WEBVTT - Got A Question For Ya

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Question, can I can? I got a question by My

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>name is Trista Creek, and I have.

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Today.

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I have questions about Darryl Moury. Why won't Daryl Moury

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>just move Ben Simmons, I've got thoughts I do. I've

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>been thinking about this a long time now. There's a

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:48.599
<v Speaker 1>lot of speculations like why won't Darryl Mory just move on?

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't want to be there, Ben, He's never wanted

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to be there ever since this playoff debacle where he

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>threw him under the bus, like he said, he's never

0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>playing for you again.

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>He won't even show up, and you.

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Just consistently think his price and his value is higher

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>than everybody else thinks it is. It's like, why won't

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Darryl Moury face what everyone is feels is so obvious, right,

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Like I just don't understand it, even with Joel m

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Bead's prime prime being wasted, right like Joel Embid's playing

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the best basketball we've ever seen like from him specifically,

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>he's been the best player in the last three weeks

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA, and he's on the worst rebounding team.

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>As we've talked about, he's on the worst defending team

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA, like everything has gone to shit around him,

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and they need that player that's missing. They need somebody

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>back for Ben. And they've turned down Darren Fox. They've

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>turned down shooters like Buddy Healed. They've turned down shot

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.279
<v Speaker 1>creators like CJ.

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>McCollum.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>They've turned down guys in the front court that can

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>help Joel Embiid like Demana Sibonis, guys like Miles Turner.

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>They've turned down goddamn everyone, etc. Etcetera, etcetera. Daryl Mourray,

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll hold him on for years.

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll let him rot.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what he said. I'll just let him rod as

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>long as it takes. My asking price will not change. No,

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like, Darryl, you're not being logical. Why won't you

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>be logical? Like, I just do not get it. And

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>people are like, who you know, Joe El Embiid and

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Daryl moriy are aligned.

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, why are they aligned? I don't know.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Daryl Moury has always gotten close to the stars on

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>his team, and that's actually what made the wheels in

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>my head.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Start to turn. Huh.

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Now we're getting reports that James Harden is open to

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>other destinations other than Brooklyn. There were reports a year

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>ago when James Harden was traded to Brooklyn, then his

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.959
<v Speaker 1>number one choice was Philly. There are reports that James

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Harden doesn't exactly love Sean Marks, doesn't exactly love Joe Saie,

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>would rather be with a guy who he feels is

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>his guy, Daryl Mourray.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>H So this is what I think is happening.

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Darryl Mourray is waiting and wishing and hoping

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and putting all of his capital like was this James

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Jack Jack Johnson wishing and hoping things like that.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>He's wishing and.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Hoping and praying and putting all of his little eggs

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>in the basket, all of his ten million dollar eggs

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>in one basket.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>In that basket is a man in the baby.

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Blue fat suit, and he's hoping that he can get James.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>And I think he and James are talking. I think

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>he and James.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Feel some sort of connection because Mike D'Antoni turned James

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Harden into the.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>MVP of the league.

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>He was a six man and then he became an MVP,

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and James hasn't been the same since that. All that

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>combo has gone together. But Darryl Moriy didn't fucking turn

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>James the MVP. Mike d'An tony turned James Harden in

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the MVP.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>D'antony's not there. Doc Rivers is not gonna do that.

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>We know that.

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I think what's happening is Daryl Moury

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>is trying to save face. Daryl Moury is letting his

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>emotions get to him, and the emotions for him are revenge.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Emotions are feeling that he was one hundred percent correct

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and wanting Ben gone from the beginning, because let's be honest,

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>as soon as Darryl Mory stepped foot in Philadelphia, he

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 1>was trying to move Ben.

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Simmons for James Harden.

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what was That was his plan all along. And

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>because he was Hong Kong, Darryl right, Hong Kong, Darryl soured,

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>the soured the roots of everything going on in Houston.

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>And then it just literally was like a ball of

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>shit rolling downhill, just getting faster and faster and faster

0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>about this squash somebody with equal matter, right, and then

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Houston exploded. You have a new owner that made his

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>living selling low priced seafood and Tillman Fertitta, who I

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>call Tillman Fortada, Tillman Fortada, Darryl Mory, Darryl Moury for

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 1>a very long time, and Houston just had like basically

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>what he has now, carte blanche, do whatever the fuck

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 1>he wants, pull the trigger, green light whenever, No, hey,

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>can I do this? No oversight, no organizational control, nothing.

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>And then Tillman Fortitda comes in with his little shrimp

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>fork and he's like, hey, can you run your thoughts

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and ideas by me? I own the team now. And

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Darryl Mory's like whoa, and then he goes off Hong

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Kong rogue and then shit goes to hell and hand

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>basket right. So that's how that relationship sours. Mike D'Antoni

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>gets fired. They bring in Russell Westbrook for no reason.

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Darryl Moriy goes to Philly, tries to get Ben out

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the door because he's not at all the player that

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>he wants at all. He wants Harden, and Tilman Furtada's like,

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>fuck you, I'm not trading you Ben Ben Simmons for

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>James Harden.

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.040
<v Speaker 2>No chance, I don't care. I'll take guys that are worse.

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know in that Nets trade, who's there

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>on the Houston Rockets right now, I don't think anyone.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Victor Oladipo and Tory and Prince.

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>You got guys going to Cleveland, like the trade don't

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>make no sense. You could have Ben Simmons and they

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>say no because that's how much they hate Darryl Moury

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>in Houston. So Darryl Mory's like, you know what, I'll

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>do it however I want. I'm gonna get my way.

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm the fucking man, so I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>hold Ben Simmons hostage, and I'm gonna get Harden.

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what I wanted to begin with.

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.359
<v Speaker 1>And you know it, what's the greatest fuck you to

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the Houston Rockets is if you still get Harden and

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to pay way less. If Harden ends up

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>a free agent and Harden says I got my ring

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>in Brooklyn or he doesn't, and I don't think I'm

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna and I want to play with Joe El Embiid

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and I want to play with my guy Daryl Moury.

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Who knows. They you just do a sign and trade.

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to give any picks, maybe one first

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>round pick you give Ben Simmons off, nets have to

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>take something they can't just maybe they get Tobias Harris.

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's a three team trade, who knows.

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>But if James Harden wants to go to Philly and

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>he's telling Daryl Moray that he wants to.

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Be in Philly, which we don't actually know if it's true.

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>But if that's the case, Daryl Moray is gonna wait

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>till this free agency offseason for Harden to say no,

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to try a new destination, and then it's

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>in their hands and then it's in their control. H

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>That's the only thing that makes this make sense. But

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>who knows if that's gonna even be the case, right

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And I promise you though, if he does not get

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I I am stamping my flag in this now. There's

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>no chance that Ben gets moved before the deadline, No

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>chance before February deadline, February whatever it is, nine, ten, fifteenth,

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, changes every year. No chance Ben Simmons

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>leaves this squad because that's what he's waiting for, right.

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>If he's waiting for Harden, then it's gonna be the

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>summer and maybe it's not the summer. Maybe it's February.

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Yikes.

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>And all I'll say is this ownership, the birdies have

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>told me today is already tiring of this. Because I've

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>heard what I've heard this from, like Jake Fisher at

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the Bleacher Report. I've heard other reporters say, listen, Darryl

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Moury has carte blanche.

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Darren Murray, I had carte blanche at Houston. He's not

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>there anymore.

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Phil Jackson, they said, Oh, Darrel Mourray has Phil Jackson treatment.

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Phil Jackson is no longer a New York Nick executive.

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Your rope as soon as thinks sour, and the league

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>turns on you, and nobody wants to do business with

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you anymore, and your reputation takes a hit because he's

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a fucking joke right now. Everybody's making fun of him.

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And if ownership decides like you're no longer worth that

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>ten million dollars and all that carte blanch and power,

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and Joel mb decides like, you know what this is not?

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>This is whack. I am no longer aligned. I need

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 2>somebody to play with. You're gone.

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think if Darryl Moorey does not get James Harden.

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it's a rap I.

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Think it's all. I think it's night night.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a random consultant job with some random

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>fledgling team, maybe in Canada, maybe somewhere, maybe in Hong Kong,

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>who knows. Because this guy Darryl has no logic. He

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>is operating entirely around emotion. And the problem with that,

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like my guy been getting really into Marvel, be getting

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>really into Marvel. My guy Jude law Yan rog and

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Captain Marvel said to Danvers, who's Captain Marvel?

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 2>He said, listen. Anger only serves the enemy.

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>And I promise you all of those other Eggs executives

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>right now are Daryl Morey's enemy. And every decision that

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>he makes based on emotion and not logic is just

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>digging a deeper and deeper hole that it's going to

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>be more and more difficult for him to.

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Get out of.

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>So he's got to learn, Darryl, you follow me on Twitter.

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>You gotta learn to control those emotions, baby boy. Because

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the tea leaves are speaking. Tea leaves are speaking to me,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and they're telling me the ownership is already sick and

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>tired of this bullshit because how could they not be,

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>How could they not be? You can go from genius

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like everybody in the league thinks you're a genius, to

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 1>an unemployed nuisance in a matter of that. So make

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that trade, Make that trade.
