Donovan Mitchell and Evan 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.920 Mobley helped the Cavaliers hold off the Hawks one twenty 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.600 two one sixteen. Donovan Mitchell scored thirty one points. Evan 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.880 Mobley almost had a twenty twenty game. He had twenty 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.080 two points. And tied their career high with nineteen rebounds. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.440 James Harden chipped in with twenty one points. The Cavs 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.800 have won fourth straight and seven of eight. Cleveland fifty 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.480 one and twenty nine, can finish no lower than fourth 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.720 place in the Eastern Conference, and they're currently a half 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.959 game behind the Knicks for third. The Hawks have dropped 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.160 two of the two have dropped their last two after 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.640 winning fourth straight. They're one game ahead of Toronto for 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.320 the fifth seed, and but only one of a half 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.800 game in front of Orlando to avoid the playing Eastern Conference. 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:47.360 I don't know if you guys can see it, but 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.240 Detroit is comfortably in front. They're three and a half 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.120 games in front of the Celtics, so they're fifty eight 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.920 and twenty two. The Celtics are fifty four and twenty five. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.720 The Knicks are fifty one and twenty eight. The Cavaliers 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.960 are fifty one and twenty nine. Hens the half game back, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.920 the Hawks are forty five and thirty five. Toronto is 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.880 forty four and thirty five, The Magics are forty four. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.440 And thirty six. The Sixers are forty three and thirty six. 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.320 Charlotte is forty three and thirty seven, and the Miami 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.080 Heat are forty one and thirty eight. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:17.440 Joe, what's going on with y'all? 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.400 Oh man, we just had a little bump in the 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.400 roll again, Oh Joe. I thought we played a great 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.080 game tonight. We scored enough points, great playoff ball game, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.760 great playoff atmosphere. 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.480 We just couldn't come up with the win. Man. 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.320 I thought we had a lot. We had what seven 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.839 guys in double figures, So it was a pretty good game. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.839 I thought we was actually gonna pull away. You know, 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.240 we were playing great ball at one point, and then 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.000 you know, Donovan just kind of took over the game. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.839 But I think if we end up playing the Calves, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.039 if the Hawks end up playing the Calves in the playoffs, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.640 it'll probably go seven games. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:54.880 Fellas. I'm gonna be honest with you. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.320 I mean, Joe, you guys, you mentioned you had seven 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.080 guys in double figure all five of your starters. Nikhil 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.240 Xanda Walkers still walking is still playing unbelievable twenty five 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.080 points on ten or nineteen shooting, But you got thirty 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.480 off the bench for thirty minutes. Kaminga gave you eleven 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.240 of twenty twenty four points when you get that. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:16.200 Kind of offering production. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.159 I mean, you shot forty eight percent from the floor, 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.080 you're right there with the rebounding. You gotta Those are 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.200 the games, Joe, And we've seen this before. The last 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.000 couple of games, is that you guys have a lead 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.880 because you led a lot of this game and then, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.000 like you said, Donovan ended up taking the game over 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.000 late in the ball game. But these are the type 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.760 of game these are These are actually playoff type games, 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.880 because these are the type of games that you're gonna 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.279 be involved with more times than not. The likelihood of 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.920 your your starters being out a midway through the third 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.400 quarter or to sit there in tire fourth quarter, that's 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.719 not gonna happen very often. You might get one of 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.840 those games, if you're fortunate enough to make it all 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.279 the way through the NBA Finals, you might get one 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.839 game where your starters get the rest for the entire 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.720 fourth quarter. Other than that, it's gonna be clutch time. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:05.280 Possessions matter, turnovers matter, And so I think that the and. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.080 I know the Falcons had to excuse the Facons. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.360 The Hawks had this great stretch Joe, where they had 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.080 won like twelve thirteen in a Row. The last thing 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.560 that you want to do is kind of like tail 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.400 slide going into the playoffs. You want to kind of 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.520 keep that same momentum going. You don't want to win 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.200 thirteen and then lose your last four and then get 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.840 into the playoffs and find yourself You was probably right 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.120 there at the fourth seat and now all of a 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.440 sudden you find yourself in the playing That wouldn't be 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:28.960 good for them. 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.200 Now, I think we're gonna pick it up, you know, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.440 understanding what's his stake and where we're at in the 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.000 standings and how close and tight of a race it is, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.080 I think we'll pick it up. Look, Jalen Johnson ain't 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.080 gonna he ain't gonna go four for sixteen every night. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.960 You know, you know he didn't. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.479 He didn't have a great game, but we were still 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.320 in the game tour, we still had a chance to win. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.000 He filed out that, he filed out, Daniels filed out. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.640 So I think we can take some positives from this. Now, 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.280 it's Cleveland a great team. Yes, they have two games, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:06.680 actually three game changes uh En Hardened, uh Mobley. 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.200 And Mitchell, So they gonna be it's gonna be tough 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:09.720 to beat. Them. 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.520 But I think we got the squad they can do it. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.320 Like I said, I think if we if we, if 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.360 we end up playing the Calves, I do think this 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.680 would be a seven game series because it's fairly even 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.640 if you really pay attention to the game. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:23.200 Uh. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.920 I thought the Hawks mucked it up on the road. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.880 We just couldn't come up. We just couldn't come up 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.920 with the big plays down the stretch to get us 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.920 over the hump. But we had guys who stepped up. Look, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.520 Kaminga played a hell of a game. I thought. Gabe 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.040 Benson came in and gave us some great minutes as well. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.160 And that's what you need. He was doing me a 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.720 collective team effort. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:41.880 Bro. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.200 For to to be able to win on the road 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.880 in the playoffs, you got to be a great playoff team. Okay, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.760 oh Joe, you have to win games on the road. 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.560 You're gonna have to win at least one game on 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.120 the road. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.600 Especially if you don't have home Now, if you have 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.440 home court, you can you can just win all your 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.080 home games, be straight. But when you do that, you 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.040 have no margin forever because if somebody you mess right 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.880 to have an offshooting night and somebody gets you and 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.240 you're not a really good role team because you're right, Joe. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.520 At some point time, look at or Okay, see they 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:15.760 had to win a game on the road. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.200 They are against it. Think about it again, Denver. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.120 Denver got a game in order for them to get 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.840 keep it going, they had to go steal a game back. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.440 I think Indiana. I think Indiana stole a game from them. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.760 They had to go to Indiana and steal a game back. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:37.679 So you're absolutely right. Great teams, Look, you're not gonna 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.920 be up here all the time, no matter how roudy 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.000 your crowd are, no matter how much you love playing 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.240 at home, you're gonna have a slip up. But you're 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:46.559 gonna have to find a way to win a game 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.559 on the road. And so the Hawgs, like you said, 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.200 Jalen Johnson, did not play well. They had a couple 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.360 of guys that had twelve points and that those are guys, 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.440 like I said, Walker's been playing out of my mind. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.200 You got twenty four plus points from a kamingo who 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.559 played unbelievab off off the bitch. You got thirty seven 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.600 bench points, Joe, When you get that kind of production, 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.679 because you're not used to getting that kind of production. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.520 You got a capitol, man, you. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:13.000 Got I agree, and uh, you know, I know uh 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.880 uh our coach he does a great job. He does 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.880 a great job and making adjustments. And yeah, coach Quinn, 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.359 he makes he does a great job and making an adjustments. 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.640 So we still got a few games left. I don't 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.559 want us to get in that playing so we need 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.440 to we need to take care of business here at home. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.560 Uh Friday, I think we play here. I actually think 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.720 we play Cleveland again. Yeah, so that's gonna be a 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.720 hell of a game. That's gonna be like a Game seven. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.760 That's gonna be playoff atmosphere, and I'm looking forward to that. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.320 Man, it should be a phone. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.200 You want to stay in the five spot and hey, 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.679 guess what and play Cleveland in the first round h 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.559 five matchups? Right, But Quinn Snyder, you know how to 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.360 look here. You coach Donovan mitched for another year. You 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.160 know how to deal with it, and you know what 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.160 he's more than doing. So you better find a you better, 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.200 you better turn it light out. If you don't, we've 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.120 seen him score seventy of the game. We've seen him 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.599 have playoff games where you get fifty seven, him and 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.040 Jamal Murray going back and forth. He gets fifty seven, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.240 Jama comes back with a fifty. He comes back with 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.960 a fifty piece. Hey, he's a guy that can get hot. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:25.240 Oh yo, but there you do it. You can't hear me, 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.280 I hear you now? Oh yeah, I'm right here. I'm 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.040 right here. Just scream with y'all. Hey, listen, listen. Where 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.800 you look at Jobley? You look at Evan Mobley? 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.560 I mean hell, he had nineteen rebounds, twenty two points. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.880 My thing is when you when you play Cleveland, you 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.600 got to cut one of them big three off, like okay, 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.160 James Harden may he may get his, Mitchell may get his, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.440 But you can't let Evan Mobley, you know, be a 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.040 game changer like he was tonight. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.280 You can't do it. Yeah, you gave up thirty. We 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.960 gave up thirty one to Mitchell. You gave up twenty 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.720 one to Harden James and shoot, well, Mitch was sensational. 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.320 Mitch had was twelve. He turned it on, so you 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.880 can you Yeah, and you got vid Mobley was eight 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.800 or fifteen, And like you said, Joe, he gave it 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.760 twenty two and nineteen almost a twenty twenty game. And 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.280 then you got Jared Allen. You know, Jared Allen's gonna 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.400 be official because all he's gonna do is rim run. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.880 He's gonna get lobs, he's gonna get put backs, he's 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.040 gonna get tippions. So you're not really running an offense 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.600 for him, but you gotta keep him up past and 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.080 I thought you I just feel like the Hawks. I 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.280 feel like we got more talent than Cleveland, Like we 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.960 got more guys who we can depend on that's gonna 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:39.439 play pivotal minutes and play huge in those minutes versus Cleveland. 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.960 Cleveland gonna rely on Donovan and Hardened to carry the 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.440 lower Yeah. You know, you know Evan Mobley, he gonna 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.280 give you a ten point game, a rebound, you know 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:49.839 what I'm saying. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.959 Like, he ain't gonna be He ain't gonna be doing 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.640 it like this every night. Yeah, I don't expect you 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.680 know that. I don't expect that either. I think the 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.240 question is Joe is that? 0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.000 And now? 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.560 And plus we know Harden has his playoff pickups. He's 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.720 had him everywhere he's been, even when he was the 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.800 sixth man in OKC. Go back and look at that 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.600 game look at some of those games that he had 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.960 against Miami, go back and look at Houston, go back 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.720 and look at Philly. We've seen him have a fifty 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.440 point game and do go crazy against Boston and then you're. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.000 Like, bro, what that happened? 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:22.160 Right? 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:22.920 Happen right? 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.600 So you know hey, and he has the record for 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.560 the most turnovers in the postseason game, which is I 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:33.040 think it's fourteen, twelve or fourteen. So we know what 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:38.959 James Harden, there's a great chance that he'll have one 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.000 of those games that leaves you scratching your head. You're like, God, damn, 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:48.400 I don't know that he has one of those games. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.720 And he's had one of those games everywhere he's been. 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.800 There's not one. There's not one stop on James harden 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.280 resume where he hasn't had at least one of those 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.000 games in the postseason. 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.239 That you like, God damn. Yeah. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.160 And I think when you look at Quinn, he ain't 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.840 gonna let James just play free like he was tonight. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.120 I know he missed a lot of shots, but it's 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:10.880 gonna be a lot of trapping making him get that 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.920 ball up and we're gonna make some of these other 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.480 guys make some plays versus you know, versus letting James 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.680 go one on one, let Donovan go one on one. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.840 We're gonna see what some of these other guys can do. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:21.720 You know what I mean? 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.040 Yes, I think the problem that you run into like, okay, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.600 you give the ball up. Now, you do realize he's 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.600 probably gonna give that ball up. He probably go give 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.719 that ball up to Mitch. Now, Mitch, you come to 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.040 trap Mitch, He's gonna swing it to one of those bigs. 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.240 Now you gotta dump by Mobile or you gotta dump 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.720 by Allen. That's the problem that you're because they're one 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.160 of the few teams that play traditional they play two bigs. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.240 They play basically play two seven footas Evan Mobley and 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.800 Jared Allen. Only okay, see really plays like that now 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.880 them Okay see, nobody really plays like that. Everybody else 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.840 got guys that you know that can play multiple positions. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:03.479 Those are two conventional They play eighty nineties style basketball, 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.679 and so the problem that you're having to beat you 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.560 up on the glass too. You gotta be real careful 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.920 because like you said, Mobley had nineteen to night. You know, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.640 Jared Allen, Capa will give you a twenty twenty game, 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.120 and he'll give you twenty points when you don't run 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.880 not one offensive set for him. 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.040 He'll get them on lobs, put back and rip. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.320 Yeah, but they don't scare me though. I'm gonna be 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.400 honest with y'all. The Calves don't scare me. I feel 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.000 like I feel like we'll take care of home court, 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.680 whether we're the lowest seed or not. And I feel 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.520 like we can go in Cleveland and still one. 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.480 Yeah, still one. We can go. And I know we 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.640 can go in Cleveland and still one. This is a 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:39.680 playoff game tonight. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:39.920 Man. 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.360 We were right in the game. We was up by nine, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.440 ten points, say one point. I looked up, Yes, sit 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.080 damn how we get down by nine? But you know 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.120 we end up fighting back, getting back in the game. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.920 You know, CJ. I feel like CJ. McCullum is gonna 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.720 be a guy who you're gonna be able to rely 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.040 on in the postseason. Ojo to where if we do 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.240 get a little plant and stagnant offensively, he's a guy 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.120 who can go out and get it. He's he understands, 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.600 you know, who needs to touch the ball where the 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.240 ball needs to go and being poised and patience, you know, 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.720 understanding that he's been in these situations before and he 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.960 thrives in him and he knows you know, this is 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.600 a pointing year for CJ. Because I'm sure you know 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.400 CJ would love to come back to Atlanta and play 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:24.760 with the Hawks, you know what I mean, Like he 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.400 gonna be a free agent at the end of the year. 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.080 So I look forward to him, you know, having a 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:34.000 huge playoff series against whoever we play in that first round. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.119 But if you look at some of your key contributors 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.160 that you're really expecting to give you valuable minutes, you 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.640 look at Dyson Daniels, he was five of eleven. Uh, 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.440 CJ was six or sixteen. Jalen Johnson was four of sixteen. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.760 Mm hm, I need, I need, I need a look 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.080 because because you did get great production out of Congo, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.200 you got great production out of Walk and you got 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.640 great production out of Kamingo, they shall a very high 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.200 percentage and for those guys, your key guys to struggle 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.360 like they struggle tonight, Like like you said, I don't 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.960 expect Jalen Johnson, I don't expect c J to have 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.320 that kind of uh dictor Daniels didn't. I mean, he 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.280 only took eleven shots. He's five or eleven, so you 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.240 can live with that. But I just think the thing 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.680 is like c J and and and uh Jalen Johnson, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.360 they're gonna have They're gonna have. One of those guys 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.000 is gonna have to shoot a high percentage. You can't 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:28.040 have two guys because the congru Congoo is getting dump. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.800 Yeah he did take two. He getting too. But he's 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:32.960 a rim runner. He's a big that can run the rim. 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.480 You can throw him lobs, you know, you guys break 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.080 down the defense and get to the hole and throw 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.000 it up and he can finish it for you. So 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:40.880 you're not It's not like you just running a whole 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.800 lot of sets for him. He's not a big that 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.400 you run sets for. He's not in bed, he's not 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.960 a yo kitch. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:48.840 He's not win. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.240 But he's not a guy that you're actually running sets for. Bro, 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:52.520 you got to get your you got to get it. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.400 But like you said, Jalen Johnson and CJ didn't play 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.440 well today, Uncle Ocho. But look, man, we only lost 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.520 by six points. Ain't like we got blew out by 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.439 twenty and thirty. You know what, I mean, then you 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.280 had the drawing board, Like, damn, I don't know what 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.960 we can do. You know, we only lost by six points, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.479 and those guys didn't play great at all, So I 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.280 don't expect that from them. You know, come Friday night 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.359 here in Atlanta, I bet you it'll be a totally 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:17.960 different game. 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.240 Right, Well, it better be y'all going to behead, y'all 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.920 ask to the player. Kate Cunningham returned with a double 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.760 double as the Pistons routed. The Bucks won thirty seven 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.359 to one eleven. Kate thirteen points, ten or sixs. In 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.199 his return from injury. Kate hadn't played since sustaining a 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.919 collapsed lung in a win against the Wizards on March seventeenth. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.720 He appeared comfortable, playing twenty six minutes in short stints tonight. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.080 Jalen Duran had twenty one points nine rebounds. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:46.600 JB. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.720 Bickerstaff kept all five starters under thirty minutes. The Pistons 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.600 won for the six time in eight games. Well, I mean, hell, 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.560 he could have paid him one of twenty five minutes. 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.560 He played the box. They and turmoil right now? Did 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:04.800 the boy ain't no more people? People? 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.760 People got people got the deer head on the wall. 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:08.400 Don't nobody feel the deer no more? 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:09.159 He yo? 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:14.720 You remember right right? Hell well, y'all got y'all got 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:15.480 Bullwinkle over. 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:17.639 Kate didn't even have to play tonight the way the 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.399 way the Piston has been playing. They i mean, the 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.640 Bucks got so much turmoil going over there. 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:23.920 They didn't need k tonight. 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.320 But I'm sure they tried to get him acclimated before 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:27.320 the postseason started. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.200 To get him run. You got to get him some run, Joe. 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:32.760 You don't want that man go into the playoffs. 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:34.600 That lungs already. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.800 But they got so many they kind of they similar 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.879 to the house too, because they got so many guys 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.879 who they can throw at you in waves, you know 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.480 what I mean. Guys played pivotal minutes throughout the season 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.040 because k was out, you know, they were still able 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.440 to still keep that that that that number one seed 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.960 in the Eastern Conference. So that lets me know, man, 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.720 they got Look, they got guys who can come off 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.159 the bench and get to their chicken. Oh, Joe, the 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.680 Pistons gonna be tough, man. They hang their head on defense, 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.800 and they got a game change in k. They gonna 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:05.040 they they're gonna be in good. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:09.680 Shape and you look, I think that a key for them, 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:15.399 Joe is that come playoff time. How consistent can Duncan 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.920 Robinson in her hand shooting the three? 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:23.359 How can because we've seen Duncan Robinson catch fire with 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.800 the heat and we've seen her you. 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.600 Know where at rifle what he was in Atlanta, We've 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.480 seen him in Sacramento, uh, in Chicago, so we know 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.600 where he's capable. Can can they keep everybody on it 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.520 from packing lane? Because because ca is gonna try to 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.359 break down your defense. Now if you try to somebody 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.280 saying help, I'm gonna kick it to one of those guys. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.159 And can They knocked down the three? But I agree 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.600 with you. You know, He's like, look, it ain't gonna 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.280 take much for us to beat them. They don't quit. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.840 Let's go ahead, Let's go ahead and help him finish quitting. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:53.159 Let's jump on their asser. 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:59.399 And they they tried to get you the Pissons. I'm 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:03.679 gonna tell you out man, that Hornets team they scary, 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:07.359 okay Ojo and oh man, if they get that a 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.040 seed and you playing against the Pistons, playing the Hornets, 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:12.920 hey man, I don't know if the I don't know 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.680 if the Hornets can beat them, but I think they could. 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.160 I think they'll make it. They're scared of the hell 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.960 out of the make it very interesting they make seven games. 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.679 I don't know if they'll make it seven Ojo. 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.400 But I just like the Hornets, man, because they played 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:30.320 great basketball. They play together, and if LaMelo can continue 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.560 to play at this megastar level that he's been playing 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.399 in for like the past month or two, man, they 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:37.480 gonna be tough to beat. 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:37.680 Bro. 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.920 They got so many guys who could score the ball. 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.560 They play the right way, they play hard, they gritty defensively. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.200 So they're a scary team, you don't. I mean, they 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.360 are ascending. They've been ascending since about the new year, 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.560 probably since about January February. So it ain't there ain't 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.400 no team who you want to see, Bro. I watched 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.200 them play against Boston other night. I think it was 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.480 last night. If I mistaken, and they had control of 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.879 the whole game and ended up losing, you know, in 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.360 the second half. But for the most part, man, they 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:07.440 can hang with anybody. 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.439 The way they shoot the three, they're gonna get a 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:16.040 bunch of them up and in that stretch that you 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:17.920 was talking about Joe. In two months, a lot of 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.000 them was falling. You go back and look and they 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.560 were twenty or forty three. There was twenty five of 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.800 this and they had I was like, well, damn, because 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:26.879 you got Mellow, can go get you thirty on a 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.320 given night? Love you thirty on a given night? Miller, 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:35.000 you got Miles, you got Ridge and Bridges, So you 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:35.840 got you got what? 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.359 What? What? What goes my guy coming off the bench 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:45.320 from Chicago? Uh uh oh? Kobe White? Yeah got yeah. 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.840 So they got guys they they like you said, I 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.080 don't know if they can beat them, but they can 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:50.480 scare the hell out of them. They go like, damn, 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:51.920 I sure we wouldn't have to play them in the 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:55.600 first round, and and and and they're just young enough 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.000 and not even enough you know any better? 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:00.520 There you go, at you there you go. 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.919 See when you don't understand the magnitude of the games 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.320 because you rely on a few rookies, you know what 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:10.080 I mean? Like anything can happen, bro, Like, look, I 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.960 love konkok Nipple. He ain't just no spot up three 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.040 point shooter. I've seen him going to dribble, shoot the mini, 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:20.040 get to the basket like. They got a lot of guys, man, 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.600 who can beat you in many different ways. You know, 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:27.560 the Hornets have been a fun team to watch, they have, 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:28.480 they have. 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.560 But I'm glad to see I'm glad to seek back. 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:33.720 I think it might be a little bit too late. 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:35.560 I don't think he's gonna be able to qualify for 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:36.480 any of the awards. 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.960 H I mean, he's all out, damn. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.879 I mean he last played, he got injured against the 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:45.960 Wizard on March seventeenth, and here he is coming back today. 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.159 It's the eighth So he's a couple of that, you know, 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:50.160 basically a couple of that short of being out a month. 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:52.600 So I think he's probably missed too many games to 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:54.520 be because I think he's gonna be a first He 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.919 was gonna be a first or second team, no question. 0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.520 Now that's out of the equation. 0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:02.920 And what that does, O Joe and guys, we're gonna 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.240 have probably two guys that miss it. 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:09.359 And man, so that's three guys. 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.879 So guess what that does, Guys, that brings somebody that 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:15.720 wasn't gonna make it, that moved somebody from second team 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.400 to first team, somebody from third team to second team, 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.480 and that takes somebody three guys that weren't gonna be 0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:23.920 make it, they're gonna make it. And guess what that does. 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:25.960 That puts them in line for a max or super 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:27.320 mix contract. 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:34.560 By the time. So here's the thing, NBA. 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.360 While you tried to while you tried to do one thing, 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:42.080 clean up something on one end, it up on the 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.640 back end, because guess what you did. You're gonna have 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.320 guys that probably are just like French players that they're 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:52.719 gonna have an All NBA selection and all the NBA selections. 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:56.520 That means, guess what, I'm in line for a max 0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:00.800 and a super max contract. So while you hurt somebody boy, 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.560 you might've hurt a k or Luke or ant Man 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:07.080 because they're already playing on that number and they and 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:10.240 I'm sure you they'll they'll next year they'll be able 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.639 to play and get right back there with you taking 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.320 guys that might not be an All NBA selection again. 0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:20.440 And guess what don't matter. I got that. That's all 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:22.639 that that's all that count that's all that counts. 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.480 Because yes, when I when I when we go to 0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:27.199 the negotiating table, you know I got this in my 0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:29.720 back pocket now what you're gonna tell me you got 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:31.320 You're gonna have to run that little bread. 0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.920 You got to run that little bread. Oh Joe, Well, 0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:36.360 you know, we don't. I don't know what you think, 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:38.560 but this is what I know. 0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:40.560 What I know is that one. 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.120 Of those three All nbas so that basically said, I'm 0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.720 a top fifteen selection. So guess what somebody was gonna 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:52.159 be sixteen, seventeen eighteen, all of a sudden, it's gonna 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.560 be thirteen fourteen fifteen. 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.639 Yeah. Oh yeah. 0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:01.119 So now you get to add that extra year. Now 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.520 you get to add fifty sixty million dollars in the 0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:08.800 fifty year. So NBA, I know you tried to do 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:09.680 all good but no. 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:11.600 Good d man. 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.959 It's it's it's some guys looking at it, looking at 0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:17.040 it right now I'm talking about They're like, oh, we 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:18.960 I know, I'm next to the Line'm gonna make third 0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:19.520 team now? 0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:25.640 Oh yeah, yeah, we're in the money. We're in the money. 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.560 It's it's a it's a good thing for those players 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:30.400 that are friends, players that might not ever have, might 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.960 not ever have the opportunity, you know, to be first 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:37.119 or second team All NBA selections where you get to 0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:38.160 get to get to that bag. 0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:38.520 Man. 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:44.040 Hey, hey, joe, y'all remember club? What's it called? Came a? 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:51.760 Oh look here money? Hey? Hey, hey, hey? What about Hey? 0:25:51.800 --> 0:26:01.040 What about trading places? One a man? And that's how 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:01.920 it goes back. 0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.760 The fight between Giannis and Milwaukee over playing time just 0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:10.640 got a little bit more complicated. As it turns out, 0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:13.400 the real money on the line is that nobody's talking 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:17.479 about publicly until now. Multiple sources said the Bucks decision 0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:21.320 to see Jiannis Antetokounmpo cost them significant bonuses in his 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.560 Nike endorsement contract that would have been triggered if he 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.360 played at least forty one games. That adds a lot 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:31.159 of context behind Greek Freak's insistence on playing despite the 0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.520 team wanting to shut him down for the remainder of 0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.440 the season. The truth comes out, it just isn't about 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:40.480 competitive pride. It's because he literally and financially incentives in 0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:44.160 a shoe contract. Milwaukee decision is costing him. I think 0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:48.840 it's two old. I believe obviously, man bro, they might 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:52.720 add some extra years at ten fifteen to twenty million dollars. Second, 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.840 who's who's on his team? 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:56.520 Yes, sir? 0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:01.560 Now what of the likelihoods, pat rod Let's just say, 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:04.960 for the take an argument to a piece, Joe, but 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.640 he traded for what do you think the likelihood? Pat 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.280 Rodders said, you know what, I want the two brothers 0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:10.520 to what do you think the like lived? 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:11.080 Is that? Oo? 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:15.520 And knowing pat Riley ain't good? Okay, I'm just being 0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:17.800 honest with you. Unless pat the side all of a 0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:21.760 sudden changed his wa what you what you know he's 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:24.080 not gonna do because he's stuck to his guns since 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:25.440 hell for how long now? 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.200 And I don't think he was he was the head 0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:29.040 coach of the Lakers. 0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:31.359 Hey listen, if he didn't, if he didn't buzz for 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:32.600 the king, he not Bud. 0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:36.320 He's gonna have to get his ass in line like 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:40.760 everybody else. And hey, look, we traded for Yanna, your 0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:42.800 damn brothers and then they're gonna have to figure it out. 0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:49.199 But they gave we yell they he ain't doing that. Yeah. 0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:52.320 Hey, you know what's funny is when I think about 0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:53.840 the NBA and I think about the powers that the 0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.000 players have. One of the few, one of the few 0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:58.600 organizations where the players have the power, not the you know, 0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:00.800 the owners of the gym to the gym of the 0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:03.880 head coaches is if yanna say, if I say I'm 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:06.120 healthy and I want to play, Hell, he. 0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:08.800 Should be able to. You would think the way they operate. 0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:10.800 Hell, I'm gonna put my uniform on and I'm going 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:12.919 in the starting lineup, no matter what y'all say, no 0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:13.800 matter what you think. 0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:16.480 Now that didn't it?

You're not 0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:16.360 really going to suppress the market. But here's the thing 0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:18.200 what we're talking about. Oh yo, he says he wants 0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:20.200 to play. We took your word when you say you 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:22.400 was hurt and you couldn't play. We took the word 0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:24.240 for it. Now you want us to take your word 0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:26.920 for it and say that you can play if we 0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:31.480 didn't question you. Now now all of a sudden, you 0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:36.440 see and everybody knows I'm pro players, but sometimes when 0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:38.320 you start to own a business, you have to look 0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:41.840 at things from a business standpoint. And so that's what 0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:45.280 I'm like, Okay, okay, I can see. I can see 0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:48.960 what you're talking about. So all these concessions that they've made, 0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:53.200 I'm a firm believer is that nobody is going to 0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.880 love you like your original of the team that drafted you. 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.160 I had a conversation with a great ride receiver once 0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:01.240 and he's like, man, He's like oh, man, I need 0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:03.400 to just leave. And I say, I'm gonna tell you this, 0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:05.880 and it's gonna be your decision, and I'm never gonna 0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:08.360 steal your wrong. I say, yeah, you can probably go, 0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:11.040 and you might win. I say, but they're not gonna 0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:13.840 love you like they do where you are because you're 0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:17.280 their own. They watched you come in, and they watched 0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.560 you grow in the community, and they watch you as 0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.400 a young man come into a full grown adult man. 0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:25.600 They watched that. It's the other team. They just gonna 0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:26.320 be happy to have you. 0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:28.360 You're just gonna be one of the other higher guns 0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:29.560 that they've had along the way. 0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:32.120 Nothing's gonna be special about you, Brona. 0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:34.320 He thought about it a couple of days, like, man, 0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.200 you're right, so y'all is go and think so he 0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:41.000 gonna be sweet? You think the Lakers? You think the 0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.640 Lakers love Lebron like they did in Cleveland. You think 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.040 Miami loved Lebron like they did in Cleveland? Or do 0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:49.880 they love Dwayne Wade or do they love Kobe? Do 0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:54.880 they love shot huh? Or did they love Bam m hm? 0:31:55.320 --> 0:32:00.240 Or they love do they love Alonsol morning huh? See? 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.680 And I think I don't think enough players think about 0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:04.320 it like that. It's like, man, I just need to go, go, 0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:07.400 go go. Okay, fine, I'm never gonna stand in the 0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:09.000 way of a person wanting to get his money. 0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.120 But just understands and when. 0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:13.959 They don't gravitate towards you like they did in your 0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.120 original Destiny location, you. 0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:18.200 Can't get mad. He just can't. 0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.280 You can't even even though and think about it. Even 0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:27.320 though a Lonzo uh Lonzo was at the Harness first. Yeah, 0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:28.240 he was at. 0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:28.880 The Harness first. 0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:33.000 People and people and for whatever reason he was, They're like, nah, nah, 0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:36.720 Zoe hours. He was not d Wade, he not Bam 0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:42.760 that are ogs. Yeah, that's how it goes. 0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:43.000 Man. 0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:46.840 So Janni's wherever you go and you might win a championship. 0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:49.800 I hope you do. They're not gonna love you like 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:50.120 they did it. 0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:50.800 No, they not. 0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.920 But I bet you Jannis is thinking like this, Oh Joe. 0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:56.920 He thinking, Okay, I got two years left on my deal. 0:32:57.880 --> 0:33:01.080 But if they trade me this summer, then wherever I'm at, 0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.400 I can play and then the next time I can 0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:06.240 get that five years versus you're. 0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:07.360 Gonna get He got traded. 0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.920 But I'm saying he'll get to play, He'll get to 0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:13.000 play a full year wherever he got traded. Yes, so 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:14.560 at the end of the next at the end of 0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.520 that season, they'll be able to offer him that big deal. 0:33:19.120 --> 0:33:21.040 I think once you get traded, Joe, I think that 0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:24.560 is Look that up, Ash, look that up. I think 0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:26.320 that's the thing. That's what they try to do because 0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:27.960 they want to keep you at the So you say, 0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:29.880 he can't get so that's why they can offer you. 0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:32.120 That's why they can offer you that extra year, which 0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:35.400 is that fifth year at that bat number. Right, Okay, 0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:39.440 look that up, Ash. I think I think now maybe 0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:41.600 if you stay for because a lot of times you 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.160 have to. I think Luca could only sign a four 0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:46.760 year deal now if he once he plays, he can 0:33:46.760 --> 0:33:49.880 come back in because it's it's uh, Luca got traded 0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:55.800 in his contract year, right, No, I think he had, 0:33:56.040 --> 0:34:00.640 so it'll be the same as guy. Yeah, okay, okay. Oh, 0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:03.360 they would have never let him get that oh no, 0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:08.359 because remember that's what see, that's what Milwaukee said. Milwaukee says, 0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:10.680 signed the deal or we trade you, We're not gonna 0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:13.120 let you walk out the door, like Kate. That'd be 0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.880 foolish business. You can never let a guy. You can 0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:18.600 never let a guy of that caliber get to the 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:20.520 last year of his deal, because if you do, he done, 0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:20.960 It's done. 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:22.840 That's why, that's that's why they got it. 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.760 That's why I think they gotta trade him this summer, 0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:29.840 fellas they can't bring him back, you know, considering everything 0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:33.200 that they're going through right now, I think I think 0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.200 Giannis is a little disgrunted. He probably will never come 0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:39.920 out and actually said or demand the trade, but I 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.200 can bet you behind the scenes, they probably gonna be 0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:44.080 working when this season is over with to get him 0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:45.319 traded this summer for sure. 0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:49.719 Oh he gonna According to according to ESPN, Yiannis is 0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:53.160 eligible for a four year, two hundred and seventy five 0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:57.160 million dollar extension in October if he stays in Milwaukee. 0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:00.440 If he's traded during the off season, he he wouldn't 0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:04.000 need to wait six months from the trade date to 0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:08.720 sign the extension, which would be four years. 0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:09.160 Correct. 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:17.839 Ash, Yes, So, so he gonna get it no matter 0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:18.239 where you go. 0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.279 Then, Uh, I don't think you can. 0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:22.480 I don't. I don't know if he can get that. 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:25.879 So if he signed, if he signs, if he waits 0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:29.040 six months after the trade and sign the extension. 0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:29.399 How much? 0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:33.719 How much is the four year extension then, because it's 0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:35.480 kind of what they try what they try to do 0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:37.279 is kind of like what the NFL did o Joe 0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:39.719 because they didn't want the quarterbacks to leave. That's what 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:43.359 the franchise tag was really, really, really a vision the 0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:47.720 key guys, the quarterbacks, your Bruce Smith, your Jerry's, your immage. 0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:52.680 You want to keep those guys, so we'll pay you 0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:54.120 the average of the top five. 0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:56.279 So what this is the. 0:35:56.200 --> 0:36:00.000 Max, the supermax is basically to keep because we can 0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:01.680 can give you something no other team can. 0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:04.759 We should offer that fifth year. The other team they 0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:05.319 give you four. 0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:08.600 Now, if you won't for four years at two five, 0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:10.000 oh that's good money. 0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:12.920 We can't give you five. We give you five years. 0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:15.759 But he depending on where he go though he can 0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:19.680 he can make it up and off the court, uh endorsements. 0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:23.040 Depending on where he goes because it's markets, because Milwaukee 0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:24.560 ain't on huge market. 0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.319 So if he was done, so he usuld go. Well, 0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:28.960 he need to get a harder deal. He should have 0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:29.759 got a hardly deal. 0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.360 Hey, I know, I know one market he can go to. 0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:35.880 He'll make it up no matter what the damn. 0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:37.280 Tax is gonna kick his ass though. 0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:46.279 Low California even worth thirteen point that state. And when 0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:48.440 you kick it and when you kick it in that 0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:50.600 that thirty six percent at the fan level. So he 0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:53.879 taking forty nine percent of your money and you got 0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:58.040 to kick a meticula and fighter. Your agent, fees, your attorneys. 0:36:58.880 --> 0:37:02.280 So when it's all done that, let's just say somebody 0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:06.000 getting one hundred million mm hmm, you down to probably 0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:10.399 like fall the seventh six after taxes, and you pay 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:13.000 because they take it three and a half percent. Your 0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:15.359 agent take three and a half percent. Your financial guy 0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:19.279 gotta get his cut. Come on, think I working for free. 0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:22.239 You ain't working for free. Hey, you and I both 0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:26.560 know we got managers. We got we gotta we got agents.

He's like, nah, he ain't making no money. 0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.279 You can't charge what you're talking about when you see 0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.319 all that money you having to spend out like that, 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:38.959 because I know exactly what you're talking about. 0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:42.040 Attorneys and height Belok. 0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:45.520 That's why that's why boy, that that Florida, that Miami. 0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:53.080 Don't sound bad, yes, and bad fellas.

But they got 0:38:37.760 --> 0:38:38.240 some pieces. 0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.719 They could they you know, if they underachieved this year, 0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:43.839 they could possibly get get up off of and bring 0:38:43.920 --> 0:38:48.760 Giannis over there with Kdill. 0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:51.120 I still think they need a point guard. I think 0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:53.359 van Fleet. I think they need van Fleet. I think 0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:56.600 he's the missing ingredient. They need a point you, they 0:38:56.680 --> 0:38:59.120 need doing guard. They do, but it's gonna Hey, it's 0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.319 gonna be some fun moving this summer, fellas. I'm talking 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:04.800 about I think, oh, yeah, yeah, I know Brun just 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:07.480 built that. I know he building that old half of 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:13.160 minute a hundred million. What I can see Braun teaming 0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:14.040 up with some guys. 0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:18.279 Bro, where at Joe, what are you thinking about? Hey? Look, 0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:21.160 I can see Jannison Braun teaming up together. 0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:27.520 But you know what, if I'm Lebron man, I'm done 0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:29.680 chasing rings. I'm gonna go to a bad team because 0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:31.279 we've seen on a bad team what he can do 0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:33.640 as the number one or number two options. 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.000 Lebron can still give you twenty five to six a night. 0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:38.120 Did you just not? 0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:39.799 Did you not see him on a bad team when 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.879 you just play Sunday, mister Mavericks, he gave you thirty, 0:39:42.960 --> 0:39:45.000 He gave you what thirty and fifteen and nine. 0:39:45.320 --> 0:39:47.600 It's just he needs he needs some more ball handling 0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.400 do this in. But he understands the role he's in 0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:53.720 right now, Ai and Luca playing the way they've been playing. 0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:56.840 Like I said, because he started off the season slow, 0:39:57.000 --> 0:40:00.960 meaning he missed the first what fifteen games so and 0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:04.480 and they were playing great. He just you know, put 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:07.320 himself into where he wasn't gonna be disruptive. You know what, 0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:09.400 I mean he was gonna be a complimentary piece to 0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:11.560 those guys, and I think he's done a great job 0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:11.759 of that. 0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:14.279 But yeah, uncle, I agree with you. You put him 0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:14.799 on a team. 0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:19.200 I ain't saying necessarily to where he is the guy, 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:22.120 but where he can handle the rock, make decisions, you know, 0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:24.640 make plays. Yeah, he's still he's still got some ball 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:28.480 left in him. Or no worse than two yeah, no 0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:31.360 worse than yeah. Oh he gonna get yeah, Yeah, he'll 0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:33.080 give you the numbers that he gave you last year. 0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:36.240 Because if you go back and look like when games 0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:39.239 were okay, Luca's out or game with the car is out, 0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:44.439 and now he has more responsibilities, he gonna do his thing. Yes, 0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:47.759 but uh, I'm not surprised by this. The only thing 0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:50.640 is is that Joannis kept trying to be sneaky about it. 0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:53.400 Oh you know, whatever my agent decides. You know, I 0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:56.080 don't bro your agent works at the behest to you. 0:40:56.760 --> 0:41:00.120 And he doesn't want the criticism with coming because he 0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:03.360 saw the criticism that Lebron got, he saw the criticism 0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:05.840 that KD got, He saw the criticism that some of 0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:08.640 these other guys got, and he doesn't want that. So 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:10.960 he wants to pretend he wants to throw the rock. 0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:15.960 We know you broke the window he got that's my agent. No, 0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:19.520 bro agents don't just like the same thing. Oh Joe 0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:22.919 we talked about with Nico. Yeah, okay, Nico. That fell 0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:26.160 on Nico, but the all of Josh Dumont throw through 0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:32.120 the table on it. Yeah, so y'all is leaving Milwaukee. 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:34.040 I got no problem with it. So I don't want 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:35.959 y'all saying, but, oh, so you got a problem. 0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:36.600 No, I don't. 0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:38.959 The only problem I got is that he won't stand 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:40.799 up and face the he won't stay face to music. 0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:44.960 Y'all want out. I don't feel I can win here anymore. 0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:46.600 I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:48.080 think they can put the pieces around me. 0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:51.719 But everything that they've done over the last four to 0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:55.000 five years was at your require, at you. They got 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:58.239 rid of the coach. You don't think you think they 0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:01.360 did that without y'all assess that man was second in 0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:06.560 the east. Yeah, yeah, they win't got dang. You don't think, 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:10.200 y'a you think y'all hadn't signed up on that. They 0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:12.520 got rid of Holiday, they got rid of all those 0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:14.680 pieces that was because of Yannas. 0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:20.160 That was Yanni's last thing. Yeah, you got to own 0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:20.520 it though. 0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:23.920 Bro, It's okay. You're not the first to request the trade. 0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:28.520 You're not the first to move pieces. That's comes along 0:42:28.560 --> 0:42:32.560 with the territory. You're a superstar. Superstars get certain privileges, 0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:36.000 and that's okay. But don't hide behind it, bro, Don't 0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:38.040 make it seem like they want to get rid of you. 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.240 You know, you've been asking for this for a minute. 0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:42.799 And they should have moved your last Yeah, he don't 0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:44.920 want that. They should have moved your last year. 0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:49.200 You don't want that backlash, man, No he does. But 0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:53.200 even with that, even with that, I still think, you know, 0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:54.960 he'll be all right. I mean, it's just part of it. 0:42:55.040 --> 0:42:58.160 It's part of being a megastar. Obviously. Things ain't going 0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:01.640 right in Milwauke. Man, you gotta at least get you 0:43:01.719 --> 0:43:05.080 some pieces, get you some good pieces. And I think 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:07.480 Milwaukee kind of trying to wait till this draft to 0:43:07.560 --> 0:43:10.160 kind of see who get what picks and who can 0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:12.560 really help them, you know what I mean? Because okay, 0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:15.680 we okay, we can trade Gianni's. We're gonna package you 0:43:15.760 --> 0:43:17.759 with these picks because maybe we can get a top 0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:20.240 three pick or a top five pick out this draft 0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:23.680 to send Jannis off. Okay, that's a different story, you 0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:25.880 know what I mean? Now we bringing one of these 0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:29.400 young pheenoms who can carry us for the next ten, twelve, 0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:32.920 fifteen years. So I think that's why they waiting. 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:38.160 Joe Ojo. Yeah, I bring o Jo in. I do 0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:43.920 everything oh yo ask, I hire Chauncey, hi best, I high. 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:49.359 Ryan, I give Doug a jab. Things don't go right, man, 0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:52.440 I've done everything at Ojo asked me to do. Then 0:43:52.480 --> 0:43:57.600 when things don't go right, man, I can't row. I 0:43:57.760 --> 0:44:00.480 hi Chauncey, I hired Ryan, I hired Doug, and I 0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:03.440 think they ain't going right? You want to dial. I 0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:06.600 have brought both of your damn robbers. I've got your 0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:09.600 new coach. I got up on holiday. I got up 0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:15.440 off of me for damn. You don't think, I mean, 0:44:15.480 --> 0:44:18.440 does y'allys think that we're that not eve to not 0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:23.839 to think that he has that kind of leverage In Milwaukee. 0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:26.719 They held on to him because they don't want to 0:44:26.719 --> 0:44:29.719 trade him. They don't want to trade him, but they 0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:33.120 just know he's not gonna sign. And I'm not going 0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:35.839 to let you walk out the door. And I don't 0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:38.320 mean to keep bringing KD up, but kd contract was 0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:40.160 up and it was well within his right to leave. 0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:43.759 But KD walked out the door and Okase ain't get 0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:47.920 a damn thing. Let that sink in. Some people say 0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:50.520 KD is the top ten, he's probably a top fifteen 0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:53.960 player in NBA history history. Walked out the door and 0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:57.400 they didn't get a thing for him. They didn't get gatorade, 0:44:57.400 --> 0:45:00.160 they didn't get to they didn't get socks. They then 0:45:00.239 --> 0:45:04.040 get taped, They got nothing, joke, they didn't get no iPad, 0:45:04.360 --> 0:45:07.000 they didn't get a projector, they didn't get jacket. 0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:09.520 You cannot let Yannis. 0:45:09.200 --> 0:45:11.759 Walk out the door like that because if you do 0:45:12.160 --> 0:45:15.960 your ruin and Thenwalukee knows that they know, that's why 0:45:16.000 --> 0:45:18.880 they they refuse. I know they refuse to let that 0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:21.040 happen to their franchise because they won't be able to 0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:24.640 recruit from that. It'll set them back hell five seven, 0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:31.239 even probably longer than that. What got what got OKC 0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:39.840 was what happened the actually Kawhi because Kawhi going to 0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:44.000 the Clippers warning a veteran someone that he knew Paul 0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:48.480 George PG. Oh you want PG. What you got a limit? 0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:48.960 What you got. 0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:52.480 I'm gonna need Shay and I'm gonna need probably like 0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:56.440 four unprotected first round picks and Sam Presty. 0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:58.920 We know one thing. He can pick a player. 0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:04.040 He picked KD, he picked Russ, he picked Harden, he 0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:06.760 picked the Baker, he picked Reggie Jackson. 0:46:07.160 --> 0:46:09.799 And look at what he's doing. He's picked Check, He's 0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:13.120 picked Jayalen Williams. He picked Jayalen Williams. Look at what 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:18.040 he's doing. He's got lou Dort. Yeah. So now. 0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:25.839 What probably would have been purgatory for ok C, even 0:46:25.880 --> 0:46:27.879 though they're a small market, they're right at and they're 0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:28.480 right back here. 0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:33.280 Yeah, and they're gonna be there for the foreseeable future. 0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:34.320 They are many. 0:46:35.000 --> 0:46:40.840 Sometimes it's one move change everythinge it changed everything. And 0:46:41.200 --> 0:46:45.239 Presley done a great job. But the lynch pin was 0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:52.600 getting shape. Once he got shape. Yeah, the foundation is strong. 0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:54.680 It's hard the building to be. 0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:58.920 Yeah, and you just you gotta hope, you know, when 0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:01.040 you make these type of changes and you bring in 0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:05.680 a guy who you think has a great upside, you 0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:09.080 gotta hope he takes the game serious and he meets 0:47:09.120 --> 0:47:13.000 your standards on over delivers like Shay, I mean, hell, 0:47:13.719 --> 0:47:16.240 this man Fin will probably be a two time MVP. 0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:19.799 Won you a title. He won you a title. 0:47:19.880 --> 0:47:22.120 Man, you had Westbrook and KD y'all made it to 0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:23.319 the finals, but you didn't win. 0:47:23.440 --> 0:47:26.960 Win. You get this kid and hard Yeah and Harden 0:47:28.000 --> 0:47:29.360 and Obaca and Obaca. 0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:33.120 You get this kid and within what three four years, 0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:34.880 man Hednet won you a tightle and you're on the 0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:35.920 break to win another one. 0:47:36.040 --> 0:47:40.919 So if you go back to back, oh my god. Yeah. 0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:42.760 So basically, you got you got. 0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:46.160 You got Shae in twenty in twenty nineteen because with 0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.440 twenty nineteen yea, I think twenty nineteen summer twenty nineteen, Yeah, 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:53.960 got it because Kawhi came from came from Toronto, and 0:47:54.120 --> 0:47:58.440 that that was the domino that started this. We didn't 0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:02.360 know that a move move over here would trigger something 0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:05.320 over there. You know, sometimes you have the a tsunami 0:48:05.320 --> 0:48:09.600 because there's a earthquake that happened in the ocean. Man, Look, 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:18.400 with this thing triggered the Clippers wanting getting Kawhi triggered 0:48:20.239 --> 0:48:23.239 a series of unfortunate events. And I'm not talking about 0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:28.960 lemony snickets, y'all. Catch up that but anyway, but that's 0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:32.160 what happened, Joe. So I don't I don't thault Milwaukee. 0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:34.160 I'm gonna try to get as much as I possibly 0:48:34.239 --> 0:48:37.200 can because the likelihood. Think about it, you had Kareem. 0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:39.879 It took you thirty plus years before you got something 0:48:39.920 --> 0:48:42.640 comfortable to Kareem. You had some really good teams. Now, 0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:45.640 I remember the Bucks was a really good team when 0:48:45.680 --> 0:48:47.520 they had Nelly don Nesson with their coach. 0:48:47.840 --> 0:48:48.600 They had a. 0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:54.360 Who the hell uh but Lanier. They had Sidney Montcree, 0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:57.879 they had o Terry Cummins, got do Terry Cumming. Terry 0:48:57.880 --> 0:49:01.759 Cummings will do for a big body, Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:49:01.800 --> 0:49:02.400 from DePaul. 0:49:02.719 --> 0:49:05.840 They had Brian Winners. They had some really good players 0:49:06.480 --> 0:49:08.000 they did. They did. 0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:14.759 Kareem and y'allnis and so normally when you lose a 0:49:14.800 --> 0:49:17.799 player like that, it's hard to ever ever get enough. 0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:19.840 It's hard. 0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:23.360 And you're not like the Lakers, where people want to 0:49:23.400 --> 0:49:27.080 come will retire. They get Kareem and then you get 0:49:27.200 --> 0:49:29.880 Magic and then imagine retire. You get Shaq and Kobe 0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:32.880 and then get down and here come Lebron and now 0:49:32.920 --> 0:49:33.560 you got Luca. 0:49:33.800 --> 0:49:35.160 You see how everybody don't. 0:49:35.000 --> 0:49:39.279 Get it like eybody, because that you know, not only 0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:41.759 did the big market, it's a great market in LA, 0:49:41.840 --> 0:49:43.880 and everybody want to play in l a bro I mean, 0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:46.000 let's keep it one hundred, you know, playing for the Lakers. 0:49:46.000 --> 0:49:47.800 I don't know about y'all, but growing up watching the 0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:50.720 Lakers play, you know, the Lakes show, the Laker girls, 0:49:50.800 --> 0:49:55.319 things of that sort. Milwaukee don't have an attraction. They don't, 0:49:55.400 --> 0:49:58.080 so it's yeah, they're not gonna get no big time 0:49:58.160 --> 0:50:00.320 free agent, you know what I mean. So you do 0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:03.200 have to go through the draft and hopefully you hit 0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:11.000 big and okay, see yeah, okay, develop well, develop your players. 0:50:11.080 --> 0:50:14.040 But when it gets to this point to where I 0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:16.479 know Jannie is gonna move on, they know they gonna 0:50:16.480 --> 0:50:19.040 move on from Gianni's, you have to try to get 0:50:19.120 --> 0:50:20.000 great value from them. 0:50:20.040 --> 0:50:21.000 I don't know if you can. 0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:23.480 Get the same value, but you have to get a 0:50:23.560 --> 0:50:26.920 guy who you feel like, Okay, in two years, he 0:50:27.080 --> 0:50:29.560 gonna be a superstar, you know what I mean. 0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:36.600 Yeah, well, you don't know. I'm saying Janni's but Jannie 0:50:36.640 --> 0:50:39.720 is a different animal. But I mean when they traded 0:50:39.800 --> 0:50:42.799 PG at all those picks, they're like, man, okay, see 0:50:42.920 --> 0:50:45.360 got took, they gave up PG who was what second 0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:46.840 in the MVP third and the m v P B 0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:52.319 one in one year. And now they's like boy boy a, okay, see, 0:50:52.320 --> 0:50:56.799 you really sucker the Clippers. That's what people are saying now. 0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:01.120 It went from the Clippers suck at OKC to okay man, okay, 0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:01.839 see got one. 0:51:01.760 --> 0:51:07.160 Over on him. It's because Shay over delivered, over delivered.
