1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Thirty working on Monday.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 2: Adam Copling, he popped him, well with you, we do

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: it every week with our guy. Marcus Thompson of the

4
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Athletic best sports writer in the country joined us on

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 2: the Yuma guest line, and Marcus was the reference down

6
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: dude Ilium Mallin and taking down another world championship.

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Due what's going on, Marcus?

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: How are you? Was there ever a doubt? No way,

9
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 3: I knew once he had a haircut, it was on.

10
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: I was he'd have been or something.

11
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 4: He cut the hair. You know what I'm saying. New year,

12
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 4: knew me. That's what we're doing, Like, all right, get it.

13
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: I was like, you lost the Olympics this year, though,

14
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: I mean that was your new year, new contest, new tournament.

15
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 4: Knew me.

16
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: I mean it's like a new new Yeah, new opportunity,

17
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: new me. Actually this was the end of his figure

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 3: skating year, so this is how he closed this season.

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 3: I saw the hair the end of the season. Like

20
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: once I once I saw the haircut, I was like, oh,

21
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: we back up. He ready, you'll change your hair randomly,

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: Like that's that's a process. I wonder if he did

23
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: it himself and then had they go to like style

24
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: after Derek, you all know nothing about that.

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: I go to say that luxury, Marcus. I mean, Marcus.

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: That's the thing is if somebody does do it themselves,

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: and they do it like on a whim, like thet

28
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: they've got stuff going on, you.

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: Know what I mean? Yeah, if they come to work

30
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: and you're like, Yo, what happened? You did this last night?

31
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: Hey?

32
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: I just sitting at home. I decided to do it.

33
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: That's that's yeah. You gotta sit down.

34
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you ever see me grow my hair out,

35
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 5: you know something's up.

36
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 4: It's the opposite, right exactly.

37
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 5: So talk about the Warriors, Uh, you know, lost last

38
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 5: night to the dever Nuggets, and we'll see if stuff comes.

39
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Back by Friday.

40
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 5: And if stuff does return, he'll have five games left

41
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 5: the regular season. And I know Steph wants to play.

42
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 5: How much conversation do you believe there's going on right

43
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 5: now between Joe, Mike and Steve on actually asking if

44
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 5: Steph should come back or is that something they just

45
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 5: don't even bring up because they know Steph wants to play.

46
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: This is the thing they talk about all the time, right, Yeah,

47
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: it's because this becomes like one of those things that

48
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: every day like Celebrini's checking in, like he is doing

49
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: stuff with Celebrini, you know. So there is like kind

50
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: of daily progress and they've got to figure out like

51
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: when to pull the plug and win, to just let

52
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 3: Steph do his thing.

53
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: I mean, Stevens already said he won't.

54
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: He don't want to just pop him into a play

55
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 3: in at some point if they just say, you know what,

56
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: let's get this, let's get this first playing game and

57
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 3: take an l and you know, end up in the

58
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: lottery or whatever, that's where you put when they decide that,

59
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: like we don't care if we make it out of

60
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: the play in, pull the plug right, Like that's what

61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: you'll know if they're trying to get a playoff series,

62
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: if it's still like you know what, you never know,

63
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: get us in there, then then Steph will play. And

64
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: I think that's I think he's balancing that. I think

65
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: the words are balancing that. So that that's gonna be

66
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: the tricky part not to mention, like if the season

67
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: is done, don't the fans deserve a few Steph games

68
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: before they go out, Like, after all they've been through

69
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: this year, Yeah, you know, give them the greatest show,

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: Give them greatest show in basketball for a little bit.

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Is there a player out there?

72
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I know they're talking about this draft to

73
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: get a pretty good draft.

74
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: If the Warriors got blessed.

75
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: By the lottery gods, they could end up with the

76
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: foundational piece if in fact, they don't end up moving

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: that draft pick. Is there a player if they weren't

78
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: to land a big you know, a Lebron or a

79
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: Giannis or something. Is there a player you think could

80
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: be something that helps them in the immediate Are you

81
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: paying that much attention.

82
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: To that yet? Uh? Not really? But like aj Davanta

83
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 4: is really good, right, yeah?

84
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: Of course, somehow, somehow you get the top pick, Like

85
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: that's a that's a game changer.

86
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: This draft is pretty deep.

87
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: You know some of these guys, I don't know about Peterson, right,

88
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: you know, a Cuffs junior. Like it's like, okay, they

89
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: could be good, but how is the fit? I just know,

90
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: no matter what happens, they will need some young horses

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: to carry them next season. If they do somehow go

92
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: to next season with staff Jimmy Draymond Porzingis. I mean,

93
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: I mean that's like the NBA's version of the expendables, right,

94
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: you better have some youngsters ready, because none of it

95
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: matters unless you get If you don't get them to

96
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 3: April healthy, so that becomes about who's the supporting cast

97
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: and who can fill in. That's why Jeordan Poole was

98
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: so big, because if Steph wasn't there, George Poole's like, hey,

99
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: this is mosto. So they need they need players who

100
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: can do this thing and win some games and take

101
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: over if Jimmy, Like, while Jimmy's out, if Steph has

102
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: to this time, it's Porzingis has to this time. Otherwise

103
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: you pressing these guys to go get you a sixth seed,

104
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: and then they hit the playoffs exhausted. So they need

105
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: some young They need some young players.

106
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: I don't know if they'll.

107
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: Find one at whatever pick they're at, but they should

108
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: be able to get somebody pretty good judging by how

109
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: Will Richard looked this year, and he was much later

110
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: in the draft to.

111
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: That point, Marcus, I mean, Moses move.

112
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 5: Dudie's injury was devastating and I don't think we should

113
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 5: anticipate him coming back next season. So how does his

114
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 5: injury impact their offseason as far as the youth on

115
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 5: this team and not to mention he could have been

116
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: included in a trade package.

117
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: If you're trying to make a big MOVI this offseason.

118
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 4: He could have been.

119
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, perhaps it does take a little bit of a

120
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: chip off the table because like you heading to this offseason,

121
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: like presuming you don't do any kind of sign and

122
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: trade with odds, the cominga becomes your your next big piece, right,

123
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: the next player who you could like throw into something

124
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: or ask to something to add value, and that's off

125
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: the table. I do think what it does is it

126
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: creates like an urgency for wings, right, it gives them.

127
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: It gives them an opportunity to tell a wing. Here

128
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: are some minutes. Here are probably even some starters minutes

129
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: that you can have. And if you can't give people money,

130
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: like you can get them with minutes. So if in otherwise,

131
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: if Moody was here and he was kind of entrench,

132
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: maybe that's a harder fail to get a guy to

133
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: take a pay cut or to take less money so

134
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: he could come here.

135
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 4: But now it's just open.

136
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: There's a wide open of playing time. So I think

137
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 3: in that way it's probably the still over lining because

138
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: then when he comes back, becomes back, you have more wings,

139
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: but they had like they've got to get wings, and

140
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: they've got to get youth, and that's gonna be a priority.

141
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: They got plenty minutes and plenty shots available for anybody

142
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: he wants that.

143
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: I got Marcus Thompson nice enough to join us here

144
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: on the Yuma gess Line covers everything for the athletic.

145
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: We haven't talked to you about her much about Steve

146
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: Kerr in a while. There was that report about other

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: coaches potentially looking around and making sure they had something

148
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: lined up maybe for next year in the event that Steve.

149
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Was not back.

150
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: I know that these talks aren't going to happen against

151
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: will we get to the offseason. But what are your

152
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: thoughts on where he stands right now? I mean, he

153
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 2: seems like seemingly his attitude around this without Steph and

154
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: how some of these young guys have played lately. I

155
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: know that they've been scratching and Kwan and some of

156
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: the development and all that with guys like gist Contras,

157
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: I think it's been enjoyable for him. Just what are

158
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: your thoughts on where he's at right now?

159
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 3: You know, I think he's actually in a pretty good

160
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: place because, like.

161
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: Number one, the Kaminia drama.

162
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: Is over, and he's not looking too bad on that front, right,

163
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: Like watching aside from a couple of games coming ahead

164
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, like Steve Kerr is looking like, yeah, this

165
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: is this is what this is.

166
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: What I've been saying.

167
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: So I think like he's getting these players to fit

168
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: what he does. She's getting into type of players a

169
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: fitted system. Porzingis is another guy that fits the system.

170
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: Like I think Steve is like, hey, I'm gonna get

171
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: paid eventually and I get to see what I'm working with.

172
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: If if you come back next year with Porzingis and

173
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: Jimmy and Dramond, He's like, hey, all right, let's roll

174
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: in the end. He's gonna get a lot of money

175
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: and he's probably gonna end up guys who fit his

176
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: style to play. Like Steve doesn't lose, man, I'm just

177
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: telling you, Like in life, I can think like Steve

178
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: just wins. He comes out on top, even if he

179
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: doesn't go Like if he just says yeah, I'm out,

180
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: what's he What's he gonna do but go make a

181
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: bunch of money doing some enough like TV or whatever,

182
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: Like he just doesn't there's a no lose situation for him.

183
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: But in the end, I think Steph Curry still has

184
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: a big say in this because at some point if

185
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: they're if they're going for another push, there's no question

186
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 3: who Steph wants that with. And that's going to be

187
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: a decider where Steph is like, all right, coach, I

188
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: need you for this last one.

189
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: And that's the case. I think he tells stuff. Yes.

190
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 5: On the other side of that, comminga trade, it looked

191
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 5: initially like the Christaps Porzingis acquisition was a disaster and

192
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 5: now he's coming to his own and you know, helping

193
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: out the team, and it seems like Porzingis and the

194
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 5: Warriors want to continue this relationship next season. But as

195
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 5: far as guys that have made an impact this year,

196
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: I mean, the big additions to me were Al Horford

197
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 5: into Anthony Melton. At this point, would you say it's

198
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: more likely that Porzingis returns over those two guys.

199
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

200
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: Melton's gonna be tough just because of the money, Like

201
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: he played well enough to hit the market. They don't

202
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: have any of his rights, so I mean it could happen.

203
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: You know, maybe the market is a bit dry. He's

204
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: you know, he's got some injury history that's gonna curb

205
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: his costs. Like to me, he'll be a tough one

206
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: to keep, and the reality of the matter is him

207
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: and Podds kind of overlap, especially on a team with

208
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 3: Steph Curry. So you might you feel better about letting

209
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: Melton walk if you feel like Pods is getting better.

210
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: But Orford is gonna be a tricky one.

211
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: Just because, like you just like his fit and I

212
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: think he'll be there, but I don't know what kind

213
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: of minutes you can you can kind of promise him

214
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 3: in that sense if you got porzingis in the middle.

215
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: But also one is gonna be forty and the others

216
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: poor nearly hurt, So you like it's probably the best

217
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: of both worlds for them, where they're like, all right,

218
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: I got to I know I'm not gonna play eighty

219
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: two games. I know that I'll get some minutes, but

220
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: I won't be overloaded. So I do feel like there'll

221
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 3: be a home for those guys. Melton is the one

222
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: that I think will be tough. And of course a

223
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: lot of this stuff will end up where do they

224
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: where do they end up in the draft, and what

225
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: type of player they get. Somebody falls to them at

226
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: like ten or nine or whatever. That's gonna that's gonna

227
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: make a lot of these guys look less appealing if.

228
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: They get a real like baller in the draft.

229
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: And is it funny to you that like Draymond has

230
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: played as much as he has with that stuff kind

231
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: of anticipated. I was like, dude, I'm kind of proud

232
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: of this guy man for showing up and getting paid

233
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: and playing ball.

234
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: You know, nothing in a while here isn't nothing sometimes man,

235
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: with some guys that didn't work and really do anything.

236
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 4: You know what, what's it called the fear for teen?

237
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: They're about trying to make that all defensive team again

238
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: pay a certain number games. It reminds me of a

239
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: that's forty nineteen twenty season when he was out there.

240
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 3: I remember with a couple of locker of every game

241
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: We're like, man, what are you doing?

242
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: Like you needn't hurt?

243
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: Like what you these guys?

244
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 4: Something got to be wrong.

245
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 3: He's like, no, you know that was hit Like he

246
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: had to take the l and play no steth, no

247
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: play k you. So I do think there's there's also

248
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: like I think Porzingis is.

249
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 4: A big deal. I think if they're gonna.

250
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: Make a recruiting push to keep him. They gotta not

251
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: only win him over, but see how he fits.

252
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: I think that.

253
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: I think I know Steth wants to come back and

254
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: play with Porzingis. So I do think there's a part

255
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 3: of Draymond that's like, let me see how I look.

256
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: With what porsenis. Let's let let's start building for next year.

257
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: But no question if if if.

258
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 3: That all defensive team number team wasn't.

259
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 4: On the table, I think Draymond like that. I don't know.

260
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: My back hurt.

261
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, more more of a podcast, Yeah, right then games

262
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 5: play talking to Marcus Thompson on the UMA guest line.

263
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: So there's multiple reports at the war Your's.

264
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 5: Offseason plans consist of Lebron, James, Kawhi, Leonard or Giannis.

265
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: So at this point, who do you think is the

266
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 5: most likely to be a Warrior next season plans?

267
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pat Spencer Ye.

268
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: So the Kawhi thing is a bit confusing to me

269
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: because that would just require adding another exorbitant salary without

270
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: getting rid of one. So and perhaps it's less somehow

271
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: you could convince them to take Jimmy on some expiencep

272
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: but I don't know why. Steve Bomber would care about

273
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: saving money. I mean, according to Pablo Tori, he's spending

274
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: extra money under you know, under the table. So I

275
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: don't think he's saying, all right, let's let's see if

276
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 3: we can wait to get rid of the salary. Maybe

277
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: in the three team. I do know there's interest from

278
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 3: the Warriors and.

279
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: Adds somebody like Kawhi.

280
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: But to me, the more reasonable of the pipe dreams

281
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: of these three, like you know, three card moni type

282
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 3: games we play, is Lebron taking a minimum to come

283
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: play with steth Like, because that's the one where it's

284
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: like he wouldn't you wouldn't have to make any maneuvers.

285
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: You could just go sign them, take the minimum play.

286
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: But if you're looking at the Lakers and how they look,

287
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: why would he leave Luca right now?

288
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 4: Why would he leave the Sun? You know what I'm

289
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: saying like this is it feels.

290
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: All pipe dreaming to be man, if it feels like

291
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: you know, two fantasticals, Giannis would have felt like the

292
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: reals man.

293
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 4: Ain't going nowhere.

294
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, He's stating there right in Milwaukee, So it's

295
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: all it's all pipe dreams.

296
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 5: No, probably not, But do you think there's anything to

297
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 5: like that the league could step in with the whole

298
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 5: contract thing with aspiration and make it where he's off

299
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 5: the Clippers or a suspension or something there.

300
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: Come on, you know, hey, if they would have done it,

301
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 3: they would have done it right.

302
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: Maybe we need we we kind of need you in

303
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: a playoffs.

304
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: We need you in this play in Kawhi, Like, let's

305
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: go like after the season is over there, we're.

306
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 4: Gonna take away your money and suspend you, but we're

307
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: gonna suspend you for a period of times. You go

308
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 4: sign with the Warriors for cheap and play out the

309
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: rest of the year.

310
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know how any of this works, because

311
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 3: I feel like, if you go suspend them, would you

312
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: suspend him for a while? But then if you devoid

313
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: his contract, why would you suspend them at all? If

314
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: you already avoid his contract and cost him a bunch

315
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: of money.

316
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 4: And it's somehow that happens. I just don't think Kawhi.

317
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: There's nothing that we know about Kawhi that makes him say, oh,

318
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: y'all take the minimum play with the Warriors. He gonna

319
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: go where the next fifty million dollars is and helicopter

320
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: from San diego to wherever that is.

321
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: His next team is dude, Yeah, I cannot imagine, like

322
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: that's you see Silver do the same kind of stuff.

323
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: Like if if Bomber should have sagging his pants and

324
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: then we're a do rag him, maybe they maybe they

325
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: punish him, maybe he'd go full Dan Stern on him.

326
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: But David Stern, but I see it happening.

327
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: There's just no way, no, what has happened, Like this

328
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: stuff will bean?

329
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 4: What more do you need? But I have.

330
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: Silmer said it from the beginning, like I would need

331
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: to see a smoking gun. He's basically saying, I don't

332
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: want to punish. I don't want to do this, we

333
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: don't want to go this far, like it would have

334
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: to be completely obvious, and there's been a lot of

335
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: pretty strong evidence and still nothing. So it's gonna have

336
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: to be a videotape in four K, right, But then

337
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: you can just say it's a I this ain't happening.

338
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: I dud he didn't hand Kahi a bunch of money

339
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: in it in a bag of potato chips. Marcus Thompson,
