Reacting To More NBA Trade Rumors

Reacting To More NBA Trade Rumors

Okay boys let’s talk about some more trade stuff specifically guys who I haven’t talked about so far if I’ve missed something between this video and the one I did I don’t know like a week ago now or whatever my bad start with Terry Rosier who’s been getting buckets

This year for the Hornets nba.com says his pull-up threes are at 40% on the season I was watching just some of his stuff I mean it’s it’s pick and rolls it step backs it’s relocating as someone’s driving and then catch and go from there he’s having the best two-point shooting

Season of his career a lot of that through like pull-up twos and floaters and stuff the thing with the horn is that they’ve just been injured again like lamelo has played 19 games this year Mark Williams has played 19 games and so now there’s the Rosier noise I

Mean Zack low has brought it up and he’s not going to bring it up if he hasn’t heard something already of course um I’ve seen other reports just saying yeah pretty much the Hornets are open for business basically uh Miami I think has been the most popular team to talk about

For Rosier right now the thing with a potential Miami move and obviously Rosier would I think would fit in well with the heat like they could use just more production out of the point guard spot because KY Lowry is just old of course Rosier would not shoot the ball

As much in Miami he would not run as much as to the offense in Miami and I do think the heat just with bam Jimmy SPO I think they could fit in kind of anybody and make it work defensively right I mean this season like Jimmy and Bam have

Only played 15 games together but when they’re on the court together their defensive rating is like 109 which is a great number and so if you’re concerned about like what could Rosier play with hero and stuff I think Miami can make it work however the thing for the Hornets

Is I don’t think the heat would put yovic in a Rosier trade it pretty much would just be a salaries and picks type of a move and the Heat have a two-year window where their pick is owed to the thunder it’s going to convin this year but it’s still technically owed for two

Years as of this deadline but yeah if the heat are going to get Rosier it’s pretty much going to be Lowry’s contract moving whether it’s two team trade three team trade whatever and hornets are getting picks of course I can be wrong maybe yovic would be in the move but my

Gut just tells me I I don’t think Miami is going to move them and if you’re a Hornets fan that probably doesn’t sound that great uh which is why I will throw you a little bit of a bone I don’t think the Hornets have to trade Rosier I think

They should definitely have the phones open but if an offer comes around that just doesn’t really hit for you you have him under contract for two more years like there is a chance you can wait till the offseason and get a better return for the guy the counter to that being

He’s having his best season and his value might not be better than right now but it just comes down to the offers now we’re going to go on to a recently traded dude in Bruce Brown and the report says that the Raptors want a first round pick and a player back for

Bruce Brown we all like Bruce Brown okay we recognize he can be a player on a title team he can run pick and roll he can screen on the ball he can be tough defensively be a good connecting passer in the flow of the offense cut being

Transition whole thing a pick and a player sounds like a little much unless it’s like a late first from a good team and then the player they’re getting back is like a young guy who hasn’t totally hit but you know different situation maybe he could be better that sort of

Thing now if another team is willing to dip in a little bit more into their draft stuff again not going too crazy maybe you got some extra seconds that project to be good that sort of thing that maybe you could do it without giving up a piece of your rotation for

Bruce Brown the other thing is that Bruce Brown makes $22 million so someone’s got to have that tradeable contract now Philly does they do have the Morris expiring and when I was thinking about this a day ago they were the first team that I kind of thought of

For Bruce brown but we had a report out of the Philadelphia Inquirer saying that the Sixers are unlikely to pursue a deal for Bruce Brown so there you go I guess Miami has been rumored for Bruce Brown as well he’s not exactly what they would like which is a point guard he can

Handle the ball some but he’s not a point guard again the Lowry contract is your moving thing there the Knicks I think have had I mean Bruce Brown even had a quote where he was like yeah I can help out the Knicks uh you know the 4A

Contract and then I guess you’re arguing with Toronto about Quinton Grimes pretty much I mean the Lakers are rumored for other things right now with like Deonte or whatever but yeah Bruce Brown can help him out I mean he’s not like a take a bunch of Threes type of guy but good

Players are good players now let’s go to the kozma rumors there was some Dallas stuff yesterday it seems like there’s always some Kings kozma rumors as well I think on a different team where kozma can be a little more of like a play finisher especially when he’s able to

Get going like off The Catch or if you run him with some off ball screens to where he can catch it on the move and then get downhill I like that a lot on a team that can just create a few more opportunities for kman because on the Wizards he’s got to

Do a lot for them right not to say that he’s like single-handedly getting all of his buckets like obviously he still gets assisted from like D Jones and stuff but the asking price for him right now seems to be two picks that’s just from a

Report out of the Wizards and I look at that as the wizard saying we don’t have to trade this guy so if we’re going to you better give us like a really good offer and for Dallas it doesn’t feel great like I know kozma’s put up over 20

A game on the Wizards right now it’s just the one thing kozma would do for Dallas is he would give them more Rim attempts because he could attack off the catch when the defense collapses on Luka and Kyrie cool might even be able to get some screening actions with him involved

Maybe that being said they need more defense and even if you want to make the argument of well kozma in Dallas would be able to put more energy onto his defense and he would get more open shots created for him it still just doesn’t feel like the move that takes Dallas

Over the top but it does still put them out of draft picks in the future you know what I mean like it would help but it would do enough really the one argument you can make for that is hey bro they got luuka and Kyrie just just

Get one more guy in here and we’re going to the Moon I just I don’t think I can get there with Dallas even if yes they do have luuka and Kyrie and also Dallas already has like picks that are locked up in protections and stuff so that’s

Already a little tougher of an ask for them anyway and as for Sacramento it’s also a similar thing like look the kings are desperate to get more production out of the Harrison Barnes spot than what Barnes has given them so far this year because of his decrease in like Rim rate

And free throw attempts and again kma helps with all those things well not as much with free throw attempts but like scoring inside I mean kozma he’s shooting like 7 5% at The Rim this year but look the Kings they’ve got the next three years of protections on picks and

Stuff so those get tough to move that’s from the Kevin herder trade so they’d have to move picks in the distant future again the Kings or the Wizards are asking for two apparently and even if you want to apply swaps or protections or whatever on those again he would help

No doubt it’s just are you willing to make that move and it makes me feel a little queasy because then you think about your ability to make other moves in the future and you know all that stuff I think next we can go back to Atlanta but we are not going to talk

About Deonte we are going to talk about Clint capella and AJ Griffin and to be clear there are not like hard rumors about capella right now but there’s some stuff if you want to do the Googles and I also saw a podcast with a hawks Insider recently who said that he was

Surprised that U there wasn’t like more of a rumored thing around capella I did just take a look at a bunch of Cavs shot attempts in their last one against the Hawks because I just for some reason need to constantly keep up with the Hawks pick and roll coverage um capella

Sometimes in a drop he’s sometimes higher up on the screens there you go I do Wonder in a different situation if capella was just like in full-time drop which to be fair Atlanta has leaned more into as the year has gone on at the beginning of the year it was like oh my

God their bigs are high up on every single pick and roll um but yeah like could he still be like a huge piece defensively for a team or at least part of a good defense some of that depending of course on you know who the guards are

They fight around screens all that stuff of course Atlanta’s got a Kong wo and he and Capella’s minutes have been pretty similar for a while now anyway finding a capella team is tough because I mean you just do a scan around the league most teams are pretty good with their Center

Position right now man unless you want to put capella in a backup roll or potentially try some double big stuff if you’re going to do that then the big next to Capella needs to be really really good on offense um now I do know that there’s been a little bit of will

The Pelicans trade valent chunis for more of a rim protector stuff and I am just going to predict that that does not happen real quick on AJ Griffin he definitely showed signs in his rookie season of being able to like make catch and shoots work off the dribble

Especially off the catch or if you put him in some off ball actions to where he can catch it on the Move however I think between just the amount of pressure that Atlanta had to win this year with Quin Snyder even if it didn’t end up working

Out like that on top of like the emergence of Jaylen Johnson and stuff I just think it was tough to find minutes on the wing for Griffin he also did miss some time with some personal stuff this year what else do we have we have a lot

Of weird dty noise with the Nets right now of course we have already seen one instance of deny just kind of losing favor with his current team and then he goes to a new one one where he doesn’t have to run as much of the offense and suddenly he’s awesome of course with

Going from the Wizards to the Mavs it would not Shock me if something similar happened again didn’t what he’s been better in his last three games if you want to go crazy over that now I know tus Jones has also been in the rumors a

Little bit he could be a Buy Low option for Miami if they’re like yeah we don’t want to give as much stuff up for Rosier let’s get the more fundamentally sound doesn’t shoot as much assist to turnover God tyus Jones now the one counter to that being tas’s scoring and percentages

Really fall off in the playoffs like he’s never a Score first guy but he’s always been like an efficient 10 points a game guy in the playoffs he comes like an inefficient seven points a game guy at least so far not a guarantee it would keep on happening

some good players
