 What's the word y'all welcome back to Kenny for real we talk exclusively about basketball We got an article that was published yesterday talking about free agency one realistic signing for every team should be interesting Our frenzy is such a big part and team building and this is a year with a frenzy class It's kind of lackluster in comparison to some of the other ones And I think there's only like four teams with cap space this season But you may see like smaller named guys that can help a team become a contender just by being backman in a Rotation type things and who knows it's a bleacher part article So it could be some wild stuff in here. I don't really know leave it like subscribe if you knew shout out to Greg Schwartz again For another article. Let's get into it. Dwight Howard is a cover athlete by the way good season Let's see what they have him going because he may be on a move like his fans. I'm sorry to say that The first one is the Atlanta Hawks getting Gordon George. It was makes sense. The Atlanta Hawks lacked Playmaking when Trey young was off the floor They had a lot of minutes where Brandon Goodwin was the backup point guard And if you look at those numbers when Trey young was on the bench The team is dreadful ridiculously bad and then when he came into the game Obviously things got a lot better and they tried to address that issue throughout the season where they traded for Jeff T Bringing them back to Atlanta, but he's also a free agent and Gordon George. It gets better at the end of the day But he is coming off an injury and he is 34 years old in this ideal role. He'd be a sixth man But I've heard around a league Which makes it seem like I have sources I promise you I don't have sources But I'm reading other articles of people that do have sources thinking that Gordon George will come back to Miami on Like a one-year 16 million dollar contract something related to that was like one year, but a big bag But the way the Atlanta Hawks could potentially pry him away would be like Hey, here's a two-year deal or three-year deal for the 34 year old because I feel like a lot of players will take the Longevity stability over the one-year big bag. You feel me? Especially a guy that's coming off an injury from this NBA finals So I like the signing he would add some scoring and some playmaking off the bench for the Atlanta Hawks And they desperately need that in his rumors about them Trying to trade their sixth overall pick to become content No will come playoff contenders and signing orange logic will help you be a playoff contender We're going to just really good. Then we have Paul Milsep with the Boston Celtics This will make sense that maybe he's not back in Denver They have a couple power forwards and Jeremy granted. They're probably prioritized and then Michael Porter jr. Planned some power for position that they probably want to try to develop over him Because they probably fit the timeline a little bit more but the timeline is now, right? They were just in the conference finals. So the timeline is now at the moment but let's see what they have they have starting power forward slash six man for the Boston Celtics and They would have to like get him for the low low because we know they go and hey We're just bringing is coming back with that 30 plus million dollar option So they'd have to convince him to come to Boston for the cheap and maybe that's what he wants to do I can't say it'd be him going to a contender because he was just on a team I was also in the conference finals So I don't know how you convince him to come back or come to Boston instead of staying in Denver And maybe it's just that Denver don't want to bring it back. I don't really know next We have Marquis Moore through the Brooklyn Nets. Sure. These are this is what I'm talking about like the Marquis Moore signing for the Brooklyn Nets It's not gonna be significant. Sure. He's gonna play some playoff minutes for you But it's not enough to be this is why I'm gonna pick the Brooklyn Nets over any other team They'll be okay signing I guess and it will be cheap next we have yeah Yeah, they should definitely go after Christian Wood now the real scary thing about Christian Wood for me personally Is I'm not completely sure of what we saw after the drumming trade is real and that's like the gamble You're gonna have to take right he looked amazing after drumming was traded But he played for the team that was like the worst in a league somebody had to score buckets Christian What was that guy? But the bright side is it and it was like he shot like 37% on picking pop 3s And then he was dominant down low and like 60 something percent. So like he is good Don't get me wrong, but it's just like how good For the Charlotte Hornets, that's a gamble you should be willing to take at 25 years old You don't have a center in because you got Cody Zella and Bayes Mac Bionbo and maybe you signed him instead of Potentially getting James Weisman. I don't know I would take this gamble 100% if I'm the Charlotte Hornets Depending on what the pay would say I think Christian Wood is really good But it is an option. There's a chance that maybe he's not amazing as good as he was because like come on He averaged 22 9 and a half and two those are magnificent numbers, but it's only 12 stars smaller sample size. I Would take the gamble if I'm the Charlotte Hornets The Bulls Neural is no well. That's a that's a surprise I think that our center on Moondale Carter is amazing I do I do believe that he's about to have a breakout season at least I'm hoping as a fan But I do also really like Daniel Gaffer. He brings energy. He brings defense. He brings black and shots It's like that. I'll be okay with our center rotation. I think the Bulls should be targeting Perimeter wing players because we can't keep our wings healthy out of Porter Chandler Hudson miss significant amount of time I think that our ideal Signing is a guy that can run some wing for us personally No, there's no way I'll sure that would be cool and all because he's probably better than Daniel Gaffer at this point in their careers But I think the Bulls should be prioritized a wing depth over anything else this offseason They've got the Cleveland Cavaliers and Harry Giles sure another situation where you taking a stab and a shot in the dark on a guy with promising Features about him remember Harry Giles is like one of the top players in his class You know before he got injured in college right or at the end of his senior season He got injured and then he started to fall off a little bit But there's peers of time where he's in a game and he looks really good and the Cavaliers What else do you have? You know I'm saying and the drumming coming back probably having Harry Giles in a roster plan Back up minutes would be good. He's only 22 years old drumming after this season could be gone and then boom Maybe Harry Giles you're starting center of the future. I would take that gamble I don't know what it will be for but I would take that gamble and see what he turns into next Talus Mavis, Avery Bradley's it really would be a really good pick up for them Unfortunately, we haven't seen Avery Bradley play in a minute because he didn't go to the bubble But a guy that plays great perimeter defense a lot of players that I've talked to give Avery Bradley the credit of like He was one of the hardest players to score on in the league So that's really good And of course he hits his shots as well 3 and D is exactly what Luca needs throughout a course of his career And it could be Avery Bradley. I like that. I like that. Then we have Marcus Morris to the Denver Nuggets Okay, so that's very interesting to me I thought that they were under the impression that we're gonna let Michael Porter Jr We're gonna let bring back Jeremy Grant and let them be our power for but they're saying now Let's bring in Marcus Morris to play power forward as well Marcus Morris a good NBA player before he got traded to the Clippers He was averaging ridiculous numbers like 20 points per game with the Knicks But he was doing it very efficiently and then he got to the Clippers and I felt like he struggled to find his role throughout the course of the year and Unfortunately with the season being pause and everything he didn't have time to really find his role He's obviously a very good NBA player. I don't know what I would I like him in Denver. I Don't know. I don't know Montrez hero for the Detroit Pestors I've seen this a lot between the Detroit Pestors trying to get Freve and Bleat or they're trying to get Montrez hero Because they are one of the teams with some cap spaces offseason, but like why? Legitimately why I feel like this would be a team that should be trying to shoot towards the lottery the next couple seasons That's what I think as an outside fan But this this will be weird to see him in Detroit and playing with Blake and I guess dear girls They're saying that they want to try to keep competing, but realistically speaking They shouldn't be trying to do such things free dare grows Erin Banes with the Warriors. Let's do it man. I already see the Warriors as a team That's gonna be really good this season They are lacking a little bit when it comes to the death and Aaron Banes would come in and instantly be the best player on the team Okay, he'd be the best big man on the roster. How about we go? I can go that far right now best way on the team next we have Jeremy Graham to Houston Rockets Now that is a match made in heaven an absolute match made in heaven, but how Houston is capped out hard capped out Jeremy Grant is gonna be a player that is gonna get a lot of offers He showed he can be the last couple years now. I don't I don't think the Houston Rockets They would have to do some finagling to make this an opportunity. I don't see this happening But but how he doesn't give you a way to do it. I think that's important The article says realistic, so he believes there is a way but like off the top of my head I don't see that way being realistic. Jeremy Grant is a guy that will get a lot of offers He would fit perfectly in Houston But I don't know if they would be able to do that And he had a patience Isaiah Thomas bring them in Isaiah Thomas deserves another shot He said that he's done with the injuries the hip is look amazing. It feels amazing. He had a surgery I want to see Isaiah Thomas back on the NBA team. Even if that means it's on Indiana I don't think any he is the Indiana type player for sure. He's not they've had this like prototype of players They've had throughout the course of their their Last 15 or so years Isaiah Thomas doesn't fit that but I would love to see it bring Isaiah Thomas to a team W next The Clippers and Tristan Thompson. I mean they're gonna lose out a Montres hero free agency That's that's probably a given and bringing in a guy that's similar to Montres Herald and in size and in an energy Tristan Thompson great rebounder defense is really good I wonder what the market is for a guy like Tristan Thompson You know I'm saying that that he's one of the interesting players of free agency this offseason And if they have him going to the Clippers, I'm guessing that means his his market ain't great Because the Clippers ain't really got the bag to be throwing Interesting interesting the Lakers Carmelo sure sure I the reason why this is cool is because There's no such thing as at the end of the day on the surface level it's hard to say like oh This is gonna be a bad signing. This is gonna be a great signing It's just fun to see the potential having Carmelo Anthony with LeBron will be interesting at the end of the day I mean we've seen him team up before and Team USA things when they were younger in all-star games when they were younger It will be cool to see him together, but I think that that mellow wants to stay in Portland that at least that's the vibe I'm getting off from from him in the Portland Trailblazers, but sure. He's 36 shout out to mellow, man Memphis Rijon Rondo backup point guard So that backup unit would look something like the Anthony Melton and in Rondo in the backcourt. I Rondo is gonna is gonna get an offer or two or maybe more than that from different teams because of his play Throughout the playoffs and how good he was in this 34 year old season for sure I don't know if Memphis is the right place I think that Rondo will probably try to go to another team with contending in mind But shout to Rondo man. He's probably gonna get some money I think if I'm not mistaken he signed to the Lakers for like the minimum So this season's probably gonna get more than that after his play which is great And if Memphis is the place I don't know but out him as a mentor to John Moran would be interesting it definitely will be interesting and I'd like that from that aspect alone as a mentor for John Moran W Oh, that's I think that's what it's saying here. Rondo be perfect in Memphis Which is playoff aspiration presumably wants to be a veteran point guard from John Moran to study W DeMar DeRosa for the Miami This is probably like a sign-and-trade situation Yeah, when you have like Kelly Olenek, and then I think you still got like Myers Leonard's contract So this is definitely sign-and-trade opportunity unless you're saying DeMar DeRosa is gonna turn down that player option and come in For the Lolo for the Miami Heat. He's making twenty seven point seven million dollars Him as a fit. Okay, it's guys Jimmy Butler Tyler hero DeMar DeRosa, Duncan Robinson, and bam She's a positionless basketball for sure. That's four guards That's four guards and bam, I don't buy you. Um, they'll make them better for sure that DeMar DeRosa and In Jimmy Butler, there's like some overlap there that I don't like as far as like hey heavy isolation players DeMar DeRosa had one of the most efficient isolation seasons from what I've heard this last year I haven't looked at the numbers myself, but I heard if I'm a reliable source I think there's a little bit of overlap there between him and Jimmy Butler as far as like not a great perimeter shooter Sure, you're surrounding them a great perimeter shooting and Tyler here row and Duncan Robinson But three out of your five starters aren't reliable from behind the arc I mean, yes, it's good to get another name and DeMar DeRosa But I think the fit will be a little bit weird personally Then we have Joe Harris with the uh, I think Milwaukee I think Joe Harris is gonna be a guy to get some money man. Joe Harris is a lethal lethal shooter But he would fit perfectly with Yanis and all of those things I mean you talking about a guy that could just get the get the ball and shoot it No matter where he's at on the court and splash that thing j crowder for the Timberwolves They need that versatility at the four alongside um, carthony towns j crowder From a espn video I watched the other day was one of the least sufficient corner three-point shooters in the regular Season and got to the bubble and was the most efficient corner three-point shooter gritty Um, not gonna take any other stuff from opposing teams knocked down his shots plays good defense He would work perfectly with the Minnesota Timberwolves. I think next Surgeon the pelicans. Okay. I'm gonna just keep saying this But this is a match but every time I hear the name surgeon the pelicans I think w stress the floor great defender alongside Zion and all the things you want from a guy alongside Zion Sergio Baca brings that and he's coming off basically his best season as an NBA pro I would love this signing. I would love this signing for them And and I believe that Stan Van Gundy would have him looking nice Derek Jones Jr. For the Knicks Sure, why not the Knicks just have one of those teams that potentially have money depending on what they do with those options on On some of their players, um, there's Jones jr. Young player. He come into the team and get significant minutes on the team I mean, he was just played for a team where he didn't get that many minutes It's only 23 years old. He's getting better every single season. Sure. Why not take that shot? Um, Malik Beasley for okc thunder. I just got the notification about Malik Beasley going through some stuff and Maybe he's not gonna be a free agent signing. So I'll skip it. Uh next Jordan Clarkson for the Orlando magic Don't they already have that in Terrence Ross or is Terrence Ross a free agent? I just don't know. I think Terrence Ross is not a free agent Don't they already have just like good bench scoring right now from a guard position Imagine a team of Terrence Ross and Jordan Clarkson and court together. They're gonna be fighting over the ball I think Orlando should be going the opposite direction. Jeff Teague for the 76ers. Sure Bring in some playmaking one thing they were missing man when um, when Ben Simmons without this injury He was like, okay, who's gonna be the playmaker and I think the first game it was Tobias Harris at put up like eight assists It like I I mean, that's cool But like not a playmaker. Jeff Teague can be that guy Even though throughout the course of his career There's been some seizes where he just doesn't like to play make it seems like But backup point guard position is something they desperately need and a cheap backup option could be Jeff Teague for sure Any any could be a player that helps. I'm interested in the Philly team I might make a video tomorrow about Philly because they're doing some crazy things in the in the front office and the coaching staff And it's just like every single season. They're one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA It's just it's part of them now. Davis Bertens with the Sun. Sheesh. That would be nasty Um, I do like the I love the lineup of mckell bridges and cam johnson starting personally Um, adab is Bertens a laffy and laser. He ain't get that nickname from from for nothing Literally a laser from all the points in the course of the court Just crazy crazy three point shooter Gala gnarly now gala gnarly isn't one of the most interesting free agents I also was thinking about putting together a video of like my top five most interesting free agents And maybe I'll still do that and spoiler alert And it's not just based on overall talent But I think gala gnarly is the most interesting free agent this off season because he has said in the interview They're like I've got basically he said I've got the back dog my my NBA career I'm willing to take less to go to a contender And I'm like word. Okay, but how much less are we talking gala gnarly? How much less are we talking? Are we talking about you getting the mid-level exception for some team and going to try to win a championship? Or or a little bit more than that If it's mid-level exception situation gali gala gnarly can go to so many different teams and be like The x-factor the reason to put them over the hump because gala gnarly is that good of an NBA player So maybe that video will come out soon. Um Gala gnarly is probably going to be number one number two on my list And him and portland will bring another dynamic something they've been missing that third option In portland for the last five years or so Um and gala gnarly would come in and instantly be that it would nirkage and then I guess wrightney hood is still the guy. I don't know who's at the three nowadays Um instantly become a better team than the team that they were this year Derek favors with sacramental kings. I mean, I guess so I don't have an opinion on the sacramental kings. Then we have by donovitz with the spurs Yes, they do love their their foreign-born players. That is a fact But everything I've read is that the kings are a hell bent on matching every any and everything that has to do with By gnanovitz especially because buddy here wants out the raptors bringing freddy back Um shout to fred van vleet bet on yourself Whether it costs them 15 20 or 25 million per year the raptors need to keep fred van vleet in town I feel that way as well. Um, especially if they want to continue to compete and that's I think that is their goal Um freddy is a a crucial crucial part to this team success and lose and them would hurt them badly Now for a team like that. Do you want to invest potentially 25 million in him is as as I don't know But if their goal is to potentially continue to compete, maybe you do especially yeah I said right here were cow lorry entering his final years of his contract This could be your starting schoon guard and potentially going to your starting point guard once freddy is off the books And um, not freddy, but cowl is off the books utah and the white howard They had like ed davis and tony brally playing back up senator season and both of them were like kind of bad And the white howard was kind of good this year Then lastly hassan white side for the watch the wizards another intriguing team because I believe that brally bill and john wallin Come back and look amazing together. I'm not saying john wallin individually. He's going to look amazing But together they will look good. Thomas bryant has potential offensively, but defensively his feet don't move at all He's just kind of there defensively and hassan white side say what you want about him. He can protect the paint He can How do they do this because john wall has a super max contract and brally bill has a max contract and I don't know how they make it work financially. I wish he would have gave us like This is what he was signed for to make it realistic, but he didn't really do that Um, good article. Greg. Good article. Greg.
