I Took Over A NBA Expansion Team For 10 Years

and we return today, we will take over an

expansion

team

for 10 seasons. I always like to get into the league realignment stuff and find out what the hell they're thinking and I'm not really going to complain even though it's lopsided and all we should are we're changing divisions for some

team

s I'm not mad about it come on let it fly now the question is do I want to be part of the generals or Las Vegas Venom I feel like every time we do something

expansion

related we end up being Las Vegas or Seattle, so instead I'll take Jersey, man, I'll take something, I'll take New Jersey, we have another team in that general area and we're going to be the best of them, so here's the draft lottery, the moment the Trailblazers end up winning it, we end up with the sixth overall pick, the only thing that What I can do to start is prepare ourselves by hiring a good coach, the unfortunate part is that there isn't one.

There are many good trainers available. I can say, hey, we're kicking off our expansive team by bringing in the best coach in 2K history, Michael Staford, to be it and you know, we're going to save some money while we do it. We will give you 9 million a year. Our assistant coach will be Peter Randolph. What do I know about Peter Randolph? Nothing. Actually, his stats don't look that good, but I'm not convinced any of this matters in the grand scheme. 2K everything that happened after that I don't care, I actually didn't even check if we really hired him?

The answer is no, we have Kevin Oli, we didn't get any of the coaches, that's disappointing because I had a guy, I can't even sack him to bring in Staford, so that's what's fine, let's see which players are protected, Usually when you do an expansion draft, it's the top eight players, right, or eight players. up to 12, so basically we're going to look at the worst people potentially being protected and our job is to select the worst team to start with, basically that's what this video starts with the worst expansion team and turning them into whatever. in 10e Span, the first overall pick in the expansion draft is Jaylen Jaylen Duran is not protected in an expansion draft, that's ridiculous, who else is it?

Yes, he is the best player available. I mean, everyone, Paul is here, but that's the best possible way to start your franchise if you're in Vegas, but again I have to go with the worst players, so I also want to get people that are under contract, so Maxwell Lewis, welcome to the team and thank you very much, and welcome. to the team, then Pat, honey, and then I think I saw Jared Springer, uh, Jaden Springer, yeah, Jaden Springer, welcome to the team. Javon Freedom Liberty one- your deal, but welcome to the team Dean Wade it's like he's okay, I'll take Dean Wade Dean.

Wade is nice, I mean, maybe the 2K John Contra game will thank Illinois. In fact, we have some players here. Zeke Naji just signed an extension in real life, so we're starting with people who are under contract for multiple

years

and us. We'll end up with EJ Liddell, no, we won't end up with EJ Liddell, instead we'll end up with Orlando Robinson, no, sorry, we won't and now we'll end up with uh, uh. let's go B man let's go B Chicago Legend oh my god how many picks do we have? Josh, bro, why do we have so many picks?

Okay, that's it, that's the end, that's finally it. the longest expansion draft in history so Frankie turn is the first overall pick 1610 small for that guy he's going to be awesome he's 19 and he only has one bad but 161 four small everyone knows the recipe if it's a tall player for his position. He will likely be a second overall pick in this year's draft. Tyson Henry is a 61 point guard. Then we have Alexander Adrian. I thought we had an exchange, but no, so we have this guy whose name I refused to try to pronounce because I. I'm just going to slaughter him, oh my god, Las Vegas already traded their pick, they're going all in on year number one and they're trading it to Malcolm Brog for a 16th overall pick, okay, they basically traded down and got a good player in return, yes, they are really trying to do it now because we are an expansion team, we have nothing, nothing explored, we don't know what the floors are, we don't know the ceilings, I don't think you can go. wrong by going and getting a center in his first year or because we don't know anything, maybe we change this position completely, maybe we just do exactly what Las Vegas just did, see if we can get 6th overall. pick plus John Kar Kobe White doesn't progress very well in the game, but having Kobe White would be fun. be better than Desmond Bane, right?

You know what I'm saying now obviously we make a video like this it's not in the world of realism so Desmond Bane welcome to the team wow we just did a Desmond Bane trade in the first one basically the the first month of our team's existence and then our second round pick, uh, let's find a 20-year-old kid or someone like that, boom, Sean Windgate, yeah, welcome to the team, it's going to be bad, it's going to be very bad, but we change it. For this position they drafted a shooting guard and then this guy ends up being really good later in the Swedish draft, he can shoot or score a little bit.

We have Desmond Bang, so I'm not tripping over that. We have Desmond Bang now next year. Next year we're going to draft, you know what I'm saying, because we'll actually be able to, um, we'll actually be able to explore, but Desmond Bane walks in and looks at his team, it's like this is the Boys' group, the answer is yes. , we're going to go to DRA or free agency and sign a guard. I'm going to try to sign Marquel Folz to start. I think he's doing pretty well. He has had a very interesting evolution. 2K life went from shooting guard to point guard and now he is a small four.

I think we had an amazing AGC period free Marquel F Simone F Teo and Delon Wright now Delan Wright is going to lose an overall spot but we just need an extra point guard on the team and Desmond Banee even lost a little bit overall uh that's Well, this first year we are going to be horrible. Desmond Bane might win us some games, you know, but we don't consider year number one one to really care about you. I know we're basically praying, oh we have too many people, we're basically praying, um, that this draft class stays on and we win the lottery, basically, that's how I look at it, I'm sorry, you have to go and we have to throw one. one more player, uh, one more player has to go, it has to be Team B, sorry, sorry, you know your bull and everything, we got love for you and everything, but we have to do it, we have to do it right, so With the starting lineup I'm going to make sure Simone F Teo starts by making him a small forward.

I knew his overall was going to improve, that's why I hired him, so it's Marquel F desm bang Simone Fon Teo, we have Dean Wade and Zeke Naji off the bench. Delon Wright Jayden Springer Orlando Robinson Pat hitan and we should get another wing there so let's look for an N9 man rotation to get Kobe Brown or I mean I said wing I'm at uh Ford so the first game in the history of our franchise is just an f. a five point loss I think that's a win personally wait wait so with the first overall pick in the expansion draft you go s o draft Jaylen Durren only to let him go in free agency what kind of logic the other way around is that your team is Malcolm brog and tyus?

Jones ball Paul Jordan Clarkson so they draft him first overall just to let him walk, that's a nasty job by their GM, their fans are already mad that Jaylen dur, oh, the first win in our franchise history, Jaylen Duran is really like that. so we went against Wian Company and Desmond Bane, please average 25, you know, let us sell a bunch of Desmond Bane t-shirts and promise our fan base that we will eventually get him some help. Saman de Teo's shirts are probably flattened and Marquel. fol jerseys ah you know you win another MVP we get Frey Turner to win a rookie of the year Jaylen dur with six man of the year he's playing for OKC right now so I mean yeah he's going to do it hey the most improved player, baby the desert Bane Jersey are flying off the shelves 45% three point shooter almost and look at it 27 um the team was the decisive player of the year the team was better than I anticipated it wasn't good it wasn't good it was just better than I anticipated they ended up winning 29 games, which again for an expansive team, 29 games to start.

The race is pretty good, it's not even the worst team in the league, but Bo, the worst team in the league is Vegas, look at Vegas, they did it. a trade and for malcol brog back then and he averaged 11, you traded a fifth overall pick to Portland, could have come out on top, let me see the guy they traded, the Portland tra Blazers got um, they picked the no, they had the first one. overall pick and then they drafted this guy with the pick they got in Malcolm Brogon's trait, he had a per 36, he had a really solid rookie season, he didn't get a lot of points on this team, uh, the team didn't really see too much.

It's bad that they don't like a playoff team, although oh it is, it's the fifth seat, oh, oh, oh, look at the guys, look at the guys that are turning their career or their season around, um Luca versus Donovan Mitchell, the HC who made the New York Knicks. all the way to the Conference Finals in your Donovan men, a company won that first championship, okay, League meetings, we're not going to approve anything right now, we want to win that Lottery now, aren't we going to have an incredible opportunity, TRUE? We're sitting on fourth down. Venom is up in one.

We can jump. Can't we fall? I just need someone to come by. Don't actually do this, but there has to be some kind of number. What is the number? probability that I fall in these drafts because I swear, I'm jumping more than I'm jumping. I'm falling more than I'm keeping up. Cory vinon is the first overall pick. um, this draft class wasn't too ridiculous anyway, Travis. Benjamin is the second overall pick, then we have Lesli Taylor, the Bulls select Mitch Hunt, 7 Foot Center from Temple, then Andre Taylor is the fifth and now it's up to me, um H, now I can take this power forward who It has a great range and could be.

Dennis Rodman or he was Carl Landry and Carl Landry was a useful NBA player for some time. I'll say that, but obviously he wasn't. Dennis ran, the rebounding numbers support that he could be the top of all defensive numbers. don't say he could be Dennis Roby one day the rebounder numbers don't even say he could be Dennis Roby one day so I'm going to say no to that uh let's see who you are who you are this guy has a hall of fame saddle or a Cedric sabalos um he's a 68 uh small forward but he can't SC like where are we going to get to the Hall of Fame ceiling if you start and you can't score you know what I mean and you're already 21

years

old this one 18 year old has Elton's ceiling, scores another Carl Andrew floor, they just don't like Carl Andrew, but your playmaker is a D less.

I don't care what position you're in, you can't be a D-minus playmaker. on my team this guy has a D minus perimeter defense like two guards what is this draft? You could just take the best player available and get this guy who has a bam ceiling, Eugene Callaway, he can rebound, he can defend, he actually can. He shoots a little, but he's 22 years old. I don't think he'll get to Bam if he's 22. This guy's only 21, so that one year difference may matter. What is your song? Nate Thurman and Luke Longley, uh, can block some shots. a mid-range jump shot here or there.

I don't like this kind of draft at all. Oh man, I don't want to keep going out of the draft, but if we don't have anyone here that we really like, then we might as well just have to do it or if it's not a trade now, it's a trade down or something because some of these guys they could be here later in the draft. This guy is Bradley Beal. Ceiling, um, can, can shoot, can you defend a little below average? Defender, but he can. shoot and I like people who can shoot the ball now that we have Desmond Bane, you know what I'm dealing with.

I'm going to try to change it right now, we need talent, you know what I'm saying. I also want to trade Zek because I assume one of those centers will be out later in the draft, so I could say Kobe White will still show up. Paul George is in this exchange because he's just old, you know? I'm not making that trade, can I go down to the Lakers' 10th overall pick? Say, hey, here's the sixth overall pick, you give me back too, you give me Ruri Haimura's final year and then we give you back Dean. Wade boom they want our they want two first round picks they'll give me gay Vincent well taking on gay Vince's contract isn't exactly what you think he is um ra palinka.

I'll be honest with you, so maybe we can't. got ruri haimura last year, instead let's go talk torecover soon, he is going through some health problems, that is why he is not in the league, but we are going to take minutes away from him for now, the seventh game. Detroit, let's see if we can make it, come on, generals, come on, generals, the first quarter is the second quarter, oh, wait, wait, it goes back and forth, back and forth. Do we have a moment? No, no, we don't lead Sixpoint, it's over first. The birth of the playoffs in franchise history is a loss to K Cunningham who dropped 40 and I'm not mad about that, it was a 4-5 matchup, it could have gone either way, I'm and Thompson vs.

Darius Garland and Aman Thompson and ALR Shenon and whoever is left. that team ends up winning the championship big in the off-season, I think we have to make some more moves and as I mentioned before, it could be the end of Trey Murphy, the third on our team, the Celtics, the Venom stay in the lottery, they have not done it. done anything to improve themselves so I feel good if we compare ourselves to them we feel very good what team is selling please tell me there is someone selling anyone okay there is a sales team is the Venom they have , Jayen Green, we don't need it. jayen green we have Desmond Bane so no one else is selling in the association okay what about the rebuild?

There's nothing here Jayen Brunson doesn't fit our needs Anthony Davis is 34 doesn't fit the needs Mel Bridges is 30 I would like On the team, but he's about to regress. We have Scotty Barnes there. There are two years left on this agreement. I don't think we have enough to hire him. I'll add him to the list but I doubt we got the assets for PA to end up in Washington, okay Washington you guys didn't move up, I even want to say you made the playoffs this year. Kozman is still there, Jayen Suggs, is everything there? Well, so they stick together, they have a good team here and then the guys from the eighth overall pick look pretty solid as well.

I just don't see what we could do. Keegan Murray is a free agent, so even though they are, they are rebuilding. I can't trade for him, maybe we have to move on to next season with what we have, although I would love to improve and especially since it's the last year of his contract, we may have to do it at the deadline, maybe the deadline do it. It makes the most sense, so that's probably what we'll have to do. None of these drafts have produced a superstar. You know, at least outside of the draft. You know, sometimes someone comes in at 84.

We don't have those generational challenges, but it's the NBA. The drafts have been pretty bad, so I don't feel bad about changing my picks every year and we don't have money to spend, but we could get a backup power forward, unless we say Zach Collins is that, it doesn't matter. we're going to get a backup power and a backup guard and that's going to be our offseason, not the best Zack LaVine what's your average Zack what's your average last year 18 you can't shoot anymore what happened to the jump shot Zach oh that sucks that won't stop me from hiring you even though you know it's a one year deal with a little option so oh G G oh my god go find G Jackson what the hell where is G?

Where is G? Forget all that, we're not going to let G Jackson Go, he wants 28 million and refuses to come back. GG, bro, you just had a great year for us and that's what you got. Wow, that's very sad. He doesn't want to go back. I don't know what I did to win. him crazy, I don't know what I did to make him mad, but now we have to pivot a little bit in our franchise because he was actually a big part of this, this guy can't shoot so I'm not thinking. About you, well, he can shoot a little, he just hasn't shot very well, we're in shape.

Jonathan Isaac can run some minutes but the man losing GG hurts my soul because that man can play and like I thought I put him in a good position personally he just wasn't very good with us and sometimes that's how they are , you know, you can't get too angry, you can get sad, although you can definitely get sad. I wish him nothing but the best until he plays against us, I could go I just want to check with the teams, I don't even want to sign you, you already made it clear, I just want to see what offers the teams gave you, brother, look, 14 million , I'd give you your 425 right now, but no, you wanna do that, you wanna do that, okay, okay, we remember, I bet, oh, I bet we'll see each other eventually, oh boy, I feel like I'm running this team very bad, I think Ya should be in contention for the championship, but we are going into year four and we are not there.

I don't think we'll be close, especially if GG isn't there, so we have to continue the way we played this offseason. I mean, not this offseason, the way we played in this regular season, we have to be decent in this regular season and then we have to buy, that's where my head is at. I made the decision to leave Zion Williamson out on a selling team. um, he's still 27 years old, he's in the last year of his contract, so this is a huge gamble and I hope that makes it easier to trade him because of that.

All I really give them is like Trey Murphy and a $10 million salary that could be Zack. LaVine I don't know what you're doing for us this year Zack the answer is nothing and then we give them back we don't have many assets um our own first round pick at 28 and 30 he's in the last year of his deal let's offer him they say no um we'll give them H we'll give them we'll give them fun Teo too even though it's not valuable to them at all you give us back Cameron pay no damn how do we get there how do we get there how do we get there how do we get there?

I'll probably have to give up. I mean, Christian Colo is more valuable. Not well. Three first round picks. Just call it whatever you want. Alright. Alright. I'm sad, I'm sad, I'm very sad. If I do a reverse trade finder, are they going to ask for Desmond Bane because we can't do that? If that's the case, they don't want anything we have, damn man, how do we build ourselves in this place so that we basically have nothing? To trade, I've done a poor job building this Francis. Shall I bring Francis into this deal? Francis has progressed um I just saw Carrie Irving that's interesting uh Francis is no longer progressing so he might be valuable to them because they don't know he's done progressing.

Yeah, I could try that trade again, but throw them at Francis and say, "Hey, here's a 25-year-old center, a 24-year-old center who has proven to be almost a double-double machine, he's only two-star value with them, not them." They even have another center, they just aren't really interested. We also give you Zack LaVine again. They have to give us back. Players, let's try this again. Cameron Payne. They say no. So we give them this first-round pick for this year. We give them the first round pick for next year and we give them the first round pick that's why they still say no, the Zion Williamson trade is dead, um, yeah, because I don't know how we got there, we have nothing but give them, I want that. trade there, you tell me the pale ones are selling and Zion is there.

I thought it would be easier to trade him given the fact that he's also in the last year of his deal, you know what I'm saying, but the answer is no. we could have a trade like this where we go for Jared Allen and then make another trade to get rid of Francis. I'll do it Jared at 36 and he's 29 um H he's just a 12 average I just need something to change it man we're just not feeling we're just not a championship team let's do it right let's do it next Francis we appreciate your time, we're going to waste it. and Zack LaVine together and let's use Zack LaVine and maybe another player, let's go to free agency, let's send Bradley to free agency, uh, 4 million, he doesn't want everyone to be too drunk, just a hoop.

Man 4 Millions is more than what you do in the crib Oscar Sims will take 1 million. Look, Oscar Sim is real, so we do this and this, yeah, because we're not going to give up both anyway and then we'll choose, oh, we don't have room to choose, but. those three there is an anobi, he is 30. The lady is here, he is 37, uh, he can't shoot to save his life. No, I don't like that the problem is that no one sells, that's the real problem with all this, no one sells other than the Pelicans. So that's usually the time when we look at some teams and think okay, they're selling, let's see they don't have, nobody has anything to sell and that's why I don't have a single trade worth making in this whole man. col yic could be someone, he is shooting almost 40% from three, but he is in a position of need, we have Gabe Nelson, who we saw earlier in the video, he can't shoot either.

I'm lost right now. I've lost my mojo on the rebuilding stuff for him, I can pull this off and get Isauro, who, oh my god, never mind, isn't doing anything of value. I'm trading him for a first-round pick that's protected by the Indie Lottery. We got Miles Turner back. I don't need Miles Turner, um, but I just need him to do something. You know, sometimes as a GM, you just have to make a trade and never look back. I'm going to try to change it because that election is for this year. draft I I've explored this year's draft it's not very good the ogan noi I think he's showing up he just can't even average 10 anymore there we go there we go Chicago baby Keegan Murray welcome to the team I knew they had To be something, I knew there had to be something worth doing and we found it.

How do we play with this lineup now? Although that's the question, the next question, part of me wanted to move it to the three of us, but that puts us in a complicated situation. world where John Isaac is starting for us and no thanks if I put it on if I keep it on the four fonio it can stay starting you know what I don't mind starting phono I know it's crazy because we're in 2020 something something I don't mind starting right now so you can play that position um for the moment we're a championship team probably don't I mean eventually eventually we'll have our guy back um uh lamelo back we have a lot of center minutes we don't need b-ball Paul.

I'll throw b-ball Paul to a wing, one by one and make it look like it's a pseudo three-team trade because we don't need b-ball Paul, that too. a lot of center minutes just go find a small forward, Josh Green, same thing in general, get us a wing that can only play minutes. Josh Green is just going to be in a rotation and Lamelo is going to come back eventually, so this point guard Oscar Sims, who we signed just to get an extra player, is actually in a rotation, Oscar Sims is coming to the league, he's played, wait, he's played this in this career, but he hasn't played yet in his career, he just got a real contract, let's see his first game as NBA player Oscar Sims and lamelo's back lamelo you have to wait a day I want to see Oscar Sims play a game of the NBA we're going to win that game we'll do it oh Jared Allly got hurt that's funny Oscar Sims in his first game of his NBA career six assists 0 of four on the field congratulations for saying you played in the NBA they want lamelo out of the Well you know what I've seen enough, I've seen enough, is it Kevin Oly?

I've seen enough, my boy. I've seen enough. I've seen enough. No way, no way, no way, no way, no way. Lamelo Ball is on the team and you suggest to the general manager of this team that Lamelo Ball should come off the bench. You're fired, kid. you're fired, you're a fool, that's all, your time is up, lamelo, you said it too, okay, everyone is taking crazy pills or something, because lamelo ball is a 90 player in general, there is no world where it should come from. bench for this guy, there is no world, everyone is losing their mind in this universe and also, yes, Jared Ali got injured in his first game on the team, so we are 10 games away, we could be better and we should be better .

Shay is the MVP all the awards are here. I don't care about this man. I don't care about any of this. We need to compete. You know, the fanbase has been around for a while. um lick it, hey, lick it, everyone and you. Dude, the coaches wanted you to come off the bench, lamelo, I just want you to know that your coaches wanted you to come off the bench, we're the two seed, so, the 50-win season gives us two seeds. The 51-win season, bring us. a two-seeded TI with the Orlando Magic but tip-breaker, whatever it is, the Boston Cels are still on top, but not by much, man, we could win this, we could win this conference, I don't know what's going on in the west, we can win this conference. they've got giddy Josh Scotty Barnes they've got negative space U uh they've got negative space our lineup looks pretty good by the way I think we've got a chance game one win game two win game three win game four oh oh oh and we were doing that without Francis yeah , we were Francis is back in the lineup baby and we feel good about it, okay, game four, okay, we got out of the first round to go against theOrlando game again, in Atina we tied with, as far as the record goes, they got Derek Lively.

They got Shayon Sharp and then Auto spawned Henry Ball Walt Jones and then they got Kobe Brown from the clips. How did they end up with the same record as us? That team looks horrible. They barely made it out of the first round. so, uh, in the first game we won, everyone must have some people off the bench, right? 78 79 79 here for Gafford, no, congratulations on being good, I guess, because all of you, the team that's scoring, are an Eastern defensive team, oh this. Walt Feller can score 18 points a game, he's 5'9 yeah sure, yeah sure you're bad, but yeah sure game two is a win.

Josh Green gets injured day by day, he can overcome that and we get to the Conference Finals. against an eight-seat Bucks team, oh it's Giannis, he's still good, so Marel is on his team, eh, we traded Marquel or he just ended up there. Marquel RJ cam Giannis is still at 97 we don't have a stopper and on this team at all um but they're the AFC bro they shouldn't even be here they shouldn't be here bro first game is a win come on guys , lick it, show them why you shouldn't come off the bench, uh, Maxwell Le, you shouldn't.

I've even been playing, I don't even know how you get injured 30 and 30 for Des Bane, who has been very discreet but in the playoffs he has not achieved 26 points per game in the playoffs so far, third game, we win, fourth game, we lose, but game. five we won, we're in the NBA Finals for the first time on video, honey, it

took

some time, we're going against um, no, they lost, but he got the record for Finals MVP or whatever, Finals MVP Conference, okay, it's that guy. in the point guard position I am in Thompson cam Whitmore Jabari and shinon we are tied in the center we have the advantage in the power forward they got small forward they got shooting guard but we got point guard so three to two until the beginning the lineups go, no I know what their benches look like, um, but I hope it's not too good now that they came in as 3C, they've been through two game sevens, so they're tired, you know, they're a little tired, they got an 85 coming off the bench 85 Center coming off. off the bench, they got T een off the bench yet um, they have CLI aella coming off the bench for whatever reason and E Bay coming off the bench too, so I actually have a really good, well-rounded team, maybe too many center minutes, but sometimes it's necessary because 2K is stupid and center is the most important position in the league.

Up to one, they want to remove Josh Green from this lineup entirely. I'm not against it because he can't shoot, they want to give it to Techo who can shoot at least a little better. H desm Bane is too short at 6'5 because he was thinking about starting, you know, let's do it, let's start. lick him at two because he's tall, you know what I'm saying, he's tall Bane at three and then we have our guy Tyson in which he didn't help at all Series 3-1 first of all, this guy sucks, he shot, Yeah. he was bad um 31 series simcast simcast we got him we got a CH Cod it we got to CH Cod it baby please please please please just win big for the good guys and it looks like we're going to win this game we will do it okay I give too many points, I like him with 122, but a win is a win, lick it, thank you very much Des Bane, thank you very much Henry, thanks for the 12 assists, okay, two more games, like that sprain, right MCL, he will be out for the year that changes. our Dynamic completely um we have to go back to an eight man rotation now okay we just have to run with it we have to run with it here's a game we need it no no Jared Allen is going to suck but that first quarter was big, but then he did it We gave it all back, come on, come on, this is what we're here for.

It's a one-point game with a minute and a half left. I will jump. I will jump. We can see our court. For the first time, this is the first high pressure situation we've had. The full video. I've been filming for an hour and a half. The first time we had a high pressure situation, so again I've been doing a bad job. and creating these teams lamelo is a baby lamelo is a baby lamelo that is a bad shot although down by one the courtier looks somewhat clean what is it that the Nationwide Arena looks very clean? shout out to the generals we have to stop, although we need To stop the man, not having Jared Allen sucks, a final appearance in an AO would make me very sad.

I'm in and Thompson gets fouled. I mean these guys have been playing Big Time minutes in several games in a week, so lick it, I need you to really be you because you don't. You are one of the few people who is tired right now and you turn around a terrible choice. and rolls to the pass man and then Aman Thompson makes it a four point game with less than a minute left, this could be ladies and gentlemen, we could be looking at an AO, look how small the guy is guarding them and the is holding, lick it.

You might get traded, bro, you better make the shot. You may get traded. he's 6'2 but i swear he looks like 5'4 oh boy what a series ha, the five point game is over, it's completely over, the good guys end up losing, um, unless they do something miraculous. It's a four-point foul game. he made his six point free throw game, um, and that will be when we get to the finals, but we had a lot of work, uh, Bane wasn't as good in the finals as he was in these other series, we have to do something .

Man, we're doing great, this is year number five. I'm pretty sure this is the end of year number five and he still won Finals MVP. Okay, Jerry West, go crazy. I'm pretty sure this is the end of year number five. Yeah, end of year number five, we're halfway through the challenge, we have no championships to show for it and that really bothers me because I thought we were doing some interesting things, apparently not now on the table, um, uh, starting from scratch. not start from scratch, but rebuild, you know, that's on the table right now. Honestly, I think it's like Bane is 30 years old and he had a really good run for us again, but maybe it's time to change it, you know what I am? saying just to see Tyrese Maxi out there and OG, the Pelicans are going to lose, move Zion and replace him with Jason Tatum, what a transaction, now same thing across the board and Zion is going to the Warriors.

He hoped to make a signature. and the exchange with Z, obviously, that's not going to happen anymore, so again we still have to figure it out because we're not ready. Des Bane's contract is huge. Luc is not untouchable. Well, other players again, there just aren't many and I know they aren't. I don't have the assets for it, but you have to try, you have to pick up the phone and call, and if they reject it, they reject it. You also have a no-trade clause. It would have to be Desmond Bane, it would have to be Francis.

It would have to be Keegan or Jared Allen, who is more replaceable. Jared Allen shot 44% from three and

took

25 attempts. I think Keegan is more replaceable, so Keegan and then the first-round pick, the first-round pick, the first-round pick, that's all we have. We don't give them everything, we can't give them everything now, yeah, we can't give them everything unless we give them everything and say, hey, here's Jared Allen too, which gives us $20 million in cap space to build the rest of the team. Lucas 29 Lamelo is 26, uh, we'll even give them Josh Green CU's back. I know everyone loves Luca, welcome to the team, okay, how do we play this now?

Because we have two 90+ players overall, which is great, right? trade lamelo and get a person in a different position, you know, do we consolidate a little bit here as a trade like this? It doesn't look so bad. By the way, I shouldn't give up a pick in this trade, but H hock is a real player and obviously bam is, but he's 31 so we'd be that again, we'd be getting a lot older, we can get Jared Allen and Keegan Murray back, this is basically going to be Lamelo Ball and Desmond Bane for Luca, that's what this trade is. it ends up being if I do this trade to get them back and I'm going to do it I will welcome back guys welcome back I hope you haven't sold your condos well so this makes me feel a lot better our wings are still there.

I don't have a single person in my wing and we don't have much money to do half of it. We got our mid-level exception so we can go out and be like a cute. Grimes, who can shoot sometimes but can't shoot other times, but at least can defend a little. I'm going to change it to Outr, Shon, sorry, Jared Allen. I think Jared Allen fits Luca a lot by having a balloon, but this is 2K. The fit doesn't matter as much as you think and that saves us about $3 million. Tech has to go. I have to change to F Roof.

He's been around for too long. He's already starting to back away. He has to choose two first-round picks. a roleplayer Sometimes I love this game, but I also hate it. Okay, that makes it a little easier to do some things. Quinn Grimes fits what we want to do. I'm going to offer you Quinn Grimes. a little deal here, let's hope he says yes. I don't know what we just did this offseason, but we needed something new and of course Lucas starts to regress the moment he gets on my team, of course Luca starts to regress the moment he ends. on my team, as long as we can get two championships from the Luca Donic era here in New Jersey, then it's worth it, all we need is two championships.

LCA, you can take us there. I wonder if Lamelo Ball is still going up, go figure. you're the same overall now I'd be so mad I'd be so mad lick it oh lick it actually fell he was a 91 so it's okay no big deal uh let's get our rotation back I mean isn't it beautiful man We'll probably have to switch Henry to Even though it's been so good for us, we just don't need it. This is no longer a necessary position. The backup point guard is not as important as it was a while ago because we have Luca.

Luca does everything, so we are going to transfer him and he is in the last year of his contract. I don't know if he's thinking about going back with Jersey so let's try to be proactive instead of reactive and make that deal and we still have all of our picks too, we also get extra picks from the Kings and the gun so maybe this is a deal what we hope for. This is a deal we look forward to. um and we could package all the things up and make it happen. Luca is going to be so good that we are going to be a very good regular season team regardless of the rest.

Keegan Murray gets injured in the first game of the season, so that's very promising, but we have Luca and Alper Shinon together and Alp was not there. Averaging any number, actually his shot, his Tennessee shot is higher than I expected, but I'm going to raise it even higher so we can be like Alp in real life and we can elevate Quinn Grimes a little bit because we're going to need him to shoot. at the deadline we're not going to accomplish anything too big, we're going to trade Aaron and Smith, um, and he'll be a crucial part of winning our first championship, he's having a good season coming off our bench, he looks good. and they were in a the Pacers were selling um what am I doing?

The Pacers were selling and we're right on the deadline, so boom, he comes in, plays well for us, now we have a legit top n eight that I really trust. Lucas had a phenomenal season, um 42% from three, we also got a good shot Quint Quinton Richardson Quinton Grime season uh Moody's is playing well Keegan if we lose you're out the door Shenon's career numbers basically uh and then we extended our guy Tyson, I thought he was going to be moved but he's having such a good year it would be dumb of me to move him so we ride baby, we ride he should win sixth man of the year if everything goes perfect because he's having a great year, luuka wins MVP beautiful, this is a start, it took us a long time to get here.

Lam Melo wins the key play of the year, so we thank our boy, Melo, we thank Melo for the only one we had for two years. I feel like I had it. him for well over two years, shout out to Melo um if everything goes perfectly then this should be the start of a dynasty run albr shenon the entire NBA 13 if everything goes perfectly um this should be the start of the run we were for the only seed Now we are 11 games ahead of our competition, the bad thing is that we have some injuries every day, although Tyson was injured just a few days ago and then Bball Paul played all the regular season games and in the last game he injured.

I talked about having a top eight that I really trust, well I don't anymore because one of those eight people was that guy, Paul, if we don't have other Center minutes to give out, so Shenon, you have to do your part. which you've been doing your whole NBA and then Luca you have to get about 40 a night um let's get out of this relatively easy first round we're going against the Detroit Pistons Tyson has come back beautiful so that actually saves us a lot because I needed it, so we'll give Luca his 40. Yeah, everything else looks good.

I don't even know who Cole Arnold is, buthe's a rotational player because Andre's year, so, we just have, we just have. a group of people, we have depth, we have everything you could really need, this is a 65-win team this year, their numbers aren't even really crazy, but we're way better than everyone else, so oh, I lose our coach, now he's great. You're so much better than everyone else that 20 point triple double averages are enough to make things happen um ooh Al Shenon not the entire NBA this year we went down we won 72 games no he didn't go down Murray could have the Ain man averaged 13 points only that we traded for him, but as long as he shoots almost 40% on three-pointers and we win championships, I don't really care about anything else, that's all.

What I'm saying, I don't really care. nothing else is fine so we can go this will be the fourth in a row and next year will be the fifth and then we can get out of here uh MOS Moody gets injured that's basically how some teams managed to beat us. We got hurt a lot and we actually got hurt a lot. What the hell is going on? We reached the final to face Wimy Company again. Can they get their game one? There is no game two. There is no game three. Well, we have a monopoly on the association that we get him. no, Anthony Davis's playing team is 39 years old, shout out to the announcement, uh, almost 10 years from now, all of you and we're doing our part.

Do we have a lottery election again? I made some changes, so I don't know if we have picks. or not, the answer is no, but we have back-to-back picks at the end of the draft, we picked Detroit for a reason, so we'll just draft a player and bring back the good ones and say we win 50% the last thing I need is to blow the last year. The 50% success rate makes me very happy. um, 69 wins. Alright, I think we ended up on a crazy winning streak. By the way, Alpr Shinon is now on the second team, so I'm happy.

What I'm saying is, I'm saying that you know, a nine-fight winning streak, so he wasn't that crazy. It was actually cool to see Chester Brewer come into the lineup and he really shot very, very well. This season we also had this guy who we drafted 16th last year, he progressed like crazy and ended up having a phenomenal season, so we have some people in the pipeline, we have this guy who we drafted this year, he didn't really play , but like you. I know the 25th overall pick after a morale boost, being close to 80 overall The club is pretty tight here we just sweep it, not literally sweep it, but we do it quickly and no one causes problems for USA or not It is necessary, we never need to stop. or maybe we just sweep it oh my god that was seven that was seven shout out to Quinton Grimes and game seven baby I knew I brought you back for a reason boy we're in the finals to go against who was this Jason Tatum.

Brandon Ingram Dyson Daniels like his big three we got it after three hours we got it baby no way no way no way are we serious who is Wilson Knox the second oh my god it wasn't Brandon Ingram wow wow wow wow 40 % success rate that's so demoralizing that's so demoralizing man I can't okay damn I'm fine thank you so much for watching. The 40% success rate makes me a little sadder than the 50%, that's all.
