 What's the word y'all welcome back to Kenny for real man the off-season is here man this morning shams and wolds You're breaking news and that free agency starts. I'm not not free at C NBA trades can go through tomorrow And though I love watching the game of basketball is very satisfying to see the ball go through the net here in the squeaking of the shoes The most important part to me or the most fascinating part to me is the building of teams Orchestrating teams to win basketball games is so fun. So the off-season is super super exciting to me So it's officially starting. I guess now because we already have a trade We all know that tampering happens in the NBA all the time How the hell does Tim and fake Moscow get a contract at 1201 and I think that was 2015 2016 They had to be talking way before him So we know that tampering goes down and we know that GM's are calling other GM's maybe when they not supposed to Nobody cares about that because it makes for great conversation and we have our first official trade Be sure to leave a like on the video subscribe if you're new and use that comment section because this is my channel And I'm just giving out my opinions, but it is a discussion at the end of the day So let me know what you think about the trade, which was Dennis Schroeder for 28 and Danny green On paper It looks like someone may have got finessed Once it went down I think the overall consensus on NBA Twitter was like that's all they got for Dennis Schroeder Let me read y'all or tell y'all how good Dennis Schroeder was last season He was my pick for six man of the year Even though he played starter tight minutes He was a part of the okc team where they run in a three-guard lineup That was one of the best lineups in the league He had just come off his best statistical season of his career average in 20 points per game off the season Shooting the three ball like his three-point shot actually looked good And one of my favorite plays from the season had to do with Dennis Schroeder with Steven Adams launch that thing Got full court pass to Dennis Schroeder alley you well I guess it was an alley you touchdown pass to send it to overtime in that game where Chris Paul was snitching on somebody having His jersey untucked one of the best games of the season Dennis Schroeder was a big part of that My six man of the year We knew that okc was a team that was selling and that might be one of the reasons why they didn't get Everything back that maybe me or you were thinking they could it is known to the whole world That all the veterans on that okc roster are available and they didn't want them back Not that they didn't like Dennis Schroeder not that they didn't like Chris Paul But they're going to a different direction in their franchise. So we know CP's gonna get traded We know Gallinari's not gonna come back Maybe it's a sign of trade situation or maybe he just completely walks a free agency and we knew that Dennis Schroeder And maybe Steven Adams will be out the door So what I'll let you know if I know it that means all the other 29 general managers in the league know that hey Dennis Schroeder is available and we may not have to give up too much and the Lakers pounced on that and the Lakers look great right now They gave up Danny Green and listen. We like to make jokes about Danny Green. I'm in that campus. Well But Danny Green is still a very good NBA player. There's a reason he is a back-to-back NBA champion He does contribute to good level defense and knocking down shots. That's he's always gonna be able to do that But they didn't need him in LA let's be honest They didn't need him in LA last year his contract and he wasn't amazing He's good at it But he wasn't amazing and this is looked at to be an upgrade me and my guys were talking about this on a podcast You should listen to that by the way I'm talking about the Lakers in the 28th overall pick in this year's draft And what could the Lakers be looking to do if they didn't trade it and basically we came to the consistency of They're probably gonna have to draft a point guard like a veteran college veteran point guard That spent three to four years because they need somebody to come in and help them now because they're the damn Lakers They just won a championship is gonna be harder to win a championship this year They need players that could come in and help now they didn't even know projects So we were trying to figure out the point guards to do that and they turned that into a veteran point guard Who's really really good now didn't sure to had said just a couple days ago that his agent was talking to To the LA teams and he didn't really like the idea of playing in LA well Sorry brother, and it's not that I don't think it's that The opportunity he's not thinking about opportunity. I mean RJ RJ Richard Jefferson Cheney Fry Who was did Jared Dudley? These are all guys that have come out and said that like It takes more than just being a good NBA player to play alongside LeBron James You have to completely remote the way you play basketball to accommodate LeBron James and not everybody's built for that And maybe that's what then it's true to say like man I'm just coming off a 20 point per game season off the bench and now I got to turn it to somebody different to play alongside LeBron I mean, it's like a give or take right that could potentially get you a championship if you can mold yourself Or you could look weird to like you remember when Derek Rose was sitting in the corner with the Cleveland Cavaliers Why the hell was Derek Rose is sitting in the corner waiting to get three pointers? It's just weird at the end of the day the Lakers look great because Rondo it's already been expressed that he was going to opt out and the way he played in the bubble and the way he played In the playoffs they're gonna be a lot of contending teams that are looking at Rizan Rondo to either be their point guard or their backup point guard So a market is heavy for Rizan Rondo KCP with Danny Green being gone This is a place where KC people like y'all really need me now Y'all really need this wing defense y'all really need this three-point shooting and he might get a nice little paycheck But it was also rumored that he might go and play to play in Atlanta So it's a lot of different things that the Lakers are going to have to deal with and they just dealt with the first thing And it happens to be getting dinner shooter now. I like dinner shooter as a six-man role I don't know what they're playing is to is he's coming back to a start because though He did put up good counting numbers with the Atlanta Hawks as a starter It just didn't really look great and maybe he's older He's more wise and he's just a better player now and he can be a starting point guard again But I did like when he was a six-man it just worked to to perfection to perfection now. Okay C's part I Think we are about to see With the trade starting and in Trade markets up there. We might be seeing a bunch of different trades. They're like we come to the conclusion They're like that might have been Less than what we thought his value was right because dinner shooter again all things I said about dinner shooter being positive He is still Making a decent amount of money like as much as you want to put him on another really good team for more of a package Another contender for more of a package the market may not have really been there for dinner shooter as good as he is He's still making 15 plus million dollars a year So and Sam Presti and the OKC Thunder has said with with the Chris Paul trade. They were looking to get additional contracts Danny Green is coming to OKC But he's only on the last year of his deal, right? So there might have been teams calling for dinner shooter that we're giving up two three-year contracts and Impressing them don't really want that but as a second year in a row where They traded us a really good road player for a late first-round pick If you do not remember Jeremy Grant was traded to the Denver Nuggets for a pick that turned out to be I think 25 in this year's draft and now dinner shooters gone for 28 now These are places in the draft for you can hit a home run or get good solid role players But at the end of the day It is a late first-round pick and a lot of these players don't pan out So hopefully they got a great scouting team or whatever to to make things work But they do have two late first-round picks Maybe they're gonna try to package those to move up to a team is trying to move back I don't know this office is about to be about to be crazy But as I mentioned earlier, we're talking about OKC. That was a known selling team So even when we get to the Chris Paul trade, we might look at it and be like man Don't you think they could have got more? Right Don't because they had already they told Chris Paul you are getting traded They gave Chris Paul the opportunity to talk to other franchises. He's out the door So why the hell if I'm the Phoenix sons I give up this and that and I know that they promised him he is going to get traded So that might have been a situation within the shooter. Okay. See fans I I can understand you being kind of frustrated with this again You knew that you were going to have to trade in the shooter But maybe you want a little bit more and maybe you hit on 28 and you don't care anymore But I've been seeing okay sees fans like saying like they don't want Danny Green there and I can understand that I Thought that this was gonna be a trade that was going to need a third team to take Danny green Because he can contribute on a contender It'll be weird to see him there and even I do think he'll probably only be there for half a season And they'll trade him at the deadline. That just feels like a type of thing Okay, see what do but Danny green is a type of player that'll still come in give you good rotational minutes They already have a lot of like wing players and like Shay Lou door There's bases more like a 3-4 more than a 2-3, but like you give him saying there's they have a lot of young depth there And Danny green just be taken like 25 minutes a game from somebody So I can understand you not wanted Danny green in the roster and probably wanted a little bit more But again, this could be just the first trade of many that we look on and be like I thought they was going to get more Right Chris Paul trade Russell Westbrook trade is a good one like we I feel like these are going to be Big name players that get traded for less than what we may see their value as at the end of the day The reason these general managers have this job is because they're they can understand the talent Evaluation part of things that may be me as an outsider camp Sam Presti is known as one of the best general managers in the general managers in the league So I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt at the end of the day But right now I look like They didn't get that much for one of the best backup point guards in the league, you know But it's just the first trade of many. Oh the Lakers and Thunder Have an agreement and principles on the deal with Dennis Schroeder in the 28th pick league sources to okay So it's official official now. It's official official. It's not writing But it's official official that it's done with Dennis Schroeder the Lakers could get another solid playmaker Who has become a effective catch a shoot? Yes. He has done that. So that's it y'all Let me know what you think about this trade It's just the first one and there's more trades break if it's at this level I will make a video if we talk about a lower end of a rotation player getting traded I'm not making a full video about that But Dennis Schroeder is good enough to help a team that is trying to win another championship So that's why this was important enough to make it. All right I'll see y'all probably tomorrow because we're gonna see more trades, baby. Peace
