Speaker 2: weird noises in the background from some of us today, JD.

00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: You said, you got, like, what's going on over there?

12
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: You got a plumber and some construction.

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Rummer right behind me working on a toilet. I got

14
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: an ac guy going up and down the stairs all day.

15
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I got someone taking down a tree, like

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: two houses down. I can hear a chainsaw going nuts.

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: Tomorrow they're going to be redoing their driveway next to me,

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: so that's gonna be nice. So anyway, yeah, apologies.

Speaker 2: Step in podcast sent them into no Dunks at the

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Athletic dot Com. We hit the beach yesterday to answer

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: a few of your cues. Topics included a hypothetical Lakers

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: Celtics trade that got everybody angry whether Anthony Edwards is

30
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: a more exciting player than Zion Williamson. We talked about

31
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: sunflower seeds and ninety four on the Sega Genesis, and

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: Lee's leaky roof and Tim Horton's making changes. We had

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: a blast on the beach, Lee, did you get up

34
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: in the article last night?

35
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: This morning?

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: I checked at the storm, well, the storm, the daily check,

37
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: but you're serious, No.

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: When we were expecting a storm last night, it didn't

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 4: really happen though, So I didn't work up with that

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: howling wind, that whistling sound that rarely is worse than

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 4: a nightmare for me. So I just had at work

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 4: up this morning and safe and sound for now for now.

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 4: But you know, it's not a problem that goes away.

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: It's always there in the back of my mind.

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: I'm not even convinced you live in a house at

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: this point. It's like you're in a tent. You're so

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: worried about the wind and the rain.

48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 4: I tell you, I think I'd rather be in a tent,

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: to be honest, because at least I can rely on that.

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: I used to We used to go camping tons as kids.

51
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: I never once had a leak.

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Ever, well, not even a ground leak, because you got

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: to watch your pressure on the sides. I remember.

54
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we got a bit of rain sometimes, but

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: Dicky was always pretty good at getting those tents up

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: for us, and I caught us the right way. So

57
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: maybe I'll move into the tents.

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: Awesome immagulate items available for sale over at No dunks

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: dot com, So go grab your No Dunks hoodies and

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: shorts and T shirts and stuff like that. Yeah, Lee,

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: he's got a good morning, sweet world there. That looks great, Lely. Okay, guys,

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: we'll get to some game talk from last night. We

63
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: had a lot of blowouts in the NBA. Oh, we

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: had a good one late between the Nets and the Blazers. Well,

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: we'll get to some of those games, but let's start

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: once again here with some trade rumor the way Jady says,

67
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: it's so sexy. Trade rumors. Trade deadline tomorrow, you know,

68
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: just over twenty four hours from now, it will be

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: in the books. And we're a little light on the

70
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: actual trades happening. But you know, there were some I

71
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't say new rumors yesterday, but some confirmed rumors. Let's

72
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: call them that first one tray have about it here.

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: The Rockets are are apparently progressing in talks to trade

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: Victor Oladipo. Again, this is a name that's been in

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: the trade cycle for a while, and it sounds like

76
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. It's just to who So, do you

77
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: have a you know, a thought on where he could

78
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: go and what it will take to get him. What's

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: your take on this?

80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: This one, honestly, Skeets has me scratching my head a

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: little bit. Okay, no doubt about it. The Rockets want

82
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: to trade him. I think they're gonna find a partner

83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: because he got woes. Saying quote, Houston Rockets are progressing

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: on several fronts in trade talks to trade guard Victor Oladipo.

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: Strong confidence they'll execute a deal ahead of the trade deadline.

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Sounds good, I believe it. He continues.

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: The Rockets are increasingly comfortable with the offers on Oladipo

88
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: in the marketplace, which include young players and first round

89
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: pick combinations that the franchise believes are suitable returns. Several teams,

90
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: huh would trade a young player and a first round

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: pick for a guy whose trade value is at its

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: lowest right now, who can be a free agent in

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: the summer. I'm a little dubious about that one, because

94
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 3: the f Alex, Kelly, Eco and others had this quote

95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: in their Oladipo report. I think the Rockets will be

96
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: selling very low on this, impossibly lower than anyone can

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: imagine right now. The executive continues low enough that someone

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: who has little chance of keeping him may not. Karen

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: would take a flyer on him with no promises of

100
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: retaining him. The market is wider than people think because

101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 3: the value is lower than people anticipating.

102
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: Uh.

103
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: Furthermore, Shawn's is reporting that Miami, New York, and Detroit

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: are interested and that the Rockets might settle for a

105
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: second rounder all of which is to say, this seems

106
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: to me like a No Dunk's happy hour, a lot

107
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: of smoke, But I don't think much has changed so far.

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: The Rockets want to trade Victor Oladipo, They're gonna find somebody,

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: But to me, he's still second in line on the

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: trading block amongst guards, behind Kyle Lowry. We're going to

111
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: find out where Kyle Lowry goes first, because he's probably

112
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: a more desirable player, especially for a team like Miami,

113
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: which seems like the destination that these two guys have

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: in common right near right now, Miami should be more

115
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: interested in Lowry. But I could definitely see the New

116
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: York Knicks getting into the game. That got extra first rounders.

117
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: They've got their own first rounders, they've got cap space,

118
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: They've got some young players you could throw into a

119
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: trade in Kevin Knox and Frank Neil Aquina.

120
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: They've got that.

121
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: Glamour market that Victor Oladipo clearly is interested in, and

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: the Knicks would get his bird rights if they do

123
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: want to keep him. The Knicks they're making a playoff push.

124
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: They're probably gonna make it this year as a as

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: we've seen so far, you know, with teams dropping out

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: and we're starting to see some of some of their

127
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: competition turning into sellers. So I can certainly see the

128
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: Knicks hopping in here and making a move because I

129
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: think that the Heat would rather wait for Lowry and

130
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: try and get Lowry as much as they can. But

131
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 3: we shall see. I do think Victor Oladipo will be traded.

132
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: I will be shocked though. If it's for a player

133
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: and a pick. That's a big load for Victor Oladipo.

134
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like the athletic beat guys are saying,

135
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: this could be like the old Drummond poo poo platter

136
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: type of deal here, which will shock people if it

137
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: does happen. And I think it's in play. What I

138
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: mean by that is like maybe it is like a

139
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: second rounder and like obviously some players to make it

140
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: happen and that's it. And you're like, what that's all

141
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: for Victor Oladipo. Yeah, that's sort of where he's at.

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: And of course, hitting free agency, he turned down lee

143
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: a two year extension from the Rockets. All Ladipo did

144
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: when he got there, you know, making it very clear

145
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: that he's ready to explore a free agency here. But

146
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: what is your tick? I like how Trey really broke

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: that down. Do you think it would be wise for

148
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: the Knicks to let's say a Knox, maybe Anili Kina

149
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: and then maybe one first round pick. Is that even

150
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: still too much for the New York Knicks to sort

151
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 2: of take a flyer. Maybe they would have an arranged

152
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: deal to sign Victor Olidebal. What's your tick?

153
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: I wouldn't give up a first rounder from the Knicks.

154
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: They've been pretty disciplined in the last couple of years

155
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: at holding onto those picks and not trading them away.

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: For the veteran who you know on the depot, it's

157
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: very hard to figure out exactly how good he is

158
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: right now. He's twenty eight. He's going to be twenty

159
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: nine by the end of this season, so he's not old.

160
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: But did he just have one really good season where

161
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: he made the All Star team and are those injuries

162
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 4: going to catch up to him or is he to

163
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: sort of play who actually could be just what they need.

164
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: Another veteran who can score, is a good defender. He

165
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: can provide that. But I think there's a little bit

166
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: too much risk involved to give up a first round

167
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: for him. If you can get him for a second round,

168
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: I think it's worth it, especially because the Knicks are

169
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: reported to be one of the cities and the destinations

170
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: that he wants to sign with, so I think that's

171
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: good and again for the Knicks getting his bird right,

172
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: so I think that's worth it. But low risk. Don't

173
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: give up any of that first round capital because I

174
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: just don't think it's worth it when unless you do

175
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 4: have as you mentioned, there maybe a little bit of

176
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: a wink wink, Yes, I'm going to sign here next season,

177
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: but I just don't think we know that yet. Because

178
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: if you're Victor Oladipo and you've got an offer from

179
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: the Net, from the Knicks and the Heat, I would

180
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: probably lean more to the Heat because they're a little

181
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: closer to a championship than the Knicks. But who knows

182
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: exactly what he's thinking there.

183
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: He's a good.

184
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 4: Player, and you know, turning down two years and I

185
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: think was about forty five million from the Ruckets, well,

186
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: you know, what's he going to get in the open market?

187
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: Is anyone going to give him, you know, four years

188
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: and eighty five basically similar to what he just got

189
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: from the well the Thunder originally signed into that. You know,

190
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: I'm not sure there's a huge market for a guy

191
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: like that, Like, I don't know there's going to be

192
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: people just throw lining up to throw money at him

193
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: next season, even though it's not a you know, there's

194
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: not tons of free agents out there, so I'm not sure.

195
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: But I just think that if you're the Knicks, you know,

196
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 4: resist giving up too much because I think he can

197
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: be had for less, even if it is one of

198
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: your younger players there, like perhaps a Knox or a

199
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 4: Neili King. I think probably Neil Keener out of those two.

200
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: Kevin Knox I liked him at the start, but he

201
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: doesn't seem to have found a spot there with Thibbs.

202
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: So I think there's something to be done for the Knicks,

203
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: but don't give up that first round.

204
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: Or if I was you, yeah, we saw Dale here

205
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: in the stream team because I was saying, could this

206
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: be a Drummond Lake trade? That's right, Dale, all the

207
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 2: deeple for a bag of beans. It could be in play.

208
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: It really employed as the guys have taken us through here. Okay,

209
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: so that's all the deeper. We'll keep our eye on that.

210
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: Our next rumor here Theuggets, I guess are interested in

211
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: Evan Fournier. Now Sports Illustrated it's Chris Mannix. He says

212
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: that the Magic are committed to moving both Aaron Gordon

213
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: and Evan Fournier before the deadline. Now, Orlando, Houston and

214
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: Oka see they're seen as the top sellers here, so

215
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Orlando is in that mix, Houston with

216
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: Oladipo Okac probably with Al Horford and George Hill as sellers.

217
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: I saw that Josh Robbins with the Athletic had a

218
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: great breakdown from the Magic side of things, with potential

219
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: trades that we could maybe see here in the next

220
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, some of them involving the Denver Nuggets.

221
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: I talked about Aaron Gordon I thought being a perfect

222
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: sort of fit there in Denver, who replaced Jeremy Grant,

223
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: replaced Tory Craig. You know, got defensive wing guy there.

224
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: Fournier though, I think they could see him as like

225
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: an upgrade over Gary Harris. He's a twenty point per

226
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: game score. Evan Fournier is, you know, he's twenty eight

227
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: years old, though he's he's bolded like he's forty five.

228
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: But he's good decent percentages forty six percent from the floor,

229
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: thirty eight and a half percent from deep. He would help.

230
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: It's just is this a big deal where it's Age

231
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: and Fournier going to Denver or is it maybe just

232
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: one of the other and which one would they want more?

233
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 2: I'll throw it a couple trade options. I'd love to

234
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: hear your take, guys from again Josh Robbins of the

235
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: Athletic go to the Athletic dot com slash no dun's

236
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: get in right now for a dollar a month. This one,

237
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: this would just be for Aaron Gordon. Aaron Gordon going

238
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: to Denver and ken Birch for Gary Harris, RJ. Hampton

239
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: and Denver's twenty twenty one first round pick. Simple as that?

240
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: Is that enough? You know you're you're sort of you're

241
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: moving your head back and forth a little bit. You

242
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: got your nose turned up a little bit, tray. You

243
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: don't hate it, you don't love it. What's your take? Yeah,

244
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't hate it.

245
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: I don't love it, which means it's probably a good trade. Yeah,

246
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: it seems like a little steep to be giving RJ.

247
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: Hampton up and a first round pick to me for

248
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: a guy who will have an expiring contract come the

249
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: off season, and Evan Fournier. But I am with you

250
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: Skeets that the Nuggets could certainly just as an upgrade

251
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: over maybe Gary Harris.

252
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: I don't know, Maybe he's equivalent to Will Barton. I

253
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: don't know what it is.

254
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: Not every trade is really a banger. He can't address

255
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: every single need with every single trade. But Fournier is

256
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: a solid guy. They're bringing, you know, a composo PJ.

257
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: Dozi or Zeit Nase off the bench. They've all had moments,

258
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: but certainly teams like a little bit more reliability, a

259
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: little bit more veteranship come playoff time.

260
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: So I can see the Nuggets.

261
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: Going for that sort of move, getting Evan Fournier back

262
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: into his old number ninety four.

263
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: Hope you didn't burn your Fournyer jerseys.

264
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: Nuggets fans, But yeah, yeah, I mean, if I don't know,

265
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: I'm kind of an RJ.

266
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: Hampton believer.

267
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: I would like to take a shot on him becoming

268
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: something of a player.

269
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: But I don't know. That's maybe how you entice the magic. Yeah,

270
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: I think so.

271
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: I don't know which they would be more interested in

272
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: a player or a pick. Obviously they would want both

273
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: of them. But if I'm choosing, I would rather give

274
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: up the pick than give up R. J. Hampton just

275
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: because you know the Nuggets is going to be pretty

276
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: high in the draft.

277
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: It feels like if there's a Nuggets magic trade, ly

278
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: again for Aaron Gordon or for Evan Fournier or somehow

279
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: for both, it's going to include from Denver like sending

280
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: to Orlando, probably Gary Harris or Will Barton, right, you know,

281
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: one of the two, and then probably an RJ. Hampton

282
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: or a ball ball or again maybe you know both,

283
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: if we're talking a mega deal here, and then maybe

284
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: a pick or two like that twenty twenty one first

285
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: round pick, and then I don't think they have one

286
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: until like this future future first round pick until like

287
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, but then their second round picks you

288
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: get thrown there. There's I think that's what's going to

289
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: be the framework of again a potential ag or Fournier

290
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: going to Denver. But what do you think of this

291
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: sort of these two teams maybe doing a little dance

292
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: here over the next twenty four hours.

293
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: Anything Denver can get in return for Gary Harris they'll

294
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 4: take because he's no longer a part of their future.

295
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: So if you can get Aaron Gordon, and again it

296
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 4: all comes back to what type of Aaron Gordon are

297
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 4: you getting? Are you getting a player who's committed and

298
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 4: he's going to really put in on both ends? Because

299
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 4: if you are, then that's a win I think for

300
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 4: the Denver Nuggets. But if you kind of get the

301
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 4: guy who's frustrating and inconsistent, then you're probably no better

302
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 4: off with him than you are with Gary Harris right now.

303
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: So it's going to be better when Aaron Gordon, maybe

304
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: if he is inconsistent, is your fourth best player on

305
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: any given note, maybe fifth? That's fine. You're a little with.

306
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: That, I know, but it's just he's such a frustrating player.

307
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: But again, he might be the sort of guy who

308
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: gets to a new team and he's like, finally I'm

309
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: f free and I'm gonna run, I'm gonna hustle, I'm

310
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: gonna block shots, I'm going to shoot those threes that

311
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: I that I can shoot. I'm going to catch lobs

312
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: and he's gonna do all that stuff. If he is,

313
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: then this is a great move for here for the

314
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: Nuggets because, as I say, Harris is kind of out

315
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: of their out of their future, so.

316
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: You would have no problem if you're Denver. Again some

317
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: framework of let's the contract of Gary Harris or Wilburton,

318
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: let's say, and then it's probably good at taking O. J.

319
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: Hampton or a ball ball. I think the taste the

320
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: matter somehow. And then maybe it's that first round pick,

321
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: probably twenty twenty one, which is obviously going to be

322
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: later in the in the first round, if you're don.

323
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna ge Fournier as well

324
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: as another reliable backup scorer, then I think if you're

325
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: the Nuggets, it's worth it. Again, I agree with what

326
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 4: Trey's saying about Hampton and a first round pick. I

327
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: think it's a little bit of a steep price considering

328
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: you don't know how long those guys are going to

329
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: stick around. But you're also kind of you need to

330
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: make a move, I think for Denver just to get

331
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: a little bit more offensive firepower. And I think you

332
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: get that certainly with Fournier because he's one of those

333
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: guys and come off the bench and he's a bit

334
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 4: like you know, Jordan Crawford, lew Willams. Whatever you can

335
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: go out and get you some points. So that's what

336
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: they need. And Bob Bowl, Yeah, it's been disponne. He

337
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 4: hasn't really played at all this season. I was hoping

338
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: after what we saw down in Orlando he'd get a

339
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: few more meaningful minutes, but he's not really doing that.

340
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 4: I still think there's some potential there. But if you're

341
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 4: the Nuggets, if you can upgrade over him right now,

342
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: I think it's worth it. So I can see Denver

343
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: kind of pushing this trade a little more because there's

344
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: some pieces there that they could help, that could really

345
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 4: help them this season. And they get a good look

346
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: at Aaron Gordon, you know, going forward, because he's still

347
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: a young player.

348
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: He teaches and he's under contract to you. Yeah, he

349
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: teases you with.

350
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: That athleticism and those skills, so.

351
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: He's twenty five years old.

352
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 4: I know, if you get unlock Field Whale, then you're

353
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 4: getting an absolute steal. But if you get the same

354
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 4: sort of Aaron Gooden that we've seen the last couple

355
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 4: of years in Orlando, it probably doesn't move the need

356
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 4: a little that much.

357
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see here. Yet Magic are making moves. We're

358
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: happy to see it. It's gonna happen. Is are they

359
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: going to Denver? They going somewhere else? You know the Blazers.

360
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: Are they going to the Celtics? One of these guys,

361
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: They're not gonna have the same roster come Friday. I'm

362
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: very excited about that. If they end of.

363
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: An era man and end of an era for the Magic. Ugh,

364
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they'll probably still have Vooch. Yes,

365
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: crazy that this is going to be the all time

366
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: leading scorer for the Orlando Magic.

367
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: That is wild.

368
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: They'll probably happen if he sticks around, It'll happen at

369
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: the end of next season.

370
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: But uh, I don't know. I mean, you're right, Aaron

371
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: Gordon's only twenty five.

372
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: You have to imagine that things get better if he

373
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: goes to another team and has a change of scenery.

374
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'm not convinced.

375
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: Man. I think he helps teams. He's a versatile defender,

376
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: he can.

377
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: Pass the ball.

378
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: But we're all asking him to be something he has

379
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: had no interest in being so far. He's wanted to

380
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: be the number one guy on a team that barely

381
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: makes the playoffs, and that has been the story of

382
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon's career. If he's ready to commit himself to

383
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 3: be in the role, guy, let's see it.

384
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: I would love to.

385
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: See it because he would be amazing next to Jokich.

386
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: How many dunks could he get playing next to Jokch?

387
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: Cutting back door, I know, I mean, I think he

388
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: slots in there perfectly. I'm not concerned about like him

389
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: and Porter like sort of like you know, being too

390
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: similar stuff like that, not at all. I really think

391
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: he works well there. And I hadn't even thought about

392
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: Fournier also going there, But you guys are sort of

393
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: talking me into it that they could use him, of course,

394
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: like especially maybe in a vent roll or maybe even

395
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: starting if like Olil Barton is moving back to Orlando.

396
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: So I love the idea of Denver like without like

397
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: mortgaging their future here, Like we're talking to pick and

398
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: a young guy like they have and they've hit on

399
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 2: a lot of picks they've drafted really well. You know,

400
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Trey. I sort of have high hopes

401
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: for Roje Hampton, Like bol Bowl is obviously a crazy enigma.

402
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: I mean we've seen flashes like he could be something

403
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: pretty special. But there's a bit of an opening in

404
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: the Western Conference like with the injuries to some of

405
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers star players, you know, the Clippers like not

406
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: instilling a ton of confidence some teams. You know, there's

407
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: the jazz there in the Suns, but they got to

408
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: sort of prove it. Nuggets like could see a path.

409
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it's crazy to see a path with

410
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: the way Yolkic is playing, and if you get bubble

411
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: with type Murray games, that they could go to the

412
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 2: conference finals again or even to the finals and maybe

413
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: win the whole damn thing. So yeah, maybe they get

414
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: aggressive here and make a move, or maybe they're happy

415
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: with this squad and they just continue to see like

416
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: Porter flourish as this third star with those two guys

417
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: that I mentioned. I do have a question here for

418
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: you guys. I saw ESPN's Mike Schmitz. He had a

419
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: good article yesterday sort of running through six prospects, all

420
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 2: under the age of twenty three, who teams would be

421
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: wise maybe to try and target at the deadline here.

422
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 2: So all of them are recent first round picks still

423
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: on their rookie contracts. He had like Wendell Carter Junior

424
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: and Infonty Simons and Seku Dumbae and Romeo Langford and

425
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: a couple other guys. Thought I could throw it at

426
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: you guys, which young player could use? Maybe a change

427
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: of scenery, Lee, why don't we start with you? Where

428
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: do you want to go?

429
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not going to choose one of those guys.

430
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: If that's okay, it's a guy. The guy I'm going

431
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: with exactly Larry Markinen. He's biggest problem is he can't

432
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 4: stay on the floor. But when he's on the floor,

433
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 4: you know he can shoot the ball.

434
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: Well.

435
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: He needs to improve other parts of his game, but

436
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: I just wonder if there seems to be enough interest

437
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 4: in him because he's a seven footer who can hit

438
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 4: that three and he can run the floor. So I

439
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 4: just wonder if going to a new team, in a

440
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 4: new situation, someone could get more out of him, because

441
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 4: he's the sort of guy I thought under Jim Boylan,

442
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: I thought he's not using him right. Maybe under a

443
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 4: new coach and Billy Donovan he'll get more out of him.

444
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: But again, the problem sort of is a double edged sword.

445
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: It's like you've got Mark. When he can play, he's good,

446
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: but he can't stay on the floor enough. So that's

447
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 4: I think that's the problem. He needs to get healthy.

448
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 4: But I think there would be enough teams interested in

449
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 4: him because he's He's shown enough talent. It's just maybe

450
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 4: he just needs to be in a different system. And

451
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 4: I think that the Bulls are probably looking to sell

452
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 4: at the moment as well. Let's talk about zachly and

453
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to trade.

454
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 3: No.

455
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: I think they can to keep him, but I think

456
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 4: they're a playoff team.

457
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: Man, he's not going their buyers, they're buyers.

458
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: They got to be sellers because they want to bring

459
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: somebody in, but their buyers here.

460
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think Mark can be had pretty cheaply.

461
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, Trey was talking about yesterday. Yeah, I agree

462
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: with you that lowry marketing. There's interest. You can see why.

463
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: And I think the Bulls if they got something back

464
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: that intrigued them, they probably would move on from lowery marketing.

465
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 4: I would like to just see how he would go

466
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 4: in a different situation. You know, it's like you just

467
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: sit on the perimeter and shoot those threes and just

468
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: with a different coach and new city, new team, maybe

469
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: things would be better for him because he's another guy.

470
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: He teases you, but then it's like, yeah, he's out

471
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 4: for five games.

472
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's a lot of that. There's a lot

473
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: of yeah, some of those other names Trey that I

474
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: threw you or somebody else that you have a young

475
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 2: prospect that you could think, you know, getting traded at

476
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: the deadline would help his career.

477
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: Well, Skates, let me just tell you how much it

478
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 3: hurts my heart to hear Wendell Carter Junior listed amongst

479
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: Seku domb and Romeo Lane for guys that are barely

480
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: in the rotations for their teams. And this was a

481
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: guy starting for the Bulls not too long ago. Not

482
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: to mention, Lee wants to trade Lowry markin in and

483
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent in agreement with him.

484
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

485
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: Let's see if they can get this trade done with

486
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: the Pacers. That's my new trade for the auto porter

487
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: Demanta Sabonis and Malcolm Brogen Reporter Mark and and we'll

488
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: even throw in Ryan Archie Diakano. That seems like he

489
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: would be a perfect fit for Indiana, if you know

490
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. As for me, the player I think

491
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 3: could use a change of scenery. The most correct answer

492
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 3: you don't want to hear at Skeets. It's Dearreon Fox.

493
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: That's not a conversation to have right now. If he

494
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: finishes his contract with Sacramento that hasn't even started yet,

495
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: I will be shocked. That being said, the Kings sound

496
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 3: like they're going to be active. Harrison Barnes seems like

497
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: he could be traded. Rashaun Holmes falling off the map

498
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: a little bit here, but I would take a spin

499
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: on the bag Man. Oh that's right, Marvin Bagaban's Bagley.

500
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: I'm still a fan of this guy. It could be

501
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 3: because you wore an eyepatch on the starters, but I

502
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: really do think he's talented. He's only twenty two. He's

503
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: one of the fastest big guys in the league. He

504
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: has shown flashes. The problem is that he's always as

505
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: long as he with the Kings, He's always going to

506
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: be compared to Luka Doncic and Trey Young, his comps

507
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: from the draft. But he's still been a solid guy.

508
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 3: He's at fourteen points, seven rebounds a game, fifty percent

509
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: shooting thirty five from three. I think he can get better,

510
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 3: just needs this get a little bit stronger. He needs

511
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: to kind of find the balance of his game. Playing

512
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: as a role guy versus a pop guy. But we

513
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 3: know that at the very least Dad Bags wants him

514
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: out of Sacramento. We haven't heard much about that lately,

515
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: but there were some rumblings early in the season.

516
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: That's a by low guy. I would be interested in

517
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: Marvin Bagley. It's a good one. This is a decent

518
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: one too from Jay in the stream team. I'd like

519
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: to see Cam Reddish on OKC somewhere where he could

520
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: run wild and figure out his game a little bit more.

521
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: Cam redsch his name been popping up in some of

522
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 2: these trade rumors. The Hawks interested in a few players apparently.

523
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 2: I guess Marcus Smart was maybe on their list and

524
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: Malcolm brogged in there maybe trying to call the Pacers

525
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: about So maybe a Cam Reddish getting an opportunity somewhere else.

526
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 2: But we'll see great stuff. Get your answers in, tweet

527
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: them at us at no dunk sink. Which young player

528
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: could use a change of scenery, Who will be traded

529
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: over the next twenty four hours or so? Okay, let's

530
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: leave it at that. I mean, look, there's been no

531
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 2: real news, updated news on the Kyle Lowry situation. It's

532
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 2: still it sounds like it's going to come down at

533
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: the last minute here the is it just the Raps

534
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: like trying to run up the trade offers lead between

535
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: two or three teams, like if it's Miami, it's Philadelphia.

536
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: Is there a third team we don't even know about

537
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: in the mix? You know, it feels like it's going

538
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 2: to come down to tomorrow, like to the final minute.

539
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: I think of this guy Kyle Lowry and traded. Yeah.

540
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 4: I mean, this nine game losing streak sort of has

541
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 4: I think changed things as well, because if the Raptors

542
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: were in a strong position, say fourth or fifth in

543
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 4: the East, and I don't think he gets traded at all.

544
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 4: But now it's like, well the season's pretty much shot,

545
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 4: so let's cash you more. We can. But Zilla this

546
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 4: morning as well kind of saying, you know, is can

547
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: Pascal be had?

548
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: Can he be had? I mean, and he.

549
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 4: Makes a good he makes a good point there that

550
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 4: you know, Fred van Vliet is more likely sort of

551
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 4: taking over the throne from Kyle Larry as far as

552
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: the sort of way that he plays, a style, that

553
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: he plays the leader and all that in Pascal, who

554
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 4: you know, he earned that big contract from his great

555
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 4: play and he course won the championship there, but he

556
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 4: has sort of struggled a bit since then.

557
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: And he's a frustrated man right now.

558
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: He is. I don't know if you've got fined fifty

559
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: thousand at the end. That wasn't true, right, Yeah, So

560
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what happened, But that's the second time

561
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: he's kind of got into it a little bit with

562
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 4: Nick nursees scene, so I think there's some frustrations there. So, yeah,

563
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 4: I for a longest time have thought there's no way

564
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: they're going to trade Kyle. I think the Raptors are

565
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 4: going to make one last push. But now where they are,

566
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 4: I think Masai will move on from him, And yeah,

567
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 4: it might not come down until two fifty six tomorrow

568
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: afternoon Easton, but I think Kyle will be a Miami

569
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: hit player.

570
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: So Trey made a good point before we went live

571
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: here today saw me wearing the Lowry Raptors jersey. I'm

572
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: wearing it because I was like, you know, this could

573
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: be his last game as a Toronto Raptor until he

574
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: eventually comes back at the end of his career. THO

575
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: would he ever play? Probably just signed the old ten

576
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 2: day contract there to retire. But Trey said, well, if

577
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: he's being traded, he's not going to play tonight. I

578
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: was like, well, I hadn't even thought about that, and

579
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen any reports about that. Lee, Like there's

580
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: been no word like when was his birthday? Is it

581
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: today or yesterday? I can never remember anyway, Sure, but

582
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about that, Like, yeah, if he's actually

583
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: going to be moved, it'd be pretty silly if he

584
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: plays tonight, you know, from the organization standpoint, Oh, you

585
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: don't have the guy to get injured or something something

586
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: crazy to happen. But I haven't seen any reports that

587
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 2: he's not playing against Denver, So there's no leaks that

588
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: come out of Toronto. So you know, well, if anything,

589
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: I think somebody's troll in Cham's with this, Like you know,

590
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: Siakam just got fined fifty thousand by the team. It's

591
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: like yeah, And then I was like, no, he didn't

592
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: like what's going on? Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. Does

593
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: Lowry play tonight? Is it his last game? Is he

594
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: still there on Friday? We'll find out soon enough. Okay,

595
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: let's get to some of the games from last night.

596
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: At least uh, what are two of them? At least

597
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: the best one was the nightcap, and it was James

598
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: Harden having twenty five points and seventeen assists as the

599
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: Nets beat the Blazers one sixteen, one to twelve. A

600
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: lot of lead changes, a lot of ties. Good game again.

601
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: A lot of the other ones were blowouts. But Trey

602
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: a big takeaway from this one.

603
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 3: Just another banger for James Harden, slicing and dice in

604
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 3: the Blazers.

605
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: Not a great shooting. I got a lot of free.

606
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: Throws, but the Blazers honestly just could not stay in

607
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 3: front of him hard and tied a career high with

608
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 3: seventeen assists, and the Nets got another win without Kevin Drant,

609
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 3: this one obviously without Kyrie Irving as well. And all

610
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, coming around on the James Harden

611
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 3: MBP case a little bit here they have you can

612
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: make an argument they've been the best team in the

613
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 3: league since they acquired James Harden. Most of that, obviously

614
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: has been without Kevin Durant, some of it without Kyrie Irving,

615
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 3: but the way he left Houston was a disgrace, There's

616
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. But can you blame him, Darryl Mory,

617
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: Mike D'Antoni, Russell, Westbrook, they all asked out. They just

618
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 3: did it first. They had their wishes granted. Harden allegedly

619
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: asked out in the offseason as well. But Houston is

620
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: the team that said, we want to get uncomfortable. We're

621
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: fine with that. So Harden said, you're not gonna grant

622
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: my wish. I will grant your wish. Houston asked for it.

623
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: Houston got what they asked for. They finally traded him.

624
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: They lost twenty straight immediately if they had figured out

625
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 3: the Harden trade before they figured out the Westbrook trade.

626
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 3: James Harden is probably the MVP leader right now, and

627
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: I think you can just point at the development of

628
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: Nick Claxton to say so, because people are like, wow,

629
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: Nick Claxton is good.

630
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: They've already got there.

631
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 3: Jared Allen replacement. He looks like a young DeAndre Jordan

632
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: catching the lobs, defending the rim. But it's actually James

633
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: Harden who's really good here being Oh my goodness, eight

634
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 3: makes for Claxton last night looked awesome. Four of them

635
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: were alley oops from James Harden. He's doing what he

636
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: did for Clint Capella when he was a Rocket. This

637
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: is not dissimilar to Steve Nash getting contracts for so

638
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 3: many different guys. Harden man that if we could erase

639
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: that one month with the Rockets, if they would have

640
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: figured out a way to trade him in November, there's

641
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: no doubt in my mind that Harden would be leading

642
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 3: the MVP race right now because the guy is unstoppable. Unstoppable,

643
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: no one can stay in front of him. I mean,

644
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 3: the Blazers aren't a defensive team. That's why I was

645
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 3: excited to tune in for this game. I was like,

646
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 3: ain't no defense being played between these two teams. It's

647
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: gonna be a banger. And it played out as it did.

648
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean a trade in the offseason, you're good.

649
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: But a trade during the season, that's tough.

650
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: Right right, I mean, I will say for Claxton, and

651
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: this is in Harden's doing, the guy plays hard on defense,

652
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: like he's for a big right, He's like very switchable,

653
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: So that is good. That's a nice wrinkle that they

654
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: could have, of course in a playoff series lea where

655
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: they'd feel maybe a little comfortable with him sort of

656
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: at the five and again getting switched on to guards

657
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: and he's athletic but otherwise offensively one hundred percent agree

658
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: with you, Trey. This is the hardened factor. It's nash

659
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: like and hard. It wasn't going to play in this game.

660
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: I mean, apparently he had a sore neck, but he

661
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: like gave it a go and I saw this stack

662
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: going around. No guy has played more games than anyone

663
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: in the NBA since Harden entered the league than James

664
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 2: with eight hundred and seventy one. A bit of an

665
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: iron man there, and you sort of don't really think

666
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: of it because I don't know. I guess you're like,

667
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: he's always up in the club and you know, you're

668
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: just seeing them on social media having fun, but he

669
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: rarely misses games. He's he's sort of like iverson that way,

670
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: or I guess MJ to some extent Lee where he's

671
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: like go out and party all night, but he's always

672
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: there and he's generally on the floor. But what'd you

673
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: take away from this one?

674
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: Well, but that's why as well, he was allowed to

675
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: do what he wanted in Houston, because right, he would party,

676
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: but then you go out and put up a fifty

677
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 4: point triple double. And it's hard to sort of say

678
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 4: to go, Okay, you can't partty if you are going out.

679
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 4: They're performing, So credit to him, and I think hardly

680
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: the lounge Kevin Durant's out, it does strengthen his case

681
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 4: more because I think once Kevin Durant comes back, it

682
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 4: just kind of takes a little bit of the sort

683
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 4: of shine off what Harden is doing. Because right now,

684
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 4: as you say, no Kyrie Irving last night, so it

685
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: was like he was there with a sort of almost

686
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 4: second unit group. But he orchestrated that win pretty well.

687
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: And Nick Claxon talking about him, just be smart. Run

688
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 4: the floor, man, you'll get the ball. Just run the floor.

689
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 4: That's all you have to do. And he's doing that

690
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 4: really well. And this was a great game. It was

691
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: a good back and forth controversy sort of at the

692
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: end there because a call was made that was overturned,

693
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 4: but the Blazers didn't get the ball, but they did

694
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: from the jump ball and Lillard I thought he was

695
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: going to pull up from just inside half court there

696
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: to tie the game, but he kind of just stumbled

697
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 4: a little bit lost the ball and they went out

698
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,239
Speaker 4: to commenton who got fout and then missed at one

699
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: of the free throws. So the Blazers had a chance

700
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 4: to maybe extend this game and missed it at the end.

701
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 4: But James Harden was incredible again last night, and he

702
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 4: has been incredible, and Mike Breen talked about it on

703
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 4: a game recently, I think it was against the Knicks,

704
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: saying he just thinks that James Harden is more fun

705
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 4: to play with right now. I don't know if that's

706
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 4: right or not, but I think James Harden looks like

707
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: he's having more fun to me than he did in

708
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: those that sort of last season or two there in Houston.

709
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 4: I just think he is. He looks a little bit

710
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 4: more at ease. He's in control. Yeah, the shot wasn't

711
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 4: great last night, but you know he was, he was

712
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 4: in control. He was the best player on the court

713
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 4: last night, going up against another MVP candidate and Damian Lillard.

714
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, this is this is Things are going very

715
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: very well there for the Brooklyn Nets, everything is going

716
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 4: well and as I mentioned, Kevin Duranton is still to

717
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: come back to that team. So yeah, they're in a

718
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 4: very very nice spot right now.

719
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: What do you guys make of these You know, to

720
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: bring it back to the birthdays, just to correct myself.

721
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry's birthday tomorrow on the trade deadline day. Wow.

722
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: But people saying that Kyrie Irving is away from the

723
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: team right now now they're saying for family matters, and

724
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: it might be the case, but a lot of people

725
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: are like that it's his birthday, and then he's he

726
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: just celebrated a birthday, little roommate time off, and who

727
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: knows if that's the case, So we would just be guessing.

728
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: It's a pretty interesting timing. I will say I do.

729
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: I saw someone saying I love that Kyrie Irving treats

730
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: playing in the NBA like anybody else treats a normal job.

731
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: And it's totally true, which makes it weird but very

732
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: very funny in a strange way. And I guess it

733
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: doesn't like this is the thing. You're not even upset

734
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: because the team just keeps rolling like they got hard

735
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: and they got everybody contributing. Blake Griffin has turned into

736
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: like the greatest role player we've ever seen. Now. The

737
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: guy's hitting the floor of a loose balls, took a charge,

738
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: had a big basket like during the run at the

739
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: start of the fourth quarter. It's sort of like bully ball,

740
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: Blake just got inside. So yeah, I guess you can't

741
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: make a big deal out of this Kyrie thing, whether

742
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: it's even true or not, Trey, if that's why, and

743
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: I hope it's like not something really seriously with his

744
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: family going on.

745
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 3: Man, some people really like to celebrate birthdays. My buddy

746
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy every year comes around his birthday. This is

747
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: a nearly year old man.

748
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: Every year.

749
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 3: Murpha Palooza, Murpha Paluza thirty eight on deck this year. Me,

750
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: I usually have the trade deadline on my birthday. It's

751
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: usually like around February, towards the end of February. Different

752
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: this year obviously, but who knows what's going on. All

753
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: it does is helps James harden MVP case because he

754
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: is playing with the team that you would maybe they're

755
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: not quite on par with the Rockets teams that he

756
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: played with there when they were having their success, and

757
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: he was really knocking on the door of MVP sort

758
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: of things that that team was much better I think

759
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: than the Nets are without Durant and without Kyrie Irving.

760
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, the longer those two are missing time, the

761
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: more chance we get that James Harden makes another run

762
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: at finishing second in MVP voting. Here, Lee, you mentioned

763
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 3: some controversy in this game. There was a lot of controversy.

764
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: I thought, I think we were robbed of a beef

765
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: last night.

766
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Canter nineteen He got in the

767
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: box score, Ennis Canter nineteen points, nineteen rebounds.

768
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 3: And I was watching this game. I was I was

769
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: on beef watch, eyes on the game, eyes on the

770
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: box score. I think this was the Blazer's last offensive possession.

771
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: Somebody misses a shot, Cancer tips the ball in the

772
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 3: air twice, but then the nets actually grab the rebound

773
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: and go back down to the other end. So I'm watching,

774
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 3: I'm peeping the box score. A twenty popped up, huh,

775
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 3: and I headed to the butcher shop boy skates.

776
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: I was ready.

777
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: I was ready for that late night beef. I had

778
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: it all chopped up, baby, I was ready to go.

779
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: So I was like, all right, let me go, let

780
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: me go grab these clips. Here went over back to

781
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: the video box scores at NBA dot Com, and suddenly

782
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: this man has only nineteen rebounds. Hmmm, dubious, dubious. I

783
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: don't know where that last rebound went. I thought they

784
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 3: had it. I thought he had it. They took it

785
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 3: away as probably the right call since the nets actually

786
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 3: did come down with the ball.

787
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 4: Still disappointing though, but that's I mean, you see guys

788
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 4: tap it out to their teammate and the guy who

789
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 4: taps it gets the rebound.

790
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: M hm, you know, So it feels like they went

791
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: back and forth on that. Though there's no real steadfast

792
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: for rule, it feels like to me, especially watching all

793
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: these clips that Tray has been showing us over the

794
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: last year, I'm like, wait, that's a rebound, And then

795
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: sometimes you see it and doesn't chowpin and bars score

796
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: like another controlled tip or something like that. What appears

797
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: to be a control tip. Very strange. So, dude, yes,

798
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: that should have been. Would that have been Canter's third

799
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 2: big beef for the season. Does he already have two?

800
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: I think he has at least too he that might

801
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: have been his fourth? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I

802
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: was ready. I was ready.

803
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 3: It looks like it's gonna come down to Canter and

804
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert for the beef king this year. Andre Drummond

805
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: was the lead early, but that guy hasn't played in

806
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: like a month. He'd be racking him up if he could.

807
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: But uh, I don't know, cantor looking good, dude, he's uh,

808
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: he's been all right for the Trailblazers. There were some

809
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: questions what they were gonna do with Nurk, and he's

810
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 3: kind of stem the tide literally just rebounding. That's like

811
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 3: the best thing that Enis Canter gives you is he

812
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: crushes it on the offensive last.

813
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: That really helps the Blazers. I agree with all of that.

814
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: He has been really good. Obviously, a lot of rebounds,

815
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,479
Speaker 2: a lot of beef. I'm always worried and I see

816
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 2: like Canters having to play like forty minutes though for

817
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: my team in a game, not like my team's chances

818
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 2: of winning the game too too many. But they had

819
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 2: a couple of late guys out right the Blazers did

820
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 2: I think because of health and safety protocols. Simon's Off

821
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: the top of my head was Gary. Who's the other one?

822
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: Gary Trent Junior? Did he play? Unless I play? Who

823
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: the heck am I thinking of? Then there was another

824
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: player on the Blazers anyway that at first I was like,

825
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: whoa trade? Uh? Trade reasons here, you know, being held

826
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 2: out of the lineup. But no, apparently not. Okay, dubious

827
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: dubious dubious maybe had a big beef snatch away. You

828
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: said at the end of the year, we'll have a

829
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: beef king. Do you think we should like make a

830
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: crown made out of beef and send it to Yeah.

831
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, like Lady Gaga's Maris.

832
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah, Okay, we'll look into that.

833
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, let us know if you know how to make

834
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 3: a you know, apparel out of beef.

835
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: We had all right, next game here, Suns stay hot,

836
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: heat struggle again. Is Phoenix roles man ten one hundred, Lily.

837
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: You know, there was always a lot of talk about

838
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz roll in. I feel like there's less

839
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: talk about the Phoenix Suns rolling. I'll keep saying that,

840
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 2: but damn they're good. Good victory though. But this tweet

841
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: from Royce Young I wanted to throw at you, Lely.

842
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: We were talking about Harden's possibility of winning MVP. I

843
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: think we may all agree that Jokich is the front

844
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: runner right now. Denver may be putting together some wins

845
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 2: here unbelievab numbers from him in the seasons he's had,

846
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: but Royce Young Sys. Since everyone is throwing out MVP

847
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: candidates with the race being so suddenly wide open, I

848
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 2: would like to add Chris Paul to the conversation. His

849
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: stats don't tell the story of his value. The Sun's

850
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: record does, though, Lee, what do you say to Royce

851
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 2: Young talk to him?

852
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: I would say Royce Young is right in his assumption

853
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 4: that he should be in there. He won't win it.

854
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: Chris Paul will not win the MVP. But if you

855
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 4: look at what the improvement the Sons have made to

856
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: this point, and if they continue out for the rest

857
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 4: of the season, then he should be in the conversation

858
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 4: because I think he's been incredible for them, and it

859
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 4: isn't because of the numbers. It's because of that leadership

860
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 4: that he brings, that ability to be steady and do

861
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 4: little things that don't always show up in the box

862
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 4: or I think last night nine points and eight assists

863
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: is all. He had took seven shots, but I thought

864
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 4: he was incredibly dominant in that game as well. He

865
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 4: just is such a consistent, reliable player who impacts winning

866
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: without necessarily having to go out and play, you know,

867
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 4: like what James Harden did last night. He doesn't have

868
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 4: to put up those sort of numbers because Chris Paul's

869
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 4: never really been a guy who's scored a ton. He's

870
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 4: been more a guy who sets up his opponent. He

871
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 4: sets up his opponent, sets up his teammates, gets other

872
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 4: guys involved. I mean, you go back to go someone

873
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 4: like David West. For example, David West was a two

874
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 4: time All Star, I think largely because he played with

875
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 4: Chris Paul, and Chris Paul really was able to bring

876
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: out so much in him. And if the Suns were

877
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 4: to finish with the first or second best record in

878
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 4: the West or in the NBA, then Chris Paul I

879
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: mean that narrative, that storyline is like, oh, he's going

880
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 4: to deserve so much consideration, but people are gonna probably

881
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 4: look at his numbers and the box score and just say, well, man,

882
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 4: this guy could average like fifteen and eight for the season.

883
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 4: You know, he just he sort of doesn't deserve MVP

884
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 4: from that standpoint, because you're gonna have Yarna's probably putting up,

885
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 4: you know, almost a triple double. You know, perhaps Jokich

886
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 4: two Embad's been incredible for when he comes back, so

887
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 4: he won't win at Chris Paul. But if you, if

888
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 4: you really love the game and watch the game closely,

889
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 4: you think he's certainly someone who should get serious consideration.

890
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 4: He probably won't finish in the top oh well, he

891
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: won't finish in the top five, probably won't even finish

892
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 4: in the top ten, but finish top ten.

893
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 2: I don think he could. Yeah, I mean he could,

894
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: he could.

895
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 4: I mean, who knows how big is tas MVP of

896
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 4: the Suns.

897
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: Probably ain't there.

898
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I think he could, say he I

899
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: think he is. Again Booker gonna have better numbers DeAndre

900
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 4: eight and one of his better games last night. Offensively,

901
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 4: I thought he was actually fantastic. But in terms of

902
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: who's the best player on that team, who's the most

903
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: impactful player, it's still Chris Paul for now, which is

904
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: not great for the Suns. We want to see we

905
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 4: want it to be clear, Devin Booka. I don't think

906
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 4: it's clear right now because Chris Paul is just he's

907
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 4: just the monster out there. So we'll see.

908
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: Great tweet.

909
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 4: I think it's weird tweet.

910
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 2: Wow, great tweet.

911
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: Rice Young, Yeah that's not tweeted the not yet.

912
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: But actually Rice Young had an even funnier Instagram photo

913
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 2: the other day. Did you see his kid at a

914
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: school taking his school pictures? Little boy? Oh my god,

915
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: it's such a meme. It's unbelievable, this little guy holding

916
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: the apple like looking so unamused. Anyway, anything you want

917
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: to speak on this TK Royce's tweet, Chris Paul, the Sons,

918
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: wherever you want to go.

919
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 3: If Royce Young said that on this podcast, we would

920
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 3: hit him with a whole.

921
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: Look.

922
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: I know Chris Paul is no longer on the Oklahoma

923
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 3: City Thunder, but that is why Royce Young has him

924
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 3: in the MVP conversation. Rice Young voted for Westbrook and

925
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 3: MVP in twenty sixteen when he had the numbers and

926
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 3: not the record.

927
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 2: To know it for me, Dog, not every player.

928
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: Has to be considered for MVP because we have real

929
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: MVP candidates out there. If you're making a case for

930
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 3: a guy who doesn't have numbers but does have impact,

931
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: clearly the case is for Rudy Gobert. He would be

932
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: the one that you would say could be in the

933
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: MVP conversation despite not having numbers. He's the backbone of

934
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 3: the Jazz's defense. His role game is really beneficial to

935
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz's offense as well. If you

936
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 3: want to make a case for saying that the record

937
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: is important, then it's gotta be Yannis, I think because

938
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 3: he does have the MVP numbers. To me, Chris Paul

939
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 3: has been incredible, the Suns have been great, and if

940
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 3: they finish first or second in the Western Conference, I

941
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 3: think you're right, Skeets, he's at least a top ten

942
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 3: MVP candidate. That being said, he's not really an MVP candidate.

943
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, good win from the Suns, but he's not

944
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: sitting at the table. Rice, No, no, no, O're closing reservations. Yeah,

945
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: it's a hot table. Everybody's trying to make reservations right now.

946
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: So this guy's sitting at the head of the table,

947
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 2: all right. Jokic, his twelfth triple double, leads the Nuggets

948
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: past the Magic one ten ninety nine. Then we had

949
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: Julius Randall scoring thirty seven and three quarters as the

950
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: Nicks crush the Wizards one thirty one, one thirteen. Brandon

951
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 2: ingram Zion Williamson, they paced the Pelicans to a blowout

952
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 2: win over the Lakers, and then Tobias Harris Toby coming

953
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: up big as the Lakers held off the Warriors. Uh,

954
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: those are the four other games. Tray any one of

955
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 2: those in particular jump out of you.

956
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about the big boy, Nicola jokicic seizing

957
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: the opportunity to make his MVP case. We know Lebron's out,

958
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: we know Joel Embiid is out, and now is the

959
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 3: time for Jokic to really make his case. Last night

960
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 3: more of the same, twenty eight, fifteen to ten, an.

961
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: Easy triple double.

962
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 3: He's averaging twenty eight points, twelve rebounds, nine assists since

963
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: the All Star Break. He's scored at least twenty six

964
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 3: in every single one of those games, except for a

965
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: twelve point triple double in a blowout over the Hornets.

966
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: Most importantly, the Nuggets have won five of seven. That

967
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 3: is the only thing that has been limiting Nikola Jokic's

968
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 3: MVP case is that the Nuggets have climb very high

969
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 3: in the standings in the Western Conference.

970
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 2: That is changing right now.

971
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 3: The guy has been incredible since the start of the season,

972
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 3: and he just gets better and better and better. So yeah,

973
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 3: for me, Jokic is the front runner right now, and

974
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 3: I'm excited to enjoy his front runner status for what

975
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 3: three or four weeks.

976
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 2: Because that's when we seem to move on to the

977
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 2: next guy. Maybe it'll be honest, I don't know.

978
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 3: We got a great race going on right now, and

979
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 3: that's why the table is getting so big.

980
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: What do you think, Lee? People are saying the table

981
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 2: consists of I like this tweet from a Jay again

982
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 2: making this show. Throw it up here. The table consists

983
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 2: of embiid Yokich, Lebron, Dame, Harden, and Giannis. Those are

984
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 2: the six people at our table for the MVP. Agree

985
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 2: or disagree?

986
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 4: Yes, I think so. We've had Jimmy Butler sort of

987
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 4: turn up to the rest.

988
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 2: Now he's at the bar.

989
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Kevin Durant before he got injured.

990
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: Do we stop seeing Kevin Durant for MVP. I'm just saying.

991
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 4: I'm saying, who was there?

992
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 2: Was there? I know, I know he had an early dinner.

993
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: He was there, he was got five block.

994
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, if Luca can keep the MAVs hot, he's he's there. Okay,

995
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 4: that's an interesting one, but but this is great. This

996
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 4: is great because each player right now, who I'm looking at,

997
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 4: who you just had in that tweet there has a

998
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 4: strong case, and they all need a few little things

999
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 4: to go their way, and I think when it does

1000
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 4: come to MVP, I think winning does have a big

1001
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 4: impact on it. So if one of those teams falls

1002
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 4: off a little bit. In Philadelphia have done very well

1003
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 4: since Embad's gone out, which is great because if the Nets,

1004
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 4: do you know, open up a two or three game

1005
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: lead over the Sixers, then I think that does just

1006
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 4: give James Harden his case, make it makes that a

1007
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 4: little bit stronger.

1008
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 2: So it's a great race.

1009
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 4: We haven't had this really for years, have we like

1010
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 4: this many people with legit candidacy because Janna's pretty much

1011
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 4: last two seasons has been in control. Last year, yeah, yeah,

1012
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 4: you know, when Westbrook had that thirty point triple double,

1013
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 4: it was kind of like you can't not give it

1014
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 4: to a guy who'd done that. You know, Harden did

1015
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 4: win his and of course Steph Curry before that had

1016
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 4: a couple great season. So we haven't had it like

1017
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 4: this where it's like any one of those four or

1018
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 4: five guys really could win it and it's going to

1019
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 4: come down to a couple of little factors at the end.

1020
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 4: And you know, someone like the Blazers, they're probably not

1021
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 4: going to finish in the top four. That might hurt Dame,

1022
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 4: you know, Yokich. If the Nuggets don't finish in the

1023
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 4: top three as well, maybe that affects him, you know.

1024
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: And if the Sixers finished number one and Embiid comes back,

1025
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 4: then I think it's going to be very hard to

1026
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 4: keep Joil and beat off that ballot. So there's a

1027
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 4: lot of storyline. This is what we want, a little

1028
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 4: bit of intrigue, a little bit of excitement. We want

1029
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 4: to get to the end and everyone be like I've

1030
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 4: got a different guy and this is why, and that

1031
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 4: that'd be fun.

1032
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: I got a game and this is why.

1033
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 4: Well, you know, like Yannas for example, because we all

1034
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 4: came in and I'll say with a bias like you're

1035
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 4: not winning it, yes, no matter what you do. And

1036
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 4: he's kind of been in the last you know, three

1037
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 4: or four weeks, like you know what, maybe I will

1038
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 4: win three in a row. Maybe I will. And he's

1039
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 4: put together a very very strong case as the Bucks

1040
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 4: have looked better as well. So there's some great stuff

1041
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 4: out there, great stuff.

1042
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you got the stream tumers and where's

1043
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonards? I'm saying where Steph Curry. Somebody was saying

1044
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: Lucas in the booster seat, which I really like. Yeah, No,

1045
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't think they're in the ultimately at the table,

1046
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: those guys that you're throwing out there. Yeah, does Utah

1047
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: get anybody is Like Trey made the case for go

1048
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: Bear if you're gonna go not on numbers, but impact,

1049
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: that's fair enough. We will see. I got a hot take.

1050
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 2: Just hit me. Yo Kitsch's MVP. You know, win Actually

1051
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: all depends on like Jamal Murray and Michael Porter right

1052
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: in a way, like they have to ball out to

1053
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: help him. He's he is a lock every night for

1054
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 2: basically thirty, you know, twelve and ten. I mean, this

1055
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: is what he does in his sleep. Now everything goes

1056
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: through him. But he needs these contributions from his other

1057
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,959
Speaker 2: star players in Jamal Murray and then MPJ a little

1058
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: bit like those guys are ultimately going to decide whether

1059
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: or their teammate Yo get twins that VP. So step

1060
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: your game up, Jamal, step your game up, Michael, and

1061
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: I think you know they get the victories. I think

1062
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: he does win it, especially with the injuries to Embid

1063
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: and Lebron and stuff like that. I think I think

1064
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: it's his for the taking, and I believe Vegas agrees

1065
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 2: with that. I think he's quite the favorite now after

1066
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 2: these injuries to some of the guys.

1067
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 3: And Basketball Reference has his MVP probability on their track

1068
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 3: or he's at forty six point four percent. You know,

1069
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 3: basically what sixteen times four is sixty four, So he's

1070
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 3: like two and a half times higher than Joel E

1071
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: Andbiid's percentages. Who we know is out with injury right now.

1072
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: You're right, Skeets. The numbers, no doubt about it, make

1073
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 3: a perfect case for Yokich. He may end up leading

1074
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 3: the league in whoa boys, I'm not sure if that's.

1075
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: All he's getting close.

1076
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, it's about the w's at some point.

1077
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to tweet of the night.

1078
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: Tweet of the night.

1079
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: Wow.

1080
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, So this one was going around yesterday a little bit.

1081
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure you go. I saw it. Bleach to report

1082
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 4: with the ones who tweeted it out of in via Instagram.

1083
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 4: Josh Lopez and Brian Scalabrini was in a gym and

1084
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 4: some high school kid basically said, hey, that's Brian Scalabrini.

1085
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 4: He was, you know, a deep rotation player in the NBA.

1086
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 4: He hasn't played for nine seasons. I reckon I could

1087
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 4: take him scale. We've seen him do this before too,

1088
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 4: take on regular dudes and just sort of show them

1089
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 4: how big the difference is between NBA players and regular

1090
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 4: Joe's now this high school. You know, he looks like

1091
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 4: Scalabrini six', nine and you, know, yeah, yeah the scale

1092
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 4: was like two forty in his playing. Days he's probably you,

1093
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 4: know a little bit heavier than that right.

1094
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 2: Now three.

1095
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 4: Times it's, hilarious But scale anyway goes on to beat

1096
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: this kid eleven zero for a pair of, shoes and you,

1097
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 4: know it is funny because when we you, know when

1098
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 4: you watch THE nba and you look at some of

1099
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 4: those guys who were just journeymen and bench, players you,

1100
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 4: think you, know how does that guy make in THE.

1101
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: Nba but the truth, is you, know the gap Between

1102
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 4: Brian scalabrini And Michael jordan is close than any of

1103
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 4: us to.

1104
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 2: Right you, know that's a true, points a good.

1105
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 4: Point Brian scalabrini at one point in his. Life and,

1106
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 4: look you, know we we sort of make fun Of

1107
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 4: Brian's scalabrini because he's the white man and the red

1108
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 4: hair and. That but he stayed in THE nba for eleven.

1109
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 4: Seasons you know that is that in itself is remarkable

1110
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 4: to it sort of accept just being a bench guy

1111
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 4: and coming out there and playing basically mop up minutes

1112
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 4: forry entire. Career he had twenty nine points in one.

1113
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 4: Game that was his career. HIGH i look that when

1114
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 4: he was with The New Jersey nets. There but it's

1115
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 4: still great when you just see that when a guy

1116
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 4: just says, like all, Right i'm just gonna and he

1117
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 4: was only going you can see there at like half

1118
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 4: speed as. WELL i, mean if he really wanted to

1119
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 4: cook this guy.

1120
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,040

Speaker 2: WHAT i. Thought i'm, like my, God like you see

1126
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: the comparison to just like an average average, player he

1127
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: does look like an elite athlete because he is compared

1128
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: to anybody else but THE nba he's sort of like

1129
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: at the bottom tier against all these Other but it.

Speaker 4: Achieved we played the best PLAYER i ever played. With

1209
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 4: it was in high school and he dragged us to

1210
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 4: the state. Championships we finished runner, up and our offense

1211
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 4: was basically just, like, okay any four other guys on the,

1212
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 4: court just throw the ball To. Aaron aaron Tra. Hairy

1213
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 4: was he actually Captain australia under twenty? Threes he went.

1214
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 4: On he went on to play like a decent, level

1215
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 4: but still nowhere near like AN nba. Player in, fact

1216
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 4: he hit a game winner Against Mano Genobili's argentina In

1217
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:16,400

00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 4: Cool, yeah, man who had twenty points in that. Game

1220
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 4: he was. Great but the point being, that, like, yeah

1221
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 4: this one guy was so good he dragged our whole

1222
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 4: team to the straight state. Championships and even he didn't

1223
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,959
Speaker 4: go on and sniffed no, no but you, know played

1224
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 4: For australia and played in The Australian league and stuff like,

1225
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 4: that and was a good player at that. Level but

1226
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 4: still that's a whole different level to making THE nba

1227

Speaker 3: like he's blowing by this, guy but he's slipping around.

1281
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 3: There he's not able to get quite as much body.

1285
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,600

Speaker 4: when someone's, videoing it's like the slowest thing. Ever these

1288

Speaker 2: That you, know.

1292
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,880

Speaker 2: It past the.

1294

Speaker 2: us fans or whoever like think they could like take these.

1303
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,080
