1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: Now the song is terrible. Really, this song is bad. Yes,

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: this gotta be one of the worst songs they played.

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: What I don't know maybe, Oh man, this is really

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: really bad.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 3: Now you clearly like the song, no you think of hey,

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: hello man, you take your pills today?

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: No, I do not like this. No offense to the singer,

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: but it kind of sounds like total crap.

9
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,600

Speaker 3: Or do we we go away in the future for

33
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: fifty K, one hundred k? Where are we going?

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,240

00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: comments too. To No Dunks at the Athletic dot Com.

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: We actually stepped on the beach yesterday and right near

41
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: the end of that Murphy's slash No Dunk's Law, just

42
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: as Lee was singing a slim, dusty like country song,

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: the hardened news broke. I mean it was wild. It

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: actually happened right there while we were wrapping up each step,

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: and so we quickly grabbed our towel, we dried off,

46
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 3: and we recorded an emergency podcast reacting to the heart

47
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: and trade. That's up on YouTube, that's in your podcast feed.

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: Hopefully you've already had a chance to listen or watch that.

49
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: But I know that some of you who just listen

50
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: to the No Dunks podcast, you might be a little confused.

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: Where is Wednesday's Beach step In podcast. It's on our

52
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 3: YouTube channel, but it's not in the podcast feed. Good eye,

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: good catch. I know some of you were tweeting that

54
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: in that just got lost in the shuffle how to

55
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: take a little back seat because of the hard to

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: trade the emergency podcast. But we're going to be dropping

57
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: Wednesday's Beach step In podcast in your podcast feed later today,

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: so don't you worry. You will hear Lee Ellis sing

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: a country song. I mean it's incredible, and I think

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: it was you TK in our slack channel this morning.

61
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: You know we've got big B Volume one for hitting

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: twenty five k if or when we hit fifty k.

63
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: I think we actually got to produce a music video

64
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: of Lee's slim dusty like country song. I think that

65
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: that seems fair. JD. I know it's more work for you,

66
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: but the fifty k is a while away.

67
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm always rewarded with more work, so it's

68
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 6: a famar I work the better I'm doing.

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: Apparently Jedi's only happy when he's miserable doing more work.

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: That's it, That's all it is. You're not actually wrong

71
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: with that. So thanks to everybody that joined us live

72
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: or watched our Harden Emergency podcast on YouTube too. I

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: know it's the best we've done in terms of numbers,

74
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: so thank you so much. Finally, go grab yourself some

75
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: sweet No Dunks merch at No Dunks dot Com. Hoodies,

76
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: t shirts, mugs are available, and we're working on some

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: new things right now. Okay, we're gonna touch on a

78
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: few of the games from last night, but let's do

79
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: like a sort of James Harden trade fallout here. Now

80
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: we've had a little time to think about it some more.

81
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: Like I said, we got the emergency podcast, but now

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: you've been able to step back really think about it

83
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: for all four teams, and maybe you've read some things

84
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: or listened even to some other podcasts. We know that

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: the Rockets finally traded Harden to the Nets on Wednesday.

86
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 3: They secured a whopping for future first round draft picks

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: and for future pick swaps, all unprotected in a four

88
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: team deal that also included the Pacers in Calves. So again,

89
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: I highly recommend you listen or watch the emergency podcast.

90
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: But a few questions for you guys here as we

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: sort of wrapped us up in a weird way. First

92
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: one is trade biggest winner? Okay, I know you were

93
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: pretty high on everybody, but if you had to pick

94
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 3: maybe one be at a team, a player, wherever angle

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: you want, who's the biggest winner from this hard and blockbuster.

96
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I went Magic Johnson yesterday, skeets. I love

97
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: this trade for all four teams, and really I do

98
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: think this for a fourteen trade that includes a legitimate

99
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: superstar in his prime, that includes eight draft picks, you know,

100
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: I mean, consider a swap what you want to call it,

101
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: But it includes a whole bunch of assets for this

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: massive of a trade, it's pretty fair all around. I

103
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: put up a poll on our Twitter page at No

104
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Dunsey who won the trade? Twenty five percent to the Nets,

105
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: thirty percent to the Rockets twenty two percent to the Pacers,

106
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: twenty two percent to the Calves. It's pretty fair. You

107
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: even go and read like Zach Harper's trade grades on

108
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: the athletic and he is giving everybody's a's and bs.

109
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: So this was incredible that this trade ended up so

110
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: fair for all these teams. But if I'm picking an

111
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: ultimate winner, I'm a lot like our voters on the

112
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: No Dunks pull. You got to be impressed with the Rockets.

113
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: Their turnaround since October has been incredible. Actually, it was

114
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: a bummer end to the era with James Harden, with

115
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: Darryl Moury, with Mike D'Antoni. That Rockets team that flamed

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: out in the playoffs, they had no picks. Everybody on

117
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the team is as tall as I am. Harden and Westbrook,

118
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: two guys who were All Stars, they both want out.

119
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Now we look three months later, they've got a competitive team.

120
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: They've got motivated John Wall who wants the lead. Victor

121
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: Oladipo is going to be playing in the biggest market

122
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: he's been in, trying to re establish his place in

123
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: the NBA hierarchy. They've got a lot of guys playing

124
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: to prove others wrong. The question is can they unite

125
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: around that make the whole better than the some of

126
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: the parts. Only time will tell, But that's missing the

127
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: mushrooms for the Treaties, Skeets, all the Rockets stuff.

128
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: You see.

129
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't matter at all. You gotta dig deeper.

130
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: They are still in rebuild mode, and that's why they

131
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: chose this package from the Nets over Ben Simmons, because

132
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: they needed to get those picks back because now the

133
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: Rockets actually have a future. Picks. They don't win chips,

134
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: but neither did the Rockets. They took massive swings at

135
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: the title. They kept trying everything they could to try

136
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: and topple the Warriors or Lebron's Lakers, whoever it would be.

137
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: They came to a disastrous and and that can really

138
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: leave a franchise buried for years. Making trades like that

139
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: that where you're jeopardizing the future. People are worried about

140
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: that happening with the Nets, obviously now that they don't

141
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: have picks. Instead, they've got a solid team, they've got

142
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: picks they can use or trade, and there's a chance

143
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: that the picks turn really good down the line, depending

144
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: how things go with the Nets. Obviously the Rockets are

145
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: worse now than they were if they have James Harden

146
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: playing at the peak of his powers. But they were

147
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: a decaying team and now you can see the Seeds

148
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: of Life good stuff by Raphael Stone.

149
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like there's a lot of a's, a minuses,

150
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: even some A plus's for the Rockets in terms of

151
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: trading this grade and how they made out. Do you

152
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: agree with Trey Leelee? Like, the question is did Houston

153
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: get Knough? I think that's one question, And then the

154
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: other side is would they have been better off going

155
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: the Ben Simmons route instead of all these picks? You know,

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: come twenty twenty seven, would you rather have a Ben

157
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: Simmons less picks moving forward? So what's your tea on that?

158
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: Well? No, I think they probably made the right decision

159
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 5: because now they have got something to build towards with

160
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: the future, and Ben Simmons was probably the best player

161
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 5: they could have gotten in return, but they chose not

162
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: to go with that path, and it was perhaps because

163
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 5: the Sixers didn't have those extra draft assets that they

164
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: were looking at. So I think again with the Houston

165
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: Rockets when their season ended last year, there last season

166
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: it was like, man, what is the future for this

167
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 5: team because they simply aren't a contender. They've got a big,

168
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 5: clogged up cap sheet and they have no future assets

169
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: and now all of that is basically gone. They've got

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 5: some good, talented players and they've got these draft picks

171
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 5: now going forward. So this season it's hard to see

172
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: really what the ceiling is for the Rockets. I mean,

173
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: John Wall has been okay, book, you sort of struggled

174
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: a little bit. I think there's probably still a move

175
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: or two to be made there. I think PJ. Tuck

176
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 5: is probably not on this roster by the end of

177
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 5: the season, so they could be still some move there.

178
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: But I think now raphae Elstone clearly has a blueprint

179
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 5: for what he wants for this team in the future,

180
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: and I think that's really good. And whether or not

181
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 5: Victor oladiepo is a part of that, we're going to

182
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: find out, you know, by the end of this season.

183
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 5: Of course, if Victor ola Depot is a star player

184
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 5: at his age still, then they've got, you know, they've

185
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: got some experienced players, and then they can use these

186
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: draft picks to why they start rebuilding there or use

187
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 5: them to perhaps try to make a trade and get

188
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 5: another guy who's you know, on the way up as well.

189
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 5: So there's certainly a lot of options and a bit

190
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: more hope for the Rockets than what they had when

191
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 5: last season ended, because it was unfortunately the same sort

192
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 5: of story with them, you know, promising signs during the

193
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 5: season at times, but come playoff time they flamed out

194
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: pretty easily, and it was just you just sort of

195
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 5: felt that that was the end of the James Harden

196
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 5: run there in Houston, really because they had tried with

197
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 5: Dwight Howd, they tried with Chris Paul, they tried with

198
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: Russell Westbrook, and the result ultimately was the same that

199
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 5: they just weren't able to get to a championship and

200
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 5: compete for it. Now they were very close. Of course,

201
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 5: we all talked about the Chris Paul hamstring injury in

202
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 5: two thousand and eighteen. That was and you know that

203
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: that could have changed the entire narrative around not just

204
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: James Harden, but Chris Paul and the Houston Rockets. But now,

205
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 5: unfortunately all we remember is that they flamed out in

206
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 5: the playoffs and that's the way it is. So James

207
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 5: Harden gets a fresh start to go to Brooklyn where

208
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 5: he's automatically on a contending team. He has to sort

209
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 5: of rehab not just his game but his image a

210
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 5: little bit because he's taken a bit of a battering here.

211
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 3: But you know, lean into it. Harden be the heel baby. Well,

212
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: I compared the nets with now Katy Cairie and Harden

213
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: last late to nWo.

214
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: Well, listen, people love the Hill. Listen, Listen you can.

215
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: You can take that path if you like. And if

216
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 5: they win ultimately, that's all that counts at the end

217
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 5: of the day. Like James Harden won't care if they

218
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 5: win the championship, but if this is, if this situation

219
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 5: can't motivate him, then there's really not much hope for

220
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 5: him really, because he's playing with a former teammate. Again,

221
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: we talked about that there's only a few guys in

222
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: the league that carry the status of a KD and

223
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 5: I think that's Lebron, I think Steph Curry to a degree,

224
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 5: Kawhi maybe I'm not so sure, but anyway, the point

225
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 5: being that James Harden's going there and it's like, Okay,

226
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 5: there's no question here that Kevin Durant is the team leader.

227
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: And I will have to adjust his game. You know,

228
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 5: it's a good problem here for Steve Nash to have

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 5: because you always want a lot of talent on your roster,

230
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 5: and they have that now, certainly offensively. And now it's

231
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: just up to them to try to make it all work.

232
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 5: And it's going to be not just on the coach,

233
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 5: but it's going to be on James Harden, Kyrie Irving

234
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 5: and Kevin Durant to make it work. And I think

235
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 5: they can. But of course we won't know until we

236
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 5: actually see all those three out on the court, which

237
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 5: we might not see for a while. Who knows when

238
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 5: we're going to see those three together, but.

239
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, who knows. I mean, I saw Zach Low

240
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: ask a simple question trade did Brooklyn improve their championship

241
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: odds enough to justify mortgaging their future? And that's just

242
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: simply put, and I think the right way to come

243
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: about it. Do you think they have in acquiring James

244
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: Harden for this season and I guess even next season

245
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: because he is under contract? What do you think?

246
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: I do think?

247
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 4: So?

248
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I said preseason, whichever team trades for James Harden's going

249
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: to win the title. That's still going to be the case,

250
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: But I still feel pretty confident because James Harden when

251
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: he's engaged, even if he's not giving it as all

252
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: as on the defensive end, which is usually the case,

253
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: the teams are awesome. We always worry about James Harden

254
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: fitting in with other players, but for the past five seasons,

255
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: the lowest his offensive has been is number seven in

256
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: the league. Are you kidding me? He plays with high

257
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: usage guys all the time, and the offenses are always great.

258
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to figure out how to play defense.

259
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: They've been actually okay so far this season. Obviously that

260
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: was with Jared Allen in the mix. They're going to

261
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: need somebody to rebound. That seems to be the biggest

262
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: issue to meet with the Nets right now is that

263
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: on the defensive glass, they can't necessarily end possessions unless

264
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan's getting busy. But considering we don't know what's

265
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: going to be going on with Kyrie Irving this season,

266
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: if he's going to be returning to the Nets, how

267
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: engaged he is with the team, they have more than

268
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving insurance. They added a player who is higher

269
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: in the pecking order than Kyrie Irving, So yeah, I mean,

270
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: if you're looking at it as from a standpoint where

271
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: they lost a bunch of their role players, no doubt

272
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: about if there's not as much depth in Brooklyn now,

273
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: But if you're looking at it as they lost one

274
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: of their stars and now they added a bigger star,

275
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: it's huge.

276
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: Man.

277
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: I do think that they are. They're at least there

278
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: with the Bucks for best team in the Eastern Conference.

279
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: We'll see how everything gels for those teams. The Bucks

280
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: have been playing pretty well lately, so it's gonna be

281
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: fun to watch. It's gonna be interesting to see how

282
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: they actually look together on the court, and it's gonna

283
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what kind of player Harden is.

284
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be engaged on both ends of the

285
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: ball at least to try and rehab his image for

286
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: half of a season, three quarters of a season, you

287
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: would hope so. And if you're then that's you're desperately

288
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: hoping so.

289
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. And in talking about the big winners from this

290
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: blockbuster trade, I don't want to gloss over the two

291
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: other teams involved because we were high on them on

292
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: the Emergency podcast, and most are the Pacers for you know,

293
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: just popping their head in here going, hey, what's going on. Oh,

294
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: we'll take care of some you guys want all the people.

295
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: He's not sticking around here. We know he's leaving. Yeah,

296
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: we'll take LeVert in that great deal and sort of

297
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: plug him into our system. And then the Calves in

298
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 3: for giving up honestly nothing, get a really young promising center. Now, yeah,

299
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: they have ten centers on their roster. They probably have

300
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: some moves still to make. But Jared Allen fitting the

301
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: timeline the lead of the Sexlan backcourt there makes a

302
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: lot of sense and Ocral and I love it. I

303
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: love what the Pacers did, I love what the Caves is.

304
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: So I also want to give them sort of like

305
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 3: a winner of this trade. I mean a good grade.

306
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: I think both of them would get an E in

307
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 3: my books. Would you agree, Yeah? Absolutely.

308
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 5: I mean usually in a trade there's one team that

309
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 5: kind of you feel gets screwed over. But it doesn't

310
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 5: feel like that at all. I think the Calves and

311
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: the Pacers absolutely were like, yeah, we'll take those two

312
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 5: young stars off the nets for giving up guys who

313
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: basically aren't a part of our future here anyway. You know,

314
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 5: the other depot situation had kind of played out. We

315
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: weren't sure that that was one hundred percent of the case,

316
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 5: but certainly felt like that. And then for the Calves,

317
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: it's like, yeah, I wonder now what that next move

318
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 5: is because I think it's probably Drummond and or Kevin Love.

319
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: They're the most valuable assets they have, and I just

320
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 5: don't think those guys are a part of the future,

321
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: whereas I think Jared Allen probably is. Maybe it's Allan,

322
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 5: maybe he has more appeal out there, who knows, But

323
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 5: certainly things are also looking up now in Cleveland because

324
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: it's been a lean couple of years, as it tends

325
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 5: to be when Lebron decides to leave. But you know

326
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 5: that back court, though they're both injured at mon we've

327
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 5: got to get those back on the court, Colin Sexton

328
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 5: and Darius Gallen because they got off to a good start.

329
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: But yeah, so I think it's good if you're the

330
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 5: Cavs right now, you're going, wow, yesterday we didn't realize

331
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: we were going to get a young player with a

332
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: lot of upside. There a lot of potential to add

333
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: to our course. So this is a great day for them.

334
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, in a weird way, Lebron helped the Cavaliers in

335
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: this situation by embarrassing the Rockets in back to back games,

336
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: forcing Harden to go to that press conference pissed off

337
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: and calling everybody out. And that was the end of it.

338
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: I mean literally, the Lakers and Lebron broke up, officially

339
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: broke up, hardened in the Rockets with him moving on. Okay,

340
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: let's get to biggest loser. We're you know, we're positive

341
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: pizza with all of these teams, but come on, somebody's

342
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: got to be a loser in the mix here. So Lee,

343
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: get us started. Who is a team player or whatever?

344
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, sifting through the rubble, you are sort of

345
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 5: looking at one of the teams that was involved in

346
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 5: the trade. But I'm actually gotting to not pick one

347
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 5: of those teams. I'm going to go with Philadelphia because

348
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: yesterday they basically said to the league, we're choosing Joel

349
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 5: Embiid over Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons, we are prepared to

350
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 5: trade him for James Harden, and then it fell through.

351
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 5: So where does this now leave that relationship between Simmons

352
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 5: and Philadelphia Because okay, they didn't trade him yesterday, but

353
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 5: clearly he's available if if someone wants to make a

354
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 5: push to try to get Ben Simmons, and I think

355
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: that now is going to be a little bit tough

356
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 5: because Ben Simmons is a sensitive guy. I know he's

357
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: fallen out with Basketball Australia in the past. And now

358
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: clearly the franchiser said, well, we're you know, yeah, I mean,

359
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: James Harden's a good player, of course, you know, so

360
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: you're not. We're not just sort of trying to trade

361
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: you away for anybody. Yeah, but we tried to trade

362
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: you and it didn't work. So now it's kind of like, oh,

363
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 5: we have to put that toothpaste back in the jube.

364
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: And I'm not so sure it's going to be too

365
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: easy for them because it's basically they played a hand

366
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 5: yesterday that I think they only really wanted to play

367
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: if it was going to if they were going to

368
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: go through with it, and now they didn't. So it's

369
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 5: kind of like, oh, okay, so you know what is

370
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 5: what does Ben Simmons say to Daryl More now? So

371
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 5: am I on the trading block or am I off

372
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 5: the trading block? Because I think the fact that they

373
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 5: were prepared to deal him yesterday means that they are

374
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 5: considering shopping him around and that he is not necessarily

375
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: a part of their long term future, and that can

376
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 5: create a very awkward situation. Maybe they just, you know what,

377
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 5: maybe Darren Morris says, listen, it's a business. Yet we

378
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 5: tried to trade. It didn't happen, but that doesn't mean

379
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 5: we are shopping you around. And Ben Simmons goes, Okay,

380
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 5: I can accept that, but I just sort of feel

381
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 5: it's going to be a little bit awkward there. And Philadelphia,

382
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 5: things got off to a really good start. They dropped

383
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 5: a couple of games there, and then we saw Ben

384
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 5: Simmons not play his best performance the other night when

385
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 5: it certainly felt like something was going on with him.

386
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 5: And now this is probably only going to make the

387
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 5: situation a little bit more hostile there.

388
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: So are you saying that if Ben Simmons and Joel

389
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: Embiid are indeed living in the same apartment, in the

390
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 3: same house, they had bunk beds, that Ben Simmons got

391
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: up a little and he took his blanket and he's like,

392
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to sleep on the coach. He

393
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 3: just doesn't want to even be in the same room

394
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 3: because it's a little Awkwarom.

395
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I don't think he's angry at Joel Embiid.

396
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 5: I just think, you know, it's that franchise, and and

397
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 5: of course Darryl Moore is the person there. And I

398
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 5: remember now I cut, you know, two weeks ago, three

399
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 5: weeks so who knows when Mark Stein said, you know,

400
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 5: the Philadelphia seventy Sixers aren't prepared to train Ben Simmons

401
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 5: for now. You know, the Houston Rockets aren't prepared to

402
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 5: trade James Harden to Philadelphia for now. Even just then,

403
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 5: I guess that's when the conversation started going up, because

404
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 5: you know, Mark Stein one of the most connected guys

405
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 5: in the business. I'm sure people were like, let's just

406
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 5: wait and see how the season goes. Let's just see

407
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 5: what the market is like for James Harden.

408
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: Let's see how Harden plays, let's see's attitude exactly.

409
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 5: And then the Sixers must have said, all right, let's

410
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 5: make this deal. And then and then they fell through

411
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 5: because it looked like that's what the deal was going

412
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 5: to be yesterday until the Mets picked up and said,

413
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 5: we'll give you all these future assets and some young talent.

414
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: So I think the Sixers come out of this one

415
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: with a bit of a black eye.

416
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair, And Trey, I mean, like you said

417
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: in the preseason, I'm glad you reminded me. You said,

418
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: whoever trades for Hoen is going to win the title.

419
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: So is it fair to say that you think maybe

420
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: the Sixers are a bit of a loser in this

421
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 3: if you know, whatever they got caught up on giving

422
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: Oh we don't want to put Tyres Maxie in the

423
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 3: mix or Tibel or whatever it is, or so many picks,

424
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: you know, is that fair to say that you would

425
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: have them as a mini loser in this.

426
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm with Lee on everything he said. Plus, now they've

427
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: got to beat James Harden in the Eastern Conference. It's

428
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: kind of a double whammy, right, Like the Sixers were

429
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: perhaps behind the Nets coming into yesterday. I guess that's debatable.

430
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: You know, the Sixers have been playing really well, but

431
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: we've seen the Nets look awesome when they were actually

432
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: at full strength. So I guess that one's probably a

433
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: toss up. But now the six or the Nets one

434
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: the James Harden sweepstake, So I think that the Nets

435
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: are certainly ahead of the Sixers and the Sixers now

436
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: have to deal with the fallout of if there's any

437
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: sort of lingering resentment with being in trade talks. I

438
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to be the case. Only

439
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: time will tell, but it's shades of when the Cleveland

440
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Cavaliers would not put JJ Hixon in a trade for

441
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: Amari Staudemeier. I understand you like your young players and

442
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: you like to see the way that they're going to grow,

443
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: but you got to give up something to get something good,

444
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: and giving up Ben Simmons is a lot to begin with.

445
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: Throwing in your young guys as even more to begin with.

446
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: But if you're getting an MVP caliber player that vaults

447
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: you to the top of the conference, some teams are

448
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: interested in that and some teams aren't. We saw Darryl

449
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: Moury say, okay, I want to slow play this here.

450
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: Maybe we can pull off Bradley Beal trade in the future.

451
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: Maybe they find a way to get Zach Lavine out

452
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: of Chicago alongside Ben Simmons, who knows what it's gonna be.

453
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: There are still moves that the Sixers can make, but

454
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: as of right now, you know the Sixers are behind

455
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: the nets for me, So yeah, They're definitely a mini loser.

456
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: Cliche warning though, sometimes the best trades are the ones

457
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 3: you don't make. Hey, all right, yeah, well the Warriors

458
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: come to mind with Klay Thompson, you know, not trading

459
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: him of course to Kevin Love. I remember us talking

460
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 3: about that at the time, way back when. But uh yeah,

461
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 3: I hear you guys are saying with the Sixers. It's

462
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: a great point too, that you are gonna, in theory,

463
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: have to go through the Brooklyn Nets, and they did

464
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: just add James Hardtt. Now I think Darryl Mory's got,

465
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 3: you know, a Plan B and a Plan C probably

466
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: in play, you know, after they struck out if you

467
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 3: want to call it that on Harden and maybe it

468
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: is Beal and maybe that ends out working better for them.

469
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: But you know, right now, in this moment, I'm with you, guys,

470
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: I think also a loser in this. I think it

471
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: might be Kyrie Irving. I know you guys are very

472
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: very high on what the Nets can do. They might

473
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 3: score one hundred and fifty points a game, stopping people

474
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: will be something else. But he is the one in

475
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 3: the mix here, right that is gonna have to sacrifice.

476
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be Durant. It's Durant's team. Harden's gonna

477
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 3: be hardened. You know, he can, he can, He's not

478
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: gonna change. I think he's gonna get back to the

479
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: Harden of Old and he's gonna be scoring, you know,

480
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: the thirty and the fifteen and stuff like that. But

481
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: Kyrie in this mix, if he's even there, because we

482
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: don't really know what's going on and what his timeline

483
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: is coming back to this team. Always with these weird

484
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: little supers team super teams, especially the three guys, someone

485
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: has to sacrifice, usually Lee. It's usually a big guy. Sorry, Trey,

486
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: I know you hate to hear that, but it's usually

487
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: Chris Bosh, Kevin Love.

488
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: Those were the guys, and I think man bias runs wild.

489
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, And not only did they have to sacrifice,

490
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 3: I would also argue they were very easily the scapegoats.

491
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: When things don't go smoothly right from the jump. Both

492
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: of those guys, you know, raked for what they weren't

493
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: doing or were doing or whatever, right and unfairly in

494
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 3: most instances. So will Kyrie be that guy in this

495
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 3: mix here? If you know they start slowly? I think so,

496
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: And that sucks for him, I would think. But I

497
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: think in this weird setup here, I think he's gonna

498
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 3: be the one that has to sacrifice. I will be

499
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: bade the scapegoat. I don't know if you agree with.

500
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 5: That, Leately, I honestly just don't know, because I just

501
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 5: don't know what to expect that of Kyrie having right now,

502
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 5: whether or not he's coming back. He apparently is landing

503
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 5: on coming back to the team, and he's the point god,

504
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 5: you know, so is he.

505
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: I think this team, in my opinion, it'd be James hard.

506
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 5: But see but see, I can't I can't see James

507
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 5: Hadden coming to team and Steve Nash saying Okay, James,

508
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 5: you're the point god for day one here. I think

509
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 5: it's going to be like, Okay, James, Kyrie is a

510
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 5: point guard. Kevin's our offensive, our first threat, and I

511
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 5: need you to be playing off the ball at the start.

512
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 3: I just we're comfortable with Kyrie, honestly, sort of.

513
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 5: Yeah. But having that conversation though with Kyrie, Yeah, that's

514
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: what I'm talking about.

515
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: I think I said last night day is anyone concerned

516
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: about Kyrie being the third fiddle on a team.

517
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, and a second guy on a Lebron team

518
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 5: that maybe that is their long term hope there or

519
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 5: to later in the season. That's what Steve national saw

520
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 5: Mark is doing. But I don't think that happens at

521
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 5: the start. I think I think they try to appease

522
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 5: Kyrie at the start and say, listen, we're not bumping

523
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 5: you out. You're still our point guard. Let's let's fit

524
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 5: James into that team first, rather than fit you into

525
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 5: you in behind James, because I think that will cause

526
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 5: I can see a situation where Kyrie kind of pouts

527
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 5: his way out almost of Brooklyn and saying, listen, this

528
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 5: is my team after Kevin. Does he even think it's

529
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant's team. That's the question there with Kyrie, because

530
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 5: how many superstars voluntarily move away from playing with Lebron James.

531
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 5: Only one that I know, and that's Kyrie Irving. He's like,

532
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 5: I don't want to play with Lebron James, which is

533
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 5: crazy because you look at a situation like Anthony Davis

534
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 5: who had seven rough years in New Orleans and he

535
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: was like, I'm desperate to play with a legitimate superstar. Well,

536
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 5: now Kyrie James and Kevin Durant have two legit superstars

537
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 5: on their team in their prime ish areas there, So

538
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: in theory, this should work perfectly because they should all sacrifice.

539
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: A little bit for the greater good.

540
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 5: They'll all still average, you know, twenty twenty five a

541
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 5: game if they choose to, and they can all benefit

542
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 5: from this relationship. But how much Who's prepared to put

543
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 5: their ego to the side at the start? Who's prepared

544
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 5: to be the guy like, you know what, fine, I'll

545
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 5: adjust my game a little bit. I don't think Kevin

546
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: Durant has to because he's the legit superstar. I think

547
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 5: Kyrie and James Harden both have to find a little

548
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 5: bit of middle ground there. But both of them are

549
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 5: kind of stubborn, so you know, good luck, Steve Nash.

550
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, LOOI this is what makes this fascinating. And you said,

551
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: like the whole thing with like uh okay, Harding comes

552
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 3: in and he's got to work with Katie and Kyrie.

553
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 3: But here's the funny part to that, the weird wrinkle,

554
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 3: he's not there. It's very likely that we can see

555
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: James Harden in a nets uniform playing with KD before

556
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: even Kyrie comes back. And then I think that makes

557
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 3: even a weirder dynamic trey because you know who's to say, Well, Harden,

558
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 3: Kdre are kicking ass here together for a game or two,

559
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: and then Kyrie's coming into the mix, Well, now we

560
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: gotta fold you in and worry about you.

561
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 4: I don't know.

562
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: I think it's a this whole thing. Him being away

563
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 3: from the team makes already a potentially volatile you know

564
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: set up here with these three guys, even crazier in

565
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: terms of just the timeline of it all.

566
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: I think, oh, no doubt about it. There's volatile personalities

567
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: in that locker room. But I'm kind of not even

568
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: factoring Kyrie Irving into the scenario for the Nets right now.

569
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: If he comes back, I think there are definitely gonna

570
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: have things to address. They're gonna have massive off court

571
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: things to address with Kyrie Irving regardless of what happens.

572
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm looking at this team as Kevin

573
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: Durant and James Harden and that is enough in the

574
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. I think, especially if they're able to do

575
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: something on the buyout market, get a rebounder, maybe get

576
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: another big guy who knows who they're gonna be able

577
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: to pick up once you know, random veterans have been released.

578
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they figure out a way to get Tyson Chandler's

579
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: body working again and he can give him some the

580
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: minutes banging around in there or something like that. But

581
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: for me, right now, I'm looking at this as Kevin

582
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: Durant's team. James Harden is coming in to be the

583
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: number two. And if they're able to add Kyrie and

584
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: he's able to suffer a little ego death and play

585
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: alongside Katie and James Harden, They're gonna be unstoppable. They're

586
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna be unstoppable.

587
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: An all Star team.

588
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: That's gonna be an all Star team. And I mean Harden,

589
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: for as much as he doesn't do when he's away

590
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 1: from the ball, he's still an awesome catch and shoots

591
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: shooter right like you're not just leaving him standing over there.

592
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: When Katie and Kyrie are handling the ball. Whatever they

593
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: go for a small ball lineup, it's gonna be fire

594
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Kad Kyrie, like Katie playing the five, rebounding, flying around

595
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: out there. It's gonna be a tough team to stop.

596
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: And I cannot wait. There's news coming out now. James

597
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: Harden gonna be wearing number thirteen for the Brooklyn Nets.

598
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: Got it from Landry sham At people like is Landry

599
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: Shama gonna give that up? Come on, y'all, that's what

600
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: happens in the NBA. I'm gonna order one of those

601
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: tight eye jerseys. E. I don't know what have we

602
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: got about another hour here, so sixty minutes catch me

603
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: on the NBA store.

604
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm sure you can buy them already for sure.

605
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

606
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: We talked about this really briefly last night on the

607
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: Emergency podcast. If this situation with Kyrie wasn't happening right now,

608
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 3: and let's just say he had played the entire season

609
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: like with KD and Katie didn't have to miss games, Like,

610
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: does this trade happen with the Nets if Brooklyn is

611
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 3: ten and three instead of like going into last night's

612
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: before the trade, you know, six and six. I think

613
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: that's interesting. Or because of what's happening with Kyrie and

614
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: the unknown, are the Nets more inclined to like, well

615
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: we geez, I mean we got Kad right now in

616
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: his prime, Like we can't waste this, so let's go

617
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: all in on hard And I just wonder if that

618
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: factored in here and you're right about Brooklyn. Three open

619
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: roster spots, mid level exception, probably gonna have a disabled

620
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: player exception from Dinwinny season ending injury. So what will

621
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: they do and how creative can they got to build

622
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 3: out the roster which is still still fine. I think

623
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 3: you're asking a lot right now from DeAndre Jordan. I

624
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: mean you're asking from him to to do things he

625
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: can do in rebound and play some defense. So that's

626
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 3: falling off Joe Harris. He slots in basically perfect with

627
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 3: any team. I mean, he want a three point shooter

628
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: out there, give you a little D and then is Shamitt,

629
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 3: Jeff Green, Bruce Brown and TLC. That's basically your bench.

630
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: It's up to you if you're gonna put you know,

631
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 3: Ciosa and Tyler Johnson in there as well. Is that

632
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: deep enough flee or does it even matter? I mean,

633
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: if the three superstars are clicking the way we think

634
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: they could, if they're all out there. Like I had

635
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: a bet with Task last night that the Nets will

636
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 3: not win the Eastern Conference this season, and Task has

637
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 3: taken it, and a lot of people are like they

638
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: think they're the best team, but you know, we saw

639
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: this was with Steve Nash before on the cover with

640
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant. You know, things can turn

641
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 3: sour quickly. So it's like, you know, you build a

642
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: super team, you do it in two K and you

643
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: win a championship. In real life it works a little differently.

644
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: So I'm still feel pretty good about this back because

645
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: there are other good teams in the Eastern Conference too,

646
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: that could beat them in a seven game series.

647
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant, it's Kevin Durant, basically, it's up to him.

648
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 5: I think he's just so talented and he's so good

649
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 5: that who can stop him in the Eastern Conference. These

650
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 5: other guys Kyrie and James Harden do have a little

651
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 5: bit of question marks around them, But Kevin Durant doesn't,

652
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 5: you know, once he's in the playoffs, once he's performing,

653
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 5: he is a superstar who can just change the course

654
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 5: of any game or any series. The Milwaukee Bucks probably,

655
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 5: you know, just sort of thinking out aloud here, probably

656
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 5: still have the best team overall, probably, but they've also

657
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 5: got some questions come playoff time, you know, And Kevin

658
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: Durant doesn't have questions in the playoffs. He performs, He's

659
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 5: a two time Finals MVP. He's been the best player

660
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: on the court several times in the playoffs and in

661
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 5: the finals, So all those other things do sort of

662
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 5: slot in behind Kevin Durant, you know. And so far,

663
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously a lot of Nets games this season,

664
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: and I just cannot believe how good he looks out

665
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 5: on the court and how easily he's moving around. Coming

666
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 5: off and Achilles injury, which is sometimes an injury that

667
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: devastates a player and really does sort of shorten their career. Instead,

668
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 5: it looks like he, you know what, he took a

669
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 5: year off just to sort of rest and refresh, and

670
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 5: now it looks fantastic out there. So as long as

671
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant's on that roster, I think the Nets the

672
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: toughest team probably to beat in the Eastern Conference. Again,

673
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 5: there's some other good teams. Boston. We obviously Boston played

674
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 5: for about three months. It fields like they just yeah,

675
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 5: I've been playing.

676
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 3: So now the Celtics went to the top of the

677
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: East standings a week, you know.

678
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 5: And again the Bucks, the Bucks are a proven team

679
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 5: to be great in the regular season. Yeah, they've got

680
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 5: some questions in the playoffs, but yeah, Kevin Durant for me,

681
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 5: just sort of elevates Brooklyn sort of to that that

682
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 5: echelon where it's like, can you beat a Kevin Durant

683
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 5: lead team, and not a lot of teams can do that.

684
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: Biggest question you have about this entire deal, Trey, do you.

685
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: Think that this is going to go down as the

686
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: hardened tread. We already have one hardened trade and it

687
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: was a game changer in the NBA, trading from Lahoma

688
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: City Thunder to the Houston Rockets. The Thunder went to

689
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: the Finals in twenty twelve. James Harden was a key

690
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: piece of that team. The next year he was gone,

691
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: the Rockets became contenders, Harden became an MVP caliber player,

692
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: the Thunder started to fall apart, which led to the

693
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: rise of the Kevin Durant Warriors. That was a huge

694
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: moment in NBA history. We still talk about that nine

695
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: year old trade to this day. Is this going to

696
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: be the Harden trade? Though? Another He's now an MVP,

697
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: He's forming another super team. We have a complete rebuilding

698
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: project in the Houston Rockets. And then yes, we do

699
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: have the Pacers and Calves who hopped in on this

700
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: deal did a great job to got what to get

701
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: what they got, but probably not huge in the grand

702
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: scheme of things. Or is this going to go down

703
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: in history as the Dwight Howard to the Lakers trade

704
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: where we talked all about Dwight Howard and the Lakers

705
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: and the Sixers getting Andrew Biningham back, and probably the

706
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: best deal that anybody got out of that was Nikola

707
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Vucevic going too the Magic and it wasn't a game

708
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: changer for the NBA. I kind of would lean towards

709
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: the other side of it. I do think that this

710
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be a trade we're talking about forever and

711
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: ever and ever, especially once we see what the Nets

712
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: look like and how they perform these next couple of seasons.

713
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would lean towards that side too, because I mean,

714
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: you go down one or two pass here with this

715
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: Nets team there they win a championship, which is definitely

716
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: in play this year maybe even the next. Like you know,

717
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: who knows, like they're they're that good guys in their

718
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: prime or it's just a disaster, especially with these characters.

719
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: I mean, and then we're like, what were they doing?

720
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: Now they're back to be in the Nets when they

721
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: did the Pierce Garnett tray and their future is gone

722
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: for the next you know, six seven, eight years, like

723
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: it could be. It's gonna be really probably one of

724
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 3: those pasts like I don't see, like the Nets just

725
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: you know, winning fifty five games for a couple of

726
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: years here and you know, okay, they got close and

727
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: stuff like it will either be one extreme or the otherly,

728
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: it really will. And again I think that comes down

729
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 3: to just going all in like this and the people

730
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: involved in it, these alpha dogs involved. It's one or

731
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: the other and it has to be a total or

732
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 3: bust and that's why they're making this trade. But I

733
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: guess I lean towards it being positive. I guess I

734
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 3: guess I'm a little concerned. I just don't see it

735
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: this year because that just generally doesn't happen in the NBA.

736
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: Even you know, a lebron team super team isn't winning

737
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: it in the first year. So maybe next year. But

738
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: what do you think, Well.

739
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 5: It's gonna come down to what happens in the playoffs,

740
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 5: and because James Harden has played some very good playoff games,

741
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 5: but he tends to finish series badly. But again, now

742
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 5: he's in a situation where it's like if he if

743
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 5: his team doesn't advance, there's other guys out there that

744
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 5: it's like, you know, with Kevin and Kyrie that you're like, Okay,

745
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 5: maybe the other team was just better than them, but

746
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 5: it doesn't fall all on his shoulders. But perhaps it

747
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 5: will too. Perhaps it will be like, see, James Harden

748
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 5: just can't win no matter who he's playing with, you know,

749
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 5: depending on how he performs in those playoff games. Because

750
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 5: we've seen him put up forty points in playoff games

751
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 5: and be great, but we tend to see in those

752
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 5: sort of late games of playoff series he doesn't perform

753
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: as well, and he doesn't look as interested, and he

754
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 5: shoots two for sixteen and he has eight turnovers and

755
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 5: it just sort of flames out. So now he's in

756
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 5: a situation where some other guys can kind of still

757
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 5: advance the team and he can maybe hide without being

758
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 5: necessarily the best player, but he could also take some

759
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 5: hits if he sort of stinks again in those late games,

760
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like it's it sort of

761
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 5: just depends on how his overall performance goes. But if

762
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 5: the team flames out, he could still quite catch a

763
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 5: few blows from people because they're like, see, he just

764
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 5: can't win no matter what in the playoffs. He's not

765
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 5: a playoff performer. But he could also then go on

766
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 5: and win the championship, and then it could be like, well, yeah,

767
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 5: but it's because he had Kevin Duran on his team.

768
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 5: So he's in a tough spot. He's in a tough spot,

769
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 5: but you know he's.

770
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 3: I'm not going to cry for Jams.

771
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 5: Sorry, no, exactly, no, I mean, but again, I think

772
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 5: so much of this is down to Kyrie and James

773
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 5: Harden basically saying, Okay, this is the greatest chance we

774
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 5: get to win a championship. I mean, Kyra has already

775
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 5: won one of course there with Lebron, but this is

776
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 5: kind of what they with want, you know, others superstar

777
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 5: talent around them, and there's no question that they've got

778
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 5: that on paper. So in order to win, though, you

779
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 5: have to perform on the court, and you have to

780
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 5: be prepared to be like maybe maybe at the end

781
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 5: of the game, because I can't see Kyri. If Kyrie

782
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 5: Irving's feeling it, we've seen him in the games he

783
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 5: has played this season in that fourth quarter when he's

784
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 5: feeling it, he's shooting, he's going down. He's going to

785
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 5: take those shots, you know. And and that's why I

786
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 5: don't see him necessarily being like I'll sit to the

787
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 5: side and let James Harden have a turn tonight. If

788
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: Kyrie feels it, he's going for it. And if it works, great,

789
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 5: everyone's happy. But if it doesn't, then you can see

790
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 5: a combustible situation in that locker room.

791
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what's your big question then, surrounding this whole deal.

792
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 5: Well, I guess it comes down to Steve Nash. How

793
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 5: does Steve Nash manage this? Because we've we've talked about

794
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 5: it a lot already here Steve Nash. If I'm him,

795
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 5: I go to Kevin Durant and I say, listen, I'm

796
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 5: gonna need a little bit of help here with these guys.

797
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 5: Because you've played with one of them, and you've you know,

798
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 5: you've played a few games here with the other one.

799
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 5: I'm going to need you to sort of help me

800
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 5: manage their egos and have them understand the big picture here.

801
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 5: Because Steve Nash is respected as a player, no question,

802
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 5: but as a coach, you know, he's starting out and

803
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 5: those sort of you know, he's more, I would say

804
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 5: more a manager than a coach right now, is that

805
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 5: he doesn't need to tell these guys how to play.

806
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 5: He needs to manage the personalities to make sure that's

807
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 5: no one sitting on the sideline going, man, I can't

808
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 5: believe that I'm like getting the shots. I used to

809
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 5: be the guy this year I should be doing more

810
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 5: than this. So I think that's when you have someone

811
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 5: like Durant, you say, what do you think? How do

812
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 5: you think we approached James Harden? What was it like

813
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 5: when you played with him? Was a million years ago

814
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 5: of course in Okay, see and he was coming off

815
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 5: the bench, completely different role. But how would you approach it?

816
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 5: You played with Steph, you played with Clay, You went

817
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 5: into that situation that James Harden's kind of going into

818
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 5: now where it's like, you know, other guys have to sacrifice. Now,

819
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 5: Steph Curry I believe did sacrifice, and so did Clay.

820
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 5: But you know, James Harden is the one now who

821
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 5: has to be the one to be that guy who

822
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 5: has to adjust his game. So Steve Nash can handle

823
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 5: all that and get it right, then it's going to

824
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 5: be a great result. But if you know if he

825
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 5: if he's trying to sort of get guys to to

826
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 5: to play into something, and Steve Nash doesn't have maybe

827
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 5: that sort of credibility as far as coaches, though Mike

828
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 5: d'antoni's there, which should help Antoni and James Harden. I

829
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 5: mean their relationship was fine in the end, I think.

830
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 5: So he's got those people around itim, but it's it's

831
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 5: gonna be tough because he's the head coach that he's

832
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 5: going to get all the questions. He's going to get

833
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 5: all the media attentions like you know, oh, what were

834
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 5: you thinking here? Why did you do that? Did you

835
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 5: bench this guy? Did you leave him on the court

836
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 5: too long? All those things. So it's going to be

837
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 5: tough for a first year coach to deal with all that.

838
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: Steve Nash is going to be having a lot of

839
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 3: postgame beers, post game wye dicking off the edge. He's

840
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 3: already talking about that. I think it's going to get

841
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 3: even more extreme. The question I have just a minor

842
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: question because I think you guys are knocking it out

843
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: of the park because the big question is, you know,

844
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 3: the Nets and their championship or bust mentality here and

845
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 3: how it all works, but I just tweeted it out

846
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 3: before we jumped on here. I'm curious, especially as a

847
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 3: Raptors fan, but other teams too, was Massiu Zieria and

848
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 3: Bobby Webster and the Raptors, you know, were they trying

849
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 3: to sneak into this deal too, to get like a

850
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 3: Jared Allen. We talked about the Raptors needing a center,

851
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 3: you know, was there something there that could have happened

852
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: and could they have made that work? Or other teams

853
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: like what the Pacers did and the Cavs teams. I mean,

854
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: I just love, I love, I love, love love to know, well,

855
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: what were those other teams offering and trying to get

856
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 3: in the mix, and even the Sixers as we talked about,

857
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 3: like what were they really willing to offer Simmons and

858
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: who and how many picks? So that's just a question

859
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 3: for me because I love the Jared Allen pick up.

860
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: That's awesome, just awesome. And I also loved the Karis

861
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: Lavert move by the Pacers just because they were going

862
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 3: to lose Oladipo. Just as we wrapped this up here, yeah,

863
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: go ahead.

864
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: I had one more minor question for the Skeets regarding

865
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: Karris Lavert, I think he's going to be an All

866
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: Star now before Shaie Gilles.

867
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: Alexander No, no, no point.

868
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: Game up for grabs there in Indiana.

869
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, it is. Look again, talked about it

870
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 3: a little bit last night. I love it. I love Lavert.

871
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: I've compared him to Oladipo before Oladipo made his way

872
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 3: to Indiana and was, you know, given the opportunity to

873
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: really flourish and be a lead guy. He turned into

874
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 3: an All Star, he turned into an All NBA guy.

875
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: I don't think Lavert is quite on Oladipo's level yet,

876
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 3: but my point is I could see him growing into that.

877
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: I love it, but no, the answer is no, it's

878
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: Sabonis is a lock. I'm a big Brogden fan too,

879
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: and I think they're gonna be I think they're gonna

880
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: compliment each other really well. Lavert in him, but I think,

881
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 3: you know, if there was in some weird scenario where

882
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: there are two pacers getting All Star selections, I think

883
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: Brogden would still maybe even get the nod. But then again,

884
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: you know, I can see Lavert hitting a game winner

885
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 3: or two in an Indiana uniform and hitting some clutch shots.

886
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 3: He showed he can do that with the Nets. I

887
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers are like the hipster pick right now

888
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: for a lot of people out there. And this is

889
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 3: missing TJ. Warren. But Miles Turner is like him and

890
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 3: Bouchet are like their block percentage levels are like insane

891
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: right now. They're blocking every shot. And then of course,

892
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 3: like we talked about Sabonas and Brogden just balling out,

893
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 3: and now you've got Lavert. They're a good team. We

894
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 3: got all the holidays, man fixed it up, changed the

895
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: door play. Yeah, it's fun. It's fun there. They are,

896
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: like you know, people are already like salivating at the

897
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: idea of like, well watch the Pacers like beat the

898
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: Nets in a playoff series or something like that. I

899
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 3: could see it. I guess a little revenge there for Lavert.

900
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 3: But no, to answer your question, that was very long winded.

901
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: Not this year, and I'm loving she still. I'm all

902
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: in on SGVAV and I'll start you know that I'm

903
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: gonna win one hundred bucks from task. I'm gonna flip

904
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 3: that around somehow with you make some more money and

905
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 3: I can see it all right. Now, let's wrap this up, though, Lee,

906
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 3: who's the next big name to be traded? Because that's

907
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: what we do in the NBA. As soon as one

908
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 3: of those dominoes falls, we move on to the next one.

909
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: Who is it?

910
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 5: You look ad play a power and you look at

911
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 5: what Anthony Davis did in New Orleans. He was there

912
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: for a while and he had enough and he decided

913
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 5: to force his way out and he got his wish.

914
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 5: James Harden got his wish out of Fuston after right

915
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 5: seasons there. Bradley Beal yesterday tweeted, just wow, Capital letters.

916
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 5: He's in his ninth season in Washington, having a great

917
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 5: individual season, but they are thirteenth in the Eastern Conference.

918
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 5: Does by is Bradley Beal just at the point where, yeah,

919
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 5: what am I doing? You know what am I doing here?

920
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 5: This franchise hasn't done anything really like and look, Beal,

921
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 5: he averaged thirty a game last year. He's averaging thirty

922
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 5: four a game. I think he is much better than

923
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 5: just a guy who's putting up numbers on a bad team.

924
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 5: I think there's a much better role for him out there.

925
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 5: I just wonder if he starts to think like, yeah,

926
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 5: all right, it's time for me to sort of flex

927
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 5: my muscles a little bit here and try to move

928
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 5: to a better situation, because again, man, I mean, how

929
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 5: can the Wizards be having a season? I think it's

930
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 5: only the Raptors who is We've got the standings right here.

931
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 5: It's the Pistons and the Raptors are below them, and

932
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 5: that's it in the Eastern Conference.

933
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: And now it sounds like Westbrook could be out for Yes,

934
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: with this quiet injury, it's not going to get better.

935
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 5: So I just sort of think if Beal's looking around

936
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 5: in season nine just going like, oh my god, I'm

937
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 5: going to be in a battle here just to make

938
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 5: the play in tournament, it looks like so maybe it's

939
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 5: time for him to just say, yeah, I need to

940
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 5: go somewhere else too. I think the Wizards are probably like, yeah,

941
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 5: look at the hall that people are getting out there.

942
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 5: Maybe that's what we need as well. Maybe get that

943
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 5: young player, get a few draft picks, and let's start again,

944
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 5: because clearly they're not moving in the right direction in Washington,

945
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 5: and I think it'd probably be good for both of

946
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 5: them to move on and start fresh and give Bal

947
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 5: a chance to go play for another team.

948
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Bradley Beal. That's an obvious pick, and I could

949
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 3: see it happening, and it all really just comes down

950
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 3: to bal right, whether he would want to force their hand.

951
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 3: That's what it comes down to with these guys. It's like, yeah,

952
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 3: nothing's happening here. I don't see a future trade me

953
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: just go get a bunch of picks and get some

954
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 3: young guys back because I want to go try and

955
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: win a championship or at least go deep in the playoffs.

956
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 3: Who do you have trade to have, Bill or do

957
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:51,959
Speaker 3: someone else?

958
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: I think Andre Drummond is the next guy that's going

959
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: to be on the move. He's actually been really good

960
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: for the Calves. He's been really good for the Internet,

961
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: coming up with these sees time after time, and he's

962
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: definitely uped his trade value last year. He was traded

963
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: for literally a bag of beans last year. John Henson,

964
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: John Henson, could you maybe pry a first round pick

965
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: for Andre Drummond? Maybe a team like the Raptors is interested.

966
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: I kind of want to find a way to get

967
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: him to the Golden State Warriors. I was like Lee

968
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: Ella's hitting that trade machine last night. Time is a

969
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: flat circle. Andrew Wiggins returning to Cleveland. Oh my god,

970
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: for Andre Drummond. Jared Allen is going to be the

971
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: center there. He's gonna be He's a restricted free agent.

972
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: They're gonna want to sign him to a deal alongside

973
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: the sex Land backcourt, alongside Isaac Accoro. And like I said,

974
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: Drummond has been good, so he's helped the development. I

975
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,479
Speaker 1: think of both of their guards as well. Just playing

976
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 1: with a solid pick and roll guy, somebody who's gonna

977
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: actually be able to guard the rim. And let's not

978
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: forget the Lakers are dominating right now. They are barely

979
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: trailing in these games. They're playing. Lebron is in flip

980
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: flops by the end of every single game, and they've

981
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: got two guys who just eat inside when it comes

982
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: playoff time. The Warriors don't have that. Could they talk

983
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: themselves into wanting a go I like Andre Drummonds, somebody,

984
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: a big guy just to throw out there, to bang

985
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: with Anthony Davis, to be at the rim when Lebron

986
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 1: Is feasting inside. Big guys were all the rage over

987
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: the off season, and we've been talking a lot about

988
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: perimeter guys. With this trade, I think there's an opportunity

989
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: for some bigs to be hopping out of Cleveland that

990
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: could actually help some teams.

991
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good pick. I have that in my

992
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: notes as well. I'll also pick a team that was

993
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 3: involved here that could move a guy, maybe not a

994
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 3: star anymore. But can the Rockets find a taker for

995
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 3: Eric Gordon's contract? Remember him?

996
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

997
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 3: You know, he's actually a decent player when he's healthy

998
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 3: and playing. That's a bit of a problem when it

999
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 3: comes to Eric Gordon, but yeah, it's a big contract.

1000
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 3: They're obviously looking towards the future here. We still think

1001
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 3: they're going to be decent. But I could see somebody

1002
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 3: talking to themselves and thinking, hey, Eric Gordon as like

1003
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 3: our third best player on this roster, fourth best player. Yeah, sure,

1004
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 3: sure we can try and make a deal. Now, you

1005
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 3: got to get make the money work. So that's the

1006
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: difficult part. But I think he's a guy to watch.

1007
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 3: But it would help if he you know, he's out

1008
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: there getting some minutes in and getting trade ump it,

1009
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 3: upping his trade value a little bit like the Kavs

1010
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: are doing with Drum, and that'll help the chances. Let's

1011
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: hear from you guys, though, With all of those questions, winners, losers,

1012
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: big cues about it, and uh, of course, just who

1013
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: do you think is going to be the next big

1014
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 3: name traded? Because that's all we do here in the NBA. JD,

1015
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: what's up man? You jumping on and say, hi, no,

1016
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 3: that was an accident.

1017
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 6: I don't know what I'm doing here.

1018
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 3: JD had like a hot take exactly.

1019
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,479
Speaker 6: Now, just enjoying the show.

1020
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 7: Carry on?

1021
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's briefly touch on some of the games.

1022
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 3: Last night. Obviously went pretty long there on the hard

1023
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 3: and trade follow but three games one thing. Because we

1024
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 3: had three more games postponed on Wednesday night, they did

1025
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 3: still manage to play seven games in the NBA. So Leon,

1026
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna pick three of the games from last

1027
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 3: night and we'll just quickly touch on these. I think

1028
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 3: this one's interesting because I think it went under the

1029
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 3: raider a little bit with what was going on with Harden.

1030
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 3: But the donk Luke Danchi. She scored thirty four as

1031
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 3: the Mavericks beat the Hornets in Kristaps poor Singus's return again.

1032
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 3: This is the whoa that was out of sort of

1033
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: left field. They know what he was expecting to come back,

1034
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 3: but here he is. So, what was your big takeaway

1035
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 3: from the MAVs getting another victory, the fourth in a row.

1036
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it did take a little bit of time to

1037
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 5: get into the games last night, just sort of after

1038
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 5: the big emotional day of hard and it was kind

1039
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 5: of like it was eight eight o'clock and I'm like, oh, man,

1040
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 5: games have started already. So I went back to check

1041
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 5: in and yeah, it was Kristaps Porzingis. He played twenty

1042
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 5: one minutes, took sixteen shots for the Mavericks. Looked pretty

1043
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 5: good out there, looked pretty good, hit some threes Defensively, Look,

1044
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 5: he changed quite a few shots, And I mean that's

1045
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 5: a big thing for the Mavericks. They need someone who

1046
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 5: can play defense. He's not a great defendive. He's a

1047
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 5: big body's a long body. He's got those arms, and

1048
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 5: that's what's really important.

1049
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: Now.

1050
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 5: He was on a minute's restriction, and he sort of

1051
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 5: talked about it after the game, joking around, sort of

1052
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 5: saying like he was a bit anxious just to sort

1053
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 5: of do as much as he could because he knew

1054
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 5: he wasn't going to be out there all game. But

1055
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 5: so far earlier early returns there for the Mavericks They've

1056
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 5: got to be pretty happy because I don't think the

1057
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 5: Mavericks can go very far unless they're at full strength.

1058
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 5: I mean, like every team, of course, you need your

1059
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 5: best players out there, as great as Doncic is. I

1060
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 5: just sort of feel, particularly in that Western Conference, that

1061
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 5: the Mavericks have a ceiling of about the sort of

1062
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 5: second round without their full full strength. So getting pussing

1063
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 5: this back now, I'm interested to see how much he's

1064
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 5: going to play this season. Will he play back to backs?

1065
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 5: Will they get him out there and off that minutes

1066
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 5: restriction as soon as possible? Because offensively, no problems at

1067
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 5: all here with the Mavericks. Just a few questions defensively,

1068
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 5: and yeah, so good win. Good revenge victory for the

1069
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 5: Mavericks over the horn as the horn Is punked them

1070
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 5: down in Dallas earlier in the season. So funny little

1071
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 5: moment there, Luka Doncic had to lay up a wide

1072
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 5: open layup.

1073
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 3: He should have.

1074
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 5: Dunked it, and he didn't, and his teammates on the

1075
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 5: bench started ripping him for it. So got a bit

1076
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 5: of an old man game already. I think, Luka Doncic,

1077
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 5: you know, he doesn't go down to throw down the

1078
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 5: windmill or anything like that, but his teammates wanted to

1079
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 5: see a dunk. So pretty good night for the Mavericks overall.

1080
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, Luca thirty four to thirteen Wards ninus career high

1081
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: four blocks. And you said you're not worried about their offense.

1082
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 3: Lee with the Mavericks. Fair, They had the best offense

1083
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 3: in what MGA history last year. Here's the crazy part

1084
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 3: with the MAVs this year. And I think this is

1085
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 3: going underreported right now. I don't know what's going on.

1086
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 3: We gotta do a deeper dive. But the mass on

1087
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 3: the second best defense in the league right now, and

1088
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 3: this was without Porzingis is it just because teams are

1089
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 3: missing against them? I mean, like, I gotta again look

1090
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 3: into this. They're shooting forty four percent from the floor

1091
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 3: opponents are against the MAVs and only thirty one percent

1092
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 3: from distance versus them. Now is that going to feel

1093
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: like that?

1094
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 5: I doesn't feel like that.

1095
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 3: Second best defense in the league pairing that with right now,

1096
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 3: what isn't you know, a league wide average offense? That's good,

1097
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 3: but that boats well for the Mavericks. But is it

1098
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 3: just a case of like teams missing shots? They would

1099
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 3: normally make I don't know. I mean, maybe the Mavericks

1100
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 3: fans out there can let me know a little bit more.

1101
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 3: But I like to see what Luca did defensevely last night.

1102
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 3: I mean four blocks is four blocks, and he was

1103
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 3: all over the place defensively. So you pair that with

1104
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 3: that offense, you know, you can start seeing them going

1105
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 3: a little deeper. I le because that's a great start

1106
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 3: for them, all right. Anything to add about Porzingis's return there,

1107
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 3: tray not too much. People are targeting the MAVs as

1108
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 3: a potential Andre Drummond location. Yeah, and I think that's

1109
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 3: a little bit interesting because the Mavericks are definitely at

1110
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 3: their best I think when Kristaps Porzingis is playing the five.

1111
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: But he's also super skinny and has missed a ton

1112
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: of time in his career. So perhaps it's not a

1113
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: bad idea to bring in a guy like Andre Drummond

1114
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 3: to take the bumps for the entirety of the regular season,

1115
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 3: and then when it's clutch time, you play Porzingis at

1116
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 3: the five. I don't know if that's the smartest thing.

1117
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 3: That would probably cost you quite a few assets to

1118
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 3: bring in Andre Drummond, but I can see the idea

1119
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: of saving Porzingis's body for when you really need him,

1120
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 3: because he is instrumental to their success. They need that

1121
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 3: guy who takes them to another level and he's the

1122
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 3: only guy on the roster right now. Drummond wouldn't be

1123
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: that guy, but I think it would help save Porzingis

1124
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 3: a little.

1125
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: So who knows. The Mavericks are always a team that

1126
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: seems to be at least in the mix trying to

1127
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: acquire people. We'll see if they actually pull it off.

1128
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 3: Right and KP. He started last night alongside I had

1129
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 3: Willie Couley Stei, so they went with the Twin Towers

1130
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 3: there at least to start that game. That's interesting about

1131
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 3: Drummond and Leah can't. I can't believe you didn't bring

1132
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 3: up your Aussie.

1133
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 5: You had a great game, Josh Green.

1134
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're slry.

1135
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah Greeny.

1136
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, please call him by his real.

1137
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 5: Name, jeez. And they won for four from the free

1138
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 5: throw line. Life for greedy.

1139
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he actually sucks that all right. Our

1140
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 3: next game Giannis triple double list the Bucks over the

1141
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 3: Pistons one ten one oh one. Trey Big takeaway outside

1142
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 3: of the Bucks and the Pistons just play every second night.

1143
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 3: What is going on?

1144
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, sucks for the Pistons. They've already had to play

1145
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks three times in the first ten games of

1146
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: the season. Tough break for the Pistons. But don't get

1147
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,919
Speaker 1: it twisted. This was not a close or exciting game.

1148
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: It was nine points, but not really that close. The

1149
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: Bucks got up twenty early, they were in command all game.

1150
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: At one point in Milwaukee had made more threes than

1151
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: the Pistons had made shots. Period. This is straight up

1152
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: a bone throw right here. It was all about the

1153
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: Natzia yesterday, how they might be the favorites in the

1154
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, what it's going to be like when they

1155
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: play the Lakers in the finals. Don't forget about the

1156
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: Bucks three in a row, They've won six of seven.

1157
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: They've got the best offense in the league right now,

1158
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: just as weird as Dallas having the second best offense

1159
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: or the second best defense in the league. Part of

1160
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: that is because they're shooting forty one percent on threes.

1161
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: That's not gonna stick around for the entire season. You know,

1162
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: that twenty nine to three point performance they had against

1163
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat is still obviously affecting their season long percentages.

1164
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: But it's been cream city for Milwaukee. They're smacking teams.

1165
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: They won by nine last night. That's their closest win

1166
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: of the season. They got the best point differential in

1167
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: the league. The Bucks are still good. Giannis is still good.

1168
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: It's just easy to sleep on them because we've seen

1169
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: the same team basically for three state seasons.

1170
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. It's uh, We've talked about it, like it's

1171
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 3: tough to get too too excited about the Bucks until

1172
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 3: we just get to the playoffs and we see their

1173
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 3: matchuping whether or not they can figure out that team

1174
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 3: they got to get by who's going to zero win

1175
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 3: on Giannis and they're gonna play them differently and will

1176
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 3: Drew Holiday, you know, get them over the hump and

1177
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 3: take the next level. But yeah, regular season Bucks, they

1178
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 3: just crushed teams. They just take care of business. Yeah,

1179
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 3: they're back. Quick trivia question, Lee, how many triple doubles

1180
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: does Giannis have in his career now? Whenty ding ding

1181
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 3: Ding exactly thought, do you think that's high or low?

1182
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 3: I actually thought that was at triple doubles these days,

1183
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 3: but I actually thought it was I was like Damn,

1184
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 3: he's got twenty triple doubles already.

1185
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think he should have banked a

1186
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 5: lot last year. He seemed to just be getting a

1187
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 5: lot last year. But yeah, I actually probably low when

1188
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 5: you think about it, really because low. Yeah, I mean

1189
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 5: just because he just piles up so many stats, you know.

1190
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, yeah, the points is never going to

1191
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 3: be an issue. The rebounds is not going to be

1192
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 3: a shoe busy assis tennis cists still tennisis I know,

1193
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 3: it gets a law shoot. Yeah, when the team shooting

1194
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 3: forty one percent from three, I mean, you can rack

1195
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 3: up a good four to five assists. So I spoke

1196
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 3: giving it to a shooter for sure. So yeah, alright,

1197
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 3: twenty triple doubles there for for you, honest. Okay, final game,

1198
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 3: Lillard had forty as the Blazers tied a team record.

1199
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 3: You want to talk about threes for threes to beat

1200
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 3: the Kings one thirty two one twenty six. Blazers are

1201
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 3: down huge in this game, down twenty, That doesn't matter

1202
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 3: in today's NBA. They were down going into the fourth though,

1203
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 3: they were down five, but they rallied to beat the Kings.

1204
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 3: They hit twenty three three pointers. Uh so lights out

1205
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 3: Lillard and McCollum both six each. Then you had like

1206
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 3: Covington hitting a bunch, Gary Trent hit a couple, just

1207
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 3: an awesome, whoa boy like game from Lillard forty points,

1208
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: thirteen assists without a turnover, and then McAll them the

1209
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 3: twenty eight ten and seven. I thought Nurk played really

1210
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 3: well in this. Still they're giving up one hundred and

1211
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 3: twenty six points to the Kings. This this Blazer's defense

1212
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 3: isn't as impressive as I think some of us, myself included,

1213
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 3: thought it might be at the start of the season

1214
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 3: heading into it. When they made that move for Covington

1215
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 3: and got Derek Jones Junior and you got Nurk back,

1216
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 3: you're thinking, oh, yeah, okay, it could be some defensive

1217
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,479
Speaker 3: identity here. Then to pair with your scorers in Lillard

1218
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 3: and McCollum, and it just hasn't really gotten there yet.

1219
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 3: So it's a little bit of worry. But they got

1220
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 3: the victory. They're a weird I think, what are their

1221
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 3: what's their record? You had the standings up there? Are

1222
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 3: they seven and four? Yeah, it's like they feel they

1223
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 3: feel lucky to be seven and four. I guess it

1224
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 3: feels like they're almost like I don't know why. It

1225
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 3: feels like they're more like four and seven to me.

1226
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 3: But they got the Dubs and man two point games

1227
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 3: thirty second thirty seconds left. The Kings needed to stop. Obviously,

1228
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 3: they're trailing by two. Daron Foxes on Damian Lillard, all right,

1229
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 3: good luck with that. But Fox is quick. Man. Dame

1230
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 3: used a little like a sick little hesitation. Yeah, just

1231
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 3: you know what I'm talking about, Lea, Yeah, you just

1232
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 3: exploded to the rim. I mean, Fox stays with them

1233
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 3: and tries tries to block them, but Lillard just sneaks

1234
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 3: it up under them with that little hesitation. Oh it's

1235
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 3: so nasty. You watch it in slow mow when it

1236
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 3: looks fast.

1237
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1238
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 3: So it was incredible. Good game for the the Blazers duo,

1239
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 3: you know, sixty eight and twenty three assists.

1240
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, speaking of that duo, I mean, is this the

1241
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 5: ACJ mikes the old stats a I mean, twenty eight

1242
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 5: points a game on four seven shooting from to forty

1243
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 5: four percent from three point range, you know, four rebounds,

1244
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 5: five or sist whatever. But he certainly feels like he's

1245
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 5: taking a step up in his game this year.

1246
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, yes, put me down as a Yes,

1247
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 3: he's helped by a guy like Harden leaving the conference.

1248
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 5: It's just where the Blazers gets too. That's the other

1249
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 5: thing I think it. Lily Lilard's the default sort of

1250
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 5: all star, so will Will will he be able to

1251
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 5: sneak in there. But if they keep winning, I think absolutely.

1252
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 5: But the good thing about CJ's calling himself a shark

1253
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 5: out there because he just knows how to eat and

1254
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 5: he does he does he when he gets the ball

1255
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 5: and he's like, I'm just going to cook this defender.

1256
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 5: And he's a fun guy to watch because he's got

1257
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 5: quite a bit in his bag, as the kids say.

1258
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 3: And I'll always have to add that part when you

1259
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 3: see he's got a lot of this.

1260
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: Don't worry man. Mark Jones says it all the time.

1261
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: That guy's bringing up a bag and every time somebody

1262
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: scores a basket.

1263
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 5: I have to do Mark Jones is adding him and

1264
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 5: Doug Christie actually a fun listen on that King's broadcast.

1265
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 5: I really like the chemistry of those two. You know

1266
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 5: that the King had who was it, Jerry Reynolds and

1267
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 5: uh yeah forever Yeah, it's so good to get some

1268
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 5: fresh voices in there. Doug Christy's a he's a fun listen.

1269
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 5: I didn't wasn't a fan at the start, but he's off.

1270
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 5: Tend on him a little bit. He's a ten around

1271
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 5: on him, I guess a little bit. Uh.

1272
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 3: I love how they do the thing. They'll share clips

1273
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 3: online where they put the cameras like right on them

1274
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 3: on the broadcast. So then when there's a big Kings play,

1275
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 3: you get the reaction those guys, like Fox had that

1276
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 3: big dunk down the lanery screen the other night, and

1277
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 3: then there's a clip of Doug Christy and Mark jild

1278
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: both standing up and I love that move. It's like

1279
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 3: a uh moro ronalo Uh does the call when he

1280
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 3: used to do like the NXT calls. I don't know

1281
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 3: if he still does that and they put the camera

1282
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 3: on him.

1283
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 4: Oh.

1284
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 3: I love watching those.

1285
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been great.

1286
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 9: Uh.

1287
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: There have been a couple of legendary Christie calls. I

1288
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: feel like already the season like you're saying, skeets on

1289
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: that on the Fox dunk. I think his line was

1290
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: that's a bag by, which was hilarious. Last night, Tyres

1291
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: Halliburton had some sort of like he had a look

1292
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: off and then he shot a little floater. They're showing

1293
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: the SLOWMA replay and Doug Christy hit us with He's

1294
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: giving you the rhythm and the blues.

1295
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:14,720
Speaker 3: It's Tyres, yeah, baby boy for sure.

1296
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness.

1297
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 3: All right, So a good win there by the Blazers,

1298
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 3: you know, a little too many points given up, but

1299
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 3: in the end they got the victory. Poor Kings. That's

1300
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 3: really it. We'll move on. I know there were some

1301
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 3: other games. I'm sorry I won't get to some of

1302
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 3: your teams, but don't worry. The NBA never stops. Okay, Lee,

1309
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 5: Instagram direct message of the night because a couple of

1310
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 5: nights ago, I was looking I was looking at my

1311
00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 5: Instagram and I got a little message from an that

1312
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 5: I recognized, but I was surprised to see because there's

1313
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 5: a lot of parody accounts out there, and this one

1314
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 5: came in from former two time world heavyweight boxing champion.

1315
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 3: Riddick Bo, No, it didn't.

1316
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 5: It did, and Bo just said he said, get at me.

1317
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 5: So I got at him, and he said, Riddick bo said,

1318
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 5: what's good, partner, Bo Bo? So I responded, I thought,

1319
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 5: why not. It's a verified account. I thought, okay, this

1320
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 5: must be the real Ridick Bow. So I said, hey,

1321
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 5: what's up? Barbe Bo versus Holyfield Round ten was one

1322
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 5: of the greatest boxing round the greatest rounds in boxing history.

1323
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 5: Riddick Bow replied, my guy, thanks so much. Just roll

1324
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 5: with the punches, trying to do what to do?

00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 3: So weird.

1328
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to survive another round of this crazy thing.

1329
00:58:51,760 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 5: You're good, Riddick Bow replies. Riddigbo replied, ain't that the truth.

1330
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 5: That's what's up, partner. You're doing pretty good for yourself.

Speaker 5: Listen, if Riddick Bou wants to come on the pod

1344
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 5: and talk a little boxing, because you guys, remember out

1345
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 5: in Vegas at Summer League, one of the camera men

1346
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 5: out there, h him, used to talk boxing. I used

1347
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 5: to be a big boxing guy.

1348
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 7: No no, no, no, no, no, no, not talk boxing. You

1349
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 7: talk boxing and you were just sat there eating your salad.

1350
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 7: Gone because I used to be a big boxing fan.

1351
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 5: And that fight, that heavyweight fight between Evander Holyfield and

1352
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 5: Reddick Bow is one of the greatest fights of all time.

1353
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 5: It goes the distance and Riddick Bow wins. And you

1354
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 5: look at round ten, like Riddick Bow comes out and

1355
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 5: basically knocks out Evander Holyfield and you think, okay, the

1356
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 5: fight's over. Then Evander Hollyfield starts throwing Haymaker's back. It's

1357
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 5: just incredible, and they even sort of give each other

1358
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 5: little little hug a little dap up after that round

1359
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 5: of an incredible fight, and then what's even better. What

1360
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 5: I remember after the fight, Lennox Lewis, who was also

1361
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,919
Speaker 5: a challenger at the time, was on the commentary team

1362
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 5: or something. Riddick Bow tries to fight him after the fight,

1363
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 5: Like he gets into He's like, let's fight, let's get

1364
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 5: it on, Let's have it right now. And it's a

1365
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 5: really tense, awesome moment there because Lennox Lewis is just

1366
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 5: kind of like, I mean, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1367
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 5: knock you out, and Riddick Bow's like, all right, let's

1368
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 5: do it, man, and uh and then you it's like,

1369
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 5: if it wasn't so many people there, they almost would

1370
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 5: have thrown down right there and there it's a it's

Speaker 3: cowboy hat. That's too good. You are the Internet for

1385
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 3: a reason. What are you doing on your phone? Roxy?

Speaker 8: I mean.

1389
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 5: The thing is, you know, like, because there are so

1390
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 5: many parody accounts, when you see the little verified symbol

1396
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 3: Be great. Yeah. The real question in all of this

1397
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 3: is why is Riddick Bow reaching out to you to talk. Listen.

1398
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 5: We've got a big audience. Maybe Riddick Bow just sits there.

01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 5: Maybe he's watching right now. Riddick, if you're on there, man, listen,

01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 3: Do it live. Let's go ten rounds right now, I'm running,

1404
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 3: I'm refreshed. Give me oh man, amazing so much for

1405
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 3: a tweet of the night. I g DM of the night, though,

1406
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 3: maybe we might all have to make this its own segment.

1407
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 3: Great stuff. Leally, all right, pick them results from last night. Well,

1408
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 3: this might be our closest result yet I think here

1409
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 3: in the season. It was the Nets Knicks game. The

1410
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 3: Nets were favored by six and a half, so they

1411
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 3: had to win by seven. The Knicks just had to

1412
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 3: lose by six or less and they would have got

1413
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 3: the victory. But the Nets win by seven. I think

1414
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 3: it was a couple of free throws there late that

1415
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 3: put them over the top. So if you had Brooklyn

1416
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 3: winning by six and a half, you won. Congrats to

1417
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 3: Trey and Lee. You guys picked up a w You

1418
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 3: guys are six and eight now task and I had

1419
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 3: the Knicks. Ooh, tough, tough loss. We fall to seven

1420
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 3: and seven. So we're very close here, one game separating everybody.

1421
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 3: You don't want to be last place in pick them

1422
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 3: because you gotta do something weird. Yeah, step in the

1423
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 3: ring with Riddick bow Well wearing a cowboy hat. Okay,

1424
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 3: let's get out of partner. But tonight's pick them game

1425
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 3: is uh, it's a weird one. Uh task through this

1426
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 3: one at us. It is strange and he wanted us

1427
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 3: to note and we should. It's the Heat Sixers game,

1428
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 3: Philly favored by eleven and a half. Eleven and a half.

1429
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 3: What the heck? Heat very likely without Jimmy Butler, bam Adebayo,

1430
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 3: Gordon Draga, Kendrick Nunn, among others. So it's gonna be

1431
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 3: like this like eight man Heat roster who put up

1432
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 3: a fight the other night. So can Philly win by

1433
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 3: twelve or more? What do you think?

1434
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 2: Lely?

1435
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 5: A few unknowns there. That line's just a little too big.

1436
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 5: I think the Heat have got enough that they can

1437
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 5: at least keep it eleven and a half. Yeah, I

1438
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 5: think they can keep it within eleven points, even though

1439
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 5: it looked like it was going to be a blowout

1440
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 5: the other night, went to overtime the end in fact, Yeah,

1441
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 5: so Joelle ebiid you know, if he decides to go

1442
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 5: out and go big early on, then maybe the Sixers

1443
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 5: can blow this out. But I think I've got enough

1444
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 5: faith in the Heat to keep it within double digits anyway.

1445
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Trey, that's a big old chunk of cheese right

1446
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: there for the Sixers to cover. But I'll take it.

1447
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take the Sixers. I think they're

1448
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit more fired up for

1449
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: this game because they had Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid

1450
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: playing against the Heat, whose best player on the night

1451
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: was Tyler Here. They also got a nice performance from

1452
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: Gabe Vincent. If he's playing for the Heat tonight, that's

1453
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: good news. But I think that the Sixers will come

1454
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: out with a little bit more fire in their bellies

1455
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: for this one. Gimme Philly.

1456
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 3: I'm with Philly too. I think that line is there

1457
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 3: to try and scare you away or go on the Heat.

1458
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 3: I think Philly win big, big, big time in this one,

1459
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 3: So I'll go with Trey. I'll take Philly to win

1460
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 3: by twelve or more. Let's hear from tests.

1461
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 9: Well, I'm taking the Heat. This is still a grimy bunch.

1462
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 9: Like last season when they went to the finals. They

1463
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 9: are going to fight and scrap. I don't think they

1464
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 9: can lose by a dozen. They didn't even lose by

1465
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 9: a dozen the other night when Philadelphia got forty five

1466
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 9: from Joel Embiid.

1467
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 8: Give me the heats.

1468
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 3: All right, two of us with the Heat, two of

1469
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 3: us with the Sixers. Let's go quickly to Ridick Bow

1470
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 3: and see what deep thinks. Ritick, are you there? Not

1471
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 3: there yet? Okay, so good luck to everybody. Five games

1472
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 3: on I think tonight as of now, nothing postponed tonight.

1473
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 3: I know there's some on Friday that are postponed. But Heat, Sixers, Hornets, Wraps,

1474
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 3: Rocket Spurs that one on tn T, followed by the

1475
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 3: Warriors and Nuggets on TNT. That's a little interesting. And

1476
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 3: Pacers Blazers is another nightcap, so that should be good.

1477
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 3: We'll be back tomorrow to break those down. But of course,

1478
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 3: before we go, as promised, we hit twenty five thousand

1479
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 3: subs on YouTube. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So

1480
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 3: I guess as a thank you to you, here's Big

1481
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 3: Beef Volume one.

1482
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1483
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 4: Demontes Sibonis had twenty two rebounds against the Phoenix Suns.

1484
01:06:47,040 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 4: That's a lot of roast beef. Andre Drummond grabbed twenty

1485
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 4: four rebounds against the Milwaukee Bucks. That's even more roast beef.

1486
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 4: No dunks. We love roast beef. Which is rebounds.

1487
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 3: There, it is.

1488
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: Rebound highlights.

1489
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, to Nate Duncan for me.

1490
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, that's too good.

1491
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you're eating roast beef when you get over

1492
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 3: twenty boards, is that right? I think that makes sense.

1493
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 3: Is that sort of the number you have in mind?

1494
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: TK, Yeah, that's a pretty it's an elite rebounding number.

1495
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Once you get past twenty rebounds, that's a lot of

1496
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: roast beef. So anytime we hit twenty, anytime there's a

1497
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: couple of players who hit twenty, maybe we'll drop a

1498
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: big beef here and there.

1499
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it, So there you go. Thank you
