So what happens when 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 3: teams lose is we start to discuss the dearly departed, right, 13 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: we start to discuss while the body's still warm. We 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: still have you know, thunder to talk about, pastre to 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: talk about. And it's gonna be a hard series to 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: get people interested in just because it won't be followed 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: up by the ratings wins, because they're no name teams. 18 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: I mean again, you can take this as a slight 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 3: if you'd like, and I have obviously. I was just 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: in Oklahoma this morning, right, so I spent a lot 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 3: of time there. I have friends in the organization. And 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: what happens is people who are can be really sensitive 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 3: can take things in a way where they'll go, oh. 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: Well you you just a jerk. 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: You just try it, Like no, these are the two 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 3: smallest markets ever to meet up in NBA Championship. There's 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: small markets, doesn't matter, has nothing to do. This is 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: a lot like college athletics when we talk about conference 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 3: rey alignment. 30 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,279 Speaker 2: You're like, well, we've won this conference, We've. 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: Won this week, Like nobody cares how many people actually 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: watch when you play, right, It's like no one actually 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: outside of me said this this year. It's like everybody 34 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: for years talked about like why do we care so 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: much about Texas? 36 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: Why do we like, hey, what was the number one 37 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: rated game this year Georgia? 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: When Texas is back, the numbers are with them. Anyway, 39 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 3: won't be the most heavily watched, but we'll discuss it 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: a bunch. But I do think the Knicks are interesting 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: because like so many teams, and we've had a bunch. 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: The Atlanta Hawks went to the Eastern Conference Finals. You 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: can kind of go through the Philadelphia seventy six ers 44 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 3: go in the Eastern Conference Finals. You have teams that 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: it can be a little bit rare that they got there, 46 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: and then are they one step away or they can 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: try to make one big move. Let's talk about the 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: dearly depart of the New York Knicks. The athletic as 49 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 3: a writer, I think he's really talented. Got him Fred Katz. 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: He combined with James Edwards and they wrote this piece 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: on the future of the Knicks. Publicly, Knicks players made 52 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: veiled comments all season about the poor communication causing their inconsistencies. 53 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: Behind the scenes, they and coaches expressed frustration with towns 54 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: defensive habits, less concerned with his talent level, more with 55 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: his process on that end. Too often, Towns executed incorrect 56 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: coverages without communicating why he did it. After it became 57 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 3: a theme, players worried Towns didn't grasp the importance of 58 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 3: the matter. So what happens is you start lobbing grenades 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: at Karl Anthony Towns and the defensive metrics are pretty obvious. 60 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: He's not a very good defender. He does bring offense 61 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: in space, and as I said when the trade was made, 62 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if it makes h a championship team, 63 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: but it fits considering Jalen Brunson is probably the best 64 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: physical small guard in the league at getting and scoring 65 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: tough twos, okay, you know, getting paint twos, and now 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: you have a big who's capable of shooting from three 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: and getting his own shot. Here's Jellen Brunson. He had 68 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: this exchange with a reporter about Tom Thibodeau after the 69 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: game on Saturday. 70 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: You talk about the confidence. Obviously, I feel like nobody 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 4: takes more criticism than Tom, and this team obviously has 72 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: turned around during his tenure. Do you kind of feel 73 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 4: that going forward he's the same guy? If two guys 74 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 4: the rest of the way at next level? 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 5: This is Is that a real question right now? 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 6: You just asked me if I believe that, if he's 77 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 6: the right guy. 78 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 7: Yes, thanks, guys. 79 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: Come on yeah again, I'm with Jalen Brunson, like, what 80 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: are we doing? 81 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: You know, what are we doing now? 82 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: The flawed to the Knicks is this right? Their two 83 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: best offensive players are their two worst defensive players. And 84 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: that's really, really, really hard, if not impossible to navigate 85 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: in the NBA these days, you can have one minus defender, 86 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: you can't have two and three. Well, that's what the 87 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: Lakers have, right of your best players, because in order 88 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: for you to win, you gotta have your best play 89 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: now the best of there's the floor. 90 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: You can't have two that can't guard anybody. 91 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: And Brunson it's not like he doesn't, but he is 92 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: smallish and he's not a great defender. And Carl Towns 93 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: is plenty big, but not very athletic and not very 94 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 3: locked in on the defensive end. A lot of people 95 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: have brought up this remark from Becky Hammond, who's now 96 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: a head coach in the WNBA former NBA assistant. When 97 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: she was working on ESPN. This is a year and 98 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: a half ago. In December, she said this about. 99 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 8: Brunson, How stuck do you think the Knicks are here 100 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 8: in the Eastern Conference? 101 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: Well, I certainly agree with you. 102 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 8: They're not getting into that tier. They don't have enough personnel, 103 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 8: they don't have the manpower that they need to hang 104 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 8: with those guys. I think you're going to get a 105 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 8: consistent team like they've been. Their pretty good team. They're 106 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 8: they're well coached, they're going to be on their defensive game. 107 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, they don't have 108 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 8: a dude. You got to have a dude, You got 109 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 8: to have a one a dude, and they're missing that. 110 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 9: At the end of the day. 111 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 8: If we're just getting down to brass taxis. 112 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. 113 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 6: I didn't want to disagree with Bick. 114 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: And today they do have their dude, Jaylen Bronson. Now 115 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: he's too small. 116 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 10: But here's the thing, and that's that's about you. 117 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 9: I got a philosophy. 118 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: Can go ahead. 119 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 8: If your best player is small, you're not winning. John Stockton, 120 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 8: Alan Iberson, Steve nash you could go down the list. 121 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 8: Steph Curry's but that's small. 122 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: He's like six three. 123 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 6: But but also though. 124 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 8: I mean he's the greatest shooter to ever walk the planet. 125 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 8: He's he's in, he's gonna get out. 126 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 9: Okay, let's see history says she is right. 127 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: Okay, but but we're living in a new age, okay, 128 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: new day. Well this is where. 129 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 3: This is where you have people on the show that 130 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: have no sense of history. Isaiah Thomas is small and 131 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 3: he won in a much more physical era. Now, where 132 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: Becky Hammond is right is if you are and this 133 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: is like Steph Curry, if you're a minus defender, they're 134 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: gonna hunt one person. 135 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 2: You can't have two that they hunt. You just can't. 136 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: And that's where when the Warriors have won, they've thrown 137 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: out four tremendous defenders, and Steph's gotten better defensively. His 138 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: success or lack of success, in my opinion, has nothing 139 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: to do with how tall he is, how how strong 140 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: he is, that he is whatever. 141 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 6: It doesn't. 142 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: She's allowed to have that philosophy. There are people in 143 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: the NBA who have that belief. She's not the first 144 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 3: one to come up with it. But again, does it 145 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: matter that he's I don't know, six' to? 146 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: One it? Does it matters if you have your other best. 147 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: Player can't guard a soul and won't communicate defensively and 148 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: gets lost in. Whatever now if you put four other 149 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: jn it's like When Allen iverson went to THE Nba, 150 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: finals he had four other junk yard. Dogs now they 151 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: couldn't score enough and oh, yeah by the, way they 152 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 3: were in The. Lakers LIKE i had Gave Allen iverson 153 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: another you, know a big guy of the type Of sequille. 154 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 3: O'Neil it's a different story, Now Ian iverson couldn't be 155 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,679 Speaker 3: that guy With shaquille. 156 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: O'Neil i'm not an. 157 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 3: ABSOLUTIST i don't think anybody's too big or too, small 158 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: uh too fat or too. Tall BUT i think pointing 159 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: To brunson as being too small is the reason for 160 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: the downfall of The. 161 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: Knicks sort of. LAUGHABLE i think what. 162 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: MOST nba, people what most coaches would tell you is 163 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: what they've run into is in order to stop, somebody 164 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 3: you can't have both and maybe even one of those 165 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 3: guys on the. 166 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: Floor. 167 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: Right that's why they went on runs with duce McBride 168 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: at the.

Ways but the fact of the 335 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 7: matter is that whichever direction you want to, go there's 336 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 7: just they're not quite. THERE i think that THEY a 337 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 7: case could be made that they overachieved with what they. 338 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 7: Have at the very least they. ACHIEVED i don't think 339 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 7: there was some miscarriage or some mauth seasons that went 340 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 7: on for the fact that they didn't end up in 341 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 7: THE Nba. 342 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: Finals There i've you, know obviously there's some Negative confony town. 343 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 3: Stuff some are saying you can't win With Jalen brunson 344 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: in that. Role what do you think they need to 345 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: do to take the next. 346 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 7: STEP i do believe that what they need is they 347 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 7: need a genuine two, way big power forward. Type AND 348 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 7: i don't know that it has to be like, This 349 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 7: you know that it has to Be yannisoft at the 350 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 7: compo or with With Kevin durant improve. Them, YEAH i 351 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 7: could make a case that he, Would but you, Know 352 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 7: i'm looking at guys like, it AND i don't know 353 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 7: whether they're available or that they get. Him but A 354 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 7: Demontis sabonis From, sacramento like a guy who can be 355 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 7: somewhat of a playmaker on the offensive end you have 356 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 7: to guard and uh and defensively is capable of giving 357 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 7: you more than you know on a on a consistent 358 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 7: basis Than Karl Anthony towns is but those you, know 359 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 7: those guys are at this at this, stage even With 360 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 7: Jalen brunson taking less the amount that they spent on 361 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 7: Getting Michale bridges as if he was the final, piece 362 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 7: is coming back to haunt them at this. Point that 363 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 7: the type of, second you, know front line number two 364 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 7: player that they need in order to play for a 365 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 7: championship is going to be infinitely difficult to. Acquire but to, 366 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 7: me that's what they need if they're going to reach 367 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 7: the next. 368 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: Round, okay let's go to The Minnesota. Timberwolves, yeah what 369 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 3: do you think they need to do to change the? 370 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 7: TJECTORY i, think first and, Foremost Anthony edwards needs to 371 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 7: become a complete. Player he needs to be a three level. 372 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 7: Scorer he needs to be able to operate from multiple 373 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 7: places on the. Floor he needs to understand what being 374 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 7: the leader of a team really. Requires, defensively he has 375 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 7: to maintain his focus and set an example at both. 376 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 7: Ends AND i say all that BECAUSE i believe that 377 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 7: he's capable of, it BUT i REALLY i have a 378 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 7: hard time with when a team falls. Short we make 379 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 7: also of allowances for the best player or for a 380 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 7: player that we are projecting as being an all time 381 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 7: great WHEN i can see so many clear shortcomings in their. 382 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 7: Games so first and, FOREMOST i believe that ant needs 383 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 7: to improve on a multitude of level levels and that 384 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 7: would solve a lot of their. Problems they're the most 385 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 7: expensive roster in the, league and so you, know generally 386 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 7: if you're getting a player or you have a star 387 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 7: that is not quite, there either they're not getting paid you, know, 388 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 7: maximum or there are pieces around them that are getting 389 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 7: paid less than their actual market. Value Steph curry again 390 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 7: in the twenty twenty Two warriors With Andrew wiggins And Jordan. 391 00:21:51,000 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 7: Poole you, know examples like examples like, that and so you, 392 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 7: know they're they're they have the biggest pay role in the. 393 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 7: League they are in a mid sized, market and they 394 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 7: have a couple of. GUYS i, mean it's gonna be 395 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 7: hard for them to maintain what they have right. Now 396 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 7: if they're willing to spend the money to do, it 397 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 7: THEN i would do that and, say you know, what 398 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 7: we need you to take the next, step BECAUSE i 399 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 7: think if he takes the next, step if he becomes 400 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 7: fully what he's capable of, being, uh then it solves 401 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 7: a lot of their problems. 402 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: Before we get to THE nba. Finals let let's peer 403 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 3: on the. League where are we on the where are 404 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: you hearing on The gianna's? 405 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 10: Front? 406 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 7: Uh i've been exploring that a lot this, morning and 407 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 7: you know that the the tricky part is you're looking 408 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 7: at teams that have the asset That milwaukee would Want San, Antonio, 409 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 7: Brooklyn houston or at the top of the, list and 410 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 7: there's a question, of you, know does the honest want 411 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 7: to go to a team that's able to CONTEND uh 412 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 7: and how much influence is that is he going to 413 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 7: have on? THAT i would imagine considerable, Amount and that's 414 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 7: where it gets tricky because those teams don't have the 415 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 7: assets that he ultimately or that The milwaukee ultimately would. 416 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 7: Want so that's where that's where it becomes, difficult and 417 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 7: probably you're going to need multiple teams involved in order 418 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 7: to get him TO uh to the desired. DESTINATION i 419 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 7: don't know exactly right, Now LIKE i don't know that 420 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 7: there's a look or there's a there's a pecking order 421 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 7: in terms of who has the greatest, advantage But giannis 422 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 7: is there's there's Going it could be a very crazy 423 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 7: summer BECAUSE i do think that it's going to we 424 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 7: are going to get to the point Where yannis and 425 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 7: The Milwaukee bucks agree that it's time to part ways 426 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 7: and they're going to start exploring. 427 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 2: That, yeah well you think we're going to get to that. 428 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: Point that's. Interesting, YEAH i. 429 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 7: Think there's any doubt that we get to that point this. 430 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 7: SUMMER i don't from The Bucks i'm trying to convince 431 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 7: him to. Today i'm trying to convince them. Today if 432 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 7: you go to one of the teams in The West 433 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 7: San antonio Or, houston, oh that's a that's a. Minefield 434 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 7: you're better off you giving us a year to kind 435 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 7: of straighten things out here and compete in The. East 436 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 7: brooklyn's not going to get you there anytime. Soon like 437 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 7: that would be the ARGUMENT i would be making With. 438 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 7: Milwaukee BUT i just once Once giannis suggested that he's 439 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 7: open to the. IDEA i think IT'S i think it's 440 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 7: really hard to turn that. 441 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: Around durant likely on the? Move who else? Likely who 442 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: else likely on the? 443 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 5: Move? 444 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 7: Uh, boy that's a good. Question you know. What i'll 445 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 7: be interested to see what the what The Golden State 446 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 7: warriors are, doing whether they're going to hold serve with 447 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 7: what they, have or whether they explore we want to 448 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 7: Keep Jimmy, butler what can we Translate Jimmy butler. Into 449 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 7: obviously The Phoenix suns have long held held interest. There you, 450 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 7: know do they go back and revisit that kind of 451 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 7: think across the, board like you know Does. MINNESOTA i 452 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 7: think that they'll probably look to re Up Julius randall 453 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 7: as opposed to moving. Him but they have they, they're 454 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 7: LIKE i, said the most expensive. Team they're into the second. 455 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 7: Apron their ability to to uh improve their team is extremely. 456 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 7: LIMITED i would be interested to see whether they they 457 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 7: look at making a move For Kevin durant and moving 458 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 7: some of their. Pieces the problem is that it's going 459 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 7: to be multiple. Pieces it would have to Be Rudy 460 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 7: gobert And Mike, comley or would have to Be Julius 461 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 7: randall And jaden McDaniels or you, Know Rob dillingham And 462 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 7: Mikil Alexander. Walker, like they'd have to move multiple. Pieces 463 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 7: AND i don't know if you're Adding Kevin durant at 464 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 7: this stage of his, career he's still good enough to warrant. 465 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 3: That, okay last, thing you know what we can't do, 466 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 3: LIKE i don't like the predictions, Thing but what do 467 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 3: you think about? That when you think about this? 468 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 2: Series what do you? 469 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 7: THINK i think that Any Y pacers have the capability 470 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 7: of making it a more interesting series than people are 471 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 7: giving him credit. FOR i don't see. THEM i don't 472 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 7: see a path in which they win, it or THAT 473 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 7: i would forecast that they're going to win, it BECAUSE 474 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 7: i just think there are some matchups there that are 475 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 7: going to be difficult for them to. Overcome And Oklahoma 476 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 7: city thunder their. Strength are they mirror what The Indiana pacers? 477 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 7: Have there's two caveats to all, that and one is 478 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 7: that The pacers collectively have shot lights out from three point? 479 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 7: Range and we know Ok see is good at defending the. 480 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 7: Three can they defend the three as well as they 481 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 7: have against a team that has as many guys who 482 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 7: can shoot the three as well As indiana? Can and 483 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 7: as we, know the three point shot can have a 484 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 7: huge influence on, games And indiana defends the three fairly, 485 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 7: well so they could have an advantage in that. Department 486 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 7: and then the other Is Rick carlisle and his ability 487 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 7: to work magic with underrated teams and multiple. Pieces AND 488 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 7: i would give him the advantage Against Mark. Dagnell dagnel right, 489 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 7: now in spite of whatever difference there may be in the. 490 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 7: Rosters i've Seen Rick carlisle do. It he did it 491 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 7: with The Dallas mavericks against The Miami. HEAT i don't, 492 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 7: AGAIN i. DON'T i would not forecast a win For, 493 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 7: indiana but you, know if it went to six, games 494 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 7: maybe even, SEVEN i would not be. 495 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 2: Shocked you're the, Best. 496 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: Buke appreciate you joining.
