Josiah is going to have a desire to like amplify that and put good players around them and immediately make this seem interesting. Um, which would be exciting. But who's Giannis going to play with on this team? Like, what are they trading? Are they trading, like, all the Knicks picks, all of their own picks? And then, like, you get Giannis, and then you have more cap space to sign...
I mean, who's a good free agent? Do you guys know? Who's an exciting free agent this year? Most of them are off the board. De'Aaron Fox, did he sign his extension? That's the thing. I haven't even looked at it because I'm going hoops hype free agents right now. It's just not that good of a class.
the so again i think the only way that something big happens is if they get cooper flag if not then it's like we're gonna suck next year we're gonna continue to build a young team and then we'll do the whole like we'll trade all the next picks for a guy at some point the the discontented superstar that comes around the corner
God. Does that do anything? If they bring Brooke back, they need to sign Joe Johnson again and bring back Joe Johnson, you know?
He'd have the return. Yeah. He would be welcome back with open arms. I did say, you know... my buddy Brian does not feel this way. I, I had, I have made my peace with Kyrie. Like I felt he has like gone to Dallas and like been a positive force and not like he was really bad.
I think like, obviously we all fascinate on the, the vaccines and then the antisemitic videos, but he was like actively damaging the team, you know? And so, but yeah, I don't, I don't want him back in Brooklyn. There is a segment of the fan base that would definitely be so fired up if we came back. Really?
Yeah, because there's psychos that came in, not in a derogatory way, just like the Kyrie fans became... Oh, yeah. Brian and I talked about this a lot. It was like... So when we, pre-Kyrie, pre-KD, we were like, you know, like this, like your punk rock, your favorite punk rock band before they hit it big on the charts, right? Like that was the fan base.
It was like a small, intimate, you knew everyone, everyone had the same mentality. And then Kyrie, KD come and it's like, It's like one of the punk rock band members started dating a Kardashian, and then one of them dated Taylor Swift. And then those fan bases merged on top of this tiny little fun club that we had that we didn't want the attention. And then some of them have lingered to care about
about the team on some level. And they're just, it's just like, it's still a clash of personality in the fan base. It's been, it's been a wild ride and understanding like NBA fandom to be a Nets fan over these past 10 years or so for sure.
I'm just like drawing. I was laughing too much. So it's any coach in the NBA versus a player or just Jordy versus a player? No, just Jordy.
may be bad at this game because i love herb jones you're like really thinking yeah well i'll go jordy i just loved he's been i mean he's the problem he's the anti-hero taylor swift i'm the problem it's me he's the reason why we can't tank like we really should have kept jock vaughn like he would have tanked he would have loved he would have been so good at taking okay yeah but so jordy for the sake of the bit jordy for sure
It seems like he's a guy again, like Kenny who like, he's going to raise, you know, like it's funny. I'm going to ask you guys something. This is, I don't know how much you talk jazz on the show is will Hardy still in that class?
Yeah.
So gross. Took them three years. One of my favorite Bill Simmons bits was him being so pissed that Danny Ainge stole Will Hardy off the Celtics bench. I don't know if you guys remember that. It was like Danny Ainge sat courtside in a Celtics game and saw how good Will Hardy was. And I'm like, he's fine. He's not. But that, you know, it was one of my favorite things I've ever heard.
Yeah, I think Will Hardy's a fraud. I think he's a fraud. Next one, Jalen Green or Jordy Fernandez? Oh, Jalen Green. I mean, I know people don't like him, but you would rather have... Wow, okay. Yeah, I don't think... I don't know how...
I don't think to Jordy Fernandez you were going to be, I'm super, well, it's more of my stance to get like all NBA coaches, which is like, there are other Jordy Fernandez Fernandez out there. Wow. Yeah. That's kind of like, you know, like JJ Redick was a podcaster and is like an awesome NBA coach. Um, Jordy, Kenny Atkinson was on, obviously he got offered jobs. He almost took the Hornets job.
He had it for like 24 hours. Right. But like, he's an awesome coach. JB Bicker staff, like, We – I think that actually is – we may be in the golden era of NBA coaches right now. Possibly. And I actually – I would rather like long-term future have a good player that maybe I can flip for something else down the road than like a really good coach because Taylor Jenkins gets fired.
God, you know, like someone's going to get Taylor Jenkins for nothing. And I think if you did this with a Grizz fan last year, people would be like, oh – There's nothing that I would part for to give up Taylor Jenkins. He's going to be available and get a big contract from Matt Ishbia. this off season.
Would you rather have Geordie Fernandez or Jalen green and Taylor Jenkins? Right? Like that's I'll take that. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying, you know, I love Geordie Fernandez. He's great. He did injure aunt Edwards last. No, no, He had an amazing response though. Did you see what he said?
He said, I really tried to get out of the way and I have to be faster because the player's health is the most important thing. And like, that is like a... that like mindset, that's my favorite thing about Jordy is that like, he has that modern mindset for a coach.
