Dan FavaleHOST
What are you hoping for out of the Mario Hezonja experience?
Justin RowanGUEST
Um, better Cedi Osman with, like, a mix of Caris LeVert wheel of Caris, right? Like, I think there are going to be possessions where it's like, okay, Mario's going...
Justin RowanGUEST
Like, if he thinks he's got a little bit of an advantage, he's going to try to capitalize on that, and you're going to get some bonker shots there.
Justin RowanGUEST
Um, but I, I'm hoping that the, the, the sh- three-point shot is real.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
This is a tough choice here 'cause we're, we're looking at the board here.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
Got Ben Simmons, Buddy Hield, Caris LeVert, Dejounte Murray, Derrick Jones Jr, Dorian Finney-Smith, Gary Payton II, Jakob Poeltl, Kris Dunn, Malcolm Brogdon, Malik Beasley, Taurean Prince.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
I- I'd go Dejounte Murray at this point.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
I, I think Dejounte Murray, when you consider the different shapes he's taken throughout his career.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
And still on there is Ben Simmons.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
And with Ben Simmons, if you look at all these other names, all of them, I think you're taking Ben Simmons over the careers of anybody else, even though he only had four peak years.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
Like if you're t- if you're going back and you know everything that's gonna transpire with Ben Simmons, and Buddy Hield, and Caris LeVert, and Malcolm Brogdon, you're still taking four years of Ben Simmons.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
Because Ben Simmons in those four years was a three-time all-star, was a one-time all NBA guy, a two-time all-defensive first team guy He was second in defensive player of the year voting in twenty twenty-one.
Camille DavisHOST
Yeah.
Nick AngstadtHOST
Uh, I don't know how much Caris LeVert factors into, but he's, he's in the last year of his deal.
Nick AngstadtHOST
Jaime Jaquez ex- you know, extension eligible right now, and is gonna be a restricted free agent the end of this year.
Nick AngstadtHOST
Kevin Porter Jr., uh, you know, contract year.
Jalen DixonHOST
I think Usman Jeng can learn a lot from that kind of play style and that kind of player that Mikal Bridges, uh, was and, and, and, and was able to be a lot of last year as well.
Jalen DixonHOST
Then last but not least, we gotta talk about Caris LeVert.
Jalen DixonHOST
Caris LeVert, small ball three, somebody who I think is more than capable of playing the small forward position.
Jalen DixonHOST
Of course, we kinda bumped him down to small forward because we're gonna talk about Kyle Kuzma, Nate Ahmet.
Jalen DixonHOST
I think that backup power forward, um, is also, we're probably gonna talk about Bogdan Markovic there as well.
Jalen DixonHOST
I think that Khalil Ware is gonna end up starting at power forward when it's all said and done.
Jalen DixonHOST
I just genuinely wanted three players at each position.
Jalen DixonHOST
That's where we kinda got Caris LeVert slid here.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
All right.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
Caris LeVert, six foot seven, six foot ten wing span.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
He's making $14.8 million expiring this year.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
He's a player who v- is quite volatile.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
Uh, he can do a, a l- a little bit on the ball scoring-wise.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
He can pass a little bit.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
I've always l- I've always liked Caris LeVert's physical tools.
Jonathan HernandezHOST
I mean, at six foot seven with a near seven foot wing span and his ability to be a defensive playmaker.
Wes DavenportHOST
And then you look at the bench.
Wes DavenportHOST
Is Isaiah Joe a better player than Caris LeVert?
Robbie BettelonHOST
Yes.
Wes DavenportHOST
Uh, I would, I bet, I bet if I put that out there as a poll, I would struggle to find any no votes.
Sam QuinnHOST
Case in point, he inherited a 14-win team that went on to win 44 and then 60 games, but it's been mostly tinkering on the sides.
Sam QuinnHOST
It's been Duncan Robinson, it's been Caris LeVert, John Collins this off-season, Tobias Harris.
Sam QuinnHOST
Guys like that, older, relatively cheap players who fit alongside the core.
Sam QuinnHOST
They have not made their big splash.
17 MINS LATER
Sam QuinnHOST
I think the scouting point is interesting because they were a very good scouting team at the turn of the decade, late last decade.
Sam QuinnHOST
Remember, they got Jarrett Allen at, like, 20.
Sam QuinnHOST
They got Caris LeVert late in the first round.
Sam QuinnHOST
Nick Claxton I think was a second round pick.
XJHOST
I'm looking at Kelo Ware and the Milwaukee Bucks, and I think that this team is kinda getting slept on right now because they're a little clunky and, like, I don't like the Jaime Has- Jaquez, and I don't like the Kyle Kuzma of it, and it's just like, eh, this doesn't really work.
XJHOST
You got Caris LeVert.
XJHOST
It's just like, it's a weird team right now, right? And so that is true.
XJHOST
They're not gonna be good now, but they do have the infrastructure to be good eventually, and not very long down the future.
Nick AngstadtHOST
Whatever you think of Gary Trent, he's still, like, an NBA player.
Nick AngstadtHOST
Caris L- Caris LeVert, Buries, Jaquez, Kevin Porter Jr., Khalil Wear, Ryan Rollins was good for them.
Nick AngstadtHOST
Maybe, maybe-
Isaac HarrisHOST
Yeah, I didn't even mention Rollins, yeah.
Justin GarciaHOST
We'll have some more roster space in terms of our flexibility to upgrade you." But as I look at the makeup of other teams out there, uh, their roster size, and frankly, I mean, the easiest things that you would look at are, like, expiring deals.
Justin GarciaHOST
What the market realistically is for guys like Caris LeVert or Kyle Kuzma, that's why I just keep coming back to, I think it's just gonna be as simple as we got an open two-way spot, we can get Pete Nance on that, and then it's, uh, you know, Caris LeVert probably would be the guy of, of the makeup of the roster that would make the most sense to just say, "We're just gonna waive you."
Camille DavisHOST
Okay.
Camille DavisHOST
So I do have two teams I wanna throw at you, but before I do that, if the Bucs did go that route where, you know, you're getting towards training camp, you're, you're trying to figure out a way to make the roster make sense as you're heading to the season, and they do decide, you know what? We are going to have to waive Pete's non-guaranteed contract, gets us down to 16, and we want to waive LeVert.
6 MINS LATER
Camille DavisHOST
You've heard connections to Jonathan Kuminga, who's now going to Minnesota.
Camille DavisHOST
So on that like restricted free agent, and Kuminga wasn't a restricted free agent, but he's kind of grouped into that bucket in my mind.
Camille DavisHOST
Uh, Detroit, do you see any, any pathway with Detroit where they could be a partner? Again, because, I mean, we did just get Caris LeVert from them-
Justin GarciaHOST
Yeah
