 What's the word y'all, we gotta one take this one. I ain't got time to edit. We gotta, this feels like back in 2019 where brother one take everything. I'm a little bit lost from those times. Cary Irvin requested a trade. Right when we thought that O.J. Anubi was gonna be the biggest name on the market. Rival executives were talking about the 2023 Deadline so I do one of the worst in recent history. Cary Irvin said, nah, I'd rather be traded right now. Trade me before this deadline. Or I'm just gonna walk a free AT anyway, Joe Sasso. You better do what's best for your organization and shit me off to my next day. Chris Hayes reported about a week ago that Cary Irvin wants to stay in Brooklyn. He wants an extension. He wants a certain amount of money. He wants a certain amount of years attached to that. And apparently Joe Sy and whoever's in charge over there don't believe that Cary Irvin's worth what he wants and boom, this is how we get to this point. And this is so crazy and so crazily timed because the Brooklyn Nets, when they've had Cary Irvin, Kevin Arant, Nicholas Klax and their top three players playing, they went from a team that were towards like the plan to at one point there was a number two seed in all the basketball right before the Kevin Arant injury. And now this man, Cary Irvin said, I want to be on a new team. It's crazy. Now I'm not a guy that's gonna get here and talk about priorities amongst NBA players and their own personal lives. It's not really important to me, at least in this moment. But I mean, this is a good opportunity if the idea is to win a championship. Brooklyn has a core that is good enough and they were trying to be buyers' deadline. Now they gonna have to finagle and retool and there's Kevin one out now that Cary is gone. Like I don't know what's about to happen in Brooklyn. But Cary Irvin said the bag is more important, which I can't be mad at him about. He wants this stability, I guess. And it's crazy all of this unfolds since this morning. So the first report, these are all from NBA Centrum. The Lakers believe that they're one move away from being a legit title contenders, okay? The second one says that the Lakers no longer are trying to preserve cap space for the 2023 free agency. Okay. And they just like that Cary Irvin requested a trade. That tweet had been out 22 minutes. They aren't looking to preserve the 2023 cap. And if you didn't know, the 23 cap space would have probably been used on Cary Irvin anyway. So they probably thinking like, hey, this is our time. And I saw my boy Isaac from the D3 podcast make a funny tweet saying that this is Rob Polinka's legacy game. Like this is what we've been waiting for. I made a video about a month or so ago when the Lakers won the streak and Anthony Davis playing in the Calibre level and LeBron was doing this thing saying that the Lakers have to do something. Rob Polinka has to do something because you got these two dudes that are playing ASS off and the rest of the team has been, all right, but it ain't big enough. And he made the Roo Hatch more trading than it's been what a week and a half since where he's been on the roster. He's been a plus. And now you have an opportunity. Maybe, again, maybe it depends on what Brooklyn wants to do to potentially bring in Cary Irvin who has won a championship with LeBron James. Whoa. Now, how do we get to this point? I made a tweet trying to figure, okay, we know that Cary Irvin wants out. How do we get him to his next team? What teams would be interested? And these are the teams I came up with. And I was thinking along the lines of these are the teams that might want him slash want to extend him. Cause a lot of teams could trade for Cary Irvin but his priority is getting his bag and getting his extension. So these are the teams I came up with. Obviously, the comment section is open. You let me know. Number one on my list was the LA Lakers. We're going to talk about what that potential package could look like. Number two was the Miami Heat. They feel like they need a big time move and Cary Irvin is really good. Save what you want about Cary Irvin. Save what you want about Cary Irvin. He's a really good basketball player. Number three, the Washington Wizards. And I saw some people like Washington. It's the goddamn wizards, man. They're on a six game win streak. They want to keep their top three court together. I'm pretty sure they have not all of their draft capital but tradeable draft pieces. Now, Brooklyn is probably looking to get people that can help them right now considering they, I don't, we don't know what Kevin is going to do. If Kevin wants to stay in Brooklyn, they're not about to trade Cary Irvin for a bunch of draft picks. They're going to probably want some stability but Washington would be a team. That's 100s of picking up the phone. That's what Washington does. The next team is the Dallas Maverick. Put a question mark because I think the Dallas would maybe draw a line in the San O'Carrie Irvin mostly because of the off course stuff. Again, we're not here to talk about all of that right now. We're talking basketball but we've seen some situations in Dallas's history where they don't really play games with some of the off course stuff. And then lastly was the LA Clippers who in desperate need of like elite level point guard play. Now, do these teams have the assets to potentially get Cary Irvin is the real question. You know what I'm saying? If you're the Brooklyn Nets fan, you say, okay, the Lakers want Cary Irvin. How the hell do they give, how do we give them Cary Irvin? Okay, we got 27 and 29 but we have Kevin around on the roster right now. And in 2029, we don't know if we're going to have Kevin Arana so why do we care about that pick when we see that this team can be good enough, right? So how do we, how do we give them Cary Irvin just for those draft picks of Russell Westbrook? That's not fun to us. Russell's been decent off the bench but he's not coming to Brooklyn and we're still one of the best teams in Easter Conference. He doesn't feel the shoes of what Cary Irvin have done this season. We're gonna have Nicholas Claxton, Russell Westbrook and Ben Simmons on the court together. I don't like the recipe for that. I don't know about that shooting. Kevin Arana's gonna get triple-teamed all the damn time. But this is my proposal for something like this. If the Lakers are the number one destination, let's be real, it seems like they are. You know what I'm saying? Again, I'm being unbiased. I feel like the Lakers are the number one destination. So how can the Lakers make this happen? Of course, the Russell Westbrook concert has to be a part of it. They have 2027 and 2029. And if they're talking about completely unprotected picks that are tradeable, those are two of the most valuable picks in the entirety of the NBA. It's not gonna be a two-teamer. It's gonna be a three. Damn, it might even be a four-teamer. And one of the teams I think holds the pieces. And a lot of this is that man Danny H. That man Danny H. can facilitate a big-ass trade again. Because one thing that the Utah Jazz have are competent and good players that you can put alongside Kevin. Does it lower the ceiling of the team? Absolutely, you're losing Kyrie Irvin. But it raised the floor a little bit. So in this hypothetical, again, I don't know exactly who the players are because I know they love Jordan Clark, she's been stellar for them. But if it is Malik Beasley, if it is Mike Hanley, if it is J.R. Vanderbilt, those three ended up in Brooklyn. And then the draft picks ended up in Utah. And then Russell Westbrook ends up in Utah. Considered to be bought out maybe. And then Kyrie Irvin ends up with the Lakers. Like I think the framework, again, that's not the official trade. I ain't even putting in the trade. I don't know if it works. But like the framework of a three-team trade dealing with those three organizations makes a lot of sense. But in this case, again, just like every other trade in the history, this man Danny A's been a part of, he has the ultimate leverage if he is going to be the third team. Whoever ends up being that third team has the ultimate leverage. And that's only in the Lakers' Brooklyn deal. Some of these other teams can maybe get it done without a third team, but it is a little bit harder. Like the mind of he would be interested, but what? Tyler Hero's money doesn't even kick in until next season. So now we gotta figure out a team that wants to take injured Duncan Robison. And it's like, it's going to be if... Honestly, the more I think about it, I feel like majority of these destinations for Cary Irvin will require a facilitator team that might take on bad contracts and draft capital to make Cary Irvin get to whatever team he needs to go to. Again, thinking about these other rosters, the Dallas Mavericks said that they are willing, they are willing to trade Dorn Finney Smith for a superstar. We laughed at him. We absolutely laughed at him. But maybe Dorn Finney Smith, maybe Spencer Dinwiddie. And again, I'm just talking. These are other facilitating players that could potentially be in a deal that you can put alongside Kevin to make you feel like, okay, we still got a chance because now we got more depth. Again, if we Brooklyn, are we happy about this? Absolutely not. Cary Irvin's an all-star star in the season. He's been phenomenal. They lost the first couple of games after Kevin Aram went out with his injury and cystin. They've been really good. So it sucks to be in this position again, but here you are. But the last time somebody on my organization, a star player requested to trade, we smoothed it out. It worked out perfectly. So this could be another situation where a player in the Brooklyn Nets organization requests to trade and nothing happens of it. But for us, this is fun. Now we do have to talk about whether or not this means, what happens with Kevin now? This Kevin go back and say, all right, Kai's gone and we not even, there's no star player that you get him back in the Cary Irvin trade, right? There's no star player. So now you telling me I gotta go get more role players, which is cool. But again, Kevin Aram made the interview where he's talking about, they throw me out there where Edmund Sumner. Remember that happened at the beginning of the season? It all looked like he really cared about the role players. He want another guy alongside him. So does it open up the worms of him requesting to trade again and of Kevin is back on the market? Oh my God, I don't even know what happens there. If Kevin is back on the market, I'm looking around, I'm looking around. I just don't know. The Nix, Nix fans, you missed out on Donovan. Maybe you can hit on Kevin this time. Like what teams, of course, a lot of teams would be interested in Kevin, but what teams will have the package? Cause if I'm trading Cary Irvin, okay. And I'm trading Kevin, this is where we're starting to think about draft capital and stuff. We're not caring about Dwarf and Smiths. We're not caring about the Mike Collies in the world. If I have to trade both of these guys, cause they both won out, this is the moment where I'm thinking about the future because we don't even own the right strong picks. We got some swaps and some other deals. So let's go ahead and get a lot of those Nix picks. They got a Dallas pick. They got this pick over there. Maybe we get RJ back because he got benched in the game a couple of days ago, but he followed it up with a 30 point win, a 30 point game and a win on national TV. So he backed it up. But the NBA is back in chaos. And we were talking about how bad it had been as far as the rumors have been trashed. Nobody, two trades have happened all of the season. The first one was for Noah Vanley. And I don't even know if I've seen Noah Vanley in a jersey since that trade. So the only move we've seen is Rihachi Moore ended up with the Lakers so far again has been looking really good for the Lake show. Kari Irving just changed the whole deadline because now a lot of teams are interested. I'm assuming I can't say for sure because again, trading for Kari Irving is deep and it's just trading for the basketball player. Again, they are one of the better teams in basketball with completely healthy. They have an opportunity to win a championship. They were a legit title contender. And he said, I don't really care about that right now. You know, so he is a guy that has become unpredictable. I guess he's always kind of been unpredictable in his career. And I can't maybe every team want to be interested, but a lot of teams will be interested in what Kari Irving and his worth and the things that he could do on the basketball court. So you let me know in the comment section. This is just my firsthand reactions. It's been 17 minutes, 22 minutes since the trade has been announced or not the trade. The rumor has been announced that he wants out. So I'm very curious to see what y'all think. And of course, like always, I'll be in the comment section. I was literally about to hit publish on my all-star reserve video. Y'all got to see that tomorrow. You got to see it tomorrow. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It probably won't be as topical, whatever. We recorded that video. It's a banger of an 18 minute video. Y'all gonna see it tomorrow. Instead, y'all getting this one today. So let me know. Kari Irving wants out. Ridiculous.
