 Hi everybody, Joe for Jaspy's casewrakes.com coming at you with 2021-22 Panini Elite Basketball. Six box, half case, pick your team number 14, all card ship, and 14 is the second half of the case we popped open last night. So we marked all of those 14 right there, and here's the final printout. We've got Kings at Coyotes, a little hockey on the back, and Coyotes just tied it up 2-2. And we'll have NBA starting up tomorrow, I believe. So here on the 23rd, thanks everybody for making this happen. The next, another half case break from a fresh case is in the store, and the next two breaks will be our last breaks of elite if you want to get on it. Big thanks to Bennett who got the last five teams for that quintuple last spot mojo. So good luck to you, Bennett. Good luck to everybody. Thank you for getting in. Let's get started. What games do we have? I think after this, it's the last day of, I guess, spring break for the NBA'ers. Their all-star break. And tomorrow's schedule. I think we have two TNT games tomorrow, so what's the schedule for tomorrow? Earliest game is Cleveland at Detroit, and then the TNT game is Boston at Brooklyn, then Atlanta at Chicago. These are non-national games, but Atlanta, Chicago, Memphis at Minnesota, Phoenix will be in OKC, and then the late TNT game tomorrow will be Golden State at Portland. And then Denver at Sacramento is your other non-national late game. When do my Lakers play? Do I want to see them play? I do. Feb Friday, they're playing on Friday. Clippers at Lakers. It's the same place, but technically a home game for the Lakers. That's the late ESPN game on Friday, and the early ESPN game on Friday is Miami at Knicks. That should be a good game. So we're getting some basketball back underway. And we do have some NBA news here. According to ESPN, Guard Zarius Garland cares Laverne out due to injuries as Cleveland Cavs return from break. Got Portland Trailblazer Center, use of NERCage out at least four weeks with left foot plantar fasciitis. Has anyone ever had plantar fasciitis? I'm pretty sure the plantar fasciitis is at your heel. But I think it's that big tendon underneath your foot, right? Maybe it's closer to the heel? Well, apparently I've never had an injury like that. Maybe it's only injuries athletes get, I'm certainly not an athlete, but I hear it's one of the more painful injuries in sports. We've got Kai Jones to 9.99 for Charlotte, 4.29 out of 9.99 for Danny and the Hornets. We've got to 49, Brandon Ingram. Brandon Ingram of course goes to Danny and the Pelicans. 11 out of 49 for Zengas, Christos for Zengas for Diego and Dallas. Wait, so where did poor Zengas end up? Here's Impact Impression, Sean Kemp. Seattle stuff goes to OKC. That's going to be for Cody and the Thunder. I guess a lot of these new players, the players who are a trader, are going to start to see them in action. I think Harden should be healthy, right? From that hamstring injury should be back with the Sixers. Will Ben Simmons be ready to start tomorrow as well or whenever the next Thursday or Friday? It would be interesting to see how all those new pieces fit with their new teams. We've got Jalen Suggs, nice rookie die cut to 96. Diego with the magic. There's Devonte Graham for the Pelicans, 96. Another one for Danny. I can grab that car, there it is. Doug McDermott, Impact Signatures. Teach me how to Dougie, that goes to Kevin and the Spurs. All right, next box. Kemba Walker is sitting the rest of the way. I guess we're going to try to work out a trade frame in the summer. Gorn Drogic ended up joining the Nets on a buyout deal, which is, I think, a pretty solid move. I think that kind of went under the radar a little bit, but that's a good move for them. Vaughn Carter plans to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks once he clears waivers. Oh, Nets waved Carter upon reaching agreement with Three Age and Gorn Drogic. So Devon Carter will add some depth to the Bucks' backcourt, who lost Dante DiVincenzo who went to the Kings, and Pat Connaughton, who's not for like a month, following hand surgery. The Bucks tried to sign Drogic, but ultimately, I think the Lakers would try to get him, too, but ultimately, the lost-out-do-history relationship with Steve Snatch has formed a teaming. We've got a rookie-orange parallel to 2-10. That's Frans Wagner, 98 out of 2-10. Frans Wagner going to Diego and the Orlando Magic. Pretty solid player there. Some of you may remember his brother, Moe Wagner, 29 out of 99. There's Jalen Brown. Celtics went into the break hot, so let's see if they can come out of the gates hot as well. Everyone out of 99 mark is smart. I think they had one-nine of their last ten games going into the all-star break. We've got Ayo Jonsumu, Nusamu. Rookie yearbook autograph for the Bulls. Matt Jen with Chicago. Some of those spellbound cards can be numbered. It's Keon Johnson, 41 out of 999 for the Clippers, and it'll be for Corey and the Clips. Norman Powell, 34 out of 49. Purple for the Portland Trailblazers, Jeffrey as a Lakers fan. Come on, this got to come back. Come on, we need you, Kendrick Nunn. Get well soon. And the autograph is Rod Strickland. Washington Wizards. Bennett Paid, one of his last-bought Mojo teams. There you go, Bennett. First of many, I hope, and Joe Harris back there. All right. Another box down. Another box to go. What other... No, I'm looking at hoopsrumors.com here. They do a pretty solid job kind of putting together a lot of different stories from a lot of trusted sources. Denver. Nuggets planned to sign to Marcus Cousins for the rest of the season. Sixers expect to sign Willie Collie Stein to a ten-day deal. Dennis Schroeder. Rock, it's not pursuing a buyout agreement. Joe Ingles, Jingles. Undergo successful ACL surgery. Good. SGA set to return for the Thunder. Malcolm Brogdon expected to come back on Friday. Sean Holmes facing an uncertain future with the Kings. The Pelican situation is kind of weird with Zion, right? According to hoopsrumors.com, after J.J. Reddix condemnation of Zion Wilkinson's behavior towards his new Pelican teammate, Seja McCollum, McCollum stated that Wilkinson finally did reach out, and the two spoke. But Wilkinson's public silence is a willful choice not to quiet the speculation surrounding the franchise. Scott Kushner of NOLA.com and Opines. That's very weird. And now I think a lot of people are making a big thing about how he was, how Zion wasn't any of those marketing materials for season ticket holders next season. According to the writer for NOLA.com, the decision to omit Wilkinson isn't an indication of New Orleans is interested in training the young star. It's just an acknowledgement that the Pelicans don't know when he's going to return to the court. And it's a way to shield themselves from criticism of false advertising. That's crazy because, yeah, it's a stark contrast to media day comments made by VP of basketball operations, David Griffin, for the Pelicans who said that Wilkinson would be ready for the regular season. And Wilkinson himself also was optimistic about return, but now he still hasn't played a game this season. It has been in Oregon, I think at the Nike facility early January, since early January, rehabbing his injured foot. Now on one hand, there's pretty short impact impressions autograph. On one hand, you know, I do kind of feel bad for Zion. I'm sure that foot situation is really assuming it's real. Jason Price won't say warriors because, you know, he's healthy, he'd be playing, you know, but yeah, the criticism of him being kind of detached from the team, I don't know. It's not what you want to see in who you hope to be a face of the franchise and a leader, but maybe he's not a leader. A lot of great basketball players and all those great basketball players are good leaders. It's Keon Johnson to 9.99. Clippers and it'll go to Corey. LeBron James 40 out of 99. That's star status insert for the Lakers. And there's Christophe Porzingis to 49. And we got an Evan Mobley. Nice, pen pals autograph. 35 out of 49. Nice one for Danny and the Cavs. Cleveland, this is for you. Of course, the All-Star Week in Chatter about LeBron James saying, hey, I think I want to love to play in Cleveland for another year. You think Cleveland wants them? You know, you think Cleveland's like, listen, we've got kind of a good thing going here. We don't want you rattling coming in here and start making some crazy suggestions about moving Sexton or Garland or Mobley or something like that to build some sort of team. For the Thunder, we got Aaron at Wiggins. 66 out of 210. Yeah, Matt, John, very nice Mobley there for Danny. Thank you, Danny, for grabbing the Cavs. It's Michael Porter Jr. to 99. All right, we are halfway through this half-case break. Appearing on Sports Center, go back to Zion really quick. I know you've been hearing a lot about it. ESPN's Brian Windhorst saying the Pelicans and Williamson are distant, both literally and figuratively, since leaving the team. William Guillory of the Athletic writes that if Williamson wants the noise to stop, outside noise, he needs his action to start backing up his words. Williamson says he's loved to save New Orleans but then disappears for his period of time, leaving a shroud of mystery. Williamson's last conversation with the media came in late September during media day. Prior to Williamson's departure to Oregon for rehab, several members of the organization over the course of three-plus months tried to convince Williamson to make public statements about his recovery process, but Williamson has chosen to remain silent. It's gone to the point where the Pelicans fans don't trust what Williamson has to say anymore. That's not good. Although, on the Zion defense, Tom Ziller of Substack thinks that the Pelicans bear plenty of blame for how events have transpired with Williamson, knowing there's been a rotating cast of three head coaches and several veteran teammates and his two plus teams of the team, sorry about the camera, creating instability for the young star. Lonzo Ball was reported to the Williamson's best friend on the team and two-head synergy on the court, the Pelicans opted not to resign him. Now the writer says Williamson clearly isn't doing his job, but others in New Orleans are culpable as well, not just about Zion, which I'd have to agree with is right there. I kind of understand, I mean, the injury, I think, is a separate issue, which is on him, but what if you're one of the best employees at your work, there's Kevin Durant, I think that's the case hit, or the one-per-case-ish short print? What if you're one of the best workers, best employees at your work, but you can't get better because your bosses, the owners are always switching around bosses, switching around leadership, firing your friends, hiring the wrong, I mean, that's gotta be frustrating. There's Juan Toscano Anderson to 9.99, so there's Lonzo right there. I was actually kind of surprised, I thought the Pelicans would retain Lonzo, there's Elvin Hayes, Impact Impressions, for Bennett and the Wizards. Also, David Griffin is really noted as a, you know, as a pretty well-respected front office guy, as Kai Jones in 9.99, so I don't know, what is he doing, what's his master plan and all this? Kai Jones goes to Charlotte, that'll be for Danny, Donovan Mitchell to 55, die cut, I don't know, a lot of questions in this drama is what makes sports fun, it's entertainment. I misplay something, I'm good. We're good, we're good. Turbo, turbo, green, 42, is that hot? Any guesses on this redemption? What's happening here? Some calves talk, they've got a pretty young and exciting team, after several weeks of rehabbing his injured right ankle, Laurie Markinett, is eager to help the calves make a playoff push, Markinett suffered a high ankle sprain on January 22nd and missed Cleveland's last 11 games, Markinett was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and this is probable for the team's game on Thursday. Cavs currently hold the fourth seed in the east with a 35 and 23 record, so if Cavs get to full strength, if they get Darius Garland and Karris Leverde back, and that could be a really interesting team, pretty exciting team. Rex, you're guessing Barclay? Which edition of Barclay? It's Moses Moody for the Warriors, 9.99 for Jason Price. Mark Jackson, God bless Jay. Joe Jaspy, no, it's God bless you, but thanks Mark Jackson anyway, that's Cheng with New York Knicks. Rex is the only guesser, huh? Kobe White to 99, tell you what Rex, it's Barclay's son's edition, I'll give you $10 of red credit. No, it's Josh Christopher, Pen Powell's autograph. And Josh Christopher is a, no, that's Josh Giddy, not Usman, is he 24th overall pick for the Rockets? You had the team, Matt Jen, but not the player. This goes to Houston, that's gonna be for Danny in the Rockets, your 24th overall pick out of Arizona State, and we got a David Johnson, 58 out of 210 for Toronto, that's gonna go to Danny. We got a rookie yearbook, Miles McBride autograph for Cheng and the New York Knicks. So we got the Ebomobily autograph a little bit earlier, that is your number three overall, so you can find another one of these, like, top, high-drafted rookie players here. Thanks everybody for filling this up, good luck. What's in your wallet, what's in your wallet, what's in your wallet, what's in your wallet, what's in your wallet, just in case I have to audition for that commercial, what's in your wallet, 880 out of 999, Greg Brown III, Portland Trailblazers, that'll be for Jeff, what's in your wallet? Trey Murphy III, Trey Murphy III, I mean, you're born to shoot threes, right? If you're Trey Murphy III, 32 out of 35 Penpal's autograph for the Pelicans. He is a guard, what is his, what's his 3.8, he was drafted 17th overall out of a junior out of Virginia. What's his 3.8 percentage at Virginia was like 43%, that's pretty good. So he is destined to shoot threes. That's for Nolence, that'll be for Danny and the Pelicans. I need to audition for AT&T commercial so I can hang out with Lily. I think she's got that covered. I don't know if I'll be, I mean, like as a person buying a phone. I suppose I could do that, I could give that a shot. I would have rather been on her, her little YouTube sketch comedy sort of show that she was on before the AT&T years. I think I actually knew her from that before, for the AT&T commercials. There's Isaiah Todd, 33 out of 49 for the Wizards. And we got a Koran Butler for Bennett and the Wizards. Impact Impressions autograph. And that, my friends, is that. Elite Basketball, Picker Team 14 in the books, quick little recap of the autographs. Right here, Josh Christopher for Houston. That was the case hit that went to the Nets, that's for Danny. Nice Evan Mobley also for Danny. Some old school guys, new school guys, nice rookie cards. And there you have it. I'm Joe for jaskyscasebreaks.com. Thanks for watching, thanks for breaking with us. And I'll see you next time for the next Hoops Break. Bye-bye.
