🕵️♂️ Transcript:
let where check in with Shams and what’s going on in and around the NBA first up Kevin Durant he’s missed the last three games for the Suns Shams what is the status of KD here Malika I’m told there is optimism that he will return to the lineup on Friday against the jazz or Sunday against Portland he’s missed the last week and a half with that ankle sprain they need him back 11-2 with him one and N without Kevin Durant bless why don’t we stay in the west here Shams kawi Leonard he returned to practice yesterday so how are the Clippers approaching his return to the court encouraging progress he’s come a long way I’m told his return is not imminent he still has to get to full contact practices and just for an example it took Joel embiid Chris Middleton two other stars a week and a half of full five on five contact before playing Kawhi Leonard is not at that stage yet all right so a little more time here before Kawai we could be getting close you know he did get the braids here he does that before he’s going to play the Raptors they lost Scotty Barnes Monday night to a right ankle injury shop how long could Toronto be without Barnes here brutal several weeks out for Scotty Barnes with that ankle Sprint he’s he already missed significant chunk of the Season earlier with an orbital fracture but he’s going to be missing more time he’s one of four players in the NBA averaging 20 points eight rebounds seven assists the others Nicole yic LCA donic and LeBron James yeah it’s just been a rough calendar year injury-wise here for Scotty Barnes unfortunately Max SCU he hasn’t played this season for the Cavs when is uh Cleveland getting their fifth starter Max stru will make his season debut on Friday against the Wizards and this is a big return for the number number one seed Cleveland Cavaliers is the best regular season team in the NBA so far he was a starter in all 70 games played last season the shooting the depth the durability over the course of his career he was also second behind Donan Mitchell last season plus minus on the Cavs perk you see against the Wizards yeah sweet come back against a cupcake team get yours up now sh you made some serious waves last week when you reported that the Warriors they were in the market to acquire a star that move would of course help maximize Steph Curry but golden state does have a number of limitations in making any big moves here let’s just take a look real quick at the Warriors trade Outlook this is all according to Bobby they have some attractive potential pieces Wiggins maybe kaminga psky they have three tradable firsts four seconds Mr Marx help us make sense of this what is the market here for a warriors’s move what would that look like well it’s it’s all about hitting singles the one name that’s not on there is DeAnthony Melton who’s injured he’s out for the year and I think the team to keep an eye on for golden state is certainly the Brooklyn Nets and when we look at the Brooklyn who could be that player Malika I’m looking at Dennis shuder he’s in the last year of his contract he’s on an expiring $13 million contract he’s having a career year when you look at it from Melton this is easy this is an easy we don’t even have to bring out the calculator for this $13 million for $12.8 million this works as you said they have four second round picks I think the hard thing for golden state is getting rid of one of those firsts that they have available this summer they could have up to five first round picks that they can make in a trade so schruder from melon I think for Golden State that makes the most sense instead of maybe chasing that big star Bobby I thought you was going to do something that was going to make me dance I did it yesterday perk I did it yest I need something powerful and I love Denis shuder but I’m I’m thinking about Golden State Sean you know we we tossed around a lot of names you know since you broke that news LeBron James said maybe Z we talked about Zion Williamson Jimmy Butler right they need a guy that’s going to move the needle I’m also thinking about now Jonathan kaminga he’s in the starting lineup is it in the starting lineup because they want to see what he could do or to raise his value up they about to find out they couldn’t get a contract extension done but Jonathan kaminga has been waiting for this opportunity there’s people in that organization players included that have been waiting for Jonathan kaminga to finally get this opportunity from Steve cerr so he has it but they have between now and the trade deadline that’s going to shape their future what will they see out of Jonathan kaminga is there a star that becomes available is it a guy like Jimmy Butler who is you know he has the warriors on his preferred destinations list so we’ll see between now on the trade deadline a lot of it depends on the performances and Jimmy Butler he did speak with reporters today and when he was asked about his future in Miami he said quote who knows so really interesting Insight things are really interesting especially when you talk about Jonathan kaminga because Draymond Green seems like things are full circle he’s like I’m cool to go to the bench if that means Jonathan kaminga and us we keep winning but you guys know who uh draymond’s also friends with LeBron James I’m curious because in this calendar year y’all we did hear and it got kind of cute between the Lakers and the Warriors the potential of those two playing together Steph and LeBron is that something that is feasible because we’ve seen those Rumblings start to hit Bobby any listen any when we’re talking about the Sal capap and contracts I think anything is is can happen here I think obviously the biggest thing would be LeBron James has a no trade clause so if things go off the tracks when we get to February and LeBron James looks at this roster and they’re in the plan or maybe they’re in the outside of the plan would he weigh that node trade clause and has to be traded I think that’s something we approach when we get when we get to February here listen they’ve got the contracts certainly James here at 48.7 million he’s got the no trade C they’ve got the contracts they’ve got Andrew Wiggins they’ve got that melt and expiring contract they’ve got a ton of expiring contracts Gary Payton um certainly Kayon Loney need Jonathan kaminga they can get the money to match if we want to talk about just from an economic standpoint but at the end of the day the ball would be in le Lebron James’s Court here we we know that and I’m glad because it all ties together right because you know Bobby and and our boy Wendy they come out and they say oh well Braun he’s not playing he just want the Lakers to improve their roster yeah duh right but if they don’t improve the roster that’s why I mentioned yesterday that hey you know what if LeBron James do get to the point where he say you know what I want to explore trade options guess what the one guy that stopped it last year his agent Rich Paul my sources tell me he won’t get in the way of it this year well your sources okay this is what I need to check in with Shams and his sources what his Bas in reality here the most realistic outlook for the Golden State Warriors it doesn’t seem to be with LeBron James but check me if I’m wrong I think they’re exploring a lot of uh options out there in the marketplace the Nets have a few players they have Dennis shuder cam Johnson Doran Smith do you want to amplify your wing depth do you want to go get a gar like Denis shuder I think that’s on their Horizon they’re going to be in the marketplace for that playmaker score now whether that’s going to be a star a player like a Jimmy Butler or will it be a guy like Denis shuder I think that’s what we’re going to see between now and that deadline well that’s what their Warriors are going to have to contend with in the future in the next couple of months before that February trade deadline what I look [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
