 Hi everybody, Joe for Jaspy's Case Breaks.com. I come at you with little hoops right here. 21, 22, Panini Recon Basketball. Six bucks, half case, pick your team number four. All card ship, looking for top rookies like this guy. Low numbered cards, nice autographs, short printed hollow dots, parallels, all that fun stuff. This is the second half of the case that we popped open on too long ago. Remember I marked those with Xs so we know they're from the same case. Big thanks to this group for making it happen on Monday the 8th. Gretchen with that last spot mojo pistons. She knows that 70% of the time, last spot mojo hits 100% of the time. So we'll see. If you have a little rooftop next to name, that means you won that in that team random, that filler that we did. All right, good luck. Seems like a good cross section of old school autographs and of course the rookies that we're trying to chase here as well. And I think design wise, I feel like a nice improvement from last year. So a nice set forward, nice evolution from last year. Last year was fine. This year's better. Maybe next year will be even better than this year. I think recon's been pretty nice. Now we're kind of in a no man's land for basketball. A lot of the draft is over, summer league is over, a lot of free agency stuff trades a lot of those pretty much have taken place. I guess we just have to figure out what's going to happen with Kevin Durant, if anything, Kyrie, if anything. You know, so we're all kind of in a holding pattern, it seems. All right, I did pull up the calendar, the NBA calendar. So we'll take a look at that when we're ripping open the next box. And of course all cards, ship, future legends, John Morant and a redemption. Any guesses on this redemption, ladies and gentlemen? For bragging rights. What's going to happen with him? There's Larry Bird to 2.99. It's for the Celtics, Simon. There's a Cade Cunningham rookie car that will be for Gretchen and the Pistons. Let's see if we can find like a low number of that or maybe some ink. Kevin Porter Jr. 1.99 for the Rockets. That'll be for Eric. Josh Giddy, Maneuvers, that looks pretty cool. Michael Bridges to 2.99. Josh Giddy's going to go to Grant. We've got David Duke Jr. Rookie Autograph for Brooklyn. That'll be for Michael L. To 99, Bones Highland. And Maneuvers insert Steph Curry. All right, no guesses on the redemption so we'll just reveal it. It is Anthony Davis. Called to excellence. This has got to be Lakers' edition of Anthony Davis, right? Sometimes, let's just double check just to make sure. I'm almost certain that it is but sometimes they do something a little different. GroupbreakChecklist.com, Recon Basketball, Anthony Davis, called to excellent signatures. A Laker. Who's got my Lakers? That'll be Stephen Flack. Got randomized the Lakers and that team are random. P.M. LeBron can say healthy. Westbrook plays like the league average basketball. With some of the youngsters that they have on that, I guess. Could be interesting. But my Lakers very thin margin of error. Pretty much everything would have to go right. League calendar. Let's see, where are we at here? In the free agent house late June. Early July, free agent to contracts. Summer league. So I guess September 9 and 10 will be the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Triment Weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts. September 30th and October 2nd, Warriors Wizards to play an NBA Japan games. 2022, so that'll be interesting. Raptors and, uh, Bucks. Sorry, Raptors Jazz to play in the NBA Canada series in early October. October 6th and 8th. Milwaukee Bucks, Hawks to play in Abu Dhabi games. It's all those Raptors and Celtics play NBA Canada series. I think those are all pre-season games, I want to say. Oh, there's a Paris game this year too. Pistons and Bulls will be playing in Paris in January. All-Star game is in February in Salt Lake City. Yeah, it looks like early October. We're gonna start to see all those late September, early October is when we'll start to see. So I guess training camp in early September, mid-September. It's Miles Turner to 99 for the Pacers. That'll be for Jeremy and we'll start seeing some early training, some pre-season games and we'll get into the regular season. Patty Mills to 299. I like that Josh Giddy rookie insert card. Looks pretty sharp, Grant with OKC. Another redemption, any guesses here? Anyone out there, the guess? To tell you what, I'll give everybody one guess. And if you guess the player correctly, one and one and one only one guess or else your entry will be validated. I'll give you $10 a break credit to jaskyscasebreaks.com if you're registered to the site, there's Lugendorpe 299 for the Thunder, that'll be Grant. Tyler's gonna guess Kyrie, Rebel's gonna guess John Moran. Also, people are out there. There's Aaron Wiggins, seven out of 99. That'll be for the Thunder, that's gonna be for Grant. To 199 Malik Monk and there's Kyrie Irving maneuvers. Guess window closed. All right, it's gonna be Joe Engle. I don't think anyone guessed Joe Engle. Kyrie, Joss, Scotty Barnes, Myles, Anthony Davis, Lamello, Joe Engles. That's gotta be, what is it? Glorify Sanctures, that's Blazers edition. Blazers on the checklist. Portland Trail Blazers, that's gonna be for EA Sports. It's in the game. All right, next box. And we really need some basketball action to happen here. One's a Lakers first preseason game. October 3rd, hosting the Kings. Tyler, said Joe Engles, but the autocorrect change is Kyrie. Tyler Carter, you need to upgrade your phone. So those errors don't happen. Cost you $10 in break credit to jassbeescasebreaks.com. All right, next box. Got KCP for the Wizards, a 299 for Han. And more for Portland. It's a rookie auto, Trendon Watford, six out of 49. Another one for EA and Portland. And a Josh Giddy Autograph, 16 out of 35. Nice, Grant Backer with OKC. Tyler, yes, as I am a Dodgers fan, what's my reaction on Padres getting Soto and Hater? First of all, I was surprised. There's Sadiq Bay to 99 for Detroit. I was surprised that Milwaukee gave up Josh Hater. That was a little surprising. I don't know, Soto hasn't really helped. Well, Padres at all, they haven't scored very many runs since they got them. There's Josh Richardson to 289, and Scotty Barnes for Toronto. That's for Han. Now, that's gonna be a scary lineup. Once Fernando Tatis Jr. is back and healthy, that's definitely gonna be a very scary lineup, but they've got to execute now. So 199, Robert Covington. I don't know, that's gonna be a scary team. The pitching could be got, though, right? I think some of the starters are not as, I guess you, Darvish, is pretty good, but yeah, that's gonna be a scary team. All right, we are halfway through this half-case break. Three more boxes to go, about another, another, what, 10, 12 minutes or so. Tyler's saying, hey, today, but I think the Astros get it done. You see, yeah, that Astros pitching is pretty great. I know this is a basketball break, but not too much basketball going on, so let's switch gears a little bit here. Looks like World Series odds. Dodgers are still favored by most books. Plus 300, 350 to 360, depending on where you're at. Yankees are about close to four to one, plus three, 80ish, 375, 380 around there. Astros are about four to one, then it's the Mets about five-ish to one, Padres are about 10 to one, although I think they were like 15 or maybe even 20 to one. And after the Soto and Bell and Hater moves, I think their odds got a lot shorter. Then the Braves, then the Blue Jays, Cardinals, Brewers, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, Vegas agrees, the Astros are right up there. Boston Reeves, nice. Julius Randall's 99, some talk about Julius Randall maybe making his way back to LA somehow. And there is Jason Preston, rookie autograph for the Clip Show, Steven Flap for the Clippers. Yeah, we could see a really incredible MLB playoff season, maybe an all-time great, Tyler's saying. It's Kevin Huter, 11 out of 49. Destin for Greatness, autograph for the ATL, that's for Michael L. We'll have to see how the, I'm interested to see how the new Wildcard slash playoff format plays out as we get close to the end of the season. Like what kind of storylines happen there? To 299, Darius Basely for the Thunder, Miss Davion Mitchell, Red Velvet, do they call Kevin Huter Red Velvet, is that what you're saying, Oliver? Yeah, I'm not sure what Kevin Durant's end game is. I mean, he wants to get traded, I guess. I don't know, but like, but I mean, he's smart enough to know that it's gonna be pretty hard to trade at Kevin Durant. I mean, but he's the one that wanted to go there in the first place. Lamello Bald, 299. What's people's, do people like, do we like Kevin Durant? I don't know, if LeBron said the same things Kevin Durant did, I feel like ESPN would melt down. You know, basketball, Twitter would melt down. I don't think LeBron's ever demanded a trade. I think all of his moves were like three agent moves, right? I don't know, I mean, for me, I kind of hope that this, whatever happens, it just kind of gets resolved because there's Wendell Carter Jr. I feel like there's probably a lot of deals that are kind of still pending or potential trades or other moves are kind of pending because everyone's waiting on the Kevin Durant domino to fall, you know, once that, you know, once team knows or they're in or out of the Kevin Durant sweepstakes, you know, then maybe they can, so okay, then we can now move on and try to make some moves. I guess I'm thinking of my team, Lakers. Ms. Jalen Johnson, 299. I don't know if they're in on Kevin Durant. I think maybe they're closer to getting, you know, maybe they've got a shot at Kyrie, but I think that domino doesn't fall until Kevin Durant figures out what he's doing. So things are kind of in limbo. Here's Alexi Pokhosevsky, 67, 99, 99. This is not in limbo. This is gonna go directly to Grant, go Grant. So I feel like once that's resolved, then we can kind of figure out how the rest of, you know, what other moves could be made in the league, but now we're just kind of, kind of wait and see. And I'm just like, well, let's just, come on, Kevin, in the Nets, let's figure it out. Come on, Kevin, in the Nets, let's figure it out. There's JT Thor, 2 out of 49. By the hammer of Thor, I would draw, I would, my autograph, my last name was Thor. I'd draw like a little hammer right there. That Charlotte, Brian. Kevin Uter, 2.99. New shooting guard for the Sacramento Kings. All systems go insert, Josh Giddy. All right, final box. Yeah, or like the T of Thor, would you draw a hammer? Good call, Oliver. Yeah. You would kind of, right, maybe, he's got two T's. Which T would be the, I think I would kind of do like a JT, something like that. You'd make that the hammer, right? I think the media is putting words in KD's mouth. I don't know, that's, those are some, those are some, some serious comments. Are they stirring things up? I mean, it's, ultimatums like that. I mean, that's, that's, that's pretty concrete. You know, if that's not coming from Kevin Durant's camp, I think Kevin Durant is giving words for the media. I mean, he hasn't really been out and out quoted, I feel like he's like leaking this stuff to the media. In a face-to-face meeting with the Nets owner, Joe Psy in London on Saturday, star forward Kevin Durant reiterated his desire to be traded and gave Psy an ultimatum report. Shams Carania of the Athletic. According to Carania, Durant told Nets owner that he needs to choose between trading him or firing general manager Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash. Durant says he doesn't have faith in the team's direction, so he has to tell the Athletic. I mean, I don't, I don't know what else. That's pretty clear. It's not like Carania is saying, I heard from so-and-so, who heard from so-and-so. Shams is saying, oh, I guess sources with direct knowledge of the meeting, that's what, that's, that's the source. So it's not just speculation. It's Kobe White to Tuna and, you know, even as cynical as you could be about the media, it's kind of, that's pretty, that's the kind of, you're not making stuff like that up because those are some pretty heavy words. It's Mitchell Robinson to 99. And if it was wrong, Kevin Durant hasn't come out and out and out and said no. He's not saying no, that's not true. So his silence speaks volumes. 001 out of 199, that is everyone's favorite. Grace and Allen, everyone's favorite, right? Milwaukee Bucks drew with the Milwaukee Bucks. Although he's playing, playing pretty decently. It's Jason Tatum to 299. Dirk Nowitzki to 199. Tyler St. Grace Allen looks British to you. Does he, does he have the look of an Englishman? Yeah, you all right, Yonis? You all right? Yeah, maybe. Absolutely chuffed to be playing alongside you, Yonis. There's Kate Cunningham. Absolutely chuffed. And there's Isaiah Jackson, rookie autograph of the Pacers, and Jeremy, that's our last autograph of the Pick Your Team number four. Thanks everybody for hanging with me. And thanks everybody on this list for joining the breaks. Pretty solid break, more recon in the store if you wanna get after it, jaskyskatesbreaks.com. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.
