NBA Awards "The Slammies" + The Blazers Future | Slam N Jam

Yeah. I know. I just thought it was so funny that Zach's been gone for like a year and that's been the quote. It's just, he's just been waiting to talk about. Yeah. And then the other thing, John Hollinger had a good article on the athletic this week, kind of making the case that they, they have to consider a Devin Booker trade. Yeah.

Yeah, because because it is like they're one out where they could recoup a lot of value because the value that you would get from a KD trade is questionable right now based on him being an expiring contract. I just don't know how much you would get back. So that brings us to our next award. I wasn't familiar with your game award.

This award goes to the player who changed our opinion about them the most compared to how we felt coming into the season. And for me, listen, I was very wrong about the Clippers, Andrew. You were wrong. We were wrong. There are aspects of getting the Clippers wrong that I can look back on now and say, yeah, I should have seen that.

You know, James Harden playing a full season and being good after he'd done the same thing last year. I could have seen that coming. Like Norm Powell being able to pick up some of the scoring slack, considering he was almost a 20 point per game score several years in Portland. I could have seen that coming. Chris Dunn being a really good pickup after being good in Utah the previous year.

If I didn't have my OKC blinders on greedily wanting that Clippers pick to be valuable, I could have seen those things coming. But the thing I don't think I would have ever seen coming was the jump that Evita Zubats had this season. Now, maybe I could have seen him becoming the anchor for a top three defense since that's been his calling card in the NBA.

And this Clippers team has so many good defenders. But the jump he's made offensively has blown me away. And as I mentioned earlier, what a great week to be talking about him after he has his first career triple-double defensively. putting up 2011 and 10 against Houston.
