 What's the word y'all? Oh my God, Kevin DeRant is a Phoenix Son. I was about to get it bad, look, oh my God, the hair is, Kevin DeRant is a Phoenix Son. That is insane, bro. A couple of days ago when they traded with Kyrie, they said their attention was to still build around Kevin, that was a lie, apparently. And Kevin DeRant is now a part of the Phoenix Sons. Kevin DeRant got what he wanted, ladies and gentlemen. This off season, he said, trade me. Basically the only team I'm interested in is the Sons anyway. And they're like, nah, we gonna be chillin', we gonna be good, we gonna be 20 and four when you and Kyrie hoop, but then Kyrie go with question trade, he gonna ball out on national TV and we gonna get you out of here too. Oh my God, the deadline looked like it was gonna be trash and we just saw a top five, I don't know what you gonna call Kevin DeRant, whatever. One of the best players in the league who was in MVP conversations, pre-injury. And Kyrie Irvin, who's an all-star starter, two all-star starters have been dealt. Tomorrow whatever happens at the actual deadline doesn't matter because this right here is the deadline. The trade package as we know it is, is, hold on, hey, these are one takes, baby. And I am not editing, I am tired, I wanna go to sleep, but work must be done. It is McHale Bridges, J Crowder, Cam Johnson, four first round picks and a swap for Kevin. As of right now, we don't know if any of those picks are protected or whatever, but that is the deal, Kevin DeRant is a son. And Devin Booker just came back on national TV the other day. The Sons have been playing good basketball as of recent and now we have to throw them back into championship contention. We have to, undoubtedly. We have to do it. They were the number one seed last season, 65-ish wins, got to the second round and Luca made that boy look crazy. Kevin and Kyrie are both in the Western Conference. There are so many storylines. Kevin and Kyrie are both in the Western Conference. There's a decent chance that these two teams can meet again in the first round, second round, Conference Finals. Oh my God, we thought it wasn't gonna happen we thought the Sons was done. Matt Ispia, Matt Ispia bought the Phoenix Sons. We were doing a taping of our podcast through the White Podcast by the way. And we're doing a taping of the podcast and I made a joke like, I will stay big trade gon' be. Every time an owner comes in, he immediately wants to make a step on the scene. Alice Rodriguez and Tim Connelly traded 17 first round picks for Rudy Gobert. And I'm sure there's other examples that I can't think of on top of my head because I'm spiraling right now. Matt Ispia said that, oh, we might hire Zeke, but we might not hire Zeke. And whoever over there, James Jones, who has been on record saying that he don't give a damn about draft capital, has thrown it all to get Kevin. And now it's Chris Paul, who obviously don't look as good as he did last year, the year before that, the year before that, but he's still the goddamn point Godfler general. Kevin Durant, they trade him at Kellbridge. This is unfortunate. We'll see what happens when Mikhail being 26 years old, going to Brooklyn. I mean, Brooklyn low key about to have a nice little fun team over there. I might have to hop O2K and do a MyNBA of Brooklyn now that they don't have their own first round picks and they got some stuff. They got rid of Cam and Jay Crowder so that four position is open. And I don't know how you supplement that, but you got DeAndre Aiden there as well. And the Aiden piece itself is crazy. I mean, again, I don't see any reason to trade him to somebody else. And he has a thing in his contract because he just signed it that he can veto any trade and whatever. I'm assuming that that is what they're doing. And I cannot believe it. I mean, their depth is undoubtedly just trashed and their health is gonna be huge. And they have some people that have some history, but I'm thinking too big brain right now. We have to just sit back and think about the fact that Kevin DeRant just got traded at 12 o'clock central time the day before the trade that line. It happened. Now the Brooklyn that's, there's a lot of conversations to be said about them having Katie, Kyrie and James Harden in that era being over in 16 months. And that trio only playing 10 games. And then Kevin DeRant and Kyrie only playing X amount of games and them only winning one playoff series in the entirety of them being together. Kevin and Kyrie played four or three seasons and some change together. They have one playoff series win. There's a, there's a lot to be said there, but that's for a future video post trade that line. These are just the instant reactions to all of these things. Am I crazy to think that this might have been an underpay for Kevin? Because as much as I love Michael, he's one of the homies. He's 26 years old. Cam Johnson is 26 years old and up for an extension this season. Jay Crowder is Jay Crowder. I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up in the morning, he's been routed to some other team as part of this big old three teamer. And then the draft capital. I mean, they're probably thinking as the Brooklyn Nets that we don't have our own picks. So let's just go accumulate picks from other places. We've seen Kevin go to this spot and it not work out. So maybe he goes to Phoenix and it's not working out. He goes here and it not work out. And now some of those picks are valuable down the line. Again, I'm sure that by the time even this video is out, we might know if it's 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029. And then Chris Hay said it was one swap involved. This feels like an underpay. Obviously the draft capital is the big thing. I was thinking that the Brooklyn Nets were gonna ask for a legitimate young player. But again, I mean, Michael is not old by any means, but 26 is not considered a young player anymore in a grand scheme of building and trying to get ready for three years down the line when we want to be good again. So now it's the goddamn Cam Thomas show and we about to see him drop 40 at night, Brooklyn. This might be, look, look, look, look, look, Brooklyn. For the last three and a half seasons, it's been a lot of hope. It's been a lot of turmoil. It's been a lot of disappointment. You wash your hands of the situation. You did something that all of the other 29 GMs would have done, I believe. You had an opportunity to sign all-time greats to your roster and you did that. And you had those all-time greats and another all-time greats that he wanna play with you and you made that trade. You couldn't have foreseen the pandemic. You couldn't have foreseen some Instagram, some tweets that, you know, did some bad things. You couldn't have foreseen some freak accidents, some injuries to Kevin, to Rhee and to James in the playoffs. You couldn't foresee his toe being on the line. But all of those things happened and it ended in nothing. And you could wash your hands of it. Oh my God, it was a tweet that says Ben has the keys now. Ben Simmons has zero trade value from what I'm hearing. So I cannot believe it, man. The Brooklyn Nets now have Spencer Denwoody there who he got traded. Him and Doe got traded thinking that he's about to play alongside Katie and now we can revisit the Kari Irving trade because they made that trade with the idea that they were still building around Kevin and now Doe is just there. Them and Doe are gonna be playing on playoffs. I'm not, there's a world where the Brooklyn Nets are still like pretty fun and entertaining and entertaining enough to make the playoffs maybe. But Doe is a dude that should be on contending teams. And now he about to sit there for the next, what is it, 60 days minimum. He might get traded in the off season, but he's just there. And now the Kari Irving trade, we gotta regrade it because some of those other offers look a little bit better. You telling me the Lakers was giving me 27 and 29, I'll protect it. I might want that over Dorf and Smith and Spencer Denwoody considering we traded Kevin DeRent 36 hours later. Kevin DeRent is a Phoenix son. The depth on that team is about to be disgusting, but they still have Dario Scharch. I'm just saying by the contracts, that's $10 million. If they traded all the picks, I don't know how you leverage Dario Scharch's contract. And I mean, I guess you still have all your seconds. Dario on some seconds can maybe get you something from one of the selling teams or I don't really know. I hope that this is not it because as good as it is or what it could be, the top end talent, that depth is just gonna kill them. It's just gonna kill them. But, okay, oh my God, I'm happy that I'm just talking now. The nets get unprotected in 23, 25, 27 and 29. So basically what I thought, because again, the stipending rule, they can't go consecutive years, but unprotected in 29 is very interesting because 29 is a very long way. It's the same thing I said in the Brooklyn Nets, Kyrie Irvingtree. 2029 is a very far ways from now and anything can be happening in 2029. But again, this is my initial reactions just like all of these other videos have been and maybe I sleep on it and I wake up and I feel a little bit differently about it. It feels like an underpay. Because that draft capital can be something or it couldn't be something. You didn't get any players that you feel like you can build around in a Kevin DeRach rate, you know? That's what it's gonna boil down to for me. And again, I guess we'll see in 2030 if the 2029 is the first overall pick and now I don't know, somebody's that guy. But as of right now, it feels like you would want a player and that's the problem when making a superstar caliber deal at the deadline and like Kyrie Irvingtree and Kevin DeRach and our mind were living happily ever after Thursday at 9 a.m. And now they're both on different teams. That's the problem when having to trade superstar caliber players at the deadline or with 48 hours of time in between when a trade was requested and now. You're not gonna win. You're not gonna win because the teams that would have been interested in Kevin were the sons who gave you the draft capital, the Miami Heat who don't really have draft capital or don't really have players that we're really interested in and we can't get banned because bam and Ben Simmons's contract are conflicting and damn, I forgot we even had Ben Simmons. Does he hoop? Does he do anything? So now we have to trade Kevin and I don't know if Kevin was the one that said, okay, now get me out or if this just them trying to be proactive because they saw the right and was on the wall that he was gonna, no way, no way. Actually, Kevin had to request out because even if the writing was on the wall, right? The package you could have got this off season would have been undoubtedly better than this. Undoubtedly better than this because you can really sit down and you can pin the phones of all the 29 of the GMs and say, hey, you interested in Kevin? What are you thinking? But instead we had three teams, two teams, maybe even just one team that had even something that was worth being interested in and if I'm the Brooklyn Nets. We just traded Kevin Durant for draft picks at McKell Bridges and we love McKell, what did he ended up running up in defensive player of the year? Top three defensive player of the year? He's talented, he's a dog. But we didn't get a player to build around. We didn't get a player that our fan base is like, yes, that's a building piece for our future. I mean, I don't know. Maybe the building piece of your future was just sitting on the bench and getting DMP's coach decisions and now he's dropping 40 at night and regularly. I kidding again, I mean, at this point, we're just rambling the rambling on. This feels like something that's gonna have to go into the morning where I got to sleep on it and all of that stuff, bro. Oh man, oh man, oh man. Shout out to my boy, McKell, I might shoot him a text, see how he's feeling because he is going to Brooklyn. And he just made a tweet because Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are now getting reunited. He gonna be in the same city as them. They about to be hanging out all the goddamn time. They gonna be across the bridge from each other. So that's kind of cool, I guess. Wow. Man, I feel like I should be turning this into a podcast. There's so much that could be saying but I think I'm gonna end it there. It's so much that I can't even process. I'm so happy that I didn't go to sleep because I was up there, dog. I was up there, I was getting ready. I was shirtless, brother. I was about to hop into bed. And then this, and McKell Bridges just tweeted, oh my God, LOL, that's the way it is. Kevin Reinhardt is a Phoenix Son. Let me know what you think. How many asleep on it? And I see if anything develops outside of that.
