Best of NBA News Part 2: Kawhi Leonard investigation NOT CLOSE to being done + Lu Dort TRADE + Former Rival QUESTIONS LeBron's LEGACY

**Shay Shay** (0:30)
A productive NBA player someday. He was bit by Quinn Snyder, and the playoffs, because of Jonathan Kamenga, was clearly a better option. Instead of gambling on Richard's development and upside, while the $31.3 million he's owed over the next two seasons sits on the cap sheet of the Atlanta Hawks. Basketball operation Salah, Ansi Salah decided to exchange him for Lu Dort. Dort shot 38% from the floor last season, and will become a restricted free agent in the summer, if Atlanta does not sign him to an extension. Actually, it's called Ree-zasha? Richa-shay.
Richa-shay, okay. Richa-shay.
Yeah, nah, hey, look, I'll go with y'all. I ain't surprised, man.
You know, obviously, sometimes things just don't work out, bro. You know, when you look at it, Richa-shay is a great talent. I still think, you know, his upside would be pretty good. Just when you get that number one pick, when you that number one pick, bro, that shit weigh heavy. You can never live down, Joe, we talked about it, Joe. You can never live down your draft slot. You can't, you can't. And so I think what they're trying to build in Dallas, he'll probably fit and hopefully he comes around and he reaches his potential playing with Cooper Flagg. I still think he'll be a pretty good player. Yeah, and Kyrie, I still think he'll be a pretty good player in this league. It's just damn, when you look at him as a number one pick, you know what I mean? You just look like, oh man, you know what I mean? But I think when he fell out of rotation during the season and then in the playoff, he started getting DNPs.

**Ocho Cinco** (2:00)
You know what I'm saying?

**Shay Shay** (2:01)
So the writing was on the wall. It's like, he probably obviously still had a little value and Atlanta used it, bro, and was able to bring in Lu Dort and little Nim Hart from the Dallas Mavericks. You know, his brother played for the Pacers. Now, Nim Hart, he ain't as big as his brother, but he feisty, he tough. You know what I mean? Hell, I think he did what? Three, four years in college? If I ain't mistaken. So, he's a guy who plays... I thought he played well above itself as a rookie last season, so I think he'll be a great addition for the Hawks, but, hey, man, the Hawks guy, Lu Dort, we got some dogs over here, Argan Ocho. Hey. Well, I'm not surprised by this. I'm not going to be... Because they've already gotten rid of Isaiah Joe. Now, they got rid of Dort, who's, you know, they picked up his option and moved him.
I'm going to be really surprised with Cason Wallace because he's made it clear. He doesn't... I mean, Joe, when guys play really well, it's a Brunson. And I'm not saying he can go and be what Brunson became from the Knicks. But when you get your opportunity and he shows what he can do, Jalen Brunson got his opportunity. Luka got injured.
He playing out of his damn mind.
And you start to think, well, if he gets his own team or he goes somewhere where he's a focal point, he might can do something. Kason Wallace showed you. Kason Wallace says, hey, bro, y'all never gonna let me, bro, I'm gonna be fourth. No matter how you look at it, I'm gonna be fourth. You got Shay, you got J-Dub, you got Chet. Now you got Jared MacLean. You got Ajai Mitchell. Yeah. Excuse me, AJ Mitchell.

**Ocho Cinco** (3:43)
Yeah.

**Shay Shay** (3:44)
So when is it gonna be my run? Let me go somewhere I can be at least two, maybe three. They just were two guard and forward heavy.

**Ocho Cinco** (3:53)
Okay, Ochoa. Yes.

**Shay Shay** (3:55)
And this is the price you have to pay when you're a good team and you draft well and you develop guys great. You got to get off some of them damn guys, man. You do. This is what's going to... We're going to continue to see this. You look at the Spurs and what they dealing with.

**Ocho Cinco** (4:10)
That second apron. Yeah, that second apron, bro.

**Shay Shay** (4:12)
You're about to get in that second apron.
They don't want to have to... They want to stay away from that. Yes.

**Ocho Cinco** (4:17)
And I'm not saying...

**Shay Shay** (4:19)
Go ahead, Joe. You look at OKC, they cut the tax bill from 102 million on the Ocho to 19.6 million.
You know what I mean? So, that just shows you alone, bro, that teams in this league, especially the good teams, the salary cap is going to hurt them, bro. You got to get off these players.
