 What's the word y'all? It has been some time since I've reacted to a trade article on the Bleach Report app. So today is the day. Links in the description. I go to Spotify and download my podcast, maybe number two in sports and I wanna get number one. So download the podcast, link is in the description, only on Spotify right now, but we'll be on Apple Podcast in a few days. All right, Greg, let's see what you got, my boy, because I don't really know what to expect. All right, let me keep it a buck. Someone tweeted at me the link to this article when I didn't click it and they said, Kenny, you'll enjoy this. And I'm assuming now that I see that the first trade is dealing with the bulls, that that's why they sent it to me. Let's see what the trade is. Tyus Jones answers the bulls' point guard problems, which is funny because during the playing games, I was asked by Taylor Rooks who the bulls need and instead of saying like LeBron or Giannis or whatever, I said this. Luckily what you're saying, the bulls. Tyus Jones. Oh! Get Tyus Jones to Chicago. Oh! I actually- So let's see if the trade is right. It is Tyus Jones and Corey Kisper for Patrick Williams' Daily Terry in a 2026 second round pick. Oh boy. Again, I love Tyus Jones, as you see in that video with me, Rooks and Fry. But the price of Patrick Williams is a little bit too rich for my blood. I'm not ready to give up on Patrick Williams yet, man. I can't be the only one. Maybe I am. I'm not ready to give up on him on a plug and play point guard. Tyus Jones is what, 27, 28 years old. I'm not saying he's not capable of getting better, but I just think that Patrick Williams is going to be really good. And he has only a couple years under his belt. He's still only 21 years old. I know he's got three years technically, but it may feel like he's older. He's 21 and he's just not 40% from three with good defense. I believe that he can turn into more. So I'm not ready to give up on Tyus Jones right now. Even though we desperately need point guard play, I just feel like this will be going all in on this super old core. And one of the young bright spots that we have, the pretty much only young bright spot that we have is Patrick Williams. And I'm not giving that up. At least not for Tyus Jones. I mean, for the right, it's not, I'm not saying that Patrick Williams should be untouchable, but I'm just saying not for Tyus Jones. So awful one for me personally. I could see a world where some people like this deal. Maybe they don't believe in Patrick Williams as much as I do, but it'll be weird to give up Patrick Williams in last year's first round pick, even though DT in summer league, year two summer league hasn't looked that good. Next we get the Knicks ad shooting. It is Bogdanovich for Evan Fortier and a 2024 top 10 protected pick via the Knicks. I mean, Bogdanovich has been on the block, the block for some time now. And obviously he just had an amazing season. He's a little bit older than what most people probably expect. What is he 35, 34, 35 years old. But for the Knicks, this is kind of a no-brainer if you ask me, because I would expect them to have another successful season where this pick is the 19th overall pick or something along those lines. And you just, you feel okay when giving up the 19th overall pick to add a player that helps you in one of your weaker spots. If I'm the Detroit Pistons, I mean, they've been holding out on Bogdanovich for some time. There was rumored that they won a first round pick. And this is a real one. It's not one of them top 25 protected and it gets turned into two seconds after. If this is like a legitimate first round pick, so be it. And it opens up some opportunities for some of your younger players like Isaiah Livers or something like that. I don't hate it, but I could see a world where Pistons fans do. The third trade is going to be a Hawks Acquire Raptor star. Huh, what's the definition of that word? I don't know. It's not named Pascal Siakam. So it's Ojiata Nobi for AJ Griffin, Deandre Hunter, a first round pick and two second round picks. Whoa, that's not a, maybe not a lot. Maybe I'm just really high on AJ Griffin. Similar thing where I say with Patrick, I mean, AJ is going into a second season. So in the minutes that he was given and felt like he made the most of it, he hit a game winner against my Bulls this season. But it felt like there was times within the season where he would get the rotational minutes and he's a right place, right time type player where defensively, offensively, he just finds his spots and he makes it work. He had times where he was heavily in a rotation and had times where he's out of the rotation completely. Ojiata Nobi is really, really good. But there's also rumors that Oji wants the ball in his hands more. So you're gonna trade him to a team that already has Trey Young, who's a high usage player. And then Dejante Mer, who's also a high usage player. This is just relegating Oji to do the same thing he's doing in Toronto, which he might not be really excited about. Also, Ojiata Nobi, last year of his contract. So are we trading sophomore, your AJ Griffin? We're trading Deandre Hunter, who at this point, I can understand why you would trade him at Landon Hawks. A lot of money you left on the deal and he hasn't blossomed. He had that one playoff game where they were getting eliminated. You're like, oh, he gonna come back next season. He gonna be kind of fine. He wasn't. So you're adding all it is plus a first round pick that is via the Kings, a part of the Kevin Herter deal for Oji and it might be a one-year rental. I don't love it. But if I'm the Raptors and I'm saying that, hey, we have to trade Oji, we have to. This is not a bad package. AJ Griffin again projects to be really good in his league. Deandre Hunter, again, a lot of years and a lot of money left in that contract. But maybe you can untap something that hasn't been there. And then an extra first round pick is always good, even if it is the Kings, with them being a solid, really good NBA team. The starting lineup is intriguing, though, on paper. Would it be in Trey Young, Dejante Murray, Sadiq Bay, Ogyana Nobi, and Clint Capella? That's not too bad. They just have to figure out more offensive stuff between these two dudes and how do we figure it out completely? Quinn Snyder is now gonna have a full opportunity, a full off season to really work on that. I guess we'll see. Pat creates Big Three in Dallas. The Wolves build around Anthony Edwards. So, this is Carl Anthony Towns in exchange for Christian Wood on the sign and trade. This matters to me, because you can't just say sign and trade and not tell me what that contract looks like because are we tying big money, okay money to him? I don't know. Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Jaden Hardy. Jaden Hardy and one unprotected first round pick. We've talked about this on this channel before, that if the Tim Wolves feel like this core collection of guys of Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gaubert, and Carl Anthony Towns, is it gonna do the big thing? Spoiler alert, it probably isn't gonna have to do the big thing. Then you're gonna have to make a significant move and I promise you're not trading Ant-Man, especially not after that extension. Congratulations. You're not gonna trade Rudy Gaubert because you're not gonna get the value that you give it up for him and he looked worse this season than last season. Let's be real. So, his value is already lower than what it was when you traded for him. I would argue that his value wasn't that high, the price he paid, whatever, whatever. So, it means that if you wanna make a splash, you wanna make a substantial change to your organization, it's gonna be Carl Anthony Towns and is this the, this is the trade package that they thinking? Christian Wood, who, there's a reason why Christian Wood is still in the market right now, obviously he's a really talented offensive player but there's a lot to be desired on the other side of the ball. There's rumors about some locker room stuff. I'm not in the locker room so I can't attest to that at all but I'm just saying as watching him, he's a, he can go out for 30 but he can also be a revolving door. So, I don't love that, especially if we signed and traded him. Maybe the sign and trade is just for this season and so you're saying that we basically traded Carl Anthony Towns for one first round pick and Jayden Hardy who might be good because Tim Hardy with Junior is a good player but we thinking two years, three years down the line, he's down on the roster. I don't love this package if I'm in Minnesota, Temple Wolves and if we're saying this is how low Carl Anthony Towns value has got across the association, I'm okay with just keeping them on the team and let them rehabilitate that trade value. If this is the, I'm cool with this team being a 41 team every season, a 42 win team every season. If this is the trade package, I get a return for Carl Anthony Towns who just four years ago was voted by the coach or maybe those six years ago, voted by the coaches and GMs across the league as the guy to build your organization around. I'm not trading that man for this. Of course a lot has changed over the years but man, I hate that package. But if you're Santa Wolves want to do this, hell, I would do this in a heartbeat if I'm the magic, I'm the Mavericks. Yeah, the defense ain't gonna be good between Luca, Kyrie and Towns but the office gonna be OD. Hanging out on my nephew too much, Santa OD and stuff. The last trade is the Lillard trade. It is Dan, it is Marcus Moore going to the Miami Heat. The Clippers receive James Harden and PJ Tucker. The 76ers get Tyler Hero, Caleb Martin and Robert Covington is back and then two second round picks from the Heat. And then the Trailblazers get two unprotected first round picks from Miami. Two unprotected first round picks from the Clippers. They get Larry Batum, Jovich, Kobe Brown as well. Wow, I think he just had a 30 piece today. Hey, watch the Summer League no more about it. I think he's just had a 30 piece. Amir Kalfi and Jason Preston who's been really solid in Summer League as well. This is a huge, huge trade. And I mentioned before, I am not in the business of talking Damien Lillard trades until it's done. Every day there is a new rumor that saying this and saying that I'm ready for it to happen if it is gonna happen. So for that reason, I don't have an opinion. Other than getting a real four first round picks for Damien Lillard feels cool if I'm the Blazers. You don't get any as of right now like up and coming talent. So it's really just exchanging Dame for draft capital but maybe you believe in Jovich and maybe you believe in Brown and maybe you believe in Amir Kalfi or something. 76ers end up with Tarris Halliburke, Tarris Maxi and Tyler Hero. I'm not really ready to talk about it. I love trade articles. I love trade articles because at the end of the day a polarizing trade means that you're doing something right and I think a lot of these trades are polarizing.
