0:01
So, trade season has opened this week.
0:03
Shams just took a deep breath.
0:04
It started off with a blockbuster trade, right?
0:07
Giannis heading to South Beach, Tyler Herro.
0:10
Well, homecoming in Milwaukee.
0:11
And then the details and the deals, they continued.
0:14
LaMelo Ball on his way to Minnesota, Julius Randle going to Brooklyn, Beef Stew,
0:18
Isaiah Stewart getting a little bit of Memphis barbecue.
0:21
Dave McMenamin is joining us now
0:23
because the offseason moves are just getting started
0:25
and we expect the Lakers,
0:26
right, to be a part of that. >> of work still remaining for the Lakers,
0:28
but I want to hear what Shams has.
0:29
>> Yeah, there's some big dominoes that we are still tracking.
0:33
Jaylen Brown possibly, Shams.
0:34
Who do you have your eye on here
0:36
as we officially get to free agency?
0:38
>> there's a lot going on on a lot of levels,
0:40
but I think the biggest name
0:41
that I hear right now on the trade front is Jaylen Brown of the
0:45
Celtics.
0:45
The Celtics are actively engaged with multiple interested teams in Jaylen Brown.
0:49
And And around the league,
0:51
the word is right now that the Celtics are discussing deals with a purpose.
0:55
Jaylen Brown has 3 years left on his deal at a supermax clip,
0:58
but we know they made an offer of Jaylen Brown
1:01
and two first-round picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
1:04
They didn't get Giannis,
1:06
and now they are discussing deals with multiple teams around Jaylen Brown.
1:10
And so, technically, there isn't urgency because of the length of his contract,
1:14
but depending how this offseason goes, depending how long this trade situation uh develops,
1:20
the urgency could uh start on either end of the spectrum of this.
1:25
There's no doubt these hard conversations between the Celtics
1:27
and Jaylen Brown are continuing to go on.
1:30
>> There's three big names who've come sort of off the board.
1:32
We've obviously had Giannis move.
1:34
>> Yeah.
1:34
>> LaMelo's moved.
1:35
And we had Austin Reaves.
1:37
He never was really on the market, but he would have been.
1:39
>> Yeah, the extension happened.
1:40
>> Let's pay attention to the teams
1:41
that we've heard attached to those guys
1:43
that haven't landed anybody.
1:45
So, Detroit was that interested in Reaves
1:47
and just didn't getting in on the Giannis deal at one point.
1:50
We We had Portland who's been interested in Giannis, interested in LaMelo.
1:54
We have Toronto >> Right. >> who's been interested in Giannis
1:56
and interested in making a big move for a
1:59
while.
1:59
>> Okay.
1:59
>> Let's keep an eye on these three teams.
2:00
>> Right, because just
2:01
because they missed out on those guys doesn't mean
2:02
that there is not still interest out there.
2:04
You bring up Portland.
2:04
I want to head to the big board.
2:06
That's where our front office insider Bobby Marks is.
2:08
So, Bobby, whenever there are specific teams and names that are brought up,
2:11
I'm always curious how they're going to work.
2:13
Make it work for Jaylen Brown, please.
2:15
>> Well, I we're going to look at Portland right now
2:17
and I think Portland's a wild card just
2:18
because of whenever you have new ownership
2:21
that certainly puts it in play
2:23
as far as someone going out
2:24
and making a big splash with the Trail Blazers do.
2:27
He Here's what they have.
2:28
They've got five tradable first.
2:30
Remember, they control Milwaukee's first from 2028 to 2030 from the Damian Lillard trade
2:35
here.
2:36
Young player.
2:37
So, if you are a team like Boston, hey,
2:40
you're looking for a paint present?
2:41
How about Donovan Clingan?
2:44
Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe.
2:46
The column over here, established starters.
2:48
Certainly, if I'm Portland, I don't want to part ways with Deni Avdija,
2:50
but Jerami Grant, uh Jrue Holiday back, Damian Lillard's got a no-trade clause,
2:55
but for the for the Trail Blazers this is what you have to offer
2:59
and they've certainly poked around
3:01
when it came to Giannis.
3:02
I would have certainly expect them to poke around
3:05
when some of these big names starting with Jaylen Brown.
3:07
>> Okay, so Sham, do you see the list of possible assets here?
3:11
Do you like the idea of Jaylen Brown and the Portland Trail Blazers?
3:15
>> I do, but I >> That was a very slow I do.
3:18
If you were at the altar, I'm not so sure.
3:21
>> >> So, so Deni Avdija I really like his game.
3:25
>> Yep.
3:25
>> I feel like that's the only way a trade could even go down
3:29
with those two teams.
3:31
Uh I I would love to have Jaylen Brown,
3:34
but I would love to have Jaylen Brown knowing that I have Deni Avdija.
3:38
>> Yeah.
3:38
>> If I was going to do something like that,
3:39
but if it does so happen,
3:41
I have no problem with Jaylen Brown
3:43
and uh Damian Lillard getting to share backcourt.
3:47
>> Yeah, getting to share backcourt.
3:48
Maybe fitting Holiday.
3:50
>> I'm not saying they're looking to trade him, but Jr.
3:51
Holiday is out there and Austin obviously has great appreciation and history.
3:56
>> I'm just curious how many dominoes might be standing in the way of
3:59
Jaylen Brown because you mentioned
4:00
that an Austin Reaves wasn't necessarily available,
4:03
but when you're talking about Kawhi Leonard has a extension
4:07
that I'm sure he's hoping to reach going into an expiring deal.
4:10
>> >> When you're looking at Jaylen Brown,
4:12
are teams sort of waiting also to see is any are any of these
4:15
other things percolating as we try to keep our our our pans in the
4:18
oven?
4:18
>> Well, look, here's what you're going to do.
4:20
If you're going to call the Celtics,
4:21
you know that they didn't get Giannis
4:23
and you know that it's now blasting out there.
4:25
You're going to lowball them.
4:26
You're going to say, "Boy, you're in big trouble here.
4:28
You can't bring Jaylen Brown to training camp."
4:29
You're going to lowball them.
4:31
Well, whether they can or can't, that's what >> going to say,
4:32
can they not bring him to training camp?
4:33
I think they can.
4:34
>> That's what they're going to say, okay?
4:35
And so, you're going to lowball them.
4:38
And so, there's going to be a process to go through
4:39
and Boston is going to have to play the game where they try to
4:42
get multiple offers against each other
4:44
and try to get it up just like Milwaukee did with Giannis.
4:46
So, it could be a process.
4:48
>> Right now, what we're seeing is Boston is is out there.
4:52
They're scouring the market and and seeing what is out there for Jaylen Brown.
4:55
And I think both both of these sides are on the same accord,
4:58
but if there's no deal that happens in a specific period of time,
5:02
I think teams around the league are waiting to see what does Jaylen Brown
5:05
feel about that eventually
5:06
if this gets to a mid-July
5:07
or a late July.
5:08
That is a question we don't have answered yet.
5:10
>> Yeah, and that's
5:10
when the urgency maybe could change for Jaylen Brown after we hear from him.
5:14
All right, we've been talking about Austin Reaves.
5:15
Let's talk about it a little bit more officially because Shams,
5:17
you reported that he intends to sign a $185 million max deal with the
5:23
Los Angeles Lakers.
5:24
By the way, that that's the biggest contract in NBA history for an undrafted
5:28
player,
5:29
which is awesome and you can see why.
5:32
I know our bars covering him a little bit,
5:33
but this is his reaction
5:34
when he found out on the golf course
5:36
because you should.
5:37
That's generational wealth and Reaves was set to be an unrestricted free agent.
5:41
So, okay, one box is checked for the Lakers, but Dave,
5:44
there's still a lot of questions particularly
5:46
because you reported that this is sort of been the summer that's been promised
5:49
to Luka that they're going to go out
5:51
and get a big man.
5:51
>> Yeah, I mean Luka Doncic,
5:53
source close to him told me
5:54
that his feedback to Lakers front office before he went away for the summer
5:57
was get me an A-list center.
5:59
And I need that to compete.
6:01
And Luka's camp was also told
6:02
when they were traded from Dallas to LA a year
6:06
and a half ago
6:07
that it's the summer of 2026.
6:09
Wait till the summer of 2026,
6:10
then we're going to show you what we mean for the future
6:13
and your future as the face of our franchise.
6:15
Thus far, people would say I think it was a pretty good draft night.
6:18
You got Cam Reddish dropping in the draft
6:21
and obviously you resigned Austin
6:22
and Luka made it clear he wants to keep playing with Austin Reaves.
6:26
>> Right.
6:26
>> But there's so much work to be done with this roster,
6:28
starting with the center position.
6:30
And we don't know if Deandre Ayton's going to opt in to his deal.
6:34
And if he does, if the feedback is get me an A-list center,
6:37
>> Yeah. >> and Ayton was already on the team last year.
6:40
If he opts in,
6:40
that means Rob Pelinka needs to find a trade partner for Ayton.
6:43
>> Okay, who who's out there?
6:44
>> Well, right now we have Mitchell Robinson and Robert Williams out there.
6:47
We don't have Walker Kessler
6:49
and Jalen Duren on this on this board
6:51
because they're restricted free agents here.
6:54
And the likelihood is that both their teams,
6:56
Utah and Detroit would match an offer sheet.
6:59
Size, size, size.
7:01
I don't know they're good players, A-list centers,
7:04
does that fall into that category?
7:05
Some shooting when you look at Landry Shamet and Quentin Grimes.
7:09
>> Yeah.
7:09
>> I think Malika, the biggest question is going to be LeBron though.
7:11
Because what will happen here is $50 million in cap space.
7:16
What happens if the LeBron James decision goes into the first week of July
7:21
and all these free agents,
7:22
the four of them, are off the board.
7:24
Do you go out
7:25
and sign the one two of these players
7:27
and then basically go back to LeBron James
7:29
and say,
7:30
"This is what we have."
7:33
So if you're basically trying to do both at the same time,
7:36
there's a certainly a timeline on how you do that.
7:38
>> It feels like you would have to bring LeBron into those conversations.
7:41
If that's how you want to use that money,
7:43
you need to clue him into that.
7:45
>> For sure, you got to include him in,
7:46
but I think that LeBron understands the importance, especially of a big.
7:51
Uh, you know, if you got to take a couple of mill less to
7:55
get you a big to make sure
7:56
that you guys can be where you need to be.
7:58
If that's LeBron, I think LeBron's smart enough to do
8:01
that uh and willing to do
8:03
that,
8:03
especially at this point in his career.
8:05
LeBron, you don't need that couple mill.
8:07
>> >> I mean, summer 2024, he made it clear to the Lakers,
8:10
I will take a pay cut.
8:11
He took a little bit of a pay cut.
8:12
He would have taken an even bigger one.
8:14
>> Yeah.
8:14
>> The Lakers could have gotten Klay Thompson
8:16
or James Harden or Jonas Valančiūnas in
8:18
that cycle.
8:19
>> Right.
8:19
>> So, that would be the precedent
8:20
that he would be not looking for every single dollar to make this team
8:23
competitive.
8:24
>> The Lakers have been operating on parallel paths.
8:26
One is their checklist of Austin Reaves, LeBron James, Rui Hachimura.
8:29
The other is seeing the trade market
8:31
and seeing can we go absorb a player
8:33
and bring him into our salary cap space.
8:35
But, there was a check-in call made, to my understanding,
8:38
early in free agency once uh teams were able to start negotiating with their
8:42
own free agents after the NBA Finals.
8:44
Since then though, there hasn't been much communication, from my understanding,
8:47
>> Yeah. >> between the Lakers
8:48
and LeBron James' side >> Right. >>
8:49
and and certainly not an offer yet.
8:51
So, they're trying to see what can we do with this $50 million of
8:54
space potentially and then where does
8:57
that leave LeBron?
8:58
>> Well, that lack of communication makes sense.
8:59
He was on an epic vacation with the Timberwolves.
9:01
By the way, >> That's LeBron's job, actually.
9:03
>> The reporters that covered the 2016 Cavs weren't weren't weren't invited to that?
9:07
>> I'll do the 20-year anniversary.
9:10
>> >> When you look at the odds to win the West though, the Minnesota Timberwolves,
9:12
they've jumped up there.
9:14
But, the Thunder, the Spurs,
9:15
it still feels like there's a certainly a gap there between those two teams
9:19
and then the >>
9:20
and the Lakers got some work to do on the phones.
9:22
>> Get on them phones.
9:24
>> Well, but it's Minnesota that's sitting squarely in the middle of that conversation.
9:28
>> Minnesota's made its move now.
9:30
Minnesota's made its move now.
9:31
>> What about those other teams that are there?
9:33
What about the Lakers?
9:33
What about the Nuggets?
9:34
>> Well, And made its move.
9:36
This is the move, Bobby.
9:37
Because >> Houston's got a point guard.
9:39
>> They don't have that many assets left to play with here.
9:42
>> No, this is it.
9:43
They basically threw the dice and let's see what happens.
9:46
>> Threw dice, threw chips, laid it all on the middle of the table.
9:50
>> Hey, hey, Angelica, we hope you have a great time in London.
9:53
>> Oh, thank you.
9:53
I appreciate that.
9:55
>> Is it for first Wimbledon?
9:56
She's hosting it?
9:57
>> >> There she goes.
9:59
I have to Brian,
10:00
in order to >> that plane's going to make >> Tennis people must know >> Let's go,
10:02
Liz.
10:03
>> Brian >> Try to get a better plane.
10:05
>> >> I will be escorted out if I say Wimbledon.
10:08
I'll see you later.
