00:00I don't think they're going to move Jalen Brown.

00:02I don't think they're going to move Derek White.

00:04But I think they have to listen if they get a good offer.

00:06And if a team offers enough, they're open to moving those guys.

00:10I believe that.

00:11And if they're not doing that, then Brad's not doing his job.

00:15And if you think Brad's a good executive, you believe he's doing his job.

00:17He should be listening on deals like that.

00:20And on the right offer, he should pull the trigger.

00:22Yeah, the Tatum injury opens the door up to probably every possibility.

00:26And I think if Danny Ainge was here, we know he'd be listening.

00:30On everybody.

00:30And I think Brad Stevens, even in his couple seasons in charge,

00:34he's kind of proven that he'll at least listen on everybody and make some big moves.

00:39And so, yeah, I think so.

00:42Because they have so many guys on their team that could be on the move

00:48for a bunch of different reasons, right?

00:50Just getting under the second apron or maybe it's kind of performance.

00:54Like, is Porzingis really worth $30 million?

00:56Is Drew Holiday really worth what he's being paid

00:59and all this stuff.

01:00And so once you get a GM on the phone, you might be talking about one player,

01:04but then that quickly turns to another player.

01:06And then you're like, oh, I didn't even think this was possible.

01:07And then you don't even really realize who's available from that other team.

01:12And then things change.

01:13I think he's going to be as busy as any GM in the entire NBA this summer.

01:18So we've gone through Jalen deals we would do.

01:21Like, again, for instance, the Bucs say, we'll give you Giannis for Jalen.

01:23You have to do that.

01:24Reluctantly, yeah.

01:25Phoenix says, here's Devin Booker.

01:27We want Jalen Brown.

01:28You do it.

01:29So we've gone through deals.

01:30And Cooper Flagg.

01:31Yeah, Dallas is the number one pick.

01:32I wouldn't do it for the number two pick in San Antonio.

01:34Dallas, I would.

01:35So we've gone through deals where examples of.

01:37I wouldn't do it for Durant.

01:39Right, me neither.

01:40Yeah, the two picks a good one.

01:41Yeah.

01:41So we've gone through examples of what it would take to pull the trigger, for me anyway, if

01:47I'm Brad Stevens.

01:48What would you actually want for Derek White?

01:51Oh.

01:52That's a hard one.

01:53Maybe you just know it when you see it.

01:54But if you're trading Derek White, and I think you could get a haul for Derek White.

02:00You're not getting a haul for Drew Holiday.

02:01You're not getting a haul for Porzingis.

02:02You're probably not getting a haul for Jalen Brown.

02:04But when you say haul, I'm not looking for a Mikel Bridges four first-round pick exchange.

02:09But I think that's the only reason you'd really trade.
