00:00 All right, let's go through these final three.
00:07 P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford to the Mavs, the Thunder.
00:11 Do a small something by adding an adult in the room in Gordon Hayward and the Bucs swap
00:15 backup point guards Patrick Beverley for campaign.
00:19 Which one of these three moves are most likely to impact who wins the NBA championship this
00:25 season in your opinion?
00:28 I think it's got to be Gordon Hayward.
00:30 You know, when you look at a team that's so young and experienced in Oklahoma City with
00:34 Sam Presley with the 38 draft picks he had going into his disposal before the trade deadline
00:40 to go get an experienced guy like Gordon Hayward.
00:42 It's interesting guys.
00:43 Gordon Hayward was going to be a prime, ready, buyout candidate.
00:48 So what Oklahoma City did is they made the trade to go get him now because probably they
00:54 weren't going to get him in the buyout market, if that makes sense.
00:58 He was going to go somewhere else.
00:59 Rumored to be New York, maybe LA, somewhere else.
01:01 But you get an adult in the room which really benefits him.
01:05 Now for me, I know Gafford kind of helps as a big P.J. Washington.
01:10 That doesn't do it enough for me for Dallas because I still have to put them to me in
01:14 the top five in the Western Conference.
01:17 So I don't think that's a help.
01:19 And Milwaukee, we'll see.
01:21 If you look at their metrics, right, they lose Darvon Hamm a couple of years ago who
01:25 was the defensive coordinator, right?
01:26 You lose the best on-guard defender in Drew Holliday in the offseason.
01:29 You lose Grayson Allen, an underrated defender.
01:32 They were getting shredded, Davis, by high-quality scoring point guards.
01:38 Look at what Brunton Halliburton has done to Milwaukee.
01:40 So what do you do?
01:41 You go get the biggest pest in the NBA and say, "Go sick 'em."
01:45 And that's what Pat Babbitt is going to do.
01:47 I don't think it helps enough to get them to the championship because I think the biggest
01:52 problem they have is the guy that's the head coach.
01:57 (bell dings)
