00:00All right, let me ask you about this trade in the NBA.

00:05Not the one that Holiday, we already saw that, go for Simon.

00:09But just now, the Pelicans traded C.J. McCollum, Kelly Olenek,

00:14a future second-round pick to the Wizards for Jordan Poole,

00:20Sadiq Bey, and the number 40 pick.

00:22So Jordan Poole moves again.

00:25He's moved twice since Green punched him in the mouth.

00:28You know what?

00:30So I guess they figure that Jordan Poole sort of replaces Brandon Ingram, right?

00:36Brandon Ingram didn't play last year for the most part,

00:39but Brandon Ingram's on the Raptors right now.

00:41So, you know, they bring in a new score.

00:44Say what you will about Poole.

00:45He can light the bucket up, Scott, right?

00:47He can score.

00:49Yeah.

00:49But to me, this is like, all right,

00:51the Pelicans are a train wreck of an organization.

00:54Let's just call it out for what it is.

00:55And, you know, the Wizards builds a little depth here, Scott.

01:00I mean, if there was a team that got, like, just absolutely devastated

01:05by the NBA draft lottery, it was the Wizards.

01:08Not only did they not get the first pick,

01:11but they had, like, the sixth pick.

01:13Yeah, the sixth.

01:14Yeah, like, it's just a complete nightmare for the Washington Wizards in this draft.

01:18Speaking of the draft, too, Scott.

01:19They're going to get Ace Bailey at six.

01:21That's where he's going to fall to.

01:23Yeah, do you believe that?

01:25Do you really think that Bailey's going to fall?

01:27I didn't believe it when I first heard it,

01:29but it sounds to me like Philly's not interested in him.

01:33You know, this thing with Bailey is,

01:34and Boca just scored their first goal in the 25th minute.

01:37The thing with Bailey is, Scott,

01:39he's refused interviews and meetings with every team.

01:43So, I don't know what his...

01:45What's his problem, bro?

01:46Yeah, what his method, like, he bailed on the Sixers the other day.

01:49The Sixers are drafting third.

01:51I know.

01:52All right?

01:52So, like, supposedly he refused to meet with anybody after the top three

01:57because he believes...

01:59The top two.

02:00Because he believes that he's a top two pick.

02:02You're not.

02:03Like, figure it out, bro.

02:04You're not.

02:05But I don't think he falls to six.

02:07And I don't want to be put off by that, Scott,

02:10that he blew the Sixers off in a meeting.

02:12Because if the Sixers like him,

02:14I mean, isn't he the third best player in a draft?

02:16I mean, well, him and...

02:17I don't know.

02:18Him and Harper.

02:19I said that the other day on the show,

02:21that he's still the third best player in the draft.

02:24And I got to tell you, after...

02:26Literally, when you get down past nine and ten,

02:31I mean, it gets real sketchy.

02:33I mean...

02:34It does.

02:35Oh, yeah.

02:36It does.

02:37Hey, my bet is...

02:39Malawak, the kid from Duke,

02:41gets taken by the Toronto Raptors

02:43with the ninth pick overall.

02:45That's a little better.

02:46He's soft, though.
