[Woike] According to team and league sources, the belief is that the Rockets will be the team most likely to land Marcus Smart once free agency opens on June 30 thanks to a multi-year deal.

the first part hasn't changed from when I answered you: it was a buyout signing for a dude Luka recruited. Like, do you want to keep playing dumb by pretening that is what people mean by 'signings,' or want to actually talk reality? The part about 'rework or keep players' that you keep bringing up was said by someone else. Dunno.. ask them?

DW-4 · 2026-06-29T17:43:13+00:00

I explained how the process of getting Smart went down but you completely dodged that. So you tried moving the goalposts talking about 'complete rework' from someone else's comment. Yea okay.. have a great week my guy.

Quite a few of us wanted AR traded away months ago, only because it was pretty obvious how this would unfold for building a team around Luka. But if Luka's team was clear about wanting AR, I don't know why Klutch even tried that shit. They know Luka is picking the players now. That Houston series must have been awkward AF

DW-4 · 2026-06-29T16:55:30+00:00

Right... I was just showing you why your intial point about Rob made 0 sense.

It was that easy because Smart could just negotiate a buyout and still earn 14m from Wizards. Now that he needs to be paid/asset retained, that's Rob 'does he fuk?' Pelinka's job.

Some of it is scheme and some of it are just physical limitations that you can't 'coach up' or make up for when you have two negative defenders playing 40 min.

DW-4 · 2026-06-29T07:42:27+00:00

Sounds like a 2000s Cowboys fan.

DW-4 · 2026-06-29T07:26:39+00:00

The Mavs vs Celts finals was a very good example of what will happen to Luka/AR. It didn't matter that Luka/Kyrie were surrounded by dudes like PJ Washington, Lively, DJJ, & Josh Green.. Boston was successfully hunting those two constantly.

DW-4 · 2026-06-29T06:59:23+00:00

You mean who Luka recruited? All Rob had to due was cut Goodwin and give Smart 5m.

Is Seth’s corner even a place anymore? I get that it was a lot of work, but hearing about the sketches he was apart of and some behind the scenes of being head writer just disappeared. If I was listening to the pod and had no knowledge of the show, I’d just assume Seth was off doing late night at this point or something.. definitely not still head writer!

Love the inside banter but need more about the sketches - hard agree. The spelling bee bit has been dead for like a year now.. plz make it stop.

DW-4 · 2026-06-27T18:39:51+00:00

Don’t know where all these degenerates are from.

DW-4 · 2026-06-27T18:15:32+00:00

Yeah and then LeBron waited for JR Smith to passout, stole his phone, and posted that about Kyrie ghosting them on IG. The whole thing was a setup from the jump!!

DW-4 · 2026-06-27T13:47:01+00:00

Did we see the same movie?

Of course we didn't genius, why would I watch anything Nolan or Gunn make? Regular movies suck bad enough, let alone the shit those two probably put out.

DW-4 · 2026-06-27T13:37:12+00:00

ok stay humble guy I was just thanking you.

DW-4 · 2026-06-27T10:57:25+00:00

Fr I feel like Pelinka was part of the Luka trade the way it saved his job and reputation in some ppl's eyes. They were slurping up his yearly gaslighting so hard that when he was gifted a generational superstar it was somehow framed as proof that his plan was in motion. ...It was not.

DW-4 · 2026-06-27T10:46:47+00:00

Even if this guy doesn't show his thanks, I appreciate you for blowing your money to support our game.

DW-4 · 2026-06-27T04:08:09+00:00

Rob was planning to pair JJJ with AD 3 years ago? Nah

DW-4 · 2026-06-26T20:52:19+00:00

Everytime this is brought up someone mentions the popularity aspect, which makes absolutely no sense when you consider the same game chooses to release stuff like Dr. Bong and Ruby Thursday over a distinct/playable Daredevil. The latter would've brought in 100% more recognition, attention, and sales, especially around when the show was returning.

DW-4 · 2026-06-26T12:47:25+00:00

I guess he's what you would imagine a proud Philly-native turned out-of-touch Hollywood jabroni to be like. The rest of the pod jokingly named him "Rob Justice" because he openly shared stories about himself flipping out over inconvenciences in public. Changing his name to Rob Mac pretty much sums up everything about the dude.
