1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: After the Lakers were bounced in five by the Wolves,

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: injury news has been creeping out. First and them are

4
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: I revealed that Lebron James suffered a grade to MCL

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 2: sprain and it's left knee in the fourth quarter of

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Game five. The injury intails of three to five week

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: recommended recovery timeline. Then it was reported that Austin Reeves

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: was dealing with a left big toe's sprain during the playoffs.

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: Was considered the two to four week injury, but he

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: gutted it out. Reeves was reportedly not walking on it

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: on days off to try to get through the playoffs.

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: You know, the internet's reacting because it seems like every

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: time a Lebron lose, they say, see this is why

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: he lost Rob.

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 3: You close to this situation.

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: What I told LO when they did and said would

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: they need a big I said, they only gonna go

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: so far.

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: I said, because if Jackson Hayes.

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: Don't give you quality minutes now, you're gonna put him out.

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: And you ain't got nobody else to put in there

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: as a big. You got Lebron or really playing the

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: four in the four and the five that's too small.

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: Way, way too small.

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: And that's why you have to give Jackson Hayes a

27
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: chance in that series. And and it was weird when

28
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: when when Lebron hit that guy, and I know everybody

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: always want to say Lebron had antics. I watched his

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: knee being and that's how I strained my MC and

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: was out just six weeks. And you know, Lebron is

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: he's a he's a alien when it comes to that,

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't get hurt, and so people want to talk

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: about that. You know, but that team is just too small.

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: You think about all the teams you could have played.

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: You got a hold of the wrong one right in Minnesota,

37
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: you think about it. They they're just long, they're athletic,

38
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: they're tough, and then they pissed off.

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 3: They pissed off at Luca because he bounced him last year.

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: And so the one thing that coaches do they learn

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: if you watch how the Minnesota temple was coach Luca,

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: it was like, no, don't switch. We did that mistake

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: last year. Put go Barron and his the three. So

44
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: we didn't switch this season. And that's one of the

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: things that you know, they learned that from Boston too,

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: because that's how Boston was able to, you know, beat

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: the beat the Dallas marriage because you know, we're not sweeching.

48
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: We came out best defender. And I talked about that earlier,

49
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: how lazy guys are. Now, man, it's not even a damn.

50
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: It's like, why, it's like, you're a better defender. And

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I look at JJ. I'm like, in game in game four,

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm like a man out did cooking you and your

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: best defender is on the freaking bench at Van do

54
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: give him a chance. At least he got four file,

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: six files. You're gonna go to the hole, You're gonna

56
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: get about the floor. And so that's why I was

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: looking at Jason, like, dude, what are you doing. I'm

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: not even mad at JJ. I'm mad at Nate, that

59
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: mad at Scottie cause you two head coaches are sat

60
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: right over there and let him do this dumb stuff

61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: because you can think it's a reason that that's the.

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: First time it was ever done the playoffs. Yeah yeah,

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: but you can't.

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: I mean you're asking him and I don't care how

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: great you are, and oh you and I we we

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: debated this job, like, man, you gotta get it done.

67
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, the minus willing. But the body just

68
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: ain't able. The man had you played forty one minutes

69
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: a couple of nights before. Now you're running back forty

70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: six on forty year old legs, and then.

71
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: You put forty forty four minutes only in game five.

72
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, and what people forget is he's

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: played more playoff games and everybody.

74
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: So that's equivalent to, like, I think, four seasons.

75
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: So you gotta add four seasons onto the twenty seasons

76
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: that he's played twenty two. Yeah, yeah, so he got

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: to think of that's so that's it. So that's why

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way. You got Gabe Vincent over there,

79
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: who's got NBA Finals experience, give him some burn.

80
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: You know.

81
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: I think the biggest mistake that the Lagers made all

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: season was not trying to figure out how the implement

83
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Dalk can connect into the system. Yeah, you know, you

84
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: think about him. That's that's the flame throw over there.

85
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: You gotta give him a chance, you know, you got

86
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: you think about it, you got you talk about scoring,

87
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: but then you put Vando in there, who's the.

88
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: Better you can dunk connect. Van ain't even looking at

89
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: the rim unless it's a lay up on a wide

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: open dunk. But I think that what JJ Gatom said

91
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: about don't connect because he don't he his defensive assignment.

92
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: He out there like a blind dog in the me house.

93
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Do I show head isn't Luca and isn't aar And.

94
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: But that's the fact. See, that's the problem with the Lakers.

95
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 2: You're getting getting beat off the first dribble. Ninety percent

96
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: of the time, are getting beat off the second dribble.

97
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: Lebron can't sit in the chair at forty anymore. So

98
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: now you've got three guys that really I mean, Lebron

99
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: will try to body you.

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you're gonna chase it down. He's gonna

101
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: make some he's gonna make some great defensive plays. But

102
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: when you got Luca and ar And you don't have

103
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: no I mean, when you had a D you had

104
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 2: some help.

105
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: Now you don't have a D.

106
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: So now and Jackson Hayes, I mean, sometimes, hey, he

107
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: a good lob threat and we'll get it off the rim,

108
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: you know, get a rebody to put it back.

109
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 3: But for the most part he's not. You're not counting

110
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: on him to get you much anyway.

111
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: If we get we can steal fifteen twenty minutes from

112
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: him a rob Wait good, we wait, we got that

113
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: all we wanted.

114
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: You know, you know you think about that's all you

115
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: need because people don't realize that the reason the Mavericks

116
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: was so good last year is because those two bigs

117
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: they had, they was erasing all of Luca's mistakes.

118
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: Everybody. Yeah, it's like you go for the rack.

119
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Okay, you got them guys blocking shots, and you know,

120
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: it's so people forget how important certain bigs are to

121
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: the team because they can erase like what Ad did.

122
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Ad saved him so many times. And I think about

123
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: when they played Denver last year. You expect Ady to

124
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: do everything, like dude, he can't guard some guys on

125
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: the perimeter, you know.

126
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: And so you think about Murray Murry like, Okay, I'm

127
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: a really good shooter.

128
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to separate from a d Yeah, eighty keep

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: the defendant on him.

130
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: That eighty eRASS mistake when he gets to the whole right.

131
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: And so it's so many little things like that, and

132
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: the reason that I would never want to coach or

133
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: be an assistant coach because I'm like, dude, I'm looking

134
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: at my arrogance to be like, Look, I played with

135
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: three of the best centers in the world.

136
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: I don't want seven championships. You're gonna freaking tell me.

137
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, So

138
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't been in every situation. There's a reason that

139
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: I've won seven championship. There's a reason that Dream respects me,

140
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Shack respects me, Ten respects me because I wasn't afraid

141
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: to yell at them and tell them what to do

142
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: and put them in the right place, in the right

143
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: frame of mind.

144
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: And when you got guys that I like that, you're

145
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: gonna be good. Man.

146
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: That's what I like about the Celtics, and that's what

147
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: I like about the Calves this year. That's who I

148
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: got winning all the Calves. I know y'all don't ask

149
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: him that, but I just threw that out there.

150
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: You got the Calves. You got the Calve to come

151
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: out of the East. I got the Calves. I got

152
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: the Calves winning at all. Man.

153
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: I don't know why that wrong, because they ain't be no,

154
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: they ain't bet none of the top teams. They lost

155
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: the ball. I think they best ones, but I think

156
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 2: they lost Boston.

157
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: Once they lost to they lost to a okay see,

158
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: I think both.

159
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: Times, yep, but I'm not worried about it. You know

160
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: why why Because playoffs is a different thing. They got

161
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna be able to focus on the team, and in

162
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you think about the okay see, okay see

163
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: gets a lot of their points. How when Shaan Gilders

164
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: gets to the free throw line, you don't get those

165
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: free throws because you get the best reps and they

166
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: don't give you that BS that you got called to

167
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: go to the street throw line shoot twelve fifteen feet throws.

168
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: So I think I think Cleveland this year because of

169
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: the way they were playing and those two bigs back there,

170
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: Allen and different every Yeah, Boston can play too big

171
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: with presiliers of al Harper.

172
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: You look at okayc you mentioned it.

173
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: They can play two bigs with Hard and Stein and

174
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: chet Hungery and see, and tonight.

175
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: We learned Houston can play too big.

176
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: I shouldn't go in there in Adams who who that

177
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: was possible?

178
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: But I just say I think though, you know, when

179
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: you look at the totality of the thing and the

180
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: way fucking Spiders playing, now Spider really realizes that I

181
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: need my teammates, and he doesn't try to just do

182
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: it all on his own like an MJ, like a

183
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: Kobe did you know at times? So he's relying on

184
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: this team and I just think it's just and I

185
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: really like the way Moby's playing right now.

186
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: He's killing man.

187
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick said the Lakers have to get in championship shape.

188
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: Their individuals that were phenomenal that that were in phenomenal shape.

189
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: There's certainly ones that could have been in better shape.

190
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: We've got to get in championship shape.

191
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: Rob, Are you a fan of JJ publicly taking shot

192
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: because we know who he talking about? Hey, first of all,

193
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: what does JJ know about championship shape? Has he ever

194
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 3: want a championship.

195
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: I just want to know what this championship shape, That's

196
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: all I'm asking you know, do you know what championship

197
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: shape it is? Because for me, when you talk about

198
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: championship shape that you've been there, done that, and you

199
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: talking about championship shape, that shit starts in the summertime,

200
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: then it goes into training camp.

201
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: And then that goes through in the season.

202
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: If you want somewhere in championship shape, he don't take

203
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: the last three games off because you say, okay, I'm

204
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna get some rest. You use those games to get

205
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: in shape. And so for me, I don't know why

206
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: he said that, because you already think about Luke already

207
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: in the point where he's all mentally all screwed up.

208
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: Because the way Dallas got rid of him, right and

209
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: he got to sign extension, he might take that ass

210
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: and shot him. He out, So you don't know what

211
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: he why he said that. You know, it's just the

212
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: weirdest thing to me, I think.

213
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: The thing but it seems to me, now you you,

214
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: like I said, Rob, you know basketball bodies and you know.

215
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: You you you you've been there.

216
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: But it seems to me every year Luca wears down

217
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: and he's limping more and more in the playoffs. And

218
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: we saw that this year. We saw that last year

219
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 2: and against some of the teams that was wonder where

220
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: if Luca gonna play, and we saw him in Boston.

221
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: It seemed like every year he's boy wears dow once

222
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: he gets to the playoffs.

223
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, you know, when you think

224
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: about when Luca first got to the Lakers, how they

225
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: were humming, and you know what the difference was that

226
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: Luca wasn't handing the ball as much. You know, if

227
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: you think about the last this is some of the

228
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: series here. He wanted the ball every time and to

229
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: bring it up. And you when you got tough defenders

230
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: like Minnesota, that's gonna bring it get out.

231
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

232
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: And so you got Ar, you got the Lebron, you

233
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: even got gave Vista to.

234
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: Bring it up.

235
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: Go stand your ass in the corner and so take

236
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: a break. And for me, I look at what he

237
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: didn't know the plays and he was trying to get.

238
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: For me, they looked so damn good because Ar come down, Lebron,

239
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: come down, He'll come down. And they was moving the basketball,

240
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: it was cutting, it was just playing basketball.

241
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: He's playing instinctively. But then I come down where he

242
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,119
Speaker 3: goes that.

243
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: That clothing, he goes to the mid to go to

244
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: the high polest and just basketball, drivel the clock out.

245
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

246
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: So and it gets to some point where you think

247
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: about all the energy Lebron had and because he wasn't

248
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: bringing the ball up. Yes, so sometimes you have to

249
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: get off the ball, and I don't think Luca can

250
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: do that because that's the only way he knows how

251
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: to play it.

252
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: And that's so you took the words right out of

253
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: my mouth. You see, it's easy because Lebron can play

254
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: off the ball. You put him in the dunker spot,

255
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: you put him in, you put him in the high posts.

256
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: You can throw it to him. He can find somebody.

257
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: Luca needs the ball. Luca can't play. Luca can't. His

258
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 2: game hasn't evolved yet to where he can play off

259
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: the ball like Lebron can. And I think this is

260
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: what's going to cause Lebron to play another two more years,

261
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: three more years, because he's off.

262
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,239
Speaker 3: The ball and he doesn't have that bird.

263
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: Of bringing it up, having to run the set, get

264
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: everybody else involved.

265
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: Now he's like, hey, y'all got a look at they are.

266
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: Let me let me let me shoot from spot up

267
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 2: three's put me in that dunken spot so I can

268
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 2: get the baseline and lay it up a dunket.

269
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: Hey, you know what I'd like to see him.

270
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: I like to see him just take him to the

271
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: post because he got so many posts up moves he

272
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: can use because it's about moving quick. I even put

273
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: him in an elbow situation. You need to run some

274
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: type of pitch post and let him go to work.

275
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: That's one, two dribbles to the whole he dunking on people.

276
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: You know.

277
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's efficiency of movement to me, when you get

278
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: to a certain age, do I need to take three

279
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: steps four steps of five steps to be efficient? Now

280
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking three because I mean I can say two

281
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: later on. And for me, that's what he has to

282
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: learn how to do, like just go on the post.

283
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: You think about how long Tim duncan play. You know,

284
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: he's a different type of player, but Lebron has the ability.

285
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just take you to the post. I'm gonna

286
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: jump HOOKI, I'm gonna do a little fade away and

287
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: that's all he has to do. He's gonna still averry

288
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: about twenty four to twenty five points like that because

289
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: he's that much better than everybody else.

290
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: How many more years you think Lebron is realistically gonna

291
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: play because he said this every year they getting out

292
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: of the playoffs, like, I don't know how much long

293
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: I got And then he's like, hey, he seems to

294
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: be like a guy.

295
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: He's gonna ride the train till the will falls off. Yeah.

296
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, the funny thing about Lebron is he is

297
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: such a big kid and when you're young and hard

298
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: and young and min like that, you can you can

299
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: play a couple more years. I think when I hit

300
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: my sixteenth season, I feel like a whole far.

301
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do it no more. Mentally that

302
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: was strong. I was. That was done.

303
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: And so for him, you think about how much you

304
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: think when you watch him more up. I think every

305
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: time I'm watching when he's smiling, he's dancing every damn night,

306
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: And for me, I had nice one. I'm like, dude,

307
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't even want to be out here right now

308
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: because I'm hurting. But he still has that love, that joy,

309
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: that energy, and you know, I think he probably gonna

310
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: play like maybe three more years because he ain't gonna

311
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: wait to see what Bryce's gonna do. Even the first

312
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: guy to play with two two his sons and the

313
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: NBA heat, Brice gonna.

314
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: Look like he's gonna fit in that record. Nobody gonna

315
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: break it. Yeah, you know, it's it's weird, and nobody's

316
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: gonna break those records.

317
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: Man. You know, the only person can break a record

318
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: like that is someone who's coming straight out of high school.

319
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: Maybe scoring he's thinking like the way Lucas scores. But

320
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: he ain't gonna make it that damn. He thinking about

321
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: who else because Katie is not gonna make it that

322
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: much longer. So nobody's ever going These records are gonna

323
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: be then be out of this world.

324
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: Oh Joe, you think j J shoud taking a shot

325
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: at Luca publicly?

326
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not sure if it was directed at Luca.

327
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: I think something like that should be kept in house. Issue,

328
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: But listen, and especially something like that.

329
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: To be wrong. I want to know who you think

330
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: it was directed that it wasn't directed.

331
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you're right back that, but listen, something

332
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: like that you keep in house. Yeah, yeah, I mean

333
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: you he was a future other Lakers, and I had

334
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: a head coach really taking a shot that you publicly

335
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: mean you could have kept that in house and just

336
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: talked me. He could he talk, He could have talked

337
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: about something else. But I think he wanted to send

338
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: a message. You want to send a message. That's the

339
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: way he felt he wanted.

340
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: To send it.

341
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it at this point time, I mean, it's got

342
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: to be able. You see what happened, and they were

343
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: talking about that Nico love. Everybody brought Nico, but that

344
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: was a Nico call. That was a ownership call. Yeah,

345
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: because that ain't Nico's money. Three forty five, but not

346
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: one penny was coming out of Nico's pocket. They made that,

347
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: and Nico obliged them and moved it and got you know,

348
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: because they have gotten a bigger package. Yeah, but they

349
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: didn't want it to get out because you start calling

350
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: around teams and that get out.

351
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Yeah, it's gonna get back to Listen, I'll

352
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: tell you what.

353
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: Listen to J J. Reddick and anyone else in the

354
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: Lakers organization.

355
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 4: You know, miss buss Uh, brother Polinka and y'all got

356
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: a problem with with Luca not being in shape. Now listen,

357
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 4: we got something. We got some good gym down here

358
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: in Miami. We'll we'll get him together. We're getting together

359
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: in Miami now. So think about that. Luca, Johannis and

360
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: John Moran. We could take all we could take all of.

361
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: Them dominant guys. Now that ain't working.

362
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: Hey, you know I traded Luca for Hero and and

363
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: and Bam, give me up too. I'll give you Luca.

364
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, because now I got and I got

365
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: me a shoot it hm. But you're gonna keep a

366
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: here a R and here Hero basically the same guys.

367
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: That's that's true.

368
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: But the thing about Ar is you can use him

369
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: for get him to get you something else.

370
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: You put him out for something else.

371
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: But what I love about Ar is that how he's grown.

372
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: He's gotten better every single year. And if I didn't

373
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: tell you, if you didn't know, you would never know

374
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: he was an undrafted free agent.

375
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: That's so true. You know. The thing I like about

376
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: Ar is he learns from his mistakes.

377
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: And I and the one thing that I think he's

378
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna sit back and now that I know that his

379
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: toe was hurt, that he wasn't aggressive enough for me.

380
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: When Ar is going downhill, he's such a good player,

381
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: but when he's trying to think he's shifty with the

382
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: rock and gets caught up and lose it, that's not

383
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: That's not the Ar I want to see. I think

384
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: when you think about how many times when he gets you,

385
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: he just makes a direct line to the basket, plump,

386
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: fake should gets you there. I guess the n one

387
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: like I don't even think he went to the free

388
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: throw line in the last two games because he wasn't

389
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: trying to get to the rack. And I don't know,

390
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: because it had a lot to do with Minnesota's defense

391
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: because they're big and the struggle you watch our ant

392
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: man was just bullying him up the top, not letting

393
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: him into his his position. So for me, he's going

394
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: to have to learn how to just keep it simple.

395
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is, I'm just gonna take one,

396
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: two dribbles, pull up. I always got to get to

397
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: the wreck, you know. I got to fake you, pump,

398
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: fake you this, and go this way. And and it's about,

399
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: like I said, these fishes because if you're really think

400
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: about ar he's crafty, but he's not quick with it. No,

401
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of like Luca. He's just kind of slow

402
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: with it. He can get off because the defense is

403
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: moving faster than you are. So that's how you aim

404
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: to get those files.

405
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: They just trying to They try to send a message

406
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: anywhere you can. If I'm Luca, I will get with

407
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: Lebron and say, bro, what you do? What you do?

408
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: Can I look? And now I was talking like you

409
00:17:54,600 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: know with you and what you do? I said, you

410
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: know what, I know they got Slovenian food. That's that's nutritious.

411
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: But see the problem is he ain't a Slovenia. You know,

412
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: you come to America and you try to eat nady food.

413
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: We donna added up to it and gets you have

414
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: the house over here. Because you go back to look

415
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: at Luca his first couple of years when he got

416
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: to the NBA, and look out many he is.

417
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 3: And look a lot of a lot of those European players,

418
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 3: they don't have the bodies like an American players. They're

419
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: not gonna have the castle they shoulders in the definition.

420
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 3: Look at yo kitsch, look at Luca, look at Manu,

421
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: look at Zingers. That's not how they're built.

422
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: So but if you go back and look at your

423
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: kitch when he first got the league and how he looked, now.

424
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: You could tell he put time in.

425
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: He said, man, I'm hey, I ain't finna be no

426
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: flash fast lobby'll don't it to be talking about me?

427
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: And now three m vps and two runner ups later,

428
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: the guys one of the great, one of the historically

429
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: great players of all time.

430
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: And that's because he made them. He made a.

431
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: Concerted effort to get his butt in the gym, to

432
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: watch his nutrition, to work, and to become what he became.

433
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 2: But I just think Luca just wears down because last

434
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: year he had that same problem. You know, he was

435
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 2: dealing with a knee, and year before that he had

436
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: some issues going on. I just think, you know, and

437
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: it's hard because the guy's giving you twenty eight eight,

438
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: eight and eight, But bro, I.

439
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: Need you one hundred percent for the playoff too, or

440
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 3: it's close to it.

441
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: And hell, I don't think he's nearly close to that,

442
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: especially especially this series here, because he moved like an

443
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: old man.

444
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: Hey, but they think about it.

445
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: He did lose weight Comparedtive when we first gown the Lakers,

446
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: so he lost about ten pounds pounds, so we.

447
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 3: Got to be thinking he's going in the right direction. Yeah,

448
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: we gotta go. We got to go in the right direction.

449
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: I'm surprised given that, knowing how a lot of people

450
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 2: saying Luca, you know, hookah Luca, and you know he's

451
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: dranking beer and he parted and he doesn't take it serious.

452
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to say that he doesn't take

453
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: it serious. But do I think if conditioning could be better, Yes, absolutely,

454
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: But I think he takes the game. There is you

455
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: don't get to be discount this good by not taking

456
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: the game serious, but I do think his conditioning and

457
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 2: the nutrition can be more on point.

458
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for me when I watched Luca, you know,

459
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: I think he should do a lot of agility work

460
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: in the summertime, working on his footwork, working on his flexibility,

461
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: because a lot of his injuries are coming from just

462
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, not being You can tell he's not a

463
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: flexible guy.

464
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: No, you know, he needs to do yoga, appilates or

465
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 3: something all summer.

466
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: And because when you watch him move sometimes he stays

467
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: in front of people and he's so big body that

468
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: he bounce off me. He just doesn't do it all

469
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: the time. If he works on his footwork, he works

470
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: on his feet and agility, so he can become a

471
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: decent defender because he can do it.

472
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: He just don't want to. No.

473
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: And the thing is that he's so good on the

474
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: other end about that's the problem. He's so great offensively,

475
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: like we let somebody else, Hey, we'll do four and five,

476
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: y'all have that. Don't even worry about the Luca because

477
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: we see he get the man gave you a sixty

478
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: to twenty triple double, he can give you a forty

479
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: point triple double or fifty point triple double like nothing.

480
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, I was surprised.

481
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: But let me ask you this, do you think, Nico,

482
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: do you think Dallas was right about Luca but was

483
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: wrong for the trade.

484
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 3: S?

485
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: You know what was right about Lucas has one of

486
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: those questions you have to deep dive into the franchise

487
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: and get to know Luca and how his stuff. You know,

488
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: I always said when he came into the season, he's

489
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: always came in fluffy, yes, and he never came in shape.

490
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that you can tell,

491
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: like when your back start hurting, you know you can

492
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: go a couple of years. Remember Ad Yeah, started the

493
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: season off. His back was because he was fluffy, he

494
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: wasn't in shape. He's out, yeah, and then he got

495
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: then he got in shape and he played whatever the

496
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: number game. It's about what you do in the off season.

497
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: It's about what you do in condition wise and being

498
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: prepared for the grind of the regular season. And I

499
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: think with Nico, I agree when he said it wasn't

500
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: his call because I just think when Nico messed up,

501
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: when he the one line he messed with said I

502
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: didn't know.

503
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: How important Manka was.

504
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: That's but other than that, you just says, yo, man,

505
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: I know you can't throw the owners under the bus

506
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: and be like, yo, I think I'm doing what I'm

507
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: told to do. I work for someone, just like a

508
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: lot of you guys do. But I understand where he

509
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: was coming from because if you if you really look

510
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: at that team and you look at what they had

511
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: with the addition of a D, I thought they had

512
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: a position to do something scary because Kyrie, oh, you

513
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: forget how good Kyrie is PJ.

514
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 3: Washington, and then you know you got yeah, yeah, but

515
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: it was just it was just a bad time.

516
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: But I also think with me, you know, I love

517
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: ad is one of my favorite players of all time,

518
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: but I think a D moving to the four making

519
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: him soft. And what I mean by that is I'm

520
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: not saying physically, because it's making him not be aggressive.

521
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: You watch him in the last couple of games and

522
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: playing game all he did want to shoot threes and

523
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: that and you're so effective. Think about when he was

524
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: in New Orleans they gave him the pinch post. He

525
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: was doing spinning, dunking on people, shooting threes, setting you up.

526
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: But once he said he wanted to be I know

527
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: he had budget boogie with him, but it was like

528
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: he didn't play the same way. He didn't shoot a

529
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: lot of threes. And so for me, it's making him

530
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: soft in the sense that I'm gonna I'm gonna sell them.

531
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: When I say soft of me selling instead of like

532
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: trying to right defeat through Lina.

533
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Look, because Luca is so great, because

534
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: he was so beloved.

535
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they drafted the kid. He was eighteen when

536
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 3: he got there. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard for

537
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: me to believe. Nico. You were to go marketing guy

538
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: for Nike. You understand who does what, and we moved

539
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 3: the needle nobody you know exactly.

540
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: You know what Shaye means the OKC. You know what

541
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum means to Boston. You know what Jaylen Brunson

542
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: means to the Knicks.

543
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: And you talking about and and and and and Jaylen

544
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: Brunson got traded to the Knicks, Shae got traded to OKC.

545
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: So you talk about a homegrown Kobe, homegrown tray Lebron

546
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 3: and Hallway what Dirk meant to that team? So I

547
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: agree with you.

548
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Bob. I don't know about that

549
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: I'll just say, hey, hey guys, we're gonna move it.

550
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: We're gonna move it on. I mean, Luca's out here anymore.

551
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: We got to answer the Davis. We're gonna add some

552
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: more pieces. Kyrie got hurt. That's what really made it

553
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 2: look bad. Kyrie got hurt. So hey, we get Kyrie.

554
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 2: They probably gonna try to make a run for KD

555
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: because KD probably gonna be up out of Phoenix, and

556
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: now we might be having a different story. August second,

557
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 2: the Lakers can offer Luca a four year, two hundred

558
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: and twenty nine million dollar extension, or Luca could op

559
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: just signed a three year, one sixty five extension with

560
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: a player option in twenty twenty eight, which would then

561
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 2: allow him to side a MAX deal in twenty twenty eight.

562
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: They give him thirty five percent of the salary cap

563
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: for the next five seasons. Once you're doing rob, you

564
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 2: taking the four years at two twenty nine, three years

565
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 2: of one sixty five with a player option, and then

566
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: at twenty eight, let me gonna.

567
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: Get that for HUNDI, Hey, I'm taking the four years.

568
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 3: You want that money, you want that guarantee.

569
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: You want that guarantee, Buddy, I want that guaranteed money

570
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: now and deal with it then. You know, hey, but

571
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: think about it, so many guys, you and this day

572
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: and age, you take the four years. Hey, I want

573
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: to redegotiate my contract. Oh I want to be traded.

574
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: You know, it's so many things you can do. So

575
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm taking the four years because I'm a I don't

576
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to trust my body.

577
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: If you think about how many injuries he's gotten, I

578
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: have to have to go with the money now, because

579
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: you've see it, what happened to him. You see what

580
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: happened that so many guys who bet on themselves right right,

581
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: and they failed on him.

582
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: So I'm taking the money. What you doing?

583
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: You're taking the money or you're gonna play plate side

584
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: three years? What to do with an option? And then

585
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: go to the table said, let me let me get

586
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: that five. Let me get that five for? Uh?

587
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: You got five for?

588
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: I mean, well, I'm gonna take that three because if

589
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 4: I'm I'm betting on my body, and I'm only betting

590
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 4: on my body because I ain't never been hurt, so

591
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: probably I'm I'm I'm gonna play another three season not

592
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: get hurt.

593
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: And go back to the table hit across the head.

594
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 4: Thats just me, but understanding Luca and his injury history,

595
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: and it seemed I mean no disrespect in anyway, it

596
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 4: seemed like his body continued to deteriorate, especially towards the

597
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 4: end of the season.

598
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 3: I'm expecting something.

599
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 4: Like that to continue to happen because as you get older,

600
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 4: it don't get better. No, it don't get better. So

601
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, yeah, you know, but listen, what Luke,

602
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: what Luca can do. What Luca can do is he

603
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: could take that three if he if he adapts and

604
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 4: does everything Lebron does when it comes to taking care

605
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 4: of body.

606
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 3: Now, then you could take that three and bet on yourself.

607
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: But what are the chances of actually doing everything Lebron

608
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: does when it comes to taking your body and preparing

609
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 4: yourself in the off season.

610
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: But you know, it's I was, I was.

611
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: We always say that you need to get with Lebron,

612
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: but you know it's we gotta also think that you know,

613
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: Lebron got great genetics. You know that, you know, we

614
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: can just say, oh, you're giving Lebron and do That's

615
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: like we can all of us and going to the

616
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: gym shot a thousand jumpers.

617
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 3: You know, Kurt, come like Steph, Kurt. It's still gonna

618
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 3: better than that.

619
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, just sometimes you know, the man above,

620
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: God gives you talents, God gives you the genetics, and

621
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: so you can tell Luca to.

622
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: Do all that. But if the body don't act right,

623
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: the body don't act right.

624
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: Lebron says, it ain't my job to worry about Luca's

625
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: future with the Lakers. Lebron told ESPN, No, that ain't

626
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: my job. I don't think, I don't think.

627
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: I know.

628
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 2: I know Luca knows how he feels about I feel

629
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 2: about him, and ultimately the trade happen for the future.

630
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 3: That's not for me.

631
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: Luca has to decide what he has to do with

632
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: his future. He's twenty six years old. I'm forty, so

633
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 2: he can't be basing on his career off me. That's

634
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 2: just real. But I hope obviously he stays long term.

635
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: Laker fans ef and love him. Here La has accepted him.

636
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: We love him as a teammate, as a brother, But

637
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: ultimately he's got to make a decision for him. It

638
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: I ain't going I ain't going around. I ain't gonna

639
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: be around much longer. Probably gonna be alright now another

640
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: two three year watch.

641
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

642
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: Wow, And you're thinking about this Lebron at you know,

643
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: at sixty even thirty percent is probably better than have

644
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: to leave.

645
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: That's how good he is. Yeah.

646
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think Luca, the things he's

647
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: doing around the city so far, you know, and think

648
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: about what just happened with the defacings of the Kobe

649
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: merul and he donating the money, you know. I think

650
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: he's trying to do exactly what he did in Dallas,

651
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: and that he wants to be a part of community

652
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: and as much that he can say, Hey, I know,

653
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: you guys are paying me a ship ton of money.

654
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be here for you guys and try

655
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: to get back the best way I can. So I

656
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: feel like Luca, unless you know, the Jokers say hey,

657
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: let's play together, he'll be.

658
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: He'll be in a Laker uniform. I like it. I

659
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: think the Joke is the only person that probably could

660
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: get him and say come on, let's go play together. Perth.

661
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: The athletic people close to Lebron aren't ruling out the

662
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: possibility of him finish his career elsewhere.

663
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 3: Ron back to the land.

664
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: If the if the Cavaliers don't make these the conference finals,

665
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: school we see Lebron coming home one last time, one time,

666
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: one more time to finish his career. No, I will

667
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: see it. He loved me about l A. M think

668
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: about l A and his daughter was a dance class here.

669
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 3: She got everything going on that way.

670
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: He you know, he's really I think he's realizing the

671
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: importance of you know, his kids and the the direction

672
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: they're going and how much they en Jordan, and he ain't.

673
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 3: He ain't going back to Cleveland. Now.

674
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: He might go there and sign and say he retired

675
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: one yeah, well yeah that one day, yeah, that one

676
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: day contracts, yeah yeah. But I don't I don't believe

677
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: he goes I don't believe he goes back. Go back

678
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: and do what you're playing with Luca.

679
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: You play, go back and and sit on there. You

680
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 3: got to come off the bench.

681
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, because that that's starting arguing, like, yo, man,

682
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: we just want to chip you ain't smooving us up

683
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: the way.

684
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree with you. I don't.

685
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't see him going back. I mean, they keep

686
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: saying that, but I think Lebron really loved the Lakers.

687
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: I really think he loves living in l A. I

688
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: think he loves all things in l A. The weather

689
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: is nice year round. He don't really have to have

690
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: an overcoat, you know, you can have a top down

691
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: damn there.

692
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: Year round.

693
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: You got water, you got beaches, I mean everything his

694
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: businesses are in LA. There's really nothing for him not

695
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: to like about l A. And he said, we're making

696
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: a lot of movies, right, He's doing a lot of

697
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: that stuff. Yeah, reduction company. Yeah, yeah, oh that's going on.

698
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: So he's in the perfect place.

699
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: You know.

700
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, I mean, Shack is really the

701
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: only one I can remember that came here and left.

702
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: Kareem didn't leave, Will didn't leave, Kobe didn't leave, Magic

703
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: didn't leave. Normally, normally when you didn't want to leave,

704
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: he was just forced out. Shaq didn't want to leave,

705
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: He was just forced that. Shack wanted your money.

706
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

707
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: Hey, when I was a Laker, I didn't want to

708
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: leave either, but I was forced out. You don't want

709
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: to leave the Lakers man.

710
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I agree, I think. And plus, you know,

711
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: the kids are here.

712
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a short track for him to go

713
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: over and shoot over to Arizona to see Bryce Uh

714
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: to go way back to Cleveland. Zuri his youngest daughter,

715
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: his only daughter, the youngest is in school here to

716
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: uproot her and leave her friends. I think Savannah has

717
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: like carved out her own niche here in l A. Yeah,

718
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: I just don't see it. I'm not sound good. I mean, hey,

719
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: you know those close to Lebron, oh Joe, I just

720
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: don't see it though.

721
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he ain't going nowhere. What you think, right,

722
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 3: He'll be ready for a minute.

723
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: I say he ain't going to I mean, honestly, I

724
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: know he kept his place in Ohio and he can

725
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: always get back.

726
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: But I think I think California is gonna be his

727
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: home base.

728
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: I think where he's gonna reside when it's all said

729
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: and done, Lebron James will be California. He's not a native, obviously,

730
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: he grew up in Akron, Ohio. He played a lot

731
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: of years in Cleveland.

732
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: But think about it, He's he's gonna almost double up

733
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 3: the amount of time that he played in Miami here

734
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: in l A. Yeah, most definitely. I think it also

735
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: is I think it's too many moving parts.

736
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: It's too many moving parts in l a for him

737
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: to be for him to go back to Akron, obviously

738
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 4: having a place there, being that that's where you grew up,

739
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 4: he will still always have ties there. But as far

740
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: as from a business standpoint and everything thats going on,

741
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: I'd assume it would make more sense obviously to stay

742
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: here in la Yeah.

743
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: Bigger market, yeah, I mean, but you know, he's the

744
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: type of guy that he doesn't really he is the market.

745
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Hey, it's a lot more connections out here than.

746
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: Is absolutely because there's nothing that there's nothing that in

747
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: Ether you can't do in l A. I mean, hey,

748
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: pick up a phone. I don't think he wants to

749
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: go back to that cold. I don't think Savannah wants

750
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: to go back to the cold. I mean once you

751
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: once you get used to that warm weather, it's hard

752
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: for you to go back. And if you lived in Florida,

753
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: if you live in l A, if you live in

754
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: some warm weather and say, you know, yeah, I think

755
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: I want to go live in New York. I want

756
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: to live in Philly. I want to live in Massachusetts.

757
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: Once the once the more bones get used to that

758
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 2: warm weather, once you step out there in that cold

759
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: just hits you. In the face one time, it's like, nah,

760
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: I'm good, Yeah.

761
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: I'm good.

762
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't I don't see him going I

763
00:33:50,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: don't see him going back there either, as yeah, on

764
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: it being traded by the Clippers.

765
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: Well on his mind.

766
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: If La advances and played a thunder, they did motivate

767
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 2: me a long time ago. I haven't thought about them

768
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: in years, though I can't hold I guess you can

769
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 2: say grudges forever in life. What's you think Rock when

770
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: you got traded? Did you Did you hold a grudge

771
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 2: against anybody when you got traded?

772
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: I know because I knew it was his business and

773
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: I was mad with the Rocks been trading the terrible

774
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: ass Phoenix. But other than that, hey, I was excited

775
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: as hell with Phijus trading into the Lakers.

776
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 3: So it was no, that was that was great for me.

777
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 3: But I don't, I don't.

778
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: I think when you you look at I think he

779
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: got getting traded, okayc was a better situation for him, Yes,

780
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: because it wasn't He wasn't gonna be the head of

781
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: the snake, so he was never gonna be able to flourish. Yeah,

782
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: so he put him in the perfect position. He got

783
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: those picks and he got guys that that came in.

784
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: It was like a similar attitude, some similar hit the

785
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: way he is and he's made the flourish because sometimes

786
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: you guys can be great players, but they getting held

787
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: back by having to play behind this player that player.

788
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: So that was perfect him and he was able to

789
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: show everybody. Oh and everybody sitting back like damn clips

790
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: fucked up. But you gotta think about it for Paul George.

791
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: Paul George at the time was okay, okay, okay, okay,

792
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: what'd you gonna sayil with y'all, I was.

793
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 4: Gonna say, I say even I mean, even if he

794
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 4: was there were Kawhi, you're saying that j wouldn't be

795
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 4: wouldn't be able.

796
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 3: To be who he was just because he's played with Kai.

797
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 3: He got to be the guy. You see what happened.

798
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 3: You see what they did.

799
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: They got him and then they built around him. They

800
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: were looking to build around Kawhi.

801
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: He needs the ball, yeah, because you if you watch

802
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 3: s c A he he he.

803
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: He has a lot of guys on this team that

804
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: love him and they know what they exact one do

805
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: and they sit back and let him work.

806
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: You know, you're thinking about Kawhi. Kawhi is a guy.

807
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: You know, even though you got James Harden over there,

808
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: you don't never know what you're gonna get out of James.

809
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes James want to shoot some games he doesn't. But

810
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's Kawhi. And I

811
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: think also that's why Paul George never really looked that

812
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: good as a Clipper, though he did it was a

813
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: pacer because he was, you know, deferring to Kawhi and

814
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: and you know he forgets sometimes. Kawhi is one of

815
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: the best players in this game when he's healthy. Yeah,

816
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: and so it's hard not to defer to Kawhi.

817
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 3: It is, and you know, Kawhi got there.

818
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: And here's the thing Kawhi said, if you don't trade

819
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: for Paul George, I'm going to the Lakers.

820
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: The last thing the Clippers could have.

821
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: You can't have Anthony Davis, Lebron, James, and Kawhi living

822
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 2: on one team in that building while you're in the basement.

823
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: So they had no choice. So you do that and

824
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 3: then you watch it and you're like, well they are

825
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: what could have been. But I don't know.

826
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if Sja would have developed into the

827
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: player that he's become now he had he been there,

828
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: so he got an opportunity to clip.

829
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 3: The thing was is that you remember Rob Chris Paul

830
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: was there.

831
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he got the opportunity to learn how to

832
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: play the position from the point guard and he took

833
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: off and he had to look back and now he's

834
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: you know, you can make a case he's top one,

835
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: top one best point guard in the league. He and local,

836
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: he and Luca battle out him, Luke and Steph. But

837
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: that's hard to say. You're gonna say there's another point

838
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: guard that's better than those three. Whoever's won, it's out

839
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: of that. It's side of those three.

840
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, unless you want, unless you consider Steph a point.

841
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: Guard, Luca and Shay. Yeah, I mean I look at

842
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: Steph more than to me personally. I look at step

843
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: and James that you know that can that can pass.

844
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: But that.

845
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 2: I guess because you grew up weird and we grew

846
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 2: up in there with the point guard was Magic Johnson.

847
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: The point gard was Isaaah Tarboros. So you know guys

848
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: like that that were true point guard. They weren't trying

849
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: to go get thirty forty or fifty point today. They

850
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: tried to like you up for forty to fifty.

851
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: It's like, no, you you play. I will give you

852
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: the ball when I can't shoot, and you just be

853
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: ready for me to kick it to you.

854
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 3: That's one thing. I only had a chance to play

855
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: with Jason Kidd for two games. I was in Phoenix,

856
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 3: damn coffee. I know, hey, he had just got traded us.

857
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: And and the weird part is, I look at my career,

858
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: high school, college, I never played with a true point guard.

859
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: For that one moment. You should have seen me. Man,

860
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: I was hitting the lanes, getting lefts, looking up. The

861
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: ball was right where I wanted to catch it. Man,

862
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: I was like, and it goes to show you if

863
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: you've got a point guard, he's gonna make me like

864
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: so much better than Jay Kidd. Man I was the

865
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: two games, man, I probably could have been all So.

866
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 3: You should have behaved. Your damn kept that towel to

867
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 3: ride your dad. Hey, I'll be only having two rings

868
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: instead of stepping. Then you knew a damn well how

869
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 3: to get up out of feeding, did you?

870
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 4: Oh?

871
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what real part was? You know? Danny

872
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: Ainge became the coach you know Danny Inge.

873
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: I didn't like him from the moment I got there, because, no,

874
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, we had just finished a tough series against Phoenix.

875
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: You remember the inbound played when he rares back and

876
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,959
Speaker 1: hits Mario in the face of the ball point blank.

877
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know Mario, my boy. Me and Mario close.

878
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: And then when we walking down we get the fiends.

879
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: He walking in the hall and Danny Ainge says to

880
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: Sam Cansel and I was like, you know, I hit

881
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: Mario on the face with the ball on purpose, right,

882
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: He act like it was a mistake.

883
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, fuck you. From that moment on, I

884
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 3: never liked it.

885
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: And he was as an assistant coach then and then

886
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: when Cotton stepped down, he became the head coach, and

887
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: then from that moment on, he was like. He was like,

888
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: he didn't start me. When we went back to Houston,

889
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: he didn't play me. And then we trade away Michael

890
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: Philly and A. C. Green and said, well, you're gonna

891
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: get more minutes. My minutes went down, and so I

892
00:39:58,719 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: was hot.

893
00:39:59,239 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 2: Man.

894
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: I was like, because I was in him Boston, I

895
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: just made it three. He got a dunk, got a steal,

896
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: and I look over. He subbed me. In the first

897
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: three minutes of the game. I'm saying, fuck you. I

898
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: was hot man, So I was hot.

899
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 3: So Hey.

900
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: They were gonna release me, and I was gonna go

901
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: back to Houston. I'm like, Okay, you're gonna release me.

902
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm going back to playing Houston. But they cut They

903
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: send me to the Lakers and let me that's your question.

904
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: Have you seen Dan Age? Have you had a conversation

905
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: with Danny Age since that moment?

906
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: No.

907
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: Last conversation I had with Danny Age was after he

908
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: said we were trading you to l A for Sergis

909
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: Bars and I probably just won you another championship. That's

910
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: what he said to me. That's the last conversation I

911
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: had with him. He did plan to talk to him,

912
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to him.

913
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: Oh Joe.

914
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: The Nice Blockbuster boxing car was supposed to be the

915
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 2: end with an official announcement Ryan Garcia versus Devin Haiti

916
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: the rematch October, but Rolando Rolled Romero ripped up that script.

917
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 2: Garcia lost in a stunner to Romero early after an

918
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 2: early knockdown. Romero claimed to w BA well theweight title

919
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 2: with the unanimous decision upset over Garcia at the iconic

920
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: Times Square in New York.

921
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 3: Oh Joe, what happened? Yeah? Man?

922
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 4: Listen, Ryan Garcia was supposed to win the fight. He'd

923
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 4: done a lot of talking. Obviously, we saw what he

924
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 4: did the Devin Hainty last time they fought. He dominated

925
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 4: hanging out in that fight, obviously testing for an illegal substance,

926
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 4: whatever it may have been. I think if he wasn't

927
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 4: on the substance, I think he still made have won

928
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 4: that fight based on the way he looked.

929
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 3: But tonight they listened Ryan Garcia.

930
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 4: If you're a betting man, Ryan Garcia was your favorite

931
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 4: to win the fight tonight against Roly for listen, Brian

932
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: Garcia landed more punches, but Romero getting the knockdown and

933
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 4: obviously winning the fight and getting the decision. To me,

934
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 4: it was shocking. It was shocking to me because Rowley

935
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 4: had some of the an awkward style of fighting, and

936
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 4: to me, I think Ryan Garcia is the better pure boxer,

937
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 4: and I thought he would he would probably win a night,

938
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 4: especially with that dangerous left hook that he has. But

939
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 4: it didn't go that way.

940
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 3: It didn't. It didn't go that way. Browley had a

941
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 3: good fight now.

942
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 4: I think really now has a chance to actually fight

943
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 4: Devin Haney, and I think the rematch against Ryan Garcia

944
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 4: is probably out the window because of this, because of

945
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 4: just lost from Garcia. So I mean, I'm excited. I'm excited.

946
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 4: And Devin Haney looked a little different tonight. He looked

947
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: very cautious after what happened to him when he fought

948
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 4: Ryan Garcia. He was very cautious. He won the fight.

949
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 4: He was on his bicycle a lot, Uh, really counter

950
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 4: punching and throwing punches his spurs and not not being

951
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 4: the the fighter he should be at this point in

952
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 4: his career.

953
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: He wanted he won the fight.

954
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 4: He didn't do it and in the fashion we like

955
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 4: to see, especially if you're a boxer fan like myself.

956
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 3: So I really look forward to to to uh, Rody

957
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: Romero and and Devin Haney getting in the ring. Uh,

958
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 3: all right, it's time five last segment. But even it's

959
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 3: type of Q and eight ball.

960
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: A shot call in nineteen ninety nine says, question is

961
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: the real question is can Rob the lincol build a

962
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: team around Luca because he was good, He was in

963
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 2: a good situation in Dallas when he left and Rob

964
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 2: has shown he can't build a team.

965
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 3: Man.

966
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 2: I said it this once and I'll say it again.

967
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 2: If Luca stayed in Dallas, we would have been back

968
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: in the finals. We had a great squad this year.

969
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 2: You think that you think that's.

970
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 3: True that.

971
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: I person don't think it's true because I think you

972
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: you call the lighting in the bottle last year, Yes,

973
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: and sometimes you think you go, you can do a repeat.

974
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: You know, you think about the way everybody on that

975
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: team is playing, Kyrie PJ. You know the bench was

976
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: coming off playing exceptional. I don't think they had the

977
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: same amount of juice. I think, you know, you you

978
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: think about Minnesota doesn't switch. They go to the finals.

979
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: You know, that's that one possession right there, And for me,

980
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: I just don't think they had enough. It's any plus.

981
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: You look at the West. The West was too damn good.

982
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna find someone that's gonna beat you. What'd you

983
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: think of Joe.

984
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 3: Listen.

985
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 4: Rob talked about it earlier, them getting to the finals

986
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 4: because of those bigs down there. Any mistakes Luca had,

987
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 4: they were always there to counter that and to make

988
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 4: up for it. I think it's a Lakers in some

989
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 4: kind of way we talked about it this season, them

990
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 4: not having a big hell get too bigs for that matter,

991
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 4: that that that can help out in something some show

992
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 4: way for him of fashion.

993
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 3: And I think the Lakers will be there. They'll be

994
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: all right this upcoming season.

995
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 2: Corney Reseller said. Ki says he wants to play with

996
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 2: Luca and Lebron. Can't Rob and jj make that happen?

997
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: No, Hey, I don't know if you watched Joker on

998
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: the bench and you know Mike Malone got fired, it's

999
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on.

1000
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: I know they can't do it right, but yook, I

1001
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: want to know, so which one? So, so it is a.

1002
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: Lebron would have to waive it's no trade. And then

1003
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 2: I don't think Rob is gonna trade Luca to Denver

1004
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 2: because Denver.

1005
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 3: Damn.

1006
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: You're not letting Jokis go because yok line and sign

1007
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: a three years, two hundred and twenty one two million

1008
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: dollar deal.

1009
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you doing nowhere? Huh?

1010
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 4: If Joker say, if Joker say, I don't want to

1011
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 4: be a no more, he don't want to be as

1012
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 4: your question, if Joka say, send me to l A,

1013
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 4: I want to go to l A three years running,

1014
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 4: who run the.

1015
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 3: League, who run the league, the players, the players.

1016
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 2: Okay, watch what he said that the extension this year

1017
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 2: three years are two hundred and twenty one million Dollars'll

1018
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: tell you that you're not going to.

1019
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 3: L a Okay.

1020
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: You also have to think about if you denver what

1021
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna what what do you want off the Lakers teams?

1022
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lebron's gonna be You got Yogis for at least

1023
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 3: another five years. You're gonna have Lebron like that.

1024
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's a difference if you know, the Lakers

1025
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: are okay, seeing they got about fifty first round picks,

1026
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: they got like one if that right, So they gonna

1027
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: come up with something. And I think what it's kind

1028
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: of screw what the deal is now is you can

1029
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: only like I don't know the technical terms to it,

1030
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: but when you got to match the money's up now,

1031
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 1: it's not just like five players for one so it'll

1032
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: be kind of hard to trade him.

1033
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 3: JM actor O Joe.

1034
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,360
