00:03 - Coach, a lot of moving parts here as well
00:05 because this were three teams involved
00:06 and it feels like a fourth team was involved
00:08 which actually wasn't and it was the Miami Heat.
00:10 I wanna talk about from a Suns perspective
00:12 and a Portland Trailblazers perspective here.
00:14 'Cause if you look at Portland,
00:15 they did the right thing here.
00:16 You're in rebuild mode, get as many future assets
00:19 as you possibly can.
00:20 But can you also touch on what we're getting for the Suns?
00:22 Obviously, DeAndre Ayton wasn't working out.
00:24 You moved Nerkic in there
00:25 and you actually get some bench pieces.
00:27 I love what happened with the Suns here, coach.
00:30 - I agree, Donnie.
00:31 I think what we were worried about
00:33 with a team like Phoenix is their depth
00:35 and obviously affected things
00:36 which they got guys as well that get hurt as well.
00:39 Bradley Beal and obviously Kevin Durant
00:41 have showed that they have injury concerns at times.
00:44 So to me, to be able to get Yusup Nerkic
00:47 which as a passer and as a offensive, defensive rebounder,
00:52 that's all they needed out of the center position.
00:55 DeAndre Ayton was not gonna be happy with that role.
00:57 So you move Ayton out, you get him
00:59 and then you get some bench pieces.
01:01 So if you start looking at a team like Phoenix,
01:04 you know, who's got Lee, who's got other parts now
01:07 with Grayson Allen and even a guy like Nassir Little,
01:11 they now have lengthened themselves,
01:14 make them deeper which I think is important.
01:16 But I think the sneaky team in this
01:18 could be obviously Portland.
01:21 Getting Ayton as that low post threat,
01:23 he's gonna be the guy there
01:25 but then you look at the other pieces they got
01:28 and the ability to turn around, take Holiday
01:30 and move him for more assets.
01:32 It's a full rebuild with Chauncey Billups
01:36 and I like where they're going now.
01:37 They got the pieces.
01:39 This is better than what they were gonna get from Miami
01:41 with the package around Tyler Hero.
