On today's episode of the podcast, I do a dive into the Siaacom trade, but more about why

teams do this and I don't blame them, especially when you look at three agents signings

over history, especially for the teams and not always destinations.

And we're going to preview all four NFL playoff games with Marksler, a four leg parlay from your boy on the

Bills and Chiefs and an extended life advice with the

vending machine challenge update. We have a lot of football to do with Schlarers so I did

want to spend a little time on the big NBA trade from this week with

Siaqam going to the Pacers from Toronto. So Toronto doing a full reset here

after the OG deal, you know criticism after letting Van Vleeck and now Siaqham on the move which is still a few weeks ahead of the trade

deadline. It's not normal operating procedure for GMs where you just kind of feel like the longer you wait, but

Siackham has been floated around for such a long time, even OG, where apparently they did turn down multiple first round picks for OG and then like the player combo with Barrett and quickly better, which I don't blame blame them for and so now we're kind of looking at Toronto I was like all right what's the next step because let's just face it coming into this year this is a really disappointing team. It's not as disappointing as you know Atlanta is up there for disappointment.

The Lakers are up there, Golden States up there,

but Toronto's probably on a short list of five teams.

So when I saw the trade when it was first announced,

I was like, all right, so the Pacers are moving, Bruce Bowen, Jordan

Nwara, and three first round picks.

And I think I've been the James Cook of just going, dude, these first round picks are kind of overrated like what's the big deal

but then you have to look at the protections you have to understand like what the

risk could be and then what it is down the road as far as the pick for this year

if you look at the Pacers and where they're at in the standings with a nice

win last night against Sacramento that pick is 19th. All right now this is also

considered a very terrible draft especially like an all-time terrible draft, especially at the top.
