00:00So let's turn our attention to the Pistons and the draft tonight,
00:04and it's going to be a little bit of draft, a little bit of trade,
00:06a little bit of free agency.
00:08What exactly do you want to come out of this with?
00:11Because, look, with Tyler Hero now going to Milwaukee, it changes things.
00:16We'll get to that in a second.
00:18Then you factor in, you know, again, all the reports.
00:21This is a problem with the NBA.
00:24Well, this team's checked in on this and this and this,
00:26and none of it ever happens.
00:28But, okay, Trey Murphy.
00:31Then you factor in the report today about Norman Powell.
00:35You got a free agent signing, you got a trade, and then you got this pick.
00:40Now, I said for weeks, I don't want to use the pick.
00:45The Pistons already have enough youth, and I just don't think at 21
00:50you're going to get anything that will be really impactful
00:52to a championship run next year.
00:55It's just too difficult.
00:56It's too difficult to rely on a rookie to play playoff minutes.
01:00And if this season didn't tell you that the regular season is fake,
01:04then you're never going to learn that lesson.
01:05So with that in mind, yeah, I want the pick tonight traded,
01:09meaning it's with something else.
01:12It's to get a player.
01:13It's to facilitate a move.
01:16The other interesting thing to look for would be, okay, does Trajan want to add a pick
01:23to then move up in the draft?
01:25Would you see an Isaiah Stewart dealt pre-draft tonight?
01:28I don't know.
01:30I do believe he will get dealt.
01:31He will not be with this team in the fall.
01:34But I want to know what you guys want, because nothing at 21 really interests me
01:39as it pertains to the window is open.
01:43It's time to go.
01:44And no, I don't believe Miami's better than you.
01:47Even adding Giannis.
01:49I don't.
01:49I think they are just an equally flawed team to you.
01:52They got better odds, though, don't they?
01:54Again.
01:55I tell you what, I'll book the bet anytime.
01:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:59You can have the odds.
02:00I think part of that is it's Miami.
02:02You know, it's like when certain football teams, they're always laying the points.
02:06You know, there's no way.
02:07I just, what do people want?
02:10Because the news of Norman Powell, Rico, that scares me.
02:13That's just a typical B-minus, low-rent move.
02:19That's a 33-year-old player off his first All-Star season who's going to want a four-year deal
02:25to the tune of, you know, maybe an Aya DeSomo kind of deal, like 115 mil.
02:306'3", he definitely can shoot it.
02:32He can.
02:34But when you, I want to ask you guys this again.
02:36When you started the offseason, did you believe your core was Cade Durnasour?
02:42When you started the offseason and you demanded a robin for Cade,
02:47did the name Norman Powell cross your mind?
02:49No.
02:50You thought he was the dude who ran the Bates Motel in Psycho.
02:54So, seriously, before you call up and cape up for Norman Powell,
02:59like we just did this with Tyler Hero, that's the other thing.
03:02Now, Hero with Milwaukee becomes cheaper.
03:06Why?
03:06Because you do not have to cater to multiple fronts here.
03:11Now, would Hero as a rental in Milwaukee cost you less than if you were a part of the deal
03:18and you had to supply the heat with something?
03:22Supply Milwaukee with something.
03:23I don't know.
03:24No, no, because I was going to bring this up.
03:26Because the trade technically can't get finalized until July 6th.
03:30You can tinker.
03:31You can tinker.
03:32And if you still want Tyler Hero, you go and you offer Milwaukee something.
03:37And maybe Milwaukee is still trying to stockpile things and they will take a 21st pick.
03:44Like they take the 21st and Ron Holland.
03:47Right.
03:47I don't know.
03:47Look, I can't figure out Milwaukee's plan.
03:50Maybe Hero's comfortable going home.
03:53Maybe he's going to get the bag.
03:55Maybe he gets to be.
03:57And he's not a lead dog.
03:58But maybe he can be the lead dog.
04:00I don't know.
04:01I can't get inside players' heads.
04:03But Rico, I'm asking the fans, what do you want from Trajan Langdon that you feel like you will enter
04:11your championship phase?
04:13Because, pardon me if I don't believe Norman Powell is that.
04:17Picking at 21 is that.
04:18I just don't.
04:20I don't see enough high-end talent on this roster to win a championship.
04:25No, Mike, we both had disappointments when it came to the NBA last night.
04:29Like, your Celtics did not get Giannis and Io DeSumo signed long-term.
04:34I saw that early this morning.
04:36Oh, no, Rico.
04:37That's your guy.
04:38Like, the Giannis thing, you just got to draw a line in the sand at a certain point.
04:41And I think you nailed it.
04:43Milwaukee was just going to ask for more and more and more and more.
04:46And you're like, man, I want the player.
04:48But it's not like making this deal makes us tower above OKC or San Antonio.
04:54I'm like, at a certain point, tell them to F themselves.
04:56I can't keep doing this.
04:57See, I don't think Milwaukee really wanted to do the deal with Boston, but they needed
05:00Boston to break up with them.
05:03So I'm just going to keep doing things until you finally say, OK, enough.
05:072, 4, 8, 5, 3, 9, 97, 97.
05:10What do you want out of tonight?
05:11Do you want them using the pick?
05:13Do you want to trade that pick?
05:14Do you want to move up?
05:16Do you want to see a trade for a player tonight?
05:18Or are you cool using the pick?
05:21Sign Norman Powell and raise a banner.
05:23Just tell me what you want.
05:26That's basically what I have for you with the business tonight.
05:29If you think I'm doing some deep dive on who the hell you're taking at 21, you're out of your
05:32mind.
05:34It's ridiculous.
05:35Oh, let me give you a deep dive on Bennett Sturtz.
05:39What?
05:39I'll give you that later.
05:41I can't wait.
05:422, 4, 8, 5, 3, 9, 97, 97.
05:43David, text.
05:47Someone's asking, I want starting five of Cade, Powell, Asar, Murphy, and Durin.
05:51Is that possible?
05:53I don't know how you'd swing the Murphy piece.
05:56Yeah, that would be tough without giving up Asar.
05:58Yeah.
05:59They said Cade, Powell, Asar, Murphy, and Durin.
06:03You would have to give up Asar.
06:03Now, you do that keeping Durin and Asar.
06:06Oh, 100% they are.
06:07They're never getting rid of those people.
06:08No, no, no.
06:09Then how are you getting Murphy?
06:10Right.
06:10To get Murphy, you would have to give up Asar.
06:12You would.
06:12You just have to hope that Joe Dumars and Troy Weaver are absolutely terrible at their
06:17job and they take Ron Holland and some picks.
06:19I was going to say, what is this, the movie Celtic Pride?
06:21You just kidnap him and bring him here?
06:23Wow.
06:2497.
06:2597.
06:2597.
