idea of having Miles Turner for a Zion Williamson When a side Derek favors I was kind of confused not the Derek favors is bad or anything But I do believe that either the future for Zion Williamson looks like he's playing small ball center for a lineup Or you need a center alongside them that will stretch the floor and of course Miles Turner is that I Does this does this mention Victor Lodipo at all because that that really okay keep in mind the Victor Lodipo hence It's a 20 20 20 21 on an expiring deal So as of right now, they're saying that these guys will be together because Victor Lodipo still there for the end of the season Okay, a Jew holiday still a very good NBA player every time I've here in me another NBA player talk about Jew holiday They mentioned how like he is the best defender league Kevin Arran said that JJ Redick has said that Just so many players have come out say like Jew holiday is the guy that you don't want to go against every single night And for the Indiana Pacers, they could use something like that even though they do have tenacious defenders on a perimeter already I don't know every time the Indiana Pacers name come up in a trade I openly expressed to y'all that I don't know what makes sense for the Pacers at this moment We they still don't have a coach and I don't know what direction really makes sense with Victor Lodipo with Miles Turner Well, do you open a game up for some bonus allow him around full-time center? Because I think that's what this trade is really doing allowing some bonus to run full-time center So anytime the Indiana Pacers are in a trade. I just tell you I don't know Because I really don't Pacers fans. I'll be looking for y'all in the comment section and I don't be seeing y'all comment Well, what would you think about a trade like this? Because as of right now I'm gonna talk this up as that I ain't complete because personally I do not know what the future of the Indiana Pacers should look like I don't know because a trade like this Any other Pacers continue to be a playoff team. There's one thing the Indiana Pacers are gonna do They will be a playoff team. They will be But this doesn't raise the ceiling much higher than that Adding drew holiday for that roster is not gonna make them a championship contender, right? I don't know But for the Pelican side if you're going to trade you holiday, which which I'm pretty sure you probably you're looking to He's like 30 something years old this point and you're going to the place where you're trying to acquire pieces that really fiddled around Zion I don't think this would be a bad package for drew holiday next The calves finally start over Kevin. Wait, wait Wait The cast finally start over the Cavaliers require Lamarcus and Keldon Johnson and the Spurs get Kevin Love These are two teams that should be trying to stay away from from long-term contracts and things like that. What do the Spurs Get out of a trade like this. They're giving up Keldon Johnson. I think that Spurs fans really like Keldon Johnson I think his future is bright, too. I do not like this trade whatsoever I think the Spurs are a team that should be like, okay Yeah, maybe we do trade Lamarcus and if DeMar deRose and resize or take that extension We look for a sign. It's right opportunity I think the Spurs the streak is over the 20-year playoff streak is over and let's really go in with Dijonté Murray with Lani Walker with Keldon Johnson and Derrick White and whoever it may be Let's just hit that reset button and the trade like this doesn't do anything Sure, it'll put you back in playoff contention But what's the what's the value in that at this point when you don't have a Bonafide star in the making you know I'm saying like we're gonna compete for a playoff spot It makes sense for the for the Phoenix Suns to do that because they're trying to build something with Aiden and Devin Booker Right now you don't have that solidify like future star piece And I do think Dijonté has a very bright future, but I don't know if he's a future all-star. I don't like this trade doesn't make sense That obviously the Cavs need to get love contract off the books It's a bad deal for them even over the okay of the San Antonio Spurs We're better than the Cavs this past season. That's not really saying that much and they're young I don't really tell me. I don't really like this one the Bucks quit messing around. We got a three-team trade These are harder to do The Bucks give VO and Robert Covington. I don't know what they're giving up already But but that that package in return count me in the Pacers get EB and their own first-round pick back from Milwaukee The Houston Rockets Get that get Dante DeVincenzo Ursa Ilya Sovere a first-round pick from the Bucks in 2021 and a 2023 first-round pick for Milwaukee This is an easy trade to do Right. I think it's an easy trade to do Those two first-round picks are kind of iffy, especially if you don't know for sure if Yanis is gonna resign It's two first-round picks are iffy, but as far as like Santa Yanis hey We're here to build you a championship roster Vico depot helps that and Robert Covington is a guy that just every team would love to have he really is Small for a power for it can can run all of those defense very well We saw that he can run some center, I guess But you got Yanis so you don't need a center because Yanis can run a center and you still have brick Lopez Who gets the best right now pieces in this trade is for sure the Milwaukee Bucks But I think that they'd be kind of hesitant to trade away two first-round picks unless there unless Yanis sees this trade And be like okay, I'll sign that super max that you don't care about those first-round picks because you got Yanis for the next Five years and that means you're probably gonna be a playoff team for five years straight Andy you traded Victor Oledipo get it back EB and your pig back from this year Cool that's number 24, so it's not that much But a VO is expressing that he wants to get traded get an Eric Bledsoe in return Keeps you again to a playoff take but against the Indiana Pacers. I don't really know Houston Rockets. This is like hey, man We're trying to get some future assets because we don't really have many and traded Robert Covington and get him back To first-round picks even though they might be late first-round picks They're still picks and get it back dancing even chenzo who's a younger player in Ursa Eliasova if your goal This to trade Robert Covington. I don't think this is a bad I don't think this is a bad return for it. It may lower your ceiling a little bit further now Because of course Robert Covington was a big portion of what the Houston Rockets were trying to do this season This is this is not a terrible trade if Yanis will sign the super max It's not if we don't know if Yanis is signing a super max. I'm not if I may walk you I'm sorry I'm not giving them two first-round picks because if Yanis walks We're in the lottery again, and those picks are way more valuable than the late 20s Being out of paces again, like I mentioned last straight I don't really know what to think about the inanna Pacers. I don't hate this trade. I do not hate this trade I think this trade would be very very interesting Very interesting. I don't think Rockets fans will love this trade But it is what it is and lastly speaking of the Rockets the Rockets in the next go nuclear. Okay The Rockets acquire RJ Frankie smokes Frankie, Nila Kena the eighth pick and The 27th pick for Russell Westbrook Okay That actually makes sense. Okay. I don't think this makes sense I can I'm just gonna say that right now. I don't think this makes sense again Like I said Brody's name is gonna be a lot of trade trade packages this off season. It's just the way it is Honestly The next time I've not been good for seven years So I'm sure there are some nicks fans that will look at this and be like sure let's do it because Russell Westbrook is still good enough To make your team a playoff contender But next fans I will say do not jump the gun on a trade like this This is all the future assets except for Mitchell Robinson all of them I'm not trading RJ my top three from last year who may not look great last year But he's still what what is he 19 20 now? I'm not giving up on RJ I'm not giving up on the eighth overall pick and another first rounder for aging point guard again Russell Westbrook is still very good. He's still bit very good, but what are you gonna surround him with? Damian Dotson Wayne Ellison coming back Todd Gibson You're not giving up all those future assets and panicking and getting the guy that again will get you to the point Where hey, he's he would be looking he would be fun to watch in the Mecca for sure But you don't give up these future assets for how does rest of us with this point 32? 32 Still good, but I'm not straight in that my all of my future assets except for one for 32 euro point guard And I don't have pieces around him You do this trade if you still have one or two three pieces around him Maybe but you really wouldn't have nothing Russell Westbrook is kicking it out to Kevin ox for a night guy like come on, bro I don't I don't think this trade makes sense for New York. I Think the Houston Rockets It probably don't even make sense for them either I Mean this is like if your direction is to blow it up sure But if you're if you're still trying to build a team around James Harden who at this point is what 30 as well I Don't think this trade makes sense. I don't think this trade makes sense Barrett is still young enough. I Think am I D? Am I undervaluing Russell Westbrook or is he overvaluing val val ring overvaluing Russell Westbrook? The value on Russell Westbrook might be right. It's the team that doesn't make sense Maybe I don't know what it is. It's just about something about this trade I do not it does not make sense to me. Maybe it's all of it Maybe he's overvaluing Russell Westbrook at as an aging point guard The next don't make sense because they don't really have anything else other than everything to trade it away. I Don't like this train. Does this train make sense? No, so out of all of these trades I think that may be two of them. There may be three out of the five make sense On a surface level, let me know what you think about all these trades. I don't know these are always fun No, South to Grand Hew's again Houston Rockets fans Houston Rockets fans and Nick's fans y'all are the biggest ones I'm asking for a trade number five and the Indiana Pacer fans I guess for trade number two and trade number four because y'all are in every trade because vo is this out there Let me know peace
