 What's the word y'all welcome back. We are here. They want to free ain't just kind of calm actually right before I here Record norman pal got five years 90 million. We're gonna talk about things like that ignore all of this man I'm in between here appointments if you want Kenny content, you got to take me as I am and right now I'm looking a bit dusty. It don't matter I want to talk about they want to free ain't see even though it's still going on I gots to get the talking about and everything I say in this video. It's my own personal opinion Most of it probably gonna be wrong when we look back on it in two years. It don't matter, right? You just want initial reactions. Don't you be sure to leave a like subscribe if you're new first thing before we even talk About individual signing the thing that is on my mind the most more than anything is that I need people out there Y'all are watching this video to understand what's going on in the league right now Now I am very far from a cap expert the bulls is there to deal with Daniel Tice ended up at Houston And that mean more trade exception. I don't understand it But one thing I do understand is that in the year 2021 some of the contracts You see people sign are gonna look ridiculous outrageous because of the name may we talk about 80 million dollars But you really think about it in 2021 That's just the price of players if you're gonna be an above average starter in the year 2021 You're gonna be making between 15 to 20 million and sometimes even more The reason I say that the New York mix sign Evan 48 for years 78 I think it was exactly and people immediately on Twitter is like, yo, what are the nicks doing? What are the I understand it Sure, it might be slightly above what you think Evan 48 is worth, but I'm telling you It's not that bad especially we consider the last year is not guaranteed then there's an option on top of it That's just the way it goes Norman Powell's got five years 90 million Duncan Robison got 90 million This is what the market is Alice Caruso will not be started for the bulls and what do you get 37 38 million So don't necessarily look at the amount of m's a player is making you got to compare it to everything that's going on around That's all I'm really saying that's all I'm really saying I'm not gonna come out here tell you my favorite side of my least favorite side Let's talk about the bulls cuz I know that's what majority y'all are here for I went out to go get an old classic The fire guard pack shirt ain't worth it some years since he got once he got fired once they got fired to left the front office I basically retired this shirt, but today I'm bringing it back out because it's just a reminder of what does bulls fans have to go through for what a decade now I'm not gonna come out here and Tell you that us signing Lonzo ball Assigning Alice Caruso is turning the bulls into a championship continue. Look out league. No But it's a step in the right direction For the last half a decade brother I have been suffering as a bulls fan and with the signings of Lonzo ball and Alice Caruso and more deals to be done I'm saying I am excited for bulls basketball more than I have before and I said that the last two seasons I understand that I completely understand I've said that for two years straight But this is actual moves that I believe can help us out to make a playoff push It's been a long time since I can say I've enjoyed watching the bulls the bulls play I Do believe the addition of Lonzo ball in addition of Alice Caruso help one of the biggest things the bulls struggle with this season It's their perimeter defense bar none our superstar our star play I'm not gonna say superstar our star player in Zach Levine is not known for his defense He just isn't we're starting players alongside of them not known for his defense their defense Lonzo balls knows for his defense as Caruso got some all defensive second team votes These are players that could come in and help us on the defensive side of the ball. How do they overall fit? I think they fit pretty well. I'm not expecting Lonzo ball to be the savior of Chicago I'm not gonna say that but I do believe his defensive impact him being a Great three-point shooter at least last year watch him come to Chicago and be a below average three-point shooter again The last cup one thing you can say about Lonzo ball throughout his careers each single season He has went into the offseason the winter work. Remember this man was shooting like this That doesn't happen anymore. Yes, it's a seal a little bit too aside, but it's it's as fluid as ever I need him to continue to shoot his three-pointers. I need him to let us run with him and Zach Levine on the break Patrick Williams on the break Alice Caruso on the break. We should be a team has getting up and down and running the fast break I need him to defend and I need him his shots. That's it That's that's all I'm really expecting So, yes, I will be there open tonight unless I'm away doing something work-related as long as I'm in the city I will be there for for game number one in Chicago I mean, we'll see what the rest of the offseason looks like for us because right now our roster is coming very far from complete We don't know what Laurie marketing's deal is we don't really know about this trade except for Daniel Tice Or at least I don't know what it's gonna mean. This is just day one a lot of the roster just to see out there Not complete. That's all you need to realize. All right Let's talk about more things the Lakers getting the band back together when I say the band back together That means it's former Lakers players coming back. We got Dwight Howard third time in LA Wayne Ellington who else Trevor Riza if you watch my main channel I told you this was gonna happen. We're like a lot of older players are gonna sign to the Lakers to go on that ring Taste, it's okay, and I said in my video It's gonna be the oldest team in a league and guess what right now That's what it's shaping up to be baby the oldest team in the in the league right now They need some youth in there. That's one thing I can say but oh Oh Oh blade Griffin resize. Okay. No big deal. No big deal. What I'm saying with the Lakers These are the players that you need alongside the team that you built Wayne Allison has always been a great three-point shooter I know Trevor Riza is not as fast or as great defensively as he was three at least three years ago I'm ten years ago, but he's gonna help on the perimeter when it comes to the defense and hopefully he knocks down the shots This is it. I think it's just the first step of rock polinka. He's been working man I do believe that this is not the last you're gonna hear of the LA Lakers when it comes to this offseason So so far I would grade them pretty solidly when it comes to their free agency because they know what their struggles are And they're trying to capitalize on that because a couple years ago I don't know if y'all remember like the rock the the offseason were like rondo They they made a head in offseason where they were not signing any shooters whatsoever It worked out at the end of the day. They got a ring But I remember that offseason everybody's like what are the Lakers doing? That's that's seven people that can't shoot the three-pointer It didn't really matter too much But at least this offseason they're like hey, we need shooters We're gonna go get shooters and they're gonna be more people that are willing to sign with the Lakers To potentially get that ring Chris Paul Sagman sent you four years 120 million immediately Twitter blew up like bro That's a lot. That's a lot of money for God. It's already what 36 35 And I completely completely understand and I'm not saying you're wrong in that But this is something I talked about on my podcast But we were talking about when it come to baseball because I know in baseball they be signing these huge huge contracts I'm gonna give them a 700 million dollars for 10 years and then in the last three years of that 10 years a player that you sign It's kind of buns, but you're okay with that because you got seven great years of that player I think that's what the Phoenix Suns are thinking Chris Paul has not showed anything that said he is slowing down when it comes to his age You can say what you want about a final specific appearance I don't really care about that but when it comes to overall impact on the organization impact on the team And I'm helping them win getting to the finals. Those are valuable valuable things Will Chris Paul still be at this level in four years? Probably not Probably not, but will he be like this next year? Probably will he be like this a year before that to some extent or the year after that to some extent So I'm willing to pay Chris Paul four years if that means two of those four years can keep us into contention And I think that's what they're doing now They do have a lot of the sense to make because Mikhail Bridges and DeAndre Aiden are both gonna be up for contracts within that four-year span They got a lot to figure out but I understand why you resign Chris Paul because Chris Paul is a guy with a heavy Point guard market and a lot of teams looking to sign point guards if you didn't resign him somebody was gonna sign him I don't know if they're giving them for 120 Would you get rather give Chris Paul for 120 and him be there still be your point God or let him walk And now you just got the camera paying and resigning which was a W by the way That was super cheap for camera paying. I think you do this deal. You got to keep remembering. It's either We thinking about these overpays remember what the market is first of all and remember the alternative It's either I resign his player a little bit above what they're probably worth or I lose it completely I would rather resign Chris Paul a little bit more than what he's worth They lose him completely and one thing we've learned over the last couple years whether be Russell Westbrook Whether be the John Wall whether be whatever there's no such thing as an untradable contract So if two years Chris Paul is buns Getting off that money it might cost you a little bit, but you can still do that at the end of the day There's no such thing as an untradable contract in the year 2021 Kyle Laurie side of trade Miami is elite. They also bring back Duncan Robinson. They bring a pizza Tucker I don't know where they got all this money To make all of this happen, but I put on tour to defensively this team is about to be insane My boy Duncan is they're gonna be trying to switch over to Duncan every chance they get because there is no weaknesses In that defensive lineup other than Duncan Robinson when it comes to that What is the rest of the front office or the rest of the free ACP look for the Miami? I don't know, but I'm happy about what they've done so far when you look at how Disappointed of a season it was for them to get swept completely Completely swept. I think some of the things some of the things that they struggled with they came out and addressed I would love for them to get more bucket-gainers and maybe they're counting on Tyler Hero to be better than what he was a sophomore year or you count on Cal Larry to do I think they need One or two more bucket-gainers and this thing could be really solid defensively I know that they're gonna bring it every single night that boy PJ Tucker. He's a he's a fire hydrant that wears Jordax He's gonna defend his butt off and nobody's moving him. You know I'm saying so I'm enjoying what the Miami Heat are doing This off-season still not complete. We will get final grades eventually What else we have Jimmy Butler got an extension as well So that's part of the Miami heat thing now I will say that Jimmy bothers extension me in four years and then Kyle Arby three years They're gonna be relatively old in a few years But I think they're looking at their window as like right now between the end of the Cal Larry contract You still got bam you still got Duncan you still gonna have Tyler hero Maybe not for that much longer. I don't really know what they're doing with the trades But I'm enjoying what what the what free HCS doc done to them tomorrow a junior got an extension that makes sense My colleague at an extension that makes sense. It's it's a lot of money for my colleague I must admit but I gotta think about it. Say maybe Chris Paul. What's the alternative? Either I let my colleague walk and Sign somebody for a mid-level exception Or I bring Cal Larry back on a deal that might be not too favorable in a couple years dare grow Let's talk about the next front office. Oh the next frequency. I already talked about the ever 48 thing dare grows comes back three years 43 They boss it basically brought back everybody that they could except for I think Bullock went to Bullock went to Dallas and I must not mistaken and then they bring an ever 40 a I was a bit confused at first because I when they started to trade Down from their picks. I remember on the broadcast. They were talking about all the nicks are doing this because if they have the 25th pick instead of the 21st pick that frees up two more million dollars in cap space And they want to be big-time buyers and what we found out today is they weren't big-time buyers. They weren't But these are contracts that individually when you look at it dare grows 43 when you look at Neuralist O'well 32 these are contracts you can package together in a few years or even this season alone Oh, no, Reggie Bullock stayed. Who did they lose? They lost somebody a free AC Reggie Bullock stayed Ali Burke stayed These are not bad contracts what they are basically everybody's getting paid the same amount of money on that team out 10 million dollars a year. They could package these in in a little bit with some of their picks And I think they're trying to think big-time picture. Oh snap um The trailblazers brought in I think if they brought in the plumbly or something and then they got Norman power back Hey, we package in if we package in Bullock Burks Okay, it's not a great package. I'll be honest with you. No rail then all of the picks. Maybe that's enough Financially it will make sense. I don't know Zach hot. Oh, this is another thing about market Zach Collins hadn't played basketball like two seasons and he got three years 22 So this lets you know David a while back at three years 25 or 15 shots of David a while But just overall a really really solid solid day Vontae Graham I'm so happy. I'm looking at this because I almost won't pass his Vontae Graham thing Vontae Graham is going to the pelicans on a sign of trade Nowhere. I guess it was a completely out of nowhere, but I gots to say I don't know what they are doing I don't know what David Griffin is doing Now could I look back this on this and when the season starts to be like, oh, David Griffin was able to it's possible But man Vontae on a four years 47 million He can shoot the ball. I guess last year he didn't very he didn't shoot it very good He was a high-value average percentage guy, which is not a great combination But for them to be like, hey, we won't count larry told the whole world We won't count larry. Don't even give us. No the point goes. We won't count larry count larry like no I'm gonna go to the team. That's actually trying to compete. Okay Um, lanzo ball. Hmm. We don't want lanzo back even though brandy negrum and xia wins our two star players Really want to play with lanzo next season? Nah, we'd rather take the sign and try to tow my satyransky and garret tempo in a second All right, so what are we going to do with the point guard position? Well, we got tow my satyransky What about the vante gram? And not even just that we gave up a pick to bring in vant and I'm not this is not a shot at vante Because I think vante is a solid NBA player, but I'm just seeing overall the pelicans Don't seem like they really had a direction. They had plan a coyolari coyolari coyolari. Oh snap that blew up What do we do now? And an alternative was to bring in vante And I don't understand what they're doing with with this front office vante niquela xander walker bi zion valentine's That's not a bad team. It's not a bad team. I don't think is this the team that's going to get you into the playoffs Which is what you want to do Considering everything you paid this offseason whether it be with contracts whether it be with picks You gave up what three picks Three picks this this free a nc period alone three of them between the yonas valentine's trading the signage trade of vante gram And this is what we get for They better they better do something crazy in day number two or when I'm sleeping because I'm not impressed I'm not impressed We'll see though. We'll see i'm javiel mcgeese now with the sons Which is a good thing because they needed a backup so so bad and they finally got that I'm trying to remember Who the heck that the dallas maverick signed it was they signed a shooter. I'm gonna look it up real quick It was rezy bulak right rezy bulak um three years 30 million three years 30 million for uh rezy bulak Let me know what you think about free nc. That's that's all we have to say And i'm almost positive that i'm gonna hit upload on this Ken baysmore went to the lakers that was I did that in my video. I literally did that in my video. Um Just make sense Look people are already shut out to everybody on twitter, bro. Y'all y'all have made Y'all have made my twitter Experience so much better because everything that happens. I'm gonna mention y'all tweeting about it making memes. It's just It's just great. Kenny predicted it. I guess I did I guess
