  • speaking to someone who's playing M V P.

  • Caliber basketball right now.

  • That would be Bradley Beal guys.

  • He has been a man amongst boys.

  • He dropped 35 5 and four against Houston.

  • Bradley Beal leads the N B A and scoring.

  • Yet the Wizards have the worst record in the n b A, and many have wondered about the possibility of Washington trading him Max.

  • So if they were to deal Bill, what do you think would be the best situation for him?

  • The Bucks, Or at least that's the team.

  • I think that needs him the most to put them over the top.

  • I say this religiously on this show is Stephen A would say, Stephen A.

  • Your assessment of Yannis several years ago.

  • Hey, in the playoffs, he's gonna play like a big was right on the money.

  • That's exactly what happened.

  • Credit where it's due.

  • But what does that mean about Yanis?

  • It means we can't really judge him based on the way we judge the perimeter players, because the history of the NBA has always been in the modern era.

  • If you're a great big and you wanna win a championship, you better have a great non big Who's Justus?

  • Good as you, more or less is on that level in order to win a championship.

  • I mean, the couple times it happened, like Hakim did it because Jordan was out of the league.

  • So he was going up against Patrick Ewing with no help, right or shock, who had Penny but did not have Kobe or Wade.

  • You better have a dude who's like on your level, who is not a big who could go get his own shot.

  • Who can create all of that?

  • Corinne had Oscar and Magic 16 chips, 10 without them shock.

  • I just said Penny one.

  • Even enough had weighed.

  • And Kobe, of course.

  • Four chips, None without them.

  • Ah, great Big needs a great another great player, if especially a perimeter player who's great drew holidays.

  • Excellent.

  • I like Drew Holiday a lot.

  • Stephen A.

  • That's not him.

  • Drew.

  • Holiday Look had a d a.

  • D had drew.

  • Holiday didn't do anything.

  • Drew.

  • Holiday is a fantastic player.

  • He's not what I'm talking about, and so is Middleton.

  • And he's not what I'm talking about.

  • Bradley Beal, I think, qualifies, particularly when you see what he could do this season when the handcuffs air off when he's getting a lot of touches.

  • Bradley Beal.

  • If he's not, it is the next thing to it is what the Bucks need to put them over the top.

  • And I think that's the team that should be most interested in him.

  • I don't mind that.

  • Pick it all Max Kellerman.

  • But before I give you mine, let me say a couple of things.

  • Y'all, for the purposes off, just my MBA connections with in this show.

  • Bradley Bill is a star.

  • He deserves better than what he's getting in the nation's capital.

  • Um, I like Scott Brooks.

  • I'm very, very font of Tommy Sheppard, who's now, uh, the GM, and he's running basketball operations for them.

  • I like Tommy.

  • I wish him nothing but the best.

  • Uh, he's a good dude, and he knows basketball.

  • He was in our business, you know, in terms of media, media relations and communications and all that stuff in Denver years ago.

  • But he's a great, great guy, and I'm happy for him, and I wish him nothing but the best.

  • But the Washington Wizards, at this particular moment in time, are atrocious.

  • They are horrible, and it's primarily because of their defense.

  • Last year they gave up 119 points per game, if I remember correctly, and I think they were ranked like second toe last this year, there second the last.

  • But they're giving up 120 points.

  • Bradley Bill was quoted a week over a week ago Max saying, We can't stop a parked car.

  • We can't guard a parked car.

  • That's how bad he described their defense.

  • Okay?

  • And if you saw him and Molly, it's one of those things and you reading body language is adroitly is.

  • You can do it.

  • Just go back and watch the video of Bradley built on the bench, just shaking his head in his hands of fidgety and all of that stuff.

  • That is the sign of someone Max and Mollie who's about to lose it.

  • They can't take it anymore, Okay, that's where he's at.

  • Tommy Sheppard.

  • Scott Brooks.

  • You got to get Bradley Beal up out of here.

  • He's a tremendous asset, but you got to get him up out of there.

  • And Russell Westbrook.

  • I just feel sorry for him because even though you're averaging 18 and 10.

  • You're shooting like 37% from the field, 30% from three point range.

  • Love Russell Westbrook, the offensive juggernaut that he could be.

  • But damn, you got to go out there and get a better perimeter shot, and he just hasn't had that all of these years.

  • With all of that being said, Even though I don't disagree with you about the Bucks, Max, I tell you, if there's any way the Clippers could get themselves Bradley Bill to appeal with Paul, George and Kawhi Leonard, you do it because I think that's their chance of coming out of the West.

  • You understand before when we think about Yanis, why are we thinking about what pieces he needs?

  • Because we talk about winning the chip, right?

  • Well, how could the Clippers possibly position themselves to win the chip by getting somebody like Bradley Bill with Paul George with a koala ended Lord have mercy.

  • That could potentially be special, because I'm here to tell you I don't know what the hell is going on with the Clippers.

  • They've been winning games, but they've been winning games with Ty Lue basically not playing Lou Williams that much.

  • I can't believe what I'm saying.

  • I mean sweet.

  • I mean, lemon pepper, Lou, Sweet Lou.

  • I mean, I expect the brother that I mean, this brother can drop buckets with the best of them.

  • I expected to.

  • Seymour, something's going on there.

  • I never liked the Luke Kennard pick up.

  • I know he could shoot the ball and all of that stuff, but hey, just doesn't It doesn't work for me with him with the Clippers.

  • I just don't like it.

  • You know, I'm not calling him out.

  • I just don't like that pairing.

  • You know, when I think about Bradley Bill with a Paul George and a koala Leonard, the Clippers, we could sit up there and talk about how they'd be a threat to the Lakers.

  • All all we want.

  • They beat no damn Los Angeles Lakers.

  • It's presently constructed.

  • They are not getting past the Los Angeles Lakers.

  • They get Bradley Bill toe pair with Hawaiian Paul.

  • George.

  • I'm not saying it could happen, but if they were lucky enough to pull that off Oh, we got a different story to tell, right?

  • If that I mean, that would be my second destination for him would be the Clippers and the thing about him on the Clippers, which, like they have no draft picks left because they had to spend it all on Paul George.

  • But if somehow in some way, that could be arranged, they what, what they would have in common with the Nets, they'd have a legit Big Three.

  • And the crazy thing about that Big three, just like the Nets, they can all three get their own shots and score from anywhere.

  • And that is I don't know if that's ever happened before until the Nets.

  • And then it would happen again with the Clippers.

  • Yeah, Bradley Beal is the balance of power kind of player in the n B A.

  • If he's on the move right now, Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
