Speaker 1: Brake was breaking down all the biggest NBA storylines, So
Speaker 1: the heat Check. The Heat Check was just a crank,
Speaker 1: the best podcast covering all the drama around the association.
Speaker 2: Moving on, it's been a couple of months since we've
Speaker 2: thought about Draymond gram and he's grabbed the headlines.
Speaker 3: So you knew that it was time.
Speaker 2: It was time for Draymont popping his head out of
Speaker 2: the woodwork.
Speaker 3: And here it is.
Speaker 2: It is now Ome Young Music's time to produce a
Speaker 2: Ramona showburn like deep dive, and there's lots of tea spilling.
Speaker 2: Last season, as we know, could not have started worse
Speaker 2: for Dramon Punches, Jordan Poole gets the whole TNT sort
Speaker 2: of comeback story, and then the entire seasons off the rails.
Speaker 2: Golden State gets bounced by the Lakers, lots of speculation
Speaker 2: about his future, and yet, like we know, because he's
Speaker 2: Steph's guy and he's important to the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3: He ends up signing one hundred million dollar extension and
Speaker 3: now those.
Speaker 2: Questions are quote unquote put to bed. But then the
Speaker 2: Warriors went out and they did the unthinkable. They got
Speaker 2: Chris Paul. As we know Draymond Green has been on
Speaker 2: record about how much he hates Chris Paul, and now
Speaker 2: Draymond is determined to wipe the slate clean, to do
Speaker 2: and say the right things. He said, I can look
Speaker 2: at this year as one of the most important years
Speaker 2: of my career, and it's not to redeem anything about Draymond, Okay.
Speaker 2: My goal is that we can help Chris Paul get
Speaker 2: his first championship, the guy that you hated. Now it
Speaker 2: is your life's mission to help out his career and
Speaker 2: his reputation.
Speaker 3: That is a lie.
Speaker 2: New GM gun Levy met with both of these guys
Speaker 2: before signing off on the deal because he knew, like
Speaker 2: what we knew is.
Speaker 3: That the two guys can't hate stand each other.
Speaker 2: They hate each other, and that's funny because the Holy
Speaker 2: really can't stand them up right, But apparently they've now
Speaker 2: come to Jesus. They have had a somewhat of a
Speaker 2: peace agreement like the US and Russia and the Cold War,
Speaker 2: and according to om Young Music, after the trade in
Speaker 2: late June, Green said that he and Chris Paul touched
Speaker 2: base briefly before giving each other space and time to
Speaker 2: digest everything, but they have since had a face to
Speaker 2: face and phone conversations. Listening to Green talk about all
Speaker 2: the things that used to drive him wild about Chris
Speaker 2: Paul is almost like carrying an opponent. Describe what it's
Speaker 2: like to battle Green in the playoffs. Yeah, it's like seeing.
Speaker 3: A smaller, older, more wily veteran be just like you.
Speaker 2: They are a match in heaven two world class pass
Speaker 2: with the history of animosity now best piece.
Speaker 3: Hmm, We're gonna see about that especially.
Speaker 2: I think the thing that's the most interesting and the
Speaker 2: most we'll call it up in the air, is that
Speaker 2: the offense normally runs through Draymond, and with Chris Paul,
Speaker 2: the offense normally runs through him. Who is going to
Speaker 2: capitulate and defer to whom? He said, after getting over
Speaker 2: the hump of being in the same room without killing
Speaker 2: each other, there's gonna be another hump of actually playing together.
Speaker 2: But it's gonna take some getting used to. Yes, both
Speaker 2: focal points of the offense. To me, that feels like
Speaker 2: maybe Draymond comes off the bench Chris Paul. Now the
Speaker 2: rumors are that he's going to be starting. Who is
Speaker 2: going to be out of the starting spot.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be Wiggins, probably not gonna be Looney,
Speaker 3: definitely not gonna be Stephand Clay.
Speaker 2: That means Draymond Green is the odd man out unless
Speaker 2: they allow six starting five players. Green says that it's
Speaker 2: the most important season of his career. He's trying to
Speaker 2: position this now well as some kind of redemption. Chris
Speaker 2: Paul also looking for redemption, and there's only one way
Speaker 2: that they can find it, and that's by winning a
Speaker 2: championship together, kissing and making up and giving each other
Speaker 2: praise about how they couldn't accomplish it without the other one.
Speaker 3: And dray now thinks this roster, which is wild, has
Speaker 3: the chance to win two more championships.
Speaker 2: He wants to match Jordan, and he thinks that that's
Speaker 2: not out of the realm the possibilities.
Speaker 3: Guys, I am dubious. I am skeptical. I do not
Speaker 3: know about that one because I.
Speaker 2: Have no idea how they beat the Lakers. I have
Speaker 2: no idea how they beat the Grizzlies. Maybe they do,
Speaker 2: and I certainly have no idea how they beat the
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets. But hold on to your hats on this
Speaker 2: one if they fall short again. Shocking to think about
Speaker 2: a team bounce in the second round of the playoffs
Speaker 2: in six, by the way, by a team led by
Speaker 2: someone older than me, a four year old, Chris Paul's
Speaker 2: reputation for not being able to win the Big One
Speaker 2: will be further solidified. And then the belief that maybe,
Speaker 2: just maybe Draymond destroyed both timelines of the Dynasty, and
Speaker 2: maybe just maybe people are starting to worry about Steve
Speaker 2: kirktu that will be hard to refute. Once again, all
Speaker 2: eyes are on our Dubs and the pressure is on.
Speaker 2: If you're a lifelong Dubs fan like me, your hopes
Speaker 2: lay in the hands of Chris Paul's fragile hamstring, Clay's
Speaker 2: ability to return to pre surgery Clay, and Draymond keeping
Speaker 2: his cool when he has to come off the bench.
Speaker 2: I just don't know about that.
Speaker 3: Moving on, There's just.
Speaker 2: One thing I like more than an NBA superstar beefing
Speaker 2: on the internets, and that is an obscure NBA player
Speaker 2: beefing on the internets. Welcome to the Kai Jones experience.
Speaker 2: If you are a casual fan, you might not know
Speaker 2: Kai Jones other than the fact that he has Dennis
Speaker 2: Robin like hair, blue purple chain. Every week started with
Speaker 2: the random ig live where Kai Jones appears to be random,
Speaker 2: how shall we say, unable to operate heavy machinery. He
Speaker 2: repeated how the Hornets were not going to trade him.
Speaker 2: He said this, if I get that call on my phone,
Speaker 2: I will have my buye.
Speaker 3: But I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.
Speaker 2: What a strong sense of job security for a guy
Speaker 2: who has played sixty seven games in two seasons and
Speaker 2: he averages eight minutes and three points.
Speaker 3: What does he have on Mitch kupcheck? What does he
Speaker 3: have on someone?
Speaker 2: But it was how he was acting that attracted all
Speaker 2: the attention. The profuse sweating, the jerky dancing, the slur speech,
Speaker 2: all of it was a little strange. Some viewers observed
Speaker 2: Jones's weird behavior during the live stream, including the dancing, sweating,
Speaker 2: and the unclear speech.
Speaker 3: But do not worry. He was not under the influence.
Speaker 3: How do we know that he was not under the influence.
Speaker 2: He told us he was not under the influence, and
Speaker 2: that is what Kai Jones said on Twitter. He says,
Speaker 2: I was not on drugs or intoxicated. I was enjoying
Speaker 2: my night in my crib. Y'all bugging hashtag, goat life
Speaker 2: one hundred emoji heart emoji, a butterfly emoji, goat emoji
Speaker 2: case closed.
Speaker 3: Kai Jones sweating, jerking around, dancing, sweating, not intoxicated, just hot.
Speaker 3: Just probably his air conditioning ran out. That was what
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 2: But hey, his actions later are really indicative of a
Speaker 2: guy who has it all together, because less than a
Speaker 2: week later, he randomly came after his own teammates Mark
Speaker 2: Williams by commenting commenting on social media, Hey, show me
Speaker 2: a video of Mark pulling up, going left and hitting
Speaker 2: it anywhere man in college? Show me where, to which
Speaker 2: Mark Williams risked responded with a video of fifty cent
Speaker 2: holding his own chest crying.
Speaker 3: So yeah, kai Jones acting crazy on IG Live.
Speaker 2: The coming after the guy who took your job sounds
Speaker 2: like the NBA is almost back.
