NBA Trade Deadline Predictions
Transcript
00:00 As Jerry Jones says, deadlines make deals.
00:03 However, we're gonna talk about the NBA, not the NFL.
00:06 The trade deadline is February 8th.
00:08 Which teams do you feel like will be most active?
00:12 >> I think the teams at the top, which we're still pinching ourselves when I look
00:15 at the standings are like in the West.
00:17 I'm like the Thunder and the Timberwolves.
00:19 Like this is upside down, this is Thompson-Turbey.
00:22 But they're still there.
00:24 I mean, we're almost to the all-star break, they're still playing well.
00:28 There's a couple players that I think will be moved.
00:30 The teams, who the heck knows, with the NBA.
00:33 But I think Portland with Malcolm Brogdon,
00:35 cuz they're having such a horrible year and he's such a good player.
00:38 He could be moved.
00:40 And in the Eastern Conference, Kyle Kuzma, former Laker,
00:44 now with the Wizards, if you've forgotten where he'd gone, he's buried with the Wizards.
00:48 Not having a great year, but I think the Mavericks might be interested in him,
00:50 cuz the Mavericks had to do, had to add something.
00:53 And speaking of the Mavericks trade deadline,
00:55 there's always a team or a blockbuster trade where you're like, what?
01:00 You didn't see it coming.
01:01 >> There's so much movement in the NBA, right before the deadline.
01:04 >> And it's unpredictable.
01:06 Because it's like, you're so far into the season, we're halfway, right, essentially.
01:11 Are you essentially walking into the buffet like 30 minutes before it closes and
01:16 paying full price and going, I really want it.
01:19 I know I'm overpaying, I'm not gonna get all I want, but I can't help myself.
01:22 That's what it feels like.
01:23 The Mavericks last year made the blockbuster for Kyrie Irving, right?
01:27 Since that trade, they are 35 and 41.
01:30 Was it worth it?
01:32 No, I mean- >> The record would suggest so.
01:34 >> Right, they left the buffet still hungry or maybe too full.
01:37 I don't know what they did, but it didn't work.
01:38 But some team will make that kind of a blockbuster this year out of panic.
01:42 It's just like we have to do something.
01:44 So predict the unpredictable, NBA.
