 What's the word, y'all? Yes, they made a video because we thought that poor Ziggas, Malcolm Brogdon and Marcus Morales was a part of this big old three team trade and that trade fell through. And for hours, I contemplated whether or not I should keep my video up, talking about it. And good thing I did because everything I said in the video about poor Ziggas is fit with the Boston Celtics still range true because that trade failed, but not the trade, a more interesting trade ended up happening. And now I'm seeing that the Knicks and the Clippers have talked about a Paul Dorster. Today could be crazy, y'all. Today could be crazy with all of the stuff that could potentially go on. But a more interesting trade happened last night where it was Marcus Smart being a part of the trade going to the Grizzlies and the tights jumps into the world that he wanted to be a starting point guard in the league. So they sent him to the one spot that he could potentially be a starting point guard, which is the Washington Wizards. And now my lawn care service is here. And I wanna go through that. I gotta get this video up. Some people said I was a watch content creator and it made me share one single to because two years ago, can it be to when that trade happened at midnight where the turn on that camera starts to record. It got that video about one o'clock. But nowadays as a father, midnight is time to go to bed. Forget about work. So here we are doing it 10 hours later. And boy, have I had mixed feelings about this one. This is about to be a really good case study for the Boston Celtics dealing with the intangible part of basketball. Cause anybody that watched the Boston Celtics last season can recognize that the Marcus Smart that we got last season not the same as the one that won defensive player the year before that, you know? He had fallen off at least a little bit on both sides. I mean, the things that stayed the same. He's still fiery. He'll still put his body in the line, take charge and try to be the primary defender on the other team's best player. But he, I mean, I felt very confident putting Derek White on my all defensive team over Marcus Smart. So that just tells you something. But again, those intangible things, I think it's sports are real. And we're about to see how real they are because I think a lot of people look at points, rebounds, assists, field goal percentage, 3% is the advanced numbers. And that's how they blow down what an NBA player is when in reality it can be a lot more. I think Marcus Smart embodies that idea of being more than just what you provide on the basketball court. Maybe Brad Sieven saw that the season that we got for Marcus Smart last season and saw that, hey, maybe this is who Marcus Smart is about to become and got rid of him earlier rather than later where his value was still high. Because you gotta think about it. They traded Marcus Smart and got back two first round picks from the Grizzlies. Now, one of those first round picks is the 24th overall pick or something like that. And then the other one is for next season where even though Jon Marant is suspended for 25 games, I feel confident that the Grizzlies is gonna be a good team next season too. So thank, welcome to the video, Coba. So I can see those draft picks be in the 20s. So yeah, you can say whatever about it, but you still turned Marcus Smart into Porzingis in two first round picks. So Brad Sieven said, congratulations again, or maybe not because maybe Marcus Smart meant a lot more to that team than the points, rebounds, and assists. I will let him stay in here, but he's got new tags on his collar and he just makes so much noise just by moving. We already got the long people outside. I can't have him clinging and clackling with the tags. Okay, we're gonna have to shift gears. I'll be back. All right, this is the basement setup. We filmed here in the case of emergency, break of a case of emergency, and here we are. I don't even know where I was at. Let's talk about Marcus Smart with the Memphis Grizzlies, I guess. Because the Porzingis stuff we talked about yesterday and all of that range true to today with his fit alone side, Robert Williams' fit alone side, Al Horford, the reassurance of Al Horford, all is true. The only hiccup that I have with this one is, of course, what did Marcus Smart mean to the organization? And secondarily, there now is a lot of injury risk with this team. Yesterday, we thought it was gonna be Malcolm Brogdon for Porzingis. I was way more comfortable because you get rid of one injury risk for another one. And now you have both of those guys still on the roster. Is there another move to be done with Malcolm Brogdon? From the reports that came out yesterday, it seemed like no team would really be interested because the injury that he's going through is more than meets the eye. So you got him as a health risk, Porzingis as a health risk, and Robert Williams as a health risk, scares me a little bit. But again, you'd be willing to sacrifice half the season from those dudes. If that means come mid of April, you can get 16 straight game wins or whatever it is. So again, something we can monitor a little bit down the line because I'm not completely sure that the Boston Celtics are done. But to flip Marcus Smart to Porzingis at two first round picks on surface level is a dud. I remember when the tweet originally came out that there was two first round picks heading to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Marcus Smart. And I saw a lot of people say that that was an overpay. And I don't necessarily agree. Again, even if we're saying that Marcus Smart this season is the Marcus Smart that you're gonna get if you're the Memphis Grizzlies and you won't get the DPOWA candidate again, I don't think it's an over, we talked about the 24th overall pick this season. And next season though, John Morant is going through 25 game suspension. I feel confident that the Grizzlies is gonna be a good team again. So two picks in the 20s for Marcus Smart. And this is another case of it not being necessarily about on court basketball stuff. Yeah, you're getting ready to tie his Jones who told the world that he wanted to be a starter. But Marcus Smart has the ability to run on ball when John Morant is gone and then slide over and play off guard once John Morant comes back. But deeper than anything, as good as a team, the Memphis Grizzlies have been over the last couple of seasons, there's one part about them that needed to be changed. And that was the maturity level. There were reports from Shoms a month ago with there is no circumstance where Dylan Brooks was coming back. And though that has been refuted by his agent and stuff, it feels like Dylan Brooks is not coming back. This is one of the youngest teams. I think there was a second to third youngest team in basketball and they've had an immense amount of success for a team this young, but they are this young and they lack the maturity. The this going all of that, the greedy in, I'm not saying it should go away, but a guy like Marcus Smart has been this head steady force of a veteran for years. I mean, you gotta think about the veteran in that locker room over the last couple of seasons has been Steven Adams. And I know me and you might see Steven Adams as a 60 year old NBA player. He's not even in his 30s yet. I don't think Marcus Smart is either, but Marcus Smart has had the experience like no other. He's played in the NBA finals. He's played in a million conference finals games. He's been a quality high leverage role player for a very, very long time. And some of that stuff, the locker room stuff for the Grizzlies at least matter way more than the encore stuff. The one thing that scares me a little bit about the encore stuff is that eventually Jamer and Wilcov back and we're talking about as of right now again, we don't know what the rest of the free A&C period is going to look like for the Memphis Grizzlies. We're talking about a lineup that has Jamer and Marcus Smart and Desmond Bain as their top three wing players or their guard wing players. And that's just not big enough, especially in the Western Conference where you're going to go against a Kevin Arendt in a potential series or LeBron James in a potential series. It's, you asking Desmond Bain to do that? No, his wingspan is the same as mine. And he's like seven inches taller than me, nine inches taller than me. I don't know, he's taller than me, but he's got a short wingspan. Marcus Smart has a history of being able to guard the bigger players, but you want him to be your sole recipe, your sole solution to guarding LeBron in a potential playoff series? I hope that's not what you're thinking. So again, this is like the first week of free, or the first week of the off season, they might still have tricks up their sleeve, but I'm a little bit afraid from that standpoint. I personally for their segue to Ziya Williams was a lot better than what he was. Rookie season Ziya Williams is fine, even though I think he had the highest defensive rating of anybody in basketball, he was a rookie. But I remember he had a couple games where he didn't stop Steph Curry, don't make me, that's not what I'm thinking. But there's times he was on Steph Curry and I was like, oh snap, Ziya Williams, defensively looks kind of good. And maybe you hope that year three Ziya Williams is a lot better than year two or a lot better than year one because he could get back into the rotation and maybe play a part with him being six nine. And I heard they even grew a couple inches, so maybe six 10, six 11, long wingspan could potentially help there. But I don't know, they've done a really good job developing talent and maybe Ziya Williams is just the next one to be developed. I think they will miss Ty's Jones, but it had run its course, you know what I'm saying? When you have a player of that caliber, he took the money, shout out to him, he got paid before all of this happened. We knew that there was a world where Ty's Jones is gonna wanna spread his wings. The same thing happened with Monta Morris the previous season. The best backup point guards in basketball are gonna want an opportunity to be starting point guards. And now that I think about it, Monta Morris and Ty's Jones are now in the same team. And one of them is gonna be real pissed that they gotta come off the bench again because I don't think you're starting both of those small guards. But again, it's Washington who are actively trying to be bad. So maybe you do, I don't know. I can see a lot of scenarios where the Grizzlies look back on this and say, hey, this is a dub. My favorite player of the Gritt and Grime Grizzlies was Tony Allen. Chicago's very on, so that plays a part. I love Chicago born players. But he was a former Boston Celtic if you don't remember. And I don't remember when he ended up a part of the Grizzlies. Let me double check. Sheesh, you type in his name and if he played guilty to what? Oh man, I didn't know anything about that. So he ended up in Memphis at the age of 28, 29. And he had years in Boston where he was really solid. But when he got to Memphis, I mean that culture whether he was the one that helped build it or it was already installed, I don't even remember, we're talking 2010. He embodied what it was to be a Memphis Grizzly. And if there's anybody in the current NBA that can do the same thing, it is Marcus Smart. Same to Jack, how does Marcus Smart right now? Hold on, Marcus Smart is 29. That's eerily similar to when Tony Allen ended up there too. If there's anybody that will embody what it is to be Memphis, to embody the Gritt and Grime, to embody the city, it will be Marcus Smart. You know what I'm saying? That is another thing. We'll see how it all plans out or pans out. I think that Brad Stevens has more tricks up his sleeve and I'm assuming that the Grizzlies, who is it, Zach, who is in charge of, whoever it is over there is probably not done either because as we mentioned, there's probably a whole at the small four, just a big old wing that you can have. And I ain't talk about David Roddy. That's a different kind of big, you know what I'm saying? But again, this is one of those trades. And I know a lot of you say that Kenny, you're over-optimistic with a lot of trades. I just, I like player movement, man. I just really, really do. And this is one of those player movement deals where I think both teams look at it and say, hey, we got what we wanted. Did we give up two first round picks for Marcus Smart? Yeah, but we don't really care because we're the Grizzlies and we're good, you know? The boss itself is drafted with that pick should be interesting because they have an opportunity with this draft being as deep as it is to draft somebody at the back end that could help them if it's not now, the next season or the year after that. And I envy them for trading into the draft because my favorite team has yet to do that. All right, I'm done. Let me know what you think about this trade. Winners, losers, wizards didn't even get a first round pick. How can you not, as the wizards, try to get one of those picks routed to you? At least in the Marcus Morris trade, you got the 30th overall pick. How can you not say, Brad, you don't need the 24th overall pick this season. Give it here. You can keep the other one. Or you don't need that next one. Give it to something. You got Ty's Jones. Hey, Ty's Jones is really good. And I was asked on a podcast once upon a time, who was the player that you want to see on the Bulls? I could have said Yannis, Jokic, and Bede. I said Ty's Jones. That's who I wanted on my Bulls. He's going to Washington where he can start. A bunch of games for Tina might not win a lot. So let me know what you think.
