Grace JeanHOST
All right.
Grace JeanHOST
Speaking of Zeke, Deron Holmes games played.
Grace JeanHOST
How important is it that Deron gets real reps this year? We're still very small in that front court outside of Yoke and AG.
Will JonesHOST
I guess I'm just going to go with, I'm going to put it at nine actually.
Matt GeistHOST
Maybe they could finally trade away Zeke Najee at the deadline.
Matt GeistHOST
Maybe we see a little bit of a breakout from a Deron Holmes.
Matt GeistHOST
maybe maybe a Julian Strother this year finally as it's a contract year for him I just think when you look at Denver compared to the rest of the Western Conference it is so tough to really win 60 games and this team never won 60 games at its peak with Jokic I also just I look at this team and I think they're the third best team in their division let alone the conference Because a team that's had their number over the last few playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves are also in this division.
Matt GeistHOST
And yeah, I am very excited to watch Minnesota next year.
Eric WedumHOST
...
Eric WedumHOST
but you have to, you have to take all of this into consider- because it's, it's not, he's not Deron Holmes.
Eric WedumHOST
You know? He's not...
Eric WedumHOST
Like, like, his fame is worldwide in a way that we can't-
Harrison WindHOST
[laughs]
Brendan VogtHOST
And DaRon Holmes II.
Brendan VogtHOST
So, you know, I don't know.
Brendan VogtHOST
I, I kinda like the fifth team here.
Brendan VogtHOST
Yep.
Eric WedumHOST
The guys looked good.
Eric WedumHOST
Alpha Diallo locked in, Christian Braun locked in, everybody looking fit and fast, and Daron Holmes got, has gotten big.
Eric WedumHOST
Daron Holmes has put on muscle.
SwiperHOST
We're gonna be the exact same team." And I think on top of that, we're also not gonna play our bench.
SwiperHOST
That bench need to get real run this year, because what they need to do is take everybody's minutes down, and even if that costs you some wins up front, you wanna take some minutes down, and then on the other end of this, you wanna be able to get to this and be like, "You know, we've, we've figured out that Julian, Alpha, Spencer, DeRozan, Tyus, or whoever, even Zeke or Holmes, that, like, we got players on this roster, and they're all doing different things." And you spent two first-round picks, y'all, in the 2020s on, on Deron Holmes and on Zeke Nnaji.
SwiperHOST
You can't keep missing.
SwiperHOST
Now, you spent two first-round picks on Christian Braun and Payton Watson, and, and Payton Watson is no longer here.
SwiperHOST
You spent another first-round pick on Julian Strawther.
SwiperHOST
So right now, your first-round picks in, in that area are Julian Strawther, Hunter Tyson, and you know, obviously Deron Holmes, and they're gonna have to make sure...
SwiperHOST
Sorry, not Hunter Tyson.
SwiperHOST
Julian Strawther, Christian Braun, and Deron Holmes.
Matt MooreHOST
Nobody else on roster.
Matt MooreHOST
Deron Holmes, probably not going to get there.
Matt MooreHOST
Could.
Matt MooreHOST
Unlikely.
Jeff MortonHOST
There was not a uniform belief in Hunter Tyson.
Jeff MortonHOST
There was not a uniform belief as of yet in Deron Holmes or even Julian Strother.
Jeff MortonHOST
And three of the Calvin Booth draft picks are not on this roster.
Jeff MortonHOST
Not speaking to the quality, because when you draft into the late first, into the second round, you are kind of hoping that these guys will become, at the very, very least, rotational players who can eat up minutes.
6 MINS LATER
Jeff MortonHOST
And it's being said without being said.
Jeff MortonHOST
Because now we've got Julian Strother out there, who knows how much belief he has.
Jeff MortonHOST
I mean, Deron Holmes, who had three second-round picks invested in him to move up to get him, he's going to be entering in his third year, and we ain't no shit about him.
Jeff MortonHOST
He hasn't been able to get off the bench.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
I have to see another year.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
If Portland says, we want Deron Holmes and the Cleveland first, that's where I start getting a little uncomfortable.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
But I'm not too uncomfortable.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
It's a deal that I definitely look at.
Adam MaresHOST
My guy.
Adam MaresHOST
Deron Holmes.
Adam MaresHOST
Deron Holmes, who wants to be? Five.
Adam MaresHOST
Five on Deron.
Adam MaresHOST
It's going to be a good year for Deron.
Matt GeistHOST
The Colin Gillespie signing, Jordan Goodwin, Oso Gidara on the second round.
Matt GeistHOST
Like the Nuggets traded up with the Suns in the 2024 draft to get Deron Holmes.
Matt GeistHOST
The Suns traded down and got Ryan Dunn, who's, I think, exceeded his value for being that late of a first round pick going forward.
Matt GeistHOST
I don't know.
