 All right, yo, it's good everyone Nick Smith is back welcome to a new rebuild today I'm gonna be rebuilding the Memphis Grizzlies. They're in such a tough conference that like I Don't know they're up against the Clippers. Obviously the Warriors dispersed the Thunder they can't win like it's impossible for them to win So this is a team that really needs to rebuild for the future So I guess it's it's time just to go after some first round picks That's what I think we're gonna do. So let's go after some first-round picks to start out this series. Okay, here it is This is actually better than this is better So the trade is we get rid of our 2016 first-round pick two second round picks Birdman Jamaican Green for the Washington Wizards 2016 2017 2018 first-round pick JJ Hickson and Drew Gooden I will take that trade right there. We're gonna be loaded with Washington picks So yeah, hopefully the Washington Wizards don't do that. Well now, let's go after I'm just trying to rack up these picks right here I really just want to rack up on picks because I know they're gonna come in handy and look how much salary we Like look how much caspates we save 10 million Plus map arms. We get Adrian Payne and a Minnesota first-round pick. I will make that trade definitely So now we've got we got a we still got a lot of pigs left got two 2016 pigs I want to see if I can get an Atlanta Hawks first-round pick actually Lance Stevenson Do I get rid of Lance Stevenson? I Might even do that. Yeah, I'll do because Lance Stevenson like if we want Lance Stevenson We can just get him back at the end of this season in free agency like we don't need Lance Stevenson We're not gonna win a championship this season. Anyway, I know that so there's no point trying to like Trying to trade for plays that will help us win a championship when I think we need a trade for plays that will help us In the future if you know what I mean, like we want to get some first-round picks So I'll take this trade. I'll take this trade. We I'll definitely take that trade like PJ Harrison. He's alright But now we're loaded on pigs. We've got a 2016 dimmels Sacramento Washington and Atlanta first-round pick and then what if we took your 2019 pick? Ryan Hollens for Joel Anthony. I'll take this we get that 2016 2017 and 2019 first-round pick we get rid of Jordan Adams 2019 and a 2017 Wizards first-round pick. I will take that. Alright, so now that's pretty much it for the For the trays of the pigs. We have a lot of first-round pigs right now. We've got 2016 Timberwolves Kings Pistons Wizards Hawks 2017 Pistons 2019 first-round Pistons and a 2018 second round and we've pretty much just kept Most of the guys on the team now. I can see that we have a lot of centers. Holy crap. You got one two three four Five and we got Tiago splitter on a two-year massive contract. You got a go son now It's just time to clear up the cap space and Then we can start the season I'm gonna make this trade only because I think it's gonna be easier to get rid of grievous fast squares after Instead of having Tiago splitter on a massive contract because there's literally like no good trades for Tiago It's glitter and all I all I really want to do is just get rid of players that have a lot of A lot of our cast space so if we get rid of them then we can go into free agency and hopefully sign some good players So let's see if we can get somebody on a cheaper contract then Grievous fast this isn't bad right there. I'll probably take that trade The aim of this is just to not get rid of any first-round pigs And I think that I will definitely take this trade right here So we save like six million six million in in cast space with that So now let's go back to the trade We will keep obviously these three guys because they're they're the Memphis guys like they're the guys that probably won't get traded Apart from Mike Conley because he was actually predicted to maybe go to a different team during this year's Trade deadline, but he never ended up going anywhere Brandon Wright three year 17 million dollars He might be on the move and apart from that It might just be Drew Gooden and that's about it We get a first-round pick out of this Okay, I'll take that. Thank you very much. I'll take a first-round pick We'll just have to get rid of our obeys now But that shouldn't be too hard right and our team chemistry is gonna be so bad It's gonna be crazy like our team chemistry is gonna be absolutely terrible Just don't give up a first-round pick This is the trade I need to make unless there's anything else that's good that comes up Tyson Chandler, but he's on a huge contract. Yeah, I will I'll take that trade right here Markel Brown welcome to I could even I could ask for a second round pick out of that as well I came across this trade row here. It's just another second round pick that we can take in so I will take that Thank you for a second round pick. I don't expect to win many games. We have seven percent team chemistry That's the worst I've ever seen anyone have in terms of team chemistry So expect our expect our record to be really bad But yeah, we're gonna simulate to the halfway point of the season and yeah Let's see how many wins we can get all right So at the halfway point of the season our team chemistry has gone up a lot I mean it was at seven percent now or it's seventy nine percent. So a lot better If we go to the standings conference standings, we're doing pretty bad. All right. We're last. We're last But let me say this though the Clippers and the Spurs they are doing that great either now I honestly predict we can go from last into the playoffs I'm saying I'm saying because you have to understand our team chemistry was so bad. It was so bad seven percent We got so many losses at the start of this season that Like it's not like we can actually come back like we have the worst record in the league 17 and 36 but watch us make it to the NBA playoffs. Okay. Watch us make it Okay, maybe maybe not maybe we didn't make it to the playoffs But that's that's just all part of the plan. It's all part of the plan. This team needs a full rebuild Okay, because we're not good enough to win a championship like it's um It's so hard like I'm not saying this because I don't like the Memphis Grizzlies I don't mind it's good like I've got nothing against them. It's just literally like The conference that you're in It's so hard for you to do well when you're mashed up against the Spurs the thunder the Clippers the Warriors With the roster the like I didn't even chase the roster really like I kept Microsoft Conley Randolph I mean, I kept some of these guys Just those three really but like it yeah, but like did they're just not good enough. All right Straight up. I want him like they're just not good enough to uh to win a championship and Yeah, we didn't make it so we might as well just simulate Conrad or actually know which simulate the whole playoffs right here. I'm guessing the thunder with him I don't reckon the Warriors Okay, yeah, bring me wrong. I see Warriors. She should never doubt the Warriors. Okay, my heat managed to be a follow That's pretty good, but Now this is where it gets it. This is where it gets exciting Kobe retires Duncan. Exciting Duncan. Exciting. What? Gay G retires Kobe retires Duncan retires for Pierce retires Dirk and Vince Carter retired So that's a lot of really good players all these guys go into the Hall of Fame and now we're going into We're going into the draft lottery right here. We're going into the draft lottery. We better be here somewhere Okay, where are we projected to go? second 4th 8th Please be First all right, so we're projected to go eighth right here Probably will and we do so we got the eighth overall pick We're projected to go here. Please not us. Please not us. Dang. We got fourth pick now We gave the wizards this pick And we end up going second The wizards and okay, this is weird, but the wizards We swapped picks with the wizards, right? They went first. We got second Bruh, but it's not that bad because we also got there like that 20 We got like heaps of their picks like I don't you can't see yet but we got there 2016 2017 and 2018 and We'll be good by 2017 and 2018 if you know what I mean, so it's actually not that bad I don't really want to get rid of any one of these guys. There's no point We might as well just head into the draft see who goes number one I'm guessing Ben Simmons We we really need a point. No, we need a small forward I was about to say point guard and I realized we got Conley. We need a small forward on this team, so Who goes first? Ben Simmons. Here's a small forward. You can't get Ben Simmons, but it's all good We can we can take Brandon Ingram. So actually we'll have a look at what's been offered for the second overall pick Pick three why don't take that Marcus Oldridge I'm good. I'll take I will take Chris Dunn's there. Chris Dunn's a beast though. Chris Dunn. How tall is he six four? Can he play shooting guard? Actually, no, buddy Healds there buddy Heald is there. I Really want buddy Heald We need a shooting guard and a small forward I'm okay. I'll take buddy Healds right here and then with my fourth pick I'll either take Jaylen Brown or Brandon England. All right, that's what that's what's happening So we get we get the boy buddy Heald, which is awesome. I'll take buddy Heald He's a shooting guard. We need a shooting guard. So that is awesome. Welcome to the team buddy Heald If you guys haven't seen buddy Heald knock down these three is he's a crazy three-point shooter So welcome to the team buddy Heald and now I really hope Brandon Ingram doesn't get all that's been a trade The Hornets trade camera walk to the 76ers. Please Hornets do not take Well, they need a point guy, right? They took my guy. That sucks. All right, so since we need a small forward Let me take Jaylen Brown. So yeah, we got Jaylen Brown. He's our new small forward and That should be good and I'm pretty sure we're up quite soon, right? We're pick eight. So yeah We're here. We got another first round pick and this is where I might look to trade it I might look to trade our pick away and Get something else. I actually wanted to go after a power forward in the draft but Derek favors is there. That's a great trade We take we trade away our eighth overall pick and we get Derek favors Which I think they'll help us out because Zach Randolph is getting old and we still have our 18th pick So I'll see you guys once we have to go to our 18th overall pick I might actually I'll take Demetrius Jackson. I heard a bit about him So yeah, let's actually similar to the end of the draft and I'll show you guys who I got All right, so let's go to the rookie signings. We ended up getting buddy healed Jaylen Brown and Demetrius Jackson So I think this has been a very successful draft because not only do we get those rookies. We got Derek favors and Yeah, that's awesome Derek favors. He can do some work for us I mean, I think he might be a guy that we look to trade But I'm not gonna accept AC not gonna accept block. I think we're good to go into Into free agency Mike Conley Let's let's go into free agency. And if we need to get somebody in free agency Like if we can't then we'll go after Mike Conley, but if we can then Okay, let's offer Mike Conley a contract right here just to be safe Let's offer him 10.5 10.5 over four years see what he says. That's the team. That's the roster. We literally have to go after a whole bunch of guys So let's do this. We don't really need to go after a After a big man like we got big men, but I would love to trade One of them. You know what I mean? Like I would like to use them as trade value What do you think LeBron says? Do you reckon LeBron wants to why go after LeBron? No trade clause. I haven't got LeBron ever ever ever in in a my in a my league series So, let's see what he says. No trade clause for LeBron We'll offer Rhonda contract right here Why not? Why not offer Rhonda contract? We'll offer Conley contract. Oh, we already did We'll offer Hassan just because we can use them as trade value We'll offer Boba my Jonovitch a contract We'll offer Jeremy Lam a contract because we just need to get a whole bunch of guys to help us out Jeremy Lin back up point guard Lance Stevenson for all the guys that were upset that I didn't keep him. There you go J.R. Smith a nice shooting guard and let's see who signs with us and who doesn't So Hassan accepted another offer And all these guys are Like yo, yo, yo, I've got LeBron James yet Haven't ever got him in a my GM. I Think I want to get LeBron. I think I do so welcome to the team king I'm happy about that. I'm happy about that like come on now We got the king on this team I haven't ever got him in of my in of my league so for all the guys that will be they'll be like, you know That's so unrealistic. I haven't got him. Okay, never got him. So yeah, that's I got him Okay, I got it. I actually got him. I want to get Conley though. I want to get Conley back So can we can we sign him? He accepted another offer though, but it oh Wow, that sucks. Okay, I'm happy with free agency. Yo, yo, we got the king The king see that's why that's why I went into full rebuild mode I went into full rebuild mode because now we've got the king to take on To take on the the west I guess and the east but like He was already on the east, you know, so yeah, we're gonna go from full tank mode to full base mode with the king right now All right, so I just want to see how well we do with the king on our team So let's simulate to the halfway point of the season and see how many wins we can rack up So at the halfway point of the season, we're doing not not that great, but like It's okay. We're doing decent. We're 29 and 24 Which is obviously I think it's fifth. Wait one two three four five. It's six in the west But it would be like fifth in the east so I don't know like We're not doing that. Well, especially since we have LeBron like you'd hope to do a little bit better But I don't know. There's not really much I can do with this roster. I mean, maybe we can see what Dirk Fabius is worth on the block The thing is like I'm just really waiting on my young guys to develop Which might take a couple seasons because we got Demetrius Jackson Buddy Heald and Jaylen Brown It might take a couple of seasons for these guys to get into the 80s because once we're in the 80s We're gonna rise up and be a really really good team with LeBron and all of our young guys It just might take a couple seasons. So I'm just gonna simulate to the end of the season and see where we end off But once the young guys develop then we'll be really good. Just at the moment. We're not doing too well Wait, so now we're just not even in the Bruh, we didn't even make it into the goddamn playoffs Are you serious right now? Are you actually serious? We didn't even make it. We got Jaylen Brown, Demetrius Jackson Both made it to the all rookie first team and Buddy Heald made it to the all NBA second team and LeBron made it to the all NBA first team and we didn't make the playoffs. Oh, okay. We already skipped over it We got two two guys I'll accept both of these guys I guess. Why not? We might as well Okay, so now I guess we got to Trey Burke see what Trey Burke says and we can get Zach Randolph and Trey Burke signs with another team anyway, so Yeah, don't think we even haven't yet. We don't have enough cast faces on anyone anymore Let's just go to play of aggression. See if any one of our players actually went up We've got Brown, Buddy Heald and Demetrius Jackson all going up along with Lance Anderson going up one, which is actually good because like that just makes our rookies are just developing and By the time we're in like hopefully by the time we're in like Next season hopefully we can do some work in the playoffs We just have to wait for our rookies to develop which will take some time. All right So we're looking a little bit better LeBron still there Favis is still here. Gasol, Randolph, Brown, Heald, Stevenson, Demetrius Jackson all these guys are going up a little bit We still we still got these two rookies that we just signed and we got CJ Watson, Martel Webster and Jeff Adrian but I want to see if maybe if If he's worth anything. I want to see if Derek Favis is worth anything for one last time I really hope he is but something tells me that he's not actually our pick might be pretty good Isaiah Thomas that's not that bad, but we don't really actually we do need we do need a point guard We do actually need a point guard Because we don't have a good point guard. Yeah And we still have Zach Randolph to play on at Power Forward. I will take that trade. Thank you very much Isaiah Thomas welcome to the Memphis Grizzlies So it's a little bit of a different story this season. We're a lot better We are second in the conference second in the West Conference right here Okay sees up top gone states fourth Minnesota's third and I mean second I'll take that Um, and I think we're good. We can simulate to the end of the season like no need to make any trades We're doing pretty well and hopefully we do some work in the in the playoffs MVP goes to Durant This guy lands rookie of the year. I got no idea who that is joking with six man David Smith's defense player here and Jalen Brown. That's most improved He's basing feasting 16 points and they rebounds for Jalen Brown. So this is why this is why you you got to just develop the rookies develop the rookies self-coach of goddamn 80 98 overall, so that's crazy Ben Simmons already makes it to the all NBA second team. That's crazy Wait, do we get LeBron? Where's LeBron? LeBron's not even there. There he is all NBA 13 goes to LeBron right there and LeBron all NBA second team and that is pretty much it. So where are we? We're third finished third So that's awesome. Let's uh, let's Simulate up against the New Orleans Pelicans. So simulate game one we win game one win game to lose game three win game four and Win game five. So we're advancing and you have to be kidding me Yeah, why couldn't the goddamn clippers beat the warriors now we're screwed. Okay. Now we are seriously screwed All right, let's let's sit. You know what? You know what? Let's simulate game one Let's simulate with simcast Please beat the Warriors I'm just hoping that maybe I can hop into the game if it's close just to get us a win But right now it looks like we're gonna actually win this game, but it's really close. Oh No, okay, we have oh my good. Oh, okay hoppin in hoppin in this is where this is where it counts All right, let's do and we have the ball which is awesome But I'm giving it to LeBron. So everybody just got to move the hell out the way Let the train Come through actually, you know what? Let's get a screen by soldier All right, good screen LeBron's there. Okay the double teaming. Oh, no, they're not LeBron up and under up and under there is to ease. That's the king right there It's too easy ties up this game. All we have to do is play good defense, but uh, oh crap How did he just get so that's all of fame. He just like do so it's zoom's past you but um Yeah, let's do pick and roll with Isaiah LeBron and Isaiah. What a connection give it to LeBron right here crossover No, let's get in the post. Oh I could have taken that shot, but I'm I'm back in the post up and under and one One and one that's the key flex on the LeBron flex on it too easy It's the king right there man that see that's just too easy. That's the king First time I'm gonna show you it's on Hall of Fame You know some people always like tell me so that's on Hall of Fame, bro It's always on Hall of Fame if I freaking missed this Okay One point game do not let Clay Thompson or Steph Curry shoot the ball Easiest said the done. I Almost I felt a reach right there. I felt a steal. Oh, why did he get caught up on the screen? Isaiah, what are you doing, bro? Okay LeBron? It's your time to shine. It's your time to shine LeBron from downtown Oh There we go, we take game one guarantee we're gonna lose a series, but oh man, that was a crazy game I'll take that game one. There we go. I'll see you guys in game two. All right. Here. We are Game two.

I'm gonna simulate game right here and we we sweep we sweep him and please Dallas Dallas win Dallas loses All right, here it is now we're up against the freakin thunder the thunder with the rainy four-time NBA MVP and Russell Westwood who's injured for one to two weeks?
