Speaker 1: You're tuned into Heat Check with Triste Quick. On this
Speaker 1: episode of the Heat Check, there is a brewing rivalry
Speaker 1: between the Pelicans and the Suns. It's gonna be something
Speaker 1: to watch going forward. Zion is putting himself firmly in
Speaker 1: the MVP race. Rich Paul is, let's be honest, caping
Speaker 1: for Anthony Davis again, and GQ, why isn't anyone talking
Speaker 1: about Kate Cunningham because it looks like he might be
Speaker 1: done for the year. Kate Cunningham might be done for
Speaker 1: the year, and no one is saying a damn thing
Speaker 1: about it. And I explain why Mark Cuban is now
Speaker 1: mad at the Mavericks and also Luca is mad at
Speaker 1: the Mavericks and all the fans are mad at the
Speaker 1: Mavericks again. A lot to get to Oh yeah, boy
Speaker 1: on Bogdanovich might be on the move to the Lakers,
Speaker 1: so ton to get to Nick drop that beat. It's
Speaker 1: getting hot. Sh shit is getting hot between the Phoenix
Speaker 1: Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans. And you know what,
Speaker 1: I am absolutely here for this. So Adam Silver, as
Speaker 1: institute of this weird Baseball schedule, We talked about this
Speaker 1: in a couple episodes ago where teams play each other
Speaker 1: two or three times in the same week, sometimes on
Speaker 1: consecutive days. And it's been attacked, right, It's been attacked
Speaker 1: by Greg Popovich, It's been attacked by other media members
Speaker 1: because it's a playoff institute, a playoff atmosphere, and it's
Speaker 1: not really warranted. We're in the regular season, we shouldn't
Speaker 1: have a playoff atmosphere, right, But I like it. I
Speaker 1: like it because a playoff atmosphere creates rivalries, and that's
Speaker 1: what we need in today's soft ass NBA. More rivalry
Speaker 1: and the birth of a rivalry might just be what
Speaker 1: we got on Friday in the first of a three
Speaker 1: game series between this and the Pelicans, three games in
Speaker 1: the span of one week, tensions. If you remember boiled
Speaker 1: over in the first round series between the Pelicans and
Speaker 1: the Suns, Right, things got very, very spicy. As a
Speaker 1: quick aside to just the rivalry that's brewing and what
Speaker 1: happened on Friday night, because it was awesome. Is Chris
Speaker 1: Paul is Chris Paul the worst? Now? Like what happened.
Speaker 1: I liked Chris Paul for so long. I've been talking
Speaker 1: all kinds of positive things about him. People hate him.
Speaker 1: I've been saying, No, he's a phenomenal leader. He's one
Speaker 1: of the best pass first point guards in the league. No,
Speaker 1: he's not washed, but man, he is a world class
Speaker 1: cheap shot. He's the worst. I am now out on
Speaker 1: Chris Paul. Do you remember when Jose Alvarado essentially ruined
Speaker 1: Chris Paul got under his skin, forced him into a
Speaker 1: backcourt violation, then he picked his pockets in another game,
Speaker 1: Chris Paul started chirping him to get back on defense
Speaker 1: and to not pick his pockets again because he was
Speaker 1: he was Chris pauling Chris Paul. Also, remember when Chris
Speaker 1: Paul kicked Jose Alverado in the nuts in the middle
Speaker 1: of that series. Then after the series calls Jose Alvarado
Speaker 1: Alvarada Ho calls him a hoe. Also, by the way,
Speaker 1: Zion wasn't in that series because he had a foot injury,
Speaker 1: So that's important to note. Because of what happened on Friday,
Speaker 1: Zion wanted to be He wanted to put his imprint
Speaker 1: on this little back and forth that they have going on.
Speaker 1: So this is what happened. During the game. Chris Paul
Speaker 1: continued to be as my grandma would have said, a
Speaker 1: little shit sneaky elbowing Jose Alvarado in the chin as
Speaker 1: he goes by for no reason. They're not even playing
Speaker 1: basketball is nowhere in sight. And after a really tight game,
Speaker 1: the Pelicans pulled away from the Suns late. But I
Speaker 1: really got the son's pissed was that the Pelicans had
Speaker 1: nothing to play for at that point. Game was over,
Speaker 1: and instead of just running the clock out, Zion took
Speaker 1: an outlet pass from I forget who maybe Alvarado and
Speaker 1: proceeded to do a three sixty windmal dunk at the
Speaker 1: buzzer with like two seconds left on the clock. Then
Speaker 1: he flexed for the home crowd. Sons did not like that.
Speaker 1: They did not appreciate that whatsoever. Uh, they went nuts.
Speaker 1: It was a little kerfuffle. You had people fake fighting,
Speaker 1: pushing each other. Refs got involved, Willie Green got involved, literally,
Speaker 1: head coach Willie Green was ready to throw down for
Speaker 1: his team, and was Willy Green's team who initiated it, honestly,
Speaker 1: So it was funny and it was a really good
Speaker 1: announcement that Zion his back. Zion's like, I am so
Speaker 1: healthy that in a meaningless two seconds of a game.
Speaker 1: I am willing to get my bounce and whim mill
Speaker 1: that shit down thirty five points on thirteen for seventeen,
Speaker 1: shooting unstoppable, going downhill in a way I think only
Speaker 1: in the way that Yannis is capable of doing right
Speaker 1: and oh boy, oh boy, perpetual black cloud. Chris Paul
Speaker 1: looked like he was gonna fight. Afterwards, Campaign explained exactly
Speaker 1: why he was pissed, exactly what pissed him off so much.
Speaker 1: He said, the game was pretty much over and they
Speaker 1: kept playing. Feel like that was a little unsportsmanlike. We
Speaker 1: don't really like that. We do the right thing. We
Speaker 1: feel like they should have done the right thing, and
Speaker 1: then they didn't. We don't take that. Well. Come on, now,
Speaker 1: come on, now, let's not act like this isn't the
Speaker 1: same team that saw Jay Crowder cheap shot Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: by stepping on his foot, pushing him in the lower
Speaker 1: back with his left hand, and swiping at his right
Speaker 1: ankle with his right hand. Let's not act like this
Speaker 1: is a team above it, like it's above me. Now,
Speaker 1: we don't do that here, we are the Phoenix Sons,
Speaker 1: a perennial Wait, hold on this is a team that's
Speaker 1: been bad for forever since after Charles Barkley left. Chris
Speaker 1: Paul is constantly throwing chippy elbows at people, constantly doing
Speaker 1: his best Draymond Green impression. Let's call the call off
Speaker 1: the pearl clutching campaign for a second, because I don't
Speaker 1: buy that for one minute? Do you? And my guy
Speaker 1: Eddie Johnson, friend of show, he does a color on
Speaker 1: the broadcasts for the Suns. He had the absolute gall
Speaker 1: to call and say that the anger aimed at Chris
Speaker 1: Paul because Pelicans fans obviously hate him now for a
Speaker 1: myriad of reasons, one being that Chris Paul left at
Speaker 1: the goal to say that the boos were fake, that
Speaker 1: the booze were just merely echoes from some sound machine
Speaker 1: making the stadium and arena louder than it actually is.
Speaker 1: A sound machine to amplify the booze. Get the fuck
Speaker 1: out of here. This is why we'll hold off on.
Speaker 1: This is why DeAndre Ayton, of course, might have been
Speaker 1: the only son with a reasonable response. Essentially, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a home court, he's doing it first fans. I don't
Speaker 1: take any of that stuff personal. I love DeAndre Ayton
Speaker 1: so much. He is so much better than anyone. He's
Speaker 1: too good for the Suns given who they are, and
Speaker 1: Zion he had this to say, that.
Speaker 2: Was at lot of character for me. But you gotta understand,
Speaker 2: I mean, you can understand it or not. They sent
Speaker 2: my teammates home last year. I missed all last year.
Speaker 2: I got carried away a little bit. I admit that.
Speaker 2: But you know I was in that locker room. My
Speaker 2: brothers were down because you know, the Sun sent us
Speaker 2: home last year. That would that's a tough moment to
Speaker 2: be a part of. So in that moment I got
Speaker 2: carried away. I admit that I was out of character
Speaker 2: for me. So you know, if they was to do
Speaker 2: the same thing, I wouldn't have no problem with it.
Speaker 1: If they were to do the same thing, wouldn't have
Speaker 1: a problem with it. Unfortunately, the Sons don't have anyone
Speaker 1: athletic enough to do that. So I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but if Zion keeps playing this way, there's gonna win MVP. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're the number one in the West. He's averaging twenty
Speaker 1: five seven and four with a steal gets blocks all time.
Speaker 1: If he has even a modicum, as my mom would say,
Speaker 1: a modicum of defense, and they continue to play this way.
Speaker 1: Number one in the West, and Zion is doing three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty degree windmills at the end of games,
Speaker 1: causing a scuffle to the point where it becomes Sports
Speaker 1: Center first take, and you know what time it is.
Speaker 1: That's how MVP are born. Stay healthy, Zion and listen
Speaker 1: his odds on Thursday night, fifty to one to win
Speaker 1: the MVP. His odds today twenty to one to win MVP.
Speaker 1: That is what we call diminishing value. You should probably
Speaker 1: jump on Zion tickets right now. And you know what's
Speaker 1: crazy is outside of that fight, the media hasn't set
Speaker 1: a peep, myself included. We are just hoping and praying
Speaker 1: Zion is a bust, don't we. It's like we are
Speaker 1: just thinking that maybe he'll tear something or erode or
Speaker 1: break a toe or just get fat again. Who knows.
Speaker 1: We're just weighted with baited breath to see if something
Speaker 1: wrong goes on. Because Zion as this version of Zion
Speaker 1: and the team that's the number one in the West.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, they are fast, they are deep, they have
Speaker 1: stars everywhere. This team is a killer, and I think
Speaker 1: that they are the most dangerous team to any contending
Speaker 1: team based on this roster alone. And the last question
Speaker 1: that I have because I was thinking about this when
Speaker 1: every Son was bitching and complaining and moaning and saying
Speaker 1: about unsportsmanship and blah blah blah and how unlikable they are.
Speaker 1: I have rowed for the Sons. My grandmother loved the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. But are they the most unlike? Are the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Sons the most unlikable team in the NBA right now?
Speaker 1: People absolutely hate them. People absolutely hate Chris Paul and
Speaker 1: now that hate is extending to Devin Booker. I don't
Speaker 1: know why that is, but they hate him too, probably
Speaker 1: because they both fucked the Kardashian and you've got Campaign.
Speaker 1: They don't like Campaign. He's kind of a little bit
Speaker 1: of a unsportsmanlike himself. Jay Crowdery when he was on
Speaker 1: that team, was very much dislike. The only likable player
Speaker 1: on the team is DeAndre Ayden, and he wanted out.
Speaker 1: Rich Paul of Clutch Sports I had to quickly quickly,
Speaker 1: we just need to. I had a debate with a
Speaker 1: friend today. It's not going well. It's not going well.
Speaker 1: Uh So my my thought was that Rich Paul was
Speaker 1: more famous than Mark Cuban, and I put a Twitter
Speaker 1: poll out He's not. He's not. He's not even close.
Speaker 1: It's like ninety one percent to nine, and the nine
Speaker 1: feels generous, you know what I mean. I just figured
Speaker 1: people weren't watching Shark Tank anymore, you know. So, And
Speaker 1: with Rich Paul dating Adele, I thought Rich Paul was
Speaker 1: a bigger star than this. Needless to say, Rich Paul
Speaker 1: is in GQ right now. Rich Paul, now I have
Speaker 1: to say who he is. I guess super agent to
Speaker 1: every NBA player and certainly every laker under the star.
Speaker 1: Rich Paul was in Condon, Nast and GQ because he's
Speaker 1: writing a memoir, and so they're talking about it. And
Speaker 1: in that feature he starts talking about the unfair criticism
Speaker 1: that has been levied against his greatest client, Anthony day
Speaker 1: to Day Street Clothes Davis. Is that unfair? Is that unfair?
Speaker 1: Is that what he's talking about when we call Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis day to Day Davis? Is that what he's talking about?
Speaker 1: I think it might be according to Paul, Rich Paul superagent.
Speaker 1: He says, I think the first thing is you've just
Speaker 1: got to understand media and the media has a job.
Speaker 1: Some of it is scripted like this right here, and
Speaker 1: some of it is based on analytics, which is true.
Speaker 1: Some of it is based on viewership. When you talk
Speaker 1: about these topics day to day, Davis, you see your
Speaker 1: rise in viewership. And so the media, as it pertains
Speaker 1: to any player, but especially Ad, they're gonna kick you
Speaker 1: when you're down. Over the last couple of years, he's
Speaker 1: had some really freak situations. Guy gets pushed into his
Speaker 1: knee and then I think the one before that, or
Speaker 1: the year before that was a hamstring or a grind,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. It's so many injuries he doesn't even remember.
Speaker 1: Those are the things that happen when you play the sport.
Speaker 1: It's almost like Rich Paul is trying to hide the
Speaker 1: fact that and doesn't want anyone to know that. Day
Speaker 1: to day Davis has I don't know, a degenerative condition,
Speaker 1: which means gets worse over time. It's not just a
Speaker 1: freak fluke thing. This is something that's gonna continue to
Speaker 1: persist and be an issue. And listen, Anthony Davis has
Speaker 1: been amazing this year. But if I had to say
Speaker 1: which one breaks down first, Anthony Davis or the Lebron James.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Anthony Davis and Lebron James is thirty
Speaker 1: eight years old, damn near. And he also addressed the
Speaker 1: concerns that Anthony Davis is soft. Is he soft though?
Speaker 1: That's the question. People act like, Oh, he's just hoping
Speaker 1: to go out and get injured, or oh the guy
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play. Its stupidity at times, but that's
Speaker 1: what comes with it. He also took an opportunity to
Speaker 1: answer the claims that he has strong armed certain teams
Speaker 1: to take on clutch clients. This is why I thought
Speaker 1: Rich Paul was so famous because he represents pretty much
Speaker 1: every big NBA player, and he's with adel and he
Speaker 1: brings his liquor with Adele to the games. So I
Speaker 1: thought he was bigger than he was seemumpy. This is
Speaker 1: what he said. In some cases, that's gonna be playing
Speaker 1: with other clients, whether it's Dejonte Murray and Trey Young
Speaker 1: both clutch clients, or when we had Darius Garland and
Speaker 1: Calling Sexton playing together in Cleveland, or Zach Levine and
Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball in Chicago. But when that type of stuff happens,
Speaker 1: I think it's I'm trying to use the right word here.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say stupidity. I would say it's
Speaker 1: the lack of education as it pertains to the sport
Speaker 1: and the business of the sport. I don't want to
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the right word here, but I
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's stupidity. But you have all
Speaker 1: of the LA Lakers are your clients, all of them,
Speaker 1: Like you're just gonna sit there and pretend like we
Speaker 1: don't know that nine Lakers or whatever it is are
Speaker 1: clutch clients and nine of them and we don't mean stars,
Speaker 1: we mean like Lonnie Walker. I mean damn near Austin Reeves.
Speaker 1: You know, like all your clients are on this team.
Speaker 1: This man, Rich Paul is wild safe to say that
Speaker 1: super Agent Rich Paul not a fan of probably my
Speaker 1: TikTok account, probably this podcast. And I'm pretty sure that
Speaker 1: clutches a whole not super stoked on me. But they
Speaker 1: are the two biggest areas where he can't control the narrative.
Speaker 1: And as for the NBA, he's gonna continue to get
Speaker 1: his choke hold on it, one NBA client at a
Speaker 1: time because it is very clear that he and Lebron
Speaker 1: will try to own a team and they will try
Speaker 1: to create a larger power circle day by day. Is
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham going to be out for the season? Why
Speaker 1: isn't anyone speaking about this? Well? Why is this not?
Speaker 1: I haven't heard of peep? What is happening with Caid Cunningham,
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick in two years ago his
Speaker 1: draft for the Detroit Pistons. If you don't know what's
Speaker 1: happening with Kaid Cunningham, if you don't know that anything
Speaker 1: is actually happening with Kid Cunningham, join the club, Join
Speaker 1: the club. No one seems to know, and the people
Speaker 1: who do know, they are mom They are saying nothing.
Speaker 1: The rumors now are that Kid Cunningham might be done
Speaker 1: for the season. What No, not Kid Cunningham, not bus
Speaker 1: face Cunningham. No, the rumors are that he might be
Speaker 1: done for the season. Some people are saying, though, that
Speaker 1: this could be a nightmare scenario for the Pistons. Why
Speaker 1: isn't anyone talking about this? Why? Why isn't this news?
Speaker 1: Why isn't this on the Jump or whatever NBA today
Speaker 1: is called. Now, this is the first overall pick in
Speaker 1: last year's draft, and he has now missed sixteen straight games,
Speaker 1: and we're not in game forty five. We're in game
Speaker 1: like twenty three, right like twenty five. There is zero
Speaker 1: evidence when or if he'll be back anytime soon. What
Speaker 1: is happening. According to multiple reports, he's being sidelined with
Speaker 1: what is being reported as a stress fracture to his shin.
Speaker 1: It was reported when he went out that he's going
Speaker 1: to decide quickly whether he wants to have surgery or not.
Speaker 1: That was a month ago, clearly not a quick decision.
Speaker 1: Month later, no news, nothing from Detroit's front office. The
Speaker 1: question is why. Well, according to Pistons beat writer Aaron Kellerstrass,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much been radio silence from the Pistons, which
Speaker 1: makes him to wonder whether they even know what Kate
Speaker 1: is ultimately going to decide. If you're a team and
Speaker 1: you don't even know what your star player is going
Speaker 1: to do, and that let's just be very clear that
Speaker 1: surgery is season ending, and you are the worst team
Speaker 1: in the league right now, we've got real issues, folks.
Speaker 1: Like that is the nightmare scenario if Kate continues to
Speaker 1: waffle on whether he has surgery, which will one hundred
Speaker 1: percent and his season and his rehab will absolutely continue
Speaker 1: into the off season, in putting him in danger also
Speaker 1: of missing part of the next season as well. I
Speaker 1: will be bad. I would say that would be bad.
Speaker 1: This is why a shin stress fact fracture is very
Speaker 1: very tough, very very dangerous. Stress fractures Doctor Crick paging,
Speaker 1: Doctor Crick time. Stress fractures small breaks in the bones
Speaker 1: that result from the accumulation of repetitive stresses on that bone.
Speaker 1: They're most commonly caused by biomechanical abnormalities such as high
Speaker 1: or low arches, rotation of the hips, or weakness of
Speaker 1: muscle groups that add additional stress to the bones. So
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. Let's just you guys. Want to
Speaker 1: know some names people with some stress fractures that have
Speaker 1: bothered them over time. Yao Ming Yao Ming had a
Speaker 1: stress fracture. Joel m Beat had a stress fracture. Blake
Speaker 1: Griffin lost a year to his stress fracture, but more
Speaker 1: troubling as a Portland Trailblazer, Fan Zambuie had a stress
Speaker 1: fracture to his tibia. Greg Odin had a stress fracture
Speaker 1: to his tibia. I mean this could be career ending.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that his career is in danger of
Speaker 1: being over. But what I'm saying is, if you're the
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons, you know those scenarios like the back your hand.
Speaker 1: You know that there's a possibility that Kai Cunningham isn't
Speaker 1: done growing yet. When this stress fracture is happening, it
Speaker 1: may never heal. Ever, the big deal for a team
Speaker 1: like the Pistons that has Jaden Ivy and Kate Cunningham
Speaker 1: the number one and the number what five overall pick?
Speaker 1: They have lost now in an entire season. They are
Speaker 1: not going to be good. They are done. Even if
Speaker 1: Kate was to come back, didn't have surgery, he will
Speaker 1: be back at minimum by All Star break, which is February. Now,
Speaker 1: you've got issues with Jalen Duran. He's been on and
Speaker 1: off the floor. Jaden Ivy's trying to get himself, chemistry
Speaker 1: with the team, everything that they were trying to do
Speaker 1: out the window. Very fun, very exciting team now not
Speaker 1: so fun, not very exciting. And what does that mean?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Means? Probably everyone is about to go.
Speaker 1: Everyone who's not a part of the core. You are expendable.
Speaker 1: This is the first team we can now say is
Speaker 1: legitimately tanking. We now have them. They are the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 1: It is now a garage sale. A garage sale. No
Speaker 1: one knows when we're gonna see Kate again, So that
Speaker 1: means we've got pieces to sell, folks, and that leads
Speaker 1: us to our next segment. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons are doing to boy On Bogdanovich, but it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's very confusing. They trade for him, great trade to
Speaker 1: get him. They just had to get Kelly Olnik and
Speaker 1: I think a second round pick. But Boyon was extended immediately.
Speaker 1: He's on an expiring deal. They extended for two more
Speaker 1: years on a young, exciting team, and you wonder to yourself,
Speaker 1: why is that Troy locked him down to a two year,
Speaker 1: thirty nine point one million dollar extension. He was supposed
Speaker 1: to be some big part of the Piston's future until
Speaker 1: two things happened. One, Pistons stink like I just said,
Speaker 1: they stink. Seven and twenty two they sit atop the standings.
Speaker 1: That is the worst record in the NBA again again. Second,
Speaker 1: as we mentioned in the last segment, no one knows
Speaker 1: when Kate Cunningham is coming back. If he's coming back,
Speaker 1: he could be done for the season. Five of the
Speaker 1: seven Pistons wins came with Kate in the lineup. That's
Speaker 1: it's time for Victor Wamba yama, folks, and if it's
Speaker 1: time to tank, if it's time to play like shit
Speaker 1: for Vic, it's time to go full send mode, which
Speaker 1: means the Pistons are actually considering the guy that they
Speaker 1: just extended boy on Bogdanovich, despite the fact that the team,
Speaker 1: the fan base, the front office all really really like him.
Speaker 1: Guess who covets him. Team needs some three point shooting,
Speaker 1: needs someone to be able to playmate, create, get into
Speaker 1: the mid range. Yeah, the Los Angeles Lakers, that's who.
Speaker 1: And it makes sense right six', seven he's a three
Speaker 1: point shooting. Sniper he unlocked tons of spacing for. Them
Speaker 1: right now this, year he's shooting twenty one to four
Speaker 1: and two forty four percent from, three ninety percent nearly
Speaker 1: from the free throw. Line and this is on a terrible.
Speaker 1: Team imagine what he could do if he gets some open.
Speaker 1: Looks so The lakers, Decided, okay we're gonna put forth and. Offer,
Speaker 1: right they put forth and offer to The. Pistons that's
Speaker 1: centered around one of their two first, rounders as we
Speaker 1: would have thought that they. Might but because It's Rob
Speaker 1: polinka and he's a sline, ball there were protections attached
Speaker 1: because The lakers know they're not very, good And Troy
Speaker 1: weaver could not have said no fast, enough, Right he's,
Speaker 1: like absolutely fucking not go away. By and that is
Speaker 1: because anyone trading with The lakers is betting That polinka
Speaker 1: has put this team in such a bad position that
Speaker 1: the protections. Matter we can't have no. PROTECTIONS i don't
Speaker 1: even want to top one protection from. You, okay like
Speaker 1: no protections. Period and of course that's pretty much what
Speaker 1: everyone is reporting. Now Rob polinkett is trying to hold
Speaker 1: up a bank with his little baby score. Gun we don't.
Speaker 1: Know we know you have no, guns we know you
Speaker 1: have no, artillery we know you have no. Leverage so
Speaker 1: we know. It he knows. It he can do nothing
Speaker 1: but just offer things in the wind and hope that something.
Speaker 1: Manifests and The, pistons the reputation for decision making has
Speaker 1: been so bad for so, long and yet they will
Speaker 1: not be fleeced by The. Lakers they will. Not the
Speaker 1: regime now is not dumb they are not the dumbest
Speaker 1: regime out on the streets. Anymore that belongs to THE La.
Speaker 1: Lakers and so of course they're insisting on a fully
Speaker 1: unprotected future first and any. Deal so who will blink?
Speaker 1: First my, Guess, lakers if you want boy, on give
Speaker 1: us your twenty twenty five first round pick. Unprotected he's
Speaker 1: locked up for two more years on top of this
Speaker 1: one for a pretty good, deal twenty million dollars a.
Speaker 1: Year you just take. Him he's. Yours we'll. SEE i,
Speaker 1: MEAN i am. BETTING i am betting that he stays
Speaker 1: A detroit. Piston. Though as for The, lakers everyone's putting
Speaker 1: the squeeze on him. Right no one is gonna Be
Speaker 1: Rob plink is Little. Huckleberry he's not. Gonna if you
Speaker 1: think he can do What Danny age, did you're a.
Speaker 1: Mistaken it's either unprotected first or, nothing and nothing means
Speaker 1: MORE La lakers, mediocrity which means more happiness for. Me
Speaker 1: so we talked about how bad The mavericks were last.
Speaker 1: WEEK i want to Say, Monday, tuesday MAYBE i. Forget
Speaker 1: it's all blurring. Together but NO nba owner right now
Speaker 1: is more unhappy with his team Than Dallas mavericks Owner
Speaker 1: Shark Tank Equity Square Wheezer Mark. Cuban so we did
Speaker 1: talk about how the season went off the, rails. Right
Speaker 1: we talked about How luca is very, unhappy and How
Speaker 1: Jason kidd's playing is just really coaching above his skis right.
Speaker 1: Now he's not handling the lineup, great Especially Christian. Wood
Speaker 1: so the question is, this what's pissing Off Mark? Cuban,
Speaker 1: no what is Chopping Mark cuban's shark tink? Ass, well
Speaker 1: his team is, awful, awful awful. Awful what are the
Speaker 1: worst in shooting free? Throws they are the second worst
Speaker 1: team in the. League to be, exact they shoot seventy
Speaker 1: two point three percent from the charity. Stripe only The
Speaker 1: Memphis grizzlies are, worse which is a whole other thing
Speaker 1: that we can talk about some other. Day it is the, lowest,
Speaker 1: though that The mavericks have ever ranked in free throw
Speaker 1: shooting in their. History they once finished twenty seventh and
Speaker 1: free throw shooting in nineteen ninety two nineteen ninety, three
Speaker 1: and that team won exactly eleven. Games think about. That
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two nineteen ninety, three they are twenty
Speaker 1: seventh in the league better than they are now at
Speaker 1: free throw, shooting and they won eleven games With Tim.
Speaker 1: Legler no Shaded Tim legler like him And Mark cuban
Speaker 1: is having none of. This he unloaded on The Dallas
Speaker 1: Morning news decided to go full. Nuclear he was, like,
Speaker 1: YEAH i Told Jason, KIDD i Told Michael finley to
Speaker 1: figure it. Out they know it's an. Issue it's not
Speaker 1: like we don't see the box. Scores it's not something we.
Speaker 1: Ignore that's for damn. Sure it's not, like, ah it's
Speaker 1: just gonna work out in the. End this is something
Speaker 1: we have to work. On he even bitched To Nico
Speaker 1: harrison as well several times about. This and let's face,
Speaker 1: It nico has enough on his plate right. Now he's
Speaker 1: got to defend The Kemba walker. Move he's got to
Speaker 1: defend The Facundo composo. Move so that's who knows how
Speaker 1: that's gonna. Be but all of us to say WHAT
Speaker 1: nba owner is like in the weeds on your free throw,
Speaker 1: shooting like this is, Madness Like Mark cuban is a,
Speaker 1: maniac AND i get. It you're thirty twenty ninth in
Speaker 1: free throw. Percentage that's. Bad but Like Mark, cuban don't
Speaker 1: you have some like new sham wows to, Approve LIKE
Speaker 1: i don't know? What? Who what are we doing? Here
Speaker 1: you think he'd be too busy complaining about why he
Speaker 1: Let lori outmaneuver him for the Scrub daddy, right like
Speaker 1: to read Through MAVs, stats like what are we talking?
Speaker 1: About it's twenty five games in the. Season you Have Luka,
Speaker 1: Doncic but here we are, anyway he wasn't. Done cuban also, said,
Speaker 1: literally we would probably have five more wins if we
Speaker 1: could shoot free. Throws it's just the way it. Goes
Speaker 1: we went through the same things last, year and for whatever,
Speaker 1: reason it's been Our achilles. Heel another, season crippling deficiency
Speaker 1: that was not. Addressed looking like things are not very
Speaker 1: sunny for the future Of Jason kidd And Nico, harrison
Speaker 1: an Unhappy, LUCA a front office that Thought Facundo compazo
Speaker 1: And Kemba walker to Replace Jalen brunson was a GOOD
Speaker 1: idea team is shooting five percent worse than they were
Speaker 1: last year when it was Their achilles. Heel changes are
Speaker 1: coming In, dallas and it might happen sooner than. Later
Speaker 1: and remember remember they Asked Mark cuban how Important luca
Speaker 1: was to, them and he, said if it was Between
Speaker 1: luca and my, Wife i'm going down to the courthouse
Speaker 1: and filing for a. Divorce so you better believe he's
Speaker 1: going to do everything he can to Keep Luca donges
Speaker 1: happy and so that might mean deuces for everyone. Else
Speaker 1: speaking Of, dallas we need to address the fact That
Speaker 1: luca is also unhappy without the season is. Going since
Speaker 1: The MAVs only win when he wins thirty, points scores
Speaker 1: thirty points or, more you might think that's. Why you
Speaker 1: might think it's because Of Jason kidd putting in someone
Speaker 1: else Besides Christian, wood the fact that they Replaced Jalen
Speaker 1: brunson with some. Scrubs, no it's not why you'd think
Speaker 1: that was Why luca was. Mad but it's not you'd be.
Speaker 1: Wrong here's the latest tea according TO nba Reporter Albury,
Speaker 1: wynn who was sitting courtside at the Game bucks Versus
Speaker 1: MAVs awesome game went down to the. Wire he, SAID
Speaker 1: i was sitting court side tonight And luca was visibly
Speaker 1: upset at the coaching staff the entire second. Half anytime
Speaker 1: he had a. Chance he looked over to the. Bench
Speaker 1: this play to end the game was the final. Nail
Speaker 1: he didn't talk to. Anyone he stormed off the. Court
Speaker 1: what was his final? Nail what was the play to
Speaker 1: end the? Game, well they had like five seconds left
Speaker 1: out of bounds play and apparently the bucks knew exactly
Speaker 1: what they were. Running luca knew that the bucks knew
Speaker 1: the final, play but he's trying to alert the coaching.
Speaker 1: Staff and it was like the they were in a.
Speaker 1: Trance they had no ability to See luca looking at,
Speaker 1: him trying to give him the. Hate hey look at, Me,
Speaker 1: hey this is. Bad we gotta scratch, this we gotta
Speaker 1: do something. Else, instead they sat around with their glazed,
Speaker 1: eyes holding their, dicks doing nothing. New and of course
Speaker 1: the play got blown. Up of course The MAVs. Lost of,
Speaker 1: course it was Like Drew holliday had to do nothing
Speaker 1: just to get switched back Onto, luca their best defender
Speaker 1: On luca having to take a forty foot or to
Speaker 1: win the. Game, yeah and after the, Game luka thinks to,
Speaker 1: say he, said we gotta work on. That they pre.
Speaker 1: SWITCHED i think there was a little miscommunication with the.
Speaker 1: PLAYERS i just wanted him to, slip SO i didn't
Speaker 1: Have drew on. Me, yeah, no, shit you don't Want
Speaker 1: drew on, You like that's the worst person to have on.
Speaker 1: You and it happened to be the same final play
Speaker 1: The MAVs had used pretty much in previous. Games that
Speaker 1: got sussed. Out why are you running the same out
Speaker 1: of bounds play in multiple games in a? Row? Why
Speaker 1: why are you doing? That do you? Not do you
Speaker 1: have like four? Plays what's? Happening they did the same
Speaker 1: thing against The. Raptors they did the same thing against The. Rockets,
Speaker 1: basically it ends up with a busted, play With lucas
Speaker 1: shooting and chucking a contested forty footer and. Losing, luca of,
Speaker 1: course doesn't speak to. Anyone he storms. Off can you blame?
Speaker 1: Him this is? Bullshit he Had Rick carlyle and now
Speaker 1: he Has Jason. Kidd is this man gonna get anyone
Speaker 1: who's creative or competent or has any idea of what
Speaker 1: the MODERN nba looks. Like this is the slowest pace
Speaker 1: of play team in THE. NBA i don't think it's
Speaker 1: all because Of luca's. FATNESS i really. DON'T i don't
Speaker 1: think it's the only. REASON i have questions, like are
Speaker 1: we still running This Rick carlile system In? Dallas is
Speaker 1: This lucas? SYSTEM i, mean this coaching staff has absolutely zero,
Speaker 1: bag like. None this is so, Bad this is so so.
Speaker 1: Bad if this doesn't get cleaned up, Fast Jason kid's
Speaker 1: gonna hope upon hope That Frank vogel gets hired again
Speaker 1: so that he can sit on His that's the, Up,
Speaker 1: like that is the absolute best case scenario For Jason
Speaker 1: kidd if, this if this team doesn't get figured out,
Speaker 1: FAST i, mean Maybe charlotte go To, Charlotte Jason, kidd
Speaker 1: because if you can't win With giannis And, LUCA i
Speaker 1: don't know if you're cut out for this coaching. THING
Speaker 1: i really. Don't Is Aunt edwards better Without Carl Anthony.
Speaker 1: Towns it's a very important question to. Ask remember the
Speaker 1: first month of the, Season ant hadn't had a single
Speaker 1: dunk all, year and people were, like what's going on
Speaker 1: With Aunt? Edwards was wrong With Ann? Edwards was wrong
Speaker 1: with The Minnesota. Timberwolves turns, out of, course as we,
Speaker 1: know it's a spacing. Issue Rudy gobert And Carl Anthony
Speaker 1: towns were such a disaster, together that ant had no,
Speaker 1: idea where to, be where to, go what to. Do
Speaker 1: what has happened Since Carl Anthony towns has headed to
Speaker 1: the ir can't an has been. Unleashed he's been absolutely a.
Speaker 1: Monster he is averaging twenty five and five with four
Speaker 1: point four steels per game Since Karl Anthony town's got?
Speaker 1: Hurt are you? Serious four point four steals per game is?
Speaker 1: Absurd that is. Absurd the reason why he's going to
Speaker 1: the rim, again he's, Dunking he's driving so. Much ask
Speaker 1: why he's driving so? Much, Well i'm just. Going i'm
Speaker 1: not thinking about doing too many. Moves i'm just trying
Speaker 1: to play off the catch and play. Faster, GEE i
Speaker 1: wonder what was the? CHANGE i wonder what makes him
Speaker 1: be able to operate, faster more, space like a, free
Speaker 1: open wide. PLANE i don't, Know maybe the lack of
Speaker 1: another seven footer known to be slightly, soft slightly. Bitchy
Speaker 1: i'm gonna make a bold take Care Carl Anthony town's gotta.
Speaker 1: Go he's gotta. Go it's either go bet or It's
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony. Towns you can't have. Both And i'm pretty
Speaker 1: Sure Aunt edwards would agree with. Me, there, boy oh,
Speaker 1: boy did that go bear trade turn in to one
Speaker 1: of the least fun moves IN nba. History there's AN
Speaker 1: nba star that is being sued by literally everyone who is,
Speaker 1: It probably the nicest guy in THE. Nba it's raining
Speaker 1: lawsuits And Steph curry has absolutely zero. Umbrella we know
Speaker 1: he doesn't have an umbrella because he's got like six kids.
Speaker 1: TOO a huge number of big stars In hollywood and
Speaker 1: sports being sued over their connection to the ponzi scheme
Speaker 1: known AS. Ftx you guys remember that he was, LIKE
Speaker 1: i don't need to know anything about, crypto like literally looking,
Speaker 1: back probably not a great advertising. CAMPAIGN i remember they're
Speaker 1: a crypto. Exchange they had these nerdy, founders and those
Speaker 1: nerdy founders stole literally billions of dollars from their clients
Speaker 1: and then they lost it all in this like nerd
Speaker 1: term called arbitrage. Trading running point for the celebrities promoting this,
Speaker 1: Fraud Steph, Curry but he gets. Worse so The Golden,
Speaker 1: State Golden boy not only being sued for promoting, crypto
Speaker 1: but he's also being sued over THE Nft ponzi scheme
Speaker 1: known as the Board Ape Yacht CLUB i didn't even
Speaker 1: know that was a. Thing did you guys? Know google?
Speaker 1: This people argue that the Board Ape Yacht club was
Speaker 1: founded by. Racists this is, crazy intending to make gross
Speaker 1: racial stereotypes and passing them off as. Cool who could
Speaker 1: possibly make someone with the squeaky clean of his image
Speaker 1: Of steph get involved in NFTs and? CRYPTO i don't.
Speaker 1: Know bad advice people also very very probably greed as.

Speaker 1: non fungible tokens As Steph curry, does AND i know
Speaker 1: less than. NOTHING i don't even know why a screenshot

Speaker 1: the difference between me And Steph curry IS i haven't
Speaker 1: lost any money on, crypto AND i haven't lost anyone
Speaker 1: else money on, crypto And i'm not being sued for
Speaker 1: losing other people's money on. Crypto in both, suits they're
Speaker 1: trying to determine the level of liability that Is Steph.
Speaker 1: Curry's but there's billions of dollars missing and the courts
