The Red Sox trading Mookie Betts makes no sense and is a repeat of the Khalil Mack trade

The Red Sox seems like what they did, what they got for it is, at best... a Mookie Betts. It's kind of like the Raiders trade when they traded Khalil Mack. They're trading assets that they hope will eventually turn into a player the caliber of Mookie Betts. ... no one is as good as Mookie Betts except for Trout.

Mookie Betts went on to win a World Series with the Dodgers and remain an MVP-caliber player, while the Red Sox struggled to find equal value in return.

Andre Iguodala is the finesse king of the world

Andre Iguodala, the finesse king of the world, somehow sat out for half the year and is now getting paid more. He got two years, $30 million at age 36. And to live in Miami. That is... my guy got to promote his book, spend time with his family, get his mind right, and then gets to move to Miami and gets a shitload of money.

Iguodala did indeed sign a 2-year, $30M extension with Miami immediately upon being traded from Memphis after sitting out the first half of the season.

Marcus Morris will be a 'LeBron stopper' for the Clippers because he can annoy him

The Clippers got Marcus Morris, which is going to be awesome when they go up against LeBron. I feel like he's one of those guys in the league who... There's no LeBron stopper, but he's one of the guys who can make him annoyed. He wants to annoy LeBron to no end, and he's got that toughness to him.

LeBron and the Lakers beat the Clippers (and Morris) in the regular season, and the Clippers collapsed in the bubble, never facing LeBron in the playoffs.

Andrew Wiggins will be the new Jeff Green and get traded constantly

Andrew Wiggins, I feel like might be a new age Jeff Green where he will get traded now. This will start the process of him being traded a million different ways. He's better than that, but a million different teams and everyone will keep saying, well, he's only 26. Well, he's only 27. He's got all the upside.

Incorrect. Wiggins actually found a home with the Warriors, becoming an All-Star and the second-best player on a 2022 championship team, staying with Golden State for years.
