Speaker 2: Okay, So on today's drop podcast, we got a lot

45
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: to get to. We got a well worst slash best

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: of the week. Yeah, we got a little twist to it.

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: We got tweeted the night. We actually got some great

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: questions about James Harden from some of you out there.

49
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: You emailed in, you tweeted in, you let us know

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: in the YouTube comments. So we'll do a final probably

51
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: sort of little James Harden fallout from the big trade

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: this week. We got rapid fire Man. We got so

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: much here. But let's quickly touch on the games last night.

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: It's five games. One thing that we're five on. First one,

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: guys Sabonis twenty three points, fifteen boards as the Pacers

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: down the Blazers one eleven eighty seven. Now it's the good,

57
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: the bad, and the ugly for Portland. We'll start with

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: the good. Why not the good is Blazers broadcaster Lamar

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Hard giving no dunks a shout out after Miles Turner

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: stuck weggie number seven. Here's the clip, coping tin.

61
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: Whistled for the Travel Pacers ball Turner and that is

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: a weggie? Is that the unofficial term? We've gone? That's it?

63
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: Okay, he's looking for that confirmation, Yes, Lamar, second time

64
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: this season dropping the no Dunk's name on a Blazer's broadcast.

65
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: And by the way, it's not an unofficial name for it,

66
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: it's an official name. It's Weggie. I guess. The Pacers

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: broadcast was also like, what are we calling that a weggie? Yes,

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: we have been for years. It's a Weggie sign sealed

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: in the liver done.

70
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

71
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if Lamar Hurt still wants to get

72
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: on The Bachelor. I know he applied years back. But

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: if he does, we got to get him on it,

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: to get him on this shows. Yes, I mean, we gotta.

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: We got to help that guy out.

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: So that was the good for the Blazers last night.

77
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: The bad, I guess the bad was just the loss.

78
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: And despite leading the NBA in three pointers, they just

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: hit thirteen of them last night on forty three attempts

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: thirty percent. That's rough, but the ugly, and that's sort

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 2: of what we're starting here with today. During the third quarter,

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 2: use of Nurkic left the court holding his right wrists,

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: and the Blazers later announced that he has sustained a fracture.

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: This sucks. It was crazy too how it happened. He

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: did it swiping at the at the ball as Brogden

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: drove baseline and then you can see him immediately grab

87
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: his wrists. He still managed to play some defense, like

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: he contested a shot attempt inside. He actually fell to

89
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: the ground, which you would think when you first see

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: the clip is like that where he heard it. No,

91
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: he heard it when he was swiping at the ball.

92
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: And now he's out indefinitely. And this is a guy,

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: of course, tasks that you know recently had just come back.

94
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: I mean this was his twentieth I guess regular season

95
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: game he had played in since returning from that broken

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: leg way back in twenty nineteen March to twenty nineteen.

97
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: So this just sucks for the Blazers for him, of course,

98
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: after coming back from that one injury and now another.

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: I think it's Harry Giles' time. Harry Giles is a

100
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: young guy who hasn't really got a lot of time

101
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: in the NBA. Hopefully NRK isn't out for an extended period.

102
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: But let's be positive here. Maybe it's a bit of

103
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: a blessing in disguise because this Blazers team struggles defensively,

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: even though they tried to change things up with Derek

105
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: Jones Junior and Robert Covington on the perimeter this season

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: as something new because they knew that they could get

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: by in the backcourt with their offense. Nirk is a

108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: guy who struggles to defend in space. I mean he's

109
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 3: he's a little bit heavy footed. That's just the way

110
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: it is. Hopefully he comes back. I don't think this

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: is going to be anywhere anyway, obviously, anywhere near a

112
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: broken leg that he had to fight so bad, hard

113
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: to fight, fight so hard to come back from last year.

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 3: But maybe this, whatever it is, you know, six weeks

115
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: or two months, will be Harry Giles time to show

116
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: up and be that fleet footed defender every NBA team needs.

117
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: He was with Sacramento Kayings, now he's with the Blazers

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: as a backup. But if you start Ennis Canter, it's

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: a lot more of the same. It's just going to

120
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: be bad defense in the in the middle of the lane.

121
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: So maybe we're going to see some Harry Giles, who

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: obviously isn't a great defender at this point. But I

123
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: think this could be something that the Blazers need to

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: get to that next level because that defense has to

125
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: be better and it hasn't been with Nurkichi. I doubt

126
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: it's going to be with Ennis cantor so some Harry

127
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: Styles would be would be wonderful for everybody.

128
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: I think, what do you do if you're Terry Stotts

129
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: trade do you do you start cant and keep you know,

130
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: Harry Giles slash Harry Styles uh as your primary backup big?

131
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: Do you get a little creative? Do you do you

132
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: put Mellow in the starting lineup at power forward and

133
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: slide like Covington to center and like go small you know,

134
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: cove to played center of course for the pocket rockets

135
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: and then you keep Canter coming off the bench and

136
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Or do you start Giles like tass

137
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: Is maybe saying there and that keeps Canter in his

138
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: backup role and keeps Mellow where he is in his

139
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: backup role. Like what would you do if you're Terry

140
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: starts right now? Well, I wouldn't just go in one direction.

141
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: I would unleash Harry Giles.

142
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 5: I'm with as Patrick as Body points out in the

143
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: stream team, this guy has been a favorite of the

144
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 5: crew since the Starter's days. He showed up at Summer League.

145
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 5: He told us he wanted to be a dentist, despite

146
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: the fact that his hands were like as big as

147
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: my entire body. Can you imagine a dentist was that

148
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: big of hands messing with your mouth? No, thank you,

149
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 5: but I would love to see him get a chance.

150
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 5: He's a super talented guy. I think the story goes

151
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 5: he was the number one recruit in high school before

152
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: suffering some injuries, and he's just not really gotten a

153
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 5: fair shake with regards to staying on the court in

154
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 5: playing time, whether it be from injuries or just being

155
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 5: a young guy. Who knows how that would work out

156
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 5: for the Blazers. I can't imagine it would change their

157
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: defense a whole bunch. They're already really bad, though, so

158
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: they might as well give it a shot, because can't

159
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 5: not going to be the solution. We know that he

160
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 5: can get you some buckets off the bench. He can

161
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 5: show up in a playoff game and get four offensive

162
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 5: rebounds in the second quarter and really help your team out.

163
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 5: He's a valuable player, I do think, but I don't

164
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: think he's the solution in the starting lineup. I would also,

165
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 5: if I'm the Blazers, get on the phone with the

166
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: Cavaliers immediately figure out a way to get one of

167
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: those centers out of there. I don't think they're gonna

168
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 5: be able to get Andre Drummond. The price is just

169
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: too high with regards to contracts and what the Blazers

170
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 5: actually have available to trade. But maybe you could get

171
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: JaVale McGee. Maybe you could get him. He's a guy

172
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: that's played on three straight three championship teams, who has

173
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 5: started alongside stars, and who seems to just be having

174
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 5: a good time in Cleveland right now. He's shooting threes,

175
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: he's getting his minutes, and seems to be a decent

176
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 5: veteran mentor. He's only on a four million dollar contract.

177
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 5: There are ways that you could easily get javal McGee

178
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 5: from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Maybe Anthony Simon's a guy that's

179
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 5: not really in the rotation anymore, a guy that I

180
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 5: said should be traded last year.

181
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: You told me I was crazy. This guy's the future

182
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: barely ever plays.

183
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 3: Trade him.

184
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 2: Let's get a big guy.

185
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 5: They need somebody that's going to help defensively, and I

186
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 5: think it could be somebody on the Cavaliers. They've got centers,

187
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 5: bequeath them to the rest of the league.

188
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he you've been trying to work the trade machine

189
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: with the Blazers getting them a big all season long,

190
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: and now they could really use one with no nurk Acchu.

191
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: They still Zach Collins, of course, as one of their

192
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: other young bigs. So do you see something there in

193
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: the trade machine, like Treya sand either the Calves or

194
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: maybe have another potential target.

195
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 6: I'm working at feverishly here trying to get that deal

196
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 6: because exactly, the Calves have a glut of big guys,

197
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 6: but the problem is most of them, apart from Javaial McGee,

198
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 6: have a problem. The Drummond just costs too much twenty

199
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 6: eight million, so you have to throw out an enormous

200
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 6: salary to match that one there. And obviously Jared Allen,

201
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 6: I don't think he can even be traded straight away.

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 6: I think he would be the one they would love

203
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 6: to get because he's a young star, but I don't

204
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 6: think that. Yeah, exactly, the Blazers aren't going to the

205
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 6: Calves aren't going to give him up. So I think

206
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 6: Javeail is the guy who's most likely they can get

207
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 6: because he's only on a four years contract. So yeah,

208
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 6: it would cost you NASA little or Anthony Simons, but again,

209
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 6: if you're the Blazers, you can afford to give up

210
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 6: at least one of those guys, and then you're going

211
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 6: to have to find some other sort of contract filler

212
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 6: in there as well, just to just to make it work.

213
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 6: But yeah, the thing is, as you guys have mentioned,

214
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 6: there an Askanta. He can fill in that gap for

215
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 6: a brief time, but going forward with him long term

216
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 6: is just not going to work. So the Blazers have

217
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 6: to figure out something else. And I think that their

218
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 6: best option is to have to give up one of

219
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 6: their younger players who's shown talent. But in order to

220
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 6: sort of save this season or preserve this season as

221
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 6: best they can, they're gonna have to get some help

222
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: pretty quickly in their Harriagas we all like him, we

223
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 6: all think he's got talent, but and now throwing him

224
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 6: into a role where he has to play heavy minutes

225
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 6: and be a very very impactful defender, he's going to

226
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 6: be a big ass for him. I don't quite think

227
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 6: he's ready for that challenge just yet, so they need

228
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 6: some help. But again, when guys have got so you know,

229
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 6: contracts are just so big right now for those star players,

230
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 6: it's very very hard to get one of those players

231
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 6: without having to give up a lot in return, you know,

232
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 6: And I think Andre Drummond, I think he's gettable as

233
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 6: far as the Cabs have prepared to trade him. But

234
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 6: what are you going to give back in return? You know,

235
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 6: they simply you know, Rodney Hood, they just signed him.

236
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 6: But I don't think he's going to be what the

237
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 6: Cavs are looking for. So you know, it's going to

238
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 6: have to be one of those guys on a smaller contract,

239
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 6: and I think Javail fits that bill. And I think

240
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 6: Javail would be decent for them. You know, we've seen

241
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 6: him now. He's got that championship experience, and he's matured

242
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 6: as a player certainly to the point where it's like

243
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 6: you would get a professional out there who knows he's

244
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 6: got a block, shots, grab rebounds and he can do

245
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 6: that stuff. And his offensive game has expanded somewhat a

246
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 6: little bit a little bit, so you know, I think

247
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 6: I think that's the most likely scenario here as a

248
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 6: sort of as a short term gap for the Blazers,

249
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 6: that they get an experienced veteran come in who can

250
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 6: have an impact on the team without sacrificing obviously one

251
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 6: of their bigger contracts. But yeah, this is a tough

252
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 6: one for use Off Nurkic. He's, you know, just come

253
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 6: back from that big broken league that he had, and

254
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 6: he's also dealing with some issues back home in Bosnia apparently,

255
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 6: which is part of the reason why he hasn't had

256
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 6: a great start to this season. So you certainly wish

257
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 6: him all the best, and it's just it's such a

258
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 6: blow when a guy comes back from an injury, starts

259
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 6: playing well like he did down in the bubble, and

260
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 6: now he's out again for who knows how long? Who

261
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: knows this could be a few could be a few weeks,

262
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 6: could be a few months. Really we're not really sure.

263
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, are there any other potential center targets, like not

264
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: the Calves tasks that come to mind? Like is there

265
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: anything with the Hawks? Like could you get crazy and

266
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: try and get a Collins or a Capella from Atlanta?

267
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: Is there a reuniting LaMarcus Aldridge back somehow in Portland

268
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: as one of their bigs Al Horford. I'm sure could be,

269
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: you know, somehow taken from OKAC for a bunch of picks.

270
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: You know, Presty would like that. PJ. Tucker another name.

271
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: You could throw it out there if you go, like,

272
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: really like what Houston did last year. Anyone else I'm forgetting,

273
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: or any of those that like intrigue you at all.

274
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: Well, I guess Aldridge and Al Horford bring that same

275
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: sort of problem. They make a lot of bucks. Yeah,

276
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: so that would be an issue. But PJ. Tucker is

277
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: still on that very very cheap contract for him. What

278
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: is he at? He's still around like ten, eleven, twelve

279
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: or something?

280
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: I think so eight maybe I don't know.

281
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 6: They signed that four year, seven point nine million he's on.

282
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: Wow, declining contract. Yeah, sign him up sort of makes sense.

283
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna be super small.

284
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: He's used to it.

285
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, loves playing super small. The problem is that the

286
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 5: Blazers also just gave away two first round picks for

287
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: Robert Covington over the off season, so that's gonna be top.

288
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 5: Another target suggested in the stream team, could they call

289
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 5: the Orlando Magic.

290
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: For Mo Bomba? Remember Mo Bamba? He's still around.

291
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: He's very tall, not dissimilar to a Harry Giles like player.

292
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 5: Super hyped in high school. This guy had a song

293
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 5: that was a hit song made about him before he

294
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 5: played a game in the NBA hasn't done much, but

295
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 5: maybe he just needs the opportunity as well.

296
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are all, uh, you know, potential targets. I

297
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: guess we'll see if they do anything or maybe they just,

298
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: like at least at the start, say all right, Harry,

299
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: let's go man, Let's let's see that high school potential.

300
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: Let's play some defense here and get out and run.

301
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 2: We'll find out the Pacers by the way, Sobona so

302
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: as I said twenty three fifteen Brogden also twenty five

303
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: and seven. These guys are playing without Karros Lavert in

304
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: this game. He is not there yet. I like all

305
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: these guys got to pass their physicals before, Like these

306
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: guys can come to this team, to their teams, their

307
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: new respective teams. So big win though from Indiana. They

308
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: led by twenty five in like the second quarter and

309
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: sort of just maintained that little double digit lead for

310
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: the rest of it. Good good victory in Portland where

311
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: they hadn't won in a long time. So Indiana, man,

312
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, jump on board. They're a fun team

313
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: to watch and they're good. They really are. All right,

314
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: let's keep it going here. Rockets Rally passed the Spurs

315
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: one oh nine to one oh five in their first

316
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: game without Hardened. Yeah, short staffed, but they got the

317
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: victory there on TNT Trey. A big takeaway, What a

318
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: feel good win for the Rockets. This is it's like

319
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: you're saying the first game post James Harden. They're playing

320
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: a rival in the Spurs. Conditions are perfect, But y'all,

321
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: this is Christian Woods team.

322
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: Now. He's a total two name guy. I don't think

323
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 5: anybody calls him Christian. I know nobody calls him Wood.

324
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 5: It's always Christian Wood. And he was straight up ball

325
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: in last night twenty seven points, fifteen rebounds, threes, and

326
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 5: a legendary interview after the game when he called Shaquille

327
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: O'Neil a casual oh.

328
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: Right in his face.

329
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 5: I mean, to be fair, I said, I don't know

330
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: if Christian Wood is just getting numbers for the Detroit Pistons.

331
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: He started playing really well last season after all the

332
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: trades with Andre Drummond and John Henson, and it kind

333
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: of just seemed like, yeah, big guys are gonna score

334
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 5: a whole bunch. When you're big guys are gonna score

335
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 5: and rebound a whole bunch when you miss a bunch

336
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 5: of shots, and there's not a lot of offensive talent

337
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 5: to go around. But this guy looks like the main

338
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 5: piece for Houston right now, because, yeah, John Wall has

339
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 5: played well. He didn't play last night, but he's played well.

340
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 5: He's still on the tail end of the prime of

341
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 5: his career, he's still recovering from injuries, and he's obviously

342
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 5: on that huge deal. As we saw, the Rockets targeted

343
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: picks over players with regards to the package they chose

344
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 5: for James Harden, but at least Christian Wood seems like

345
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: a quality building piece. The guy was stroking threes last night.

346
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 5: He was making plays off the dribble. He plays vertically

347
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: as well. He's definitely a new style center two hundred

348
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 5: and fifteen pounds. They said this guy is skinnier than

349
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: jay E Skeets, but this was a fun game to watch.

350
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 5: The traded superstar bounce is very similar to the fired

351
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 5: coach bounce. Everybody goes out wants to prove that they

352
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: are not the reason this team is bad. Every NBA

353
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 5: player is good. As we've said before, Jayshon Tate showed

354
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: out last night. Sterling Brown hit some big shots down

355
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 5: the stretch. If you're a Rockets fan after the.

356
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: Hardened Days Night saga that has roiled the team for months,

357
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: you gotta be happy that now James Harden is gone

358
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: and you went out and your new guy that you

359
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: brought in over the offseason dominated on a national TV game.

360
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah it was. It was a fun game

361
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: down the stretch. You know, DeRozan had a pretty good

362
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: look there. I guess too to tie it up, but

363
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: uh yeah, Sterling Brown taking hard and spot twenty three,

364
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: seven and three, You're right, Tray. I mean, all these guys,

365
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: given the opportunity, can generally perform. And uh, jashn Tate,

366
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: Jashawn Tank that guy man. Guys built thirteen, ten and

367
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: five for him. So this is a great victory. And

368
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: I love the Wood. Yeah, I'm gonna call him Wood.

369
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: You're a casual line to Shaq, who didn't hear it?

370
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: By the way, I like Shack had no idea he

371
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: had said that to him, But yeah, come on, you

372
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: should know who he is.

373
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: I think I'm okay with Shack not knowing who he is.

374
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: He knows like two players on each team, I bet.

375
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, But the Pistons are never on national television ever.

376
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: They weren't even on TNT last year once. Right, So

377
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: it's not part of his job description. He doesn't have

378
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: to talk about the Pistons.

379
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: That's true. I mean, he has been on the Rockets

380
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: all this season, but he scored twenty in every game.

381
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: Number one.

382
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying, though.

383
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: He's played nine games with the Rockets. It's true, it's true.

384
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: But the funniest part is when guys on TNT don't

385
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: know anybody's name, but uh yeah and this one, yeah,

386
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: Christian what But as a lot of people thought, yeah,

387
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: maybe he's just overachieving on a Pistons team, especially when

388
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 3: the majority of those games were coming off the bench

389
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: playing against backup guys. Yeah, that's why scouts are good.

390
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: And they realized that this guy can play, and unfortunately

391
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: for the Pelicans they released him in twenty nineteen. That

392
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 3: would be an amazing fit for them if he was

393
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: their starting center right now, and probably a lot cheaper. Yeah,

394
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: you know, he's kind of you know, Hassan waitesad has

395
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: dropped off, but he is a big man that kind

396
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: of bounced around summer League that kind of thing. And

397
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: now he's found his way with Houston Rockets.

398
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: Felt good for Steven Silos there last night right lately,

399
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 2: to get that victory with the hearted thing, you know,

400
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: in the rear of view mirror, and to go on

401
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: national TV and all these guys and a lot of

402
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: people shack and casuals have no idea how these guys

403
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: are and they and they put up a great fight again,

404
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: so you know teamn the Spurs that always put up

405
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: a good fight and were right there, as I said,

406
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: down to the end. That's I felt good for I

407
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: felt happy for him.

408
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been in such a tough spot since he

409
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 6: took over that coaching job because he can't trust James

410
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 6: Hard and he wasn't going to do that. But he

411
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 6: also needed to move on from that situation that he

412
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 6: knew was a lame duck status. So now that they're out,

413
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 6: they go and get a big win against the big rival.

414
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 6: And Pop was not happy after the game as well.

415
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 6: He said, four or five these guys were out to lunch.

416
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 6: They had nothing to do with offensil defense. It was

417
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 6: in between the years, he said. So yeah, but I

418
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 6: think you could, honestly, if you've watched Rockets games this season,

419
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 6: last night. There was certainly like the pressure had been

420
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 6: released from that team, but they were just playing freely

421
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 6: and the finally that situation had been resolved, especially to

422
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 6: do it without John Wall, who has been playing decent

423
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 6: fall in this season. It was just like, all right,

424
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 6: finally we can move on. Now we know what's going

425
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 6: to happen with this team going ahead. So that was

426
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 6: good for them. But jay Sean Tate was another one

427
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 6: who spent last season in Australia's NBL, so that's.

428
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: Him and LaMelo Ball.

429
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 6: It's great to have those guys out there playing out

430
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 6: well in the NBA. It's great, great for the NBL,

431
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 6: which started last night, by the way, the NBL season.

432
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 6: If you want to watch more basketball.

433
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 2: Wow, who's looking good this year? Yeah?

434
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 6: I think the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix.

435
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: I wonder why you picked that. They said a jersey.

436
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know. I can't believe I haven't got it on.

437
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 6: I should go and get it. But yeah, it's great.

438
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 6: The NBL last season was great, great exposure for the NBL,

439
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 6: so happy to have it back.

440
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: Awesome, all right, ourn X game in the NBA from

441
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: last night Shake Milton Sparks the seventy six Ers Pass

442
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: the Underman. He won twenty five one eight task.

443
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: Big takeaway, Well, yeah, Shake Milton was phenomenal, and I

444
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: think this whole team was ready to move on after

445
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: you know, the Corona virus tracing that's been going through

446
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: their locker room and just all of the rumors going

447
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 3: on with Ben Simmons being potentially dealt for James Harden.

448
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 3: I think this team just came out focused, especially Shake

449
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 3: Milton had missed three games and he had a blast

450
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: out there, and I think he you know, he's not

451
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: the front runner for six man. I think that could

452
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: be Terrence Ross. I think Joe Harris could have a

453
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: shot if he goes to the bench with the big

454
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: three in Brooklyn, Chris Bouche. He's got to be starting

455
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: for the Raptors soon, so he's not going to be

456
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: six man. We'll get to that soon. Jordan Clarkson is

457
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: up there. But Shake Milton. It's nice when the talk

458
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 3: preseason actually comes true because Darryl Moury and Doc Rivers

459
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: were saying, look at this guy in our camp, man,

460
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 3: this guy is fun nomenal. Usually that person is just

461
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: sort of being bigged up by his front office or

462
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: his coaching staff or whatever, and that player is, you know,

463
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: the same player that he was the year before. But

464
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 3: Shake Milton, he is incredible, and I think he took

465
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 3: it a little bit personally. You know, the deal was

466
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: for Ben Simmons, but you know the rumors I should

467
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: say were for Ben Simmons, but Shake Milton would have had,

468
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 3: you know, a far reduced role if James Harden came there.

469
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: So I think Shake Milton had something to prove yesterday.

470
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: He has lived up to everything that Doc Rivers and

471
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: Darryl Mory said in the preseason. They said he was

472
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: amazing and he is absolutely that. He is a ball

473
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: handler for them, could be playing in crunch time. He's

474
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: really grown since last year. He's he's a baller, I

475
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 3: mean he is. He's going to be there six man,

476
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 3: no doubt. And I think he's going to win that

477
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: the sixth man of the Year when it's all said

478
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 3: and done.

479
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 2: Wow, there it is, Yeah, thirty one. Last night they

480
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: missed his playmaking for sure. He's good in the pick

481
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: and roll. He's got some chemistry with Dwight Dwight Howard

482
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: and all guys. They got a nice little one too

483
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: going when they go pick and roll action fantastic in

484
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: this Now the Heat, as I said, undermanned again. I

485
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: mean they don't have any of their guys, like just

486
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: nobody that you know on the Heat really are playing

487
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: for the most side of really like Taylor hero but

488
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: good good victory there with not embiid and like Simmons had,

489
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: Like do Simon's get a triple double? Yeah, an I

490
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 2: think it did, but like not monster lines by any

491
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: means from Dwellingbeard or Ben simmons Ley and they still

492
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 2: get the victory with everybody else contributing.

493
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 6: I was very impressed with Ben simmons response to the

494
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 6: trade because he kind of powdered the other night. He

495
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 6: didn't look like he was into it. And he goes

496
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 6: out there last night against a shorthanded team for sure,

497
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 6: but gets a triple double. But also the way he

498
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 6: spoke after the game, he kind of acknowledged it. He said,

499
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 6: this is a part of business, you know. I just

500
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 6: can control the things I can control. And this is

501
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 6: someone who I mentioned the other day hasn't responded well

502
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 6: to sort of snubs in the past from Basketball Australia,

503
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 6: and I think this would have been a tough blow

504
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 6: for him to deal with when he realized, like they

505
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 6: tried to trade me for James Harden, it didn't happen.

506
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 6: So the best response you can do is to just

507
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 6: accept and understand that was part of the business and

508
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 6: then go out there and play on the court the

509
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 6: best way you can. And I thought he had a

510
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 6: very good performance last night again to go and get

511
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 6: that triple double, that's the best way to sort of

512
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 6: silence everyone and to just move on and say, yep,

513
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 6: I mean that happened, but it didn't happen in the end,

514
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 6: So I'm just going to go out there and do

515
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 6: what I do best. And he was good last night again.

516
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 6: I mean, he didn't have to go out there and

517
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 6: destroy the other team. He just had to play and

518
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 6: show that he was probably the best player on the

519
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 6: court there last night, and I think he did that.

520
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 6: So very very impressed with his response to his first

521
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: sort of real you know issue where he's had to

522
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 6: the team has basically said, we tried to trade you,

523
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 6: but we didn't, so now we're going to move ahead

524
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 6: with you.

525
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean you say he put the toothpaste back

526
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: in the.

527
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: Tooth he did.

528
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 6: I would say he did do that, Yes.

529
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 5: Ninety nine times out of one hundred, it can't be done.

530
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 5: That means one time, one time.

531
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: That was the one time.

532
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 6: And honestly, like I say, I didn't think he would

533
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 6: have responded so quickly so well to that. I thought

534
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 6: it would have taken him a few days to sort

535
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 6: of to deal with it, because it must be tough

536
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 6: when you're a star player, you got the big contract,

537
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 6: you're an All Star, and then all of a sudden

538
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 6: the team's like, yeah, but we think that someone better

539
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 6: than you, so we're going to trade you. I mean,

540
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 6: it must be hard to deal with for a young time, and.

541
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: Not even just Simmons, like other guys on that roster.

542
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: Names are being thrown out like young guys right at

543
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: that in Maxie and Thibel. Yeah, it either does one

544
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: of two things. All those trade rumors they have an

545
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: effect I think on the guy psyche in the locker room.

546
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: It's like it either once it's done and doesn't happen,

547
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, you struggle to move on from it, Lee,

548
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: like you were saying, as we thought maybe would be

549
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: the case with Ben Simmons, or like Ken galvanize a team.

550
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: I think a little bit too, like all right, we're

551
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: all here, let's let's go. Let's go to war at

552
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 2: least for now, and you know, sort of brings them

553
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: together a little bit more. It can do that.

554
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 6: Remember when Anthony Davis was basically being traded to the Lakers,

555
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 6: and Kuzma and Lonzo Ball and Ingram, those guys basically said, like,

556
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 6: we felt bad in the locker room because the Lakers

557
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 6: were like, yeah, we're trading all you guys for Anthony Davis.

558
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 6: Then it fell through, right, so they had to sort

559
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 6: of move ahead knowing that the team, I mean, Magic

560
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 6: Johnson I think it was basically he said, yeah, we

561
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 6: got to trade all these guys, you can take whoever

562
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 6: you want. We want Anthony Davis. And it fell through,

563
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 6: and that did create division within that locker room and

564
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 6: created a bad environment.

565
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so far, so good. One game for the

566
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: Sixers again, ticking on the under man heat. They got

567
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 2: it done all right. Next one Yo Kich and the

568
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 2: Nuggets hold off Curry and the Warriors one fourteen one

569
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: or four win, ten point win. They're for Denver Lely,

570
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: what do you got?

571
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 6: This was an impressive victory from the Nuggets because they've

572
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 6: been inconsistent this season, and after that first five minutes

573
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 6: or so, the Nuggets it was a WY to WY

574
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 6: victory from like the forty four minute mark onwards. And

575
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 6: that's something we just haven't seen from them this season.

576
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 6: They haven't really been able to sort of close teams off.

577
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: The Warriors.

578
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 6: Steph Curry was great, but too many turnovers, too many

579
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 6: sort of sloppy passes, and the Nuggets cashed in on those,

580
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 6: I thought last night, which is something they need to do.

581
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 6: They need to be a team that beats teams like

582
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 6: the Warriors, because they're a better team than the Warriors,

583
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 6: and we just haven't seen that so far. So yo

584
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 6: Kich triple double, very good performance again by him. And finally,

585
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 6: I just sort of watched the Nuggets and I thought,

586
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: this is closer to their better, the best version of themselves.

587
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 6: They're still missing a few players, of course, but that's

588
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 6: what they need to be like and Yokich, Yeah, he's

589
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 6: just a beautiful player to watch out there on the court.

590
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 6: And they got a good victory. So it's taken them

591
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks here to show up. Jamal Murray

592
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 6: still can't shoot, but I think they're starting to find it.

593
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 6: I think so after that they'll probably go out and

594
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 6: lose the next time. Got twenty points, but you know,

595
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 6: because the Worry is a tricky team right now, they're

596
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 6: a very tricky team, especially with Draymond out there, just

597
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 6: gives them a completely different look. And that was the

598
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 6: sort of game where it's like, you can see the

599
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 6: Nuggets at home blowing this one, but they didn't do that.

600
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 6: So good on the Nuggets for getting a somewhat convincing victory.

601
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: I always love to see how a coach and a

602
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 2: team tries to take on a squad like the Warriors

603
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: that's really a one man offensive show, like and what

604
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: I mean by that is, do you try and take

605
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: away Curry and make everybody else try and beat you,

606
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: or do you actually let Curry get his You can't

607
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: start Kurry. You can only help to contain them and

608
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 2: take away everybody else. And I think that's what they

609
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: sort the Nuggets sort of did in this one a

610
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: little bit more. But I love that sort of bait,

611
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: like you know, you see we've seen, of course, how

612
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: the Raptors play like a Curry and how they play

613
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: like a lizard and stuff like that, and other teams

614
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: do I just love like which one and maybe it

615
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: changes from night tonight and maybe you need to mix

616
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: it up, Trey, but it's sort of fun to watch, Like, no,

617
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: let let Curry is gonna get his, but just take

618
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: away everybody else and the points aren't gonna be there

619
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: in the end for to get for that team to

620
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 2: get the victory.

621
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 5: Well, unfortunately, everybody else is the problem for the Warriors,

622
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 5: and that's why it's time for them to make a

623
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 5: change in the starting lineup. You cannot play four non

624
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 5: shooters with Steph Curry. I know Andrew Wiggins is stroking

625
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 5: it right now, he's almost at forty percent from three,

626
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 5: but he's still not a guy that inspires fear in

627
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 5: the hearts of a defense. When he catches the ball

628
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 5: out there, you're like, Okay, shoot a bud, maybe you'll

629
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 5: make it because you're not gonna be making a play.

630
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: It's it should be a pick and roll with James

631
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: Wiseman or Draymond Green every single time down the court.

632
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 5: David Lee needs to be into the starting lineup for

633
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 5: Kelly oubre Junior.

634
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: I love David Lee. I wrote down d Lee. I

635
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: don't give me Damien. We've been talking about mellow being

636
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: the new mellow. Lee is the new d for the Warriors.

637
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, don't just put d Lee in your notes.

638
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: So if you're an old man.

639
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 5: But I know Steve Kurr doesn't want to do it.

640
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to play hero ball. But when you're

641
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 5: going up with James Wiseman, who has an athletic advantage

642
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 5: over Nikola Jokic, that should be a rim run every

643
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 5: single time. They should have had Yokic in the pick

644
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 5: and roll every single time down the court because that's

645
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 5: the easiest way for the Warriors to generate points. It's like,

646
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 5: why are you having Steph Curry set screens? That's what

647
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 5: you've done for years and it's worked for years, But

648
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 5: you had Klay Thompson out there. There's nobody else to

649
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: take the attention off of Steph Curry. He cannot carry

650
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 5: the team entirely because he's the only guy that can

651
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 5: get a shot for anybody. Maybe David Lee would help

652
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 5: on the short roles, finding guys in the corner. But

653
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 5: I think it's time now. The offense isn't quite good enough.

654
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 5: They didn't have it defensively. It's been a long week

655
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 5: for the Warriors. I think they played five games in

656
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 5: eight weeks. Now they got three days off to kind

657
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 5: of rest and recoup it stuff going into Denver, no

658
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 5: doubt about it. But I've seen enough of this bad offense.

659
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 5: When you got one of the best offensive players out.

660
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: There, maybe Steve kuru will take your advice there and

661
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: they start switching it up a little bit. Yeah, they've

662
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: played a lot, you're right over the last eight days.

663
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: Five is it? Five games? Holy man? That is ton Well.

664
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: Our final game from last night, Raptors hold off the

665
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: Hornets to snap a two game losing streak. They got

666
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: the victory task. It wasn't all that inspiring though, scoring

667
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: twelve points in the fourth quarter. Though, there were some

668
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: good takeaways for Raps fans. What's your big one?

669
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah, it feels a little bit like the Raptors.

670
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: It feels like some second tier guys, you know, some

671
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: of those guys deep on the bench are starting to play.

672
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's a bit of the Raptors culture. I'm

673
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: not even gonna say the Miami Heat I just did,

674
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: but the Raptors have that same culture as well. Right,

675
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: You got Utah watsonabe out there bawling. Yeah, he played

676
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: Cayl Lowry. Yeah, he's just a it's just a tough

677
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 3: sob out there. I remember last year when we were

678
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: at the Chicago All Star Game, we happened to see

679
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: Utah Watanabi in a lobby of a hotel, very unassuming,

680
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: you know. We just walked by. I think it was

681
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 3: Trey and I and I was like, yeah, that's Utah Watson.

682
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 2: No, I'm just.

683
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: Talking to him. I love how Robby and the lobby

684
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: that's Watson lobby. Yeah. Kyle Lowry calls Watson Abby, says,

685
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 3: the team calls him Bobby Webster, who is the Raptors

686
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: GM because it kind of looks like.

687
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit. They're both very handsome men.

688
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: They are handsome men. Webster. Yeah, I think it comes

689
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 3: from Japanese descent as well. And my man Dave sat

690
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: and said, Utah Watsonabi reminds him of Jorge Garbajosa. I

691
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: think that's pretty fitting. Like he gets on the floor,

692
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: he moves the ball. He could put the ball on

693
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: the floor as well for a few dribbles. He just

694
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: makes the right play. There's that inbound in the first

695
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: half where it looked like they were going to lose

696
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: the ball, but Watson just made the smart play to

697
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: steal it. Like he's just great and Air Korean actually

698
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: has a great write up on him on the Athletic

699
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 3: But I want to talk about Chris Bouche. Who is

700
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: He's just He's a blast to watch. He's twenty eight

701
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 3: years old. He blossom really late in the league. You're

702
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 3: talking about the Golden State Warriors and a little gem

703
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: that they had. He was on their G League team.

704
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: He was a two way player for them. I think

705
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: he got a ring back in twenty eighteen. He played

706
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 3: like half a game for them, but I think he

707
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: got a ring, and then he went to the Raptors

708
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: and won a ring. He keeps starting in second halves

709
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: because they just don't have a great sending a center role,

710
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: Like they don't have a good spot for Aaron Bains

711
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: to find anything. He can't get anything going, and so

712
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 3: Bouche comes in and balls that he had twenty five

713
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: and ten in this one, And I wonder at some point,

714
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 3: even though he's foul prone, and it sure makes sense

715
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: to start in the second half, his nick Nurse turned

716
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: to Chris Bouche because that guy can shoot the three stretches.

717
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 3: The floor. He's confident in his hell and he's Canadian,

718
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: so you know, I love the guy. So I would

719
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: like to see Chris. Don't call me Bobby Bouche, as

720
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: the Nuggets broadcasters once called him to start get him

721
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: in there. He I think they need some hope, some

722
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: help on the offensive end because Aaron Bains just ain't

723
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: cutting it right now, and Alex Lenne wasn't in this one,

724
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: but he ain't cutting it right now. But yeah, it

725
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 3: felt a little more Raptor like. And now they have

726
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: a quote unquote home stretch here in Tampa where they

727
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: gonna play some games. So everybody, everybody kind of you know,

728
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: they played hard. They played hard, and that's all you

729
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: can ask from this Raptors team. I think they're gonna

730
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 3: get wins. Lowry's quote let me read this for about

731
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: Utah Watson AVI because I just saw it out of

732
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 3: the side of my eye. The kid is playing so hard,

733
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 3: so hard, he plays so hard. Then he talked about

734
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: everything he does and his last line was, he just

735
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: plays with an extreme hardness. That's right, hardness, baby, That's

736
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: what the Raptors gotta play with, and they can get

737
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: they can get back right Skeets are three and eight,

738
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 3: but they can get back to five hundreds. They can

739
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: do it.

740
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: It's the greatest three and eight team in NBA history.

741
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: You all know that. Yeah. It was a brutal fourth quarter.

742
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean it was.

743
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 4: It was rough.

744
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: They scored twelve points five to twenty three, one of

745
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: eleven from deep. I mean, you saw a lot of

746
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 2: zone from the Hornets. You're gonna see a lot more

747
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: of it on Saturday, I would think when they play again,

748
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: because it was working that one three one zone. So

749
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: hopefully the Raptors are a little better prepared. But Bouchet,

750
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: you're eight tasks. I want to know Lee, does Australia

751
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: still consider Aaron Bean's one of theirs? Or is he

752
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: back to being a New Zealand boy, because yeah, it's

753
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 2: like back to the island.

754
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 6: Oh man, Yeah, he can't. He can't get into his

755
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 6: groove right now, that's for sure. In and out of

756
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 6: the lineup a little bit doesn't help. But when he's

757
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 6: been out there, he hasn't been great. But they need him.

758
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 6: They need him because if he's at his best. I

759
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 6: think it's great for the Raptors to have a big

760
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 6: guy who can defend and stretch the flora floor a

761
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 6: little bit, because that's what he did in Phoenix, but

762
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 6: I haven't seen that Aaron Baines yet in Toronto. Yeah,

763
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 6: I think I still believe in him because he's a

764
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 6: very professional player. He keeps himself ready to go. He

765
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 6: can take he can ride the pine a little bit

766
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 6: and take those DNP CDs. He'll be ready to go

767
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 6: when he's called upon and.

768
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: Mark he can catch the ball. He can't rebound, he can't.

769
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen him grab a rebound

770
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: with two hands. He taps, taps, taps. He does that

771
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: like he's done his robbin out there. And I hate

772
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: to say it, but like here stretching the floor, that

773
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: guy's clogging up everything like you and your morning poop.

774
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, because he is just there and like already

775
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 2: it's rough for the raptors, like seam and guy's driving

776
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: in there and it's like, well, I'm just running into

777
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 2: beansie now, I mean it's bad.

778
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

779
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 6: Well, look, I eat a lot of flat fiber, so

780
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 6: I don't clog it up too much. But with Bainzy,

781
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 6: the thing is, look, he came in late. He came

782
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 6: in late to the season, didn't really get a chance

783
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 6: to figure out the system and they started off badly.

784
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 6: I'm not making any excuses for him. I'm just sort

785
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 6: of saying this is the situation. But like I say, Bainsy,

786
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 6: I think he will get it together at some point

787
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 6: and you'll see the impact and see why the Raptor

788
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 6: sign him to a two year, fifteen million dollar deal

789
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 6: because he for Australia. He really understands how to sort

790
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 6: of fit himself into the role and I think he

791
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 6: did that. He's done that in the NBA and other

792
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 6: stops as just he hasn't been able to do that

793
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 6: yet in Toronto. But like, if don't, if you want

794
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 6: to not punish yourself, do not watch the fourth quarter

795
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 6: of basketball last night between the Hornets and the Raptors.

796
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 6: That was one of the ugliest quarters I have ever

797
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 6: seen in basketball. But this goes back to what I

798
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 6: was saying sort of last week or so with the

799
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 6: Raptors is they they got the win, and that I

800
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 6: think is just really really important here because the Raptors

801
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 6: have been losing games that have been unlosable. Last night

802
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 6: they clung on.

803
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: For dear life.

804
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 6: I think Matt Devlin said that actually at the end,

805
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 6: he said the Raptors hang on for deal like him,

806
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 6: and Jack is still having a great time in the commentry.

807
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 2: My fire Devlin. You know, Devlin calls out like a

808
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: Canadian city when the Raptors player hits a three, he dropped.

809
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember the name of the city that

810
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: he called, but he said, like, like, let's just say

811
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 2: he said, like Fort Weston, And then Jack's like, where

812
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 2: is that? And devilin you could tell no idea where

813
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: it was because he had just seen a tweet that

814
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: somebody said, hey, can you give a shout out to

815
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: I think it's Fort Pleasant or something like that. Yeah,

816
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: and then he's like you hear Jack going, are you

817
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: googling it? No, like for the tweet. Oh, they're they're

818
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: they're gold.

819
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 6: That's the thing. You wouldn't think the team is three

820
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 6: a night based on the way that the chemistry is

821
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 6: rolling so well.

822
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong, he's all worried about Saturday right because the

823
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: Bills are playing. He is a huge Buffalo Bills fan.

824
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: I think the I think they have Raptors games on

825
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: at the exact same time they're tasked. He's going to

826
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: be in trouble there.

827
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think the Raptors, considering basketball is the

828
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 3: shortest of the four major sports, will be long done before.

829
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: The Bills game is really okay, Yeah, it's an.

830
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: Eight o'clock start for the Bills. I assume the Raptors

831
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: aren't starting at eight.

832
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 2: It's probably like a probably maybe seven.

833
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: Yet a nice quarter and a half, probably a second

834
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 3: half of the Bills game. Football is long.

835
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: Okay, good, good, all right, So that's five games. One thing,

836
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: great stuff, guys. Let's get to best of the week.

837
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 4: I think, ladies and gentlemen, the best of the week.

838
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: What's going on here? Task week two and we've gotten

839
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: rid of Horse of the Week.

840
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit in the spirit of Trey Hervey.

841
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 3: Let's be a little positive here in twenty twenty one.

842
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 3: Best of the week this week is Jason Doyle. The

843
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: man on Wednesday stepped up to the plate and hit

844
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: back to back to back to back Jack's. He was

845
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 3: a quad zilla. He went fo fo fofo. He hit

846
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: four shows out of the park, producing four shows. So JD,

847
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 3: that was fantastic stuff. However, I'm not going to pretend

848
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: that I'm a positive pete. JD. You're also worst of

849
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 3: the Week, ladies and gentlemen, the worst of the week.

850
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 3: On one of those shows, our Beach podcast, we found

851
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: out that James Harden had been dealt live on the air.

852
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: So this is our reaction. Going to replay it for

853
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: you here. This is our reaction to James Harden being dealt.

854
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: And for those of you watching on YouTube, just watch

855
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 3: JD's reaction right here. I mean, he's exuberant.

856
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: What a weird, weird podcast. This was as James Oh, yes, yes, yes, heyes, Wow,

857
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: let's hear it.

858
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: What do you got?

859
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 6: Woch is just saying Brooklyn is acquiring James Harden. That's

860
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 6: all we've got so far.

861
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: We got time. Let's just sit here, let's wrap this up.

862
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: By the time that was, that was all ready to

863
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: do our emergency pod.

864
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 6: One minute ago. That was with Roma Shelburne saying that

865
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 6: Brooklyn is acquiring him. So yeah, let's he's going to

866
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 6: get the next thing.

867
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 3: You could hear the excitement and the four of us,

868
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: you know, we were very pumped with j d zero reaction.

869
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 3: How much much like a zero reaction the last decade

870
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 3: and a half as.

871
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 6: We've done that, I've watched that clip about a million.

872
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 2: I watched it getting straight timed yesterday, and then people

873
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: started adding like the curers some music to it, and

874
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 2: the hello darkness my old friend.

875
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: Oh man.

876
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, as you said, it was the

877
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 4: fourth show. The end of the that was the third.

878
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 3: I mean, the reason I think a lot of people

879
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 3: made this observation was that you realized, oh my god,

880
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 3: we got to do a fourth show. Yeah, at that

881
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 3: moment we're seeing we're seeing the wheels churn in there.

882
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. And if it had literally if it had happened

883
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 4: at thirty minutes before, we wouldn't have had to do

884
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 4: that extra show. It been part of the show, and

885
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 4: that would have been it. And hey, you know, I

886
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know what to say. Bummed.

887
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: I mean, well, you got best of the week is

888
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: in addition to worst. Rats on that, And I will say,

889
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 2: I mean that emergency podcast biggest show we've ever done

890
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 2: on YouTube in terms of people tuning in and stuff

891
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: like that and watching it. We've had some of our

892
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: biggest days ever, I believe. Ever, in terms of straight

893
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 2: up podcast download, it's because of all the content you're

894
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: producing here and pumping out. So uh so that's good right,

895
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: silver lining.

896
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 4: Hey, it's been a great week, a great couple of

897
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 4: weeks at the Classic Factory.

Speaker 2: Oh god, absolutely, Ah, yes, great clip, great, great clip.

Speaker 2: and I'm gonna need a goddamn trade here.

901
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 4: Now we're gonna talk hard for an hour.

902
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 2: Amazing, Okay, we're all all top five fun here on

903
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: the drop. What do you got for us? TK to

904
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 2: by top five, top five, top by top five top five.

905
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 5: Oh baby, it's a top time Friday, on a full

906
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 5: squad Friday. We have been talking about James Harden and

907
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 5: his trade from the Houston Rockets quite a bit. Of course,

908
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 5: he made a trade request, finally set it out loud

909
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 5: in public. I've done everything I can for this city.

910
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 3: I'm out of here.

911
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: He's been traded.

912
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 5: But while it was dramatic for us in the moment,

913
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 5: is it the most dramatic trade request of all time?

914
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 4: I think not.

915
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 5: Here are your top five dramatic trade requests. At number five,

916
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 5: Kreem Abdul Jabbar requests a trade from the Bucks. A

917
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 5: legendary trade request changed the history of the league forever.

918
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 5: But this was a classy trade request.

919
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: This comes from.

920
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 5: Thomas Bonk at the La Times. In a suite of

921
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 5: rooms at the Sheridan Hotel in downtown Milwaukee, after a

922
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 5: dinner of beef wellington, red wine, and assorted cheeses, the

923
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 5: National Basketball Association's most valuable player, the most dominant figure

924
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 5: in the game, told his employers he didn't want to.

925
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: Work for them anymore. I love it. Kareem Abdul Jabbar

926
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: invites management out for a beef Wellington and some cheese

927
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: and then says, I am going to be leaving this team.

928
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: Cream told them Lakers or Knicks. Of course, the Knicks

929
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: struck out.

930
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: Kareem was traded with Walt Wesley to the Lakers for

931
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 5: Junior Bridgeman, Dave Meyers, Elmore Smith, and Lee.

932
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: I know you love it. Brian Winters shut up to

933
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 2: Brian Winters mustache.

934
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 6: Winters did have a mustache. I still love how your

935
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 6: father and law is still salty on that trade.

936
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: The tray.

937
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 6: I can't believe they traded Alcinda to the Lakers.

938
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 3: He said, let it go.

939
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: Wa Can you blame them?

940
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 3: Though?

941
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: The rest is literal history.

942
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 5: Five titles for the Lakers, thirteen All Star appearances in

943
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 5: fourteen seasons, three more MVPs. He's got a statue. I

944
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 5: do think the Lakers won this trade all things. Probably

945
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 5: the only reason it's number five. It's before my time.

946
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 5: It's even before Lee's time. This came out in nineteen

947
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 5: seventy five. Just goes to show you trade demands have

948
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 5: been around for ever.

949
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: It was a dark Brian Winters for that.

950
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: Hey, Brian Winters is a big Bills fan. The Brian Winters.

951
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: We know.

952
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 3: Brian. Oh yeah, Brian Winters Vancouver Grizzlies head coach once

953
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 3: upon a time too. So yeah, I'm hungry, man. I

954
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 3: love me some beef Wellington.

955
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 2: Oh that's good man, laky pastry on the outside.

956
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 5: Like Danielle made a beef Wellington like eight years ago

957
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 5: for a Christmas party right at Maddy Oh's house. I'm

958
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 5: still thinking about that beef Wellington. I've had one to

959
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 5: cop a bit you. That's the last time I had one,

960
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 5: for sure.

961
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 3: It's good. It's hard to do, say the chefs. Apparently

962
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 3: it's a lot of work. I guess. I think that's

963
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 3: a test for chefs as if they can make a

964
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 3: Kareemi Abdul Jabbar Wellington a Kareemi Beef Wellington boo. Anyway, Yeah,

965
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 3: go on, it's Kareemi. You know the mushroom face. Anyway, it's.

966
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: At number four.

967
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 5: Eric Bledsoe tells the Phoenix Suns, I don't want to

968
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 5: be here. I don't know if this was the first

969
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 5: trade request to be at Twitter, but it's the most famous.

970
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 5: October twenty two, twenty seventeen, three games into the season,

971
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 5: Eric Bledsoe of the Phoenix Suns tweets, I don't want

972
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 5: to be here. Everybody knew it was about the Suns.

973
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 5: They had got close to the playoffs in twenty thirteen fourteen.

974
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 5: They brought in a bunch of point guards. The next

975
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 5: year was a failed experiment, and they were trending downward.

976
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 5: The Sun's got absolutely smacked those first three games, combined

977
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 5: margin to defeat ninety two points, as ABC fifteen Sports

978
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 5: reported at the time. Then Phoenix GM Ryan McDonough asked

979
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 5: Ledsoe about the tweet, and McDonough responded in a press conference.

980
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 5: Bledsoe said he was at the hair salon with his

981
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 5: girl and he didn't want to be there anymore. I

982
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 5: don't believe that to be true.

983
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: Neither did we. The Sun sent him home. A couple

984
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: of weeks later, he was traded to the Bucks.

985
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 6: Four no one remember Brandon, not Brandon Knin, No.

986
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 5: Greg Monroe, and a first round pick that eventually made

987
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 5: its way to Memphis after being part of an Aaron

988
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 5: Bain's trade and an Ennis Cantor trade, ended up being

989
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 5: Desmond Baine, who was drafted this season by the Grizzlies.

990
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 5: Ledso worst of the year on the starters in twenty

991
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 5: seventeen eighteen. My favorite part about this request the tweet

992
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 5: is still up. This guy hasn't deleted this tweet.

993
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 2: Respect for that exactly. Most people, you know, they send

994
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: a bad tweet and then they like take it down

995
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: immediately a little bit after. At least he left it there,

996
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 2: all right. Maybe he was at the hair salon. It's

997
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: a good point. He's like, I'm sticking to my story.

998
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 2: I was at the hair salon. I still don't Joys. Yeah,

999
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: great stuff.

1000
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 5: At number three, Jimmy Butler's media blitz, the most recent

1001
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 5: on our list.

1002
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: This was a banger.

1003
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 5: And if this is number three, just imagine how good

1004
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 5: numbers two and one are after the Bulls traded Jimmy

1005
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: after literally the best season of his career, Butler reunited

1006
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 5: with his old coach, Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota.

1007
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: Was all good.

1008
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 2: Year one.

1009
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 5: Jimmy, Carl, Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and some old Bulls

1010
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 5: won forty seven games, broke a thirteen season playoff drought.

1011
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 5: They looked like a team on the rise. I remember

1012
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 5: the next season coming in, people were saying They're gonna

1013
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 5: win fifty five games this year, not so much. In September,

1014
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 5: the Athletics Sean Sharanya and John Krazinski reported Jimmy had

1015
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 5: requested a trade in a meeting with Tom Thibodeau, but

1016
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 5: Tom thought he could work things out with Jimmy. Nope,

1017
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 5: Jimmy had requested to be traded to the Nets, Clippers

1018
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 5: or Knicks since they had huge cap space.

1019
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: Whoo, that's weird to think about. Anyways.

1020
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 5: A week before the season, Jimmy finally shows up a

1021
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 5: training camp. He teams up with the third stringers to

1022
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 5: beat the starters, all while berating the entire organization.

1023
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 2: Has he done it? You need me, you can't win

1024
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 2: without me.

1025
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 5: According to Wosh, he dominated the gym in every way

1026
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 5: and it wasn't over. Immediately after practice, Jimmy has a

1027
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 5: TV interview set up with ESPN Rachel's ESPN's Rachel Nichols

1028
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 5: where he says, I'm not the most talented player on

1029
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 5: our team. Who's the most talented player on our team?

1030
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 3: Hat?

1031
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 2: Who's the most god gifted player on our team? Wiggs?

1032
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 2: Who plays the hardest? Me? I play hard.

1033
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 5: I put my body on the line every day in practice,

1034
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 5: every day in games. That's my passion. All I want

1035
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 5: to do is work hard and be the man. He

1036
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 5: didn't say that, but yeah, he basically said that you

1037
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 5: couldn't find a trade partner in time for the season

1038
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 5: to start. So Jimmy played ten games with the Wolves

1039
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 5: that season. Eventually he started sitting for General Soreness, remember

1040
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 5: that old man?

1041
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1042
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 5: Oh, Classic eventually traded to the Sixers with Justin Patten

1043
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 5: for Robert Covington, Dario Sarich and a second rounder.

1044
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: General Soreness was traded with General Patton.

1045
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 6: I would love to know what the Wolves record is

1046
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 6: since that trade. It must be awful. I know they've

1047
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 6: had some injuries as well, but it's bad. Oh my god,

1048
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 6: that's bad.

1049
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 5: And that was kind of like a stamp on the

1050
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 5: reputations of Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. Right that, really,

1051
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 5: that whole month of November through December with Jimmy and

1052
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 5: the Wolves kind of sealed the fate of how people

1053
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 5: are gonna be thinking about the Wolves until until they

1054
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 5: get back to the playoffs, which they are not close.

1055
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 3: No, all right.

1056
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 5: Number two Kobe Bryant makes his trade request in public.

1057
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 5: The year was two thousand and seven and Kobe was

1058
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 5: done with the Lakers. Lakers were a five hundred team

1059
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 5: after Shaq was traded. Oh four, Kobe led the league

1060
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 5: in scoring back to back seasons six and o seven.

1061
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 5: This is kind of black hole Mambo when he was

1062
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 5: shooting all the time.

1063
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

1064
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 5: And May Kobe made a trade request on Steven A.

1065
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 5: Smith's radio show. Apparently he was mad that the Lakers

1066
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 5: hadn't included Andrew Bynum in a trade for Jason Kidd

1067
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 5: at the deadline the previous season. He posted on his

1068
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 5: website KB twenty four that him and the Lakers didn't

1069
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 5: have the same vision. And then there was news about

1070
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 5: this mysterious video that was out there on the internet

1071
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 5: Kobe allegedly trashing Mitch Cupcheck and Andrew Binum. It's the

1072
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 5: early Internet, so it doesn't just get.

1073
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 3: Out right away.

1074
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 5: The people who had this video tried to sell it

1075
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 5: to the Lakers. They tried to sell it to the

1076
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 5: New York Times. They tried to sell it to ESPN,

1077
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 5: according to Mark Stein, or sorry, according to Howard Beckett

1078
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 5: the New York Times. The videos owners claimed that a

1079
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 5: Lakers fan offered to buy the video and keep it private,

1080
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 5: but the people who took it wanted to instead charge

1081
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 5: a dollar ninety nine through their website to watch this video.

1082
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's super weird.

1083
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 6: Right.

1084
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 5: Eventually the video did come out. You can still find

1085
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 5: super grainy clips of it. The biggest line from this

1086
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 5: was Kobe talking about Andrew Byn, saying ship his ass up.

1087
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 5: And I mean, honestly, if you could have gotten Jason Kidd,

1088
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 5: maybe that would have been a good trade. Nonetheless, the

1089
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 5: Lakers shopped Kobe. He almost went to the Bulls. The

1090
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 5: Lakers wanted lu All Dang back from the Bulls, but

1091
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 5: Kobe wanted to play with lull Dang in Chicago, so

1092
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 5: it didn't happen.

1093
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: That season.

1094
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 5: The Lakers swing a mid season trade for Pagasol, Kobe

1095
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 5: wins MVP. Then they went back to back Lake titles

1096
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 5: Kobe retires a Laker, He's gonna soon have a statue.

1097
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 5: It's impossible to think of Kobe in a different uniform,

1098
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 5: but man, it was close. It was super close. But

1099
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 5: it goes to show you not every trade request gets honored.

1100
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 5: You can mend fences, yeah yeah.

1101
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 3: And then as those early internet days went on, we

1102
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 3: saw those Kobe photos of pre draft with you know,

1103
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 3: a Boston Celtic shirt on and those kinds of things.

1104
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 3: It just never, never, ever makes sense mentally to see

1105
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 3: Kobe and any other attire than purple and gold.

1106
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 2: So weird.

1107
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 5: But number one, you already know it's the Dwight Mare.

1108
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 5: Started back in twenty eleven. After the lockout, Dwight told

1109
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 5: the Orlando Magic, do you want to be traded to

1110
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 5: the New Jersey Nets the Lakers of the Mavericks. The

1111
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 5: Magic tried to convince him to stay. As Mark Stein

1112
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 5: and Chad Ford reported at ESPN, Howard is known for

1113
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 5: changing his view on the matter on a near daily basis,

1114
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 5: And honestly, that's what it was like for the entire season.

1115
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 5: I feel like during the eleven twelve season on the podcast,

1116
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 5: back in the TVJ days, we were talking about White.

1117
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 5: Does White want to be a Magic or does he

1118
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 5: not want to be a Magic?

1119
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 2: Does he? Does he not? Is he going to sign

1120
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 2: this thing? Is he's not going to sign this team.

1121
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 5: They almost had a trade with the Nets, would have

1122
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 5: landed Gerald Wallace back to the Magic, would have pair

1123
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 5: Dwight with Darren Williams on the Nets, and apparently they

1124
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 5: wanted to sign Gilbert Arenas with the cap space they

1125
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 5: were gonna have, but the reports with that dry. Dwight

1126
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 5: wanted trade, White wanted Wade White wanted a trade.

1127
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: Dwight says, no, I don't. At the trade deadline, he

1128
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 2: signed in to be there the next season. I remember that.

1129
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 5: Everybody's like, huh, this guy's been talking about getting out

1130
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 5: for months and months and months, and now he's signing

1131
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 5: up for an other year. Soon thereafter, the news was

1132
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 5: that Dwight was only going to stay if stan Van

1133
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 5: Gundy was gone, which culminated and perhaps the most awkward

1134
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 5: press conference in NBA history.

1135
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 2: Take a look.

1136
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 7: The only thing I'm ever uncomfortable with is bullshit, you know,

1137
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 7: and so to come in and no comment or deny

1138
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 7: that it's true and everything. I mean, the only thing

1139
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 7: I guess, David, that ever liberates me is just, you know,

1140
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 7: be honest and deal with what's out there. Some people

1141
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 7: have a hard time with that, I guess, but to me,

1142
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 7: that's a lot easier to deal with than bullshit. Well,

1143
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 7: obviously it'll be a management decision. They have to make

1144
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 7: the decision. But I ain't worried about that.

1145
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 3: So, yes, we're not worried about that, right.

1146
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 7: That's what I just said.

1147
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 2: We've got to be worried about winning games.

1148
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's concern right now?

1149
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 6: Tomir?

1150
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 7: We have to stop Carmelo Anthony in the New York

1151
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 7: Knicks to the That's exactly that's the plan, right, that

1152
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 7: is the plan. That's what I just said.

1153
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 3: The guy who started his Yes, he's.

1154
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 7: I don't see paying here neither. Are you guys done

1155
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 7: with me?

1156
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 4: Dwight?

1157
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 3: Are the stories not true? Come on man, Yeah, just

1158
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 3: the stories from Dave Pain are true?

1159
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, what was true?

1160
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: Stands said that you wanted him five.

1161
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 3: I say that, I say that to according to I'm

1162
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 3: asking you.

1163
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 2: So you guys got so many sources.

1164
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 3: I mess that.

1165
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 2: Oh my godness, so good.

1166
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 5: When we're worried about we're worried about how to stop Yeah,

1167
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 5: on a line by stan Van Gundhi. Two weeks later,

1168
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 5: Dwight had back surgery. That summer, Orlando trades Dwight to

1169
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 5: the Lakers, where it was a disaster the first time around.

1170
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 5: The Lakers sent Andrew Bidham to the Sixers. He never

1171
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 5: played for the andre I Gudala went to the Nuggets,

1172
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 5: played one season before going to the Warriors, and the

1173
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 5: Magic got Nick Butchovic, who will probably be Orlando's all

1174
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 5: time leading scorer by the time he's done there. It

1175
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 5: just goes to show you don't really know who won

1176
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 5: a trade long until after it's happened, because nobody was thinking, oh, man,

1177
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 5: the big winner in this one's the Magic. They got

1178
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 5: a franchise cornerstone, they.

1179
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 6: Did Diet Pepsi had a good out of that, remember that.

1180
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 6: But yeah, Vouch and Diet Pepsi, those are the two

1181
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 6: winners of that trade.

1182
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: I got a question with that clip because I had

1183
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: never really noticed it. Maybe the first time. You know,

1184
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 2: Dwight when he comes in and he puts his arm

1185
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: around stamp In and he goes, hey, Jamiir. He's obviously

1186
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 2: calling out to Jamiir Nelson, who's on the team. You know,

1187
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 2: one of the vets on the squad, Like what do

1188
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 2: you think he's doing there? Like is he's saying had

1189
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 2: he had talked to Jamir and like, you know, I'm

1190
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 2: gonna go crash stands, you know, a little scrum there,

1191
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 2: or I'm going to show some solidarity by doing it,

1192
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 2: or maybe Jamir was even like you should show some solidary,

1193
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 2: like he's obviously trying to get Jamir's attention to see

1194
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 2: him standing there with stand Man. But I always wondered,

1195
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 2: like what what why is he doing that? What's what's

1196
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: he trying to prove there?

1197
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 3: No idea?

1198
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Like I again with Dwight,

1199
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 2: it could be one of the other, Like it was

1200
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 2: almost like a bet, like oh, I'm gonna go blow

1201
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 2: up his scrung here, this will be awkward or the

1202
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: opposite of like no, I'll make everything look better and

1203
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 2: I'll go and put my arm around coach and then

1204
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 2: I'll call out Dave Ping who's not there. Still he's

1205
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 2: making a golf balls somewhere. So yeah, I don't know,

1206
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: but I what a weird, awkward clip.

1207
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 5: It's just so perfect that stan Van Gundy's like the

1208
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 5: only thing I can't stand is bullshitting and Dwight just saw,

1209
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 5: hey somebody talking bullshit.

1210
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 4: What are your guys?

1211
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 2: So good?

1212
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 4: So good?

1213
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 5: Those are your top five most dramatic trade request and

1214
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 5: NBA history. Honorable mention Anthony Davis. That's all, folks. Vince

1215
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 5: Carter with the Raptors pretty much the same as we've

1216
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 5: seen from James Harden here, Kawhi Leonard, but the Spurs

1217
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 5: just weird. And Steve Francis, when he was drafted by

1218
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies, said no thing.

1219
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, great list, fantastic work there.

1220
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 3: That was great. Let me let me jump in here.

1221
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 3: Comment during the top five from Dobermere Gospodenov, who's definitely

1222
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 3: not Russian. He said, jd getting Worse of the Week

1223
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 3: should have evoked that reaction, that Jimmy Butler reaction. You

1224
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 3: fking need me? Yeah right, good stuff, No, not right,

1225
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 3: and I'm the hardest working good comments from Dovermere. Good

1226
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: stuff right.

1227
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 2: There, all right. Well, speaking of trades there dramatic trade requests, let's,

1228
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 2: you know, put a little button here in the hard

1229
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: and trade because we got some emails and tweets on

1230
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 2: Thursday's show trade you asked if this will be called

1231
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: the hard and Trade. This is from Great Pace writing

1232
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 2: in you asked if this will be called the hard

1233
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 2: and trade, even though his initial trade from OKC is

1234
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 2: called the hard and trade. I think in modern NBA

1235
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 2: history there are two trades that are regularly referenced, the

1236
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 2: twenty twelve hard In trade and the twenty thirteen Brooklyn

1237
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 2: trade where Boston gave up Garnett and Pierce for a

1238
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 2: cachet of draft picks. I can't think of any other

1239
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 2: trades that are referenced by a single word. I think

1240
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 2: this new fourteen blockbuster will be referred to, maybe as

1241
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 2: a subconscious homage, as a combo of both former trade names.

1242
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 2: It'll simply be the hardened Nets trade or the hard

1243
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn Trade. On one hand, I might get confusing,

1244
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 2: but on the other hand, everyone will instantly know what

1245
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: it means. Again. That's from Greg Pace in Columbus, Ohio.

1246
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 2: Thanks Greg, What do you think, TK? Because you were

1247
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 2: the one wondering how will we reference this trade? I mean,

1248
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 2: he's probably right. He hits it all out of the

1249
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 2: park here.

1250
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 5: Twenty twelve, that's the hardened trade, twenty thirteen, the Nets trade,

1251
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 5: the Brooklyn trade, KG trade, or whatever you want to

1252
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 5: call it. This one is both of those combined, So

1253
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 5: it's going to be the hardened nets trade. As for

1254
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 5: other one named trades, there's a whole bunch of them

1255
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 5: on Wikipedia, but none of them are basketball. It's like

1256
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 5: the Herschel Walker trade, the Eric Lindross trade. I was

1257
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 5: deep in the Eric Lindross trade last night. Crazy how

1258
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 5: that trade really set up the Colorado Avalanche for their

1259
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety six and two thousand and one Stanley cups.

1260
00:56:59,400 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 3: Am I right?

1261
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 5: Somebody used to get on the NBA. Somebody from the

1262
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 5: NBA needs to get on Wikipedia and get the hard

1263
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 5: and Trade on there. Get the hard and Trade part

1264
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 5: two on there, get the next trade on there. We

1265
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 5: need some representation for the NBA. Crazy huge trades.

1266
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 2: Is greg right, Lily? Is there really you know, at

1267
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 2: least in the last fifteen years or so, like few

1268
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 2: trades that can be referenced by like one word really

1269
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 2: or one player.

1270
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 6: Well, the Vince carter A trade because he basically sulked

1271
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 6: his way out of Toronto and the Raptors didn't get

1272
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 6: much in return. I mean, that's the way I think

1273
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 6: about it.

1274
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because you were in Toronto at the time.

1275
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 6: I think I wasn't actually in Toronto at the time,

1276
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 6: but I.

1277
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: Know, but I remember it because it was like we

1278
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 2: in London, England at the time.

1279
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 6: I was the relationship had ended so badly, and it

1280
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 6: was like Vince was playing badly, like James Harden these

1281
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 6: last couple of days, pretending like, oh man, I just

1282
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 6: can't play right now, I'm not doing well, and it

1283
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 6: was like, I think, wasn't that also a Lonzo Morning

1284
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 6: said I'm just not going to Toronto. He was in

1285
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 6: that trade and he's like, I'm not going.

1286
00:57:58,440 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 3: So he was the centerpiece.

1287
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 6: It was Aaron Williams, and there was another william Eric

1288
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 6: Eric Williams. Yeah, and they got a draft pick that

1289
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 6: turned into Joey Graham, I believe.

1290
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and that was Sam should have been Danny Granger.

1291
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, so I think it was for the Red.

1292
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 6: I just think of that as, like, you know, that

1293
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 6: was the worst moment of the sort of Vince Raptors relationship,

1294
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 6: which has been patched up. I think we all love

1295
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 6: Vince now and we've all moved on from it, but

1296
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 6: at the time that was pretty bad because it was like, yeah,

1297
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 6: Vince was agit star a legit star and he was

1298
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 6: like I went out and then they didn't ground in

1299
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 6: that wish and he said, all right, well I'm just

1300
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 6: going to play my way out of here.

1301
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 2: Oh. It was even worse than that. It was like, yeah,

1302
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 2: he wasn't trying all that hard. He basically told other

1303
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: reporters that he was going to stop dunking. Yeah, you know,

1304
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 2: he was like injured every third game with like questionable injuries.

1305
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 2: Like maybe he was talking it a little bit, maybe

1306
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 2: he wasn't. And then he gets traded and he like

1307
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 2: starts bawling his outside for the next He's back to

1308
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 2: score in like twenty five to thirty a game every

1309
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 2: night and is back on you know, sports Center. Yeah, yeah,

1310
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 2: it might be right. Actually, now I think about the

1311
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: VC trade, the Vince trade.

1312
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lee, you're not over it because you were in London.

1313
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 3: What about us Torontonians. We're still not over it, man. Yeah. No,

1314
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 3: I'm kidding. We're all over it. We're all done with it.

1315
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 2: I just got over it. Yeah, like last year, I

1316
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 2: think I just got over there. You were a little

1317
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: bit ahead of me. Yeah, for sure.

1318
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 3: I was buying into Eric Williams being a good Toronto

1319
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 3: after six eight, little undersized, little tweeler, little Gary Trent.

1320
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1321
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 6: You know what, you could make an argument that this

1322
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 6: was the Pete Badcock trade because he was the GM

1323
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 6: with me, it was like Rob, Rob, sorry Rob, And

1324
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 6: it was like, I can't believe that's all he got

1325
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 6: for Vince Carter because it was like, surely when you

1326
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 6: look at you know what you could have gotten for

1327
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 6: him in terms of draft picks and assets, and the

1328
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 6: Raptor's got nothing, which made it even worse. You know,

1329
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 6: they didn't get anyone back, and then you have a

1330
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 6: guy who's just like, nah, I don't care, I'm not

1331
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 6: going there, and they had no real way of getting

1332
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 6: Alonso to come and play there.

1333
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, if you rob a Babcock trade, he

1334
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 3: thought he was getting the lines on morning. But at

1335
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 3: that time, nobody wanted to play with the Toronto Raptors.

1336
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 3: It was a crazy time. A lot of players said

1337
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 3: no to Toronto.

1338
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that to me was again I think that

1339
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 6: they would have had Chris Bosh at the time, but

1340
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 6: it was like this is just going to cost the

1341
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 6: Raptors the franchise at some point where it's like, no

1342
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 6: one's going to want to stay and play with this team,

1343
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 6: and that was the bigger issue for me. It was like,

1344
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 6: how are they going to keep them? The Grizzlies are

1345
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 6: gone and now Vince has gone.

1346
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 2: Laughed and obviously starting to flourish down in Orlanto.

1347
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there isn't any any NBA trades that have

1348
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 3: like the Vince Carter trade. Okay, it's his name, you know,

1349
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 3: there's no like nickname for any trade. I wanted like

1350
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 3: a nickname, you know, like the the Kaboom. I don't

1351
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 3: know something, but they're all guys. Just a guy's name.

1352
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 2: That's the easiest way.

1353
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 3: I do you think one would come up the beef

1354
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 3: Wellington for.

1355
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,959
Speaker 2: Let's start calling Yeah, let's start calling that trade.

1356
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 6: Wasn't the third time will Padu went back to the

1357
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 6: bulls the three paint or something like that. I don't

1358
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 6: know whom I mic not up. I can't remember, but.

1359
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 5: Uh, maybe trade, I don't know, Probably, Yeah, I think

1360
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 5: that's the three piece you think of when you think

1361
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 5: of the nineties.

1362
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Does the only the only like named trade.

1363
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 5: Like you're saying, if we were going to call the

1364
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 5: beef Wellington trade on Wikipedia was the white Flag trade,

1365
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 5: which was when uh, like the Chicago White Sox were

1366
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 5: very close to the wild card and they traded all

1367
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 5: their starting pitchers to the San Francisco Giants, but worked

1368
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,919
Speaker 5: out for the White Sox won a World Series and five.

1369
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: So they called that the white flag trade because they

1370
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 2: were waving the white flag on that season. Is that, yeah, exactly?

1371
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:38,439
Speaker 2: That they were close.

1372
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 5: They could have made it, made a run to the playoffs,

1373
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 5: is what people are saying. They traded their top two pitchers.

1374
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, our next sort of hard and related

1375
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: or NETS related question here. This one's from Brian in Bloomington, Indiana.

1376
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 2: It's a who says no, Nick's get Kyrie Irving and

1377
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 2: Nick's Nick Claxton, while the NETS would get Julius Randall,

1378
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson, and Frankni Lakina. It works in the trade machine.

1379
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 2: The NETS would likely prefer Austin Rivers, but he is

1380
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 2: not available to be traded yet. Toodles. That's from Brian,

1381
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 2: who says no, because after Harden makes his way to

1382
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: Brooklyn tasks, a lot of people are trying to figure

1383
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 2: out a way to maybe move Kyrie Irving and don't

1384
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 2: worry about a big three, go with Kad and Harden.

1385
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 2: And get some other pieces. What do you think who

1386
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 2: says no to that?

1387
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 3: Wow? I'm seeing comments in the team stream that are contrarian. Here.

1388
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 3: Somebody says, MB says Nick say no, Patrick says Nets

1389
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 3: say no. I think the Nets say no in a heartbeat. Well,

1390
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 3: a lot of Nick say no. I'm surprised at that

1391
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 3: that people would say the Knicks would say no to

1392
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 3: getting Kyrie Irving. Come on, they give it up a lot,

1393
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 3: I guess, and that Julius Randall, Mitchell Robins, Mitchell Robinson

1394
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 3: would be the piece. Julis Randel's having a very good year.

1395
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 3: Can he keep it up? Mitchell Robinson could be a

1396
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 3: future defensive stud. But you're getting Kyrie Irving. I think

1397
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 3: Kad would be very pissed off. They waited this long

1398
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 3: to play together, the year off he joined to be

1399
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 3: with Kyrie Irving, a guy that he's complimented over and

1400
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 3: over and over and over again, saying like he's, you know,

1401
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 3: one of the masters at his craft. He loves watching Kyrie.

1402
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 3: He's one of like the three guys that Kad names.

1403
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 3: He mentions Kobe, he mentions Kyrie, I say three. I

1404
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 3: don't know who the third one is. I think I

1405
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 3: think maybe it's I don't know, but like guys that

1406
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 3: he loved to play with, he desired so much to

1407
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 3: play with, and then you trade him after eight games together.

1408
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 3: I think you wouldn't want to do that, and you

1409
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 3: wouldn't give them one playoff together, one game together after

1410
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 3: all this time, after that year where they're both injured.

1411
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 3: I don't think Sean Marx would even think about doing that.

1412
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 3: So the Nets say Noah, even even though I understand

1413
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:46,439
Speaker 3: where Brian's coming from. Mitchell Robinson in the lane would

1414
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 3: be nice for them. Frank Nilakina to balance out Kyrie

1415
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 3: and James Harden would be okay, but he can barely

1416
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 3: play for the Knicks, so I wouldn't get that excited. Unfortunately,

1417
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 3: Frank hasn't found his way. Frankie Smokes isn't smoking hot

1418
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 3: right now. But no, I'm not. I'm not buying this

1419
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 3: for the Nets.

1420
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 2: What do you think, Trey?

1421
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I also think the Nets say no. But I

1422
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 5: just wonder how sick must the Knicks be to see

1423
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden on a New

1424
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 5: York team that has no draft picks for the future.

1425
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 5: They're like that's our thing, man, We're supposed to be

1426
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 5: trading away our future for these superstars. I think this

1427
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 5: is this is an easy no to me for the Nets.

1428
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 5: Julius Randall having a great season, but he's in a

1429
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 5: contract year like Tassa San Frank Neila Keina has potential

1430
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 5: to be a defensive piece for a team. And Mitchell

1431
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 5: Robinson seems to be a pretty good young center. But

1432
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 5: they just traded away a pretty good young center because

1433
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 5: they want to play DeAndre Jordan because he's friends with

1434
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 5: Kyrie and Katie and James Harden. So I imagine it

1435
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 5: would still be the same case once Mitchell Robinson got

1436
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 5: to the Nets.

1437
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 2: So this is a no from the Nets for me.

1438
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 4: But I love it.

1439
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 2: I love the idea of the Nixon Nets trading with

1440
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 2: each other. Is it ever gonna happen? They'll be Cool'd

1441
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 2: be very cool. What would we call that trade?

1442
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 3: The sub.

1443
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 2: Sub say, swap. That's pretty good, Lee, just quickly. I mean,

1444
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 2: you're a huge Next fan. I'm sure you would want

1445
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 2: Carie on your team, would you? Is that too much

1446
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 2: to give up?

1447
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 6: From the next side of things, I think Sewan Mark says,

1448
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 6: let me get back to you in a week or so, just.

1449
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 2: Uh, let me just check it with Carrie real quick, because.

1450
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 6: Kyrie is apparently on his way back, but apparently the

1451
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 6: Nets are not happy with his absence, which is understandable.

1452
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 6: And I think once I get James into that lineup,

1453
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 6: and I think, you know, look, if you can replace

1454
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 6: Jared Allen with Mitchell Robinson, I think the Nets would

1455
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 6: be like, okay.

1456
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 2: Julius Randall, he yeah, he can.

1457
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 6: He's not playing too bad. I think I think Sean

1458
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 6: Marks doesn't just say get the hell out of here.

1459
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 6: What the hell are you guys talking about? Who's the

1460
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 6: GM these days? It's not Scott Perry, is it. It's

1461
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 6: what's his name? Leon Rose? That's right, Leon Rose. I

1462
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 6: think he's just like leonh Yeah, yeah, I'll be you know,

1463
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 6: I'm not saying no, I'm not saying yes. Let's just uh,

1464
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 6: let's just see what happens in the next couple of

1465
01:05:59,280 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 6: weeks here.

1466
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So he takes the call and he puts it

1467
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 2: in his calendar or you know, his planner, call Leon

1468
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 2: back because he wants to check in.

1469
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 6: With cairoge exactly, exact couple exactly.

1470
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 2: That's it from you guys. Final one here. This one

1471
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: came through Twitter. It's from at Ning Bland. Serious question.

1472
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 2: This is how he prefaced it. When fans returned to

1473
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 2: Rocket schemes, will they boo James Harden upon his return?

1474
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 2: It's a good question, Lee, What do you think is

1475
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 2: it going to be a Vince Carter in Toronto or

1476
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 2: he gets boomed for the next decade or nowhere?

1477
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 6: What do you think I think he does at the start,

1478
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 6: I think he does because of the way that he

1479
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 6: left there, and that was by playing his way out

1480
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 6: of it. Now, in his last press conference, he tried

1481
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 6: to say face by saying I love Houston, basically saying

1482
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 6: to the fans, you know, I love you guys, It's

1483
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 6: all good, but I'm out of here. This team is

1484
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 6: not good enough. And and I think that fans feel

1485
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 6: that they're like, come on, man, you could have been

1486
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 6: better at the end there, you really did sulk your

1487
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 6: way out of town, and you took a little bit

1488
01:06:58,400 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 6: of a shot at the team there by saying that

1489
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 6: not talented enough, they're not good enough. And I think

1490
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 6: he was a little bit ungrateful for what the Rockets

1491
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 6: had done for him over those last eight years. So

1492
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 6: I think now look, they've got a good haul in return,

1493
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 6: so that will appease the fan base somewhat. But they

1494
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 6: go from a team that was in the playoffs for

1495
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 6: the last seven or eight years to now maybe not

1496
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 6: in the playoffs for the next year or two, and

1497
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 6: I think fans will remember that. I don't think it'll

1498
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 6: be the same quite as Vince Carter. That'll linger on

1499
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 6: forever and ever. But I think for the whenever that

1500
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 6: does happen next, which is in a year or two,

1501
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 6: maybe I think fans will just say, we've just got

1502
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 6: to get this out of our system first. But I

1503
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 6: know the Rockets will send out like a big tribute

1504
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 6: video as well when.

1505
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 3: He is back.

1506
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 6: He did yeah, but I mean when he's back in

1507
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 6: the actual building that they'll do that. The Rockets will

1508
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 6: take the high road here. But fans, we know they'll

1509
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 6: be like, no, I've got to get this out of

1510
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 6: my system and then move on.

1511
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 2: What do you think, Trey Oh, people love to boo.

1512
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Of course they're in a boo. I mean, give it

1513
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 2: ten years.

1514
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 5: If it's ten years before fans come back, they're going

1515
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 5: to bood James Harden as soon as he gets there.

1516
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 5: It took forever for people to get over Vince Carter,

1517
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 5: like skeets are saying, it wasn't over for him until

1518
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 5: he watching Vince Carter scores twenty five thousandth point as

1519
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 5: an Atlanta Hawk down here and he said, okay, man,

1520
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 5: all's forgiven.

1521
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 2: It's fine now up until then, here a booze. And

1522
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 2: that's what it's going to be for Harden.

1523
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 5: When you pot your way out of a team, when

1524
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 5: you trash them on the way out, even if you're

1525
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 5: trying to say face there at the end of course

1526
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 5: you getting booted.

1527
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 2: Task you agree, Well, they boom in his first game

1528
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 2: back when when fans are I mean, I guess fans

1529
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 2: are allowed actually technically and in Houston right now, I

1530
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 2: know they're doing a Ladies Night. I see them tweet

1531
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: that out every couple day. It's very weird. But anyway

1532
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 2: that they're not, it's weird that there's a Ladi's Night.

1533
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 2: It's weird that you're tweeting out, hey, come to the

1534
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 2: arena in any instnse right now. But when there's a

1535
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 2: bunch of people in that barn, do you think they'll

1536
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 2: boom in his first game?

1537
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it is strange that they're doing promotions for

1538
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 3: a time where Yes, I guess the MAC. I just

1539
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 3: checked right now as you said that they have fans

1540
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 3: in Houston. I don't know. I don't track where they're

1541
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 3: allowing fans, but yeah, thirty two hundred fans the other day,

1542
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 3: but they still want to promote a lady's night. Huh. Interesting.

1543
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 2: It's like one of those like four tickets, four beers,

1544
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 2: four hot dogs type of things that you see all

1545
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 2: the time.

1546
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, which for sure. Yeah, of course they got a boo. Yeah,

1547
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 3: those thirty two hundred and twenty one fans that were

1548
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 3: there the other night, they'd boot loudly. Yeah. People love

1549
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 3: to boo. So yeah, if you get you get somebody

1550
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 3: booing beside you, you got to join in. You know,

1551
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 3: it's not very often you get to make that sound.

1552
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 3: It's a good sound to make. It's a good time.

1553
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm actually

1554
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 2: gonna disagree with you, guys.

1555
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1556
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 2: If they do boom, A big part of it will

1557
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 2: be how the team, the Rockets themselves are doing or playing.

1558
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 2: Whenever Harden is back for the first time and people

1559
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 2: are in there and it's twenty thousand people, because that

1560
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 2: was the thing with the Raptors, right tray, like the

1561
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 2: not maybe the initial boo, like okay, that makes sense,

1562
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 2: but it continued for years because the Raptors sucked and

1563
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 2: you were like, you were like, well, let's just go

1564
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 2: tonight and boo Vince Carter because you know, we're not

1565
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 2: gonna be cheering on our team because they were so

1566
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 2: bad for so long. So that was a big part

1567
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 2: of it. But I actually I don't know. James Harden

1568
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 2: is like, what is he the third best rocket player

1569
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 2: of all time? Maybe second? Akim and Moses are yes,

1570
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 2: so he's either two or three.

1571
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 6: Donald, I don't know what's getting some booz. I mean

1572
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 6: they booed Kevin Durant when he left as a free

1573
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 6: agent from Oklahoma City, you know, and now they didn't

1574
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 6: get a return. But Kevin, Kevin Durant I think was

1575
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 6: within his rights to leave as a free agent. But

1576
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 6: he did join the Warriors as well, which I think

1577
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 6: upset people better. But I just think James Harden, again,

1578
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 6: his attitude and his body language in these this season,

1579
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 6: it was just kind of like sticking his finger up

1580
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 6: to the fans.

1581
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 2: So and he went to Brooklyn pairing with like making

1582
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,759
Speaker 2: a super team his own way after calling his own shots,

1583
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 2: saying trade me there and then yeah, okay, you guys

1584
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 2: are probably right. How long will it last? That's the

1585
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,879
Speaker 2: real question. Let's get your tweet of the naight.

01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, television.

1615
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that was Andrew Guy's on the coll

1616
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 6: It sounded like like, oh whoa, whoa, whoa.

1617
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 2: I do like like the line where he says I've

1618
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 2: over dribbled. It's funny, but then he goes next level.

1619
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 2: He says, you've over dribbled. You have played with a

1620
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 2: lot more exploitis in there. That's a great line. All right,

1621
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 2: great tweet of the night. The NBL man. We're gonna

1622
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 2: start incorporating the NBL in the until the Daily Show.

1623
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1624
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 6: Possibly six and a half thousand fans socially distanced in

1625
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 6: attendance last night, which is great, Which is great. They

1626
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 6: started with your fans back. But you know, when's it

1627
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 6: gonna be. When is he gonna have full stadiums again?

1628
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 6: I don't know. And that's what's the problem here. Like Australia,

1629
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 6: they've basically eliminated the virus and they're still thinking a

1630
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 6: very cautious approach. We had like two hundred thousand cases

1631
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 6: and four thousand deaths to day here, which is just

1632
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 6: devastating for this country.

1633
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 2: But it is not getting better right now at all.

1634
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 2: Pick the results in the NBA from last night. Our

1635
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 2: game was the Heat Sixers game. That line was huge.

1636
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 2: It was eleven and a half by Philly. Because we

1637
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 2: talked about it, the Heat were missing, you know, older

1638
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 2: star players. Two of us picked the Heat to cover

1639
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 2: Tass and the Lee did and Trey and I took

1640
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: the Sixers in that big line and they won huge.

1641
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 2: We knew something was up with that. That was a

1642
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 2: little weird one there. So Trey and I get the victory.

1643
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 2: TACIT League aet the loss. So here are the standings.

1644
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm eighting seven Tass and Trayers seven and eight Lee

1645
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 2: or six and nine nice, So it's close. Lots of

1646
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 2: basketball still to be played. We might start betting on

1647
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 2: MBL games. Who knows, but what's t NBA pick up

1648
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 2: game test?

1649
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 3: We are absolutely betting on MBL games. Tonight's game is

1650
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 3: the Adelaide thirty six ers posting them Melbourne somethings? The

1651
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 3: Knicks part in my ignorance? Why do they call the

1652
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:18,719
Speaker 3: adelade thirty six ers thirty six.

1653
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 6: Erst I knew? Yokana said, I don't know.

1654
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 3: Something something to do with their proclamation.

1655
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 6: Maybe those are your gold Russia something.

1656
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, they found a cool opal or something in Adelaide.

1657
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 2: That's all I remember. Adelaide. Everything's underground in Adelaide.

1658
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 3: Not right, beautiful city.

1659
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 6: Just yeah, it's Adelaide.

1660
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 2: That's what it says on their side when you come

1661
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 2: into the city. Beautiful city, but it's Adelaide.

1662
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 3: The gold was dribbling down the hills or something in

1663
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 3: nineteen thirty six, eighteen thirty six, seventeen thirty six. Anyway,

1664
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 3: Nick Cleveland Tonight both five and seven, both on losing streaks.

1665
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 3: Knicks have lost four in a row, Calves have lost

1666
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 3: three in a row, and both Lee's favorite teams. So

1667
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 3: Calves get two and a half points at home so

1668
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 3: they can lose by a couple start with you Lee

1669
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 3: next that cast two and a half points.

1670
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, either team has been playing well, but that

1671
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 6: the sex Land backcourt is still out. I think the Knicks.

1672
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 6: I think the Knicks can win this one, so I'll

1673
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 6: take New York. But they're not playing all that well.

1674
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 6: They think, yeah, well it's a tough one, this is

1675
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 6: a this is all right now. I just think the

1676
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 6: Knicks that have got a better talented team with those

1677
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 6: few players there for the Cavs.

1678
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 3: So New York, all right, skates, what do you think?

1679
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 2: It's very difficult. I have no clue who's gonna hit

1680
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 2: more three tonight between these two teams. I think that's

1681
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 2: who will ultimately just win the game and give me

1682
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 2: the New York Knicks. Let's get a nice little Austin

1683
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 2: Rivers game here. I'll take the Knicks to win by three.

1684
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 2: I do not feel confident in this though. You got

1685
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 2: Trey well.

1686

Speaker 5: The Knicks haven't played a close game in a week

1687
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 5: and a half and the Calves haven't played a close

1688
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,320

Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, I as well will take the calves.

1692
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 3: Maybe they've got a little extra oomph because they were

1693
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 3: involved in that four team trade. Teams that involved in

1694
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 3: that trade, they've all won, right.

1695
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right. The Nets won, Yep, that's right.

1696
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 2: And then of course the Rockets last night, the Pacers

01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 2: last night.

01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 7: Yep.

1699
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's good way. I guess the Nets made

1700
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:35,799
Speaker 3: the trie Oh yeah.

1701
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:36,360

Speaker 2: or more. Good luck?

1708
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 3: All right.

1709
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 2: Best way to wrap up a drop podcast is a

1710
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 2: little rapid fire fun. Lelee, what do you got for

1711
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 2: the guys?

1712
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 6: This week's blockbuster trade? So James Hodden reunited with these

1713
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 6: full team MIT's Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. Who, Well,

1714
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 6: what is something from your past you would like to

1715
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 6: be reunited with?

1716
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 5: Treat I'm lucky in that I've been wearing an extra

1717
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,560
Speaker 5: large since I was in like fourth grade. You know,

1718
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 5: you wore giant clothes back in the day, and now

1719
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 5: they actually fit me right, So I can usually when

1720
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 5: I get a chance to go home, I can find

1721
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 5: some old stuff that I want to wear and integrate

1722
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 5: it into my wardrobe today, actual vintage stuff.

1723
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 3: I love it.

1724
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 5: One thing I haven't been able to find though, I

1725
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 5: had a pair of orange and one tear away pants,

1726
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 5: and I would just love to have those back. You know,

1727
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 5: tear away pants super impractical when you're in high school

1728
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,560
Speaker 5: and people just want to tear your pants off. But

1729
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 5: now to be chilling at home, you know, maybe I'm upstairs,

1730
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 5: I'm watching basketball, and then it finally comes time to

1731
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 5: go to bed at night, I'm like, all right, time

1732
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 5: for bed, Hop into bed, good night, wake up in

1733
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 5: the morning. Button them back up. I wish I could

1734
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 5: find them.

1735
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: So it's the worst part about tearaway pants is button

1736
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 2: them in the backup, because then, as you always like,

1737
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 2: it's like putting a a shower curtain. I can't stand

1738
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 2: when you miss like a ring and then you like

1739
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 2: you're a get halfway. Oh man, you did that. I

1740
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 2: always did that with the buttons too on my pants.

1741
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 2: You miss one, you you know, you know what I mean. Anyway,

1742
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:12,959
Speaker 2: tests Sorry.

1743
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:18,560
Speaker 3: What would I like to be reunited with my athleticism? Why?

1744
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 3: It's true though, you know I never had a lot,

1745
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 3: but a couple decades ago there was some there. Now

1746
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 3: it just sucks. Yeah, I you know, there's not a

1747
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 3: lot of variance in my speeds. You know a lot

1748
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 3: of guys have you know they say in the NBA

1749
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 3: they've's got multiple speeds, can slow it down. I mean,

1750
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 3: my sprint speed is basically the same as my job speed,

1751
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 3: not any variance. It stinks. It stinks. So yeah, my athleticism,

1752
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 3: where have you gone? Oh? My athleticism?

1753
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 4: Where well? I mean, the the obvious answer is people

1754
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 4: in general. But maybe because there's a scandal happening over

1755
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 4: at NBA TV right now, it's the top of the

1756
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 4: brain is the NBA TV. Our old crew, you know,

1757
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 4: in our camera guys Rick Todd, Sharon and Carlos and

1758
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 4: there's probably fourteen people working on our show. Every day.

1759
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 4: It was the best part of the day. It was

1760
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 4: like from four to six thirty. It was just we

1761
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 4: had a full crew of people. And I miss those guys,

1762
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 4: especially now during these twelve hour days when I'm literally

1763
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 4: doing all of those jobs and of course, you know Mattio.

1764
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 4: It's weird not seeing him every day still, you know.

1765
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 4: So that's my answer. Our old crew.

1766
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 5: Every day before the show, do you play some of

1767
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 5: our theme music and dance with a garbage can just

1768
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 5: to get that rick feeling back in your bones.

1769
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1770
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 4: I put on a green screen as well, and I

1771
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:44,760
Speaker 4: walk on the moon and.

1772
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 2: Stuff like Todd I was gonna say to you drop

1773
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 2: a big fart at the back of the room, like

1774
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 2: Bill doing some graphic work.

1775
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 6: Oh man, okay. Next rapid park question comes from Jordan

1776
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 6: in Auburn. I'm watching a sports program Top ten James

1777
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 6: Harden moments, and they have James Harden leaves Rockets back

1778
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 6: from three to one deficit in twenty fifteen Western Conference

1779
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 6: semifinals against the Clippers as number nine. I found this

1780
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 6: to be an interesting selection considering the iconic moment from

1781
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 6: that comeback was Josh Smith and Corey Brewer reigning threes

1782
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 6: while hard and sulked on the bench. My question is,

1783
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 6: what is something that you get undue credit for Trey.

1784
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 2: Having a birthday?

1785
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 5: Anytime somebody's like, hey, happy birthday, have a great birthday.

1786
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 2: You didn't do anything.

1787
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 3: You're just bored.

1788
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 2: He had no part in it.

1789
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 5: You just showed up one day, and now people celebrate

1790
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 5: you once a year. It's a nice deal. It's a

1791
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 5: nice racket. We're all running here celebrating these birthday I

1792
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 5: thought we did no reason for it. We don't get

1793
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 5: any credit for that. Give the credit to my mom,

1794
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 5: I'd say, and your dad too.

1795
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,599
Speaker 2: But mainly not on the birthday.

1796
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 3: Tass Well, I'm going to give credit to a mom

1797
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 3: right now, to my wife. I get undue credit that

1798
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 3: my kids are cute. It's all my wife. It's all her.

1799
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,560
Speaker 3: It's all her, no doubt about it. And she was

1800
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 3: the one who's done everything. And also, you know you're

1801
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,080

1805

Speaker 3: just show a little love. And that's what I just

1806
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 3: did for my wife. I told her she's the reason

1807
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 3: my kids are cute, and now I'm going to be
