23
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 5: But Friday was our fault. Friday was our fault.

24
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: Well it was. It wasn't my fault, but well it

25
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: was my fault either something.

26
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: There's no fault. It just worked out perfectly for all

27
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 4: of us.

28
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: It just worked out. So, I mean, where's your focus now,

29
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: Marcus man?

30
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,200

Speaker 2: I saw, Oh, she's.

33
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: Got a custom Lucky Charms box with her on the front.

34
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: It's like due.

35
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: It was like first tenor first twenty five people who

36
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: did something got the box. I was like, dude, she's

37
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 3: got like seven million Twitter followers. Oh my god, she's

38
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: got insame number of followers. Marcus, what have you been

39
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: up to? What you been following her covering since the Olympics.

40
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 4: I mean, this is gonna really impress you. But I've

41
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: been doing absolutely nothing.

42
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: A boy, I like it.

43
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 5: You've earned that, though, Marcus.

44
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 4: I took myself a week now. I got a locky

45
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: in on these dubs. You know. Actually, actually I do

46
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: have some figure skating stuff because the World Championship is

47
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: about to happen. I'm not going to Prague, but I

48
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: will be watching how our boy Alia Malman does in

49
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: his first skate since melting on the ice.

50
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tough deal.

51
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 5: Well, let me ask you about dubs, Marcus.

52
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 6: So we got over the weekend the report from Sean

53
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 6: Sharani or actually Anthony Slater's saying that Steph's gonna go

54
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 6: back to practice, not gonna play tonight. The hope he

55
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 6: was gonna scrimmage this week, but I guess he wasn't

56
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 6: able to yesterday, so I think we were circling maybe

57
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 6: Wednesday for his return. But what seems like the most

58
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 6: likely outcome this week.

59
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be tough, Like they get back and

60
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: immediately they got a game, So it'll be hard for

61
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 4: him to play on Wednesday, even though I think that's

62
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: the day they were circling. Right, Yeah, if you're the

63
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: Warriors that you want steps back, you want to do

64
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: an in Chase Center, So Friday becomes the next like

65
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: viable day. But I do wonder, especially considering mistakes, do

66
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 4: they do the thing where they play them and give

67
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: them a short minutes rest. Right, it's a Washington team

68
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: that they should be able to beat. Hey man, get

69
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: in here, like, get your scrimmage in here in this game,

70
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: keep your minutes down off the bench, and have it more,

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: you know, like soft opening now, full opening later. It'scre

72
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: I don't know how many games they could just say

73
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 4: all right, we're not gonna play you. But I think

74
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: Wednesday is gonna be tough, considering he hasn't scrimmage yet.

75
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: Marcus Thompson here off the athletic joined us on the

76
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: uma gest line. Derek and I are going to get

77
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: into this later about how they you know, the offseason

78
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 3: is gonna.

79
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: Be a whole.

80
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Thing, like it was this passed off about trying to

81
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: get Yanis or what they land to help Staph and

82
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: what we view as maybe the final run next season

83
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 3: for this iteration of the Warriors. But are they more

84
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: likely you think to trade for Giannis or to maybe

85
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: try to go sign somebody like Lebron.

86
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: Would that be in the cards?

87
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: I mean, if Lebron is willing to sign for the minimum,

88
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: that's a little bit easier to say. I just say

89
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: neither in the cards?

90
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Right?

91
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah? How many of these pipe dreams are gonna be

92
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 4: viable at some point? I feel like Lebron is more

93
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: realistic if I'm thinking anything. But look look how they're

94
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: playing right now. They're rolling Lucas Gray, he's found a

95
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: good role. I just don't know that he says I'm

96
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: moving to the Bay Area number one and number two, Like, uh,

97
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give this up. I just don't know that

98
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: that's what Lebron would do now. Before when it wasn't

99
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: going so well and there was questions about like whose

100
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: team it was et cetera. But Lebron wanted a D

101
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: and he wanted like somebody he can turn the reins

102
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: over to. Like he's got that. Now he could pick

103
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: his spots. He comes to the Warriors gonna be like hey,

104
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: like hey, take the ball from Pods and please deliver,

105
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: right that, Like the role is gonna be. I just

106
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: feel like it's great in La right now. I just

107
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 4: don't see him not only coming to the Warriors but

108
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: doing it for the minimum, which they kind of that's

109
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: all they would have.

110
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: When you look at how this has gone the last

111
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: few years with the Warrior brash and trying to build

112
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: around stuff, do you think they've let him down? I mean,

113
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: I know the record would would say they haven't been

114
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: suc he was putting together would look like, you know,

115
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: a renaissance type season for his age. He's thirty eight

116
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: years old now. But like I look back, not just

117
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: this past offseason or even last year. I know they

118
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: went out and got Jimmy, but some of that it

119
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: feels out of desperation right Like part of it to

120
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: me is like were they was it a bad move

121
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: to give Draymond the contract? They gave him a four

122
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: year deal for one hundred, but you kind of had

123
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: to do it at that point, even though he was

124
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: maybe out the draw already to Memphis. How do you

125
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: view these last couple of years? Do you think they've

126
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: let Steph down?

127
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: Like, can we get a violin playing for Steph? I

128
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: got a mini one that's been rough. It's so sad

129
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 4: they didn't. I think that's a crazy narrative, right, Everything

130
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: they did they did for Steph of course, yeah, And

131
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: it's not like he's not in the decision making, right,

132
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 4: Like they won a championship in twenty twenty two and

133
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 4: they turned around and did the same formula again, like

134
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: they lost out of Port, they lost Beila, and he

135
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: went and got two more of its trying to run

136
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: the same thing back again. And remember Jermichael Green right right,

137
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: they're like they're doing it for Steph. Now, you could

138
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 4: argue have they been great at it? Like the results

139
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 4: will probably say no, But like, the reason they're in

140
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: this situation is because of Steph. The reason they're doing

141
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: it is because of step and he's involved in it.

142
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: So if they've let him down, then he's let him

143
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 4: do to I think the only thing Steph wants is

144
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: for to compete right at that level, like that's what

145
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 4: he wants. I don't like the COAMINGDA situation has been tough.

146
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 4: They've been like at a juxtap at like this kind

147
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: of crossroads for a long time. But the only reason

148
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: they have been just saying that forget all this, let's

149
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: cash it in and let's start over, is for Steph.

150
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: So the fact to say they let Steph down, they

151
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: would be doing it at Steph's wishes, right at his command,

152
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: Like they put themselves in position to try to compete,

153
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 4: to try to bolster the roster around Steph like and

154
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: it hasn't worked. The fact that it hasn't worked don't

155
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: mean he was let down. It means it didn't work right,

156
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: Like letting Steph down would be getting his verymond trade

157
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: of everything and putting them around a bunch of players

158
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: he can't win with that. That to me would be

159
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: you're letting Steph down. Like a lot of this is

160
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: because Steph and Draymond and them haven't gotten it done.

161
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: Like Clay right, they were It's game six in LA

162
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: like they were there second round. The playoffs could have

163
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: went to the finals, could have went to the West Finals.

164
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: If anybody has a game like that's them, right, that

165
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: wasn't somebody else like DoD Sadeven Jenzo was on that team, right,

166
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: Like they had some players. So I just think that's

167
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: a it's a unique thought to say they let him

168
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: down when we saw with what twenty twenty twenty was like,

169
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: put him on that scene with like Alec Burks and

170
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 4: Glenn Robinson the third and be like, let's start over

171
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: with these guys. Sky Bowman, right.

172
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 5: Just be like that, yeah man talking to Marcus Thompson

173
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: on the UMA guest line.

174
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 6: So we know that the organization is going to say, like,

175
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: once Steph returns, the goal is to go on to

176
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 6: run here.

177
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: But really I think it's more of an evaluation.

178
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 6: On the other players, you know, on the roster, and

179
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 6: well they'll be impact players going forward. And Brandon Pajemski

180
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 6: has gotten twenty games without Steph Curry. Steve Kirk talked

181
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 6: about it at length the other day, and there's rumors

182
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,119
Speaker 6: about what kind of contract he's looking for this offseason.

183
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 6: At this point, what do you think the organization health

184
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,479
Speaker 6: How does the organization view Brandon Pajemski going forward?

185
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: I don't think that's much different he's been a very

186
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: productive player in the role he's in. I think they

187
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: don't view him as a guy who's like, all right,

188
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 4: this show, this year's show right, And he's just had

189
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 4: a twenty games ample size. They've won four games, what

190
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: four or five games since the All Star breaks, like

191
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: this was the period where these young guys could have

192
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 4: shown what they have. So I think they like him.

193
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: He's a good player. He just he's a good He's

194
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: like a high level role player. I think that's how

195
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: they see him. And the question becomes how much do

196
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 4: you how much do you want to pay for that

197
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 4: type of a player. I think that number is high,

198
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: higher than a lot of people would want, Like if

199
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 4: Suscky Warriors says, right, who were kind of hot and

200
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: cold on Pajemski. But the high level role players get

201
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: paid in this league, So the question would be like

202
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: how much do they want to pay him? How much

203
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 4: do they want to dig in to put pods? But

204
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: to me, if he's in the space for their like him.

205
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: He's gonna play thirty minutes, he's gonna rebound, he's gonna

206
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: be off the floor, he's gonna fit multiple lineups, and

207
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: he's going to be smart about how he looked for

208
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 4: a shot. If he does that, I think they love

209
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 4: them and they'll keep them alone time. It also makes

210
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: them valuable though, so with no kaminga, he becomes the

211
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: chip you can trade like on the sign and trade

212
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: like he becomes that an even more valuable piece that way.

213
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: Marcus, we were talking to sam Mane Mick last week,

214
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: your colleague at the Athletic covers the NBA, of course,

215
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: and we were asking him about the potential expansion of

216
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: the NBA, of the league itself where the NFL is

217
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: going full global and the NBA is trying to do

218
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: that as well in the Africa League, and all the

219
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: talent that's come over internationally. We've seen the game grow internationally.

220
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: The Olympics obviously last summer were a blast with the

221
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: Team USA winning, but the talent has risen around the

222
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 3: globe when it comes to the NBA or comes to

223
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: the game of basketball. How do you view what the

224
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: expansion of a league by two teams would do to

225
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: the talent pool? Because I feel like we're more talented

226
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: than we've ever been, but that doesn't keep guys on

227
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: the court.

228
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I do think it helps this

229
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: concept of injuries, right does You're you're adding to the

230
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: talent pool, and you know it feels like stinding it

231
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: out with help, you know, I don't. I think they

232
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 4: should expand their rosters even more, like the game is

233
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: going to be decided at the end anyway, like save

234
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 4: your stars to the end. I do wonder like how

235
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: that's gonna help by sinning the talent pool by expanding it. Right, So,

236
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: but you're finding you're looking all of the down look

237
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 4: at Gie Santos, right, these guys, these guys are like

238
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 4: you could you can see this players out there who

239
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: can play and with more more roster spots, more opportunity. Yeah,

240
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: like the star, the star dilution will be there. But

241
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: the expansion of like role players and you know, into

242
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: the benches that contribute to me, that increases. You're giving

243
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: other guys like Pat Spencer's of the world more and

244
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: more opportunities, more minutes out there to go grab. I

245
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 4: think that helps in the long run. I'm most fleet,

246
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 4: just like yo, after what four years going to Cleveland

247
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 4: in years spent in Memphis and you know, hey, man,

248
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 4: give me Vegas and Seattle. I'll think about this from

249
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: my perspective, you've got more teams on the West. What

250
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 4: I missed the days of going to Key Arena, right,

251
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 4: Like going to the Seattle was lit, and you know

252
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: Vegas is always a good place to go, like get

253
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: Memphis out of the Western Conference, Like I don't want

254
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: to this is this is insane to me, So yeah,

255
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: I'm I like it. I'm curious of how this impacts,

256
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 4: you know, uh, the top level of the game, right like,

257
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: and how how these stars position themselves, Like we see

258
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: this two or three get together, right you see. You

259
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: know it's not like I don't want to say super teams,

260
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: It's not like that anymore. But you are seeing guys

261
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: kind of say, hey, I want to go play with

262
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 4: that guy. But now there's two more kingdoms opening up,

263
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: right and you know one of them, Kd's gonna be like, hey,

264
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 4: that was mine. I started there, Like that's my spot.

265
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: So now I wonder does it become more of a

266
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 4: a one you know, all right, instead of teaming up.

267
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: I'd rather be able to get my own kingdom here.

268
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: But that, to me, I wonder how it's gonna be

269
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: on top. But all this talk about shortening the seasons

270
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: and minutes and load management and injuries and all that

271
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: to me, getting more players into the mixed, more players

272
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: eat minutes, getting more of the gis antos in there,

273
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: encourages players, encourages teams to not ride their stars for

274
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 4: forty minutes and potentially wear them down.

275
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: You bring up a good point about like guys owning kingdoms,

276
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: because if we talk all the time about staff playing

277
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: in one place his whole career. We talk about with Kobe,

278
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: you talk about it with I mean, Katie's bounced around,

279
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: of course a bunch of so its Lebron, But you

280
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 3: talk about guys who have played all of their career

281
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: in one place. I think that's cool and unique, and

282
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: that's obviously something that's rare now, but something another element

283
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 3: of that that I wonder if this is something that

284
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: players think about in today's game, or if young guys

285
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: think about this when you when you talk about making

286
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: a kingdom your own or putting a team on the map,

287
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: like it's great to win with the Lakers and to

288
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: do something that all the all time grids state it's

289
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: great with the Celtics, and Jason Tatum joins the lore

290
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: of the Celtics, but Steph Curry is forever associated with

291
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: the Warriors, and he put the Warriors like on the map,

292
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: like okay See had big players, but they didn't win

293
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: a title and then shake Gilgas. Alexander has now made

294
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: Oka See a focal point of the NBA and a

295
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: marquee franchise because of what he's been able to do.

296
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: Do players care about that?

297
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: Do young guys think about that in terms of like, yeah,

298
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: I can go win or play with this guy? But

299
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: does it does does like carving out your piece in

300
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: a place that maybe didn't previously have it, does that

301
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: mean anything to young players?

302
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: Oh? No, question, like it matters. I mean that's why

303
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: s yeah right, like he go anywhere, but he okay,

304
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 4: he is right, that's that's his place now. And again,

305
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 4: like you said, like other players have been there, they

306
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: didn't bring a title and officially his number two, Jalen

307
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: Williams right, that's not really a threat to SGA's stardom,

308
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: Like that's his palace. I mean you could say the

309
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: same about jan in Milwaukee, even though Milwaukee had a

310
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: prime before, like it did have like big O and

311
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And Kareem, I don't know

312
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: if you want to count the big dog reality years,

313
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: but I'm counting him so but but but yeah, like

314
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: you know, I think Milwaukee Joanna feels like like this

315
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: is my spot and it's hard for him to leave it.

316
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: It's also you know, he's very particular about who he's

317
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: gonna play with clearly, so like, yeah, this is a

318
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: very ego driven business, and you do there are some

319
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: players who are like, hey, I do want this. I

320
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: do want to be able to say it's mine. And

321
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: it's not for nothing either. We are talking about like

322
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: the financial boom if IF IF a team is IF

323
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: a com He is coming to the Warriors and they

324
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: they wanted they want to do this level of business.

325
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: They want a player and you're going to get this

326
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: amount from it, like there's no question who's getting the first.

327
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: It reminds me of a story back in the day

328
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 4: when Baron was a Baron was the was the man

329
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: on the Warriors, and I remember like it was I

330
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: think it was CJ. Watson, Like he has some kind

331
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 4: of a very small level deal like all right, you're

332
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: gonna be at the subway. I remember what it was like,

333
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: go to the subway, do a signing and back then

334
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: I think you can get like five thousand dollars or something.

335
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 4: But whoever it was CJ. Watson, But whatever it was,

336
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: it was a big deal because he was like a

337
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: back when it was a D League call up right,

338
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: Like he was a D leaguer and Baron was like, hey,

339
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: what what you doing? Like He's like, oh, I'm doing

340
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: this thing. So Baron goes to the Warriors It's like, hey,

341
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: I don't know about this, and they were like, yeah,

342
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: that's nothing.

343
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: Was too small for you.

344
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, but let me turn it down first,

345
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 4: all the all the opportunities something with me. First it

346
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 4: was like oh yeah, all right, like let me that

347
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 4: you now, now scale that up to something bigger. So

348
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 4: if you it's not just ego, it's financial opportunity, right,

349
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 4: It's it's brand building, it's all that stuff. And now

350
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: with the almost like you know, the elimination kind of

351
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 4: of markets, where before you had to get to New

352
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 4: York or LA Now because you can create your own

353
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: universe anywhere like now that that's that's your chance to

354
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 4: do it. I think it's a it's an important deal,

355
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: especially for these young guys coming up. I mean, look,

356
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 4: aj Dabasa could just take He could just be Utah,

357
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: right yeah, get strapped into Utah like he played prep

358
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: school in Utah College Utah, like get drafted like that

359
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 4: could just be his and there's nothing to say he

360
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: won't just be fine taking all of Utah's money. Right

361
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: next thing, you know, you have a car dealership next to.

362
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: It, right.

363
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

364
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

365
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 6: A couple of minutes with Marcus Thompson on the Yuma

366
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 6: guest line. Okay, what'd you think of the Johnathan kaminga

367
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 6: revenge game? I know that some people were kind of

368
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 6: anticipating he would go off, but I mean, like, I

369
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 6: think he just has the same role he has on

370
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 6: the Hawks right now that he had with the Warriors,

371
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 6: and it was not gonna be that case.

372
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: Yes, or on Saturday it was the most.

373
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 4: Fitting joh, don't think you make a revenge game, right yeah?

374
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 4: I think like nothing happened, like yeah, it was almost

375
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 4: like a playoff game, like he what he had like

376
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: one mate, Yeah, made one shot. Then it was like

377
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 4: come on man, like that was that was a moment. Uh.

378
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: I do think people got a little too excited at

379
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: first when he you know, he's going out. It's not

380
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 4: like John's gimm that hasn't had your games. He has

381
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: plenty of them, but like the issues are still the same,

382
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 4: like fitting in. What does he do when they take

383
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 4: away his drive and they let him shoot right? What happens?

384
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: And they forced them to, you know, drive into traps

385
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 4: and he's got to see the floor pass up. Like

386
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 4: he's still got to solve those things. He just has

387
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 4: the ability where you think he'll do it. They got

388
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 4: a lot of wings in Atlanta, so if he doesn't

389
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 4: do it, they they have no problems sitting them. So

390
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 4: like he still gotta grow as a player. But yeah,

391
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,560

00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: he knows that there's a Christmas Creme next door to

468
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: the Magic City.

469
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 5: He probably knows about both.

470
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: Should I pull up the map?

471
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: Do you want to actually check if it's there? Watch

472
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 6: would be like, no Krispy Kreme ever there? Oh yeah,

473
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 6: I could have sworn there was there. I know, my man,

474
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 6: we actually haven't donuts in the Strip.

475
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: Club Magic City in Atlanta, Georgia. All right, let's see here,

476
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: Magic City. Is there a Christma Creme next to it?

477
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to do some more researcher. I don't

478
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 3: see it off the top. Adam Coplin, deep pop Dad

479
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: and done with you. We'll get our correct staff on it.

480
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: Find out Marcus is lying. There's a Gourmet Foods International

481
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: across the highway, but it in next door to to

482
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 3: Magic City. When we when we come on back more

483
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 3: on the Golden State Warriors. You got that update from

484
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: on Steph Curry out for tonight's game. The thought they're

485
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: saying is that it could return Saturday against the Nets potentially.

486
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: No, sorry, wednesdaygainst the Nets.

487
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: Who Wednesday against the Nets.

488
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't sound.

489
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 6: Like he'll play on Wednesday either, And so you know

490
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 6: you're wondering if Easther come back the same night, as

491
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 6: you know, the Giants making their debut opening night.

492
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 5: But that's not like that's the case either.

493
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 2: Right now, we'll get into some of that, but also

494
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: I want to talk more about this. What's more likely

495
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: this off season?

496
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: Giannis or Lebron sam Amock of the athletic our buddy said,

497
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: there is a growing I don't know, take expectation. Yeah,

498
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: that Lebron James will not return to the LA Lakers.

499
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 3: That's not surprise, Marcus.

500
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 4: I don't know.

501
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: It seems like a long shot. Still, you have to

502
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 3: get Lebron to come here. What's more likely? Trade free

503
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 3: Giannis or sign Lebron? What would you want more? We'll

504
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 3: talk about it next thirty. Work rolls on on the

505
