The day is upon us once again. I've had butterflies all day. I feel like we're about to play a game seven of the NBA finals. What's up guys? How's it going?

Not all of us. Yes, I love this. I love it. That's a tradition that whenever the four of us do a podcast, I say that and then just wait for all three of you guys or none of you to like say hello. Great.

So I saw Nate's tweet is I was frantically finishing my all-star column for tonight and not preparing for the mock trade deadline. So I think in this analogy, I'm like the team coming off a back to back. That's what I'm feeling right now.

And one of my teams just fired its coach. We're trying to rebuild on the fine figure everything out like in a moment to notice. We have no empathy.

Do I do get to express a small bit of outrage that felon always gets to be the bucks because he coin butts here, but they're actually not that interesting this time. So it's less egregious than it would have been.

Yeah, it's it really is just tradition at this point. So just quickly here to tell you what this is Dan Feldman from NBC Kevin Pelton of ESPN Danny from the athletic and dunked on and his own podcast and just basically the entire internet at this point.

And myself we're all going to basically do a mock trade deadline. We split up the teams with East buyers, East sellers, West buyers and West sellers. So gentlemen, why don't we go through here.

And you can just will alternate. You just tell who your teams are and what just quickly are your goals. Let's start with KP who has the West sellers.

All right, the Dallas Mavericks. Our goal is to use cap space to add graphics. I have a Dan Feldman here. I have the generally the East buyers will start off the Pacers. Our goal. We'd like to see if Bob Donovich Darren Collison, Al Jefferson, those semi expiring contracts can be useful for an immediate upgrade.

There also may be Dangle Thaddy as young and have about a little more than six million in cap room that could facilitate to facilitate something as the Atlanta Hawks. We've got all these expiring or expiring ish contracts, Ilya Sova, Deadman, Bell and Ellie, Muscala, Luke, Babbit, Malcolm Delaney that we feel could help teams that are trying to win this year.

We're also in the list and I can't base more is actually a little old for us right now also thinking maybe Dennis Schroeder could be available, but you better come with at least two solid assets.

If you want with these guys, and then we're also in our rebuilding mode, willing to take on bad long term salary, but it's going to cost.

I have the West buyers. I'll start with the San Antonio Spurs. Our urgent priority is to trade the two distant co-ioner. I'm just joking where the Spurs were not doing.

Do you even still have the rights to him anymore? I mean, he's been so distant from the team.

As you know, bird rights don't fade even if you're far away.

Alright, I also have the LA Clippers whose goal is quietly to try to create 2018 cap space by trading Deandre Jordan and Daniel Galenari.

Bucks here, we'd like to stay under the luxury tax, but still clear out some long term salary and ideally upgrade at center.

Brooklyn Nets, we want to get some more young guys on the team, especially young guys with upside.

We're willing to take on to bad long term salary for a price we might be thinking about offering some of our guys who are expensive, but can still play for even more expensive, less productive guys that and get some assets back that in return.

Spencer, Dinwitty could also be available for the right offer because we actually want to be worse in 2019 when amazingly we actually have our traffic.

The city Thunder are looking to lower our luxury tax bill and or get better, but we have limited resources to do so because we don't have our first run picks for the next basically six years available available to the trade.

We have them for most.
