We just had 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.520 a bus, so they took the bus off. 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.640 Man, And now it's a table saw. 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:22.119 It looks like it looks like a place where you go, 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.720 you know, you grow flowers and the grassy knowle. And 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:27.560 you know what, we're gonna sit in the grassy know 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.480 and read books. We'll get it. We'll get into it. 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:35.840 An man, it's now this I don't know. I don't 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.519 know how I feel about. Yeah. Yeah, it's like this 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.320 is this is what I think they're doing now here. 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.280 I heard your take yesterday. It was that was solid, 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.479 you know, like this is business. Yeah, it is a 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.200 business movie. They're shaving but like you know, the found 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.479 they keeping the foundation hopefully. No man, listen when you 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:57.760 give away for Zingers. Yeah, and Drew Holliday, who is 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.240 the quiet leader of the locker. You gotta have a 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.240 jew Holiday. If you go back and look at the 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.880 jew Holiday play in Indiana, he ripped the balls so 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.319 they got the a one who's gonna do that for them? 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.480 I got like that? Why does he he's in that mold. Bro. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.080 I don't like where we're going. Bro. Every time I 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.160 look up, everything's getting shifted traded over here. Now they 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.120 got Jay Brown and they're white up there like this. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.960 Ain't they playing the long ball? But look it's new 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.120 ownership too, y'all got it? 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.399 The new owners come in, Yes, five and forty million, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:30.479 save money, and then. 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.760 They trade these two guys and then they get under 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.560 the threshold and at two hundred and eighty million, So 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.120 they saved over two hundred million dollars just. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.440 Doing these So what are we doing? And we're trying 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.160 to win or were trying to save money? I mean, well, 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.759 they figured like, look next year, they they can't win, 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.000 so they're like, all right, we kind of positioned ourselves 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.640 to retool the following year. I think that's what it is, 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:53.000 because you're still gonna have your guys in their prime. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.360 So listen to me. This is the new wave of business. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.840 So look at how teams. This is the new wave 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.800 of business. This is tech boys. These are money boys 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.800 coming into this sector for sure, playing money boys and 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.760 playing you feel what I'm saying. So when I watch this, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.480 ain't none of this about winning? And if so it's 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.320 winning within the confines of this box in which we 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.519 make or lose money. Like that's that's what this is. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:20.560 This is all surrounded by a business versus is being 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.000 portrayed something else for winning. It ain't got none of 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.240 that on here. But this is what happens when owners 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.519 That's what I'm saying. These are not traditional owners with 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.600 grosspec was embedded the owner before him, they had you know, 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.560 they was up, they set up before the league. Like 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.680 this is what the league was at the same energy 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.280 the league was the NBA teams that the owners was 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.959 family business. There was homegrown you know what I'm saying. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.840 Now it's going into like business business a lot of 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.280 hockey families. Yeah, it was like co ownerships and NBA 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.400 hockey teams. Yeah, that's why a lot of NBA and 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.239 hockey teams share an arena. A lot of people don't 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:05.200 know that the hockey actually exceeds and trump's the basketball schedule. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.760 If you go back in history when they had hockey 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.120 first come out, and they don't talk about their history 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.400 because they stole it. Y'all know what I'm talking about, right, 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.720 tell your history anyway, when they go to tell that, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.160 they couldn't they had They needed something to fill in 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.080 the schedule. So a group of I think fifteen owners 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.079 got together and they started looking for options to being 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.280 able to fill in the Seatson Basketball was one of them, 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.760 and they had this whole plan of being able to 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.560 take the ABA later on excuse me early NBA, and 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.880 then merge it with a more cracking league called the 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.600 ABA and merge them and then that's when the league 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.720 really took off. But before they did that, they set 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.280 up TV deals, radio deals, all them deals that were 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.440 set up, all the stadium deals, all that, All that 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.360 was set up before they actually did all that merging 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.280 the ship. That's crazy, bro man. We should do a 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:57.440 history channel on the NBA. Brot. Let's get into it. Man, 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:58.839 y'all know what it is in truth. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:10.320 Let's get it baby, Certata faster, certufaster, certa faster, faster, 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:16.400 start faster, certain faster, certain faster, certain faster, certain faster. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:24.680 Certain it's a green summer. Yeah, we built differently. You 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.400 ain't watching the games. I don't watching again. Come outside, 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:33.520 we're alive. That's when you stopping back that we want. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.600 So take it with that trade. But I want to 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:38.800 talk about the Drew Holiday one. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.360 First, they got Anthony Simon's back as a player that 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.600 we've discussed on the show is liking. What do you 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.400 think about just Simons? I mean, I mean they traded 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.800 for him. Sorry, they traded for him and now and 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:50.760 now he's on their. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.240 Team over the. 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.760 Back from where after the last. 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.760 Two seasons, he's he's twenty and five, he makes three 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.240 three pointers a game. He's one of the better, better 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.800 scores of young guys. What do we think about him 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:04.760 being added to the Celtics? 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.680 You liking riding to the Celtics? You think you can? 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.200 You think he can? I don't know if I would 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:11.919 have given up Drew Holiday for. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:14.200 School. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.960 See see people gonna look at this trade like that 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.640 for younger Yeah, but they're gonna say, oh, well he 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.760 averaged twenty he bring on more scoring. But you got 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.840 to understand when you when you when you got a 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.960 certain type of DNA and in a locker room franchise. First, 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.080 it's it's kind of similar to this. Look at what 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:39.040 Milwaukee the Dame and Drew. They got the scoring and 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.120 they took Drew out, but it didn't effect. The effect 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:44.400 wasn't the same. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.480 You know what I'm saying, you're talking about like more 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:47.760 intangible type stuff. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.400 About like out of eye, it looks like you gave 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.440 up scoring for defense, but you don't see all the 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.760 small intangible things that jew Holiday brings created winning. So 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.360 it made it made the jew Holiday Dame Lil like, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.200 oh ship, like he missed all this other ship that 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.600 he did. You know what I'm saying. Total what I'm saying, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.080 I understand what I'm saying impact the game. Yeah, So 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.480 people on the outside looking like, oh, that's a good one, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.560 that's a good Oh, he's average Twain scoring punch, but 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.120 they don't understand like the little intangibles the locker room, 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.160 the whole DNA at a team and the shifts a 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.159 little bit. You know, when somebody on the outside comes 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.400 to your club and think they can do the same 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.080 things they did over there over here. That ain't hot 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.520 as work, right, you know, that ain't the impact we 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.000 need over here. But you know for a small patchwork, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.880 you know, to get through it with everybody saying it's 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.520 a gap year, which probably is because Tatum probably gonna 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.640 be out all year. I mean, it's cool for the 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.800 one year and then you shed costs and everything you 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.160 get an extra scoring punch. Yeah, that you that you're 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.280 missing from Tatum to help Brown take some pressure off 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.000 of him. But then now we Boston has to start 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.360 doing I believe, like moving forward, they got to start 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.720 doing a better job at developing that young talent. They 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.080 lit too many, like young talents slipped through the cracks. 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.400 They're like kind of like trade them. Like you know, 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:09.680 you had uh Lee Smith down there on the end 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.600 of the bench. You know, look what he turned out 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.480 to beef. You had uh Man, what's my guy down 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:20.320 there in Portland? I think he gonna be good. Yeah, Yeah, 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:25.880 he's Ronald. He was in the Celtist camp the year. Yeah. 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.840 They but they you know, now too many. You need them, 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.160 tom bread on it when you need them now, you know, 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.480 it's like, damn they're gone. And think about this, two 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.640 p If you got ten eleven things that you got 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.640 in the oven cooking and then you got them tatums, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.480 you gotta pop them right off, you know what I'm saying. 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.240 The big muffy, you know what I'm saying. But you 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.040 got the muffis in there, just left in there, just 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.080 overflowing popping, you know what I'm saying. It's kind of like, bro, 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.960 if you got a oven a fifteen, you probably gonna, 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.440 you know, keep out four five, you know, but the 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.440 rest of them you there in the bread basket, some 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.480 of them on. You know. It's kind of like that, 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.920 bro Nick he did. Look another thing I think that's 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.440 going on in the league too, that we gotta pay 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.320 attention to. We gotta pay attention to how the league 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.680 moves when the winner of it all actually wins it. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.880 I can remember when Denver won it, and after that 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:22.440 everybody was putting pressure on Joel and b called Anthony Towns. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.560 Can they be like this, can you play through your 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.520 big can he and I kept hearing like, okay, for 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.240 you to win, you gotta have a big like this 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.319 that looks like Joker who can pass it? When when 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.400 Yannis won it a couple of years before Denver won it, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:40.240 it was so now I'm seeing everybody starting to say, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.280 I need instead of three four players, that's making three 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.640 four hunting man, I need eleven, I need ten. And 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.720 then I got a develop that's the new wave of business. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.199 So when I watched the Boston shit, I would see 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.319 him like hmm. Then I'm just watching everybody take key 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.920 pieces moving to get three four options of some younger 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.520 talent that I can develop some you know what I'm saying. 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.520 So it feels like the sam Pressy structure is activated. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.880 Everybody's copying it. Everybody's gonna copy that. But the thing 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.880 they don't understand is it takes you building. You gotta 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.600 like you gotta build it. It's that vision you gotta draft. Well, 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.720 you know what I'm saying, you gotta have Like Celtics 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.120 still got the infrastructure, So now it's about what's the 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:29.000 other key pieces is they gonna pick up or draft 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.880 or trade for. And when you look at okay C's foundation, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.920 the semens, the bricks, they didn't build that thing a 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:48.320 gonna so man, that thing is solid. It's like they 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.880 ain't going nowhere. This ain't going nowhere. They put the 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.520 still in there. Think about it. They got two all 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.839 stars on their rookie deal. Now Shaden wasn't an All star, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.840 but gonna be an all star shape I mean, check check, 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.000 gonna be an All star. Like he liked the Scottie 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:08.880 Pippen for them. He just do a little bit of 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.800 everything for them, like straight up heat the fin he rebound, 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.280 He liked the intangibles, but you know he can do more, 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.560 but he understand this role. He could be a twenty 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.199 ten guy. You know that he could be a twenty 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.080 ten guy on that team. Probably not on that team, 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.640 but I'm saying, like what he average this year, he 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.520 probably averaged like seventeen. If you didn't have Jay Dub 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.280 wasn't there, Chat will be a twenty two and ten 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.199 twelve player. Fifteen and eight, right, fifteen and eight, that's all. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:42.880 That's the third option. He even fifteen and eight. That's man. 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.040 Listen right now. You gotta develop the young boys over 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:46.600 there now. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.280 He Walsh is gonna get. 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.439 Wash has gotta play, he gotta get. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.560 Shireman is another guy that will probably. 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.800 Get some more run this year, the drafted from last year. Shireman, Yes, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.959 the kid that could shoot it. Shooter, yes, yeah, the shooter. Yeah. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.559 And then he nice, he's nice. 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.320 The Celtics drafted guy. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.679 They got some nice enough to put him in there 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.400 and let him go and to replace what you get. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.880 Right now, you got to develop them, like them to 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:15.400 Wash and uh, what's his name, Scharman. You gotta develop 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.320 them because they can be He could be like Dalton 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.959 connect like straight up, he could be like Dalcon. He 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.480 got similar games to Dawncon. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.439 With their death, they're gonna have to be able to 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:25.480 play the kid. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.040 On their bench. White kid, he was winging there. He 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.360 got a similar game to Dalton Connect, Connect like he nice, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.920 don't connect? Nice? Connect nice? But he goes to the 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.440 I think everybody locked into his his perimeter. Man, don't connect, 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.360 put them off on the floor and put on your head. 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.240 And this kid he ain't that. But you know what 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.079 I'm saying. What I'm saying, don't think he a better 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.839 scorer than Dault Connect. I wouldn't say that, but you 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.640 think he got he got all that, He got all 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.920 that in college he was the lead. What are you doing? 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.360 The lead didn't get a chance to play cool. What 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.800 I'm saying, you can't even compare that to they had 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.920 a chance. They couldn't develop them. You know they got 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:02.640 the best. I'm trying to tell you, Pete, if your 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.880 team too d you know what I'm saying, some of 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.400 the pieces going to do that, and then you see 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.360 Danny Ah came back and grabbed them. So you know 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:10.120 they have value. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.680 And Celtics did the twenty eighth pick in the first 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.320 round Wednesday's draft. They got a guy named Hugo Gonzalez 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.080 from Real Madrid. Some draft experts saying that was one 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.920 of the biggest steals in the first round. So a 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.800 guy that played pro overseas is coming to the Celtic. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.559 You know what I would start valuing if I was 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:30.040 a GM. Now, you know, everybody always get enamored with 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.400 the young talent, the long arm, super athleticism and potential 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:38.600 of something like if I'm a veteran team, I'm looking 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.840 for guys like that can come in right away and play. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:44.719 So you got to think about I'm thinking about the 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.520 eighties and nineties, Uh, before you came out ticket, like 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.200 when like guys was coming in ready to play because 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.679 they was juniors. I'm looking at juniors and seniors. Now 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:55.760 you know what I'm saying. These guys was ready to 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.559 come in and give you like a fifteen piece. No, 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.520 it was ready to come in and be your three Yeah, 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.000 big dog. Right. That's well, I'm gonna start looking at 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.480 guys that's been in college for three four years that's 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.959 already developed, strong, and I know what they give me. Like, Okay, 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.720 I know he can he's three and d right here. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.559 I know he could come in right now. Next year, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.160 I'm gonna start looking at those pieces because those guys 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.760 get overlooked. So he's telling like college, So you so 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.920 you want more, prepare better players. Now you don't want 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.120 to develop. If you developed, you won't. I'm gonna put 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:27.880 you all on the other and then y'all development. Then 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.280 I'm going that's what you want, right bro? You sell 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.560 like college. College don't want the freshman no more. They 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.920 don't want the freshman or the sophomore. Yeah, he get 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.079 you in here, yeah, now give me this, give me this, 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.000 Give me this jew Co player right here, who being 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.640 in jew Co ain't shaved his head here and here 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.839 and the thick he's gonna play dh he ready on 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.040 the wage. I ain't got it, he ain't sensitive. I'm 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.959 gonna start looking more. I'm gonna start putting value on 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.040 that because those guys don't get value them. Guys can 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.840 come in there right away and play a role, play 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.240 a role because I'm not looking for like everybody always 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.320 looking for the next star. When you are, he got 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.240 the stars. Those out there, it's a million of them. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.800 Get the finished product in the oven just popped out, 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.600 like it's all about what you're looking for like I'm 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.880 looking for he can't shoot, but he let the nation 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.080 and rebounds.

That always translates. You know 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.280 what I'm saying, defense and rebound and college translates to 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.280 the leader. You're building your team like like a like 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:32.400 almost like a like what we call the superheroes e Avengers. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.400 That's say, young ship. What's the ship? We talk about 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.840 the uh the Superfriend Justice Leaguer here, the super the 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:48.280 Justice League certain specific Yeah, I need rebound, come on, 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.000 get in here, finish, come on here shooting, come up. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.680 Got established stars. I'm not looking like for the next 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.840 stars because it gets too repetitive because then they don't develop. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.400 Like when you look over there, like Houston about this. 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.760 You had Jane and Green, Jabari Junior, you had Amen Thompson. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.080 You're trying to get the next star over there, like 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.280 let me all right now that I already established that, 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:09.160 all right? 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:09.480 You know what? 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.000 Yeah, they still they kept drafted and then you got 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.400 rid of Green now and then now you're trying to 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.080 figure out Jabari Junior. Like you know, what I'm saying 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:19.600 instead of like, oh, I need to I have to 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.760 feel this. I got these guys, now, let me feel 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.800 this need like and then when they don't pan out, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:27.920 roll over to the next year. So I'm gonna go 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.440 and find some. I'm gonna focus late in the draft, 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.480 like in the twenties, in the second round. Now with 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:37.520 one hundred and fifty motherfuckers putting their name in, you 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.240 got to go. I'm got this kid over here in Australia. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.640 He got a forty inch vern. Yeah, but he don't catch. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.640 He can't catch. But he's been hell year. He can't 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.800 catch the ball. Twenty six he tripped over, twenty six 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:50.880 he tied shoot. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.840 Peyton Pitcher is a guy that played four years in 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.520 college and came to the Celtics and played right away. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.800 That's like, come on, man, it's like God. But that's 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.200 what I'm obominal snowman or some ship. Nah, that ain't 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.800 rare because think about it, you always on there. You 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.360 can't that's because I'm not looking. So look at whoever 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.560 led the nation and scoring. Hey, listen, I'm not looking. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.960 If you let him, he will go out of boring 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.360 on you here, get over here, start just mashing the 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.560 gash Man. You gotta put some speed bumpster hit somewhere 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:27.720 to whoa, whoa, whoa. But that'll be my focus, you know, 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.600 I'll be like what I'm saying, p It ain't a 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.280 lot of those out there. It ain't a lot of pieces. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.080 Right now. You can go and get four year maturity. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.400 You guess where you can get them from free agency. 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.600 Free agency is the new four year, three year player. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.160 Everybody either going G league coming out right, Okay, two 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.600 years one year right then, I'm watching n I l 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.680 fuck all that up.

So man, I'm watching the whole 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.720 trajectory of all of this changing. I'm still asking you, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.800 at one point, does college present an option that I 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.200 can resign my players? That's gonna make tallers better? You 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.399 want to make college better? Resign your players, keep them 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:13.240 in the program that's coming trades in college. That's gonna 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.439 wreck college. If you let me come out the portal 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.040 and then I ain't gonna play in bowl games, and 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.080 I got all this freedom to move and ship, I 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.200 should be as a coach allowed to if you want 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:25.800 to know, you can't go to the portal. I gotta 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.280 seek out a trade. Like, nah, that's happening. That's gonna 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:37.040 happened that bro.

How would you trade somebody in college? 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.240 How do because how do guys be like, I don't 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.720 want to play in the middle all but but you 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.760 can leave me at the end of the day and okay, cool, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.679 So now I'm nothing.

Back 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.200 on the video games. Do that for college sports. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.960 Speaking of trades, that happened last week, but a big 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.200 trade that we had talked about for months, Kevin Durant 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:16.760 goes to the Rockets trading. 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.400 What's your thoughts on Dylan Brooks and a pick? Yeah, 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:20.440 what are the thoughts thought? 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.920 Dangerous? You shot that too? You shot the spots I 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.560 was starting to think you're part of the whole, Adam Silver. 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:32.440 So look now you just watching the games, you're just 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.359 looking for love. Four months ago you found it. Now 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.680 you're back in the NBA room drinking caffeine again. 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.680 Right, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm saying right right, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.760 right back on caffeine. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:53.040 I know that Mann, right, I mean, like, no, but 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.080 what's your thoughts on Katie? You shot that ship early. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:00.000 I think it's a good fit. You know what I'm saying, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:05.680 Like the best part about it is like em over there, 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.720 like him under em, because this is the best coach 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.480 he didn't play for since Steve Kirk. Think about even 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.480 though it didn't work out in Phoenix and Brooklyn, look 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.320 who he played with. He played with. It was with 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.320 Steve Nash, who was like a young coach who was 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.160 still learning that Buddha heiser just because what wasn't really 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.440 a good fit for him. And so now he gets 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.560 somebody who kind of like more of a firm leader, 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.239 who you know, gonna hold him accountable a little bit 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.720 and ain't one deep teams he was on on those 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.639 teams was too front heavy. Yeah, I mean it was 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.240 just him in like four and a bunch of you 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.440 know what I'm saying, he didn't nobody always be talking 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.680 about Katie. They don't. He ain't a leader and all this, 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.399 Like he is a leader, bro. Like, if I'm a 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:55.000 young dude and Kd's in my practice, I'm watching Kd's 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.520 work ethic, I can leave by example. He's one of 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.920 the like he puts it in and then gets the 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:05.200 work in. So if I'm amen, I'm coming up working 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.240 out with Kd'm he gonna leave by example, he getting 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.719 in there early, late, whatever, getting shots up, And I'm 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.360 from all them young dudes on the bench of Houston, 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.800 he gonna inspire that they gonna have to raise they level. 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:18.480 And I could see that happening with him there. The 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.439
