00:00All right, so let's start with the two trades yesterday.
00:02I don't think anybody's surprised Jimmy Butler got traded,
00:05so we'll just break that one down.
00:06But I did see some surprise that Brandon Ingram,
00:09the specifics of the deal that he got moved yesterday.
00:11Was this expected?
00:13Did this one sort of fly under the radar
00:16of like a lot of folks?
00:18I mean, look, not to the magnitude, obviously,
00:19of the trade with the Lakers and Mavericks,
00:22but did you see this one coming?
00:24You know, as we got closer to this deadline,
00:27I did start to expect something to happen.
00:28He was linked to both the Raptors and the Hawks,
00:31and his time in New Orleans was seemingly coming to an end.
00:34The emergence of Trey Murphy III kind of opened a spot,
00:37or the need for him to have more opportunity in New Orleans,
00:41and that kind of pushed Brandon Ingram out of the door.
00:43The Raptors are a team
00:44who now have a very talented lineup.
00:46We talked about Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett,
00:47Emmanuel Quigley, and Scottie Barnes.
00:49That's four talented young players.
00:51Will the fit work?
00:52That remains to be seen,
00:53but kind of a buy-low spot for the Raptors there,
00:55trading Bruce Brown, who was on his way out anyway,
00:58Kelly Olink, an older player, as well as draft capital.
01:00So I think it could be a win-win for both teams
01:03if Brandon Ingram was gonna walk any way from New Orleans.
01:05They get a draft pick in return
01:06instead of losing it for nothing.
