00:00Alright, so we've got some big news here. We're back in the game, baby.
00:04With the number 9 overall pick, the Memphis Grizzlies select Zach Eadie.
00:10Yes, what a big ass win. Top 10 pick, let's go.
00:13Big ass win for us. I had to give some crap to John Martin.
00:16He tweeted like 3 hours ago about Eadie at 9, too.
00:19I was like, hey, thanks for the tip, homie. If you would have told me the exact result,
00:23I would have been rich. I know, well it was only 7-1, or maybe it
00:27was actually, let me see, that was for 7. So to go 9, Eadie was only plus 600.
00:35So we really didn't get that much value. We could have gotten 7, 8, 9, or 10.
00:42So that was all good. Plus 500, and we get the Eadie under 15.5.
00:47Let's go. Thank God. Cody Williams goes 10 to Utah.
00:50I actually really like that for Utah. Me too.
00:53So that means Dalton Connect could be going to Chicago, maybe?
00:58Oh, that's a terrible pick. I want Missy.
01:02I want Missy at 30-1. Yeah, screw us.
01:08I don't care about my team, I care about my money.
01:10Zach Eadie kind of felt like the guy that was going to jump and go higher than what
01:13he was getting mocked just because of what he did in college, and you felt like there
01:17was a team that needs a big, would that be the opportunity there, and the Grizzlies end
01:21up taking it. I mean, yeah, it was amazing when we first talked about it, was it last
01:27week, Mario, or was it the beginning of this week, where we talked about him being at 16.
01:30It was 16.5, and it jumped down to 15 pretty quick. It was Monday, right?
01:33Monday, that was Monday. Yeah, and I looked at that number, and I was
01:36like, 16.5 is way too high for him. That's an easy under, and it kept dropping down.
01:40There were some 14.5s, I think, out there too, but yeah, it's just, you look at somebody
01:44like that in a lot of other drafts that may have had more talented big men that are the
01:48big men that you see today in the NBA, you might not see Zach Eady going in the top 10
01:54with today's NBA, but like, it's all development players in this draft for the most part, or
01:59guys with lower ceilings that may just be solid veterans down the road, so if you're
02:03the Grizzlies, why not? Why not take him at that point?
02:07Yeah, I liked it. Exciting stuff.
02:09I can't wait to see just kind of like what it looks like, to be honest, because I mean,
02:12the dude could play like we talked about last night. He played 40 minutes like every game
02:16Yeah.
02:17Unless he was in foul trouble, which he doesn't really get in foul trouble.
02:18He never gets in foul trouble.
02:19But he's not the fastest guy, you know.
02:22You're being nice.
02:23Yeah, I mean, watching him run.
02:24It's like watching cement on his feet.
02:25Yeah, watching him run. It's like he's got like something attached to his back. He can't
02:28really move all that well laterally, but I mean, yeah, the dude could rebound and block
02:31shots, so.
02:32Man.
02:33Now we see what the Bulls do here. Four minutes. I don't know that I can wait. What do you
02:37think, Mario?
02:38I'm like falling in love with Don't Connect. I don't know why, man.
02:42He kind of reminds me too much of Doug McDermott. I covered that draft and I was so mad.
02:47I just want a shooter.
02:48Yeah, I don't know. We got Kobe White.
02:50What you gonna get? What are you gonna get? What do you think it's gonna be?
02:52Do you want me to tell you who it is or do you want to wait until it happens?
02:55All right, I'm gonna let you guys have your moment.
02:57Look at Danny Hurley.
02:58Oh, real quick, by the way, the eighth overall pick that was Rob Dillingham by the Spurs.
03:01He got traded to Minnesota. The Timberwolves were sending a 20-31 unprotected first.
03:06Oh, wow.
03:07And a protected, and it's a top one protected 20-30 pick swap to the Spurs for Dillingham.
03:12So that's way, way down the road, which in a lot of ways, if you're making a trade and you're getting picks back from a good team,
03:17you're better off trading for picks way down the line.
03:20Correct.
03:20Hoping that they're gonna be bad versus next year or the year after when they could still be a late first-round pick.
03:26Fascinating. Man, Minnesota, that was a good trade for them, Minnesota.
03:30Finding a way to replace Mike Conley because Mike Conley is old, old as dirt.
03:36Yes, he is.
03:38Now he gets to learn from Mike Conley, and Mike Conley is gonna teach him how to be a better table setter,
03:42and that's what Rob Dillingham does really well.
03:45Figure out a way to get other guys involved, to get a true point card.
03:48Exciting. Very exciting.
03:49I'm gonna be honest. I think I've had seven bets already.
03:53I'm six for seven so far tonight.
03:55Good for you.
03:55This has been...
03:56Like, we've had a lot of chalk in this for the most part,
03:59though some of these have been last-minute where we're seeing some last-minute reports, and it's like, let's jump in.
04:03That Zach Eady top ten, I'm glad we talked that out at the break.
04:06I'm so glad we did that, yes.
04:08That actually made the night.
04:10Yeah, especially because I need the Yankees and the Mets to resume.
04:13How much did you put on that Zach Eady number?
04:14Just 100, but I'll take it. I got it at almost 3-1, and that saves...
04:17That gets me back to where I needed to be, kind of.
04:20If the Yankees... If this game gets called, I win the Mets.
04:24Because we went five, right?
04:26Yeah.
04:27No, we didn't go five.
04:28It was bottom of the fifth.
04:30Yeah, I need...
04:32Yeah, but I have the under. That would not count.
04:35Twelve minutes ago, I'm told the Kings are still engaged in trade talks involving the number 13 pick in the draft.
04:41The two names I'm hearing right now, Washington Wizards, Kyle Kuzma, and Brooklyn Nets small forward Cam Johnson.
04:47Either one of those picks for Sacramento would be incredible.
04:50That'd be awesome.
04:51I would rather have Cam Johnson.
04:53Cam Johnson would be a great...
04:55I think Cam Johnson would be really great.
04:56He'd really fit with them well.
04:58Yeah, that's...
04:59I mean, Kuzma would be good too, yeah.
05:01Either one of them's good, but Cam's a little bit younger, and you're gonna get even better shooting.
05:05I didn't add him, but let's...
05:07Oh, I thought you were...
05:08Yeah, I was looking up there for a second too.
05:09I was trying to see what was going on.
