<v Speaker 2>In episode one sixty one, What's right with Nick Wright?

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>It is the day of the NBA Draft that is

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>coming in a few hours. We had a big trade

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>last night. We have a ton to do. The TV

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>shows back to ninety minutes at our regularly scheduled time, man,

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 2>And it's funny how quickly you can adjust. We did

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 2>five days of a thirty minute show. I got used

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to that lifestyle, twenty two minutes of content. I mean

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 2>that Tony and Mike bt I have been just killing

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the game for twenty years doing a thirty minute show.

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I once upon a time did a three hour show.

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>So then ninety minutes felt easy. But yesterday, man, it's like,

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>when's this thing gonna end? We got a ninety minute

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 2>show today. Deora is back, and I must say before

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>we get to the content, sorry, Scoot, don't don't get upset.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Well call me Scoot. When we're talking about Scoot.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>I apologize. Oh good point. There is a Scoot Henderson,

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe subconsciously that's why I'm so high on him. A draft.

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll get down in a moment. But this is you're

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna make fun of me. You're gonna say this is

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>cringe or something whatever.

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't see.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>But it is very touching to me that Diora is

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>here today because this is her first show as a

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 2>high school graduate, which also means it's exactly right, it's

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>her first show. She did not have to be here for.

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>She chose to be here, and that is just delightful.

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>We also have a new sponsor. I actually have, you know,

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of picked out this outfit with the sponsor in mind.

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Even though it is not a clothing sponsor, we do

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>have one clothing sponsored. It is, of course Trintage, Harlem's

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 2>newest and greatest women's boutique. They are only clothing sponsor. However,

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to the new sponsor in a bit. We

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>have a lot to do. I don't have a ton

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>of time today, very very busy day. So let's first

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>get to what missed. Here's what missed the cut. Dalvin

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Cook and DeAndre Hopkins want to play together. Bars in Washington,

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>DC are gonna be open for twenty four hours for

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the Women's World Cup, which of course you can see

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>on Fox and FS one. And I paid off my

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>debt to demands. Did you give him a heads up

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>about that?

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Diora, No, I didn't, so he wouldn't give me a cut?

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow? What's this? Oh so we're putting our group chat.

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know on the on the screen. I sent

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>a Godfather meme to Demonse because Demanse was saying that

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.399
<v Speaker 2>I didn't pay my debts. But there's that. Now, let's

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 2>get right to the show. Diora, take us into the draft.

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so the NBA Draft is tonight. Wimby is going

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 3>number one, So it's time to go on record. Is

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>this guy gonna be an all time great? Or a

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 3>two K? Create a player gone wrong?

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 2>All right? I know this isn't the take people want,

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna go with neither. I this is my

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I understand because he's seven to five. He has a

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 2>good looking jump shot, even though he only I mean,

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>he shot twenty nine percent from threes in his league

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>in Europe. You assume that will improve. He's going to

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>be an instantly impactful defensive player just because of his length.

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I understand why he is such a sought after prospect.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I do not think though, he will

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 2>be more instantly impactful than say Luca was, who was

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>another guy who crushed in Europe. Luca actually had more

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>success in Europe and Luca to me, I know, he

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>went third in the draft, and actually the team that

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 2>was drafting fifth, Dallas, ended up getting which they traded

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>because Atlanta made an all time bad trade. But it

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>was hard. It's hard for me to comprehend the idea

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 2>that this guy is just flatly, clearly a better prospect

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>than Luca was. Now he obviously is in the eyes

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 2>of GMS, because again he's the consensus number one by

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a mile. Luca went third behind DeAndre Ayton and Marvin Bagley.

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 2>But we knew Luca's body worked in the NBA and

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>if you watched anything, you knew his ceiling was one

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 2>of the five best offensive players ever. You knew those things,

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>and thus far he's not tracking towards being one of

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 2>the five best offensive players ever. But he is the

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>all time record holder in playoff points per game. He

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>has four first team All nbas in five years in

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the league. He's been pretty special. Wimby is all projection

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 2>because we've never seen a player quite like him. Now,

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>when they say two K creative player gone wrong, I

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 2>have to assume what they're talking about there is injuries,

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 2>because literally every player in league history taller than seven

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to two has dealt with some form of injuries altering

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 2>their careers. Yows they ended his career. Rick Smith's dealt

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>with it. He wasn't all the time great, but dealt

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 2>with injuries. Are Vitas Sabonis his feet went out on him,

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Ralph Sampson, the suit Porzingis, who will get to later

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>in the show. The freakishly tall guys. It's some variance

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>as far as guys rolling into him and some parts

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of the body just not being built to be running

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 2>up and down a court, jumping cutting at that size.

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>So that part does concern me. But here is the

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 2>bigger thing that concerns me. What concerns me for this

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 2>young man who is fifteen months older than Diorra is

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 2>that and he seems to be a great kid, and

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 2>he seems to really be level headed, but that we

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>have set the expectations at such an outrageous place that

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 2>he could be a Hall of Famer who wins a

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 2>league MVP and be considered a disappointment. We've only done

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>that to one other NBA player in my lifetime, Lebron James.

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>And Lebron met and then exceeded somehow the expectations, but

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>they were unfair. But at least with Lebron, you were like, well,

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>we know this body type works. We know like as

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 2>much as you can as far as injury concerns go.

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>If Wimby's on the furthest negative end of the spectrum,

0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Lebron was the antithesis of that. But I saw that

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Making the rounds again today was a quote from Brusard

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and JJ Reddick did some Oh, I'm gonna make fun

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 2>of myself, but I'm really making fun of other members

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>of the media with bad takes from the year, and

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 2>he included Brusard saying, if Wimby is a chem Olajuan,

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a disappointment, which was a quote, but it was

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 2>totally stripped of its context when people have been when

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that's been making the rounds of people and crushing Brew

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.079
<v Speaker 2>for it. That was within the context of the day

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>after the draft lottery, Adrian Wojanowski went on television and said,

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>multiple league executives believe that by year three he will

0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 2>be the best offensive player in the league and the

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 2>best defensive player in the league. He was called the

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 2>greatest prospect in the history not of the NBA, but

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 2>of American sports. And when you keep in mind, Serena

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Williams was a prospect in American sports. Tiger Woods, who

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 2>was three years old on national television draining putts and

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>then won three straight amateur titles, was a prospect in

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>American sports. Lebron James was a prospect in American sports.

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who won three state titles and in

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>three national championships in college winning player of the Year

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 2>every single year, was a prospect in American sports. What

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Brew was saying is if he is considered better than

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 2>all of them, then if he just ends up as

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>around the tenth greatest player. It's a disappointment, and Brew

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 2>is correct on that, which is why I'm worried for

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 2>this kid because and I hate to bring it back

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>to Lebron, but everyone no.

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 4>But when we're talking about I do, I mean I do,

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 4>I hate because it elicits that reaction. But this is

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 4>a legitimate discussion point, which is everyone is not wired

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 4>the way Lebron is to be.

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Able to handle that. And even Lebron, I would argue

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 2>that pressure and expectation directly led to the only true

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.839
<v Speaker 2>failure of his career that the twenty eleven Finals against

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 2>the MAVs. He didn't misshots, he wouldn't take shots, and

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it was this seven year, eight year build towards his

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 2>manifest destiny of being a champion, and he collapsed under it.

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 2>He then rebounded. But even Lebron, who we say handled

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 2>this better than anyone ever, it got to him. What's

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 2>it going to be like for this kid in San Antonio?

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. So if we're taking if we did

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 2>this on the show yesterday, number one picks since Shack

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the if you were to rank their careers, number one

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 2>would be Lebron, Number two would be Duncan, number three

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>would be Shack, four and five are Anthony Davison Dwight.

0:11:55.240 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I think fair expectations are that he falls somewhere between

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Shack's career and Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis's career in that range,

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 2>So that would be one of the fifty greatest players ever,

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:23.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe one of the twenty five greatest players ever, somewhere

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 2>in there. But and again I'm not rooting against him

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 2>at all, it's the opposite.

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 5>It is.

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 2>If this guy, through ten years of his career, has

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>four first team All NBAS, two second teams, a couple

0:12:48.760 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 2>blocks titles, one League MVP, and one championship, that would

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>give him one of the best twenty five starts to

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 2>a career ever for a decade, and people would be

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 2>disappointed by that. That I don't think is fair.

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, Okay, everyone's saying that Charlotte is drafting

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:23.319
<v Speaker 3>Brandon Miller, leaving Scoot to fall to number three, which

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 3>for now is Portland's pick. You said yesterday that Portland

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 3>can't have two six two guards, but you also said

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 3>passing on Scoot would be a nail in Jordan's coffin

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 3>as GM, so what would be worth, what would be worse,

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Charlotte passing on Scoop or Portland keeping.

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Dame Charlotte passing on Scoop. Scoot is indefensible, and for

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 2>some reason, though Jordan's selling the team, they're letting him

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 2>make the pick. I understand he's six to two, but

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 2>the reason they would be passing on him, from all

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>reports are less about how much they love Brandon Miller

0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and more about the Scoot Lamello fit. Guys, then trade Lamello,

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>trade LaMelo, reboot the whole thing with new ownership, have

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Scooped be the forward facing guy instead. They're gonna take

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 2>a good player. But I believe an inferior player who

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 2>this is Diora is totally unaware of this story has

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>happened way previous to the podcast, So I think it'll

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 2>be jaw dropping to you that this is. You know,

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 2>some guys can come into the league a little bit

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>of baggage. Brandon Miller was. I want to get this

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 2>exactly right. One of Brandon Miller's teammates was arrested for

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>murdering someone, and Brandon Miller dropped the gun off to

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>the teammate who did it. Allegedly allegedly, this is what

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 2>is reported now. It was the kid's gun, not Brandon Miller's.

0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>He didn't know what he was gonna do with it,

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 2>all of it. But no, I again, it would appear

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>not and the yes, and but it was a young

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>woman who was killed. It was like not even like

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>it was a It was a dispute at a bar

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>in Tuscaloosa. And so they have that. Charlotte has that baggage,

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 2>which it feels like people have been afraid to talk about.

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I was afraid to talk about it there. But we

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 2>know that the other kids in jail. The Charlotte also

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 2>is potentially bringing back Miles Bridges, who missed all of

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 2>last season because again allegedly he beat the hell out

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 2>of I don't know if it's girlfriend fiance, but terrible

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and so that to me, And then you're doing all

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 2>of this because LaMelo, who we don't yet know if

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 2>he's a winning player, needs to be the guy. I

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>don't get it. I would draft Scoot. They're not going

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to now if you're Shortland, I would I trade Scoot

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 2>for Zion and say, Dame, you want to stay. Let's

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 2>try to see if Zion and you can do something

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 2>that Trade I would do. But if you're not gonna

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 2>do that, then you have Scoot, you have Shad and Sharp.

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Whether Dame wants to leave or not, you probably need

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>to just move on because and this is the thing

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 2>with Dame, and this is the analogy I tried to

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 2>use on television, but I kind of butchered it. I

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 2>believe Dame wants to win a title. I believe Dame

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 2>wants to be a Blazer forever and never. And you know,

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 2>one team his whole career, be a legend there. I

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 2>believe he wants both of those things. It is unfortunate,

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and it is not his fault because Portland has been

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>a terrible They have made terrible for an office. Moves

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 2>over the LA last half decade, never got him a

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:06.120
<v Speaker 2>second star, never built a defense understanding his limitations. Six

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 2>to two guy, all of it got it. But you

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 2>are now in this reality, and you are now in

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 2>this situation where the two things you want cannot happen.

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.639
<v Speaker 2>The analogy I tried to use on TV was, if

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 2>you are someone who says I want to my career

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 2>is massively important to me. I want to be as

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.400
<v Speaker 2>great as possible. Make as much money as possible, and

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a present parent, pick my kids

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 2>up from school at all the events. And someone offers

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 2>you a job that would be your dream job, the

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 2>job and its cross country, and the family wouldn't move. Now,

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.199
<v Speaker 2>the two things you want are in conflict, and you

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 2>have to make a choice. You have to decide, Okay,

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I want in a perfect world, I want both, I

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 2>can only have one. What's more important? If Dame chooses

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 2>to stay in Portland? He is saying staying a Blazer

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 2>is more important than winning because they are winning a

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 2>championship because at this point they are diametrically opposed. So

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 2>that for Dame, he's gotta make a choice. But the

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 2>other part of this is Portland can make the choice,

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:41.120
<v Speaker 2>which is, if we're serious about winning, at some point

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 2>we can supercharge this rebuild with Scoot Shade and Sharp

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and the number and what we get for Damian Lillard?

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, sorry, do you ladies? You're taking a sip

0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>of water, I throw to you. What's next?

0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 3>There was a big trade last night. The Celtics got

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Porzingis and the Grizzlies get Marcus Smart. What team made

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 3>it out? Made out the best in this trade.

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, I don't really Washington. It's fine, they're just

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 2>tearing it all down. Let's take them out of it.

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't love this trade for Memphis. They traded two

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:24.719
<v Speaker 2>first round picks and Tias Jones for Marcus Smart. I

0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 2>like Tias Jones a lot. Marcus Smart had a down

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 2>year last year. Now I understand they want a veteran presence,

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 2>they want an adult, They want to keep their identity

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.400
<v Speaker 2>of a tough, defensive minded team. He checks a lot

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 2>of those boxes. And they're gonna be without job for

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty five games, so they need a point guard. But

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I think Tias Jones could have done that. And if

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I were gonna trade Tias Jones in two first round picks,

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I would have wanted a better return than Marcus Smart.

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a terror rule trade, but I

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 2>don't love it for them Boston. It is an interesting

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 2>spot therein if they don't extend Porzingis and this is

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 2>a one year trial, then we're and then let's say

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 2>he walks or it doesn't work, then it's like, Okay,

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>we traded Marcus Smart and got back two first round

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>picks and a year of Porzingis. We can deal with that.

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:29.160
<v Speaker 2>That's fine, because they want to play Derek Whitemore. Now

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.399
<v Speaker 2>it's weird. This is the other thing gonna happen. Before

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I get into the Celtics side of it. This was

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a three team trade diora with Boston, Washington and Memphis.

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 2>It initially was a three team trade with Boston, Washington

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and the Clippers, and different people were involved, and Malcolm

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Brogden was going to be traded. He plays for Boston.

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 2>That trade didn't go through, so they changed it. But

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 2>now Malcolm Brogden is on the Celtics, who for eight

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 2>hours yesterday everyone in the world, including Malcolm Brogden, thought

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.439
<v Speaker 2>had been traded. So do they now have to trade

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Malcolm Brogden, you know, because it's kind of an odd

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>working environment. Maybe, but they right now all of a sudden,

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.719
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics true like guard depth if you consider Tatum

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and brown Wings is a little light. You have Derek White,

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.439
<v Speaker 2>you have Sam Houser, you have Peyton Pritchard, and you

0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 2>have Brogden, who I think people believe they're gonna trade.

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Here's here's what I do like about the Porzingis trade.

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I like the fact that who does Boston have to

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 2>go through to win a title? Out East? You're gonna

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 2>have to go through Miami, obviously, but then Milwaukee and Philly.

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Out west, the two best teams are Denver and the Lakers.

0:21:55.440 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 2>So what do Philly, Milwaukee, the Nuggets, and the Lakers

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 2>all have in common? Really big people Jannis plus brook

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Lopez if he's back, Joel Embiid, Jokic obviously, Anthony Davis,

0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Boston theoretically now Derek White, Tatum and Brown Porzingis. And

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 2>then even if they wanted to go Horford, who's a

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 2>big but can shoot, or if they if Brogden's still

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:34.639
<v Speaker 2>there's say it's Brogden, you can play five out all

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 2>five guys away from the basket, and that means either

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Embiid or Jokic or a d or the Bucks would

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>essentially I think that would probably play brook Lopez off

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:47.919
<v Speaker 2>the court Jannis. In that case they would have to

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 2>guard out in space on the perimeter, and Embiid really

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:57.360
<v Speaker 2>can't do that. Obviously, Yannis can, Anthony Davis can, Jokich

0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 2>would rather not. It is an intro wrinkle, So I

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 2>get it. My issue is, and this is not a

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 2>unique take, is do you trust Kristaps Perzingis to stay healthy?

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 2>And the answer to that is almost to me assuredly, no.

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Is that poor zingis I I will give you until

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 2>age twenty four ish to get like Embiid got over

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the injury stuff. Zion I hope can get over the

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 2>injury stuff. But once you've been in the league for

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 2>a half decade plus, if you're injury prone, your injury prone.

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 2>And Malcolm Brogden, who's on the Celtics, is injury prone.

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Kristaps Perzingis injuries have kind of defined his NBA career.

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 2>This is why I don't believe in the Clippers. This

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 2>is why I think the Suns could be in trouble

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>at some point. You are who you are injury wise.

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 2>It's what's defined a large ports of Anthony Davis's career

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 2>that concerns me. But I get it. I get the swing. Also,

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:09.199
<v Speaker 2>it is the Celtics leaning into the identity Missoula wants.

0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:12.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's smart to let him have

0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 2>full control of the car, but is leaning into the

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 2>identity defensive secondary. We are an offensive team, and most

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 2>notably we're an offensive team that's gonna bomb threes. And

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 2>now we have a seven foot two inch Lotvian guy

0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>that is gonna bomb threes. So it's a big swing.

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.879
<v Speaker 2>If they'd have included a contract extension with it, I

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.800
<v Speaker 2>would have hated it. They didn't, so I don't hate it.

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>But do I think Chris aps Worzingis is gonna be

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 2>healthy for the playoffs? I'm not so sure about that.

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, Last, so rumors have surface that Lebron is

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 3>frustrated with Anthony Davis. Interesting timing with Draymond a free agent,

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 3>and you have the Lebron translator. So is there a

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.640
<v Speaker 3>world where he could push the Lakers to move on from.

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Ad Lebron James does not want the Lakers to move

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 2>on from Anthony.

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you would know, of course.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, call it an informed opinion, in inference. It's not

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 2>quite an inference, A little stronger than an inference. It's

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 2>a little strong.

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 3>I just defined an inference. No, you know, I'm a graduate,

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 3>now I know what I'm talking.

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I appreciate that inferring something would be.

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Taken educated guests.

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is and what I'm telling you is this

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 2>is more than that. I am trying to he spoke

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 2>to him.

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I know he knows.

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't know. Lebron's on a yacht with Maverick

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and Draymond in Europe right now. I am not I'm

0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 2>not reporting this, but I'm not blindly guessing on this. Okay,

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 2>it is an informed opinion. So with respect to Bill Ryder,

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 2>who I used to work with in Kansas City, who

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 2>got this ball rolling, Lebron is not interested in the

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Lakers trading Anthony Davis. Now, Bill Simmons keeps talking about

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Draymond going to Dallas and Lebron joining them a year

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:20.199
<v Speaker 2>from now. I think that's on the board. But this

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:24.239
<v Speaker 2>idea that that Anthony Davis coming off his best, one

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:26.639
<v Speaker 2>of the best stretches of his career, that all of

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 2>a sudden Lebron's mad at him, it's to me, it's nonsense.

0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Like the Lakers see what happens with Chris Paul. The

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Lakers are gonna bring back Austin Reeves. They're probably They're

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent bring back Austin Reeves. They're probably bringing

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 2>back RUI you have ad, you have Lebron, who I

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 2>understand everyone's waiting for the cliff to hit. And yes,

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 2>now at this point in his career. He's an injury risk,

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.399
<v Speaker 2>but he also just scored thirty points in the first

0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 2>half of a playoff game, and you know what, Hold on, scoot,

0:26:57.000 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to diora sorry for the last couple of

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 2>minutes here. Can you give your seat up to producer

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Dan for a moment? I apologize? Do you mind? I

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 2>want to share so Producer Dan. If you guys don't remember,

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 2>he's the Nuggets fan who I chastised and scolded on

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the show and in the group chat because he was

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 2>trolling me. He has now come from Los Angeles to

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 2>New York. Producer Dan, how are you? I'm good, I'm good.

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.439
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you coming wearing your yo kitch? What is

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that a sweatshirt? Jersey shirt? Jersey on? Turn the mic

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 2>a little more towards your face. There you go. These

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 2>are not the great mic stance. Let me ask you

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:40.200
<v Speaker 2>this as a Nuggets fan, and there is no wrong

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>answer here. I'm not trying to set you up here.

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 2>What was your toughest series?

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean the answer is there wasn't one, but no.

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Sure none. So here's so I understand the Sun series

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 2>went six. Was there ever a point that you thought

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the Suns could beat you, guys.

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:03.439
<v Speaker 6>No, because I thought at a certain point they were

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 6>gonna run out of gas, which is what you were

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 6>saying on First Things first the whole time.

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And so the reason I bring this up is

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 2>it's a weird thing to say. And Windors said this

0:28:12.080 --> 0:28:14.919
<v Speaker 2>on TV and everyone killed him. Because the Nuggets swept

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers. The Nuggets were clearly better than the Lakers.

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 2>I felt that of the four teams the Nuggets played,

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers gave them the best series, like and I

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:29.119
<v Speaker 2>understand again, I get that that kind of sounds outrageous

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 2>because the Suns beat them twice the Lakers beat them

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:35.480
<v Speaker 2>zero times. But to me, the Lakers Nuggets series came

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 2>game one, the Nuggets controlled the entirety of the Lakers

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 2>had a late push at the end to make it close,

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 2>almost stole it. But the other three games were in

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 2>the balance, to my opinion, for forty five minutes, and

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 2>then the Nuggets closed better in all three games. But

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I felt like, I felt like the gap between the

0:28:56.440 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets and Suns was bigger, like looking back then the

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 2>gap between the Nuggets and the Lakers, because it felt

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 2>it felt to me like the the Sun's path was well, yeah,

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Durant and Booker score ninety, then they can give you,

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, they can give you guys a

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 2>game I didn't. So I say all that in this regard.

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the question I have for you. And again

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 2>there's not a wrong answer here. Who right now this moment,

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 2>going into next season, do you view as the second

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 2>best team in the Western Conference? In the West, Yeah,

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 2>like the biggest threat. I know you probably don't feel

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 2>there is a threat.

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 6>But the I'm not like job over here, I'm not

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 6>gonna say we're finding them.

0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so let me how about let me I'm gonna

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>phrase a different way. I'm gonna give you a nuclear

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 2>scenario for you. Jokic today holds a press conference in

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Somber and said, you know what, I missed my horses

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 2>too much. I've done everything I came to do.

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 6>This is the night near that I have more frequently

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 6>than you would think.

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 2>And it's, by the way, it's obviously not going to

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:09.239
<v Speaker 2>happen now. But he is the type of guy you

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:12.400
<v Speaker 2>could see walk on the way early. I mean, he

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 2>keeps telling us how much he just tolerates playing basketball,

0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:16.480
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 6>Like I think after this contract, it's very on this

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 6>it's on the board that he's not done.

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Yea. I mean he's got like a quarter of a

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>billion left on the deal, and so you still have

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:26.680
<v Speaker 2>five years or four years whatever. Yeah, but so, but

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 2>let's just say he did it today. If he did

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 2>it today and said I'm out, who would be your

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 2>pick to win the West?

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 6>I think it's hard because so much is about to

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 6>happen even tonight, starting out the draft.

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:39.600
<v Speaker 2>But I I don't want.

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:40.760
<v Speaker 6>To say this because I know it's beeding to you.

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 6>But the Lakers I think are gonna make a move

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 6>with They're gonna get rid of Dangelo Russell. I think

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:48.080
<v Speaker 6>there's there's some steam behind the Indiana trade that they

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 6>can finally get Buddy Healed, Turner both.

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I just so this is so, this is the point

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 2>that I was trying to get at, and it's the

0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I do not think the Lakers have closed the game

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 2>on Denver. They've done nothing. I think Denver has earned

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the right to be the significant favorite. But if the

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 2>question is out West, who is the second best team?

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 2>The answer had to me has to be the Lakers

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 2>or the Suns. And I just don't think what the

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Suns don't. I don't believe in what they've done, and

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe in their ability to get the finish line.

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:27.880
<v Speaker 2>And I would then remind the audience when the Lakers

0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:31.240
<v Speaker 2>won the title and then added a few pieces that offseason,

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 2>they were considered the overwhelming favorite out West. And I

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they were the overwhelming favorite of the league

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 2>because of Milwaukee, but they were the overwhelming favorite out West,

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 2>and they looked like it for forty games, and then

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Lebron got hurt, then Ad got hurt, and the whole

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 2>thing went to hell. But in the moment, it always

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>feels like the champions going to repeat. And I'm not

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:58.239
<v Speaker 2>saying you guys won't, but in Milwaukee back correct in

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 2>the moment, if we just look back the last few champions,

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 2>when the Lakers won, it was like, oh, Lebron and

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Ad they're bigger than everyone. They're you know what I mean,

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 2>They're just gonna win. When Milwaukee won, I was like,

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought, well, they'll win three of the next four,

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. It's felt like Gianni's fully

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 2>realized everything. Golden State was a little different because they

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 2>were at the end of the run instead of the

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 2>first one, and Denver right now it feels like, well,

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna win a bunch of these and it's just hard.

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 2>And so now I do think Denver wins another title

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 2>and maybe they go back to back. I'm not sure,

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 2>but I would. I would imagine Jokic has at least

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 2>one more ring in him. But I I think the Lakers.

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 2>The reason I'm doing all this is trading Anthony Davis

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:55.120
<v Speaker 2>would be insane. It would be totally insane, for sure, Sir,

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 2>you and I friends again, I think, so there we go.

0:32:57.320 --> 0:33:00.000

<v Speaker 2>Hey guys, welcome back in episode one sixty one, and

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you something. I started drinking ag one

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 2>as a great way to start off my day. Constantly

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 2>being on the go means I don't always get the

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 2>nutrients I need, but ag one gives my body the

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 2>nutrients it craves. Ag One is a daily foundational nutritional

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 2>supplement that supports whole body health. I drink it every

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.480
<v Speaker 2>day and you just mix it with some water. It

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 2>tastes great and you feel better after doing it. All

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.919
<v Speaker 2>great athletes, of which I am not one, have one

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:11.880
<v Speaker 2>thing in common. They take care of their bodies. And

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 2>while they all start their days in different ways, I

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 2>start mine by drinking ag one to ensure a great

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 2>way to start my day. Speaking of great starts, folks

0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:25.799
<v Speaker 2>want to know this. Victor W. Minyama's going number one.

0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Scoot's gonna go two or three? It would look like

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:33.720
<v Speaker 2>he's going three. Both are amazing prospects with potentially great

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 2>careers ahead. Which one of them will get off to

0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 2>a better start this year? I think it'll be Scoot.

0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I think Scoot will play more often. I think Scoot

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 2>is has an NBA body already despite being only six

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>to two, and Scoot is crazy competitive. I will also

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 2>add one other piece to it. I think that the

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:02.040
<v Speaker 2>that other guys around the league are going to try

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:06.319
<v Speaker 2>to go after Wimby and dunk on him and do things. Now,

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 2>some of them are gonna get you know, blocked and

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 2>posterized in the other direction, but I think he'll be

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 2>targeted more than Scoot will, so in the very early

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, return to I think Scoot will get off

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.720
<v Speaker 2>to the better start. I may not have all the answers,

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:22.480
<v Speaker 2>but if a comprehensive solution is what you need from

0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:25.040

<v Speaker 2>our friends at ag one for sponsoring that little Scoot

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Wimby discussion. Diora time for a game.

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:54.879
<v Speaker 3>So we're gonna play a game of right or wrong.

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 3>The Clippers are apparently considering trading Paul George, but why

0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:01.360
<v Speaker 3>trade him and keep Kawi? Right or wrong? The Clippers

0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:02.560
<v Speaker 3>are trading the wrong guy.

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's much of a market for Kawhi, Like,

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 2>who's gonna write the story on Kawhi Leonard being just

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:18.879
<v Speaker 2>a legendarily bad teammate. Who who's gonna that? And he's

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:22.880
<v Speaker 2>obviously an excellent player when he's healthy, and everyone doesn't

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:28.239
<v Speaker 2>need to be as loquacious as what you're laughing at me.

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:30.440
<v Speaker 3>No, I would never do that.

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 2>As talkative if you'd prefer me to say that, I

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 2>think loquacious is perfect time for it, as Magic Johnson

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 2>in his prime. But Kawhi's total lack of communication the

0:36:42.719 --> 0:36:47.759
<v Speaker 2>and I mentioned this on TV yesterday, and I just

0:36:47.760 --> 0:36:51.879
<v Speaker 2>think it Warren's mentioning a couple of years ago when

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Qui tore his ACL in the playoffs, Skip Bayless, my

0:36:56.239 --> 0:37:01.000
<v Speaker 2>colleague knew that quiet Or torn a cl well before

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers did. That can't happen so at his age,

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:08.600
<v Speaker 2>with his injury history, I don't think he has a

0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 2>big trade market. I think Paul George does. Paul George

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 2>now has a bad injury history as well, but culturally

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Paul George is just a better fit for an organization

0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:24.320
<v Speaker 2>and the Clippers need to admit this was a failed

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:27.760
<v Speaker 2>attempt at a super team and probably start over next.

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of Paul George, yesterday, Future Hornets legend Brandon Miller

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:34.680
<v Speaker 3>said that the goat is at mj oor Lebron but

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Paul George, right or wrong? Get this guy a podcast

0:37:37.960 --> 0:37:39.719
<v Speaker 3>immediate too many podcasts.

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I understand the irony of me saying that do you

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 2>are a people your age? What do they mean when

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:49.879
<v Speaker 2>they say the word goat, like.

0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:53.399
<v Speaker 3>The MVP, like the number one?

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Like, but can multiple people be goats?

0:37:58.800 --> 0:37:59.800
<v Speaker 3>You can be goated?

0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:03.960
<v Speaker 2>So what does that mean for people your age?

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:07.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, Like it's just like like, oh, that's goaded,

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:10.720
<v Speaker 3>like like Jordan's are goated.

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:15.239
<v Speaker 2>You know the shoes the shoes right. So Wild's made

0:38:15.320 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 2>this point that the definition of the word goat, uh

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 2>changes by the age of the person saying and Wild's tweeted,

0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:29.160
<v Speaker 2>really old person when they say goat, they mean the

0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:34.359
<v Speaker 2>actual farm animal. It's slightly younger means the guy who

0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:37.480
<v Speaker 2>blew it like he was a goat in a bad way.

0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.879
<v Speaker 2>My age, it means the greatest of all time.

0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what it's supposed to me.

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, but younger than me, it's like there can be

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:49.760
<v Speaker 2>multiple it just means awesome.

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.799
<v Speaker 3>I can say that there can be multiple goats, but

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 3>there can be multiple things that are goated.

0:38:55.520 --> 0:39:00.719
<v Speaker 2>Goated. Yeah, young people are dumb, that's my takeaway. Like

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 2>these Jordan's are you know the so.

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Like I mean, the only people that usually use the

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 3>term goaded are like thirteen year old boy.

0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. See that's what I'm saying. Young people are dumb. Yeah,

0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 2>that's you know what thirteen year old boys, no matter

0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 2>the generation, always been dumb. Uh so eying Brandon Miller,

0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 2>who's nineteen years old, was just like he was my

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:24.359
<v Speaker 2>favorite player growing up. I think that's what he meant,

0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:24.680
<v Speaker 2>all right.

0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Next Okay, so next one is Wemby and it's and

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 3>his insane hands through a pitch through the first pitch

0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:33.960
<v Speaker 3>at Yankee.

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Do you look at that picture that's a baseball, that's

0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:41.480
<v Speaker 2>a regulation size baseball. Like that picture, it kind of

0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:45.400
<v Speaker 2>freaks you out. Young If people have never seen hold

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on I'm gonna pull this up for de York because

0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:49.279
<v Speaker 2>I bet she's never seen it. Uh, do you know

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:50.840
<v Speaker 2>who Andre the Giant was?

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:52.319
<v Speaker 3>I've heard the name.

0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he was. He was a legendary wrestler, but he

0:39:55.120 --> 0:40:01.000
<v Speaker 2>was actual giant. That picture, and hold on, you have

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:03.440
<v Speaker 2>to look at this to your this is Andre the

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Giant holding a full sized beer, so like like the

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 2>size of a can of coke, a beer can. Look

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:17.719
<v Speaker 2>at that the and so Wimby's got hands like that,

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:22.600
<v Speaker 2>they're just obviously not as Andre the Giant stubby. Yeah,

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Andre the Giant could take off his ring finger or

0:40:27.120 --> 0:40:30.400
<v Speaker 2>ring finger, sorry, his ring from his ring finger, and

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 2>you could fit a golf ball through it. So his

0:40:33.800 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 2>fingers were the circumference of golf balls. And so Wimby,

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:42.280
<v Speaker 2>So go ahead and ask the question. Sorry, because Wimby

0:40:42.480 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 2>just envelops the baseball in that picture.

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 3>It went way left.

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it was a terrible first pitch.

0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:51.360
<v Speaker 3>So right or wrong the pitch affected your opinion of Wimby.

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go wrong. I think he's obviously a great athlete.

0:40:57.880 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Throwing a baseball's hard if you don't do it often,

0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:03.600
<v Speaker 2>and thrown from the mound is hard. No, zero percent,

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 2>zero percent sixty feet six inches. First of all, I

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:11.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know that you could even get it there. Second

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 2>of all, it would you would not be able to aim.

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I had to throw out first pitch at the Royals

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 2>game once. I practiced for three hours that morning because I.

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Can't repractice a little bit before.

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Like the well, yeah, I mean it's just again, Andy's

0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:27.960
<v Speaker 2>so big, So no, I don't hold that against him,

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:28.920
<v Speaker 2>all right, next.

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Katie replied to a random tweet saying, James hard

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:35.279
<v Speaker 3>and Russell Westbrook and.

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie that's a hard one to say. Russell Westbrook because

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 2>of the rs of the Wye would go ahead.

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 3>And Kyrie Irving don't get the credit that they deserve

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 3>for inspiring a younger generation of fans. Weird, they're all

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:51.320
<v Speaker 3>free agents, right or wrong? Katie wants a fourth Superstar.

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, I think I'm sure he does. He's not

0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna get one, but I think that's why he said it.

0:41:56.960 --> 0:42:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I think he said it because Katie, Katie, he has

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 2>a real appreciation for other guys across the league, and

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:08.320
<v Speaker 2>all those guys did they do have real legacies. Harden,

0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 2>we think about the playoffs, all this, the step back

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.560
<v Speaker 2>and the euro step. He was better at those than

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 2>anyone in NBA history. Kyrie was better at the eurostep

0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:22.040
<v Speaker 2>than man it. He just was. Kyrie has the best

0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:25.719
<v Speaker 2>below the rim layup package, one of the best, one

0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:27.320
<v Speaker 2>of the top three in NBA history, and one of

0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:30.600
<v Speaker 2>the top three handles in NBA history. And Russell Westbrook

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:34.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of made the triple double cool again. So all

0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:37.000
<v Speaker 2>those guys do have unique legacies. Katies right about that?

0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Next after, Jamar Chase replied Pat Who when asked about Mahomes,

0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Travis Kelsey told him to cool it right or wrong?

0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Chiefs Begals? Is the is the best current envy? Oh

0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:54.200
<v Speaker 3>my gosh, NFL rivalry?

0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Are you okay? No? Are you doing all right this morning?

0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you need some age, maybe get your

0:43:01.080 --> 0:43:04.600
<v Speaker 2>brain popping a little bit better. You know they're right,

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:08.239
<v Speaker 2>but it won't be for long. The Bengals a bit

0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:10.359
<v Speaker 2>off more than they can chew. This Pat Who thing

0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 2>is going to fuel the Chiefs all year. Two words

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 2>have never had more of a detrimental impact on a

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 2>team's ability to win a championship than Jamar Chase foolishly

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:21.920
<v Speaker 2>saying pat who all right?

0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Next, Aaron Rodgers is speaking at the largest psychedelic conference

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:30.920
<v Speaker 3>in history in Denver this weekend. Right or wrong, We're.

0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Going, We're not going, and listen. I'm not anti psychedelics.

0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I have read the I won't no one act like

0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I've read the research papers. But I've read the articles

0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:46.279
<v Speaker 2>written by people who have read the research papers and

0:43:46.320 --> 0:43:53.439
<v Speaker 2>the testimonials that micro too sing or very regulated use

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of psychedelics can have true therapeutic effects in dealing with

0:43:59.000 --> 0:44:04.920
<v Speaker 2>trauma and pad and I believe that. I don't totally

0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:09.400
<v Speaker 2>understand it, and it scares me. I believe it. I

0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:15.440
<v Speaker 2>have no issue in theory with Rogers doing it all

0:44:15.480 --> 0:44:17.880
<v Speaker 2>of this stuff. I have an issue with the general

0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 2>media hypocrisy because I think we all know that if

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:25.360
<v Speaker 2>we're I'm just gonna be totally honest, this is gonna

0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:27.279
<v Speaker 2>get people mad. We'll get a couple of emails, we

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:30.400
<v Speaker 2>move on. This is something only a white quarterback could do.

0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't have a Lamar Jackson, couldn't be out there

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:38.279
<v Speaker 2>talking about yeah this offseason, I went and tripped my

0:44:38.880 --> 0:44:41.799
<v Speaker 2>ass off, and I look at the world differently now

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:44.960
<v Speaker 2>and then advocate for it like this is a very

0:44:45.080 --> 0:44:49.440
<v Speaker 2>clear double standard on who we do allow and don't

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:54.400
<v Speaker 2>allow to talk about drugs and experimental drug use. So

0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>it bothers me in that regard that a lot of

0:44:58.000 --> 0:45:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the same people who not that long ag go would

0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:04.759
<v Speaker 2>freak out if guys popped a positive for a marijuana test.

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Now think Aaron Rodgers traveling going on international trips with

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the sole purpose of getting high. They think it's you know, adorable.

0:45:14.960 --> 0:45:21.840
<v Speaker 2>But I am not a teetotaler. I'm not anti drugs,

0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:26.520
<v Speaker 2>especially drugs in this form that are that do have

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 2>some true, naturally therapeutic and healing benefits. Quick break right Back, will.

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Trade Welcome Back, Episode one sixty one, and now we're

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 3>going to read the fan questions. Skeeter Andrews asked with

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Marcus Smart and JJJ Triple J.

0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Jared Jackson Jr.

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Triple J. Are the Grizzlies the best defensive team

0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 3>in the league?

0:45:56.239 --> 0:45:59.400
<v Speaker 2>They certainly could be. I mean, they have plus defenders

0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:01.839
<v Speaker 2>all over the place. Now they are losing Dylan Brooks, who,

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:06.040
<v Speaker 2>for all his limitations, was a good defender. They could be.

0:46:06.160 --> 0:46:11.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't I a locked in motivated angry Milwaukee team

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:16.640
<v Speaker 2>is probably gonna be my pick there for best defensive team.

0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:18.359
<v Speaker 2>But we got to see Middleton just opted out. I'm

0:46:18.360 --> 0:46:21.719
<v Speaker 2>sure they're gonna bring him back, but uh, they're on

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:23.759
<v Speaker 2>the short list. Yeah, all right, Next, this is a

0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:24.279
<v Speaker 2>tough name.

0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Devache Goel asked, Nick, are you do you think that

0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:34.960
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics will have a leadership issue now that Smart

0:46:34.960 --> 0:46:35.480
<v Speaker 3>has left?

0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:39.040
<v Speaker 2>It's on the board. I listen, this is Jason Tatum's

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:41.440
<v Speaker 2>gotta step up. There's a lot of things that Jason Tatum,

0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:44.080
<v Speaker 2>he's a great player, but that he has to improve

0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:46.160
<v Speaker 2>on if they're gonna get over the hump. And I

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:52.480
<v Speaker 2>don't think Marcus Smart. I I respect his leadership, but

0:46:52.560 --> 0:46:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I think they needed a new voice there, and I

0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 2>think it's got to be Tatum's next.

0:46:56.520 --> 0:47:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay. William Turnbull asked question for Nick. Besides Mahomes going down, Oh, let's.

0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Do big Let's do big cam first, Big Cam eighty seven?

0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:09.879
<v Speaker 3>Okay, big Cam eighty seven? Ass Nick, where would the

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:13.160
<v Speaker 3>best landing spot be for Paul George if he is traded?

0:47:13.680 --> 0:47:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Listen, Paul George fits a lot of places. Paul George

0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:20.040
<v Speaker 2>is very good player, He's low maintenance. He can't. If

0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:23.720
<v Speaker 2>he's your number one, you're screwed. If he's your number two,

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:30.560
<v Speaker 2>you need you need either a really good roster around

0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 2>him or an excellent number one. Uh. I'm trying to

0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:40.040
<v Speaker 2>think of like a plug and play spot for Paul

0:47:40.160 --> 0:47:47.360
<v Speaker 2>George that makes a ton of sense. I'll be listen.

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Lebron wanted to play with him years ago. Obviously that

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 2>would fit, but the Lakers can't get him. I think

0:47:52.239 --> 0:47:55.520
<v Speaker 2>he would be really good for Miami if they end

0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:58.800
<v Speaker 2>up missing out on Dame and Paul George and Jimmy

0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:01.080
<v Speaker 2>is the you know, kind of what they were hoping

0:48:01.160 --> 0:48:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi and Paul George could have been. That one's interesting.

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I think he'd be really good with Philly. I. Boston

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:13.200
<v Speaker 2>obviously can't get him, and they don't need him at

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the I mean, you could trade Jalen Brown. They're not

0:48:14.880 --> 0:48:19.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna do that. Uh, trying to think of other places

0:48:20.480 --> 0:48:23.399
<v Speaker 2>that make a lot of sense. I don't know. I'll

0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:26.960
<v Speaker 2>tell you one that no, that and I don't know.

0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:30.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they could make this work, but that

0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:35.160
<v Speaker 2>would instantly turn them into one of the more interesting teams.

0:48:35.239 --> 0:48:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Daniels shaking his head. Oh, you say the MAVs. No,

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 2>it would be great with you. He'd be great for

0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:43.319
<v Speaker 2>the maps, great for the MAVs. It'd be just the

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:47.960
<v Speaker 2>guy you'd want alongside Luca. Uh, but they don't. That's

0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:52.120
<v Speaker 2>that's not the one. Sacramento would be fun because you

0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:58.759
<v Speaker 2>have you have your the homeless Man's Jokic in Sabonis. Yeah,

0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:02.279
<v Speaker 2>and that like that is like that. The people got

0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:05.480
<v Speaker 2>mad at me because a few weeks ago somebody said,

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:08.759
<v Speaker 2>like Jokic transformed to the game or something, and I

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:10.600
<v Speaker 2>just made the born. I was like, there's someone in

0:49:10.640 --> 0:49:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the league that plays just like him. There's just worse

0:49:13.000 --> 0:49:17.200
<v Speaker 2>than him and everything in Sabonis. But it's the stylistically,

0:49:17.680 --> 0:49:21.400
<v Speaker 2>they're the same guy trying to do the same things.

0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:25.840
<v Speaker 2>But people, first of all, didn't watch Sabonis ever in

0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:28.480
<v Speaker 2>his career until this playoff series where he was terrible.

0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:31.239
<v Speaker 2>He's way better than that. But and he's, you know,

0:49:31.719 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 2>forty percent of the player Yokich's, but he's the same mindset.

0:49:34.800 --> 0:49:36.560
<v Speaker 2>But you have that kind of do it all center.

0:49:36.800 --> 0:49:39.800
<v Speaker 2>You have your point guard in Fox, a great wing

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to like replace Harrison Barnes minutes. Something would be great there.

0:49:43.760 --> 0:49:45.279
<v Speaker 2>The map would be awesome, as well. All right, are

0:49:45.320 --> 0:49:47.520
<v Speaker 2>you making fun of my hands? Right now? All right?

0:49:47.520 --> 0:49:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Next, William Turnabull asked question for Nick. Besides Mahomes going down.

0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Look, how dare you go ahead?

0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:56.879
<v Speaker 3>What could be the reason the Chiefs don't repeat as much?

0:49:56.920 --> 0:49:59.960
<v Speaker 2>That's hard man, single elimination tournament. I mean, there's a

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:04.439
<v Speaker 2>reason that nobody's repeated since the Patriots and three h four.

0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:10.319
<v Speaker 2>But the biggest reason would be other than Mahomes going

0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 2>down is and I hate to even say this, but

0:50:13.440 --> 0:50:19.919
<v Speaker 2>if Age finally gets Kelsey, I mean Kelsey is thirty three,

0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:22.239
<v Speaker 2>which for thirty four. Maybe this point, which for a

0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:27.920
<v Speaker 2>tight end, is ancient, and so I don't see. Uh.

0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:32.400
<v Speaker 2>If Mahomes is healthy, I think the defense will be better,

0:50:32.520 --> 0:50:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Like it would be that the receivers don't pop, and

0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey regresses that would be the reason. All right.

0:50:39.640 --> 0:50:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Last, Baba one one seven one asks Diorra, has your

0:50:44.400 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 3>dad let you drive the new car yet? Or anyone

0:50:46.640 --> 0:50:50.760
<v Speaker 3>of the family you see, since I'm supposedly part owner

0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:52.520
<v Speaker 3>of the car, but I haven't.

0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Been, how are you supposedly part owner of the car?

0:50:56.520 --> 0:50:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Who told you that?

0:50:57.520 --> 0:50:59.759
<v Speaker 3>In my cover? We said that we tell people it was.

0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Mike oh yeah, sorry, my bad. All right, we'll fix

0:51:03.880 --> 0:51:07.959
<v Speaker 2>that and postmm no doors yet to drive the car?

0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Can you tell the audience about when I got the

0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:14.520
<v Speaker 2>car what you did with your friends group chat. Oh.

0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:17.440
<v Speaker 3>I took a picture of it and I put to

0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 3>the song. I put a song over it and sent

0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:24.480
<v Speaker 3>it to my friends. I posted on my private story

0:51:24.520 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 3>first and then I sent it to my friends and

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:29.040
<v Speaker 3>all my friends are like your dream.

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Car, And it was, but it was the context was

0:51:31.600 --> 0:51:35.520
<v Speaker 2>that it was her graduation present. Yeah, which oddly it

0:51:35.840 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 2>was your graduation present to me because from me to me.

0:51:41.680 --> 0:51:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Because the money that I was spending on your high

0:51:45.960 --> 0:51:49.600
<v Speaker 2>school tuition, I then just transferred that to my new car.

0:51:50.080 --> 0:51:51.520
<v Speaker 2>And I don't have to, you know, one less high

0:51:51.560 --> 0:51:54.240
<v Speaker 2>school tuition to pay for get the new car.

0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:56.239
<v Speaker 3>The worst part is is I was supposed to get

0:51:56.280 --> 0:51:58.200
<v Speaker 3>the old car, but it broke down too much.

0:51:58.280 --> 0:52:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, but now you've you know, we've been I've

0:52:03.320 --> 0:52:04.320
<v Speaker 2>been doing my research.

0:52:04.440 --> 0:52:05.480
<v Speaker 3>I want an old car.

0:52:06.080 --> 0:52:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what did you?

0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:09.000
<v Speaker 3>But he won't let me get in the old car. No,

0:52:09.040 --> 0:52:10.040
<v Speaker 3>because they don't have.

0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Like airbags, yeah, and safety features.

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Well yes, but like the old cars are the best cars.

0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Well sure, in some ways, but they're yeah, that's fine.

0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh like the old like broncos. Those are so that's.

0:52:24.719 --> 0:52:27.840
<v Speaker 2>What your mom wanted. So your mom wanted a nineteen

0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:30.320
<v Speaker 2>seventy nine land Cruiser.

0:52:30.560 --> 0:52:32.439
<v Speaker 3>And use there's so cute.

0:52:32.880 --> 0:52:35.200
<v Speaker 2>No, and the yeah, your mom wanted one of those

0:52:35.239 --> 0:52:38.120
<v Speaker 2>as well. Yeah, you know, this was my turn, my

0:52:38.239 --> 0:52:41.880
<v Speaker 2>turn for a car. Your college graduation present could be

0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:42.920
<v Speaker 2>a nice little.

0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:48.600
<v Speaker 3>I thought we agreed a little earlier than that. Don't

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.440
<v Speaker 3>switch up on me on Live right.

0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Now after your what did I say after your second

0:52:54.800 --> 0:52:58.080
<v Speaker 2>year of college? Then you're switching it up for me?

0:52:58.400 --> 0:52:59.080
<v Speaker 2>What did I say?

0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:02.359
<v Speaker 3>We said it after my freshman year? I can get

0:53:02.360 --> 0:53:02.640
<v Speaker 3>a car.

0:53:02.760 --> 0:53:06.359
<v Speaker 2>There was not like a yeah could I mean you

0:53:06.440 --> 0:53:08.319
<v Speaker 2>could go to the moon one day. There's a lot

0:53:08.320 --> 0:53:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of things you couldn't. I couldn't a lot of things

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you could do. We'll see. By the way, Ian Bagley reporting,

0:53:15.880 --> 0:53:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the Knicks and the Clippers have had contact about Paul George.

0:53:19.840 --> 0:53:23.520
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. I don't think that the problem. This is

0:53:23.520 --> 0:53:26.440
<v Speaker 2>what I'm the Knicks fans. I'm sorry, I love you,

0:53:26.719 --> 0:53:28.560
<v Speaker 2>but this is what I mean when I say, if

0:53:28.600 --> 0:53:31.239
<v Speaker 2>he can't be your number one, and if he's your

0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:34.760
<v Speaker 2>number two. Your number one's gotta be awesome. Jallen Brunson's

0:53:34.800 --> 0:53:37.840
<v Speaker 2>really good, but Jaylen Brunson Paul George's two best players.

0:53:38.239 --> 0:53:42.320
<v Speaker 2>There's a ceiling. Those other teams we mentioned have a

0:53:42.400 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 2>higher upside. All right, really good show, High five, Hi five.

0:53:47.560 --> 0:53:50.919
