 What's the word, y'all? I was about to say the off-season is all but over, but that's cap. Just four to eight hours ago, we got some more Kevin DeRet news for 95% of NBA teams, the off-season is over, which means that we can start looking at rosters and trying to figure out if people had successful off-seasons. Because listen, no team is perfect, even the goal to save words, a team that won could improve in different areas. So, Bleach Report put together an article, has every NBA team fixed its biggest weakness, this off-season? We're gonna see if we agree and disagree or what they determine the weaknesses for these organizations and see if we agree or disagree on whether or not they filled those roles. And I know you see me sport in one of the new enjoy basketball drops very, very soon. This is just one of the pieces. There are a lot of pieces in this drop. This is one of the pieces. And if you wanna know more about what's in this drop, we're doing a sneak peek over there in the newsletter. So hit that link in the description and subscribe if you haven't already. Be sure to open up the newsletter if you are already subscribed and we're doing these VIP boxes. We've sent it out to some of my NBA friends and the people I know in the world. And we got some for y'all as well, but we can only give them out to people on the newsletter. So if you want a VIP box that's gonna have a plethora of things from this drop, hit that link in the description, man. W promo read if you ask me. Seriously though, I just got my own package in of this new enjoy basketball drop. Issy Lee, you do not wanna miss out. Just know what's coming up and if you want more information, the newsletter is the way. All right, are we ready for this? Shout to Greg over at Bleach Your Port. Let's see what they talking about with the Atlanta Hawks first. He said that their biggest weakness was their wing defense. And I think I can somewhat agree with that. In this off season, they added Dejante Murray, who's the youngest all defensive player of all time if I'm not mistaken. Gar, Gar, I think Gar. So now I'm mistaken. Tim Duncan did that very early on, but Tim Duncan, I'm gonna go with Gar without fact checking nothing. Also brought in the holiday brother. Isn't that DNA? If your last name is holiday, more likely than not you're gonna be a plus defender. Now Aaron is a little bit smaller than the other one. So it's harder to be a plus defender at that size, but he gives us all, but that holiday blood, they preach defense in the household and they got that he's as consistent as a lot of people. And the AJ Griffin, I don't know how much PT he'll get as a rookie, but everybody knows one of his things was defense. Actually, I don't know if that's true. I didn't watch him in college, but I can see finished in 26, 26 is kind of wild for where they were just last season. Anyway, they needed improvements on the wing. Of course, there's some chemistry stuff and now they got N'Jontay Murray. Who's a menace as we've seen this off season. So according to Greg, yes, they fixed those problems. The Boston Celtics, one of my guests in the Boston Celtics biggest hole was, that's, we talking about a team that just made a finals run. I think that maybe it is somebody to put more pressure on the rim. And I would say you did that with getting Malcolm Brogdon. Cause one thing I found out is some researchers, Malcolm Brogdon was like fifth in the league at finishing amongst like qualified people. He's like fifth. And I didn't really look at him as like an elite level finisher, but he was like that. Let's see what he says, backup big. Okay, I can see that as well. I think this only matters in the regular season. You know what I'm saying? Because when Rob is in foul trouble, injured or needs his breathers, that's when Al is there and vice versa. But in the regular season, yeah, you probably want a third string slash another big. That's where you get the Daniel Tyson's of the world. To just soak up some minutes. Once we get to the post season, I don't think it really matters because we saw that you can have Al be the five or Rob be the five. But he says something right here that I guess I agree with. You just don't want to add more things to Al Horford's workload. So adding another big would have helped. But it's that they got Galanari who doesn't really become a five unless he's a small ball five, which I guess we have seen a little bit in his career, but not a ton, not enough for me to feel confident that he can do that. The Brooklyn Nets are next. They got too many problems for me to even guess. What did they say in rim protection? Okay, I can't say that they fixed that then. There's always a fly. I can't say that they fixed that because you're looking at Nicholas Klaxon as the fix. You can't say you fixed the problem by bringing back a guy that was on the team when the problem existed. You know what I'm saying? So they got other stuff to worry about. This is the least of their worries. Charlotte, any center play in general? Rim protection, they got Mark Williams and he says this should be the fix because Williams was an all-world rim protector in college. We'll see if that is true. Chicago, I'm guessing. I can see the picture of Drummond. They're gonna talk about just defense at the rim, just having somebody that can prevent other teams from laying the ball up every possession. And that is exactly what they're saying, rim protection. And I mean, I don't really know. He's one of the better backup centers in all of basketball, but I don't look at Andrew Drummond as a deterrence at the rim for other teams. He does a lot of things really solid, but I'm not looking at him as the savior of Chicago Bulls rim protection defense. He's definitely a step up, at least on the second unit that we've had in preview in the last season between Tony Bradley or Derek Jones Jr., playing back up five. He's an upgrade there, but he doesn't fit the overall problem. And that's what they're saying. Not really. He better defended the boots, but he's not plus. What are we saying for Cleveland Cavaliers? I would guess that, okay, let's just tell me. Wing depth, and they got O.T. Abadje, O.T. Abadje? Dang. I gotta watch him play one more game of basketball and I'll know his name. And they're saying, yes, it was fixed because he actually wasn't too bad. When I saw in Summer League and he projects to be a good shooter and stuff, we talked about it on my episode when I was bringing the chase down pot to talk about Cavaliers. We talked about him and his ability to knock down shots and also defend, because knocking down shots is something they need. They had a lot of eyes, Gokoro doesn't really do that. O.T. Che can potentially do it. Next we have Dallas. They're saying, okay, a second option and you got that, or no! This team needed to add to the Donchich Brunson combo, not lose one of the... Okay, I didn't look at it from that perspective. I cannot say I disagree. I think this team looks a lot better and has another chance to go to the Conference Finals. If J. LeBrunson is there, I don't like their chances now that J. LeBrunson is gone. You have these other teams that are going to be healthy between Denver and the Clippers and stuff like that. Losing J. LeBrunson is gonna hurt. And I know you try to cover the band aid a little bit by saying that we have Christian Wood, who's good, but you're losing a lot. And what made your team pretty solid last season with that secondary ball handler that just adds a different amount of pressure to the rim as Luke. And Luke already puts a lot of pressure on the rim. Just having another guy to do that and you kind of taking that away by allowing him to go to New York. So I understand them saying no, but I also do like the Christian Wood acquisition. It's like, I don't know, but I think Denver was just gonna be solid by being healthy. What are they saying? They are saying just perimeter defense. And if that was the problem, then they did that. The Tapest Carwood Pope is one of the best three and D wings in basketball. Bruce Brown defences buttoff, not that good of a three point shooter, but has his moments. And I don't know anything about Christian Brown or Brown or whatever. But yeah, if that is the problem, then they 100% achieved that, fixing that with Tapest Carwood Pope, who I think is one of the more underrated pickups this season through that trade. Detroit is weird because they're a rebuilding team. So what he's saying, their problem was shooting. And he's saying that they did not improve that by picking up J. Denight, who's more of a creator or more than a peer shooter. I'm assuming that's what he's saying. Berks will help, but this is still projects to be a bottom five team in three point shooting. Sure, I said projects, projects. Either way, they got it. Okay, Warriors. What, okay, did we talk about a team coming off the championship win? What do I think is the biggest hole in their team? Probably has something to do with non-stef Curry minutes. Let's see what they're saying. Back up one, that kind of works, right? That kind of works. And if that is a problem, he's saying that kind of fit the problem because Jordan Poole and Dante even send zones and Jermaine Green can all do a little bit of everything. But it is what it is. Houston Rockets, I don't know. Let's see. Point guard, they say Tata Washington is not yet the fix. But I do like Tata's game, man. I don't know if he's gonna be the point guard of the future over there in Houston, but I do like Tata. Again, I've said it a hundred times on this channel. This has nothing to do with what we're talking about. Taris and it's my favorite rookie in this year's class. I'm gonna say it every time until people realize that Taris is really that nice. And I think most, a lot of people do realize that. Indiana, it's hard to say with Indiana, bro, just because when you're talking about rebuilding teams, there's a lot of weaknesses. So what are we determining is the biggest weakness? They're saying a start in power forward and they're saying that they potentially fixed that with Jalen Smith. Well, again, I made a whole video about being one of my favorite young players in basketball. So I hope that he is that guy. Clippers, point guard play has been the thing for the Clippers, also health, but we're talking about off-season neck resistance and stuff. Point guard play has always been the thing with the Clippers, with Paul, Georgia, Kawhi. And they are saying that they fixed that with John Wall. Cool, I think so too. Again, we don't know exactly what we're gonna get from John Wall. But whatever we do get is a plus to what they weren't gonna get without him. And it's the most friendly deal you can ask for. And John Wall comes in and it's too ego centric, which he's not because he's already talking about how he's a Robin and he's less than Robin. He is not play for y'all. You know what I'm saying? It was a low risk, Kawhi were assigning and I really like it for them. The Lakers, oh my God. Oh, what was the Lakers problem this season? How much time we got? How much time we got? They're saying it was wing defense. And they're saying that they didn't adjust that or get anything for that at all. I cannot disagree with that. I'm just happy that they were a young team that they were last year. I think that's a step in the right direction. But overall, the off season is still weird. I mean, it'll be a lot better if you can somehow find Kawhi on this roster, which I guess is a possibility, but I've read a lot of stuff saying that Kawhi and the Nets are preparing for them to be back next season. But reports are just that and we'll see if something materializes outside of that. Memphis, talk to me, overall shooting, all right? And they're saying improvements were made for sure the Grizzlies either added or resided key shot makers with green serving as a wildcard here. I don't know how much of Danny Green we're gonna get this season because in one of the last games of the season, he tore his ACL. I think the Miami Heat could use just more shot creation outside of Tyler Harrow and Jimmy Buckets. They are saying that their biggest weakness was playmaking. And they said that they fixed it mostly. Milwaukee Bucks, they can just use more bodies, more healthy bodies. Feels like we got down to the nitty gritty in the last couple of weeks, months of the season and just feel like they were missing guys and they were playing people that they didn't necessarily want to. They're saying wing depth, which is similar, I guess, to what I was saying. And they said that they didn't fix that because Joe Engels can't play right now. He also suffered ACL tear, which is weird that he got like a $5 million contract off of ACL tear. I mean, go get your money, Joe Engels. He was already an older guy. They're being 34 years old, so I don't know. Maybe we look back and be like, oh, that was one of the best signings of the off season. Or maybe we look back and be like, dang, that was kind of a waste. I don't know. Minnesota Timberwolves, I mean, okay. Just talk to me. All right, the gassy game is over, y'all. Let's just read the article. Minnesota Timberwolves wing depth are talking about Cal Anderson, Brent Forbes and Torian Prince. And they achieved that, man. I think that Cal Anderson, their few signings this off season, I absolutely love Cal Anderson was one of them. We also have like Isaiah Harden sign, who I really love as well. My favorite sign of all of the off season. Cal Anderson is up there as well. This is why in the other video from a little while ago, I said that the Minnesota Timberwolves are must-see TV for me or a team that I would not miss watching. They just added a lot of things that I'm extremely interested in and Cal Anderson is one of them. I don't know how he's gonna perform, but he's a good basketball player, so I think he'll figure it out. The spacing will be a little bit iffy though. The spacing is gonna be a little bit iffy. You don't have all the time in the world to take a shot. Pelicans, I think the pelicans might have something to do with not creation, shot making, because creation, they got that. They got Brandon Ingram. They gonna have Zion back. They gonna have CJ. These are creators. They need just people that can make shots. Shoot it, boom. And if that's the case, they did not fix it. Yeah, they're saying that they didn't fix that. I'll take my deal up on that one. The Knicks. I think the Knicks overall needed hope. Like if the Knicks would have came into the off-season, would just bring it back to same dudes, all Knicks fans across the world would be disappointed because they had lost hope because that team last year underperformed. Signed Jalen Brunson brings in hope for the organization. So I know that's not what they gonna say, but that's the way I'm feeling. Point guard play. Oh, Kenny, come on man, it's right there. They haven't had a real point guard in a very long time in New York and they got one of Jalen Brunson. So absolutely. The Thunder Wings. Okay, I mean, sure. And yeah, they fixed that because they had a million draft picks. So I guess that's true. Orlando Magic. They have so much stuff over there. Talk to me, Wings. It feels like Wings is the cop-out answer for a team that's young, that's trying to rebuild. Philly. What could Philly? Did Philly needed players with that dog in them? Even Jorlin B said it. They need players with their dog in them and they got that. Yeah, give me that. Okay, premium defense, not the same. But PJ got that. You know what I'm saying? And shout out to James Harden for taking the financial flexibility route and they got the thing. So yes, they got the dog in them. And PJ, I even say Daniel House got a little bit of that as well. Think about what he did in the bubble. And the Anthony Melton too. So yeah, the Suns talked to me. Front court versatility and they did not improve on that. So a lot of things to be said about the Suns off season. I was gonna make a video, but I was in Texas when all things happened around De'Andre at the time. I came back and wasn't even trying to top it no more. But yeah, they paid them. That's all that matters at the end of the day. They're talking about Dario Sarge. I need to watch to see how good Dario Sarge is in this. Is it FIBA? Is it Olympics? I'm so confused on that stuff. He's playing for his home country and I can't wait to watch him. I need to see what he's doing. The Trailblazers needed to improve like overall other side of the ball. We know that they gonna be able to score cause Damian Lillard is there and he's in offense in himself. And I am right, okay? Listen, I ain't getting them all right but the ones I'm guessing I'm doing all right. And they said mostly would Jeremy Grant and Gary Payton a second. I think the Sacramento Kings needed shooting and they said swings. Okay. I mean, I made a video about Dario Fox and how he didn't have any space in last season. This one and the other. Spurs, I had nothing. Volume shooting. Sure. Sure. The Raptors. The Raptors needed bodies. This man, Nick Nurse, was running a seven man rotation for the second half of the season. Wing depth, I'll take that. And sure, they did it. I didn't know what to expect from the Jazz. Okay. Yeah. They needed perimeter defense but then they traded the big guys. So it doesn't really matter. The Washington Wizards probably needed a facilitator. The last year they made the playoffs even though again, they wasn't a great record if you watch some Russell Westbrook video. Russell Westbrook was their point guard and he helped them go to the playoffs. Last year, they didn't really have any like good point guard play. Point guard. Got it. Got it. Monte Moore is the line right in Johnny Davis. So they have a point guard that you trust. Obviously, you know, it's tears to point guards but you have one you can trust. And I think that's a success. So not a bad article. Not a bad article at all. Let me know what you think. What did your team desperately need and tell me if they were successful and getting those things.
