Speaker 1: Welcome to this League Uncut in the world of twenty
Speaker 1: four hour NBA news. This's you, Chris Haynes. It's time,
Speaker 1: Mark Stein. It's so time. This League Uncut is underway
Speaker 1: and on fire. This should be a good one.
Speaker 2: Friends, Welcome in to another edition of This League Uncut.
Speaker 2: Mark Stein Chris Haynes no longer side by side on
Speaker 2: the Vegas Strip fun while it lasted, though, we are
Speaker 2: still kind of basking in the glory of our first
Speaker 2: live pod together, the first time we were together anywhere
Speaker 2: in months, had a tremendous hour at Caesar's Palace with
Speaker 2: Lakers coach Darvin Ham. So good we made it a
Speaker 2: two part episod. But summer league is over. I am
Speaker 2: back in Dallas, the esteemed mister Haynes back in Northern California.
Speaker 2: Free agency, as we've been saying it ended, essentially ended
Speaker 2: quite quickly, most of the big names off the board
Speaker 2: within forty eight to seventy two hours. At this point,
Speaker 2: pretty much all the salary cap space has been spent.
Speaker 2: There are still some names out there, Kelly Ubray, Christian Wood,
Speaker 2: Derek Jones Junior. If you want to look at restricted
Speaker 2: free agents, PJ. Washington. His situation still remains unsolved, but
Speaker 2: you know, free agency wise, we've pretty much seen it
Speaker 2: all at this point. The league, nonetheless, if Summer League
Speaker 2: is over all the thirty teams have gone home, executives
Speaker 2: and coaches have started to disperse on some semblance of
Speaker 2: a vacation. But the league is also still on a
Speaker 2: three pronged trade watch. Damian Lillard, James Harden, Pascal Siakam
Speaker 2: all three year All stars. All three, maybe not all three,
Speaker 2: but all three theoretically could be traded between now and
Speaker 2: the start of the season. Remember, the season starts a
Speaker 2: little bit later this time around. We've got the World
Speaker 2: Cup coming up in Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines. That's
Speaker 2: August twenty fifth to September tenth. Training camp starts. October
Speaker 2: second is media day for twenty eight of the league's
Speaker 2: thirty teams, Dallas and Minnesota because they are playing abroad
Speaker 2: in the Exhibi Mission season, they they'll have their media days.
Speaker 2: Believe it's the twenty ninth of September. First practice on
Speaker 2: September thirtieth, But Lillard Harden them, how many of those
Speaker 2: guys will any of those guys be moved before training
Speaker 2: camp starts. And now I bring in my good friend,
Speaker 2: the man who has all the answers to all of
Speaker 2: these difficult questions. And I'm kidding because nobody has those answers.
Speaker 2: But I like, I like putting Hi under, putting him,
Speaker 2: putting him on the spot a little bit. Here, my man,
Speaker 2: Chris Haynes, How you doing, how you holding up? You
Speaker 2: get back? You get back home from Vegas?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm back home.
Speaker 4: But I definitely do not have all the answers because
Speaker 4: if I did, my a C would be fixed by now.
Speaker 3: Man, it's scandal still without a C.
Speaker 2: How long has it been.
Speaker 4: It's been about a month now, been about a month now.
Speaker 4: And the AC service, the company keeps counseling on only
Speaker 4: on me. It's just just they've just been back lawn.
Speaker 4: I don't know when they're going to get to me.
Speaker 4: And I've been sweating my ass off right now. And
Speaker 4: our producer, our great producer, Ryan said that I could
Speaker 4: not sit by my fan that I was comfortably sitting
Speaker 4: at because it would show excuse me, it would you
Speaker 4: would hear it on this podcast. So for our listeners, Stein,
Speaker 4: I am away from the fan. I'm about ten feet
Speaker 4: away from the fan. I can't feel it, but hopefully
Speaker 4: you guys and the listeners can't hear it. I'm just
Speaker 4: pushing through Stein to get through, but I'm doing it
Speaker 4: off my listeners also because our great producer Ryan told.
Speaker 2: Me to Ryan's what I'm When Ryan Music speaks, we say, yes,
Speaker 2: we don't even question it.
Speaker 3: But I'm good, Man, I'm good. It was good seeing
Speaker 3: you Stein.
Speaker 4: It was a good when I give another shout out
Speaker 4: to Darvin Ham for coming through for us out there
Speaker 4: in Vegas at Caesars Palace.
Speaker 3: Man, that was one awesome podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and before we even get to the trade stuff,
Speaker 2: and we will, we will get to all three of
Speaker 2: those guys a second. But I really do want to
Speaker 2: tip the cap to Darvin Ham because I've written about
Speaker 2: this a couple of times, just so people understand. You know,
Speaker 2: there was a pretty crazy situation at Caesar's the day
Speaker 2: that we were there, and you know it was written
Speaker 2: about extensively. It was national news. But the part that
Speaker 2: I've written about, you know, we didn't see it since
Speaker 2: it feel that there was nothing near us really that
Speaker 2: would even let you know anything was going on. But
Speaker 2: NBA security sent out alerts that day to basically anybody
Speaker 2: at the Summer League in a team capacity, and I saw,
Speaker 2: you know, I've seen what these alerts looked like. And
Speaker 2: NBA security was basically telling anyone associated with Summer League
Speaker 2: do not go to Caesar's Palace right now because of
Speaker 2: police activity in the area. And Darvin Ham easily could
Speaker 2: have seen that alert and said, you know what, guys,
Speaker 2: I'm out, but he didn't. He came to the pod
Speaker 2: as scheduled, right on time and gave us an hour
Speaker 2: when we asked for like twenty twenty five minutes. So
Speaker 2: that was truly truly a Yoman effort. And I hope
Speaker 2: everybody loved that because I don't think you could ask
Speaker 2: for much more candor than we got from the Lakers coach.
Speaker 2: But all right, that is enough. That is enough backstory
Speaker 2: and background. I know you guys all want to know
Speaker 2: about the trades, but I mean the reality is, you know,
Speaker 2: there's not a ton of movement. I think we anyone
Speaker 2: who has followed the Damian Lillard situation understands this pretty clearly.
Speaker 2: At this point, Damian Lillard wants to go to Miami.
Speaker 2: The Blazers to this point do not like the offers
Speaker 2: that have been put on the table by the heat.
Speaker 2: Nobody else is bidding at this point, and so we
Speaker 2: have generally a stalemate. What's going to happen to make
Speaker 2: this thing move? Will it move? Will Chris Haynes will
Speaker 2: his will his air conditioning be repaired before we get
Speaker 2: some movement on the Damian Lillard situation.
Speaker 3: I still hope. So oh, I still hope.
Speaker 2: So I mean, what do you what do you think
Speaker 2: is going on? What is the best what is the
Speaker 2: best update you can provide on on what's going on
Speaker 2: with Dame? Uh?
Speaker 4: This is what I can say that's happening. It's obviously
Speaker 4: the Miami heat. You know, they're a bit frustrated with
Speaker 4: how things are moving along slowly. Portland is telling them
Speaker 4: to bring us your best offer. Miami would like to
Speaker 4: know what does Portland want and Miami is not getting
Speaker 4: that answer, and so they feel like things can be
Speaker 4: moving on a little bit quicker if Portland would say
Speaker 4: exactly what it is they want, because obviously Miami doesn't
Speaker 4: have all the assets that Portland would want in a
Speaker 4: return for Damian little trade, so they want to know, Okay,
Speaker 4: what do we have to get out there, what other
Speaker 4: teams to, what other teams do do we have to
Speaker 4: get involved to make this work, and so far the
Speaker 4: communication is just not there.
Speaker 3: And so that's that's making.
Speaker 4: This situation rather frustrating on on that side for Miami,
Speaker 4: what I can tell you is both teams are they're
Speaker 4: heading to their head on vacation and you know, especially
Speaker 4: the key the key people in the front office who
Speaker 4: plays a larger responsibility in trying to make a deal happen.
Speaker 4: That's not to say that a trade can't be done
Speaker 4: during vacation, but that's that's just where things stand right now,
Speaker 4: and that's that's just where we're headed.
Speaker 3: So still not a lot of clarity. Still not a
Speaker 3: lot of clarity.
Speaker 4: And I know Demi Lili's agent, Aaron Goodwin, was hoping
Speaker 4: that Miami and Portland would meet in Las Vegas during
Speaker 4: Summer League.
Speaker 3: That did not happen. So this, you know, this could
Speaker 3: potentially be the long game.
Speaker 2: It sounds like it. I mean, we know that a
Speaker 2: Miami offer as it stands, it's obviously going to feature
Speaker 2: Tyler Hero and multiple first round picks and some pick swaps.
Speaker 2: You know, does it include you know, does it include
Speaker 2: a Caleb Martin. Does it include other young players on
Speaker 2: the heat roster? Is there a way Miami can put
Speaker 2: something together on its own without the help of a
Speaker 2: third or a fourth team that that Partland would ever accept.
Speaker 2: I mean, these are the questions that everybody in the
Speaker 2: league's been asking, But I'm gonna ask you something different.
Speaker 2: Let's say there's no change in status between now and October. Second,
Speaker 2: what would be your forecast? Does Dame go to Blazers camp?
Speaker 2: Does he potentially not go to Blazers camp. It's I
Speaker 2: think it's hard for people who have watched him and
Speaker 2: just know how much he loves to play, it's kind
Speaker 2: of hard to imagine him not reporting to camp. But
Speaker 2: do we have any sense of where this thing would
Speaker 2: go if if there's no movement here for the next
Speaker 2: six seven weeks.
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, Stein, I don't know. I
Speaker 3: really don't know.
Speaker 4: All I can say is I know Dame is, you know,
Speaker 4: spending time with the kids, and he's ramped up his
Speaker 4: offseason workouts, so he's pretty his own Dan. He's being
Speaker 4: He's been pretty low key. I've talked to him just
Speaker 4: on a few occasions, you know, giving himim his space,
Speaker 4: So I've really don't know if he even knows the
Speaker 4: answer to that. I think, you know, he obviously would
Speaker 4: want a resolution quicker than later, so I think he's
Speaker 4: just trying to bury his head into his workouts and
Speaker 4: to his family in hopes of this thing coming to
Speaker 4: a resolution.
Speaker 3: I just don't just don't know if that's anytime soon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, I mean we expected at the
Speaker 2: least some sort of communication between the teams in Vegas,
Speaker 2: and as you just clarified, we didn't even get that.
Speaker 2: So making that kind of forecast not easy right now.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the problem with all these things is,
Speaker 2: you know, I know everybody wants us to say, yes,
Speaker 2: the trade is going to happen on August whatever, fill
Speaker 2: in the you know, it's just it's just not possible
Speaker 2: right now. I mean last year, and we saw this
Speaker 2: last summer, you know, Donovan Mitchell, there was very intense
Speaker 2: discussion about Donovan Mitchell trades right around the time of
Speaker 2: Summer League in Vegas, and we didn't see a Donovan
Speaker 2: Mitchell trade to Cleveland until early September. So it is
Speaker 2: hard to forecast in all these situations. You know, the
Speaker 2: same goes with James Harden in Philly. You know, obviously
Speaker 2: that interest in that storyline got sparked further this week
Speaker 2: when the quotes came out from Joel Embiid about I
Speaker 2: want to win a title in Philly or wherever it is,
Speaker 2: and that naturally put a brighter spotlight on the Sixers.
Speaker 2: But it's I think it's somewhat of the same thing.
Speaker 2: Is that, you know, James Harden has made it clear
Speaker 2: that he wants to be elsewhere. The Sixers have tried
Speaker 2: to dissuade him of that stance, and admittedly have not
Speaker 2: succeeded in those attempts. James Harden still wants out. Think
Speaker 2: we saw an IG post from him earlier today. You know,
Speaker 2: I am not the IG expert, but I've been assured
Speaker 2: that this was from his IG account. Verified been comfortable
Speaker 2: for so long, It's time to get uncomfortable. A very
Speaker 2: cryptic statement from James Harden. What are you hearing, if anything?
Speaker 2: On the Harden front. We know the Clippers are where
Speaker 2: he wants to go, how how fiercely the Clippers are
Speaker 2: prepared to go after him. I think it's still somewhat
Speaker 2: of a matter of debate. Where are we on Harden.
Speaker 4: This is what I can say on the Harden front.
Speaker 4: Philly is not going to just give him away. That's
Speaker 4: in a lot of ways. I don't know if I
Speaker 4: will compare this to Dame situation. Yeah, Like I don't
Speaker 4: know if I will compare us the Dame situation, because
Speaker 4: it seems to be a little bit more tension on
Speaker 4: that front. But then again, there's some tension here as well,
Speaker 4: you know, And I think I don't want to say
Speaker 4: anything and speculate, but it'd be They've got to wait
Speaker 4: to see what James Harden says about how everything really
Speaker 4: played out.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure there's a.
Speaker 4: Lot more that hasn't been reported out there as to
Speaker 4: why he's choosing to go this route all of a sudden.
Speaker 4: So what I do know is Philly is going to
Speaker 4: try to maximize their return.
Speaker 3: This won't be you know, if.
Speaker 4: Dame's situation wasn't at the forefront, it would be this
Speaker 4: James Harden news right here, and it probably be a
Speaker 4: lot more dissecting of it if there really hasn't been.
Speaker 3: Really the primarily focus has been on.
Speaker 4: Dame now, I think largely because this is Dame's first
Speaker 4: trade request after what eleven years and this is what
Speaker 4: James Harden's third so we got of like bend down
Speaker 4: this role before.
Speaker 3: So uh, you know, I don't know they're prepared as well.
Speaker 4: You know from what I was told, Philly is prepared
Speaker 4: as well to take this all the way to training
Speaker 4: camp if they don't find the right deal.
Speaker 3: So you know, what does James Harden do?
Speaker 2: That's the thing. I think the training camp questions that
Speaker 2: they're even louder when it comes to Harden because because
Speaker 2: of course we remember it was just two ish years
Speaker 2: ago that he wanted to be traded away from Houston
Speaker 2: and his training camp presence, he didn't show up right away.
Speaker 2: He clearly was not in optimal condition. And that's what
Speaker 2: people are wondering now, what you know, if there is
Speaker 2: no trade, if the Sixers maintain this fairly rigid stance
Speaker 2: that they've taken. And you know, Darryl Morey has been
Speaker 2: you know, he's now addressed as publicly. He's gone on
Speaker 2: ninety seven point five FM and Philly much like he
Speaker 2: did during the Ben Simmons trade saga. And and you know,
Speaker 2: Darryl Morey has spelled it out and said that unless
Speaker 2: he gets a star level player back or the pieces
Speaker 2: that can clearly ensure a subsequent trade that lead to
Speaker 2: a star player back that they're not just going to
Speaker 2: give in and trade James Harden. So how uncomfortable? James
Speaker 2: Harden is the one who used that word earlier Thursday.
Speaker 2: We're taping this on Thursday night. The Thursday word again
Speaker 2: from James Harden quote, been comfortable for so long, it's
Speaker 2: time to get uncomfortable. How uncomfortable is he prepared to
Speaker 2: make it for the Sixers in camp? I mean, and
Speaker 2: you know that is again a question that not the
Speaker 2: easiest to answer on July twentieth, but understandably the question
Speaker 2: that a lot of people around the league are asking.
Speaker 2: I mean, and b to someone that you've covered closely
Speaker 2: as well, you know, certain what he told Maverick Carter,
Speaker 2: I mean that was, you know, generated its own slew
Speaker 2: of headlines, and understandably so when a player of Embiid's
Speaker 2: stature even hints that he might not be in Philly
Speaker 2: for life. But certainly, in my dealings with Joel over
Speaker 2: the years, I mean, my vibe has always been that
Speaker 2: he greatly values what he's built with the Sixers. I
Speaker 2: do think he really wants to win there and break
Speaker 2: through there and not have to go somewhere else. I
Speaker 2: guess I'm not being the super fairest to you today
Speaker 2: in your sweltering abode with no air conditioning by asking
Speaker 2: you to jump in the head of all these guys.
Speaker 2: But what have you made of the whole embiid talk
Speaker 2: surrounding kind of this embid story that has, you know,
Speaker 2: developed out of the Harden story.
Speaker 3: I remember stunt.
Speaker 4: I think I might have told you before m B
Speaker 4: spoke with Rachel Nichols. I believe it was doing it
Speaker 4: was doing Summer League, and he told her that he
Speaker 4: was he wished James Harden mistake and he's trying to
Speaker 4: convince him. I spoke with him over the phone. You
Speaker 4: know it was a private call. Then you know I
Speaker 4: spoke with him on the phone. Believe I told you,
Speaker 4: and he told me that you know, I'm trying to
Speaker 4: get him to stay. He was like, we're just better
Speaker 4: with him than without him. And he doesn't he doesn't
Speaker 4: think that they will. He will, they will be able
Speaker 4: to get equal value in return going into next season
Speaker 4: because we know Joel e Bean is trying to win now,
Speaker 4: trying to win now and so that was you know
Speaker 4: that that was between us, but he since said it
Speaker 4: publicly now and so I feel like it's okay to
Speaker 4: reveal that.
Speaker 3: But he said it.
Speaker 4: He said he was trolling when he made the made
Speaker 4: those remarks to Math. But in the trolling, I do
Speaker 4: believe there is some light that's being shed a little bit,
Speaker 4: like he's finally like kind of cracking the door open
Speaker 4: to the possibility of leaving, which would only add probably
Speaker 4: a little bit more urgency to the front office to
Speaker 4: make sure they get to make sure they're on their toes,
Speaker 4: making sure they're doing everything that they can to keep
Speaker 4: a winning roster around him, because Jordan bid has went
Speaker 4: through a bunch of different changes throughout his tenure there
Speaker 4: in Philly, a bunch of different marquee players have come
Speaker 4: and gone, So you know, it was only it's only
Speaker 4: right to kind of look at him to see as
Speaker 4: he that next superstar Domino to request the trade. So
Speaker 4: even though he said he's troller, I think that he's
Speaker 4: opening up a little bit of a window into what
Speaker 4: the future may bring if things don't change.
Speaker 2: A lot of pressure on the Sixers right now, lots
Speaker 2: of pressure they've got to resolve the hard situation. As
Speaker 2: you say, keeping Joel Embiid happy is priority number one.
Speaker 2: They've made a coaching change, how dramatic a change that
Speaker 2: will be in the team's on court fortunes. Can Nick
Speaker 2: Nurse bring in a new approach that drastically changes the
Speaker 2: playoff output of a sixer team and a franchise that
Speaker 2: has not gotten past the second round since two thousand
Speaker 2: and one, since the days of Alan Iverson. We said
Speaker 2: it a lot last season, and we're going to be
Speaker 2: saying it a lot more this coming season. Philly is
Speaker 2: under the microscope in a huge, huge, huge way, not
Speaker 2: just with Harden, but now ensuring that Joel Embiid wants
Speaker 2: to stay there and complete the process. We move now
Speaker 2: to the third name of the three, the trio that
Speaker 2: we're monitoring here on Trade Watch. Okay, maybe this isn't
Speaker 2: my smoothest transition, but bear with us. Left my smoothness
Speaker 2: in Vegas, Pascal Siakam, You know, when I was talking
Speaker 2: to various teams at Summer League, some in some corners,
Speaker 2: I heard that the Damian Lillard situation would most likely
Speaker 2: have to play out before we got any clarity on
Speaker 2: a Siakam trade destination. And then I heard in some
Speaker 2: other corners that no, it could move independently of Damian Lillard.
Speaker 2: But I will put my hand up and say, I
Speaker 2: really don't know which of those forecasts is going to
Speaker 2: be proven correct. Really, it was just the most consistent
Speaker 2: messaging I got, and I was in Vegas on Trade
Speaker 2: Talk Matters, was you know, it's not just a two
Speaker 2: all star situation. Damian Lillard, yes, James Harden, yes, but
Speaker 2: just make sure that we include Pascal Siakam in his
Speaker 2: future in our forecast. Now, Look, Toronto is so unpredictable.
Speaker 2: I think there are also well placed observers around the
Speaker 2: league who will not be surprised if the Raptors decide
Speaker 2: to keep Siakam. But I will just say me personally now,
Speaker 2: speaking purely for myself, I came away with the impression
Speaker 2: from my various discussions in Vegas that the Raptors do
Speaker 2: want to make at least one more move of significance
Speaker 2: before training camp starts. And I don't think there's any
Speaker 2: shortage of interest in Pascal Siakam. You and I both
Speaker 2: have been talking for ages now about Atlanta's interest. That
Speaker 2: goes back to before the draft the Hawks really like
Speaker 2: the idea of Siakam, but haven't been able to construct
Speaker 2: a trade that Toronto has wanted to partake in. During
Speaker 2: Summer League, both Indiana and Orlando emerged as possible destinations.
Speaker 2: But look, this is a very unique situation because, like
Speaker 2: James Harden, Pascal Siakam is only under contract for one
Speaker 2: more season roughly thirty seven to thirty eight million. The
Speaker 2: better half of this podcast, Chris Haynes reported right at
Speaker 2: the draft that you know, Pascal Siakam is not going
Speaker 2: to just re sign with anyone who trades for him.
Speaker 2: To this point, Siakam has expressed that he would like
Speaker 2: to stay in Toronto. He's not looking to force his
Speaker 2: way out of Toronto. So for anyone that trades for
Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam, the question you have to ask answer for
Speaker 2: yourself is how much are you willing to put on
Speaker 2: the table for a guy who has only one year
Speaker 2: left on his deal and might not re sign with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the fear, And I think maybe that's
Speaker 3: the hang up as well.
Speaker 4: Why this is taken so long is because teams don't
Speaker 4: feel like they can put their best offers on the
Speaker 4: table because you know, I reported you reported that, you know,
Speaker 4: there is a there's a good amount of teams that
Speaker 4: he would not do an extension with and so essentially
Speaker 4: that will be a one year rental and teams that
Speaker 4: want to fork out all of their assets or present
Speaker 4: their best offers for a one year rental player, even
Speaker 4: to the caliber of Pascal. So you know, it's a
Speaker 4: tough situation that Toronto Raptors find themselves in. I can
Speaker 4: definitely see Pascal remaining a member of the Raptors, but
Speaker 4: there's there's still a lot of smoke.
Speaker 3: There's still some teams that's.
Speaker 4: Still making calls to try to see if anything can
Speaker 4: be done.
Speaker 3: But I think we have to look at where we're
Speaker 3: at in the off season.
Speaker 4: You know, as it pertains to Atlanta, that's been a
Speaker 4: team that's been primarily linked to Pascal for for a while.
Speaker 4: And you know before when there was talks going on,
Speaker 4: John Collins was a part of some of those talks.
Speaker 3: You know, he's since been been traded.
Speaker 4: Does does does Atlanta have anything Toronto will want at
Speaker 4: this stage? So there does Like if you're asking me
Speaker 4: right now, Stein, do I think he's traded before the
Speaker 4: season or if he's still a member of the Raptors
Speaker 4: as of right now, I would lean towards saying I
Speaker 4: think he would will remain a member of the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 2: And look, I guess the way I approach this is again,
Speaker 2: you know, last season, last off season is still so
Speaker 2: fresh in the memory that that Donovan Mitchell trade materialized
Speaker 2: in September, So there is still time. We're nearing the
Speaker 2: end of July, but you know, there's still lots of
Speaker 2: time before training camp. And look with Toronto there, you know,
Speaker 2: I wrote this in my last Around the League notebook,
Speaker 2: there is an inherent skepticism attached to the Raptors now
Speaker 2: about what they want to do on the trade front
Speaker 2: because of what just happened at the last trade deadline.
Speaker 2: All of these guys are almost all of them were
Speaker 2: mentioned as potential trade candidates to some degree, Van Vliet,
Speaker 2: Gary Trent, Junior, Siakam and Ananobi less so, but you know,
Speaker 2: people still at least asked the questions and wondered, and
Speaker 2: in the end, Toronto didn't trade anyone and ended up
Speaker 2: making a trade to add win Now talent by bringing
Speaker 2: in Yakub Purdle from San Antonio. And they've since resigned
Speaker 2: Purtle to a four year deal in the eighty million range.
Speaker 2: So there is that skepticism out there that you know,
Speaker 2: does Toronto Is Toronto truly prepared to trade Siakam even
Speaker 2: after Van Vliet's departure. But it really, it really depends
Speaker 2: right now on who you ask, and you're gonna get
Speaker 2: a different forecast from almost anyone you hit up on
Speaker 2: this question. All right, friends, I really, I really have
Speaker 2: to cut this off now because you know, when Chris
Speaker 2: and I record these we have a special program reuse
Speaker 2: where we can see each other. Obviously you guys can't
Speaker 2: see us on this podcast, but you know, I'm just watching.
Speaker 2: I'm watching my friend suffer here. And look, the heat
Speaker 2: in Dallas has been absolutely miserable, miserable, like to the
Speaker 2: point where I'm just I'm throwing rackets around the house.
Speaker 2: It is so hot. But our air conditioning works. Poor
Speaker 2: Chris Haynes in Sacramento no air conditioning for I don't
Speaker 2: I've lost track of how many days it's been. But
Speaker 2: this was the case. This was the case before we
Speaker 2: did our Vegas pod and it is still the case.
Speaker 2: And if you could see mister Haynes right now, he
Speaker 2: is not happy with me how long this pod has taken.
Speaker 2: So we have to let him go America and uh
Speaker 2: and and reple replenish himself because this he's been he
Speaker 2: has been putting in the work in this pod.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what's time. I do it for
Speaker 3: our loyal listeners. Anything for my loyal listeners.
Speaker 2: Don That's why you are beloved. You are beloved. I hope,
Speaker 2: I hope nobody rebounds better after this thing drops than
Speaker 2: your air conditioning system. Wishing you all the best, All right,
Speaker 2: everyone that will do it for this edition of this
Speaker 2: league uncut, Stein and Haynes. We will be back with
Speaker 2: you guys soon, precisely when is still TBD. But with
Speaker 2: that three pronged trade watch, who knows who knows when
Speaker 2: something will happen that will demand some immediate reaction from
Speaker 2: your guys. And let's all wish some cooler, cooler, breezier
Speaker 2: times in Chris Haynes's life. Everybody, remember, please rate, review,
