132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

133
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: A lot of stuff to talk about, including Lebron James

134
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: robb G.

135
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Do you just want to James, I don't think yeah,

136
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I'll say you because.

137
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 5: Just before the show started, the Lakers lost a very

138
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: key member of their team. Last year three and deep

139
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: layer Drian Phinney Smith left the Lakers to take a

140
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 5: four year deal with the Houston Rockets.

141
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: Might not seem like a big deal to unless you're a.

142
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: Big Laker fan like we are, but one of the

143
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: reasons why that happened a Lisa Gordon. Rob Parker is

144
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: because Lebron James that you know what. I know, I'm

145
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: about to be forty one years old, but I got

146
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 5: a fifty two million dollar player options stare at me

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: in the face. I'm gonna go ahead and pick that up.

148
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 5: And then after I pick it up, I'm gonna put

149
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 5: out a statement from my agent through ESPN saying I

150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 5: want to be for a championship and the Lakers are

151
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 5: building for the future. I understand that, but I value

152
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: a realistic chance of winning it all, making it seem

153
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: like he's going to decide on his future in Los

154
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 5: Angeles depending on how the rest of this free agency

155
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 5: thing goes. And losing DFS not a good start. They

156
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: did pivot though, and signed Jake Laravia. I know you

157
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 5: guys are big fans of his.

158
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: Well, oh yeah, I saw the movie Jake Lawrence of Arabia.

159
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: No as good as it gets, I mean, I don't

160
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: know about that. Here's my point, and I'm just gonna

161
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: say that.

162
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: You walk in here right now, I'll be like, hey,

163
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: how you doing, Lebron makes no sense? None of it

164
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: makes sense, Kelvin.

165
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: When you're gonna be forty one and you've played twenty

166
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: years in the NBA. There's only one reason you're playing, right,

167
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 4: to try to win a championship. Last year you got Luca.

168
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 4: Everybody went to the ram to the mat for you.

169
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I don't see any being out west that

170
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: scares me. Luca and Lebron I take them any day,

171
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: and they got knocked out in first round, right, okay,

172
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: So to take all the money that you can, I'm

173
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: against players giving money back.

174
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: Rob g for years, Kelvin, you know I'm not into that.

175
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: For years.

176
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: I've said I would never give any money back for years.

177
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: But when it comes to Lebron and his unique situation,

178
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: he's the one where the money that I'm not playing

179
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: all these years just to play out the string. So

180
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: you need help, you need other players. It doesn't make

181
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: sense to me at all why you would need to

182
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: pick up all that money when you need other pieces,

183
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: and you saw what happened last postseason. Do you want

184
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,359
Speaker 4: to play twenty three years and only win four championships?

185
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: Like?

186
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 4: The longer you play we talked about this, the worse

187
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 4: it looks because there ain't nothing special about four championships

188
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: in twenty three I don't care how many times you

189
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 4: win four championships in twenty three years is not that impressive.

190
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: So I think he's made a big mistake.

191
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like he's really trying to win to me,

192
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: because I would be working closely with the Lakers. What

193
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 4: do you need from me in order for us to

194
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: get another piece? And you know what I mean, and

195
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: really trying to work to get this out. All the

196
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 4: other players, no, let them figure it out. But Lebron

197
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 4: and his situation, his age is no way in the world.

198
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: He should just be taking the most money that's going

199
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 4: to hinder the organization.

200
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: I think Lebron is lebroning, and I think the Lakers

201
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: are lakering. You have two organizations, which I do believe

202
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be changing now in the new ownership. But

203
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: Lebron is doing what Lebron does. Lebron is going to

204
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: protect Lebron. He's gonna look out for Lebron. I think

205
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: he took his haircut when he went to college also

206
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: known as Miami Heat University, and I think that was

207
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: his one time where he said, all right, d way

208
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: you taking one too?

209
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 2: All right?

210
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Cool, see boss, You're gonna take one too, all right?

211
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: Everybody put their hands in say haircut on three, one

212
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: two three, haircut, and they all took a haircut. And

213
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: I think since then he said, nah, everything I went through,

214
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: every endured, I'm not doing and I know what I

215
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: mean to this league and I'm not doing.

216
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: Does it hinder him? Yes? Could we be looking at

217
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: the last.

218
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, four years of his career if you already

219
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: include a couple years and maybe the next couple of

220
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: years similar to Kobe, maybe it won't be injury wise

221
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: because because Kobe was all battered down, beat down, injured.

222
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: We knew that.

223
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: But remember Kobe wasn't taking no haircut either, And I

224
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: think they've just realized. I think those caliber players are like, nah.

225
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: Kobe wasn't trying to get catch Michael Jordan, like like,

226
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: that's that's where Lebron is.

227
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,239
Speaker 2: And I get, But Kobe thinks.

228
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: But you know the thing I always told you, Rob,

229
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: and I truly believe. I think he knows. For those

230
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: who say Lebron's to go, he's to go. And I

231
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: think those who say na, he never, he won't be.

232
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: So I don't think it matters. It's more like he

233
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: can't if he wins five, he doesn't get Jordan.

234
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: What is he playing for?

235
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 3: So?

236
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: I think he wants a great question. I think he

237
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: absolutely wants the money. I think he absolutely wants to

238
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: still just be relevant, be around. I truly believe he

239
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: wants to try to play with Bryce. Maybe not with

240
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers, maybe it's with Cleveland. A ceremonial year with Cleveland.

241
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: I think he wants Bryce in the NBA, which is

242
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: very likely, whether he's a you know, second round, sixtieth pick, whatever,

243
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: but I think it's likely. And I think he's like, hey,

244
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: if a championship happens by happen stance, not great. But

245
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: this is what he's does and this is what the

246
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: Lakers do. You put in some sweat equity with us,

247
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: You be there for us, you want us a ring,

248
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: you are, we are indebted to you. This is what

249
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: they've done. You know, you and I have talked about

250
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: they keep the rambuses around. Uh, they keep people. Kobe

251
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: was different Kobe. I'm not arguing they got a shock.

252
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean like, like, let's not act like but they

253
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: drafted this when you draft his son, no, but but

254
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: but my point is he's not Kobe was a Laker.

255
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? From they want to put

256
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: it twenty years. So they did that.

257
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: They didn't make the playoffs his last five years. Whatever,

258
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: they gave all the money. It was bad business, it

259
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 4: really was. But they felt, like Kobe was saying, that's

260
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 4: what they do.

261
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: They keep their head coaches or Byron Scott, like they

262
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: bring people in the Laker world. Magic is in him,

263
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: just out, magic is in, magic is out. This is

264
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: kind of what the Lakers do. But this makes no

265
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: sense for Lebron.

266
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 4: I'm that serious, Like to have two years where you,

267
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: especially if you don't do anything with Luca, you think

268
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 4: that looks good on his resume that you had Luca

269
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 4: five times First Team All NBA and you're not.

270
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: You know, there's some couple of years with Ads like

271
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: all right, y'all should have but they couldn't even go

272
00:12:59,440 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: to the final.

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: You don't win it, but you go or at least

274
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: not or at least get in the playoffs without the playing.

275
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

276
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: Like, and he had some of those years with AD

277
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: two where you would be like, all right, I'm not

278
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: saying y'all had to beat everybody losing the first round

279
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: or only get to the second round.

280
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

281
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: So I just think Lebron is trying at this point

282
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: dictate everything. I'm gonna get all the money. I'm gonna

283
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: put the pressure on y'all money. I'm already gonna put

284
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: the already got my out. My out is we ain't

285
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: have enough. Then I go to play with Cleveland for

286
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: a ceremony of a year he ain't going or you know

287
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: wherever the Knicks for finally one year whatever it is,

288
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: and then and then he rides off to the sunset.

289
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: So I think he has it set up where he

290
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: can only win from it. We win a ring, great,

291
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: we lose, we ain't have enough. That's how he's trying

292
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: to play it, position it well.

293
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: But that that don't even make any sense to me,

294
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 4: because then your agent comes out talking about trying to

295
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 4: win like like they are.

296
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna monitor.

297
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 4: What they couldn't even does Lebron right? Does Lebron really? Dude,

298
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm the first one. I don't believe anybody

299
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 4: should give money back. But in his situation where what

300
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: he's doing, the reason he's still playing, there's nothing to

301
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 4: play for. He's the all time leading scorer, like there's

302
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 4: nothing to play for. If he claims rings don't matter, right,

303
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 4: and he's done his his career and he's great, and

304
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: the people think he's good. What what is left to

305
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: be honest? Okay, you play with your son.

306
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: He's trying to play with both of them. Rup, Well

307
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. They're gonna be here.

308
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: No oh no, I agree. I'm not saying that because

309
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: they maybe ownership is going to be in with that.

310
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't believe that. I don't think the

311
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: Lakers are bigger than that.

312
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 4: You did it, you know, and I just can't see

Speaker 2: That's right.

398
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 7: I think about your people that got you any position

399
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 7: in life, the rail Rob Parker fans, those old women

400
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 7: aren't going nowhere.

401
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: Well, well, well they are going somewhere, Tony, they are,

402
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 4: but it's a pine box.

403
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: They ain't got much longer. Tony, go ahead.

404
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 7: Well, this Lebron thing, it's like I was telling Rob

405
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 7: g On, it's almost like that relative that comes to

406
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 7: town and they overstate they're welcome. I think he's overstated

407
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 7: his walking with the Lakers because I know Laker fans

408
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 7: are like, I can't wait for this guy to.

409
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 8: Leave, you know.

410
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 7: And another thing to me is he wants to see

411
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 7: what the Lakers are doing. Bro, you have no calling this.

412
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 7: This is your last year here, regardless. You know what

413
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 7: I'm saying. We're focusing on Luca. So if we're concerned

414
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 7: about anybody, it's Luca. And another thing is then Austin

415
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 7: reeves reject on contract ex since recently. Yeah, So if

416
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 7: I'm the Lakers, I'm trying to be around Luca. I

417
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 7: think Austin Reeves a good third.

418
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't let Austin Reeves go ahead. I'm that serious,

419
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 2: I will.

420
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 7: Lebron has no say in this. He really has no say.

421
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 7: And the sad part of this is I've never seen

422
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 7: in any sport where a great, a legendary player like

423
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 7: Lebron where so many people are like, I can't wait

424
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 7: till he leaves right.

425
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: Well, be cause you, but Tony, you could wear out

Speaker 4: on they couple of Fox sportuadio. What's up, Reese?

469
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 9: What's up?

470
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 8: Guys? How you I'm good man, I'm good. I'll get

471
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 8: to the point. You know, I appreciate Lebron, but it's

472
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 8: like watching the last few years watching the Lakers like

473
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 8: watching a rerun TV show. I mean, it's the same

474
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 8: old game. I mean, he doesn't lose the needle. The

475
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 8: Lakers are handcuffed with him and they change. I mean,

476
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 8: the most exciting thing about the Lakers season this year

477
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 8: they're trading for Duke Luca. Is watching a kid that

478
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 8: don't belong in the NBA.

479
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 2: That's so sad. It's sad.

480
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 4: And you know what, when they got Luca, go think

481
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: about where everybody was sky high. Oh oh, look for

482
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 4: the Lakers Lebron enter Josh, remember all that talk.

483
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a nice little run and you

484
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: thought this might be something and it ended up being

485
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: a first round exit.

486
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 4: First round disappointing big time. A lot of people picked them.

487
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you had uh Anthony Edwards talking about uh

488
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: Luca Pluca f Luca Timber wasn't five, by the way,

489
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: he made one for himself because the thunder beating was

490
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: pretty funny.

491
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 2: I like him, man, he knows how a good time.

Speaker 3: How you guys doing doing good.

513
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, not quite as good as Lebron opting

514
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: into fifty two millions. But Rob and I were just

515
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: talking about. Took some calls on U are you on

516
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: the team of where Rich Paul is saying, and they

517
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: literally just put on the screen again. Oh, Lebron wants

518
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: to win now, he's but he's also concerned about the future.

519
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: But give me fifty min two million. What do you

520
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: make of this opting in.

521
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: The first time in his career because he never had to,

522
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: because he always got new deals or left the team.

523
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 9: My read on it is that Lebron and Rich Paul,

524
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 9: I think accurately, since that there would not be the

525
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 9: same opportunity for Lebron to make fifty two point six

526
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 9: million dollars as a free agent with any team that

527
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 9: he would even consider joining. And my read is also

528
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 9: that the Lakers did not offer Lebron yet another one

529
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 9: plus one set up at that number in perpetuity, so

530
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 9: this was, if nothing else, their best way to set

531
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 9: it up. So where if Lebron does want to get traded,

532
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 9: it is possible, if still extremely complicated on a bunch

533
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 9: of different levels, like even if Lebron demands a trade

534
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 9: it is much easier set than done.

535
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: You will elaborate. I mean, you know why saw well.

536
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 9: To begin there's only so many teams that have fifty

537
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 9: two million dollars worth of players that they can afford

538
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 9: to send over without completely gutting their infrastructure. Where Lebron

539
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 9: would want to join. You have to make sure that

540
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 9: this is a deal that works for the Lakers, And

541
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 9: because Lebron has a no trade clause, he essentially is

542
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 9: part of the negotiating. It is essentially a three team deal.

543
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 9: And for all your listeners who remember in two thousand

544
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 9: and seven when Kobe demanded a trade, he also had

545
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 9: a no trade clause, And one of the reasons that

546
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 9: it never happened is you're essentially negotiating the Lakers, Team

547
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 9: X and Kobe. And that's a really difficult deal to

548
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 9: make work because the same players that in this case

549
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 9: Lebron would want to play with at least some of them,

550
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 9: are going to be the same players that the Lakers want.

551
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 9: And the truth is the Lakers don't have to do

552
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 9: any of this. Like Lebron may have a no trade clause,

553
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 9: but he doesn't have a you have to trade the clause,

554
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 9: you know, like he's not. Nobody's obligated to do anything,

555
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 9: and I seriously doubt Lebron is gonna crap away one

556
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 9: of his last remaining seasons in the league in some

557
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 9: type of holdout. So it is it's very juicy. Don't

558
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 9: get me wrong. I'm looking forward to our numbers at

559
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 9: lockdown Lakers over this week. But it's much easier said

560
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 9: than done, and much more dramatic than I think is

561
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 9: something that's easy to make.

562
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 4: Take lice well, the idea that Lebron I don't understand

563
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 4: where we are in Lebron's like to keep playing. The

564
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 4: only reason you got to be playing, right, isn't to

565
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: be the all time leading scorer, which you are, is

566
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 4: to win more championships and to get closer to Michael Jordan.

567
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 4: That's got to be the only reason when you're forty

568
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 4: going to be forty one years old. So my point is,

569
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 4: how much is enough as far as not wanting to

570
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 4: just take a contract to help the Lakers build a

571
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 4: better team. Everybody andy when they got Luca, Oh, you

572
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 4: don't want to see Lebron and Lucer.

573
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't know about you.

574
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 4: Who in the West would you rather have Lebron and Luca,

575
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: all these other teams and everybody bought in and they

576
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 4: got knocked out in the first round, and yet he's

577
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 4: willing to go back with the same squad.

578
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: Again, I don't get it.

579
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 9: Well, I mean again, when you look at I mean,

580
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 9: without getting to the weed, to the cap rules and

581
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 9: cap space and all that, there's not a lot of

582
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 9: availability for Lebron to join teams, I guess, other than

583
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 9: either like a taxpayer mid level or a veteran's minimum

584
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 9: stuff like that. But then you're talking about Lebron taking

585
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 9: tens of millions of dollars in pay cut. I realize

586
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 9: he's a billionaire, but at the same time, that's still

587
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 9: a lot of money like that is in the no.

588
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: I get that under normal circumstances.

589
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 4: Andy, I'm an anti players taking less than their value

590
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 4: to help the team.

591
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm against that. In Lebron's case.

592
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: There's only one reason you're still playing is because you're

593
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: trying to win more.

594
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: That's my point. He's the one.

595
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 4: If you're going to play to be forty two or

596
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: forty three, wouldn't that be the reason because you're trying

597
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 4: to win?

598
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 9: Sure? Sure, I mean I think I imagine that Lebron

599
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 9: thinks he could potentially have his cake and eat it too,

600
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 9: and if he needs to demand the trade that, I

601
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 9: think the Lakers will work to try to come up

602
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 9: with something that works for both sides. Like I think,

603
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 9: I think they will do their best to honor Lebron,

604
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 9: and you know, honor what he's meant to the Lakers,

605
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 9: what he's meant to the league, all of that stuff,

606
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 9: and show respect to you know, a superstar icon the

607
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 9: way that is their franchise ethos. But they're not obligated

608
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 9: to take a terrible deal just to make Lebron happy.

609
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 9: I'm guessing he's looking for a way to maintain his

610
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 9: salary while giving himself, as nothing else, the ability to

611
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 9: potentially get moved and also too, I mean, there's there's

612
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 9: an element of I think if Lebron can avoid it,

613
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 9: he doesn't want to be away from his family. You know,

614
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 9: he's been settled in La. His post career life has

615
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 9: been really in the works in the real time over

616
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 9: the last several years. And truthfully, if the winning championships

617
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 9: was the be all and all priority, and I'm not

618
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 9: saying Lebron doesn't want to win, I think he truly

619
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 9: does he plays too hard at his age to not

620
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 9: want to win. But if winning championships was truly the

621
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 9: number one thing, he would have left a few years

622
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 9: ago because the Lakers haven't been in front running position

623
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 9: to win in a while. And I and by the way,

624
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 9: I don't say that the disparage Lebron. I'm not saying

625
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 9: that it's anything.

626
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 4: Revealing about his Yeah, but but but I think but Andy,

627
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: I mean, he had to get the scoring record from Kareem.

628
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: There were other reasons to keep playing, you know what

629
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: I mean.

630
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: So so well, I'm just saying, at this point where

631
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 4: he is and his stats and his numbers and everything,

632
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 4: there's only one thing left on the table if you're

633
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: going to change anybody's mind, right, and is that if

634
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 4: him and Luca would have win two more championships and

635
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: he finishes with a flurry and then he has a

636
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 4: he matches my Michael Jordan, you might have a conversation.

637
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: So that's my point that this is where you're wrong.

638
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 9: This is where you're wrong. The conversation is the yes,

639
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 9: the conversation is a rigged Marlow game. Because the people

640
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 9: who've already decided it's Michael Jordan's Lebron could rip off

641
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 9: Can in a row and their minds will never be changed,

642
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 9: because they'll say six and oh, and they'll say the

643
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 9: league is soft now, they'll say whatever, like the conversation

644
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 9: is non existent, like it's not real.

645
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 4: I think, I think, I could, I get what I said,

646
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 4: But but the difference is.

647
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: Here, and I hear what your point?

648
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 4: My only my only differ, My only difference though is

649
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: in his mind. And and the Lebron people who say

650
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: he's the goat, they would just have a stronger footing.

651
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 9: Where how strong the footing, the footing doesn't matter, Like

652
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 9: if all of that mattered was championships, it will be

653
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 9: Bill Russell like Kareem has.

654
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: There there there were eight teams and when Bill Russell.

655
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 9: But the lodger and Kareem has the exact same amount

656
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 9: of championships as MJ. Like why is his six somehow

657
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 9: less than MJ's Because for people at six and oho

658
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 9: Like again, the people have made up their mind, have

659
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 9: made up their mind. There is no convincing them. So

660
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 9: in that sense, like the idea of well, I can

661
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 9: get myself that much closer to Jordan and there'll be

662
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 9: no more argument.

663
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: Yes, there will be Yeah, I'm andie, I'm the same

664
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: as you. It's not he's your go to. He's not

665
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: at this plat forty one almost so you either decided

666
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: he's not who he is. What was he playing for

667
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: he wants this is the last one where course short

668
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: on time and he has what he's playing for. I

669
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: think it is money because I think he views it

670
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: as money in relevancy, I'm worth the Do you know

671
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: who I am to this team?

672
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: Do you know who I'm in the league? I'm worth

673
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: the fifty two?

674
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: And lastly, real quick Bryce, how much I believe he

675
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: wants to play with both sons and then walking to

676
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: play with the Lakers. Not with no, no, no, not with

677
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: in the same team. I'm saying, both of my sons

678
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: are in the NBA. There's going to be a game

679
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: where all three James family members are on the court.

680
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 9: That's that's insane. I don't mean your I don't mean

681
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 9: your supposition. I mean, like, the thought of that is

682
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 9: just bonkers. I of course it's gonna happen, Like I

683
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 9: really do feel like it is going to happen. And

684
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 9: truth be told, I have no idea how good Bryce

685
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 9: is or isn't. It's just it's a pretty amazing story.

686
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 9: Like I mean, it's it's both amazing, ridiculous, mind blowing,

687
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 9: you know, cartoonish like it's it's all of it, but

688
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 9: it is unique. And I and I Calvin to your point,

689
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 9: I do think because I do believe Lebron is aware

690
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 9: that at this point people have made up their minds.

691
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 9: The thing that he is looking to do is the

692
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 9: thing that nobody else has, like play with his son,

693
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 9: like play this many seasons, like be the Olympics MVP

694
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 9: at his age, like doing things that nobody else has done.

695
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 9: Because playing for the goat status honestly is a waste

696
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 9: of Lebron's time because again, these lists are imaginary and

697
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 9: he is not going to make up. There are old

698
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 9: heads for whom he There is nothing he can do.

699
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 9: And I think Lebron is smart enough to recognize that, Like,

700
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 9: he will not convince these people. That's a pointless motivation.

701
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now I'm with you on that.

702
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Just blaze a different pat that's the only thing he

703
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: can do. Andy, We're up against it, man, Thank you
