00:00The magic, they traded for a guy that could shoot from the outside.

00:05There's no denying that Bain is a massive upgrade for them from the outside.

00:12They're a terrible three-point shooting team.

00:15And they had no one that could put the, I mean, they shot 30%.

00:21They got no one that could put the ball in the hole from outside.

00:24All of their activity is Franz and Bancaro in the paint at the 10.

00:30Fair enough.

00:31Now they got an outside shooter.

00:32But there is no way in Sam Hell frozen over that you will ever convince me

00:38or any of these guys that think they're so smart about basketball

00:41that have jobs talking basketball.

00:44I mean, I could do this stuff drunk, okay?

00:47That guy is no more worth five first-round draft picks than I am.

00:51Of five first-round draft picks, I almost had another heart attack when I saw it.

00:57I thought it was, I was reading.

00:59I thought, because I wondered if my, I need new glasses sometimes.

01:02I'm getting older.

01:03So I was like, I went four unprotected and a pig swap.

01:08I go, what in Christ almighty?

01:10I go, you got to be kidding me for Desmond Bain?

01:14I mean, listen, I think Memphis just restocked the cupboard overnight in their rebuild.

01:22And you said it best.

01:24Tell them what you said about John Moran, because there's talk of, you know,

01:27John Moran and Jaron Jackson.

01:28They're not trading Jaron Jackson.

01:30But I think they would do what you think they'll do.

01:32And which is that?

01:33I think that if they got a nice offer for John Moran, I would, I'd run and take it.

01:41Just for the fact that, and forget, we know all the stuff off the court, all that.

01:46It's more, he never plays.

01:47He never plays.

01:48He doesn't play.

01:50You know, he's, he's missed a lot of games.

01:52He's missed a lot of games.

01:53I would, if somebody reached out and was willing to offer me, if I was Memphis, a larger, I

02:01mean, look what they got here for Bain.

02:04You know, they got four first rounders and a, and a pig swap.

02:07The full deal was Kentavious Caldwell, Pope Cole Anthony, four unprotected firsts and a

02:12first round pig swap.

02:13Now I have seen people today say, ah, you got to understand this was out creative outside

02:20the box thinking from the magic, you know, those, if they're good in a, in a weak Eastern

02:26conference, those picks are going to be in the twenties and they needed the shooting and

02:31they get, they, one of those first rounders was for them taking Pope's contract.

02:34And yeah, I kind of, at first glance was with you.

02:37I was like, man, that's, and I think the other thing is people look at it as everything gets

02:42compared now to, uh, the Luca trade, right?

02:45Like, oh, there were, they didn't get four first rounders or Luca.

02:48You know, I got Anthony Davis, you know, that was, you know, you got to remember that part

02:51of it also.

02:52I think it's a little much, uh, does it make the magic better this year?

02:57Sure.

02:58Uh, you know, you may, you put him as the third guy with, uh, bank Carol and with Wagner,

03:03you know, and now you got some outside shooting.

03:06It probably does make them better, but they better be good.

03:09Those picks better not be lottery picks in two years or three years.

03:14That'll be real bad.

03:14Honestly, uh, you, you said it best.

03:19There's nothing else to say other than, you know, thank God it was something other than

03:24the continued saga of Kevin Durant.

03:28It's too much.

03:29Every single day for the last four months, I have heard that this guy's getting traded

03:35every day to the point where I don't care where he gets traded.

03:40And when they trade him, they're going to spend another 72 hours talking about it.

03:45They act like this guy's 23 years old.

03:48I don't, I don't deny still scores 27 a game.

03:52I would score 27 a game.

03:55If I was seven foot tall, no one can stop him.

03:58No one can block his shot.

03:59And the guy can still jump and shoot.

04:01And he barely has to do anything to get his 27.

04:04Literally.

04:05He takes four strides and he's from one end of the court to the other.

04:08Do you understand that he's like Giannis he's, he's long and he just run, you know,

04:13step, step, step, step.

04:15He's on one end, step, step, step, step.

04:17He's on the other, gets the ball, step back, fires.

04:20No one can block his shot.

04:22That's why he's lasted this long, but it takes two months off a year.

04:25So people act like he's going to, what did he, did he win a title in Brooklyn?

04:30No.

04:30Did he win a title in Phoenix?

04:33No.

04:33Is he going to win a title wherever he goes?

04:35No, but I'll bet my bottom dollar, he screws up wherever he goes, just like everyone else.

04:41He, he went everywhere he goes, he screws him up.

04:44It's all about him.

04:46I mean, he couldn't win with Devin Booker and they made your other boy out there in Phoenix.

04:53People don't even remember his name now.

04:55He's so awful now.

04:56They had three superstars and one of them no longer is a superstar.

05:01So far.

05:01She said you're a chef of defense.

05:01She said you're a fan over, it's a superstar.

05:01So far.

05:02But again, they're a Goku player.

05:03You're a fan over for decades.

05:16So far.

05:18I mean, he's gonna have a major how to grow球er, a boutique player in the come club.
