21
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: Today, It's been hilarious. It's been it's been something that

22
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: was that we I feel like we knew this was

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I'm a big shock that happened so early

24
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: in the season, right, just because right three and eight,

25
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: they're like, you get the boot out of there. But listen, bro,

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you when I saw that that that

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: little PR moment did y'all see the moment where Patrick Dumont,

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: who is you know, a co owner of the mass

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: We had that moment where he invited a fan who

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: flicked them off and the season opener, and he wanted

31
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: to speak with him during the sidelines of the game,

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: and he had a talk with the kid and he

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: talked about how how you know, you try to do

34
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: things for the betterment of the team, but sometimes you

35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: stumble here and there. So he had this kid who

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: flipped them off at the season open. I'm not saying

37
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: the kids in on it, but I do feel like

38
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: the ownership or the suits are like, Yo, this is

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: a good PR moment that we can flip with this kid,

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: have them there and have him be the the mouthpiece

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: that puts it out there that we feel like we

42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: fucked up with Luca, right. And then it's not surprising

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: to me that a few days after this fucking Nico

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: gets the boot.

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Right.

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: My whole thing is this, bro. I will always blame

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: ownership over Nico because, for one, there's still a part

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: of me that feels like this is a conspiracy where

49
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: owners ownership pushed for this and Nico was the GM

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: who made it happen. Right, And even if that's not

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: the case, the GM comes up to you and says, hey,

52
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about trading Luca h You fired that motherfucker

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: right there, probably like, what the fuck are you talking

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 2: about this? Right?

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: The reporting right or wrong? The reporting is that it

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: was his idea that Rob Lowe snuck into his head,

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: and that there was not enough basketball IQ among ownership

58
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: to understand how egregious an idea was made brought to

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: a group at the time, you know, coming up transitioning

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: out of Mark Cuban. I'm not discounting the conspiracy theory.

61
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm just stating for the record, that's what the reporting

62
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: thus far. I don't think anybody's that dumb, but maybe

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: that's not, you know what I'm saying, like when there's

64
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: people that are stupid, so maybe I'm wrong.

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: And there's also this the ownership group Mariam Addelson, who

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: is the the mother in law of Patrick Dumont, who's

67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: kind of the front face and owner of this What

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: a fucking what a way to marry up, You marry

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: up into fucking NBA ownership. But anyway, she her and

70
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: her husband are the owner of her deceased husband are

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: the owner of the Sands Group in Vegas, a group

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: that owned casinos, right, That's how they made their money.

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: They owned the Sands and the motherfucking Palagio and they

74
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: sold those. And there's a part of me that feels

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: like they're like, Yo, we probably up because there's so

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: much money in this gambling ship with sports now, and

77
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: we sold our stakes in Vegas. If we can kind

78
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: of get this city to get detached to this squad

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: and we can relocate them to Vegas and we can

80
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: get back in that in those rooms and possibly, you know,

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: maybe build a casino that kind of accompanies, you know,

82
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: this new new squad and get and get some more

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: of that casino money. That's always good money. I feel

84
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: like that's in play here too, bro, the whole Vegas connection.

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: In Vegas needing a team, and then you know, you

86
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: can you have ownership who you have ownership? Who owned

87
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: fucking casinos in Vegas, who wants to get who probably

88
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: wants to get back into that market, and they sell

89
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: their franchise guy to save money and hopefully kind of

90
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: you know, get that that franchise on the on on

91
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: the fringe of bit to where you know you can

92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: just uproot this team and take on Vegas. You won't

93
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: get that much push back. I don't know, bro, Like,

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: like I said, start cutting hair, Tyler. Know what I'm saying. Listen, bro,

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: where you become a bar with my boy?

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Listen
