 What's the word y'all wow Kenny doing a video in the daytime for sure a lot of the OG's of the channel No, it wasn't always just the recap It was just whenever I felt like talking about basketball and today I feel like talking about the trade that line and trade room is because that is the only thing on my mind in the NBA world people been asking where the where the recaps have been and honestly I haven't been super invested in the NBA to put out a full-length video of me talking about all the games Because why would I watch Pacers versus Miami Heat when I can watch Loyola Chicago beat up on Illinois? You know I'm saying so I have been prioritizing college basketball at the moment over the NBA because Those games are winner go home and right now it doesn't feel like that in the NBA Of course every game matters when we come to seating and stands and things like that But at the end of the day it doesn't really hold that much weight Especially with the trade that line being on Thursday the teams that I'm watching right now Not the final version of the teams and I kind of want to use today's video to talk about the trade that line and The things that are on my mind related to those I listen to a lot of NBA podcast and one that I listened to recently I forget if wold was on someone else's or this was wold's show He was basically saying that he expects to see like 15 16 17 trades go down this trade that line And when I heard him say that I'm like really like like really it didn't feel like Ramping up into this week It didn't feel like it would be that active of a trade that line and then now that I'm thinking about it now That's completely cap. It's probably gonna be a super active trade that line But not one that's gonna get you a superstar player getting traded because we got that earlier in the season with the James Harden trade So today yesterday the rumors have been all over the place and today I want to kind of tackle some of those rumors and talk about some teams that I think should be Making some trades this week I'm always also said that he doesn't expect to see many trades happening on Monday and Tuesday because everybody's invested in the Tournament so expect a lot of buzzer be the trades coming out on Thursday, which is very interesting because I have a video shoot For called game with the player that name has been in rumors So I feel like he's gonna have to cancel because he might get traded on Thursday I don't know so let's start off with it with the player that is on my mind the most and that is Victor O'Deepo because I'm well Victor O'Deepo's had a weird 12 months or whatever you want to call it he got offered the contract by the Indiana Pacers He says no they trade him away a part of the the Keras Lever trade to the Houston Rockets and the Houston Rockets Get them because they want him more the Keras Lever and now he's basically not signing an extension He's just want to play for somebody that that wants him even though both of the teams He's just previously paid for a plate for one of them But we know he is going to be traded if he has not traded this at the trade that line I'd be super super surprised and it feels like the Houston Rockets are doing the James Harden trade to basically get Nothing but draft picks if they don't flip Victor O'Deepo for something else But then we have to think about the value of Victor O'Deepo because of course He's still a quality NBA player, but he got offered some big-time money from the Houston Rockets He got offered some big-time money from the Indiana Pacers He was like no now was that because he thinks he's more valuable than that as far as dollars go possibly Or he just has his mindset on one specific team or a couple teams. It's not this so they're looking for a first a Young talented player and what are you gonna see as a theme in today's video? Is there a lot of teams out there that believe that their players are way more valuable than what they are a Team is not giving you a young quality player and a first for a guy That's probably not gonna resign, but there's one team There's one team that I think he will fit perfectly on and that is the New York Knicks I feel like I have built I'm not a guy that's gonna go into the trade machine and try to make trades I do that on 2k. I have no idea value of players in real life It's so hard because I got it I would pay a lot for probably not getting traded for a lot So the trade for Victor O'Deepo is very very simple for the New York Knicks It makes sense to because the Knicks as good as they are there They're trying to make that push to continue to be a playoff team and give the New York Knicks fans Something to roof for at the end of the day by making the playoffs their team that also struggles to score the ball at times There have been times recently where they score like 18 points in a fourth quarter. That is Unacceptable Victor O'Deepo is a two-way player that can score the ball still and I think it wouldn't be that crazy to be able to Convince Victor O'Deepo to stay in the in the mecca. You know, I feel like once once players are there They want to stay there because that's how nice of a city it is. That's how nice Madison Square Garden is So here's the trade I put together Houston Rockets fans may not like this but again, you're trading away a one-year player. Not even this is a half a season rental probably Victor O'Deepo for one of the poor Zingas picks from the Dallas Mavericks Kevin Knox and Austin Rivers trade machine says it works and it gives the Houston Rockets that young player and Kevin Knox because I Wouldn't give up on Kevin Knox. You say he can shoot the ball You know I'm saying and he just needs a lot of PT probably some some experience and Tom But it was not giving anybody experience. He wants to win win win So you get the young talented player potentially you get the first round pick or one of the picks in a poor Zingas trade And then Austin Rivers is there to make the money match up because the New York Knicks don't have a ton of money on the book so they can take in a contract like Victor O'Deepo And now you have another two-way wing to put on the court with RJ Barrett you have your your point guard and Elfer Payton dare grow slash Emmanuel quickly playing some on guard and off guard And now your team looks like not just a playoff team But a decent playoff team and maybe teams don't really want to see in the first round You know I'm saying so that's just that's the Victor O'Deepo trade for me Move on to the next team that is really out there wild and when it comes to their trade value players That is the Orlando Magic Erin Gordon walked into the office I guess today was like I requested a trade even though his name has been a trade rumors for about two months now But he said it first he requested a trade and he will probably get moved all the rumors that I see people are saying that They're 75 80% sure that Erin Gordon is gonna be on a different team come Thursday Which is beautiful because I'm I'm still on Erin Gordon mountain, bro I do believe that Erin Gordon can be a way better player the way he has showcased in Orlando Orlando has his history and least recently where they are draft a guy and don't put the right pieces around him for him Him to succeed at the end of the day Erin Gordon is most likely a four slash small ball five But guess what they ran him at small four for a chunk of his career They drafted Jonathan Isaac who was also a four but these are two of your top players So you got to play him on the court at the same time So now either Jonathan Isaac is out of position or Erin Gordon is out of position You can't play Erin Gordon at the small ball five because boost if it's their best player and he's always in the court So I do believe that Erin Gordon going to a team that allows him to thrive And we showcased that playmaking skills because there was earlier either earlier this season or last season They allowed him to play like point forward and he's playing very very well There's still a lot in the tank for Erin Gordon But the asking price form is ridiculous the asking price for him for Evan for me a for Terrence Ross These are all guys that might get traded from your lendo magic They're looking for young players plus picks plus all of this And it's kind of insane. I don't know where Erin Gordon ends up I feel like there's a lot of teams out there that can convince themselves to make a trade for Erin Gordon And and he will be moved But I just don't know where that is the next team on to talk about was the the Sacramento Kings, right? Because I don't really know what the Sacramento Kings are doing Let me explain to you all the rumors last season have come out about the Sacramento Kings over the past couple weeks Harrison Barnes was linked to the bosses Celtics and a couple of the teams then a they shut that down He's basically untouchable. Okay, they shut down any trade offer that has to do a buddy. He'll he's basically untouchable But then they throw the then they throw in Marvin Bagley in trade room. It's like, yeah We know we're not in love. We picked him over Luca Dancers, but you can probably pry him from away from our team They're in this spot. Oh, we're Sean Holmes is also in trade talks right now. So are you selling? Are you keeping? Are you buying like what is the direction for this team? I feel like we all believe That this team is super young, right? They have a super young team But in reality, they really don't have that young of a team deer and fox a Tyrese Halliburne Marvin Bagley These are young players buddy. He'll does not as young as me and you think he is You know I'm saying for some homes is not as young as me and you think he is Harrison Barnes It's actually younger than I thought I thought he was in his 30s, but um, he's like 27 You know I'm saying so they have a veteran team that still can't win games So should they be selling and hitting that reset again about building around deer and fox and and and Tyrese Halliburne Is their backcourt probably but it'd be it'd be hard to convince the fans after 25 years of missing the playoffs it feels like they were gonna hit the reset again Again, and it's hard to look at what Marvin Bagley's done and Marvin Bagley is very far from a bad player I don't I don't want you to miss my words here. He's very far from a bad player But if you're trading Marvin Bagley now, it's you're not getting a lot in return You just aren't so you're gonna trade him now, but keep Harrison Barnes and buddy healed but trade Rashon Oh, I don't understand what the Kings are doing. I don't think they understand what they are doing They still have Luke Walton as the coach so that tells you everything you need to know the Toronto Raptors Man, I have a lot of things on this list right here So this is probably gonna be a longer video But so buckling ladies and gentlemen the Toronto Raptors and the last video that we created I told you that the Toronto Raptors one of those teams that are at a cross role What do they do with Cal Larry? He said he wants to retire as a Toronto Raptor, which he probably will but it might be on a one-day contract He said himself that the trade deadline is his birthday So he don't care what happened because he's gonna be celebrating his birthday But I could definitely see both routes where you keep Cal Larry Which is what it came out that they are not looking to trade Cal Larry But it might be his best interest because I don't know if you really enjoy the the Philadelphia 76er package Or you really like the the Miami heat package But as far as like allowing him to go out there and try to win another championship Toronto's is not the place for that in his older age But again, he's such a big part of the team is such a big part of the culture He'll mess around to have a statue built outside in Toronto like that's how big of a player He has been for this organization So you kind of want to do right by him by maybe trading them But you also have this attachment to the player which I completely understand So even if Cal Larry's not traded executives have also said that they're 80% sure that the Norma Powell would get traded And when I when I made the video a few days ago, that wasn't really on my radar But it makes sense. I mean he's on the last year of his deal He has a player option worth like 11 million. He has outperformed that contract 100% so he will hit free agency He's going to get paid so maybe you cash in on him now while his trade value is an all-time high He's been linked to teams like I've seen the Dallas Mavericks. I've seen the Atlanta Hawks But if I'm trying to make a trade, I don't know what the trade package is for Norma Powell Center trade going somewhere else. What do the Toronto Raptors really look for right? And I guess that is a big man play because Chris Boucher is really good But he doesn't really defend the bigs like you want him to he's a very thin frame guy and he fouls a lot So maybe it is a package around getting a center that they can build with when you look at the teams that he's linked to They don't have that you're not ready for Willie Collison. You're not trading for brutal Fernando So I don't know but people believe he's 80% 80% sure that he will get though And this is why I really love the trade deadline period because even when you see that number 80% chance You don't really know where it's what's gonna be it can be a team out of left field that that hasn't been linked to him Just yet pulls the trigger to make a trade for him. I can see New York trying to put together a trade for him Yeah Yeah, depending on depending on how New York really values Mitch Robinson You talk about a young center for for a team to grow with I don't know. I don't know That's just me thinking off the top of my head. Um, yeah So let's talk about the Atlanta Hawks next because they have made by none of its available in trades already They just signed up to that big old contract like 18 million per year And I think he has like a 15% trade kick or two, which is kind of it's kind of if he he's been on and off the Season he missed a lot of time with the injury and and recently with the team being very good He's been stepping it up And that's what makes the Atlanta Hawks such an interesting team right now because they have got hot right before the trade that Like John Collins had been in trade rumors They said the Kim Reddish is available by Donovan's is available But like if your team is looking this solid Understand their strength of schedule over the past week and a half where they own this a-game win streak has been trashed LeBron messed up his ankle, which is crazy in a game where we were trying to see how good the Atlanta Hawks really are He messed up his ankle so they get a win there, too It's weird to see these trade rumors around his team because they are playing so well I can't imagine them making a big-time trade When they're looking good on the name McMillan with this team I just say you pay Galanari you pay back Donovan's you you made some other other investments around it So understand trying to trade John Collins before you have to pay him a max contract But it seems like everything that I've read through the rumor mill is that the the trade packages that they're getting offered are trash So just you know I said just keep them Kim Reddish is a player if I am a team on a read if I am the Detroit Pistons if I am the Cleveland Cavaliers Am I any of these teams that are really in a rebuild? I will take a stab at Kim Reddish because we knew that when they drafted Deondra Hunter and and Kim Reddish together One of them probably wasn't gonna pan out on their team because they played the same position and Deondra Hunter is the guy He's been really really good. So Kim Reddish in the trade package I will I would take that shot because I do believe there's a lot of potential and Kim Reddish The Chicago Bulls are interesting to me not just because they are my favorite team But we have so many young players that could be valuable on the market We have to make a decision Are we making a playoff push or are we trying to take a step back and take a look at the lottery? Because I could see both both paths man And I wouldn't be mad at whatever decision we make but if the boys do not make a trade at the trade deadline I would be hurt to my heart. I'm not I'm not telling you which players should be traded But the team right now is just not orchestrated for any of those two things It's not it's not bad enough that we can hit the lottery and potentially hit a top five pick It's not good enough to to make the playoffs unless you count the 10 seat is really the playoffs So they have to make a decision and with Laurie marketing being a restrictive free agent and him playing very very good Some teams are going to convince themselves to pay him There's a lot of money on the market right now and restrictive free agent is going to be insane Some team is giving Laurie market a $20 million this offseason So we have to make a decision is he worth that investment or do we trade him away right now? Why is that an all-time high? Boston Celtics 100% got to make a trade and if they don't get Danny ain't jazzed out of that front office Because you have a $17 million trade exception that goes away If you don't use it the biggest in NBA history and they're always linked to these players If they called about Jeremy Grant, they called about Aaron Gordon They called about Harrison Barnes Some some deal has to be done for them because as we've talked about they're a piece away two pieces away I don't really know they have to make a decision and $17 million every 48 also has been a player that has been linked to them They have a decent amount of younger players that I think teams can convince themselves are worth Taking an investment on so they better if oh my god Satisfants I would be in your corner if y'all didn't make a trade this office or this this trade that line Whoo the Clippers are piece away and they've been calling about everybody. They've been linked to really good players. How? What the hell are you offering me? for John Collins What are you offering me? For my point guard because that's what you really need. What do you what do you have you can't trade me Zubat? It's probably your most valuable asset because he's young and he's good because you trade him away You just got surge and no other big you you kept putting cabin jelly in a seven game serious Probably not you don't have anything of value to me You gave up every first round pick in your franchise history to get Paul George So they've been linked here linked there link. How how are you gonna? If they pulled off a dramatic trade to get significantly better, I'm giving all the praise to Is it Jerry West? I don't remember who's running that team. He deserves it Who if they could pull off a trade he deserves it But they are a piece away from being like look that to me because obviously the two stars Paul George and Kauailin are amazing But the rest of the roster is kind of effing me. Um, so I don't really know Are you trading Lucan are you just extended him? You just I don't know Grizzlies have too much talent They have too many players that should be in a rotation that may not get the minutes that they deserve So I don't know if that means you package two of those players together And you try to get a better player or you sell them and get back picks because they could go in either direction too Because they're they're young enough to to be able to hit the lottery and be fine You know I'm saying and if you trade two of those pieces away and you give back draft picks If you trade the right pieces, you're still a good enough team because you have player 12 on a roster That's good enough John Contrarch and play rotational minutes. You know I'm saying so I don't know if they make a trade They've already been talking about Gorgie Zhang trying to get rid of him or buying him out Biomarket is going to be something interesting too for a team like the Lakers who's next on my list because they don't really have much unless you're trading Talon Horton Tucker, which I doubt they're gonna do especially with LeBron being injured I doubt they make any big decisions, but the the biomarket will be solid for them The Lamello got injured Lonzo isn't trade talks I would love to see Lonzo in the Bulls jersey But I don't see why the pellicats would trade him now especially since he's playing the best basketball of his life right now And he actually does fit with their start players. I've never really understood it You know when his name doing in the rumors about a month or so ago because he does fit so well with Zion and my personal opinion when I'm watching him play but I already know Spencer then what he is another trade piece on the market the Bulls have been linked to him I know I keep mentioning the Bulls, but it's a I'm all in the Bulls rumor meal because it's my team And Spencer then we such a good player, but obviously he's injured for this season He has a player option this offseason which he's probably gonna decline because everybody knows that Spencer then what he's good He averaged 20 points per game last season, but this is another trade piece for the Brooklyn That's to just get better I'm not saying the team is giving up a lot for for getting Spencer then what he who's also injured But they're gonna get another rotation of peace if they trade him away, which I think they will trade him away Next we have no DeMar deRosen rumors That was my list. I haven't heard a single thing about DeMar deRosen Al Horford Lamarcus had the thing I don't know if they're gonna end up buying them out but no rumors around him But those are all the things are on my mind for the trade that line I feel like I'm missing the chunk of it, but we're already at 17 minutes So we'll leave it at that Let me know what you would like to see your favorite team do at the deadline buy sale What pieces would you be targeting because hopefully things get get ramped up and as trade starts to roll in of course I'll be here reacting to them and let you know what I think about them. All right. Thank you so much for watching Colgan
