Speaker 1: and yes, we're good to go. I want to jump

12
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: on and talk a little bit about Damian Lillard. It

13
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: is the weekend, but you know we're into our summer season.

14
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: When it comes to No Dunks, our summer schedule, I

15
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: should say, so it's a little more sparse. So hey,

16
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: I'll jump on here on a Saturday. Let's talk it

17
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: through because that was the big news since our last podcast.

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Nine time All Star Damian Lillard has agreed to a

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: three year, forty two million dollar contract to return to

20
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: the Portland Trailblazers. He's going home. Lillard's deal includes a

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: player option in twenty twenty seven to twenty eight and

22
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: then a no trade clause. Hey, join the club, beal out,

23
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: you're in now. It's just Lebron and Damian Lillard with

24
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: the no trade clause. As all of you all know

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: because you're sickos. Damian Lillard tore his left achilles tendon

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: in the first round against the Pacers, required surgery, meaning

27
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: he's very likely going to miss the entire upcoming season.

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: I'll be shocked if he plays a second this coming season.

29
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: The Bucks waived him earlier this month. They stretched the

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: remaining one hundred and thirteen million dollars on his contract

31
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: over five years. That allowed them to go get Miles

32
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: Turner and try and keep jann Is happy, try and

33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: keep a competitive team there in Milwaukee. So Lillard will

34
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: now have a twenty five to twenty six set salary

35
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: of seventy million dollars between his Portland and his Milwaukee deals.

36
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Not a bad little paycheck there, seventy million to obviously

37
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: rehab and then continue there in Portland. Dame confirmed this news.

38
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: I think Sham's the first to have it, but he

39
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: confirmed the deal. He posted a video to his instagram

40
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: of the Blazer's locker room, ending with a frame of

41
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: a locker labeled with his name, followed by the words

42
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: together again, and then the caption he wrote, I believe

43
00:02:51,760 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: was rip City. That was seventeen whyse On? And I

44
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: believe nine exclamation points or Marx. So he's pumped. The

45
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: guy's going home. And I have some thoughts. I think

46
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I have sort of six distinct thoughts on dametime resetting

47
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: in Portland. I say think, because you know, these get

48
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: a little muddled together here, but let's call it six

49
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: and we'll try and like clearly go through them. The

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: first part is just like, I guess how exciting this

51
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: homecoming is, especially if you're a Portland Trailblazers fan and

52
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: even an NBA fan. It is sort of a feel

53
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: good story. He gets to recover from his torn achilles

54
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: with a medical staff that he knows, a medical staff

55
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: that he trusts. He can do it by his family,

56
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: with his family, he said he was doing that regardless.

57
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: If you remember, after the injury, it's like, hey, look

58
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: wherever I am, I'm going to be rehabbing in Portland.

59
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be doing it in Milwaukee, all right,

60
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: so he gets to do that, and this idea that

61
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: he's going to be around Portland's very young team should

62
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: benefit them in terms of just what they can learn

63
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: from him in the locker room on the sideline sort

64
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: of turned to him as a mentor because this guy

65
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: is like sort of you know, a living legend at

66
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: least in Portland, and you know, top seventy five player

67
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: of all time for crying out loud. I think it

68
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: was Blazer's Edge that I saw it. They explained how this,

69
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: the publicity and the goodwill surrounding Damian Lillard is the

70
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: key win here for Portland. The actual benefit on the floor, uh,

71
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: likely not to get anywhere close to that, but man,

72
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: the pr move here, especially for a franchise that is

73
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: trying to be sold, let's not forget that is huge. Again,

74
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: Blazer's Edge writing Damian Lillard is was and will always

75
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: be a glittery gem. You need a quote, you go

76
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: to Lillard. You need someone to drum up interest in

77
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: your team. Put a microphone in front of Lillard, need

78
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: a poster to hang on a billboard, High dame smile.

79
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: He is the Blazers, he has been for a very

80
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: long time. He wasn't for two years. But he's back

81
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: there and I think that means something here again, not

82
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: going to be playing for a year, but there is

83
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: this idea that he is just the face of the

84
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: franchise and obviously wants to be there and be that

85
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: face of the franchise. He never really wanted to go

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee, remember, wanted to go to Miami. Joe Cortin said,

87
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: screw that, you're going to Milwaukee, buddy, But we'll see you,

88
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: I guess in a few years. So he's back here.

89
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because Sham's reported that Dame did have

90
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: multiple mid level, exception and minimum offers from NBA contenders.

91
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: So you see a lot of people going, wow, is

92
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: he really appears to be like picking family and happiness

93
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: in that regard and loyalty to some extent over the

94
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: idea of ring chasing. Now, I want to hear from

95
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: you in the stream team and all your podcast listeners.

96
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Do you think Damian Lillard will end his career in Portland.

97
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: He's what thirty five, He'll be coming off a torn achilles.

98
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: There have not been many guys later in their NBA

99
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: careers to actually bounce back and sort of get at

100
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: least close to the levels prior to the injury. I mean,

101
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: the list is short people just say Katie and Dominique

102
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Wilkins right at this point. So he's got that hill

103
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: to climb. But I am curious if you think this

104
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: is it. He ends there, he plays like whatever, two

105
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: three more years, maybe signs another deal and rides off

106
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: into the sunset in Portland, or do you think you know?

107
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: You never know? He has the no trade clause, so

108
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: he would to help pick where he wants to go

109
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: in a potential trade in the future, or obviously then

110
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: sign you know, if he turns down his player option.

111
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which one I feel is more likely.

112
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: I guess that he just stays there now with this decision,

113
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: but maybe not. Maybe you disagree. My second point, full circle, Baby,

114
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: this is fun. I know you've seen the graphics either

115
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: on Instagram or on Twitter, people sort of showing like

116
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: the pieces that they got when they shipped out Damian

117
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Lillard and then the pieces that they still have and

118
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: all those things and how they interact with one another.

119
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Because Portland traded Lillard to the Bucks for Drew Holiday

120
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: to Manti Kamara and assets in twenty twenty three, and

121
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: then they sent Drew Holiday to the Celtics for Robert Williams,

122
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: the third Malcolm Brogden, and assets. One of those assets

123
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: ultimately led to Denny Avda, who's been really good, who

124
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: had some incredible numbers for them down the stretch last

125
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: year when they actually looked like a competent basketball team.

126
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: So now the Blazers have both Lillard and Drew Holliday,

127
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: who they just reacquired in a trade with the Celtics

128
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: this offseason in the Antony Simons deal. Plus they have Avvia,

129
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: They've got time Lord, They've got Kamara, and they have

130
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty nine first round pick and two Bucks

131
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: pick swamps. So sort of wild here. I saw some

132
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: people saying the Blazers just loaned Damian Lillard to Milwaukee

133
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: for two years and then I guess got him back

134
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: in the interest was these other players and these other picks. Yeah,

135
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: it's one way to look at it, though. You could say,

136
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, they loaned them out and they get them

137
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: back with a little wear and tear on him. In fact,

138
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's sort of broken right now, so thanks

139
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: for borrowing that and giving it back broken. But we'll

140
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: see if he can recover and get again to you know,

141
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: at least Milwaukee name type numbers, which were pretty impressive still,

142
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he still was an All Star. They didn't

143
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of team success, but obviously the guy

144
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: is still one of the greatest scorers in the league.

145
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: Went healthy. So that's just sort of funny how they

146
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: now have Drew Holiday and Damian Lillard. I'll get into that,

147
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: the idea of like sort of what they're doing here

148
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: with this roster construction. But my third point is the

149
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Blazers books. There was a lot of money to some

150
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: old guys now on this team locked up. When you

151
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: look ahead, you project ahead to twenty twenty seven to

152
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight, they're gonna owe Holiday thirty seven point two

153
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: million in what will be his age thirty seven season.

154
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant, the forgotten man. I'm convinced everybody forgets Jeremy

155
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: Grant is an NBA player. He makes thirty six point

156
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: four million in that twenty seven to twenty eight season.

157
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: He'll be I think age thirty three, so not quite

158
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: as old as Holiday or Dame. But then you throw

159
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: in now Lillard's fourteen million. Add that all up that's

160
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: like eighty seven million dollars owed to three players past

161
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: their prime, you know, and some of them sort of

162
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: coming back from an injury. So that is that's wild.

163
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean again, Holiday looked like he was slipping Jeremy

164
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Grant as I called him. He's a forgotten guy for

165
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: good reason. Now I don't know if all three of

166
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: those guys will be there come twenty seven, twenty eight.

167
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I would bet on them not, but you do have

168
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: to find trade partners. Good luck with the Jeremy Grant,

169
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: maybe more likely with Drew Holiday if a contender sees

170
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: him as a final piece. But that's a lot of money,

171
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: a lot of money. And Sam Quinn at as Sports

172
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: was like, that's a sort of a strange place for

173
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: an ostensibly rebuilding team to be all that money to

174
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: old guys, especially since most of the Blazers young players,

175
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: significant young players on their roster, will be earning in

176
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: theory market rate money at that point. Because Kamara unrestricted

177
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: agent free agent in twenty seven, Sharp's got to be

178
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: paid at some point through a rookie extension this offseason

179
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: or restricted free agency next offseason. Scu Henderson is in

180
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: the same boat as Sharp, just a year later. So like,

181
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: these are three of their more promising at least young

182
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: guard slash wing players, and they're gonna have to be paid.

183
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: So it's just like sort of a little odd. Again,

184
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: this is a feel good story. Cool, Dame's going back,

185
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: but that's eight to a million two Dame, Drew Holliday

186
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: and Jeremy Grant come twenty seven to twenty eight, But

187
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: that's a couple of years out and maybe moves will

188
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: be made and they probably will be the backcourt logjam.

189
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: I guess this is my fourth point here what happens

190
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: when Damian Lillard does get healthy, Like, what's gonna go

191
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: on here? Is he going to be comfortable coming off

192
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: the bench? Is that insane? I mean, Dwayne Wade did

193
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: it when he went back to Miami. He played a

194
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: full year and a little bit of a second season

195
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: in ninety plus games. He barely started. But like, is

196
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: Dame doing that or does that depend on how Scoot Henderson,

197
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: Slash Shade and Sharp play this coming season when there

198
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: is no Damian Lillard even out there on the floor.

199
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a huge part Like are these guys

200
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: Scoot and Sharp? Are they legit quarterstones? To your franchise.

201
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: I think that the pressure is sort of there there

202
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: for both of them, and because like again, like what

203
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: are you gonna have holiday Dame and then these two

204
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: young guys. You could convince me you can try and

205
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: start all three of them, but then you're squeezing out

206
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: some of your good defensive players from the starting lineup,

207
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: Kamara or Addio being one of them. Like, so it's

208
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: a huge year for me to see what type of

209
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: player Scoot and Sharp can really be. I have a

210
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of faith in Sharp. Of course, that's my you know,

211
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: Canadian bias showing, but I think he is a really

212
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: good player. I know he struggled at time to stay healthy,

213
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: but it's fascinating because the whole reason they sort of

214
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: traded Damian Lillard in twenty three because they had the

215
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: new draft pick in Scoot Henderson and he started very slowly,

216
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: very poorly, but has shown at least promise. Or the

217
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: last little bit, I had forgotten that Damian Lillard scored

218
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: thirty two point two points per game in his last

219
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: Blazer season. That's crazy, thirty two point two just wild.

220
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: So before he gets traded, he's still an elite score

221
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: And again it was a you know, not in a

222
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: lot of victories there and maybe the frustration of why

223
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: he eventually wanted out to try and go win something.

224
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: But he's back, and this backcourt logjam is gonna be fascinating,

225
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: and I think I'm big part of it does depend

226
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: on if Scoot and Sharp really pop here or not,

227
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: then maybe your decision is easier when Damian Lillard returns.

228
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: My fifth point, it was a little fun. I saw

229
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: the Bounce have fun with it in their newsletter, wondering

230
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: where this Damian Lillard reunion could rank him among other

231
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: reunions we've seen over the last you know, let's call

232
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: it twenty years or so. A few notable ones to

233
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: go through. Steve Francis returning to the Rockets, remember that,

234
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: probably not because he only played ten games when he

235
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: came back. Obviously had success early in his career with

236
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: the Rockets. Think give me three All Star teams in

237
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: like five or six years, and then he was off

238
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: and when he came back, played ten games and then

239
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: he had surgery on his squad and that was basically it.

240
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: Scotty Pippen returning to the Bulls six time champion when

241
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: he was at Jordan and then he's off and when

242
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: he eventually comes back, he's old. He played twenty three

243
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: games Pip did averaged like six points per game in

244
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: limited time. Again, these are ones where it's like, oh,

245
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: bring the legend home. Alan Iverson returning to the seventy

246
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: six ers similar to Pippin, but he's Alan Iverson, so

247
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: he scored a whole lot more. He averaged fourteen points

248
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: per game in twenty five games in his final year

249
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: there in Philly, and that was after a cup of

250
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: coffee with like the Grizzlies. Obviously he had played in

251
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: what Detroit and Denver and stuff like that, but he

252
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: went back to Philly. He played, call it a quarter

253
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: of the season. They included in the bounds Jason Kidd

254
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: returning to the Dallas Mavericks, which I think this is

255
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: completely different than these other ones for a couple of reasons.

256
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: He only played like two and a half seasons in

257
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Dallas at the start of his career, when it was him,

258
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: Jamal Nashburn and Jackson and I guess Tony Braxton. But

259
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: that's not a lot, right. He comes back a decade

260
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: later and he was there for a while. I think

261
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: he was like there for four seasons with Dallas helped

262
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: them win a championship. So that's huge, but like again

263
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: a little different to me than the other ones were

264
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: naming here where they were like legends to that franchise

265
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: and then came back at the end and d end

266
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: Ben Wallace returning to the Pistons. He did spend his

267
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: final three seasons of his career there. He had sort

268
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: of one good year and then he really fell off.

269
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Chauncey Billips returning to the Pistons is a good one again.

270
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: He played like nineteen twenty games. Dwayne Wade returning to

271
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: the Heat already mentioned that one. He played the most

272
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: games of all these guys. In a lot of cases,

273
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: he played just under one hundred games. He mainly came

274
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: off the bench, but that's how he finished. So and

275
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: then he got a weird statue, an ugly ass statue.

276
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: They should start building the Damian Lillard's statue right now.

277
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: Put some work into this one, okay, like let's make

278
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: it try and look like him. But I bring all

279
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: those up to see or to think through, like how

280
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: this reason will go. And I guess what I took

281
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: away from that is like it's not usually all that amazing,

282
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: and and on top of that, he's coming back from

283
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: an achilles injury at thirty five thirty six. It's like,

284
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't know where to put the expectations, Like, is

285
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard score in twenty plus points per game? You know,

286
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: in his in the dear he comes back or the

287
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: year after that with Portland? And then where does he

288
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: does he start? Like I said, does he come off

289
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: the bench? Is he a super sub? Is there any

290
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: team success here? They have something with their defense? Is

291
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: Chauncey billups the coach? Like? Interesting? Interesting? And then the

292
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: final real thought I have is and I have a

293
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: poll up on YouTube right now, and I see everybody

294
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: chiming in on it. Is Damian Lillard the greatest Trailblazer ever?

295
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: And will this final call it? Two? Three, maybe more?

296
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: Year's stint with the Blazers push him over the top

297
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: if you don't quite have him there, because when he left,

298
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: that did spark debate over who's the greatest Trailblazer of

299
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: all time? Damian Lillard left as the franchise leader in points.

300
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: You know, he's over nineteen thousand, knocking on twenty thousand

301
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: in a Blazer's uniform. Led the franchise in three pointers,

302
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: du led them in free throws, ranks second in assists.

303
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: He's one hundred and sixty eight behind Terry Porter, so

304
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: if he plays, you know, at all, he's passing him there.

305
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: He's third in games played, behind Clyde Drexler and Jerome Cercy. Again,

306
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: less than one hundred games from the number one spot,

307
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: so if he plays a year and a half, he's

308
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: probably got that. He's a seven time All Star, seven

309
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: time All NBA player in Portland, Damian Lillard is so

310
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: I think some people say yes, others say no. Maybe

311
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: still Clyde Drexler, he was an eight time All Star,

312
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: five time All NBA in Portland, you know, went further

313
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: more often in the playoffs, didn't win a ring in Portland.

314
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: Took him to go to Houston to get that. But

315
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, they only won what four playoff series during

316
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: his tenure. They got to the Western Conference finals once.

317
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: It's like, sounds like it should be like that, sounds

318
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: like that's wrong. It feels like you should add like

319
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, you should double that. Maybe it's because

320
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: they're so iconic in how they advanced in these playoff

321
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: series where he ended two of them. Probably that they

322
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: feel like, I feel like you can double it and

323
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: you're like, oh yeah, eight. Yeah, they probably won eight

324
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: playoffs series No. Four. That's it. And then Bill Walton

325
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: is probably the greatest Trailblazer ever, but he only played

326
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: four seasons, but he was an MVP, won the championship.

327
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: I think he was runner up MVP the year before

328
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: the Yearie one. I mean, but that's you know, again,

329
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the longevity part comes into play. It's like, is there

330
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: a difference between Bill Walton was the best Trailblazer, but

331
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: is he the greatest? Because you want to take into

332
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: account longevity, and that's where you go to Dame or

333
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: probably Clyde Drexler. I think those are your only two options.

334
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: I can't imagine somebody's making a case for Terry Porter

335
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: or Rashid or something like that, Like, I mean, who

336
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: else am I forgetting? I think those are your only guys,

337
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: Dame Drexler or Bill Walton if you're going on just

338
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: pure peak. But that to me is like as a

339
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Raptors fan, like saying Kawhi Leonard is the greatest Toronto

340
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: Raptors player ever. I mean he was for one year. Yes,

341
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: I believe that no one has played better in a

342
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptor's uniform than Kawhi Leonard. I almost called him

343
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: Clyde Leonard, but again, that's sort of not what you're

344
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: looking at when you're debating these things. In my opinion,

345
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: right that you're gonna go with a KLi Lowry or

346
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: a Vince Carter if you want to some longevity. But

347
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: you know, I'm team Lowry. So anyway, just fascinating to

348
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 1: think through the poll here, I might as well close it.

349
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: In the end, sixty nine percent say yes, very nice,

350
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty votes. That's interesting. Before we went live,

351
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: that was flipped where people were saying no. So then

352
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: the people came in, maybe the younger crowd came in

353
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: said yeah, of course Damian Lillard is and he probably is.

354
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: He probably is, and it sure will help if he

355
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: becomes the all time leader and insists like I said

356
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: in games play and starts adding to those franchise records.

357
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: So that's what I got for you. I mean, I

358
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: can take a look at the chat here, but I

359
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: just want to get that off my chest. Damian Lillard

360
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: man going back to Portland. What do you think of

361
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: his Instagram video? It felt like it happened all quickly.

362
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: They sort of mailed that one in a little bit.

363
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, this guy's usually slick with it, him and

364
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: his team when it comes to social media production. Just

365
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: the panning of the locker rooms, I mean, come on,

366
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: nothing else. I swear they had to get it up quick.

367
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, fun story, fun story. You know. Of course

368
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: he's not playing like I said, but eventually we'll get

369
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: there and again big year for Scoot and Sharp. Any

370
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: other news in the NBA worth addressing Bradley Beal officially

371
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: signed with the Clippers. I talked with Tass about the

372
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: buyout with the Phoenix Suns and him joining the Clips

373
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: because it was all but official on Thursday's podcast. Go

374
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: check that out if you want to hear our big

375
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: takeaways from that. We had Pelicans rookie Derek Queen. He's

376
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: undergoing wrist surgery. He's gonna be out three months like

377
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: the Pelicans. Man. I said this on Twitter last night.

378
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: I know I've said it on the show before. They

379
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: are cursed. They are absolutely cursed. You know, down there

380
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, somebody has got something on them. So

381
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: that sucks for them. That's the guy. Of course, they

382
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: traded their unprotected pick in twenty six four to move

383
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: up and take the guy. Isn't playing an NBA game.

384
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: He looked sort of rough in summer Lea for a second.

385
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Then he had one good game when he's missed. He

386
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: wasn't out there on the floor. Then I was like, okay, yeah,

387
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: maybe he should be a five. Anyway, he's out for months.

388
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: Great start for them and Cam Thomas he wants to

389
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: fight Zach Lowe. Should we do a tail of the

390
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: tape Cam Thomas and Zach low If you haven't seen

391
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: this cam Thomas clapping back at Zach low I guess

392
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: sort of getting aggregated right on things he said about

393
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas. You know, the gist of being like, just

394
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: like he's a scorer, maybe there's not a lot of

395
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: demand for um, you know, like sort of black hole mentality.

396
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas is like, no, no, no, man, I get

397
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: doubled more than anyone in the league. Now that's not

398
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's up there on the short list of

399
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: guys that do get doubled. The numbers actually backed that up.

400
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: Part of that probably is the other teammates that you're like, yeah,

401
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: we feel comfortable to these other guys try to beat us.

402
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 1: But anyway, I didn't have that one on my bingo card.

403
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas versus Zach Low, Yeah, he wants to smoke,

404
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: no doubt he came at him. So that's what's going

405
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: on in Summer League. I guess we have now hit

406
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: the semi finals. I've been telling you, Oh, that was

407
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: a fake account? Was it really? Oh? I legit thought

408
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: it was real, But I could have could have been

409
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: duped here as the stream team. At least somebody is saying, oh,

410
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: I need that to be real, Please be real. Uh,

411
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: it's probably more likely it's not. I'll let you say

412
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: it out loud. But I really hope Cam Thomas is

413
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: upset with Zachlow and that Zachlo is gonna have to

414
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: crack a beer to get over it. Semifinals I think

415
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: today in Summer League, yes, it's still going Uh. I

416
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: told you at the start of the whole thing, the

417
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: Raptors are gonna win the championship and they are so

418
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: book it. We got a stacked team. Man, We got

419
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: like seven or eight guys that are gonna play on

420
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: our real team. And they're all defensive dogs. Raps are

421
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: winning it. Love it before I go huge shout out

422
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: to No Dunk's super fan Matt and his wife to

423
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: be Jordan. They have been I think they've been together

424
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: like eight years and they're finally getting married next week,

425
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: so I want to wish best of luck to the couple.

Speaker 1: He's been listening forever and I have to put up

431
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: with it, listen to you fools talk about basketball. So

00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: congrats to Matt and Jordan. I hope the wedding's fantastic

433
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,240

434
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: you all out here on a Saturday. Let's hear your

435
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: thoughts on Damian Lillar going back to the Blazers. Love it,

436
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: hate it indifferent? Will he retire a Blazer? Is he

437
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: the greatest Blazer? Ever? How will this reunion, you know,

438
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: late career reunion back with his original team workout compared

439
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: to those other ones that we went through. People are saying,

440
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: can versus zach is real? Right, Yes, let's go now.

441
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: I gotta create the tail of the tape. I told Zachlo.

442
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I've I'm trying to think. Is he my height?

443
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Zachlo's around my height. He's got to be five ten,

444
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: maybe five to eleven. I don't think he's a six footer.

445
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: What a laughing figuring it through? How upset he was?

446
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: Um Jordan Miller. Wow, I just dmd you guys, asking

447
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: if you got your invite to my wedding reception. Jordan,

448
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: Is this the Jordan. This can't be the Jordan. This

449
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: has to be another Jordan, because this Jordan is getting

450
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: married to Matt. I can't keep track of all you

451
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: guys getting married. But best of luck to all of you.

452
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. We will see you early next week, probably

453
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, unless anything insane happens, but I think we'll

454
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: all be back in the Classic Factory on Tuesday. We'll

455
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: find out if Trey Kirby hit a hole in one

456
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: on his boy's golfing trip up in the Midwest. Let's hope. So,

457
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's about it. Guys, really appreciate you, like

458
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,760
