31
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: one twenty seven one t D low It out standing

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: night twenty nine points five to seven from three, AD

Speaker 1: twenty eight points, twelve rebounds, nine assists, Lebron twenty five

00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,160

Speaker 1: points on two or two from three, seven assists. Luca

Speaker 1: had a triple double thirty three thirteen and ten. Kyrie

00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: after that nasty spill, came back to score double figures

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: twelve points. What did you like about what you saw

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: from the Lakers tonight. I'm loving the lineup. I'm loving

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna lie, you know, just as a hooper, just as

41
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: a Hooper, who's been there, who's been a score You know,

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: you're putting more you know, offensive power on the floor.

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: It kind of helps the start. So the fact that

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: you know, the last three games, you know, our two guards,

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: which is you know Reeves andd Lo has been putting

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: up big numbers that yes it was a d and

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Lebron rest.

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: They don't have to just you know, tot all that weight.

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: So I mean the last three games fifty eight from

50
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: those two twenty nine and tonight.

51
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: Forty three, which is what the Lakers need.

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: They need that type of output from two other players

53
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: on the team. So this is a new starting line

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: up d Low Auster Reeves in the back court with

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: Lebron Ad and Tatorian Prince in the front court.

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: So you like this starting lineup.

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: You feel to give them more offensive firepower, so Lebron

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: and Ad doesn't have to shoulder so much of the scoring.

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: When you have guys, when you have guys like Cam

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: and you have guys like Vando in the starting lineup, yes,

61
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: of course, I mean you can't put bench players in

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: the starting lineup, but then they're gonna be starters. No,

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: they're bench players, right, They just got getting started a minute.

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: So it kind of hurts the star player when you

65
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: have guys that's in there that actually can contribute in

66
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: the way that you need, you know, And that's what

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: the lineup was hurting during this stretch after the nd

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: season tournament. So the fact that he's went back to

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: his original lineup, you know, we should see a better

70
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: product out there. I liked what I saw from d

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Lo tonight. He seemed like he was a lot more aggressive.

72
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: He seems a lot more confident, and I think he's

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: a guy that you have to show confidence in because

74
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: it seems like he's it is easy to break his

75
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: confidence when you start jack with his minutes. You play

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: him two or three minutes, and you pull him out

77
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: when he makes a bad pass or he missed a

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: shoot some air ball, it jacks with his mind. If

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: you watch him tonight and you see how aggressive he

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: was from start to finish, looking to get his shot,

81
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: looking to get Downhill, did a great job of doing

82
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: the inbound pass or to a D, the entry pass

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: to a D.

84
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: I thought he was six.

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was him and Ad that really got

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers off to the.

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: Start that they needed.

88
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've always said it man, I said, you know,

89
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: a pit bull with all the leash is more scarier

90
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: than the pit bull with one. So when you're near,

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, yankin players out. You know, whenever they make

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: a mistake, they don't want to be aggressive. They just

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: want to be in there not making mistakes versus just

94
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: going out there just being themselves. So the fact that

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: the last three games, you know, Delo's got to be

96
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, who we know him to be, you know,

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: has been, has been helping with this starting lineup, Dlo Reeves,

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: Lebron Torrion a A D. What should we expect moving forward

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: forward with this off with this lineup, I.

100
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: Think more consistent playing right.

101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna be able to keep up with

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: faster teams, teams that like to score. I'm fine with

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: Prince in the lineup, depending on who we're playing against.

104
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: But you know, as long as he's aggressive, my thing

105
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: is just be aggressive. It's like being a receiver, right

106
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: you're not getting the ball, still running the route like

107
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna get.

108
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: It to the ball, right. You know some.

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Guys know way if they ain't getting the ball, they're

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna like I ain't even you know, which is the deep.

111
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: If you run your route how you're supposed to, even

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: though you're not getting it.

113
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: It helps the rest of the team.

114
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: As long as he's taking the shots that are open

115
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: and making himself a threat, I'm fine with him in

116
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: that lineup.

117
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: I love what I'm saying for Anthony Davis.

118
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: Not only has he been in the starting lineup, he's

119
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: only missed what two or three ball games. I love

120
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: his aggressiveness. This is the Anthony Davis that we need

121
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: to see. A guy that's giving us twenty six, twenty

122
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: seven points on a nightly basis, giving us somewhere between

123
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: twelve and ten and fifteen rebounds on a nightly basis,

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: and now he's added the assist to his game because

125
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: he almost got a trouble double tonight, and I wish

126
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: d Ham would have left him in the game and

127
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: let him get that one more assist so he could

128
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: have a triple double. But I love what I'm seeing

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: from Anthony Davis. He's aggressive, he's defending. You know, he's

130
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: playing both he always plays both ends. But I like, like,

131
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: hold on, man, these guys can't guard me.

132
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: Man.

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Let me get this chrispy Kreeme and the hot sign

134
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: is on, so let me let me, let me cook it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

135
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: he got he got new legs this year. I mean

136
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: he was he was banbi legs for the last two years.

137
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: You know, you know anything from the waist down. We

138
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: don't know who legs was those.

139
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: You know that might his.

140
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Mama's side of the family, because you know.

141
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: He got his daddy side this year. He got his

142
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: daddy legs this year.

143
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: So you know, he's been playing great, playing consistent. You know,

144
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: it was never his play that we was worried about

145
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: it. It was just can he be on the floor, And

146
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: he has proven that, so we we in good money. Yeah,

147
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: this is the Anthony Davis that we saw when he

148
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: originally got to the Lakers in twenty twenty. This is

149
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: a consistent Anthony Davis giving us points, rebounds, defending on

150
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: the defensive end, and he's, like I said, he's adding

151
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: assists on a nightly basis, doing a better job of

152
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: passing the basketball. So this is a guy as long

153
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: as we're gonna get this kind of Look, I'm not

154
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: expecting Dlo to give us twenty nine on the nightly basis,

155
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: but I am expecting him to be aggressive on a

156
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: nightly basis, and then you let the chips fall where

157
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: they may gill as long as you're aggressive, look to

158
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: put pressure on the defense. And A D and Lebron, Hey,

159
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna get where they're gonna get. They're gonna get theirs.

160
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna give you somewhere between fifty and sixty points

161
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: on a nightly basis. Now, can you come to the table,

162
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: give us somewhere between seventeen and twenty. Austin Reeves is

163
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna be Austin Reeves on a nightly basis. And now

164
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna ask the bench. We're gonna ask guys like

165
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Torrian Prince, We're gonna ask Ruid, We're gonna ask Christian Woods. Okay,

166
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: A C. Doub, we need you to pitch in tonight.

167
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Give twelve and six.

168
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

169
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I think sometimes players get in their own heads when

170
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: you know they don't know what their role is. And

171
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, I try to always tell players, look, play

172
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: play the style that makes you scary the guard.

173
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: Okay, right, be that person.

174
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: Like if you're playing against Steph Curry, what makes you

175
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: fear him him being aggressive?

176
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: Then you be aggressive? Correct?

177
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: Right? You know, the easiest person to guard is a

178
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: guy that you know is not gonna do nothing tonight. Right,

179
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: he's mad at the coach, he's mad at the team.

180
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: He's sitting there powering. That's the easiest assignment in the world.

181
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: If I can read Joe, if I can read the

182
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: box sheet and know how you play the game, you

183
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: need to switch it up.

184
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: Meaning, all right, you got.

185
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: Twelve shots, eight of the twelve or threes, right, you

186
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: got no free throws?

187
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: Okay, you're a jump shooter, right.

188
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: So I know when you drive, you're gonna pull up,

189
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: You're never gonna go all the way, or you're gonna

190
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: sit there and shoot the three. Don't be don't be

191
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: stat sheet guardable, right, And that's that's where Delo then

192
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: was what was to be at the in the middle

193
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: of in the middle of the in the middle of

194
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: the season.

195
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you look at it. You know Luke Luca's

196
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: gonna be aggressive.

197
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: You know Kyrie is looking to get his So you

198
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: need to keep pressure on them.

199
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: So make them guard.

200
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: Don't let don't let them have so much energy on

201
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: the offensive end that they punish you on your defensive end. Yes,

202
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: and make them make them guard. Take a little sting.

203
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: I look, Luca's gonna.

204
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: Get his Kyrie. You know Kyrie had an all night

205
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: shooting the ball tonight.

206
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: But you know, on a given night he can go

207
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: get thirty to forty in the drop of a drop

208
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: of a hat and make.

209
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: It look easy doing it.

210
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: And we know Luca, Luca make the difficult looks routine

211
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: because some of the shots that he's gonna hit.

212
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: But you can't get frustrated.

213
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Guys like Luca is easy to get frustrated because you

214
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: look at it like, how the hell you make that?

215
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: Man?

216
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we got two guys on you, and basically

217
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: it seems like you close your eyes and you hit

218
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: it from thirty feet.

219
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: But you can't get frustrated. Keep going back at it.

220
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: Just don't get out of character, don't get out of

221
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: don't get out of the scheme of what you're trying

222
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: to do offensively. But you gotta make those guys work

223
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: on the defensive end because if they don't, they're gonna

224
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: pointsh you when they have the ball. Yeah, Guys like

225
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: like Luca, guys like Shae, guys like Curry, even Dame. Right,

226
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: you have to hunt them because coming in are hunting you, right,

227
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: you gotta be the aggressor. You got to hit them

228
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: in the mouth first. You gotta play that reverse psychology

229
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: game on them, you know, first play the game. Hey,

230
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: I'm going at him. I sold like, you got to

231
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: play games with these guys that let them think that's

232
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: going to be a long night, right, And that that

233
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: was always my push anytime I played against a very high.

234
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: Level guard, I attacked first.

235
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: Right, I'm looking at points in the paints. The Lakers

236
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: dominated sixty you to forty six. Second chance points was tied.

237
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: Both had fourteen fast break points. The Lakers dominated thirty

238
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: two to seven. You got to look to get the

239
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: easy baskets. You gotta get to look easy baskets. Yeah,

240
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Lucas not the fastest. He ain't the fastest some bitch

241
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: in the world, right, you know them fast break points

242
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: ain't gonna really come like that with them. And that's

243
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: weird because they're small ball teams, so they should be

244
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: pushing the ball a lot more. But your best player

245
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: is not as fast. So it should be one of

246
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: those things where it out lets to Kyrie. First, let

247
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: him go. If he doesn't have anything, then give it

248
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: to look at you know, once the games once the

249
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: possession slows down and let him do his sting. Well,

250
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers should feel good. Look, they beat two good

251
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: detail ball clubs. Okay, see we know what they represent

252
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: with shake Yill just and they just beat the the

253
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Mavericks in back to back home games, so they should

254
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: feel good up next home games against Brooklyn and Portland.

255
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: These are the type of games. This is where you

256
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: if you were sick, this is the game. These are

257
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: the games where you get healthy. Now, Brooklyn is not

258
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: easy because cam Thompson, cam Thomas can put points on

259
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: the board. Claxton does a great job of rim running

260
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: and he's a nice defender. And Michale Bridges he does

261
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: a great job of scoring also. But you got to

262
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: have these games Brooklyn and Portland. You got to be

263
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: able to bag these. You got to get on a

264
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: nice little rent streak. Make you feel good about yourself, Gil, Yeah, yeah,

265
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: you know right now, you know this could be you know,

266
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: after the last two wins, this could be like a

267
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: four game winning streak for surely get some momentum.

268
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: And this is what you need, especially.

269
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: You know where we are as an organization, and I'm

270
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: acting like I own a goddamn team right since cold

271
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: when I was in high school. So I feel like

272
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm part of this ship too, up right, and I

273
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: think the thing is plus you look, look, put the

274
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: pressure on Rob and Jeannie like hey, hey, I can

275
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: get the doubt. Don't trade d I want to be

276
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: here because look, now contracts are eligible to be to

277
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: be moved, and the trade deadline is fast approaching. Team

278
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: to looking to make a move because this is the

279
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: last opportunity that they have before the summer, So this

280
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: is the last opportunity to make a move.

281
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: A championship can contending move is right now.

282
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: So and to be honest, Lakers still gotta be careful

283
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: with what they trade if they are going to try

284
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: to make a trade, because now you're really getting to

285
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: see what type of team you have, and you have

286
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: a nice, nice starting five, right the legit starting five,

287
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: So you have to be careful on who you decide

288
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: to move. If you're gonna make a move, you still

289
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: need to beef up your bench, like right now, yes,

290
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: you can see you don't have any points off the bench,

291
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: and that's why you're trying to junk up the lineup.

292
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: So going out there to get one of those high

293
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: level guards who can just put the ball in the basket.

294
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: That you have that in Woods, but you probably need

295
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: a guard that can do that too, just to you know,

296
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: mix things up when you need those type of players. Right,

297
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: the consistent points that you had coming off the bench,

298
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: you just inserted until your starting line up with Austin Reeds.

299
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: So he was the guy that was giving you somewhere

300
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: between twelve and sixteen points on a nightly basis off

301
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: the bench. Now you lose that because you've inserted him

302
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: into the starting lineup to give you more firepower to

303
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: go with your starting five. So I agree with you

304
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: in that situation. Are they gonna what are they gonna move?

305
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: And what are they willing to give up? They really

306
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: don't have anything but that twenty twenty nine first round pick.

307
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: Nine, I mean long.

308
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: Hey, that's so long for that man? He get it up, man,

309
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: got this, get it up, Get that up. Twenty twenty,

310
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: get that up. You don't know what the hell's gonna happen.

311
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty nine, Ramona Shelven released the article this

312
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: morning about Kyrie wanting to team up with Lebron. You

313
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: think the Lakers regret not pursuing Kyrie more aggressively. Okay,

314
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: when it first when it first came out, it was

315
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: Kyrie was recruiting Lebron. Right, come on, right, Rick, I

316
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: don't this is like, this is like a breakup, man,

317
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: It's like X right.

318
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: It's like an ex. I don't know if this has

319
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: been in j Lo, doog. I don't know if this

320
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: has been in j Low.

321
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna.

322
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: Get they got back together after all them years.

323
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're.

324
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: Gonna get back together and you know, make it.

325
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: Happy this time, you know, especially you know Kyrie, that's

326
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: he's technically the j Low in this city where the

327
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: last couple of relationships ain't go so well.

328
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: For you, my guy.

329
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: Right, you know, Lebron's looking like man, I done messed up.

330
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they were willing to pay for what

331
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Kyrie was bringing at that moment in time. You know

332
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: and understand who he was, even though this is where

333
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: he lives. Would have been great for the for for

334
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers. It would have took off a lot of

335
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: pressure from a D and Lebron. Right, but how much

336
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: do you give up for him? Yeah?

337
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't know if that, because

338
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: here's the thing.

339
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: I think the thing is that when you go back

340
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: and look at it, you probably regret moving the pieces

341
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: to get Rut as opposed to not giving up the

342
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: pieces to get Kyrie, because if you still had those pieces,

343
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: maybe you're in play for Kevin Durant.

344
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: Not saying KAD you would have want to.

345
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: Come to LA and team up with Lebron, but at

346
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: least you have pieces in order to do that. If

347
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: there was some for some unforeseen reasons that he did

348
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: want to come to LA and like, you know what,

349
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: a for the next three years, I'll go play with

350
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Ad and Lebron and we'll see what happens. But because

351
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,359
Speaker 1: you moved assets to get Russ and that didn't work out,

352
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: now you're like, okay, we really because you'd already giving

353
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: up a king's ransom to get Ad, which was well

354
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: worth it because you won a championship and you needed that.

355
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: So you do have no problem giving up Ingram and

356
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: giving up all those guys what they gave up to

357
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: get Anthony Davis and even what the two or three

358
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: first round picks that they gave up. But when you

359
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: also had to give up picks and assets, to get

360
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: russ Now, you're greatly limited.

361
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: In what you can do moving forward.

362
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: So when pieces like this become available, a Kyrie, potentially

363
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: a Kyrie, a KD, a Dame Lillard, you don't have

364
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: any money to go purchase anything. Yeah. That that that Westbrook.

365
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: If we erase everyone's memory and put them back in

366
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: that decision, they're gonna do it again because at that

367
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: moment in time, Rush just averaged a triple double. He

368
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: just averaged a triple double. That year going to be

369
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: all like everywhere he went, he meshed with the star, right,

370
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: so you didn't see a clash with him and Lebron's style. Right,

371
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: you could him and him in the pick and roll

372
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: with him in a d. You figured that that this

373
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: would be a great fit. Right.

374
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: It's hard to say that it okay.

375
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: We know on record has failed, but I always believe

376
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: in what happens if they're all, if they stayed healthy,

377
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: what would they have looked like? Yeah, they would have

378
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: been struggling from the shooting, because you know, russ Us

379
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: didn't shoot the ball like that. He can't shoot the

380
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: ball like that. Just it's not that he don't practice it. No,

381
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: one's not his game So with basketball players, there's certain

382
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: players that if they're not taught at a young age

383
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: to learn how to go from type two fibers to

384
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: type one when you're shooting right, they don't know how

385
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: to slow their motor down to pull a for a

386
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: nice jumper. So some of those speed demons, if they're

387
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: not taught at a young age to go fast to

388
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: slow down for that jumper.

389
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: They're never going to learn how to shoot a jump shot.

390
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: So him Ben Simmons, they don't know how to stop

391
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: to shoot that jumper. So they're going to always be

392
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: no matter how many shots they take and practice looks great,

393
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: when the game time stuff starts and you rev that

394
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: Bugatti engine up, Oh no, yeah, you you break brick brick,

395
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: And that's that's the problem with them too. Do you

396
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: think if Russ would have been accepting of the role

397
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: like he has with the Clippers, it would have worked better?

398
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Could he have come off the bench for the Lakers

399
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: as opposed to being in the starting lineup?

400
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: What could have been what could have been different?

401
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: Let's just say everybody stays healthy, Lebron doesn't get nicked,

402
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: Ad doesn't miss you know, thirty forty games, Lebron end

403
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: up missing some time. Also, if what was the best

404
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: case scenario in order for these three to strive to

405
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: get to to to thrive together. It was ordering it.

406
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: It was all in vinegar from the beginning, because the

407
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: Russ today, the rust today, wasn't the rust that summer.

408
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: R Right, you know, the rust that summer was a

409
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: triple double guy. You're gonna tell a triple double guy

410
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: to come off the bench for reeves insulting And that

411
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: was the problem when the idea of hey, come off

412
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: the bench and he's looking around for who, I don't

413
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: want to even come off the bitch from Lebron James.

414
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: Goddamn it, that's his ego at the time, Lebron James Ady,

415
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know who, but I guarantee I'm number two

416
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: and his mother ger right here right coming off for

417
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: this dude. No, no, no. The reality check that hit

418
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: him the booze at home. He had to really process

419
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: everything that went in and then we went to the

420
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: clippers and they embraced him. He sat back and said,

421
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: all right, coming off the bench, ain't that bad?

422
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: All right, fellas, this is what I'll do.

423
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: And it was his idea, but it had to take

424
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: that type of ass swipping from the media, the fans

425
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: and reality.

426
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: Lakers, you know, the reality.

427
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: It's just the reality of I'm not the triple double

428
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: guy anymore. They don't need me to be that guy. Right.

429
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: I can still get my shit off if I.

430
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: Need to, But it's we're a better team.

431
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: If I can control the second unit and let hard

432
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: and start. That was not happening with the Lakers. Same

433
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: thing with DL right, same thing with Del and Reeds.

434
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: They're sitting there looking at two dudes that they're not

435
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: that they're not that, that's that's not better than them.

436
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 2: Yes, And what was the difference between Russ and them? Nothing?

437
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: They were doing the same thing.

438
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: Yo, you got two dudes in here that Nah, they

439
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: had the same problems. Do you think there's a different

440
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: expectation of Russ with the Clippers as opposed with the Lakers,

441
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: which makes it a lot easier because he was expected

442
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: to come in and basically I don't think he was

443
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do that, but the fans thought

444
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: he could be able to do that. Average a triple

445
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: double with Lebron, with Lebron and a d and it's

446
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: just he's not gonna have a ball in his hands

447
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: enough to do it.

448
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

449
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: It was you're you're walking into a fail right, especially

450
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: since you're you're you're you're not the number one option

451
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: right right. You're coming in and you're the triple double guy.

452
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: If you don't average a triple double, that's saying triple

453
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: double average a year before. It's gonna be a failure anyway,

454
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: especially if we're not we're not winning.

455
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 2: There's no respect of these on your second guess we country.

456
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: Wayne following Cat right right, it's a it's a great interview, yes,

457
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: but you're not Cat.

458
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: God damn it. Like right, whoever followed that.

459
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: Performance was gonna fail no matter what, because that was

460
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: a performance. We expect things like I know, I know.

461
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: He was like, man, let mean, let me redo mine,

462
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: let me redo mine real quick. Let me go back

463
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: into the studio lug right right. And that's that's that's

464
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: how Russell is. You get here with it. We just

465
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: won you the high level. You need to come out

466
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: and be triple double. If not, we booing you. And

467
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: that's what happened. And that hurt his feelings because I

468
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: know would have hurt mind. Yeah, because that's the teap

469
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: look and there's nothing. Look, the Clippers are the Clippers.

470
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: But his whole dream, his hometime team was the Lakers,

471
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: Shack and Kobe winning championships and him going to the

472
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: parade and seeing that, and so his lifelong dream if

473
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: you were gonna play and if I got an opportunity

474
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: to play for the Lakers, oh man, that's gonna be

475
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: an unbelievable feeling.

476
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: That's gonna be great. And then when he gets here.

477
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: The one thing about Laker, the Laker fans, Laker nation,

478
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: you better win. They don't give a damn what you

479
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: did for somebody else. Ask Lebron when Lebron. You remember,

480
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: every time they try to put a mural up on Lebron,

481
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: somebody would deface it like he hadn't done anything with us.

482
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: Uh huh, we won't. And that's just the way it is.

483
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: And so even though Russ was a hometown kid, there's

484
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: like none of them triple doubles that m v P.

485
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: None of that happened in purple and gold. So until

486
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: he does something in the purple and gold, we not,

487
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: we not. We're not jumping up and down because you're

488
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: a hometown kid that that you know, Los Angeles is

489
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: the type of city that needs to see you grow, right,

490
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: They need to see you from here to here to

491
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: really like understand, appreciate your your path. Eighty one A championship, Yes,

492
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: we're still doing you.

493
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: Yes, now we don't like this perform. You want a.

494
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: Championship for us, and we're still not happy with what

495
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: you're doing. You didn't build nothing here, you came it.

496
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: You are rental property here, right, So like the Kobe's

497
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: the magics and stuff like that, you have to put

498
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: in years for us to respect those years. Yes, you know,

499
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, you're a big clipper. It's easy to be

500
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: the clipper. Ad what he has working at ESM is

501
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: that he's a big and every great big, for an

502
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: exception of Russell has played for the Lakers. So you

503
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: got Chamberlain, you got Mic and you got Kareem, you

504
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: got Shocked, so you got all the bigs. So that's

505
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: what you're up again. So if you don't dominate for

506
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: basically a decade, they're like, man, what do you man?

507
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: Come on home and it's gonna take a decade.

508
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a decade for us to read right

509
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: because we had Shaq, Yes, you know, we had the

510
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: big Fella, so you know that's that's.

511
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: Our last great big man.

512
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: And Nah or even or even pow Powe won two

513
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: championships with Kobe, and although he was not as dominant

514
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: as a as Shaq and Kareem, obviously you're talking about,

515
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, transcendent figures with Shaq and Kareem and Chamberlain

516
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: and Mike Michael in Minneapolis. But when you play a position,

517
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: the Lakers are known for biggs.

518
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: That's what they're known for. They're known for biggs. And

519
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: when you play, when.

520
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: You are player and you're big, and you come to LA,

521
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: they think domination. They thinking Shack, They think of Kareem.

522
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: They think he's thinking Chamberlain. That's what they're thinking. And

523
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: so you give them twenty you give them twenty five

524
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: to twelve. They're like and And we bowed Dwhight Howard,

525
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: who shouldn't have been playing. Average seventeen and twelve made

526
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. We bowed him in the Houston

527
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: and he was in LA with a bad back. Shouldn't

528
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: have been playing, shouldn't have been playing at all. I

529
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: wanted to play so bad. Average seventeen and twelve was

530
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: the second best player on our team and we bowed

531
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: him out of here.

532
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: That hurt the franchise for a couple of years.

533
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: Right, do you do you think Kyrie and Lebron will

534
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: ever reunite now? Were it too late?

535
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: Now? It's too late? I mean, if Kyrie needs once.

536
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: Another championship, possibly, but the youth that they both had,

537
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: they had a youth on their side. You know, Yes,

538
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: when Kyrie left, it was no doubt what I understand

539
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: what Kyrie was thinking, right, same thing Kobe was thinking. Right, Right, y'all, y'all,

540
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: don't think I'm that good by myself. Right, I'm doing

541
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: all these game winners, I'm carrying us the last three minutes,

542
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: but he's getting all the credit.

543
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I need my own team, and it ain't.

544
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: It ain't been working out ever since now, because what

545
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: you see you doing, you're not seeing what he's doing.

546
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: The last three minutes of your greatness is because the

547
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: last the first forty five was his right, getting the

548
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: team involved, making sure everyone was in the right position

549
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: for you to dominate. Right, That's what made those type

550
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: of guys great. That's what made Magic great. That's what

551
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: even made Michael Jordan's great, Right, and I don't think

552
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: at a young age Kyrie reading knew that he's been

553
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: taking those lumps as he goes now now, But I

554
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be a reunion.

555
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: This is not gonna be new.

556
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: Addition, you're not gonna have the fact Bobby Brown coming

557
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: out there.

558
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 2: Because it's not. And I think sometimes.

559
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: Players think it's easier to win and build a championship

560
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: than it actually is, because he automatically assumed, Okay, I'm

561
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna go menk up with KD and this thing is

562
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: gonna take off, and then they end up getting James

563
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: Harden for whatever reason, they couldn't stay healthy. But it's

564
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot more difficult because even when Kai, when when

565
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: Kobe and when Shaq split, it still took some years

566
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: before Kobe actually won a championship. And he had to

567
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: get a team specific for that. You know, he needed

568
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: a low plow flare in power that he could dump

569
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: it to down and that if he got fired, he

570
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: can gonna make free throws. He needed, he needed a

571
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: lamar Odham, he needed a metal world piece.

572
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: He needed certain pieces to fit exactly who and what

573
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: Kobe was. Yeah, okay, there's two things that happens with us.

574
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: Right when we're when we're younger, we want to build

575
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: our resume as a dominant player.

576
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: Okay.

577
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: So with Kobe, right, he had the advantage of having

578
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neill in place, so he got to win early.

579
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: But the knock was, you're not my pel Jordan, You're

580
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: not doing all this stuff. So he's like, right, well,

581
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: well we'll remove these pieces then, right, so y'all can see,

582
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: y'all can see what I am.

583
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: Y'all can see what type of killer I am.

584
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: Same thing with Kyrie, right, you winning the championships with

585
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Lebron in your early age, and you're like, nah, now, y'all,

586
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: y'all disrespected me. Y'all don't have me as the number

587
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: one guard, and I'm that dude, So let me go

588
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: get my own team, right, And that's what happens to

589
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: some players. You know, you get on these good teams,

590
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: and the team greatness stunts the growth of the individual

591
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: player when the individual player is trying to build his

592
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: individual resume. Right, you know, it's easier for me, like

593
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: Luca right now, it's easy for me to do the

594
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: damage now, then go be a winner later. If I'm

595
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: a winner now, and when it's hard for me to

596
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: build my resume after that, because now you're expecting winning

597
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: when I'm trying to be selfish as an individual.

598
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: Right when Horse.

599
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: Said today, I don't know what's gonna happen with Lebron

600
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. I feel like Lebron is gonna

601
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: play next year, but I don't know if it's going

602
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: to be for the Lakers. Can you see a scenario

603
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: in which Lebron is not playing in a Lakers uniform?

604
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: Hell?

605
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: Who said that? Brian Windhorse? He wrote an article today,

606
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: he said it today. Oh man, he should be five. Man.

607
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you don't come all the way to

608
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: La Man, get this good ass weather over here and

609
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: then go back to something. No, No, that's not how

610
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: that works. Once you get to the sunshine, you're doing

611
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: anything to stay here, right right. I don't know if

612
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: y'all know what happens outside of LA. It's cold out there. Shit,

613
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: it's very cold cold in them streets, them airports is cold.

614
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: They're coming home in your whole part under snow. That

615
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,719
Speaker 1: happens when you come to LA. You and Beverly Hills,

616
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: life seems it seems happier, Right, It's happier when you

617
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: walk outside and it's sunny versus it's snow and it's

618
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: rainy and miserable.

619
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: Right, it's easy to just wake up at I mean.

620
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: Even though that spells like bud but right, you know

621
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: the PM, right, you know what I mean. And so

622
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: it's hard once someone gets to LA, it's really hard

623
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: for them to just want to leave.

624
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to trade Lebron.

625
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: Well, I don't see that happening, because he's still a draw.

626
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: He's still playing at a he's still playing at extremely

627
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: high level. He's averaging twenty five, seven and seven in

628
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: your twenty one. And I'm sure there are a lot

629
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: of other teams that would want him just for the draw.

630
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: But he's not just a draw. He's still a damn

631
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: good for me. He's still a top ten player for me. Yeah,

632
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: look one, Polinka himself, he don't have more power than Lebron,

633
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: not in this NBA. Right, So there's never gonna be

634
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: no scenario where he thinks he just about to trade

635
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: Lebron to any damn where, right, that's not happening, right,

636
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: So if Lebron do leave, it's because Lebron traded himself.

637
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: There's no there's no scenario that Polinka or Jenny's gonna

638
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: do that doesn't have Lebron making the call one hundred percent.

639
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: The Celtics moved to twenty and oh at home this

640
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: season after beating the Spurs. Should the East be worried

641
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: about the Celtics, I mean they they are right. You

642
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: know this this team has been Tatum and Brown, but

643
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: they wanted to trade. You know, there was articles about

644
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: getting rid of the two, breaking the two.

645
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: Up and it was only twenty three.

646
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: I think I think people didn't realize that they were

647
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: still so young and they have not hit their peaks yet.

648
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: They're not even close to their peaks. They're only twenty

649
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: five and twenty six. They still got three four years

650
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: before they're priming. So you have you have guys right

651
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: now that are on a mission.

652
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: Right, they've already tasted success.

653
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: At a young age and they're trying to get over

654
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: that hump. So they are a real threat. Everyone else

655
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: has tasted success. I mean, you know, Tatum is like yo,

656
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: I've been in.

657
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: The top three and MVP voting.

658
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: I need to get over that hump, right, We need

659
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: to get to the NBA Finals. We need to win one,

660
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: so they're on a different mission. If they don't win

661
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: one this year, in the next two.

662
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: Years they gonna have one.

663
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

664
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: I mean you look at what they did.

665
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: They turned marcusmart uh uh uh and Robert Williams into

666
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: Holliday and Porzingis with Malcolm Brogden and then your Holliday

667
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: and prosingers and the thing's there deep. You know, we

668
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: understand about their starting five, but their bench, they just

669
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: come at They just come at you in waves and

670
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: so there, it's gonna be very difficult because I don't

671
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: think anybody for depth purposes, there's nobody in the East

672
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: that can match it. I mean, we understand what Joel Embidie,

673
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: Joel Embiat and Tyrees Maxley.

674
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: Now.

675
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: I do like the way Tobias Harris has been playing

676
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: thus far because he's been a a great third piece

677
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: piece to go along with Joel embiid and and and

678
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: Tyreese Maxley. But Milwaukee is gonna be a major player.

679
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: I believe Damon and and and and Gianni's only get

680
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: better and better. But right now, I think it's the

681
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: Celtics that are clearly the best team in the East,

682
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: uh with with Przinga's Tatum, Holiday Brown and Derrick White,

683
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: because this this is the Derrick White that we saw

684
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: early in his career in San Antonio that everybody was saying, Okay, man,

685
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: this is little dude. This dude here man, Cause you

686
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: remember that series he had against the Nuggets, I think

687
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: it was the Nuggets. Yeah, and I think he was

688
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,959
Speaker 1: like a first or second year player and he went off. Yeah.

689
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 2: I think he's found his niche now.

690
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: I think you know, last year he is more of

691
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: a defensive player, made he role plays. But I think

692
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: now he he he's found his two way in him.

693
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: You know, last year's more of a you know, one

694
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: way guy, you know, trying to Now he's a two

695
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: way player. The reason I like Boston is they're so

696
00:35:54,120 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: flexible in their lineups. Right, They're always big, right, and

697
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: you know they can put a lineup out there. You know, uh,

698
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: Tatum at the point, Jaden Brown at the two. They

699
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: can put for Zingis at the three, Al Hurford at

700
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: the four, and Luke at the five if they wanted to,

701
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: and just a big lineup force you to try to

702
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: figure out how to match it, right, and you know

703
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: Brown plays the two, and he's just gonna say he

704
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: sits in.

705
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: The polls hit you with the MIDI because.

706
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: Most two's are small, so they have so many lineups

707
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: that they can throw at you and still be like

708
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: their small ball still has six ten and sixty eleven

709
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: in it, which is crazy, right, right. So the fact

710
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: that you gave up a six four power four for

711
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: seven seven to one center.

712
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what they doing in Dallas.

713
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if any vegas legal over there, but

714
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: you had to be.

715
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: On it at the time you made this trade.

716
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: Well, for whatever reason, it seemed like Frazinga's Prezinga's like, hey,

717
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: I ain't getting no shots, Luca getting all the shots,

718
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: and I don't want to play in the post. I

719
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: would have played on the wing, and for the most part,

720
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: they let him play wherever. Yeah he could, I mean

721
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: because he's seven seven seven seven two, can shoot the three,

722
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: can put the ball on the floor, got a nice

723
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: mid range. But they're letting him play a style that's

724
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: conduced it for him being productive as opposed to say, nah,

725
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: you say I'm gonna get your butt down on the block,

726
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: because that's not what he is. Yet you're right and

727
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: you know, I know, I know Washington gave him up,

728
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: which you know, with the team they had, he was

729
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: a great piece for them. But you know, when you

730
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: look at the overall, it's like Boston got him right

731
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: and y'all got Greg and that is technically the trade,

732
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: no matter how way, that's the trade. And it's like

733
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: you really did all this to get a six four

734
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: power forward. And I'm never given up. I'm never giving

735
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: up hypes for small. If I'm gonna give up height,

736
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: I'm giving height for height because you can't teach height.

737
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: No, no, right, you know, I'm not. I'm never gonna trade.

738
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna trade my big for a guard unless

739
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: my big has no talent and I can trick somebody to.

740
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 2: Take it to get a high level player.

741
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna trade a talented big for some guard.

742
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: That's just that just sounds dumb.

743
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean for Zingers for whatever reason, I mean,

744
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: he's been an All Star, but for whatever reason he

745
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't catch on. I mean, I don't know

746
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: him and Luca for whatever reason, it didn't work. And

747
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: like you said, he went to Washington and then they

748
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: moved on. But when you can turn Malcolm Brogn and

749
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: Robert Williams and Marcus mart and the holiday in Brazingles.

750
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: You won that trade. You won that trade. It won

751
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: that trade because.

752
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: Then it looked like Robert Williams is ever gonna be

753
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: the same since he tried to come back and play

754
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: on that knee.

755
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: He looks gimpy every since.

756
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: And so I don't know if you're ever gonna get

757
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: the Robert Williams pre injury because I thought he was

758
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: a tremendous defensive player.

759
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: What's the funny is, Yeah, you know, we gotta watch

760
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: them Celtics.

761
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: Boy, they've been, they've been. They've they've bened some guys,

762
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: injured it and traded some bad products.

763
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 2: That product you know, I t hit.

764
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look good, Stand up a little bit. Look

765
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: at him. Good product right here right there's Conors over

766
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: there in Boston. Yeah. Trade, they trading anybody who's getting hurt.

767
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: They they trade that player out of there.

768
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: But to see the thing is the player, the players

769
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: are playing hurt and it's hurting their value. Isaiah Thomas

770
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: played injured with that laborhm in his hill. He's never

771
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: he was never the same. Robert Williams tried to come

772
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: back early on that book, that knee. He's never been

773
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: the same, and if I'm not mistaken, I think they

774
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: had to go back into me again. Yeah. Man, listen,

775
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: we're we're your athlete, right. You are saying we getting

776
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: hurt if if we can play, we were taught if

777
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: you can give twenty five percent, fifty percent, that's better

778
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: than his one hundred percent.

779
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: Yes, so we.

780
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: Go out there twenty five fifty percent to help the team,

781
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: not really hurt ourselves. The person that regarding is coming

782
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, he don't give no crap about our

783
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: fifty percent, and we end up going to hurting ourselves

784
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: because we're trying to stick somebody that's coming a hundred

785
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: won't run fifty and that instead of just getting healthy

786
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: and then going out there giving one hundred percent, we

787
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: feel we can still play this game being the person

788
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: we are. Because the thing is Gil, we might help

789
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: the team, but we hurt us, Yes, because that's what happened.

790
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: It player. It helped the Celtics, but it hurt his value.

791
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: He didn't get that one hundred million dollar contract that

792
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: he was supposed to get because the guy wasn't an

793
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: all NBA player, an All Star player, but after that injury,

794
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: he was never the same player.

795
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 2: The same thing with Robert Williams.

796
00:40:58,239 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I don't know if you've ever going to be

797
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: the parlay what could have been? And that's what we

798
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: look back now and says what could have been? Yep,

799
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: and that what could have been? Mindset? Ooh that burns. Ooh,

800
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: that's deep pain. Ooh, that's like that's like a girl

801
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: you're about to uh marry and you find out she

802
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: cheated on you.

803
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: You're never gonna trust again.

804
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: No, And that's and that's what that if that's gonna

805
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: sit every time you look, every time in the summer

806
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: hits and it's negotiation, right, and you just seeing players

807
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: getting money or like yeah, every time you drive by

808
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: the Bank of America you see somebody in the pot,

809
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: All yeah, that shit, go see I was better than help.

810
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the shrewd the shrewter wo he

811
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 1: turned down four for eighty four. You're looking for one hundred.

812
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: And I said at the time, bro, why what makes

813
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: you think that you're capable of turning that down? You

814
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: don't know, he don't you don't know what's out there.

815
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: I know he ain't getting that again. Yeah, oh no yet. Well, listen,

816
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: we lose it, you lose it. There's no getting back, right.

817
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: It takes like guaranteed money. It's it's yours, yes, right,

818
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: it's yours. So for you to make that money back

819
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: it like eighty four for four years, whatever deal you do,

820
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure that in four years it was

821
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 1: eighty four million. If not lost, you lost, you lost. Yeah,

822
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: he never He's never gonna make that up. He's not

823
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play enough years to make that

824
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: up because the l I mean, he got a decent contract.

825
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: I think he got two for what, two for seventeen,

826
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: two for twenty something like that. But the previous deals

827
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: were all minimum. Yeah, were here he could have been

828
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: on a three. He could have been in the second

829
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: year or the third year of an eighty four million

830
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: dollar deal.

831
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the thing.

832
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: Now, now kill those minimum deals. You're like, okay, cool,

833
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: I played for minimum. Already made my money. The problem

834
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: is we look at we look at he would never

835
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: make the eighty four.

836
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: The eighty four is not what you do.

837
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: You lose you losing the eighty four for four right,

838
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: And in that same year you signed three year, three

839
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: year nineteen right, right, right, So you about what.

840
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: Damn near forty million off?

841
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: Well, you're not factoring the deal you signed after the

842
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: eighty four or the extinct you signed after the eighty

843
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: four versus what is so in.

844
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 2: Reality when it's all said and done and.

845
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: His career is over, right, Because you got to remember,

846
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: extensions off of eighty four is twelve point five percent, right, right, if.

847
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: You're playing at a certain level.

848
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: Versus you know, signing more money off of seventeen, you.

849
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 2: Losing one hundred and something million dollars.

850
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: It all adds up, even on the back end, So

851
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: you're losing back end money that you don't even factor in.

852
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: Right, he had a shrewdest career.

853
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: Earnings are eighty nine million because he had a nice

854
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: he had a nice deal in Atlanta. He had a

855
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: nice deal in Atlanta, and he could have parlayed that deal,

856
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: flipped it right into a four year eighty four million,

857
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: But hey, he rolled the dice, rolled up, trapped out, yep.

858
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: But uh, he's still a solid player. Pascal Siakam got

859
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 1: traded to the Pacers. The Pacers ac Siaka from the Raptor.

860
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: Then exchange for a pack of the cruise includes Bruce

861
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: Brown Junior and three first round draft picks. Do you

862
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: believe the place Pacers gave up too much to get it?

863
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: Say that again, where they give up Bruce Brown? Gave

864
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: up Bruce Brown Junior and three first round draft picks.

865
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: So there was that too much for SAKA, So they

866
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: just gave up Bruce Brown. Huh, that's it. The first

867
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: round draft picks. That doesn't mean nothing to me, man,

868
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: because you're taking you're taking picks from teams that's going

869
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, which puts you at a web twenty

870
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: six eight, Right, that's not a but you're not gonna

871
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: find a because that's where he went, right, He was

872
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 1: about twenty seven to twenty eight, So you're not gonna

873
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 1: it's rare to find.

874
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 2: It's like a lottery pick, right, a lottery ticket. I mean, right,

875
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: you gonna scratch it. You know, you might get a dollar.

876
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 2: You'll be lucky, you get your.

877
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: Money back, you hitting some big goddamn it, good luck, right,

878
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: And that's the same thing with these picks. So you know,

879
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: the real trade was him for Bruce Brown, and that's

880
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: a that's an upgrade for Indiana that's a real look.

881
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: You remember you got all them picks? Right?

882
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 2: Who did? Yeah?

883
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: They got about one hundred first round picks over there.

884
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: How that shit panned out for them? Yeah? Uh, Siakame

885
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: is a few months away from free agency. So essentially

886
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: the Pacers surrendered all that draft capital to secure Siakam

887
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: birds right, So they don't so they can they can

888
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: top it, they can max him out and it doesn't

889
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: count against the cap man. Listen, I'm I'm these these

890
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: these GM's a week the day weak like, I'm never

891
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna be afraid for my player to go to free

892
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 1: agency because I can offer him the most money period. Yes,

893
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: the fifth year, you can give me a fiftyear as

894
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: opposed to the four years that someone else can get.

895
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: You know, so you're telling me I can give you,

896
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, five year two hundred.

897
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 2: He can get forty seven is the max five for

898
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 2: two forty seven.

899
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: Five for two forty seven, and it can give you

900
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: a four what four on on up there for you

901
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: bad boy, go go go with your badass. Let me

902
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 1: let me see it right, let me see you that

903
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: that is the decision you'll ask it to be making.

904
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna turn down all this this money, good luck. Right,

905
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: there's only a few human beings that's gonna do that.

906
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: Even Lebron didn't do that when he went to Miami.

907
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: That was a sign and trade, signed me to the

908
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: max and trade me when the decision should have been, go,

909
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: don't take that eighty four million they.

910
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: Trying to get you because that's all they can afford. Right.

911
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: But this notion of I need something in return for him, well,

912
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: the players know that now. The players understand that now.

913
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: So the leverage now is the players, not the team.

914
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: Because you want something back for me, I want out

915
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: right versus just goal lead. Well, well that's what really hurt.

916
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: That's what hurt the OKC thunder because Kevin Durant walked

917
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: out the door for nothing. If you could have signed

918
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 1: and trade him, you could have got some draft picks

919
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: that could have greatly helped. When you lose a player

920
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: like a Kevin Durant, or you lose one of these

921
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: top tier players in free agency and you get no

922
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: compensation in return, it dooms you.

923
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: It doomed you. You gotta getause.

924
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: Just imagine had ad walked out of the door in

925
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans because look at what they were able to

926
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: parlay that into the draft capital that they got from

927
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: the Lakers. So if a player were to leave it,

928
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm not saying obviously Siakam is not a Kevin Durant,

929
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: He's not an Anthony Davis. But when you get one

930
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: of these top tier players and they walk out the door,

931
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: you basically got to trade them a year before because

932
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: even if they you don't believe they're willing to take

933
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: that four year, because you can give them that fifth

934
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: year out of about sixty to seventy million dollars more than

935
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 1: what they can get from another team. Just the fact

936
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: that they might do that and leave you with no

937
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: compensation as opposed to three first round draft picks. Who knows,

938
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: maybe somebody gets nick and you got a bad record,

939
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: and hey, now, all of a sudden, what you thought

940
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: was going to be in the twenties is going to

941
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 1: be a top five pick.

942
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we can look at it like that, or

943
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 2: you can look at it like what happened to ogse It?

944
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 2: How much money do you have?

945
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: Now?

946
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 2: Oh, they got a budget.

947
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: Remember when when I trade you, I'm getting back garbage

948
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: at the same price, right, So if I'm gonna get

949
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: back all these pieces.

950
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: That equal up to the same pay. I don't really

951
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: have nothing.

952
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: I'd rather you leave. I got forty million free, right

953
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: so Toronto. They they didn't hurt from Kawhi Levings, not

954
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: like they're gonna be they Look, they didn't hurt from

955
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: when Kawhi even OKAYC didn't hurt from Ken.

956
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: It's fantasy.

957
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: It is a fantasy. Oh, I need to get back

958
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: these peple because the teams that it has happened to,

959
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,959
Speaker 1: they haven't been set back for dynasties. Look at them now.

960
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: They lost Kevin Durant, got nothing in compensation, and look

961
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 1: where they are now.

962
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: Right.

963
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: But see, but they also think about what they gave

964
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: up Paul okay see, gave up Paul George and they

965
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: got an SGA and they got three first round picks.

966
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: They gave up for Russell Westbrook, they got draft conversation.

967
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: So they've been turned those over and they've done a

968
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: good job of drafting because sg A is a nice piece.

969
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to They're gonna have to draft

970
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: because ain't no, I don't look at someone.

971
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: Uh let's just say a top five fridge.

972
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't see them going to ok see, did you

973
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: see a top five Friedgees going okay, so you got

974
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: the draft. Drafting is okay, right, like, unless you unless

975
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: you have a real gus, which they do. They have

976
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: very great scouting over there, yeah, right, Like Spurs is

977
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: great scouters, Yes, Grey scouting over there Miami. For the

978
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: garbage that they get, they got gret scouting and who

979
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 1: else is great at scouting? Spurs is great at scouting, right,

980
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: You like the Warriors?

981
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 2: How's the Warriors? You know, it's it's a hit and miss.

982
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: They they got very great with Curry and you know,

983
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: you know Draymond in the second round and then and

984
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: then you know, then developing, you know. But for the

985
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: most part, it's it's building players to trade for something great,

986
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: right and.

987
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 2: That and that's what it is.

988
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: No matter you know what pick you have, it's still

989
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: you have to make the right pick, get the right

990
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 1: the right player. And that's the key. You know, them

991
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: getting the number one pick and getting check right help them.

992
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, him being hurt last year helps them today.

993
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: Shade turning out to be what he is.

994
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: Right, So it still has to you know, you can

995
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: make a a call on someone. He has to want

996
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: to be what you envision also, right, you know, so

997
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: you know that's that's that's key too. Does y'all can

998
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: Halliburton door move the needle for you? Where do you play?

999
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: Where does this place them in the East, because I

1000
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: think you got Boston as one, maybe Milwaukeett, Philly two, three,

1001
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 1: whatever order uls, whatever order you might have. Uh. When

1002
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: I look at when I look at when I look

1003
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: at the pacers, I see a team that's looking to

1004
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: get the ball off the rim maker miss. They either

1005
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: take it out of that or they get it off

1006
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: the rim and push the pace. They're still not going

1007
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: to play any defense. So I got him at I

1008
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: got him at four or five. I don't think it moved.

1009
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: It doesn't move the needle for me, it doesn't move.

1010
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't move the needle in the sense of it

1011
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: could slow them down a little bit because Siakam is

1012
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: that one on one type of player in a half. Yes,

1013
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be for the playoffs themselves. Okay, it's

1014
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: hard to tell because it's matchups, right, you know, if

1015
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: they get a four five and they get they get

1016
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: a New York Knicks, right, they get a Cleveland in

1017
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: the first round, they can get out of that first

1018
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: round with them New York don't play enough defense. They

1019
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: don't play enough defense to stop that offense, and they

1020
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: don't have enough offense to just but he had to

1021
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: punish their bad defense.

1022
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 2: Right, you know they got more one on one players.

1023
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: You're gonna have two guys, you're gonna have, you know, Brunton,

1024
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: who's gonna dominate that series. And then you know it'll

1025
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: help if all seven games Randall plays excellent. But for

1026
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: the most part, he gonna give you three. He gonna

1027
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: give you three good ones. Right, it is some questionable ones.

1028
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: And with a team like Pacers, right, they can they

1029
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: can run through a team like that on a seven

1030
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: game series. Everybody else, right, if if Philly gets them,

1031
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be weary about it, because yeah,

1032
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: you do. You force mb to think that, oh, they

1033
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: can't guard me, and then he tries to take over

1034
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: that game by himself and that can end bad.

1035
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: So it all depends on who you match up in

1036
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1037
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: To be honest, Siakam is averaging twenty two points a game,

1038
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: six rebounds and basically five assists. Tyrese Haliburton is twenty

1039
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: three points six points twelve and a half assists on

1040
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: three point four may threes a game.

1041
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: So you get you got two guys that average twenty.

1042
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: You got Miles Turner on a given night, can give

1043
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: you twenty fifteen, can shoot the three, can play out

1044
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: standing defense, one of the pre real rem protectors in

1045
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: all of basketball. So they got a team that, like

1046
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 1: I said, just just more offense. To me, I don't

1047
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: think for me, it doesn't put them in front of Boston.

1048
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't put them in front of Philly. And for

1049
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: whatever reason, they have had Milwaukee's number, because they have

1050
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: had Milwaukee's number, because I don't believe in a seven

1051
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: game series, I don't I don't know, I don't, I

1052
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think I would pick Indiana to

1053
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: beat them in a seven game series. The reason and

1054
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: they have, uh the reason or having success against them

1055
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: is because Yannis and Dame are open court type players.

1056
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: So Yannis wants to play Indiana's style. Team is not

1057
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 1: built like that, so honest, for personal reasons, don't want

1058
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: to be in a half court so he doesn't want

1059
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: to slow the game down, which benefits Indiana. So the

1060
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: fact that Giannis wants to go like that he doesn't.

1061
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: He doesn't get to punish them if he slowed the

1062
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: game down, slow the whole series down, and say we're

1063
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: going to beat them up. Inside, Jannis is like, nah,

1064
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't play like that.

1065
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't have them post up and down.

1066
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: I paid fifty thousand for I don't have those moves, right,

1067
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: So I want to keep the game going, which benefits them.

1068
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 2: Right, And.

1069
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: Si Yakam's name is is is great. He's a solid player.

1070
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he's turned into what he thought he

1071
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: was going to turn INTWO right, you know, you know

1072
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: what I mean that playoff series where you know, you

1073
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: know twenty eighteen nineteen where he averaged about nineteen points.

1074
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: He's never elevated from there, right, you know, right now,

1075
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: He's just a solid player, and he's an upgrade from Brown.

1076
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure Brown wish he stayed his little

1077
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: happy ass over in Denver because you know, obviously the

1078
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: money though you remember had that kind of money. But

1079
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: I think, but what it tells me, what it tells

1080
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: me Gil is that Toronto says we'd rather have Scotty

1081
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: Barnes in those pigs as opposed to Siakam and no picks, yep,

1082
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: because Scottie Barnes is a one, two, three, four, five, right.

1083
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: You know we have a guy who can play all positions,

1084
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: so that means we're not limited. You know, Siakam was

1085
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: playing a five man over there, and he's playing the

1086
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: five because Scotty Barnes is back there and a young

1087
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 1: dude can do whatever he wants.

1088
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 2: When you have Scotty Barnes.

1089
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 1: When you're looking into the draft, your drafts, your draft

1090
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: slots just opens up, right versus right, you got these

1091
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: type of players. Now you're looking for, OHI I need

1092
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: a four men or I need a five man. With

1093
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: Scotty Barnes, you're looking for the best player available at

1094
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: that point, even if it's in his position, because you

1095
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: know you can move him to another position. So he's

1096
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: a great asset player. Paul George on the Clippers trading

1097
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: SGA to the Thunders. Both sides won. I think it

1098
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: was quite a lot for the Clippers were willing to

1099
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: give up. Their commitment to me is my commitment to

1100
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: the team. Both sides won. We know Shaye was going

1101
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: to be really, really good, but he's special in a way.

1102
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma won that trade with pigs in future and a

1103
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: future MVP.

1104
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 2: Great trade for both sides. What do you come down

1105
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: on that.

1106
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't to be honest, I don't they knew he

1107
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: was talented. I don't think they knew he was this.

1108
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: It's good they would have never gave him up. If

1109
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: they did knew this. I'm pretty sure they would have

1110
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: proved they would have become That's what Kawhi wanted. You

1111
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: had to appease Kawhi because if you don't, he's going

1112
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: to the Lakers. You can't have Kawhi, Lebron and Ad

1113
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: playing in the same building as the Clippers.

1114
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:20,959
Speaker 2: So you were you had to act.

1115
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: You West and you're at his mercy because he said,

1116
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: if you don't get me PG, I'm going next door.

1117
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: And the time, it made sense because the team you

1118
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: had right, the team you had with Lou Williams and

1119
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: all of them was a good team.

1120
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 2: They were right good team. They didn't have star players.

1121
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: So you're like, oh, I just trade these pieces and

1122
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: I have two stars coming in.

1123
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 2: Oh shit, we're gonna be great.

1124
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: That team didn't work out right, right, That team didn't

1125
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: work out right, So then you move, you move, you know, Shae,

1126
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: and Shae himself turned into a star. Yes, he turned

1127
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: into a franchise player. Yes, you regret that. You do

1128
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: regret that because right now you have the oldest team

1129
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: in the league, which means your window.

1130
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 2: Ain't speak at all.

1131
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: You have the oldest team in the league, which means

1132
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: your window is here.

1133
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 2: Shade and Okac with.

1134
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: The ages of the average of twenty four, their window

1135
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: is here. Right, they got five more years before they

1136
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: become where you are right now.

1137
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: Right that, when that's they've won.

1138
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: Right, you got Jalen Williams in that you know from

1139
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. They have grabbed some great pieces for their

1140
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: today and for their future. So right now they're in

1141
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: the driver's seat on that trade only way Clippers. They

1142
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: got to win a championship for the windows trade.

1143
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 2: They have to. That's the oldest possible works. It's possible.

1144
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: This year they got a nice squad, And question is

1145
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: can Kawhi has played basically I mean he's missed what

1146
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 1: missed like five games, but for the most part he's

1147
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: been on the court all year. Paul George has been

1148
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: on the court all year. The question is, as we

1149
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: move forward, can they sustain this play can they hooker

1150
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: be a housewife? Answers, Yeah, they could. What have they right?

1151
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 2: The Clippers right, hey, the holes of the NBA.

1152
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: We don't see them becoming, you know, trophy wise anytime soon.

1153
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: Shaq says he would taking sg A over Luca. I'm

1154
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to take SG. Luca is a fabulous player.

1155
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: But this kid, he plays the right way, gets his

1156
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: teammates involved. I'm taking him right now. He's a hell

1157
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: of a player right now. I'm gonna have to disagree

1158
01:00:52,800 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: with Big Villa. Yeah, I'm taking Luca. I mean it,

1159
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: it's a good argument to make, but Luca is a

1160
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: They're both different, you know, they both give you what

1161
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: you need. But Luca's resume and how he plays and

1162
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: the specialties that he brings you, I can't.

1163
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't. He's a I mean he averages

1164
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 2: more points, more rebounds, more cis.

1165
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: Right. I mean I've seen I've seen Luca take a

1166
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: team to the Western Conference Binals. Yeah, and you think

1167
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: about those those matchup that he had with the Clippers,

1168
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: and basically he was out there by himself and he's

1169
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: given Kawhi, he's given PG, he's given Pat Beal, he's

1170
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: given Mars, he's given everybody they got, he's averaged your

1171
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: faulty and Luca's younger, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

1172
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: And I get I get, I get shot. I mean,

1173
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: and I think the thing is, you know when when

1174
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: you like, okay, I take this player with that player.

1175
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: If it's not close, when what are we debating it for?

1176
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: It's it's supposed to be close. Yeah, that's what that's

1177
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: what this is about. I mean, if oh, I would

1178
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: take Joel Embiid over Myles Turner, really it would help,

1179
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: so would everybody else. But when you say Joel Embiid

1180
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: and Nicola Yo Kicch, now we got an argument that

1181
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: we can have and and and that's that's not quite

1182
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: this argument, but it could be. And right, you know,

1183
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: next year, you know likes Ye is tapping into that

1184
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: thirty one and thirty one Lucas he's the motherfucker's been

1185
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: here before, right, and he's younger, he's been dominating for

1186
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: a long time. This basketball game we see today is

1187
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: easy for him. Yes, Like there's there's guys in this.

1188
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 2: League that.

1189
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: When there become there comes a point. Jo Kisch is

1190
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: at that point. Lebron's been that that point. Katie's at

1191
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: that point, Iris.

1192
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 2: At that point, James Harden was at that point.

1193
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Tatum is getting at that point.

1194
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Where they have to the way they play.

1195
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: They have to do things that make it more challenging

1196
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: for themselves because playing it the regular way it.

1197
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 2: Becomes too easy for them.

1198
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: That's when James Harden doing a double step back and

1199
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: creating all these moves, because the game itself was so

1200
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: easy that the challenge became, let me just add all this,

1201
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: let me do all this extra stuff to make it.

1202
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: But when they start playing simple basketball, people like, oh.

1203
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 2: This is an easy night for them. And that's where Shay's.

1204
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Getting to that point when he's realizing.

1205
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Hey, this is easy. Lucas been at that point.

1206
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Yes, and they gave the game is kind of sort

1207
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: of similar for the simple fact Gil you can't speed

1208
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: them up.

1209
01:03:58,800 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: I mean you look at him.

1210
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think Gilla, I mean, Shaye is a

1211
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: lot more athletic than Luca. And because when you just

1212
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: look at Luca and I've seen you know, I was

1213
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: at a Lakers game when he was and I'm looking

1214
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 1: at him like.

1215
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 2: How do you do this?

1216
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean you can't jump, you can't run, but how

1217
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: do you like he could get to any spot that

1218
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: he wants to get you on the court. He can

1219
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: get there and the best defender cannot stop me. Yeah,

1220
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: because so, I don't think anyone understands that the hand

1221
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: check that everyone glorifies is still in play right right

1222
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: below the free throw line.

1223
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 2: The handcheck has always been there.

1224
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: They just took it from, you know, above the free

1225
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: throw line.

1226
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 2: The smarter players understand.

1227
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: The rules, so good to manipulate it for themselves.

1228
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 2: Like, I know you can't touch me here. I know

1229
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 2: you can touch me there.

1230
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: I know when you touch me you have to touch

1231
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: with your right hand, because this is how it is.

1232
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: If this is your left hand, I know your left

1233
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: hands a little bit weaker. So you know and start

1234
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: understanding how to manipulate the game and understand human behavior.

1235
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: When you become someone like Luca and all, it's the

1236
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: human behavior that they understand the most. I know what

1237
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: you have to do right, So your defense, them accolades,

1238
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: you got them. First teams are meaningless to my understanding

1239
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: of what you have to do and the concerts that

1240
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: you play by right that defense first team second.

1241
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:32,959
Speaker 2: Look at how they play.

1242
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Look at those first team guys against the superstars, they

1243
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: get barbecued. Yeah, you just try to if he averages

1244
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: thirty year, you tried to hold him to twenty eight,

1245
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: and you just don't want it to get.

1246
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 2: Thirty five forty. But he gonna get thirty five to forty.

1247
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 2: Right now, your.

1248
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: First team coming off guys who are undisciplined offer because

1249
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: when you look at look you try to guard KD.

1250
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: You're not stopping Katie from getting what he wants to

1251
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: get to. You're not gonna stop. You're not gonna stop

1280
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,080

1281
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: for Clipper fans only, and they're seated and they're not

1282
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,920

1284

Speaker 1: Anyone founding violation of these rules will lose access to

1285
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: the section. They they the Raiders with the black hole. Now, yeah, listen,

1286
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: they got that many fans to begin with.

1287
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 2: Listen, listen, listen. I don't know.

1288
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: I know he's a fan, right, Bomber is a fan,

1289
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: Ye is right, he has a lot of money. Tomon

1290
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: sense is not common in this sense, right. The concept

1291
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 1: of what he's saying amazing, Right, having a section right

1292
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: behind the basket where you can affect the offense in

1293
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: crunch time, right, you know, college style. We you know

1294
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: it's a black hole. I don't think he understands that

1295
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: the visiting team picks which way they go, which means

1296
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: that first half I will go against the wall, and

1297
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: then the second half I go the other way where

1298
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: the wall does have no impact on this game.

1299
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,919
Speaker 2: So Bomber put.

1300
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: The shit on both sides, because any smart opposing team

1301
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: would do that.

1302
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 2: We're gonna face you in the first half.

1303
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: The black hole I mean the wall, and then go

1304
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: the regular way, so you're fakings your only Kauhi is

1305
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: looking at this black hole I mean the walls. The

1306
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: concept is fine, but he doesn't understand that the visiting

1307
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: team picks which way they go. And plus you know

1308
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: when when when you go there, I mean, gods start playing. Well,

1309
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: You're like, oh my god, you like you got you

1310
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: got the applau. Youre just like, hey, you go to

1311
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: a Laker game and somebody somebody got fifty sixty. What

1312
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? Hey, I got to get

1313
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: a man handy. I gotta I got the blaw that. Listen.

1314
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: It's a good concept. I don't know if I don't

1315
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: know if Clippers can pull it off, because.

1316
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 2: When you play the Lakers, I don't know how that

1317
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 2: wall stands stands tall.

1318
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: That's a Clipper Daryl section, and I think that's why

1319
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 1: that was the concept of it.

1320
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 2: But you really have to understand.

1321
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: This is chess not checkers, right, you know, and you

1322
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: have to really understand if I'm gonna if I'm gonna

1323
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: build something like that, I'm building on the on the

1324
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: behind the visitors, right, I'm a build a section where

1325
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: I can impact the opponent, Like this is an impact

1326
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: the opponent. This ain't college. I don't know if you

1327
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: have the loyal support from your fan base to pull

1328
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: that off, right, you know, Chicago can pull that off,

1329
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Boston Oakland Warriors, Boston can pull that off. New York Knicks.

1330
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: The garden can pull it off if they are winning,

1331
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: because if they lose.

1332
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 2: In that whole building becomes the wall to the Knicks.

1333
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: Yes, but what we've seen, I mean, think about it.

1334
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: We've seen Jorge, We've seen uh A Kobe, We've seen

1335
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: Lebron half performances in the Madison Square Garden and the

1336
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: gardens start cheering for them.

1337
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 2: We start Regie Miller.

1338
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:11,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's it's possible if you really, really,

Speaker 1: excuse me. The problem is two of those three guys

1382
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: can't play at that level consistently anymore.

1383
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 2: Only one guy, Kip if their allies. The problem. It's

1384
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 2: not that they can't.

1385
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: Yes, we've seen Clay have moments where he go get

1386
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight thirty plus, but those moments are few and

1387
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: far between. Yeah, So that's that's the issue, that that

1388
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: that they're that he's had, that they're having gilt. Yeah,

1389
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 1: you don't have You don't have the consistency of your

1390
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 1: greatness anymore. Right, And.

1391
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,560
Speaker 2: His speech is more loyalty than it is reality.

1392
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: Right, And this is loyalty talk, not reality talk. Right.

1393
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: You have one player that's that's great, and then you

1394
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: have your your second best players playing he's he's playing

1395
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: way below.

1396
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:15,520
Speaker 2: Expectations.

1397
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: Right.

1398
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 2: You know, his play right now is fourth option at best.

1399
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: And that's not the same three even though they won

1400
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 1: a championship, you know, a year and a half ago.

1401
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: You don't have the same three, right, you know, you

1402
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: know Draymond is winding down. But just like anything, Draymond's

1403
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: presence is with greatness. When you're not playing great, he

1404
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: looks crazy.

1405
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:48,640
Speaker 2: Yes, right, you know.

1406
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 1: When you're playing great, he's the perfect guy for greatness.

1407
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: When Dennis Rodmin is winning championships, he is great. You

1408
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: start putting them on bad teams and he wanted to

1409
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: take you the shoes. He's taking the shoes off, laying

1410
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: down on the sidelines. Get his ass of one out here, right,

1411
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: And that's that's where this team is. And what I

1412
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 1: would tell Steve kerk Okay, you won a championship a

1413
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. Is Clay playing at that

1414
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: level a year and a half ago?

1415
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 2: No? Is Andrew Wiggins playing at that level?

1416
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: Now Andrew Wiggins is on the bench, so he's not

1417
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: playing at that level.

1418
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 2: Is Draymond playing at that level?

1419
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Draymond just missed sixteen games, so he's not playing at

1420
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: that level.

1421
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 2: So, although what you're saying is absolutely correct.

1422
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: You did win a championship a year and a half ago,

1423
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: but tell me other than Steph Curry who's playing at

1424
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: that level, that you won that championship here, right, And

1425
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: that's the problem, you know, it's it's the whole, like

1426
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: I guess as a coach, as a player, as a player.

1427
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 2: You appreciate.

1428
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: This, yes, but as a player you need to have

1429
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: a reality check in real life. Guy, he's supposed to

1430
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: say this, he's supposed to say this. What was he

1431
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,520
Speaker 1: supposed to say? Oh, yeah, you know these guys are playing.

1432
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 2: Like this, and he's supposed to sound like us.

1433
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: No, So as a player, you need to understand that

1434
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 1: what he's saying is in reality and my ass is

1435
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: about to be up out of here. I could be

1436
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: traded any day now, so I need to really lock in.

1437
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:29,839
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if of course everyone is like that. Fear,

1438
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: the fear of being traded, should be driving you to

1439
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: be successful, right, I don't think sometimes people understand.

1440
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,799
Speaker 2: That the fear of me losing my spot, the fear.

1441
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: Of somebody taking, the fear someone's trying to take like Clay,

1442
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: the fear that when you hit the summer you not

1443
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna get the money you want, that should have you

1444
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: locked into a whole another dimension of a player. They

1445
01:16:58,600 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: ain't no.

1446
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 2: Going home and hanging on a goddamn bolt. I don't know.

1447
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't got no boat today. I was supposed to

1448
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: be in that gym, locked in because I'm afraid that

1449
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get this contract. I think the

1450
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: thing is. But correct me if I'm wrong. This is

1451
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: the first time that trade, that Clay's name has come

1452
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: up in trade discussions, So he's entering uncharted territory where

1453
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: things that he never had to worry about before is

1454
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 1: now a realization it could be his reality.

1455
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah it is.

1456
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, this is this is a rude awakening.

1457
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and and you know it's it's that

1458
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 2: we all go through it.

1459
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:46,480
Speaker 1: It's that that we we start feeling bad for ourselves.

1460
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: And I think this is where he's at, or he

1461
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: was trying to get out of it, like I feel

1462
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,440
Speaker 1: sorry for myself versus just saying, man, this is the basketball,

1463
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: this is the game.

1464
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 2: And then you know they don't be person anymore.

1465
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm going you know that have been Lamar older when

1466
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: he got traded in Dallas, or when the idea of

1467
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 1: that Chris Paul trade going and he felled hurt personally.

1468
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 1: He never recovered from that. No, he never recovered from that.

1469
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1470
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: But the question is, let me ask you, because of

1471
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: so much of what's plays success is tied to Golden State,

1472
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,600
Speaker 1: do you think he can have Can he have success somewhere.

1473
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 2: Else other than Golden State?

1474
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: Huh?

1475
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this right now. Oh oh, if.

1476
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 1: You Steve Kerr and this is your legacy, right championships, right,

1477
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: winning pedigree, do you have a room to lose? See

1478
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 1: that that's what happened with Phil Jackson. Get you start

1479
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 1: getting some losing teams, they want your ass out of that,

1480
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: right because just like Russell on this triple double, we expect,

1481
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: we expect something with that resume, So you don't have

1482
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 1: no room to come in here, and starts from the beginning,

1483
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 1: right because when you started the first time, y'all played

1484
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:22,799
Speaker 1: like this, and then y'all was championship ready. We expecting

1485
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 1: the same thing over here when I trade for you,

1486
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: which is not fair, not reality. So his best bet

1487
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: is the loyalty from Golden State, like it's been popped

1488
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: this whole time. See you know before if Pop went

1489
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: somewhere else after san Antonio, he would have already been

1490
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: fired again, Yes, he would all been fired. When you

1491
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: the NBA.

1492
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 2: They don't.

1493
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: Those general managers and presidents they're gonna fire the coach

1494
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: before they fired themselves, of course.

1495
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 2: So you know, I bring you in and you.

1496
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: Ain't performing, and they asking me questions someone, Hey, I

1497
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: gotta trade you. I got I gotta fire you because

1498
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fire myself for the food that I

1499
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: brung you, right, And that's that's that's the most gms

1500
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: are there escapegoat Goaten, the coaches themselves. So how much

1501
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: do you Steve Kerr said, this is not the last

1502
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: dance with the Big three, oh, the Warriors Big three.

1503
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: So do you see a scenario in which this team

1504
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: is together Draymond Clay Steph next season?

1505
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 2: Do coaches get drug tests at the NBA? I never.

1506
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: They don't get drunk, they don't. All right, this ain't

1507
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: the last dance. It's the boy you crazy is here?

1508
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 2: So this is it? You believe this is it?

1509
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: Man? They they this ain't the big Like, I'm sorry,

1510
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: this this Big three.

1511
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 2: Is the last dance for the Big three.

1512
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: If they bring in somebody else to help, it's not

1513
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: the Big three no more. One of y'all all are

1514
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna be four. One of y'all at Fox. Now they

1515
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: didn't know two three, one of y'all. Somebody go be

1516
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: four and five and they get created a full and five,

1517
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: so y'all might be here this one of y'all coming

1518
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: off the bench, jail. I want to know what you

1519
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: think about this. DeAndre Ayton is out due to an

1520
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: icy neighborhood. Reportedly, DeAndre Ayton tried for hours to combat

1521
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: the street of ice leading out of his neighborhood, but

1522
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: to no avail. So he's out of tonight's game versus Brooklyn. Wait, wait,

1523
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: I swear there was an ice. There was a sheet

1524
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: of ice in his neighborhood. So he was unable to

1525
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 1: get out of his neighborhood and get to the arena.

1526
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: So he was a d MP.

1527
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: He wait, he don't have legs. His legs overk.

1528
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 2: He can't walk out of his neighborhood. I'm trying to

1529
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 2: figure out. So what did he got? A ferrari? He

1530
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:03,759
Speaker 2: got a point? I been don't everybody got an sub?

1531
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 2: So you mean to tell me the sub couldn't.

1532
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: Get him out? I mean, wait, hold on, uh, like

1533
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: cause I think I read something. Then they send people

1534
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: up there for him.

1535
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 2: They say they try for hours toget. They couldn't hit

1536
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 2: him out.

1537
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:20,040

01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: thing ever. You ain't got no, you don't got no

1546
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: hot water. Yeah. I remember in ninety seven we had

1547
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: a situation where we had a blizzard and uh, people

1548
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: in the chat, if you're in Denver, you can go

1549
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: look it up. We end up getting like seventy almost

1550
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 1: eighty inches of snow in about twenty twenty four thirty hours.

1551
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: They ended up having to get snowbiles to go get

1552
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot of our players because we had a game

1553
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. So we ended up having to get snowmobiles

1554
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 1: to come get get a lot of the players out

1555
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 1: because there was so much snow and bring them and

1556
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 1: bring them to and bring them to the facility so

1557
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: we can get on the bus and lead It's hard

1558
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,760

01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:38,879
Speaker 1: So nobody in, nobody on the team.

1602
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:43,200

01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 2: it but you?

1604
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: So everybody else. So let me ask you a question.

1605
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: Did anybody else in that neighborhood go to work that day?

1606
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: So you the only way that miss. So everybody else

1607
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 1: got an opportunity, They got regular jobs, they got the work,

1608
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: but you did.

1609
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 2: You the only one that didn't get to work.

1610
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: No, that's great, That's hard to believe. Man. Most players

1611
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: always live in the same neighborhood for the most part,

1612
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 1: and you have neighbors and they got out and had

1613
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: to go to work because they don't have the luxury

1614
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 1: of sitting in the goddamn was unless the city, unless

1615
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 1: the city just stopped that day, right, you know, but

1616
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:16,719
Speaker 1: you know, unless the city stopped.

1617
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 2: But to miss a to miss I've never heard of

1618
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 2: that before.

1619
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 1: Well, here's clearly the city didn'top because they had a

1620
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:27,759
Speaker 1: game that night. Facts, So what's the weirdest DFP reason

1621
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 1: your teammate ever missed the game? Gil oh oh oh

1622
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 1: Ship Golden State Danny Fordson. He he got a d

1623
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: n P. So we played, like you know, the back

1624
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: to back, but the second game is on the road,

1625
01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: so we let the arena and then boom. We had

1626
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 1: to get on the plane and go, and he he

1627
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: ended up ended up turning into a suspension. But really

1628
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 1: it was a d n P. You know, family member died,

1629
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, his mother passed, and you know they called

1630
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 1: the house, you know, to give their condolences, and the

1631
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 1: mother picked up the phone. Oh come on, man, mom

1632
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 1: picked up the phone. Yeah, Danny told us you know that,

1633
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: don't me call him, my goddamn mama, because Danny didn't

1634
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 1: like to fly. So Danny didn't like to fly, so

1635
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 1: we always had a problem with if we have to

1636
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: go because you know, you know this, since since this

1637
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 1: is a long time ago, long alone time ago, he'll

1638
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: smoke after And I think that made him parannoy, right,

1639
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: I think that made him paranoy the flying. So he

1640
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: was the big dude when the plane got up, right,

1641
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 1: he wanted to lay.

1642
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 2: On the floor.

1643
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:57,880
Speaker 1: All the stewardess, you know, they rubbing his back and

1644
01:27:57,920 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: stuff and putting covers over him because he didn't like

1645
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:03,679
Speaker 1: to take off, right. So he was the one player

1646
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,759
Speaker 1: if he could put in his contract he just played

1647
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: home games, he would have, right, So he was getting

1648
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of dnps because trust me, that wasn't the

1649
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 1: only family remember that past that year, Hey, everybody was live.

1650
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 2: He's just condumction.

1651
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 1: He was like that movie Life when they read it

1652
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,679
Speaker 1: to about oh your past, your brother passed, your ball past,

1653
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: but so everybody will pass. This probably was like the

1654
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: third person that passed. And I think this time they

1655
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 1: just wanted to call. I think they just called to

1656
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 1: see if it was real. And then Bob picked up

1657

1748
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:50,679
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Impact Award.

1749
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 2: I discovered the Big Three during the pandemic and I

1750
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 2: love it.

1751
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Gil. Can you name a few things the Big Three

1752
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 1: does better than the NBA and why you love it? Thanks, Shannon.

1753
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,639
Speaker 1: The one thing that they do better than the NBA

1754
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:07,719
Speaker 1: is take care of their veterans. Right. The Big Three

1755
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:13,679
Speaker 1: concept is perfect. Players who still think they can play,

1756
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 1: who still want to play. They get to play in

1757
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 1: a half court setting right amongst their peers.

1758
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 2: And I don't understand the NBA.

1759
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 1: These are your guys, your your legacy is there, right,

1760
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:34,640
Speaker 1: doctor J.

1761
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 2: Gerving, Yes?

1762
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 1: Right? Well, Rick be Rick beart, Rick Mrick Mahorn, that's

1763
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:45,679
Speaker 1: your your like Clive Drexler, Gary Payton. Those are your

1764
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 1: players you supposed to be sponsoring. That should be a

1765
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 1: funnel like when players retire, that's the place that they

1766
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,599
Speaker 1: go because it's sponsored the healthcare Like.

1767
01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:01,960
Speaker 2: So what they're doing is they're they're feeding.

1768
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:08,400
Speaker 1: The legacy of the NBA better than you guys, R

1769
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 1: D R Food reviews, love it, Love it, the Unk

1770
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 1: and Gil do you see all star potential?

1771
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:18,840
Speaker 2: And Derek Lively? Honestly, I don't see.

1772
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:22,719
Speaker 1: Look, he does a great job of rim running, catching lobs,

1773
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 1: he goes to the front of the rim, somebody comes

1774
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: over to block Lucas shot. He's gonna put it back

1775
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 1: with the thunder dunk. But unless he develop a move

1776
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:34,680
Speaker 1: a post up, go to a shot. From what I

1777
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 1: see right now, I just see a guy that just

1778
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 1: goes and hunts rebounds, does a great job of rim running.

1779
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 2: But I don't see an All Star.

1780
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 1: Young Capella right here, get here, get here, get paid.

1781
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 1: He get paid here, gets some nice change for that

1782
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 1: style of play. But you know, for you to be

1783
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 1: an All Star, you have to have some type of

1784
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:58,759
Speaker 1: impact on the game itself, and just you know, getting

1785
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds, put it up, you know, catching lobs, that's

1786
01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 1: not that's not real impact. In the All Star voting,

1787
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 1: The Gift of Gas Show said, great show fellas. Why

1788
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 1: do you think a lot of coaches don't like playing

1789
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:14,960
Speaker 1: young talent and continue to burn out veterans like New

1790
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:18,760
Speaker 1: York coach because the veteran guys know what they know.

1791
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 1: Young guys you gotta teach, and that happens a lot.

1792
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: That's just not That's just not the NBA. That's like

1793
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. They want to play guys that know they

1794
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 1: have to do very little coaching because a lot of

1795
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:34,720
Speaker 1: times coaches don't want to coach, Like when it comes

1796
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 1: to the NBA, you know, most of these coaches don't

1797
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:39,480
Speaker 1: have job security.

1798
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 2: Right.

1799
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: So if I'm sitting with a veteran who's gonna go

1800
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:52,599
Speaker 1: in there and be a plus one or even right,

1801
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,679
Speaker 1: that is a great player for me versus this young

1802
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: guy that I don't know what he's going to do.

1803
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 1: He's gonna make a lot of mistakes. I don't want

1804
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 1: him making those mistakes on my job.

1805
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:05,720
Speaker 2: Right.

1806
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 1: So if I don't have the security of backing where

1807
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 1: I get to play these guys without any with any pushback,

1808
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: and you know my record don't count against me. If not,

1809
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the oldest goddamn players I can to

1810
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: give myself the best opportunity to win.

1811
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Gil.

1812
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 1: It's the situation where look, the veteran guys, more times

1813
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: than not, is gonna make not gonna to make the

1814
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 1: mistakes that the young guy's going to make making you

1815
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: making mistakes.

1816
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:36,360
Speaker 2: Now, the higher of the general.

1817
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 1: Manager, the owner, fans are looking at you like, well,

1818
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: why you got the young guy that he all they

1819
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 1: do is making mistakes. Ye, well, guy keeps making mistakes.

1820
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 1: That means he's not getting coachs. That means he's not

1821
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:49,080
Speaker 1: whatever you're teaching him is not processing. Well, who fault

1822
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,439
Speaker 1: is not processing? They say, it's your fault, So you

1823
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 1: got to go. So I'm gonna play the guys that's

1824
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 1: not gonna make the mistakes. Even though the young guys

1825
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: might be more talented, he's gonna make more mistakes until

1826
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:02,800
Speaker 1: he gets it right.

1827
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 2: And I can't afford him having the mistakes on my resume. Yeah.

1828
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 1: And I think some people just fans themselves and they

1829
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 1: have this idea that well, he needs to beat him

1830
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 1: out in practice. Oh no, no, no, that young horse

1831
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 1: is whooping that old dude's ass all up and down.

1832
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:26,040
Speaker 1: That that basketball that has no factor into that game.

1833
01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: When I was in Memphis. Right, them young boys Pargo

1834
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 1: and Shelby. Oh they was giving me though that work.

1835
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: Oh they was giving that work. Well, one thing I

1836
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 1: knew when it was game time, I know who getting

1840
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: to game you're gonna because that's when it counts.

1841
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 2: Right.

1842
01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the young guys are doing in

1843
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 1: the practice. If if my if my coaching job is

1844
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 1: is is in jeopardy because of my record, I'm not

1845
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 1: putting a.

1846
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,080
Speaker 2: Young dude in right.

1847
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: Jamal Grant said, if LBJ wants to win another championship,

1848
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 1: he needs the team up with a healthy Lonzo Ball,

1849
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:19,599
Speaker 1: a true point guard.

1850
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 2: Well, when is lonso gonna be healthy? Will he ever

1851
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 2: be healthy?

1852
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,080
Speaker 1: No, he don't need a Lonzo ball. He needs he

1853
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: can do with a melow ball.

1854
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:33,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, he can. He can play with a meloball.

1855
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 1: He Lebron needs people who can spread the floor, right right.

1856
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:43,679
Speaker 1: He doesn't need like, no matter how challenged you are,

1857
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't need someone who's gonna clog the lane with him.

1858
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 1: That's where he wants to go. His power is getting

1859
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 1: to the basket right, using his frame to get in there.

1860
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: So if there's guys in there on your team that

1861
01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 1: can't really spread the floor, right, you're you're useless to

1862
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, no matter how schedule are you're used to

1863
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:07,639
Speaker 1: someone like that, right, same box. What's up? Uh? Who

1864
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:10,840
Speaker 1: y'all got winning Rookie of the Year And tell Gil

1865
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 1: I'm putting ten k on him getting over nineteen point

1866
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: five in the shootout.

1867
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:18,599
Speaker 2: Don't let me down, Gil, I mean women Yama.

1868
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really think that either they're gonna give it

1869
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: to Wimby because.

1870
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 2: That's he is the the next he is the gonna

1871
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 2: be the face of the NBA.

1872
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:38,639
Speaker 1: If check goes on the run and the numbers are closed,

1873
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:41,760
Speaker 1: it could be get it. Now. It could be a cold.

1874
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 1: It could be a cold. It could I mean it could.

1875
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 1: It could be a cold. Like sometimes there's times where

1876
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 1: cold Rookie of the Years is it's better than actually

1877
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:57,760

Speaker 1: exactly being and Aaron Gordon that could have been cold.

1886
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:27,839
Speaker 1: There's some situations where if there's a loser, if someone

1887
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 1: feels that they like the audience is split in half,

1888

01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: nap person ever since college. I would, you know, I

1980

1981

01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:42,400
Speaker 1: Right when I wake up. I already know it's about

01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,680
Speaker 1: anywhere from three to four am. So when I wake up,

1998

Speaker 1: get in the shower, and just get out the house.

2000
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:55,719
Speaker 1: But you know what, Yill, everybody knows, My team knows

2001
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: my schedule.

01:46:57,080 --> 01:46:59,639
Speaker 2: Okay, shown them what time are you napping from?

2003
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: That's when I got I'm gonna take meetings, I'm gonna

2004
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 1: take calls, but I got to get that nap in

2005
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,519
Speaker 1: because if I don't, I'm gonna get irritable and then not.

2008
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: I go in and get that napping, even if it's

2009
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 1: only thirty minutes. That's about all I can sleep before

2010
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 1: the dogs, you know, they're at the door, wining, trying

2011
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: to come in and get on the bed.

2012
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:22,600
Speaker 2: So that's what I got it. I got it.

2013
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 1: But ash landy ready to answer your question. Ash didn't

2014
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 1: take a nap to day because she shouldn't have taken

2015
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:30,639
Speaker 1: taken a nap to day because I had slept till noon,

2016
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:34,320
Speaker 1: Joshua Homer said, gil looking back at all the teams

2017
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: you played for drafting, the second round to the Warriors,

2018
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:39,680
Speaker 1: then the Wizard, followed by Magic and Grizzly. Do you

2019
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 1: feel your best chance to win the Chip with the Wizards? No,

2020
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 1: I think my best year, my best the best team

2021
01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 1: that I played on as a group of individuals was

2022
01:47:56,520 --> 01:48:00,280
Speaker 1: when I got traded in Magic, when I got in

2023
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:06,400
Speaker 1: the Magic, like talent wise group of guys that were

2024
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 1: together as a team. Right, you got your big man,

2025
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,679
Speaker 1: you got your steady point guard, you got you got

2026
01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:16,519
Speaker 1: your shooters, right, you got your like it was a

2027
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 1: complete team. I was coming off the bench right right,

2028
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 1: and the second unit, you know, I was like Russ

2029
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:29,320
Speaker 1: at that time. I was the second unit. I got

2030
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: jj Reddick, I got all you know. That was probably

2031
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: all around the best team that I had, and I

2032
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:38,840
Speaker 1: was the best team to try to win a championship.

2033
01:48:39,040 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 1: And I don't think if if we would have had

2034
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:43,800
Speaker 1: a lockout, I don't think if Dwhite would have hurt

2035
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:46,320
Speaker 1: us back. I think us coming back that next year,

2036
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 1: we could have probably you know, did some work. I mean,

2037
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 1: Miami was gonna be you know, a hard feat, but

2038
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,560
Speaker 1: we had the White, right, we had we had a

2039
01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 1: Dwhite down there, so that that was probably the best

2040
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:02,959
Speaker 1: team that I had a chance of winning with Elijah

2041
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,200
Speaker 1: bald to ask, Hey, guys, what are your thoughts on

2042
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: if he can lead the Wolves to an eventual championship

2043
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:11,640
Speaker 1: in the future or get an MVP, and could he

2044
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,559
Speaker 1: potentially do a KG join a big market team.

2045
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:15,719
Speaker 2: I appreciate y'all.

2046
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:20,640
Speaker 1: KG didn't want to lead KG overstate is welcome in Minnesota.

2047
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:22,800
Speaker 1: KG should have been got the hell up out of town.

2048
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 1: I just hope that's not the case for a man,

2049
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 1: because KG was loyal to the soil, to a foult. Listen,

2050
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 1: there's no there's no history that the Wolves have on loyalty, right,

2051
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 1: every all the great and good pieces they've had, they've gotten.

2052
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:48,639
Speaker 2: Rid of them, Yes, right, they've they've gotten rid of them.

2053
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 1: There's not been So this is the longest tensure you

2054
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 1: know from you know, THEMN Cat that they had. So

2055
01:49:54,880 --> 01:50:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, I don't see this this team together two

2056
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 1: years from now, you know, and right now this is

2057
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:08,160
Speaker 1: a good Wolves team. Yeah, I mean, you know, I

2058
01:50:08,200 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: don't know what that Choke did. The damn the Frenchman

2059
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,719
Speaker 1: Rudy did, but Rudy got choked into a real player.

2060
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:19,679
Speaker 1: I mean, they're double doubling now, right, he's actually putting

2061
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:21,840
Speaker 1: up points and the fact that, like I think he's

2062
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:24,240
Speaker 1: done in the last twenty eight games he then had

2063
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:29,640
Speaker 1: a double double eighteen of them as all as a

2064
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:34,280
Speaker 1: third option that is needed. And then you know your

2065
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:37,679
Speaker 1: point guard steady, right, your point guard when you're talking

2066
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:42,559
Speaker 1: about like controlling something, you have a point guard who

2067
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:48,280
Speaker 1: has never been rattled enough to get a technical foul.

2068
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:54,799
Speaker 2: Right, So they have the ingredients to do some damage.

2069
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 1: And man can get an MVP if that team is

2070
01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:04,280
Speaker 1: won and he's doing what he's doing, he can Dpnis League.

2071
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be hard these bigs man, the numbers

2072
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 1: that he is putting up, Man, I mean, and and

2073
01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:14,519
Speaker 1: nicolea Jokic and johann Is I mean, now, it's just

2078
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Shae, look what Shade doing? Yeah, even even.

2079
01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:41,920
Speaker 1: Tatum, Like there's so much there's some like, to be honest,

2080
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 1: out of all the people named, Windy might have a

2081
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: better chance winning MVP within the next four years before him.

2082
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:54,320
Speaker 2: Man, yeah, true, I like it. I like his game.

2083
01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:57,360
Speaker 1: I like that you can see the work that he's

2084
01:51:57,400 --> 01:51:59,680
Speaker 1: put in and you can see him getting better and

2085
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:03,160
Speaker 1: better every single game. You can see it. That's when

2086
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:05,880
Speaker 1: you know a guy. Hey, a lot of times he

2087
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:09,120
Speaker 1: ain't posted. You ain't got a post. I'll see it

2088
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:11,840
Speaker 1: and again I'll see it in your game. So oh yeah,

2089
01:52:11,840 --> 01:52:14,160
Speaker 1: he put that time in and he plays. He plays

2090
01:52:14,200 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 1: both sides of the He plays both sides of the

2091
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean we should have known from the interview when

2092
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:21,880
Speaker 1: he was doing and he was basically telling you how

2093
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:25,599
Speaker 1: great he was and his confidence that he came in with,

2094
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,920
Speaker 1: let us know what type of player he was, and

2095
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:32,200
Speaker 1: the fact that it is panning out for him. And

2096
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:34,879
Speaker 1: I remember he did that interview about the Warriors workout

2097
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:39,559
Speaker 1: and that that told that told us who he was

2098
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 1: going to be. He said, he went to the Warriors

2099
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 1: workout and he's going hard, and they coming to him,

2100

2103
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,760
Speaker 1: this speed? He said, Man, I'm going in there trying

2104
01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:58,720
Speaker 1: to run. I'm running and shooting, breaking everything because I'm

2105
01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 1: going out of speed I never been at before, he said, Right,

2106
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 1: I got.

2107
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 2: Back in the car.

2108
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:06,400
Speaker 1: I called my he said, I called my He said,

2109
01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 1: I called my trainer and said.

2110
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 2: Hey, we need to go back to the drawing board.

2111
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:12,760
Speaker 2: Well we've been doing, ain't it?

2112
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:19,040
Speaker 1: Because if if I don't get picked first Golden State,

2113
01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:22,160
Speaker 1: ain't pick him a second, right, you know. And I'm

2114
01:53:22,160 --> 01:53:25,960
Speaker 1: not prepared. If I wasn't prepared for the number two team,

2115
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be prepared for a number one.

2116
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 1: So he went back to the drawing board because he

2117
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,960
Speaker 1: understood that what he was doing wasn't good enough.

2118
01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:34,720
Speaker 2: Wasn't good enough.

2119
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 1: Florid and Carlos super said, the eighty eight first Team

2122
01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:48,960

Speaker 1: and McKean in the front court, the old three first

2126
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:06,880
Speaker 1: Team All the NBA. You had Kobe and T Back

2127
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:11,440
Speaker 1: in the back court. Up front, you had KG, Duncan.

2128
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:18,439
Speaker 2: A Shack and this is old three shack, Oh, three

2129
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:19,640

Speaker 1: Eighty eight, eighty eight, eighty eight.

2131
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:27,080
Speaker 2: That eighty eight m J was on another level. Yeah,

2132
01:54:27,280 --> 01:54:28,840
Speaker 2: eighty eight MJ was under different.

2133
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:33,480
Speaker 1: That's that eighty dust. Kobe. Kobe wasn't that Kobe yet.

2134
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean he was Kobe, but he wasn't the unleashed

2135
01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:42,960
Speaker 1: Kobe T Man Uh KG Duncan. Then they both have

2136
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:45,240
Speaker 1: they strengthen weaknesses.

2137
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:48,920
Speaker 2: This is that you got the big Shack two versus

2138
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:55,640
Speaker 2: h came Damn. I might have to give it to

2139
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:59,680
Speaker 2: eighty eight. Eighty eight. That'll be a good one.

2140
01:55:00,520 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, you don't really, I mean you have

2141
01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:09,040
Speaker 1: you have shooting in bird and that's it magic, said

2142
01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:09,640
Speaker 1: cuter Lick.

2143
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 2: Eighty eight.

2144
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 1: Jordan didn't shoot threes like that. Barkley undersized, but he's

2145
01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:15,840
Speaker 1: very athletic.

2146
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:17,080
Speaker 2: I mean with Kobe T.

2147
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 1: Mack from the outside dunking at the mid post. I'm

2148
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with eighty eight because I think, uh, the

2149
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 1: two thousand and three clashes a lot, because Duncan and

2150
01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 1: Shack need that same right block and hey, KG, Yeah,

2151
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 1: so you have three guys who want the same side,

2152
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:40,680
Speaker 1: so that'd be a clash Barkley just did what Barkley did.

2153
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:44,560
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give it to eighty eight. That'd be

2154
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 1: a good one. I mean wow. I mean sometimes, I

2155
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:49,920
Speaker 1: mean you go back and you look at the teams

2156
01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:56,400
Speaker 1: and you looking like Barkley making it, Malone not making it,

2157
01:55:56,560 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 1: Malone making it, Barkley not making it.

2158
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 2: I mean, because you know Bird was gonna get one

2159
01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 2: of those first teams. Yeah.

2160
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 1: So basically Bird because once Jordan broke through, you like, Okay,

2161
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 1: Jordan gonna make it every year. So okay Bird, I

2162
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 1: mean Jordan Magic gonna be the back court. Okay, uh

2163
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:18,840
Speaker 1: who who I mean? Because you got a King, you

2164
01:56:18,920 --> 01:56:23,520
Speaker 1: got David Robinson, you got Patrick Ewing, those are your bigs. Yeah,

2165
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:25,840
Speaker 1: so you kind of rotate those guys who ever have

2166
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:28,720
Speaker 1: the best season. But you know, kind of like Bird

2167
01:56:28,760 --> 01:56:32,600
Speaker 1: Magic and uh mj they on the first team. You

2168
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 1: only got two spots.

2169
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah see.

2170
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 1: And I think what's throwing it off is on this

2171
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:40,280
Speaker 1: one that KG duncan yes on it all because you

2172
01:56:40,280 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 1: don't have a real true three. Nope, you don't have

2173
01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 1: a real true three man there to to to go

2174
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:51,600
Speaker 1: at Bird, right, So really, Bird to just be playing

2175
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:56,120
Speaker 1: in the post against Kg, who's not aggressive enough to

2176
01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:57,080
Speaker 1: take advantage of this.

2177
01:56:57,760 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I'm gonna give it.

2178
01:56:59,080 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 1: To eighty eight.

2179
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,800
Speaker 2: That'd be a great matchup. Shack I would have with

2180
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:07,320
Speaker 2: shock Shack. What you think I mean, shock Shack, shock Shack.

2181
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean that that shock right, that Shack will bust

2182
01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 1: that young Hakeem ass. Because this ain't the This ain't

2183
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:17,720
Speaker 1: the n D pen right here in eighty eight. No, no,

2184
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:20,320
Speaker 1: no, no no, they say the ad is. So this is

2185
01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 1: this is this goes back to Shack advantage. He better

2186
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:26,000
Speaker 1: he better have his lungs though, because this is this

2187
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:28,879
Speaker 1: is King right here all day. But they.

2188
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:32,120
Speaker 2: But this this was thin minutes though.

2189
01:57:32,160 --> 01:57:36,320
Speaker 1: This one, this one looked like he weighed about two twenty. Yeah,

2190
01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 1: but that dream that dream shape though, Yeah, that bove.

2191
01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 1: But it's been it's been a good matchup. But like

2192
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:47,840
Speaker 1: I said, Man, Magic Bird, M J. Barkley, M King,

2193
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 1: T Max Kobe, KG, Tim Duncan and Shaq. Yeah, they

2194
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 1: got the size, the all three got the size. Yeah

2195
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:57,920
Speaker 1: they have this size.

2196
01:57:58,040 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 2: They don't have.

2197
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 1: The they have the athleticism, oh absolutely, But yeah, it's

2198
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 1: just it's just KG, Duncan Shack just clashing.

2199
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:21,680
Speaker 2: They're just gonna clash right, get back up here to

2200
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:22,240
Speaker 2: the top.

2201
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:28,280
Speaker 1: Please make can bully anybody, but he was crafty enough

2202
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:32,040
Speaker 1: to crafty. All he wants is enough separation to hit

2203
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 1: that step back in your eyes, and it'd be hooked

2204
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 1: on it. It'd be hard on that seven foot of
