11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: In episode one sixty one, What's right with Nick Wright?

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: It is the day of the NBA Draft that is

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: coming in a few hours. We had a big trade

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: last night. We have a ton to do. The TV

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: shows back to ninety minutes at our regularly scheduled time, man,

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: And it's funny how quickly you can adjust. We did

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: five days of a thirty minute show. I got used

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: to that lifestyle, twenty two minutes of content. I mean

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: that Tony and Mike bt I have been just killing

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: the game for twenty years doing a thirty minute show.

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: I once upon a time did a three hour show.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: So then ninety minutes felt easy. But yesterday, man, it's like,

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: when's this thing gonna end? We got a ninety minute

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: show today. Deora is back, and I must say before

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: we get to the content, sorry, Scoot, don't don't get upset.

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: Well call me Scoot. When we're talking about Scoot.

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: I apologize. Oh good point. There is a Scoot Henderson,

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: maybe subconsciously that's why I'm so high on him. A draft.

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: We'll get down in a moment. But this is you're

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: gonna make fun of me. You're gonna say this is

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: cringe or something whatever.

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: I don't see.

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: But it is very touching to me that Diora is

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: here today because this is her first show as a

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: high school graduate, which also means it's exactly right, it's

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: her first show. She did not have to be here for.

37
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: She chose to be here, and that is just delightful.

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: We also have a new sponsor. I actually have, you know,

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: kind of picked out this outfit with the sponsor in mind.

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: Even though it is not a clothing sponsor, we do

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: have one clothing sponsored. It is, of course Trintage, Harlem's

42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: newest and greatest women's boutique. They are only clothing sponsor. However,

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: we'll get to the new sponsor in a bit. We

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: have a lot to do. I don't have a ton

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: of time today, very very busy day. So let's first

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: get to what missed. Here's what missed the cut. Dalvin

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Cook and DeAndre Hopkins want to play together. Bars in Washington,

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: DC are gonna be open for twenty four hours for

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: the Women's World Cup, which of course you can see

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: on Fox and FS one. And I paid off my

51
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: debt to demands. Did you give him a heads up

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: about that?

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: Diora, No, I didn't, so he wouldn't give me a cut?

54
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: Wow? What's this? Oh so we're putting our group chat.

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: I don't know on the on the screen. I sent

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: a Godfather meme to Demonse because Demanse was saying that

57
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 2: I didn't pay my debts. But there's that. Now, let's

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: get right to the show. Diora, take us into the draft.

59
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so the NBA Draft is tonight. Wimby is going

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: number one, So it's time to go on record. Is

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: this guy gonna be an all time great? Or a

62
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: two K? Create a player gone wrong?

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 2: All right? I know this isn't the take people want,

64
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go with neither. I this is my

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: I understand because he's seven to five. He has a

66
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: good looking jump shot, even though he only I mean,

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: he shot twenty nine percent from threes in his league

68
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: in Europe. You assume that will improve. He's going to

69
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: be an instantly impactful defensive player just because of his length.

70
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: I understand why he is such a sought after prospect.

71
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: I get it. I do not think though, he will

72
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: be more instantly impactful than say Luca was, who was

73
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: another guy who crushed in Europe. Luca actually had more

74
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: success in Europe and Luca to me, I know, he

75
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: went third in the draft, and actually the team that

76
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: was drafting fifth, Dallas, ended up getting which they traded

77
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: because Atlanta made an all time bad trade. But it

78
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: was hard. It's hard for me to comprehend the idea

79
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: that this guy is just flatly, clearly a better prospect

80
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: than Luca was. Now he obviously is in the eyes

81
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: of GMS, because again he's the consensus number one by

82
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: a mile. Luca went third behind DeAndre Ayton and Marvin Bagley.

83
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: But we knew Luca's body worked in the NBA and

84
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: if you watched anything, you knew his ceiling was one

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: of the five best offensive players ever. You knew those things,

86
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: and thus far he's not tracking towards being one of

87
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: the five best offensive players ever. But he is the

88
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: all time record holder in playoff points per game. He

89
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: has four first team All nbas in five years in

90
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: the league. He's been pretty special. Wimby is all projection

91
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: because we've never seen a player quite like him. Now,

92
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: when they say two K creative player gone wrong, I

93
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: have to assume what they're talking about there is injuries,

94
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: because literally every player in league history taller than seven

95
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: to two has dealt with some form of injuries altering

96
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: their careers. Yows they ended his career. Rick Smith's dealt

97
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: with it. He wasn't all the time great, but dealt

98
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: with injuries. Are Vitas Sabonis his feet went out on him,

99
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: Ralph Sampson, the suit Porzingis, who will get to later

100
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: in the show. The freakishly tall guys. It's some variance

101
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: as far as guys rolling into him and some parts

102
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: of the body just not being built to be running

103
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: up and down a court, jumping cutting at that size.

104
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: So that part does concern me. But here is the

105
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: bigger thing that concerns me. What concerns me for this

106
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: young man who is fifteen months older than Diorra is

107
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: that and he seems to be a great kid, and

108
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: he seems to really be level headed, but that we

109
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: have set the expectations at such an outrageous place that

110
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: he could be a Hall of Famer who wins a

111
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: league MVP and be considered a disappointment. We've only done

112
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: that to one other NBA player in my lifetime, Lebron James.

113
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: And Lebron met and then exceeded somehow the expectations, but

114
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: they were unfair. But at least with Lebron, you were like, well,

115
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: we know this body type works. We know like as

116
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: much as you can as far as injury concerns go.

117
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: If Wimby's on the furthest negative end of the spectrum,

118
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: Lebron was the antithesis of that. But I saw that

119
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: Making the rounds again today was a quote from Brusard

120
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: and JJ Reddick did some Oh, I'm gonna make fun

121
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: of myself, but I'm really making fun of other members

122
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: of the media with bad takes from the year, and

123
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: he included Brusard saying, if Wimby is a chem Olajuan,

124
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: it's a disappointment, which was a quote, but it was

125
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: totally stripped of its context when people have been when

126
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: that's been making the rounds of people and crushing Brew

127
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 2: for it. That was within the context of the day

128
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: after the draft lottery, Adrian Wojanowski went on television and said,

129
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: multiple league executives believe that by year three he will

130
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: be the best offensive player in the league and the

131
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: best defensive player in the league. He was called the

132
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: greatest prospect in the history not of the NBA, but

133
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: of American sports. And when you keep in mind, Serena

134
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: Williams was a prospect in American sports. Tiger Woods, who

135
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: was three years old on national television draining putts and

136
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: then won three straight amateur titles, was a prospect in

137
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: American sports. Lebron James was a prospect in American sports.

138
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who won three state titles and in

139
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: three national championships in college winning player of the Year

140
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: every single year, was a prospect in American sports. What

141
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: Brew was saying is if he is considered better than

142
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: all of them, then if he just ends up as

143
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: around the tenth greatest player. It's a disappointment, and Brew

144
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: is correct on that, which is why I'm worried for

145
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: this kid because and I hate to bring it back

146
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: to Lebron, but everyone no.

147
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: But when we're talking about I do, I mean I do,

148
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: I hate because it elicits that reaction. But this is

149
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: a legitimate discussion point, which is everyone is not wired

150
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 4: the way Lebron is to be.

151
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: Able to handle that. And even Lebron, I would argue

152
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: that pressure and expectation directly led to the only true

153
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: failure of his career that the twenty eleven Finals against

154
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: the MAVs. He didn't misshots, he wouldn't take shots, and

155
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: it was this seven year, eight year build towards his

156
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: manifest destiny of being a champion, and he collapsed under it.

157
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: He then rebounded. But even Lebron, who we say handled

158
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: this better than anyone ever, it got to him. What's

159
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: it going to be like for this kid in San Antonio?

160
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: I don't know. So if we're taking if we did

161
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: this on the show yesterday, number one picks since Shack

162
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: the if you were to rank their careers, number one

163
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: would be Lebron, Number two would be Duncan, number three

164
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: would be Shack, four and five are Anthony Davison Dwight.

165
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: I think fair expectations are that he falls somewhere between

166
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: Shack's career and Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis's career in that range,

167
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: So that would be one of the fifty greatest players ever,

168
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: maybe one of the twenty five greatest players ever, somewhere

169
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: in there. But and again I'm not rooting against him

170
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 2: at all, it's the opposite.

171
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 5: It is.

172
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: If this guy, through ten years of his career, has

173
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: four first team All NBAS, two second teams, a couple

174
00:12:48,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: blocks titles, one League MVP, and one championship, that would

175
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: give him one of the best twenty five starts to

176
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: a career ever for a decade, and people would be

177
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 2: disappointed by that. That I don't think is fair.

178
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Okay, everyone's saying that Charlotte is drafting

179
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 3: Brandon Miller, leaving Scoot to fall to number three, which

180
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: for now is Portland's pick. You said yesterday that Portland

181
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: can't have two six two guards, but you also said

182
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 3: passing on Scoot would be a nail in Jordan's coffin

183
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: as GM, so what would be worth, what would be worse,

184
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: Charlotte passing on Scoop or Portland keeping.

185
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Dame Charlotte passing on Scoop. Scoot is indefensible, and for

186
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: some reason, though Jordan's selling the team, they're letting him

187
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: make the pick. I understand he's six to two, but

188
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: the reason they would be passing on him, from all

189
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: reports are less about how much they love Brandon Miller

190
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: and more about the Scoot Lamello fit. Guys, then trade Lamello,

191
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: trade LaMelo, reboot the whole thing with new ownership, have

192
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: Scooped be the forward facing guy instead. They're gonna take

193
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: a good player. But I believe an inferior player who

194
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: this is Diora is totally unaware of this story has

195
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: happened way previous to the podcast, So I think it'll

196
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: be jaw dropping to you that this is. You know,

197
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: some guys can come into the league a little bit

198
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: of baggage. Brandon Miller was. I want to get this

199
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: exactly right. One of Brandon Miller's teammates was arrested for

200
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: murdering someone, and Brandon Miller dropped the gun off to

201
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: the teammate who did it. Allegedly allegedly, this is what

202
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: is reported now. It was the kid's gun, not Brandon Miller's.

203
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: He didn't know what he was gonna do with it,

204
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: all of it. But no, I again, it would appear

205
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: not and the yes, and but it was a young

206
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: woman who was killed. It was like not even like

207
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: it was a It was a dispute at a bar

208
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: in Tuscaloosa. And so they have that. Charlotte has that baggage,

209
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: which it feels like people have been afraid to talk about.

210
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: I was afraid to talk about it there. But we

211
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: know that the other kids in jail. The Charlotte also

212
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: is potentially bringing back Miles Bridges, who missed all of

213
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: last season because again allegedly he beat the hell out

214
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: of I don't know if it's girlfriend fiance, but terrible

215
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: and so that to me, And then you're doing all

216
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: of this because LaMelo, who we don't yet know if

217
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: he's a winning player, needs to be the guy. I

218
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: don't get it. I would draft Scoot. They're not going

219
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: to now if you're Shortland, I would I trade Scoot

220
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: for Zion and say, Dame, you want to stay. Let's

221
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: try to see if Zion and you can do something

222
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: that Trade I would do. But if you're not gonna

223
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: do that, then you have Scoot, you have Shad and Sharp.

224
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: Whether Dame wants to leave or not, you probably need

225
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: to just move on because and this is the thing

226
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: with Dame, and this is the analogy I tried to

227
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: use on television, but I kind of butchered it. I

228
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: believe Dame wants to win a title. I believe Dame

229
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: wants to be a Blazer forever and never. And you know,

230
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: one team his whole career, be a legend there. I

231
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: believe he wants both of those things. It is unfortunate,

232
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: and it is not his fault because Portland has been

233
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: a terrible They have made terrible for an office. Moves

234
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: over the LA last half decade, never got him a

235
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: second star, never built a defense understanding his limitations. Six

236
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: to two guy, all of it got it. But you

237
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: are now in this reality, and you are now in

238
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: this situation where the two things you want cannot happen.

239
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: The analogy I tried to use on TV was, if

240
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: you are someone who says I want to my career

241
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: is massively important to me. I want to be as

242
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: great as possible. Make as much money as possible, and

243
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: I want to be a present parent, pick my kids

244
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: up from school at all the events. And someone offers

245
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: you a job that would be your dream job, the

246
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: job and its cross country, and the family wouldn't move. Now,

247
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: the two things you want are in conflict, and you

248
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: have to make a choice. You have to decide, Okay,

249
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: I want in a perfect world, I want both, I

250
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: can only have one. What's more important? If Dame chooses

251
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: to stay in Portland? He is saying staying a Blazer

252
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: is more important than winning because they are winning a

253
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: championship because at this point they are diametrically opposed. So

254
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: that for Dame, he's gotta make a choice. But the

255
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: other part of this is Portland can make the choice,

256
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 2: which is, if we're serious about winning, at some point

257
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: we can supercharge this rebuild with Scoot Shade and Sharp

258
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: and the number and what we get for Damian Lillard?

259
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: All right, sorry, do you ladies? You're taking a sip

260
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: of water, I throw to you. What's next?

261
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: There was a big trade last night. The Celtics got

262
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 3: Porzingis and the Grizzlies get Marcus Smart. What team made

263
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: it out? Made out the best in this trade.

264
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: All right, I don't really Washington. It's fine, they're just

265
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: tearing it all down. Let's take them out of it.

266
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: I don't love this trade for Memphis. They traded two

267
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 2: first round picks and Tias Jones for Marcus Smart. I

268
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: like Tias Jones a lot. Marcus Smart had a down

269
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: year last year. Now I understand they want a veteran presence,

270
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: they want an adult, They want to keep their identity

271
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: of a tough, defensive minded team. He checks a lot

272
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: of those boxes. And they're gonna be without job for

273
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: twenty five games, so they need a point guard. But

274
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: I think Tias Jones could have done that. And if

275
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 2: I were gonna trade Tias Jones in two first round picks,

276
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: I would have wanted a better return than Marcus Smart.

277
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a terror rule trade, but I

278
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: don't love it for them Boston. It is an interesting

279
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: spot therein if they don't extend Porzingis and this is

280
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: a one year trial, then we're and then let's say

281
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: he walks or it doesn't work, then it's like, Okay,

282
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: we traded Marcus Smart and got back two first round

283
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: picks and a year of Porzingis. We can deal with that.

284
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 2: That's fine, because they want to play Derek Whitemore. Now

285
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: it's weird. This is the other thing gonna happen. Before

286
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: I get into the Celtics side of it. This was

287
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: a three team trade diora with Boston, Washington and Memphis.

288
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: It initially was a three team trade with Boston, Washington

289
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: and the Clippers, and different people were involved, and Malcolm

290
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: Brogden was going to be traded. He plays for Boston.

291
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: That trade didn't go through, so they changed it. But

292
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: now Malcolm Brogden is on the Celtics, who for eight

293
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: hours yesterday everyone in the world, including Malcolm Brogden, thought

294
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 2: had been traded. So do they now have to trade

295
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: Malcolm Brogden, you know, because it's kind of an odd

296
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: working environment. Maybe, but they right now all of a sudden,

297
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 2: the Celtics true like guard depth if you consider Tatum

298
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: and brown Wings is a little light. You have Derek White,

299
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: you have Sam Houser, you have Peyton Pritchard, and you

300
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: have Brogden, who I think people believe they're gonna trade.

301
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: Here's here's what I do like about the Porzingis trade.

302
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: I like the fact that who does Boston have to

303
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: go through to win a title? Out East? You're gonna

304
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: have to go through Miami, obviously, but then Milwaukee and Philly.

305
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: Out west, the two best teams are Denver and the Lakers.

306
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: So what do Philly, Milwaukee, the Nuggets, and the Lakers

307
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: all have in common? Really big people Jannis plus brook

308
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: Lopez if he's back, Joel Embiid, Jokic obviously, Anthony Davis,

309
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: Boston theoretically now Derek White, Tatum and Brown Porzingis. And

310
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: then even if they wanted to go Horford, who's a

311
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: big but can shoot, or if they if Brogden's still

312
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: there's say it's Brogden, you can play five out all

313
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 2: five guys away from the basket, and that means either

314
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: Embiid or Jokic or a d or the Bucks would

315
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: essentially I think that would probably play brook Lopez off

316
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: the court Jannis. In that case they would have to

317
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: guard out in space on the perimeter, and Embiid really

318
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 2: can't do that. Obviously, Yannis can, Anthony Davis can, Jokich

319
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: would rather not. It is an intro wrinkle, So I

320
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 2: get it. My issue is, and this is not a

321
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: unique take, is do you trust Kristaps Perzingis to stay healthy?

322
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: And the answer to that is almost to me assuredly, no.

323
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: Is that poor zingis I I will give you until

324
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: age twenty four ish to get like Embiid got over

325
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: the injury stuff. Zion I hope can get over the

326
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: injury stuff. But once you've been in the league for

327
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: a half decade plus, if you're injury prone, your injury prone.

328
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: And Malcolm Brogden, who's on the Celtics, is injury prone.

329
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: Kristaps Perzingis injuries have kind of defined his NBA career.

330
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: This is why I don't believe in the Clippers. This

331
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: is why I think the Suns could be in trouble

332
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: at some point. You are who you are injury wise.

333
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: It's what's defined a large ports of Anthony Davis's career

334
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: that concerns me. But I get it. I get the swing. Also,

335
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 2: it is the Celtics leaning into the identity Missoula wants.

336
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's smart to let him have

337
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: full control of the car, but is leaning into the

338
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: identity defensive secondary. We are an offensive team, and most

339
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 2: notably we're an offensive team that's gonna bomb threes. And

340
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: now we have a seven foot two inch Lotvian guy

341
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: that is gonna bomb threes. So it's a big swing.

342
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: If they'd have included a contract extension with it, I

343
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: would have hated it. They didn't, so I don't hate it.

344
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: But do I think Chris aps Worzingis is gonna be

345
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: healthy for the playoffs? I'm not so sure about that.

346
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: All right, Last, so rumors have surface that Lebron is

347
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: frustrated with Anthony Davis. Interesting timing with Draymond a free agent,

348
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: and you have the Lebron translator. So is there a

349
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 3: world where he could push the Lakers to move on from.

350
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: Ad Lebron James does not want the Lakers to move

351
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: on from Anthony.

352
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would know, of course.

353
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: Well, call it an informed opinion, in inference. It's not

354
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: quite an inference, A little stronger than an inference. It's

355
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: a little strong.

356
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 3: I just defined an inference. No, you know, I'm a graduate,

357
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: now I know what I'm talking.

358
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate that inferring something would be.

359
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: Taken educated guests.

360
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is and what I'm telling you is this

361
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: is more than that. I am trying to he spoke

362
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: to him.

363
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I know he knows.

364
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: No, I didn't know. Lebron's on a yacht with Maverick

365
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 2: and Draymond in Europe right now. I am not I'm

366
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: not reporting this, but I'm not blindly guessing on this. Okay,

367
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: it is an informed opinion. So with respect to Bill Ryder,

368
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: who I used to work with in Kansas City, who

369
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: got this ball rolling, Lebron is not interested in the

370
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: Lakers trading Anthony Davis. Now, Bill Simmons keeps talking about

371
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: Draymond going to Dallas and Lebron joining them a year

372
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 2: from now. I think that's on the board. But this

373
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 2: idea that that Anthony Davis coming off his best, one

374
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 2: of the best stretches of his career, that all of

375
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: a sudden Lebron's mad at him, it's to me, it's nonsense.

376
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: Like the Lakers see what happens with Chris Paul. The

377
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: Lakers are gonna bring back Austin Reeves. They're probably They're

378
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: one hundred percent bring back Austin Reeves. They're probably bringing

379
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: back RUI you have ad, you have Lebron, who I

380
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 2: understand everyone's waiting for the cliff to hit. And yes,

381
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: now at this point in his career. He's an injury risk,

382
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: but he also just scored thirty points in the first

383
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: half of a playoff game, and you know what, Hold on, scoot,

384
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: I want to diora sorry for the last couple of

385
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: minutes here. Can you give your seat up to producer

386
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 2: Dan for a moment? I apologize? Do you mind? I

387
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: want to share so Producer Dan. If you guys don't remember,

388
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: he's the Nuggets fan who I chastised and scolded on

389
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: the show and in the group chat because he was

390
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: trolling me. He has now come from Los Angeles to

391
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: New York. Producer Dan, how are you? I'm good, I'm good.

392
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: I appreciate you coming wearing your yo kitch? What is

393
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: that a sweatshirt? Jersey shirt? Jersey on? Turn the mic

394
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: a little more towards your face. There you go. These

395
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: are not the great mic stance. Let me ask you

396
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: this as a Nuggets fan, and there is no wrong

397
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: answer here. I'm not trying to set you up here.

398
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: What was your toughest series?

399
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 6: I mean the answer is there wasn't one, but no.

400
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: Sure none. So here's so I understand the Sun series

401
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: went six. Was there ever a point that you thought

402
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: the Suns could beat you, guys.

403
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 6: No, because I thought at a certain point they were

404
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 6: gonna run out of gas, which is what you were

405
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 6: saying on First Things first the whole time.

406
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so the reason I bring this up is

407
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: it's a weird thing to say. And Windors said this

408
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 2: on TV and everyone killed him. Because the Nuggets swept

409
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers. The Nuggets were clearly better than the Lakers.

410
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: I felt that of the four teams the Nuggets played,

411
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: the Lakers gave them the best series, like and I

412
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: understand again, I get that that kind of sounds outrageous

413
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: because the Suns beat them twice the Lakers beat them

414
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: zero times. But to me, the Lakers Nuggets series came

415
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: game one, the Nuggets controlled the entirety of the Lakers

416
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: had a late push at the end to make it close,

417
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: almost stole it. But the other three games were in

418
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: the balance, to my opinion, for forty five minutes, and

419
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: then the Nuggets closed better in all three games. But

420
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: I felt like, I felt like the gap between the

421
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: Nuggets and Suns was bigger, like looking back then the

422
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: gap between the Nuggets and the Lakers, because it felt

423
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: it felt to me like the the Sun's path was well, yeah,

424
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: Durant and Booker score ninety, then they can give you,

425
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean, they can give you guys a

426
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: game I didn't. So I say all that in this regard.

427
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: This is the question I have for you. And again

428
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: there's not a wrong answer here. Who right now this moment,

429
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: going into next season, do you view as the second

430
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: best team in the Western Conference? In the West, Yeah,

431
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: like the biggest threat. I know you probably don't feel

432
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: there is a threat.

433
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 6: But the I'm not like job over here, I'm not

434
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 6: gonna say we're finding them.

435
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me how about let me I'm gonna

436
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: phrase a different way. I'm gonna give you a nuclear

437
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: scenario for you. Jokic today holds a press conference in

438
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: Somber and said, you know what, I missed my horses

439
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: too much. I've done everything I came to do.

440
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 6: This is the night near that I have more frequently

441
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 6: than you would think.

442
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: And it's, by the way, it's obviously not going to

443
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 2: happen now. But he is the type of guy you

444
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: could see walk on the way early. I mean, he

445
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: keeps telling us how much he just tolerates playing basketball,

446
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

447
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 6: Like I think after this contract, it's very on this

448
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 6: it's on the board that he's not done.

449
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: Yea. I mean he's got like a quarter of a

450
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: billion left on the deal, and so you still have

451
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: five years or four years whatever. Yeah, but so, but

452
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: let's just say he did it today. If he did

453
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: it today and said I'm out, who would be your

454
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: pick to win the West?

455
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 6: I think it's hard because so much is about to

456
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 6: happen even tonight, starting out the draft.

457
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: But I I don't want.

458
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 6: To say this because I know it's beeding to you.

459
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 6: But the Lakers I think are gonna make a move

460
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 6: with They're gonna get rid of Dangelo Russell. I think

461
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 6: there's there's some steam behind the Indiana trade that they

462
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 6: can finally get Buddy Healed, Turner both.

463
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: I just so this is so, this is the point

464
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: that I was trying to get at, and it's the

465
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: I do not think the Lakers have closed the game

466
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: on Denver. They've done nothing. I think Denver has earned

467
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: the right to be the significant favorite. But if the

468
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: question is out West, who is the second best team?

469
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: The answer had to me has to be the Lakers

470
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: or the Suns. And I just don't think what the

471
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: Suns don't. I don't believe in what they've done, and

472
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: I don't believe in their ability to get the finish line.

473
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: And I would then remind the audience when the Lakers

474
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: won the title and then added a few pieces that offseason,

475
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: they were considered the overwhelming favorite out West. And I

476
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: don't know if they were the overwhelming favorite of the league

477
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: because of Milwaukee, but they were the overwhelming favorite out West,

478
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: and they looked like it for forty games, and then

479
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: Lebron got hurt, then Ad got hurt, and the whole

480
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: thing went to hell. But in the moment, it always

481
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: feels like the champions going to repeat. And I'm not

482
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,239
Speaker 2: saying you guys won't, but in Milwaukee back correct in

483
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: the moment, if we just look back the last few champions,

484
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: when the Lakers won, it was like, oh, Lebron and

485
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: Ad they're bigger than everyone. They're you know what I mean,

486
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: They're just gonna win. When Milwaukee won, I was like,

487
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: I thought, well, they'll win three of the next four,

488
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's felt like Gianni's fully

489
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: realized everything. Golden State was a little different because they

490
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: were at the end of the run instead of the

491
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: first one, and Denver right now it feels like, well,

492
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna win a bunch of these and it's just hard.

493
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: And so now I do think Denver wins another title

494
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: and maybe they go back to back. I'm not sure,

495
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: but I would. I would imagine Jokic has at least

496
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: one more ring in him. But I I think the Lakers.

497
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: The reason I'm doing all this is trading Anthony Davis

498
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: would be insane. It would be totally insane, for sure, Sir,

499
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: you and I friends again, I think, so there we go.

511
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome back in episode one sixty one, and

512
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. I started drinking ag one

513
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: as a great way to start off my day. Constantly

514
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: being on the go means I don't always get the

515
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: nutrients I need, but ag one gives my body the

516
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: nutrients it craves. Ag One is a daily foundational nutritional

517
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: supplement that supports whole body health. I drink it every

518
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: day and you just mix it with some water. It

519
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: tastes great and you feel better after doing it. All

520
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 2: great athletes, of which I am not one, have one

521
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 2: thing in common. They take care of their bodies. And

522
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: while they all start their days in different ways, I

523
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: start mine by drinking ag one to ensure a great

524
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: way to start my day. Speaking of great starts, folks

525
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: want to know this. Victor W. Minyama's going number one.

526
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: Scoot's gonna go two or three? It would look like

527
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 2: he's going three. Both are amazing prospects with potentially great

528
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: careers ahead. Which one of them will get off to

529
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: a better start this year? I think it'll be Scoot.

530
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: I think Scoot will play more often. I think Scoot

531
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: is has an NBA body already despite being only six

532
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: to two, and Scoot is crazy competitive. I will also

533
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: add one other piece to it. I think that the

534
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: that other guys around the league are going to try

535
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: to go after Wimby and dunk on him and do things. Now,

536
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: some of them are gonna get you know, blocked and

537
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: posterized in the other direction, but I think he'll be

538
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: targeted more than Scoot will, so in the very early

539
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: you know, return to I think Scoot will get off

540
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 2: to the better start. I may not have all the answers,

541
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: but if a comprehensive solution is what you need from

542
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: your supplement routine, then try ag one and get a

543

Speaker 2: our friends at ag one for sponsoring that little Scoot

550
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: Wimby discussion. Diora time for a game.

551
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 3: So we're gonna play a game of right or wrong.

552
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 3: The Clippers are apparently considering trading Paul George, but why

553
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 3: trade him and keep Kawi? Right or wrong? The Clippers

554
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: are trading the wrong guy.

555
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: I don't think there's much of a market for Kawhi, Like,

556
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: who's gonna write the story on Kawhi Leonard being just

557
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 2: a legendarily bad teammate. Who who's gonna that? And he's

558
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 2: obviously an excellent player when he's healthy, and everyone doesn't

559
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: need to be as loquacious as what you're laughing at me.

560
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: No, I would never do that.

561
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: As talkative if you'd prefer me to say that, I

562
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: think loquacious is perfect time for it, as Magic Johnson

563
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: in his prime. But Kawhi's total lack of communication the

564
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: and I mentioned this on TV yesterday, and I just

565
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 2: think it Warren's mentioning a couple of years ago when

566
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: Qui tore his ACL in the playoffs, Skip Bayless, my

567
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: colleague knew that quiet Or torn a cl well before

568
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 2: the Clippers did. That can't happen so at his age,

569
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: with his injury history, I don't think he has a

570
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: big trade market. I think Paul George does. Paul George

571
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: now has a bad injury history as well, but culturally

572
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: Paul George is just a better fit for an organization

573
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 2: and the Clippers need to admit this was a failed

574
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 2: attempt at a super team and probably start over next.

575
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: Speaking of Paul George, yesterday, Future Hornets legend Brandon Miller

576
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: said that the goat is at mj oor Lebron but

577
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: Paul George, right or wrong? Get this guy a podcast

578
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 3: immediate too many podcasts.

579
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 2: I understand the irony of me saying that do you

580
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: are a people your age? What do they mean when

581
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 2: they say the word goat, like.

582
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: The MVP, like the number one?

583
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 2: Like, but can multiple people be goats?

584
00:37:58,800 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 3: You can be goated?

585
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: So what does that mean for people your age?

586
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like it's just like like, oh, that's goaded,

587
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 3: like like Jordan's are goated.

588
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: You know the shoes the shoes right. So Wild's made

589
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: this point that the definition of the word goat, uh

590
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: changes by the age of the person saying and Wild's tweeted,

591
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: really old person when they say goat, they mean the

592
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 2: actual farm animal. It's slightly younger means the guy who

593
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: blew it like he was a goat in a bad way.

594
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 2: My age, it means the greatest of all time.

595
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it's supposed to me.

596
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: Right, but younger than me, it's like there can be

597
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 2: multiple it just means awesome.

598
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 3: I can say that there can be multiple goats, but

599
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: there can be multiple things that are goated.

600
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: Goated. Yeah, young people are dumb, that's my takeaway. Like

601
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: these Jordan's are you know the so.

602
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: Like I mean, the only people that usually use the

603
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 3: term goaded are like thirteen year old boy.

604
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. See that's what I'm saying. Young people are dumb. Yeah,

605
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: that's you know what thirteen year old boys, no matter

606
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: the generation, always been dumb. Uh so eying Brandon Miller,

607
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: who's nineteen years old, was just like he was my

608
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 2: favorite player growing up. I think that's what he meant,

609
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: all right.

610
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 3: Next Okay, so next one is Wemby and it's and

611
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: his insane hands through a pitch through the first pitch

612
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: at Yankee.

613
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 2: Do you look at that picture that's a baseball, that's

614
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: a regulation size baseball. Like that picture, it kind of

615
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: freaks you out. Young If people have never seen hold

616
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: on I'm gonna pull this up for de York because

617
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: I bet she's never seen it. Uh, do you know

618
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: who Andre the Giant was?

619
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 3: I've heard the name.

620
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: Okay, he was. He was a legendary wrestler, but he

621
00:39:55,120 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: was actual giant. That picture, and hold on, you have

622
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 2: to look at this to your this is Andre the

623
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 2: Giant holding a full sized beer, so like like the

624
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: size of a can of coke, a beer can. Look

625
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 2: at that the and so Wimby's got hands like that,

626
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 2: they're just obviously not as Andre the Giant stubby. Yeah,

627
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: Andre the Giant could take off his ring finger or

628
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 2: ring finger, sorry, his ring from his ring finger, and

629
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: you could fit a golf ball through it. So his

630
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 2: fingers were the circumference of golf balls. And so Wimby,

631
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 2: So go ahead and ask the question. Sorry, because Wimby

632
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: just envelops the baseball in that picture.

633
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: It went way left.

634
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was a terrible first pitch.

635
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 3: So right or wrong the pitch affected your opinion of Wimby.

636
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go wrong. I think he's obviously a great athlete.

637
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: Throwing a baseball's hard if you don't do it often,

638
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: and thrown from the mound is hard. No, zero percent,

639
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: zero percent sixty feet six inches. First of all, I

640
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 2: don't know that you could even get it there. Second

641
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: of all, it would you would not be able to aim.

642
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: I had to throw out first pitch at the Royals

643
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: game once. I practiced for three hours that morning because I.

644
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 3: Can't repractice a little bit before.

645
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: Like the well, yeah, I mean it's just again, Andy's

646
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 2: so big, So no, I don't hold that against him,

647
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 2: all right, next.

648
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Katie replied to a random tweet saying, James hard

649
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 3: and Russell Westbrook and.

650
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: Kyrie that's a hard one to say. Russell Westbrook because

651
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 2: of the rs of the Wye would go ahead.

652
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 3: And Kyrie Irving don't get the credit that they deserve

653
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: for inspiring a younger generation of fans. Weird, they're all

654
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 3: free agents, right or wrong? Katie wants a fourth Superstar.

655
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think I'm sure he does. He's not

656
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: gonna get one, but I think that's why he said it.

657
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: I think he said it because Katie, Katie, he has

658
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: a real appreciation for other guys across the league, and

659
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 2: all those guys did they do have real legacies. Harden,

660
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: we think about the playoffs, all this, the step back

661
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: and the euro step. He was better at those than

662
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: anyone in NBA history. Kyrie was better at the eurostep

663
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: than man it. He just was. Kyrie has the best

664
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 2: below the rim layup package, one of the best, one

665
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 2: of the top three in NBA history, and one of

666
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: the top three handles in NBA history. And Russell Westbrook

667
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: kind of made the triple double cool again. So all

668
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: those guys do have unique legacies. Katies right about that?

669
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 2: All right?

670
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: Next after, Jamar Chase replied Pat Who when asked about Mahomes,

671
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey told him to cool it right or wrong?

672
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 3: Chiefs Begals? Is the is the best current envy? Oh

673
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: my gosh, NFL rivalry?

674
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 2: Are you okay? No? Are you doing all right this morning?

675
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: I feel like you need some age, maybe get your

676
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: brain popping a little bit better. You know they're right,

677
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: but it won't be for long. The Bengals a bit

678
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 2: off more than they can chew. This Pat Who thing

679
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: is going to fuel the Chiefs all year. Two words

680
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: have never had more of a detrimental impact on a

681
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: team's ability to win a championship than Jamar Chase foolishly

682
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 2: saying pat who all right?

683
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: Next, Aaron Rodgers is speaking at the largest psychedelic conference

684
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 3: in history in Denver this weekend. Right or wrong, We're.

685
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 2: Going, We're not going, and listen. I'm not anti psychedelics.

686
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 2: I have read the I won't no one act like

687
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: I've read the research papers. But I've read the articles

688
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: written by people who have read the research papers and

689
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 2: the testimonials that micro too sing or very regulated use

690
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 2: of psychedelics can have true therapeutic effects in dealing with

691
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 2: trauma and pad and I believe that. I don't totally

692
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 2: understand it, and it scares me. I believe it. I

693
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 2: have no issue in theory with Rogers doing it all

694
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 2: of this stuff. I have an issue with the general

695
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: media hypocrisy because I think we all know that if

696
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: we're I'm just gonna be totally honest, this is gonna

697
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: get people mad. We'll get a couple of emails, we

698
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: move on. This is something only a white quarterback could do.

699
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: He couldn't have a Lamar Jackson, couldn't be out there

700
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: talking about yeah this offseason, I went and tripped my

701
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: ass off, and I look at the world differently now

702
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: and then advocate for it like this is a very

703
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 2: clear double standard on who we do allow and don't

704
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 2: allow to talk about drugs and experimental drug use. So

705
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: it bothers me in that regard that a lot of

706
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 2: the same people who not that long ag go would

707
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 2: freak out if guys popped a positive for a marijuana test.

708
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 2: Now think Aaron Rodgers traveling going on international trips with

709
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: the sole purpose of getting high. They think it's you know, adorable.

710
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: But I am not a teetotaler. I'm not anti drugs,

711
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: especially drugs in this form that are that do have

712
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: some true, naturally therapeutic and healing benefits. Quick break right Back, will.

713
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 3: Trade Welcome Back, Episode one sixty one, and now we're

714
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 3: going to read the fan questions. Skeeter Andrews asked with

715
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart and JJJ Triple J.

716
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jared Jackson Jr.

717
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Triple J. Are the Grizzlies the best defensive team

718
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 3: in the league?

719
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: They certainly could be. I mean, they have plus defenders

720
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 2: all over the place. Now they are losing Dylan Brooks, who,

721
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: for all his limitations, was a good defender. They could be.

722
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: I don't I a locked in motivated angry Milwaukee team

723
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: is probably gonna be my pick there for best defensive team.

724
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 2: But we got to see Middleton just opted out. I'm

725
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: sure they're gonna bring him back, but uh, they're on

726
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 2: the short list. Yeah, all right, Next, this is a

727
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 2: tough name.

728
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 3: Devache Goel asked, Nick, are you do you think that

729
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 3: the Celtics will have a leadership issue now that Smart

730
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 3: has left?

731
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: It's on the board. I listen, this is Jason Tatum's

732
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 2: gotta step up. There's a lot of things that Jason Tatum,

733
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: he's a great player, but that he has to improve

734
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: on if they're gonna get over the hump. And I

735
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 2: don't think Marcus Smart. I I respect his leadership, but

736
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 2: I think they needed a new voice there, and I

737
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: think it's got to be Tatum's next.

738
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 3: Okay. William Turnbull asked question for Nick. Besides Mahomes going down, Oh, let's.

739
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: Do big Let's do big cam first, Big Cam eighty seven?

740
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 3: Okay, big Cam eighty seven? Ass Nick, where would the

741
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 3: best landing spot be for Paul George if he is traded?

742
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: Listen, Paul George fits a lot of places. Paul George

743
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: is very good player, He's low maintenance. He can't. If

744
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 2: he's your number one, you're screwed. If he's your number two,

745
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 2: you need you need either a really good roster around

746
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: him or an excellent number one. Uh. I'm trying to

747
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 2: think of like a plug and play spot for Paul

748
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: George that makes a ton of sense. I'll be listen.

749
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 2: Lebron wanted to play with him years ago. Obviously that

750
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: would fit, but the Lakers can't get him. I think

751
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: he would be really good for Miami if they end

752
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 2: up missing out on Dame and Paul George and Jimmy

753
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: is the you know, kind of what they were hoping

754
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: Kawhi and Paul George could have been. That one's interesting.

755
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 2: I think he'd be really good with Philly. I. Boston

756
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 2: obviously can't get him, and they don't need him at

757
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 2: the I mean, you could trade Jalen Brown. They're not

758
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: gonna do that. Uh, trying to think of other places

759
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 2: that make a lot of sense. I don't know. I'll

760
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: tell you one that no, that and I don't know.

761
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 2: I don't think they could make this work, but that

762
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: would instantly turn them into one of the more interesting teams.

763
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: Daniels shaking his head. Oh, you say the MAVs. No,

764
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: it would be great with you. He'd be great for

765
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 2: the maps, great for the MAVs. It'd be just the

766
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: guy you'd want alongside Luca. Uh, but they don't. That's

767
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: that's not the one. Sacramento would be fun because you

768
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: have you have your the homeless Man's Jokic in Sabonis. Yeah,

769
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 2: and that like that is like that. The people got

770
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 2: mad at me because a few weeks ago somebody said,

771
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 2: like Jokic transformed to the game or something, and I

772
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: just made the born. I was like, there's someone in

773
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 2: the league that plays just like him. There's just worse

774
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 2: than him and everything in Sabonis. But it's the stylistically,

775
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 2: they're the same guy trying to do the same things.

776
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 2: But people, first of all, didn't watch Sabonis ever in

777
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: his career until this playoff series where he was terrible.

778
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 2: He's way better than that. But and he's, you know,

779
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: forty percent of the player Yokich's, but he's the same mindset.

780
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: But you have that kind of do it all center.

781
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 2: You have your point guard in Fox, a great wing

782
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: to like replace Harrison Barnes minutes. Something would be great there.

783
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 2: The map would be awesome, as well. All right, are

784
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 2: you making fun of my hands? Right now? All right?

785
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 3: Next, William Turnabull asked question for Nick. Besides Mahomes going down.

786
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 2: Look, how dare you go ahead?

787
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 3: What could be the reason the Chiefs don't repeat as much?

788
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: That's hard man, single elimination tournament. I mean, there's a

789
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 2: reason that nobody's repeated since the Patriots and three h four.

790
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 2: But the biggest reason would be other than Mahomes going

791
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 2: down is and I hate to even say this, but

792
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 2: if Age finally gets Kelsey, I mean Kelsey is thirty three,

793
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: which for thirty four. Maybe this point, which for a

794
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: tight end, is ancient, and so I don't see. Uh.

795
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: If Mahomes is healthy, I think the defense will be better,

796
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: Like it would be that the receivers don't pop, and

797
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 2: Kelsey regresses that would be the reason. All right.

798
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 3: Last, Baba one one seven one asks Diorra, has your

799
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 3: dad let you drive the new car yet? Or anyone

800
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 3: of the family you see, since I'm supposedly part owner

801
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 3: of the car, but I haven't.

802
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 2: Been, how are you supposedly part owner of the car?

803
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 2: Who told you that?

804
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: In my cover? We said that we tell people it was.

805
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 2: Mike oh yeah, sorry, my bad. All right, we'll fix

806
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,959
Speaker 2: that and postmm no doors yet to drive the car?

807
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 2: Can you tell the audience about when I got the

808
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 2: car what you did with your friends group chat. Oh.

809
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 3: I took a picture of it and I put to

810
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 3: the song. I put a song over it and sent

811
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 3: it to my friends. I posted on my private story

812
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 3: first and then I sent it to my friends and

813
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 3: all my friends are like your dream.

814
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: Car, And it was, but it was the context was

Speaker 2: school tuition, I then just transferred that to my new car.

Speaker 2: school tuition to pay for get the new car.

821
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 3: The worst part is is I was supposed to get

822
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 3: the old car, but it broke down too much.

823

00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 2: of things you couldn't. I couldn't a lot of things

850
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 2: you could do. We'll see. By the way, Ian Bagley reporting,

851
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 2: the Knicks and the Clippers have had contact about Paul George.

852
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 2: That's interesting. I don't think that the problem. This is

853
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 2: what I'm the Knicks fans. I'm sorry, I love you,

854
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 2: but this is what I mean when I say, if

855
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 2: he can't be your number one, and if he's your

856
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 2: number two. Your number one's gotta be awesome. Jallen Brunson's

857
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 2: really good, but Jaylen Brunson Paul George's two best players.

858
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 2: There's a ceiling. Those other teams we mentioned have a

859
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,640
