00:03 - Next, Lillard.
00:05 We've heard the general manager at Summer League.
00:07 I'm not, I'm taking my time.
00:09 I'm in no rush to trade Damian Lillard.
00:12 Coach, how can they possibly find a trade with the Heat
00:17 when the best player they're gonna get back is Tyler Hero?
00:21 How could they possibly do that trade?
00:24 I mean, I don't know what the answer is.
00:26 Make him show up, keep him for maybe three months
00:29 and trade him at the deadline.
00:30 I don't know what it is, but coach,
00:32 you gotta get more than Tyler Hero
00:34 and a couple of draft picks that could be in the 20s
00:38 for Damian Lillard as far as I'm concerned.
00:40 - Well, the key to me is four.
00:43 You gotta get at least four for,
00:45 if you got five for Rudy Gobert,
00:47 you gotta get four for Damian Lillard.
00:49 Now, we all know that the trade for Rudy Gobert
00:51 was one of the worst of all time,
00:53 but you gotta get four back.
00:54 And the problem is, Carver High,
00:56 I don't care what anybody says,
00:57 you cannot take Tyler Hero and put him on that team
01:00 with Shadyn Sharp, Anthony Simons, and Scoot Henderson.
01:04 Like, you can't do it.
01:05 So it's all gonna be about rerouting Hero.
01:08 So to me, if you get three first round picks,
01:11 Tyler Hero and additional assets,
01:13 and then you can flip Hero for another pick
01:17 and you get to four, maybe.
01:19 But here's the thing I would be looking at.
01:21 If they're trying to get first round picks,
01:23 when do you do it?
01:25 You would wanna do it in like five, six years
01:28 when Jimmy Butler's passes prime.
01:31 You know, obviously Dame's making 60 million,
01:33 Bam's passes prime, Riley may be dead.
01:36 I mean, I'm not gonna, he's like Dick Clark.
01:38 He may live forever, that guy.
01:40 But you get my point.
01:41 Like, you wanna push these picks up as low as possible
01:43 and make sure they're not lottery protected.
01:46 Because at some point,
01:47 even though they've been great for a long time, Carver High,
01:50 Miami's gotta be hitting a downward trend,
01:53 probably at the end of the Butler-Bam era.
