Speaker 1 (00:05):
We'll get into the Cowboy Eagle breakdown here in the
next segment, but I want to kind of go into
the NBA a little bit because NBA to me is
getting a little interesting. Last night, it was interesting in
Dallas if you missed it. John Moran of course involved
in drama. Of course, you know Klay Thompson in there
as well, all because somebody tripped the number one pick?

(00:29):
Did he trip them? Was it kind of a flop
by Cooper? We don't know, but security establishing coaches from
both teams. Yeah, they separated players to prevent the situation
from escalating. And what I'm talking about is Klay Thompson
and Barn Jah Barn We're going what toe.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
To toad, jaw to jaw, talking back and forth.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
That's what they normally do, you know.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
But Thompson after the game, he was said, you know,
he's a funny guy. He's got a lot of say
all the time, especially for a guy who rarely takes accountability.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
If we had a punching noise because that was.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
He went to three days of rehab.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
And then here's the thing is like during an interview
to Spencer was being interviewed right, Morant comes over there
and says, tell him who the best shooter in the
house was. It wasn't Bro from Golden State. A little
blow at Klay Thompson.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Thompson described Moran's comments, you know on court comment saying
nothing of intelligent depth.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, that was him as buttoned up way to say.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
It was really just running his mouth. And he's been
running his mouth for a long time. Thompson kept saying,
it's funny to run your mouth when you're on the bench.
It's kind of a story of his career so far,
just leaving us wanting more like he's like, honestly, Marant's
done this his whole career. We all want to see
him out there to do his best. He's just been
letting out a little bit of stuff and.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
To get in the way. We need that in the NBA.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
We need our best players to be out there, and
when you're a it comes with great responsibilities.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I hate to see that goat to waste. Now.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
By the way, Moran has served suspension in each of
the past three seasons.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Good job guy.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
The NBA suspended him eight games in twenty twenty two
and twenty twenty three, and twenty five games in twenty
three twenty four for flashing handguns on Instagram on live streams.
Grizzley's also suspended him one game for conduct detrimental to
the team earlier this season after a confrontation with the
now head coach, whom us is Slallo.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Right, is that how you saying?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Pretty good?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I'm not gonna try and pronounce it, but yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Almost like he's like from a character from Frozen, you know,
by the way, So it should be very interesting. Well,
I'm sure they'll play each other again. I don't know
what's your take on this. Well, that's kind of an
like I feel like Klay Thompson just spoke for.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Everybody in the NBA about Moran. Yeah, like I mean,
and he's not wrong. John Moran has become like one
of the least likable jars.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's become a joke. Well just just be on that.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Like poples recognize he's definitely one of the most talented
pound for pound players, no one's disputing that, but the
reality is that he's also done more jawing than talking.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Uh, But the thing with like the thing that hurts
in Klay Thompson's favor is that he is havingsically his
worst year of his career. He's a career low in
points ten ten a game, and he's not started anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I mean he's on the reserve role now, which is
okay because he's thirty five.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Mister the Stallion, he is good.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
He is likely going to be on the trade block him,
Anthony Davis and probably uh Danngel Russell.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
People hate d Angel.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Russell and Dallas by the way, like, so Dallas is
likely going to be huge sellers by the trade deadline.
And yes, I did call him mister the Stallion. So
he might be losing him. He might be losing the
basketball he's winning in life. Good for him. Uh, But
the person to call it out, John Morant the biggest
liability in pro basketball, and yes that includes that includes
Kawhi Leonard.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
John Moran is a bigger liability on a team that
really can't afford to be without him. Unfortunately now they
I still think they need to move on from him.
I feel like trading away Desmond Baine was to the
wrong move. I think you can build around Jaron Jackson
and Desenband in in the in with that core. They
should have moved jaw, but obviously it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
At that point, I.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Think John gets traded. I think I think I think
you just don't deal with that. Let somebody else.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
The grizzy window was very narrow as it was, but
it's gone now.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, it's it's done. I mean.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
And the thing is is he's you know, he's running
his mouth like dude, if you're out of the court, that's.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
One thing, you know, but you're running your mouth and
you get it.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
He probably got into Clay's head, you know, talking about
how he was as you know, he's has been.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
He's this and that.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Of course NBA players are gonna do that. It's it's
a mental game, right just I don't know, it's drama
that's unnecessary because both these teams suck.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I know, we're I know we're coming up like close
to a break.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
But I wanted to get this out because we mentioned trades,
we mentioned like trade deadlines in this I'm gonna give
you some names and this is a list courtesy by
the way of NBC Sports. Okay, I'm gonna I'm just
gonna give you out, Uh these names they have listed.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
If you're a team, regardless of who you are, would
you take them on?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Okay, okay, so I'm not gonna I'm a GM, Yeah exactly.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Now I've already mentioned Daniel Russell, Clay Thompson, Anthony Davis.
So they mentioned all three of those MAVs guys. Just
go and get them out of the list. We already
talked about them. Let's let's start LaMelo Ball from Charlotte.
Would you trade for LaMelo Ball? No, No, I wouldn't either,
just because I feel like his his splash players are
not worth his his liability on defense. Right. The next
guy you already mentioned, John Morant, but like, I feel
like some team would take him on, but I think

(05:23):
he needs to get out of Memphis.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
It's tough, right, He's borderline with me as a general manager.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Borderline because I would have to have a conversation with
him as a GM and I don't think it would
go well.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
So no, I would not trade for it.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Right. So the next three names are all are all
valuable names, but you also have to consider, like their age,
what it would cost, and in terms of what your
team would need. Okay, okay, so these are all like
players that you can rely on.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Okay, Trey Young, I know on board right now.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
But he's also like the same ag God, he's kind
of a liability on defense.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I know, But man, that dude knows how to be clutched.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
And if you've got a defense, he's a.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Walking twenty plus right.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
He's San Antonio. You've got a defense, you know how
to throw a defense. You're not really worried about trade.
You're worried about clutch.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, but I don't. If I'm Spurs, I wouldn't trade baby.
Give it to me.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I think there's gonna be a team that will trade him. Okay,
Now this one might be more interesting about Johnathan COMINGA.
I know, right, he's not He's not as gonna score
as he was last ye. Up to this point, he's
still a reliable defender.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I would say it's like going.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
To the buffet line Shane and being like, really should
I eat that?

Speaker 4 (06:28):
He would be the cheapest guy of these of these
guys that I think to trade for, and I could
regret it later, but he would be a depth piece.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
He wouldn't be a starter.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, So are you a team that would be interested
in cominga Yes?

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Okay, Now, this next one's gonna be tough because he's
still one of the best players in the league. But
it's gonna cost a lot to get him. So you
have to be a team that has a lot of
assets behind. Will you give up jianness on Tompo? It's tough,
isn't it? Because he had he has he has one
of the biggest contracts in the league. It's gonna cost
a lot of assets to get him. But if you're
a team that you think it can compete, now you

(06:59):
have to be going to part with probably at least
like up to was a forty million, fifty million dollars
a year worth of space.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Does Golden State go for?

Speaker 4 (07:06):
The think about Golden State is though, is that they
already don't have a lot of depth as is. They're
playing pretty much seven deep. We saw them against the Spurs.
They played like the same seven guys, So you essentially
would have if you trade the honest you're probably throwing.
You're probably throwing either Jimmy Butler or potentially U Lakers
Lakers Benchton.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
But I feel like.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
He's probably a better fit in LA than Golden State
if that, if that was the move, I I because
I don't think that the Bugs are trading into the East,
right That's that's that's probably Yeah, yeah, yeah, you go west.
You gotta go west. That's the thing that's tough. He's
still he still is at like thirty two, one of
the best players in the world.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, he's in shape. He's exactly what I want Wimby
to look like.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, it's it's just what do you have to get him?
Can you can your team really afford to lose that
right now? He doesn't need to go to the Spurs.
People keep saying, oh, I want to pair Giannis and Wimby.
Now what you are, what you get with Gianness you
already get in Wimby. You need if you're a Spurs team,
you want stuff that you don't already have in how which.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Is like what Cornette and all in it can provide
exactly at a cheaper rate.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
That at a.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Cheaper rate, and it's it's holding us at that eleven
and four record.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
If the Spurs we're going to trade for anything, I
wouldn't mind more bench three point shooting. Okay, if they're
going to trade for anything, I would I would get
more like outside shooting like that I.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Would be surprised if the Spurs trade, but I wouldn't
be like.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'm not saying that.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I'm saying, like, if they were to get anything, that
might be one the one thing I'd like to improve on.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
But GI honest would be a no for me. I'm
the Spurs.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Other teams, like you said, the Lakers, maybe maybe this
would be a crazy one.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Maybe the Thunder.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
That's what I was just about to say, because they
have assets.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Because chet Is is weak. I was not the number
one player either.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I was thinking. I was thinking the other Havenstein.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, but I'm not saying trade to wait Chet, I'm saying,
what if you saw that pairing?

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I mean, that would be pretty pretty deadly, I would.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Say, and Oklahoma knows how to make moves. That's his
general manager. They're they're not right at the record they're
at Why not?

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, I mean especially just because like right now, you're
not You're not traded away, Shay. I mean, chats actually
having a career year. I mean, you have guys like Hartenstein,
Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins. You have guys that you
would say are our quality pieces. It's just you gotta
make the money work and it's gonna cost a lot
to get them.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Those are some good ones.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I like them.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I like them.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
You know what we're gonna do next though, huh talks
and football?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Are we gonna go back to eagle cowboy talk?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I think we should, how, but we do that.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's all next on the Fanatics on Tickets seven sixteen
