Coming up, part one of our special live trade deadline extravaganza next. It's the Bill Simmons podcast presented by FanDuel. Super Bowl 59 is here and you can bet on America's number one game with America's number one sports book any way you want. Fun markets. who have the most yards, tons of same-game parlays, offensive titties in the next drive, so much more. It's the most fun thing about the Super Bowl for me, other than watching the game. I love the Super Bowl props. You can also check out their Super Bowl squares, pick your own numbers, and... Make your pick for a kick of Destiny 3 between the Manning brothers. I'm picking Peyton Manning every time because Eli Manning took two Super Bowls from me, so he can screw off.

On the Bill Simmons YouTube channel, that's where we went live and we did a part one and a part two heading into the trade deadline. This is the part one that we started at 1.45 ET heading into the 75 minutes right up to the trade deadline. We recapped a bunch of stuff that already happened, tried to anticipate stuff. So when you listen to it, keep an ear for that. And then part two is coming a little bit later. That is... Everything right after 3 p.m., the official trade deadline and our final thoughts, plus my million-dollar picks for the Super Bowl, which we barely talked about this week. Sorry, sometimes basketball wins. I hate to break it to everybody. Anyway, here is me, Rob Mahoney, and Big Waz talking NBA trade deadline, part one. Let's go.
I don't know what my camera is, but this is the Bill Simmons Podcast, YouTube Live, presented by Nicola Beltre, Superior Light Beer, the official beer sponsor of the NBA. That's Rob Mahoney. That's Big Waz. So we're about to go live here, and a big trade happened. Cleveland gets DeAndre Hunter for Levert Niang, two second-round picks. Second-round picks, giant commodity, Waz. And then two first-round swaps. We don't know what they are. I like this trade more than Rob. Because I like DeAndre Hunter. And you're like, go ahead, do your thing. I'm a skeptic.
I'm a DeAndre Hunter skeptic. I like players who will, on occasion, pass. DeAndre Hunter doesn't really do that. And now, he's granted, while not passing, had the best season of his career by far. Has scored and shot in a way that he never has before. That's all well and good. But when I'm imagining the Cleveland freewheeling offense... I want somebody who's going to move the ball, who knows how to play and flow. And that's not really what DeAndre Hunter does to the point.
Is that Levert though? I mean, Levert's a little ball stopper.
