| 0:00.0 | Well, I'd like to start this show with a big screw you to Darrell Mori and Ryan McDonough |
| 0:06.6 | for ruining my wedding, but with a trade that we now have to record. I know I'm kidding, |
| 0:11.3 | the wedding went great. And I got a little time here before we leave for the honeymoon. So we're |
| 0:15.7 | going to bring in Danny here. And we'll talk about this trade. Also later in the episode, |
| 0:21.5 | we've got Rahat Hook on. We actually had to record just the day before this trade went down. So |
| 0:27.2 | there will be a few aspects out of that are out of date, but not a ton because Ryan Anderson, |
| 0:33.3 | and I don't think even night is going to be a huge part of their rotation. But Danny and I |
| 0:36.8 | will talk about that right now. So what was the trade? So it's a pretty interesting thing |
| 0:42.9 | because there are a couple dynamics here. So in terms of the people, it is Ryan Anderson and the |
| 0:48.4 | draft rights to De Anthony Melton, who was taken in the middle of the second round this year, |

| 1:02.4 | his guarantee for the second season of this of this contract. So he's still signed through 2019, |
| 1:08.6 | 2020 to equal Brandon Knight's full contract value because his contract is fully guaranteed |
| 1:14.3 | for that same season. So whether you want to call that neutral or not depends on Chris's option |
| 1:19.1 | and Melton and all that kind of stuff. But that did change the finances for the sons, |
| 1:23.8 | even if they end up fully guaranteeing Ryan Anderson, which they certainly could. |
| 1:27.1 | Yeah, and I think the sons that as we talked about with the Devon Booker extension, |
| 1:32.0 | we can look at it from their perspective first here. Not a ton of space really left over. |
| 1:38.0 | At that point, Chris seemed like he might be an option, especially with all these combo |
| 1:42.1 | boards that they got into get his fourth year option to climb. So he may not have even been |
| 1:47.2 | on the team anymore. But right now with Anderson on the books, if they choose not to wave him, |
