1:09:51 realistically when the nba expands they’ll just move Memphis to the eastern conference ( since it’s already east) and add both Seattle and Vegas. I just don’t see what east city would get a team when everyone wants Seattle back and everything going on in Vegas we all know they’re getting a team
@@Jonathan-bn8uf there are 30 teams. If you had Seattle and Vegas that puts 17 in the west and 15 in the east. Just move Memphis to the eastern conference because geographically it is closer to Boston (and every other east team) than to LA or Portland and keep Seattle and Vegas in the west. Now I may be bad at math but… 30+2= 32 and 17-1=16 and 15+1=16 and 16+16= 32
#DropTheMike Peja Stojaković. I had limited access to watching any west coast teams, so to me he was this mythical perimeter-scoring forward who was waaay ahead of his time
Always thought KD and Russ competing hard against each other was a respect thing, pretty sure they said as much after the games too. They’re super similar with their obsessions with basketball, and KD had that burner account where he specifically didn’t call Russ out as part of the problem so there’s more on the side of respect/friendship then grudge or hatred. They seem like better mixes as personalities then on court running mates, tho to be fair they did pretty well out the gate before they got their legs under them as the pros they became. One of the NBAs great what ifs
@@canadadry4609he actually didn’t call out Russ with the burner. If anything he defended Russ with it. He said that the team was built horribly outside of him and Russ
#dropthemike Knicks JR is who got me into basketball, dude was pure thoughtless offence and I couldn’t get enough. Also growing up near Toronto the raptors were always on tv and that man jose Calderon was so consistent. Think he went nearly a season without missing a FT
Gotta agree with P on the Suns PG situation. I think every good team needs a good PG or elite playmaker at least. (As y’all mentioned Lebron, Jokic, Draymond.) And the Suns don’t have that, I don’t think they’ll succeed in the long run.
Book really gonna surprise everyone this year if you actually watched suns basketball all year the games when CP was out book was running the point and was looking real nice doing it 👀
#DropTheMike Gerald Wallace on the Bobcats was my first favorite player when I first started getting into basketball, to this day he's the reason I still root for the Hornets as a secondary team to my Knicks.
#DroptheMike Luis Scola for sure, with the Argentinian Tango! That move was so smooth and crisp, even as a PG myself I wanted to put that in my game somehow
#DropTheMike gotta say Rudy Fernandez. Watching him dunk on Dwight Howard on Team USA and then playing with him on the Blazers in 2K, dude was a monster.
#DroptheMike these boys weren’t in the nba yet but I remember being like 16 and I was a huge Kentucky fan.

#DropTheMike Shannon Brown. When I went to my first ever Laker game I was expecting to see Kobe go off but Shannon Brown was the leading scorer for that game. Also just have fond memories of him as a kid playing for the Lakers
#DroptheMike crazy random moment but I remember watching a 40 year old bucks Jason Terry locking up 19 year old Shane Larkin a couple years back as a diehard mavs fan and absolutely loving it 😂
Christian wood to the cavs is something I hadn’t considered but I’d love to see him in Cleveland…adding some depth to the big frontcourt after fixing the wing depth and would probably make us a top 4 seed contender guaranteed
i mean the sixers will always be in trouble with embiid on the roster, I've never met the bloke and can already tell he'd annoy the shit outta me... no wonder everyone wants out lol
Middleton was a dawg during that finals run check the fing stats 24 PPG, 7 RPG, 5 APG, and a steal a game he helped carry us when Gianni’s was hurt multiple great games on the finals and a 38 point game performance in game 6 against Brooklyn on the brink of elimination. MIDDLETON WAS A DAWG UNDERRATED AS HELL ALWAYS AND SADLY PROBABLY FOREVER
Montreal would be a great eastern conference expansion team. It adds another team to Canada, it brings in a built in rivalry with Toronto and there’s a market for it, because a lot of Canadian nba players have been coming from Quebec
Dmills is such a casual saying okongu is lacking defensively because he's undersized lol. Also, Jamal Murray might not be an all star yet but he sure as hell performed as one in the playoffs. Way better second option than for example Wiggins for the dubs one year before. Y'all be going off of vibes most of the time rather than facts, still fuck with you big time
For the expansion draft Canada needs another team, Montreal would be the perfect city, it's out east they already have the hockey arena , also the Thabo Sefolosha and Kent Bazemore Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague Hawks #DroptheMike
Everybody always brings up the Kawhi shot being unlucky for the sixers/Embiid, but Joel averaged 17.5pts in that series. It was unlucky for the sixers that their star player played like shit lol
For the expansion teams it will 2 western conference teams ( Vegas and Seattle) and 1 team in the west moving to the east (Memphis, Minnesota or New Orleans) some honorable mention location i would like to see are San Diego, Vancouver, Mexico city, Kansas city / St. Louis, Louisville, Nashville, Tampa Bay, Pittsburg, New Jersey.
#Dropthemike I thought johnathan Simmons was the next superstar coming out of the spurs. He went to the magic and I would then forget he was apart of the Markell trade
#dropthemike first name that came to mind was Steve Blake, that fight video is crazy and growing up in MD I always heard folks talk about him and Steve Francis
Bruh for the HoopGrids stuff, when I get stumped and I’m trying to get low rarity I be guess old all timers that I just hoped they ended up somewhere else later in their career. It was Wizards & Thunder and I guess Spencer Haywood, bruh was 0.49% 😭
Random player that unlocks memory’s for me is Mike Scott. Love that Goofy ass Emoji shit, especially with how he’d get occasionally. Just saw him cooking in some league the other day & was instantly thinking about him having his moments. Dude had that Dawg in em.
My guess for NBA expansion would be Seattle and Las Vegas become West teams. Minnesota and Memphis become Eastern Conference teams. Both cities are actually closer to most East teams
@@kevins5673 nah just to make it even, 15 east 15 west. You add 2 to the west you got 17 west and 15 east, so take 1 team from the west like the timberwolves and make it east so now it’s 16 east and 16 west.
#DropTheMike i modeled my game around Tyson Chandler so him fasho. Elite rim protector and rebounder, balanced with strength and athleticism, and a great leader... plus he was one of the first putting on a pre game fashion show.
I have a Michael Carter-Williams jersey from the bucks 15-16 season that makes me think about that team with names like OJ Mayo, Grievis Vasquez, Steve Novak. Probably my favorite jersey I own cause how we’re we the team to stop that warriors streak.
If they add both Vegas and Seattle as expansion teams they will move a team like Memphis or New Orleans to the East as they are technically on the East
Never thought I would heard Tally said on TTW. Shout out D Mills for saying Tallahassee man. But it could be two west teams and make the pelicans/grizzles an east team.
Pg: Cade, Monte, Killian? Sg: Ivey, Burks, Sasser Sf: Bojan, Thompson, Harris, Livers Pf: Beef stew, Bagley C: Duren, Wiseman Everyone on the team besides maybe Killian is a rotational player on most teams. I love the podcast, But I agree with Mike that we might be a sleeper
For expansion just put 2 teams out west. Then move a current western conference team to the east to even it out at 16 a piece. The grizzlies would be the perfect team to move to the east when you just look at where they’re located geographically anyway.
Some east expansion cities I think might be a good add is Cincinnati St Louis Louisville Pittsburgh Kansas City Springfield (just because the game was invented there) Or add two west teams and move Memphis to the east. If that happens I would love to see Seattle and Mexico City getting a team.
It doesn't have be 1 team West and 1 team East. Look at Memphis, they are closer to the East and are in the Western Conference. If the two cities selected for expansion are Seattle and Las Vegas, you could select Memphis and either Minnesota or New Orleans to move to the Eastern Conference.
I'd love to see a team in Quebec City, but it's unrealistic. It'd be the smallest NBA city, but there aren't any other Big 6 sports teams so It'd be the main pro sports team in a city that really doesn't have much else (Youth Hockey and a Baseball team) It has that going for it I suppose. Montreal, however, could definitely work for an eastern conference team. There's probably less demand than somewhere like Louisville but there is a lot of interest and the Market is so large It more than makes up for it. It'd also make for a really cool rivalry between the team and the Raptors. A Quebecois team or even just another team in Canada would be really great for the sport up here.
1:09:51 realistically when the nba expands they’ll just move Memphis to the eastern conference ( since it’s already east) and add both Seattle and Vegas. I just don’t see what east city would get a team when everyone wants Seattle back and everything going on in Vegas we all know they’re getting a team
STL needs a team
that’s exactly what i was thinking
Minny, New Orleans, or Memphis can all move east. Doesn't Minny have to travel the most out of any team in the NBA to play division rivals?
Wouldn’t this make the west have more teams than the east?

1:11:42 Mike: “Caruso that 🥷🏽”…..
