1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Jasen Brunson is a nice piece to that puzzle. So 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens to him. And that's like me 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: and me and you got a group and then somebody 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: got solo. You know what I mean? Do you really 5 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: want to go solo and do a solo album? You 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: know what I mean with all the pressures of a 7 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: solo artist, especially if you're in a duo group with 8 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: the Michael Jackson. Yeah, I mean if you, if you, 9 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: if you're in a group with Michael Jackson, that's a 10 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: whole another world, bro, different group. You shout out, ray Jack. 11 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: That's my job. Too many backwoods being smoked in the downtime. 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back to What's Burning. Season is coming to an end. 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: I like to welcome my big bro, Gilanni McCoy. Jack 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: got stuck in Chicago and Old Block last night, so 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: he has some flight issues. So we have to catch 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: Jack next week. Man. But let's get right into it, 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: Jilanni draft this weekend. Twenty two players, when it's all 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: said and done, from the Allen Iverson class sick were 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: either drafted or signed two way deals free agent deals. 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean twenty two players. How many players were there total? 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: I mean that seems like the whole everyone there got 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: drafted or picked up. Okay, I think that's that's close 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: close to it. Somebody was either on the way on 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: the way to draft it or or the next upsode. 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: That's a hats off to that class into the AI 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: Classic and everybody involved. Bo j coaches, you know, they 27 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: were there, d Miles, Bonds, and a lot of former 28 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: players were there. So it says a lot about that 29 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: coaching staff in that All American game too. You know, 30 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: for a couple of months removing those guys are you know, 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: top one and two in the draft and a couple 32 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: of the filter out to the first round. So that's 33 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: no joke, really, big man happy for a I saw 34 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: he made a post yesterday. But I love that this 35 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: game just continues to grow and grow. Hope to have 36 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: no more next year. Any surprises, I was one of 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: the rare people who went out on the limb and 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: took Polo number one. Orlando did the same, Chet went 39 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: number two, Jabari went number three. Was it a surprise 40 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: to you or do you think anything kind of panned out? 41 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, you couldn't really go wrong with the number 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: one pick this year. I think everything I think you 43 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: could you could have went wrong, you know what I mean, 44 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: considering Polo is the SEXI get picked, considering you know 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: what I mean, his measurable is and what he's gonna 46 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: look like in the workout. I've seen Jabari in person, 47 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: but I'm not surprised on how the how those picks 48 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: checked up. Chat is a unicorn that probably got to 49 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: figure out a position for him. But whether that be 50 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: center or three, whatever it is, he can really move 51 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: as a big player. And Jabari from you know, from 52 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: from wear it out on the street, from everybody we 53 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: know is you know, it's been a pro for a 54 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: long time. It's gonna peek at the right time. So 55 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: no surprises. But I will say that you know, it 56 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: wasn't hand picked. The polo was gonna be number one, 57 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: so it was good him to shake it up a 58 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, shout out to Polo Man. The number 59 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: four picked, the Sacramento Kings chose to go with Keegan Murray. 60 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: They felt that obviously his size and shooting ability and 61 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: scoring ability better fit their team, which left Jaden Ivy 62 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: that produced stand out to get drafted number five by Detroit. 63 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: As someone who's from Sacramento and works for the team, 64 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: And I'm really hoping this Keegan Murray pick pans out. 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we all know what happened with Marvin 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Bagley and Luca. The one thing I said going into 67 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: this draft is I hope the Kings don't look back 68 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: in two years and be like, damn Jade and Ivy 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: is terrorizing the NBA and we had a chance to 70 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: take him, as we had a chance to take Luca 71 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: and it didn't happen. So I'm really hoping that Keegan 72 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: Murray pans out. Real big body, nice score on both end, 73 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: are on the offensive end, um, So I'm really hoping 74 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: that really pans out for the Kings. On a selfish note, 75 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: you and fan base, I think they're like one picked 76 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: away from, you know, the eventual NBA Messiah. They always 77 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: missing my month pick or something like whatever that is. 78 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: So I think you and the King's fan base are 79 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: are really counting on this kid being good, and I 80 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: hope that he is for the fan base and the kids. Well, 81 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: I say absolutely, I asolutely. Man free agency starts next 82 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: week June, a lot of big names can possibly be 83 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: on the move, obviously, starting with Kyrie Irving. He was 84 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: at the BT s ward yesterday and and and one 85 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: of the questions was do you want to remain in Brooklyn? 86 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: And he passed the question too. I think his publicists, 87 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure who the lady was standing next to him. 88 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: Let's touch on him first. Uh, he's asked for permission 89 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: to find a sign and trade. He's made a list 90 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: of teams that he's interested in, which are the Lakers, MAVs, Knicks, Heats, 91 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: and Clippers. Before we get there, what are you just 92 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: your thoughts on how loyal Kevin Durant has been to 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: him and held him down and now it it really 94 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: looks like Kyrie is is up and on the move. 95 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: So let's talk about that kind of loyalty that k 96 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: D gave him and now it looks to be that 97 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: Kyrie could possibly be on the move. Man, I haven't 98 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: seen this type of loyalty in the league in a 99 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: long time. And to that coupled with the type of 100 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: leverage that the players have now todays, I mean they 101 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: might to really have a bond together, you know, Unlike 102 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe you and Jack will probably try 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: to get something like this often the league. You know 104 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: what I mean if you had the leverage nowadays. But 105 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: I haven't seen any loyalty betweens, brothers, you know what 106 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: I mean, like this in a long time. But at 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: the same time, where does that loyalty get k D 108 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: you know nowhere at the end of the day. That's 109 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: a tough situation. He's been the face of you know, 110 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: vaccines or to not vaccine, you know, to play or 111 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: not to play. He's typically said that he isn't gonna 112 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: force anybody to do anything. But at the same time, 113 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: I believe if that was me or you, you're Jack 114 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: me or Jack whatever two brothers are. If we're coming 115 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: there at one location with the with the anticipation of 116 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: winning the title and you know, bringing that franchise back 117 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: to uh To, to relevance, and you just kind of 118 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: did you know what I mean, And you're not really 119 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: playing You're playing twenty games here, thirty games here, you 120 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean, all types of other stuff going 121 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: off the court. As talented as he is, that's gotta 122 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: where on your brother I know sometimes you were on 123 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: our brothers, you know. Yeah, the loyalty and friendship. So 124 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: I just you know, Katie can only take so much 125 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: at the end of the day. From what we're seeing, 126 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, there's only so much of hum, drum and 127 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: bullshit that he puts up with off the court. You know, 128 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: he really just want to hoop. So I think it's 129 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: I feel like it's getting away from hoop and the 130 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: more it's off court stuff, which really isn't his bag. 131 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see just how loyal, you know, 132 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: how tight the friendship is. I mean to me, it's 133 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting situation. We all know when Kyrie wants 134 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: to play, he's one of the best in the business. Um, 135 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of things, even outside of the 136 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: vaccine that's kind of helped him off the court, and 137 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: and and kind of being that sidekick that we all 138 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: thought when this team initially came together. Man, Katie and 139 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Kyrie two are the best to ever do it. This 140 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: is gonna be a problem. And the fact that three 141 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: years later we're looking at nothing, you know what I mean, 142 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: that they really didn't get a chance to accomplish nothing. Katie, 143 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: you know, did everything he could do to get his 144 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: teams where they needed to be. He just didn't have 145 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: enough help, you know. So for Katie to be that 146 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: loyal and that down. I just really wonder what he's 147 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: thinking at this time, because you know, all signs are pointed. 148 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: You know, Kyrie wants to move on to Green their pastors, 149 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not even mad at I mean, that's it's 150 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: your career, bro, do what you want to do. And 151 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: we know if he's locked in, he's going to make 152 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: any of those teams I think outside of the Knicks 153 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: um a possible NBA contender. They put a lot on 154 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: the line too. That's a c l S coming back quit, 155 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean from PCLS M c L. 156 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: He don't have every cl in the world left left 157 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: Golden State where who knows how many rings that that 158 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: that team? You know, they possibly could have two more 159 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: rings on their hands. So it's just that, Yeah, Katie 160 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: gave up a lot to make this work. So it'll 161 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: be interesting to see, obviously, if Kybrie moves on what 162 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: Katie decides to do. You saw Dame Lillard tweeted something 163 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 1: the other day with Katie uh in the Blazer's uniform, 164 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: so that'll be another frenzy. I'm sure the league is 165 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: really pushing towards Kyrie leaving because some teams really feel 166 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: like they have a chance to possibly scoop Kyrie. So 167 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: this will be interesting to follow, you know, ship it's 168 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: going to be that that that that reality show through 169 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: the summer to me would continue to b A B global. 170 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Is that their storylines like this throughout the summer where 171 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: these superstars are gonna land. So next up Bradley Beale, 172 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: someone who's been a Wizard his entire career, where it 173 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: is that he's gonna opt out of his final year 174 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: and possibly signed a max two hundred fifty million dollar deal. 175 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: Is this to secure the bag and then try to 176 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: get a trade down the line, or do you really 177 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: think he wants to be in d c um you know, 178 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: possibly the remainder of his career. I kind of feel 179 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: like if he wanted to shake, he would have should 180 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: He's had it, you know, he's had them by the 181 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: cohonists for a couple of for for a couple of years. Now. 182 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: That's where you know, player movement and what he wants 183 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: to do. I hope he does to care the bag, 184 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and get as much money 185 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: as he can and then face the trade, get a trade. 186 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: I think the Wizards owe him that for their loyalty. 187 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they send him out the door without 188 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, paying that mind his money, you know what 189 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean, as as he deserves. I don't think they 190 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: surrounded him with enough. They've done some pretty cool moves, 191 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: you know, long term. But Bradley Bill, although a young player, 192 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: I feel like he feel like he's been playing in 193 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: the league like fifteen years already, like you know what 194 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: I mean, deep into the playoffs and had any memory playoffs, 195 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: but it reels eight years old, so he had I mean, 196 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: he's been in here for a minute. It's been a minute, 197 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: but I feel like he's like thirty three almost because 198 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: of because of the meaningless basketball, you know what I mean, 199 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: deep running the playoffs. I understand the bag, but he 200 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: probably get a bag somewhere else off the court to 201 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: maybe make up the ten and twelve that he's making 202 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: that say, just don't put it in crypto. You know 203 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: what I mean that he should be strict. Yeah, I 204 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: mean he's tough. I mean, to me, he's one of 205 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: the best two way players in the game. Can definitely 206 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: get the money anywhere he decides to go. Respect and 207 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: understand the loyalty, but you know, then you put him 208 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: in you know, you look at him Dame in similar 209 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: situations where you know, how far does loyalty get you? 210 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: These days? You know, how far does it? You know? 211 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: And and if if these guys are content on being 212 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: great players who just never really had enough around them, um, 213 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: you know that that will be their narrative. But I 214 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: also feel like, you know, these two great players could 215 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: have a chance to go somewhere and really you know, 216 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: get what they deserve, you know, all the hard work 217 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: they put in their entire career, UH to have an 218 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: opportunity to play for something meaningful. So we'll keep an 219 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: eye on Bradley Beale excited that he's gonna get as 220 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: much money as he possibly can, and we'll see what 221 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: happens after that. You know. Some of we got a 222 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: chance to work with in the pre draft situation, UH 223 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: and really came out and made a name for himself 224 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: this year was Jalen Brunson, probably one of the most 225 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: solid young player old souls there is in this game. 226 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: Really was the sidekick to Luca, and I think surpassed 227 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: all expectations as a team and as an individual UM 228 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: for what they were able to do UH this year. 229 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: First of all, Dallas had a chance to sign him 230 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: to fifty million dollar extension last summer and passed on that. 231 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: And now the bag has doubled. As you know, the 232 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: New York Knicks signed his dad to be an assistant coach, 233 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: and there's numbers out there floating around right now that 234 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: they may be interested in giving him a four year, 235 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar deal. Does he take that or 236 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: does he see what Luca and the Matticks are gonna offer. 237 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: This is gonna be interesting because how much of what 238 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: Jay Lou Bronson has done this year it's been predicated 239 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: off playing with Luca or having Luca on the court 240 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: at the same time. You know, there's a lot of 241 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: one on month matchups to kid, a lot of mismatches 242 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: on the wing. You know, Lucas on the post, He's 243 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: kicking it from the post to the wing. He's done 244 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: a lot with this game. But going to the Knicks, 245 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: you know that comes with you know you're gonna get 246 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: that hunting, that hunting, but you know that comes with 247 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: a lot. Has eregged the Knick with Pops over there 248 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: on the sideline, you know what I mean, Mark Shades 249 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: and Mark Jackson is everybody I mean That's one thing 250 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: you talked about during the pre draft of how his 251 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: game reminded us of Mark Jackson at the time because 252 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: of the ability to play out of the post and 253 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: to post up. He's been posting up bigger dudes too, 254 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: So you can't even say smaller guards because that's why 255 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: I post up and get some shipped off. So, um, 256 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see if, you know, I don't 257 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: like if maybe look, I don't want them to leave. 258 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Maybe Luca makes a call and tell them to go 259 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: deep into the luxury back because he needs that security 260 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: blanker that is jack Lyn Bronson. I don't think this 261 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: story is over yet. That four years a hundred sounds 262 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: very good and very teasing. But like I said, you know, 263 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: with that four years one hundred million, that means in 264 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: New York, you know what I mean, you can go 265 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: into New York to you know Bury, like steff On, 266 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: a lot of point guards went out there to get 267 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: buried Kimba most recently to Farm Marbury's Francis our homeboy 268 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: b d. You know what I mean. How do you 269 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: know although he had a horrific injury, you know what 270 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he was kind of a tough spot for 271 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: point guards, especially when you're coming there asking for the coins. 272 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: So you gotta you know, he really gotta way the 273 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: scales out to pros and cons. Now, I think you 274 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 1: hit it perfectly. That's a graveyard for point guards. You 275 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: just listed a whole lot of guys that had a 276 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: whole lot of game that went there. And again, the 277 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: money is beautiful, but the expectation, the media, everything surrounding basketball, 278 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: the actual you know, product that you put on the court. 279 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: And I think you also made another good point is 280 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: I kind of compared to receivers, you know when that 281 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: that you know, when you're the number two receiver and 282 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: you have those big years with a bunch of yards 283 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: and make the Pro Bowl and then you know, the 284 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: number one guy gets traded and then you slide into 285 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: that number one spot. You know, that's kind of like 286 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: Jayden Bruns. His name is gonna be a lot higher 287 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: on the scatting report now, he's probably gonna have the 288 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: best wing defender on him, and like you said, with 289 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: that Luca next to him, you know, that's gonna have 290 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: a lot of added pressure. So I would love to 291 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: see him possibly stick it out. You know, I think 292 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: teams aren't necessarily afraid to go in the luxury taxing more. 293 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: You saw what Golden State did and they were able 294 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: to win a championship by doing it. So I think 295 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: he was very definitely a key piece to to the 296 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: mass success. And I still feel like they're a piece away, 297 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: but Jalen Brunson is a nice piece to that puzzle. 298 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens to him, all right. But 299 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: that's like being part of the duo. That's like me 300 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: and me and you got a group and then somebody 301 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: got solo. You know what I I mean? Do you really 302 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: want to go solo and do a solo album? You 303 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean, with all the pressures of a 304 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: solo artist, although you got to split the bag up 305 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: of the duo exclaiming with the due you know what 306 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's so old that solo album, it's a 307 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: whole another yeal. That's basically what he would be doing. 308 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: To your point, especially if you're in a duo group 309 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: with the Michael Jackson. Yeah, I mean if you, if you, 310 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: if you're in a group with Michael Jackson and then 311 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: you want to go on a solo that's a whole 312 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: another world, bro. So We'll have to see the group. 313 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: You know, you shout out Rady Jack, that's my job, 314 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. R and B took they 315 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: took a lump, take a tough one. Too many backwoods 316 00:14:47,640 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: being smoked in the downtime. Some other guys could possibly 317 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: be on the move. Malcolm Brogden could possibly be out 318 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: of Indiana, and I think he would be a quality pick. 319 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: I'd love to see him, and I don't know if 320 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: the numbers would ever work out, but I'd love to 321 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: see him in Boston. I think he would be a 322 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: great pick up for Boston. Rudy Gobert unhappiness over there, 323 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: and you could probably put Donovan Mitchell in that group 324 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: as well. The Spurs are not shy about saying they're 325 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: shopping Johnte Murray, who's coming off his first All Star appearance. 326 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: Man lives right around a triple double, so he'll be 327 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: very sought after. And then John Collins, although he didn't 328 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: get traded, he said he's done with the rumors in 329 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: the bullshit. He is not playing in Atlanta anymore. So 330 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: a lot of young talented players will be on the 331 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: move this offseason, looking to make their next stop. Their 332 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: best stop. Next up on the radar, presented you by 333 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: Draft Kings, you know, this gambling ship. They already got 334 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: odds on favor to win Rookie of the Year. So 335 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: let's take a look. First up, Polo the number one 336 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: pick at a plus three hundred to win Rookie of 337 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: the Year. Second is Jabari Smith at a plus three fifty. 338 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: Jade and Ivy slides into that third spot at a 339 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: plus four seventy five, tied with d Homegrint at four 340 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: seventy five, and the round out the top five Keegan 341 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: Murray at a plus nine hundred. So obviously this is 342 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: all guesswork. You can never really tell who is what 343 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: until they actually get out there and play. But again, 344 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: this is a very talented top five and and definitely 345 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing what these young players can do 346 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: this upcoming season. Yeah, very talented top five. Looking to 347 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: see what they're gonna do, you know, as their career 348 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: moves on. But I heard a lot of people say 349 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: there's no this person, there's no Zion, there's no there's 350 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: no Janice, there's no generational talent, you know, in this group. 351 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: But I think this is an interesting group because the 352 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: way the game is set up now that with all 353 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: the feet of movement in the space and in the pace, 354 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: I think this group has has a lot of group unique, 355 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: big skill sets, a lot of big guys with talent 356 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: that are gonna be playing out on the floor, a 357 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: lot of wings that are physical and they're gonna be banging, 358 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, playing inside, you know, whether that mean driving 359 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: to the basket or being able to post out. I 360 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: see a lot of versatility in his draft and how 361 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: the way the game is played now. I'm interested to 362 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: see a way a lot of these young players paying 363 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: out a lot of lineage in this draft as well, 364 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Griffin. You know, somebody's dad 365 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: is not too removed from either playing overseas or in 366 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: the NBA. So I'm seeing a lot more of that happening. 367 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: So it'll it'll be good to see the way this 368 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: pans out. Yeah, I mean, this new wave of basketball 369 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: is completely too me geared upon skill set and and 370 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: these guys are very skilled. It's not necessarily that's why 371 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: people some people hesitated on chat. I was like, yeah, 372 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: this is twenty years ago. You might look at his 373 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: frame and be like, I don't know, but this is 374 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: a completely different game. That and his skill set you know, 375 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: for his size is we we there's been very few 376 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: players that have you know, attained that kind of skill set. 377 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: So again, like you said, the space, the pace, the 378 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: freedom of movement. Um, I'm looking forward to this draft 379 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: class coming out here and showing the ass. Yeah, for sure, 380 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here to play chadis center either. No, 381 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: not at all, but I mean, like you mean, just 382 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: it's to me he can play anywhere on the floor. 383 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: In closing, two Hall of Famers had their sons picked 384 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: up by the Lakers, Shrief O'Neill and Scottie Pippen Jr. 385 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: Scotti Pippen was signed to a two way deal. Shariff 386 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: was invited to summer league thoughts on you know, these 387 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: are these are big shoes to feel, you know, arguably 388 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: one of the greatest wing defenders we've ever seen and 389 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: be most dominant big man we've ever seen in it 390 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: and and it's it's been you know publicly said. You know, 391 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: Shaq wasn't too high on his son going into the draft. 392 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: He thought he should have went back to school. Sharif 393 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: said he's old enough to make his own decisions. Unfortunately, 394 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: didn't get drafted, but now has an opportunity to you know, 395 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: playing this laquer summer league and kind of show the 396 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: league what he has thoughts on both these players and 397 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: that there their chances moving forward different roads. But you 398 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: never know. I spoke about the lineage the gene Pool earlier, 399 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: and that's I mean, these are two Hall of Fame 400 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: players that we're talking about, but these kids have been 401 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: dealing with this pretty much since they picked up a basketball. 402 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: You know. I'm like, I'm sitting at the camp right now, 403 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: my my old high school, which my son is nervous 404 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: to go to just because it's my old high school, 405 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I know you got 406 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: the Twins, you know, I think you talked about vacations 407 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: about when it happened to the twins when they experienced pressure, 408 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: But these kids have been dealing with that for a 409 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: long time. Sierra Canyon, they got Sieric Canyon. There's been 410 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: no stranger to top of matched high school California basketball. Um, 411 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: I think it's something that I think it's hats off 412 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: to the Lakers, you know what I mean that the 413 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: lineage seems to be working. The gene Pool thing seems 414 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: to be working. I like Sharif you know, being a 415 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: vanguard to go standing out on his own too. Despite 416 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: what dad, thanks and I appreciate the Lakers as the 417 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: family organization on trying to make sure that dream could 418 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: come to you know, uh, it's come to fruition. But 419 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen Jr. Is you're probably looking at two proud 420 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: das man you know what I mean. Scotti Junior, Shaquille O'Neil, 421 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: both championship players, championship pedigree. These kids are probably no 422 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: stranger to hard work. Si spend through a lot after 423 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: his open heart surgery. They didn't you want to play? 424 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: I know he hasn't got a chance to play and 425 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: catch his footing in college because of injuries. But we've 426 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: seen guys average three five points in college, you know, 427 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: get drafted in the second round and average like ten 428 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: in the league. You know what I mean. So again, 429 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: spacing a lot of a lot of room for player 430 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: movement on the court right now, extra possessions, premium all 431 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: highly skilled players. These kids have been highly skilled for 432 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: a long time. As a as a guy who's bringing 433 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: up to young highly skilled youngsters, you know what I mean? 434 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: How do you feel about this situation. Well, one day, 435 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: you know, Carter, and I said, I'm I make a 436 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: decision that you might not like, or they might have 437 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: to take a different road to get to the league. 438 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: How does it? How does this make well? I mean, 439 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: first of all, for these two players, and I wish 440 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: them nothing but the best. I couldn't imagine what it 441 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: would be like, you know, playing up under Shack and 442 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: playing up under pit, and for Brawny playing up under Braun. 443 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean that ship has got to be tough. As 444 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: a father of two kids, and hopefully I get put 445 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: in this position, you know, I just want to make 446 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: sure they were aligned and on the same page, and 447 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: and and it leads me to what I was gonna say, 448 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: is so many and I'm not even talking about these 449 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: two kids have would take it. I'm just talking about 450 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: in general, so many kids are giving bad information. If 451 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: you think about it, there's only sixty draft spots. And 452 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: every year there's over three d fifty kids that enter 453 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: the draft, give or take sometimes even more, you know, 454 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: so so you've got to think there's three fifty kids 455 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: fighting for sixty spots. And then that's not even taken 456 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: into account. The European flavor that is, you know that 457 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: that has kind of had a wave over the NBA. 458 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: So they're gonna take you know anywhere from ten to 459 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: fifteen to maybe even twenty players. Yeah, you know from 460 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: that that from overseas, you know what I mean. So 461 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: that's cutting it down to forty or forty five spots 462 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: for three d plus people. So I just wish these kids, 463 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: you know, had more people in their ear that really 464 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 1: knew what the fuss was going on, and not just 465 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: people that see possibly dollar signs or opportunities, but really 466 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: cared about these kids future because to me, everything it's 467 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: the same thing, and it will never stop. Every single 468 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: year there's gonna be over three hundred people in the 469 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: draft fighting for sixty positions, knowing that your odds aren't 470 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: very good. So I don't know, uh, As a father, 471 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking forward to this journey, and you know, 472 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: if the twins are fortunate enough to be put in 473 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: that position, you know, hopefully we can make a family 474 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: decision on what is best for them. But at the 475 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: end of the day, you know, if they're old enough 476 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: and they feel like they know more than me, I'm 477 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to step back because it again it is there, 478 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, careers, so again, I you know, I definitely, 479 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, salute sharif. You know, even though he didn't 480 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: listen to his dad. And you know, sometimes dad knows 481 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: the best. Sometimes dad doesn't know best. But you know, 482 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: he took a leap of a and now he's gonna 483 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: have to prove itself. But with an organization that has 484 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: a lot of love and a lot of lineage in 485 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: history with the family. So you know, best to luck 486 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: to these two youngsters. And you know, I hope, I 487 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: hope to see if they can, you know, wear that 488 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: real uniform one day. I think they're gonna make it. Man, 489 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be all right. Remember you're not just auditioning. 490 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: I would say one thing as a word to advice 491 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: for these two youngsters. Remember you're not just auditioning for 492 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: the Lakers. You know, be in summer league. There's other 493 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: roster spots. You can have a good showing with the Lakers, 494 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: end up on somebody else's training camp. Set yourself for 495 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: a bag up in Barcelona the drid A drift. Make 496 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: you a couple hundred thousand, come back and play in 497 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: the G League. You know, whatever it is.
