The Jerami Grant trade idea is interesting. At first I thought, "Your'e trying to win a championship, don't be afraid to trade a young player who will reach his full potential after your championship window has closed for a player who can make more of an impact right away (Jerami Grant)". Then, I realized that the Bulls would be paying their 4th option (maybe 5th depending on how you view Lonzo) 20 million dollars a season for the next 2 seasons. This would essentially lock in their current roster as to what they have to work with to win a championship due to the salary cap, and I just don't think making a move like that is smart without truly knowing how far your team can go, as this roster has no playoff experience together, and most players don't have any at all. If they want to make a win now trade involving their younger players, I just think there are better options out there.

[@fabiosousa7458]

Patrick Williams is better than Jerami Grant for this team. Firstly, because of his contract, has you said we'd be paying 20M to a 4th/5th option. And, in the end, Patrick Williams with these guys behind me, like Lonzo and Caruso, I believe he can be a better defender for this team than Grant. His potential is trough the roof

[@BOnYTB]

The problem is, Patrick Williams is out for this season, and then he’s already making a ton of money for a guy on a rookie deal. It’s not like he was the 12th pick. He’s making $7,422,000 this season to not play. He’s making $7,775,400 next year, will be coming off missing an entire season, and will have no chemistry with this new team and no playoff experience that he’d have if he was playing now. Then in 23-24 he’s making $9,835,881. So it’s not like he’s making a few million dollars or something. Also, you’re basically locked in to this core regardless. LaVine is getting the max after this season. So for the next 2-3 seasons (as long as DeMar is there) you’re locked in. You can make small improvements with like the TPMLE, but beside that there’s not much to do. All of the future picks are basically traded, etc. They’re all-in. If this team doesn’t work out in the playoffs, the odds that Williams comes through next season and saves the team are very low. He still is extremely young and needs development. If things didn’t work out with Grant, you could flip him next season. He’s always going to have value. He has a track record. P-Will is still raw and will only have one season under his belt, and a season with mostly no fans too where a lot of people shot well from 3. His 3P shot was on very low volume and if that turns out to not be real (he didn’t shoot well from 3 in college) then he’s not really going to have any value or barely any. All I’m saying is that it’s a risk either way. Not going fully all-in could be a big risk, and trading for Grant could be a big risk. Same thing with Coby White. How valuable is he to CHI when Caruso is back? Especially since Ayo has shown some flashes of being good. Coby is up for an extension fairly soon too. I think teams regret not going all-in when they’re contending more often than they regret going all-in, especially when they’ve already mortgaged the majority of their future to do so. Also Grant is making $20M this year and just over that the next. You’re not getting someone of that caliber for cheaper. That’s just not how it works with the cap going up. Also, big wings are scarce. Very scarce. If they don’t trade for Grant this year, then they’re risking being a piece away from having that much of a better chance to get through the East in the playoffs. They’re also risking P-Will coming back next year and not having nearly as much trade value as he does now. Same with Coby White. Also how many big wings are going to be on the market next season if they do decide that’s what they need? But ya it’s not a no brainer either way. If I were them I’d lean toward the Grant trade if possible…but either way it’s a big risk. I just feel like why did you go this far to cap yourselves out with aging vets like DeMar and Vuce, get the #1 seed, then not actually do everything you possibly can to maximize your championship window over the next 3-4 years. Note that guys like Jamal Murray and MPJr will likely be back and 100% next year, Kawhi, Klay will have a season under his belt and have the rust off, GSW might decide to make a trade to get even better. Maybe Memphis decides to make a big trade. MIL could get even stronger. PHI might not have the Ben Simmons situation figured out this season, but they likely will next. Kyrie might figure out a way to play home games next season, he might not this year. I could go on but you get my point. The field will certainly be tougher, and it’s not likely CHI has the 1 seed at this point next season. So it’s risky either way. They’re lacking a big wing who can hit 3s, and Grant can even play some small ball 5. It’ll give them another look in the playoffs, and they’ll have like 30+ games to gel before then. Grant has experience playing that role on DEN also. Believe it or not I’m on the fence on what they should do, or I definitely was when I hit reply. I lean toward trading for Grant depending on the terms of the deal now, but like I said it’s not a no brainer at all. Just giving my 2c on whether to do it or not. Gotta trust in your GM if you’re a Bulls fan. If he makes the trade, ride with it. If not, then maybe it wasn’t the right thing to do. He deserves the benefit of the doubt so far for sure.

Your Draymond & Jokic rants were straight facts

[@camctrail]

Here's my personal prediction that I've had all season long: Giannis will win MVP and FMVP this season Now I'll give my own takes on these predictions: - No, Jerami Grant does not provide Chicago with what they currently need, which is 3pt defense, and Pat during his rookie season excelled in that area. His defensive versatility & ability to guard positions 1-4 effectively as well as being a potentially knockdown shooter (~40% from 3 so far albeit on relatively few attempts). Chicago is the most efficient bucket getting team in the NBA so far this season, and Grant provides value in areas that they don't really need it. - My fav young core in the league might be Orlando. The Cavs feel like an obvious answer, but Orlando's young core I feel is really slept on. Cole Anthony is having a nice season so far averaging 20-6-6, Franz Wagner the rookie is really impressing me, they have 2 solid twin towers in WCJ and Mo Bamba, Jalen Suggs has a lot of potential to be great, and Markelle Fultz hasn't even played yet this season. Orlando has a lot of good young players, I'm not sure if they'll be able to mesh with each other, but in different situations I think they can really put the league on notice to how good they are. - LeBron at center is great for the Lakers in the short term, but it's not a long term solution. LA's best lineups will be with AD at the 5, even though he doesn't want to play the 5, he can bang down there with the big boys. As versatile as Lebron is, in a playoff series he's not doing anything to a Jokic or a Giannis or a Embiid because he's just too little to bang against actual bigs for an entire playoff series, plus he's old so he needs to conserve energy for his offensive duties. Until AD comes back though, Lebron at center is the way to go. - What the fuck dude lmao, no. Evan Mobley is having one of the greatest defensive rookie seasons ever and helping the Cavs to a record that almost nobody thought they'd have by now. Giddey is a nice player, very rough around the edges but with some time & development I think he could be OKC's future PG next to Shai, but.... no lol - RJ has gone backwards mostly just by himself. His shooting percentages are all considerably down from last season, and even though he's roughly getting the same amount of responsibility as last year, he's failing to capitalize with his shot. I will say that Kemba being on this team does hurt RJ a little, given that Kemba works best with the ball in his hands and so does RJ, but RJ's usage rate is actually higher than last year. It may be that Thibs is running different sets for RJ because he's trying to incorporate Kemba into his system moreso, but RJ's regression is mostly his own I think. Also Zion (when healthy) and Ja are also just flat out better players. - Potentially I could see Houston's rebuild being short, but I think it largely depends on who they draft this year. I think Chet Holmgren is the can't miss prospect of this draft so far, and he'd especially help Houston with his accurate shooting and rim protection, and if they can sign a 3&D wing in the offseason, I could see Houston making a playoff push next season if the rest of their core develops well enough. - Nope - Depending on how Klay's defense is when he gets back into game shape, there's little doubt that the Warriors are even more of title contenders than they already are. I'm a little concerned about how much of his defensive ability will be impacted by his injuries, especially on ball where he has the most value on D, but obviously even if his defense is only 70% of what it used to be, his shooting ability alone & his own gravity to draw defenders towards him and away from Steph makes him so totally valuable to the Warriors' success (Steph, Klay & Dray have the highest winning % ever as a trio when all are on the floor) - That guy is DEFINITELY talking about Draymond when he says that lol, but I do sort of agree with his point. At the end of the day, the all star game is about entertainment, and the players with the gaudiest stats are the players that are most loved and that people want to see more. All NBA teams I feel are more suited to those Draymond-like players who impact winning at an elite level, but aren't really entertaining to watch. Personally, if I were a casual fan I'd prefer to watch KAT in the all star game more than I'd want to watch Draymond. That said, I do still think the DPOY this year deserves the all star nod. - Draymond himself has said he's noticed Jokic's improvements on defense compared to last season. Jokic has the highest DBPM in the league. His impact is very noticeable even though it may not look it because of how he moves. Besides, even if his defense was horrible, he's still an MVP lol, averaging 26-14-7 for the season is no joke.

With Josh Giddey, you provided excellent examples in recent history of past ROY. The only thing that I thought it can be is media coverage and recognition. I notice with ESPN they will go more for city market, recency, popularity, hype, more than talent. So with your examples: Luka Doncic- Dallas, hype (for this I mean his age entering into the NBA after playing overseas at a younger age and the amount of success there). Ben Simmons-Philadelphia, former #1 overall pick, part of "The Process", coveted even before going to LSU. Andrew Wiggins-Cleveland (Kind of a stretch based on city depending on how you view it, but definitely has more history in comparison to OKC), former #1 overall pick, once had comparisons to being the next LeBron (at least from what I remember), and being a part of the trade for LeBron James to get Kevin Love. Kyrie Irving- Cleveland, former #1 overall pick, played at Duke, was the first pick after LeBron left for the Miami Heat. I've noticed some games that Josh Giddey has had so far and it has reminded me of LaMelo Ball's rookie season last year (someone else who also got recognition based on some of the things I've mentioned earlier). Last time OKC got great coverage was during the Durant years, IMO. Now the only time OKC gets any recognition is when Sam Presti gets ANOTHER 1st round pick from a trade in which the only people excited for it are NBA insiders and avid basketball fans. I would think with Giddey, that he still has time based on how the team is playing and how he has contributed so far; but I'm honestly unsure because I didn't even know/realize that Franz Wagner is even higher in consideration for ROY until you told me. Just some of my thoughts based on the take and your response to it. Also, completely separate point, not gonna lie, I sincerely thought you were going give your hot dog take based on the thumbnail.

Memphis had a pretty quick rebuild, transitioning from Grit and Grind to Ja and Triple J with, like, just a couple of losing seasons. Raptors look to be heading back to the playoffs after only a couple of losing seasons since Kawhi left so that’s a pretty quick rebuild too. On the flip side, Sacramento seems to be in rebuild mode since the end of the Chris Webber era, Detroit is still trying to relive the glory days of Mr. Big Shot and Big Ben, and Orlando continues to look for their next big to take over from DwiHo. Then, you have the average 3/4/5 year rebuilds like “The Process” in Philly or the transition from “We Believe” to “Splash Bros” in Golden State, or the Bud led “starting 5 Player of the Month” to Ice Trae’s Hawks.

I feel like that Giddey take was someone trying to push the foreign players are frowned upon, which they are (Giannis/Jokic not getting much coverage from the media) but that hasn’t really happened with Giddey.

[@javigar133]

Freakingly good take Kenny! You have talent. RE: Klay, I would expect him to be amazing tonight, then Kerr ti soy him down, have patience with that fella.

[@tkgotbags]

Ur draymond take was a W, basketball is more than scoring the most points..... and klay bro, his return is insane in the first gameeee!!!

[@eczotiic8026]

He was 7/18. 😐😐 That wasn’t insane.

[@deesnuts3651]

That jokic argument that u had at the end reminded me of my teacher yelling at me

[@kobylaine3734]

Kenny, what’s the ceiling for these players?? 1. Matisse Thybulle 2. Herb Jones 3. Darius Garland

[@danielhong3880]

kenny exposing the casuals and im here for it

[@matthewweimer212]

Kenny talking about basketball is a stress reliever

[@temidayoaremu7979]

I think this current lakers team is like 07 cavs you got lebron, averaging more points than he did in 07, you have daniel gibson a sharpshooter i will compare him to malik monk, the you have big z i will compare him to AD when he is healthy and they have very solid role players, the lakers right now have a 75% chance at reaching the playoffs and have a 5% chance at reaching the finals right now lebron is the only one living up to his potential, malik is being inconsistent if i am being honest malik monk has the potential to be an all star he has about 2 good nights were he has around 25 points, but after that he only gets like 6 points the next night, lebron is the best small forward of all time because his consistency. He needs his other teamates like russ and monk to have his back and not do everything himself. (ps please dont take this offensive it is my personal opinion)

Live in Sioux Falls! Mike Smith is a baller

The Goat posted. It’s a good day 💯

[@IZ7TT]

As a phx fan I feel like we could use a younger more versatile pf in which we could push as a dark horse for Ben Simmons it’s just a take but it could work or it could flop

[@vvskev]

The Sonics rebuild has to be the fastest of all time literally in 4 years it became a completely different franchise, and had 3 Future Mvps under the age of 24 take their team to the damn finals

[@cooperschultz4372]

Kennnnnyyyy! When you said Sioux Falls Sky Force I went crazy. That’s where I love and my dads company sponsors the sky force. And side note, technically I’m not supposed to say this but my dad is a dentist and mike smith your friend goes to my dads practice.

[@liftbread]

I still think giddey is the ROTY. when you account for points created, giddey is leading Franz, Mobley, Barnes and Cunningham. He's also sneakily averaging a steal and half a block a game.

[@truk06]

i totally agree with the giddey one, if he was american he would be the front runner for roty, mvp, mip, dpoy, 6moy, finals mvp, and coach of the year

[@gunnysarg9931]

Is prize picks only in America I can’t get it in Australia

[@trichardson8728]

Went to high school with Aaron Wiggins at grimsley and played football with DJ Reader of the bengals.

[@Umbreonite434]

Low key draymond being in the all star games would make them more entertaining and more competitive that stuff contagious man

[@bricetriplett759]

Manu only ever made two all star games and was averaging a lot more a game than draymond coming off the bench. I feel what you're saying with impact, but in the past that hasn't mattered so idk if it should matter now

[@LilmanQ7]

I agree with your Lebron at center take, I would just say I think him playing center would take away from his game and he wouldn’t be able to guard the big centers in the paint. Likes of embiid and joker or cousins. So it wouldn’t be beneficial for the lakers. Also, don’t put the ball in the hands of your center. They will pickpocket him all game.

[@tsizzle_2542]

That josh Giddey take has to be a inside joke with his buddies

[@bradywilton4186]

4:23 “oh shit that’s me” - flight

[@djponthebeat2465]

Josh Giddey is fantastic he gives the okc thunder team more talent alongside sga n dort n u see the games with Giddey in it is fantastic with his passing game n shooting is great for out team he's just built different n dude saying that is krazy but OKC thunder has delevoped some superstars n like for example Durrant n Russell n Serge like if they kan get a good center n more veterans to help em out plus they need more defensive players n they would be incredible 👍

[@laneevans5157]

Miami heat are the most slept on team this year. Havnt had there 2 superstar players half the season but are 3rd in a competitive east and 8-2 or something like that against the top 3 teams in both conferences. Played the most away game Might only get 1 all star IF Jimmy is healthy. But nobody really talks about how deep this team could be

[@westleystone6577]

I like how Ben Simmons is the 6’11” 16ppg. Version of Draymond and everyone thinks he’s trash.

[@benconley612]

Look at Kenny man so inspirational

[@thed.m.a.c4604]

You went in on some of these takes

[@skylar3412]

Jokic, Giannis, Joel are all non-American players that got recognition early and I believe being from somewhere else boost your popularity the Sengun, Bobi, Bol Bol are fan favorites solely because their different so I cant get behind your take my guy
