  • they traded Al Horford and a deal that centered around Danny Green.

  • Then, during the draft, they sent Josh Richardson and the 36th pick to Dallas for sharpshooter Seth Curry.

  • Set.

  • By the way, the son in law of Sixers head coach Doc Rivers married to Callie Rivers.

  • So cheers to family reunions there.

  • Now, Fiz.

  • What do you think of these moves?

  • And do you think they're setting themselves up for something even bigger?

  • I do.

  • I think I really like the moves they made.

  • I think that they're making the main thing the main thing to still want expose lines.

  • And they're trying to create space for those two guys.

  • And Seth Curry is one of the best shooters in the NBA.

  • Hands down there is no other way around it.

  • I think getting Al Horford toe another team and taking two bigs off the court for Ben Simmons is really gonna open up the floor for him.

  • Uh, you know, because I think you could see it when Ben Simmons was playing just with Al Horford or just within beat.

  • He looked great, but it was tough on him when he had both guys out there on the floor with him.

  • So they're really opening up the court right now and really trying to make this guy's talent shine.

  • And I think Seth can play next to him easily because he can take bigger matchups.

  • Seth can take smaller guys, but I think more is really coming in there with a plan to open up the floor and get that three ball going.

  • So those guys have a lot of space to operate.

  • I agree.

  • And the number one thing that they did that their arm or in helping Brand did yesterday, because I believe not only did they win in the draft, but they won the whole entire day.

  • Yesterday, even with trades, is that they saved a lot of money.

  • So now they could go.

  • I didn't get some free agents, but I'm with you.

  • Adding the Danny Green and a self curry opened up the court and it provides space and especially for Ben Simmons to goto work and be ableto have those driving gaps.

  • And then also you still you still tyreese Maxie at number 21.

  • I got that I thought was gonna go in the top 10 on, and he slipped all the way.

  • Thio, toe number 21 you're able to grab him.

  • And you got Doc Rivers over there that Zatz fired up about coaching this team and a new Joe L and B.

  • If Jo Ellen B is in shape, he could possibly be the M V P next year or in the top for the runners.

  • I'm telling you, Doctor is gonna have that effect on them.

  • Like like he did with DeAndre Jordan.

  • I totally agree.

  • Perk.

  • But I think the best part, this whole thing is dot gets to be a grandpa with his with his little grand baby right next door.

  • So I think that's the coolest thing that he gets to be with his family.

  • That is excellent.

  • And look, as you guys said, this gets you off of Horford's money.

  • So I don't know where they are in James Harden trade talks or anyone else, but it does give them more flexibility to just be a few moves away from a big salary player.

  • But even in itself, even if this is not setting up anything in the future love Seth Curry opening space for those guys love Danny Green with his championship experience.

  • Love Tyreese, Maxie, I'm with you!

  • Perk.

  • This was a steal.

  • I don't know how he fell that far, but also I'm super impressed yet again with the other side of that first deal.

  • Sam Presti, who knew that he could take that Al Horford contract because of some of the other contracts he's already given up.

  • They don't have that Chris Paul book on the books anymore, and he picked up another draft pick.

  • Guys, Pretty soon the MBA draft is going to be just Sam Presti and he's gonna have all 30 picks and he's just gonna decide, what order should I draft everyone in and he could just go up.

  • I think he's like a three.

  • I'll pick him it a five I'll pick.

  • I think that's the future.

  • We're gonna see that with Sam.

  • It's just been incredible, all right, I do want to shift our attention to the draft.

  • We just had great job by the MBA.

  • Fantastic work by our colleagues in Bristol.

  • I was so impressed.

  • I hope this is the only virtual draft, but it was a cool one.

  • Perk, which franchise impressed you most last night with their selections.

  • The New York Knicks, the new the New York Knicks getting a chance to get Obie topping at number eight.

  • Look, I love it.

  • The Knicks finally did something right.

  • They have been messing up beside signing Coach Fields there.

  • Besides that, they finally did something right by drafting Obi Topping.

  • Right to this kid is full of excitement.

  • He's electrifying.

  • He's gonna sell ticket.

  • He tickets.

  • He's must see TV.

  • He had 100 and seven dunks last year that led the cops.

  • That lead he led in college.

  • And by the way, look, he is 22 years old and he still got room to grow.

  • He reminds me a lot of Blake Griffin, so I think the Knicks won just by being able to draft them with the number eight pick.

  • I actually really agree with you.

  • Perk.

  • I think that the kid is electric.

  • He's Ah, hometown kid.

  • He's a New York city, uh, talent.

  • Andi.

  • I just think that he is gonna He's gonna be a guy, is they continue to build this team around him, and I know they got a lot of criticism for not taking a guard in the draft.

  • But I really think this team is more built for a veteran guard to come in and help them kind of mold the whole thing.

  • I don't think a young guard is the guy that's gonna come in and get this team to the next level.

  • So this kid coming in already having a fan base already having people that understand what he brings to the table, I think is a great pick for the Knicks, and I'm really happy to see that they added him to the roster.

  • That's right.

  • It was really sweet.

  • He was so emotional when he was picked talking about playing for his hometown.

  • This Is there anyone else you think did a great job last night?

  • Well, you know, obviously I look at it this way like I wish Clay Thompson didn't go down because you add Wiseman to that group, and all of a sudden, now you're like, Wait a minute.

  • This is electric, you know?

  • And so, you know, going into before we knew Clay was going down, I was gonna say, This kid here is just the steel for them because you got to Hall of Famers sitting over there, possibly three of Draymond defense is recognized and you're adding a top player to that roster.

  • Uh, if they still had Clay, that could be just a special group.

  • Yeah, right.

  • Well coached is all.

  • All top all top three picks went to the right team.

  • You went the Minnesota.

  • They took the right.

  • They made the right choice by getting Anthony Edwards.

  • You know, Golden State, get James Wiseman and then you have the Charlotte Bobcats getting Lemelle.

  • Oh, ball.

  • But look, Rachel, one of my sleepers that I told you about Charlotte Hornets.

  • Excuse me, Rachel.

  • One of my sleepers that I told you about Danny, Danny.

  • Age when got him Peyton Pritchard.

  • That point guard went first round.

  • He was projected.

  • It was asleep I told you about.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

they traded Al Horford and a deal that centered around Danny Green.
