1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: What is up, straight Firefan? It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Fire for Thursday, February sixth, Super Bowls just a few

4
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: days away. Get excited, ladies and germs. Got some good stories.

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: It's been a long day. I'll just say that we're

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: recording this late, very late to Wednesday night early Thursday morning,

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: and got some fun stuff. I think you'll like it. Obviously,

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: the Jimmy Butler trade will be the larger portion of

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: the podcast, but let's get some other stuff out of

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: the way first. So I've been going to the super

11
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: Bowl for many years, and when I say the super Bowl,

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: I mean the events the week of the Super Bowl.

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: I'm not like actually going to the game. I've actually

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: never been to a Super Bowl game, and I don't

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: have a ton of interest because it's very commercialized. It

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: just takes forever. The commercials are longer, the halftime shows like,

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. I keep it real with you guys,

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: I don't love going to football game. Sometimes it's fun

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: occasionally big game mix it up, sure, but it's just

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: the appetite is not there for me to actually attend

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: the game. Anyways, So I'm here in New Orleans and

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: I get on the plane to fly from LA to

23
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 2: New Orleans, and I noticed that there's like a guy

24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: sitting in one a who looks like it definitely looks

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: like an athlete. He's thin, he's in good shape, and

26
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: I can't place him. I'm like, I know this guy.

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: He's got to be a point guards ow er. Maybe

28
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: he's a shooting guard. And I remember one time I

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: got on a flight from LA to Vegas and Quinn

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: Cook if you guys remember him from Duke He had

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: a cup of coffee with the Lakers, more than a

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: cup of coffee probably, and he was on the fight

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: and I could instantly place him. And this guy I

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: kind of look like that like frame the build, and

35
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: he just looks super young. I was like, oh, this

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: is like some young maybe two way contract guy. Maybe

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: did Giligue got I don't know. I could. I couldn't

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: place him. So I he was sitting right in front

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: of Coward. And then I get off the flight and

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm talking to another guy from FS one, Shady McCoy.

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: He was on the flight too, and he goes, hey,

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: did you see my boy Bryce Young? And I like

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: stop walking in the airport, and I'm like, sheez, that

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: was Bryce I knew. I knew that face. And then

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: I started to register like, oh my gosh, Bryce Young,

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: what the heck? How young does he look? How small

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: is Bryce Young? I was stunned. I mean he's obviously,

48
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: you know, he seemed like a nice guy. I was

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: friendly to everybody. But like, I was stunned. I mean,

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: I'm I like to think of myself as five ten.

51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: It's probably closer to five nine, and I'm probably uh,

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: one seventy five maybe when I've been doing a cycle

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: of creatine up to one eighty. There's no way Bryce

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: Young is hist two hundred pounds, guys, zero chance of that.

55
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I would I would bet against that if

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: he got on a scale today. He's just he's not

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: a big guy, and I cannot believe he's an NFL quarterback. Anyways,

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: I didn't talk to him, but so, you know, New

59
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Orleans is my first time here in a nice little city.

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: Here's the weird part. I don't totally know the city,

61
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, oh, I'm gonna go out and

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: get a burger. Let me like chat, GPT some good

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: food plays, and I start walking around the streets, you know,

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: and there's some fans in some areas. And then then

65
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm like on streets like by myself, and I'm like thinking,

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: oh wait a minute, I'm in New Orleans. Is this safe? Now?

67
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: It was in the middle, it was not the middle

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: of the day, was like evening and it was still

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: light out. But I'm just like, boy, Mike, is this smart?

70
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: And then later in the night, I get in ato

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: Uber I'm like, hey, man, I gotta ask is this

72
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: area safe like to walk around? He's like, no, just

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: straight no, And I was like, all right, well I'm

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: done walking around then. Anyways, New Orleans does seem like

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: a very walkable city, at least the parts I've been to.

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: I'll check out more before heading back. But obviously the

77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: volume had a party and it was fun. I saw

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while.

79
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: That's what you do at the Super Bowl. And I

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: will say the number that there were basically three questions

81
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: asked me at this party, and number one was are

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: you moving to Chicago? Because of the cow I saw

83
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: the cowards? Are you moving to Chicago? And I just

84
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. And then number two,

85
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: what the hell's going on at Fox? Like, you know,

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: big media company not answering that question either. And number three,

87
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: how on earth did you fill in for Coward when

88
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: he got sick the other day? Dude, he went down

89
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: in the middle of the show, and I'm listening or

90
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: watching whatever the people were saying. Multip people said this,

91
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm listening to watching and it's like, how's Jason gonna

92
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: pull this off? And then he just starts talking and

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: it was like, oh my gosh, this is how's he

94
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: doing this? And I reminded the guy every single person

95
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: I talked about this, I'm like, well, I fortunately do

96
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: this podcast either the night before or the morning before,

97
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: so I'm well versed in the topic. And I got

98
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: a gift. Luca traded to the Lakers. I mean they're

99
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: talking about this being one of the most significant shocking

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: trades in the history of sports, definitely basketball, And so

101
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: I was ready. I had just tons of AMMO. I

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: mean I was locked and loaded, and I would like

103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: empty the clip on a segment. I'm like, all right,

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: well we got next. I got more stuff. You know,

105
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: There's just layers and layers of this story and to

106
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: take it to the next level. I'm sure you guys

107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: saw when Lebron had that awesome move the other night

108
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: and he flushed it. It was like a give and

109
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: go and he looks over to the bench at Uh

110
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: at Luca and he's like, we're going to do this.

111
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: This is gonna be us. And it was like, Oh,

112
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: he's fired up this idea. And I had people pitch me, Hey,

113
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: j Mac, I got you Lebron leaving the Lakers after

114
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: the season to go to the MAVs, and it was like,

115
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: that's an interesting tie. That's fascinating. I don't hate it.

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: It's outside the box. I like it. I definitely like

117
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: these kind of interesting angles. But I don't think Lebron's

118
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: going anywhere. He's got JJ Redick, he's got Luca, he's

119
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 2: got his son, all on the same team. Like, that's

120
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: not bad at all, isn't it. I don't see him

121
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: going anywhere.

00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: Now let's get to the real big Oh, let me

127
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: quickly just say I was able to dig into Spurs

128
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: Hawks because I wanted to see what Dearon Fox had.

129
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: Dearon Fox in his debut twenty four thirteen five boards,

130
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: three steals. Now he did take He was eleven or

131
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: twenty two shooting, which is, you know, not high, not great,

132
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: fifty percent for a Guarden, not awesome. Two for seven

133
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: from deep. They get to win over the Hawks, and

134
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: it was like, you know, kind of sort of impressive

135
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: how well and up tempo they play. But what was

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: shocking to me was how the hell are the Hawks

137
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: keeping this close when their roster consists of guys like

138
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: Dominic Barlow, Keaton Wallace. They had this skinny white guy

139
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: and I'm like, is that Boogdanovich? Who is that? And

140
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: it was some cretchy some it felt like a billion

141
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: turnovers the box score and he says three. But the

142
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: fight from the Hawks, a Coongo was nice inside. He

143
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: wanted all the smoke from Wemby.

144
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: He had thirty.

145
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: Recular game twenty four and twelve, but he was in

146
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: some foul trouble through four. I gotta say that was

147
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: like an exciting game. Now I'm looking at the three

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: pointers attempted the Hawks attempted forty two and I'm sure

149
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: just give me a break if you win the game.

150
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: It was good basketball. Anyways, Let's get to the big story,

151
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: and that's Jimmy Bucker. Jimmy Buckets. Jimmy Bucker, Jimmy Buckets

152
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: is getting shipped from Miami to Golden State. Jimmy Butler

153
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: traded for a package that is just like what Andrew Wiggins,

154
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: Dennis Shrudter, Kyle Anderson and a protected first round pick.

155
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: That is a weak haul. But that kind of shows

156
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: you just how bad it was in Miami for Jimmy Butler,

157
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: for Miami to take a deal that. I mean, Dennis

158
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: Shooter is a hired gun. I had to count this up. Guys,

159
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: are you ready? He's been on nine teams in the

160
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: last eight years, and he was on the Lakers twice.

161
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: At some point, Dennis Shruder has to look in the

162
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: mirror and be like, Yo, maybe I'm the problem. That's

163
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: why I keep getting traded every fricking year. I mean,

164
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: this is it. Starting in twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, he

165
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: played for Atlanta that he was on OKC for two seasons,

166
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: then with the Lakers that the Celtics traded midseason from

167
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: the Celtics to Houston. Then he lands with the Lakers again,

168
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: and in twenty twenty four he has played for He

169
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: played for Toronto and Brooklyn, then he started the season

170
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: on Brooklyn, shipped the Golden State, and now redirected to Miami.

171
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: I mean that is just shocking. Anyways, Obviously, the Heat,

172
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: there is a video of the Heat bench getting informed

173
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: by a fan that Jimmy Butler has been traded, and

174
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: it looked like there was like actual happiness on the

175
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: bench of the Heat because they been dealing with this

176
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler thing. He's got a nice win, by the

177
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: way over the Sixers. Tyler hero continues his incredible season.

178
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: He had thirty, Nikole Jovich. Yovich had twenty three, Scary

179
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: Terry twenty and it's like, Okay, that's a solid win

180
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: without Butler. I actually think there's a world where this

181
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: team gels a little bit. Wiggins can kind of fill

182
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: that role that they lost with the Martin kid, where

183
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: they don't have like a wing, like a three in D.

184
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 2: They don't have a prototypical three and D. High Smith

185
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: can't score, Duncan Robinson can't defend. Wiggins, can like do

186
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: both of those. You know, Yovic is probably has an X,

187
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 2: but he's still like, I mean, he just looks undersized.

188
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: He's only twenty one. I'm sure this is you know,

189
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: we get Wiggins for a year or two, mentor this kid,

190
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: this kid backs him up, and then Yovich takes over

191
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: in a year or whatever. So overall, I don't hate

192
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: the deal for Miami. It's not a great return that's undeniable,

193
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: not for a guy like Jimmy Butler was taking you

194
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: to the finals twice. But that being said, is there

195
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: really any excitement over Jimmy Butler to the Warriors? He

196
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: told them a week ago, I'm not signing a long

197
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: term extension there. Now he has to turn tail because

198
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Miami said, I'm sorry, Phoenix is not giving us anything.

199
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: We're not taking Bradley Beal. They needed someone else to

200
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: step up, and the Luca trade is what really helped

201
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler because now when Luca went off the table,

202
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: then went Fox, then went Levine and there's really only

203
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: one guy left. Golden State needed to do something. Remember,

204
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: Golden State was like, let's keep I mean, this is

205
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: it's just such a turn of events. It's almost like

206
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: Miami was that desperate. Think about this, Like two weeks ago,

207
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: Steph Curry implores his team, Hey, let's not spend, let's

208
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: keep our powder dry, Let's wait for the summer. That

209
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler says, I'm sorry, I don't want to sign

210
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: with Golden State. Don't trade me there. And now it's like, hey,

211
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: you got no other options, So it's deal with Golden

212
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: State or stay in Miami and be unhappy. And folks,

213
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, I don't even know that the

214
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: Warriors are a playoff team with Jimmy Butler. And I'm

215
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: a huge Jimmy Butler fan, Like, is he an overall

216
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: upgrade over Andrew Wiggans? Sure, but is he a significant

217
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: enough upgrade to vault them with They are currently eleventh

218
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: in the West, half a game back of Dallas, half

219
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: a game back of Dallas, Phoenix and Sacramento, so it's

220
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: a bit of a log jam. But Sacramento just got better,

221
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: Phoenix has not gotten better and now is to deal

222
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: with the Kevin Durant fallout. Dallas is theoretically better once

223
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis returns. And I'm just saying one of those

224
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: teams that gets left out of the play out of

225
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: the play in is going to be really pissed. And

226
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: Anthony Edward's better stay healthy because at seven, the Timberwolves

227
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: are barely clinging to that seventh spot. And I didn't

228
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: even mention when Bin Yama they got a nice win

229
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: to pull within two games. If you had to ask me,

230
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: I would say the spurser making the playoffs. I again,

231
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: I just watched a little of them last night and

232
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: it was like, I mean, Castle looks good, Vassal looked good.

233
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: Now it was against the Hawks, but I like what

234
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: they got. I maybe the Kings are in trouble, although

235
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: the veteran leadership of z that my guy Zach Lavine and

236
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: DeRozan should be good enough. I mean, some one of

237
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: them is gonna whoever they get the eighth seed is

238
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: gonna go up against the thunder be heavy underdogs. But

239
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: I could already tell you the narrative in the media.

240
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Is well, okase, I don't know.

241
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Phoenix has a couple of stars. Dallas has

242
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: Can you imagine Dallas Okac in the first round a rematch?

243
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: Didn't did that happen last year? I think that yeah,

244
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Phoenix got swept by somebody. I've got to look it up,

245
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: because you know, it's been a long day, and off

246
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: the top of my head, I don't know the answer

247
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: to that. But Phoenix is going to be a potentially

248
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: scary team next in the playoffs, assuming they make it,

249
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: because again, and this is not splitting the atom, they

250
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: got a lot of freaking talent.

255
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,479
Speaker 2: Phoenix did not lose to Okasee. They got swept by Minnesota.

256
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: I was in Nashville for the weekend of Game one

257
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: and I remember like looking at a screen and just

258
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: being shocked that Anthony Edwards was giving the business to

259
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant and talking trash to him. Minnesota beat him

260
00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: by twenty five, twelve, fifteen, and six smoked him. I

261
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: mean it was and this is not that different of

262
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: a Phoenix team, folks. I'm just telling you, I don't

263
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: know what to I mean, if they get swept, how

264
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: many times did Kevin Durad have to get swept? Remember

265
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: he got swept by Boston right when he was in Brooklyn.

266
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: Kevin Durray, he can't be a top ten player at

267
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: this Ray guys, he can't. And I'm a huge KD fan.

268
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: Now where it gets Oh, I forgot. There was another

269
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: trade on Wednesday, and it's not as significant, but it

270
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: was Chris Middleton, who had a tremendous run in Milwaukee,

271
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: including a chip he got shipped to the Buck. The

272
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: Wizards degitstations for Kyle Kuzma, and Holy cow, as I'm

273
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: recording this, a news of another trade has broke. The

274
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors have somehow acquired Brandon Ingram in exchange for

275
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown. Remember how he was good like a couple

276
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: of years ago with the Pacers. Yeah, I haven't heard

277
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: from him at all. Kelly Olinik a first round pick

278
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: and a second round pick. So the Raptors, I guess,

279
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: trying to, you know, get a good player, and Brandan

280
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: Ingram was a good player. He could be a three

281
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: hunerd title winner. I mean, you know, he might ideally

282
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: be a four or a sixth man. You know, your

283
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: first guy off the bench who's instant offense. I think

284
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: a sixth man. I think of Vinnie the microwave Johnson

285
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: from the Detroit Pistons way back in the day. The

286
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: real ones will remember that as they say, I don't

287
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: really know what that deal does. I mean, that's the

288
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: Pelicans getting out of the luxury tax, the Raptors saying,

289
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: all right, we'll take a good player. We're probably probably

290
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: not going to get Cooper Flag, but we'll take a

291
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: good player. And then the other deal was valid Judas,

292
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: who had been a target at Lakers and Lebron. He

293
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: goes from the Wizards to the Kings. So the Wizards

294
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: made two moves. They got a Valanchounis and Kuzma. Oh

295
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: my gosh, well the last one out of the Washington

296
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: Wizards building. Please turn off the lights because it's over

297
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: this team. They're the worst team in the NBA nine

298
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: and forty one of the Wizards. They're point differentials minus thirteen.

299
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's real. And that's after three straight wins.

300
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: Holy hell. So let me just read if you want

301
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: to laugh. We'll wrap up the podcast with this. Here's

302
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: the Washington Wizards depth chart post trades. Jordan Poole at

303
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: point guard. You know him, shooting guard is a rookie.

304
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: Bilal koula lobby. If he delivered you door dash tonight,

305
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: you would not have any idea. Who that is? Chris

306
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: Middleton and them all forward, Keishawn George I think he

307
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: went to Baylor at power forward, and Alex Saar another

308
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: young guy at center, the backups, Malcolm Brogdon, Oh my gosh,

309
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: remember when he was Rookie of the year, Bob Carrington,

310
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: young kid Corey Kispert, who you know, was a lottery

311
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: pick and everybody told them, hey, old guys in the lottery,

312
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: it never works out. They did it anyway, didn't work out.

313
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 2: Kispert was a baller. I think Gonzaga, Justin Champagne and

314
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: then Rushawn Holmes. Folks, listen, man, these guys are nbas,

315
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: are professionals. They could destroy me in basketball, but that

316
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: is just such a you know, you add Cooper Flag though,

317
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: and they're going to sell out to season take us

318
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: next year, because that's how big of a deal Cooper

319
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: Flag is. Anyways, it was a hot and heavy Wednesday

320
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: on the NBA trade front. No real NFL news to report.

321
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: I saw a Chad Pennington jersey walking the streets yesterday,

322
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: which a little surprising. Yeah, not a ton of you know,

323
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: it just isn't a whole lot with the Super Bowl

324
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: and storylines. It's like Andy Reid, I'm coming back, guys,

325
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm not retiring. Travis Kelsey, I'm not retiring. I'm coming back.

326
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: Like those are two storylines just wiped off the board.

327
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: The three peet we know. And then there's like Nick

328
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: Sirianni Jalen Hurt Sayqua Barklay, like these are just mid

329
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: If it were Detroit and Buffalo or like Lamar Jackson

330
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: getting the Super Bowl, I just think it would just

331
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: be a different vibe about the game. Like think about this.

332
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: This week's getting saved by the NBA trade deadline. Obviously

333
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: that'll change come Sunday. But that's kind of where we

334
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: are now in sports.

335
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: All right.

336
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: We are back Manyana with a bunch of props. I

337
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: bet some really dumb props for the Super Bowl. And

338
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: I think I told you guys this. I found a

339
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: tickety You gotta know, every July August I go to

340
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: Vegas do a bunch of gambling stuff and I have

341
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: a ticket of Eagles beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

342
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: And let me call it up here and give you

343
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: the odds. It was at the time it seemed a

344
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: little crazy again August twenty eighth, but Eagles to defeat

345
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in the Super Bowl was plus fifty nine hundred.

346
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: It would be a nice little payday. It will cover

347
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 2: an upcoming vacation. Well maybe just no, it'll cover a

348
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: good portion of the vacation if it hits. So I'm

349
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 2: rooting Eagles obviously. I posted O the IG if you care. Anyways,

350
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: we are back tomorrow with a bunch of prop bets.

351
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: Talk to you then,
