00:00now one of the major news stories that tobin was on uh front lines for i saw his live stream
00:06when
00:06yannis officially got traded and he had i think upwards of about 2 000 people in his live on
00:16youtube as of course he was embarrassing embarrassing us in a captain's hat and a very
00:24strange fight shirt friday but nonetheless you know the vibes were high but now it's time to unpack
00:32the reality of the situation you have yannis now what's next there has been a multitude of roster
00:40moves that give you small indications as to what's happening but the most important domino
00:44is most likely going to fall today sometime before 5 p.m uh andrew wiggins of course being that domino
00:51with his contract option uh whether or not he's opting in uh being determined today by 5 p.m
00:59uh the implications are that if he does opt in he could potentially be uh a big piece for a
01:10trade
01:11that could potentially land a bron james or other options to bolster the roster and then there's
01:16other people who are like well if we do end up keeping a mini option he also fits in really
01:20well
01:20with the two pieces that are next to him leroy which way are you leaning in regards to what you
01:25want andrew wiggins to do there's a third option oh and that he opts out but the team gives him
01:31like
01:32a three-year deal so they just like restructure almost kind of but he has to opt out yeah um
01:39say
01:39he's gonna get what third uh how much 25 this year is it 25 i think it's 30 35 it
01:47might be 30
01:47i'll tell you right i think it's 35 um and if you take that and make it three years 20
01:57million a year
01:59you give him 60 million yeah says that he is uh for the 2006 20 27 season carrying a cap
02:08hit of 30
02:09million so 30 million so what if i give you three years 60 million you double your money it's guaranteed
02:15money yeah and it gives us 10 million dollars so it's a win-win i like that i like that
02:22well that's
02:23that's the other option yeah um but now a lot of times we don't consider because think of it this
02:29way
02:31who's going to give andrew wiggins 30 million a year
02:36if he opts out he gonna get a very similar deal 15 to 20 million for two or three years
02:43trae young just made a lot of money he made a lot of money in washington
02:49wait wiggins
02:52is not trae young
02:55okay yeah and also
02:58ain't nobody else in the league
03:01like the washington wizards
03:03so no one's dumb enough
03:05they also gave bradley bill they let him
03:07he came up twice
03:09so let's think about that
03:11so
03:12that exclude the anomalies
03:15yeah
03:16that's an anomaly can you think let me ask you a question
03:20if we had traded for trae young
03:24would trae young be maxed out with the heat
03:29uh i don't think so
03:30right
03:31anywhere else
03:32any other team that runs their team
03:35with some bit of
03:37you know
03:38organization
03:40right
03:41is anybody going to give trae a max
03:43212 million
03:46no i don't
03:47right
03:47so so so from that standpoint
03:51let's exclude that deal
03:53and and and wiggins got to be smart enough to know
03:56i mean i'm more than sure somebody in this league is saying
03:59if he got it i should get a max
04:02no
04:02go play for the wizards
04:04that's where you're getting your max
04:05yeah for sure
04:06um so
04:07there's that
04:08i
04:08personally would
04:11i'm i'm trying to
04:13and you know
04:14i i love lebron
04:16right
04:18but i'd rather have wiggins on a three-year deal
04:20than lebron on a one-year deal
04:22and have to play this game over again next year
04:26and find a replacement for that position
04:29when wiggins shoots the three really well
04:32he's gonna play defense
04:34the only problem i have with wiggins is
04:37is that
04:38dude could have 20 in the first quarter
04:41and not shoot the ball till the fourth quarter
04:44and and so
04:45that's kind of his personality though
04:47and i think
04:48it always seems like it's a mental thing
04:50like never have i been like
04:51he doesn't have the ability to do something
04:53he's one of the most talented players in the league
04:55correct
04:56but he just like disappears sometimes
04:57and and i don't know why
04:59and i think that
05:01you want to know what a good coaching job is
05:03figure that out
05:05figure that out
05:06figure out
05:07like
05:07hey man you're one of the most talented players in nba
05:11you don't disappear
05:12those guys don't disappear
05:15they
05:15when they score 20
05:16they think they're gonna score 50
05:18i think this is how you figure it out though
05:20this is how steve kirk figured it out
05:22you get another player so that
05:24andrew wiggins is not the guy you depend on
05:25that's what you figure it out
05:27and that's just
05:27the funny thing about it is
05:29is that
05:30i don't think we ever went into a game
05:32depending on andrew wiggins
05:34but including andrew wiggins
05:36you see what i'm saying
05:38there's a big difference
05:38yeah
05:39right
05:39like for example
05:41this is not a knock on chris bosh
05:43but
05:44you didn't depend on chris bosh
05:48but
05:48he was an important
05:50uh piece
05:51of the success
05:52the team had
05:54but
05:54you wasn't going into a game saying
05:56if i don't get 25 from chris bosh
05:58we can't win
05:59you said that about lebron and d wake
06:02so
06:03there's that
06:04if you have that other piece
06:06and you have the other piece like yannis
06:07think how many open shots he's gonna get
06:09think of how many over middies he's gonna get
06:11think about
06:12how his game is gonna be able to be more
06:15have more of an impact
06:16because you have that guy
06:18same thing
06:18when he was in golden state
06:20when he could have very easily won the uh
06:22finals mvp
06:24because they don't win that without wiggins
06:26but we didn't go into that series saying
06:30wiggins has to be the guy
06:32and that's kind of
06:33that's kind of
06:34that's his role right there
06:36yeah yeah
06:36right
06:36put him in a position where he doesn't have to be the guy
06:38but you you have to have the talent
06:40and he has the talent
06:41so
06:41i
06:43you know
06:43as much as i love lebron
06:46i would rather have wiggins
06:48where this team is
06:50i think wiggins
06:51for the next two or three years
06:53would make more of an impact
06:54than lebron would in one year
06:57and
06:57yeah
06:58and
06:59he seems to be more compatible
07:03with yannis and bam
07:04whereas if you bring lebron
07:06you got three guys that do damn near the same thing
07:09now there's been a couple names that have been uh
07:12linked as the roster moves
07:14uh
07:14we'll discuss some of those roster moves real quick
07:16uh
07:17drew smith got a deal
07:17whatever
07:18guaranteed money next year
07:19whatever
07:19great
07:20happy for him
07:20yay
07:21whoop-dee-doo
07:21uh
07:22vlad golden
07:23uh
07:24earned a uh
07:25two-way contract
07:26i believe this year
07:27so that's
07:28you know
07:28securing a bit of size
07:30we let a couple guards walk
07:32um
07:33let's see
07:34the
07:36exact
07:37reports
07:38here
07:38is
07:39miami extended
07:40two-way qualifying offer
07:41to seven foot center
07:42vlad golden
07:42uh
07:43they did not extend
07:44a qualifying offer to guard
07:46trevor keels
07:47um
07:50uh
07:50trey donaldson
07:51was another person
07:52who was filling
07:53two of the teams
07:54three two-way contract slots
07:56now there has been rumors
07:58that
07:58tell me if this name
07:59introduce
08:00or intrigues you at all
08:01uh
08:02out of denver
08:03did one year with denver
08:04bit of an off year
08:05i guess you'd say
08:06cam johnson
08:07uh
08:08that name
08:09he's
08:09he's along that wiggins
08:10that wiggins line
08:12that wing is
08:12wiggins you know
08:13so
08:14i'm guessing
08:16depending on what happens
08:17with wiggins
08:17then cam johnson
08:19would be a guy
08:20that could come in
08:21and do some things
08:22at that position
08:23right
08:24yeah
08:25uh
08:25and so
08:26that's that's kind of why
08:28you have a lot of names
08:29out there
08:29because everybody's
08:31starting to get a feel
08:32for what the heat need
08:34what the heat could lose
08:36and so now
08:37everybody's just pointing out
08:38oh well this guy's free
08:40this guy's free
08:40this guy
08:41you know
08:42and and that's how
08:43you you kind of
08:44move the pieces around
08:46so
08:46i don't know if the
08:48cam johnson thing
08:49is even a thought
08:50if wiggins was
08:52under contract
08:53now this is something
08:54that just happened
08:55uh within the last hour
08:56or so
08:56uh
08:57draymond green
08:58just declined his contract
08:59with golden state
09:00is he retiring
09:02that's a good question
09:04man you know
09:04i don't see
09:05or
09:05or
09:06or
09:06keep in mind
09:07he's so old
09:08that's actually
09:09he declined
09:11for what
09:1240
09:14uh
09:14he declined
09:16his 27.7
09:1727.7
09:18so what if they do
09:19the same thing
09:20three years
09:2115
09:21like a
09:22like a restructure
09:22of some sort
09:23three years
09:2315
09:25these are all
09:26conversations
09:26that have probably
09:27been had
09:28have been had
09:29before these guys
09:31made these moves
09:32because
09:32if he can't get
09:33another contract
09:34anywhere else
09:34and i gotta tell you
09:36yeah
09:38draymond green
09:38is one of them
09:39players that only
09:40seems to work
09:40for golden state
09:42right
09:43so who else
09:44is going to give him
09:45a two or three year deal
09:46where he's going to
09:47make more than
09:4827 and a half million
