WEBVTT - Warriors Fans & Media, Philly Abandons the Process & Anthony Davis 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:07.159 Come on on this episode of the Heat Check Steph, 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.799 the Steph Ice Cold game, all that prep I put 0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:13.960 into him being just absolutely nuclear last episode that I 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:18.400 didn't get to. That segment went kaboom, and somehow the 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.560 Warriors still win without Steph making a single three. We 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:26.160 are shipping off to Boston heading into Game six. I 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.960 will break that game down briefly with some news around 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.400 the league as well, including the Sixers dropping some very 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:39.040 shocking news and Anthony Davis getting shamed into shooting a basketball. Finally, 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.040 all right, bro, drop that beat national. 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:50.040 All right, the Warriors take control of the fine or 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.120 by the player that everyone expected to go absolutely ham 0:00:54.520 --> 0:01:00.160 our man, Andrew wig What putting on a performance for 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:00.840 the Ages. 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:07.800 Game five, the Andrew Wiggins game twenty six points, thirteen rebounds, 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.040 back to back off of another stellar performance where seventeen points, 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.160 sixteen rebounds. I didn't even know Andrew Wiggins was a rebounder, right, Like, 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.920 that's not his game, my lord. Add this to the 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.040 fact that he's been a defensive stopper all playoff long, 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:27.120 taking on the challenge to guard Luca Jylen Brown, Jason Tatum, 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.400 a little inside baseball in the fact that Andrew Wiggins 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.440 trains with the same trainer that Jason Tatum trains with, 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.760 Drew Hanlin Pure Sweat, so he knows exactly all the 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.240 moves that Jason Tatum's been working on in his bag, 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.479 and he's like, oh, nope, now I know where you're going. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.880 People might actually stop bitching about Andrew Wiggins making the 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:49.440 All Star Game now or k Pop getting him into 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.880 the All Star Game is what gave him the confidence 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.640 to get to this point. Who knows it's chicken of 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.840 the egg at this this moment, I can't tell. And 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.640 on my Bengo card, I did not have Wiggins showing 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.360 up with the lights are brightest. I just never thought 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.760 that that would ever. I would have bet my house 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.960 on it. Probably something just last year, we were all 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.359 joking about playoff Wiggins, crunch time, clutch time Wiggins. It's 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.160 like he turns into a pumpkin, and now he turns 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:20.880 into Lebron James. They're calling him Maple Jordan again. Maple 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.720 Jordan jokes on us because this dude's been the best 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.360 player or second best player on the floor for long 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.760 stretches of the time. Kurr decided he was gonna speak 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.320 on Wiggins showing more emotion. He also says something very 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.200 quickly that I have not in my notes, but off 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.680 the top of my head. He basically said that Wiggans 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:43.200 shows that every player in the NBA can reach impact 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.720 player potential if they're put in the right situation. That 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.160 just leads me to wonder what players are just hiding 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.720 on the bench that are not being fully utilized. I 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.840 think that's actually true of all human beings. I think 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.960 we all can be more if we're in the right situation. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.000 Cur spoke on Wiggans showing more emotion. He says, he's 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.880 a very mild mannered guy Canadian, but he's taking a 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.880 leap in these playoffs in terms of his impact on 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.160 the game. Defensively. The biggest thing right now is that 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.000 he's a two way player. Lots of jokes happening right 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.640 now about Wiggins maybe stealing the finals MVP from Steph, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.480 which would be an atrocity. Steph, who did not make 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.400 a three for the first time in one hundred and 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.600 thirty two consecutive playoff games and two hundred and thirty 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.080 three straight games as a whole, It's been two hundred 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.160 and thirty three games go to mass school that's like 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.400 four years, four or five years or something like that. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:42.080 Where Steph has made a three oh for nine, Will 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.840 it cost him the finals? MVP next up on Undisputed. No, 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.400 don't bet it on it. Don't bet on it. And 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.760 Wiggins was the reason though, one hundred percent that the 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.120 Warriors got this win, not something I anticipated. He was 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.760 also oh for six from three, So Wiggins and Steph 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:04.880 oh for fifteen from three and they still win by ten. I, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.360 by the way, had Warriors to win by at least 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.880 nine and a half. And boy was that a backdoor sweat. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.680 Those scrubs that came in at the end of the game, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.000 they were trying those Boston the Aaron Nis Smiths of 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.479 the world were trying to my bed up folks. Wiggins 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.479 fifty more or more from the field forty three minutes 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:29.200 in both games. And what's fascinating right now to me 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:37.040 about this performance of Andrew Wiggins is that now Jimmy 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.080 Butler always liked Andrew Wiggins. Just now we're getting all 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.279 the glowing endorsements from everyone that's ever been on a 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.400 team with Andrew Wiggins coming out from the woodworks in 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:52.760 ways that are just odd timing. Now Tim Tom Thibodeau 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:58.040 has glowing remarks for Andrew Wiggins. Two dudes who've been 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.600 riding Andrew Wiggins asked telling them all your girl, if 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.680 you don't like run on these run these suicides. Like 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.320 they've been saying, he's been lazy since he was drafted 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.240 by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now it's just coming out 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:17.320 that he's always had this amazing work ethic. Like Andrew 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.640 Wiggins from beginning of time till now has always been 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.479 incredible competitor. He's always been a hard worker. We just 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.200 didn't see it. And now Jimmy Butler and Tom Thibodeau 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:32.200 resounding praise. Draymond Green been like first thing soon as 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.000 that trade went down, Tom Thibodeau called me up, and 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.239 he and why called me up. He's like, you're getting 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.200 a great dude. You're getting an amazing player in Andrew Wiggins. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.560 Where was this when the trade happened? Come on? Now 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.880 these stories. As for the Celtics, they needed a legit 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.920 ball handler. I don't know how they're going to get one. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.880 We've said, like, I don't understand what moves you make 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.640 because you're already in the finals, and you can't really 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.479 mess up with a good thing. But listen, Marcus can't 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.919 handle the rock. Jalen Brown can't handle the rock. Jason 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.880 Tatum sometimes can't handle the rock. The best ball handler 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.159 on this team's probably Peyton Pritchard, and he's getting like 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.560 twelve minutes a game. Peyton Pritchell. Pritchell has handles. Nobody 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.479 else has handles. I don't trust a single one of 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.000 them driving into the lane and not turning the ball over. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.440 Congrats also to Boston for winning the third quarter for 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.919 the first time all series. Didn't matter. Congrats to the 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.920 Boston Celtics on stopping Steph for a full game. Did 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.080 not matter. But it kind of just feels like that 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.800 seven game series that they've had in every series along 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.159 the way except for the Nets. One right, you sweep 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.560 the nets, then you go seven with the Bucks, seven 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.080 with the heat, and now you're probably tuckered out, need 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.880 a warm milk and your mom to read you a 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.600 bedtime story because you look like it's night night time. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.960 It does. I'm hoping, I'm hoping that they can make 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.840 some moves. Someone dremmd Green's bed in Boston. Can we 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.880 get that? Can we get somebody to pee in Ayisha 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:12.960 Curry's somewhere because something hotel room, I don't know, Airbnb. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.160 I need a Father's Day matchup? I do. I need 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.640 a Father's Day Game seven. I need it. I don't 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.680 just need it, I want it. I'm praying for it. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.520 Jalen Brown says, we're not scared. We do not fear 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.720 the Golden State Warriors. I'm glad about that. That's the 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.520 spunky attitude they're gonna need. At a boy, Jalen Brown, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.800 Don't stand down, don't let them push you around, sir, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.400 keep your head up. That's what we need. That's what 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:47.280 we all deserve. A Game seven, that's what we need. 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.239 After game. After the Andrew Wiggins game, went on SVP, 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.640 which tells you pretty much where he's at as a 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.200 media member. He's on SVP and he's at n SVP's 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:14.040 asking him what Brian thinks about that game. So heads 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.720 up to all the Warriors media. Brian Winhorse is kind 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.760 of a big deal of NBA insider, two times New 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:27.440 York Times bestselling author, number one NBA podcast host, so 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:33.280 he chimes in and what he said went goes viral 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.960 viral viral. So I want to play it for you 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.240 because it's It became the talk of the town in 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.800 Warriors media, and they freaked. 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:48.080 Out because Andrew Wiggins, he's not an underdog. He makes 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.319 thirty two million dollars. While the Warriors were down these 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.319 last couple of years, winning no games, they kept spending 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.960 money because they've got it. They resigned Raymond Green, they 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:02.119 re signed Steph Curry, they resigned Looney, they kept Andrew Wiggins, 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.960 and boy died to show up tonight. Andrew Wiggins with 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.760 a supreme moment in his career. He was a throw 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.600 in in the trade. Other teams would have totally gotten 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.280 rid of him. They stuck with him. They have a 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.040 three hundred and forty million dollars payroll when you consider taxes. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.199 You don't just have to beat the Warriors on the court. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.560 You got to beat their checkbook. And nothing away from 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.600 Andrew Wiggins tonight. But this was a checkbook win for 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:21.560 the Warriors. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:30.240 Check book win for the Warriors. I mean, he's not wrong, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.000 he's not. I mean he said except for the check 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.920 book win part, which is definitely a little shady. It's 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.560 a little shady, But everything else he said was completely factual, right, 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:46.480 so then KMBR decided to chime in. They're they're one 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.200 of two local radio stations out of the Bay area. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.160 Let's see what they had to say. They took exception, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.640 didn't they They did. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.560 Why in the world would people pay attention to Brian Windhorst, 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.040 That's the first question, Like, why would anything he says 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.720 rile people up? It's like, really, Brian Windhorse. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.199 I got you, Yeah, he got a mer skill. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.199 I mean, come on, really, I mean that's like I 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.520 did that. I saw it and I said, well, that's 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.120 just it's wrong and it's ludicrous, is what it is. 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:28.120 Boss. This man, this man, Brian windhors has eight I 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:33.800 just checked eight hundred and twelve thousand Twitter followers. Let's 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:38.720 look at kmbr's Twitter account. Uh, the actual station where 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:44.200 this man is speaking. Tom Tolbert, former NBA Uh, Let's 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.440 be honest. Journeyman hasn't averaged more than ten points a 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.880 game in his entire life as an NBA player, But 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.040 that's has nothing to do with it. One hundred and 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:58.800 twenty one thousand followers on KMBR, Sir, don't act like 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.440 what Brian Horse says doesn't send ripples around the league. 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:09.880 Stop that stop that please, So then then we've got 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:15.000 the ninety five to seven game people in the crew. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.120 We also had Steve Berman, Bay Area reporter for the 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.679 Athletic Key Guys. He says his postgame podcasts make me 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.960 feel bad for Zach Low for being forced to do them. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.800 The constant Lebron mentions saying Steph wasn't actually hurt in 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.679 Game four, spouting owners talking points about a CBA they 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:38.800 agreed to, isn't surprising. This isn't a hot take. To 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.720 say that their deep pockets bought two championships with KD 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:46.160 isn't even mildly controversial. They are two hundred million dollars 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:52.960 into the luxury tax two hundred million dollars, folks. So 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.000 ninety five to seven, the game which the Morning Roast 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.920 has a little beef with me. He spouted on twit 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:06.840 about me being some hot take artist that craps whatever 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.880 on Warriors. It's not even true. It's him though, that 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.160 I have a problem with. So they have Brian windhors 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.240 on and I went just accidentally on the ninety five 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.480 to seven The game app at around ten in the morning, 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:19.839 and this is what they had. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.440 I hear you on like the checkbook stuff. But aren't 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.880 they the model of how to run your business. Not 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.160 only did they pay all of these you know, different 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.640 contracts from within, they also built a stadium with their 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.560 own dollar and reinvested it back into the team. To me, 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.840 they should be lauded as what every owner should be 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.160 doing right now in sports, not just in the NBA. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.640 This is how you should run your business trying to 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.920 compete at the highest level. I don't know why that's 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:46.439 a negative. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.239 I Well, first off, I don't know why you're implying 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.280 what I said was a negative. Why are you implying 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.200 what I said was a negative? I was giving the 0:12:55.240 --> 0:13:00.200 Warriors a compliment, okay, for being able to stick. It's 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.880 spending through their through their rebuild, and that's why they 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.800 have the depth on this team. But but, and I mean, 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.680 nobody would argue that that Bob Myers in his front 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.880 office have not done a tremendous job and that and 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.600 that Joe Lacup and Joe and Uh and Peter Guber 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.840 have done a great job in financing the team. But 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.400 it is not a level playing field. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.440 Well, is it that the faults? 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:25.679 Wait? 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:26.600 What's that? 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.600 Is it that the fault of the other owners because 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.240 the Warriors are using their resources well within the rule 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.079 book to spend the money if they have, and he 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.600 spent it on a lot of homegrown talent. Complain last right, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.440 Dallas Mark Cuban makes allest, but he doesn't spend at all. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:39.559 That's his fault. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.280 I don't understand. I'm still I'm still not sure why 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:44.480 you guys got your back up. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.360 Because it feels like a backhanded compliment. I mean a 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.680 backhanded statement because of last year they paid for Kelly 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.800 Oubre and nobody was complaining when they're paying thirty five 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.360 million dollars for Clay to not play a dribble of basketball, 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.160 and then all of a sudden, now that they're winning. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.520 Just my interpretation, it felt like you were picking up 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.079 water for some of the poor owners who refuse to 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.200 get dip into the luxury tax. That's the way I 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.520 interpreted it. 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:13.360 It wasn't a criticism. It was I was praising them. Okay, 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.480 I'm saying, when you go against the Warriors, you're not 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.600 just going to You're going against a team that has 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.160 incredible financial might. That's just a true statement. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:29.800 They're so den skin defensive. Stop it, please, please stop it. Yes, Brian, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.240 if you're sensing hostility coming your direction, you are. If 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.800 you is sensing with your little spidy senses that their 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.680 hackles are up and they're waiting to strike like a 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.440 little viper on you, and that they're not going to 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.040 talk you behind your back. As soon as you're off 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:51.760 the phone, you are correct. You are correct. This is why, 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.080 this right here, I look for examples in real time 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.840 for folks to know why it's hard, why it's hard 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.440 for me to love and adore one of the best 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.240 teams assembled, one of the best franchises run all that, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.080 one of the most likable teams. This is why. Because 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:16.200 Bay Area reporters, bay Area media people are like this. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.440 They have the thinnest skins I've ever seen. Accusing Windhorse 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.200 of being an irrelevant hot take artist just makes y'all 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:30.120 look like low budget fanboys with microphones and credentials. Listen, 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.760 don't pretend then to have a station that really quote 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:39.920 unquote covers the team. Don't. They're thin skinned with their 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.760 hackles up because one national media member said something that 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.479 was one hundred percent true and not even the tag controversial. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:52.040 Because it makes them defensive about why they won and 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.320 why they continue to win. If you were to add 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.080 Kevin Durant to the Boston Celtics right now, would Warriors 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:02.400 fans be whining? Yes, yes, they would be whining because 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.160 Kevin Durant to any team makes things unfair when you 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.440 already have a stacked roster that can get to the finals, 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.080 and that would still be less than the Warriors are paying. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.400 I bet you Dub's media would be wit wit. They 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:23.160 can't spend that much. Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kaminga are 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.000 a downstream effect. Let me just say this very very clearly. 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:33.400 You have, without out spending and finding a way in 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.960 twenty sixteen to sign Kevin Durant with that little tiny 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.400 gap of period of time where Steph hadn't been signed yet, 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.000 Clay hadn't been resigned yet, and you signed KD. Without 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.960 that moment in time, you don't have Andrew Wiggins, you 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.560 don't have Jonathan Kaminga. You over paying for KD is 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.920 how you got to this place. So it is a 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:57.520 checkbook win. Let's be honest people. That's what they try 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.880 to say. Oh, we've organically built the only players that 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:04.960 we quote unquote paid for our bi Alicia and Chris 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:10.840 Chiosa and uh somebody else that's not relevant to this scenario. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:13.119 J J. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.440 Scrubs of the world. The argument is that they've developed 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.560 all of their talent internally and organically organically, but the 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.880 Wiggins trade didn't happen without KD. That's savvy tactician work. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.600 How they get Wiggins? They signed KD in free agency 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.439 checkbook move. Then he decided to leave. They wouldn't let 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.320 him leave for nothing, so they went and got d 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.080 LO for no reason at the time, it felt like, 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.159 but no, they wanted to make sure they had a 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.639 chess piece on their board because once you once, you 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:41.760 don't if you lose if you use it. If you 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.800 don't use it, you lose it. Right, So then you 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.439 do a sign and trade to get DLO, and then 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:51.479 you flip d LO for a pick and Andrew Wiggins stop. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:56.480 How is that internal growth? How Wiggins makes? Wiggins makes 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.320 thirty two million dollars a year, y'all add that to 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.800 steph forty Clay thirty eight dre twenty four. That's one 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:07.080 hundred and forty million dollars for four players. That's more 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.560 than the entire fifteen man Celtics roster. One hundred and 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:16.160 thirty two million between four guys. The NBA salary cap 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.399 is one hundred and twenty two million dollars. What is 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.840 wrong with you? How do you not see this? You're 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.120 eighteen million dollars in the luxury tax with eleven more 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.000 players left to sign. How is that internal growth? How 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.280 is that organic? James Wiseman makes ten million dollars a 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.960 year and he hasn't done a thing and I don't 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.840 know how long he hasn't seen the court once the 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.399 season he got shut down at the end of last season. 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.600 Are you really trying to tell me that deep pockets 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.800 haven't impacted this series? Really? Really, you're trying to tell 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.400 me we just find and attract the best talent, which 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.840 is why we're the best stop That four hundred and 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.760 sixty five million dollars four hundred and sixty five million 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.920 dollars with the repeater tax, that is what Golden State 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:10.400 is paying nearly a half a billion dollars. The Celtics 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.520 with their luxury tax hit one hundred and thirty four million. 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.800 Do you see what is so clear as day. That's 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.360 not a knock, that's not a dig. They just outspend. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.439 That's what they did. Kevin Durant was to outspend. Everything 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.760 that comes from Kevin Durant is the same thing right 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.160 down again. And trust me, this is not a shot 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:37.719 at Warriors ownership at all. I understand. Brilliant move, Joe lacub, 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:41.439 Bob Myers, brilliant guys. How can I say that they 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.080 didn't do what they were supposed to do. Nobody thought 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.879 Wiggins was any good. You can outspend other people and 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.560 it be bad decisions. A lot plenty of teams outspend 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.000 and it's bad plenty. But they outspent and got a 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.400 place and a player that they knew could fit into 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.639 what they wanted to do in their system. I respect it. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.760 I think every team possible should do it. But don't 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.320 be so disingenuous to say that you're light years ahead 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.400 of everyone else. It's like that that rich ass kid 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.359 with parents that are rich, that has an awesome job 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.639 and they've gotten up to this place where they're the 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.480 CEO of a company. But it's like, yo, how did 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:19.760 you get here? You started on third Stop it, stop it. 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.439 There's no way Andrew Wiggins gets to this roster without 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.160 you having a lot of money. That's it. That's all 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.800 we can say. Not a chance that you can make 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.080 the trade work to get Andrew Wiggins without having Delos 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:39.080 salary and him being overly paid, overpaying somebody that you 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.800 can get to trade for another overpaid person. That's the 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.000 only way that you get that done. There are Warriors 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.119 media that I love. We had him on on Monday, 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.399 John Dickinson, love him. You know what he told me. 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.640 He said, between me, you and the lamp post. He's 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:56.679 disgusted by the two is. It's disgusting, it's gross. This 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.639 is absolutely baffling. You guys are are awful. And don't 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.880 let me get excited enough to start putting my hat, 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.440 my name in the hat to cover the Warriors. Don't 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.800 make me head out to the bay because I'm getting close. 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:15.520 I'm getting close. Don't make me take your job. Don't 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.720 make me take your job. I love Kendrick Andrews, I 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.840 love the light Years guys, but this low rent fanboy 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:41.719 that has got to go gotta go, folks, please another 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:47.320 fan base that loves me. Uh, Philadelphia, Let's dissect the 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:51.560 little news. It's tough out here on the streets right 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:56.359 now for a Philadelphia seventy six ers fan. Are you 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.880 guys sitting down? Are you You're going to be shocked 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:04.920 when you hear the latest from Sixer Land. Keith Pompey 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:09.479 of The Inquirer cannot speak to his legitimacy, as we know, 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.080 everyone is under scrutiny right now when the Warriors media exists, 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:17.600 but he drops some fascinating and frankly unbelievable news. I 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.359 had to literally read it multiple times in order to 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:25.679 really allowed to seep into my soul. Basically, everyone but 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.720 Joel Embiid and James Hardener on the trade block. Everyone 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:33.040 literally everyone. I don't understand. I don't understand. This is 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:36.920 the team that people told me was a monster. This 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:40.280 is the team that people told me had enough wing depth, 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:45.560 had enough shooting. Joel Embiid MVP level, Everything moves around him. 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:50.120 You signed Tobias Harris, you got Danny Green, You've got 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:55.240 Matis Stible as a defender on the perimeter. I was 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:57.920 told this was a championship ship roster. For the last 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:02.600 three years they were just getting bad luck. So imagine 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:09.960 my surprise to read the Sixers realize quote realize that 0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:15.120 their current roster is not suited to win an NBA championship. 0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:20.880 They're determined to upgrade it with established players that can 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:26.280 help propel them. I am stunned. I how could that 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:30.720 possibly How how could they possibly come to this conclusion. 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.600 Philly fans have attacked me for years now over this 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:39.439 exact thing that the ownership. I need to get paid. 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:43.119 I need to get paid to tell hard truths to 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:46.159 franchises such as the Sixers, because this would have been 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:50.040 a lot easier three years ago to do. This would 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.640 have been a lot easier when he didn't pay Tobias 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.840 Harris and he had Jimmy Butler. I tell you that 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:57.560 twenty nineteen would have been just the year to start 0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:02.480 thinking about tinkering with your wrong like I don't know. 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:07.879 I pointed out timidly, having a point guard who doesn't 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:12.520 shoot probably not the best idea. That was right. I 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.560 pointed out that putting one hundred and seventeen percent of 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:18.760 your offense on the back of a center who has 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:23.000 a litany of injury concerns and issues and history knees, 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:30.120 chronic knee issues, back issues, orbital things happening, ankles, backs, 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:34.639 all those things, maybe not the best idea. He falls 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:38.760 like every other possession. Maybe maybe you want to get 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:42.600 him some help the trading, I said, maybe trading two 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:47.680 first round picks for a guy who forced his way 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.919
