 Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's Case of Breaks.com. We did it. We knocked out 2020-2021 Panini Donneress Optic Basketball, six box half case picker team number 14. The second half of the case that we popped open, not too long ago. Now let me update the schedule a little bit. We did the filler plus optic PYT number 14. That should take us to about the top of the hour, maybe a little bit after the top of the hour. So we got a little time to do another break if you want to, Jaspy's Case Breaks.com. All right, there's the final printout. Thanks everybody for getting in. Now, if there's a little rooftop next to your name, that means you won that in that team random that we did not too long ago, where we pulled the remaining teams out of this break and then turned it into a random team break. So it's a little bit of a hybrid. Oh, and Gary got last spot mojo with the Jazz in this pick your team random team hybrid sort of break. Now remember, we marked all those boxes 14 so we know it's from the same case. And let's see what we got. Good luck, everybody. NBA training camp, pre-season is about to start. I think maybe in a couple of weeks or so, which is exciting. We're getting to some basketball. We'll start to see the, I think we'll start to see new basketball products for the upcoming, for the current draft class. I guess this now becomes last year's draft class. We're gonna start to see that. That should be pretty exciting. I guess the big news, I don't know if there's any other big news going on right now, but Ben Sinens, digging in his heels saying he's not gonna play for the Sixers ever again. He wants to trade, he wants out. Now the Sixers, I think, kind of explored trade options over the summer, but ultimately they were, I think most teams were saying they were asking way too much. Now, I don't know what happens now. Is it too late to trade Ben Sinens? You know, but has Ben Sinens just tanked his price now? Sixers just have to get rid of him at a cheap price. Everyone's like, everyone's teams are pretty much set. Free agents are signed salary caps and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And per the collective bargaining agreement, I think guys that were traded over the summer can't be traded again until like October or November or something like that. So it's not like people can make trades right now unless it's just for future picks and non-traded players. It could be, I don't know. I don't know what they're gonna do. Olms is not impressed with Ben Sinens. All the talent world hasn't developed a shot. Well, I think the Sixers were hoping that he would develop, oh, nice Lamello to start things off, base. I think the Sixers were hoping that he would work on that over the summer with Joe LMB, kind of work together, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but now they're stuck. I don't know what they do. There's Lamello for Sean Maddock in the Hornets, got the Hornets straight up. I don't know what they do. There's Lucanard Orange to 199 for the Clippers, former piston, there he is. There's Ben Simmons right there. I don't know what happens to him. What's gonna happen to Ben Simmons? Let me hear your thoughts. There's Malcolm Brogdon, Lion Green for the Pacers to 149. That'll be for Arthur. Lucanard Clippers, that'll go to David. All cards ship in this, King of Potatoes. So all the Zion's, all the second year Zion's will go to you and this Jared Culver will go to Emery who got randomized the Timberwolves in this. Maybe we'll find his teammate in here somewhere. Alvar does bring up a good point. We kind of said that about Shaq, right? All the talent in the world, but Shaq's a little different because we knew what position he was playing in an era where there was this, if you have a seven foot big man, you're playing that kind of basketball. But I mean, I guess that's how much basketball has changed. There's seven out of 99, Duncan Robinson. Shaq never had to develop a shot. He dominated in the paint. There's Alfred Payton, 14 out of 59. But nowadays, I mean, everyone has a shot now, right? But yeah, I mean, Simmons is not, let's not, Alvar's sick and with it. You can, it sounds weird, but you can. Ben Simmons is not Shaq, Oliver. Hollywood says sit Ben out and make his value go down when as a free agent. Well, here's the problem, Hollywood. He signed for like four or five years. So he's already getting paid. I guess if he doesn't play, he won't get paid, but it's not gonna help his, I don't think free agency really matters here. It's about leverage. What can the Sixers do? Can they actually get any value back from it this day to the season? Do you just find it for the rest of the year and then try to move them later on? I don't know. I can see that the narrative is a little similar there. You know, disagreeing, you know, it doesn't play well with another star on the team. Trying to force his way out of town, but, but you know, I mean, I think, I think he was more of a, Shaq was more of an established star and a scoring threat at that point. Ben Simmons is not, it's not really in the same, I mean, he's not really in the position to be trying to force his way out. Sits out at basketball, then he's done in basketball, but how does that help the Sixers though? Cause now the Sixers, as an ownership, you have to try to get something back for Ben Simmons. That's the tricky part. There's Kenyal Martin Jr. to 149, Lion Green, and Shang has the Knicks gets the rookies Ovi Toppin. It's Kyrie, 11 out of 99. Oh yeah, and the green Kenyal Martin Jr. goes to Oliver and the Rockets. It's Keldon Johnson, 23 out of 39, and Adonte DeVincenzo for the Milwaukee Bucks. Sean Mattick got randomized the Bucks in that team random. Yeah, if you're just talking strictly about the situation, I, like I said, I can see the narrative, but as players, no, I don't see that Oliver, sorry. I'll have to respectfully disagree. I don't think anyone's confusing Ben Simmons's first handful of years with that of Shaquille O'Neal. Out of 199, Paul Millsap, Denver Nuggets, Derek, the Anthony Edwards rated rookie base, going to Emery, got randomized to T-Wolves. Well, I wonder what is P.J. Tucker to 79? I wonder what is that? I mean, if you argue that he just need that Simmons needs a change of scenery, P.J. Tucker for the Rockets, that's for you, Oliver. If he needs a change of scenery, then where is that change of scenery? What team wants to take a player like Ben Simmons? I mean, I don't know, I'm looking at Shaq Stat right now. In his third year when he was 22, he was a league leader in average points per game, 29.3 points per game, in his third year with Orlando, I mean, Ben Simmons is not, even in the new NBA, Ben Simmons is not doing the equivalent of that, I think. I mean, Shaq, even in those Orlando years, it didn't work out with Penny, but I think people can tell that he was a pretty special player. Ben Simmons, I don't know if he's shown that yet. And in the modern NBA where you do have to shoot, or in the current NBA where you do have to shoot, and be a competent shooter, he's got to work on that one way or the other. Emery thinks he's going to end up here in Minnesota, there in Minnesota that he constantly talk about in the ring, but who does Minnesota give up to get Ben Simmons? You almost have to cater to Ben Simmons's playing style a little too much, unless he works on that shot, but I don't know if he's worked on that shot. Like Lonzo has worked on his shot. Lonzo's shot looks very different from what it looked like in his first year. Has Ben Simmons put in that work? I don't know. Maybe he has, I have no idea, but I feel like we will have heard about it. There's Donovan Mitchell to 99 for the Jazz, Gary. Emmanuel Quickly for the Knicks, Shane. 70 out of 99, Donovan Mitchell. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the frustrating thing with Ben Simmons, I can see where that talent is, but it just hasn't unlocked yet. There is Trez, Lakers edition for Sean Mattick. Who's unlocking, who is the Phil Jackson to unlock Ben Simmons? There's Jared Culver, 002 to 149. I mean, that's a small list if you're talking about, you know, the Hall of Fame coach. Jared Culver for Emory in Minnesota, and Isaac Acoro Hollow. Yeah, Joe Singh, Gordon Hayward, Dominator's autograph for Charlotte, Sean Mattick. Maybe we'll find his team here. Yeah, if it's wizards or blazers, yeah, neither, I feel like, I mean, so that's what I'm asking. Like what team, let's not think about, let's not think about maybe, I guess we do have to think about trades, but it's 14 out of 49. What team, what team fits? Hollow Desmond Bain for Memphis, that's gonna be for, was there Xavier Tillman back there too? That's for Travis in Memphis. Yeah, I think Joe makes a good point. I feel like at this point, the Sixers maybe would have to think about eating salary to make Simmons go away. Yeah, I mean, I guess you can keep finding Simmons, but it just doesn't, does Philadelphia no good just to have that distraction on that team at least longer than a season or half a season. So, Giannis Hollow, I don't know how much that is in the secondary market, but he's a champion now. Right, Nick Nurse Raptors could be the right coach, but do they have the assets to move? It's a very short list on where Ben Simmons could actually succeed. Mitchell Robinson to 99, 79. Pink Velocity for the Knicks, that's gonna be for Shang and Keldon Johnson for the Spurs, Capola. All right, halfway through this half case break, maybe Miami, maybe Miami actually, that's not bad. Spolster could probably figure it out. Pat Riley and Spolster could probably figure it out. But I don't know, I feel like they don't wanna, I feel like they feel like they have a good team, right? Do they wanna mess with that team? Maybe they do need a Ben Simmons type? Who's scoring on that team? Duncan Robinson? Yeah, I mean, Jimmy Butler's another player that is great, but a playmaker, but maybe not a shooter that they need. Right, yeah, you can't trade Siakam, like Olms was kind of suggesting maybe Siakam, but I don't know, yeah, who scores? Lowery's gone. Yeah, Ben Simmons is not yet that kind of scorer. Yeah, Fred Van Vleet, maybe? See, it's kinda hard here, I'm gonna bring up the NBA list of teams or standings. So here's the standings from last year, that's just an overview on the teams, right? Well, Sixers, no, Nets, I'm just gonna go down the list of the Eastern Conference standings, each of the Conference standings. Nets, no, right? Could the, I mean, that could be interesting. Kyrie can shoot, Katie can shoot. What if the Brooklyn Nets grabbed them? I don't know what they could give, but Bucks, no. Nicks, New York Nicks? They've got a bunch of youngsters on that team. Maybe they can move a person or two. Yeah, Nicks could be interesting. They might have to move a player or two and if Philadelphia eats a little money. Atlanta, no, I don't think Atlanta wants them. Miami Heat, no, Celtics? I mean, Celtics are kinda starting from, right? Bradley Stevens is in the front office now, they're trying to kind of reconfigure that team. They're trying to figure things out. Pacers, maybe? Short Charlotte Hornets? Can you imagine Lamello distributing to Ben Simmons? Lamello would have like 15-20 assists a game. So Ben Simmons slashing to the basket. Tyrese Maxey and Brandon Clark Orange to $1.99. Tyrese Maxey for the Sixers, Sheriff, the Sixers. Bulls, I don't know, Bulls, Toronto, Cleveland, don't know, Magic, Cleveland, maybe? Magic, no, Pistons, no. Yeah, Joe's saying, Joe Christian's saying he's gotta be a team that doesn't need shooting. What teams don't need shooting? It's Keldon Johnson to $1.49. Ooh, and a redemption. Nikola Jokic, $99. Arthur Sears, maybe thinking John Wall to that. Do the Sixers want John Wall, though? Are they a John Wall away from a title? Maybe, but I feel like there's a lot of, yeah, there's a lot of mileage on that, on John Wall, a lot of money, too, right now. Yeah, I mean, I passed by Orlando pretty quick, Joe. Brody's asking, what would be better to get in this numbered rookie cards or hollow? I think, I feel like, well, both, but I feel like people really do like the hollow in the long run. Right, where's my playing card here? All right, we got a rated rookie signatures. I, Immanuel, M, Immanuel, quickly. New York Knicks with that one. Shang, with the Knicks, got the Knicks straight up. A little bit of top loader dust in there, but there you go. That will be for Shang. Picked up the New York Knicks straight up. Two boxes to go. Okay, Western Conference, who needs Ben Simmons? Jazz? Probably not. Nuggets? No. Clippers? No. Mavs? No. Maybe? Maybe? Trailblazers, no Lakers, no Grizzlies, no Warriors? Spurs? How like Kings? No. Kings, yeah, Warriors maybe. Kings, yeah, Oliver's a Kings guy. No easy answer for Ben if he came to the Kings. Bagley, heel, 23, first rounder. Kings win, yeah, that could be interesting. Okay, C, Houston. Arthur's convinced that the Sixers will trade for Wall, buy them out. Yeah, I mean, if they're pushed to, I mean, I don't know if they'd want to do that, Arthur, but I mean, at this stage of the season, maybe that's the quickest option to just pull the ripcord on Ben Simmons and just get out, you know? You don't like the Superteam garbage, Olm? No sport in the world does that. Real Madrid is calling, you Olms. Barcelona is calling, Manchester City is calling you. A lot of soccer clubs calling, Dodgers are calling you. Yeah, I think Warriors would be really interesting. He doesn't have to, he doesn't, I mean, if Clay Thompson and Steph Curry are healthy, Ben doesn't need to shoot. He can just slash to the basket, move around, you know? Just let the other guys shoot and he can just be a playmaker, just a big size mismatch. But what do the, what, who does, who do the Warriors give up? I mean, are they trading like a Weissman? No, you can't trade Weissman for Ben Simmons, or do you? There's Tyrese Maxi, autograph, nice, rated rookie auto. If Ben Simmons is gone, I'd be more minutes for Tyrese Maxi. Jair Jong with the Sixers. That's true, then Dodgers did trade for those guys. Yeah, I mean, maybe, yeah, maybe Arthur, you're right. There's gotta be a rip the band-aid option. I don't know, Tyrese Halliburton and Ben Simmons, that could be an interesting pairing. We'll have to see, I'm very curious because I feel like it was kind of quiet all summer long. You know, there was like, will they, won't they trade him? They're asking too much, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden, boom, Ben Simmons digging in his heels, he wants out. There's Miles Bridges, 99. Now it's trickier, he kind of puts the, and I'm pretty pro player, you know what I mean? I'm always on the player, I'm rarely on the ownership side of things, but that being said, you know, I do kind of feel bad for the Sixers ownership in front office, he's kind of put them in a weird position. There's Aaron Naismith, I'm not sure what the Celtics are doing, but here's a hollow Aaron Naismith, he might see some playing time. There's Lemon Pepper Williams, Lemon Pepper Lou, 84 out of 199. David with the clip show. Joe Locus, what's going on? Just rewatched certified break, had Niners and Jets, got nothing except the case hit. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, that's not too shabby, right? Congrats. There's LeBron, there's James Weissman. Yeah, I guess OKC does have a million draft picks. Do they want to start that, are they rebuilding around, let's look at their depth chart here, are they really gonna start building around Ben Simmons? They wouldn't give up Gilgit's Alex SGA though, I feel like people love SGA out there. That's up to you. Olms, is anything close to breaking or is this the last break in that? You tell me. You tell me Olms, if you buy spots and something fills, it doesn't have to be the last break of the night, that's all up to you. I guess you can move door, right? SGA's gotta go for Ben, you don't think draft picks alone will do it? Sixers, bad leverage spot for the Sixers. OKC doesn't have to do it. You know, they can just be like, whatever, just take a few, yeah, metal ball, pretty big name. If he has a strong start to a second year coming up and went about a month, I guess, game one starts for basketball, if he has a hot start, first half of the season, the price of those Lamellos will believe it or not go up. Right, four years of, if I'm OKC, and Philly goes, hey, SGA, door, two number ones, I'd be like, nope. You're taking one of those players and two number ones. I mean, OKC has all the leverage. Ben Simmons is forcing his way out of Philadelphia, so Philadelphia has lost leverage at this point. You know, all we're saying, OKC can't attract free agents, so this is how they get a star. Is Ben Simmons a star though? Is he putting butts in seats in OKC? Does he fit in OKC? Machado might have had another home run, third of the night, just missed it. Geez, Giants of Padres still tied at five, ladies and gentlemen. Dodgers won tonight. They're a half game back to the Giants. If the Giants lose tonight, we'd all tie it up, I think. At the top of the NL West. All right, back to the basketball. Last break, or last box of this basketball break. Here's Westbrook on the Lakers now. I wanna see how that works out. But he's back in LA, happy about that as a Lakers fan. Michael Porter Jr. to 149, Lyme Green for Denver. It's gonna be for Derrick. You got a Hollow Grant Riller. Another Anthony Edwards and a John Collins Black Velocity, 16 out of 39. Douglas Warden with the ATL. And we've got a rocket, 73 out of 99. There you go. It's one of the guys that Oliver Soria was looking for, Jay Sean Tate, who showed some glimpses, not consistently, but shown some glimpses of what he could possibly do. Him and Canyon Martin. There you go. Here's Autograph, rookie auto. And there's a base rated rookie, Anthony Edwards, for Emory and the T-Wolves. I like his game, Anthony Edwards is exciting. We got the rookies, Anthony Edwards, T-Wolves. We're with the rookies insert. Also for Emory, we've got an Isaiah Stewart Blue, one out of 59. Nice little color match there for Detroit Capola. Yeah, Houston that does have a good young squad. Jaylen Green. I don't know who that second guy is, Sen Gunn, Sengin. Christian Wood though, I really like Christian Wood. Ooh, and a hollow James Weissman. Emory with the Golden State Warriors, strong. Nice. And the last little bit here, we got Mo Bamba, Orlando to 199. And Kevin Durant, elite dominators. And the Mo Bamba will go to Orlando. That's gonna be for Travis. All right, hollow James Weissman, some Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tate, Iris Maxi, and Emmanuel Quickley Redemption. Hayward Edwards, Devin Chenzo, Jared Culver, and a base rated rookie, Lamello Ball. Not a bad break at all, pretty strong stuff. Keep your eye out for more Donneress Optic Basketball on jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.
