| 0:00.0 | All right. We're going to get to the calls right now. |
| 0:02.5 | Put the honest or other trade stuff to bed. |
| 0:05.0 | Just good conversation. |
| 0:06.6 | And again, you earn your right to be in this spot. |
| 0:09.8 | And the Pistons have done that. |
| 0:10.9 | And it's okay to talk about it. |
| 0:12.5 | It's just very surprising, very surprising how many people are hesitant to make a move, to go for the finals. |
| 0:21.9 | And by the way, continue building. |
| 0:24.7 | Whatever player you acquire is going to have term. |
| 0:28.1 | They're going to be here. |
| 0:29.7 | Right. |
| 0:30.3 | This isn't a rental. |
| 0:32.4 | So no, the honest thing, I think it's Miami or New York. |
| 0:36.0 | But it's about attitudinally, do you pick up the phone and get |
| 0:39.1 | involved? My guy is still Lowry marketing. That's who I've wanted for two years. To me, I put another |
| 0:44.9 | seven footer on the floor who can space, shoot 37% from three when he's shooting eight and a half a game. |
| 0:51.8 | Yeah, here's the other thing. Maybe you put so much in the deal that you make it difficult for New York, so New York has to overpay to get it. I wouldn't mind it. It'd be funny. Screwing with the Knicks. Let's go to Ryan 971. Ryan, how are you? Oh, I'm doing good. How are you guys? Excellent. What's on your mind, pal? well if we do a a trade, I personally would, you know, obviously, I know you guys aren't saying we're going to have to do, Yonis. |
| 1:16.0 | But I would go for somebody, you know, shooter, obviously, maybe like Clay Thompson, Stefan Castle. |
| 1:23.0 | I don't really, maybe like Tori and Prince, I don't know what Jeremy Grant's doing over there still, |
| 1:27.9 | but I mean, I personally think that we don't necessarily, Rashid Wallace, when we went and got him, people bring that up often, but that wasn't a Janus type player at the time. He was good, but he wasn't a Janus, the top 10, top 15 player in the league. He was a good player, but he was more like on the lorry market inside of things, you know. But, you know, I personally don't think if we make a trade, I don't, because the type of coach we have, J.B. Bickerstaff, they didn't make any trades on the cabs or on the rockets that I recall at least, maybe more on the rockets, but not in those such as not on the cabs. You know, they didn't really make any trades. |
| 2:01.5 | They kept their core. And then after they moved out. The calves went out and got Donovan Mitchell. That's a massive move. All right. I didn't know if they did that while he was under their coach. I apologize. No, no. I was saying, I believe they may have because then they clipped him. you got rid of my |
