Brought to you by Fandall sports book as well. I missed on my same game parlay on Wednesday night. I ended up doing a wizard's Pacers thing because I really wanted to a Lakers jazz game. I was all excited about it because I was going to the Lakers jazz game.

And I was going to do a Lakers money line bet with the brawn and I Davis probably would have been in it and he got hurt so I would have lost it anyway, but but that was that was a bummer because I did washed in Joe House told me wait a second. Why'd you bet on Washington?

And of course they lost. So now I owe you one. I'm going to do something for all star weekend. I'm going to be in the gambling feed. The ringer gambling show with John just Tramski and Joe House on Friday.

And we're going to figure out all star weekend bet. So stay tuned for that Friday. Ringer gambling show me Joe House and JJ. And we're going to have all kinds of all star bets for you coming up on this podcast.

Horala Bob Valgeris aka Bob Valgeris aka H Bob HK one of my favorite NBA guests. He is coming up. We'll talk trade deadline playoff predictions. White Dallas got rid of poor Zingas can hard and save the sixers all kinds of stuff. It's on the X first.

Our friends from protein.

All right, my friend Bob Valgeris is here. He came on. I think before one of the holidays and then he just goes. He's just off. I don't know where he goes. He does stuff travels as this great life.

It comes back and immerses himself into the NBA season again. This is your first trade deadline. You weren't working for a team in a couple of years, right?

Yeah, correct. It's easier. Yeah, easier for you probably I'm betting. Yeah, I mean, I think the last last few deadlines are pretty tame. I remember correctly for us.

Yeah, I think that. Yeah, and of course there was the one three years ago. That was pretty pretty surprising.

So what was your biggest surprise from the trade deadline just going backwards? Was it the Haliburton trade? Was it that they pulled off the heart and trade or that somebody didn't make a trade? What was it?

Yeah, I think I mean that the Lakers weren't able to trade anything. I think we're or make a deal. I think that was a little bit surprising just because I guess there's trying to run it back.

But if you look at their roster, there's not a whole lot they can do. I mean, they really isn't unless you can find someone who wants to take Westbrook or something like that. There's probably not a deal to be had. A lot of their contracts are either too small or really big. So it can be difficult.

I think yeah, the Sacramento and the Anna trade, I think was pretty surprising. Although understandable, I guess from from both teams perspectives.

And then of course the yeah, the Mavericks trade was pretty pretty shocking, I think. Yeah, let's start with that because you used to work for the Mavericks. But more importantly, like the the porzingis piece of it yet because to me, it just seemed like they they were kind of just getting out of the porzingis business and taking what they could get.

And that maybe they just didn't trust them physically anymore. And that if you could turn them into two smaller contracts, hope that per times made a miraculous comeback into the shooter was three years ago.

Then didn't really give them at least a backup guard who could do some stuff. To them, that was just more palatable than rolling the dice with porzingis for even three more months. It just seemed like they wanted out.

Yeah, I think it's there's definitely I mean, you kind of nailed it. It's certainly a lot easier to trade one smaller contract to smaller contracts and one big contract.

I mean, I don't know. I thought a lot of people are saying this for tons contracts like one of the worst contracts in the NBA. I just don't I just don't see it. I mean, I see how it's a bad contract. He's only getting 60 million year last year of his deal. I think is only partially guaranteed for like five million or something.
