In fact, when 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 4: ESPN put out a social media graphic promoting tonight's game, 24 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 4: tipping off about an hour, here's all it read, all caps, 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 4: Cooper Flag, Bronnie James, Cinema Rob. 26 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 5: You got a problem with that, quilp. Yeah. 27 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 6: I have a big problem with it. And there's two things. 28 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 7: Because the graphic I saw, Bronnie James was on the left, 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 7: Am I right? And Cooper Flag was on the right, 30 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 7: left to right? 31 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 6: Don't you go left to right? Okay, So here's my 32 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 6: issue with this. 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 7: Bronnie James does not nt belong on the marquee. Once again, 34 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 7: the minions are trying to manipulate you, fool you into 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 7: thinking what you're going to see is something special and 36 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 7: something that you can't miss must see TV. And also 37 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 7: I'm worried about Cooper Flag because his day but should 38 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 7: be enough. 39 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 6: He's the chosen one, he's the new guy. 40 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 7: Oh my god, he's white chocolate times two, double dipped. 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 5: He's gonna be. 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 7: Larry Bird, Larry Ostrich, Larry I don't know, Larry Raven. 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 7: He's going to be all of that plus ten bags 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 7: of chips. And the only way we could sell the 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 7: next great white player in this country is to attach 46 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 7: him to a second round pick, fifty fifth pick who 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 7: couldn't play well at USC who you know, did mop 48 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 7: up duties for the Lakers for the most part and 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 7: played in the G League and didn't do anything to 50 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 7: make you feel like, oh my god, you know he's 51 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 7: going to be something special. 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: You have to pair Bronnie James to get people to 53 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: watch Cooper Flag. 54 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 6: That's where we are. 55 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: I mean, really, Bronnie James should not be on the 56 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: same marquee as Cooper Flag. 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 6: They're not the same. 58 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 7: The only thing that they have going for them is 59 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 7: that Bronnie James is dead, is somebody super famous. So 60 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 7: they're trying to attach the two. They don't go together 61 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 7: at all. They didn't play together. They if they are rivals, 62 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 7: what do they have in common. They have absolutely nothing 63 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 7: in common other than they're playing in some meaningless summer 64 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 7: league basketball game in Las Vegas and people who have 65 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 7: nothing to do or are afraid of the tables. 66 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: Are gonna go there to waste two hours. That's what's 67 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen. 68 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 5: Bah humbud. 69 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: First of all, Rob, you gotta remember, dude, this is 70 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: a summer league and this is where so many people 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: have already planned to go see what they believe could 72 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: be the next young star, whether it's Cooper Flag, whether 73 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: it is obviously Bronni. And remember, Vegas is LA Light 74 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Lakers. Did we talk about 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: all the time when we have Lamar Mitchwell and bet MGM, 76 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: when we have anybody else who knows anything about Vegas, 77 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: they always say, oh, my gosh, the Lakers do huge Vegas. 78 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Lakers. This is their home away from home. 79 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Oh the Lakers have preseason games in Vegas. This is 80 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: home for them. So so many LA people make the 81 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: trip and they go to Vegas and they're Laker fans 82 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: and they want to see Bronni because they've been following 83 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: his journey since Sierra Canyon USC and now of course 84 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: with the Lakers. So I think you're under selling how 85 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: many people actually are rooting for Bronni, want to see Bronni. 86 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 5: And if that was. 87 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: Last year, that last old news, that was last year. 88 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: Come on, But this happened last Summer League. This happens 89 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: in the Summer league. Rop when you're when you're you 90 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,119 Speaker 1: go a couple of years. Unless you are saying rookie, 91 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: if you're a Jason Tatum or somebody. 92 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 6: You saw BRODDI playing the NBA last year. This is nothing. 93 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 6: The novelgeteam was last did we Yeah? But the novelty 94 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 6: was the novelty was last year, right yea? And so 95 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 6: well get that not this year. 96 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: But so what people are going for is hoping and 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: what they saw happen in the G League because he 98 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: has played so much in the G League last year. 99 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 7: Against seventy five percent of the league and this summer 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 7: league who won't be playing in. 101 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: The NBA exactly the same thing. No, exactly what the league. 102 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: So they're gonna see him and to see if he 103 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: can actually produce now that he's beat up on the 104 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: G League with guys mostly who won't make the league, 105 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: can that translate into the summer league again against guys 106 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: who for the large part either won't make the league 107 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: or won't get meaningful minutes. So of course they're gonna 108 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: sell that. You know this, this is marketing. 109 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: One O one. 110 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: I have a kid again who's been famous since really 111 00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: essentially his birth. 112 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 5: Everyone's followed his birth rivals. 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 6: It's a phony. 114 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: If this were Branni versus as Bailey, it would be 115 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: Brannie A's Bailey. If this was for whatever reasons, If 116 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: when Ben Yama they said we want to work him 117 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: back up, you know, to see his stamina, it would 118 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: be prani And when ben Yama, absolutely this is gonna happen. 119 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's Cooper Flag's level of talent. Cooper 120 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Flags should be better. Now this will be his first 121 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: real go at it, so you know, he got to 122 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: get his legs up under him. But he's a he's 123 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: a much better prospect. That's not even a question. But 124 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: absolutely for marketing persons purposes, for the NBA, for Vegas, 125 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: for Summer League, you knew this was gonna happen. The 126 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: right was on the wall. 127 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 7: It's false advertising. It's false advertising. Fans should should follow 128 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 7: class action suit. It's false advertising. What do you what 129 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 7: do you what exactly is having those two guys they're 130 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 7: gonna be on the court at some point? 131 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 6: Are they going mono imano? 132 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 5: They made that?

Now. 242 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 6: The only problem is the tumbleweed tax. 243 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 7: You know, you might get hit with two or three 244 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 7: of them if you're walking downtown there is. 245 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 5: It's worth it. 246 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: If I'm making forty to fifty sixty million here, I'll 247 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: be all right. 248 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 6: You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna be outside the box. 249 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 7: And you know this, I'm the biggest players guy to 250 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 7: deserve every nickel that they get. When you're working for 251 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 7: somebody and they're paying you that kind of loot, it 252 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 7: tells you how much money the league is making and 253 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 7: the teams are making because they're not paying I'm a 254 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 7: business owner, Kelvin, you're you're a business owner. They're not 255 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 7: paying those guys unless they got it. So they got it. 256 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 7: But my point here is, forget about the extensions. What 257 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 7: I would have done if I was a thunder. I 258 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 7: would have been thinking the forward spind is we just 259 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 7: won a championship. We're not winning three in a row. 260 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 7: The NBA is not set up that way. Something will 261 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 7: go wrong, somebody, something will happen. It just doesn't set 262 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 7: up that way. People in Oklahoma City the dissatisfied. They 263 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 7: haven't seen anything like this since two cows collided downtown. 264 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 6: I mean, like. 265 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 5: Nothing like that. 266 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 4: Rob. 267 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 7: All I'm saying is I would have said, Okay, I 268 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 7: got Shay, that's my main guy, and now I'm gonna 269 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 7: trade one of the other two Chet or Jay Dubb 270 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 7: and Bill for you know what I mean, for the 271 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 7: next run. Two of them is enough. You don't need 272 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 7: three guys in the NBA. Everybody. It's two guys, and 273 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 7: you got your number one, you pick your second one, 274 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 7: and you're not worrying about three years from now. 275 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 6: Oh we're gonna have to get rid of somebody gonna 276 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 6: do that. We've already done that. 277 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 7: We've already advanced that where we got another you know, 278 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 7: younger players where you're not paying out that kind of 279 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 7: money and then. 280 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 6: You could sustain your run. 281 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 5: Here. 282 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 7: I'm just saying I'm not against them getting paid. I 283 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 7: just wonder about them paying three young guys. Very seldom 284 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 7: are you in this situation, Kelvin, where you got three 285 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 7: guys at one time that you have to pay, right, 286 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 7: It just doesn't happen. And I just wonder, Yeah, And 287 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 7: I'm just saying, and I think I would have looked 288 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 7: at it that way. 289 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 6: Who's the other guy that we need to keep? 290 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 7: And then we'll go get somebody else, do a sign 291 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 7: and trade, you know what I mean, Get somebody younger 292 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 7: that we don't have to pay, who's got an upside, 293 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 7: who's really good or whatever. 294 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 6: And we'll pay him two years from now or whatever 295 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 6: it is. 296 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: I think the reason why this could work, and I 297 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: actually get your point, but the reason why I think 298 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: this could work couple of things. Number one, even more so, 299 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: believe it or not, then the previous big three they had. 300 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: I think this big three is better serve to win 301 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: than the Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and I 302 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: think they have the perfect nucleus to try to do 303 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: what that three what's trying to do. And the part 304 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: of that is because of the fit, Rob, you have 305 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: three guys who none of them want to be the star, 306 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: None of them want to be the you know, I'm 307 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: the man, I'm the out look at me. 308 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 5: It's all about me. 309 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: You got three guys who have routinely said it's all 310 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: about the collective, it's all about the team, and that's 311 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: a rarity. And when you get that, that could equal 312 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: some potential long sustained success. 313 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 5: And when you have guys who play different roles. 314 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: Chet is a guy who kind of can do the 315 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: Chris Bosh with the heatles or Horace Grant with the 316 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: bulls and that tonight you need me to score a 317 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: cool I can get twenty. But if you need me 318 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: to just get you fifteen and fifteen and a handful 319 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: of blocks, I can do that. And then you got 320 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: a guy in j Dubb who's a great defender, but 321 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: he was an All NBA defender this year who can 322 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: also be a bucket. 323 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 5: He was an All NBA guy, an All Star meet. 324 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: So you have the perfect nucleus, in my opinion, even 325 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: more so than the previous three. The previous three rob 326 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: I think you looked at Kevin Durrant was Kevin Rant. 327 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: Obviously he was the best, He was a scorer and 328 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: all of that, so you kind of put that check Okay, 329 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: he's over there, but his temperament didn't mix well with 330 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook's temperament. Right, you had guys who he's more combustible, 331 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: he's more emphatic, he's more you know, raw energy. And 332 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: we see it that I didn't work with Kevin Durant, 333 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: right because he leaves this him and Russ leave and 334 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: a beef. Russ called him a cupcake and all that, 335 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: and he goes to team up with Draymond and the Warriors. 336 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: Draymond is combustible, is raw, is energetic, and is emphatic, 337 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: and so he wouldn't have worked with him. And then 338 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: you also had James Harden, who I think is the 339 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: opposite of these three in that I need my own team. 340 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm just that good, I'm that dynamic, and he was 341 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: so I need my own team. So I think this 342 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: three is worth the money because it's the right nucleus. Now, 343 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: I totally get what you're saying about buying the you know, 344 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: getting the other guys and the surrounding cast. 345 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 5: I do believe you look at. 346 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 7: Because that's what you're gonna need in order and have 347 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 7: those guys. You're gonna be at the point where you 348 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 7: can't afford anybody else. And that's when you you become Phoenix, 349 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 7: or you become. 350 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 6: A team where you're top. 351 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: But this is why relax with the Dolly parton. The 352 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: reason why this is not Phoenix Rob is because Sam 353 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: Presty has an extreme track record of finding guys that 354 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: we go, well, shoot, who is that? 355 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: And then they're really good or will shoot? 356 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: I thought he was washed up getting a VET on 357 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: a veteran minimum. And I think the key to this 358 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: also would be because they have a young, good nucleus, 359 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: they'll be able to get guys who are still good, 360 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: but you know their older veter say at Chris Paul, 361 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: I'm just I know he played there before, but on 362 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: a lesser budget. Because I have a chance to win 363 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: when guys who are really good vets who are obviously 364 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: past their prime but can be contributors see that, Oh 365 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: I can win. I can go be a ray Allen 366 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: to them, right, I can go be a piece to them. 367 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 5: I'll go be a metalworld. 368 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: Peace to Kobe Powell and Andrew Bidam or lamar Odom. 369 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: Because I can be a piece to a winning program 370 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: for the let for the minimum. Because I have a 371 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: chance to finally win something. So I think them having 372 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: the right nucleus, with the right mindset and the right 373 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: attitude gives them a chance to get some older vets 374 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: on the for minimum and Sam Pressy is a proven 375 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: track record of getting some younger guys. 376 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 5: Now. 377 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: My one concern, Rob, My one concern, and if I 378 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: were to subscribe, the Rob Parker planet will be because 379 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: of this. 380 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 5: Chet home. Grid has had two big injuries already. 381 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: He missed his whole rookie campaign and he only played 382 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: thirty two because he landed on his hip and he 383 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: ain't got no meat, ain't nothing on the backside. He 384 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: even broke his whole hip. Rob, it sounded like a 385 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: joker comedian would say, I broke my hip. He broke 386 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: his whole hip. My only concern is that is this 387 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: Chet's future of up and down. 388 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 5: I'm healthy, not healthy, hurt, hurt for the future. 389 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 7: That but that's why you strike when irons hot, because 390 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 7: you already won your championship. Seriously, and I'm not trying 391 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 7: to say you bail, but that's when that that's when 392 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 7: everybody's hot. Now, anybody in their uncle would be willing 393 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 7: to take Chet now. He played last year, right, Oh yeah, 394 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 7: I'll take him. 395 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? You're giving him up? Yeah, but you 396 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: get tool and you restop. He ain't giving up on 397 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: a chet this early. He could be defensive player of 398 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: the Year next year. He's offensively score he can be. 399 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 5: But you in a wheelchair. And that's why you do. 400 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: That's they stop and see Rob, and you usually there 401 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: you go. You almost went about a month without an 402 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: extreme example. I don't even know who are You almost 403 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: went too long, Rob. That was like you smoking a cigarette. 404 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 5: Bro. 405 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Let me get to the cigarette. You had to finally 406 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: get to the extremes. Now he is in a wheelchair. 407 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 5: Now, but now you to put the man in the 408 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 5: wheel You didn't even say tweaking ankle. You didn't put 409 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 5: him in a wheelchair. Rob. 410 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 6: But I just saying, like, there's always a possibility. 411 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: This three is built to have a run. You know, 412 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: I said this a month ago. They're built to have 413 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: a minimum. I believe a Boston Celtics runoff. We get 414 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: to a couple of finals, we win one, we get 415 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: to in their case, Western Conference finals. Got a couple 416 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: of cracks at it. But I think they may be 417 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: the one that breaks the mold and finally wins multiple, 418 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: like multiple championships in a period of time, Like they 419 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: win two out of the next four, they win, you know, 420 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: three out of the next set. This run they could 421 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: be on. They're built like that to me, and I 422 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: see what the NBA has become. If anyone can crack 423 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: that code, I think they have the shot at it. 424 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: Rock. 425 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's gonna be interested that she plays out. So 426 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 7: do you think they win the championship next year? Because 427 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 7: I don't. 428 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough with Obviously in their own conference, 429 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: Denver retooled, Houston got better. 430 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 5: I think it's in the mix. 431 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 6: This is what you have to go through, right exactly. 432 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: But they gave themselves a shot rob every single year 433 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: for the next like I said, five years or so. 434 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 5: And that's all you can ask for is be able 435 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 5: to compete and don't disrespect Oklahoma like that. 436 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: That they should be happy with their little one. Why 437 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: they can't want to go crazy and get two or 438 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: three round. 439 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 7: Because I would have won the way because I could 440 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 7: give you so many teams that after they won Milwaukee, 441 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 7: even the Celtics when they won their you know, oh yeah, 442 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 7: they're gonna repeat that. The team, well, something happened on 443 00:20:59,480 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 7: the way to you. 444 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 5: No, I'm not saying what can happen. I'm saying you're audience. 445 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 6: You want to be happy, be happy that you got 446 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 6: a championship. Because there's so many teams. 447 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 7: The Knicks would take one every one since nineteen seventy three. 448 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 6: Would they be happy to have one? 449 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 5: The Knicks to New jer The Brookery. 450 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 7: Nets have never won. The Pistons haven't won since two 451 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 7: thousand and four. Right, that's twenty one years. 452 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 6: I could go on and on. 453 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 7: The Utah Jazz have never won. The New Orleans Pelicans 454 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 7: have never I. 455 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: Gotta take twenty ten. Why I can't want to win 456 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: a bunch? Why I gotta win one and go away? 457 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: All right, here's your one.

Obviously, when that happened, there was some blowback 480 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 4: on social media because she's a very polarizing player, and 481 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: one person photo shopped Angel Reese that cover depicting her 482 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 4: as a monkey. 483 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: So very race is very inappropriate, very. 484 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 4: Discussing what we saw, RG three, in an attempt to, 485 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 4: I guess defend her from the trolls, put out a 486 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 4: tweet and I'm gonna. 487 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 3: Read part of it for you.

Whether you 491 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 4: like a player or not. Angel Rees should never be 492 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 4: called or depicted as a monkey. I've been quiet on 493 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 4: the Angel Rees front because she shared a video that 494 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,719 Speaker 4: aided in my wife, kid's family and friends receiving death threats, 495 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 4: threats of physical harms to my family and friends, and 496 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 4: threats of sexual violence to my children on social media 497 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 4: and beyond. 498 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 3: This will never be okay with me. 499 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 4: And then he goes on to continue because remember he 500 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 4: famously said that Angel Reese did not like Caitlyn Clark. 501 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: And here's what he said. 502 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 6: That's what Camp said. 503 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 4: He said, quote people in angels inner circle called me 504 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 4: and told me I was right. And Angel Reese has 505 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 4: grown a Kaitlin Clark because of the way the media 506 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 4: is always asking her about Kaitlin and be constantly compared 507 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 4: to her.

It's a couple of years ago. I 576 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 6: remember like it was like a private conversation. 577 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, is that Michael did that? 578 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 5: No? 579 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 6: No, no, no no?

Ooh they told me she don't like her? 586 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: Oh okay, So then you couple that with what you 587 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: just mentioned. You retweet something that only had like some 588 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: of the spot that only has like thirty five followers. 589 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 5: Some trolling little thing. 590 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: And now you get there for the minions who don't 591 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: like injuries, not for basketball reasons, but for racist reasons. 592 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 5: You've given them fuel to add to the fire. 593 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: So you made a nothing thing a something thing, and 594 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: that's what's disappointing there. And he continues to jump in 595 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: these things and to me add things that weren't necessary, 596 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: And to the point of, why can't Angel Reees just 597 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: simply be on the NBA two K cover and that 598 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: be that? Why does it have to be well, kayln 599 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: Clark should have been. Do you know how many people 600 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: are NBA covers? NBA players as well that necessarily weren't winners. 601 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: Luca ain't one nothing, Devin Booker a one nothing, Damian 602 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: Lillard ain't won nothing, Carmelo didn't win anything. 603 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 5: And there's a bunch of people meeting. 604 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: Auries is having a great little season for her right now, 605 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: the last handful of games, she's averaging. 606 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 5: Nineteen and fifteen. 607 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: She's playing well, So like, why does it have to 608 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: be what she's doing tied to injuries? He's too he 609 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: should be too adult for that to be playing that game. 610 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: So I think that's the crazy part for me when 611 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: I look into this. It's him. Oh I heard she 612 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: doesn't like her, and that's like pett that's like Petty's stuff. 613 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 5: And I think that again, that's what you get some 614 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 5: of these. 615 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: Guys who are jumping into the journalistic world trying to prove, 616 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: oh I'm breaking stuff like okay, but you don't have 617 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: to say everything.
