His career, marked by exceptional court vision, precision passing, and defensive prowess, has earned him numerous All-Star selections and All-NBA honors. Paul’s leadership has been a critical asset to every team he’s played for, guiding young talents and elevating team play.

Despite suffering significant injuries, his return to the court has been marked by remarkable performances, showcasing his resilience and dedication.
Dejounte Murray has emerged as a dynamic guard known for his defensive excellence and versatile offensive game. His tenure with the San Antonio Spurs and now the Atlanta Hawks has seen him develop into a well-rounded player, capable of scoring, rebounding, and facilitating.

Caldwell-Pope's experience and consistency, especially during key moments, have been vital in both his previous championship run with the Lakers and his current role with the Nuggets. His professionalism and steady performance continue to make him a valuable player in the NBA. - Спорт
Agree, this version of Klay at 16 mil seems like a great deal.
that's facts.
Reddit = all knowing god of basketball knowledge
infinite takes to steal.
I will sell a kidney if Klay averages 18 pts on that team next year
We'll talk next june about that kidney.
Deni moved for 2FRPs (not one), 2SRPs and Brogdon.
Damn. must've read a bad tweet.
as a wolves fan, was super sad to see kyle anderson go. made me even more sad to see all the warriors clown on him :(. hes got a slow shot but hes a great playmaker and defender!
unique style too
Chris Paul joins his 7th team
In the western conference, kinda crazy he never played out east
almost was a wizard for a minute
Prime Klay was legitimately one of the best non big defenders in the entire nba it has been a noticeable decline post injury
facts.
Mavs in 6
Bruh, it's july.
@@whatshorts mavs in 9
Philly had one game where their bench outperformed a hospital Knicks and Daryl Morrey really thought "you know what this team needs? Star power at the expense of depth."
that's Morey!
Call me crazy but when you have the opportunity to get the best free agent you probably should get the best free agent. Especially when he compliments both of your star players. Not like it was the best free agent class.
Dejounte Murray had basically the same statistical season as Paul George. He had more assists than Paul George who had more rebounds but otherwise it was pretty close. People don't perceive things like that but Dejounte Murray is an underpay these days.
that's true. the stats don't lie.
Sure, the Spurs aren’t competing, but to act like they’re gonna tank again is silly. A team like San Antonio should know better than to go head first into the third plus year of tanking. I’m sure they’ll at least be gunning for a play-in position.
I think so too. I thought CP3 would have signed a vet min on a more sure thing.
A boy and a girl instead of an nba player and a 16 year old is insane
He was 19 no? And she used a fake ID to get into a club. He was still basically a kid
I don't know the whole story. I shouldn't have brought it up.
@@whatshorts yea lol sorry evidently i didnt either she might have been 15 at the time im not sure either way she was no older than 16 and he i dont really care about his age once hes over 18 this isnt like they were dating in high school or smtn he represents the nba and the thunder and if hes sleeping with random chicks he met the night of in a nightclub he should atleast make sure its an adult hes banging
@@cheap272 its on the woman for lying about her age
@@leo_wentzel *girl not woman and no he should just keep it in his pants
Deni didnt ask for it, seeing from interviews he was really suprised and hurt from it
I think he'll see in time it was a blessing in disguise .
Melton can be a bit streaky. Kinda like a budget Jordan Poole. He had some big playoff games, I think.
budget Jordan Poole is brutal
Big Deni fan here, hope he gets to be a second ball handler and really make a jump.
me too. He had to get out of basketball hell into basketball purgatory.
Klay is just sooooo much slower, still has good defensive instincts but obviously slower to ball/ affects switching
gotcha gotcha
Where would you rank DeRozan now that he’s changed teams?
he'd probably be 2.
Mikal as the 3rd option offers you basically the same level of impact as PG as the third option, while being on 2x less money in the middle of his prime
Well no because Mikal isn’t quite the shooter pg is, doesn’t have nearly the same off ball game, isn’t the same on-ball creater as pg is, both in terms of scoring and playmaking. Mikal struggled being the number #1 for a majority of the season for a reason.
that's true. I think Randle could be moved though.
Plus had to give up 4 unprotected pick
love these videos rock on rockstar
🤘
thunder looking scary rn
spooky as hell
Just in time!! One of the best parts of my day
me too brother.
Spurs fan here, I think CP is a perfect fit! 1. He went to Wake Forest like Timmy D and has a longtime relationship with spurs family. 2. We're still tryna suck and his 1 year deal is a perfect timeline to establish this year for development while getting Chris plenty of minutes without pressure to win. 3. I'm just speculating, but after Chris' last few situations, maybe Chris values playing time and locker room vibes over contention. Contention is stressful af and Chris is known for breaking down physically under pressure. Here, we're def gonna value his mentorship; he might get honorary credit for a future chip if Stephon and Wemby develop significantly this year 😄
To me, this is kind of a basketball bucket list move from Chris and way classier than ring chasing. He's boutta set up the next spurs dynasty 😁
yeah, I think he came out and said some of this stuff very recently. At least that's what I thought I heard on No DUnks.
@@whatshorts ayyyeee great minds
thank you for your work
I enjoy it.
Great video as always! Thoughts on the DeRozan deal?
I like it. I got a feeling the Lakers weren't offering him as much. Which is tragic.
Chris Paul did OK in his presser, but Harrison Barnes looked a bit frustrated landing on the rebuilding tanking Spurs.
I didn't realize Barnes became a spur. nice!
I love these videos so much bro keep them coming
every monday buddy!
@@whatshorts we will continue to be there no matter what
Great work as usual bro. Big fan of the layout of your vids
glad you diggem player
"I don't know why you'd sign a deal with a team thats not trying to win." I dont think you understand how aging can change a player's values. Chris Paul tried so many times to get a chip and it just never went his way. I think at a certain point you have to reevaluate what you want your legacy to be. perhaps mentoring and bringing to fruition the greatest prospect in sports history is more valuable to him than bench warming a championship team for a consolation ring. It's a win win for spurs and CP3 but you wouldn't understand that, would you? you just worried about numbers and Vegas. Well here's a bet for you- Spurs will go to playoffs next season because they actually are trying to win. Wemby wants playoff experience and once he gets a taste of playoff ball, hes gonna want more. So they'll trade their future picks to give him whatever he wants and rob dilligham won't even be an afterthought. Wolves are already imploding, spurs know it so they fleeced 'em to secure a championship 3 years down the road. idk I just disagree with your take.
Yeah, maybe you're right. I had that thought too. It seems like a move CP3 would do if he wanted to land the spurs coaching job when pop retires.
I love your videos 😊
😊
"What percent of the game do we know from watching it and what percent comes from podcasts?"
Great question, I've actually done the math and on average it comes out to 10% we know from watching, and about 90% from podcasts and NBA UA-camrs
that would be my guess. possibly 95/5
Idk how you don’t have more subs man but keep it up love the content
I appreciate it brother! glad you're enjoying the content!
Last things about PG pick up is that we traded Harden to clippers and we have there future picks plus they're still own okc picks there future not looking to bright. Sixers got some valuable trade assets.
That's true. Being able to sign PG with cap space and not having to give up assets was clutch.
Deni actually didn't know about the trade, he was waked up at 2 a.m because of the trade, and from hes response that's sound like he feels betrayed by the move and hes angry at them
oh wow, that's crazy. I figured he'd be psyched to get out of there.
@@whatshortshe did say a year ago in an interview that he's afraid to stay in an uncompetitive team for a long time but he faught that he's gonna be an important piece in the washington rebuild so he did felt betrayed
Deni got traded to a bad team. Portland falls apart after about 40 games. It's weird seeing an entire NBA team offering very little defensive effort.
13:39 From someone who watched Klay’s warriors career beginning to end , his defense is about 35% of what it was in 2019, He plays okay off ball defense and still is great at switching, but on ball he is just a constant negative, he was never a great athlete to begin with but he has just lost so much athleticism that his footwork just can’t compensate, which resulted in so many damn possessions where Klay would get annihilated off the dribble and other players would have to make super late switches.
Also I don’t understand why nobody mentioned his on the court antics, there were a ton of possessions this season where after a missed shot he would give up on defense or give minimal effort, which I get your frustrated with your team but that’s super lame to do.
Agreed Klay has a temper and has a hard time coping. The rodney magruder stuff was embarrassing. He feels remorse, but he's gotta keep it together on the court. Draymond too for that matter.
Bro that Giddey take was not necessary 😭 wtf
for sure not necessary, but you gotta have some faith
17:29 “Dejounte Murray is a breast” so poetic.
Just a small one
I'm starting feel like he's more of a small thigh.
What about Demar DeRozan possibly making the Kings a top 4-5 team in fhe West?
yeah i filmed this on Saturday because my family is in town. probably would be 4
It's surreal that the 76ers had to pay Paul George
but they kinda did bc of the salary floor
Is Zach Lavine ever going to be moved?
I didn't realize how huge his contract is.
He's going to have to look REALLY good if he wants out of Chicago
Nah, he'll be the John Wall of chicago while the team rebuilds.
Dejounte Murray is more like a big drumstick in a team aspect
dude crazy I just replied this to someone haha.
what makes you think lebron is deluding himself into believing the lakers have a chance at winning another chip? Obviously they're not a favorite, but they had the second best record after boston post trade deadline last season. I really think people underestimate how much chaos Ham injected into that team by changing the lineup and rotations nearly every single game. I mean starting in february they went 24-9 for the rest of the season, and then looked considerably better against their worst matchup than they had the year before. I don't get why people don't think they're a great team with some issues and instead talk about them like a complete sinking ship.
Fair enough, but let me ask you man. You got any money on a Laker's future bet?
I’ll be my life savings they’ll not sniff a Chip😂
@@whatshorts futures in general are a terrible bet. not one team in the nba you could bet on winning the chip next year and it'd be worth your while. not even boston.
Lakers hired LeBron's friend to be head coach. JJ Redick has 0 coaching experience. Anthony Davis can only do so much. Rebuilds can be messy, embarrasing and unwanted. But they are sometimes necessary. Trading AD next summer will get tons of draft picks.
BRUH the entire caruso section is insane saying stats for stats the bulls won the trade alex caruso had like 14.6% usage n giddy had 22.5% last year thats like trading caris levert for josh hart and saying the knicks won it by stats because levert averages like 4 more points on infinitely more chances
yeah, my bad. I didn't go that deep.
@@whatshorts ur good im a giddy hater for his on court play not even rebringing up his other stuff i just cant physically comprehend the bulls even belonging in a conversation with winning that trade giving up honestly prolly their most valuable player for a mid asset that "has potential", to add something postive i think hes a great passer, just not a scoring threat
Biggest move (not transaction) is Boston resigning derrick white because it means that they will have a very good championship window for the next two years (Jrue, kp, Al, houser) and into the future with three long term contracts in white, tatum, and brown (throw in special teams specialist Payton Pritchard if your feeling generous.)
yeah, but that luxury tax is going to be B.A.N.A.N.A.S.
It just might be that the spurs overpaid paul so he can player coach for half a season then get traded for a second or 2 seconds and maybe an expiring contract getting a 11mil trade exception in the process by trading him to a team under the cap and then that team waives him in order for him to go to a contender for the rest of the season.
I wonder if they actually had that discussion.
My goat 🐐
🐐
as a delusional dubs fan, if the warriors were able to get lauri this off-season, even if it means trading the young core, i would be ecstatic. i do think that steph has some high quality juice left in him that could MAYBE lead to a deep run (again, delusional warriors fan take).
but yeah i do agree that the thunder looking scary good
If you're a fan you have to be delusional otherwise you wouldn't bother watching the season.
W takes brother.
glad you enjoyed the spice.
As a sixers fan Tobias Harris was the third option for the sixers he didn't shoot 3s was very slow footed and almost never dunk in his whole time here maybe 10times total. I'll take PG as my third option. OG got payed Heart got payed, there role players I'll take PG is a all nba caliber player, plus cap has been increasing a lot over the last couple years this probably a bargain
You're probably right. I could see 60 million not looking that crazy in a few years. I am wondering though why all these owners are dumping their equity in their franchises lately. I wonder what they know.
I like KCP but I do not think he gives them what they need. He's an excellent defender but they need more offense than KCP can provide. Defense was not their issue. He shoots a good percentage on threes but barely shoots. They will have a good record with a lot of ugly wins but I see them losing first round.
True, but losing him is a blow. A lot of expectations on dem young
Giddy the perv had to go. OKC hit the trade button for Caruso within the first second of free agency.
yeah, send him to a state with a lower age of consent.
Dude you overemphasize stats way too much. Kyle Anderson and Caruso to mention two before I had to turn it off
I didn't last two minute.
@@whatshorts shi I was a bit harsh
@@whatshorts shi I was a bit harsh
Kind of tragic the bulls turned Caruso and Derozan into Giddey, Duarte, and 2 2nds lmao. Lord knows vuc wont get them anything
yeah, Derozan could have walked for nothing though.
Alex Caruso is so underpaid compared to Isaiah hartenstein. He is definitively the better player but he's getting 20 million less per season.
Caruso will get an extension for more money.
Sixers or Knicks now in a series?
tough, but go knicks!
Watching you from Ukraine, great vid as always 🤝
praying for peace, brother.
No DeRozan?
I know. I recorded saturday. I got family in town.
Dyson Daniels stinks. Pelicans might be scary fun to watch.
for real? I heard he's got the juice.
Demar to Kings???
I recorded Saturday. I had family in town. I'd put it at 3.
The nuggets folded getting rid of KCP
Back to the 6th seed
should ponied up the cash
@whatshorts tou took the words right out of my mouth. If your team is good, why make these changes? Fuck a second apron. I know them kronke fxckers can afford it 😂 well at least I was alive to see the nuggets win a chip.
Great video thanks. First of all, everyone is falling all over themselves praising Presti for that IH deal so thanks for being one of the few to call them out on it, are you shitting me on that money?!? I don't care that year three is an option year, paying 2yrs/60 mil for a career backup CENTER?!? It's a ludicrous move and with the shitload of draft picks they have could have found a better player for trade much cheaper. Also regarding Deni, it was obvious from his press conference that he did not ask to be traded...at all. He seemed very shocked that WAS traded him. It is indeed a great get for Portland with 4yrs/55 mil for a legit 23 ye old starter.
I didn't realize the last year was a team option on that IH deal. I don't mind it so much then. Someone else brought that up about Deni. I figured he'd want to get out of Washington.
will Avdija fix the bad basketball in Portland? Or did the Blazers GM sneak in budget cuts to fix his luxury tax problems? The Blazers dumped picks #14, 32, 40 for cash considerations this summer.
Were they in the tax?
Yes. the Blazers built a luxury tax team. Portland finished in last place. The owner was probably pissed. Selling 3 draft picks was probably a financial decision.
hi whatslaps happy monday
wazzzup
alvarado is the grease
breading, herbs and spices.
You think the Cavs are resigning Okoro or trading him??
gotta say. I'm not too knowlegeable on Isaac Noskoro. (other than that nickname.)
hahahaha brutal nickname
No comments in 30 mins bro fell off😪
Thou art cringe
It was nice while it lasted.
Rip
Trae Young is the chicken wing
he's a drumstick.
The clippers subreddit is filled with losers bro don’t listen to them
Reddit is filled with losers, but I'm out there too.
damn u hate the sixers that much wow
I wouldn't say hate, but you're picking up what I'm throwing down.
Stephon Castle, not Sochan!
Probably both though right?
Sochans a power forward cp is not going there to coach him😂
Isaiah hartenstein scored only 7 1/2 more points last season than I did. That's a massive overpay but at least it's a two or three-year deal and they can maybe develop a college guy to be their big dude with Chet.😊
yeah, Okc tax. gotta shell out for anyone.
i don’t think Hartenstien’s impact on the knicks this year was in his scoring/stats sheet. he plays more of a facilitator role and allowed brunson to shine with great screening and extra rebounds. i also think that the league is in super high demand of athletic bigs, and he is a stellar one
@@angozzie I don't think that you could call Isaiah a stellar big man but a decent big man in and offseason where there weren't a lot of them to be had. I'm not trying to be critical just realistic.
