Gavin SchallGUEST
And certainly to your point, bigs in the last decade, like, I remember there was, like, a six, seven-year stretch where it was only Marc Gasol, like, 30-year over centers to make an All-NBA team.
Gavin SchallGUEST
I think Anthony Davis broke that a couple years ago.
Gavin SchallGUEST
He's lost some weight this summer with his shooting.
Gavin SchallGUEST
You would expect him to age fairly well.
AveryUNKNOWN
I'm telling you, too many coconuts have hit him right on top of the skull.
Aaron LarsuelGUEST
[upbeat music] Well, I think, uh, Anthony will be a great acquisition.
Aaron LarsuelGUEST
He can do it all.
Anthony IrwinHOST
Avery, who shows this?
Greg FinbergGUEST
Keyshawn George, Biloko Labali will probably compete for one of those starting spots.
Greg FinbergGUEST
Anthony Davis and Alex Saar will be your starting power forward and starting center.
Greg FinbergGUEST
And then I also finished it out with Trey Johnson and DeAndre Ayton.
Greg FinbergGUEST
I think Trey probably won't start, but he'll be the backup two guard.
Greg FinbergGUEST
He's probably the only like true, true two guard that can stretch the floor on this team.
Greg FinbergGUEST
And then DeAndre, and you just traded two second round picks and Jane Hardy for him.
Greg FinbergGUEST
You need a backup big that can be suitable and serviceable and can, you know, buy you some minutes if Anthony Davis and Alex are injured.
Greg FinbergGUEST
And I think he's going to play a really big role as that primary backup to those two.
Sam QuinnHOST
First one from Ben.
Sam QuinnHOST
If Anthony Davis plays well and the Wizards set a trade or arbitrage trade him, essentially, what are the likely destinations? I went through the exercise.
Sam QuinnHOST
What I found, first and foremost, was that it's mostly East teams.
Sam QuinnHOST
I had a really hard time finding a West team that could fit Anthony Davis at $58 million into their salary structure.
Sam QuinnHOST
Let me go through some of the teams.
Sam QuinnHOST
It's not easy.
Sam QuinnHOST
The money is pretty straightforward.
Sam QuinnHOST
It would be Philly's 2033 first round pick.
Josh GossHOST
I will say, I think the Wizards sleeper are going to be an underratedly amazing front court defense.
Josh GossHOST
If healthy, which is obviously the big caveat whenever you have Anthony Davis.
Josh GossHOST
But Anthony Davis and Alex Saar, really, really nice frontcourt depth there.
Josh GossHOST
Well, depth beyond them is like DeAndre Ayton.
Josh GossHOST
But anyway, I digress.
Josh LloydHOST
Now you can see my numbers.
Josh LloydHOST
Like Haliburton, they're getting projected at 10 assists per game, 22 points per game, 1.1 steal, but is it possible that he gets 0.9 steals? Is it possible with Davis, AJ Deviner, and if they do prioritize Keyshawn George or Alex Sarr in terms of usage priority and say Trae just be a playmaker, that he gets 11 assists and averages 19.5 points? Look, I don't, I don't think that's going to happen.
Josh LloydHOST
But when we're trying to work out what could happen, we have a narrative.
Josh LloydHOST
We, we have to have an idea of why.
16 MINS LATER
Josh LloydHOST
Sarr's got an ADP of 64.2, which is too high for me.
Josh LloydHOST
I'm only projecting him at 13 points, 7 rebounds, 1.9 blocks.
Josh LloydHOST
Very simply because you are adding in Trae Young, AJ Dinwiddie, and Anthony Davis.
Josh LloydHOST
None of those players existed on this team last season.
Kyle NeubeckHOST
And if he can get into preseason, start of the season healthy, start off on the right foot after having this long runway of the off-season, that might be able to take him a long way.
Devon GivensHOST
How much do you factor in what we've seen in, in the Anthony Davis, LeBron James pairing over the years? Won a championship, of course.
Devon GivensHOST
That's the closest thing he's had to Joel Embiid when we talk about Anthony Davis.
Kyle NeubeckHOST
Yeah, and he's just a lot different.
Kyle NeubeckHOST
He is defensively someone that can play a lot higher, at times can switch for sure.
Kyle NeubeckHOST
Is more mobile.
Kyle NeubeckHOST
Does wanna be more of a pick and roll guy.
Kyle NeubeckHOST
Although his, their title winning run did rely on Anthony Davis kind of playing like Joel Embiid.
Adam AuslundHOST
The Wizards are better than them.
Adam AuslundHOST
The Wizards, they have some talent with Trey Young and Anthony Davis.
Adam AuslundHOST
Can they stay healthy? AJ DeBonson out.
Adam AuslundHOST
I'm not going to say they're better than the Clippers right now.
Tyler BrittonHOST
We're going to mention him this time.
Tyler BrittonHOST
Damian Lillard is someone who would have been considered for this list had he not missed the entirety of last season, as well as Jason Tatum, Tyrese Halliburton, Ty Jerome, Trey Young, Anthony Davis, DeJounte Murray, Domantas Sabonis, Zach Eadie, and Kyrie Irving.
Tyler BrittonHOST
Those are the injury guys.
Tyler BrittonHOST
I will quickly remind you of everyone we've already mentioned that was a part of this list or just missed the cut.
Damien BarlingHOST
I'm not doing that.
Damien BarlingHOST
And then, of course, Washington quickly pivoted and went with Anthony Davis.
Damien BarlingHOST
And it's why the Anthony Davis situation this offseason was going to be so interesting to follow.
Damien BarlingHOST
And it appears it's nothing now.
Damien BarlingHOST
Like, It's AD and it's Trey and it's AJ and it's the Wizards moving forward.
Damien BarlingHOST
But there was at least rumblings, relatively loud rumblings to start the season that maybe Anthony Davis didn't want to be in Washington.
Damien BarlingHOST
Maybe without a contract extension coming his way, he wanted out.
Damien BarlingHOST
And so that opened up the door once again for, hey, you're looking for a big man.
