Speaker 1: assists to go along with eight rebounds from Kay Cunningham,

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,480

00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: to eleven to complete the regular season's sweep. The Pistons

Speaker 1: average margin of victory and their three wins with point

28
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: brou with New York losing by thirty one and thirty

00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: eight in the first two.

30
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 3: Meets definition A belt. That's bad as belt to as

31
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: like the definite. That's unacceptable, Bro, that is unacceptable, especially

32
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: this one. Okay, Cat was out, Og was out, a

33
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: couple other ones, but even Dura was out. Something like

34
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: bodies is out?

35
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: Bro?

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 3: What right after the break, y'all get smacked at home?

37
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

38
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: With their two best defensive rebounding players off the court. Yeah,

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: come on, Bro, I had New York as my favorite comouties.

40
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 3: After this, it's shaky, Bro. They better hope they don't

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: see Detroit in the playoffs because Kate cunning seeing neck

42
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: jersey he is taking, He's pulling out multiple belts.

43
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's uh. He was incredible tonight.

44
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: Paul, what do you think about the Knicks not being

45
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: able to make a statement against this young up and

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: coming squad.

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: I mean, let's gonna definitely have a psychological effect on

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: them if it comes playoff time, because like, now, what

49
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: do you get from these three When you go in

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs, you usually look at how you played the

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: team in the regular season, and you're gonna be like,

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: we're not getting anything from this.

53
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: What can they learn from it? Right?

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 5: Can they learn?

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: They're not They're not even watching the film on this,

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: Like the next day, we ain't gonna watch all three games.

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: You know, with them games, You're just like, nah, we can't.

58
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: We gotta flush that.

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 5: We're gonna have to flush this all three games.

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 2: So now, like I was talking to you earlier, they're

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: gonna have to or I was talking to Chris, we

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: were saying, like they're gonna have to look at a

63
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: team that Detroit struggled against and say, this is the

64
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: way we gotta play. You're gonna try to emulate that,

65
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: but that's not your game obviously. So I just don't

66
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: know how how the Knicks can get past Detroit in

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: a playoff series.

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: If Detroit is healthy.

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: They like the okay, see the East bro.

70
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: I mean I'm not saying that yet.

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: Like that, like Okay, see to like, it's just one

72
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: of those teams they just about the East. But if

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: they match up with Detroit, I'm like, man, I'm not

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: as common.

75
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: This is the thing.

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: I was with the Celtics in two thousand and two

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: and we have beat the Nets, who is the number

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: one team in the East, three times, I believe. I

80
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: know we won the season series, and I'm thinking that.

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: Now we got them in the playoffs in the conference finals.

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh yeah, we going to the Chip. So

83
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: what I'm saying and we wind up losing that series

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: and six. So what I'm saying is just because you

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: beat them in the regular season doesn't equal post season

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: for success. So you know, it is what it is now.

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: They won, they won the three battles. Now when the war,

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: let's see who.

89
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: Wins the war.

90
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: I'm saying they won it handedly too. So like if

91
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: Detroit they match up East Conference finals and Detroit loses that,

92
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: I'm saying they shipped the bed. Something happened.

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: You can't think favorite against.

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: This team, against this team, against the Knicks, you not

95
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: beat like I under stay it was close games. I'm like,

96
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: all right, it's just regular season they are whipping ass

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: out there, Like what I'm saying, Like you are beating

98
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: the dog shit out of them. Like if you if

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: it's a complete against this team in the playoffs, what

100
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: the hell went wrong?

101
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 4: Well?

102
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: Look, I watched this game from front to back, and

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: the Knicks started off one of fourteen from three, couldn't

104
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: make a shot, and you know, the game was mostly

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: competitive until the Pistons kind of blew it open in

106
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: the beginning of the fourth quarter. And to me, I

107
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: just think their defense was just unacceptable, just unacceptably bad

108
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: in the sense that Detroit just never looked uncomfortable at

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: any point in this game. Cade got wherever he went,

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: wanted to, whenever he wanted to, and whenever the Knicks

111
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: did send to help, it was just coming from obvious

112
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: places and he was just picking them apart.

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 4: But what I will say.

114
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: About Detroit in a playoff setting, their offense isn't this good.

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: You know, they do lack secondary ball handling, they do

116
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: lack shooting. They're not going to be a hard team

117
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: to scout in terms of you need to load up

118
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: on Cad, you need to force these other guys to

119
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: put you need to make Tobias Harrison dribbler.

120
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: You need to like it sounds easy till you have

121
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: to do it if you don't have the personnel to

122
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 3: do it. I think the Knicks their offense looks good

123
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: against it because I think there's a chip on their

124
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: should especially with Kay Cunningham and starts there.

125
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 4: I hear that.

126
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: I think the the personnel to make Detroit not look

127
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: like the best offense in the NBA for sure. Maybe

128
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: that's a crazy thing to say, but that's just no.

129
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: They should better, they should play better. I'm looking at it.

130
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: Turnovers wasn't that big of a differential, Rebounds wasn't that

131
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: big of a differential. Three was a little bit like,

132
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

133
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: Man, he just generated way easier looks.

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: That's like if you watch the flow of the game,

135
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: like everything was in the flow, and then you know

136
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: they were times with the Knicks kind of forced k

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: to take a stuff, a tough, crazy step back after

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of dribbles.

139
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: And he made it like.

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Detroit played incredible tonight. It's not like they were mediocre

141
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and won this game. I just think the Knicks, like,

142
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: if you're looking at your defense against this Detroit offense

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: in a game that you felt like you were supposed

144
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: to win not being able to come up with more

145
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: stops than they did.

146
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: Paul, I think is that's.

147
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 5: Concerned even with the regular season the way it went.

148
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: I still I'm not confident in the Detroit Detroit.

149
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: Beating the Knicks in the playoff series because if they meet,

150
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to meet in the conference finals.

151
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: Right, Like the.

152
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: Guys light let me tell you that that's the only light.

153
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: I think that's like we saw the like we saw

154
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: in the three point contest Conker Nipple, right them lights.

155
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: When them lights get brighter, it's like, Dann, you forget

156
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: some things, like like you need some stuff at home,

157
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: you know.

158
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: So I'm like, damn. When they go in that locker

159
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: room right now.

160
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Detroit, after every game, they probably got like four or

161
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: five reporters. When you get to the conference finals, you

162
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: have a thousand requests.

163
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: People gonna have a medium vatament. It's gonna be hell

164
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: of bright lights.

165
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: You you can get overwhelmed as a young dude, and

166
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: then you come out and it's gonna be Spike Lee,

167
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be all these.

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 5: Stars right there.

169
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: You can get overwhelmed. I'm telling you as a young dude,

170
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: you can get wide eyed. And so that's what I'm saying,

171
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: especially you gonna be tired, somebody gonna have some type

172
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: of a knee bruise, thigh bruise when you get and

173
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: you gotta be mentally in that zone, like it's a

174
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: different round when you get to that conference finals because

175
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: now more pressure.

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: These games. Ain't got no pressure on it. What so

177
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: every house money you already beat. You know what I mean,

178
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: if it happens tonight is gravy.

179
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I wouldn't. I'm not still sold on the

180
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: Detroit beating the Knicks in the playoffs.

181
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: I said, if Detroit has to get there, so their

182
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: experienced still lacking. So I give a slight edge to

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: New York, but I think it'll goes seven games. And

184
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's shaky because you just never know

185
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: how New York gone Nick and they might ship the

186
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: bed like when they when they got to the Eastern

187
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: Consce finals last year, like, oh we're going to the finals,

188
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: we play Indiana. Don't let them Detroit boys get some confidence.

189
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: Indiana was a better team than the Nicks last year.

190
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: They say that now they wouldn't say that going into

191
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: the fuck.

192
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: They got the beat up though, I'm just saying.

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: Like they're not.

194
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: They was not saying that going into the before the

195
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: round started.

196
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: But they lost to a team that was better than them.

197
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: And guess what, Detroit might be better than them too.

198
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: When I hear you, come on, bro, that's not the

199
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: conversation was.

200
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like all of this regular season stuff,

201
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: like it's hard to get super excited about.

202
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I'm not as confident in the Knicks

203
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: as I was as favorites coming out of the East

204
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: with this performance, he said, defensively. And that's just that.

205
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: Could be another matchup who they played against whoever in

206
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs. It could be Philly, it could be Cleveland,

207
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 3: it could be somebody else. Could be.

208
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 5: Back.

209
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: The way this season has gone for Detroit, they really

210
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: ain't had to deal with no adversity, No what's gonna

211
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: happen in the playoffs? Win, You look up and you

212
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: say you down to one in a series, versity hit,

213
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: how do you handle that?

214
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

215
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, think about all of those games Okac had,

216
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: who we all accept as a much better team than Detroit.

217
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Think about all the games they had against Denver and

218
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: against in the finals weren't falling like it went through

219
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: And I think they were way more talented offensive team

220
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: than Detroit is. So that's why it's like, I'm not

221
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna jump out the window with Detroit. I just think

222
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: if you're the Knicks, when you look at yourself in

223
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: the mirror for the next few weeks, know that you're

224
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: not looking at an NBA championship quality team.

225
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 4: Maybe in a few weeks you'll get there.

226
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: That's to me and your consistency, But like, you can't

227
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: look at yourself in the mirror say I'm a quality

228
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: contender NBA because.

229
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: You're not broy after all starts, So okay, we'll give

230
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: them a little bit, but they better start trending in

231
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 3: a better direction.

232
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: Came back from the Bahamas, got.

233
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: Four season less. Yeah this last four. Were blaming this

234
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: on Turks any better blameing on something because I'm not.

235
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: I'm thinking it's unacceptable. I mean, I said, have a loss,

236
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: told be different, but getting clapped up the average marginist

237
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: then at thirty.

238
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: Clocks they did.

239
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: It was Denzel training probably last night when he sprayed

240
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: up Sonny. That's what happened this season again, like.

241
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: What like if they lost about like eight turn like

242
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: and you know, listen, you know they beat you twice,

243
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: like this is a statement game, and they got their

244
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: guys out, so like they didn't.

245
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: They didn't meet the moment was more action in the association.

246
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: Another game that a lot of people were anticipating, which

247
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: is the Rockets against the Charlotte Hornets.

248
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: La Mellow ended up playing this one.

249
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: Had this one being an upset. I thought they would

250
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: upset them, like well, I mean they played well the game,

251
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 3: especially without the two guys.

252
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: But mellow ball ended up playing, even though he crashed

253
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: his whip today.

254
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: Crazy that happened. Oh, it happens. It happened, Like, yes, maybe.

255
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 4: Played thirty one minutes. Not his best game eleven seven

256
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: and seven.

257
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: The Rockets looked pretty good KD thirty five and eight.

258
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: Hooping. Now, he's surprisingly been healthy most of the se

259
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: more part of the season, the whole season, Mellow you

260
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 3: can talk mentally, he's probably trying to get over that

261
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: the accident, you know what I'm saying, So yesterday so

262
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: like coming back from that. But you know, Katie has

263
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: been hooping. He's pretty much been the only consistent one

264
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: from them.

265
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 4: So you're saying he had to recover from swerving and

266
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 4: been there the corner.

267
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he got it. It's gonna take some time mentally,

268
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: He's probably not like in a comfortable space, you know

269
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, probably dealing with something whoa legal issues?

270
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: That one the hard social media on his head right now.

271
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rockets, I think a great win coming out of

272
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: the break. This is a young team that's been surging.

273
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Uh As Chris pulls up footage of lamellow ball.

274
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: Crazy and it's custom Hummer.

275
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: The tire flew off, which is crazy. It looked like

276
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: a damn batman bo bill when I sorry for one

277
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what kind of should is right there?

278
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: He's coming out of the city.

279
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: That's scary, man.

280
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: But the other angles showed the tire pop right, I'm like, damn,

281
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: how the.

282
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Hell that So this guy's making a left hand turn

283
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: and Lamello's just going straight through the light.

284
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: You got just going to the opposite directions. Yeah, but

285
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: why nobody's turning. Nobody's turn to get the other thing

286
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: to each other. That mellow swerved into.

287
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 5: The other lane.

288
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: I think that's he swerved.

289
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: He must have been looking at his phone or something.

290
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: He just swerved.

291
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: Look he's going straight.

292
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 5: Mellow. Oh yeah, he got in the wrong lane.

293
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy.

294
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: And then that tire popped right up off look, and

295
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: that's a hummer is supposed to be.

296

Speaker 5: I'm yeah.

302
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 4: I'm yeah.

303
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: Probably you probably ain't think you're gonna turn that wide.

304
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: Crazy.

305
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably don't think he's gonna turn that wide. I

306
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: mean everybody involved, man, we hope everybody is safe, and

307
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: I mean Mello. Obviously it seems to be finally played,

308
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: played thirty minutes, but we hope the other parts are

309
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: involved are safe and healthy.

310
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad everybody came out unscathed. You know, I was.

311
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: I was doing this the Basketball Illuminati podcast with my

312
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: guy Zach Harper and Molde Quille, and they were asking

313
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: me which one of these teams between Charlotte and Houston

314
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: was more likely to get the rail by off court stuff,

315
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: And I think with Charlotte it's the off court stuff

316
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: is really.

317
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,720

Speaker 4: Out, Oh, I forgot about this kid.

327
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about, right, Chris, I'm trying

328
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: to remember his name. It's like Kai or kid. He

00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: had a colorful afro, was athletic, he thought he was.

330
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: And then he started talking about Mike on his tiktoks

331
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: and you know, Jordan A's gonna wave cut.

332
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 5: Me or something.

333
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: Oh that's crazy.

334
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've had so They've had a long history of

335
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: guys having off court situations. You know, the KD stuff

336
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: over All Star Weekend with alleged burner accounts on Twitter

337
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: where he's allegedly dissing teammates, Kai Jones allegedly dissing teammates

338
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: in Twitter group chat s, which again I throw my

339
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: hands up, Paul, I would love to get your thoughts

340
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: and like, do you think that kind of thing really

341
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: hurts the locker room?

342
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: Well, it can definitely. You know, uh, you know when

343
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: things go bad, it go real bad. You know, say

344
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: they're going to losing streak, and then that's when the

345
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: whispers become loud. But like if you're winning, a lot

346
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: of stuff is kept quiet, truthfully. And then you know,

347
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: out of the two franchise, it's more likely with Houston

348
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: because they're a bigger market than Charlotte. You know, it's

349
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: probably thousands of things that's going to Charlotte. We just

350
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: don't kept local, you know, because they're not a big market.

351
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: You know, if it's in Houston, something happens in Houston

352
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: with the superstar like Durant, it's gonna be big news.

353
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: Like so you know, hopefully they'll get past it because

354
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: I think they just their young team and they respect Durant.

355
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 5: Even if he.

356
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: Said that, he can go in there and just be like,

357
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: you know what, that was my people's my bad and

358
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: they'll get over it because that's KD. So what I

359
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: said it, Well, it's showed me something different, show.

360
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 4: Like it's the most important thing, absolutely.

361
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: And then I look at the other guys who we

362
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: talk about y'all, y'all really ain't stepping up. Why I

363
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 2: gotta be thirty seven and still doing this. I'm supposed

364
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: to be leaning on y'all until the playoffs, like come

365
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: on dog again.

366
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: I could, I agree, but I highly I said, this

367
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: type of shit happens all the time, not all the

368
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: time in this sense, but there's always gonna be murmurs.

369
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 3: There is always gonna be rumors and people talking ship

370
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: whether it's in the family room, they hear it, and

371
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 3: I would like to I'm say, like the thing, but

372
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: I I would bet some money that Katie's probably said

373
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: these things to some of these guys face to face.

374
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: At some point, a lot of people were saying that, like,

375
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: I'm sure Kad hasn't told these people to He's not.

376
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 3: He don't seem like the t all that type of thing.

377
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: You might be a little saying say it a little slow,

378
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: like you might be a little you know what I'm saying,

379
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 3: like certain things he might say he shouldn't say it.

380
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: This is funny, But I started holding Steph for con

381
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: the Booming film, and niggas looked at me like.

382
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: Some of the stuff was like it was a little smaller.

383
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: Me was crazy?

384
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: So can we can we listen to what KD said

385
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: when he addressed it, Yeah, he addressed it.

386
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 6: I know you gotta ask these questions, but I'm not

387
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 6: here to get into Twitter nonsense, simps.

388
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 4: Here to focus on the season, keep it pushing.

389
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 6: But I know I get you gotta answer these questions.

390
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 6: My teams know this. We've been locking the whole season.

391
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 6: Jolie got break, had great practiced today, looking forward to

392
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 6: the road.

393
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: Shut it down, broid, I've been in the like notice.

394
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: Talking you notice always remember this when a public person

395
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: gets in trouble for something or something is alleged, no denial.

396
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: Always always notice the non denial denial.

397
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 4: He never said it wasn't me. I think about that.

398
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 4: So just I just want people to just think about.

399
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: That for a seconds. He might not, he might be

400
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: advised not to to. You know what I'm saying, speak on.

401
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 5: It at all.

402
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 4: Like my thing.

403
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: My thing is because what you think if he denies

404
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: and it comes back to him, it looks worse. Is

405
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 3: that what you're saying.

406
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 4: I think if you didn't do it, you just deny it.

407
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: If you didn't do it, it can't be proven that

408
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: you did it. Do you feel me Like if somebody said, yo,

409
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: that was wise that was on Kd's account, I'd be like, no,

410
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't.

411
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 4: There's no way you can prove that. I know it wasn't.

412
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 4: It wasn't mean because I didn't do it right.

413
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: So anyway, the only thing I will say is like,

414
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is KD because this nigga's

415
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: too funny.

416
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 4: The jokes is just too too funny. He said. I

417
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 4: like that Ben Simmons because at least he passed me

418
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: the ball.

419
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: Again, Bro, even if it was.

420
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: But that's him speaking as him.

421
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 4: That's what they were saying.

422
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: He's in a group last somebody's acting like.

423
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: He said, the account name is get off my dickers.

424
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 5: No, he's not acting like he's somebody.

425
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: No, he's acting like he's KD.

426
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, So why would he do that?

427
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: Why would he's got time, Bro.

428
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: Have an anonymous account and just be hanging out with

429
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: super fans.

430
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: He's always got he's got time on Twitter. I don't

431
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: I don't want are they super fans? I thought there

432
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: was like some of his homies that they just got mad,

433
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: and I think it's both. No, Bro, it's not homies.

434
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 3: These are Rando's on Twitter.

435
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't want to get into why somebody

436
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: would do that type of ship if you're in Kd's position,

437
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: But like you know, the only doubt for me is

438
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: just the comedy is just too pure.

439
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 4: It's all in russ a triple double cocaine bear.

440
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 3: It is not. It's not shocked because he's the allegations

441
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: they seem to fit you. I'm saying he's going to

442
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 3: have some Twitter burner accounts, so, like you know, it's hard.

443
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: To Devin Booker, Joseph Stalin, Yeah, and Frank Vogel, Adolf

444
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: Hitler crazy nah Kat not that funny bro.

445
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: Oh, this is what he's talking about.

446
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: Tree young bro shoot from the logo, but can't shoot

447
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: a mint breath deadly for real.

448
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 4: Been glazing me since middle school.

449
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: Somebody get this man chain and too bressure some gum before.

450
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: Then, glazing me since middle school is crazy.

451
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: I just refuse to believe he's that funny bro.

452
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: Hornet's got better young players than the Rockets, me on

453
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: the Hornets, greater than me on the Rockets.

454
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: Damn.

455
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: I didn't see all of those, that's crazy. I saw

456
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: a couple of them.

457
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn the ball over with the shitty ass team.

458
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. Your franchise player can't shoot

459
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: or defend. That's a way bigger issue than my turnovers. Remember,

460
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: these guys are your future.

461
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 5: So you just want to talk on to the Rockets.

462
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: Fans, yeah, or just big KD fans. Yeah, he's talking

463
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: to his biggest fans. I'm thinking, like, from what I understand,

464
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: it's like the biggest KD super fans on the internet.

465
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: And he started a group chat with him.

466
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, this is gonna he won't give you back. Yeah,

467
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: So allegedly this is all alleged. Again, KD doesn't deny it.

468
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: He just said he's moving on from.

469
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: The situation he had thirty five day, one night. I'm

470
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: sure people forget about it.

471
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 4: Not gonna affect this in the week, people.

472

Speaker 3: y'all listening.

505
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 4: When we say large, we mean large.

506
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan has over one hundred offices more than

507
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: one thousand lawyers nationwide.

508
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 4: That's not a law firm, that's a whole squad.

509
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: When hiring Morgan and Morgan, it's like hiring an army

510
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: that has your back.

511
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 5: And the numbers speak for themselves.

512
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: They recovered over twenty five billion dollars for more than

513
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: five hundred thousand clients, real results, Like in Florida, one

514
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 2: client got like twelve million dollars after the insurance company

515
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 2: only offered three hundred and fifty thousand, And in Pennsylvania

516
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: a client ended up with twenty nine million when the

517
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: insurer's best offer was five hundred kep.

518
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.

519
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: If you hire the wrong law firm, you might be

520
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: beat before the game even starts. All law firms are

521
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: not the same, and there's a reason Morgan and Morgan

522

Speaker 1: is America's largest injury law firm.

523
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,520

Speaker 1: I'm way less than now, my god, Jalen Wells Man.

548
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: I like that he's taking more ownership with the offense

549
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I've been a fan of his

550
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: since last year. This great draft pick up for for

551
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 1: Memphis one of my favorite guys on their team more

552
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: or less than eighteen and a half. See, this is

553
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: an easy more for me because he's gonna actually play.

554
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna play hard. Yeah, he's not gonna get pulled

555
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: because his team is winning. You know, less less Bowl,

Speaker 1: half assists?

558
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: He's gonna play. He's gonna play a lot of minutes.

559
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: I'm still gonna less. I think he's gonna shoot a lot,

560
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna less on assists.

561
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 5: So is uh price.

562
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: Pigs might have got confused and thought this was John Stockton.

563
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 3: He had a what's the name twenty is something assist game? Yeah? Crazy,

564
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: so even even additioned.

565
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: So my other guy, he's not playing now if he's starting, George.

566
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 5: George right barely, Yeah, he's they're just sitting here.

567
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: They just they're doing the same chickanery. But he's out

568
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: right now amazing both teams.

569
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: That's like fourteen players on there.

570
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: Less Adam Silver, get your league boy, less on Isaiah Collier.

571
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 5: Yeah he's going last.

572
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yep.

573
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 4: Less Yeah.

574
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: Speaking the tank and the disgusting situation that we find

575
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: ourselves in via the association. Multiple sources with knowledge of

576
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: Thursday's GM meetings, as well as late January Competition committee meetings,

577
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: told ESPN that the following concepts have been discussed to

578
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: curb tanking. First round picks can be protected only top

579
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 1: four or top fourteen meeting. You can only protect it

580
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: for the top four or lottery protected. All this other

581
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: top seven, top eight get out of here. Either should

582
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: have get off the pot, lottery odds freeze at the

583
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: trade deadline or at a later date.

584
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: I know that's something you brought up that you would

585
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 4: like to see. Andy's brought that up.

586
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: No longer allowing the team to pick top four in

587
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: consecutive years and or after consecutive bottom three finishes like that,

588
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: I'd love to see that all.

589
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: I don't mind that at all. All these look like good.

590
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: Teams can't pick top four the year after making the

591
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: conference finals, but if they own somebody's pick, I'm gonna

592
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: get into that.

593
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 4: Lottery odds allocated based on two year.

594
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: Two year records, Sure lottery extended to include all playing teams,

595
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: flatten odds for all lottery teams.

596
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 4: I would love to see that, honestly, like the same

597
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 4: amount of everybody gets the same balls. You're one through fourteen.

598
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: I would love.

599
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 5: That so much.

600
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: That'll make it because then you're not there's just nothing

601
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 3: to take. It's kind of the same as freeze frame

602
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: and the like, yeah.

603
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 4: Pray it's it.

604
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Which of these ideas are the best and most effective?

605
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 5: I like the flat to.

606
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: Latin nods not bad. I like the flat odds.

607
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 5: It's simple as it's more simple than the rest.

608
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: You don't make the playoffs, you have the same amount

609
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: of odds, mm hmm. And again, but you know, again,

610
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: everybody the guys that I feel like everybody should have

611
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: the same amount of odds.

612
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.

613
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: True love a lot of teams that are bad, like

614
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: better to.

615
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: This idea that you can't possibly you know, fine diamonds

616
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: in the rough, like be great at your job without

617
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: a draft. I just find it, you know, hard to

618
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: believe to me. My favorite one is definitely the flattening

619
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: of the odds.

620
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: I just know. I think that's the most likely.

621
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: I'm of all of these, I'm okay with flattening the odds.

622
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 3: I'm okay with freeze framing a deadline or it didn't

623
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: get rid of, like getting rid of the draft completely, like,

624
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: if we're going to do it, then then do it.

625
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: So those three ideas to me, everything else I'm like.

626
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the other things don't really fix Yeah, I

627
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: don't really fix the problem. So so now it's just

628
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: flattening the odds. It don't matter if you the last.

629
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: You know, if you last, yes, now you're just playing

630
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: to try to get to a plan.

631
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: And also but again, now if we're just gonna look

632
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: even the flatten the odds, folks, I think you know,

633
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: get rid of the play make it the eight teams again, whatever, right,

634
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: even if flatten the odds, folks, I promise you these

635
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: teams that are close to the eighth seed are going

636
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: to say we'd rather not have the eighth seed than

637
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: put ourselves in the lottery.

638
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 4: And we're still gonna be doing.

639
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 3: But that's why don't that's why you don't put it

640
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: just at eight. You's still the playing. I think is

641
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: you need the play because then they have something.

642
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: To play for, Danny, That's what I'm trying to do.

643
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: You don't think they're gonna try to play for playoffs

644
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: and a lot of the odds same like odds.

645
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: No, if getting into the real playoffs.

646
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: Well, so that's why you gotta do one of the other.

647
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 3: So you got either freeze frame or flat the odds, right,

648
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: you can't do you can't do both. So like if

649
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: you said freeze frame, this is your record now, I

650
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: was like, all right, now, you're still what I'm saying.

651
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: You still get this odds of being lottery and still

652
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: make the playoffs by getting to the play in.

653
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: That's all of this stuff is gonna be gamed.

654
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: It's like freezing in until the All Star or whatever

655
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: date or some people have suggested, Paul like not.

656
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: Telling anybody what the date is.

657
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: Even the freeze data secret, so nobody knows when they can.

658
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 4: Start or stop with.

659
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: The All Star break, Like, all right, these are.

660
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: This is I don't like that one.

661
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: I've heard a bunch of this stuff, but I just

662
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: think again, if you're rewarding the bad teams with the

663
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to just force a young guy to go play

664
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: for your team for four years at minimum, nobody's again

665
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: this same logic. Because the Jazz, if they wanted to,

666
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: could have pursued a top ten seed this year.

667
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: They could have tried it with the talent that's on

668
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 4: their roster. But to them they perceived.

669
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: No, the plan is nowhere near as valuable. Putting a

670
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: team together that wins is nowhere near as valuable as

671
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: being in the top eight of this draft, right, and

672
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: so all of this stuff is good at nipping at

673
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: the edges.

674
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: But the logic of this, this is what we're playing with.

675
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 4: This the rules, and this is how we get good

676
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 4: young players.

677
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: I think gods are just going to continue to stink

678
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: up the joint to get draft picks.

679
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, with the other rules.

680
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: That's why I say flatin odds, like and then you

681
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: just only include, like say a certain number of teams

682
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: that you want to say, all right, y'all are in

683
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: the lottery pool. Then there's a different pool after the lottery.

684
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna put the rest of the teams in

685
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: the pool after the first thirteen p.

686
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: And I also love the idea like if you get

687
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: a number one pick, you're ineligible for top four you

688
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: know last year, yeah, next two years, fuck it, damn yeah,

689
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: pray on the six sixth, number six or whatever like,

690
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: But then a bunch of teams that just start stinking

691
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: it up, and then how do you do that?

692
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: It's just do you think there's a way they can,

693
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: the league can figure out a way to make this

694
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: like a a money maker make money off of a

695
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: lottery tournament.

696
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: No, I mean even if they did, it wouldn't solve

697
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: the problem of negating.

698
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 4: Think about how.

699
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: Much inventory there are of regular season games, Like, even

700
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: if you did that, how do you make it so

701
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: that this generously called thirty five percent of your inventory

702
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: is pure.

703
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: Garbage not the end to see Like they say you

704
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 3: have to play in tournament, then you have like every

705
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: the day you have to play in and you have.

706
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: So you forced teams to be good enough to win.

707
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 3: You gotta you want to hire Island, and you're gonna.

708
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna gain their ways into being in that tournament

709
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: to beat up on these trash.

710
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 3: Teams, all trash. They're on the same kind of the

711
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: best teams you're gonna say you.

712
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: Play, I'm saying the most the like.

713
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 3: It's gonna be the worst teams that's gonna be playing

714
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 3: the lottery.

715
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: They're gonna play against each other, I'm telling you.

716
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: And then they gotta play for better odds.

717
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

718
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 5: I still don't. I still don't solve the regular season.

719
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 4: It just doesn't.

720
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: None of this regular frame and then have it like

721
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 3: at that time, like these a lot of you, but

722
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 3: you can get.

723
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 5: To make it so it doesn't matter. It's kind of

724
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 5: like the n I it doesn't matter.

725
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 2: Be competitive, go out and try to win, since it

726
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: don't matter if you got a bad record to get

727
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: the number one pick, you're gonna just keep playing if

728
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: you're flat to odds.

729
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: And just think about what it does psychologically to these

730
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: young players who year after year are just acts three

731
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: years in a row.

732
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 4: No, we don't want to win here. We hate winning.

733
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: Here is a bad atmosphere because we want to draft

734
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: your replacement. It's the most like the psychology of this

735
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: ship is the most insane thing to me. You know,

736
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: even with Joe Ellenbiide on the Sixers, I'm not saying

737
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: he's not a winner or he's not a winning player,

738
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: but I do think there's something to the psychology of

739
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: how they started his career for sure, where it's like

740
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: it's the processing you're the savior at Joellen. It's just

741
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: like bro, you think that didn't affect the guy's work

742
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: ethic or the way and Ben Simmons the way they

743
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: approach their professionalism and Joelle withhod Is conditioning and all

744
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: of this stuff like, it's just a nasty environment culture

745
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: to say, it's bad marketing for your league and your products,

746
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: it's nasty for the culture within your organization. It's just

747
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: so toxic, and I'm tired. That's another thing, man. This

748
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: is one of my rants, guys, because I'm on.

749
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 4: The media side, and I got a lot of love.

750
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: For my media guys, but it's very obvious to me

751
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: that most of them spend their time talking to GM motherfuckers,

752
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: management types who are like, no, no, no, no, no, we're

753
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: so smart for tanking. Here's how efficient we are. Here's

754
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: how we're optimizing for everything. And then these motherfuckers come

755
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: out and they try to explain the fans why no, no, no, no,

756
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: this is smart, guys, and you should love it. You

757
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: should love this bread sheet manipulation ship that these fucking

758
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: dorks are doing, and not just that shit kills me.

759
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Media motherfuckers, bro go touch some grass, talk to some

760
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: people who don't work in the NBA, who love the

761
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: NBA as a sport and as a passion, and try

762
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: to kick this bullshit. Y'all be talking about, Oh, this

763
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: is so smart to optimize. This is cold card and

764
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: efficiency like you sound fucking crazy.

765
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: Bro.

766
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry this is a media because again they're not talking.

767
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: Not to say these guys don't talk to players, but

768
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: I promise you, when guys are out there peddling this

769
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: pro management, this pro tanking, this efficiency optimization bullshit, it's

770
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 1: because they just getting it directly from these GM's assistant gms, scouts, etcetera, etcetera.

771
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, well, they gotta do something. We'll see what they

772
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 3: come up with. They're gonna come with something sooner than later.

773
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that because people, you're not the only

774
00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:59,319

Speaker 1: Smith, who said, quote, there is no team in hell

786
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: that should grab Darren Peterson at number one.

787
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 4: You cannot do it.

788
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: The first ability is availability, my brother, Darren Peterson, I

789
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: hope you're watching because I'm talking directly to him, what

790
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? You are a college player.

791
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: There's twenty four to twenty five games. He's already missed

792
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: about eleven to twelve end quote.

793
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 3: And minutes restriction on like five or six, Like he's

794
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 3: come out early on like five or six.

795
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 4: Of them like that, Well, is this a power move?

796
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 4: Is this hurting his draft stock? Darren Peterson?

797
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how much is hurting his draft stock.

798
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: It's hurting the perception of him as a person and

799
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: his brand. And you know, that's what these kids think

800
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: about the most, is their brand. Like when you have

801
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: us talking about it and you know, guys on on

802
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 2: ESPN and whatever networks they talk hoops and podcasts, this

803
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: is not good for your brand. And teams are gonna

804
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 2: look at that and just be like, you know, how,

805
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: you know, how is this competitive fire? How is his

806
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 2: mental you know about the game? Is it just a business?

807
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: Or does he love it? You know what I'm saying.

808
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: Those questions start to get asked when you see some

809
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: of the things that happen, or is it really something

810
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 2: physically wrong with him? Really, like like let's do like,

811
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 2: let's really do the research. And let's get in and

812
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: talk to the coaches and teammates and all of that.

813
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: When it's all said and done before we just kind

814
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: of like make our own opinion about what we think

815
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: about them. So, you know, but it doesn't look good

816
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: as far as just perception.

817
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 5: And your brand.

818
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 3: You see him play, what did you see when you

819
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 3: were there?

820
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 2: I mean I saw, like a lot of people say,

821
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: you know, who is his comparison is? You know, he

822
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: reminds me a lot of like Bradley Beal. You know,

823
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: I see a lot of Bradley Beal in this game.

824
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: You know, smooth, definitely a pro plays like a pro

825
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: in college. You know, you see it. I had the

826
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: chance to see it. They've closed, but you know, like

827
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: from watching on TV that the guy is a no

828
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 2: brainer pro. But also, like I think, when you draft,

829
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: I want to understand who I'm drafting to let me

830
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 2: talk to him in that process because we always draft

831
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 2: guys who wow, the long arms, Oh he could score

832
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 2: so easy, But then you look up when they get

833
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: to the league, the mentality ain't what you want it

834
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: to be. To kind of try to compete for a

835
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: championship or to really really build around long term and

836
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: it's just like, damn, we saw all this, you know

837
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: this upside and its just like damn, he really didn't

838
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: want it mentally, And that's what separates the guys from

839
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: like going from superstardom to like whatever's that next level.

840
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: Like when you like, like think about this, the only

841
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: difference between Kobe and t Mac was the mentality. You know,

842
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: it was just like if he if he had close

843
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: to Kobe's mentality, t Mac would be considered one of

844
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: the four or five best players to ever play. And

845
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 2: so you know that's what I look at when I start,

846
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: you know, look at if I was a GM, I'll

847
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 2: look at those little things.

848
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 5: Will he be a great NBA players? He has a chance?

849
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 5: I mean I don't.

850
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody's a sure shot because I've

851
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 2: seen number one picks no not make it to the

852
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: next level. But I like what I'm seeing when he

853
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: does play. But things just has to get a questioned

854
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: on the perception of you know, who is he mentally?

855
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 4: Two things for you, Danny, like what do you think.

856
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: This should do to his draft stock, if anything at all?

857
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: And how do you feel about it personally just as

858
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: a player, as a Hooper.

859
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of it, man. I think it's

860
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, you're cheating the game. But like the

861
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 3: basketball guys like they reward you if you just go

862
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: out there and do what you're supposed to do.

863
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 5: Just go hoop, bro.

864
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 3: Like you're talking about Kyrie, he played eleven games and

865
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 3: he wouldn't. But it's very different. It's a different time.

866
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 3: Like he was hurt, came back, went out there and hooped.

867
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: He wasn't like administration take me out, you know that

868
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 3: type of thing. The kids today are. They also getting

869
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 3: paid a lot of money, so it's a different type

870
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: of vibe.

871
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 4: But to me, that's even worse. You getting paid and

872
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 4: you clocking out early as a fan. It's honest, days

873
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 4: paid for work.

874
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 3: They don't have that same hunger that we had when

875
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: we wasn't. You know what I'm saying. It's different. It's

876
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 3: a different type of mindset, different type approach. And like

877
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: when I was on air today and I was talking

878
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 3: about it, I'm like trying to think of who's the

879
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: last person to do some ship like this, like who

880
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: set out or shut it down? It was like Mark

881
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 3: hell Falls, You know what I'm saying, Ben Simmons, Like,

882
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 3: those aren't the type of players you want to be

883
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 3: in the same category. Is this this is gonna trickle

884
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 3: over like into the next level? Like is your mindset

885
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: to be to quit and run or to you know,

886
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: pack up and and shut it down when things don't

887
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: go your way? Like, that's not a good sign to start,

888
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, But I don't think it should hurt.

889
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 3: He's still a very good player. He's young. I think

890
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 3: he's doing what he's being advised to do, which I

891
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 3: don't think is the right.

892
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it's advised though, because I saw

893
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 2: the game he shot the three and he was just like,

894
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 2: all right, that's it, take me out.

895
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, But do you think he's coming to this conclusion himself?

896
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: For you?

897
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 5: Is he actually maybe he's actually physically he might have.

898
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 3: Been cramping up, but I think like once because he

899
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 3: had had twenty three, he had twenty and fifteen.

900
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure that like is it or is

901
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 2: I can't believe that this is orchestra.

902
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 4: So that's what I'm saying, Paul.

903
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: I think somebody's telling him. You know, when you feel

904
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: you got what you need to get get out of

905
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: there about.

906
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 4: You guys, Danny as well.

907
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: If you cooking, bro, you want a hoop bro? He

908
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 3: had twenty and fifteen minutes our face. He cooked onto

909
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 3: microwave type. He ain't a real fast Our.

910
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 4: Favorite plays and we talk about ticket all the time.

911
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: Could you imagine Kevin Garnett doing something like this.

912
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 5: I mean he went to the extreme.

913
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 4: I'm just saying.

914
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: That's like the most extreme. He went to the ultimate competitor. No,

915
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: it's just like, give me somebody in the middle.

916
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 4: I forget that. I wouldn't forget KD. I mean kg

917
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 4: excuse me.

918
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: Even somebody like a Lebron who I remember this guy

919
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: early on in his career.

920
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 4: He's going out to New York in the summer. He's

921
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: playing at ISA with Sebastian Telfair. He's doing all this.

922
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 3: It's just like, yeah, everybody hoops.

923
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 4: Bro, play basketball, bro.

Speaker 3: I was like, Nah, we're gonna we're gonna get to it.

930
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't judge him in this climate because

931
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: of the money, Like you said, because of it'll be

932
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 2: different in the.

933
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 5: NBA locker room.

00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: You know, you know he has to set a president

941
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: here to where he's like, I wouldn't know what to

942
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 2: do if I was him, I don't know because you'll

943
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 2: be stuck in between, like if I allow him to

944
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: do it.

945
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 5: The next recruit, Tyran Stokes is.

946
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 2: Coming in next year, the number one player in the country,

947
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 2: you know, is this something he's gonna aye? And be like,

948
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: am I I can do this unless I get my

949
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: number sick because I'm projected to be a top pick already.

950
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 3: Would you take him number one?

951
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 4: Man? I would have to have a long conversation.

952
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 5: Would you would I take him number one?

953
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: Uh?

954
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 4: Stack draft member?

955
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: They told it this taking is justified.

956
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like the number one I like

957
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 2: aj the man slam because of he has the size

958
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: six nine, six nine sixteen still DULs.

959
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,479
Speaker 3: Like he has just the men mindset is not there yet,

960
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 3: you see, you see Darren Peterson with a stronger approach

961
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 3: to the game than Aj.

962
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: Well, Darren is talented, but like it's already showing me

963
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: with the mindset right now. So when you're at the

964
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: height of six six six', five you have to have

965
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 2: a certain. Mentality but when you're six nine and, talented

966
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: you have a little you can kind of give you

967
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: a little more. Way so that's kind of like the

968
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: DIFFERENCE i, think, Yeah i'm.

969
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: Taking and another thing THAT i will say just related

970
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: to the tanking thing and this idea that all that

971
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: matters is optimization and, efficiency and.

972
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 4: That's the same mindset that he's.

973
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: Using, Yeah i'm telling it stems from that same idea

974
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: of we need to do whatever is best For numero

975
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: uno and you, know a greater sense of responsibility than

976
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: anything else.

977
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 4: Is bullshit as far as we're. Concerned AND i just

978
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 4: THINK i think that's a whack.

979
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 3: Mental especially if you're on a team sport, team like

980
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,959
Speaker 3: what's relying on you trying to who the fans won't

981
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: want to see? You like you know What i'm, saying

982
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: like it's a it's bigger than just, you as you,

983
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: said like when you talk about the fans when it

984
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 3: comes to the tanking type of shit for, Me And

985
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 3: i'm not putting them in the same space as As. Bailey

986
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 3: but this, CONTINUES i could see it hurting his draft.

987
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 3: Stock and When i'm looking at the, draft there's other

988
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 3: dogs out there that's hooping and it has, potential Like

989
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 3: Kayla wilson who's six ten six, eleven can jumpup to.

990
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 3: Them even the point. Guard IF i need a point,

991
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 3: guard you got a. Cuff we have forty nine other,

992
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 3: night Even Kingston flemings who's getting, Buckets Like i'm looking Even,

993
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 3: booze he looks. Polished these guys ain't ducking no. Smoke

994
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 3: as A, Gm i'm probably looking at these guys' mentality

995
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 3: Over Darren pearson if he doesn't change this.

996
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: Narrative if it's actually, physical then that's another reason not

997
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: to want the.

998
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 4: Kid if it's.

999
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah already having physical issues with point once a

1000
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 3: week and we have eighty two. Games, bro what you're cramping?

1001
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 3: Up you better figure out you better take some electual.

1002
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 3: Lights you better not better take the gatorade on the

1003
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 3: sideline when it's handed to.

1004
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 5: You he's not drinking the gator but.

1005
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: He's clearly treating basketball as a, business which brings us

1006
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: To James, harden.

1007
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 4: Who says that loyalty in the business of basketball is.

1008
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: Overrated after being traded to The, Calves James harden, said

1009
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: loyalty is.

1010
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 4: Overrated quote the whole quote unquote loyalty. THING i think it's.

1011
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 4: Overrated this is a business at the end of the.

1012
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: Day another quote From harden to answer your, Question this

1013
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: is a business at the end of the. Day SO

1014
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: i feel like players should ultimately do what's best for,

1015
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: them and the front office does what's best for them

1016
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: and their owner and their. Organization so it's two sides

1017
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: of a.

1018
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 4: Story end.

1019
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 3: Quote he's not, wrong BUT i know you don't like

1020
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 3: To you don't want fans to hear. It you don't

1021
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 3: like to hear. It but he's not wrong at. All it's, like,

1022
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 3: yo so we operate on, loyalty but they don't have,

1023
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 3: to but just don't say. It that's where the ishuit comes.

1024
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 3: In so like because he's said in the, past LIKE

1025
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 3: i want to. RETIRE i, MEAN i think his intentions

1026
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 3: were at the, time, Like, YO i want to be

1027
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 3: here if they do what they do right by.

1028

1030
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: Gone james, SPECIFICALLY i think if a guy who's known

1031
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: to have a tireless motor never quit on a, team

1032
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: always came through and the biggest moment says something like,

1033
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: this you can say that and be, like.

1034
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 4: As long As i'm paid by an, ORGANIZATION.

1035
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: I show up AND i kill he does time for

1036
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: a guy Like james who like you, know put a

1037
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: fat suit, on and The brooklyn situation and then what

1038
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: he does at The clippers And houston was, weird and

1039
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: it's just it's just it's a little shakier coming from.

1040
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 2: Him, Paul, well it all stems, from you, know how

1041
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 2: he was done In.

1042
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 5: PHILLY i mean he.

1043
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 3: Wanted to get out Of. Houston then he wanted to

1044
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 3: got A. BROOKLYN i Mean philly was where it start like,

1045
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 3: that that that bad taste.

1046
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: Thing this is my, Thing like he's not wrong in,

1047
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 2: it but it also like when we as players start

1048
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 2: looking at it just as a, business it takes away

1049
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 2: the competitive spirit of the game like it takes away

1050
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 2: a fan base growing with you and becoming one with the.

1051
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 5: Fan AND i get.

1052
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 2: It you, know you only have a number of years

1053
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: to maximize your, earning you, know. Potential Uh AND i

1054
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: hate that the game has come to, this you, know

1055
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: because when you look at the old school players, win,

1056
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 2: lose our, draw they want to die with their, franchise

1057
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 2: they want to die with their, fans and.

1058
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 5: You, know, unfortunately we're in the space to where that's

1059
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 5: not the.

1060
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 2: Issue and you, KNOW i think it all started With

1061
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 2: lebron truthfully going To miami and guys was, like you,

1062
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,640

1063
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 2: This but we see guys jumping around there's no more you,

1064
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,600

Speaker 2: be the last guy to do. That you, know a

1066
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: guy who's a franchise guy who's with his one team

00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 2: last one was Like kobe And, Dirt Tim, duncan guys like.

1068
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,759

00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: widgets the widgets get, sold and management pays you whatever

1094

1096
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: you get To, like this is not that sports is

1097
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. Different and the truth of the matter

1098
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: is there is an irrationality to sports that a bunch

1099
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: of people show up in roof of gods because they're

1100

Speaker 1: Business but, like, bro the reason why we love this

1108
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: thing is because we don't treat it like the rest
