00:00We got to start talking about some NBA action because the action doesn't stop even after the
00:05draft. Donnie writes out it's showing here in the coach James Young fresh off a fresh studio
00:12appearance here for round number one. You know he was following round number two and you know
00:17he was watching the big news already out today which we'll get to in just a few moments. Coach
00:21welcome to the show on a Friday. Love to see you man. Good to see you guys. Usually Donnie the
00:27Friday news dump comes at about 4 p.m. Toronto decided to say hold my beer hold my Canadian
00:35lager as they make a huge move with Masai Ojiri. Coach let's get right into it because sometimes
00:44you see oh we expect that to happen. We knew word was coming down any day. This guy when he made the
00:49trade for Kawhi Leonard and basically put his career on the line knowing that you know Kawhi's a little
00:54bit interesting here and if this doesn't work why did you do that? Why did you blow up a team that
00:58we had? They win the world championship and forget about Kawhi Leonard leaving which I still can't
01:02believe he left Toronto as we were talking about him being like the prince of Canada for the rest of
01:06his life. But Uzay Ojiri has always been thought of one of the smarter intellectual general managers
01:11that anybody would absolutely love to have in their management group and we see today that he's out
01:18in Toronto. Any reasoning that you may have found out why that is? Well listen what a shrewd move
01:25trading DeMar DeRozan to get Kawhi Leonard to go win that championship but if you really look at after
01:31he left the team really didn't play particularly well. I don't know how many have playoff appearances
01:37yet. I know they were out at least the last three years on the playoffs you know as guys not just
01:42uh obviously Cori Leonard leaving but guys like Kyle Lowry leaving uh and then you start making
01:47trades you you know you you had O.J. Anobi you you trade him uh the return wasn't uh fan you know
01:55obviously R.J. Barrett and Emmanuel quickly uh two guys at the Knicks I think maybe were not good maybe
02:01worked to their advantage to get uh a player of O.J. Anobi's stature but then to turn around
02:07Lewis Pastel see Yacom see the Knicks team go to the Easter Conference Finals see the Pacers team
02:13go to the NBA Finals and the returns just haven't been great and you look at a roster it's really
02:18really weirdly constructed uh with quickly I don't know is really a true point guard a couple of two
02:24guards obviously with R.J. Barrett and Grady Dix and you look at the front court uh and you know
02:29with with you know Scotty Barnes yes can't stay healthy Brandon Ingram another guy can't stay healthy
02:35and Yacom Pertl was always on the trading block so if you go into a situation Dottie where you're
02:41going into your last you know the deal the last thing you don't want is to be a lame duck GM so
02:45either you're going to get extended or you're going to get let go Toronto decided to let him go uh and I
02:52think maybe to me one of the more confounding things is if Yacom Pertl is on uh the trading block
02:58all the time you had come on Molly watch sitting at number nine why didn't you make the move and get him
03:04right at night almost seems like that could have been the last straw
03:07well that's what I mean you get new ownership right coach uh out with the old in with the new
03:14the Rogers uh communications group now on the Maple Leafs the Argonauts now the Raptors and
03:20everywhere along the line they've pretty much booted out everyone running the host team when they take
03:26over billionaires have are funny like that coach they can do whatever they want uh but what did the
03:32Utah Jazz do how big a cancer did they draft uh with the fifth pick I'm just curious does he show
03:39up does he not show up and why are we even talking about it because Ace wants headlines I mean obviously
03:46Ace Bailey Walter Clayton Jr. decided to show up and take the flight into Utah whereas Ace Bailey did not
03:52at the end of the day it's going to come down to Monday Monday's going to be according to Brian
03:56when it hurts of ESPN that's when he's got to be there so that's what I'm looking at folks at the
04:01end of the day and we'll get it to my winners and losers uh in in the NBA draft but to me Danny Ainge
04:10and his son were like we're not gonna get bullied we're taking you I think he's one I thought he was
04:16one of the three best players he was number three on my draft board I know people can look at
04:20and others but you can't deny the talent that is Ace Bailey I think his representation sucks let's be
04:28honest now people want to sit there and say he's gonna hold out he's gonna hold out all right folks
04:33let me ask you a question do you know that the number I think the number uh five draft pick I want
04:41to say the amount of money I think is maybe 50 million dollars over four years you actually think
04:49that kid is gonna not take 50 million dollars listen at the end of the day Ace Bailey wants to be a star
04:55yes he told I think multiple teams not to take him listen he wanted Washington he wanted uh the seven pick
05:05which was uh New Orleans and he wanted Brooklyn he wanted an opportunity to be a star anyone that knows
05:14you Utah knows Danny Ainge has been taken for for for five years he's been he's been taken once he got
05:22with a coincider he pivoted they tried to literally tank the season had the worst record in the league
05:29and still got screwed with the number five pick but they still ended up with a guy that I thought was
05:35my number three in my draft board so if I'm Danny Ainge go ahead Ace Bailey you want to ruin your legacy
05:41you don't want to show up fine but if I'm Danny Ainge I'm holding firm I'm saying you're going to
05:48sign this deal whether you like it or not and if you want to hurt your legacy being a star do it at
05:53someone else's expense because you are playing for the jazz like you take a look at it too coach like
05:58we were kids once we both have kids now like everybody that's talked to Ace Bailey while he was
06:03at Rutgers the beat writers there was never any issues with him really good kid fun to talk to love the
06:08game of basketball he's going to be an exciting pro here and then we talk about like getting in with
06:12the wrong crowd that can turn a good kid bad it's like the advice and you're right it it almost is so
06:18counterproductive it almost sounds like the group was like we just want to see if we can sabotage this
06:23guy's career because of how much fun it would be every bit of advice like none of it like yeah oh I want
06:28to go to a team that's going to develop me there are ways you can do that and still ingratiate yourself
06:32because I talked to Joe like like during the show and I'm saying like the Utah fan base wants to love
06:38and all he's doing him right now is giving them a stiff arm which leads you to say you are going
06:43to have struggles as a rookie if you generally don't want to be there that crowd is not going
06:47to be on your side and why would you do the kid's 18 what is his representation doing here well his
06:53family's his representation let me tell you something Donnie no listen we're old school
06:58older school I don't know who's oldest between the three of us but I'll tell you this right now
07:02if I looked at and I said I don't want to go to Utah my dad would have got the belt to switch
07:10whatever court it is and he would have whipped my ass and said you're going to Utah
07:16that's the way it is coach winners and losers coach going to talk about those next in the NBA
07:23we love ourselves some winners and sometimes we even like the losers just a little bit more now
07:29granted we don't know who's even going to take the court for these teams or which players are going
07:33to be on these teams like Ace Bailey if he doesn't show up by Monday are we officially in holdout season
07:38in the NBA for a rookie in the top five we'll find out but coach I know some things did go right for
07:44some of these NBA teams give us some teams that you thought really excelled in the NBA draft
07:48well number one even though he's acting like a damn idiot I still like Utah I mean I thought that Ace
07:56Bailey to me was number three on my draft board I think his ability to score is going to be really
08:03really interesting I think a lot of what Ace Bailey is going to be predicated on in regards to rookie
08:08of the year market guys is what does Danny Ainge do if you really look at this four guys in Utah you got
08:15to be on the lookout for John Collins, Lori Marketing, Jordan Clarkson, Colin Sexton if you continue to tank
08:22you have to be looking to move at least three of them Clarkson, Sexton, John Collins all need to
08:31be moved you got to play guys like Keontae, George, Taylor Hendricks and obviously a player of the
08:36caliber of an Ace Bailey so for Utah getting a top three talent arguably top two talent at pick five
08:43I think is absolutely fantastic second I love what Orlando did getting Jace Richardson where they
08:53did I think that Jace Richardson is such a dynamic score at the point of attack you know you look at
09:00the NBA and these smaller guards allied Jalen Brunson are starting to exceed in this lead because you
09:08can hide them on the defensive end of the floor well number one you don't have to hide Jace Richardson
09:12because he came from Sparty and anybody knows anything about Sparty knows that if you don't
09:17play no damn defense you're not going to play for Tom Izzo but to me now you have an interesting thing
09:22in in in Orlando number one Jalen sucks had a really good year before he got hurt but Jalen sucks is
09:29injury pro right so you need a backup point guard now also what it does for Jamal Mosley Donnie is it
09:36allows you to play different ways right number one you could go with you could put Suggs off the ball
09:44right and play him uh in the backcourt right obviously Jace Richardson and have a good defender
09:50but a guy that can score and shoot the ball at a high clip from three you could go with him and Bane
09:56right two high prolific scores you can go with your backups you can move Anthony Black and go with a
10:01two-point guard setup so now Jamal Mosley has ways that he can mix and match his team in the backcourt
10:07and a team that was the worst three-point shooting team in regards to a flat-out attempts and makes
10:14and percentage now has a guy that shoots it at a 40 percent clip from three uh the other team that I
10:21like uh what they did is a Miami Heat giving Jackie Jonas at pick 20 a phenomenal value uh Miami Heat team
10:30that really has struck out a lot uh Donnie in regards to who they were looking and trying to pick up
10:36right obviously they were in on Duran you know they won a little last year now they have a point guard 15
10:42points a game almost five assists four rebounds six foot five long could play really smart basketball
10:50and now you have a facilitator that can get the ball up to Scary Terry who can get the ball to Hero
10:56who can get the ball to Bam out of Iowa let me tell you something folks and he's going to start
11:01unless you believe that Davion Mitchell is going to start because Davion Mitchell did have a good
11:05playoff if I'm spelled I'm going with KJ at the point so now when you look at the situation where
11:11he's at this could be a kid that can give you 12 13 points and may give you six or seven assists
11:17hello that is value now Donnie that you have in regards to the rookie of the year class right now
11:24and coach let's be reasonable that kid thought he was going a lot higher than number 20 so now you
11:33have a kid with all that talent with a chip on his shoulder and I can't imagine a better place for him
11:38to be than the Miami Heat to be able if he's gonna that kind of work ethic for Miami uh this could be
11:46maybe the uh the best uh the best value pick in the draft we've seen in a long time I agree listen
11:53Joe I had him top 10 I am going 10 you know in my big board he was 10 because of the fact of I thought
12:01as a point guard and I mean that Igor Demit I mean we'll get we'll get to the nets I mean oh my god
12:07like Igor Demit some of these other guys that went before him like KJ is it listen I know people
12:15are going to look at him and say not explosive you know what else they called not explosive
12:20Luka Dodic now I'm not saying white European kid is going to be Luka I'm not I'm don't get me wrong
12:27folks I'm not putting him there but his ability to create and facilitate and being at 6'5 seeing over
12:33sight lines he doesn't have to be this blow by quick offensive player you know what else was a
12:38quick blow by offensive player yeah Tyrese Halliburton he seemed to do pretty goddamn good
12:44by himself you know getting to the basket do what he's got to do so to me I just look at that heat
12:49culture you're down there Joe you know what goes on there it's been a rough couple of years for Riles
12:55it's been a couple of years for Spoh but I really believe in this kid I believe it's going to be
13:02really really good at Miami he's got good coaching he's got good veteran guys around him and if he
13:07can get you in the offense get guy shots and knock down occasional three he's a perfect fit for the
13:14Miami Heat coach some big names went in the second round we're going to get to your losers in just a
13:19few moments here but I'm always interested by seeing a guy that came right down the stretch in
13:23college basketball to be maybe the best overall player in the country drops into the second round
13:27Janai Broome to the Philadelphia 76ers the output is not that he's going to be a 10-time all-star
13:32like maybe Cooper Flagg will be can he be productive in the NBA and what do you think about that pick for
13:37the Philadelphia 76ers listen Janai just continues to get better it's about his ability to score around
13:42the basket but I think guys pull up that that graphic real quick but that this is where you this is why
13:47the NBA goes two days in the draft look at some of these guys that got picked Rashear Fleming
13:51Steel that's why the Suns went up to got him he was top 30 Ryan Kalkbender four-time defensive
13:58Big East defensive player of the year you know the only guy to do that oh yeah that's right that's
14:04a guy named Patrick Ewing he was pretty good himself Chas Lanier shot maker shot taker Tyrese
14:09Proctor winning culture played at Duke that is what's really good and there's another guy that's not on
14:15that list you know right there Donnie in the neck of the woods Eric Dixon I think he's going to have
14:21a sleepy could a productive NBA career the only thing crazy about this NBA draft is the fact that
14:28all these Duke Blue Devil players got drafted and as high as they went they did not win a national
14:33championship just goes to show you in a one-game playoff like an NCAA tournament anything can happen
14:38even collapses there the coach and Joe will take you through the rest of TEL next stay tuned all right
14:44welcome back in here the early line on this Friday Joe and Ari alongside the coach James Young
14:51here as uh we're taking a look back over the last 48 hours with some of the positive moves and some of
14:58the teams that were winners but coach let's talk about some of the losers because I feel like there
15:04were some there were a lot more losing teams uh in this draft than there might have been winners here
15:10uh who's at the top of your list for losing honestly it's me yeah coach Young who forgot to shut his
15:19truck window and shattered his rearview truck window with me and the producer Joe Frizzo at about 12 o'clock
15:29at night and trying to deal with State Farm and no I was not talking from Jake with the State Farm
15:35with the khakis now so the biggest loser of night was coach Young but I think you're asking about
15:40the biggest loser in the draft so I'm gonna go to before coach was an absolute idiot so yeah obviously
15:46I have some losers in the draft and number one I might as well keep it in the city the Brooklyn Nets
15:53why all right we want a point guard okay let's take three of them three of them uh Igor Demmon who was
16:00a reach at pick number eight but then they got to go with no we want another one Nolan Traore another
16:06guard out of France oh no no no we're not done let's take Ben Seraph another guard out of Israel
16:12so now we got three guards I don't know if any of them are gonna play right away so the next strikeout
16:17with that now I will say this I do like Danny Wolf I do like their second round pick so they did do
16:24some things right but taking three point guards when you need basically like I don't know everything
16:29that seems to be a little bit of a problem next you gotta you gotta look at obviously uh the Blazers
16:37why all right hey Donovan Clingon 7-2 big man gotta be the anchor all right what are we gonna do
16:45Yang Henson wait what who where what pick 16 are you serious Yang Henson welcome to the league
16:53oh all right speaking of having a glider for punishment Chauncey Billups you don't have one not two
16:58not three but four big men and the two veteran big men they can't stay healthy please someone
17:05explain to me what the hell is going on in Portland and speaking of big men the Celtics you trade off
17:14Kristaps Porzingis right Al Horford free agent you look at obviously uh the other kid Luke Cornett free
17:24agent you're you're at the beginning of round two and you see Ryan Kalkbrenner and Maxine Renaud are both
17:34if you want to stretch five I can shoot the ball a little bit go over now if you want a rim protecting
17:39big then you go Kalkbrenner Ryan Kalkbrenner is way better than Luke Cornett I'm I'm sorry and you
17:47don't take him like I have no idea honestly the Celtics are the big loser of the entire offseason
17:54entire offseason forget the fact that they lost Jason they've been losing as soon as Tatum got hurt
18:00the only thing they won was game five because ever since then they've been losing Anthony Simons I don't
18:07see it 20 points a game he don't play no defense he's selfish how's he gonna fit with Jalen Brown you lose
18:12Drew Holiday KP stretch five what do we get back oh George's Niang I know you get salary cap relief
18:19it does not help Boston what are you doing they are lighting a match and starting from scratch is
18:29what it feels like their uh coach Boston and also could you tell me what New Orleans is doing here
18:36because I'm a little I'm are they rebooting like you big believer in Derek Queen and they should have
18:43moved up from from their spot in order to go get him it feels I is he a sure thing coach listen I'm
18:50not saying this because Greg Sussman is our boss but I do like Derek Queen I'm not I'm not gonna lie
18:56I like a little bit of Derek Queen at six foot ten now can he play the pivot at six foot ten 250 I don't
19:02know but I think he's skilled enough um the other interesting thing really quick not a winner or
19:07loser but just something to think about guys the kid Johnson going to Washington gotta remember
19:11Washington has a hundred million dollars coming off the salary cap after next year obviously with
19:16Middleton with Marcus Smart uh with CJ McCollum and Kelly Olenek dude if you think that they're going
19:22to trade those guys or release them or cut them out right look at Johnson possibly the rookie of your
19:27market but they're in a tough spot picks one through ten protected to themselves if not they
19:33go to the Knicks interesting times in Washington I think they're punting to 26 love love love that
19:41and uh you gotta love Sorber going to Oklahoma City the rich just keep getting richer there coach
19:48my goodness here kudos to the champion Oklahoma City Thunder for nailing the first round and uh and only
19:56having that one pick coach we appreciate it as always close the trunk get state farm Jake from
20:06state farm coach that's what we're talking about enjoy the week
