Bogdanovic? Portis? Olynyk? 10 fake trades that would help the Nuggets | Casual Friday

[Music] no we’re live right now ER oh what come on since when since right now what’s going on everybody welcome into a casual Friday first one of the off seon chill chill bro hang loose fellas uh we are presented uh we are in the Toyota Lounge driven by your Front Range Toyota stores Toyota the official vehicle of dmvr I’m Harrison wi I got my guy Brendan vote with me today man it’s a beautiful day sun was out great walk and uh Special Special K AKA super producer kale Eric weed and I are going to see furiosa tonight so I’m pretty much locked in I’ve been locked in all day wow that’s a great shirt you’re wearing too thank you yeah it’s a casual Friday kind of vibe that’s incredibly that’s like a little bit like uh that’s a give up Friday a little bit but whatever listen well this I wore my Cancun hat as well because uh I don’t know if you guys know I can’t believe you went from basketball analyst to Old burnout like that quickly oh yeah I go to Cancun too up here in my mind I don’t actually get to go to Cancun I this is like the first outfit that might as well just be a prop uhhuh I can’t when you have a Cancun hat yeah these are just things in my closet by the way oh that’s dline over there a Cancun hat really hits different these days yeah a that is really rough man to remind we are symbolically in Cancun right now we’re there enjoying the sun getting some rays I wish we were literally there I know screw screw SC Serbia even though we’d love to go back there let’s go to Cancun next yeah don’t say screw Serbia too loudly though it’s an afternoon show I think they’re watching you know the people in Serbia know I love them I know I know let’s go to Mexico guys we got a pack show today we’re going to go over some fake trades because that’s what we do in the off season oh boy got 10 of them that I want to run through with you guys you can also find them on the dvr.com we’re also going to go to repent Corner yeah we need to repent to the basketball gods to start this off seon well we clearly did something wrong and so yeah without being positive what the offense was we all I think have a few trespasses that we need to unburden ourselves of and to acknowledge where we may have overstepped I mean a real podcaster looks inside after a tough season they they look themselves in the mirror and they say like what am I made of you know and so taking responsibility that’s that’s part of our game too yeah we got to look inward we got to evaluate what we’ve said what we’ve done and how we can be better yep people and podcasters that’s right uh and then we’re going to go online with dline later on in the show that’s right I have been spending some time online these days you guys oh that’s good thank God got a lot of time on my hands uh first though I don’t know if you guys tuned in last night the Boston Celtics went up two games to zero yeah I saw on the Indiana Pacers 126 110 Jaylen Brown had 40 points oh my God Jason Tatum 23 one a seven from three yeah that was some real garbage time padding there but whatever tyres hurn also got hurt and this series might be over vote yeah I think like if we can just fast forward to uh repent corner I mean I think Brendan vote is clearly the one that has been in the most direct violation of the basketball Gods I may have pushed it because the the messed up thing was I saw the whole time how easily they were going to make the finals and I thought anybody could see it and I thought what’s the best move here quadruple down holy you know the other thing about the Celtics which does not change how I feel largely built the right way like really nothing to complain about with that roster haven’t won in a while but I chose to make them the enemy I know and that might be on me that might be some of that is on me the rest of it is on the Eastern Conference dude are you kidding me there’s a good chance Jason Tatum could run for president someday like he’s that likable right I know he’s a Cardinal fan and lucky enough he’d be in an election where there’s just no uh competitors yeah it’d be just single single candidate ballot turns out I love his platform what would I do what would I do oh to on the table now boys I hope you’re ready to repent I am you’ve made some mistakes this is shaping up as The Darkest Timeline possible for you though oh Brendan vote is Michael Porter has a bad game seven in a Bad series and Jason Tatum could win a championship could if Jason BR wins Finals MVP I think we need a a live watch along with just you well I have good news just you for the finals I have good news as things are shaping up he’s not going to win finals MVP Jaylen Brown come on down Derek white oh boy this is almost an assurance that this will happen name 30 players that are better than Derek white you can’t do it the the best part is it still could work out for you if the Celtics win and he doesn’t win Finals MVP do you still take a Victory lap then no because the truth is it it’s bigger than Tatum it’s the it’s the logo on the chest yeah and also I play for the name on the front not the back that’s right you hate for the name on the front not the back and I hate to say it but I think the public is kind of on the same page about Tatum right now I don’t think he’s overrated anymore so I almost feel like my watch is ended um and now I just have to watch my worst nightmare play out yeah the unfortunate news from from that game though was halberton got hurt hamstring injury oh my god it feels like I mean even without him their chances were very or even with him their chances in this series were very small without him I mean we don’t even really have to watch these next couple games yeah I’m going to because I hate myself but okay yeah that that’s a this is an official no contest at this point like this is not this is not going to go well what do you guys think happens in the Timberwolves MAV series from here on out one zero Mavs game two of that series is tonight do you think have the Mavs slipped to favorites in the series for you guys they have for me yeah they AB absolutely have for me I mean obviously we’re going to see a lot of adjustments but to me I I just I’ve said this like I really just see the Mavericks having the antidote to everything that the timber wolves want to do the you know like if and it really just comes down to that point of attack defense is as soon as they get past it then Rudy goar and or Carl Anthony towns have to decide whether or not they want to come up and challenge the shooter and if they do then Daniel Gafford and Washington are free to just dunk the ball wide open and if not then you have a wide open uh mid-range shot which Kyrie and Luca are very adapted hitting so I don’t know I find they’re like in a tough spot Here I Am Prepared Eric’s observations are all astute from what’s played out I am prepared for you play are just weird right we just got out of that nuggets Wolf series where after the first two games respectively we all had wildly different perspectives on the series so oh we lived four different lives throughout the Nuggets Timberwolf series and it was another reminder to me of just how long if a series goes long just how long it really is especially narratively speaking uh so it did feel like a hold your horses on the Minnesota Thing game but that could change real quick so that I’m I’m curious about that Series in a way I’m certainly not curious about the other one unfortun I the only thing you know they do like we said this a million times like every playoff game is really unique unto itself but I mean I could really see a situation where it’s not that dissimilar to the Celtics uh Series where first game Celtics stole it second game it’s like okay we yeah we got it and then they just smack them wow so you’re really off the Timberwolves I am man is that is that emotionally charged or is that I just is that hatred based uh there’s definite hatred in there for sure but I also just saw I don’t know it just to me I was like oh no like if they can’t if they can’t contain those two guys like they’re in big trouble and um you know like they just have the ability to space the floor quite a bit also with basically everybody but Gafford I know even their non-shooters are hitting shots right now which right so that I mean that could end that’s exactly what happened with the Nuggets or it could not that’s how the heat reached the fire fin so we’ll see yeah I think the series is a long one I mean if I had to guess tonight will probably determine if that is the case um but yeah I think it’s just especially that game one it’s just more evidence that yeah every playoff game is its own story and its own animal and its own thing but so is every playoff series you know yep 100% like Minnesota looks so good against the nuggets and look maybe maybe part of that is like Minnesota was really good but maybe the Nuggets weren’t as good as we thought they were that could be it as well that’s also what I was thinking right in game one of this series maybe the Nuggets just weren’t the um Juggernaut that we thought they might be but also every playoff series is so different and the matchups matter and the matchups matter entirely for the Denver Nuggets totally and I I think the decided best player in the world right now is on a great team but I think something not like like you know the first year of the Miami Heat or whatever and so I think as a result I think I think you’re going to see I talked about this on the last show like I think real basketball heads have always known matchups matter a bit more than we talk about as opposed to just best player versus best player but I think right now in the era of parody which I know you guys love so much love it always loveed parody you guys love when I bring it up love the CBA in that in that era I think we could end up having we could really it’s a little less about like this team is so much better than that team versus this team matches up really well against that team so we’ll see but I I also know that these things can change so quickly within a series and it could change quickly tonight yeah um let’s go to some news from the nuggets as they start their pre-draft process I don’t know if you guys saw this we’re talking about the draft Yeah buckle up Eric it’s over we’re talking about the draft and trade and free agency over the next couple months on this show just prepare your I’m prepared they’re starting up their pre-draft workouts nuggets do hold a first round pick in this draft and a second round pick um next year but um first round pick in this draft late first they’re working out some Colorado guys neck Clifford from CSU and KJ Simpson from CU in for pre-draft workouts now the Nuggets they always work out the local guys I like that they always bring them in um but both those guys potential late first early second round picks I don’t know if you guys watch these guys or are familiar with their games at all but if you look at the draft and the Nuggets drafting late first if they keep that pick what type of player would you want well just just to start with with these two guys I wasn’t super dialed in on your ramies I don’t have ton of NE Clifford thoughts I don’t know if this is if this is a uh a popular thought or Blasphemous thought in in Boulder he looked clearly the best player on that team to me during their run I mean I know Cody Williams is the one right with all the upside and and all the hype and at different ages and all that but KJ Simpson was the most important player on the team he was really impressive to me he was really really impressive I’m not a I’m not a scout I’m not going to pretend but in the games that I watched I really liked KJ Simpson so he’s a 6’2 guard and he’s a score he’s a Score first guy you know 20 points a game around that last year and he shot over 43% from three and over I think in the high 80s or low 90s from the line so he’s going to be a good shooter he’s an offensive guy kind of undersized Score first point guard and then Nick Clifford from CSU he’s kind of like a do everything Wing yeah no I I watched him quite a bit no he had games where he was and he used to go to se you yes and he’s from Colorado Springs so he’s like a a serious Colorado guy no he’s he’s long um he’s good defensively he has a good shot um he wasn’t like the most consistent player I’ve ever seen in my life but he’s also like I mean he has like a a rangy like NBA body sort of like he I don’t know to to me he might be on a little a little bit on the small side for I imagine he’ll be a three um I like him all right like I like I like NE Clifford I mean he listed at 65 65 yeah he’s like I mean he needs to fill out maybe a little bit um but I mean he is a good player he really is a good player and I he definitely has a skill set that could uh that could translate like sometimes his shot was so wet and then you know he’s a college player so like what does that mean like it really it really ebbed and flowed um but I mean it’s interesting but the larger question is what kind of player to the should the Nuggets be targeting I mean you know a sort of a he kind of is like a a three and D type Clifford that’s always a a archetype that you like in the NBA but I mean I think the Nuggets need to Target that backup five like they have kind of a certain type of player on deck in a lot of guys that are already on the roster like NE cliffer Hunter Tyson they’re sort of you know they’re like a little bit in the same mold like it’s tough because they just drafted a bunch of guys they’re all kind of different positions except that only thing we don’t have up is the backup big which via you know for agency thus far has just been their designated minimum contract slot with the capat sheet as it is it seems like no GMS care about backup centeres if you have a good one but if the best way to get one you know is in the draft depending on how you feel about how the recent Hall will play out maybe it’s time to start thinking about it we’ll see I mean I don’t the bigger the bigger thing than having a backup five is I think Malone just committing to playing one uh which kind of is part of what’s been saying I he might like developing one versus just being given one being given to one a rental that trust or those guys that you know like the javil McGee uh Isaiah harinstein uh the guy from the Lakers um Thomas Bryant Thomas Bryant yes who didn’t make a didn’t make a single Basket in nuggets un he made zero baskets actually it was shocking that was so rough but yeah Malone never plays those guys but we need a backup five we need a backup five I think the rubber is meeting the road with that this off season it feels like God D I never want to have that conversation again but it’s so obvious man I I see I I’m have two minds of it in that on one hand if your biggest weakness is how you look when your best player is off the floor well that’s how it’s always going to be for the Nuggets right I mean not the worst problem in the world on the other hand if part of the question is getting joic rest throughout the season without necessarily making him Miss games just not having to play x amount of minutes or whatever that would be a nice option especially because as it stands the next best option is to tire out Aaron Gordon so perhaps that conversation finally has reached its I know Tipping Point it feels like it must have the summer what about DJ Burns well you s that uh is that making it appear on it’s not not uh we heard from sham shiria of the athletic right yeah stadium that he saw him recently in a workout he’s lost 45 pounds although I think I watched they said 25 PB 25b is a that’s a tremendous amount of weight no OIC either no OIC that wondering no OIC yeah I wouldn’t have guessed that if I know like just got just got to make it very clear even though nobody’s asking I’m like yeah he’s like a college age athlete we’ve reached the uh point in human history where obesity and Co are the same thing just general sickness where you could be like oh man I lost some weight people like wait o zic or you can be like it’s the first thing anybody thinks you’re like hey I’m sick and like is it co he’s telling people it’s 45 he’s telling people it’s 45 can’t just be sick or lose weight like it has to be called an AG right how did this college athlete star get in shape OIC my first guess he first of all he plays in NC State you know what I mean like who’s the OIC plug in North Carolina oh my god well that an what are they a third world country no I’m just saying like it’s it’s a bit more of an LA fat I feel like than a it’s kind of probably a fat everywhere all right probably whatever win I think it’s more soly just got away from like I assume the barbecue of North Carolina that might be no OIC which saying that makes me think it was OIC that’s actually a good point did DJ burds bring that up unprompted he’s like I want you to know I lost5 or oh I was going to say maybe he’s inking a sponsorship deal with those mic oh my god dude but that would mean that would he if that was the case he would say I lost 45 PBS with OIC unbelievable all the same he says he’s been waking up at 5:00 a.m. and working out sounds much more plausible that actually sounds like a that might be it as an athlete that actually sounds like with with NBA aspirations yeah so I mean everybody loved his story his presence and more than anything his shot his touch yeah is it the same though if he doesn’t have that OIC lless B dude right he loses a little of the um the Mystique the Mystique the cult her the NCAA cult hero yeah but the thing here’s the thing you can’t be a cult hero and an NBA player that’s true you know what I mean this is like um Haring go and uh yeah like the who’s the other one that played Forever at summer leag the other Notre Dame big um he’s like Mr summer league is it hering go it’s him or the other one but you guys get what I’m saying Drew Timmy there’s another one or like a famous mustache guy that plays at you know like Loy or something yeah but you can’t do that and be an NBA star so I think DJ Burns was like who who am I he was like which Avenue do I want to go do I want to be this guy forever or do I want to maybe play cuz he’s undersized even when he was so oversized right so now if he’s undersized and is now undersized is he just undersized yes okay well first of all brilliantly said hey thanks bro all right let’s hit a break and we’ll get to some fake trades on the other side then we’ll go to rep repent Corner oh my god dude we need go online I need to repent big we also need to repent right now for accusing DJ Burns of actually using oics we’re not we’re not doing that we’re not I think I did I implied it all righty Toyota is the official vehicle of dnvr

seon dude it’s like it’s like wearing a an old pair of casual shoes you know what I mean yeah or a casual Cancun hat just slips right on man you stole that from your dad right there’s no way that that is was primarily no I have a Cancun hat I wasn’t going to wear it before the Nuggets lost wait hold on can you take me through the acquisition of this Cancun hat yeah I got it the same way I got all my hats I couldn’t tell you or remember it’s just in my closet that definitely looks like a hat from the Cancun Airport yeah I’ve never been to Cancun so your guess is as good as mine but I have it a kid C hat that you don’t know the origin of yeah have you met me that’s most of my clothes I’m like this is just here now I mean even though you’re like a irresponsible insane person still how does a hat materialize in your in your does this did you take it from somebody I’m a little used to it so I don’t even know if I could give you that answer that’s just kind of how it goes for me all right well I put together 10 fake trades that I think would make the nuggets a better team okay let’s go and um most of them involves Nai and Reggie Jackson okay okay as in as in not playing on the Nuggets oh in the trade I see in the trade yeah yeah okay let’s see here’s number one nuggets add offensive Firepower this is my this is best case scenario of any trade I think I can come up with okay nuggets get Bogdan bogdanovich for Zeke Naji Reggie Jackson Hunter Tyson and a first round picko and this is you’re looking at this obviously to this just replacing kcp is is this for the bench well you got to think kcp could be gone but if he comes back man bogdanovich would be an awesome guy to have Off the Bench yeah as a guy that you know since Murray showed himself to be somebody that really just ran with the bench where he just literally just ran with the bench he didn’t actually shoot or score or make anyone better they need scoring Off the Bench for sure I hate the idea up of giving up on Hunter Tyson so soon the bird but listen you guys feel that attached to Hunter all all NBA Summer League first teamer Hunter Tyson I’m open to getting that attached to Hunter Tyson I just can’t say I’m there yet well you’re I mean listen you’re right you’re right bogdon bod donovich is is a great player he also is it or bdon this is bdon this is BD um yeah I just I want to see what I want see what Hunter his got first can we try to let’s let’s role play uh in the in the normal basketball we’re the Atlanta Hawks front office why do we want to take that trp well we don’t know what we’re doing well bogdon bogdanovich was yelling at Quinn Snyder in a huddle during a timeout late in the season was he yelling in Serbian probably maybe that’s what I would do first of all he’s like do and the Hawks just got the first overall pick they probably will want more draft picks I would think they’d take a turn towards a rebuild I don’t know though what do you think that yeah where are the Hawks right now they’re in the middle but how did they get the first overall pick in the middle that’s unbelievable no it actually was unbelievable point this might tip them they were kind of in no man’s land they they couldn’t get a good dejonte Murray trade before but would they maybe settle for a different one now kind of start the wheels on on returning that roster over so it’s the it’s the first round pick right is the is the prize if you’re the Atlanta Hawks there yeah and look maybe not a future first rounder not the first rounder in this draft because this draft sucks also if the Nuggets want to trade their first round or just a couple caveats it has to be on draft night just because of the future picks they have and the steppan rule uh and also they can only trade Zeke Nai and Reggie Jackson together in a deal if they’re under the second apron but they will be you know when kcp declines his player option so that he will decline it and then they could do one of these trades and then you could still even resign him I got to tell you every time we go into draft scenarios and this particulars of what trade is available how you can do it feels like your when your friend explains a very complicated board game to you yeah you just sort of like you’re like oh so wait I can’t use the magic enhancer until unless you roll a 20 unless I’ve captured a dragon I haven’t captured a dragon yet okay so I’ll sit on that the second apron uh what a terrible phrase I hate that phrase every time ter thing also I know it really is it’s going toak potentially break up the Nuggets oh man I always thought we would do that I’m surprised you’re as invested in Hunter Tyson as you are I fell in love with him during summer league I those bonds are hard to break listen I and Powerful falling in love with somebody in Vegas is a bond that is hard to I out of love with Jay Huff in summer league and in love with Hunter Tyson and I cannot be I can’t be talked out of either until they prove me wrong okay I don’t know if Destiny was a real name all right we can move on it was love though I tried to people tried to cancel me on the internet for this one so we can probably move past it pretty quickly but Josh gidd is available to be traded I don’t think it would take a lot to get him and he’s pretty good I think for a bench what are we what are we giving up Zeke Nai and a second and uh cord probably a minor oh my God like I said we can probably SK past this but I did hear that the Thunder had been interested in zek Nagi in the past that’s tough after that year now they’re sold uh dude Josh Kitty is in a rough spot man he’s currently the most booed player in the NBA and he can’t shoot so he got and but I mean like you’re not going to shoot when everyone on Earth is booing you man I it’s tough to even comment on this one I mean I don’t think any team’s going to talk themselves into Josh gidy you’re not going to talk me into Josh giddy I’ll tell you that all right up next another Serbian nuggets get a backup point guard vasam of Serbia and of the Charlotte Hornets I got to think some of our uh Chatters will enjoy this trade for Zeke Nai in a second round pick I love that all of your trades are just a pandering to our they’re all serbians or felons yeah they’re my god dude who am I pandering to myel the Chatters our Chatters well not the not the second one but it’s just you’re just like all you’re like all what if we could get uh I don’t y his brothers here here’s the thing on Vasa I on Vasa backup point guard good man who actually played very well for Charlotte once he got traded there and actually got to play a little average 11.6 assists and did start a lot now you’re probably asking why would Charlotte give him up if he played so well well lamelo ball was hurt end of the season that’s why he started they’ve got some other young point guards that they’ve put assets towards like for first round picks in the past you think they want to get those guys playing time and so I I wonder if meic would be available I don’t think the Hornets would ask for much uh maybe Denver would have to give up more in terms of draft Capital here but he feels like an upgrade at backup point guard and and a piece that they don’t need to hold on to really for any reason you’re not going to get a huge haul for him if you’re Charlotte but he also doesn’t even though he played well I was going to say it doesn’t fit into Charlotte’s timeline Charlotte doesn’t even have a time I know yeah Charlotte’s just trying to figure out what day of the week it is maybe Vasa is a acquirable cheap uh backup guard and I would be in I honestly I would be in of course of course especially like if we’re talking about who he would replace which is Reggie Jackson like that would be you know that that that’s a a very reliable player that was an MVP of the Adriatic League which I don’t know if you knew this joic was also the MVP of the Adriatic league so that’s I like that not adri he won thep ear oh there you go well there we go mistaken and they’ll also be playing together potentially for Serbia later the summer yeah all right next trade I think you’ll like this one dline is it which Serbian is involved it’s not a Serbian it’s step Adams Zeke Nai Reggie Jackson a second round pick Stephen Adams who was hurt the whole season whole season for like two seasons that’s a big caveat for quite some time really he’s older he’s probably going to come with some injury concerns but man that would be a great backup center option for the Nuggets to go who could move better right now Stephen Adams coming off injuries DeAndre Jordan last season good question the fact that I don’t know the answer to it gives me some pause that is really the only reason I asked the question yeah but I mean is be like best you know if C Adam somehow made this miraculous comeback and looked fresh you know couldn’t sign me up fast enough yeah do you like Steph Adams I mean I like I as a human being I love Stephen Adams y famously says that he’s the only guy who like doesn’t talk trash to him in the league yeah yeah CU he’s just like a great guy um yeah he’s good on boards he’s obviously really strong the nuggets are in a weird place where they play so such a unique way with their Center obviously with niika yic that you then have to be like do we try and mirror that on the second like do we want to keep that play style the entire time or does it completely flip how we play When the second unit comes in and then you have to play a more traditional you know big big down low with their back to the basket which is like a big shift in style and that could could be detrimental I think for like a lot of players that are trying to figure out how to play alongside each of those guys like a Payton Watson or somebody that might sort of flip-flop between the first the starting unit and the second unit he’s a good player for sure um and they do need a a backup big to me this is like another backup big that Michael Malone doesn’t favor you don’t think Adams is like just his style established enough for Malone to be like all right I’m just playing him every night I mean we all the guys we had were established enough to play every night yeah I don’t know what do you guys think I it’s obviously depends on his health yeah and I have no idea what his health looks like but um you bring up a good point about the style and how would Payton Watson go from play with Adams to then joic and the how that’s completely different but I mean I think at this point you just need a competent guy there regardless of the style and then figure the other stuff out later yeah he’s just a guy that that seems like if he could stay on the floor he would have utility and it’s just the bar is low for that role yeah we’re really just talking about be being a zero and not a negative at the moment how do we get Mason plumbley back is that in here somewhere I believe he’s a free agent so he’s not in the fake trade article I also think that’s the next article I think Mason plumbley 10 for Asian signings when he started his career there was kind of a bit more room for the young athletic really athletic kind of traditional Center then the Warriors thing happened a little bit and then now the center position’s back but he also had to spend a lot of time backing up joic I kind of think he always wanted to play more as my point that’s why he signed some of the deals he did was just to get playing time but that was years ago like things have changed like Jason plumbley is now one should be one of the top backup bigs in the like when we had you’re right about where his mindset should be he’s 34 now yeah and like when we got him he was probably the low like in the bottom five of starting centers he was still in the prime of his career but he was in the prime of his career but he was never like a top starting center and then joic pushed him to the bench and it was like he wanted more playing time and he also famously wanted to get the hell out of the bubble which I don’t we can’t really comment on one way or the other but um he’s just a he’s a passing big man yeah he’s a guy that you feel like all right we don’t have to completely change everything when yic goes off the floor even though you don’t use him as like much of a fulcrum as you do yic at least the alignments are the same and some of the philosophies are the same I also think as far as getting an Adam’s archetype I think they we got to sort of abandon this mindset of trying to mirror how the nuggets play when yic is on the floor cuz there’s not even a starting center in the league that you can do that with maybe Damonte sabonis and a regular season setting let’s get him so you might have to give up Hunter Tyson you know what a huge Pro part of the problem is is teams don’t practice anymore legitimately because I think the whole practice should just be the guys that play when jic doesn’t play figuring out how they play together let’s just run a 100 dhos with pton Watson and Nicole y there’s your practice or like if yic is off the floor and whoever your backup bigot just practice with your back back up it figure out what you would run with that person but no one practices anymore so that’s part of the problem I think um cuz I don’t know you’re going to be able to to replicate yic Off the Bench no you can’t replicate him but you can at least replicate the structure right I that’s it’s a good point it’s a good point all right let’s get another break we got six more trades to run through on the other side so we’ll get through those really quickly and then we’ll uh move on after this you know what pairs well with the season you know what pairs well with the off seon Miller Light I love when it’s Miller time because when it’s Miller time that means I get to drink Miller lights and no one even questions it because it’s Miller time why would I not be do why would I not drink isn’t that crazy though it’s always Miller time that’s how I feel some people in my life respectfully disagree it’s not Miller time when you’re brushing your teeth but it could it could be shower beer is underrated make Miller time responsible but make it a great time with Miller white the best the original light beer let me check my watch what what do you know Miller time oh look at that it is a Friday it is a casual Friday bro I like the light beers because I’m old now and when I don’t drink light beers I gain weight we know and I get super hung over Miller Light keeps it simple unbeatable quality Great Taste only 96 calories and again they’re the original they’ve been doing this the whole time and uh yeah times changed but you can always enjoy the great taste of millerite taste like millerite to get millerite delivered right to your door visit millerlite.com / gmvr or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer celebrate responsibly Miller Brewing Company Milwaukee Wisconsin 96 calories for 12 O also you can play Underdog fantasy the easiest place to play fantasy sports right now take the over on Tatum tell and tell Brandon rep whatever it is the worst the worst part of this run is that you could just have been taking the unders the whole time and you could be in Cancun right now until he repents do you know what it’s like to watch Tatum take a horrible shot the Pacers cut the lead back to single digits and then Derek white hits a wide open Catch and shoot three cuz that’s been my entire life it feels like all right I digress they also have um a Caitlyn Clark boost that they’re doing for every three she hits that night your Boost increases by 3% so you can get in on Caitlyn Clark as well if you’re watching the WNBA I think she’s starting to figure it out she’s had a tough start but she’s figuring out a little bit she is own five they are five she’s like playing on the equivalent of the Pistons the pick like the pick does not include the team to win man you just got to believe CL sign up today with promo code dnvr claim your special pick plus firsttime deposit offer up to $250 in bonus cash under fantasy with the

your play call 18005224700 okay let’s continue on the fake trades this next one is for a point guard okay the trade is Zeke Nai regie Jackson two second round picks for Dennis shuder of the Brooklyn Nets Dennis shudder who had a very good season with the Nets yes coming off a good year but shuder this feels that feels like a big upgrade at backup point guard it’s true he does feel a little bit like he lives in the Reggie Jackson mold yeah similar type of player similar type of player yeah better Defender little younger better overall player better overall player Dennis shuder let me know what you guys think in the in the Toyota chat as well it’s a yes for me he averaged 14 and a half points six assists 41% from three last year I mean listen like go considering what you are theoretically giving up yet of course definitely yeah I honestly for me and I don’t mean to be two blunt are brutal with it but it’s just the question of is your backup point guard next year Reggie Jackson or Dennis shuder and I I would take the louder personally yeah I don’t know if the Nets want to give up shter they can’t really tank because they don’t own their own first pick first round pick they have Phoenix’s so it doesn’t really matter to them if they tank or not but um just an interesting guy next up another backup center power forward Bobby poris oh Zeke Naji Reggie Jackson a future first for Bobby poris feels Steep and who else who do you have Chris Livingston salary filler I mean it feels Chris Livington I presume it feels steep but then the last trade looked a little light I mean the truth is no one’s too excited for Reggie Jackson and zek naagi you have to sweeten this up with some picks so golly a first round pick for Bobby poris Bobby poris you get a guy who’s a lock for your off rotation y a lock to be your third big he can play back up Center he can spell Aaron Gordon that power forward he’s a playoff caliber big man you’re right and you know lest we forget Zeke n Zeke Naji vatco chanter should be making his return that is true so that’s uh that’s like if that’s not the Twin Towers that’s that the twin uh something a little small you have another big yeah the T the twin smaller Towers uh but that’s interesting it’s interesting I hate the idea of giving up a first round pick for Bobby poris but it is a an absolute upgrade from the no one that we have I guess from the from Zeke Nagi I just don’t think the the messed up part is I don’t think you’re getting a Bobby Porters without including a a a juicy pick and that may sound weird but it again man it’s like teams aren’t frothing at the mouth to to take Zeke and Reggie well don’t forget they I mean they might be interest like it might be the two second round picks don’t forget that they gave up five second round picks to get um what’s his name the the guy with the dreadlocks that was on the Suns that uh Jay Crowder Yes they give up five second round picks to get Drake J Crowder so they might be looking to restock that that cabinet a little bit yeah all right last fake trade because I don’t think we’re going to have time to go through them all this is a kcp replacement Cory kissper whoa who I’ve actually heard has fans within the Nuggets organization Nai Hunter Tyson in a second round pick that that DC nuggets pipeline Cory kissper absolute knockdown shooter laser 38% from three on over six attempts per game he’s kcp on offense not on defense not on defense I mean that’s the thing about losing kcp man I think you could bring a defender in all promote Christian Brown I think he might be able to go get a shooter yeah can he get a true three and D two guard the way Pope has been able to be at the peak of his powers and that’s that is not an easily replaceable piece that’s so true the nuggets have to have defense in that spot they have to in that starting unit yeah they they have to like that’s because that’s the thing about playing with niika yic is it you have to have good point of attack defense because he’s not going to be a rim protector and especially if you pair him with Aaron Gordon who’s reasonable at protecting the rim but is not his strength either that’s what just happened in the den we can also I I think our guy Ray in the chat just said it we can also apply the kcp kind of like filter here you should expect everyone to be 11 to 16% better once they at least once they leave the Washington Wizards just and join niio yeah like you’re just however you you you looked there how dude the question how much better is Ray since he moved from DC to here what’s a guy 11 to 16% better right I would think so but I obviously would just love kcp yeah I I just can’t I don’t think you can do that especially if you’re saying prepared for it to not Happ no way yeah should we go to repent Corner really quickly it’s time dude it’s time let’s go to repent Corner dude we have been so I would say proud in the face of the basketball gods for some time and we didn’t even realize it frankly at a certain point you have to look as you said as any good blogger SL podcaster must at some point look inward that is part of the job every the bask of all gods we didn’t know that we were do what that what we were doing was wrong but the results speak for themselves and so if you guys I can go first I don’t know if you guys have things you need to get off your chest but I flew too close to the Sun I really I got too proud and too happy about the Denver Nuggets especially when it came to the Minnesota Timberwolves fan base even though I was specifically talking about the jabronies that were in the chat taunting us I called the whole fan base adorable adorable I was thanks a lot I was again specifically talking about the jabronies in the chat now they tell me I’m in the chat I’m just trying to write pieces I didn’t mean for to seep out but obviously our words have weight here on this podcast yeah and big Market dline stepped out of line and I want to seek not only the apologies of you my pod mates but the basketball basketball Gods themselves please forgive me I’m sorry pod baates makes me want to retire co- let’s go with co-hosts vote would you like to repent for anything now it’s the time vote all right so I may have personal probably thought that the Celtics would lose to the nuggets in the finals and I may or may not have put every single chip metaphorically or literally in my possession into the center of that table and the Celtics are currently enjoying the easiest run in the history of the playoffs and the Denver Nuggets see see that’s that’s too proud a description you’re putting qualifiers on it basketball gods do not like qualifers they don’t like qualifiers bro the game’s the game the Boston Celtics did nothing wrong that feels dirty I don’t care you know what I’m quadrupling down they’re losing in the finals they’re losing to the West I’m sorry for absolutely nothing oh my God during repet quarter yeah let me find a better one I have a better one the basketball gods do not like this vote we asked for the attention to the basketball gods for you to get even more flamb boy they’re taking their attention off the playoffs for one hour and putting it on the show and they get that this is what we get here’s what I will apologize for look deep in the mirror here’s what after round one mpj was looking real nice and I tweeted where would the Denver Nuggets be without Michael Porter Jr and that aged like the carton of milk that’s in my fridge right now and I’m very sorry I’m very sorry I should have waited I should have counted my eggs before they hatched that’s on me please forgive us basketball please forgive me basetball please forgive us please all right let’s hit a final break

are here in the Toyota Lounge driven by your Front Range Toyota stores Toyota the official vehicle of dmvr you guys in the Toyota chat bring at the whole show hell yeah let’s go online with dline kale hit it let’s go inside the internet telling how strange it will get we look at memes and we’ll look at gifts everyone will try to riff it’s online with d line with d line today wow welcome into online with dline finally what everyone has been clamoring for for me to get a solo camera shot on this goddamn show uh kale I’ve been spending a lot of my time online since the season ended I’ve come to realize that it really wasn’t about winning the title it was about the friends we made along the way and I just want to bring some of the things I’ve been watching to you the viewer and to my pod uh my c-pods my esteemed pod mates my pmates uh kale can you bring up the first one so there’s been a trend going around where somebody pointed out that you can make any NBA player look like an All-Star through reals and Tik toks let’s watch the Reggie Jackson mixtape here oh baby let’s do it we got to put the uh yeah we can’t use the the S but look at this oh the high leg kick fell over on that the cake the jum the Reggie the Reggie uh it really is amazing these are all things he did this year but if you put them all together in a Clippers jersey well but I mean like this is all the exact same thing we got from the Reggie Jackson experience but if you put it all together you’re like God damn how do we get Reggie Jack the best one I saw these was Alfred Payton Alfred Payton looked like magic freaking Johnson in this mixtape yeah I saw Kendrick Perkins where it looked he basically looked like Prime Shack as the uh he was just dunking on guys and like watching tape on YouTube they cut out all the misses yeah you’re like man I was really grinding away yeah dude uh so it’s really true it’s impossible to make an NBA player look bad if you I even saw thanasis onto TMO one yes yes well there were a couple that I was laughing at and then there were like a couple old nuggets that I felt bad about I like there was a Kenneth fared one I was like he was good and there was a Will Barton one I was like he was good he was good so I couldn’t bring it but then the Reggie Jackson and the Clippers jersey I felt was like very appoo to the the I I did see that going around online online well listen you’re online I’m online we’ve got time on our hands kale what else going on online these days you know uh we are in the new era of Transportation uh hold on I’ll tell you to start it when um drones have taken over really the conversation when it comes to transportation of the future how you’re going to potentially deliver items to people um how you’re going to get things around um these drones are getting bigger and Bigg and more impressive K let’s watch this one it makes you hopeful for the future I feel like see the Dr look at this big goddamn thing so that’s huge that’s taking up almost the whole Lane on road we’re like this is like flying cars the next thing if you use this if you extrapolate oh my God you know what that was the the Nuggets after game five that was the Nuggets after game five you think whoever’s flying that drone would have been smart enough to be like let’s not launch it on a busy street well there’s a couple things at play here one that could easily have been staged probably was number two uh yeah like not a lot of forethought not clear what they were trying to get accomplished also hilarious that just felt like a Wy coyote cartoon um yeah so I uh we’re changing the camera battery this was it was a tough stall time stall no it’s okay you could you never know you never know well that only was the the timing terrible the timing is still terrible what um nothing is Chang have you ever flown a drone I have flown a drone um but like not very successfully there were like drones um like are more overstated in their abilities I feel like yeah but like they’ve really they obviously because they have cameras on them we see them just like flying up but then if you yourself like you’ve seen like drone races yeah crazy but I can’t do that like every time I try and if I fly to if I tried to fly a drone it would go like that I’ve uh yeah every time I’ve FL flown a drone it goes into the wall it goes into the floor it goes into somebody and then I’m like I don’t what what the point what is the point of this goddamn thing uh kale are we back now can we go can we go back online that’s all we got on drones okay uh what else is going on online these Day hot new debate just dropped Harrison wind sent this kale can you pull the photo up likeo water drink what y’all grabbing I’ll tell you myself I I drink water in that I have to 80% of my body is made of water that’s just me I’m built different oh we’re built the same um when I go into the convenience store I simply pick the biggest cheapest bottle okay so I I want to know from the finicky water drinkers what would you choose if given the opportunity there not Dan Dan’s disgusting bottom tier bottom tier absolutely disgusting I’ll take it to right now I don’t care it’s terrible um I usually go smart water smart water I think it tastes good and it’s not the most expensive it’s like middle tier and it is large I like that and it is a lot of water I actually end up with a Smart Water often times smart water I think it tastes good and like I said not as expensive as like a Voss or Essentia and I want to say ethos water except they’re only available in Starbucks and $7.75 that’s an airport water yeah you’re right have you guys have you guys had Voss though it’s so good yeah it is good it’s just too expensive but it’s so good I I will take a Dan I’ll take Dan is so bad

online these days I think I have one more here so you guys you guys are familiar with uh Wheel of Fortune Wheel of Fortune very wholesome game where you play it’s aired during you know the time when your grandmother is watching children get off school um a guy had a pretty guess that he felt very confident in which looking back I don’t know even why he felt confident in this kale let’s find out

historic Boston event the Boston Massacre the Boston Tea Party The Siege of Boston we might need witnessing a new one the Boston C I was nervous about that one for a second they should called the

himself and the rest is history kuso for mpj I do nothing like the full body language analysis full armchair psychologist to go into a trade proposal how come that one didn’t come a trade proposal that’s not even legal or possible not even legally possible makes like no money compared to Porter and I don’t think the Bulls are trading him because the Bulls never tank the Bulls never take what
