@@bennydabully8181 "Fraud allnba player" has made 2 allnba teams in 3 years. Not sure why he picked siakam as the dude to go after. There are plenty of easier comps. Dude is just a hater.
Christian Wood is an all star talent. We saw it already. Just like we got a glimpse of TJ Warren. It wouldn't surprise me if he had a better year than Siakam. Especially considering Siakam's playing alongside Barnes, OG, VanVleet and Trent.
Also Siakam is not a "fringe allstar". We all know that he deserved the spot and he didnt get it because he missed the first month and change. 2x All-NBA
@@wallstreet3998you are just slow man what can I say dawg dropping 23 8 5 with great defence being called a fringe all star. Crazy the disrespect pascal gets out right gross
He’s really only a fringe allstar cause he’s a front court in the east so it’s kinda hard to get him a spot sometimes. Siakam is still an all-star caliber player for sure, he’s been All-NBA twice and is a proven #2 on a championship winning team. Joel on some weird shit
As a rockets fan, watching every opposing teams center have career nights with wood guarding them was too frustrating. If wood is even a decent defender at the 5 next year I’ll be shocked
Jason Kidd flipped one of the worst defensive teams to a top 5 defense in 1 year. If anyone can do it, it will be him. I think he can get wood to buy into defense. He has the athleticism to be good
Joel fighting the good fight for Christian Wood and the Mavericks. Love it! CW is going to be MIP in 2022-23. Btw: As a Mavs Fan, Joel is invited to the cookout. Next playoffs, I gotta see you rocking a Mavs jersey 😂.
@@pickaside Come on Joel, I don't really believe you actually think Wood would be a better robin to Luka over Siakam. You've already admitted Siakam is the better player. BTW, I agree Wood will make the Mav's a better team. In regards to Woods with the Raps. That would be huge, since the Raps need a stretch 5. Woods with the Raps would move the needle significantly, maybe even contender status.
I Am A Grizzles Fan, JA MORANT is a Superstar, since he came in the league he brought the Grizzles into a Playoff Contender each year, and I guarantee JA will win an NBA Finals Championship in the next 2 years….Put Respect On The Grizzles….Grizzles will be way better than Dallas
I may be the only one but if I’m OKC I take Mark Williams over Duran. I just feel like Mark will be more impactful and reminds me of a taller Robert Williams
Why does everyone want rockets to get a true point guard so bad ? How many teams have one ? The 2 finals teams don’t got a true pg !! KPJ has no problem finding his open players they just didn’t hit shots Jabari will get his shots he just has to make them .
As a huge rockets fan, Joel, you are way too high on Christian wood. If you watched rockets games this year, you can tell how much of a problem he was defensively on the court. So many centers would have career nights against him. You’re saying he didn’t put in effort because he was on the rockets, but let’s not act like Wood wasn’t a huge part of why the rockets were bad defensively. Also his stats make him look a lot better than he is. It is clear by his body language and where he placed himself on the court that he would much rather play on the perimeter and take step backs rather than be a pick and roll big. I do think playing with Luka will make him better, but let’s not act like wood is a game changer that will take the Mavs over the top. Wood is no where near the skill level of siakam in any aspect of basketball other than maybe shooting. Oh and also with wood out of the lineup in Houston, KPJ and Jalen green were averaging 20+ a game. Just saying
That’s because both KPJ and Jalen Green performed great in the backend of the season during meaningless games. Those big time games by Green and KPJ happened in late March and early April.
@@pickaside Meaningless? The rockets played teams like the Nets, Twolves, and Hawks in their last 10 games who were all fighting for positioning in the standings. Yeah it may have been meaningless for the rockets but those teams needed wins. You can’t just say meaningless to discredit the improvement of KPJ and Jalen. I could say that ANTs improvement towards the end of last season was meaningless because the Wolves were bad but Nobody did because we knew the talent was there
Is Christian wood a great defender? No. Is Christian wood better then Powell defensively? Yes. The Mavs were able to have a top 10 defense with Powell... Who literally doesn't do a damn thing, but catch lobs when Luka draws 3 defenders. This is a big move. The Mavs have improved on both ends and got a guy who can rebound which was one of Dallas' most glaring weaknesses. They were getting out rebounded by like 15+ every game.
Do they all forget that Mavs just beat the Suns in 7? And why are we acting like Kawaii and PG are just a lock to be healthy for the playoffs which is pretty rare in itself XD
Good show. I think Dalen Terry is a lot like Delon Wright so it’s interesting to see him mocked in Atlanta where delon actually is. I wonder if Dalen would be a more successful fit than Delon was last year.
People seem to forget mavs lead the clippers series 2-0. Just saying mavs had a chance. Especially with mavs going from a bottom 25 defense to #8 this season. Tie that in with getting a center that can space the floor, SCORE AND REBOUND. Yeah mavs can absolutely beat the clippers. Insert "clippers knocked them put twice already", and look how that turned out with the suns. My mavs lost to them everytime for 3 years. Then went on to 40 peice em in game 7 in Phoenix. Let the clippers run it back and give me mavs in 6-7.
Woulda been nice to see the Spurs get Johnny Davis or Ben Mathurin at 9th, BUT Jeremy Sochan brings energy & versatility on both ends with the kind of upside that represents a huge opportunity for the Spurs famed player developmental staff. Malakai Branham being mock drafted at 11th overall shows how much of a STEAL he was at 20th. Lastly, Blake Wesley [PG/SG] out of Notre Dame at 25th, the Spurs get a super-talented 19yr old scorer, shot creator, & ball handler who is still just a little bit "raw" in the best sense of the word.
Ngl the early portion of this is rather accurate this far. Jabari to the Rockets, Keegan to the Kings, Jaden Ivey to Pistons and then y’all mentioned them getting Duren! This is dope. I’m subscribed love what y’all doing 🙏🏽
People are way to critical of Ja. Firstly, he’s young which doesn’t bail him out, but should at least allow for understanding that he just has to mature. Secondly, if someone comes at you, a trophy shouldn’t decide if you can respond back. I also get that bro doesn’t text as proper as others, but as someone from the M, I want to say a lot of people talk like that so if anything I feel it’s just culture being displayed through the youth. And lastly, I don’t understand the comparisons to previous greats and especially the comparison to Lil Durk. Durk has been an artist for a decade, so if he’s just now becoming mature, again, that isn’t fair to ask of 22 y/o Ja Morant. And Kobe was no “I’ll let my play do all the talking” kind of guy in the beginning either. According to a documentary I saw, he wasn’t mature in the slightest (talking about in reference to his beef with Ray Allen on the Secret Base Channel). I don’t agree with how Ja acts but for the public perception to fall because it is honestly stupid and inconsistent. Don’t want this to be viewed as though, love the pod. Appreciate y’all’s time.
Christian Wood is at least 15 ppg stats-wise better that Powell in the regular season. That includes the defense part. How many more wins is that for the mavericks? I would say a lot!
Dwight Powell had 9 games over 15 points (regular season 2021/22). I believe Christian Wood to have at least 15 ppg and as high as 25 ppg. Before KP trade (11.2.2022) 23 losses = 11,47 average points game loss Of those games KP wasn’t playin in 8 games /// in those games not played by KP Powell had 6,5 ppg. So you win stats-wise at least 8 more. In those losses where KP was playing he had 19 ppg on more than 30 mpg. Those games were lost for an average of 9,3 points. KP averages 2021/22 was 20 ppg 8 rb on 51% eFG After KP trade: 7 losses = 15,86 average points game loss Of those losses 2 games had less than 5 or less points difference. Of those losses 1 game had less than 15 points difference. In those games Powel had 10,4 ppg. So you win stats-wise at least 3 more. Everything being the same, even if Christian Wood (15ppg) is 5 ppg worse than KP on a much better eFG%, and the first half season being a worse team overall you still win at least 11 more games. Mavericks had 45W 30L ratio this year. That would put them on a 56 W 19L ratio. Well if that doesn’t bode well for the playoffs I don’t know what does.
Joel mentioning those post stats are useless because Woods whole game is a face up game he never plays with his back to the rim. Very rarely he does. I see you though Joel you was trying to bolster up your Wood pro propaganda respect 🫡.
To be fair for me personally I don’t mind People saying Draymond played bad , but it be going to far with the narrative that he’s lucky he plays with the Warriors, he wouldn’t be good anywhere else . Draymond is this generations best defender and one of the better play makers also.
Stop it. Wood doesn’t fit the rockets timeline. And plays no defense. Was given away for nothing because nobody wanted him since the trade deadline, says a lot.
Man said Rockets aren't a smart franchise because we gave away Wood for nothing. Fam... we were lucky to even get a first round pick for him. Wood is not nice like that. A low effort terrible defender who wanted to run iso ball out at the 3 on offense. It was a good deal for the Rockets.
Christian Wood is soft I've seen it good player but he's soft boy scared of his own shadow if he don't get touches he will pout or he might take his ball and go they could have took kpj as well cuz he another one who has attitude problems they tried to trade Christian Wood last year they couldn't get a first round pick last year
Woods been on bad teams forever. He's also been on 7 teams? In 7 years. Just got dealt for next to nothing. So maybe wonder what GMs know about Christian Wood that you don't. Check Jalen Greens numbers with and without Christian Wood in the lineup. It's exactly the same effect with KPJ. Players are better without him. The only person he makes better is himself.
I really don't get why people are taking the Clippers seriously. There's absolutely no reason to believe their stars are going to be healthy. Quite the opposite.
Like I said before...when it comes to knowledgeable, consistent, fun basketball talk, Pick a Side and Through the Wire are my go to podcasts. These gentlemen actually watch the games, actually know the players, and the leauge, awesome takes. Anyone who's a TRUE nba fan or basketball head can relate. Love the fact that yall bring Pee on from TTW...it's like a mixture of both of my favorite basketball podcasts. I really do enjoy and appreciate that. Frfr. 💯
Christian Wood is not a good screener. Houston didn’t even want the pick but they had to get something of value in return. The move is a transparent commitment to the #3 pick and by proxy other young guys on the team will get more minutes.
Joel still digging the Wood / Wood-vs-Siakam hole even deeper, I see. And then he has the audacity to claim Wood is better than Sabonis - total insanity, man. I do have to give him credit for one thing, though - if a team is taking another to 7 games, anything can happen. It might not be the likely outcome, but we all saw what happened to Phoenix this year. And for the record, Ben Simmons was terrible in the semifinals in 2019, too. That Kyrie-Curry-Harris-KD-Simmons lineup sounds mad spicy, though.
Although riv doesn’t like us raps fans, I respect him for not being biased against siakam and standing up for him. As well as being objective in his takes and owning up to his Ls💯
how is ben simmons an all-nba default when he has made the team once and pascal has made the 2nd and 3rd team on separate occasions but for some reason iit is fair to compare wood to pascal. pascal is better than simmons and has been for a while now.
i think a great idea for this show would to post a tweet asking the viewers what they thought about the takes after the show podcast has dropped because i would love to see joel get absolutely FRIED for these takes itd be great discourse
One of the best episodes I've watch, lots of laughs too. I hope Pierre comes to this pod like one a month if he's cool with that. And I hope JC is on the pod consistently if he's cool with it too.
🤣 Watch your mouth bout my Rockets Joel! Nobody else offered a 1st for Wood so that's the reason he went to Dallas. Maybe we could have shopped him last year before the deadline but none the less it clears room for #3 to get plenty of PT plus J Green is officially THE GUY with Wood in Dallas without question. #InStoneWeTrust
I think Paulo is the worst of the 3 in terms of fit with OKC. He's another ball dominant player and brings no interior defence. If you truly believe Chet is the best player, Jabari has to be the 2nd best option, someone who can spread the floor for Giddy and SGA (he's the best catch and shoot out of all 3) and provide some versatile defence. Jalen Duren at 12 helps defensively but I just think PB works in the wrong areas of the floor for OKC. Great pod guys, keep up the great work🔥🔥
Siakam is so much better wtf is this conversation

Maybe we could have shopped him last year before the deadline but none the less it clears room for #3 to get plenty of PT plus J Green is officially THE GUY with Wood in Dallas without question. #InStoneWeTrust
Damn really? I saw rumors of the Knicks offering up 11 I guess it might’ve just been smoke.
Did siakam drop like 35 on Wood this season?
I think Paulo is the worst of the 3 in terms of fit with OKC. He's another ball dominant player and brings no interior defence. If you truly believe Chet is the best player, Jabari has to be the 2nd best option, someone who can spread the floor for Giddy and SGA (he's the best catch and shoot out of all 3) and provide some versatile defence. Jalen Duren at 12 helps defensively but I just think PB works in the wrong areas of the floor for OKC.
Great pod guys, keep up the great work🔥🔥
His name is Paolo.
I want jalen duren to pair up wit ja so bad 😂
