0:00.0	Hey, if you missed part one of our massive four part trade deadline podcasts
0:04.4	are in the BS podcast you can find it on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
0:31.1	All right, part two of the trade deadline to lose the pie. You can check out part one on Spotify or
0:36.0	wherever you get your podcasts. Rob Mahoney has left us. Big was is joined us. KFC, we were talking
0:41.3	right before we started taping about the Derek White trade, which turned out to be Josh Richardson
0:46.9	who was playing well. Romeo Langford, who was not playing well, and a protected 2022 first for Derek
0:54.0	White, a defensive good teammate, combo guard guy, the Celtic Saturday have a guy like that Marcus
1:03.0	Smart. My instinct, and we only have 33 minutes here until the day that my instinct was like,
1:07.4	wait a second, is this paving the way for Marcus Smart Trade? You felt the same way.

1:40.0	pick though. I mean, the 2022 draft might not necessarily be deep, but giving that up when Josh
1:46.4	Richardson has been playing so well, that does sting a little bit, but white's a good player.
1:50.7	You guys have Stockholm, so do you know the Celtics are allowed to have more than one good guard, right?
1:55.2	Well, I find it hard to believe so if we get one guy, we have to straight this other guy, right?
2:01.8	You only play one guard, right? I think Derek's Derek White and Marcus Smart together is kind of a
2:07.6	weird fit to me, I guess would be I agree with you. But I think Derek White is a guy who can
2:12.1	absolutely be one of your three guards in around two playups. And he's by all counts of beloved
