00:00So, Terp, I want, because I heard that Brian Windhorst clip where he said that it's going to be a
00:05bidding war for Jalen Brown.
00:07And I just want to know, what teams are we talking about, and what would they be willing to offer
00:12up?
00:12What do you got?
00:13I would think the Pelicans would be one that you look at right away.
00:16Like, there's real interest in Trey Murphy, and there are young players there that they can trade for.
00:20And Trey Murphy, obviously not as established, not as, you know, good as Jalen Brown, but is a very good
00:26player.
00:27Somebody the league views very highly, puts up borderline all-star numbers.
00:30Like, this guy is really good, and he could be one of the names that you'd watch.
00:34But, like, really across the league, when you go from talking about Giannis, right, who, again, top five, at worst,
00:39player in the league, you're not really going to get much higher.
00:42And where around the league can you go trade Jalen and actually look at your team and think it's better?
00:48Okay, I want you to tell me like you did there, and I'm going to tell you whether or not
00:51it's not worth just trying to smooth things out with Jalen.
00:55And that deal right there is not worth not smooth—I would rather keep Jalen.
00:59I would rather put in the work to smooth things over with Jalen.
01:01What about Zion and Trey Murphy? Could you get both of them?
01:04I don't think they'd move Zion.
01:05They wouldn't do it, no.
01:06And I don't think I'd want Zion.
01:07Really?
01:07No, I don't think I'd—he's never on the floor.
01:10He's—I don't think I'd want him.
01:11He's got major issues.
01:12Keep that guy out of the north end, too.
01:13Yeah, oh, God, I know.
01:15Man, you know what? He's Greg Oden 2.0.
01:17Okay.
01:18I've got a weird feeling.
01:19This one would have to happen, like, within the next couple hours here, but what if there was a trade
01:23surrounding the Clippers and the fifth pick and, like, maybe a Darius Garland and Kawhi Leonard?
01:27There'd be more moving parts into there, but—
01:29Wow, I would take that.
01:30The fifth pick, Kawhi and Darius Garland?
01:32Not all of them.
01:32Like, one of the two, something there.
01:35Like, I don't know, I'm kind of going off the—
01:36So, let's just say—let's go the fifth pick and Darius Garland.
01:39Yes, for Jalen.
01:40Yes.
01:41I think that's probably as good as you're going to get right now.
01:43That's pretty good.
01:44Now, you still need a big man.
01:45I mean, you have definite big man issues still, because that's part of the reason you wanted Yadis, right?
01:49You wanted to change your style.
01:50You wanted rim protection and somebody who can finish in the paint, but that's a lot.
01:55I mean, because you tell me this draft's pretty good.
01:58I mean, somebody called Jones and Keefe and said, just even for Boozer, if you could get the third pick
02:02somehow, you know.
02:03The draft is very top-heavy, and that's kind of going to be the reality for drafts moving forward.
02:07It's like with the NIL now, a lot of players that are outside the lottery now that could have a
02:12chance to get in there next year are going to go back to school.
02:14You have more opportunity to make money there.
02:16You can further establish yourself and really increase your draft stock.
02:19So, I think the NIL era obviously hurts the draft as a whole, but if you're moving that far up
02:24when it's been reported, the Celtics are interested in moving up.
02:27Though, if they are to move up, I would expect it to be like, how high up does Hauser and
02:3127 get you?
02:32It's not going to get you in the lottery, but if it gets you kind of right on the fringe
02:35there, like a Detroit or Orlando team that can use shooting, maybe you look at it that way.
02:39But the fifth pick is obviously interesting.
02:42But all this depends on what the Celtics – what is the communication about with Jalen Brown, and do the
02:46Celtics feel like they can no longer win with this duo?
02:49I think that's what it comes down to because if they still feel they can win with this duo, they
02:53have avenues to improve the team around these two.
02:56And looking around the league, it's like there's nothing that really excites me.
02:59It's like, okay, let's move Jalen for this player or this group of players.
03:02At least that's available now.
03:04There's always players that aren't necessarily available, that become available.
03:07And it's like, okay, wow, I can see why they got behind this.
03:10But for now, with the teams and the players that you know are available, there's nothing that really should behoove
03:15the Celtics to move them.
03:16A couple of weeks ago, Paul Pierce was mentioning on his podcast Sabonis.
03:20And I don't know how you would get him.
03:22I don't even know whether or not he's somebody who's available.
03:25I just heard him say it and made my ears perk off.
03:27He's been on, like, every trade rumor for years.
03:30And that's another – that's a good one.
03:31That is a good player.
03:32That's a player that could fit into this system right away, obviously fills a giant need and can be your
03:38stretch five that can be a rebounding presence for you.
03:41Like, that's one that they would look at for sure.
03:43And I think he would play great with Jason Tatum.
03:45Them two would mix awesome.
03:47What about the Pistons, Jalen Dern, who had a bad playoff run, or Isaiah Stewart?
03:51I've heard his name out there.
03:53Isaiah Stewart's not one that I would include in, like, a Jalen Brown trade.
03:55And I don't think they let Dern go.
03:58Like, they're going to give him a lot of money.
04:00That's a really good player.
04:01I know he was terrible in the postseason.
04:03But, like, that's a player that is key to their success.
04:06I don't see them letting him go.
04:07Okay.
04:08All right.
04:08So there was a report that came out yesterday or the day before yesterday that was – it didn't involve
04:15Jalen Brown,
04:15but it did involve making the team potentially better.
04:19And that is – did you read the story about how there is a Derek White for Rudy Gobert potential
04:24trade rumor?
04:24I have seen that, yeah.
04:25That one doesn't make a ton of sense to me either.
04:27And, like, I think Derek White is definitely expandable this year.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Like, obviously getting up there in the age, didn't have a great year last year.
04:34Offensively, defensively, it was great.
04:35Obviously, first team, all defense.
04:37And there is some value in that.
04:38But I'm not sure Rudy Gobert is what this team is looking for.
04:41We keep harping on stretch five, stretch five, stretch five.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Now let's bring in Rudy Gobert, who – him and Kata, very, very, very similar in their games.
04:49They play, like, almost identical.
04:51So, obviously, Gobert is a better player, but I don't think I'd be interested in that one.
04:55All right.
04:56617-779-7937.
04:58Does it look like this is the end for Jalen Brown?
05:01Have the Celtics basically shot themselves in the foot by not making this Giannis trade happen?
05:08It sure does sound like Jalen Brown not very happy, according to his Twitch stream.
05:13But who knows?
05:14I mean, as I said, he is used to being mentioned in trades.
05:17This one seems to be the most public.
05:19Have we passed the point of no return?
05:21And how many times today have you heard, can you put the toothpaste back in the toothpaste holder,
05:27whatever it's called?
05:28Which is what Terp wants to do.
05:29Tier 1 Terp is trying.
05:30Which is, like, I heard that a million times today.
05:33Unless there's something out there worthwhile, I'm trying to put the genie back in the bottle.
