So yeah, let's just jump 16 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: right into It's just TK and I here to talk 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: about today's big news in the NBA. 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: Man, a real news happening out there. 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: Uh, time is a flat circle. It is true. After weeks, 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: like seven weeks of reports and rumors and speculation and tweets, 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: all the tweets, Kevin Durant has ended up right back 22 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: where he started because the Nets announced today that they 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: will not trade Durant following a meeting with owner Josi, 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: his wife Clara wu, coach Steve Nash, and general manager 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: Sean Marx in Los Angeles on Monday. For those that 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: have been living under a rock, Katie requested a trade 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: from the Nets on June thirtieth. The Nets were like 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: unable to find a deal to meet their asking price. 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: Durant wanted to go to the Suns with a heat, remember, 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: but then he opened up that lead list and he said, no, 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: I'll go anywhere you can get me. But it became 32 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: sort of implausible. So the Nets statement, I think this 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: is actually really fun to look at here, so I'm 34 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: going to post it for everyone joining us on YouTube. 35 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,919 Speaker 1: Here's the Net statement. This is from Sean Marks. 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: Quote. 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Steve Nash and I, together with Josie and Clara Wusai, 38 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: met with Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman in Los Angeles yesterday. 39 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: So on Monday, we have agreed to move forward with 40 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: our partnership. We are focusing on basketball with one collective 41 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: goal in mind, build a lasting franchise to bring a 42 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: championship to Brooklyn. End quote TK, You're already giggling away. 43 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: What was your immediate reaction to this? Big news here today. 44 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: Well, I think the Nets are big winners in this 45 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: trade here, skeets. 46 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: I agree. 47 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: They gave up Kevin Durant and somehow they got Kevin 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: Durant back. 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: Wow, expect it. I didn't expect it. 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: People were saying, maybe the best player you can get 51 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 3: for Kevin Durant is Jalen Brown, But as it turns out, 52 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: it's Kevin Durant. I'm envious of the people who haven't 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 3: put a single Kevin Durant podcast in their ears yet 54 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: this summer. You could have just been living their beautiful 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 3: lives completely unaware that Kevin Durant ever made a trade request, 56 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 3: that people were ever making emergency podcasts, that people were 57 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 3: doing hours and hours of content about a trade that 58 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: ultimately never happened and never came close to happening. Could 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: have just been living your life out there instead, us 60 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: sikos are breaking down a potential trade for every single 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 3: franchise in the NBA. 62 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: But as it turns out, the Nets are. 63 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: The place to be, at least for now, for now, 64 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: at least for now, for now. For me, I don't 65 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 3: know that I totally am buying in on the fact 66 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: that this is anything more than a negotiation tactic. I 67 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 3: think it's very I think it's as likely that Kevin 68 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: Durant could be traded today as it could have been yesterday, 69 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: despite the fact that they've come out and made this declaration. 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: Release this statement co branded with the Brooklyn Nets and 71 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: Boardroom both. 72 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 73 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: I like to see that they got their branding in 74 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: on it as well. But this is the same franchise 75 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: that Kyrie Irving went one day, made a trade request, 76 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: next day, he signed his player option, and he is 77 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: back as well. So I think that for now, at least, 78 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: the Nets are on the same page, and that page 79 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: is we aren't able to get back enough for Kevin 80 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: Durant to the point where it makes sense trading him. 81 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: I think the biggest line to me is in that 82 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: very last line of the letter that they released, we 83 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: want to build a lasting franchise, to build a championship 84 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: to Brooklyn. When you look at all the trade packages 85 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: that have been potentially suggested for Kevin Durant, it looks 86 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 3: like they would be left the Nets would in a 87 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: worse place than before trading Kevin Durant. So I think 88 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: it's pretty obvious to the Nets that if Durant leaves, 89 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 3: if Kyrie Irving leaves, they're left with nothing and having 90 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: already traded everything away. So they didn't see a way 91 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 3: that they could actually reboot their franchise and go forward 92 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: from this point without keeping Kevin Durant around. So I 93 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 3: think the Nets have to be big winners in all 94 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 3: of this. They stood their ground for the entirety of 95 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 3: the time. People can change skeets. We saw Kobe Bryant 96 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: make a trade request once upon a time. The Lakers 97 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 3: held firm because much like the same situation, they couldn't 98 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: find a trade for Kobe that would leave Kobe in 99 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: a happy contending spot without and the Lakers are getting 100 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: the same stuff back. Obviously, the Lakers were able to 101 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 3: get things together. Kobe got a couple more championships, winning 102 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 3: heels all, but you gotta do some winning if you're 103 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: Kevin Durant now. So we'll see if he actually suit's 104 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 3: up for the Nets come the season, and we'll see 105 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 3: how they look when they're out on the court. 106 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, you're hearing the Kobe comparison a 107 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: lot here today. I think even Wolves was tweeting it, 108 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: and on what would have been even the birthday of 109 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant here today he would have been twenty forty 110 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: four years old. So a weird coincidence there, or Kad 111 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: being really kd about it. Who knows, But I don't remember, 112 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. And when you take me 113 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 1: back to seven, I also don't remember Kobe saying, hey, 114 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: get rid of the coach, get rid of the GM, 115 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: or I'm out of here, like that ultimatum which happened, 116 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: Like this happened two weeks ago. This guy is saying this, 117 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: and they you know, he they convince them otherwise, and 118 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: they are at this meeting Nation Marksars. So like that 119 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: part is the real strange dynamic to me. And like 120 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: I guess if you're a NETS fan, of course you'reight. 121 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: You should be happy today because you were never going 122 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: to get a better package back. Like you said for Kad, 123 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: you should still be a little wary of him not 124 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: waffling and changing his mind by I don't know forty 125 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: eight hours from now, let alone a week or two 126 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: by the time we get to camp, even in five 127 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: or six weeks. But that's gotta be strange, right Trey, 128 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: Like he has said, I don't want to work with 129 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: these guys get rid of them, and Joseih says, no, 130 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. And then these guys, I mean, 131 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: I guess they swallowed a little bit of their pride. 132 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: They're like, you know, they're professionals. I get it, but 133 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: like that'd be a little strange and will continue to 134 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: be strange, I think moving forward. 135 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess with Kobe it was he just wanted 136 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: Andrew Bynum gone right, because that was the young talent there, 137 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: and they wanted to be able to replace that young 138 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: talent with some more contending talent, obviously buying them stuck 139 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 3: around for the titles with the Lakers as well, But 140 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: you can see the difference. Kobe Bryant was on a 141 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: much different level than Andrew Binham, especially early in by 142 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 3: his career. 143 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 2: With Kevin Durant, it's like you're going up against the 144 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: front office. You're going up against the. 145 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: Coach who is a Hall of Famer two time MVP himself, 146 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: and obviously you're going up against Joe Sie the recent 147 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: purchaser of the Nets not too long ago, one of 148 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: the richest dudes to own a franchise in the league. 149 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: So you know he's punching up a little bit, whereas 150 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: with regards to Kobe, it was like, if it's coming 151 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: down to Kobe and Andrew Bidham, you know who's winning 152 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: that power struggle. It's obviously different here and it makes 153 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: for a very interesting first couple of days at camp. 154 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: We already know that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have 155 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: interesting relationships with their coach. 156 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: When he was. 157 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: Hired, Kyrie was saying, we got three head coaches out there, 158 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: give me the ball in the post. But Steve Nash 159 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 3: was the guy they wanted way back when, two years ago, 160 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: you know, and now it feels like they don't want him, 161 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: but they're okay with him being around. So you know, 162 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 3: things may be a little bit smoothed over here. But 163 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: I don't think one press release in the gates two 164 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: months of the summer of drama hanging over their heads, 165 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: not to mention the way last season ended for the Nets, 166 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 3: not to mention the way the season went for the 167 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: Nets last year. They've had a stressful couple of seasons 168 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: here in Brooklyn, no doubt about it. 169 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: So this helps. 170 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: Keeping Kevin Durant helps, But they still got a ton 171 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 3: of stuff to figure out. Mostly can they get everybody 172 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 3: on the same page trying to win together. 173 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean this could go very easily sideways 174 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: or a little off track, and are then is everybody 175 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: walking on eggshells, like I mean Nash in the front 176 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: office and even other players on the team, because now 177 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to rock the boat. You don't want 178 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: to say the wrong thing. You don't want to tweet 179 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: the wrong thing that suddenly gets Kyrie or KD popping off. 180 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: Like this part that dynamic is so strange to me. 181 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: And I tweeted out like how long will Steve Nash 182 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: even coach the nets here? Like if they start poorly, 183 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: I think it could very easily be the Mike Brown 184 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: situation with the Lakers where it's like five six games, 185 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: like if they were to start one and four whatever, 186 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: like not even maybe like five hundred after twenty games, 187 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, where they're not living up to expectations. I 188 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: just like, I just don't know how they how he 189 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: would be able to keep his job at that point. 190 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I get I get Josiah ownership and management 191 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: like leaning into like, hey, we can't give all the 192 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: controls of the players like we do have to like 193 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: have some people in charge that are like in the roles, 194 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: but if you can't deliver it, I mean Nash when 195 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: I say they like, then they would have to move 196 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: off them. And then maybe that's when Katie and Kyrie 197 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: so to speak, are getting what they want in the end. Anyway, 198 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, this is this is wild. 199 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I certainly think that that Nash is under a 200 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: ton of pressure right now, as we've seen with Kevin Durant, 201 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: Like the guy wants to leave and they can't find 202 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 3: a place that makes sense for him to go. With 203 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: the return coming back, so it's hard to change the players. Uh, 204 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: they've already changed around the one unhappy guy who left 205 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: last year in James Harden. They're bringing back Ben Simmons, 206 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: Like Steve Nash has to coach Ben Simmons this year. Yeah, 207 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 3: he's got a there's a couple of new rotation players 208 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: who are going to be in the mix as well 209 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 3: with Royce O'Neill and TJ. 210 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: Warren who they're gonna have to work in. 211 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 3: A guy like Nick Claxton is coming back, you assume 212 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: he's gonna have a bigger role this year, especially considering 213 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 3: Bruce Brown left. Like Bruce Brown was one of the 214 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: integral parts to the Nets' best lineups last year, maybe 215 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: the most intense defender that the Nets had, and now 216 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 3: he's gone, likely replaced with Ben Simmons. But there are 217 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: a lot of question marks for Steve Nash to figure out. 218 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: Sean Marks ain't going anywhere, jos I ain't going anywhere. 219 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: We just saw that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. You 220 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: can't trade him right now. So Nash is the guy 221 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: that's gonna be on the hot seat, no doubt about it. 222 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: I thought that the seventy six ers would probably have 223 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 3: the most pressure coming into this season because I thought 224 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: the Nets would just eventually do this trade, maybe do 225 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: the Kyrie to the Lakers trade as well, and they'll 226 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 3: just be kind of like an also ran in the 227 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: Eastern Conference. But if you've got Kevin Durant and you 228 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: got Kyrie Irving. They made moves to try and improve 229 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 3: a little bit in the offseason. Theoretically, Ben Simmons is 230 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: going to be an all star caliber player again at 231 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: some point. They're expecting to be good once again. Oh yeah, 232 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: and they have a ton of pressure from their two superstars, 233 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 3: to their coach, to everybody else down on the roster 234 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: as well. They didn't handle lit the pressure well at 235 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: all last season, and it could go just as poorly 236 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: this year. 237 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, Like, let's talk about their roster a little 238 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: bit because you're you're right, it's I mean, on paper, 239 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: it looks pretty damn solid. Your guards are Kyrie, Joe Harris, 240 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: who would be back in this line up, Patty Mills, 241 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: Seth Curry, Cam Thomas, you're forwards of course now, Durant, 242 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, Royce, O'Neill, TJ Warren coming off the bench. 243 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: And then your center's probably a little a little short 244 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: in that department, but hey, this is the new NBA. 245 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: Do you even need a center anymore? Claxton and let's 246 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: say Sharp there as their centers, and there's a lot 247 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: of talk about when are they gonna get cousins, when's 248 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: Dwight Howard gonna be on this roster whatever? 249 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 3: So I mean, yeah, Cavalier's teammate Tristan Thompson coming to Brooklyn. 250 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 3: We see him on the back of the tabloids every 251 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 3: single weekends, skeets. 252 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be weird to see. 253 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: If all those guys play. And that's a big, big 254 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: butt you know where do they fall in the Eastern Conference? 255 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: Views like that, Like a is that like the favorite 256 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: in the East or the right there with the Celtics 257 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: and Bucks step below them? 258 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: Like what do you think I'm not gonna get suckered 259 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 3: again this year? I think I might. I think I 260 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: might have had the Nets in the finals the past 261 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: two seasons in our preseason predictions. Hey, I'm not going 262 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 3: down that way again, skeets because there's just too much 263 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 3: drama going around. There's too many questions to be answered. 264 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: And that's without even factoring anything that may happen in 265 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: the next two months before the season starts, let alone 266 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 3: what's gonna happen when they actually start playing basketball games 267 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 3: and face whatever kind of adversity they face during the season. 268 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 3: You look at a team like the Celtics, who have 269 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 3: been together for five seasons basically with their core. You 270 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: look at a team like the Bucks the same they've 271 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: been together five seasons, won a championship, have one of 272 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 3: the greatest players in the league. Both of these are 273 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: all three of these teams do. They have some of 274 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: the greatest players in the league. But the continuity, the 275 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 3: chemistry that Boston and that Milwaukee have, I think is 276 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: gonna set them far ahead of the Nets. The Nets 277 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 3: are gonna still continue to be a team that says, 278 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: gonna roll the balls out there because we will likely 279 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 3: have more talent. Maybe that's true, but it didn't pay 280 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: off at all in the fin in the playoffs last year. 281 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 3: I know Lee's pretty down on Kevin Durant. I still 282 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 3: think he's one of the two or three best players 283 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 3: in the league. But sometimes that doesn't matter when you 284 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 3: come up against the team that really knows how to 285 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: focus and win together. 286 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, there's already a lot of talk if 287 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: Nash is to get off to a sol start and 288 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: they move off from him, or maybe he just gets 289 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: tired of all of it and he like has a 290 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: breaking point. Who knows. I guess that's in play. Everybody's 291 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: saying Mark Jackson would be coaching Amelia. We're saying Mark 292 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: Jackson as coach of the Nets would maximize the drama. 293 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: And we're getting into bad Shakespeare territory here. I love it. 294 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 3: Can the vibes on a team be so bad that 295 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: they turn back around to being good vibes? Because if so, 296 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 3: I mean the Nets are well on their way to 297 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 3: getting some of the worst vibesmen in the league. 298 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: So I would think that bringing. 299 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: Cousins in, that's a must at this point, bringing into 300 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 3: Thompson guys who just everybody in the locker room hates him. 301 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 3: By the time the season is over, get as many 302 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: as the guys as you can, and maybe eventually you'll 303 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: turn back onto the right path. 304 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 305 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think you're honestly, the secret 306 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: is everybody has to have bad vibes, that's right. Everybody 307 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: has to be pissed off and upset about something different 308 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: every day. You can't have like optimistic, good vibe guys. 309 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: Then then it gets all if everybody's on the same page, 310 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: which is like everybody's always pissed off or you never 311 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: know what temperament they're gonna be, but they're still incredible 312 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: basketball players. Yeah, maybe it does work. Maybe that's the 313 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: new plan here to build this lasting legacy here in Brooklyn. 314 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: It's crazy, So so you think just mainly continuity, and 315 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: of course the like who really knows, And let's be 316 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: honest too, Steve Nash may not be a good coach. 317 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: Who knows. 318 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't even think we have any idea really. I 319 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: think some NETS fans will say he's not trust me. 320 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: I watch a lot of NETS games. He makes a 321 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: lot of weird decisions. I get that, but look what 322 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: the guy has had to go through here. It's not 323 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: a great fair shake to the start of an NBA 324 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: coaching career. So like, if everybody plays here, like let's see, 325 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: let's let's see the exces and nose, let's see how 326 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: he operates with this type of squad. I'd like to. 327 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: Give him some benefit of the doubt. 328 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: They're leive him a chance, small chance, but maybe he 329 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: sucks and uh, and I think they're gonna have a 330 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: short window with them. I think they have to. I'd 331 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: call it twenty games, like see where they're at. And 332 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: if it's like a classic like ten and ten or 333 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: like even worse, you know, I think that's probably unlikely 334 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: because if they're not playing, they're damn good. But he 335 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: would be gone. And then hell yeah, bringing Mark Jackson? 336 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: Sure? Why not? Why not? 337 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: At that point? One hundred percent? Yeah, everybody coming away 338 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: here in the stream, team you guys are you guys 339 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: were having you guys were having hearty arguments before even 340 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: started up this stream about especially Kevin Durant and his 341 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: standing u sort of in the league and winning championships 342 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: with Steph and not being able to do it so 343 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: far on his own. But this guy man like he waffles, uh, 344 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: and you're sort of right. I think you're dead on, 345 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: like this is good now. I think if you're a 346 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: Nets fan, you should be happy. I want to reiterate that, 347 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: because again this you want these guys playing on your team. 348 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: But who's to say that the start of training camp 349 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: if not before, like he changes his mind or it's 350 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: just this, it's just a sour vibe like they just 351 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: by all accounts, I think it was Nick Friedman like this, 352 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: It just was garbage to play for this team last year, 353 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: to be in that locker room, to be around that squad, like, 354 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: no one's gonna want to run that back again. I 355 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: know we joke about the all the bad vibes, but 356 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: that's you can't do that. 357 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: I mean James Harden. James Harden is like, get me 358 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: out of here. This is too crazy for even me. 359 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: And people were like, oh, you know what, Harden is right, 360 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: even though he just potted his way out of a 361 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 3: previous franchise. 362 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 2: At least the guy's right. 363 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: He's going to a nice, stable place Philadelphia, where the 364 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 3: vibes are always great and everybody gave him a round 365 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 3: of applause. That's how weird it was for the next 366 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 3: last season. But honestly, like this is best case scenario 367 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: for Brooklyn and for at least this year. I do 368 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 3: think it's probably best case scenario for Durant if he 369 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: wants to re establish himself where he really is as 370 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 3: a player. Talent Yeah, because talent wise, when he's healthy, 371 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 3: when he's playing, when he's in a rhythm. There was 372 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 3: that stretch during the season last year whereas basically KD 373 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 3: and four dudes off the bench and he was playing 374 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 3: forty two minutes a night and balling and like, I 375 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 3: never want to come out, and that was awesome to watch. 376 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: He's that kind of a player, no doubt about it. 377 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: But the reputation for him right now is all about 378 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 3: trying to perfectly craft the super team and get to 379 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 3: the exact place he wants. He's on a decent team 380 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 3: right now. Kadi and Kyrie great start. They've got a 381 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 3: little bit more balance. It feels like with defensive players. 382 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 3: With the more size, they're going to have They're still 383 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 3: going to run into problems with specifically Giannis and Joel Embiid. 384 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 3: Huge guys, but you know what, those guys are MVP candidates. 385 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 3: Everybody has a problem with them. But this is the 386 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 3: best team. I do think that Kevin Durant could could 387 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,959 Speaker 3: have ended up on like it could have happened with Boston, right. 388 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: The trade could have happened Jalen Brown for Kevin Durant 389 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 3: throwing pieces here and there. 390 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 2: That would be a really good team. 391 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 3: But you would have to destroy a lot of the 392 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 3: franchises that Kadie was looking at for him to get 393 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: traded there. And if that's the case, they're not a 394 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 3: great championship contender. 395 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 2: I don't know that. 396 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: I think the Nets are totally a championship contender, but 397 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 3: you can't rule them out. That's how good Katie and 398 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 3: Kyrie are. So some wins win a playoff series, stay competitive. 399 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 3: Like everybody's riding high on the Nets after they lost 400 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: to the Bucks by a toe right, Like everybody are 401 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: saying they could have been the champions. They could have 402 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 3: easily went to the finals just like the Bucks did. 403 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 3: The team is not too different at this point, so 404 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 3: you just gotta get your head down. You just gotta 405 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 3: play basketball and you gotta win, and maybe maybe the 406 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: perception changes a little bit. 407 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: Do you think this means Kyrie Irving is definitely here 408 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: for this one year before his contract obviously runs out 409 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: with the Brooklyn Nets after picking up the player option, Like, 410 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: does this trade change any of the Kyrie equation to 411 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: you and the possibility of being traded to the Lakers 412 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: or another team? 413 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: No? 414 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 3: No, I mean definitely, you can't say anything is definite 415 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 3: with these two in this franchise right now. Because when 416 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 3: Lebron signed his extension and it made him kind of 417 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 3: ineligible for a trade for the next season, then I 418 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 3: was like, Oh, this Kyrie trade is happening. For sure. 419 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 3: It's gonna be Westbrook for Kyrie, and then they'll figure 420 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 3: out a Durant trade as well. So I think that 421 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 3: that's probably still something that's gonna be discussed at some point. 422 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 3: So I just, I mean, I'm not totally convinced that 423 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 3: the Nets roster we're looking at today is the same 424 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 3: one we see once camp opens up. So you know, 425 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: it's a nice little respite from thinking, is today the 426 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 3: day Kevin Drink gets traded? Is that gonna happen. Finally, 427 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like it's gonna happen, but that's probably 428 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: the time when we're letting our guard down and then 429 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 3: they hit us with a trade. 430 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know. I mean, it's just like unfortunately 431 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: with this squad too. It's like it's not even unfortunately 432 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: because this is the bed you made now you got 433 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: laying it. But it's like they put out one fire, 434 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: like they finally get it under control, and then another 435 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: one flares up over here, and then you get a 436 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: little control of that one, okay, and then something else. 437 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: It's like I was joking with the I Think Gourmet 438 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: spot on Twitter. It's like, what's gonna hit this team next? 439 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: Like Joe Harris is gonna have monkey pox suddenly, and 440 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: it's like everyone's gonna be terrified of it. Uh, you know, 441 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: transferred to the rest of the team. It's like just 442 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: when you think like all right, everybody cool, good, Uh, 443 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: something else is uh you know gonna pop off here. 444 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: It's you know, I'm joking about monkey pocks. I hope 445 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: Joe Harris doesn't get it, but would you be shocked 446 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: if something insane happens with one of these other guys 447 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: on this team. 448 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: No, yeah, absolutely not. 449 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 3: Like, instead of this summer being about getting Ben Simmons 450 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 3: ready to play basketball and make a run at a 451 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: championship with three all stars, it's been figuring out what 452 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: our roster is going to be. Like this would have 453 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 3: been a great summer for those three to be getting 454 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 3: on the same page to put together what they actually 455 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: want to look like on a basketball court together, and 456 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: instead it's just been negotiating through the press basically. So yeah, 457 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 3: uh no, nothing is off the table with these teams. 458 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 3: We haven't seen Ben Simmons play basketball and in like 459 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 3: a year and a half, and the guy is going 460 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 3: to be coming back as a starter key to their 461 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 3: championship hopes. There are still so many things to figure 462 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: out with the nets. 463 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is wild that all three of their main 464 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: guys have like whether they care or not, because I'm 465 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: not convinced most of them do. Like they do have 466 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot to prove to. Uh sure, you know the 467 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: NBA world. NBA fans like Ben Simmons case for sure, 468 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: can you even still play basketball at an elite level? Like, uh, 469 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: can you even do you even want to play? Katie? 470 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: With the more of the legacy angle of things, like 471 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: you're saying like I can lead a team to a 472 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: championship or to a finals by myself. And then there's 473 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: the whole kyrie thing of like, uh, you know, hey, 474 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: when he plays, he always reminds you. He's like, oh 475 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: my god, this guy just went for thirty five in 476 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: his sleep, Like but uh oh, now, now what's the issue. 477 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: And now he doesn't want to play, and now he 478 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: doesn't want to do this, and it's like, oh my god, yeah, 479 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: we'll see. Uh, it's good. It's like I'm you know, 480 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: you were saying at the top tray, like all of 481 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: this content that was made over this, like over the 482 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: last you know whatever, six seven, eight weeks, I'm happy 483 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: the way we handled it. We didn't we didn't go overboard. 484 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: We made some shows. You had to have an emergency pod. 485 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: When Katie said he wanted to be traded, that's a 486 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: no brainer. We talked about some of the hypothetical trades. 487 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: You know, should the Raps throw in Scottie Barnes, you know, 488 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: should uh, you know, should the Suns they were the 489 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: hot team at the beginning, should they do it? And 490 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: all these other teams didn't even talk about the Grizzlies 491 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: over the last couple of days, like we didn't go, 492 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: we didn't go. 493 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 3: That was short lived, and that was short lived day 494 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: the possible Grizzlies where the news came out the Grizzlies 495 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 3: are interested, but they don't want to trade any of 496 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 3: their good players. So literally the next day and that's 497 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 3: where like, I won't even give us Desmond Bane, Man, 498 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: you gotta stay. They won't even give us Bane. 499 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you think that's what That's what happened that 500 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: they had Cuara Wu was pulling up the trade machine 501 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: and showing them like, look at Kevin. 502 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 3: I I hate to say it, man, we asked for 503 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 3: contra and they said no, So you're gonna have to 504 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 3: stick around in Brooklyn for another four years. 505 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, just how it is. 506 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: That's how it is. 507 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: Ah, we will see how long will Kevin Durant be 508 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: with the Brooklyn Nets. This is what I'm fascinated by. 509 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 3: You think he finishes his four year extension that starts 510 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 3: this season? No, yeah, I guess like no, no. 511 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 2: No, no, that's a risky bet. 512 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: That's a risky bet. But yeah then you yeah, you'd 513 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: have no, no, no, because even he went to a 514 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: team where he was given absolutely really anything he wanted, 515 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: everything he wanted, be it coaches and players and like 516 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: the new direction of the squad and like make the 517 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: super team or try and build that. And like then 518 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,239 Speaker 1: he was asking for a trade and it was like, 519 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: you know what, still a little confused. I assume it 520 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 1: was the Kyrie not getting his extension. What really upset 521 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. You know, that's my boy, that's my guy, 522 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: and you're not doing it because he asked, like what 523 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: twelve hours later, twenty four hours, they seem to be late. Yeah, 524 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: like feels like it. 525 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 3: So I guess I guess that's that's another a little 526 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 3: bit of a sort of tea leaves we could be 527 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 3: looking out for in the future, right as if the 528 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 3: Nets make some sort of overtures to Kyrie about keeping 529 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: him around long term and really starting to try to 530 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: establish a championship identity. 531 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: If that happens, I guess. 532 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 3: You're probably feeling a little bit more confident about Katie 533 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 3: finishing out his contracts. Yeah, with the Nets, But we 534 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 3: shall see if anything along those lines happen, because it 535 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 3: definitely feels like they are still bonded, they are still 536 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: linked together. So if if Katie is really serious about 537 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 3: sticking around, sticking around long term in Brooklyn, then I 538 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 3: would have to imagine that Kyrie is part of that 539 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 3: as well. 540 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. True, I also saw I don't want to get 541 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: your take on this. Someone wrote teams that had been 542 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: stuck in like this Durant related like holding pattern could 543 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: now jump into the Donovan Mitchell sweepstakes. Even Dicks appear 544 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: to be like the main suitor to acquire Mitchell from 545 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: the Jazz. Do you agree with that? Again, that's not 546 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: me saying that. I've read that. I think it was 547 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: the Sporting News. Do you buy that at all? Or no? 548 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 2: Yes, I do buy that. 549 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: At least, if you're working the phones and you're willing 550 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 3: to be making all of these trades for Kevin Durant, 551 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 3: then you've kind of got some sort of approval right 552 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 3: to trade players and picks and any sort of other 553 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: assets that may come. 554 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 2: By in the future. 555 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 3: So you'd just be doing your due diligence to get 556 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 3: involved in the Donovan Mitchell as well, since it's gonna 557 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 3: take some of the same stuff. Probably not to the 558 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 3: same level that Kevin Durant was, But you know, I 559 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 3: don't think that I don't think every team will be 560 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 3: calling about Donovan Mitchell, like every team should have been 561 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 3: calling about Kevin Durant. 562 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, because like even when you start going through the teams, 563 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: like you know, there is a difference first off, between 564 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's level of play still in the NBA and 565 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: then Donovan Mitchell, like it's still a bit of a gap. 566 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, like like I don't see like obviously the Suns. 567 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: I guess the Heat maybe be one of those teams. 568 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: I don't think the Raptors are in Donovan Mitchell's sweepstakes 569 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: by any means. I don't think a team like the Pelicans, Uh, 570 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, the Grizzlies. No, it's like I'm trying to 571 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: think of something other Sixers. 572 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: No, like, uh, the only team that made me think 573 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 2: of its skeets. 574 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 3: I feel like the Wizards have sort of been like, Okay, 575 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 3: the very last team linked to both of these guys, 576 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 3: and like, if they're striking out on Kevin Durant, sure 577 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: go after Donovan Mitchell. 578 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: Why not? 579 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: Sure? Sure? I guess I never really truly believe the 580 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: Wizards wherever in the Kevin Durant sweeps. 581 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: No, but it was nice to see their name, you know. 582 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so we will will wait and see. With 583 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell, I think most people still think if it happens, 584 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: it will be to the New York Knicks. I know. Uh. 585 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: I guess the latest is Evan Fournier, Obi Toppin and 586 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: was it five total picks, two of them being first 587 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: round picks. I think that's the latest trade package we've heard, 588 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: possibly presented there to Danny Ainge in Utah, which I 589 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: understand why yeah, yeah. 590 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 3: When it was highlighted by fourty A and Top and 591 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 3: I was like, forty eight was the guy I wanted 592 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: out of the NIXT starting lineup last year and it'll 593 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 3: be Top and it wasn't starting for the next last year. 594 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 2: So I see why they said no on that one. 595 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. And there might be 596 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: a hang up on Grimes Grimes Watson too, so Grimes 597 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: will get it done, is the possibility anyway? Well, wait, 598 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: we don't need to go much longer. If you've got 599 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: any questions or comments fire away here in the stream 600 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: team any any final thoughts here?

We're gonna talk about NBA jam duos 683 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: and we're gonna like try and build build one for 684 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: each team. But the little twist is you have to 685 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: have a current player and then like a legend. And 686 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: I got some other rules like you can't have like 687 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, Shat can't be on the Magic and the 688 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: Lakers or something like that. You guys have one franchise 689 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah, and you gotta try 690 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: and build a team that's sort of like a guard 691 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: and then and then a big So I'll get into 692 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 1: that with Lee in Theory on Thursday on No Dunks. 693 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, lots of good stuff here coming for you 694 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: still in the summer. 695 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 3: Looking forward to that NBA JAM one. My question was 696 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: going to be, are you allowing Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. 697 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: To be chosen? 698 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: That's a that's a good question. Well what do you 699 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: think you decide you're the MJ I don't think so. 700 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Wow. So, just because they were 701 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: not ever cleared in any NBA JAM series, I believe 702 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: that they shouldn't be allowed on my list. Okay, okay, well, 703 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: hold on, Jordan is like apparently appearing in the latest 704 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: PGA two. 705 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 2: I saw that. 706 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 3: I saw him taking a shot with his bucket hat on, 707 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: and I saw the photoshop of him taking that shot 708 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 3: with the bucket hat on and a giant pair of jeans. 709 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: Photo shots on. 710 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: Instead instead of the usual shorts. That was very funny, 711 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: big jeans.
