The Milwaukee Bucks' BIG Trade BAFFLES Mr. B & The Gil's Arena Crew as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Bucks decision to trade Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma and break down how the move will help Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, Doc Rivers and the rest of the Bucks in their push for the NBA Playoffs. Then, with the NBA Trade Deadline just one day away the Gil's Arena Crew takes a look at the NBA rumor mill where the Golden State Warriors seem to be striking out on several key trade pieces like Jimmy Butler but may have one more ace up their sleeves with a potential reunion with Kevin Durant in the works. Gil's Arena debates if the Dubs should go all in on bringing KD back to the Bay and break down how this reunion could bring Steph Curry & Draymond Green back into the championship picture in the final years of their illustrious careers. Next, they highlight the fall out of the most shocking trade in NBA History as both the Los Angeles Lakers & Dallas Mavericks took the court last night following the Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade where LeBron & Bronny James showed out in front of their new teammate & Kyrie Irving reflected on his time sharing the court with Luka Magic. Finally, they whip around the NBA to highlight storylines outside of the hot stove like the Boston Celtics big win over Donovan Mitchell & The Cavs, Joel Embiid's return to the 76ers and Zion Williamson being held out of back to backs by the New Orleans Pelicans.

[0:42] Speaker 3: He looked homesick.
[0:45] Speaker 1: He looked happy.
[0:45] Speaker 4: He looked skinny. He remembered all them good times. Looking skinny,
[0:51] Speaker 4: looking ready to play some defense. Ready to be the
[0:54] Speaker 4: face of the franchise. Say goodbye. Take those keys.
[0:57] Speaker 1: Brown hopping his passenger seat. He back with Black and Mouth.
[1:03] Speaker 1: He got his boy back. Saving the number for you.
[1:06] Speaker 1: But this is Gil's Arena presented by Underdog Woo Woo.
[1:08] Speaker 1: As always, we got the legend Gilbert Arenas here with us.
[1:14] Speaker 1: Representing Tough Crowd, Tough Crowd University, we got Mr. B, Brandon, Jenny.
[1:20] Speaker 1: Got some Bucks things to discuss, of course. We got
[1:23] Speaker 1: former number one pick, the bully from Oak Cliff, Texas,
[1:26] Speaker 1: Canyon Martin. Representing Your fellow Bearcat, I respect it. Travis Kelsey, man.
[1:34] Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Is there a football game
[1:36] Speaker 1: this week?
[1:38] Speaker 2: Small game this week, man. Well, you know. All these
[1:40] Speaker 2: trade news, huh? Had to push him out the paint.
[1:45] Speaker 5: Oh.
[1:46] Speaker 1: And last but not least, the man known as Cemetery Larry.
[1:51] Speaker 1: Rashad McCants. Back in the building.
[1:55] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
[1:57] Speaker 3: Who number 31 for the Lakers? Greatest Laker of all time. Oh,
[2:06] Speaker 3: Kurt Rambis. Rashad rocking the Kurt Rambis jersey on Black
[2:11] Speaker 3: History Month. Isn't it?
[2:12] Speaker 1: That's a disgusting number. For a Laker great?
[2:15] Speaker 2: For a Laker great.
[2:17] Speaker 3: 31.
[2:19] Speaker 1: Yesterday. Yesterday.
[2:21] Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
[2:21] Speaker 2: Got a Kurt Rambis.
[2:22] Speaker 1: The Kurt Rambis. in the midst of black history month.
[2:25] Speaker 1: I threw the other one in the trash. We retrieved it.
[2:27] Speaker 3: Don't worry. We retrieved it.
[2:28] Speaker 1: Got it steam cleaned.
[2:29] Speaker 3: Let me get the closest thing. Let me go get Kirk.
[2:33] Speaker 1: Reggie Miller. Not today. We got the jersey steam cleaned.
[2:39] Speaker 1: Gave it a little exorcism. That's a crazy find. Got
[2:41] Speaker 1: it back to where it needs to be. A lot
[2:43] Speaker 1: of things to discuss in the show today. For all
[2:45] Speaker 1: the fans out there, we still got two viewing options
[2:47] Speaker 1: for you. Our traditional version and mobile vertical version. Pick
[2:49] Speaker 1: whichever one you want to watch. Just make sure you
[2:51] Speaker 1: support the show. Here's what's cracking in the arena today.
[2:56] Speaker 1: The Bucs are trading three-time All-Star Chris Middleton to the
[2:58] Speaker 1: Wizards for Kyle Kuzma. How much does Kuz move the
[3:02] Speaker 1: needle for Milwaukee in the East? Mr. B, I know
[3:04] Speaker 1: you got some thoughts. Leluka Bronchik could be just days
[3:08] Speaker 1: away from making their debut together with the Lakers, but
[3:11] Speaker 1: can they actually play well with each other on the court?
[3:14] Speaker 1: Some people don't think so. Some people do. We will
[3:16] Speaker 1: get into it. And the Suns are reportedly listening to
[3:19] Speaker 1: trade offers for Kevin Durant A lot of speculation, a
[3:24] Speaker 1: lot of rumors going on right there. But would a
[3:26] Speaker 1: Warriors reunion make sense for Steph and KD at this
[3:30] Speaker 1: point in their careers? It very well could happen, ladies
[3:32] Speaker 1: and gentlemen. We are 24 hours away from the trade deadline.

[4:20] Speaker 3: That 4.5, yeah.
[4:22] Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
[4:23] Speaker 1: That made me think they know something. They got something
[4:27] Speaker 1: up their sleeve. But you got Donovan Mitchell, higher 29.5 points,
[4:31] Speaker 1: rebounds and assists. Obviously, the Cavs coming off that loss
[4:34] Speaker 1: to the Celtics last night. Got the Pistons tonight. And

[7:15] Speaker 1: It's tough. Previously or currently, to have a chance to
[7:18] Speaker 1: win the free bread. Shout out to underdog. Shout out
[7:20] Speaker 1: to everybody over there. We are giving away bread, ladies
[7:23] Speaker 1: and gentlemen. We are trying to get to not a million, Gil,
[7:25] Speaker 1: a gillion.
[7:25] Speaker 3: A gillion.
[7:26] Speaker 1: A gillion. That's Branding. That's Branding, ladies and gentlemen. That's Branding? Branding.
[7:33] Speaker 2: Oh, Branding. Good guy.
[7:35] Speaker 1: But NBA trade deadline is tomorrow at noon, but things
[7:38] Speaker 1: are already getting turned up around the league, as we've seen.
[7:41] Speaker 1: Shout out to Luka Doncic. Face of the Lakers. But
[7:44] Speaker 1: we got some breaking news.
[7:45] Speaker 3: Coming out of Milwaukee.
[7:48] Speaker 1: The Bucs trading three-time All-Star Chris Middleton to the Wizards
[7:51] Speaker 1: for Kyle Kuzma. Here are the full details of the trade.
[7:54] Speaker 1: So the Bucs are sending Middleton. Their 2024 first-round pick, A.J. Johnson,
[7:58] Speaker 1: in a pick swap to the Wizards for Kuzma, Patrick
[8:01] Speaker 1: Baldwin Jr., and second-round draft compensation. So according to Shams,
[8:05] Speaker 1: Kuz is reducing his trade kicker to give the Bucs
[8:08] Speaker 1: some flexibility to add to the roster. I think, what,
[8:10] Speaker 1: he had like a 15% trade kicker?
[8:12] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
[8:12] Speaker 1: And that was kind of... So let me ask y'all this.
[8:14] Speaker 1: They got Chris doing the bootleg.
[8:17] Speaker 6: Bootleg breaking news and got Shams doing all the VIP
[8:20] Speaker 6: luxury shit.
[8:21] Speaker 1: Well, you know, Chris, that's tragic for Black History Month.
[8:24] Speaker 1: Chris Haynes out here on his own grinding. It is.
[8:27] Speaker 3: It is.
[8:27] Speaker 1: It is.
[8:28] Speaker 3: He got to be like, man, I got it first.
[8:32] Speaker 1: He stole it from me. So Haynes, I think, broke
[8:35] Speaker 1: that news at 7.14 a.m. Shams also broke it at
[8:38] Speaker 1: 7.14 a.m. But Haynes gets the Black History Month tiebreaker.
[8:41] Speaker 1: We had to go with Haynes for the report. But
[8:44] Speaker 1: like I said, Kuz reducing his trade kicker to give
[8:46] Speaker 1: the Bucs some flexibility to add to the roster. But
[8:48] Speaker 1: let's talk about Chris Middleton. Spent the past 11 and
[8:50] Speaker 1: a half seasons with the Bucs. Three-time All-Star, helped the
[8:53] Speaker 1: Bucs win the 2021 chip. Struggled the past few seasons
[8:56] Speaker 1: while battling injuries, including bilateral ankle surgery this offseason. Averaging
[9:01] Speaker 1: 13 points, four assists, four rebounds in 23 games this season.
[9:04] Speaker 1: But has come on as of late, scoring 20-plus points
[9:07] Speaker 1: in three of the Bucs' last four games. But now
[9:09] Speaker 1: he joins the 8-41 Wizards squad, but has a player
[9:13] Speaker 1: option this summer for $ 34 million. There are some rumblings
[9:15] Speaker 1: that they may try to buy him out. Let him go.
[9:17] Speaker 1: Give him his free. Let him go try and find
[9:19] Speaker 1: another contender to play with. We'll see how that pans out. Kuz,
[9:22] Speaker 1: under contract through 2027, will make around $ 41 million total
[9:26] Speaker 1: over the next two seasons. I think he's making $ 21
[9:28] Speaker 1: million next season, then like $ 19 million after that. So
[9:31] Speaker 1: according to the– yeah, Kuz. So Kuz, his contract goes down.
[9:35] Speaker 3: For some reason.
[9:35] Speaker 2: He's got his bread, though.
[9:39] Speaker 1: So according to Athletics' David Aldridge, the Bucs did extensive
[9:42] Speaker 1: research on Kuzma in recent days. Team officials believe Kuzma
[9:45] Speaker 1: can help them play fast on offense and be more
[9:48] Speaker 1: effective in transition. So obviously Bucs news. We've been talking
[9:53] Speaker 1: about it for a while. Mr. B, you said Milton,
[9:56] Speaker 1: greatest small forward in Bucs history. Yeah. I had to
[9:59] Speaker 1: disagree and give that. nod to Marcus Johnson for a familial,
[10:02] Speaker 1: you know. That's your daddy. It is my daddy. But, Mr. B,
[10:05] Speaker 1: how do you feel about the Bucs trading Chris Middleton
[10:08] Speaker 1: to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma?
[10:10] Speaker 3: First off, shout out to the GMs, dog. The GMs
[10:14] Speaker 3: is really getting it cracking.
[10:15] Speaker 1: Out here, and they actually got their, they're getting their
[10:17] Speaker 1: power back. Um.
[10:19] Speaker 3: You know, Nico, what he just did with Luka is just,
[10:23] Speaker 3: you know, they just, you know, they got their power
[10:25] Speaker 3: back and they were starting to show who really.
[10:27] Speaker 2: Run it now.
[10:27] Speaker 3: So shout out to the GMs for actually making this
[10:29] Speaker 3: entertaining and, you know, having some balls to be able
[10:32] Speaker 3: to be like, you know, get on, get on up
[10:34] Speaker 3: out here. As far as the trade, I mean, you know,
[10:38] Speaker 3: we got Kuzma, you know, he's a good player. I
[10:42] Speaker 3: think he can definitely help us. You know, he left
[10:46] Speaker 3: room in there for us to be able to go
[10:47] Speaker 3: get another. piece also. So I like that, that he
[10:50] Speaker 3: came in team first. But losing Chris, I mean, you know,
[10:55] Speaker 3: his playoff performances and what he can do is just,
[10:58] Speaker 3: you know, it's already indebted. So to lose a player
[11:00] Speaker 3: like that is, is really tough for us. Cause he's
[11:04] Speaker 3: very proven. He is the best small forward in Bucks history.
[11:08] Speaker 3: So to, to let that go and AJ Johnson, it's tough.
[11:13] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[11:13] Speaker 3: So, you know, we'll see what happens, but this move
[11:17] Speaker 3: right here, man, You know, if it don't work out,
[11:21] Speaker 3: I think we could be seeing the last of Giannis
[11:23] Speaker 3: in the Bucs uniform.
[11:24] Speaker 1: And do you think, obviously, I know you don't know
[11:26] Speaker 1: for sure, but do you think Giannis obviously knew before
[11:28] Speaker 1: this went down or at least had to have some
[11:30] Speaker 1: knowledge that the Bucs were looking at moving Middleton? We
[11:33] Speaker 1: saw with Drew Holiday for Dame, seeing how that's panned out.
[11:37] Speaker 1: But now, obviously, that Bucs big three that won the chip.
[11:41] Speaker 1: I mean, yeah.
[11:41] Speaker 3: I mean, no, he definitely knew. He said. They said,
[11:44] Speaker 3: they came out and said that he was okay with it.
[11:47] Speaker 1: You know.
[11:48] Speaker 3: The only thing is with Kuzma is he's been with
[11:50] Speaker 3: the Wizards for a minute. Three and a half seasons.
[11:52] Speaker 3: And they've been pretty bad.
[11:55] Speaker 1: A hot pack of mid, as the kids would say.
[11:56] Speaker 3: You know, they've been very bad. So hopefully he can
[11:59] Speaker 3: get out of that Wizard mindset and, you know, understand
[12:02] Speaker 3: that the Bucs are trying to win a championship.
[12:04] Speaker 1: The Wizard mindset. Gil, you saw the news. Obviously, fan
[12:10] Speaker 1: of Doc Rivers now. That fandom heightened after the Luka trade.
[12:14] Speaker 1: Clean slate with Doc and his Milwaukee Bucs squad. How
[12:18] Speaker 1: do you feel about them trading Chris Middleton to the
[12:20] Speaker 1: Wizards for Kyle Kuzma? I actually didn't hear about it. Well,
[12:26] Speaker 1: you just heard about it?
[12:29] Speaker 2: When did this happen?
[12:32] Speaker 3: 7.14 a.m.
[12:32] Speaker 1: Pacific is when the news broke to the general public.
[12:36] Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I was playing Call of Duty.
[12:37] Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
[12:38] Speaker 2: I was playing Call of Duty, but it looks amazing.
[12:42] Speaker 5: Um....
[12:48] Speaker 1: Gil very enthusiastic about the moves.
[12:51] Speaker 3: I didn't make the call.
[12:52] Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I like it. You like it?
[12:55] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[12:57] Speaker 2: Actually, I mean, listen, Chris, he did.
[13:03] Speaker 2: He was healthy at one point.
[13:05] Speaker 5: I mean, you know, having two surgeries this summer, I mean,
[13:08] Speaker 5: we don't know how that's going to affect him. You
[13:10] Speaker 5: got somebody who ain't really been hurt. He's a wild card.
[13:13] Speaker 5: Anything can happen in the playoffs the way fucking Giannis
[13:17] Speaker 5: is playing.
[13:17] Speaker 2: I mean, Jesus Christ.
[13:19] Speaker 3: You have Giannis.
[13:22] Speaker 5: I mean, no one has talked about what Giannis has
[13:25] Speaker 5: been doing for the last fucking month, but he owned
[13:28] Speaker 5: fucking January. I mean, as long as he's healthy, to
[13:34] Speaker 5: be honest, whoever the fuck y'all got on the team.
[13:37] Speaker 2: Should be all right. I mean, it all runs with him.
[13:39] Speaker 5: I mean, if Kuzma's out there doing Kuzma, it should
[13:43] Speaker 5: help a little bit.
[13:44] Speaker 3: What is Kuzma doing Kuzma? He tucks up. He tucks
[13:47] Speaker 3: up some crazy.
[13:48] Speaker 5: You know, when the playoff starts, there's always, you need
[13:50] Speaker 5: an outlier, right? You need somebody who's going when, you know,
[13:53] Speaker 5: everybody's focused on one player who's going to go in
[13:55] Speaker 5: there and do some crazy shit to try to break
[13:56] Speaker 5: up the defense.
[13:58] Speaker 2: That's what Kuzma does.
[13:59] Speaker 1: Right?
[14:00] Speaker 5: There's going to be some times where they'll be like,
[14:01] Speaker 5: what the fuck is he doing? There's going to be
[14:03] Speaker 5: some times, oh, shit, Kuz, good job, Kuz. You know
[14:06] Speaker 5: what this could have got?
[14:07] Speaker 3: I mean, Kuzma and Bobby Porter's not the same.
[14:11] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[14:12] Speaker 2: Yeah, huh?
[14:13] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[14:14] Speaker 2: Yeah, one's light-skinned, one's dark-skinned.
[14:17] Speaker 3: So, like, they couldn't package that? Like, because you got
[14:23] Speaker 3: the same, you got two of the same, they do
[14:24] Speaker 3: the same thing.
[14:25] Speaker 2: Yeah, one's more of an open-court type of guy, so.
[14:28] Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
[14:30] Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not mad at it.
[14:31] Speaker 5: I mean, the way Giannis is playing is between them.
[14:35] Speaker 2: And Boston now.
[14:37] Speaker 1: Ooh.
[14:38] Speaker 3: Mm. We lost a lot. We lost a lot.
[14:40] Speaker 2: I don't know.
[14:41] Speaker 1: Let's move to this side of the couch. I like it.
[14:43] Speaker 2: I mean, I like it.
[14:44] Speaker 1: Obviously, other situations going on in the league we will
[14:46] Speaker 1: discuss shortly. But this Bucks deal, sending Chris Middleton, obviously
[14:52] Speaker 1: didn't come back until December. Struggled a little bit early on,
[14:55] Speaker 1: but like I said, had 20-plus points three of the
[14:57] Speaker 1: last four games.
[14:58] Speaker 2: Didn't struggle early on. Just getting back. Just getting back.
[15:01] Speaker 2: Coming back. Not a struggle, but... Don't do that to him.
[15:04] Speaker 2: But coming back from injury. Coming back from injury. He
[15:06] Speaker 2: was on many restrictions. He was coming off the bench.
[15:09] Speaker 2: So let's... I don't like it. At all. For this
[15:18] Speaker 2: reason here, right? Couple reasons. How did it work out
[15:23] Speaker 2: when you got rid of the other guy that helped
[15:24] Speaker 2: you win? How did that shit work out for you?
[15:28] Speaker 5: Right?
[15:29] Speaker 2: Talking about Drew Holiday. How did that shit work out?
[15:32] Speaker 2: Went back, went to a team that wasn't shit, got
[15:35] Speaker 2: bought out, won a championship.
[15:40] Speaker 1: I foresee.
[15:42] Speaker 2: Chris Middleton getting bought out. Coming to the where?
[15:46] Speaker 3: Wherever.
[15:47] Speaker 2: The Lakers would definitely be a great spot for him.
[15:50] Speaker 2: Y'all need another, somebody who can go get their own
[15:52] Speaker 2: bucket that can help out, that's space to floor. How
[15:55] Speaker 2: did that shit work out for him, right? And where,
[16:01] Speaker 2: this is Chris Middleton, what, second team?
[16:04] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Played with the- Yeah, drafted by the Pistons.
[16:06] Speaker 2: Pistons, but it was brief, correct?
[16:08] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
[16:11] Speaker 2: Them ankle surgeries didn't happen. Them ankle injuries didn't happen
[16:14] Speaker 2: because he was out here motherfucking mowing lawns. So he
[16:21] Speaker 2: got those on their watch. So where's the loyalty here, man?
[16:25] Speaker 2: I understand it's a business. But the blood, sweat, and
[16:32] Speaker 2: tears and shit don't mean nothing no more? To these motherfuckers, man?
[16:36] Speaker 5: Mm-mm.
[16:36] Speaker 3: It's all about what you can do for me right now.
[16:38] Speaker 2: And he's playing well right now.
[16:39] Speaker 3: No, for sure. And that's the thing, right? You just
[16:41] Speaker 3: told me the other day.
[16:42] Speaker 1: Just so.
[16:42] Speaker 2: I've been watching it, man. I watched some of the
[16:44] Speaker 2: finals against the Suns. Man, he was making tough shots.
[16:48] Speaker 2: And he's back to that right now, right? What I
[16:50] Speaker 2: was seeing as of late, he's getting back to that.
[16:53] Speaker 1: So....
[16:57] Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that's a bad move. Like y'all said, Kuz
[17:01] Speaker 2: has been down there playing bad basketball for the last
[17:04] Speaker 2: three and a half years, four years. Good luck breaking that.
[17:09] Speaker 1: Good luck.
[17:09] Speaker 2: Kuz has all the 6'10, damn near 6'11, right? He's big, right?
[17:14] Speaker 1: 6'9, 6'10, something like that. I believe so.
[17:17] Speaker 2: This is going to be a big team.
[17:18] Speaker 3: Oh, definitely.
[17:19] Speaker 2: It is, but I'm just like, so good luck with it.
[17:21] Speaker 2: Listed at 6'7, maybe closer to 6'10. Yeah, but I didn't,
[17:24] Speaker 2: I think it's a bad move. 6'10. You bringing guys
[17:29] Speaker 2: in that's not winners. and getting rid of guys as winners. Well,
[17:33] Speaker 2: who's the one that got a ring?
[17:34] Speaker 1: Not that.
[17:35] Speaker 2: He wasn't part of it. He was a fucking part
[17:40] Speaker 2: of it, but let's be honest, man.
[17:41] Speaker 1: It don't count?
[17:42] Speaker 2: He's a part of it.
[17:43] Speaker 3: I mean, he was a.
[17:44] Speaker 1: The hardest ring in NBA history? Yeah, what's that? He
[17:46] Speaker 1: was on the team.
[17:47] Speaker 2: He was on the roster. Yeah, I mean, say it right.
[17:49] Speaker 6: He was on the team, man, but them dogs carried
[17:51] Speaker 6: that team. No, let's not do that. He was on
[17:53] Speaker 6: the team. Is he a champion?
[17:55] Speaker 2: Make you a winner.
[17:56] Speaker 3: No, no, for sure. That's the fact.
[17:58] Speaker 1: What you mean it don't? Okay, go ahead.
[17:59] Speaker 2: That don't make you a winner. Where's the winner?
[18:01] Speaker 1: I don't even want to get into that.
[18:02] Speaker 3: Just continue your point.
[18:04] Speaker 1: You had a good point. He was making a good point.
[18:06] Speaker 2: Jordan Poole came from a winning situation. Look how the
[18:08] Speaker 2: fuck he been playing lately with that bad situation. So
[18:11] Speaker 2: it don't... Being in that bad situation, playing bad basketball
[18:15] Speaker 2: for the last three years, hopefully it works out for Milwaukee.
[18:17] Speaker 2: I hope it does. But Chris Middleton helped you win.
[18:20] Speaker 2: He knows what it is to win when you need
[18:22] Speaker 2: them guys to be there for you, right? Kuz was
[18:25] Speaker 2: on that team. Absolutely he was on that Laker team.
[18:27] Speaker 2: But I just think it's a difference. Oh, no, it's
[18:31] Speaker 2: a big difference. A guy that helped you get it.
[18:33] Speaker 2: Rather than just a piece.
[18:37] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[18:39] Speaker 1: But.
[18:40] Speaker 2: He was just a piece. Chris Middleton played a huge
[18:43] Speaker 2: role when we helped them boys win that final.
[18:45] Speaker 1: Middleton also solid in the playoffs last season.
[18:47] Speaker 3: Yeah, off the one leg.
[18:48] Speaker 2: When them dudes was out.
[18:49] Speaker 3: Yeah, off the one leg.
[18:50] Speaker 1: Playing hurt. Off the one leg. One leg, playing hurt.
[18:53] Speaker 1: So where was that?
[18:54] Speaker 2: See, as of just this past playoffs, mother dudes wasn't available.
[18:58] Speaker 2: He came out playing on fucking one leg. And I
[19:01] Speaker 2: got to get a surge on both my ankles after
[19:03] Speaker 2: the season. And y'all do this to me?
[19:05] Speaker 1: What did they say? What was the statement that they said?
[19:07] Speaker 3: The reason why they traded?
[19:08] Speaker 1: On the Bucs? Yeah. One second, please, Sean. He said,
[19:12] Speaker 1: the Bucs did extensive research on Kuzma in recent days,
[19:14] Speaker 1: and team officials believe Kuzma can help them play fast
[19:17] Speaker 1: on offense and be more effective in transition.
[19:21] Speaker 6: What are two things? Two things Chris Middleton is unable
[19:24] Speaker 6: to do right now. Those two things. Because he's injured.
[19:29] Speaker 6: And he's trying to recover. He's trying to get back
[19:32] Speaker 6: to original form. At 33 years old, your original form
[19:36] Speaker 6: is gone. So you running in transition, you doing what
[19:41] Speaker 6: we want to do with Giannis, we like this. Over here,
[19:44] Speaker 6: he 29, he 6'9, he can shoot, he can pass,
[19:47] Speaker 6: he can jump, he can rebound, he can defend. Like
[19:50] Speaker 6: Chris Middleton, guess what, bro?
[19:52] Speaker 1: Time's up.
[19:53] Speaker 3: Time's up? Yeah. What did they do to Michael Redd?
[19:57] Speaker 1: Huh? What did they do to Michael Redd? Can I
[19:59] Speaker 1: ask you a question? Are we talking about, like, regular
[20:01] Speaker 1: season here or when it counts?
[20:03] Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm about to say in the playoffs.
[20:04] Speaker 1: Well, what counts? To win it all.
[20:05] Speaker 2: To win it all, what you need? This half court basketball.
[20:10] Speaker 1: That they've won it in the last three years.
[20:12] Speaker 3: You need to be able to play.
[20:13] Speaker 1: Have they won it in the last three years?
[20:15] Speaker 3: Why haven't they won it? They got Chris Middleton. Because
[20:17] Speaker 3: of injury.
[20:17] Speaker 1: Because they got Chris Middleton. No, because of injury.
[20:19] Speaker 3: Because their best player was hurt. Because they have Chris Middleton. No,
[20:21] Speaker 3: that's not. Best player was hurt. What did the executive
[20:23] Speaker 3: just say?
[20:24] Speaker 1: Their best player was hurt.
[20:25] Speaker 6: What did the executive just say? Their best player was hurt.
[20:27] Speaker 6: They just said the reasons why we traded was because
[20:29] Speaker 6: we want to play fast and play in transit.
[20:32] Speaker 3: You have to play in the half-court set.
[20:33] Speaker 1: No, that's not how we want to play.
[20:35] Speaker 3: You have to to win it.
[20:36] Speaker 1: That's not how we want to play.
[20:38] Speaker 3: Okay. Well, you have to to win it. To have
[20:39] Speaker 3: to to win it.
[20:40] Speaker 2: So, Chris, guess what you can do? Go get you
[20:42] Speaker 2: a ring, Chris, somewhere else. Go get you another ring
[20:45] Speaker 2: somewhere else, Chris.
[20:46] Speaker 1: For those that don't know, that's the international move-around symbol.
[20:49] Speaker 2: One thing, Chris, go get you another ring somewhere else, brother.
[20:51] Speaker 2: Go get bought out down there.
[20:53] Speaker 6: Every single 33-year-old got to deal with the decision.
[20:56] Speaker 1: Of, man, they might move on from me. I don't
[20:59] Speaker 1: move the way I used to. 33?
[21:03] Speaker 3: I don't move the way I used to. These losers
[21:05] Speaker 3: get younger. That shit looked all right last year in
[21:06] Speaker 3: the playoffs by himself off one leg.
[21:08] Speaker 1: Did y'all win it? Did y'all win it? We didn't
[21:10] Speaker 1: have our best player. I don't want to hear no
[21:13] Speaker 1: fucking excuses. We didn't have our best player. You got
[21:14] Speaker 1: Chris Middleton on one leg? Is that good enough?
[21:17] Speaker 3: No dame, no Giannis. Is that good enough? No dame,
[21:19] Speaker 3: no Giannis. Was that good enough? No dame, no Giannis.
[21:21] Speaker 3: His play was good enough for me.
[21:22] Speaker 1: No dame, no Giannis.
[21:23] Speaker 3: I said, his play was good enough for me.
[21:24] Speaker 2: No dame, no Giannis.
[21:25] Speaker 3: Kyle Kuzma.
[21:26] Speaker 2: No dame, no Giannis.
[21:27] Speaker 3: Kyle Kuzma. No dame, no Giannis. So you're saying Kyle Kuzma,
[21:32] Speaker 3: if Dame and Giannis go out this year... No Dame.
[21:35] Speaker 2: No Giannis.
[21:36] Speaker 1: No Dame, no Giannis.
[21:37] Speaker 3: Don't matter.
[21:38] Speaker 1: No Dame, no Giannis. Loss.
[21:40] Speaker 3: No Dame, no Giannis. We don't have our guys. No Dame,
[21:42] Speaker 3: no Giannis.
[21:43] Speaker 1: We don't have our guys.
[21:44] Speaker 3: Chris Middleton on one leg.
[21:46] Speaker 5: Lashor, right?
[21:46] Speaker 3: Yeah, Lashor. We don't have our guys.
[21:50] Speaker 6: Excuses are like assholes on elbows.
[21:53] Speaker 1: Do you know anybody who had ankle surgery? I did.
[21:57] Speaker 2: Other people have.
[21:58] Speaker 1: Not very useful, I would imagine.
[22:00] Speaker 3: Yeah, not very useful.
[22:01] Speaker 1: Take your time.
[22:02] Speaker 2: You get back.
[22:03] Speaker 1: Steph had ankle surgery early on. He played long. Are
[22:06] Speaker 1: you going to take that risk?
[22:08] Speaker 2: Bad ankle surgery.
[22:09] Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about ankle surgery.
[22:10] Speaker 3: Can Kyle Kuzma do what Chris Middleton did last year
[22:13] Speaker 3: if Dame and Giannis go out this year?
[22:15] Speaker 1: What'd he do? Lose? That's a different middle. What'd he do, lose?
[22:19] Speaker 1: Bilateral ankle surgery this summer. He said he had to
[22:21] Speaker 1: relearn how to walk in the aftermath of that recovery process.
[22:24] Speaker 3: I'm sure after all that caring he was doing in
[22:25] Speaker 3: the playoffs.
[22:26] Speaker 1: That is fair too, Brandon. But, I mean, we just
[22:29] Speaker 1: look at this Buck squad. The biggest issue is Giannis
[22:31] Speaker 1: has been hurt past two playoffs. They're trying to make
[22:33] Speaker 1: all these moves to keep chasing those rings. But if
[22:36] Speaker 1: Giannis is not available... What's the common denominator? It feels
[22:40] Speaker 1: like none of that shit. So let me ask y'all this. So....
[22:44] Speaker 2: So what the statement is and what really needs to
[22:48] Speaker 2: happen don't coexist, right? Why does Giannis get hurt? Because
[22:54] Speaker 2: how he plays, right? Fucking transition all down here all the.
[22:57] Speaker 1: Fucking time, right? How do you need to fucking play?
[23:01] Speaker 1: Half court, half court.
[23:02] Speaker 2: Put this motherfucking half court, put him in the post
[23:03] Speaker 2: and make him slow the fuck down so he's not
[23:05] Speaker 2: rolling his ankle. Slow him the fuck down at times.
[23:08] Speaker 2: He's not effective in that. That's why he plays fast.
[23:12] Speaker 2: He's more effective playing the way he plays. I agree
[23:14] Speaker 2: with you. He's effective in that half court, though.
[23:17] Speaker 3: That's how he rolls his ankles. That half court.
[23:19] Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade, Allen Iverson, they played the way they played.
[23:23] Speaker 3: He's staying in foul trouble.
[23:23] Speaker 2: He's staying in foul trouble when they don't need him
[23:25] Speaker 2: in foul trouble. He's out to three charges a night.
[23:27] Speaker 2: He's rolling ankles. He's motherfucking bumping knees with people.
[23:30] Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
[23:31] Speaker 6: Joel Embiid, all the same guys. John, everybody played. They
[23:35] Speaker 6: played dangerous.
[23:36] Speaker 3: Have you seen Yannis?
[23:37] Speaker 1: He's been playing a lot better.
[23:38] Speaker 2: He's been trying.
[23:38] Speaker 1: Yannis.
[23:39] Speaker 3: He's been playing better, but when it gets down to.
[23:41] Speaker 2: It, you know what he's going to do.
[23:42] Speaker 5: There's no Olympics this summer, and if I'm him, I'm
[23:53] Speaker 5: The rest of the game, you don't have to worry
[23:54] Speaker 5: about none of that. Focused on back to the basket,
[23:58] Speaker 5: swiping through, pull up jumpers.
[24:01] Speaker 1: That's all you have to do all summer. Just focus
[24:04] Speaker 1: on that. Don't touch the rim. You don't need to
[24:07] Speaker 1: dunk shit.
[24:08] Speaker 3: You do that.
[24:08] Speaker 1: Has Greek ever had a running mate? He ever had
[24:12] Speaker 1: a running mate?
[24:13] Speaker 3: Greek? He got one now.
[24:16] Speaker 1: Right. He never had one before, to be honest. Wait,
[24:18] Speaker 1: Middleton wasn't one?
[24:19] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[24:19] Speaker 6: Greek never had a running mate.
[24:22] Speaker 1: Oh, you mean running with him? Running with him. Never
[24:24] Speaker 1: had nobody running with him.
[24:26] Speaker 2: And he ain't going to have nobody running with him.
[24:28] Speaker 2: It's like having somebody go out there and keep up
[24:30] Speaker 2: with Russ. Like, it ain't going to happen.
[24:33] Speaker 1: Hey, we playing fast. Hey, Dame, pitch your heads all day.
[24:37] Speaker 1: Get out, go.
[24:38] Speaker 2: That man getting a rebound.
[24:39] Speaker 3: But that shit don't last 48 minutes. Shit don't last
[24:43] Speaker 3: 48 minutes.
[24:44] Speaker 2: That man getting the rebound. Ain't nobody kicking the ball
[24:46] Speaker 2: to him. He getting that bitch and pushing him himself.
[24:49] Speaker 3: That too. Go.
[24:51] Speaker 1: Move with it.
[24:51] Speaker 3: Foul trouble. Foul trouble.
[24:53] Speaker 1: Injury.
[24:54] Speaker 6: You got Chris Middleton with the ball going 68. I
[24:56] Speaker 6: need somebody that can.
[24:57] Speaker 1: Go 83, 85.
[24:59] Speaker 2: Running over motherfuckers and rolling ankles.
[25:01] Speaker 3: They ain't go 83. Yeah, but Chris doing 67.
[25:05] Speaker 1: We got to get off that. We need a.
[25:07] Speaker 3: 75 at least. Man, shit, I thought he was going
[25:10] Speaker 3: to be an 80 by the time the postseason comes. No,
[25:13] Speaker 3: he's still 72. By the time the postseason comes.
[25:16] Speaker 1: You doing that shit in the hoop, it don't matter.
[25:19] Speaker 3: That shit going in, that shit was water.
[25:21] Speaker 1: You doing that fast in the hoop, that shit smoking.
[25:23] Speaker 1: If you can keep up, you can keep up.
[25:25] Speaker 6: If you doing 80, you can do 80. But if
[25:28] Speaker 6: you in a Mercedes and you can't do 60, get
[25:30] Speaker 6: off that.
[25:31] Speaker 3: Chris Milliton averaging 25 minutes and was having... What, 24,
[25:35] Speaker 3: 23 points? So, like, it's shooting 70% from the field.
[25:38] Speaker 2: What's Chris Middleton's contract?
[25:40] Speaker 1: He has one year left on his player option this
[25:42] Speaker 1: summer for $ 34 million.
[25:46] Speaker 6: Yeah, they're going to buy him out. Yeah, they're going
[25:48] Speaker 6: to buy him out. There's talks about potential buyout. There's
[25:52] Speaker 6: talks about you.
[25:53] Speaker 2: Have to agree. Because this year is prorated already.
[25:56] Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was making $ 32 million this year.
[25:59] Speaker 2: So that's prorated already.
[26:00] Speaker 1: $ 34 million player option this summer. Yeah, they do that. Yeah,
[26:03] Speaker 1: buy that out. Talks about a potential buyout. Talks about
[26:05] Speaker 1: the Wiz might keep him. What are you talking about?
[26:08] Speaker 1: Lakers fans, get your hopes up. You want me, what, 60-something?
[26:12] Speaker 1: I think less than that now, obviously.
[26:14] Speaker 2: You going to give me, what, 40?
[26:16] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[26:16] Speaker 2: Give me 40, I'll walk?
[26:17] Speaker 1: Yeah. Lakers fans, I know you got your hopes up,
[26:20] Speaker 1: but based on the way the CBA is structured right now,
[26:23] Speaker 1: Lakers would have to come up off of.
[26:24] Speaker 2: I think, $ 9 million.
[26:25] Speaker 1: And I can go wherever I want? Almost. There's a
[26:29] Speaker 1: lot of teams with this new CBA that wouldn't be
[26:31] Speaker 1: able to sign him. I can sign him for a
[26:33] Speaker 1: million dollars. But the way that the aprons are set up. Yo,
[26:36] Speaker 1: I know. I'm just telling you.
[26:37] Speaker 2: Somebody get it. Somebody make a move.
[26:39] Speaker 3: Wait, wait, you.
[26:40] Speaker 2: Buy me out, and then I have to sit? Is
[26:42] Speaker 2: it still that rule? No, that's amnesty.
[26:44] Speaker 5: Where you get amnesty and you have to sit and, like,
[26:47] Speaker 5: wait in here for 10 days and make sure nobody.
[26:48] Speaker 1: But it's like second apron teams can't grab guys in
[26:51] Speaker 1: the biomarker.
[26:52] Speaker 2: Second apron.
[26:53] Speaker 1: People are over that second apron. I think first apron teams,
[26:55] Speaker 1: it has to be some... I ain't no mathematician, but... So, like,
[27:00] Speaker 1: the Lakers, as it stands right now, would have to
[27:02] Speaker 1: make another move to free up some bread if they
[27:03] Speaker 1: wanted to bring somebody.
[27:04] Speaker 2: Like Millard in there. Even if you don't ask for
[27:06] Speaker 2: no bread? And they would.
[27:08] Speaker 6: That's... Oh, so it's almost like a trade. Almost like
[27:11] Speaker 6: they would force somebody.
[27:12] Speaker 1: Out in order to bring him.
[27:14] Speaker 6: So he can't just sign with somebody right now.
[27:17] Speaker 1: You have to move something. I think they'd have to
[27:19] Speaker 1: create close to like $ 10 million in cap space. Just
[27:21] Speaker 1: to be able to sign him for whatever.
[27:23] Speaker 3: That's better, bro. That's better.
[27:25] Speaker 5: I can't sign him for vet mill? I got to
[27:27] Speaker 5: move $ 10 million to sign him for a million?
[27:28] Speaker 6: You got to move something. You got to move something.
[27:31] Speaker 6: You got to move something. Don't say it, Gil.
[27:33] Speaker 3: I move out $ 10 million, sign somebody for.
[27:35] Speaker 1: $ 1 million.
[27:39] Speaker 2: Which relieves $ 9 million?
[27:40] Speaker 3: Yep.
[27:41] Speaker 1: Yep.
[27:42] Speaker 3: You can definitely maneuver that.
[27:45] Speaker 1: You can.
[27:45] Speaker 6: I don't know how you're thinking, but I like that.
[27:48] Speaker 3: I like that.
[27:49] Speaker 1: You're signing for the vet men. Yeah, signing for the
[27:51] Speaker 1: vet men. You don't give a fuck. But there's some things,
[27:53] Speaker 1: and that's why you're seeing all these crazy-ass trades now.
[27:55] Speaker 1: But that's the same as what you were saying about
[27:56] Speaker 1: the LeBron thing.
[27:57] Speaker 6: If LeBron went into free agency, you can't sign him
[28:00] Speaker 6: for the million because his value's too high.
[28:04] Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to investigate that bullshit.
[28:07] Speaker 1: A lot of teams are freeing up cap space right now, though.
[28:09] Speaker 1: And as we pointed out before, after the Drew Holiday
[28:11] Speaker 1: situation went down, he wasn't going to stay in Portland.
[28:14] Speaker 3: What makes sense for Chris Middleton, though?
[28:16] Speaker 1: What team actually makes sense for him?
[28:18] Speaker 3: A contender. Chicago? No, no, no.
[28:21] Speaker 1: You're saying contender.
[28:22] Speaker 2: He's going somewhere to win.
[28:23] Speaker 6: Who's a contender that has an open shooting guard spot?
[28:26] Speaker 2: He's 32.
[28:27] Speaker 1: What contender has an open spot? Or a backup shooting
[28:30] Speaker 1: guard spot if you just want to keep it real.
[28:31] Speaker 2: People that need some help.
[28:33] Speaker 3: We, us, Lakers.
[28:34] Speaker 2: Cleveland. Nah.
[28:38] Speaker 3: They not moving. They got their rotation solidified. What's over there? Miami?
[28:42] Speaker 5: What's over there in Miami? I mean, they're not going
[28:45] Speaker 5: to be ready.
[28:46] Speaker 1: I think the Lakers.
[28:48] Speaker 3: If you're trying to win. Orlando?
[28:49] Speaker 2: What about Golden State?
[28:50] Speaker 3: What about Orlando?
[28:51] Speaker 2: Who the fuck is Golden State's shooting guard?
[28:52] Speaker 3: Golden State.
[28:54] Speaker 1: They got Wiggins. Buddy and Wiggins. But Buddy comes off
[28:58] Speaker 1: the bench. Wiggins is a three. Who's their shooting guard? Nah,
[29:01] Speaker 1: he comes off. He's deep on that bench. Who the
[29:04] Speaker 1: fuck is that? Yeah, but.
[29:06] Speaker 3: Schroeder.
[29:06] Speaker 1: Oh, Schroeder. Oh, yeah, he can go. In light of
[29:10] Speaker 1: Schroeder's recent comments comparing the NBA to slavery.
[29:13] Speaker 6: Yeah, you can definitely pick up Middleton, bring in KD.
[29:18] Speaker 1: But don't they want to play fast, too? No.
[29:21] Speaker 6: KD don't play fast. The chat is saying the Mavs.
[29:27] Speaker 6: They already got... Push what? They got Spencer. They got
[29:31] Speaker 6: Spencer Dinwiddie. They got a lot of guards.
[29:33] Speaker 1: They got enough space.
[29:34] Speaker 2: They got a lot of guards.
[29:35] Speaker 1: Whatever. We want more.
[29:36] Speaker 3: Yeah, but can them guards score like him?
[29:37] Speaker 5: No.
[29:39] Speaker 3: That's the thing.
[29:39] Speaker 1: Who would you move? You can move off Josh Green.
[29:41] Speaker 3: You can move off Josh Green and get him.
[29:44] Speaker 2: We'll see.
[29:45] Speaker 3: Dante Exum? Move off Dante Exum?
[29:47] Speaker 2: He definitely not. I would hope he didn't stay in Washington, bro.
[29:50] Speaker 3: Nah, he not stay in Washington. It's a graveyard. It's
[29:55] Speaker 3: a cemetery over there.
[29:57] Speaker 1: Where? Lake Joe.
[29:58] Speaker 3: Washington.
[29:59] Speaker 1: Oh. Didn't make sense. Get on the phone, Rob. We
[30:02] Speaker 1: know you're not done yet. Denver don't make sense? I
[30:06] Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, Jokic likes Rush.
[30:10] Speaker 3: Shoe guard?
[30:11] Speaker 2: Laker likes Rush. Rush in that starting lineup.
[30:14] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[30:15] Speaker 1: Well, Rush playing the one, right?
[30:17] Speaker 5: Ooh.
[30:18] Speaker 2: Just playing Russ.
[30:18] Speaker 3: He's just playing Russ.
[30:19] Speaker 2: Russ about Russ. Russ playing Russ.
[30:22] Speaker 1: Russ playing Russ.
[30:23] Speaker 2: Just say guard.
[30:24] Speaker 1: Athlete.
[30:25] Speaker 6: Russ playing his position. But bringing Chris Holt. Chris Holt,
[30:27] Speaker 6: Chris Miller over there with Joker. He ain't got to
[30:30] Speaker 6: move a lot.
[30:30] Speaker 1: Space.
[30:31] Speaker 3: Cut. Shoot. No, no, no.
[30:35] Speaker 1: I mean, bring him off the bench. That ain't shit.
[30:37] Speaker 3: Post up.
[30:38] Speaker 1: Isos.
[30:39] Speaker 3: He's got to do a lot.
[30:40] Speaker 6: That's probably the only one with the team that ain't
[30:41] Speaker 6: going to move a lot. That's playoff contention.
[30:44] Speaker 1: All right, well.
[30:47] Speaker 3: To my bucks, man. Just keep... Stay strong.
[30:50] Speaker 1: How much you think Kuz moves the needle for the Bucks?
[30:53] Speaker 3: I mean, he is younger. So if they do want
[30:55] Speaker 3: to run and that's the thing, then let's run. Let's
[30:57] Speaker 3: see what happens. He is a big body, too, though.
[30:59] Speaker 1: So.
[31:00] Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.
[31:01] Speaker 3: Like, he is, like, we... He'll go rebound, do what
[31:05] Speaker 3: Brooke not doing. He'll go rebound.
[31:09] Speaker 2: And then Bobby Portis and him.
[31:13] Speaker 1: And Giannis... Makes you wonder.
[31:15] Speaker 3: You can put Giannis at the five. You can put.
[31:17] Speaker 2: Giannis at the five.
[31:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, Giannis at the five.
[31:20] Speaker 3: You can put Giannis at the five and put Bobby
[31:22] Speaker 3: at the four. Yeah, either one of them. Who's at
[31:25] Speaker 3: the three-four? Three-four.
[31:26] Speaker 2: That shit is spread.
[31:27] Speaker 3: You can put Dirty Bird at the two. With the green?
[31:29] Speaker 3: What's the green? AJ Green? You can put Dirty Bird
[31:31] Speaker 3: at the two and then what's the name at the three?
[31:33] Speaker 2: Floor still spread.
[31:34] Speaker 1: Goddamn at the one?
[31:34] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
[31:36] Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I said, Kuz averaging 15-6 rebounds, three assists
[31:39] Speaker 1: this season, but his average... Wait, what? What? Hold on,
[31:43] Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on. He averaging what? 15.6 rebounds,
[31:48] Speaker 1: three assists this season. Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
[31:53] Speaker 1: But average 20.7 rebounds, four assists in his three and
[31:55] Speaker 1: a half seasons.
[31:56] Speaker 6: He was trying to play basketball with him. He was like,
[31:59] Speaker 6: I was trying to buy into the system. He was like,
[32:01] Speaker 6: fuck all that. He just said that, too. He was like, man,
[32:04] Speaker 6: I've been off the season. How many wins they had?
[32:06] Speaker 6: This season, they were 8-41, Gil.
[32:08] Speaker 3: They haven't been doing nothing. There's been a lot of
[32:10] Speaker 3: losing the last couple of years.
[32:11] Speaker 1: The opposite of hooping.
[32:12] Speaker 3: Like, you're going to have to flip the switch, like... Yeah, like,
[32:15] Speaker 3: you're going to have to flip the switch ASAP.
[32:18] Speaker 1: Like, who did it get over there?
[32:22] Speaker 2: For what?
[32:23] Speaker 5: For him to average 15. Like, who's over there that's
[32:26] Speaker 5: taking all these shots?
[32:28] Speaker 3: What you mean?
[32:28] Speaker 1: Pool.
[32:29] Speaker 6: They only average in 98 points a game. They ain't
[32:31] Speaker 6: really doing nothing.
[32:32] Speaker 7: They ain't... Not what you would call a proficient basketball player.
[32:36] Speaker 1: But pooling him, like... Nobody's averaging over 20. So, pool
[32:40] Speaker 1: leading score right now at 20 points per game. Who's
[32:42] Speaker 1: with second with 15 points? It's like a EuroLeague team.
[32:45] Speaker 3: Damn.
[32:46] Speaker 1: Second and 15 down and shit.
[32:50] Speaker 6: Sound like 2001. Yeah, Middleton came off the bench with 13.
[32:52] Speaker 6: That's why Milwaukee fans are sick.
[32:54] Speaker 1: He missed motherfucking 25 games. Damn! Hey, how come basketball
[32:57] Speaker 1: ain't playing over there?
[32:58] Speaker 2: Not winning basketball.
[32:59] Speaker 1: That five pass shit. Kuz just got to flip the
[33:11] Speaker 1: switch ASAP, dog. They doing old UCLA cut. They playing
[33:16] Speaker 1: WNBA basketball.
[33:17] Speaker 3: You don't even know who you passing to. Pop out.
[33:20] Speaker 1: Who is he?
[33:21] Speaker 3: Pin down.
[33:22] Speaker 1: Pin down.
[33:23] Speaker 3: Pin down.
[33:24] Speaker 1: Street. Cut. What's wrong with UCLA?
[33:26] Speaker 2: L cut.
[33:27] Speaker 3: Who's the coach over there?
[33:28] Speaker 1: UCLA cut was when you didn't have no talent.
[33:29] Speaker 3: You just.
[33:31] Speaker 1: Just hope for the defense to get tired.
[33:33] Speaker 3: Yeah, you can lay up.
[33:34] Speaker 1: Or you can lay a little backdoor, a little club.
[33:36] Speaker 1: You look like you can play. You look like you
[33:38] Speaker 1: can play. Hey, you got another layup?
[33:39] Speaker 3: Another one? You should have jump shot. They'd be mad
[33:42] Speaker 3: as hell.
[33:42] Speaker 2: Oh, shit.
[33:43] Speaker 3: No layup?
[33:44] Speaker 1: I can verify.
[33:45] Speaker 3: Curl all the way.
[33:46] Speaker 1: Time out.
[33:46] Speaker 2: Take it all the way to the back. To the
[33:48] Speaker 2: middle of the rim. No, I'm not taking this shit.
[33:50] Speaker 2: I went to the middle of the rim this time.
[33:51] Speaker 3: Climb out.
[33:52] Speaker 1: Climb out.
[33:52] Speaker 3: We done ran this shit seven times.
[33:53] Speaker 1: They ain't threw it not one. So sign. Get Kenyon.
[33:55] Speaker 1: Get him. Great for college. Great for college. Winning recipe
[33:59] Speaker 1: for college. We ran this 12 times. I didn't run
[34:00] Speaker 1: one time.
[34:01] Speaker 3: I went to the middle.
[34:02] Speaker 1: Of the rim every time to put my head under
[34:04] Speaker 1: the net. Every time.
[34:05] Speaker 3: And nobody would have told me.
[34:07] Speaker 1: Don't wait. I'm an athlete, right? Shit.
[34:09] Speaker 3: We're going to talk about more moves going on.
[34:11] Speaker 1: But it just seems, obviously, with this first apron, second apron,
[34:14] Speaker 1: new CBA, you're just seeing a lot of wild trades
[34:16] Speaker 1: out there. And it feels like... This trade deadline in particular,
[34:20] Speaker 1: Luka obviously already kick-started it with one of the biggest
[34:23] Speaker 1: trades in mid-season history, if not the biggest. We're going
[34:25] Speaker 1: to see a lot of wild shit. If you take
[34:27] Speaker 1: Luka out, it ain't that wild.
[34:28] Speaker 3: What?
[34:29] Speaker 2: If you take Luka out, it ain't that wild.
[34:33] Speaker 3: I mean, yeah. We don't know what else is coming up.
[34:35] Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
[34:36] Speaker 1: But if we have, we can take a look.
[34:37] Speaker 2: Like you always like to say, Gil.
[34:39] Speaker 3: Like you like to.
[34:39] Speaker 1: Say, we can't. We thought Jimmy Butler, as soon as
[34:42] Speaker 1: free age, I thought he would be the first motherfucker
[34:44] Speaker 1: to go, but then... Now he's... Now he got to
[34:47] Speaker 1: change his tune. They're sitting there like this, like, hey,
[34:49] Speaker 1: you looking for... Is Jimmy on the market?
[34:53] Speaker 3: Nah, he in jail.
[34:54] Speaker 2: He doing a nine to five.
[34:57] Speaker 3: He got five to nine over here.
[34:59] Speaker 1: We not interested. Click, click. Listen, the GMs, they got
[35:03] Speaker 1: their power back, though. If I'm a young player, I'll
[35:05] Speaker 1: be a little worried.
[35:06] Speaker 3: Because you could be next. Out here being cocky. All right.
[35:11] Speaker 3: All right.
[35:11] Speaker 1: Walk around like you just bought that house.
[35:13] Speaker 3: They traded Luka like that. You just bought that house.
[35:17] Speaker 1: I mean, we talking like he went to a market that.
[35:20] Speaker 2: Just makes him mad.
[35:22] Speaker 3: Just in general, though, that's like he's the face of the, like,
[35:25] Speaker 3: he's one of the best top three players in the league.
[35:27] Speaker 3: And you just, yeah, all right.
[35:29] Speaker 1: Now he's about to be in the biggest market.
[35:31] Speaker 2: No, I know.
[35:32] Speaker 3: I mean, they both got, both teams got better. I'm
[35:34] Speaker 3: just saying, as a young player, like, because there's so
[35:37] Speaker 3: many good young players, everybody's not going to, like, somebody
[35:40] Speaker 3: else that's a young player that's good is going to
[35:43] Speaker 3: be in this situation. We're going to be like, damn,
[35:45] Speaker 3: but we already saw it coming.
[35:46] Speaker 5: If you, if you, Ja or LaMelo and your team
[35:49] Speaker 5: decide to send you to New York, trust me.
[35:53] Speaker 3: Oh, I loved, I loved it here. And then get there,
[35:57] Speaker 3: you the man. No, for sure.
[35:58] Speaker 1: I mean, we touched on it yesterday, though. It's the
[36:01] Speaker 1: relationship shit. Right?
[36:03] Speaker 6: If it's preordained for somebody to make this move 10,
[36:06] Speaker 6: five years down the line, and we know we got
[36:09] Speaker 6: the picks lined up for this pick, me and Nico
[36:12] Speaker 6: can have a conversation and say, hey, man, 2024, we're
[36:17] Speaker 6: going to revisit this conversation because.
[36:19] Speaker 3: We're going to be available to make this happen. Right?
[36:22] Speaker 3: Certain players, certain.
[36:23] Speaker 6: Teams, man, when we get into free agency, we're going
[36:25] Speaker 6: to have certain conversations that motherfuckers don't believe that ever
[36:28] Speaker 6: was supposed to happen. So how are we going to say, like,
[36:32] Speaker 6: this is not going to continue to happen? This can
[36:34] Speaker 6: be a trend, a new trend in the NBA. Secret conversations. Oh,
[36:38] Speaker 6: y'all think y'all relationship with me don't matter? You better
[36:41] Speaker 6: smile when you're around me, boy. You better smile when
[36:44] Speaker 6: you're around me.
[36:46] Speaker 3: You can be out here.
[36:47] Speaker 1: But it don't hurt the player. No, I mean, no,
[36:49] Speaker 1: it don't hurt.
[36:49] Speaker 3: But it's just, I mean, still as a player, like,
[36:52] Speaker 3: you getting traded is just still just like, for a
[36:54] Speaker 3: team that you, like, got drafted to, you still feel
[36:57] Speaker 3: the weight.
[36:57] Speaker 1: Like, I don't care.
[36:58] Speaker 3: It's just like, you're just getting traded.
[36:59] Speaker 1: You still get your money.
[37:01] Speaker 2: You're gonna still perform. The pressure's on Nico.
[37:04] Speaker 1: If it don't work out for them, if they lose
[37:06] Speaker 1: or something happens, he's fired. He's fired for sure.
[37:10] Speaker 2: I mean, he's getting fired. He has a 90% chance
[37:12] Speaker 2: of getting fired.
[37:13] Speaker 1: Either way it go. Unless they agree.
[37:16] Speaker 2: Either way it go. But why would they fire?
[37:19] Speaker 1: Even if they win?
[37:20] Speaker 3: But why would they fire?
[37:21] Speaker 1: I know I'm going to jail, right? I got 10
[37:23] Speaker 1: bricks sitting over there.
[37:24] Speaker 2: Even if they win?
[37:26] Speaker 1: But they agreed to it.
[37:27] Speaker 3: Eventually.
[37:28] Speaker 1: Why would they fire?
[37:30] Speaker 2: Because there's going to be, because.
[37:31] Speaker 1: What's going to happen. If we get another one. You
[37:33] Speaker 1: win the championship. Listen, Bob Myers walked away.
[37:37] Speaker 3: Because he saw what was coming. He knew. Mark Cuban
[37:40] Speaker 3: walked away because he seen what was coming.
[37:42] Speaker 6: He set the deal up. This was supposed to be done.
[37:44] Speaker 6: He just didn't want to blame. That's why he stepped away.
[37:47] Speaker 1: Nah.
[37:48] Speaker 3: Hell nah. You don't think the writer was on the wall?
[37:51] Speaker 1: I told y'all the writer was on the wall.
[37:53] Speaker 6: If Mark Cuban was in office, that is.
[37:54] Speaker 1: I can only say so much. If Mark Cuban was
[37:56] Speaker 1: in office, Nico would be fired. No, I can only say...
[37:59] Speaker 1: Coming to my office with that shit. Who the hell?
[38:02] Speaker 3: Who the fuck?
[38:02] Speaker 1: Who did Mark Cuban say? Who did Mark Cuban say
[38:04] Speaker 1: the only person was untouchable?
[38:06] Speaker 3: Luca.
[38:07] Speaker 6: Why don't you think he would make that strong claim?
[38:11] Speaker 6: Because while I'm here, while I'm here, don't you even
[38:15] Speaker 6: think about asking that question.
[38:17] Speaker 1: I ain't here no more. Go ahead and make this deal.
[38:20] Speaker 1: Remember I told y'all he's going to be available when
[38:22] Speaker 1: I'm gone.
[38:23] Speaker 3: No way. No way.
[38:24] Speaker 1: No way.
[38:26] Speaker 3: Make this deal happen and he come out and say,
[38:28] Speaker 3: I ain't know nothing about it. Shit.
[38:32] Speaker 1: They got conversations about it. We knew this.
[38:34] Speaker 6: This is 2021. They talked about it. We already talked
[38:37] Speaker 6: about Luka to the Lakers in 2021. It was a conversation.
[38:44] Speaker 5: You just can't keep your job on this one. And
[38:47] Speaker 5: it's just... I mean, you win a championship, right? Kyrie leaves,
[38:52] Speaker 5: your team goes to shit. Now you don't have no future.
[38:55] Speaker 2: You're fired.
[38:56] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[38:56] Speaker 5: Right?
[38:56] Speaker 1: This is going.
[38:57] Speaker 2: This comes right back at you.
[38:58] Speaker 3: Damn, if we had Luka.
[38:59] Speaker 1: The pressure's on Kyrie, too, though. Because... Huh?
[39:02] Speaker 2: Because Lakers is winning the.
[39:04] Speaker 5: Luka's winning the championship as an L.A.
[39:06] Speaker 1: That's 100%. So... Okay.
[39:09] Speaker 5: You can say, ha-ha, today, he's still going to match it,
[39:12] Speaker 5: no matter what.
[39:13] Speaker 1: That organization is going to build a championship around him.
[39:16] Speaker 2: Okay.
[39:16] Speaker 8: Right?
[39:17] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
[39:18] Speaker 1: Dallas, you have to win a championship in the next
[39:21] Speaker 1: two years.
[39:22] Speaker 3: Yep. Or you're fired. Yeah, three to four.
[39:24] Speaker 2: No, you don't have four years.
[39:25] Speaker 1: He said three to four.
[39:27] Speaker 6: He said, I got three to four years to make
[39:28] Speaker 6: this happen.
[39:29] Speaker 3: I ain't got 10 years. I mean, listen, but for him.
[39:31] Speaker 1: You don't... Kyrie?
[39:32] Speaker 2: I mean, does Kyrie have 10 years?
[39:34] Speaker 1: You only got.
[39:35] Speaker 2: But does Kyrie have 10 years?
[39:36] Speaker 3: They both win it together.
[39:37] Speaker 1: Him and Nico win it together. He has a player
[39:38] Speaker 1: option this summer. He has a player option this summer.
[39:41] Speaker 1: So you.
[39:41] Speaker 6: I mean, he doubled down on Ky. He doubled down
[39:45] Speaker 6: on Kai. He said, man, if I'm going, is this
[39:47] Speaker 6: going to be on my name? I'm doubling down on this.
[39:49] Speaker 2: Kai is the type that'd be like, I grew up
[39:54] Speaker 2: with LeBron.
[39:56] Speaker 1: Nah, no way. I don't know if you know where
[39:59] Speaker 1: his house, where's his house? No way. Malibu, huh? Kyrie's
[40:04] Speaker 1: a man of integrity.
[40:05] Speaker 3: Kyrie's a man of integrity. He would never do such
[40:08] Speaker 3: a thing.
[40:09] Speaker 1: There's never been situations out here recently. I just wanted
[40:11] Speaker 1: to make sure he's still here.
[40:12] Speaker 2: Oh, he's just here.
[40:13] Speaker 1: Oh, no.
[40:13] Speaker 2: He's just here.
[40:14] Speaker 1: Okay.
[40:14] Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just here.
[40:15] Speaker 1: He's looking down.
[40:16] Speaker 3: It don't even rain. He's looking down on us.
[40:18] Speaker 1: Because I would have been in front of his chair
[40:20] Speaker 1: with the hose for him. I got you.
[40:21] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how hot he is.
[40:23] Speaker 1: It's moisture out that way. Kyra, you come to the Lakers.
[40:26] Speaker 1: We'll be at the crib with the hose for you.
[40:28] Speaker 1: It's not 100% Luca. All right.
[40:30] Speaker 2: Okay.
[40:32] Speaker 1: H-O-S-E, Steve. As you know, I'm a man of God.
[40:34] Speaker 1: I read the Bible diligently. Water hose. Not Hyundai.
[40:41] Speaker 3: House.
[40:42] Speaker 1: It's a hell of a risk, though.
[40:44] Speaker 5: 100% Luka wins the championship.
[40:47] Speaker 1: No, in his career, but in the next four.
[40:50] Speaker 3: Okay, in the next three or four years, what's the
[40:52] Speaker 3: possibility of Dallas winning? Higher or lower?
[40:57] Speaker 2: Dallas winning what?
[40:58] Speaker 3: Championship. They got championship.
[41:00] Speaker 1: Higher. Higher.
[41:01] Speaker 3: I still 51-49.
[41:01] Speaker 2: It's higher.
[41:02] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
[41:03] Speaker 5: Klay, Kyrie....
[41:08] Speaker 3: AD, all championship experience.
[41:10] Speaker 5: Look, if they win one, he can win one. That
[41:13] Speaker 5: does not secure his job. You win one right now.
[41:17] Speaker 6: Is he looking for job security at this point? If
[41:20] Speaker 6: I can get me a chip and get out of here, nigga,
[41:23] Speaker 6: I'll go somewhere else to show.
[41:24] Speaker 3: And that's on my resume. And then I come to L.A.
[41:26] Speaker 1: That's where I'm coming. I'm coming to L.A., yeah. And
[41:28] Speaker 1: he's going to come right here with Rob. As soon
[41:31] Speaker 1: as he gets that.
[41:32] Speaker 2: Chip and they fire him.
[41:33] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what's going to happen.
[41:35] Speaker 1: Like, listen, I had to do what I had to do.
[41:37] Speaker 3: You did the deal. I mean, I.
[41:41] Speaker 1: Hey, they tripping over here. We did the deal. It's time.
[41:44] Speaker 1: I had to do what I had to do.
[41:45] Speaker 3: I convinced him we could trade Luca.
[41:47] Speaker 1: I said what up, though. Yeah, tell him I said
[41:49] Speaker 1: what up, though.
[41:50] Speaker 2: I get fired.
[41:51] Speaker 3: I love people.
[41:52] Speaker 1: I get fired. Hey, man. What's up, Rob?
[41:55] Speaker 3: You need an assistant? Yeah.
[41:57] Speaker 1: He's just going upstairs to become the president.
[42:00] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Man, come on, man.
[42:02] Speaker 1: It's all laid out. Y'all know how it go. God
[42:04] Speaker 1: is good. Y'all know how it go. Nico said it.
[42:06] Speaker 1: He laid it out. I got three, four years left. Man,
[42:09] Speaker 1: I'm not about to be wasting it on no 10-year plan. Listen,
[42:11] Speaker 1: they about to be making a run, Dallas. He said,
[42:12] Speaker 1: I will not be here in 10 years. Nah, no
[42:14] Speaker 1: 10-year plan for me. And who knows if the Mavs
[42:17] Speaker 1: will be in Dallas in 10 years based on the way.
[42:19] Speaker 3: The way that Mark be talking.
[42:20] Speaker 1: Yeah, some reports on the new ownership and what they
[42:22] Speaker 1: got up their sleeve, but... Oh. Go to Vegas. Go
[42:26] Speaker 1: to Vegas. Yep, they all make it. Sands Corporation, Bill.
[42:28] Speaker 3: Oh, it all makes sense.
[42:29] Speaker 1: It all makes sense. Yeah, let me get myself out
[42:31] Speaker 1: of here. Writing's on the wall, man. Yeah, let me
[42:34] Speaker 1: get myself out of here.
[42:35] Speaker 3: Mark made that deal to.
[42:37] Speaker 6: recirculate Dallas in 2021.
[42:38] Speaker 1: He was making that move then. So trying to put
[42:41] Speaker 1: a casino in the state won't allow it, and they're
[42:43] Speaker 1: basically saying, okay.
[42:43] Speaker 6: All right.
[42:44] Speaker 1: We're going to move this team. Let's take the value
[42:46] Speaker 1: of this franchise and see what y'all talk about now.
[42:48] Speaker 1: A casino in our state. So let's get off Luca.
[42:51] Speaker 1: Pray for Mavs fans. Okay, I know we have not
[42:53] Speaker 1: always seen eye to eye, but I hope it works
[42:55] Speaker 1: out for y'all. But let's keep this thing moving. So
[42:58] Speaker 1: after missing the last 15 games while dealing with knee swelling,
[43:00] Speaker 1: former MVP Joel Embiid made his return to the court
[43:03] Speaker 1: as the Sixers took on the Lucullus Mavs in Philly
[43:06] Speaker 1: Tuesday night. But despite missing more than a month, the
[43:09] Speaker 1: process gave Sixers fans reason for cautious optimism. They can
[43:13] Speaker 1: still salvage this season. Let's take a look at some
[43:15] Speaker 1: of the highlights. So, Embiid played 36 minutes, came through
[43:20] Speaker 1: with a triple-double, 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 12
[43:22] Speaker 1: for 23 from the field, but just 4 for 9
[43:25] Speaker 1: from the line. Oh, Tyrese Maxey did his thing as well.
[43:32] Speaker 1: Had his sixth straight 30-point game. 33 points on 13-22 shooting,
[43:37] Speaker 1: along with 13 assists. Gershon Yabusele added 19 points in
[43:42] Speaker 1: eight boards. An unrafted rookie, Justin Edwards, had 16 points
[43:45] Speaker 1: in his fifth straight start. Kyrie played his first game
[43:47] Speaker 1: since the Luka trade. Showed he could still be a
[43:49] Speaker 1: number one option. He had 34 points, nine boards, and
[43:51] Speaker 1: four dimes. Najee Marshall had 19 points, five rebounds, and
[43:55] Speaker 1: four assists off the bench.
[43:56] Speaker 2: And Max Christie.
[43:57] Speaker 1: Was solid in his debut with the Mavs with 15 points,
[44:00] Speaker 1: nine rebounds, hitting all four of his three-point attempts despite
[44:03] Speaker 1: just getting with the team Christie was in late in
[44:05] Speaker 1: the game as the Mavs tried to get the win,
[44:08] Speaker 1: but Embiid said to Naina, can you... Oh, okay. Just,
[44:13] Speaker 1: you know, doing my thing, but... So your first game back...
[44:19] Speaker 1: I already know what you're gonna say.
[44:21] Speaker 2: You go out and play this man 36 minutes, man? See,
[44:25] Speaker 2: this is the issue, dawg.
[44:29] Speaker 1: Like, this is an issue.
[44:31] Speaker 3: You got a back-to-back.
[44:32] Speaker 2: You know he ain't gonna play tonight. He coming back.
[44:35] Speaker 2: What's wrong with 25 minutes? What's wrong with 20 minutes?
[44:39] Speaker 3: You don't get a triple?
[44:40] Speaker 1: It's fine.
[44:41] Speaker 2: Fuck them numbers.
[44:41] Speaker 1: Numbers don't matter now. Numbers don't matter at this point.
[44:46] Speaker 1: 15 games. Was out for more than a month. 31 days,
[44:49] Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. You come out right away, 36 minutes.
[44:52] Speaker 2: Out the gate.
[44:54] Speaker 3: Come on, man. So, game went down to the wire.
[44:56] Speaker 3: Sixers held on to get the win.
[44:58] Speaker 2: They are 8-6.
[44:59] Speaker 1: With Embiid in the lineup this season, five and two
[45:01] Speaker 1: in their last seven games. So Embiid has only played
[45:04] Speaker 1: 14 games this season. He's averaging 25 points, eight rebounds,
[45:07] Speaker 1: four assists. Sixers currently 11th in the East, but only
[45:11] Speaker 1: four and a half games behind the Pistons for the
[45:13] Speaker 1: sixth spot. That's how tight the Eastern Conference is right now. But, K,
[45:18] Speaker 1: I'll ask you first. How much faith should the Sixers
[45:20] Speaker 1: have in Embiid moving forward this season?
[45:22] Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck, personally.
[45:24] Speaker 1: I understand.
[45:25] Speaker 2: At this point.
[45:26] Speaker 1: We are no longer, so.
[45:28] Speaker 2: Who gives a fuck what they're doing?
[45:29] Speaker 1: Are we waiving the no-bull agreement?
[45:32] Speaker 3: Yeah, we're waiving it.
[45:33] Speaker 1: Okay, are we?
[45:33] Speaker 3: Appreciate you. Yeah, we're waiving it.
[45:35] Speaker 1: Addending it, if you will, to use some legal jargon.
[45:40] Speaker 3: I'm not too happy either with my shit.
[45:43] Speaker 1: I think you both should just split because the rest
[45:45] Speaker 1: of the crew was looking forward to a 50-50, you
[45:47] Speaker 1: know what I mean?
[45:50] Speaker 3: We'll just take them all out.
[45:52] Speaker 1: Take them all out.
[45:53] Speaker 2: We're going to Nobu.
[45:54] Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck it.
[45:54] Speaker 1: We'll just take y'all. Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it
[45:58] Speaker 1: here on the show.
[45:59] Speaker 2: We are still getting our Nobumi. Yeah, but no, I
[46:02] Speaker 2: don't know. I had some shit to say to him
[46:04] Speaker 2: last week. I don't give a fuck what he do,
[46:06] Speaker 2: what they do now.
[46:07] Speaker 1: I understand.
[46:07] Speaker 2: All things considered. Fuck if he play, if he don't play,
[46:10] Speaker 2: but personally, like, no, but I know we should play
[46:13] Speaker 2: 36 minutes the first game back, but... It seems rather ludicrous,
[46:16] Speaker 2: if you would, even. I hope they fucking don't make
[46:18] Speaker 2: the playoffs.
[46:18] Speaker 1: Mm.
[46:19] Speaker 2: Like, I hope they remain fucking 11, 12, and... Yeah,
[46:23] Speaker 2: fuck them. It's a business.
[46:26] Speaker 1: I get it, but... Yeah. Negocio. That's negocio. You know
[46:31] Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Yeah. Two thumbs up to him. The
[46:38] Speaker 1: couch is unified. Hey. So let's get to the, we
[46:45] Speaker 1: have some other things or shit to talk about, but
[46:47] Speaker 1: actually I'll ask you to go. Is Paul George hurt again?
[46:50] Speaker 2: Paul George is. Your motherfucking finger was hanging off.
[46:53] Speaker 1: Huh?
[46:54] Speaker 2: Motherfucker couldn't, something was.
[46:56] Speaker 1: Wrong with his. Couldn't tape that bitch up? No, he
[46:58] Speaker 1: didn't have, no, he needed.
[47:01] Speaker 3: Like a nerve?
[47:02] Speaker 2: From what, yeah, from what I explained, it was like,
[47:05] Speaker 2: he can't, like, they got to tape it to, it's
[47:08] Speaker 2: like stuck.
[47:09] Speaker 3: Put it together.
[47:10] Speaker 2: Something bad with it. I think it's on the shoe name. Yeah,
[47:12] Speaker 2: left finger tendon. Left, yeah, whatever it is. It's some,
[47:15] Speaker 2: it's some.
[47:19] Speaker 1: Sound good for, not for, I hear you. Hey, we
[47:24] Speaker 1: in here like the, like the E-Wall. What's that, the Trekkie?
[47:27] Speaker 1: I'm a Trekkie.
[47:28] Speaker 3: Take my strong hand.
[47:29] Speaker 1: Take my strong hand.
[47:30] Speaker 5: Take my strong hand.
[47:37] Speaker 2: Shout out to KJ for taking this in stride, brother.
[47:40] Speaker 1: And B still not doing the back-to-back thing, Gil.
[47:43] Speaker 2: Why is he playing?
[47:44] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[47:48] Speaker 2: What is the point?
[47:49] Speaker 1: Like, what are you.
[47:55] Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. Your whole team is injured.
[48:00] Speaker 5: It's not like you played the younger guys to get experience.
[48:03] Speaker 5: Your older guys that you're banking on ain't playing. and
[48:07] Speaker 5: you're still trying to bring him back to do what exactly?
[48:13] Speaker 5: What is he going to come back and do what?
[48:16] Speaker 5: Let's say he can't play back-to-back with that knee.
[48:21] Speaker 1: The fuck, you think he's going to win a championship?
[48:23] Speaker 5: He couldn't beat nobody when he was healthy. Is he
[48:27] Speaker 5: going to run through Giannis and he's going to run
[48:30] Speaker 5: through Boston? He couldn't do it when he was healthy.
[48:34] Speaker 5: MVP status. Right before MVP status. So now he's half man.
[48:40] Speaker 5: So all that's going to happen is you're just going
[48:42] Speaker 5: to linger on this injury.
[48:44] Speaker 3: Sit his ass down. Paul George sit down. There's no point.
[48:50] Speaker 3: This season's fucked.
[48:51] Speaker 5: It was fucked when training camp started and he was
[48:53] Speaker 5: coming out of it. You didn't see the writing on
[48:56] Speaker 5: the wall then. Sit these two down. Suit up for
[49:00] Speaker 5: next season. Let all these young dudes ball.
[49:04] Speaker 1: Let them get experience because you're going to need them.
[49:07] Speaker 5: You're going to need them. You don't need Embiid right now.
[49:11] Speaker 5: He had a triple-double cool. He can't play today.
[49:16] Speaker 3: Great.
[49:19] Speaker 5: Nice.
[49:20] Speaker 1: Like we mentioned, Embiid under contract through 2029, I believe,
[49:22] Speaker 1: signed that three-year extension. We had Dwight Howard on the
[49:25] Speaker 1: show earlier in the season. And Dwight basically said, after
[49:31] Speaker 1: Embiid's comments about He's just focused on championships now. He
[49:34] Speaker 1: doesn't worry about individual accolades. Why play the heavy 36-minute
[49:37] Speaker 1: workload and not break that up into, you know, 20-20
[49:40] Speaker 1: each game? At least make yourself available to be out there.
[49:43] Speaker 2: Give yourself a chance to climb out of this hole, y'all.
[49:45] Speaker 1: If that's what the team goal is, to win a championship. But,
[49:48] Speaker 1: you know, you said fuck it, pack it up for
[49:50] Speaker 1: the season.
[49:51] Speaker 3: I said that.
[49:52] Speaker 1: The first week.
[49:54] Speaker 5: He started off the season injured, and then Paul George
[49:57] Speaker 5: tweaked his season over with.
[50:00] Speaker 3: No one to cut it.
[50:02] Speaker 1: Come on, cut the umbilical cord, man. Sit down.
[50:05] Speaker 5: Y'all go sit down. I know I'm paying you, but shit,
[50:08] Speaker 5: I still owe.
[50:09] Speaker 1: You more money.
[50:09] Speaker 5: And if you keep lingering on, that means next season,
[50:13] Speaker 5: can't play back-to-back. How long are you going to keep
[50:16] Speaker 5: trying this little routine?
[50:18] Speaker 2: Sit them two down.
[50:19] Speaker 1: Him and his fingers, sit it down.
[50:21] Speaker 2: Fingers and legs, sit down. Use some nice little suits,
[50:24] Speaker 2: whatever the fuck you.
[50:25] Speaker 1: Want to do.
[50:26] Speaker 2: Stay in shape a little bit, right?
[50:27] Speaker 3: Eat right.
[50:28] Speaker 2: I don't care.
[50:29] Speaker 1: But these young fellas, I'm going to play you. I
[50:33] Speaker 1: need you to get the experience.
[50:36] Speaker 3: That's fair.
[50:37] Speaker 2: That's it. Maxie, come on.
[50:39] Speaker 1: Hey, do you.
[50:40] Speaker 2: Oh, he going to do that? Yeah, do you.
[50:42] Speaker 3: Would you trade him?
[50:43] Speaker 1: Who? Embiid. Rui Hachimor.
[50:46] Speaker 3: I mean....
[50:50] Speaker 2: But y'all quick to package. Y'all team.
[50:51] Speaker 3: Rui, Gabe, Christian Wood.
[50:54] Speaker 1: They got a package. No loyalty, boy. Listen.
[50:57] Speaker 3: You ain't.
[50:59] Speaker 2: Boy, they quick to package the Lakers up.
[51:01] Speaker 1: Blame Nico Harris. This is the game now.
[51:03] Speaker 2: This is the game. They quick to package. He didn't
[51:06] Speaker 2: even think about you, Gabe. Shamar Moore.
[51:09] Speaker 3: We got a two or three pack. Shamar been balling.
[51:11] Speaker 1: Always ready.
[51:12] Speaker 3: We got two or three players ready.
[51:14] Speaker 1: Shamar been balling.
[51:14] Speaker 3: That's funny.
[51:15] Speaker 5: I probably would have.
[51:18] Speaker 1: You would have?
[51:18] Speaker 3: So now it's too late?
[51:20] Speaker 5: The only reason I wouldn't, because I see him in
[51:22] Speaker 5: real time.
[51:24] Speaker 3: Right?
[51:24] Speaker 2: I'm watching him.
[51:26] Speaker 5: I'm seeing his eating habits. I'm seeing his workout habits.
[51:28] Speaker 5: I'm watching it.
[51:30] Speaker 1: Right?
[51:30] Speaker 2: So it becomes.
[51:32] Speaker 5: That 2000, was it 3-4 season that summer? When, yeah, Shaq,
[51:43] Speaker 5: he looked good. But, I mean, two years from now,
[51:45] Speaker 5: what do you think he'll look like?
[51:48] Speaker 1: After Miami.
[51:48] Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
[51:49] Speaker 2: Kobe's sitting there.
[51:51] Speaker 1: Like, hey. How old is he? Who, Embiid? 32. Give
[51:56] Speaker 1: me a second. Embiid? He's 30 years old. Turns 31
[52:00] Speaker 1: in March. Alright, man.
[52:01] Speaker 3: How's this any.
[52:02] Speaker 6: I'm not going to say how.
[52:06] Speaker 3: You know the hustle. From a Knicks fan.
[52:10] Speaker 1: Where's the birth certificate?
[52:11] Speaker 6: I'm not going to say how is it different, but
[52:16] Speaker 6: How would the league respond if we were to trade
[52:19] Speaker 6: at Joel Embiid two years ago?
[52:24] Speaker 3: Would it be the same response, like the Luka response?
[52:26] Speaker 2: Two years ago?
[52:27] Speaker 1: Yes.
[52:28] Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
[52:29] Speaker 2: Before the Embiid?
[52:31] Speaker 3: Yeah. So think about the rightness on that wall.
[52:34] Speaker 6: Before the major injury happened, before he really, really went down,
[52:38] Speaker 6: he was still an injury problem.
[52:41] Speaker 3: They seen it on the walls.
[52:44] Speaker 6: So if there's a mysterious reason why Luca gets traded,
[52:47] Speaker 6: there ain't no mysterious reason why he should be traded.
[52:50] Speaker 1: Why hasn't he been traded?
[52:52] Speaker 6: I think certain people make decisions to try to beef
[52:56] Speaker 6: up the confidence for other owners to make moves.
[53:00] Speaker 3: But they ain't make no moves. They trust in the process. Still.
[53:04] Speaker 1: I mean, think about 36 minutes.
[53:06] Speaker 6: If we're trusting the process, what, we're going to trust
[53:08] Speaker 6: another five more years to mitigate 20 minutes and 20
[53:11] Speaker 6: minutes and 20 minutes?
[53:13] Speaker 3: For what?
[53:13] Speaker 6: 20 minutes is not going to help us win. It's
[53:16] Speaker 6: not because we need him at this capacity. Last year
[53:20] Speaker 6: when he came back for the last seven, eight games,
[53:22] Speaker 6: what did he do for us? He got us into
[53:24] Speaker 6: the playoffs to the first round. We lost in the
[53:27] Speaker 6: first round because he hadn't had that mojo going into
[53:30] Speaker 6: that momentum.
[53:31] Speaker 1: But to get us there.
[53:34] Speaker 3: After injury?
[53:36] Speaker 1: I'm thinking about what they're trying to do now.
[53:38] Speaker 6: How many big games can we play them in and
[53:40] Speaker 6: we win and show we just played against Dallas and
[53:42] Speaker 6: we beat them with Joel? No PG. Take the night
[53:47] Speaker 6: off because we ain't playing a big team. Who are
[53:49] Speaker 6: they playing tonight? Was it Pistons or am I tripping?
[53:53] Speaker 3: Who are they playing tonight?
[53:54] Speaker 1: Let me see. The Sixers. Give me one second. They're
[53:58] Speaker 1: at the Heat. Heat are at the Sixers tonight. Heat
[54:00] Speaker 1: are at the Sixers.
[54:01] Speaker 3: Come on. We just beat Dallas.
[54:04] Speaker 1: Sit out. Chill.
[54:05] Speaker 3: Chill.
[54:05] Speaker 1: Who we got next after that? After that shot, you
[54:08] Speaker 1: have the Pistons, then the Bucs. Wait for the Bucs.
[54:13] Speaker 6: Take these next two games off and we're going to
[54:14] Speaker 6: beat the Bucs. So we're going to show that we
[54:16] Speaker 6: can beat the good teams.
[54:17] Speaker 1: But we're going to play again.
[54:19] Speaker 6: Show we can beat the good teams. Because then the
[54:20] Speaker 6: good teams are going to be left in the playoffs.
[54:22] Speaker 2: He's playing against the bad teams. He's playing against the Pistons.
[54:25] Speaker 6: No, he said you're not playing in the back-to-back. Just
[54:28] Speaker 6: beat Dallas.
[54:29] Speaker 1: Which was supposed to be a bad team. A watered-down
[54:32] Speaker 1: Dallas team. No watered-down shit. Dallas.
[54:35] Speaker 5: Dallas has been struggling without Luka. Don't have AD yet.
[54:39] Speaker 3: Still a good team. Morale.
[54:41] Speaker 6: Let's talk about team morale confidence as a team.
[54:43] Speaker 3: Boom.
[54:44] Speaker 1: Go play Miami. Go play Detroit. We might lose both.
[54:47] Speaker 6: Of those games, but we ain't worried about it because
[54:49] Speaker 6: we're not thinking about the trajectory of losing to those
[54:52] Speaker 6: type of teams.
[54:53] Speaker 1: We played Milwaukee.
[54:54] Speaker 3: Come on, Joel.
[54:56] Speaker 6: You and Giannis line up and make this a thing.
[54:58] Speaker 6: Just to see what it look like.
[55:00] Speaker 1: Detroit nice, though.
[55:01] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[55:01] Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. If he play or don't play,
[55:03] Speaker 6: it don't matter. It don't matter. So what's the reason
[55:07] Speaker 6: for him playing then? To see if he can play
[55:09] Speaker 6: in the playoffs against the good teams.
[55:12] Speaker 1: Why do we care? Because you're going to make a
[55:13] Speaker 1: playoff push.
[55:14] Speaker 5: But you see what happened last playoff push.
[55:16] Speaker 2: You got to get there.
[55:17] Speaker 3: You didn't have Paul George.
[55:19] Speaker 1: You didn't have Paul George. He came back for six,
[55:21] Speaker 1: seven games.
[55:22] Speaker 3: That's right now. That's why I say playoff push. You
[55:24] Speaker 3: said he wasn't ready. You get there in the playoffs.
[55:26] Speaker 6: And PG ready, and you ready, and Maxie ready, and
[55:29] Speaker 6: I can actually say to myself, I'm going to play
[55:31] Speaker 6: in big games, 36 minutes, and we're going to do
[55:34] Speaker 6: it like this.
[55:35] Speaker 1: Let me throw this out there.
[55:36] Speaker 2: Every other day in the playoffs.
[55:38] Speaker 1: Let me throw this out there. You're back-to-back. That ain't
[55:41] Speaker 1: a back-to-back, though. Every other day is not a back-to-back.
[55:43] Speaker 5: I said you came back for the playoffs, and what
[55:45] Speaker 5: happens if you miss the beginning of next year?
[55:47] Speaker 2: And I said, hey, you're coming back for seven games.
[55:49] Speaker 1: You're not going to win it.
[55:50] Speaker 2: So you're just coming back.
[55:50] Speaker 1: To do what? So, Gil, to your point that the
[55:53] Speaker 1: Sixers should probably tank this year, I'll just give you
[55:55] Speaker 1: a little bit more detail.
[55:56] Speaker 5: They ain't tank.
[55:58] Speaker 1: They suck if this guy only plays 45%. He can
[56:01] Speaker 1: only do so much.
[56:03] Speaker 5: Like, his talent is oozing out, but he's still not 100%.
[56:10] Speaker 5: And he is not healthy enough to carry this team
[56:15] Speaker 5: to a.
[56:16] Speaker 2: to the championship. You go to the.
[56:18] Speaker 5: First round, the second round, I'm jeopardizing your health?
[56:22] Speaker 1: For first round, the second round? If you allow me to,
[56:26] Speaker 1: I will.
[56:27] Speaker 6: If you agree that you want to go out there
[56:29] Speaker 6: and play.
[56:29] Speaker 1: Never got that second round.
[56:30] Speaker 3: Bro, I'm not going to stop you from doing it.
[56:31] Speaker 1: But here's the thing. So the Sixers get to keep
[56:34] Speaker 1: their draft pick if it falls in the top six.
[56:36] Speaker 1: If not, it goes to the Thunder. If it.
[56:40] Speaker 2: In the top six, they get it.
[56:41] Speaker 1: They get it. If not, it goes to the Thunder.
[56:43] Speaker 1: So now, just to echo your point... What are y'all doing, man?
[56:48] Speaker 2: What are they doing, man?
[56:50] Speaker 1: So we asked the chat, what should the Sixers do
[56:52] Speaker 1: with Embiid? You sitting here trying to lose the pick. Yes.
[56:58] Speaker 2: To give it to the Thunder. Because they need him.
[57:02] Speaker 2: Because they need fucking him.
[57:04] Speaker 1: Sam Presti. Yeah.
[57:04] Speaker 3: They need more picks. They need more picks.
[57:08] Speaker 1: So we asked the chat, what should the Sixers do
[57:11] Speaker 1: with Embiid?
[57:11] Speaker 2: I'm afraid they're going to be seven and they're going
[57:13] Speaker 2: to lose that bitch.
[57:13] Speaker 3: Losing it?
[57:14] Speaker 2: I don't know.
[57:16] Speaker 1: So 63% of the chat thinks that the Sixers should
[57:18] Speaker 1: trade and beat. 25% said they should rest them. 12%
[57:22] Speaker 1: said they should play them. But let's keep it moving.
[57:24] Speaker 1: We have to talk about a former Sixer that is
[57:26] Speaker 1: on the move, our favorite former Sixer, Kenya Martin Jr.
[57:30] Speaker 1: Two second-round picks are headed to the Detroit Pistons in
[57:33] Speaker 1: a cost-cutting move for Philly. Kane, how do you feel
[57:36] Speaker 1: about the move right now with KJ going to the Pistons?
[57:42] Speaker 2: I mean, I just want the kid to get the
[57:43] Speaker 2: opportunity to play basketball without getting caught up in the
[57:46] Speaker 2: business of basketball. Because every movie he's been, it's been Houston.
[57:52] Speaker 2: They draft the guys, play the same position. I worry
[57:54] Speaker 2: about the stuff that he's done. Clippers got involved with
[57:56] Speaker 2: the James Harden trade. It had nothing to do with him.
[57:58] Speaker 2: This situation ain't got nothing to do with him. So
[58:01] Speaker 2: I just wanted to get a man to be able
[58:02] Speaker 2: to hoop without getting caught up in the business side
[58:05] Speaker 2: of it. I don't understand this business, but just going out, man,
[58:08] Speaker 2: somebody to believe in and let him rock out without
[58:09] Speaker 2: having to look over his shoulder. I thought he was
[58:12] Speaker 2: getting there in Philly. Earned more playing time. Started the last,
[58:18] Speaker 2: before he got hurt, that was seven and three, the
[58:21] Speaker 2: games that he started. So, he was playing well, man. So,
[58:24] Speaker 2: he worked his ass off over the summer. Shooting a
[58:28] Speaker 2: high clip from three. Going to always shoot a high
[58:30] Speaker 2: clip from two because he takes good shots, man. Just
[58:33] Speaker 2: want to go hoop, man. His spirits are good. So,
[58:37] Speaker 2: like I said, he just want to play basketball, man.
[58:40] Speaker 1: All right. So....
[58:44] Speaker 2: We'll see.
[58:45] Speaker 1: Still only 24 years old.
[58:46] Speaker 2: Absolutely. Still young, man.
[58:47] Speaker 1: Still young.
[58:49] Speaker 2: He's in year five, and he's only.
[58:51] Speaker 5: It's hard to think about, but at the end of
[58:54] Speaker 5: the day, the reason he's moving so much is because
[58:56] Speaker 5: he is an asset.
[58:57] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[58:59] Speaker 3: Right?
[59:00] Speaker 2: So I explained to him in that way, right? Like
[59:02] Speaker 2: Jeff Green played for 12 teams. He's still playing, right?
[59:06] Speaker 2: Drew Gooden played for 12 teams. Good basketball. players with
[59:10] Speaker 2: good movable contracts for teams. It's unfortunate you fit that,
[59:14] Speaker 2: but you are. You know how to play the game.
[59:16] Speaker 2: You're a good person. You're good for the locker room.
[59:18] Speaker 2: You don't cause no trouble. You're going to show up,
[59:20] Speaker 2: work your ass off, do your job. So this is
[59:22] Speaker 2: why this is. So we talked about exactly what you're saying, so.
[59:28] Speaker 2: If there's a God in heaven, he'll be in the
[59:29] Speaker 2: purple and go soon.
[59:30] Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
[59:31] Speaker 1: But no, he just want to play basketball. We can
[59:33] Speaker 1: almost have the couch. We need it. Now he can roll.
[59:35] Speaker 2: Yeah, because he worked his ass out this summer, man.
[59:38] Speaker 2: He really concentrated on what he needed to work on. So, yeah, no, man.
[59:43] Speaker 2: Like I said, he in a good place. And for
[59:46] Speaker 2: y'all that said I was going to cry again, fuck you.
[59:52] Speaker 1: None of us said that.
[59:52] Speaker 2: Not y'all.
[59:53] Speaker 3: Hold on.
[59:54] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[59:57] Speaker 3: No, no, man.
[59:58] Speaker 2: Last year, like I said, it had nothing to do
[59:59] Speaker 2: with me, man. Yeah.
[1:00:00] Speaker 6: Like you was directed at towards me.
[1:00:02] Speaker 1: No.
[1:00:02] Speaker 2: You had a bad money.
[1:00:05] Speaker 1: What the hell did I do?
[1:00:07] Speaker 3: No, no, no.
[1:00:08] Speaker 2: I mean, he in a good place. No, we're in
[1:00:10] Speaker 2: a good place, man. We are. So whatever happens, if
[1:00:13] Speaker 2: it's going to be to stay there, which we think
[1:00:16] Speaker 2: it is, I think he fits what JB Biggerstaff preaches
[1:00:21] Speaker 2: as a coach. He fits that. So there should be
[1:00:25] Speaker 2: opportunity there. There's a lot of young guys there.
[1:00:27] Speaker 1: Yes. They play fast. They play fast. They kick the
[1:00:31] Speaker 1: ball up.
[1:00:31] Speaker 2: They're like third in the league in fast break points.
[1:00:34] Speaker 2: So they play to fit his style. If given the opportunity, man,
[1:00:38] Speaker 2: any coach will love him because he's going to do
[1:00:42] Speaker 2: everything you ask of him, man. He plays bigger than
[1:00:44] Speaker 2: he is. Like I said, he's worked his ass off
[1:00:47] Speaker 2: on his shot shooting the high clip, man. So, no,
[1:00:49] Speaker 2: it's just opportunity. It's all he needs, man, to go
[1:00:52] Speaker 2: out there motherfucking night. not be able to get caught
[1:00:56] Speaker 2: up in the business side of it, which, yeah, so.
[1:00:59] Speaker 1: Well, speaking of the business side, Kenyon, Tuesday was the Mavs'
[1:01:02] Speaker 1: second game since the Luka trade, but Kyrie's first on
[1:01:05] Speaker 1: the floor without his former running mate. So after the game,
[1:01:07] Speaker 1: Kyrie spoke for the first time since Luka's departure, offered
[1:01:11] Speaker 1: these thoughts on how he was impacted by the trade.
[1:01:14] Speaker 9: You know, so it's still a grieving process right now.
[1:01:17] Speaker 9: Missed my hermano. You know, we had a lot of
[1:01:19] Speaker 9: time together. You know, Keith, too, and Maxie. And, you know,
[1:01:25] Speaker 9: we just built some bonds that went beyond the basketball court.
[1:01:28] Speaker 9: So if anybody can understand at home, you know, when
[1:01:30] Speaker 9: someone or a few group of people or a few
[1:01:34] Speaker 9: people leave in a trade, it's going to be difficult.
[1:01:36] Speaker 9: And that's what we're dealing with right now. But, you know,
[1:01:38] Speaker 9: this is a business. It's way above my pay grade.
[1:01:42] Speaker 9: You know, and I just got to adjust and be
[1:01:45] Speaker 9: ready to welcome in my new teammates with open arms and,
[1:01:48] Speaker 9: you know, you know, kind of be ready to go
[1:01:51] Speaker 9: back to, uh, Dallas to, to speak in front of
[1:01:53] Speaker 9: our fans. I know they're feeling it too. I'm feeling
[1:01:55] Speaker 9: it too, guys. Uh, so yeah, it's just an adjustment period. And, um,
[1:02:00] Speaker 9: you know, it's, I don't want to downplay this either
[1:02:03] Speaker 9: or disrespect our new guys. Um, you know, they're going
[1:02:06] Speaker 9: to help us win and going to help us build
[1:02:08] Speaker 9: towards the championship. Um, but just like everyone else at home,
[1:02:12] Speaker 9: when you, um, you know, kind of see it from afar,
[1:02:16] Speaker 9: it hurts. This is, uh, a weird case in NBA
[1:02:21] Speaker 9: history to be a part of, but at the same time,
[1:02:23] Speaker 9: it's the nature of our business, and it is a
[1:02:25] Speaker 9: ruthless business, so you just got to be ready to
[1:02:27] Speaker 9: pick up the pieces and, you know.
[1:02:30] Speaker 3: Still run towards the championship. That's the ultimate goal.
[1:02:32] Speaker 9: On why I play, and having other guys that are
[1:02:35] Speaker 9: championship winners, too, helps, but, you know, at the same time,
[1:02:38] Speaker 9: we still have to acknowledge that, you know, our little
[1:02:42] Speaker 9: Slovenian president is no longer here, and we got to adjust.
[1:02:45] Speaker 1: Our little Slovenian president is no longer here. We got
[1:02:48] Speaker 1: to adjust. What's your guys' reaction? You've all seen the
[1:02:52] Speaker 1: business side of it can be ruthless at times.
[1:02:54] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
[1:02:55] Speaker 1: Very ruthless in some cases. But what's your reaction to
[1:02:58] Speaker 1: Kyrie's comments on how he was impacted by the Luka trade?
[1:03:01] Speaker 1: Let's start with the non-Lakers side.
[1:03:07] Speaker 2: No, we knew how he was going to handle it, man.
[1:03:09] Speaker 1: Sorry, no, you ain't should give him.
[1:03:11] Speaker 3: He's definitely been a part of a lot of history stuff.
[1:03:13] Speaker 2: No, he's... He's a professional, man. It's going to bother him,
[1:03:18] Speaker 2: but he's not going to do anything to shit on
[1:03:21] Speaker 2: the new guys, like he said. So it's an opportunity
[1:03:25] Speaker 2: for them to build and grow with the new guys, man.
[1:03:27] Speaker 2: It's unfortunate that the guys have grown those relationships in
[1:03:32] Speaker 2: locker rooms and outside of that, but still can have
[1:03:38] Speaker 2: that relationship with that person, friendship, whatever it is. You
[1:03:41] Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? Yeah. But not to have that
[1:03:45] Speaker 2: every day. I get it, man, but no. It's business,
[1:03:47] Speaker 2: and a lot of basketball left to be played for everybody.
[1:03:51] Speaker 2: So like you said, let's get to it, right?
[1:03:53] Speaker 1: Yeah. We talked about Kyrie's been on both sides of
[1:03:57] Speaker 1: that business. Losing Luka, but has wanted to play with
[1:04:00] Speaker 1: AD for a while now. So it seems like if
[1:04:03] Speaker 1: I'm going to lose Luka, at least I got a
[1:04:04] Speaker 1: guy who I've wanted to play with now coming through.
[1:04:06] Speaker 1: But Kyrie does have a player option this summer.
[1:04:10] Speaker 2: Wait, did he want to play with AD with Luka?
[1:04:14] Speaker 1: No, I think back in Boston when AD was with
[1:04:18] Speaker 1: the Pelicans.
[1:04:19] Speaker 2: Oh, okay, okay.
[1:04:20] Speaker 1: No, no. It was just chicken.
[1:04:25] Speaker 3: Like, damn.
[1:04:26] Speaker 5: I said chicken and rice, goddamn it.
[1:04:28] Speaker 3: Just rice. Just rice myself.
[1:04:31] Speaker 1: You got a big bowl of rice.
[1:04:32] Speaker 3: Rice with a little bit of salt and pepper.
[1:04:35] Speaker 1: Yeah. But, Shaw, for you hearing that, what's your reaction
[1:04:38] Speaker 1: to Kyrie? comments on Luka getting traded I.
[1:04:43] Speaker 6: Don't know man it's just I think I remember a
[1:04:46] Speaker 6: couple years ago year and a half ago sitting here
[1:04:51] Speaker 6: and remembering it's just co-workers guys are just co-workers alright
[1:04:59] Speaker 6: so as soon as the trade happened it's next what's
[1:05:05] Speaker 6: up I know adjustment period for what.
[1:05:12] Speaker 1: I'm confused.
[1:05:14] Speaker 3: I'll just be confused. Because I thought that was just
[1:05:18] Speaker 3: me that made friends.
[1:05:22] Speaker 2: Some people do. But more times than not, guys are co-workers.
[1:05:25] Speaker 2: And I stand on it. I said it recently.
[1:05:27] Speaker 1: And that's why that don't sound weird.
[1:05:29] Speaker 5: How?
[1:05:29] Speaker 2: Some guys develop friendships. Absolutely. Nick was friends with him.
[1:05:33] Speaker 2: They're still friends.
[1:05:36] Speaker 3: Y'all said I was following KG.
[1:05:39] Speaker 2: Is that your friend now?
[1:05:40] Speaker 3: Nope.
[1:05:43] Speaker 1: You and KG are not friends, bro?
[1:05:44] Speaker 2: So, my point is that, Rashad.
[1:05:48] Speaker 6: People fall. But that was your friend when you... That
[1:05:50] Speaker 6: was your coworker when y'all were playing. No, we were
[1:05:53] Speaker 6: friends when we were playing.
[1:05:54] Speaker 2: No, that wasn't your friend, bro.
[1:05:55] Speaker 3: Because we're not friends now? Because we're not friends now?
[1:05:59] Speaker 1: Hold on.
[1:05:59] Speaker 3: Hold on.
[1:06:01] Speaker 1: Hold on.
[1:06:01] Speaker 3: Hold on. You don't lose true friendships? You don't lose friends?
[1:06:07] Speaker 3: Do you lose friends?
[1:06:09] Speaker 1: Uh-huh. Do you lose friends because of your co-workers.
[1:06:13] Speaker 6: Or do you lose friends because of other things that
[1:06:16] Speaker 6: people don't know about?
[1:06:18] Speaker 2: Still, co-workers, bruh. First and foremost, your co-workers. Then you
[1:06:22] Speaker 2: develop a relationship with those co-workers.
[1:06:24] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:06:25] Speaker 2: Everybody don't develop those relationships with every co-worker.
[1:06:27] Speaker 1: Are they your friends or your work friends?
[1:06:30] Speaker 3: Work friends.
[1:06:30] Speaker 2: Work friends, but then sometimes that happens. You develop, so
[1:06:34] Speaker 2: you realize you have like-minded interests. You guys are the same.
[1:06:40] Speaker 2: You're similar. So these things carry on. But outside of
[1:06:44] Speaker 2: this common thing that y'all have with, whether it's you
[1:06:48] Speaker 2: work at fucking Kinko's, you play for the Raiders, you
[1:06:52] Speaker 2: got them baseball, whatever the profession is, you're a lawyer,
[1:06:57] Speaker 2: you're whatever it is.
[1:06:59] Speaker 1: Every lawyer don't get a lawyer.
[1:07:00] Speaker 2: Every lawyer don't talk to everybody in their office and
[1:07:02] Speaker 2: they firm. They gravitate towards some people. They might go
[1:07:07] Speaker 2: to lunch together every motherfucking day together because they work
[1:07:12] Speaker 2: in the same office. Couldn't tell a motherfucker where they live.
[1:07:16] Speaker 6: So that was the case with me and KG? Is
[1:07:18] Speaker 6: that the case with me and KG?
[1:07:20] Speaker 3: So if I'm in the NBA, right, and I'm getting married, right,
[1:07:25] Speaker 3: and I'm on this team for about maybe two years,
[1:07:27] Speaker 3: and I just invite everybody that's on the team to
[1:07:29] Speaker 3: my wedding, that mean we friends?
[1:07:31] Speaker 1: No.
[1:07:31] Speaker 2: It does not mean you friends. You may just like
[1:07:34] Speaker 2: wedding gifts. Or you're just being polite.
[1:07:37] Speaker 3: I mean, because your wedding, you're supposed to invite, like,
[1:07:40] Speaker 3: family and friends and family, right?
[1:07:45] Speaker 2: And that's how you get to the motherfucking, you got
[1:07:47] Speaker 2: 100 people at your fucking wedding.
[1:07:49] Speaker 3: Right, for sure.
[1:07:50] Speaker 1: What the fuck? You don't... No, 100.
[1:07:53] Speaker 2: That should be there, that really fucking care about you.
[1:07:57] Speaker 2: Your well-being, how your children are doing, how your mother's doing.
[1:08:01] Speaker 1: How your grandmother's doing.
[1:08:02] Speaker 2: They call you and ask you these, like, those are
[1:08:05] Speaker 2: friends when times are not, we're not here. When they
[1:08:08] Speaker 2: call and they care about your fucking well-being. You don't
[1:08:12] Speaker 2: know that many people to invite to your fucking wedding.
[1:08:14] Speaker 2: Guarantee if you die.
[1:08:16] Speaker 6: All them motherfucking people ain't going to be there.
[1:08:19] Speaker 3: So that's Luca and Kyrie relationship?
[1:08:21] Speaker 2: I don't know them. So I'm not going to speculate.
[1:08:25] Speaker 2: The words out of this man's mouth. They were close friends.
[1:08:28] Speaker 3: But you speculate with me and KG relationship. Tell me how.
[1:08:31] Speaker 2: They're still co-workers first.
[1:08:33] Speaker 1: What that mean?
[1:08:34] Speaker 2: They developed the relations. You're co-workers first. You're not going
[1:08:39] Speaker 2: to be friends.
[1:08:41] Speaker 1: Hold on.
[1:08:43] Speaker 2: So if you play in Minnesota, are you going to
[1:08:45] Speaker 2: be friends because y'all do the same thing with a
[1:08:47] Speaker 2: nigga that play in Miami? That you never around? Y'all
[1:08:49] Speaker 2: do the same thing?
[1:08:51] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:08:52] Speaker 1: Huh?
[1:08:52] Speaker 3: How? You don't know him?
[1:08:54] Speaker 1: I do know him. No, you don't.
[1:08:56] Speaker 2: You know what he do. Y'all got the same profession.
[1:08:59] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
[1:09:00] Speaker 6: So how are we friends i just asked you that
[1:09:03] Speaker 6: that was my question to you obviously we hung out
[1:09:05] Speaker 6: we met no you don't know him y'all got the
[1:09:08] Speaker 6: same profession though how do you know him.
[1:09:12] Speaker 2: He playing miami you playing minnesota.
[1:09:14] Speaker 6: And we never met same profession We know everybody in
[1:09:18] Speaker 6: the basketball community.
[1:09:19] Speaker 3: No, I do not.
[1:09:20] Speaker 1: I don't know these motherfuckers.
[1:09:21] Speaker 3: We know of them. I don't know these motherfuckers. Like,
[1:09:24] Speaker 3: know them. I don't know them.
[1:09:26] Speaker 2: I know of them.
[1:09:28] Speaker 6: When you get on a team, you develop a relationship
[1:09:32] Speaker 6: with one of the players on the team that you
[1:09:34] Speaker 6: didn't know.
[1:09:35] Speaker 3: Okay.
[1:09:35] Speaker 1: You become friends with him. You telling me we can't
[1:09:39] Speaker 1: do that? Yes, I'm saying that. Yes, I said that.
[1:09:41] Speaker 5: They did. Friendship is mutual. Both of y'all, it's both.
[1:09:47] Speaker 2: I just said we become friends.
[1:09:49] Speaker 1: He did it with Nick.
[1:09:50] Speaker 6: I didn't say I said I'm your friend and you just,
[1:09:54] Speaker 6: I'm the tag along.
[1:09:54] Speaker 2: So we have a breathing, living, prime example right here.
[1:09:59] Speaker 2: He was there, him and Nick, first was coworkers. Nick
[1:10:04] Speaker 2: came to the team, they were coworkers first. They realized
[1:10:09] Speaker 2: we have like, we think the same, have fun, we
[1:10:11] Speaker 2: like to laugh, joke, we send it off. It worked
[1:10:14] Speaker 2: for them. He was teammates with Etan Thomas. Huh?
[1:10:20] Speaker 1: Teammates. Team, co-worker teammates, right?
[1:10:23] Speaker 6: Nick was your rook. You moved him in. You know
[1:10:26] Speaker 6: I know the story. You know I know the story.
[1:10:29] Speaker 6: You were friends immediately. You trusted him immediately. He was
[1:10:32] Speaker 6: your rook, just like KD. KD gave me the codes
[1:10:35] Speaker 6: to the crib. I was at the crib every day.
[1:10:37] Speaker 6: How did you become that? He trusted me the moment
[1:10:39] Speaker 6: I got there.
[1:10:41] Speaker 1: No, how did you?
[1:10:42] Speaker 2: So you just walked off the fucking street.
[1:10:44] Speaker 1: Like, KG, you want to be my friend?
[1:10:46] Speaker 5: No.
[1:10:46] Speaker 2: They drafted you, right?
[1:10:47] Speaker 3: No. John Lucas was KG's homie.
[1:10:50] Speaker 2: Did the Minnesota Timberwolves draft you?
[1:10:52] Speaker 1: Homie. Did the Minnesota Timberwolves draft you?
[1:10:54] Speaker 6: When he started seeing how Saudi rocked, he was like, yo,
[1:10:57] Speaker 6: I fuck with Youngfella.
[1:10:58] Speaker 3: But how did you get there?
[1:10:59] Speaker 2: How did you get there?
[1:11:00] Speaker 1: What you mean? I got on the team. How?
[1:11:02] Speaker 2: They drafted me.
[1:11:03] Speaker 3: They picked you, right? Okay.
[1:11:04] Speaker 1: So if they don't pick you, are you.
[1:11:05] Speaker 2: In a situation to be his coworker?
[1:11:08] Speaker 5: No.
[1:11:09] Speaker 2: My point exactly, Rashawn.
[1:11:10] Speaker 1: But that has nothing to do with friendship.
[1:11:14] Speaker 6: I could still run into KG. I could still run
[1:11:18] Speaker 6: into KG and become friends with him because I'm a
[1:11:20] Speaker 6: cool motherfucker.
[1:11:21] Speaker 1: The chances of that are slim to none. Slim to none?
[1:11:24] Speaker 3: Yes.
[1:11:24] Speaker 1: Then I'm not a cool motherfucker then. No, you are cool.
[1:11:27] Speaker 3: I can't be. I can't be.
[1:11:29] Speaker 1: I'm a real motherfucker. That's the only reason we came, friends. Look,
[1:11:31] Speaker 1: because I was good.
[1:11:32] Speaker 6: Because you was in a position because you was his
[1:11:34] Speaker 6: coworker first.
[1:11:34] Speaker 1: Nah, because I'm a real motherfucker.
[1:11:35] Speaker 3: No, because you was his coworker first.
[1:11:36] Speaker 1: Nah, nah, nah, nah.
[1:11:37] Speaker 3: If you was not a... I was a part of
[1:11:38] Speaker 3: his little family. If the Minnesota... Listen, if you would
[1:11:40] Speaker 3: have been... So you knew KG before you got to Minnesota?
[1:11:43] Speaker 1: I didn't know KG back then.
[1:11:44] Speaker 2: So if you played for the Chicago Bulls and you
[1:11:46] Speaker 2: that same cool motherfucker and you never was his teammate, how?
[1:11:50] Speaker 1: Hey, KG, what's up? Hey, KG, what's up, my G?
[1:11:53] Speaker 1: I think I'm a cool motherfucker, too. I don't hang
[1:11:56] Speaker 1: out with these people.
[1:11:56] Speaker 3: You think KG would have talked to you if you
[1:11:58] Speaker 3: wouldn't know this? Because they said KG don't even talk
[1:12:00] Speaker 3: to rookies or nobody.
[1:12:01] Speaker 1: He don't even... That's what I'm saying. He gravitated towards you.
[1:12:03] Speaker 1: He liked you. They said he was mean. I didn't
[1:12:06] Speaker 1: even talk to KG. But you mean. We became friends.
[1:12:09] Speaker 2: Because you was his co-worker first.
[1:12:11] Speaker 6: No, he wasn't friends with everybody on the team.
[1:12:14] Speaker 1: Exactly.
[1:12:14] Speaker 6: My point exactly, Rashad. So how did he become my friend?
[1:12:17] Speaker 6: Because he gravitated towards you.
[1:12:18] Speaker 1: Because I'm cool.
[1:12:19] Speaker 3: Right, because you were there.
[1:12:20] Speaker 1: Because I'm cool.
[1:12:21] Speaker 6: No, if everybody was cool, guess who he would be
[1:12:23] Speaker 6: friends with?
[1:12:24] Speaker 1: Not at all. Everybody.
[1:12:25] Speaker 3: Guess who wasn't cool?
[1:12:27] Speaker 1: Everybody wasn't cool.
[1:12:29] Speaker 2: Easttown was cool.
[1:12:30] Speaker 1: Was Brandon cool?
[1:12:31] Speaker 2: Brandon was cool. Who else was that you didn't hang
[1:12:33] Speaker 2: out with that was, were they cool? Michael Ruffin was cool.
[1:12:36] Speaker 3: Who else was cool that you didn't hang out? Antonio
[1:12:38] Speaker 3: Danes was cool.
[1:12:39] Speaker 1: Were they cool? They were cool, right? You thought of
[1:12:41] Speaker 1: them as cool.
[1:12:42] Speaker 2: Am I cool?
[1:12:43] Speaker 1: Who did you gravitate for?
[1:12:44] Speaker 3: Am I cool? Who did you gravitate for? We hang out.
[1:12:46] Speaker 1: Who did you gravitate for? We don't hang out after this.
[1:12:49] Speaker 3: Nick Young.
[1:12:50] Speaker 1: Why?
[1:12:50] Speaker 3: I wonder which I never invited, but we bonded.
[1:12:52] Speaker 5: Right?
[1:12:53] Speaker 1: Like, we realized that we didn't have... I had a
[1:12:55] Speaker 1: lot of cool teammates. I had a lot of cool teammates.
[1:12:57] Speaker 3: And then I just gravitated to Steven Jackson.
[1:12:59] Speaker 1: Right. Like, Jason Richardson.
[1:13:01] Speaker 3: Jason Richardson.
[1:13:01] Speaker 1: So, my two, my two, I can say those are
[1:13:04] Speaker 1: my friends.
[1:13:04] Speaker 6: Yes.
[1:13:05] Speaker 1: Like, friends. Jay Rich and Nick Young.
[1:13:09] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:13:10] Speaker 1: Meaning, like, if there's nothing that can happen... me and
[1:13:14] Speaker 1: Nick Young would fight about. And shit can hit the fan.
[1:13:17] Speaker 2: And you can call him and depend on him today.
[1:13:22] Speaker 2: In 2025, today.
[1:13:25] Speaker 3: Can you do that? No.
[1:13:28] Speaker 2: Motherfucker ain't your friend, dawg.
[1:13:30] Speaker 1: We've seen you. I'm not his friend.
[1:13:33] Speaker 3: But you know that's his fault.
[1:13:34] Speaker 1: I'm not his friend.
[1:13:35] Speaker 6: He's not yours either. I, by choice, don't want to
[1:13:38] Speaker 6: contact any niggas in the NBA as friends.
[1:13:43] Speaker 1: So if I wanted to, guess what?
[1:13:45] Speaker 6: Guess what?
[1:13:46] Speaker 1: I would be able to. I could go and be friends. Actually,
[1:13:50] Speaker 1: friendship is mutual.
[1:13:51] Speaker 6: During the fucking, what was it, summer league, we was
[1:13:55] Speaker 6: running into all kinds of motherfuckers, wasn't we?
[1:13:57] Speaker 1: Shod, take my number.
[1:13:58] Speaker 3: Shod, take my number.
[1:13:58] Speaker 2: You know how many motherfucking numbers I got on my
[1:14:00] Speaker 2: phone from niggas that played me?
[1:14:01] Speaker 3: Because I'm a cool nigga.
[1:14:02] Speaker 1: Me too.
[1:14:03] Speaker 3: Niggas, hit me up.
[1:14:04] Speaker 1: Me too. What's up, Shod?
[1:14:05] Speaker 3: Me too.
[1:14:06] Speaker 1: These were old friends.
[1:14:07] Speaker 3: Me too. These were old friends.
[1:14:08] Speaker 1: These not workers. No NBA players hit me.
[1:14:10] Speaker 3: These were not co-workers.
[1:14:12] Speaker 6: These were old friends that I lost touch with. So
[1:14:15] Speaker 6: I don't mean to get so out of sight, out
[1:14:16] Speaker 6: of mind in the NBA. So to make an argument, right?
[1:14:21] Speaker 6: To make an argument to prove a point, right? To
[1:14:24] Speaker 6: make an argument to prove a point.
[1:14:26] Speaker 2: Once again, Rashad, you played for how long?
[1:14:30] Speaker 1: Not enough. No, you played for four years, right?
[1:14:32] Speaker 3: Not long enough. You're asking me a rhetorical question.
[1:14:35] Speaker 2: And I played for 15, so who had more teammates?
[1:14:38] Speaker 2: The guy that played for 15 years or four years?
[1:14:41] Speaker 1: What does that have to do with anything? Because more teammates.
[1:14:48] Speaker 6: Who's your opportunity to have more guys to be friends with?
[1:14:51] Speaker 1: Bro, you beat people up. Three people. You beat people up.
[1:14:57] Speaker 2: Three people.
[1:14:58] Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
[1:15:00] Speaker 3: It's 450 people in the league. Man, everybody's scared of you.
[1:15:02] Speaker 1: Man, what are you talking about?
[1:15:04] Speaker 3: Who? Everybody.
[1:15:05] Speaker 2: Ain't nobody scared of me.
[1:15:07] Speaker 6: What's the theme music for him? Nobody scared of me.
[1:15:11] Speaker 6: Please play his theme music. Ain't nobody scared of me.
[1:15:13] Speaker 1: Oh, man.
[1:15:13] Speaker 3: For what?
[1:15:16] Speaker 1: For what?
[1:15:17] Speaker 3: I don't bother nobody. You punch T-Mac.
[1:15:22] Speaker 1: You punch T-Mac.
[1:15:23] Speaker 3: That was a reaction.
[1:15:24] Speaker 1: He got up too quick, Sean.
[1:15:25] Speaker 3: That was a reaction. He got up too quick. That
[1:15:27] Speaker 3: was a reaction.
[1:15:28] Speaker 1: T-Mac can't get enough.
[1:15:29] Speaker 3: Like, I want to be friends with you.
[1:15:30] Speaker 1: That was a reaction. Now, to be honest.
[1:15:32] Speaker 3: Are we cool now?
[1:15:33] Speaker 1: Yes. To be honest, like, cool, not friends. Real friendship
[1:15:38] Speaker 1: in the NBA, this shit is hard.
[1:15:40] Speaker 5: That is not an easy thing because it's moving parts, right?
[1:15:45] Speaker 5: You can be traded. You can be there. Um, it
[1:15:48] Speaker 5: is personalities. It's who-who-who bomb the most.
[1:15:51] Speaker 1: And when you're in the.
[1:15:52] Speaker 5: When you're... When you're playing in the season, we're not
[1:15:56] Speaker 5: trying to really bond. You know, we might have the
[1:15:58] Speaker 5: same interests as go to the club, throw the strip club.
[1:16:00] Speaker 1: Like, you know what I mean? Like, so it's really
[1:16:03] Speaker 1: hard to just say we're friends more than we are
[1:16:06] Speaker 1: coworkers that get along, right?
[1:16:08] Speaker 2: I go to lunch, I fuck with him.
[1:16:10] Speaker 5: We go to the strip club, he pay for the bill,
[1:16:11] Speaker 5: I pay for the bill.
[1:16:12] Speaker 3: But in the summer, I don't call that motherfucker.
[1:16:15] Speaker 2: But it's, and it was easier for you and Nick
[1:16:18] Speaker 2: because y'all are from.
[1:16:19] Speaker 3: Here.
[1:16:20] Speaker 6: Here.
[1:16:21] Speaker 2: Even though I never came here. But y'all are from here.
[1:16:24] Speaker 2: We laughed at the same bullshit.
[1:16:26] Speaker 1: We thought the same thing.
[1:16:27] Speaker 2: During the summer when I went back to Dallas, wasn't
[1:16:30] Speaker 2: nobody from Dallas that I played on the team with.
[1:16:35] Speaker 2: And then Jersey.
[1:16:38] Speaker 6: Everything y'all saying is exactly why I don't have no
[1:16:42] Speaker 6: NBA friends.
[1:16:42] Speaker 1: Me neither.
[1:16:43] Speaker 6: Everything y'all saying is why, because niggas is saying they
[1:16:48] Speaker 6: don't want to have friends.
[1:16:49] Speaker 1: It's like, hey, if we cool, we cool.
[1:16:52] Speaker 3: I came from a different era, bro, where if we cool,
[1:16:55] Speaker 3: we cool.
[1:16:57] Speaker 6: This is my nigga right here. Play on my team
[1:16:59] Speaker 6: or not. Summertime or not. Bro, if we kicking it,
[1:17:03] Speaker 6: me and Al Jefferson, we were friends.
[1:17:05] Speaker 1: We were friends.
[1:17:07] Speaker 3: But we played on the same team.
[1:17:10] Speaker 1: Summertime.
[1:17:11] Speaker 3: We fishing. We fishing. We getting to work.
[1:17:16] Speaker 1: It's the homie. It's the homie. He got traded. We
[1:17:20] Speaker 1: lost touch. But when I see him, that's the homie.
[1:17:24] Speaker 1: It's out of sight, out of mind. Nah, you can't
[1:17:26] Speaker 1: do that. Like, listen, me and Javaris, that was my
[1:17:30] Speaker 1: third friend. Right? We got in trouble.
[1:17:33] Speaker 2: We got in trouble together.
[1:17:35] Speaker 3: Right?
[1:17:35] Speaker 2: We got in trouble.

[1:17:58] Speaker 2: People get caught on phones every.
[1:18:00] Speaker 1: Day in prison.
[1:18:00] Speaker 5: But no matter what happened, the friendship is still there
[1:18:05] Speaker 5: because you genuinely.
[1:18:05] Speaker 3: You didn't do it, Joe.
[1:18:06] Speaker 2: Chill out. You okay.
[1:18:07] Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I need to check. Like,

[1:18:24] Speaker 6: I fucking call his phone and FaceTime with him?
[1:18:26] Speaker 1: Should.
[1:18:27] Speaker 6: But 100% you hit Bassey right now and say, hey,

[1:18:31] Speaker 1: That's family.
[1:18:32] Speaker 3: That's family.
[1:18:33] Speaker 2: That means that you should, though.
[1:18:34] Speaker 1: That's family.
[1:18:35] Speaker 3: But it's different when you from.
[1:18:37] Speaker 1: Something else, bro.
[1:18:38] Speaker 5: I don't even know what y'all talk about. I don't
[1:18:40] Speaker 5: even know what y'all talk about. But as a friend,
[1:18:44] Speaker 5: you got to hit him up to see how he doing.
[1:18:47] Speaker 3: Right?
[1:18:47] Speaker 1: We were perfect.
[1:18:50] Speaker 2: Athletes.
[1:18:51] Speaker 1: So a majority of us, how we got there is
[1:18:54] Speaker 1: our ego.
[1:18:56] Speaker 5: Right? So we are too proud to hit each other.
[1:18:58] Speaker 5: You shouldn't be too proud to hit your friend up.

[1:26:40] Speaker 1: Dome to take on the Clippers for the second time
[1:26:42] Speaker 1: this season after taking a loss in their first meeting.
[1:26:44] Speaker 1: You said Phoenix. What?

[1:27:05] Speaker 1: I can't be mad no more. I can't be mad.
[1:27:07] Speaker 1: So the Lakers returned to the Clippers home arena for
[1:27:12] Speaker 1: the second time this season after taking a loss in
[1:27:14] Speaker 1: their first meeting. But this time they had the new
[1:27:17] Speaker 1: face of the franchise with them as Luka Doncic. was
[1:27:20] Speaker 1: on the bench for his first official game with the
[1:27:21] Speaker 1: Purple and Gold, and LeBron and company put on a
[1:27:24] Speaker 1: show for their new teammate. Let's take a look at
[1:27:26] Speaker 1: the highlights if we can. We were watching this on playback.
[1:27:30] Speaker 1: After being named Western Conference Player of the Week and
[1:27:33] Speaker 1: surpassing MJ as the oldest player in league history to
[1:27:35] Speaker 1: win that award, LeBron picked up where he left off
[1:27:38] Speaker 1: this week, helping the Lakers take a 16-point lead in
[1:27:40] Speaker 1: the first quarter and never looking back. LeBron finished with
[1:27:43] Speaker 1: 26 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, three steals. He was
[1:27:46] Speaker 1: eight for 13 from the field. Austin Reeves added 20 points,

[1:28:32] Speaker 1: added 17, while Kawhi and Harden were held to just
[1:28:34] Speaker 1: 18 points combined in the game. Lakers have won seven
[1:28:38] Speaker 1: of their last eight games.
[1:28:39] Speaker 3: Yeah, Kawhi.
[1:28:40] Speaker 1: Fucked up our pick-em yesterday. Now just a game behind
[1:28:43] Speaker 1: the Nuggets for the fourth spot in the West. Also
[1:28:44] Speaker 1: have to mention, Bronny James knocked down his first career three.
[1:28:47] Speaker 1: We'll have more on that in a moment in his
[1:28:50] Speaker 1: flawless Black History Month today.
[1:28:52] Speaker 2: But after the game, LeBron was... You didn't listen to
[1:28:54] Speaker 2: shit the other day, huh? I tell facts on this show.
[1:28:58] Speaker 2: He got a flawless black history month. No, we're going
[1:29:00] Speaker 2: to let Bronny have his three. We ain't going to
[1:29:02] Speaker 2: discuss it.
[1:29:03] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
[1:29:03] Speaker 2: You definitely said it. I said we're going to let
[1:29:05] Speaker 2: him have his success.
[1:29:06] Speaker 3: I think he was ignoring you.
[1:29:07] Speaker 2: I think he fucking ignored me, too.
[1:29:08] Speaker 1: I think he fucking did it on purpose.
[1:29:09] Speaker 6: I think he's trying to flatten them tires on the bike.
[1:29:13] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:29:14] Speaker 1: Try to flatten the tie.
[1:29:15] Speaker 3: You don't think it's still squeaky?
[1:29:16] Speaker 1: I'm not taking my chain in no more. We got Luka.
[1:29:20] Speaker 1: We got Luka here now. We did the crackhead check.
[1:29:22] Speaker 5: Let's talk about Luka.
[1:29:24] Speaker 1: We will talk about Luka. Let's keep it moving.
[1:29:26] Speaker 2: Because we're going to let Bron have his success.
[1:29:27] Speaker 1: He made his three. Congratulations and move the fuck up. Okay, well,
[1:29:31] Speaker 1: we'll do that.
[1:29:32] Speaker 3: We will do that for him. Yeah, Joe.
[1:29:34] Speaker 1: You are absolutely right.
[1:29:35] Speaker 3: We'll do that.
[1:29:41] Speaker 6: Let him hit that three.
[1:29:43] Speaker 3: Let him hit that three.
[1:29:46] Speaker 1: Next, let's go.
[1:29:47] Speaker 2: Can't do that on your first one, though.
[1:29:50] Speaker 1: Back to the real one. You ain't made one. When
[1:29:52] Speaker 1: you won for 10, you can't do it. Yeah, that.
[1:29:53] Speaker 2: He burned me.
[1:29:54] Speaker 3: No, motherfucker.
[1:29:55] Speaker 8: He burned me down 30. Motherfucker, you should have did this. Motherfucker,
[1:29:58] Speaker 8: you got to listen. Remind me of Birdman down 30.
[1:30:05] Speaker 8: Down 30, dawg.
[1:30:07] Speaker 3: Throwing it off the glass.
[1:30:09] Speaker 5: Like, no.
[1:30:10] Speaker 1: Everybody sitting there like, no, Birdman. Read the rules. After
[1:30:15] Speaker 1: the game, LeBron was asked if he had any concerns
[1:30:18] Speaker 1: with the Lakers no longer being on his timeline and
[1:30:21] Speaker 1: building towards the future with Luka and had this to say.
[1:30:24] Speaker 3: What's wrong with that?
[1:30:26] Speaker 11: If I had concerns, I would have waved my no
[1:30:29] Speaker 11: trade clause and got a body here.
[1:30:33] Speaker 1: You still feel like, you said earlier this year, right?
[1:30:36] Speaker 3: You still envision yourself finishing your career here? I mean, listen,
[1:30:41] Speaker 3: I'm here right now.
[1:30:43] Speaker 1: I'm here right now.
[1:30:44] Speaker 3: I'm committed to the Lakers organization.
[1:30:45] Speaker 11: I'm here to help Luka and Maxi make the transition
[1:30:50] Speaker 11: as smooth as possible. Smoove been here before, so he
[1:30:53] Speaker 11: already know we about won a championship with him in 2020,
[1:30:55] Speaker 11: so I ain't worried about him. But as a leader
[1:30:59] Speaker 11: of the team, as one of the captains of the team,
[1:31:01] Speaker 11: it's my job to make it as seamless as possible.
[1:31:05] Speaker 1: So, Gilby, you had the same thought when you said
[1:31:07] Speaker 1: Maxi at first. I wasn't thinking Cleaver. I was thinking,
[1:31:09] Speaker 1: are we getting Tyrese too?
[1:31:11] Speaker 3: Here we go.
[1:31:13] Speaker 1: We got Rui Gay missing. Christian Wood. No, I'm just kidding.
[1:31:16] Speaker 1: But so we talk about Lakers no longer being on
[1:31:19] Speaker 1: the bronze timeline, building toward the future with this Luka trade.
[1:31:22] Speaker 1: But let's talk about the now. Lakers looking mighty, mighty
[1:31:24] Speaker 1: good in the Western Conference. Game behind the Nuggets for
[1:31:28] Speaker 1: the fourth spot. Gil, does the Luka trade increase or decrease?
[1:31:32] Speaker 2: 2026, man. Do I got to write the script? Do
[1:31:35] Speaker 2: I got to show you the.
[1:31:36] Speaker 1: You don't even know what the question is. Do I
[1:31:37] Speaker 1: got to show you the script? Do I got to
[1:31:39] Speaker 1: show you the script? It's... I'm sorry, dude, I got
[1:31:43] Speaker 1: to show y'all the script. I hope it was written
[1:31:45] Speaker 1: by Michael Starberry.
[1:31:47] Speaker 3: 2026, man, just let it go.
[1:31:49] Speaker 1: Let that shit go. It's going to be a big
[1:31:52] Speaker 1: summer for Luka.
[1:31:52] Speaker 3: That man, that man, Luka about to beat, just.
[1:31:57] Speaker 1: So, but does the Luka trade increase or decrease your
[1:32:00] Speaker 1: belief the Lakers can be a contender this season? 2026,
[1:32:02] Speaker 1: you're saying they're going to get a chip, but this season,
[1:32:04] Speaker 1: can they be in the running? Hey, man, listen, I'm
[1:32:07] Speaker 1: going to just be honest.
[1:32:10] Speaker 5: We watched Luka night in and night out.
[1:32:17] Speaker 2: We seen his teammates.
[1:32:18] Speaker 5: We seen, you know, who they were, what he did
[1:32:21] Speaker 5: with that, him and Kyrie.
[1:32:24] Speaker 2: I can't put nothing past him.
[1:32:26] Speaker 3: I can't either.
[1:32:27] Speaker 5: I mean, just like what he was doing last year, like,
[1:32:32] Speaker 5: was brilliant basketball. Yeah, we can complain about, you know,
[1:32:36] Speaker 5: not D, running back, crying, all of that. But when
[1:32:40] Speaker 5: he's locked in, that motherfucker's locked in. I think some
[1:32:43] Speaker 5: of those bad habits he has, LeBron is going to
[1:32:46] Speaker 5: help him clean that up.
[1:32:48] Speaker 3: For sure.
[1:32:48] Speaker 1: I think he's going to help him try.
[1:32:50] Speaker 3: For sure. For sure.
[1:32:52] Speaker 1: No, that's the fact. For sure. Yeah, all right.
[1:32:55] Speaker 3: This is going to be a crazy summer for Luka.
[1:32:56] Speaker 2: I don't think nobody's ever noticed this.
[1:32:58] Speaker 1: In 22 years.
[1:32:58] Speaker 5: 22 years of LeBron being on the team, have you
[1:33:04] Speaker 5: ever heard of any scandal or anything of a teammate
[1:33:09] Speaker 5: in the public eye?
[1:33:15] Speaker 3: In the scandal?
[1:33:15] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
[1:33:17] Speaker 3: That's a teammate of LeBron's?
[1:33:18] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
[1:33:19] Speaker 2: Tristan Thompson?
[1:33:20] Speaker 1: He wasn't there. Not a scandal, just an unfortunate situation.
[1:33:26] Speaker 1: That was media bringing that, but you've never seen, like,
[1:33:29] Speaker 1: Pulled over, nothing.
[1:33:33] Speaker 5: He teaches the people how to move.
[1:33:37] Speaker 2: On and off. On and off the floor. Like, Luka
[1:33:40] Speaker 2: has to, like.
[1:33:41] Speaker 5: You know, for the most part, who taught Luka how.
[1:33:43] Speaker 2: To be a pro?
[1:33:44] Speaker 3: Dirk wasn't... I mean, him being a pro overseas is how.
[1:33:48] Speaker 2: No, but that's.
[1:33:49] Speaker 1: Over there, like... The EuroLeague is what you're saying, bro.
[1:33:51] Speaker 2: Where it's controlled. Controlled, right? So, practicing twice a day.
[1:33:56] Speaker 2: And 18.
[1:33:56] Speaker 1: He was a kid then. His parents still involved.
[1:33:59] Speaker 5: So he's learning how to, I mean, you just learn
[1:34:02] Speaker 5: something like, so I think just how to be the
[1:34:04] Speaker 5: face of something. I think Luka and Dirk did have
[1:34:06] Speaker 5: one crossover season.
[1:34:08] Speaker 3: No, but that's why I said I like the trade.
[1:34:10] Speaker 3: Whatever happens this year.
[1:34:11] Speaker 1: So, Sean, we heard you laughing in agreement with what
[1:34:14] Speaker 1: Gil said. It's 1-1-1 right now.
[1:34:15] Speaker 3: And it's my turn.
[1:34:16] Speaker 1: Makes sense. So could you play that back?
[1:34:25] Speaker 6: Could you play the LeBron shit back one more time?
[1:34:27] Speaker 1: Let me hear what LeBron said one more time. Can
[1:34:29] Speaker 1: we do a LeBron video one more time? I got
[1:34:30] Speaker 1: kind of confused.
[1:34:31] Speaker 3: I want to hear it. What's wrong with that?
[1:34:32] Speaker 1: What'd he say what's wrong with that to you?
[1:34:34] Speaker 11: My concerns are to waive my no-trade clause and get
[1:34:37] Speaker 11: a body.
[1:34:37] Speaker 1: Being on Luka's timeline?
[1:34:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, what's wrong with that?
[1:34:40] Speaker 1: Okay, pause it.
[1:34:41] Speaker 3: You said earlier this year, right?
[1:34:43] Speaker 1: You said if I was concerned, I would have waived
[1:34:45] Speaker 1: my no-trade clause and said, get me up out of here.
[1:34:48] Speaker 6: So he has no problems handing the keys over to Luka.
[1:34:51] Speaker 6: That's what he's saying, right?
[1:34:53] Speaker 1: All right.
[1:34:54] Speaker 6: So if I'm AD, and we've been saying for the
[1:34:55] Speaker 6: last two years, AD, he refused to give you the keys.
[1:35:00] Speaker 1: He refused to give you the keys. Who said that?
[1:35:03] Speaker 6: All you need are the keys, and you could be
[1:35:05] Speaker 6: the franchise player.
[1:35:07] Speaker 1: But he refused to give you the keys. LeBron said
[1:35:10] Speaker 1: he would give him the keys.
[1:35:12] Speaker 6: Soon as he leave, we're going to make it as
[1:35:16] Speaker 6: smooth of a transition as possible.
[1:35:18] Speaker 1: You had the transition. The transition was there.
[1:35:23] Speaker 3: Just move. Nigga, get out the way.
[1:35:27] Speaker 6: So it don't make sense for him to say it now,
[1:35:29] Speaker 6: and then it's like you just made a move for Luka,
[1:35:30] Speaker 6: and now you want to move out the way. When
[1:35:34] Speaker 6: you had AD and you could have moved out the way,
[1:35:36] Speaker 6: you didn't want to move out the way. And the
[1:35:38] Speaker 6: way he played last night, it don't look like he's
[1:35:39] Speaker 6: moving out nobody way, no time soon.
[1:35:43] Speaker 1: No time soon. Did y'all watch him play last night? Yeah,
[1:35:46] Speaker 1: who's going to move out the way for him?
[1:35:48] Speaker 6: Luka's more proof. He's not going to slow down. Like,
[1:35:52] Speaker 6: he sped up last night.
[1:35:54] Speaker 1: He sped up that. Yeah, there's nobody on the team.
[1:35:56] Speaker 3: Exactly. What's going to be the reason to slow down?
[1:36:00] Speaker 2: Luka Doncic.
[1:36:00] Speaker 1: No. No.
[1:36:02] Speaker 6: It's still LeBron James out there. And I can still
[1:36:04] Speaker 6: speed up.
[1:36:05] Speaker 2: There's Luka Doncic?
[1:36:10] Speaker 6: A lesser LeBron James with a Luka Doncic out there,
[1:36:13] Speaker 6: what does that do for the Lakers?
[1:36:16] Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing.
[1:36:17] Speaker 6: You needed a LeBron James and an AD at this
[1:36:19] Speaker 6: level for them to even be fifth.
[1:36:20] Speaker 1: The problem is, we've all tried to put A.D. at
[1:36:25] Speaker 1: a level he just probably.
[1:36:26] Speaker 5: Like, have we figured... He just probably one of those
[1:36:30] Speaker 5: guys who don't go to that level.
[1:36:32] Speaker 3: What level?
[1:36:32] Speaker 1: He is a 28, 13.
[1:36:34] Speaker 2: Cool, but he's... 25.
[1:36:36] Speaker 3: Well, last year, he was, like, 27.
[1:36:38] Speaker 2: Like, we're saying.
[1:36:39] Speaker 6: What level do he need to go to?
[1:36:41] Speaker 1: Another level. It's another level.
[1:36:43] Speaker 3: It's guys that's your position that's averaging 30. That's averaging 31, 32.
[1:36:48] Speaker 3: I'm third. So AD, 26.
[1:36:49] Speaker 1: You okay with being third? Okay, if Melo was there.
[1:36:53] Speaker 1: I got the greatest feeling in the world on my team.
[1:36:56] Speaker 1: I should be okay with being third.
[1:36:57] Speaker 2: If a young Melo was there, you.
[1:37:00] Speaker 1: Think it'd be hard for him to get those keys? Who?
[1:37:02] Speaker 2: Colt.
[1:37:03] Speaker 1: Who, Luka or who? What are you talking about?
[1:37:05] Speaker 2: Young Melo over in L.A. Win LeBron.
[1:37:10] Speaker 1: Denver Mello. Carmelo.
[1:37:11] Speaker 2: Denver Mello or.
[1:37:13] Speaker 3: No, no.
[1:37:14] Speaker 2: There's only one. There's only one Mello. There's LaMelo Ball
[1:37:17] Speaker 2: and there's LaMelo. On this show, there's only one Mello.
[1:37:20] Speaker 1: You know the rules, right?
[1:37:21] Speaker 3: LaMelo.
[1:37:22] Speaker 2: LaMelo on this show, there's only one Mello on this show.
[1:37:25] Speaker 3: Respect. On this show. One Jello as well.
[1:37:27] Speaker 2: LeBron.
[1:37:28] Speaker 1: And 7 p.m.
[1:37:29] Speaker 2: In Brooklyn, I'm pretty sure there's only one Mello on
[1:37:31] Speaker 2: that show.
[1:37:32] Speaker 5: Yeah, 38 and 39, LeBron James.
[1:37:34] Speaker 1: And Mello was the Denver Mello or that New York Mello.
[1:37:38] Speaker 5: Or Kobe, you think we gonna be sitting here telling
[1:37:42] Speaker 5: them to take the keys?
[1:37:44] Speaker 2: No, they would have been took the motherfuckers.
[1:37:46] Speaker 5: They would have been took the motherfucking keys from LeBron James.
[1:37:50] Speaker 2: And say, hey, we will take.
[1:37:52] Speaker 3: No, it's not because it's LeBron James, bro.
[1:37:55] Speaker 1: It was Shaquille O'Neal, and we see how that happened.
[1:37:57] Speaker 3: Yeah, Dwyane Wade said, watch out.
[1:37:58] Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the personality of the person. It's the personality.
[1:38:01] Speaker 2: He don't have the personality.
[1:38:03] Speaker 1: Okay, LeBron went to Miami.
[1:38:04] Speaker 3: Who took the keys?
[1:38:05] Speaker 1: Nobody. Nobody.
[1:38:10] Speaker 2: He was the number one option.
[1:38:11] Speaker 3: I mean, they didn't have that.
[1:38:12] Speaker 1: He was the number one option.
[1:38:14] Speaker 6: Whose fucking place was it? Whose house was it? Whose
[1:38:17] Speaker 6: house was it? Dwyane Wade's. All right, now, LeBron didn't
[1:38:20] Speaker 6: have the keys to my house. He didn't have, he
[1:38:23] Speaker 6: couldn't get in. All of a sudden, he's sleeping in
[1:38:28] Speaker 6: my room.
[1:38:28] Speaker 1: You let him in, okay? He has the keys. It's
[1:38:32] Speaker 1: his now.
[1:38:33] Speaker 6: We won two championships with me giving him the keys
[1:38:35] Speaker 6: to let him sleep in my room.
[1:38:37] Speaker 5: A.D.
[1:38:37] Speaker 1: Hey, this.
[1:38:39] Speaker 3: It's my house, bro. It's not, not, not.
[1:38:41] Speaker 6: AD, you sleeping in that room. And now I just
[1:38:45] Speaker 6: kicked you out the crib.
[1:38:46] Speaker 3: Same scenario, right?
[1:38:47] Speaker 5: Get out.
[1:38:48] Speaker 1: Same scenario.
[1:38:49] Speaker 3: I got a new roommate.
[1:38:50] Speaker 1: No, same scenario, right?
[1:38:52] Speaker 2: I opened the door for you, gave you the keys,
[1:38:54] Speaker 2: and you continue to want to go sleep in the
[1:38:56] Speaker 2: guest room.
[1:38:56] Speaker 3: You never gave me the keys, AD.
[1:38:57] Speaker 1: I did.
[1:38:57] Speaker 3: The whole city gave me. The whole city been waiting. No,
[1:39:01] Speaker 3: you being here is not having the keys. You never
[1:39:04] Speaker 3: played without the keys.
[1:39:05] Speaker 1: My age gave me.
[1:39:05] Speaker 3: You never played without.
[1:39:07] Speaker 1: No, you're lying. We just watched him play yesterday.
[1:39:10] Speaker 6: His age is not giving nothing away.
[1:39:12] Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is not here no more.
[1:39:14] Speaker 1: Luka's not there no more.
[1:39:15] Speaker 3: Come on, man. LeBron James is an all-star this year.
[1:39:19] Speaker 1: LeBron has said in previous seasons, I want to give
[1:39:22] Speaker 1: AD the keys, but he got to come take them.
[1:39:23] Speaker 1: He got to come take them? Here, I'm dangling them.
[1:39:25] Speaker 1: He said that in a press conference. He said AD
[1:39:28] Speaker 1: needs to come and take the keys from me.
[1:39:31] Speaker 3: I'm sure he didn't. They wouldn't be good friends if
[1:39:33] Speaker 3: that was the case. Why not?
[1:39:34] Speaker 6: Because you can't say that to me without just giving
[1:39:36] Speaker 6: it to me. Don't say that to the public. Nigga,
[1:39:38] Speaker 6: just give me the keys and move out the way.
[1:39:40] Speaker 2: What if you're not doing so this season?
[1:39:42] Speaker 3: Obviously.
[1:39:44] Speaker 1: You just wanted to give it to him. Obviously, you're
[1:39:46] Speaker 1: just a number two. You're just a great number two.
[1:39:49] Speaker 1: There's some great number twos. You're just not a leader. Who?
[1:39:52] Speaker 1: Who not a leader?
[1:39:54] Speaker 2: It's just great number twos.
[1:39:57] Speaker 1: Who's not a leader? We literally... Your favorite player of
[1:40:00] Speaker 1: all time.
[1:40:01] Speaker 2: You just say he's not a leader?
[1:40:03] Speaker 5: The guy is a three-time... Three-time finals MVP.
[1:40:09] Speaker 1: And he's sitting there like, yo, this my team.
[1:40:11] Speaker 5: He ain't... You a three-time Finals MVP, and you have
[1:40:15] Speaker 5: a guy sitting there, nah, this is my... He missed
[1:40:18] Speaker 5: the eight games of the season. Shaq missed eight games
[1:40:22] Speaker 5: in the 0-2-0-3 season, and he couldn't get that number.
[1:40:25] Speaker 1: One spot back. This is my team now. Why do
[1:40:28] Speaker 1: you always go to Shaq and Kobe? Because we watch
[1:40:31] Speaker 1: what a personality do.
[1:40:34] Speaker 2: Either you want it or you don't.
[1:40:36] Speaker 1: There's no giving it to you.
[1:40:38] Speaker 6: That's one scenario in the NBA history that's so delicate
[1:40:42] Speaker 6: that you keep bringing up because it's the only case,
[1:40:46] Speaker 6: the only case where Kobe and Shaq had to delegate
[1:40:50] Speaker 6: who was going to be the main guy.
[1:40:53] Speaker 3: It was because someone left. Someone left. That was a
[1:40:57] Speaker 3: delegation of power.
[1:40:59] Speaker 2: That's what happened before. What happened?
[1:41:00] Speaker 3: I'm too cold with this shit, bro. Why was there
[1:41:02] Speaker 3: a delegation?
[1:41:03] Speaker 1: You're too fucking cold.
[1:41:03] Speaker 3: With this shit.
[1:41:04] Speaker 2: Why was there a delegation?
[1:41:05] Speaker 1: You don't think it was a conversation? Because you had
[1:41:07] Speaker 1: two number ones. But there was a two number ones.
[1:41:10] Speaker 3: Well, I mean, well.
[1:41:11] Speaker 2: There was never two number ones.
[1:41:12] Speaker 3: The Golden State had two number ones.
[1:41:14] Speaker 2: There was never no two number ones.
[1:41:16] Speaker 1: It was Shaquille O'Neal number one. And then Kobe's... How do.
[1:41:20] Speaker 6: We get over here, though? I don't want to get
[1:41:21] Speaker 6: over here with Kobe now. We talking about LeBron and them.
[1:41:24] Speaker 6: That's how you be switching the shit. That's how you
[1:41:26] Speaker 6: be switching the shit. We just switched the shit from
[1:41:29] Speaker 6: talking about LeBron James.
[1:41:30] Speaker 3: Now you talk about Kobe and Shaq. And you thought
[1:41:33] Speaker 3: you would.
[1:41:33] Speaker 6: Slickly just do that shit.
[1:41:35] Speaker 1: We watch you in real time. We're not doing that, man.
[1:41:38] Speaker 3: Kobe, stop bringing Kobe Bryant into this.
[1:41:40] Speaker 9: Shit, man.
[1:41:41] Speaker 1: He took it.
[1:41:41] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was saying. He took it.
[1:41:43] Speaker 1: He wasn't giving it to Shaqton. Give it to him.
[1:41:45] Speaker 1: He took it. Give me that.
[1:41:46] Speaker 3: So when you're talking about.
[1:41:47] Speaker 6: Name somebody else besides them two. Name somebody else.
[1:41:50] Speaker 1: Melo coming to the Knicks. Give me that.
[1:41:53] Speaker 6: Talk about AI going to Denver. Talk about AI going
[1:41:55] Speaker 6: to Denver.
[1:41:56] Speaker 2: It's still Melo team.
[1:41:57] Speaker 1: Who team was it?
[1:41:57] Speaker 3: It was Melo team.
[1:41:59] Speaker 1: It was Melo team. When A.I.
[1:42:01] Speaker 3: Was in Denver, it was still Melo's team.
[1:42:03] Speaker 1: Was there two number ones?
[1:42:04] Speaker 2: No, there was never number two number ones.
[1:42:05] Speaker 1: How much they average? Same.
[1:42:07] Speaker 4: Same.
[1:42:09] Speaker 5: Same.
[1:42:09] Speaker 3: Exactly the same.
[1:42:10] Speaker 1: Same. Exactly. 25, 25, 25. 25 point what? I don't
[1:42:12] Speaker 1: give a fuck what the race is.
[1:42:16] Speaker 5: 10 flat and 10.1, motherfucker. There's first place and second place.
[1:42:23] Speaker 1: Don't pull it up. Right?
[1:42:27] Speaker 5: Unless they average exactly the same and say co-NVP and
[1:42:30] Speaker 5: some shit on it, it's not even.
[1:42:32] Speaker 1: There's always one and two.
[1:42:33] Speaker 3: Hey, get them keys.
[1:42:35] Speaker 1: It's just weird to be on the key shit.
[1:42:36] Speaker 3: Don't be on the key shit now.
[1:42:38] Speaker 1: I mean, now let's get into Omari, right? Melo did
[1:42:41] Speaker 1: to Omari. That's the year of the trade. Then let
[1:42:43] Speaker 1: me see the next year. Russell tried that shit. Russell
[1:42:46] Speaker 1: tried that shit with KD, right? There was a battle
[1:42:49] Speaker 1: of power. Ooh, AI average. Don't do it.
[1:42:52] Speaker 3: Don't do it.
[1:42:53] Speaker 1: Don't do it. First season after the trade, Melo was
[1:42:56] Speaker 1: at 28. I think AI was like 25. First full
[1:42:59] Speaker 1: season playing together, AI was at 26.4.
[1:43:01] Speaker 2: Melo was at 25.6.
[1:43:01] Speaker 1: Excuse me? I know.
[1:43:02] Speaker 5: 26.6.
[1:43:02] Speaker 1: 26 and 25. 26 and 25.
[1:43:08] Speaker 3: Who was up?
[1:43:09] Speaker 1: Melo took more shots, though. Who was... No, no, no.
[1:43:11] Speaker 1: Who was up?
[1:43:12] Speaker 3: Hmm?
[1:43:13] Speaker 1: AI.
[1:43:13] Speaker 2: AI averaged more points.
[1:43:14] Speaker 3: It was, right? So, I was right.
[1:43:16] Speaker 5: So, wait, wait.
[1:43:17] Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. So, wait, wait, wait. Give me my credit, bro.
[1:43:19] Speaker 1: I just want to be validated.
[1:43:21] Speaker 6: So, y'all don't be calling me out.
[1:43:23] Speaker 1: He's crazy.
[1:43:23] Speaker 3: He be saying everything. I know my shit, bro.
[1:43:26] Speaker 2: It was not.
[1:43:27] Speaker 3: I know my shit.
[1:43:28] Speaker 1: Did Allen Iverson take it or was he given it?
[1:43:29] Speaker 2: It was not.
[1:43:30] Speaker 3: That's still your point. He was there.
[1:43:31] Speaker 6: He was there. He was there. But why did Chuck
[1:43:35] Speaker 6: average more? What are we talking about?
[1:43:38] Speaker 1: It's Chuck. So, did he take it or was he
[1:43:40] Speaker 1: given it? You got to ask him.
[1:43:43] Speaker 3: No, that's your point. No, you got to ask him.
[1:43:44] Speaker 3: He was there.
[1:43:46] Speaker 1: I know who averaged more. So that means he took it. No,
[1:43:49] Speaker 1: it don't mean it.
[1:43:50] Speaker 3: What does it mean?
[1:43:51] Speaker 6: It just means that that man came over there just
[1:43:53] Speaker 6: like anybody else in a situation where you got AD.
[1:43:57] Speaker 1: I came here. Right? I came here.
[1:44:00] Speaker 3: Now, all of a.
[1:44:00] Speaker 1: Sudden, you on your way out.
[1:44:02] Speaker 3: You get your peaks.
[1:44:03] Speaker 1: You get your accomplishment.
[1:44:05] Speaker 3: You post that.
[1:44:06] Speaker 1: Soon as we go over this, man, here. Okay. That
[1:44:09] Speaker 1: never happened.
[1:44:10] Speaker 5: So did Mello hand it to Allen Iverson?
[1:44:12] Speaker 2: Just came in being him.
[1:44:13] Speaker 1: Okay.
[1:44:14] Speaker 5: Did Amari hand it to.
[1:44:16] Speaker 1: Just came in being him. How old were they? Was
[1:44:18] Speaker 1: he 40?
[1:44:20] Speaker 6: That makes Allen Iverson wasn't 40.
[1:44:22] Speaker 2: That makes it worse then, right?
[1:44:24] Speaker 6: So you should automatically, it shouldn't even be a conversation.
[1:44:26] Speaker 1: Who got the keys?
[1:44:27] Speaker 3: If you were 40.
[1:44:28] Speaker 6: We shouldn't be talking about giving me the keys.
[1:44:30] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
[1:44:32] Speaker 5: What is stopping you from demanding the motherfucking keys?
[1:44:35] Speaker 1: You're LeBron James. You're LeBron.
[1:44:38] Speaker 6: LeBron has never been the guy to get off the
[1:44:41] Speaker 6: ball like that.
[1:44:41] Speaker 1: He's the number one guy. Hold on. What is stopping you?
[1:44:44] Speaker 2: Yo, so let's, so just... Let's slow down here, right?
[1:44:48] Speaker 2: I'm just stopping you from.
[1:44:50] Speaker 1: Let's talk about it in basketball.
[1:44:52] Speaker 8: Right.
[1:44:53] Speaker 2: Anthony Davis' numbers with New Orleans are similar to the
[1:44:57] Speaker 2: numbers he has now. Probably average more points than New Orleans,
[1:45:00] Speaker 2: but they're similar. It ain't by much. Like two or three. Right, whatever.
[1:45:05] Speaker 2: I don't even think it's that.
[1:45:08] Speaker 1: At his peak with the Pelicans, he averaged 28 and 11.
[1:45:10] Speaker 1: 28 and 11.
[1:45:11] Speaker 2: This season, he averaged 26 last year. He's averaging 26
[1:45:13] Speaker 2: and 12. So it's two-point difference, right? Three points difference.
[1:45:15] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
[1:45:19] Speaker 2: We are talking about the fourth quarter and winning the
[1:45:23] Speaker 2: game here. This is what we're talking about here. And
[1:45:27] Speaker 2: giving somebody the keys. And them taking over, right?
[1:45:31] Speaker 3: So we're talking about the fourth quarter now?
[1:45:33] Speaker 1: No, this is what... Because the average is the third.
[1:45:36] Speaker 2: Because the points are the same. Everything is the same
[1:45:39] Speaker 2: for Anthony Davis, right?
[1:45:40] Speaker 3: Except for responsibility.
[1:45:42] Speaker 2: Hear me out, right? Once again, to the point that
[1:45:46] Speaker 2: I make about bigs. Once again, we are reliant on
[1:45:51] Speaker 2: the other guy giving us the ball. And if my
[1:45:55] Speaker 2: personality is not that I'm going every offensive rebound, I'm
[1:45:59] Speaker 2: going to go get it, or I'm going to make
[1:46:01] Speaker 2: a scene to get the ball, or I'm going to
[1:46:03] Speaker 2: demand that motherfucker.
[1:46:05] Speaker 1: That's not his personality.
[1:46:06] Speaker 6: It's not Joker's personality either. He's the best player. He's
[1:46:09] Speaker 6: number one option.
[1:46:09] Speaker 1: Yeah, but he doesn't demand the ball.
[1:46:11] Speaker 2: He's the number one. He goes to get it off
[1:46:13] Speaker 2: the glass, but he's the number one option.
[1:46:15] Speaker 3: His personnel shows that.
[1:46:16] Speaker 1: Like you just said, his personnel. He started off as
[1:46:18] Speaker 1: the number two option.
[1:46:19] Speaker 3: He's the number one option.
[1:46:19] Speaker 1: He started off as the number two option. I don't
[1:46:21] Speaker 1: have a LeBron James in front of him.
[1:46:23] Speaker 2: My point is that, but he's the number one option, right?
[1:46:26] Speaker 2: So they're going to go through him. He don't have
[1:46:28] Speaker 2: a LeBron James.
[1:46:28] Speaker 1: Right.
[1:46:29] Speaker 6: Right?
[1:46:29] Speaker 3: Right.
[1:46:32] Speaker 2: If you put Anthony Davis in this... So Luka coming
[1:46:37] Speaker 2: into this situation, right? He's a delegator of responsibilities. LeBron
[1:46:43] Speaker 2: is delegates who get shots, right? Luka does the same thing.
[1:46:48] Speaker 2: Luka rebounds as well as LeBron. He brings it up.
[1:46:52] Speaker 2: They delegate. If Anthony Davis, like I said about Zach Eady,
[1:46:56] Speaker 2: if he played a different position, it might look different.
[1:47:00] Speaker 3: So I got a question for you.
[1:47:01] Speaker 2: But he doesn't, so... His personality is.
[1:47:09] Speaker 1: I'm a really good basketball player.
[1:47:11] Speaker 2: I get it done. If you're not throwing it to me,
[1:47:16] Speaker 2: I'm not going to demand it.
[1:47:18] Speaker 6: So I'm going to ask you a question. I'm not
[1:47:19] Speaker 6: going to complain. And I'm not going to complain about it.
[1:47:21] Speaker 6: So on what you said, New Orleans, he was number
[1:47:23] Speaker 6: one option.
[1:47:24] Speaker 5: Yep. Right?
[1:47:25] Speaker 1: Yep.
[1:47:25] Speaker 6: So if you take LeBron James off this team, what
[1:47:30] Speaker 6: is he?
[1:47:32] Speaker 2: If I take LeBron James off the team, he's the
[1:47:35] Speaker 2: number one option.
[1:47:35] Speaker 1: Okay.
[1:47:36] Speaker 6: So if you put anybody else on the team other
[1:47:39] Speaker 6: than LeBron James, is Anthony Davis going to be the
[1:47:42] Speaker 6: number one option?
[1:47:43] Speaker 2: Depends on who comes. Depends on who comes.
[1:47:46] Speaker 3: Depends. You want to say small forward? Another small forward?
[1:47:51] Speaker 3: Any other small forward?
[1:47:52] Speaker 6: That's point guard.
[1:47:54] Speaker 1: That's too much. It's going too far. You said put
[1:47:57] Speaker 1: anybody else.
[1:47:58] Speaker 5: I put Shea. We know how Shea plays. You put Shea.
[1:48:02] Speaker 1: With Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis is the number two option.
[1:48:06] Speaker 5: You put Giannis with LeBron right now. You think Giannis
[1:48:12] Speaker 5: is slowing down for LeBron?
[1:48:14] Speaker 1: No. His personality is not.
[1:48:16] Speaker 6: Bro, you take LeBron off that team, he's the AD
[1:48:20] Speaker 6: number one offense, just like he was in New Orleans.
[1:48:23] Speaker 3: Just like he was.
[1:48:24] Speaker 1: I was the number one guy here.
[1:48:26] Speaker 6: I came here not to be number two. But guess
[1:48:30] Speaker 6: who's on my team? But guess who's on my team?
[1:48:32] Speaker 4: So?
[1:48:32] Speaker 3: He out.
[1:48:33] Speaker 6: No, but when I got here, he wasn't out. But
[1:48:35] Speaker 6: when I got here, he wasn't out. He was LeBron James.
[1:48:38] Speaker 3: He's still LeBron James.
[1:48:39] Speaker 1: So that means what? Nothing has changed.
[1:48:40] Speaker 3: That means I'm still number two.
[1:48:41] Speaker 1: That means go take it. What are you talking about?
[1:48:43] Speaker 2: But he just explained it. He explained it.
[1:48:46] Speaker 1: Can't take it if it's... If you take LeBron off
[1:48:49] Speaker 1: the team, Anthony Davis gets to be number one because
[1:48:52] Speaker 1: there's no power in front of him.
[1:48:53] Speaker 6: Not that type of power. Not that type of power.
[1:48:56] Speaker 6: It's a certain type of power in front of him.
[1:48:58] Speaker 5: But if you put Giannis on his team, Giannis don't
[1:49:01] Speaker 5: give a fuck about the power.
[1:49:02] Speaker 2: Because Giannis knows he.
[1:49:03] Speaker 1: Giannis on LeBron's team?
[1:49:05] Speaker 3: Yes.
[1:49:05] Speaker 1: Oh. Giannis is going to have 33.
[1:49:07] Speaker 3: Giannis is a.
[1:49:08] Speaker 1: Guy that has to get the ball off the rim.
[1:49:10] Speaker 5: Giannis is going to get the ball off the rim
[1:49:11] Speaker 5: and go. He's not looking for the block. He's going
[1:49:13] Speaker 5: to say catch up.
[1:49:15] Speaker 1: Half court. Half court. Okay, half court.
[1:49:17] Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
[1:49:18] Speaker 1: Half court.
[1:49:19] Speaker 6: Now what are we doing half court? You can't just
[1:49:21] Speaker 6: get the ball and rebound and go. Now we got
[1:49:23] Speaker 6: to play half court. You're not AD.
[1:49:24] Speaker 1: Giannis is not stopping his.
[1:49:26] Speaker 2: Game from nobody.
[1:49:27] Speaker 3: Yes, he is.
[1:49:27] Speaker 1: He has to. The problem is, Anthony, Anthony Davis is
[1:49:32] Speaker 1: just nice.
[1:49:34] Speaker 3: No, bro.
[1:49:34] Speaker 1: He's nice. Everybody nice.
[1:49:37] Speaker 6: Everybody nice when it comes to LeBron.
[1:49:39] Speaker 1: You have to. He went to the LeBron skills camp.
[1:49:41] Speaker 3: He was a kid. He grew up with the dude.
[1:49:44] Speaker 3: What does it look like? Me trying to sun my idol.
[1:49:47] Speaker 3: I'm trying to sun my idol. Give me the key. No,
[1:49:49] Speaker 3: you want to blame the idol. Why in the fourth quarter?
[1:49:52] Speaker 1: How many shots does Ruby get in? How many shots
[1:49:55] Speaker 1: does Reed... You can't punk them.
[1:49:57] Speaker 3: Bro, I don't have to punk.
[1:49:59] Speaker 6: It is the coach's job to tell the team, listen, we're.
[1:50:03] Speaker 3: Going through him.
[1:50:04] Speaker 1: But what... Is he making.
[1:50:06] Speaker 3: Is he showing that he wants... Then that means you're
[1:50:08] Speaker 3: not him.
[1:50:08] Speaker 6: What happened with KD when Draymond Green said, I'm not
[1:50:13] Speaker 6: passing it to you, nigga.
[1:50:15] Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a fight between them.
[1:50:18] Speaker 3: Can you tell him to pass me the ball?
[1:50:20] Speaker 6: Kevin Durant did not check him.
[1:50:25] Speaker 1: Thank you.
[1:50:25] Speaker 3: He did not check him.
[1:50:27] Speaker 1: It was never addressed. It was never, man, it's my team.
[1:50:30] Speaker 3: Move! It wasn't no, KD didn't go take that shit
[1:50:34] Speaker 3: and say, nah, man, I'm here now.
[1:50:36] Speaker 2: It's my team.
[1:50:36] Speaker 6: What you talking about?
[1:50:37] Speaker 1: When you get the rebound, pass it to me.
[1:50:39] Speaker 3: He didn't do none of that because that's not what
[1:50:40] Speaker 3: we do.
[1:50:41] Speaker 6: That's why AD didn't do that.
[1:50:43] Speaker 2: He did it. That's why they got into it. That's
[1:50:44] Speaker 2: why they got into it.
[1:50:45] Speaker 3: Yeah, they got two of them.
[1:50:47] Speaker 6: Nobody got into nothing. One guy said something, one guy listened.
[1:50:52] Speaker 6: There was no getting to it.
[1:50:53] Speaker 1: So where is the aggressive part from Anthony Davis?
[1:50:59] Speaker 3: This is the problem.
[1:51:00] Speaker 5: You're talking about a guy who's not being assertive.
[1:51:04] Speaker 6: I'm telling you, Draymond is LeBron in this situation.
[1:51:07] Speaker 1: And KD is AD in this situation.
[1:51:10] Speaker 6: AD is just there like, bro, I'm here trying to
[1:51:13] Speaker 6: feed it.
[1:51:13] Speaker 1: I know I'm the guy. Y'all just, hey, hand it
[1:51:16] Speaker 1: over to me.
[1:51:17] Speaker 3: Hey, hey, listen, listen. We did this without you, my man.
[1:51:19] Speaker 3: We don't need you.
[1:51:20] Speaker 1: I know I'm the guy. What you mean? We're not
[1:51:22] Speaker 1: handing this shit to you. We need a coach to
[1:51:24] Speaker 1: help you. So here we go.
[1:51:26] Speaker 2: So in New Orleans, right, he was the number one option.
[1:51:29] Speaker 1: We agree, right?
[1:51:30] Speaker 2: They added Boogie Cousins to that situation. he still remained
[1:51:35] Speaker 2: the number one option. Boogie averaged 25, he averaged 28.
[1:51:38] Speaker 2: So he is capable when he wanted to be that
[1:51:42] Speaker 2: and wanted to take the shot, because he was number one.
[1:51:44] Speaker 1: Boogie was there for one year, bro. One year. That's
[1:51:47] Speaker 1: not long enough to be a challenge.
[1:51:49] Speaker 2: But they averaged the same number, though.
[1:51:51] Speaker 1: One season.
[1:51:51] Speaker 6: That was a great year for Boogie. So your point,
[1:51:54] Speaker 6: you can't do that, though. But you can't do what
[1:51:56] Speaker 6: you just did.
[1:51:58] Speaker 2: Watch. Allen Iverson and... Carmelo and Anthony only played one
[1:52:01] Speaker 2: full season together, so you can't use that analogy and
[1:52:04] Speaker 2: just say they only played this amount of time together.
[1:52:06] Speaker 2: You can't do that. It's the same shit.
[1:52:08] Speaker 1: Got traded there one season, certain numbers, then they played
[1:52:10] Speaker 1: one full season together. Okay. One full season, so it's
[1:52:13] Speaker 1: not enough.
[1:52:14] Speaker 2: Okay. He still was still number one option, so he's capable.
[1:52:20] Speaker 3: Right. Right?
[1:52:20] Speaker 6: But in the scenario we're talking with Denver, Melo came in.
[1:52:24] Speaker 6: and averaged more. Boogie came in, averaged less. So AD
[1:52:28] Speaker 6: was still the number one option.
[1:52:29] Speaker 2: No, Chuck came in and averaged more.
[1:52:31] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Chuck came in, averaged more, but AD...
[1:52:33] Speaker 1: They both averaged the same in the fourth quarter.
[1:52:37] Speaker 2: And that's everything.
[1:52:39] Speaker 1: So it's... The coach can't dictate.
[1:52:43] Speaker 2: You got to take it.
[1:52:44] Speaker 1: You got to take it. He can't make you the
[1:52:45] Speaker 1: number one. You make yourself the number one option.
[1:52:47] Speaker 3: We run in the play. Kobe made himself the number
[1:52:49] Speaker 3: one option. If we run the play. Every five minutes.
[1:52:50] Speaker 6: No, no, no.
[1:52:51] Speaker 1: You don't want to use that.
[1:52:52] Speaker 3: No, the play is. You don't want to use that.
[1:52:54] Speaker 3: The play is for Kobe at the end. No, Kobe
[1:52:55] Speaker 3: made himself the number one option the last five minutes.
[1:52:57] Speaker 1: We all know who's going to get the ball. No,
[1:53:00] Speaker 1: we didn't.
[1:53:00] Speaker 3: He didn't have to go steal the ball.
[1:53:04] Speaker 5: Why do we know?
[1:53:06] Speaker 2: What did he do during his years there for all
[1:53:10] Speaker 2: of us to know who wanted.
[1:53:13] Speaker 5: The ball, who's going to get the ball, and there's
[1:53:15] Speaker 5: a three-time MVP on his team, finals MVP. That means
[1:53:19] Speaker 5: there was something Kobe Bryant was doing on the court
[1:53:23] Speaker 5: to let you know motherfuckers swing the.
[1:53:26] Speaker 3: You hear me? Hey! Hey, bring that ball.
[1:53:29] Speaker 6: Didn't we hear LeBron say, swing, swing, motherfucker? Swing, swing,
[1:53:33] Speaker 6: I'm the number one.
[1:53:34] Speaker 3: Swing, swing, I'm the number one.
[1:53:37] Speaker 2: Get off it. I know one person who ain't say swing, swing.
[1:53:40] Speaker 3: That's Andy Davis. Because he shouldn't have to. So once again,
[1:53:43] Speaker 3: we come back to the fourth quarter.
[1:53:43] Speaker 1: Why? Because it should be my team.
[1:53:45] Speaker 6: Because without you, I wouldn't have to say swing, swing.
[1:53:48] Speaker 6: You would show that shit to me every time. So
[1:53:50] Speaker 6: now we go back to the fourth quarter.
[1:53:51] Speaker 3: Ain't nobody out here. That is privilege.
[1:53:52] Speaker 1: That is privilege basketball.
[1:53:53] Speaker 2: Now we go back to the fourth quarter.
[1:53:54] Speaker 1: So we're talking once again.
[1:53:54] Speaker 2: So we said Kobe took over, right?
[1:53:57] Speaker 3: Uh-huh, yeah.
[1:53:57] Speaker 1: He demanded it. With Shaq on the team still, right?
[1:54:03] Speaker 2: Kobe becomes that in the fourth quarter because they're in
[1:54:05] Speaker 2: the penalty. First three quarters, fourth quarter early because Shaq is.
[1:54:11] Speaker 2: Now you got to play this motherfucker one-on-one. Can't dub him,
[1:54:14] Speaker 2: can't foul him, now he's doing it. So it all...
[1:54:19] Speaker 2: Taking over and being you, yes. But when you got
[1:54:22] Speaker 2: a guy that's still averaging the same amount of points,
[1:54:24] Speaker 2: same things he's doing... It comes down to those clutch moments,
[1:54:28] Speaker 2: come down to fourth quarter, them.
[1:54:32] Speaker 3: Right?
[1:54:32] Speaker 2: Them game winning, championship winning moments, fourth quarter, playoff moments.
[1:54:38] Speaker 2: Guys still who they are, man. Just because a guy
[1:54:40] Speaker 2: shows up in those moments don't diminish that he's still
[1:54:44] Speaker 2: the dominant fucking force. All them dudes we talking about
[1:54:47] Speaker 2: that was averaging 1A, 1B, 1, 2, whatever you want
[1:54:52] Speaker 2: to classify, they still.
[1:54:53] Speaker 3: I feel like Kobe showed that he wanted to be
[1:54:56] Speaker 3: the number one option, even when he was airballing.
[1:54:57] Speaker 6: Them threes at 18. Let's use Kyrie as a reference.
[1:55:01] Speaker 6: Kyrie in Cleveland. Number one option. That's my shit. Then
[1:55:05] Speaker 6: somebody else come over here. Now it's their shit. And
[1:55:08] Speaker 6: then I'm like, yo, I don't want to be here
[1:55:09] Speaker 6: no more. I want my own shit. I'm not number two, bro.
[1:55:13] Speaker 1: But he wasn't left. And he left. He wasn't left.
[1:55:16] Speaker 1: Who was the number one? Who was the number one
[1:55:17] Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter?
[1:55:18] Speaker 3: I was about to say, Kyrie Irving was the number
[1:55:20] Speaker 3: one option in the fourth quarter.
[1:55:21] Speaker 6: He left to go be number one. Look, we're talking
[1:55:24] Speaker 6: about old shit. AD doesn't play for the Lakers anymore.
[1:55:26] Speaker 6: Luka Doncic does. Let's talk about this real quick. So
[1:55:28] Speaker 6: Luka's been out since Christmas while recovering from a calf strain.
[1:55:31] Speaker 6: With reports he will begin playing five-on-five starting today with
[1:55:34] Speaker 6: the potential of making his debut with the new squad
[1:55:36] Speaker 6: this weekend when the Lakers take on the Pacers at
[1:55:38] Speaker 6: home Saturday. In related news, ESPN has flexed and added
[1:55:42] Speaker 6: that game in favor of airing Suns-Jazz on Friday. So
[1:55:46] Speaker 6: ESPN will be airing that Lakers-Pacers game this Saturday.
[1:55:49] Speaker 3: Lakers-Pacers?
[1:55:50] Speaker 1: Yeah, that should give you some indication.
[1:55:52] Speaker 3: That should be an easy one.
[1:55:53] Speaker 1: That Luka may be making his Lakers debut in that game.
[1:55:56] Speaker 1: So Clippers head coach Ty Lue was asked, what's his
[1:55:59] Speaker 1: response to the people saying that Luka and LeBron, also
[1:56:02] Speaker 1: known as the Luka-Bronchik, can't play together because they're both
[1:56:05] Speaker 1: ball-dominant and had this to say.
[1:56:08] Speaker 2: Isn't that right?
[1:56:09] Speaker 12: You know, when you have, You know, LeBron James has
[1:56:14] Speaker 12: been the best player in the league for the last
[1:56:16] Speaker 12: 15 years.
[1:56:17] Speaker 1: You know, you have Luka, who's a.
[1:56:18] Speaker 12: Top three, top five player in the league.
[1:56:22] Speaker 2: They'll figure out how.
[1:56:22] Speaker 1: To make him work.
[1:56:23] Speaker 2: And LeBron can play with anybody.
[1:56:25] Speaker 12: You know, the way he plays, he's smart enough to understand, like,
[1:56:28] Speaker 12: how to play with certain guys, how to play off
[1:56:31] Speaker 12: of guys, and where to pick.
[1:56:32] Speaker 1: And choose his spots.
[1:56:33] Speaker 2: And so, you know, I don't.
[1:56:36] Speaker 1: See it going to be a problem at all.
[1:56:38] Speaker 12: Of course, I know JJ can do a good job
[1:56:39] Speaker 12: of stacking those guys so they each have their own unit.
[1:56:41] Speaker 1: Kind of like we did with Kyrie and Bron in
[1:56:43] Speaker 1: the fourth quarters. They had closed games together. But they'll
[1:56:46] Speaker 1: figure it out.
[1:56:47] Speaker 2: It's a tough problem.
[1:56:48] Speaker 12: It's not a tough problem to have, I'll tell you that.
[1:56:52] Speaker 2: So they'll make it work. Steve.
[1:56:58] Speaker 1: So. Not a bad problem to have. LeBron has said
[1:57:02] Speaker 1: the past few seasons he wanted to give the keys
[1:57:04] Speaker 1: to AD despite AD's reluctance to take him. These are
[1:57:06] Speaker 1: comments he's made.
[1:57:07] Speaker 3: Reluctant.
[1:57:08] Speaker 1: That seemed to shift this season with AD being more
[1:57:10] Speaker 1: comfortable as the number one option. No issue with Luka
[1:57:13] Speaker 1: taking the keys, obviously. He's been the number one option
[1:57:15] Speaker 1: to step foot in the league as a teenager. But
[1:57:18] Speaker 1: how can the Lakers maximize both Luka and LeBron's talents
[1:57:21] Speaker 1: moving forward?
[1:57:23] Speaker 2: How can the Lakers?
[1:57:26] Speaker 3: I mean, for a guy that's 25 years old that's
[1:57:29] Speaker 3: accomplished a lot, this is like a big move for
[1:57:31] Speaker 3: him right now in his career. I think learning the
[1:57:33] Speaker 3: game more, being able to learn how to be a
[1:57:35] Speaker 3: professional is I'm going to take care of his weight.
[1:57:38] Speaker 3: I mean, it's a lot of benefit from this. You
[1:57:42] Speaker 3: get a young superstar at 25 that has so much
[1:57:44] Speaker 3: left over, and that's.
[1:57:47] Speaker 6: Going to be very dominant. Boy, he pick up that part.
[1:57:54] Speaker 6: You pick up that regimen, oh my. I'm just saying,
[1:57:59] Speaker 6: if he does. Yeah, he got a reason to now.
[1:58:04] Speaker 2: Yeah, you ain't got to spend a million, spend 500.
[1:58:07] Speaker 2: Spend 500 a year on your body.
[1:58:09] Speaker 1: Young fella.
[1:58:11] Speaker 5: And as basketball players, if they got the same goal,
[1:58:16] Speaker 5: if they have the same goal, Luka's showing that, you know,
[1:58:20] Speaker 5: he's going to win a championship first.
[1:58:22] Speaker 2: LeBron, I want my fifth championship. Then it's going to work.
[1:58:28] Speaker 5: I mean, I just don't like when people assume something's
[1:58:32] Speaker 5: not going to work because how they play with that team, right?
[1:58:37] Speaker 5: You don't know how they're going to play when they
[1:58:39] Speaker 5: get together, right? They got to see what each other
[1:58:41] Speaker 5: brings to the table. And it's like having a whole
[1:58:44] Speaker 5: bunch of weapons. You got the rocket launcher? Okay, I'm
[1:58:46] Speaker 5: going to leave mine here. I'm going to have the
[1:58:48] Speaker 5: pistol and the sniper. It's a team, right? You take
[1:58:53] Speaker 5: off what you need and you add on what the
[1:58:54] Speaker 5: other person don't have. And that's what happens, right? And that's,
[1:58:58] Speaker 5: you know, same thing with the Olympics, right?
[1:58:59] Speaker 1: 2008, right?
[1:59:04] Speaker 5: How many people was ball-dominant on their team? Put it together,
[1:59:07] Speaker 5: y'all going to figure that shit out. Wingo, that's the
[1:59:11] Speaker 5: game of basketball.
[1:59:12] Speaker 3: Kyrie was ball-dominant.
[1:59:14] Speaker 2: Luka was ball-dominant. They went to the championship.
[1:59:19] Speaker 5: The fact that they don't think people are smart enough
[1:59:23] Speaker 5: to adjust their game is weird. And he's around the
[1:59:28] Speaker 5: best guys.
[1:59:29] Speaker 2: We watch LeBron and Kyrie. One of them is going
[1:59:32] Speaker 2: to have a major advantage every night.
[1:59:34] Speaker 1: He can't double. Can't double him.
[1:59:38] Speaker 2: We've seen him double LeBron in the post.
[1:59:40] Speaker 1: You can't do that.
[1:59:41] Speaker 2: Luka's on the court.
[1:59:42] Speaker 1: We see how they try to double Luka. God, LeBron's
[1:59:44] Speaker 1: on the court. Because he's going to make the right play.
[1:59:47] Speaker 2: They're both going to make the right play.
[1:59:48] Speaker 3: They woke up a demon. And he around the right dudes.
[1:59:51] Speaker 3: He around Mike.
[1:59:52] Speaker 1: He around.
[1:59:54] Speaker 3: LeBron, I mean, every step is greatness that he's around.
[1:59:57] Speaker 3: He's preparing them.
[1:59:58] Speaker 2: Yeah, but like I said, it's on.
[2:00:00] Speaker 3: It's preparing them for greatness.
[2:00:01] Speaker 1: We're going to see, but it's.
[2:00:02] Speaker 2: Going to take some time, I think. 2026. No, they're not.
[2:00:04] Speaker 1: They're going to figure this out this season.
[2:00:09] Speaker 2: I'm going to get the trophy now.
[2:00:09] Speaker 3: Right now?
[2:00:11] Speaker 2: They're going to play well together.
[2:00:15] Speaker 1: I'll send you the memo.
[2:00:15] Speaker 2: All right. All right.
[2:00:18] Speaker 1: All right.
[2:00:19] Speaker 3: You feel me?
[2:00:20] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:00:22] Speaker 2: The good thing is, like, LeBron is more efficient in
[2:00:27] Speaker 2: his approach now. Shooting 50% from the field, it's that
[2:00:31] Speaker 2: and the third, so that helps. You don't have to
[2:00:35] Speaker 2: be a volume shooter to get it done. You only
[2:00:37] Speaker 2: got to take a lot of shots now. Gets the
[2:00:40] Speaker 2: team in the penalty. Make his goddamn free throws. Both
[2:00:45] Speaker 2: of them.
[2:00:47] Speaker 3: Takes a lot of load off LeBron every night. He
[2:00:53] Speaker 3: should not be doing this.
[2:00:54] Speaker 2: It definitely diminishes his workload. It helps. It definitely helps.
[2:00:59] Speaker 2: For a 40-year-old not to have to carry that every night?
[2:01:01] Speaker 2: Because we've been.
[2:01:04] Speaker 3: Saying it.
[2:01:05] Speaker 1: It's just... You know what?
[2:01:07] Speaker 5: It's... It's how Anthony Davis played that kind of made
[2:01:12] Speaker 5: it hard for the team itself. Because he's a jump shooter,
[2:01:16] Speaker 5: he don't He don't demand getting fouled. It makes it
[2:01:21] Speaker 5: harder for, you know, LeBron and other players.
[2:01:24] Speaker 1: To get to the free throw line because now they
[2:01:26] Speaker 1: got to take the hit, right? And, you know, it's
[2:01:28] Speaker 1: easy if somebody knows how to generate fouls. So now
[2:01:31] Speaker 1: these little ticky-tacks, I can walk full court and get
[2:01:33] Speaker 1: me a little free throws. But the fact that, you know,
[2:01:36] Speaker 1: you got the 40-year-old who's sitting there getting.
[2:01:38] Speaker 3: Five fouls a period, ah!
[2:01:41] Speaker 2: That's supposed to be your job, young. You know what
[2:01:42] Speaker 2: I mean?
[2:01:43] Speaker 1: You're supposed to get these 5,000 periods so I can,
[2:01:45] Speaker 1: you know, eat these free throws up.
[2:01:48] Speaker 5: And that's all it is. You know, it's just Andy
[2:01:50] Speaker 5: Davis is not a guy who gets free throws and
[2:01:54] Speaker 5: helps out.
[2:01:55] Speaker 1: I mean, it's a skill.
[2:01:56] Speaker 3: I just don't think he's that guy that's... I just
[2:01:59] Speaker 3: don't think he was that guy to be with Bron that's, like,
[2:02:01] Speaker 3: that's that next level. Like Kyrie.
[2:02:04] Speaker 1: Like, Brunson makes it easy for a cat to get
[2:02:06] Speaker 1: free throws.
[2:02:07] Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to put him in the post.
[2:02:09] Speaker 3: Luka?
[2:02:10] Speaker 2: LeBron. LeBron, yeah.
[2:02:12] Speaker 3: Defenses don't matter, huh? Huh?
[2:02:14] Speaker 1: Did it matter last year? It went to the championship.
[2:02:17] Speaker 2: You're talking to a defensive guy here.
[2:02:19] Speaker 3: Think it first.
[2:02:19] Speaker 1: Do it matter?
[2:02:20] Speaker 2: I think it first.
[2:02:21] Speaker 1: You think it first?
[2:02:22] Speaker 2: I think defense first.
[2:02:23] Speaker 1: Are you thinking it right now with the Lakers?
[2:02:24] Speaker 3: I think it first.
[2:02:25] Speaker 1: It don't matter.
[2:02:25] Speaker 3: Are we thinking it right now with the Lakers?
[2:02:27] Speaker 2: I'm thinking about how they're going to affect this side
[2:02:29] Speaker 2: of the ball. What side of the ball? The ones
[2:02:31] Speaker 2: you got to stop?
[2:02:32] Speaker 1: I just asked about defense.
[2:02:33] Speaker 2: Our defenses are off.
[2:02:34] Speaker 1: You just said defense first.
[2:02:36] Speaker 2: I'm not thinking about it now.
[2:02:39] Speaker 3: Defensively, yes, they have trouble right now.
[2:02:41] Speaker 1: But I think you... I mean, shit, they got Dallas
[2:02:43] Speaker 1: to the finals. I thought we was talking basketball. And
[2:02:45] Speaker 1: they hit them. I thought we was talking basketball. We are.
[2:02:48] Speaker 3: We are talking basketball.
[2:02:48] Speaker 1: How are we not talking about defense?
[2:02:50] Speaker 2: What do we want to talk about? We still have
[2:02:51] Speaker 2: to play it, yes. Luka don't play defense.
[2:02:54] Speaker 3: They still got to the finals.
[2:02:55] Speaker 2: And he got to the finals.
[2:02:56] Speaker 1: Did Kyrie play defense?
[2:02:57] Speaker 3: Who else don't play defense?
[2:02:58] Speaker 1: Did Kyrie play defense?
[2:02:59] Speaker 7: Who else don't play defense? I got a whole team
[2:03:01] Speaker 7: of guys who don't play defense. Luka, did Luka, Kyrie,
[2:03:04] Speaker 7: he made it to the finals? I'm just trying to
[2:03:05] Speaker 7: figure out. He said LeBron don't play defense. Okay, LeBron
[2:03:08] Speaker 7: and Luka? Okay, Kyrie and Luka. If you look at
[2:03:11] Speaker 7: the situation last year... You got Anthony Davis, bro. We
[2:03:14] Speaker 7: gave up.
[2:03:15] Speaker 6: You guys are, like, celebrating giving up an all-defensive guy.
[2:03:19] Speaker 2: The situation they was in last year with the Dallas Mavericks,
[2:03:21] Speaker 2: they made it to the finals. Derrick Jones Jr. was
[2:03:23] Speaker 2: the only one that was really known as a defender.
[2:03:26] Speaker 3: Okay.
[2:03:27] Speaker 2: And they made it to the finals. So we got
[2:03:28] Speaker 2: rid of a two-way player, right?
[2:03:30] Speaker 1: So.
[2:03:31] Speaker 2: And I'm pretty.
[2:03:31] Speaker 5: Sure we didn't win multiple championships with that same.
[2:03:34] Speaker 2: Two-way player, right?
[2:03:36] Speaker 6: Um.
[2:03:38] Speaker 1: Can you do this?
[2:03:39] Speaker 3: Did y'all win one championship with this guy?
[2:03:41] Speaker 1: Do that, right? There's a guy that does that, and
[2:03:45] Speaker 1: he's a one-sided player. He was burping a two-way player, right?
[2:03:51] Speaker 1: The guy who plays both sides of the court, a
[2:03:53] Speaker 1: one-way player who can't move, who can't play no.
[2:03:57] Speaker 2: Defense, was making him do what?
[2:03:59] Speaker 3: Burping.
[2:03:59] Speaker 1: Burping him, right?
[2:04:00] Speaker 5: So we could pretend the defense is really like that,
[2:04:04] Speaker 5: but we watch Jokic destroy said defense.
[2:04:09] Speaker 1: That same defense. And it's not like.
[2:04:12] Speaker 3: I'm with you. It's not like Anthony Davis was out
[2:04:14] Speaker 3: there scoring 50.
[2:04:15] Speaker 7: It was like a week ago, Anthony Davis was.
[2:04:17] Speaker 1: And now he's like, he don't play defense.
[2:04:20] Speaker 2: Who don't play defense?
[2:04:21] Speaker 1: He does. He can't guard that guy. Is it not
[2:04:24] Speaker 1: important for the Lakers, though? Is he available?
[2:04:26] Speaker 2: You can't guard that guy.
[2:04:28] Speaker 1: You can't guard that guy. Y'all talking like defense don't matter.
[2:04:31] Speaker 2: No, it does when it counts.
[2:04:32] Speaker 1: But it don't matter when you got two guys that's
[2:04:35] Speaker 1: really good.
[2:04:36] Speaker 5: I was trying to figure out what my fourth quarter
[2:04:38] Speaker 5: points was my second year in the league with Antoine
[2:04:41] Speaker 5: when I was like the fourth option.
[2:04:43] Speaker 2: Antoine was 5.3. Points per game.
[2:04:45] Speaker 1: You were 4.9. And I was 4.9. Tuan led the team,
[2:04:49] Speaker 1: scoring that year 22 points per game. You were second
[2:04:52] Speaker 1: on the team, scoring 18.3 points per game. Hey, y'all
[2:04:54] Speaker 1: didn't get this, bitch, man.
[2:04:55] Speaker 3: Get it off the glass. Lakers ain't done, though, bro.
[2:04:59] Speaker 3: Get it off the glass, man. The Lakers ain't done.
[2:05:00] Speaker 3: I mean, the Lakers, I mean, they gonna get defenders.
[2:05:03] Speaker 3: And the, say that again? That was the number one option.
[2:05:07] Speaker 1: He was a max player. Number one option in 2002-03.
[2:05:09] Speaker 1: You were both with the Warriors. Both played 82 games
[2:05:12] Speaker 1: that season. Anton Jamison averaged 5.3 points per game. He
[2:05:16] Speaker 1: was 19th in the NBA fourth quarter scoring. you averaged
[2:05:18] Speaker 1: 4.9 points per game in the fourth quarter. You were
[2:05:20] Speaker 1: 30th in the NBA. And I was the fourth player
[2:05:23] Speaker 1: on the team starting.
[2:05:23] Speaker 2: Off that season. And I'm averaging that.
[2:05:27] Speaker 1: One year went by.
[2:05:29] Speaker 2: Who was option two?
[2:05:32] Speaker 1: The next season? What?
[2:05:34] Speaker 5: He went to Dallas, became a sixth man. That's all
[2:05:35] Speaker 5: I seen. Oh, you coming off the bench now? That's
[2:05:39] Speaker 5: my team, boss man. As long as you got that memo.
[2:05:42] Speaker 1: So quick before we move on. Kenyon, you can cover
[2:05:45] Speaker 1: your ears if you'd like. But we ain't kids no more.
[2:05:48] Speaker 1: So with the Lakers up big in the fourth quarter,
[2:05:49] Speaker 1: it was Bronny time. And the rookie had the road
[2:05:52] Speaker 1: crowd buzzing after knocking down his first career three-pointer. Let's
[2:05:55] Speaker 1: take a look. You said road crowd? The road crowd.
[2:06:00] Speaker 1: I can't say the name of the arena anymore. Don't
[2:06:02] Speaker 1: go on, Nick. The Clippers Arena.
[2:06:04] Speaker 3: First made three.
[2:06:06] Speaker 1: First made three.
[2:06:07] Speaker 3: LeBron and Luka watching.
[2:06:10] Speaker 1: Uh-oh. Look at those teammates. Sharing a moment together. They
[2:06:18] Speaker 1: got two defenders right there, a black and brown.
[2:06:20] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. Vando.
[2:06:21] Speaker 1: Vando.
[2:06:23] Speaker 2: That's what's up.
[2:06:23] Speaker 1: Bronny leading the league in field goal percentage and three-point
[2:06:25] Speaker 1: percentage during Black History Month.
[2:06:27] Speaker 2: Just pointing that out. Minimum two attempts.
[2:06:30] Speaker 1: Gil, good to see Bronny getting more comfortable out there
[2:06:32] Speaker 1: on the court, in all sincerity.
[2:06:35] Speaker 5: To be honest, man, like, some of us been there.
[2:06:39] Speaker 5: But just seeing that ball go through the hoop, man.
[2:06:42] Speaker 2: That just takes it.
[2:06:43] Speaker 5: That just takes that monkey off your back.
[2:06:45] Speaker 1: Oof.
[2:06:46] Speaker 5: You know, because if we look.
[2:06:48] Speaker 1: At his shots, it's not like he was taking difficult shots.
[2:06:53] Speaker 1: He's been taking wide open shots, just the pressure of
[2:06:55] Speaker 1: making it.
[2:06:56] Speaker 5: So the fact that it's winning, he's seen it go in,
[2:06:59] Speaker 5: he should start making, you know, 30, 30-something percent moving forward.
[2:07:04] Speaker 2: Even that shot. You know, man, that ball like a
[2:07:06] Speaker 2: center block. Yeah, because he missed it two free throws
[2:07:08] Speaker 2: before that. That ball is like a fucking boulder him
[2:07:12] Speaker 2: trying to shoot that bitch up there. So much pressure
[2:07:14] Speaker 2: on every shot for that kid, man. So, it went in, proud,
[2:07:20] Speaker 2: what's next? Hold on, what's next?
[2:07:22] Speaker 1: Hold on.
[2:07:26] Speaker 5: Nope. Nope.
[2:07:27] Speaker 3: Nope. Damn.
[2:07:28] Speaker 2: Ooh, it's fucking up in the back.
[2:07:30] Speaker 1: Yeah, ice cream machine. Delivered.
[2:07:31] Speaker 3: You know what? It's McDonald's after champion.
[2:07:35] Speaker 5: I got a couple things that I think will help
[2:07:39] Speaker 5: him understand how to be ready.
[2:07:44] Speaker 1: Like... after the six minute mark, they up 15 to 20.
[2:07:49] Speaker 2: Start stretching. Right, you get your heat pack, start stretching.
[2:07:55] Speaker 1: So when you get out there, you're not wasting no
[2:07:58] Speaker 1: time trying to get warm.
[2:08:01] Speaker 5: Right?
[2:08:01] Speaker 1: Like, I'm watching him, and I'm watching him try to, um... Like,
[2:08:05] Speaker 1: he's just sitting there regular like a motherfucker. Yeah, because
[2:08:07] Speaker 1: they don't ever think he's going in. Yeah, like, no,
[2:08:09] Speaker 1: I see the score. Yeah, but you.
[2:08:10] Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
[2:08:11] Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there like, I'm sitting there like, yo, stretch, dog.
[2:08:14] Speaker 1: Because you're going in within the next two minutes. Stretch,
[2:08:16] Speaker 1: so when you get out there, you're gone.
[2:08:18] Speaker 5: But you're just sitting there just waiting, and then when
[2:08:21] Speaker 5: they put you in those first minute and a half, you.
[2:08:23] Speaker 6: Ain't... He was supposed to have at least eight minutes
[2:08:25] Speaker 6: to play. They played him, boy, they up 25, and
[2:08:28] Speaker 6: Bron's still in the game. Trying to fuck up my pick'em,
[2:08:31] Speaker 6: and I don't understand what the fuck be going on
[2:08:34] Speaker 6: when I watch the game.
[2:08:35] Speaker 3: I'm like, why?
[2:08:36] Speaker 6: They cleared their bench. Why y'all still in the game?
[2:08:38] Speaker 6: Trying to fuck up the pick'em. Like, I got my
[2:08:40] Speaker 6: shit set. It's like, look, I put you in, bro,

[2:08:46] Speaker 2: post it?
[2:08:47] Speaker 5: No.
[2:08:47] Speaker 2: Because motherfuckers be looking, man.
[2:08:49] Speaker 1: That's why I just take the higher end, right? Because
[2:08:53] Speaker 1: I start taking the lower end of the motherfuckers.
[2:08:56] Speaker 5: Oh, you think I'm soft like this?
[2:09:00] Speaker 1: Oh, man.
[2:09:00] Speaker 6: He should have played at least eight, seven minutes to
[2:09:03] Speaker 6: get warmed up.
[2:09:05] Speaker 1: Because it's the game out of hand at this point.
[2:09:07] Speaker 1: And Bronny and Dalton Connect cannot share the floor together anymore. No.
[2:09:10] Speaker 1: Dalton already think as soon as they get out, it's me.
[2:09:14] Speaker 1: It's me.
[2:09:15] Speaker 2: The whole game. Switching them out.
[2:09:18] Speaker 3: Man, Bronny, you better not look at me.
[2:09:21] Speaker 6: Bronny, you better not look at me. I'm not passing
[2:09:23] Speaker 6: to you at all. Let's keep this thing moving. We
[2:09:25] Speaker 6: got one more thing to discuss.
[2:09:28] Speaker 1: Or not.
[2:09:30] Speaker 2: The big names that's been traded.
[2:09:35] Speaker 3: Luca.
[2:09:36] Speaker 1: Okay.
[2:09:36] Speaker 2: What's the second name?
[2:09:38] Speaker 3: AD?
[2:09:40] Speaker 6: Chris.
[2:09:41] Speaker 1: He's going to be the main guy there.
[2:09:43] Speaker 2: He's going to get paid, right?
[2:09:45] Speaker 1: He's going to get another big contract.
[2:09:49] Speaker 2: Fox, right?
[2:09:51] Speaker 1: I mean, what I'm saying is it's just Wimby, so
[2:09:54] Speaker 1: he really.
[2:09:55] Speaker 5: Gets to just do him a little bit right now.
[2:09:58] Speaker 5: He's going to get a big contract. Zach Levine's going
[2:10:01] Speaker 5: over there.
[2:10:01] Speaker 1: Yeah. We fly high. No lie.
[2:10:17] Speaker 3: Ball in.
[2:10:19] Speaker 1: Ball in.
[2:10:20] Speaker 5: Some of these moves, man, you look at them like, well,
[2:10:22] Speaker 5: some of these are some money moves.
[2:10:25] Speaker 1: Putting people in position to get paid big money. Yeah,
[2:10:28] Speaker 1: but some of them are janky, taking bread away. Like, look,
[2:10:31] Speaker 1: I'm not getting that Supermax now. He'll get the bread back, Bob. Yeah,
[2:10:34] Speaker 1: he going to get that back. That $ 116 million.
[2:10:36] Speaker 3: Because Luka is going.
[2:10:36] Speaker 1: To be doing this.
[2:10:37] Speaker 3: It hurt him.
[2:10:38] Speaker 1: Help AD. But Luka is going to be doing this.
[2:10:43] Speaker 3: Somebody is going to.
[2:10:44] Speaker 1: Be doing this.
[2:10:46] Speaker 5: When it comes to money, if we think about the
[2:10:49] Speaker 5: money part, Luka gets hurt.
[2:10:52] Speaker 2: AD enhances.
[2:10:55] Speaker 3: That's why I say I'm looking at the Lakers like,
[2:10:58] Speaker 3: This is what you're giving up a lot.
[2:11:00] Speaker 1: But AD already under contract through 27.
[2:11:04] Speaker 3: He ready. He's coming in. That's what we need, though.
[2:11:08] Speaker 3: But you didn't go draft that. That landed in your
[2:11:10] Speaker 3: lap after a dump off.
[2:11:11] Speaker 1: Thank you.
[2:11:12] Speaker 3: After a dump off. Bro, that was a dump off.
[2:11:15] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[2:11:16] Speaker 1: I'm too drunk.
[2:11:17] Speaker 3: Drop her off. I'm too drunk.
[2:11:19] Speaker 1: We can't deal with that. We don't want that.
[2:11:22] Speaker 3: Uber, go home. We don't want nothing.
[2:11:25] Speaker 1: To do with this.
[2:11:25] Speaker 2: She's still bad when she wake up.
[2:11:26] Speaker 1: I'm about to say. No, no, no.
[2:11:28] Speaker 3: For sure.
[2:11:29] Speaker 1: She's still bad.
[2:11:30] Speaker 6: It hurt my feelings to put her in the Uber.
[2:11:33] Speaker 3: She wake up in her own bed.
[2:11:35] Speaker 1: She's still bad as a mother.
[2:11:36] Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I don't want.
[2:11:37] Speaker 1: I can't.
[2:11:38] Speaker 6: You looking at you like, yo, I can't believe I'm
[2:11:40] Speaker 6: about to let this go.
[2:11:42] Speaker 3: Ain't no way. And when she wake up, you're going
[2:11:44] Speaker 3: to be.
[2:11:44] Speaker 1: I cannot. I can't.
[2:11:45] Speaker 3: I got to.
[2:11:46] Speaker 2: I don't want to deal with that.
[2:11:47] Speaker 1: Hey, man.
[2:11:48] Speaker 3: Hey, Texas.
[2:11:48] Speaker 2: I can't do it.
[2:11:49] Speaker 3: I can't do it.
[2:11:50] Speaker 2: Texas, y'all need to relax.
[2:11:52] Speaker 3: I don't know why y'all mad.

[2:12:05] Speaker 2: With them three separate cities. Y'all gonna be on fire.
[2:12:07] Speaker 2: Texas is on fire. It's cracking.
[2:12:09] Speaker 3: Thank you for somebody that's from there.
[2:12:16] Speaker 1: They are far apart. They basically are other states. Trust me.
[2:12:19] Speaker 2: Like, you got one team as a team. San Antonio
[2:12:20] Speaker 2: is San Antonio.
[2:12:21] Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying you got one as a team.
[2:12:22] Speaker 1: Houston is Houston. You got... And Dallas.
[2:12:24] Speaker 5: But I'm just saying Texas as a whole.
[2:12:26] Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a competition.
[2:12:27] Speaker 2: Go ask the San Antonio Spurs fan what they wish
[2:12:30] Speaker 2: about the Dallas Mavericks.
[2:12:31] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[2:12:32] Speaker 2: Hope y'all lose every fucking game. Hope y'all go.
[2:12:34] Speaker 3: 0-82, goddammit.
[2:12:35] Speaker 2: I'm just talking about.
[2:12:36] Speaker 1: What's the same on this side? But if all three good.
[2:12:38] Speaker 3: No, it's popping. It's popping.
[2:12:40] Speaker 1: It's popping, popping. But.
[2:12:42] Speaker 3: It's cracking.
[2:12:42] Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. Y'all got some young shit over
[2:12:46] Speaker 1: there in motherfucking San Antonio that could be.
[2:12:48] Speaker 3: I got the alien over there.
[2:12:50] Speaker 1: You got Houston, that group of wits. And then you
[2:12:52] Speaker 1: got the best over down here.
[2:12:54] Speaker 3: That's a triangle, man. I'm going over here.
[2:12:56] Speaker 1: In retrospect, yeah, but it's impressive. You know what kind
[2:12:58] Speaker 1: of work I'm going to have?
[2:12:58] Speaker 3: A triangle work.
[2:12:59] Speaker 1: Let's talk about... We're on a triangle. Scali! Let's talk
[2:13:02] Speaker 1: about one more piece of this.
[2:13:04] Speaker 3: Scali, run it!
[2:13:05] Speaker 1: Run it!
[2:13:06] Speaker 2: Like, think about.
[2:13:07] Speaker 5: Let's say everybody stays.
[2:13:09] Speaker 1: Put this summer, right? Starting next season? All three could
[2:13:14] Speaker 1: be top five. Absolutely.
[2:13:16] Speaker 3: That playoff series is going to be off the chain.
[2:13:18] Speaker 3: About to create some rivalry.
[2:13:19] Speaker 1: And OKC right across. So let's talk about one other
[2:13:23] Speaker 1: piece of news. I know you don't like report at least,
[2:13:25] Speaker 1: but this one was big enough that we have to discuss.
[2:13:28] Speaker 1: So some rumblings amongst NBA circles that the Suns could
[2:13:31] Speaker 1: be looking to make a move with Kevin Durant before
[2:13:33] Speaker 1: the deadline. KD has one year remaining on his deal
[2:13:35] Speaker 1: after this season. Reports are the Suns are entertaining trade offers.
[2:13:41] Speaker 1: So with the Warriors being a potential destination to reunite
[2:13:43] Speaker 1: KD with Steph, while Jimmy Butler's trying to get to
[2:13:46] Speaker 1: the Suns, Bradley Bill's no trade clause has been a
[2:13:49] Speaker 1: major roadblock in getting a deal done. Now there's speculation
[2:13:52] Speaker 1: that KD and Butler can be involved in a multi-team
[2:13:54] Speaker 1: blockbuster trade to make it happen. But, with a capital T,
[2:14:00] Speaker 1: Shams is reporting, as Golden State pursues Phoenix Kevin Durant,
[2:14:03] Speaker 1: the two-time Warriors Finals MVP has no desire in a
[2:14:07] Speaker 1: reunion and does not want to go back.
[2:14:14] Speaker 3: I mean, that's fine. If they want to pull the trigger,
[2:14:15] Speaker 3: they're going to pull it.
[2:14:16] Speaker 1: But why do you think Hady doesn't want to go
[2:14:17] Speaker 1: back to Golden State?
[2:14:20] Speaker 2: Should I ask him?
[2:14:21] Speaker 1: That's a great question. He's the only one who got
[2:14:25] Speaker 1: the answer to that.
[2:14:26] Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't leave on a good note, did he?
[2:14:30] Speaker 1: He talked about it. He didn't get punched. Damn near.
[2:14:37] Speaker 1: Damn near.
[2:14:37] Speaker 3: Damn near. Metaphorically. Damn near.
[2:14:41] Speaker 1: He almost caught one.
[2:14:43] Speaker 6: He almost caught one. His shoulder started moving. His shoulder
[2:14:47] Speaker 6: started warming up.
[2:14:48] Speaker 1: What you say, nigga?
[2:14:50] Speaker 3: Looked like it was going to be that Clipper game.
[2:14:52] Speaker 1: Looked like it was going to get two.
[2:14:53] Speaker 3: We don't need you. What you mean?
[2:14:57] Speaker 1: Actually, I think, listen, I'll just be honest, man.
[2:15:03] Speaker 5: I just think Kevin Durant Needs to just go down
[2:15:06] Speaker 5: to the Lakers.
[2:15:08] Speaker 3: Right?
[2:15:09] Speaker 1: Make it easy.
[2:15:10] Speaker 3: Make it easy.
[2:15:10] Speaker 2: Like, why?
[2:15:11] Speaker 3: Make it easy.
[2:15:12] Speaker 1: Like, my point, my thing is this. You've been making
[2:15:15] Speaker 1: it easy this whole time. My thing is this.
[2:15:16] Speaker 3: We got Rui Hachimor, Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood.
[2:15:18] Speaker 1: Look at this dude. I mean, we got one more person. Hey,
[2:15:22] Speaker 1: Segway J and Package J.
[2:15:24] Speaker 3: One more person. Package J ready over here, dog.
[2:15:26] Speaker 1: He got three or four of them.
[2:15:27] Speaker 3: Package J ready. Pac-Man, Pac-Man.
[2:15:30] Speaker 1: Love all you gentlemen. Call of Duty.
[2:15:32] Speaker 3: Thank you for your.
[2:15:32] Speaker 1: Thank you for your contributions, but this is Kevin Wayne
[2:15:35] Speaker 1: Durant we are talking about.
[2:15:36] Speaker 5: I'm just saying, at the end of the day, they
[2:15:38] Speaker 5: gonna talk about you anyway, so you might as well
[2:15:39] Speaker 5: just do this. Get the championships and just tell everybody,
[2:15:43] Speaker 5: fuck you.
[2:15:43] Speaker 1: Fulfill the prophecy.

[2:15:50] Speaker 3: Just give it to us. That we never got.
[2:15:51] Speaker 1: Like, yeah, just give it to us, man. Just make
[2:15:54] Speaker 1: that collab, man.
[2:15:56] Speaker 3: Come on, just do it.
[2:15:58] Speaker 1: Ah, it does make sense since you can't beat me. Yeah!
[2:16:02] Speaker 3: Join me.
[2:16:02] Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
[2:16:04] Speaker 6: Whatever you say, come on.
[2:16:07] Speaker 3: We got Prince and Michael and Quincy Jones.
[2:16:10] Speaker 5: And just to fuck with everybody to say who's number
[2:16:12] Speaker 5: one and number two, when the MVP come, we both
[2:16:14] Speaker 5: hold it.
[2:16:15] Speaker 3: Together. Michael Prince and Quincy Jones.
[2:16:19] Speaker 1: UNITY. We do need some more unity.
[2:16:23] Speaker 5: And listen, if you're feeling friendly, just go ahead and
[2:16:25] Speaker 5: have Steph come on down there.
[2:16:28] Speaker 1: We need somebody to mentor Austin Lee.
[2:16:29] Speaker 3: He's trying to look like the Moe Lakers.
[2:16:31] Speaker 1: The Olympic shit.
[2:16:33] Speaker 3: I mean, might as well.
[2:16:36] Speaker 1: Entertainment. I mean, y'all the best three in this area.
[2:16:38] Speaker 1: They said there was viewership issues. That's what they were saying.
[2:16:42] Speaker 1: I know I'm watching.
[2:16:43] Speaker 3: It would be crazy.
[2:16:44] Speaker 2: I mean, the viewership would just be one team.
[2:16:46] Speaker 6: It's just a competition. Only team you need. It's not
[2:16:49] Speaker 6: a viewership. It's a competition thing.
[2:16:52] Speaker 1: Well, hey.
[2:16:53] Speaker 3: If the viewers wanted bullshit... they'd turn it off. But
[2:16:56] Speaker 3: if they want to see some competition, everybody going to
[2:16:59] Speaker 3: tune in. Shit.
[2:17:00] Speaker 1: Competing? Are y'all not on the same team no more? Well,
[2:17:05] Speaker 1: it might be good tonight. But let's keep it moving.
[2:17:09] Speaker 1: So trade deadline less than 24 hours away. Most shocking
[2:17:13] Speaker 1: trade in recent memory already going down. Like I said,
[2:17:16] Speaker 1: there's moves going on all around the league. Warriors have
[2:17:19] Speaker 1: been looking to make a move reportedly at 25 and 24,
[2:17:21] Speaker 1: currently 10th in the West. So Shams reported on Monday
[2:17:26] Speaker 1: that the Dubs are calling on every single All-Star player.
[2:17:30] Speaker 1: His specific names was Paul George, LeBron. KD was in
[2:17:34] Speaker 1: that mix, even though KD just said no. Jimmy Butler
[2:17:36] Speaker 1: also in that mix.
[2:17:37] Speaker 3: They said that out loud, too.
[2:17:41] Speaker 1: That's nasty.
[2:17:41] Speaker 3: The light's coming on.
[2:17:42] Speaker 1: We need to go out with something. They letting the fans.
[2:17:45] Speaker 2: I need fans help right here.
[2:17:48] Speaker 3: This is like an umbrella.
[2:17:49] Speaker 1: Hey, hey, we.
[2:17:50] Speaker 3: Hey, hey. We hit everybody, y'all.
[2:17:54] Speaker 1: That's great. They did it to themselves.
[2:17:57] Speaker 3: They need me.
[2:17:58] Speaker 1: This is what they need.
[2:17:59] Speaker 6: I thought you said we didn't like Jimmy Buck.
[2:18:01] Speaker 3: He's available. You ain't into the bullshit. They did it
[2:18:04] Speaker 3: to themselves, though.
[2:18:05] Speaker 1: Well, that's 24 hours away from this trade deadline. Was
[2:18:07] Speaker 1: that James Jones over there still?
[2:18:09] Speaker 2: Who's it?
[2:18:10] Speaker 3: Phoenix?
[2:18:12] Speaker 1: About his time.
[2:18:12] Speaker 3: It's about their time. That's a broad TV, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, no, no.
[2:18:19] Speaker 3: He's made multiple mistakes. There's some other people about time
[2:18:22] Speaker 3: for them to go.
[2:18:22] Speaker 1: Give us KD. We'll have GM by committee. You bring Nico.
[2:18:26] Speaker 3: Nico James. There's going to be a bunch of GMs.
[2:18:28] Speaker 3: Doing some other shit in life.
[2:18:30] Speaker 2: It's going to be that last hour.
[2:18:31] Speaker 1: It's going to be that last hour. Motherfuckers just sitting there.
[2:18:34] Speaker 5: People trying to figure out what's going to happen. And
[2:18:36] Speaker 5: they're going to do some things that they ain't supposed
[2:18:38] Speaker 5: to do.
[2:18:39] Speaker 1: Mike Dunley.
[2:18:39] Speaker 3: They're going to panic. Mike Dunley. Hey, I'm looking at
[2:18:42] Speaker 3: Mike like, bro.
[2:18:44] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a reason Bob Myers did.
[2:18:48] Speaker 3: There's a reason Bob Myers joined us. Hey, there's a
[2:18:49] Speaker 3: lot of people over here just being quiet. Yeah, a
[2:18:52] Speaker 3: lot of quiet shit. It's a lot of quiet shit.
[2:18:54] Speaker 3: You can move around, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If
[2:18:56] Speaker 3: they can move, Darvin Hamilton... Yeah.
[2:18:58] Speaker 1: So Jimmy Butler was one of those names, but another
[2:19:01] Speaker 1: report from Brian Windhorst Monday said that Jimmy Butler communicated
[2:19:04] Speaker 1: to the Warriors that he won't sign an extension.
[2:19:06] Speaker 2: Go ahead, man. I'm just saying, well, why does it matter? Like,
[2:19:13] Speaker 2: I'm really confused on why does it matter if he's
[2:19:17] Speaker 2: going to sign an extension or not? Where has Jimmy
[2:19:20] Speaker 2: Butler proven to be loyal to? Like, let's be honest.
[2:19:24] Speaker 1: Like, where?
[2:19:26] Speaker 3: Where has he proven to.
[2:19:27] Speaker 2: Be loyal to at every stop?
[2:19:28] Speaker 1: He's forced his.
[2:19:29] Speaker 3: Fucking way out. Absolutely.
[2:19:30] Speaker 2: So who gives a fuck if he's going to sign
[2:19:33] Speaker 2: an extension or not?
[2:19:35] Speaker 3: Well, if you're a team making a trade... You're losing
[2:19:36] Speaker 3: an asset. I'm not losing an asset.
[2:19:38] Speaker 1: I'm gaining money. You're gaining money.
[2:19:40] Speaker 2: I'm gaining money. Fuck, he's going to wrap that up.
[2:19:43] Speaker 2: These motherfuckers are stupid.
[2:19:45] Speaker 1: I'm going to just be honest with you.
[2:19:47] Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
[2:19:48] Speaker 1: It takes a real different.
[2:19:50] Speaker 2: You don't sell a farm for Jimmy.
[2:19:52] Speaker 3: No.
[2:19:53] Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. You don't sell a farm for
[2:19:55] Speaker 2: Jimmy Buck because.
[2:19:55] Speaker 1: He's not loyal. That's why they're not getting off him.
[2:19:57] Speaker 2: Because nobody want to give him the garden.
[2:19:59] Speaker 1: They don't want to give him the garden.
[2:20:00] Speaker 3: Fuck the farm. We ain't even going to give you
[2:20:02] Speaker 3: a piece of lettuce. Fuck that. But think about it.
[2:20:06] Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. But let's go.
[2:20:09] Speaker 1: I make a trade for him, right? I make a trade.
[2:20:12] Speaker 2: He say, I ain't going to sign.
[2:20:13] Speaker 1: Okay, cool. You get here, right?
[2:20:15] Speaker 2: Are you going to opt in?
[2:20:17] Speaker 1: Right. Or are you going to leave that $ 57 million?
[2:20:19] Speaker 5: So good.
[2:20:21] Speaker 3: And when you opt in, we deal you. Listen, I
[2:20:26] Speaker 3: can make you an offer.
[2:20:27] Speaker 1: Well, I don't have to. I don't have to.
[2:20:29] Speaker 3: I don't have to make you an offer.
[2:20:30] Speaker 2: But I know when you're done, I.
[2:20:32] Speaker 6: Got $ 53.
[2:20:33] Speaker 1: Million where I can move.
[2:20:36] Speaker 2: I can get to.
[2:20:37] Speaker 5: I don't need $ 53 million in asset bet. I got
[2:20:40] Speaker 5: hard cash that I can sit here and open for anybody.
[2:20:44] Speaker 2: Because I'm not going to sell a farm for them.
[2:20:45] Speaker 2: I'm going to give you some pigs, some stuff.
[2:20:47] Speaker 1: So if you're the Warriors, you just do the deal.
[2:20:49] Speaker 2: I do the deal.
[2:20:49] Speaker 3: You do the deal right now. That's what I'm saying.
[2:20:51] Speaker 1: You do it regardless. You do the deal. Who cares?
[2:20:53] Speaker 1: That's facts.
[2:20:54] Speaker 2: That's facts.
[2:20:55] Speaker 3: Just think about it.
[2:20:55] Speaker 1: So why would Bernie Lee not, well... Because they're so
[2:20:58] Speaker 1: scared of, oh, I traded this asset and I ain't
[2:21:01] Speaker 1: getting nothing back.
[2:21:01] Speaker 2: At the end of the day, he has to go
[2:21:03] Speaker 2: to free agency, right?
[2:21:03] Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
[2:21:04] Speaker 2: And I'm going to be sitting there just like this.
[2:21:06] Speaker 1: What you going to do now?
[2:21:06] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
[2:21:08] Speaker 1: What you going to do now? Two for 20? Yeah.
[2:21:09] Speaker 2: I got two for 25 over here.
[2:21:11] Speaker 3: Oxygen.
[2:21:12] Speaker 5: Oxygen.
[2:21:12] Speaker 1: Two for 30? Two for 35 over here.
[2:21:14] Speaker 2: Oh!
[2:21:14] Speaker 1: The fuck?
[2:21:15] Speaker 5: Yes.
[2:21:15] Speaker 1: Shit. You don't, like, you're not going to. They go
[2:21:17] Speaker 1: to 40, I ain't take it.
[2:21:19] Speaker 5: 40, 40.
[2:21:19] Speaker 3: I got six, 42, 43. I got 50 over here.
[2:21:34] Speaker 1: 50, 50, 50, 50.
[2:21:35] Speaker 6: All right, we got total 42.
[2:21:38] Speaker 5: You need to still play your value.
[2:21:41] Speaker 1: Absolutely. You still got to play basketball.
[2:21:43] Speaker 2: Get anything past this 53, you got to play basketball, dog.
[2:21:45] Speaker 3: You talking about the opt-in?
[2:21:47] Speaker 1: No, when you opt-in, for me to get any more money,
[2:21:50] Speaker 1: for you.
[2:21:50] Speaker 5: To get some more money, you got to go with anybody.
[2:21:53] Speaker 1: Oh, you're saying from anybody. From anybody. You got to play.
[2:21:56] Speaker 3: Yes, you got to fucking go out there. Is he
[2:21:58] Speaker 3: able to do that?
[2:21:59] Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. Being disgruntled in the place
[2:22:01] Speaker 1: you want to be. But that's what I'm saying.
[2:22:03] Speaker 5: I have the leverage because I'm either going to have
[2:22:06] Speaker 5: so much money to give to all free agents or.
[2:22:10] Speaker 2: I get you at a discount.
[2:22:11] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:22:12] Speaker 2: Because you don't have to.
[2:22:13] Speaker 3: I can lowball you. Because you don't, you're not going to.
[2:22:15] Speaker 2: This is literally what Jimmy did. Jimmy didn't walk, voluntarily
[2:22:18] Speaker 2: walked over and put his nuts in the vice grip.
[2:22:20] Speaker 3: Damn.
[2:22:21] Speaker 6: Voluntarily. Voluntarily walked over and put his nuts in the
[2:22:24] Speaker 6: vice grip.
[2:22:25] Speaker 3: Can't get them out. Can't get them out.
[2:22:26] Speaker 1: And they motherfucking turned at me slow.
[2:22:29] Speaker 3: Like the way teams do players, do you blame them
[2:22:30] Speaker 3: for not being loyal?
[2:22:32] Speaker 2: No, but it ain't being loyal.
[2:22:33] Speaker 1: It's not knowing.
[2:22:33] Speaker 3: What you mean?
[2:22:34] Speaker 1: Not knowing.
[2:22:35] Speaker 3: 100%.
[2:22:35] Speaker 1: What you mean, though, how they do play? What you mean?
[2:22:38] Speaker 3: They're not loyal to you. So why would I be
[2:22:39] Speaker 3: loyal to them?
[2:22:40] Speaker 2: But you got to be.
[2:22:40] Speaker 1: Loyal to yourself first. But he ain't been nowhere that
[2:22:43] Speaker 1: was like, okay.
[2:22:44] Speaker 3: My game speaks.
[2:22:45] Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is he wasn't loyal to himself first.
[2:22:49] Speaker 1: You have to be able to look around and see
[2:22:52] Speaker 1: what's going on. Right?
[2:22:54] Speaker 3: Okay.
[2:22:55] Speaker 2: I didn't sign it.
[2:22:56] Speaker 1: We not at ours. I know they trying some shit
[2:22:58] Speaker 1: over here. I got to move different.
[2:23:01] Speaker 2: I got to play this game real quick.
[2:23:02] Speaker 1: So it can make sense for me.
[2:23:03] Speaker 3: Yes. Okay. I'm doing shit that's.
[2:23:06] Speaker 6: Making it not make sense for me because I'm forcing
[2:23:07] Speaker 6: them to do shit they don't.
[2:23:08] Speaker 1: Want to do.
[2:23:09] Speaker 2: I wanted to get out of Denver.
[2:23:10] Speaker 5: Yep.
[2:23:11] Speaker 2: I didn't change my behavior to get out of Denver.
[2:23:13] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you.
[2:23:16] Speaker 2: Guess what my ass was? Stuck playing for that motherfucker
[2:23:19] Speaker 2: that I didn't like. But they knew that because I
[2:23:22] Speaker 2: was going to show up and do my job, right?
[2:23:24] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
[2:23:24] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:23:24] Speaker 2: Same thing with Jimmy. They didn't suspend me. They could
[2:23:27] Speaker 2: have easily suspended me just like they did Jimmy, right?
[2:23:29] Speaker 1: Right, right.
[2:23:30] Speaker 6: No.
[2:23:31] Speaker 3: They know how I am, right?
[2:23:33] Speaker 1: Jimmy going to show up in hoop.
[2:23:35] Speaker 2: It ain't in him to get taken advantage of out there.
[2:23:38] Speaker 1: It's going to kick in.
[2:23:39] Speaker 2: Like, fuck that nigga. You ain't finna keep busting my ass.
[2:23:41] Speaker 3: You're looking crazy because it's still me. For sure.
[2:23:45] Speaker 2: He was in that situation where you got to move different.
[2:23:49] Speaker 2: But he didn't.
[2:23:49] Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't at all.
[2:23:51] Speaker 2: So now he voluntarily walked over and put his nuts
[2:23:55] Speaker 2: in that vice.
[2:23:56] Speaker 3: Grip, dog.
[2:23:57] Speaker 1: Didn't think they were going to clamp on him. Yeah. Clack, clack. Right? Yeah.
[2:24:00] Speaker 2: Because you've been dangling them motherfuckers over, people fucking.
[2:24:03] Speaker 3: With you, right?
[2:24:03] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah!
[2:24:05] Speaker 3: Ah! I mean, I mean, right in this situation, because
[2:24:17] Speaker 3: he's I mean, you can't blame your agent. You can't
[2:24:18] Speaker 3: blame all this on you.
[2:24:20] Speaker 2: You stepped over too far of that line. Like you
[2:24:23] Speaker 2: had all the.
[2:24:24] Speaker 1: Leverage, too much dip on his chip, had all the leverage.
[2:24:27] Speaker 1: And then what ends up happening.
[2:24:29] Speaker 5: Is the worst thing you could do for yourself is
[2:24:31] Speaker 5: get yourself suspended indefinitely.
[2:24:34] Speaker 2: Because now it's about your actions.
[2:24:35] Speaker 1: You gotta talk to me.
[2:24:37] Speaker 2: And guess what?
[2:24:38] Speaker 1: I think I'm busy. I'm busy. Tyler Hero here. What's
[2:24:43] Speaker 1: that boy?
[2:24:43] Speaker 3: I ain't gotta talk.
[2:24:45] Speaker 1: To you no more.
[2:24:46] Speaker 2: I don't gotta answer your phone call. I don't clock
[2:24:49] Speaker 2: tea time. I don't gotta.
[2:24:50] Speaker 1: Do none of that. Because now you're on my time.
[2:24:54] Speaker 1: And now I'm on bullshit.
[2:24:56] Speaker 3: Check, slow.
[2:24:56] Speaker 5: Now I'm changing the color of my head. Now I'm
[2:24:59] Speaker 5: wearing different motherfucking color shoes now.
[2:25:01] Speaker 1: What am I depositing? So what happens now, I mean... Huh?
[2:25:03] Speaker 3: What am I depositing? Oh, yeah, no, no, no, that motherfucker,
[2:25:06] Speaker 3: that's slow.
[2:25:07] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's slow. You know that shit.
[2:25:08] Speaker 3: That shit is locked up.
[2:25:09] Speaker 1: It won't let him out. That motherfucker, he kind right now.
[2:25:13] Speaker 3: So is he in a position where he can be
[2:25:15] Speaker 3: sent home and, like, they can do him like Stephon Marbury? No,
[2:25:19] Speaker 3: that's what they're doing.
[2:25:20] Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
[2:25:22] Speaker 3: They are not buying him out.
[2:25:24] Speaker 1: Oh, no. Yeah, they gave him money.
[2:25:26] Speaker 3: They gave him money. He's going to be there.
[2:25:27] Speaker 2: Put it like this.
[2:25:28] Speaker 3: So will he play basketball again?
[2:25:29] Speaker 1: What I'm saying is... Not there.
[2:25:32] Speaker 5: Before he got suspended, they owed him this year's money
[2:25:37] Speaker 5: plus next year's, right?
[2:25:38] Speaker 1: Okay, okay. Right, so let's say that's $ 70 million.
[2:25:41] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
[2:25:41] Speaker 1: Right?
[2:25:42] Speaker 3: I owe him $ 70 million.
[2:25:44] Speaker 1: He got suspended indefinitely. Mm-hmm. This $ 20 million comes back
[2:25:50] Speaker 1: to me.
[2:25:52] Speaker 5: If you opt into next year, I owe you $ 50.
[2:25:55] Speaker 3: Cool.
[2:25:56] Speaker 1: That's like paying your $ 30. Yep. That's like paying your $ 30.
[2:25:59] Speaker 1: I don't need to get rid of your nap, motherfucker.
[2:26:02] Speaker 2: You're cheaper for me.
[2:26:03] Speaker 1: Because you just saved me $ 20 million by getting suspended.
[2:26:07] Speaker 2: And guess what?
[2:26:09] Speaker 3: It was funny at first.
[2:26:10] Speaker 1: And guess what they're going to do?
[2:26:12] Speaker 2: Come September, October... Yeah, you ain't got to show up
[2:26:16] Speaker 2: training camp, son.
[2:26:18] Speaker 1: You good?
[2:26:18] Speaker 3: You good?
[2:26:19] Speaker 1: You in shape, motherfucker.
[2:26:21] Speaker 2: You ain't got to show up.
[2:26:25] Speaker 3: You ain't got to show up. You know what?
[2:26:27] Speaker 2: Just stay home. Yeah, just stay home. You ain't even
[2:26:29] Speaker 2: got to show up.
[2:26:30] Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just saying, if you're a team, do you,
[2:26:31] Speaker 3: I mean, shit, do you, Take him? I mean, can
[2:26:33] Speaker 3: you trust him now?
[2:26:34] Speaker 1: Because at this point... Because I don't even know if
[2:26:36] Speaker 1: he going.
[2:26:36] Speaker 3: Because at this point... It's this now.
[2:26:38] Speaker 1: He's a detriment to what you're trying to do at
[2:26:40] Speaker 1: this point. It's principle.
[2:26:40] Speaker 6: And he let you know I only play 75% of
[2:26:44] Speaker 6: the fucking time during the season. 75% of the season
[2:26:48] Speaker 6: I play.
[2:26:49] Speaker 1: Damn. I let that be known.
[2:26:51] Speaker 3: He's a good player, too.
[2:26:52] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my thing. It's all principle.
[2:26:54] Speaker 1: Golden State won't trade for him because he won't sign
[2:26:56] Speaker 1: the extension.
[2:26:56] Speaker 2: Who cares?
[2:26:57] Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what Golden State doing. I don't
[2:26:59] Speaker 1: give a fuck about him signing. Not at all.
[2:27:01] Speaker 2: Because he out there with some dogs, and they ain't
[2:27:02] Speaker 2: going to let him. You think Draymond going to let
[2:27:04] Speaker 2: Jimmy go through the fucking motions if he's in Golden State?
[2:27:06] Speaker 2: If he's in Golden State, do you think Draymond Green
[2:27:08] Speaker 2: going to sit there and allow that motherfucker to not
[2:27:11] Speaker 2: play hard?
[2:27:12] Speaker 3: I don't even think Steve Kerr. Draymond going to have
[2:27:14] Speaker 3: something to.
[2:27:14] Speaker 2: Say to him and on that motherfucking Draymond Green show.
[2:27:18] Speaker 1: Question for you, Kenny. Is Draymond going to be there
[2:27:20] Speaker 1: to tell him that?

[2:29:15] Speaker 1: underdog user Ronaldo9. What's up, y'all?
[2:29:21] Speaker 6: Should the Lakers continue to start Austin Reeves or bring
[2:29:24] Speaker 6: him off the bench when Luka is back?
[2:29:26] Speaker 1: Let me know.
[2:29:27] Speaker 2: Huh?
[2:29:29] Speaker 1: Should the Lakers continue to start Austin Reeves or bring
[2:29:31] Speaker 1: him off the bench once Luka's back? Austin Reeves currently
[2:29:33] Speaker 1: the best third option in the Adams.
[2:29:35] Speaker 2: Who's the shooting guard?
[2:29:36] Speaker 1: Huh?
[2:29:38] Speaker 2: Who's the shooting guard?
[2:29:40] Speaker 1: Gabe? Is Gabe sorry? No.
[2:29:43] Speaker 2: Hell no. Where the fuck is this shit going now?
[2:29:45] Speaker 2: They don't need one. They don't have one. Man, you know, man,

[2:30:10] Speaker 5: watching it. I ain't trying to start no rookers over there.
[2:30:13] Speaker 5: But when Bronny's in, you make sure one motherfucker's not

[2:30:34] Speaker 5: game with him.
[2:30:36] Speaker 1: Sub his ass out.
