00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: the lead up. Lebron intends to opt out of his

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: fifty one point four million dollar player option for next season,

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: though he's expected to return to LA on a new deal.

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: The Warriors are preparing to lose Clay Thompson. We'll get

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: into that, but let's start with Paul George. Paul George

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: a hot name today. He has opted out of the

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: final year of his contract with the Clippers, and he

26
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: will become an unrestricted free agent. He plans to set

27
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: up meetings with the Philadelphia seventy six Ers, the Orlando Magic,

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: and the Clippers tonight and I guess tomorrow, maybe a

29
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: little Monday meeting. Who's getting the Monday meeting? Who's sloppy? Seconds? Third?

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, So we've heard some reports that perhaps

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: Paul George is gonna be inking a deal with the

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: Philadelphia seventy six ers. So maybe the Clippers is the

33
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: last one to let him down, say goodbye one last Yeah,

34
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: maybe see it on.

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: The East Coast. My family can move there. Yeah, we

36
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: did have a bleacher reports Chris Haynes tweeting about an

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: hour ago that there's growing optimism the seventy six ers

38
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: will land Paul George in free agency. You like the

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: fit tasks if that does happen and Paul George does

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: leave La you like him manage.

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: It sure feels like Paul George is leaving. Do I

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: have inside information?

43
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: Oh?

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: No, no, I do not. But after Kawhi Leonard got

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: that extension in January, nothing has happened for Paul George,

46
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: who was his No, it was co pilot there. It

47
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: was supposed to be a one too, he didn't get one.

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: So it sure feels like, especially you know, this is

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: the fun time to just be skeptical of everything. On

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: his podcast recently, he gave lots of love to Pala Boncaro,

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: lots of it, okay, And so he will be meeting, yeah,

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: with Philly for sure, en in Orlando, And I guess

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: he'll be meeting with Steve Bomber. I mean I guess.

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll talk about toilets and the new into It dome,

56
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: who knows. But he's not going. He's not going.

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: I never got a chance to flush one. Now you

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's going back because of the hang up

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: on this fourth year, right, they offered Kawi the extension

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: for three years, seems like they were sort of presenting

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Paul George's similar sort of framework, But he's like, I

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: want that fourth year. Give me that fourth year, which

63
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: he can sign with another team with cap space like Philadelphia,

64
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: a four year, two hundred and twelve million dollars contract

65
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: that could happen at six o'clock here, definitely could, right.

66
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then that's what it's about. It's about the

67
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: dollar dollar bills.

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: I think.

69
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: So with Paul George at thirty four, he's going to

70
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: get four years from somebody. And it sure feels like

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: Philly right now. But it feels like if you look

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: back at the Indie days, the okay see days, and

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: now the Clipper days, he's basically told all three teams

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: at some point I'm retiring here.

75
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Yes he has.

76
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: I went literally had you know, during this time when

77
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: you're just refreshing everything on Twitter, I saw these quotes

78
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: when he was in Indie. My goal is to win

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: one here. I never want to leave Indy. He demanded

80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: a trade A couple months later, Okay, see, I'm here

81
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: to stay. We can bring this thing home.

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: Obviously that did not happen. He wanted to go to

84
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: the LA which then he said, this is where my

85
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: heart is. I want to retire a Clipper.

86
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: So he's leading.

87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: Okay, you believe this. Paul George is going to go

88
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: to Philly and let's talk about the fit a little bit.

89
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Do you like it. I mean, he'd be a third option,

90
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: an expensive third option, but an expensive third option.

91
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: But the great thing with Paul George is sometimes he

92
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: can be a first option for you.

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes he can be a second option for you.

94
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: And when Embiid is cooking, when Max he is cooking,

95
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: he can be the third option for you. That's the

96
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: awesome thing about Paul George is he's such a plug

97
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: and play guy. He can play off the ball, he

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: can play with the ball, he shoots threes, he plays defense.

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: If he's not necessarily the lockdown guy he was way

100
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 3: back in the indie days, he's still able to guard

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 3: his position on both sides.

102
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, of.

103
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: Course he fits. And he's the biggest free agent out there.

104
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: There aren't a ton of like high priced, notable, elite

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: role players, you know, like casep is the guy that

106
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: everybody is chasing after from role player perspective, But there

107
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: aren't a lot of those guys for the Sixers to

108
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: be able to split up their whatever sixty million dollars

109
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: in cap, so for them, it might be a better

110
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: move actually to spend the.

111
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Majority of it on Paul George. Bring back the good.

112
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: Guys that you have on your team, like b Toom

113
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: probably will be coming back. I assume Maltain will probably

114
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: come back as well. I think that's smarter than trying

115
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: to split it amongst these role players who aren't really

116
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: going to raise your ceiling. Because the Knicks got better,

117
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: but I think that this makes the seventy six Ers

118
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: at least on par with the Knicks.

119
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Still behind the Celtics though, and a lot of seventy

120
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: six Ers fans are like, anybody's better than Tobias Harris. Well, yes,

121
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: and he is still good, but yeah, I think he's

122
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: dropped off. Paul George has a little bit defensively, Maybe

123
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: he can sort of find that again and lock in

124
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: on that end. But yeah, they have sixty one point

125
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: three million dollars in cap space Philadelphia. Does You've got

126
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: the Pistons as one of these teams with a lot

127
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: of cap space as well, they're over fifty million, and

128
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: then the Magic have basically cleared the perfect number, really

129
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: fifty million to maybe make a play at Paul George

130
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: sort of sort of cooler even in the conversation. I

131
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: don't I don't think they'll land him. I think he

132
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: would ultimately pick Philly. But you know, that's good for

133
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: this team that obviously not too long ago was one

134
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: of the worst in the league, and they're building on

135
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: something here. It's good to be used for leverage.

136
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember when people, Yeah, I'm saying the

137
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: same about the Suns getting a meeting with Lamarus Aldridge.

138
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: True. True, Look, it's good to get a meeting, yeah,

139
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: because like you're taking at least somewhat seriously, even considering

140
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: I will waste I will use some of my time,

141
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: my precious time, to come and meet with you, or

142
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: you'll come meet with me. Yeah.

143
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: I guess the positive for an Orlando, or like in

144
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: Indiana when we talked about Pascal Siakam, is that they're

145
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: part of the conversation. That's what it is about. And

146
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: that's why Paul George jumped into this situation here to

147
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: try and get as much money as possible. I mean,

148
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: this is what it's all about for him.

149
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: So this last big payday yeah really.

150
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's going to keep embiid there for several years.

151
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: This is I think this sort of locks in Embid

152
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 2: into Philadelphia for more years just just because Miami just signed.

153
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: He ain't going there.

154
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: Uh so they're gonna this isn't the best tube man

155
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: that they've had since Jimmy Butler has been several years.

156
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: So this is a good shot for them.

157
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, So you think if Paul George goes to Philly,

158
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: let's say, signs at six or whatever in the coming days,

159
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: you think of the team in bad one Paul George

160
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: two ahead of Maxi two, A two B between those

161
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: two guys obviously took a jump, could continue to get back.

162
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: They're they're co They're Coco pilots. I mean they're they're like,

163
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 2: how guys can you have.

164
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: In your brother is a pilot? How many seats are

165
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: up there?

166
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: We got there?

167
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Okay, there's only two two?

168
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: Well to the old school was two plus a navigator. Right,

169
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: that's got a thing anymore.

170
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: You don't exactly taking everybody's jobs.

171
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: This is an old this is an old school airplane

172
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: ashes coming into the You've got something to say on

173
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: what you got from chums.

174
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 6: Golden State is waving Chris Paul okay, and he would

175
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 6: become a free agent he is he's waived.

176
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, so they don't want to guarantee that money Nope,

177
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: obviously and find the trade for it. Couldn't find a

178
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: trade for yeah, at thirty mil.

179
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: And we learned today that you know, from reputible sources

180
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: that there was potentially a Paul George to the Warriors deal.

181
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: The framework was there, and I believe it was going

182
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: to be for like a Wiggins or Chris Paul. Obviously

183
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: that contract maybe one of the young guys, a Kaminga

184
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: or a Moody, maybe even a first round pick from

185
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: the Warriors to the Clips for Paul George. And that

186
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: was shot down not happening.

187
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: Why because the Warriors don't want to give up all

188
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: that stuff for Paul George.

189
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: I think it was more from the other side of things.

190
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the Clippers were all that eager to help.

191
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: Obviously a state rifle there though you could lose him

192
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: for it. Absolutely nothing is the is the issue. But

193
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: that was being kicked around, Yeah, and the opt out

194
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: was when it was.

195
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: Over basically right for uh the Warriors. So yeah, I

196
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: guess we also, you know, we're gonna get into it

197
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: little bit here. The Warriors are saying that they're going

198
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: to probably be losing out on Klay Thompson. He's probably

199
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: going to go elsewhere because they wanted to address other

200
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 3: things before coming to Clays free agency. One of those

201
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: things seemed like it was going to be Paul George.

202
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: But we heard earlier today that after he opted out

203
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 3: of his contract that they were going to be bowing

204
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: out basically of the Paul George sweepstakes.

205
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: The Warriors aren't going to be good next year. They're

206
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: gonna have.

207
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 3: Chris Paul or I mean Steph Curry. They're gonna have

208
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: Draymond Green. I'll still be there kaminga third leading spot,

209
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: probably John Those guys are like year four and year two. Yeah,

210
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: this might be another play in appearance for a Golden State.

211
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: They wanted to get better via trade, that's for sure.

212
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: They pushed back this. Chris Paul have to approve it

213
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: by two days and the day is up now. And

214
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: they talked about Andrew Wiggins playing for Canada this summer,

215
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: and they talked about it. I assume with his agent

216
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: they couldn't demand that he doesn't play with Canada, but

217
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: they recommended it. And he's not so that was definitely

218
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: a part. But maybe Wiggans can go now. I don't

219
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: know I have this trade foul. Go ahead, Wigs.

220
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Because there was concern. Obviously, you go to training camp,

221
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: you could get injured that obviously, Tanks, you're already pretty

222
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: rough trade value as it is, we don't want you

223
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: doing that. Obviously a lot of Canadian basketball fans are

224
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: pretty upset with this, but hey, you can't do that.

225
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, it Tray brings up a good point. It's

226
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: it's Steph. It's now Wiggans and Draymond Green as your

227
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: top three, and you know, beyond that, because we don't

228
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: know what's going on with Clay, Beyond that, it's a

229
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: lot of role players. Obviously Kuminga has some some a

230
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: lot of potential, but beyond that, you know, it's Gary

231
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: Payton the second and guys like that.

232
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get into the Clay of it all. I mean,

233
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: it's like it feels like there's like eight reports that

234
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: he's gone, Like it's absolutely done that he is going

235
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: to be leaving. We don't know where the Lakers have

236
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: been thrown out there. It could be the Sixers as

237
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: like maybe a backup if Paul George doesn't come to fruition. Obviously,

238
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: the Magic have been a team he's been sort of

239
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: linked to for a while. We went over and they

240
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: got the cap space they could make a move. Sort

241
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: of weird is the sort of ending like this? I

242
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: sort of hated if him being honest, I'm not really

243
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: of course, not a Warriors fan, but it's like part

244
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: of that dynasty and it's like feels like it's over

245
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: and he will be going somewhere because maybe he just

246
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: feels disrespected the role obviously was coming off the bench

247
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: at times. Not that he was good either, I mean,

248
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: he struggled, But what do you think about the Klay

249
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Thompson leaving the Warriors here?

250
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: It seems like it's gonna be about respect, quite honestly,

251
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 3: because it seemed like last season Clay was pretty upset

252
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: with the way things were going. He got benched at

253
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: one point, came into the starting lineup again at one point,

254
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 3: just wasn't.

255
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Quite the same player he was.

256
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: They paid a whole bunch of guys before they got

257
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: to Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, all

258
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: those guys got contracts before Clay did. And now you

259
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: look at the landscape of where he's gonna go, probably

260
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 3: not gonna be Philadelphia since they're going to spend the

261
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 3: majority of their money on Paul George. The rumors have

262
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: been the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks have been I

263
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: think the hottest ones today. And he's not going to

264
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: be getting much more than the two for forty eight

265
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: that he turned down before the season, right Like, if

266
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: he goes to the Lakers, he's playing for thirteen million dollars.

267
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could be taking a significant fifty pay cut

268
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: basically on what the Warriors were going to offer him.

269
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: So then at that point, it's not even about dollars,

270
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: it's about I was one of the legends here and

271
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: he didn't treat me like a legend. But Clay has

272
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: not been the same player as he was, and he

273
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 3: can probably more easily be the player he needs to

274
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: be at this point in his career somewhere away from

275
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: Golden State.

276
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: And the rumor was that he received an offer last

277
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: summer for an extension for two for forty eight, but

278
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: I guess that wasn't enough because I guess he wanted

279
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: a long term just to sort of match up with others,

280
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: what others were getting in Draymond and Steph Curry. I

281
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: always think, does he want to play in a situation

282
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: like Orlando where he would be perfect? They need a

283
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: guy at the guard spot who can fire. But he

284
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: loves to be on a boat every day. You know,

285
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: Orlando is kind of landlocked. I mean, when I watched yesterday,

286
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: was Klay Thompson on his boat. Oh man, what a

287
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: beautiful day. He just talks about how beautiful the day is,

288
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 2: like over and over. I thought that was from yesterday.

289
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: I's all you can do it. Yeah, it's either the

290
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: fisher biting or man, it's.

291
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: Nice out there.

292
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: That's really nice. And then he shows the other side.

293
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: Oh look at that island. Yeah, and didn't look that great.

294
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. But anyways, I thought that was

295
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: from yesterday. I thought he was kind of saying goodbye

296
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: to Golden State. But going through social media, looks like

297
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: it was an oldie. I don't know why I need

298
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: to report that, but the report is Klay Thompson. It

299
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: sure feels like he's leaving.

300
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

301
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: But as I said, those names just now that tray

302
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: was going through as well. It's Drey it's Steph.

303
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: There's not a.

304
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: Lot of talent unless they go get somebody else. And

305
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: so that's the scary part for the Warriors.

306
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: Exactly Baby exactly being kicked around quite a bit, like

307
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: something that the Warriors could try and do at least

308
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: to maybe get him. I mean, it's like, if you

309
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: still believe this is the Steff and he's still in

310
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: his prime and you have a chance if you have him,

311
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: but you need talent around him, It's like it starts

312
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: to get down. Okay, well you can't get Paul jard Sure,

313
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: that's not happening, So who's left. I mean, it's like

314
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: brandon Ingram. Maybe probably have to send out a bunch

315
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: of draft capital to do that, so you mortgage your future.

316
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: Zach Levine. You might get a pickback for Zach Levin,

317
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: but obviously you know his contract and how he would fit.

318
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: I think Zack Levine would actually make more sense if

319
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: they had to pick between those two guys, just how

320
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: they currently are constructed. But yeah, it's weird, Clay, It's

321
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: just gonna be weird. I'm serious, that's gonna be a

322
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: weird jersey swap to me him in a Lakers uniform,

323
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: him in a magic uniform. Who a Maverick's uniform? That

324
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: would be strange.

325
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: Well, the second best guy often plays for a different

326
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: team at the end of a dynasty.

327
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, Tony Parker did. Tim Duncan didn't.

328
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Michael Jordan never played for a different team

329
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: besides the Bulls. But how many teams this gotta pipen

330
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: played for?

331
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: But it really is like a bad bad look. It's

332
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: all about money. It's literally all about money.

333
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: The Warriors are kind of cheaping out on pay and play,

334
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: and they are cheaping out on using their future picks

335
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: and all these young guys they've traded because they want

336
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: to protect their future going forward. But like, look at

337
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: a team like the Lakers, they don't care. The Bucks

338
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: have no future right now. So the Warriors have basically

339
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: they tried the two timelines thing. It obviously didn't work.

340
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: Bob Myers decided to quit because it didn't work, And

341
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: now Mike Dunleavy is kind of having to clean up

342
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: the mess, and the mess is breaking up the dynasty.

343
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how do they get back anywhere?

344
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: It's tough. I feel like Clay is gonna like take

345
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: a significant pay decrease and go play for the Lakers.

346
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, obviously family ties a little bit there. There's

347
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: a role for him, and it would be'd be weird that, like,

348
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: hey man, we offered you way more money than this,

349
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: but you are very you felt disrespected, I guess, and

350
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: want an opportunity and prove us wrong and stuff like that.

351
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: I might if I had to pick right now. I

352
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: do think he's gonna end up in a Lakers uniform,

353
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: which will be weird but pretty fun. When Clay catches

354
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: fire against the Warriors in some game that will be

355
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: watching on TNT, I'm sure playing game, well, yeah, eventually that, yes,

356
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: for sure, these teams will be battling anything else there

357
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: on Clay. Do you have a preference where you'd like

358
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: to see him go? What Dallas, Orlando, LA, some other team?

359
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, be A part of me is hey just laid

360
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: out with Golden State, although part of me is is Orlando.

361
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: They just needed somebody in the postseason to really hit shots,

362
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: were really and be comfortable taking them and have everything

363
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: lined up for that guy. And yes, I know in

364
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: the playing game he was zero for ten and everybody

365
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: ridicules him for being that, but he'll have that sort

366
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: of same feeling that he had when the good days

367
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: were in Golden State, where you're relied on with Orlando.

368
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: He just wants to be loved man. Yeah.

369
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sort of like, well, I.

370
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Mean different circumstances, but like when Ray Allen left Boston

371
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: for Miami and there was like, well, it's like felt

372
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: like there was like they were mad at exactly. Yeah,

373
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: and then they're mad at him for a decade. Yeah,

374
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: I know they still might be mad at him. So

375
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know there's something there, and I think Warriors

376
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: fans are probably conflicted a little bit. Obviously, he's a legend.

377
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: You don't win a lot of these titles without him,

378
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: You're not even in half of them without them, and

379
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: so there's that. But then it's like, well, come on, man,

380
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: well you're gonna especially if it goes to like the

381
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Lakers or something like that, or even the Mavericks. It's

382
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: like a team that's like really good or should be good.

383
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: It'd be a bad, it'd be tough, it'd be tough.

384
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: I'd be conflicted. If I was Warrior sent.

385
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: I'd like to see him on okay See or Dallas,

386
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: I think, But at that point he's got to be

387
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: willing to come off the bench, and that's gonna be

388
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 3: a question. Yeah, And it's similar to a very similar

389
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: to Ray Allen, I think leaving the Celtics because when

390
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: he went to Miami, he just became like our clutch

391
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: three point shooter, our guy who's waiting in the corner.

392
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: He wasn't a high usage guy like he had been

393
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: for the Celtics and the Bucks and Sonics prior to

394
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 3: that in his career. So he had to take a

395
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: step back. And that's what Klay Thompson is going to

396
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 3: have to do. But couldn't you see him hitting a

397
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 3: monster shot in Game six four? Ok See, yeah, yeah,

398
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: I'd rather have him play for a competitive team like

399
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 3: the Mavericks or the Thunder rather than the Lakers or

400
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: the Magic.

401
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, let's respect that Magic fifth place last year.

402
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: Day they will have a better record than the Lakers.

403
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: I think, let's talking about Lakers. Got anything else about

404
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: Clay because we're getting I don't know about seven minutes

405
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: away from the official start of free agency. If you're

407
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: His five star ratings in review. Lakers sort of been

408
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: busy here Like I said, Lebron is opted out, so

409
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: he's eyeing a new deal with them. They also the

410
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Lakers came to an agreement four year, thirty two million

411
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: dollar deal with Max Christie, so he is going to stay.

412
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: That final year includes a player option. D'Angel Russell says

413
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: he intends to opt in. He's staying with the Lakers.

414
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes exercised his two point four million dollar play

415
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: option he'll return to the Lakers, and Cam Reddish exercised

416
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: his two point five million dollar player option to return

417
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: to the Lakers. All these resignings bring the Lakers roster

418
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: to fifteen players, assuming they keep Lebron. So you know,

419
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: they got like their roster. They would need to consolidate

420
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: guys in a trade to open up additional rush spots.

421
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, I will add that Lebron reports say hey,

422
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: you know I'm not signing yet, Go get me some help.

423
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: Be it Klay Thompson, Jonas valen Chunis. There was one

424
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: more name I'm forgetting. It was like a third guy

425
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: that was like a possibility.

426
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: What point is Lebron wants Ron saying, hey, maybe James

427
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: Harden James Harden Hard It was, but Sean's reporting that

428
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: James Harden signing a two year, seventy million dollar contract

429
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: return to the Clippers. Okay, shout out to Mike Silverman,

430
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: Troy Pain, and Brandon Greer of Equity Sport.

431
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: Shout out to those guys. My least favorite thing about

432
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: free agency. We get the information from one of the newsbreakers,

433
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: and then we got a show love to all.

434
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: The agents, Mike, Troy, and Brandon. Thank you, sir, down Yeah,

435
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: but yeah.

436
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: I was.

437
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: Honestly, I'm surprised to see Jonas Valentunas included in that

438
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: list of players. But the Lakers clearly need a center

439
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 3: next to Anthony Davis, and Valentiunis is kind of like

440
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 3: the perfect guy. He can play thirty minutes a night

441
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: of center and then in the fourth quarter Anthony Davis

442
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: can play center to close out the games.

443
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: I can see that working there.

444
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: But I find it hard to believe that Lebron is

445
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: taking a pay cup for Yonas Valentiunas.

446
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: Right, right? Or what about Clay Yeah? Maybe?

447
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, no offense, but I hard to believe Yonas

448
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: pay cut worthy.

449
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people probably rule their eyes

450
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: at Lebron even considering taking a pay cut, right, that's

451
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: generally not what he's did. I guess he did it

452
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: once way back in the heat days.

453
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: The first year that you mean, it was a different time,

454
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: and it wasn't much of a discount, right it was

455
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: literally and twenty ten it was the money was a

456
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: lot different. But I would think that this would be

457
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: the year that Lebron would do something similar to that,

458
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: just because, I mean, these are your last couple of years.

459
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: Why not benefit your team that you're going to play

460
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: with to go get somebody else.

461
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: But I agree you Hey, you scratch my back, IY

462
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: scratch yours? Yeah, you drafted my damn son. Yeah, all

463
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: part of that. That's pretty cool. Thanks. I'll take a

464
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a pay cut if you want to,

465
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: like trying to help the team here and go get

466
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: one of these sort of at least marquees, maybe a stretch,

467
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: but one of the more notable free agents that we

468
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: could possibly bring in.

469
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: I was it, Yeah, and that feels like it was

470
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: part of the deal. Although now that they have signed

471
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: with fifteen guys until Lebron signed, yeah, it would just

472
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: be doing it. Who signed somebody as we just mentioned

473
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: as a free agent, although deroz And signed in trade. Yeah,

474
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: a sign and trade.

475
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: I think that is a possibility the DD.

476
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: Come into the Lakers. Yeah, there's there's speculation. We're going

477
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: deep here with John Hollinger reported that if he decides

478
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: to take fifteen off, the Lakers could trade Ruey, Christian Wood, Shaffino,

479
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: Gabe Vincent and a twenty nine first for Jeremy Grant.

480
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 2: H Jeremy Grant is it's an interesting situation what they

481
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: got in Portland going on, because they traded. They traded

482
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: Malcolm Brogden and it looked like they're trying to kind

483
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: of get younger, but they still have DeAndre and so

484
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: it feels like that is also a possibility. And it

485
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: also would be a fit as a guy who balls hard,

486
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: and it would be a third option.

487
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 4: So it feels like something's happening with the Lakers. That's all.

488
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: That's all.

489
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: We don't know at this point what's happening, but sure

490
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: it does feel like they're not just going to run

491
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: out the same. I'm looking forward to get run.

492
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: My son, that's all we were missing.

493
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: Pulled this up, but at one point, Lebron said that

494
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: his son could start over a lot of player's true.

495
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: I did say that that's a good.

496
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 4: Oo.

497
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: Chris Hanes are reporting, going back to Paul George, there's

498
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 2: growing optimism that the Sixers will land, Paul George, growing optimism.

499
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: This is the time for these words, I know, for

500
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: these fun words, growing optimism.

501
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: But he tweeted that again, it was like an hour on.

502
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: That was an hour ago.

503
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 2: Man, Oh you're right, three fifty nine. It looked like

504
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: I guess I'm getting the Eastern time on Twitter.

505
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: So I guess it was to fix the timing on

506
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: your computer.

507
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: I thought he was Mountain time. Yeah, anyway, it doesn't matter.

508
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: We had I'll say, uh, hey for or four for

509
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: thirty two for Max Christie is too much a lot?

510
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen him play?

511
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

512
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: Literally, have you seen him play? Like it's rare? Nine hundred?

513
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: Did he play one thousand minutes? I don't think so.

514
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: He's a three indeed, man played fourteen hundred and fifty

515
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: six minutes in his career.

516
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: His career, he played two years, two seasons.

517
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 6: Wow.

518
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, it is a lot, even though eight million

519
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: is not a lot in the NBA for a second

520
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 2: round pick, and for what he's done, it.

521
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Is, well, you need some of these contracts to trade.

522
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: That's why maybe yeah, well maybe so.

523
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: I do think De'angelo Russell is still in the mix

524
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: to be traded. And I really sawn like Yovan Buja's article,

525
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: it feels to me like the Lakers are kind of

526
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: laying the groundwork of saying, hey, we might not be

527
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: able to make a big move this summer. We just

528
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: might not be able to do it. Wait till the

529
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: trade deadline. And that's exactly what they did at the

530
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 3: trade deadline last year. This Lakers team, if they're really

531
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: trying to win a title, actually has to do stuff

532
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: because it's not just going to work with Lebron and eighty.

533
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: The rest of the players around him aren't as good.

534
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 4: Right, right, right right.

535
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: Other reported signings here as we tick to basically six o'clock,

536
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: the official start of free agency, I'll just like rip

537
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: through these because he's all happened over the last what

538
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. So Obi toppin four years, sixty million

539
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: dollar contract to stay with the Pacers, Patrick Williams intends

540
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: to sign a five year, ninety million dollars deal to

541
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: return to the Bulls. Rashaun Holmes declining his twelve point

542
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: eight million dollar player option in order to sign a

543
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: new two year, about twenty six million dollar deal with

544
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: the Wizards. Only two hundred and fifty thousand of that

545
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: thirteen point three million is guaranteed for the twenty five

546
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: twenty sixth season. Royce O'Neil intends to sign a four year,

547
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: forty four million dollar deal to return to the Suns.

548
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Bull Bull he's going to return to the sun so

549
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: on a one year deal. And Alex lenn intends to

550
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: sign a one year, three point three million dollar deal

551
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: to return to the Kings. And then there's a lot

552
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: of other like declinings and pickups and stuff like that.

553
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: But I'll leave it there for a second. I wanted

554
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on Patrick Williams five years ninety

555
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: looks like, ah, it looks like a lot. Now. What's

556
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: crazy at where we're at with cap space and stuff

557
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: like that. It's going to be like twelve percent of

558
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: your team's cap space as it moves on. But still,

559
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: this is a guy that's been injured, hasn't proven a

560
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: whole lot. What do you think the Bulls signing him

561
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: to five.

562
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 3: For ninety as long as he doesn't get knocked out

563
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: of the air by Mitchell Robinson.

564
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: He has been fairly healthy.

565
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: But Patrick Williams is not what you're expecting from a

566
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: fourth overall draft pick. Scottie Barnes is maybe something you

567
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: could be expecting. What was his contract like two hundred

568
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: and fIF million from the Raptors. Drafted a year after

569
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 3: in the number four spot. The Bulls are getting their

570
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: guy for ninety million, and they're getting about that much

571
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: production as well. Comparatively, Patrick Williams is like a fine

572
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: starting wing. He makes wide open threes, he doesn't take

573
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: any other shots. He can guard his guy one on one.

574
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: Maybe he can make a play every now and then.

575
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: But he's super young, and the Bulls have seen a

576
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 3: lot of players go somewhere else and turn into somebody good,

577
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 3: Lowry Markingen most notably. But I'm even like they had

578
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: Luke Cornett that I could hardly even get on the

579
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: floor for the Bulls.

580
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Suddenly he'st playing in the finals for the Celtics.

581
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 6: Speaking of Luke Cornett, he just signed a one year

582
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 6: deal to the returning to the Celtics.

583
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Celtics, so I was going to ask who is going

584
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: to be the first official sort of signing Cornet is

585
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: it Luke Barnett.

586
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, on the okay, five years is a long time

587
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 7: for Patrick Williams, but he's very, very young, and you know,

588
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 7: if he ever pops it all, that would be awesome

589
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 7: for the Bulls.

590
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: But it kind of feels to me like perhaps the

591
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: Bulls are rebuilding here. According to the Chicago Sun Times,

592
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: it wouldn't be surprising if DeRozan is gone, if Levine

593
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: has gone, and Luke's gone by the.

594
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: Start Wow, opening night, Wow, We'll see.

595
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: I means is becoming like DeRozan and Levine are probably

596
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: becoming a little bit more interesting for teams right now.

597
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 3: With Paul George going to Philadelphia, Clay Thompson isn't gonna

598
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: get paid a whole bunch of money, like they're running

599
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: out of good guys who are available. And DeRozan, for

600
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 3: all of his faults, Zach Levine, for all of his faults,

601
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: they still have been productive players in their career, so

602
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna sucker somebody in the table.

603
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: Well, and it's sort of like it feels like we're

604
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: gonna be waiting on Paul George, like it has to

605
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: like a lot of these teams, those type of guys

606
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: could be backup plans if you strike out on not

607
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: getting Paul George to sign with your team or whatever.

608
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: Right like, like, okay, now we got to pivot. We

609
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 1: got all these caps dates, we gotta do something with it.

610
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: Uh So, Yeah, it could be DeRozan or Levin the

611
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: sort of backup plans, but we'll be waiting on podcast

612
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: P to make his decisions. Hopefully doesn't take two of.

613
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like the Clippers know that Paul George

614
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: isn't coming back by signing James harn to that too

615
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: seventy million dollars deal, and as Trey said, Paul George

616
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: is by far the number one. And then you got

617
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 2: guys jumping in like de Rosen Mature feels like, and

618
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: Zach Lavine bull situation is very interesting. To sign Patrick

619
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: Williams the five for ninety him and Vooch, you know,

620
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: making will make sort of in the ballpark of the

621
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: same amount of money. So considering that they made that

622
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: trade for Josh Gatty, it looks like, yes, they will

623
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: be retooling. I don't know if they're going to be

624
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: totally totally breaking it down the.

625
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: Rumors task or we might be getting a two year tank.

626
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: It's Chicago two year tank tank. We got the Cooper

627
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: flag tank. And then even more importantly, the Bulls want

628
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 3: to bring another.

629
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: Boozer to Chicago.

630
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: Run back the Carlos Boozer five jerseys with his son

631
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: come on.

632
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: And two we do have this from Shaan's too, and

633
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: just like to go back to claim for one second.

634
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: After thirteen iconic seasons together, sources say Clay Thompson is

635
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: departing the Warriors, okay, and the sides will begin to

636
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: work through a sign and trade. There is that as

637
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: an option here. So that's what Sean's is saying right

638
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: now that the Warriors. You know, hey, no hard feelings, man,

639
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: We'll work with you on this and we'll try and

640
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: get potentially something back. So that obviously opens up some possibilities.

641
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: But Clay gone, man.

642
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: But he's also waiting for Paul George. It seems like

643
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, and Paul George, as you said, making

644
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: these meetings happen on the Monday, why not make them now?

645
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: No, No, some are happening tonight. Oh it sounds like,

646
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: but Monday was thrown in there.

647
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 4: Monday.

648
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know he's got three teams at least

649
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: to meet with. It is old school man. We feel

650
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: like we don't have we don't have free agency meetings anymore.

651
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: It's been a minute.

652
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: This feels like mellow. I mean, not organizing a bunch

653
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: of meetings in different cities. It's been a while.

654
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: Now is he traveling to the cities? Is he staying

655
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: in La they come in to him. Are we're going

656
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: to the.

657
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: Hand of the podcast studio?

658
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 4: Oh?

659
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Right there on the podcast if we record this.

660
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: Darryl I was reading an article that said we haven't

661
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: had a Paul podcast since six days ago?

662
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: What is he waiting for?

663
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: Saying that, oh god, we don't need we don't need

664
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: it every single day. But was his last one saying

665
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: that Brownie reminds him a little bit of Drew Holiday.

666
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: Maybe it's been longer. Yeah, I don't know, maybe it's

667
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: been longer than that.

668
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: We well, we wait on some more news.

669
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 6: You got something Kevin Love. Kevin Love is going back

670
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 6: to the heat plus deal.

671
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: Okay eight for years, two years, two years years, two years,

672
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: eight So he declined his four million dollar player option

673
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: to sign to sign just another year.

674
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 4: It looks like.

675
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay for the exact same amount, but basically the

676
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: same amount. Yeah, Kevin loves Miami. You got excited when

677
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: I slipped in the Royce O'Neil forty years forty four million.

678
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: It was the opposite of excitement.

679
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: Oh you popped on it.

680
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I popped. Because this Phoenix Suns team is a

681
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: mystery to me. They keep paying these types of guys.

682
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Royce and Neil obviously is the type of guy they need.

683
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 4: But he is getting older.

684
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: I mean they're running the same back they're running. That

685
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: is what really options to.

686
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: The outside of trading. Of course, Kevin Durant.

687
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: Or de Booker.

688
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: They can trade some of the guys that they're paying

689
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: other than the top ones for somebody. Yeah, beyond the

690
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: big three. I know it's not they're not juicy names.

691
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: Somebody likes Grace Allen, somebody likes.

692
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: Their best Actually, nobody likes him.

693
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: But he can shoot.

694
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: You can shoot. They need a different mentality on the

695
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 2: other end, because that wasna happening this year, and that's

696
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: why Royce O'Neill is there, that's for sure.

697
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: They made their move. Their move was hey new coach. Yeah, yes, hey, Bud,

698
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: come on, save us man. Let's get this going and

699
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: let's try it again.

700
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: Here Royce for four years? Is I know it's it's

701
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: not a ton of money. When we're talking NBA money

702
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: and Matti should be I assume can afford it. They're

703
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: going to be grabbing minimum guys assume I guess, I

704
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: guess it's official. I mean it's Durant Beale, Booker, Nurkic, Allen,

705
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: Royce O'Neil, and there little David Roddy A bull Bowl

706
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: appears to be coming back. If I heard that, yeah, apparently,

707
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: and that's it.

708
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: Shocks pumped.

709
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 4: That's it.

710
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: Okay, same team drafted who Ryan Dunn defense guy? And

711
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: ohso Igadaro the trace Jackson Davis.

712
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: Of this draft.

713
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 4: So I'm a saying, oh, that's true.

714
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: The only reason I can see why Royce O'Neil gets

715
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: four years, forty four million is so that they can

716
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: trade it in the future because he gets He's not

717
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: like a playoff rotation guy. He'll probably be replaced as

718
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: a defensive guy by Ryan Dunn, I would imagine. But

719
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: an eleven million dollar contract is something that you can

720
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: get something back for.

721
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: At some point. Yeah, but all these guys are going

722
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: to play because they don't have a lot.

723
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: Of good yeah, exactly.

724
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll play the regular season. I agree. What do

725
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: you got here?

726
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 6: I was going to say, you guys were talking about

727
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 6: Clay trying to figure out what Paul George is going

728
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 6: to do. I see that he's listed his teams that

729
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 6: he wants to take meetings with, and is Thecks, the Lakers,

730
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 6: the Clippers, and the seventy six ers. So maybe he

731
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 6: is trying to see where Paul George is going. Maybe

732
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 6: they can do the team imber.

733
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: Something like, yeah, yeah, he did those names.

734
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 4: He listed those teams.

735
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: So that's that's from Clay.

736
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 6: From WOJ, MAVs, Lakers, Clippers, and seventy six Ers.

737
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: That's Clay.

738
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 4: That's Clay.

739
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right. Also seeing WOJ, these are sort

740
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: of minor moves here. The Magic are declining move Wagner's

741
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: eight million dollar team option.

742
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, they want to sign this this

743
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: what's going on? Musk?

744
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Your Twitter is broken?

745
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 6: Man?

746
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: You got fake washed?

747
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: No, I didn't get fake washed. Refreshing Woj's uh you

748
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: know a thread whatever? Count Yeah, it's suddenly jumped till

749
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: like June twenty ninth. What's going on here? What's going

750
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: on here? But now I see that Klay Thompson tweet there.

751
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, they Wagner is going to get signed again.

752
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure it feels like, but that is actually happening

753
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: in that he's not getting the same he's not getting

754
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: a contract. Is he declining his his own Magic?

755
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: Were sorry the Magic, We're declining Joe Ingles eleven million

756
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: dollars option. They're they're expecting to have dialogue and probably

757
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: come to a deal and then uh yeah, the move Wagner.

758
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: They also declined his eight million dollars team option, which

759
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: is that old damn tweet that just popped up for

Speaker 1: me for some reason. And they're gonna work on a

761
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: new deal. So that's what's going on in Orlanto in

762
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: case you were wondering. But yeah, otherwise you're telling.

00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good backup big absolutely they should try.

767
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: And his brother as one of the stars on the team.

768
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's like yeah, good energy guy, yeah, good

769
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: trash talker.

770
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, he's good to draft if you have

771
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: the uh the flagrant fountain, flagrant foul counts or whatever

772
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,480

773
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,680

Speaker 1: Okay, how about this?

775
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: Chris Haynes reported that the Bulls proposed Andrew Wiggins and

776
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: Chris Paul for Zach Lavine. Golden State said no and

777
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 3: waived Chris Paul.

778
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: Damn. They didn't want Zach. They didn't want Zach Lavine.

779
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: Hmm.

780
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: They love Clay, they love club but yeah, but he

781
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: ain't coming back.

782
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 4: Man, You never know. You never know.

783
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: You never know come back, you never know. But wow, Okay,

784
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: so it was out there and it was proposed. What

785
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: about the pick? Was the pick attached like get rid

786
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: of that's what they're saying, Warriors.

787
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: The Warriors would say, yeah, then the Bulls would have

788
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: Andrew Wiggins for three years because he's got three years

789
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 2: of his contract left, so they wouldn't be retooling or tanking.

790
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's sort of would have wigs. Yeah, yeah,

791
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: Wiggins and Giddy. That's a built in take. I guess

792
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: he's Canadian Australian tank job right there.

793
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 4: It's good, I guess.

794
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. But Levine only has two years left. You're gonna

795
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: have WIGGI for more two plus an option, but Zach

796
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: makes more. Anyways, if we're getting into the minutia, as

797
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: we do, as you've got to, you got to, you

798
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 2: have to. You guys want to break down the new

799
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: salary cap. No, I don't get it. I don't.

800
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: I didn't want to ask you because you said Chris

801
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: Haynes had that last one. Yeah, obviously it's Wojn Schaum's one, two,

802
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: whatever order you want to put them in as your

803
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: go to Twitter accounts for breaking news, especially when it

804
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: comes to free agency. Who's three, four to five? Who

805
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: fills out your top five? Like? Who are your like

806
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: must fall accounts? So Chris Hanes got to be The

807
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: mixed draft starts at three, is what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

808
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: Mark Stein's in the mix. Mark in the mix. They

809
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: call him Mark Steyed is a good one. Especially I

810
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: do not subscribe to the substack, so I need all

811
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: those tweets. I need him to be aggregated.

812
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: Can I give you just a touch of mark Stein?

813
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 4: Juicy? Juicy?

814
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: Because as we talked about some disliking the fact that

815
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: everybody here, you read something about a player signing. Quite

816
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: often it's the agent who was mentioned. Yeah, of course,

817
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: Well I like this juice from Mark Stein because this

818
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 2: is d Derek Jones Jr. Was leaving his longtime agent

819
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Turner a couple days ago, and he'll be represented

820
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 2: by Clutch. But the NBA requires fifteen days before signing

821
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: with another rep, so Derek Jones Junior won't have a

822
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: rep for the next twelve days. Thanks Mark Stein. That's

823
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: the most interesting agent news I've ever got.

824
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: So I can't go from I can't immediately change representation now.

825
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 2: It takes two weeks, some fifteen days, half a month,

826
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: so I'm surprised. I guess Eric Jones Junior realized, Hey,

827
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: Dallas wants me back. Why aren't you eron Turner getting

828
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: me more money? Seems like it came down to the

829
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: wire here and he said, no way, Rich Paul get

830
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 2: me more money, which I guess probably will happen proper.

831
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: Eric led, Yeah, I mean though the Derek Jones Jr.

832
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: Of it all wasn't there like a tweet now, I

833
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: can't remember the order. I guess it was. The order

834
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: was growing optimism he'll stay with Dallas, And then I

835
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: felt like twelve years later, twelve hours later, Yeah, growing optimism.

836
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: He might be leaving for you know, obviously a more

837
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: juicy paycheck or something like that. So it changes quickly, yeah,

838
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: very quickly. Here as we have now hit the official

839
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: start of a free agency.

840
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: Sorry I cut you off. I don't know if you've

841
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,040

00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: uh Cunningham, that was mine.

889

00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: Are looking to trade Ben Simmons. According to Mike Scotto, listen,

892
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: I'm a Johnny holly Man. I've got him in the

893
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 2: old chat.

894
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: You have a personal chet.

895
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: No, I didn't, I didn't know no one.

896
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: You wanted to talk about the Sellary cap.

897
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 2: I actually I said it. I didn't want to say that.

898
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: The the the computer program that we all use. I

899
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: don't know why I don't want to say it.

900
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 4: It's called slack.

901
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: But I did want to say this from John Hollinger

902
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: because Hollinger.

903
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: Didn't really peel him back the curtain.

904
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want a curtain because Hollinger did say I

905
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: just wanted to correct what I read from John Hollander.

906
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: Just that just didn't follow through on the read. Because Lebron,

907
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: according to you know, according to this as I said,

908
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: he will be willing to take a fifty million dollars

909
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 2: car if he if he is, if he is, they

910
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,479
Speaker 2: could trade it him for excuse me, they could trade

911
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: Ruyacha Mura, Christian Wood. Schaffino gave e Vincent and a

912
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine pick for Jeremy Grant. But then they

913
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 2: resigned Max christ Christy at or near the minimum. But

914
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: they've already signed Max Christy to four for thirty two.

915
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe that's maybe that idea for Jeremy Grant.

916
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me d John Twitter.

917
00:40:59,080 --> 00:40:59,840

00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: it cool. I didn't even make a big scene about it.

00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: But there's another one. Yeah, I got it. I came,

Speaker 1: on and on. We got Will Giliary with the Pelicans,

933
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You gotta follow all these people. You

934
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: gotta stay on top of it. I had a good

935
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: read of Will Guillory today. He was talking about the

936
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: de Jonte Murray trade. Thought he made some good points.

937
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: Gonna get that before we do. We got to take

938
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: a break as well. But I want to ask you.

939
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: You know, we're obviously waiting on Paul George, We're waiting

940
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: on some of the bigger names. Is there an underrated

941
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: free agent that you think could be a difference maker

942
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: or someone to watch as we move forward here? As

943
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: we've started now the official free agency.

944
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 3: A guy that I have mild interest in for the

945
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls is Jalen Smith.

946
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh, Jalo Smith.

947
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a good blot of talk, Dan Cucutts, Yeah,

948
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 3: Jalen Smith of the Indiana Pacers. He was the tenth

949
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: overall picking the twenty twenty draft. He had a better

950
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 3: season playing for Indiana this year's decent last season as well.

951
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good situation for putting up numbers. You

952
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 3: just run, you get open. I'm Tyre's Halliburton.

953
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 2: We'll find you.

954
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 3: I think that's probably what happened. But he's still only

955
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: twenty four years old. Who knows. The Bulls need some athleticism,

956
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: They need some big guys. So I would take a

957
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 3: chance with him as a guy coming off the bench.

958
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: Yep, that's going Tyas Jones jumps out to me. Just

959
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: to be that guy who brings up the ball in

960
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 2: a playoff game. He could be what the Wolves were

961
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: hoping they'd get from Monte Morris. Monty Morris also a

962
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 2: free agent people are talking about out there to jump around.

963
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: We just mentioned Chris all leaving Golden State. Someone's gonna

964
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: sign him. I don't think he's retiring by any means.

965
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: He's gonna sign him to be there, be their backup

966
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: guard number one and to just be in the locker

967
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: room to help things out.

968
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 6: What about Chris Paul to San Antonio, Yeah, think about that,

969
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 6: Like they always talk about being the point guard leadership

970
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 6: obviously the young team, Chris Paul being with Wimby kind

971
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 6: a parent up there, not you know, not like the

972
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 6: point guard of future anything by him any means obviously,

973
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 6: But if he wants to.

974
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: Give up on winning, then he'd go he's not gonna win.

975
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but he's yeah, he's not gonna

976
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 6: win anyway. I don't think I don't think he's going

977
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 6: anywhere and he's gonna get it.

978
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: I'm just happy you said it.

979
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: Man, he's cursed. But like you could go to a

980
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: good team like the Denver Nuggets apparently want Vassilia Meetic

981
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 2: from the Charlotte Hornets to be their backup guard because

982
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 2: they just traded away Reggie Jackson. They want Michich who's

983
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: solid for Okay, see I'm then traded to Charlotte.

984
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: When he got an opportunity and then the season he

985
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: was putting up some stats.

986
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's who they're looking at. I mean, Chris

987
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 2: Paul could be their backup guard as well.

988
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: Gonna need a guard after if they lose Contavious called

989
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: wop here, which is a huge blow obviously to their

990
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: chances to try and get back to a title.

991
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: I do like the Ridge ball contracted he got Knavis.

992
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 2: It seemed like a lot of money way back when Yeah,

993
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 2: after winning a championship with the Lakers, but he paid off.

994
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Tys jones Y is a Wizards point guard. In case

995
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: you didn't know, he had a career year which is

996
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: wild twelve seven and three didn't drop in efficiency despite starting,

997
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: because that was like, Okay, maybe this guy is like

998
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: really just a perennial backup, but maybe he is moving forward,

999
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: but for his efficiency to go up across the board.

1000
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: Did you get the fruit lift? Nope? And then I

1001
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: came into your cares double there's two of them, No

1002
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: wonder they feel like they're everywhere. What's going on? JD?

1003
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: You got fruit lying around? You got a fruit lying

1004
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: around somewhere?

1005
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 5: Yes, I have a lot of fruit lying around.

1006
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 2: Have you met my family their slabs?

1007
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? I know, I know.

1008
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 2: We didn't get a report on your wound on your face?

1009
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 4: JD. Fresh, where is it?

1010
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1011
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: Oh wow?

1012
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 2: It tacked by my own dog.

1013
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: No, yeah, she was okay, bamn.

1014
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 5: Boxers, man, They're called boxers for a reason. I punch

1015
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 5: in the face every once in a while.

1016
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: Jesus all right, Aaron Gordon style?

1017
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah that was Christmas, Yeah, like playing Christmas

1018
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: Night and then dog modeed.

1019
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: I heard it showed up Justice Santa, then Doug Guts Spooks.

1020
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I still look like maybe dogs don't

1021
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: like Santa anyway. Tys Jones I think could be a

1022
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: Spurs fit as well. I mean, if you do want

1023
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: just sort of like a guy that never turns the

1024
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: ball over. He has a seven point three assist to

1025
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: turnover ratio, which is like the best by far for

1026
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: anyone that's played in a lot of games. And the Wizards,

1027
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: believe it or not, were actually they were better when

1028
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: he was out there running the offense. That shouldn't be

1029
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: a surprise because again, his field goal percentage went up,

1030
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: his three point percentage went up, his effective field goal percentage,

1031
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: they all went up despite starting and playing more minutes.

1032
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive. So yeah, I think the magic possibility.

1033
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: Maybe the Pelicans, depending on what they do, Spurs could

1034
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: be a fit. Other guys who with his brother right

1035
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: right right, we talked about Derek Jones Junior. I mean

1036
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: he's maybe an underrated free agent to watch Chris Dunn

1037
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: throw him in the mix. There possibility drum in some people.

1038
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: If you need like the big to stop up some

1039
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: minutes and uh, Haywood high Smith. Well, I think I

1040
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: thought I saw a rumor before we went live. Maybe

1041
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: the Jazz were showing interest in him, I can't remember,

1042
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: or maybe the Thunder I can't remember, but he's obviously

1043
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: maybe an underrated free agent as well. Any news anything,

1044
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 1: big Dogs.

1045
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 6: The only thing I see over here is the Jazz

1046
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 6: are planning to wave omer jertzivin.

1047
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: Oh that yurt he used to play for the Heat

1048
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: He did, Yeah, wasn't he? Did? He wear number seventy seven?

1049
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: I think so? Yeah, respect I like that. All right,

1050
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break here, and when we come back,

1051
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 1: we can talk about the Pelicans Hawks trade, and maybe

1052
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: we can talk about the lowry market and trade rumors

1053
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: and any other news. But let's take a quick break.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

1075
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about the trade that happened

1076
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: on Friday night. You guys did an emergency podcast. The

1077
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: Pelicans added to Jonte Murray to their back court h

1078
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 1: through a trade with the Hawks. There the pelsent Larry Nance,

1079
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 1: Junior Dice and Daniel's EJ. Liddell plus two first round picks,

1080
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: a twenty five selection by way of the Lakers, and

1081
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: a twenty seven selection which is the least favorable from

1082
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: either Milwaukee or New Orleans own to atl for the

1083
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: mustard Man, Jonte Murray a task. You were just surprised

1084
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: me on that e mergency pod. You actually you were

1085
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: calling it basically a win win. You liked it from

1086
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: the Pelican side of things. Yeah, and then the Hawks

1087
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: side of things, you thought it wasn't that bad a

1088
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: return them obviously making a decision, we're gonna we got

1089
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 1: to trade one of these guys, be it Tray Younger

1090
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: to John Tay Murray. They may not be done trading. Yeah,

1091
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: and it's possibility still, but yeah, have you changed your

1092
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: opinion on that at all? But or still like it

1093
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: for both sides here? Yeah.

1094
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: People definitely got angry at me and said, come on,

1095
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 2: I'm a Hawks fan. That sucks. We want more than

1096
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 2: that for John Timurray. But I was looking at it

1097
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 2: from the mindset of the front office. You'd want to

1098
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: go basically and tear it all down. Is that the

1099
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: idea and try and get better through the draft in

1100
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: the coming years, or do you want to try and

1101
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: do what you did a few years ago, try and

1102
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 2: rely on Trey Young and get you to listen, it

1103
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 2: was like a wonderful Cinderella effect where they got to

1104
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 2: the conference finals.

1105
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 4: And when you're going and relying on.

1106
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 2: Trey it's very difficult to win in the NBA, that

1107
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: is for sure. You don't really win if you're relying

1108
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 2: on a small guard as you're guarded. To me, it

1109
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: reminds me of Damian Lillard in Portland. They got to

1110
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 2: a conference finals, and to me, I think that was

1111
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 2: the option for Atlanta, and I think I would be

1112
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: fine with that. What they did in twenty twenty one.

1113
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't have to be the exact same team.

1114
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 4: But basically it was pretty similar.

1115
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 2: They had bugged them by damage just like they do now,

1116
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 2: the Clink Capello, just like they do now. They had

1117
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 2: Dean Johnder who got hurt, just like they do now.

1118
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: Obviously John Collins left and now they have Jalen Johnson.

1119
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: You know it is going back and will he be

1120
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: able to do it again? I just think they have

1121
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 2: they can build around Trey Young. It's got to be

1122
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: a different mindset, different team. And I think Deane de

1123
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 2: Chante Murray and what they got for.

1124
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 4: Him, I think he's just a little bit overrated.

1125
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 2: And Trey Young's the other way. He's a little underrated.

1126
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: And so I mean, I don't expect them to be

1127
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 2: much more than a forty five win team, but I

1128
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: do expect them to be a different team that plays defense.

1129
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm a little excited on the vacuum on

1130
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 2: Dyson Daniels.

1131
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited. That was a big part of it. I thought,

1132
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: in listening to you guys, do that emergency. Okay, It

1133
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: does change your perspective on the trade if you are

1134
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: a Dyson Daniels fan or if you're a believer and

1135
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, because then you're looking at like he's basically

1136
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: the first round pick, and now it's almost three first

1137
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: round picks, Like you can talk yourself into that. But

1138
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: I just wonder, like the Hawks rip the band aid off,

1139
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 1: so to speak, right making the decision to trade one

1140
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: of their backcourt guys. But do you just amputee the

1141
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: whole damn arm and just trade Tree Young as well

1142
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: and really lean into your number one draft pick Jalen Johnson,

1143
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: Dyson Daniels is Young, Kobe Buffkin and then whatever picks

1144
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: you have coming up, Like that's a hell of a decision.

1145
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: It feels like one even that Atlanta wouldn't make because

1146
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: it's like, who the hell is going to go down

1147
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: to the fortress? I mean, if they're like an eighteen

1148
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: win team type thing and they're really really bad, maybe

1149
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: it's the right decision. Diyson Daniels fans, Maybe Tass will

1150
00:50:58,480 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: be there with his Daniels Jersey.

1151
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he can. Listen.

1152
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: They didn't have a great defense for the last few years,

1153
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 2: and when you have Trey Young as your guy, you

1154
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 2: need those types of guys. Yeah, but it is scary.

1155
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: It is scary going forward. DeAndre Hunter as your number three,

1156
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: he was always injured. Clincopella is getting older. It is scary.

1157
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 4: I get it.

1158
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 3: You say they're a different team, but then you also

1159
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 3: list all the guys from twenty twenty one.

1160
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: They're all still there.

1161
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna be four years older by the time the

1162
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 3: playoffs roller.

1163
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: They're not a different team. That's the problem. They're going

1164
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: to be the exact same team. It's not going to

1165
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 1: be too bad. It's not going to be too good.

1166
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 2: And Jalen Johnson's okay, Jayleen Johnson, Look, you're big.

1167
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: Jay for john Collins is the big, big big really,

1168
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

1169
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 3: I think considering the Hawks let it get to this

1170
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 3: point with des Jonte Murray, this was the best they

1171
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 3: could do, getting a couple of decent uh first round

1172
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 3: picks that hopefully convey and hopefully are like in the teams.

1173
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 3: I guess they could get really lucky if the Lakers

1174
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 3: one hits. But the thing with Trey I agree that

1175
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 3: at this point it makes the most sense to completely

1176
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: start over and rebuild. But the only trade they can

1177
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 3: make is with the Spurs because the Spurs had their

1178
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 3: draft pick in twenty five, twenty six, yep, and twenty seven,

1179
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 3: so they need that trade. Literally, that's the only trade

1180
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 3: they could make to have it make sense. Otherwise there's

1181
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 3: no point in being the worst team in the league

1182
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 3: because then another team just gets your top five draft pick.

1183
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the and the Spurs could next seasons. Yeah,

1184
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: the Spurs could get there with I think like Devonte

1185
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: Graham's contract, Zach Collins contract, Trey Jones contract, Like you

1186
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: could get to Young's what he make like forty three

1187
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: to forty four millions, So you could get there. Obviously'd

1188
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: be giving all the picks back and stuff like that,

1189
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: and that's why the Hawks would do it. It just then

1190
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: gets into like, do the Spurs want Tree Young? Is

1191
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: that a guy you want as your point guard? With

1192
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 1: web Min Yama, you see some people say yeah, of course,

1193
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: oh my god, especially the names I.

1194
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 3: Just gave you, Well, yeah, they were that. Yeah, they

1195
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 3: would only be trading picks, really totally. Those are just

1196
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: literally just contracts to make it work. But Trey Young

1197
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,479
Speaker 3: to me, doesn't feel like a San Antono.

1198
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: I know that's why.

1199
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Greg Popovic cut him from USA World

1200
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 3: Cop in twenty nineteen for Derek White oddly enough back

1201
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 3: in the day, so I don't necessarily see that as

1202
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 3: a fit culture wise for Trey Young.

1203
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: What do you think ash about the Pelicans Hawks trade.

1204
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: You're here in Atlanta Fortress once upon.

1205
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 6: A time, Well, everybody's always talking about we had to

1206
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 6: do something to break up those two.

1207
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 4: One of those guys had to leave.

1208
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 6: We've been talking about it all this past season, thinking

1209
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 6: Dejonte was going to go to the Lakers or maybe

1210
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 6: Trey Young to the Lakers or the Spurs. And now

1211
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 6: with Dejonte being gone, it's like, Okay, we picked a direction.

1212
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 6: Like Task was saying, we've got Trey Young to be

1213
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 6: our point guard. We have to make other moves though,

1214
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,919
Speaker 6: like we can't run back the same team we've got

1215
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 6: Resa Chet don't know what he's going to be like

1216
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 6: coming in. DeAndre Hunter, I feel like has to be gone.

1217
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: We have to have somebody in that.

1218
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 6: Spot to be a lot more consistent than DeAndrea Hunter,

1219
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 6: and you know Johnson, he's okay. Clint Capela, I'm sure

1220
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 6: it's going to be gone, probably either in the summer

1221
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 6: here or by the trade deadline, I'm sure with O

1222
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 6: kunglu So, I don't know.

1223
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: We picked a direction.

1224
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 6: We don't have to argue, well, whose team is it now,

1225
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 6: because you could hear rumblings from the Atlanta fans all

1226
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 6: the time which one is it? So we got Trey,

1227
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 6: let's move forward with it. Let's get off his back.

1228
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe we can do something.

1229
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny with Dean Johnder because he puts some

1230
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: numbers and he does well, and then he misses a

1231
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 2: lot of time. He just he just continues to miss

1232
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 2: time year after year. I mean back in the twenty

1233
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 2: one playoffs, they're starting Solomon Hill for a while at

1234
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 2: the small forward spot that was happening, and then Camp

1235
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 2: Reddish came on.

1236
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 4: He looked awesome for a while.

1237
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 2: He was guarding really really well in that Bucks series,

1238
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 2: guarding Chris Middleton. But yes, so the young guys have

1239
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 2: to really it's up to Jalen Johnson, I think, to

1240
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 2: really move this thing forward. And it just seems like

1241
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: Trey and the way that they handshake on the floor

1242
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 2: every single time.

1243
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:51,720
Speaker 4: They're really buds.

1244
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how much Jalen Johnson evolves because what

1245
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 2: John Collins had back then was I was they had

1246
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 2: an attitude that was a different team. And just Quinn

1247
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 2: Snyder though, is what he did with Donovan Mitchell in

1248
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 2: Utah's It seems like something that he could do with

1249
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 2: Trio depends on the guys around him. But you know,

1250
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 2: I just don't know if you just tear it down

1251
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 2: and just check it out, Like what do you guys

1252
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 2: think From the New Orleans.

1253
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: Side, I love it. I think they got him for

1254
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: very little. They can't score in the fourth quarters to

1255
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: John Y Murray's clutch. Like I at times, he was

1256
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: better than treyon a lot of times this year for

1257
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: the Hawks, So I think he'll help in that department.

1258
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: You'd like to see him like get a little more

1259
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: locked in defensively because that was a big part of it.

1260
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: We're like we were like, oh, yeah, what a perfect

1261
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: guard to put alongside Treyon. This guy's like really good defensively.

1262
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: He wasn't, no, I mean, he wasn't as good as

1263
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: he was at least in the Spur system. Now is

1264
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 1: that a Spur system thing? Is that because he wasn't

1265
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: asked to do as much offensively? Who knows, but you'd

1266
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: like to see him try and get back to a

1267
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: little bit more on that end of the floor. But

1268
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: he will also have to be the best defender for

1269
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: the Pelicans, like that's Herb Jones like if he's there,

1270
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: So I really like to fit in New Orleans. Gonna

1271
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,479
Speaker 1: wait to sort of see what they do with Brandon

1272
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: Ingram and what that. I don't see how they don't

1273
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: take a fit at all.

1274
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 3: I think Murray and Ingram said player, but one is

1275
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 3: four inches taller. Yeah, yeah, So I think he's got

1276
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 3: to go. And I think they got to figure out

1277
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 3: what they do with CJ. McCollum as well, because he's

1278
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 3: a guy. He did a pretty solid job playing off

1279
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 3: the ball. And that's the big thing is that the

1280
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 3: Pelicans are actually getting a point guard. De Jonte Murray

1281
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 3: will handle the ball quite a bit. I don't know

1282
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 3: if that means that Zion doesn't have the ball quite

1283
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 3: as often, but you should have contingency plans as well.

1284
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 3: So I think they need to trade Brandon Ingram for

1285
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 3: a center because they had none on the roster except

1286
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 3: for a nineteen year old, So yeah, Brook Lopez maybe

1287
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 3: makes sense there, and maybe Jared Allen, I know, is

1288
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 3: somebody that the Pelicans would like to have as well.

1289
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 3: So if you can, if either if either the Bucks

1290
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 3: or the Calves want to pay this giant extension to

1291
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 3: brandon Ingram, there could be a trade there.

1292
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 2: Right.

1293
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: We have something here from Cham's it's about a center

1294
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: in free agency with cap space teams. Orlando focused on

1295
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: wing free agents and Utah focused on cur roster decisions

1296
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: and the Knicks working to un hardcap. Sources say the

1297
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: Thunder are in Eugene, Oregon, set to meet with Isaiah Hartenstein.

1298
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: They are meeting with iHeart. I thought this would be

1299
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: maybe one that was like literally six oh one hits

1300
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: and it was like Thunder signing Isaiah Hartenstein to you know,

1301
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: four years, one hundred and twenty million or whatever the heck.

1302
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: But obviously they have him as a target and it

1303
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: makes sense that's exactly who they could use. And so

1304
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna meet with them. Corden chumps, They're.

1305
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 3: Gonna meet with them. Everybody likes to get a meeting.

1306
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 3: They will always take the meeting. You know, Paul George

1307
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 3: could easily just decide where he wants to go. But

1308
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 3: it's fun to be wooed. Oh Isaiah Hartenstein, he knows

1309
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: the deal that's coming from the Knicks. What was it,

1310
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 3: four years seventy eight is the max they could offer him.

1311
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 3: We'll see what the Thunder can do. But obviously they

1312
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 3: can beat the Knicks offer if they want to. So

1313
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 3: it'll be dollars or comfort. Because the Knicks gave him

1314
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 3: a bigger role. He was awesome as a starter. He

1315
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 3: will still be getting a raise from the Knicks, just

1316
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 3: he could be get a bigger race from a team like

1317
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 3: the Thunder.

1318
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, after all that the Knicks have done with Michael

1319
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 2: Bridges signing O G.

1320
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 4: It feels like.

1321
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 2: Harnscheine Mago depending on how much he can get from

1322
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 2: somewhere else, or maybe he's just having a meeting, but

1323
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: that would fit so well because you know, they need size.

1324
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 2: They need size, and although chet Holgrin is their starting

1325
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 2: center and is a monstrous man giving away Josh Getty

1326
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 2: did limit their their size, which was already an issue.

1327
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: But Hernstein know he could be the backup five and

1328
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 2: then finish games. I mean because what they're really in

1329
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: need of is another like a guy who could finish,

1330
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 2: and it could be Caruso. Obviously there's no problem. But

1331
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 2: instead of Dort, you could have a Hardenstein Chet combo.

1332
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: You nice to have the option to go big, yets,

1333
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: ye lots, because Chet, despite being obviously huge, I mean,

1334
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: he's a different player than Isaia Hertenstein and that's fine,

1335
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: but man, I think he'd be awesome in Okay. See,

1336
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm like confident this one is going to happened, Like

1337
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: they're going to just like come in with a pretty

1338
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: damn good deal for him. I'm trying. I'm trying to

1339
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: blank who recently got four for one hundred million? Thank you?

1340
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah. So okay, I mean, I know he's

1341
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: younger and all that, probably not even by that much's

1342
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: a weird guy. He's like he feels way older but

1343
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: he's not. But anyway, so that's sort of okay. They're

1344
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: sort of setting your market, you know a little bit.

1345
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: So that's something obviously, Okay, see could do Uh you

1346
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: want to get some one of the other news, Well,

1347
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: we wait on Paul George. We're just waiting on. Yeah,

1348
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: we gotta make a decision. How long we're gonna go here.

1349
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: We will give it another twenty thirty minutes maybe, But

1350
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: we do have some other news. Let's just go to

1351
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: it and uh, you know, interrupt me, esh if anything

1352
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: comes across.

1353
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 6: I'll just say before you go that one thing I've

1354
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 6: seen is Buttom is not returning to the seventy six ers,

1355
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 6: so he is free agent.

1356
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I saw that too, and I had already

1357
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 2: excuse me forgotten about him.

1358
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean.

1359
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: Let him go.

1360
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 2: He hit big shots. Yeah, I guess he's getting more

1361
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 2: money from elsewhere. I mean, they're waiting to sign Paul

1362
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: George to a max and maybe can't give but two

1363
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 2: more than the minimum.

1364
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: But like you said, Paul George was talking up but

1365
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: too and Covington when he was obviously with the Clipper. Yeah,

1366
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: he was saying like, yeah, man, once those guys left

1367
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: me and Cou, I had to do the dirty work,

1368
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Like oh, I don't want to. Well, you get you do,

1369
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,959
Speaker 1: get paid a lot of money. Maybe do a little

1370
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: bit of it. But anyway. The big news today was

1371
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons are finalizing a deal with former Calves

1372
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: coach JB. Bickerstaff to be their next head coach just

1373
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: a week after firing Mani Williams. So, I guess Kenny

1374
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Atkinson Calves coach JB. Bickerstaff moving from Cleveland, he is

1375
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: going to be Detroit's head coach. Your thoughts where does

1376
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: James Beret go?

1377
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, When I was the leader here

1378
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 3: for a while and then Trajan Langdon took over the

1379
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 3: job and now suddenly its JB. Bickerstaff going from the

1380
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 3: Caves to the Pistons kind of weird to me.

1381
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a little ye. The Pistons love to

1382
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: hire a guy that's been fired with like Dwayne Casey,

1383
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Manny Williams now Bickerstaff. Yeah, it wasn't. This sort of

1384
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. Absolutely. I was like, well, okay,

1385
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: JB's getting I think it's like a four or five

1386
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: year deal. I think the Athletic was saying four years.

1387
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: I think what was at five years? So it's not

1388
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: like short by any means. That's sort of I think

1389
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: now just a going rate for most of these coaches,

1390
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: especially someone's been coaching for a while and coach a

1391
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: lot of teams. But what do you think of this

1392
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: move from Langdon?

1393
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Brego side is interesting. I wonder how much

1394
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 2: they actually really really wanted him. I saw within within

1395
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: a Slack accountant that I'm a member of that James

1396
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 2: Edwards did mention that the fact that he has been

1397
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 2: withdrawn is a little bit too much because they weren't

1398
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 2: really looking for him, is the whole implication. And JB,

1399
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 2: I guess, as you said, they do like a guy

1400
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 2: who's fired. Now, he did turn the Cavs around big time.

1401
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: You know, his first full season was a twenty two

1402
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 2: and fifty and then they won forty four games, then

1403
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 2: they acquired Donovan Mitchell, they won the fifty one games,

1404
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 2: and then you know, then.

1405
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: He gets fired and the hit piece came out away. Yeah,

1406
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: that the veterans, at least in the Cav's locker room

1407
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: were butting heads with them, and I think, actually, this

1408
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: will be a good team for him, because I remember

1409
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: that that report was they thought the veterans in the

1410
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: cas locker room thought Bickerstaff was treating them like a

1411
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: young team and then you know they had to learn

1412
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: and stuff like that and not not like a team

1413
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: like maybe ready to contend and a little more ahead

1414
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: of schedule. So Bickerstaff is now with a young team,

1415
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: so maybe this is a better fit for him. I

1416
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:26,919
Speaker 1: don't think he's a terrible coach by any means.

1417
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 2: No, he turned around a Cavs team when they were

1418
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 2: a young team, right, right. But he may get fired

1419
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 2: in a few years, because as an.

1420
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: NBA head coach, he will get fired years. Set the

1421
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: line at two and a half two and a half season,

1422
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: you can set it up, yeah, overunder.

1423
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 2: But if he gets them to a play in tournament position,

1424
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 2: that's a it's a hell of achievement.

1425
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: So the bar could not possibly be lower. How many

1426
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: games did they win?

1427
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 6: Four?

1428
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: This is year six of the rebuild for Detroit. Yeah,

1429
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: coach three. I am with you, though, it's like it's uninspiring.

1430
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: It's a safe it's a safe pick, right. But Trajan

1431
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Langdon comes in here as the franchise's new president of

1432
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: basketball operations. He basically sort of revamps the front office

1433
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: that was good, see you later, Troy Weaver, and then

1434
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: fires the head coach, and then obviously it gets his

1435
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: new head coach here. They need to Yeah, this has

1436
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: been a long time and them being bad. They need

1437
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: to start seeing some development with their young guys. And

1438
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: hopefully bickerstaff can can help them get there.

1439
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 2: There's some hot rumors Colbo Pope going back to Detroit

1440
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 2: where he used to play.

1441
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 4: But why would he want to go back there?

1442
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, get the paycheck. The paycheck young sounds like

1443
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: a leverage leak to me. Yep, possible.

1444
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 3: He's got cap space. I could go sign there. You

1445
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 3: better pay me a little bit more.

1446
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: In other news, you sort of slipped it in earlier.

1447
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Canadian Olympic basketball team GM Rowan Barrett said Friday that

1448
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Golden State is blocking Andrew Wiggins from competing in Paris,

1449
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: while the Warriors countered. It was a mutual decision between

1450
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the team and Andrew Wiggins was among the twenty players

1451
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: who received invitations to camp to determm in the Olympic team.

1452
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 3: UH.

1453
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: A lot of Canadian basketball fans upset with this task,

1454
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: not happy with Steve Kurr, not happy with the Warriors

1455
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: basically right before they started training camp. That was sort

1456
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: of the weird part that it was like suddenly like, no,

1457
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: you can't go and you're not playing for them. What

1458
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: was your takeaway?

1459
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 2: Obviously a little disappointment, but at the same time, the

1460
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 2: team that played last year without him was fantastic.

1461
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 4: They were so good. Yeah, and so yes, it would

1462
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 4: be nice to get peak.

1463
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: Wick, but they could use some size and some wing.

1464
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, loud Dort, it's gonna be a lot to be

1465
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 2: asked about for him to uh to produce and fire

1466
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 2: away from three point Land.

1467
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 4: Hopefully he hits them, but they have, you know they have.

1468
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 2: That's that's where they're lacking, is the wings and bigger

1469
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 2: and the and the actual big man the center spot

1470
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 2: going up against if we're talking we're talking big, we're

1471
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 2: talking about going up against the USA, the Kelly Olinick,

1472
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 2: Dwight Powell.

1473
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Zach Edy, no Zach Edy knowledge.

1474
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's disappointing, that's for sure.

1475
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 2: But we don't know what Wiggins were going to get anyway,

1476
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 2: because Wiggins was not good to see. We know that

1477
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 2: that's fairly clear.

1478
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean the part I hate about this is

1479
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: they're pretending it was the reason as a medical decision,

1480
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: but it's just like, no, we're just trying to trade him,

1481
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: so like they're just you're lying because Barrett said, this

1482
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: is not an Andrew decision, this was a team decision.

1483
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: This was not mutual. And the weird part to me

1484
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: a little bit is like maybe this gets Andrew Wiggins

1485
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: going a little bit, like it could work out for

1486
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: the Warriors if he continues to stay there under the contract.

1487
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: I know you're trying to trade him. You do risk

1488
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: him getting injured, but like, I don't know, maybe unlock something.

1489
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: He sort of gets his mojo back a little bit

1490
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: by making the team, playing in Paris and stuff like that.

1491
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: But it's just unfortunate because they could use them. He

1492
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: would have made the team that he could have. He's

1493
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: an NBA player, despite all his faults, he's still really

1494
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: good and he would have had a roll at least.

1495
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, they won't have him. Steve Kurtz just afraid

1496
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: we might see Andrew Wiggins revenge game against me. And

1497
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: I guess silver in Paris so sort of sucks and

1498
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: they'll steals try and trade him. But the Zach Edy thing, Yeah,

1499
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: that's a that's a bumber. Two. You have any thoughts

1500
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: on Team Canada? No, I think this is good for Wiggins.

1501
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 3: Good for Wiggins to not play, Yes, Why so if

1502
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 3: it goes poorly, he would get blamed for showing up

1503
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 3: for the first time, messing with the chemistry, not reducing.

1504
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: It could have gone poorly for him. Yeah, I think

1505
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: I think better off without Wiggins, to be quite honest,

1506
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: for both sides. Uh.

1507
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did struggle this year and he wasn't guaranteed

1508
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 2: to make the team.

1509
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 4: Even if he was.

1510
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 2: This was a tryout.

1511
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: I think he was.

1512
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 4: The word was tryout.

1513
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 2: Now, with the talent he'd be going up against, maybe

1514
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 2: we just would have made it no matter what. And

1515
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 2: he has put through a lot of years playing for Canada.

1516
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the last he played it was for an Olympic

1517
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: qualifying tournament in twenty twenty one that they came up

1518
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: short in that. Not like he was given the blame

1519
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but this is the first time

1520
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: Canada has been in the Olympics for men's basketball since

1521
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 1: two thousand. Uh And if I remember, in the summer

1522
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, Canada did that they asked all

1523
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: these players, Hey, we need the three year commitment, right,

1524
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: you got attend summertime camps in order to play for

1525
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: the Olympics if we make it. And he didn't make

1526
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: that commitment because the Warriors were exactly the Warriors were

1527
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: in the in their championship run. He was one year

1528
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: away from an unrestricted free agency, so there was that

1529
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: part of the equation as well, and so you know,

1530
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just it's just unfortunately he can't

1531
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: play or it won't be playing. Final piece of news

1532
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: news Tyre's Haliburton Jillen Brunson made appearances on ww He's

1533
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: SmackDown at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. We had

1534
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Haliburton as a heel. He was like teamed up with

1535
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Logan Paul and then Jillen Brunson coming to the rescue

1536
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: of La Knight. I guess Brunson stopped Halliburton from helping

1537
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Paul cheat to win that money in the bank match

1538
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: versus La Knight. He liked, He's like, hey, he's going

1539
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: for the brass knuckles. Yeah, Haliburt was trying to get

1540
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: those to Logan Paul. And then later at the end,

1541
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: I think he jumped in with a chair, looked like

1542
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: he hurt his hand. He came up shaking the hand. Yeah.

1543
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: I think he has tweeted after like relax, it's not

1544
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: hurt and all that. But no punch is thrown.

1545
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 3: No punch is thrown, no chairs chaired.

1546
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 4: Just Broaden.

1547
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 2: Got it though.

1548
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: A great catch great noise.

1549
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like how these guys continue taking an on court,

1550
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 3: you know, team versus team beef taking it to the

1551
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 3: squared circle. Looks like Dennis Rodman and Carmelong. Yeah back

1552
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 3: in the day.

1553
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: I had forgotten it sounded loud. Yeah, they popped. They

1554
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: absolutely popped like Haliburton, like I said, came down with

1555
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: loepole leaning into the heel obviously just having played the

1556
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 1: next and then Brunson there like coming to his rescue

1557
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: for La Night. Trey Young did this too, right in

1558
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden, remembers, Yeah, he showed up. He was

1559
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: getting booed like crazy. He was living it up. So

1560
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 1: it works in Madison Square Garden, it works in New

1561
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: York if you are a villain to that fan base.

1562
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 4: After hitting the shot on him on.

1563
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: The yeah, I'm pretty sure.

1564
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 3: I remember him, he pulled to w W SmackDown Madison

1565
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 3: Square Guard.

1566
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 4: So who I didn't see the video of the chair hit.

1567
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: Well, there was there was no chair hit. No, there

1568
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: was no chair car. Yeah, he came in like a

1569
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: little backup. It was two on one, right, I will

1570
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: hit you, Yeah, I will hit If you don't stop.

1571
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: You just laid out Tyry selling board and like somebody said,

1572
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: like what would Silver do if they were punching? Just throwing?

1573
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: Who neither get fined one game suspension? I don't think so.

1574
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: But Strip, they're not actually punching each other. You just

1575
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: gotta sell it, you know.

1576
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

1577
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Any other breaking news.

1578
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 6: From Tony Jones says, uh, Westbrook has indicated an interest

1579
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 6: in playing in Denver. You're trying to sign and trade okay,

1580
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 6: uh with the Nuggets.

1581
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 2: Because he just opted.

1582
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 4: Did he did go back to the Clippers.

1583
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 2: It didn't feel like he was actually going to play

1584
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 2: for the Clippers, but he just picked up his option

1585
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 2: right Denver.

1586
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 4: Huh.

1587
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, on the Denver front, seeing that they could

1588
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 2: sign Contavious Carlo Pope and just trade him out because

1589
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 2: it seems like he'd want out. The Pacers are a

1590
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 2: team rumored to getting him. According to Mike Singer and

1591
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 2: John Hollinger. Four could be for Aaron Nesmith and Jarris Walker,

1592
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 2: who is uh the guy they just picked last year?

1593
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 2: So rook like number eight pick?

1594
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, never played.

1595
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Smith would seemingly be in the trade.

1596
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Now that's a trade you make. Was near the Pacers like, hey,

1597
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 1: we are for real and yeah, KCP helps teams win

1598
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: championship and they got a lot of cards.

1599
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 4: But they must have seen the Halliburton.

1600
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 2: Uh Brunston, did you say you got to play?

1601
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Did you say the Nuggets could just sign KC. Yes

1602
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: they could. They're just the cheap skates, Yes they are. Yeah,

1603
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: like sort of like they got their rings, so it's

1604
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: sort of Babel don't care as much. But like, man,

1605
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: you have Jokic and they did sign Murray, right, I

1606
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: think reports are that he's signed his extension, but like

1607
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,640
Speaker 1: around the fringe is obviously Bruce Brown. That was a

1608
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: different sort of scenario. But then maybe this like what

1609
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 1: are you doing? Like they're trying to do it all cheaply.

1610
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Calvin Booth says it's because they want to build

1611
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 3: a dynasty, but they came up short I thought in

1612
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 3: the playoffs because they didn't have enough players. Yeah really,

1613
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 3: so yeah, they've got the three big deals in Jokich,

1614
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 3: Murray and then Michael Porter Junior. Is the big thing

1615
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 3: is that that guy's getting paid. He's like he's somewhere

1616
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 3: between one eighty five and two fifteen I think was

1617
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 3: his deal and he hasn't been worth that. But it's

1618
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 3: like what he came eligible for it, they had to

1619
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 3: pay him and he did help him win a championship,

1620
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 3: though he was brutal in the finals. But they're being

1621
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 3: super cheap with all of their rotation guys. They sent

1622
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson away. He also wasn't great in the playoffs,

1623
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 3: but they traded him along with picks right, Yeah, to

1624
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 3: get rid of them. They lost Bruce Brown last year

1625
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 3: because a salary cap. Same with well, Bruce Brown, they

1626
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 3: couldn't offer him as much as the Bowlers could. Jeff Green,

1627
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 3: same reason. They just lost them because they were cheap.

1628
01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 3: They're trying to do it with these rookie guys, but

1629
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 3: it's making it harder on the starters.

1630
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: And that was the key to the Nuggets.

1631
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 3: They had an awesome starting lineup the year they won

1632
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 3: a championship, and now another one of those guys is

1633
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 3: gonna be gone, and an awesome top six.

1634
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: They lost two of them.

1635
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 2: Now you got a top four. Yeah, And it's interesting

1636
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 2: to see what they'll do with Aaron Gordon next year

1637
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 2: because he'll be up for a player option the following

1638
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 2: year and he's only making twenty two million. He's far

1639
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: cheaper than the other big three of Jokic, Murray and

1640
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 2: Porter because I was talking about people, you know, who

1641
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 2: are you projecting for next season's championship team? And in

1642
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 2: the West, the Nuggets are part of the top, but

1643
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 2: they may not be there, And so maybe that's why

1644
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: Jokic and these well.

1645
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 4: Maybe not Jokic.

1646
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say Yokich wants Vassilia Michic, but just because

1647
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 2: he's a Serbian, I'd assume that Jokic would love him.

1648
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: But there's some talk because he liked the ponies, I mean,

1649
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,680
Speaker 1: courses mechicch come on in.

1650
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 2: But's key for them that would be be very yah.

1651
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they have cheap owner, so that part, I

1652
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 1: guess is not all that surprising. Again out their title.

1653
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,719
Speaker 1: But you I mean, I mean, anytime Calvin Booth talks

1654
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 1: to these guys tries to master the spin, isn't he do?

1655
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: You're like, what?

1656
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 4: Man?

1657
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's sort of maybe where we can

1658
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: call it unless we've got anything else from woes or shams.

1659
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 1: But I'm not got a good tweet here from Josh Hart.

1660
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,440
Speaker 1: Sure six PM was anti climactic.

1661
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 3: Josh Hart's like, come on, man, yeah, I want to

1662
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 3: know where Isaiah Hartenstein's going.

1663
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you wonder how much pressure they're putting on

1664
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: their guy. I always wonder about that. Yeah, it's like,

1665
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, they have to assume they've talked to him, right,

1666
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: Oh on, man, just stay man looks at me on bridges. Now,

1667
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: you're basically one of the guys. But he's like, but

1668
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: I never was a wildcat.

1669
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 2: You like, I know you like him.

1670
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: You still got a thing for him, don't you? Always?

1671
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: Like I was driving in here to the fact that

1672
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, you, like, are these guys calling each other like,

1673
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: don't go man? Or do they not care? And they're like, yeah,

1674
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 1: go get your money, man, trying to make money. Played

1675
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: a kid's game and he pays one hundred million dollars.

1676
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: Pretty cool, go do it. I guess it depends. I'm

1677
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: sure it's different from guy to guy and team to team,

1678
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 1: but it feels like those guys would be of any

1679
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: team we're talking about the team of friendship that they

1680
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: would be like, he was pretty instrumental to They're they're

1681
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: pretty strong run there, obviously despite all the injuries, Like

1682
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 1: we think he's a really good player. He's mastered that floater.

1683
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: So Fred Chatz tweeted about that his dad taught him

1684
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: to do the floater? Did you see that? I was

1685
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: thinking of you. It's basically a dinker dumper type of dude. Yeah, yeah,

1686
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: he is, but he doesn't actually, I think doesn't hit

1687
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: the rim all that often. Straight swishes. Yeah, he's got

1688
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: a nice one. Yeah. There are a lot of tweets

1689
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: right now at about the Nuggets in Westbrook. Wow, that's

1690
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 1: a weird one. But they need guys, guys, they need

1691
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 1: it's cheap. Yeah yeah, and if Peyton and they need

1692
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: more from Peyton Watson. But then it's like, did they

1693
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: give him enough reps? And and Ken he sort of

1694
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: give what Contavious called Pope did, Yes, but probably not offensively.

1695
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: Before we go, let's get to uh, let's get to

1696
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: tweeted the night. What tweet over now? Wow, it would

1697
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: be just simple. Just made me laugh. The Lakers tweeted

1698
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: it the other day. We got a number for their

1699
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: new draft pick, and that is Connect four. Beauty. That's right,

1700
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Connect will be wearing number four for the Lakers.

1701
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 2: And I laughed and laugh and laughed laughter.

1702
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: I actually remember saying to you on the playback stream

1703
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: when we were doing the draft, I asked you, Tram,

1704
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 1: like what number did this guy wear? You better wear

1705
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: number four? Right? We all had and we laughed and

1706
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,759
Speaker 1: laugh and here he is, he's doing it. That's great.

1707
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you were in college if I if

1708
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: I saw it, I don't think so. I think he

1709
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: was a see A five man, I don't know. And

1710
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: connect five he was a three O three three H

1711
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,640
Speaker 1: connect So I then I then tweeted, well, I like

1712
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: the chances now of Rondo being an assistant coach for

1713
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: JJ Redick. This guy loves Connect four, one of the greats.

1714
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: He's like, remember there was like reports he's playing five

1715
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: kids at once, Like children's just connecting foward it up

1716
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: all across the floor. So yeah, maybe this helps the chances.

1717
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: He's like, Wow, guys called connect four. I'm intrigued. Let's

1718
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: see if he's got a game.

1719
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 3: That's that's the best Jersey combo since Mobamba started wearing

1720
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 3: number five.

1721
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:36,920

Speaker 1: seven wearing seventy seven?

1723
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 2: Why did they make him so white? Why did they

1724
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 2: wash out his skin coat?

1725
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 4: Have they done that before?

1726
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 3: Done that?

1727
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: But I didn't notice he's a white guy.

1728
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it. Are they just highlighting the fact

1729
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:53,519

1731
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,000

01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 2: they're highlighting.

01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:01,439

01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: leave us a five star rating and review as we go, though,

1761
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: I want to hear a prediction when it comes to

1762
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: Paul George or Klay Thompson or like a potential big

1763
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: trade with Ingram or maybe the Lakers give me one.

1764
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:41,639
Speaker 1: What do you think here?

1765
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 3: I think we will see a zach Lavine trade before

1766
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 3: Independence Day?

1767
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: Okay, well under Earth, Yeah you got a big free

1768
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:54,879
Speaker 1: agency sort of prediction.

1769
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1770
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 2: I think Darryl Moore in Philadelphia seventy six ers they

1771
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: want Paul George real neat and I think it's gonna win.

1772
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 2: I think they're going to do it.

1773
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: Ash, you got something for me?

1774
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 6: I think Klay Thompson and Paul George is going to

1775
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 6: team up in Philadelphia.

1776
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: WHOA, I disagree with that. I think Clay Thompson is

1777
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: going to be in a Lakers uniform. That's what he

1778
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: wants us to think possible. That's possible. But we'll be

1779
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: back to report on it all once we actually know

1780
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 1: the details of what's going on. Thanks again for joining us.

1781
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Until we see you next time. Clipper Brow you heard

1782
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,679
Speaker 1: it here first. Have a great time turn up. Love

1783
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: you guys, awesome.

1784
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. I remember there's hot rumors that

1785
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook will be playing for the Denver Nuggets as

1786
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 2: their backup guard. They must think back to that time

1787
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook had fifty sixteen and ten in Denver.

1788
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he loves the thin air. Yeah, he's faster

1789
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: in the thin air.

1790
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 4: Got good sightlines there. Yeah, he just can see through everything.

1791
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm saying that, but anyways, he

1792
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 2: had a great game there when he won that MVP.

1793
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 4: That's probably why they're getting all right.

1794
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: Maybe embrace the night people,
