| 0:00.0 | Kevin Sheen host the Kevin Sheen show on the team 980 daily from 10 a.m. Until 1 p.m. And he's joining us right now. What's up, Mr. Sheen? Good morning, Kevin? What's up, boys? Good morning. There you do. You sound you sound really clear now. |
| 0:16.4 | He doesn't sound like Joe Thysman. He does not. You do not sound like Joe. |
| 0:20.5 | All right. So what's your take on this? Everybody wanted to blow it up. That's fine. I would have hoped they would have gotten some future ones in this package somehow. |
| 0:30.9 | But that's not going to happen. They're going to be got awful. They're going to win like eight games. They should play me, you and cakes. |
| 0:37.3 | I don't know. It's just going to be a lot of awfulness before hopefully this pans out. |
| 0:42.5 | Me and cakes. There's no defense in that group. |
| 0:45.1 | Zero defense defense of 20 years, Kevin. |
| 0:49.6 | I don't like the only thing we know for sure about this is that, you know, they're in rebuild mode. And it's not, you know, a small rebuilt build. |
| 0:58.3 | It's tearing it down to the studs. Yeah. You know, rebuild. I think what we don't know for sure is that whether or not they're making the most of these trades, but the truth is they haven't had any leverage. |
| 1:10.8 | And either one of them so far, they had no leverage in the field deal. And porzingus had a player option. I mean, it was possible. They were going to get nothing back for porzingus. If he had opted out and become an unrestricted free agent. |
| 1:24.6 | So, you know, they're doing what they should be doing, you know, in the big scheme of things. It's just whether or not they're taking advantage of each of these trades. |
| 1:35.9 | You would certainly think going into it that feel and porzingus would have produced at least one first round pick. I mean, Boston gets porzingus and two first rounders and the wizards have a bunch of second rounders and tie his bones, who, by the way, maybe their best trade ship, you know, moving forward. |
| 1:54.5 | But I understand the frustration of not getting a lot back. But at the same time, I'm not sure that they had any leverage to get more back. |
| 2:02.3 | I mean, it certainly didn't in the field deal. I mean, Winger walked in and probably couldn't believe that he had a no trade clause. Now, he signs the deal anyway. He's not going to turn down the money. Whenever Ted is paying him. But when, when a guy has a no trade clause, he goes to whatever team he wants and he gets to pick the conversation coming back. |
| 2:18.8 | So, like, the wizards had zero leverage because I guarantee you they could have got it. Kevin, if you didn't have a no trade, I guarantee you they could have got a number one coming back from some team. |
| 2:28.2 | Right. But Bradley picked the team that he wants to play with and Phoenix doesn't have a first round pick to give. So, yeah, no doubt. Yeah. So, I mean, that's I also think I also think that, you know, the no trade clause was a big part of it. |
| 2:41.8 | But the 200 plus million left on his deal was probably even a bigger part of it, considering he had missed 74 games the last two years. |
| 2:51.0 | Yes. So, and, you know, by the way, he's not a, you know, he's not in a weak player. He's a true number two, number three on a really good team. |
| 3:01.6 | But you're right. The no trade clause meant that he and his agent got to pick the destination. |
| 3:07.0 | And then with with porzingis, who knows who Winger was talking to, what deals are out there. |
| 3:12.9 | But there might have been a deal where they could have gotten a number one back. But that team also might have wanted to give Washington another big time salary, which Winger is trying to avoid. |
| 3:24.5 | So there I trust Winger was making the best deals possible at the time for the future of the team. And yes, it looks shady when you don't get a first round pick for two big name players like that. But there are reasons. |
