| 0:00.0 | Well, huge blockbuster, we're getting to it absolutely as quickly as we can here. |
| 0:05.0 | Kyrie Irving traded to the Boston Celtics, a return far exceeding I think maybe what any of us |
| 0:10.8 | thought I'm joined by Danny Luru and Dan Felman just quickly before we get started in the analysis |
| 0:15.9 | the trade. Irving with two years left on his contract at about 19 million per traded for Isaiah |
| 0:22.0 | Thomas and Jay Crowder both making about seven million a year and Ante's Ezeech and then the |
| 0:28.5 | big crown jewel that 2018 unprotected Brooklyn first Ron pick. Dan, since you responded to my |
| 0:36.3 | request for an emergency podcast first, you on Twitter gave this an A plus for the Cavaliers |
| 0:43.6 | and an F for the Celtics. Why did you see it that way? Well, from the Cavs perspective, this is |
| 0:49.2 | going to be pretty much overlapping. Like I think Kyrie Irving and that Nets pick are pretty close |
| 0:54.7 | in value. Like I'd have to look closer to see which I would favor more, but it's in the same |
| 0:59.5 | general range. And then after that to get Isaiah Thomas to get Jay Crowder to at such a huge return, |
| 1:06.2 | I almost gave the Celtics a D minus because I do like how Kyrie Irving is a little younger, |
| 1:11.0 | uh, fits better with with the movement they're going with with Jalen Brown and and Jason Tatum, |
| 1:16.9 | but the overall value like it seems to me like wildly in favor of the Cavs. Yeah, what about you, |
| 1:22.3 | Danny? What do you think of that? Well, I'm kind of conflicted on it. I don't think it's as clear |
| 1:26.5 | as what Wes what Dan said mostly because I think the assets or value should be valued differently |
| 1:31.5 | for the different teams. So Kyrie Irving I think is a better fit long term for what the Celtics |
| 1:35.7 | want to do, but they have to believe that they're going to bring him back. And then at the same |
| 1:39.0 | point, you think about the other pieces that were involved in this trade. Jay Crowder and Brooklyn, |
| 1:42.6 | those those assets have been hoarded for a long time. You kind of thought, okay, where are they going |
| 1:46.4 | to be used for? And instead of going, you know, more in a long term direction, they ended up going |
| 1:50.8 | in that way. And the part that's frustrating for me is that I had gone, you know, thinking about, |
