65
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: my chill clothes, which will be less comfortable than my

66
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: work clothes. I'm doing it. I'll tell your formable Friday's

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: got me back into wanting to wear a jacket. I'm

68
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: looking at tailored clothing now.

69
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 3: Oh, excellent, the gate the boys are back.

70
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: It's working all right. We got lots to talk about

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 4: here on the show today, and we're gonna start with

72
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: some true or false true false questions. A lot of

73
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: these based off of the stuff that happened last night.

74
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: Only four games on in total, so we can probably

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: touch on all of them, but I want to start

76
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: with a sick play. Yeah, last night Tomarta Rosen, he

77
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: drove and he dished a one of a kind dime

78
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: to Kobe White for the corner three against the Bucks,

79
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: DeRozan uncorked a spinning over the shoulder assists that honestly

80
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: brought the Internet down and brought the Bulls bench to

81
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: their feet. So true or false? Demartin Rosen has the

82
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: assist of the year. Is that true or false?

83
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: So far, I think it's true. Leah can tend for

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: past of the year. It's too early to say this

85
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: is rondo esco though, Like when you're talking about all

86
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: time passes to the corner, there's some crazy rondo ones

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: where he's not even looking. That's what's crazy to me

88
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: about this one. DeRozan spins the other way and then

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: spins back mid air. I thought at first he was

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: going for a three sixty layup. Wouldn't have been a

91
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: huge surprise. I thought at second he was kicking it

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: to zach Lavine wide opening the left corner. Turns out

93
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: he saw Kobe White for the hook pass and he

94
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: knocked it down.

95
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

96
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's bigger than rondo. Here is that it's more

97
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: athletic than a rondo play because he's hanging in the

98
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: air and as you said, it's a cross body pass.

99
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: It would have been way easier to go to Saclos,

100
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: but he's a great pass. But he's got his back

101
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: to the rim. At thirty four years old, DeMar de

102
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Rosen's still ridiculously athletic. He's up there to pull up

103
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: a three sixty move. Look, yeah, I just kind of

104
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: appreciate the assist that this guy makes because, as Raptor fans,

105
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: when he was there, he wasn't an assist man for

106
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: several years. It just wasn't part of his game. Then

107
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: he goes to San Antonio and grows, and now with

108
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: the Bulls, he's still making pass he can he can

109
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: be five six assists a game. That was a ridiculous pass.

110
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 4: I think it's true. I think it's the assist of

111
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: the year so far. I mean still early, we're three

112
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: weeks in. The Only other one I think that's right

113
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 4: there with it is the Jokic pass yep to Aaron Gordon.

114
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 4: You know, from the inbounds like seventy feet away. It's

115
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: like such a different type of play. But this is

116
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: this is pretty crazy. It looks sick. I like that

117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: Kobe switched it too. Yes, just helped the highlight. You know,

118
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: no rattle home. Obviously you had to hit it or

119
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: we probably wouldn't be talking about it. But hell want to.

120
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: Play the only other contender I would have because I

121
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: think the Jokic is there for sure. I think I

122
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: remember Dennis Shrewder had some nice dimes like to Perle

123
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: in the lane. But did you see what Josh Hart

124
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: did last night to himself self assist. Yeah, jumps in

125
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: the air, throws it off, Drew Holidays back catches it

126
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: and then knocks down to three. I don't think he

127
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: got an assist in the box score, but I'm willing

128
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: to put that up there with DeRozan.

129
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: That was incredible.

130
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: Now it changes every night. You're totally right. I thought

131
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: when I saw it, of course it's a syst of

132
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: the year. But you're right, yokitch in there. Even the

133
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Lakers when they're dropping Reeves and D'Angel Russell dropping beautiful times.

134
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: It just happens every single night in the NBA.

135
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk a little bit about that game, or

136
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: off of that game. At least Giannis thirty five points

137
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: eleven boards. Bobby Portis also a double double in the

138
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: Bucks one to eighteen one oh nine victory over the Bulls.

139
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: Bulls were in a back to back situation, so excuses

140
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: and all that, but the loss drops them to four

141
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: and seven, and the trade rumors, excuse me, are heating up,

142
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 4: heating up in my throat. In fact, the athletics Darnell

143
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 4: Mayberry dropped an article over the weekend titled should the

144
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: Bulls trade Alex Caruso while they can? Or should Chicago

145
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 4: keep him?

146
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: So?

147
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: True or false? Let's start with the Bulls fan here.

148
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 4: Tru or false? The Bulls should trade Alex Carusoe for

149
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: what I would assume a first round pick and maybe

150
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 4: a young prospect. I guess the idea being they are

151
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 4: leaning into maybe a tank job or a blowing up

152
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: job or whatever you want to call it. But let's

153
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 4: say a first round pick in a young prospect something

154
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, I mean, I would be happy with

155
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: that if I'm the Bulls. But I'm also thinking it's

156
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: false because I don't think Caruso should be the first

157
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: player traded. Okay DeRozan number one on the list, he's

158
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: eligible for an extension. There's been no progress made on that,

159
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: and obviously the fit with Levine and Vuch has not

160
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: been very smooth. I think of the forty five to

161
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: three man rosters that the Bulls have used most often

162
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: this season, or three man lineups that the DeRozan, Levine

163
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: and Vouch.

164
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: Is forty fourth in net rating. That's their big three.

165
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: So I would have DeRozan first on the trade block,

166
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: then Levine second, and then I think you're probably looking

167
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: at a combination of either Vouch.

168
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: Or Caruso going third.

169
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: But the thing with Caruso is he's good to keep

170
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: around even if you're rebuilding, because he's a great culture guy,

171
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: he's great on defense, and he's great to keep around

172
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: because he's got another year left on his deal. And

173
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: half the league would be happy to have Alex Carusos

174
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: so they can take their time waiting out the offers here,

175
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 2: which is what I'm sure will happen. It won't happen

176
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: right away, but I looked at the fans Bow trade

177
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: machine this morning. Number one trending player to be traded

178
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: Alex Cruso. Can you guess the next four, two, three,

179
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: four and five? All Bulls, zach Vin, zachlerban number two,

180
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: DeRozan number three.

181
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: Then who do we got four and five?

182
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: Pascalcia that's number four is a trade throwing guy throwing

183
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yeah.

184
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: Well, later on I'm going to talk about all the

185
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: guys wrong, bad teams that should be dealt this year.

186
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: Could be one of them.

187
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: It's Evan forty.

188
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: So I think that if the offers come through for Caruso,

189
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: you know, December fifteenth is a big date in the

190
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: NBA calendar because more players are eligible to be traded. Obviously,

191
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: the trade deadline is in February. That's probably most likely

192
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: when it happens. But the balls are not trending.

193
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: The right way.

194
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: The team doesn't seem to like each other. We had

195
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: Zach Lavine kind of calling out Billy Donovan, or in

196
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: the first week of the season, we had the players

197
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: meeting that wasn't a player's meeting. Feels like something is

198
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: going to happen, or at least the Bulls should be sellers.

199
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: And when that's the case, I think Caruso is going

200
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: to be a guy who's gonna have a nice bidding

201
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: war for him. So that's good for the Bulls.

202
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, only if they want to tear the whole thing down.

203
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Would I trade Alex Crusoe. This doesn't really make sense

204
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: to trade Alex Crusso, who is a great guy to

205
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: get you into the play in tournament as they did

206
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: last year. You know, he's a great guy to have

207
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: on your team, but he's not going to turn it

208
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: around that much. And with the Bulls, they make money.

209
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: It's a team that is good being mediocre. And then

210
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: that's exactly who Alex Caruso is. Why wouldn't they have

211
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: traded him last year? I thought, of course they're going

212
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: to trade him last year. There's just such a mediocre

213
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: team trade Alex Caruso. But yeah, they ran it back. Yeah,

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: he's been there for years. He's such a good guy

215
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: to have around. He's twenty nine, he's gonna be turning thirty.

216
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: He's a guy to just to have around for the

217
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: rest of his career. It feels like, unless you are

218
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: absolutely tearing it down. But again, this Bulls team just

219
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: loves be An mor It's just they just like being

220
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: in the middle. And that's fine. That's fine by me.

221
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 4: Is it fine by you?

222
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, man. They for a

223
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: long time, the Bulls were in the middle and it

224
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: was a mark of pride to make the playoffs seventh

225
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: straight seasons. Then they tried tanking and got literally nothing

226
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 2: out of it. Yeah, I mean Zach literally nothing out

227
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: of it. And now they're trying to run it back.

228
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: So maybe it's time to go back into the tank.

229
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: Team should be selling, right like some team is going

230
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: to sell, will it be the Bulls. Maybe they haven't

231
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: shown the inclination, just like the Raptors haven't shown the inclination.

232
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is showing that he could get a lot back

233
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: even though he's thirty four years old. I thought last

234
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: year would be the year to trade DeMar Deroz and

235
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: Zach Lavine could get you some stuff back. We'll talk

236
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: a little bit later about the Sixers and whether or

237
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: not they should get Zach Lavine in there to play

238
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: with Tyrese MAXI. I don't think they should. But there's

239
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: a lot a lot to trade on this Bulls team,

240
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: and their ceiling is the ninth spot. I mean, they're

241
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: they're not that great.

242
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 4: Yeah. The issue with trading those two guys de Rozan

243
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: Levine is there's obviously got a lot more money you

244
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: got to come back in a hypothetical trade. Carusa makes like,

245
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 4: you know, ten million dollars, yeah, nine ten million, very

246
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 4: team friendly and he is only twenty nine. Yeah, like Maybury,

247
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: he makes the case in his article cases for keeping him.

248
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he's the heart and soul of the team.

249
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 4: He might be I think maybe he calls him really

250
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: their most valuable player. He's not their most talented, but

251
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: what he does, he's dependable on both ends of the floor,

252
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 4: and he is, in theory, just entering his prime. I

253
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 4: don't know if Carus is going to go another level up,

254
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 4: but if he plays at this level, that's a really

255
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 4: good player. The case for trading him, he points out, Well,

256
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: what do the Bulls really have to build around? Which players?

257
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 4: Do they really truly have to build around Kobe White?

258
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: I mean, even if he counts, because it's probably not

259
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: Patrick Williams, Io Dale and Terry, they have no draft capital.

260
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: This is what maybe he's getting at here. So oh okay, okay.

261
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: So they would be getting picks obviously, and young prospects

262
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: because you'd be leaning into a complete tear it down

263
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: and rebuilt.

264
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're hoping that they get a juicy pick back

265
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: for Alex Cruso. I think that would that would be

266
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: the hope. But what would they get. Would they get

267
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: it lottery pick? Probably not. It's probably a really good

268
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: team unless they have something in the in the in

269
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: the cabinet that somebody else's pick.

270
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: Perhaps, right right, All right, let's hear from everybody on

271
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 4: that one. What do the Bulls do here? Four and seven?

272
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: Is the sky falling? Are they going to actually do it?

273
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 4: Are they gonna, you know, trade some of these guys,

274
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: be it Cruso, be it Zach, be it the Rosen.

275
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: He's also a lot of the lineup right now.

276
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeahs is a lot of time because he's on the

277
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 2: ground all the time getting banged up.

278
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: But that's just gonna always be the case for Caruso.

279
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: He won a title with the Lakers.

280
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: People view him as a championship player, and he's kind

281
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: of like the most winning plays kind of guy that

282
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: the Bulls have. So there are teams that'll be interested

283
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: in him. I would love to see the Nuggets pick

284
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: him up, to be quite honest. He'd be their new

285
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown.

286
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 3: They need him.

287
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting. Uh, Let's move to the Celtics getting

288
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 4: to win last night, they snapped out of a shooting

289
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: funk pretty late to beat the Knicks one fourteen ninety eight.

290
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: You know, that's looks like a runaway victory, but it

291
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: was close for three quarters. Jason Tatum scored seventeen of

292
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: his thirty five in the fourth, and again it was

293
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: a three point game turned into a blowout. The win

294
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 4: improved Boston to eight and two overall and a perfect

295
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: five to zero at home and mature false question task

296
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 4: you can get a started here is tru or false?

297
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 4: The Celtics are the most well rounded team in the NBA. Well,

298
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 4: not the best team because you look at records they're

299
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 4: technically not, but well rounded on both sides of the

300
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: ball and what they've done so far this year through

301
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: ten games.

302
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, Yeah, the Denver Nuggets are the best team

303
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: in the NBA, But in the East, they've got guys

304
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup that are willing to make sacrifices.

305
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: All five of them have a lower usage rate than

306
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: last year. That's impressive to me. With Drew Holliday and

307
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: Derek White and then you're Jays and then krisps Porzingis,

308
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: they all are doing less than making sacrifices for each other.

309
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: Chrispsings doesn't care if he scores thirty nine. He just

310
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: doesn't care. We know of him as a star. He

311
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: had a nine point game last week where he had

312
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: four shots and he's okay with it and he's playing

313
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: d on the perimeter. He's looking really agile. It's cool

314
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: to see that he was injured this year this summer

315
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: when we were all watching the World Cup and we're

316
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: thinking is he ever coming back? When's he coming back?

317
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: He was hurt for LAFA with the planner fasciatas. They've

318
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: just got guys in him and Drew Holley, starting with

319
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday, And I say the Eastern Conference because the

320
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Bucks lose Drew Holiday and the Celtics defense starting with

321
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: him and Derek White on the perimeter, is just ready

322
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: every possession. And so they've got those two guys in

323
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: Holiday and Perzingis that are ready to sacrifice. So yeah,

324
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: they're just deep in the East and they're huge as

325
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: long as those guys stay healthy. But I always want

326
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: to say Nuggets, maybe because you were just talking about

327
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: Alex Crusoe, but the Nuggets are the best and the

328
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: Celtics are going for.

329
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 4: No Sixers love. I mean, they're well rounded as well,

330
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: But the Celtics, I will know, are the only team

331
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 4: I think in the NBA right now currently top five

332
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: on both sides of the ball offensive raiding and defense rating,

333
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: number one in net rating. Sixers are right there, Nuggets

334
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: are right there.

335
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: Probecs are deeper than the Sixers, but I actually.

336
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: The Sixers are a little deeper.

337
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: I don't really believe in the bench for either the

338
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: Celtics or the Nuggets at this point. It's pretty early

339
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: in the season, but like Peyton Pritchard, Sam Hawser Luke Cornette,

340
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: those are good guys in the regular season, but none

341
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: of them could stay on the court in the playoffs

342
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: last year. We have no clue what the Nuggets bench

343
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: is going to look like come playoff time. They're playing

344
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: all young guys that they're trying to develop right now

345
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: and has been up and down so far this season,

346
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: whereas the Sixers have like NBA caliber guys basically one

347
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: through ten. After the trade with for James Hart or

348
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: trading James Harden and getting a Batuman Covington back. Obviously

349
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: Kelly eu Breys out right now, but I think they

350
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: probably have the deepest team in the league, but the Celtics'

351
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: top six is better than the Sixers top sticks.

352
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you see any of this game last night?

353
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 4: And well, again the Knicks like did keep it close,

354
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: they were in it no RJ. Barrett, But yeah, then

355
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 4: Tatum just it was a takeover. He had a bad

356
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: game up until that point, couldn't hit three to save

357
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: his life, and caught fire late.

358
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a team now. I think he can

359
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: just chill out for the first half three quarters and

360
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: then really turn it on in the second half. He

361
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have to put a fifty point game together like

362
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: he did against the Sixers last year in the postseason.

363
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to because they've got so many guys.

364
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: Again that you said rate, that's important. The Knicks had them,

365
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: They had him for the first half, but they guarded

366
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: Julius Randall pretty well and then they just turned it on.

367
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: So they can turn it on. You know, Jrue Hollid

368
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: is also not going to score twenty five, but he

369
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: can turn it on the defensive end.

370
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: Obviously, the Sixers beat the Celtics, you know, handed them

371
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 4: one of their losses. The Wolves, I guess was the

372
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: other team that handed the Celtics their other loss. But

373
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: I think they play again here soon. Sixers Celtics. I

374
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: think it's this week.

375
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: We've got an IST game.

376
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: Perhaps.

377
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: I think it's Wednesday night. Yeah, I don't think it's tonight.

378
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: It means nothing but the Sixers playing Wood. I think

379
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 4: the Sixers play the Pacers tonight. In the IST. We're

380
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: gonna be on playback tonight around eight thirty pm Eastern,

381
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 4: probably catching the end of some of those early starts.

382
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 4: So hit that link in the show notes. Join our

383
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 4: No Dunk's playback room. Okay. In other game action, Siakam

384
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 4: scored a season high thirty nine points and the Raptors

385
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: overcame a twenty three point deficit to beat the Wizards

386
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: one eleven, one oh seven up North Washington led by

387
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 4: twelve with just under six minutes to go, and uh

388
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 4: they didn't score again. We watched this one on playback

389
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 4: and it was wild. The Wizards missed their final ten

390
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: shots from the field, so they lose another game. The

391
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 4: Raptors have another huge comeback they did against the Spurs

392
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: not long ago, but trure, false Trey. I get it

393
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: started here. The Wizards are not a serious basketball team.

394
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 3: I mean shout out to two chains. This is true, Skeets.

395
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: I feel bad for you because you're gonna be sucking

396
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: down a bag full of nut and dust. This team

397
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: is an absolute joke. First in pace somehow, twenty third

398
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: in offense. That's wild.

399
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, why.

400
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: Are you playing so fast if you're that bad on offense.

401
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: You look at the Pacers. They're second in pace and

402
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: they got the best offense in the league. The Wizards, though,

403
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: last night, they didn't score for the last five minutes

404
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: and forty seven seconds.

405
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: They had so many layups though, Yeah, watched layups. They

406
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 4: were getting to the rim and getting open threes. They

407
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: went ice cool, but that was weird.

408
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steph no broke down their last twelve possessions. It

409
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 2: went turnover, block shot, block shot, turnover, missed layup, missed layup,

410
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: missed layup, miss three. Yeah, yeah, turnover, missed floater, turnover, turnover.

411
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.

412
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: Yeah they are. That was pretty amazing. I thought the

413
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 4: Raptors had set themselves up for the classic fake comeback

414
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 4: down twenty three. Oh, I'm watching on playback. I'm pissed

415
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 4: off because we're getting hammered by the Wizard I was like, yeah,

416
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 4: we'll get this to five at six and it'll be

417
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 4: just like too big of a deficit and they'll ultimately lose.

418
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: And instead, yeah, thanks to the Wizards just for turning

419
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 4: it over or missing shot after shot. The Raptors end

420
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: on a twenty two to one run test and and

421
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: pull this out and got me tweeting your thumbs up photo.

422
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 4: But what do you think about this about this Wizard's

423
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 4: team here?

424
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: I think they must watch because are Yeah, it's fun

425
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: to watch. How horrible they are? To fun to watch.

426
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole will turn the ball over, not pay attention

427
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: to what his coach is saying during timeouts, you know,

428
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: shoot it and then pretend that he's hitting it. He

429
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: does the old steff, the old nick young thing where

430
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: he thinks it's in, he turns and he looks at

431
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: the bench and then it just rims out. That kind

432
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: of thing. I love it. And Kyle Kuzma also just

433
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: stepped out of bounds there.

434
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: They called the time out to run kz.

435
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: So weird because I don't know why he was out

436
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: of bounce. I mean, he just got a pass and

437
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: then they just stepped too far and then it just

438
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: didn't end. They were chasing Dennis shrewd.

439
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.

440
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 4: And then they're like, I mean, it's a four point game,

441
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: there's two seconds to go. The odds of you winning

442
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: the game are like next to zero. But they just

443
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: chucked the ball like they literally just were like games over.

444
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 4: They just threw it in like halfhazardly to half. Part's

445
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: just not even an effort to like maybe get fouled

446
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: or something. They were just like, it's done. What have

447
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 4: we done?

448
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: They don't like each other. It feels a little like

449
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: the Warriors from last year with Pool, where they just

450
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: don't have the chemistry. Uh. And I love seeing Denny

451
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: and his contract extension he signed, but when he's a

452
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: primary guy running the offense, it doesn't look good. He's

453
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: a secondary offensive guy who's The Raptors were just really good,

454
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: and when they came back.

455
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were not good for a while. There was

456
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: no og. I think he lacerated his finger doing household

457
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: chores and and then Gary Trent Junior missed the game.

458
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 4: Yeah I don't. I don't have the details on that,

459
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 4: but that's what I heard. Uh No, it was this. Look,

460
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: this would have been a different topic. Here this morning.

461
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: If the Raptors had lost when he even just lost

462
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 4: this game. But Chris Bouchet was awesome. Sam was the star.

463
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 4: He hit the It was nice to see him for

464
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: Raptors fans. He hit a game winning shot too. I

465
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: mean it wasn't he got pool on him, went at him.

466
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 4: I mean they're just too small for Sakham and uh

467
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 4: he got it to like it hit the front of

468
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: the rim and dropped it. Big, big shot. But Bouchet

469
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 4: had thought great energy off the bench with the fro

470
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: flowing there, Malachi Flynn decently. They actually got some guys

471
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: contributing coming in to at least give them some energy

472
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 4: to get back in this game. Turns you just have

473
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 4: to play hard to beat the Wizards.

474
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we would be talking about it differently. Dennis

475
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: shrewders one for twelve, our man passcal Siaki had six turnovers.

476
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: Things are bad. Thanks for very bad.

477
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and just Tray slipped it in there. We

478
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 4: do have a weird bet going on here, you know,

479
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: pick up and payoffs. It's sort of done. We don't

480
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: do it anymore. But the bet for the for the

481
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 4: entire season here is whatever team between the Hornets that's

482
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 4: team's trays team, and the Wizards that's my team. Whatever

483
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 4: team has the fewest amount of wins between those two,

484
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 4: the loser has to basically chug the dust at the

485
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: bottom of like a peanut bag.

486
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's news to me, but it's also I go

487
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: both ways. I Mean, sometimes I despise that idea, but.

488
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 4: I just think a lot of coffe it's almost like

489
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 4: a cinnamon challenge a little bit, yeah, a lot of salt,

490
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 4: a taste, a little good, yeah, yeah, in your mouth

491
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: will feel like a desert. Yeah, it'll be parched. So

492
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: I'm team Wizards, you know, and he's team Hornet. Though

493
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 4: these are both absolutely horrible teams. But right now yeah three.

494
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: And six, Yeah yeah, yeah, they've split the series, I

495
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 3: think though, so they.

496
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: That's why I've picked guys on these teams that need

497
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: to be dealt because they're losing teams. That's it, Yes,

498
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: done and done, all right?

499
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 4: Final one here in true or false. Darren Fox twenty

500
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: eight points six assists in his return from an ankle

501
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: injury helped give the Kings Mike Brown, specifically, his four

502
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: hundredth career victory with the one thirty two one win

503
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 4: over the Cabs. Sabonis flirted with a triple double. Keegan

504
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 4: Murray season high twenty five points, hit five three pointers.

505
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 4: So my question off of this is true false. Darreon

506
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 4: Fox is the King's most important player.

507
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: Absolutely. He gets everything moving on that starting lineup, that roster,

508
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: how the shots are coming. Four guys scored twenty or more.

509
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: As you mentioned that, Keegan Murray, he's been struggling a

510
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: little bit to start this season, but I think he's

511
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: going to be so key for them, just to be

512
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: that sort of secondary guy. We saw him at summer League.

513
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: We're hoping he was going to be fantastic, and he was.

514
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: He really was. Kevin Hurder, same thing. That guy gets

515
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: it set up properly, and hopefully he's healthy. You know,

516
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: he missed five games because he wasn't. But when he is,

517
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: this King's team is for real. They're so so good,

518
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: and they're so good that they built Mike Brown a throne.

519
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 4: Well that's that's their They're sort of you know how

520
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 4: these teams have like chains and bits they do. Now

521
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 4: I believe they give it the crown or whatever to

522
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 4: the defensive player of the game, but they gave it

523
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: to Mike Brown last night because.

524
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: A win four hundred, A nice chair.

525
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I got to sit in a chair, take

526
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 4: a phone, or I didn't have a crown on too.

527
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: I think they gave him a crown.

528
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't think that was him.

529
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh that's cool.

530
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool for him.

531
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 4: Fox did make an immediate impact in the game. He

532
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 4: scored like yeah, yeah, but what do you think I

533
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 4: believe you. I assume you think this is true as well.

534
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think that having their best player back

535
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 2: is important for the Kings, and therefore he's the most

536
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 2: There's one number that sticks out to me. Last year,

537
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: the Kings were twelfth in pace. This year, with Fox

538
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: missing a handful of games here already, they're only twenty sixth,

539
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: and the guy's one of the fastest players in the league.

540
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 2: He looked disruptive on both ends. I thought last night

541
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: he was obviously the quickest guy on the court, but

542
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: he was giving it as all defensively as well. I'll

543
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: also say best game I've seen from Sasha bezenkov Ye

544
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: last night. Eleven points, three threes seventeen minutes. Task like

545
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: to call him the lefty Klay Thompson in the summer.

546
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: I think he's more of a Bulgarian George Nie.

547
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: That was a nice matchup seeing those two go against

548
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: each other.

549
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked more athletic in your Yeah.

550
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: That's what happens, quite as athletic.

551
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 3: But then you mentioned Kevin Herder. Herder's been balling.

552
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: He's had his best three games of the season in

553
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: these last three wins for the Kings. They need him

554
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: to shoot it from outside, and he gets easier shots

555
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 2: when Fox is creating for me.

556
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you wonder, like the injury to Fox from to

557
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: see a couple of games, is it one of those

558
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: weird little blessings in the skies that just guys like

559
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: Herder and Monk even who had some beautiful dimes actually

560
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 4: in this game too last night. It just gives them

561
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 4: more reps. And then when Fox comes back, they're asked

562
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 4: to do a little bit less back into their role

563
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 4: and maybe they can flourish because yeah, Herd or good

564
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: Keegan Murray amazing, Like as a team, they shot nearly

565
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 4: sixty percent from the field, They hit twenty threes. They

566
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 4: really kept the Calves sort of at arm's length when

567
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: they tried to make the comeback. But yeah, Fox is

568
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: their most important player. You just I think you even

569
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 4: see the impact he has on a guy like so Bonus,

570
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 4: which is, you know you want him to be really

571
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: your second guy. Fox makes everything go And another interesting

572
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 4: development from the game, Keith and Murray guarding Donovan Mitchell

573
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 4: for a majority of the game, especially down the stretch,

574
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: helped hold him to seven of twenty one shooting. That's

575
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: to me a level where the Kings can go to

576
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: another level. If Keegan Murray actually is a really he's

577
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 4: a big dude, and if he can really lock in

578
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 4: on that end, give them sort of a perimeter defenders

579
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 4: a little bit, That's how you go up another level.

580
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 4: I think because they got an a better defense, which

581
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: they are slowly, Brown has got them playing a little

582
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: more dee. So it was just an interesting development I

583
00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 4: thin from last night.

584
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Donovan Mitchell, uh, he was limited in this game.

585
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: Everybody else really contributed. He was He struggled a little bit.

586
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: It was great to see, you know, Avin Mobley and Carroselvert.

587
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: They had a lot of guys banging home threes. If

588
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell was better, then the Cavs could win this game.

589
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: But as we talked about with that horrible Wizards Raptors game.

590
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: This was the best game Like that one was tough

591
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: to watch. Even the Nick Celtic solified. This calvs. Kings

592
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: game was really Yeah, it was really solid.

593
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: And are we worrying about the Cavaliers quite yet? You know,

594
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: losing record don't look all at inspiring. I know Garland

595
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 4: was injured for a majority of the year there and

596
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 4: Alan and stuff like that, so maybe it's too soon

597
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 4: to worry.

598
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the supporting parts. I was worried about

599
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: Evan Mobley for sure, but at least he had a

600
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: decent game in this one. Slowly coming along. I think

601
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: he should be highlighted a little bit more. Yeah, Donovan

602
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: Mitchell doesn't look like himself. Yeah, it's it's okay.

603
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 3: Circle back, We'll circle back.

604
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: They're not clicking yet, and they've had, you know, a

605
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: couple of starters missed significant time already, so they haven't

606
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: had their team the way they think it's gonna be.

607
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: But when Karis Laverne is kind of like your second option,

608
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: not ideal, I mean, he's been playing pretty decent basketball.

609
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: I think to start here, but I think they will

610
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: be better at the further on we get in the season.

611
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 4: All right, well, let's take a break and when we

612
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 4: come back, Task has some takes for us after missing

613
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 4: a few of the first weeks of the NBA season.

614
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 4: So don't go anywhere. All right here in the classic factory,

615
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 4: hit that like button. Make sure you subscribe podcast listeners,

616
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: leave your boys a five star rating and review Task.

617
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 4: You made your triumphant return yesterday. The people were hyped,

618
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 4: they were pumped. It was great to see. It's great

619
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: to have you here. But we were thinking about it.

620
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: You did basically miss, I guess, almost three weeks of

621
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 4: the NBA season, and you said you had some takes

622
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 4: to throw out of us, some thoughts I've got about

623
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 4: the shows.

624
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: While watching you guys with your thoughts, I thought I

625
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: have thoughts as well. Yeah, you guys have been great.

626
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: I just want to add one. What's going on in

627
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: the NBA? Because Number one, the end season tournament is

628
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: happening in November, and I want are people going to care?

629
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: It's working? It's working very well. Would you believe that

630
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: viewership for the n season tournament on ESPN is up

631
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: fifty five percent versus the comparable windows last season. Yeah,

632
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: because people can't because people watch the.

633
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: Because I can't tell you what those games were all

634
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 4: last year.

635
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: See, yeah, I don't know. I don't know about this

636
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: stat fifty five percent versus the comparable windows last season.

637
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: Looked it up. I looked it up.

638
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: According to Sports Media Watch, Lakers Suns one point nine

639
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: three million viewers turned in for Laker Suns one point

640
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: four million from Net Celtics compared to last year's equivalent doubleheader.

641
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: Lakers Sun's viewership increased seventy three percent from Bucks Timberwolves.

642
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: Well that Celtics declined four percent from Bowl Celtics. So basically,

643
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: Lebron and KD are bigger draws than Yannis and Anthony Edwards,

644
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: which I believe, which.

645
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we would have known anyways, which which would have

646
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: been floors. Yeah, but it is all about the floors.

647
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: If you tune in, if you're flipping by ESPN and

648
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: you see these floors that are different, why the heck

649
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't you watch them?

650
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

651
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it is the appropriate time, though, for people

652
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: to be involved invested in games that mean a little

653
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: bit more. November November is the property time for Adam

654
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Silver and everybody in the NBA to say watch NBA games.

655
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Football is great, and I know the NBA season air

656
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: quotes starts on Christmas, but November is a good good

657
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: time to say, hey, just watch basketball, and there's a

658
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: weekend Vegas in December. Go there, have fun, watch the games,

659
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: make something of it. And it's also the appropriate time

660
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: to just do something before in March, when the TV

661
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: deal begins to be negotiated. I think it's March of

662
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Get people involved, get some people caring

663
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: about November games. I think what it comes down to

664
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: is eighty two games is just way too many, period done,

665
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: and so make something happen in November. You know. That's

666
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: what Silver was discussing yesterday on the Celtics broadcast. It's

667
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: entirely true. But with this being the first time we're

668
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: seeing it, I think people will get invested.

669
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: I don't think it's been a bad start for this

670
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 4: at all. I mean, you're right, numbers up good. It

671
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 4: feels like more people are at least talking about these

672
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 4: Friday night games and Tuesday night games because of the courts,

673
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: because of the jerseys, because of whatever the groups, and

674
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: maybe as we move forward, like I think, it might

675
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 4: get a little exciting here in a couple of weeks

676
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 4: when ooh, that's a big game for the advancement of

677
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: group play, like to move on, because that's what we're

678
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 4: gonna get here soon. I mean, I know some teams,

679
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: like the Thunder, they might be already out of this thing.

680
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: They're zero and too in their group play. I think

681
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 4: they have a third game tonight. They're gonna have played

682
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 4: three games where the Raptors they even even play the

683
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 4: game in the in season tournament. Weird scheduling quirk. I

684
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: know there's some other teams I don't think I played,

685
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: but anyway, it's this is okay. It's gonna take a

686
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: while until they actually maybe care about the trophy and

687
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 4: all that. That'll be years if ever, but I don't

688
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: mind this. At least people are tuning in or talking

689
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 4: about it.

690
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: I guess my favorite point that Silver made when he

691
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: was on the broadcast last night is that this is

692
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: just the schedule for basketball. Hey, it's just regular season games,

693
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: so they were going to be played anyways. I don't

694
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: know if this was the case for y'all growing up,

695
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: since your Thanksgiving is in October, but it's very common

696
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: in the US. You play a Thanksgiving tournament at the

697
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: beginning of the year, that's what this is. Then you

698
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: play a Christmas tournament around Christmas time that's NBA Christmas Day,

699
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: and then you play obviously your championship, March Madness or

700
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, So it just slots in.

701
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 3: Nobody really is.

702
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: Hyping up the Maui Invitational at the beginning of the year,

703
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: but they count as regular season games in college and

704
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: you win something and they have a weird floor.

705
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the floors are important. I think the floors help,

706
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: to be honest, because just because you're flipping around. That's

707
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: why I sort of believe you flip channels, flip apps,

708
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: flip what's broadcasting to me?

709
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's the thing. I feel like channel flipping.

710
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: That's not so much a thing anymore.

711
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's probably more of the people tune

712
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: into these games that are on whatever they're on NBA

713
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 4: TV or ESPN, and they're like, what the heck, what

714
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 4: is this floor? What does that mean? What's that what's

715
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 4: that trophy? People asking questions.

716
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: I guess do you think they're going.

717
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 4: To change the floors every year? Like next year, are

718
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 4: we gonna have thirty brand new in season tournament courts,

719
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 4: probably right because they go hand in hand a lot

720
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 4: of these times with theirs or zero.

721
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it depends, just depends on the painter in

722
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: each city. That's what it's about about the manufacturer. Yeah,

723
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: I did have people.

724
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 4: Remember I was asking, Hey, is this good or bad

725
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 4: for people that install floors? Do they like this because

726
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 4: it's more work and they're paid maybe hourly or do

727
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 4: they hate this because it's just more work and they're

728
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 4: paid the same. My sources, my floor sources, say they

729
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 4: like it. Yeah, they're just getting to flip more floors.

730
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 4: They're in there putting more hours in I don't know, overtime,

731
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 4: kicking in. That's what I've been told two different sources

732
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: that have some connection to the you know in arena

733
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 4: sort of flipping. So good, I'm happy to hear that thinks.

734
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: So I think people will be painting more and more.

735
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 4: Well, they don't come in and paint the floor after.

736
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: They do what they do, they paint the wood, paint

737
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: Prichard on the spot. Anyway, let's get to the next one.

738
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: The vets that need to be dealt this season. I

739
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: was excited to watch the beginning of the year where

740
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: we come from the summer league action where we saw

741
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: Victor Weminham is probably worst game he will ever play

742
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: at a Spurs uniform. In his first game and then

743
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: his second game he came on. He was great. Now

744
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: this start to his season, it's been so good. He's playing.

745
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: He's playing chat tonight.

746
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're getting.

747
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: Some thunder Spurs exciting stuff. I was looking at all

748
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: the teams that aren't going to be great, and I thought,

749
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 1: maybe the Spurs aren't gonna be great. Maybe maybe some

750
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: of these teams got to be dealing people. But the

751
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: Spurs don't deal anyone during the during the season, but

752
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: the Wizards and Hornets will be. So here are the

753
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: vets that need to be dealt this season for the

754
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: championship type teams. Teams that are looking to just get

755
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: a guy off their bench, most likely who can score.

756
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: Danil Gallinari of the Washington Wizards. Yeah, you forgot about

757
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: that guy's name. He can score. Gordon Hayward of the

758
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: Hornets is playing well, and Delon Wright will get to

759
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: of the Washington Wizards. Not so much a score but

760
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: a good guy. These guys are going to help playoff

761
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: teams These are all guys from teams that will not

762
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They're good players, they're all on expiring

763
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: deals and they should be dealt. Unlike Alex Drusso, who's

764
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: a contract. These guys are all coming up done in July,

765
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: so deal them. Daniel Gallinari gets buckets. He's thirty five

766
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: years old. Why do the Wizards need him at all?

767
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: They don't. I do not think they do. Last year

768
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: he was signed by the Celtics for long term deal

769
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: to help them win a championship, and now he's just resting.

770
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: He rested yesterday's game against the Toronto Raptor. He sat

771
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: because he needed rest, apparently, But he's shooting fifty three percent.

772
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: Does anyone want Neil Gallinari? They gave up on him

773
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: in Boston because they wouldn't got Drew Holiday. He was

774
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: part of the Kristaps Porzingis deal. Actually, somebody should just

775
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: go grab Gallinario. I could that just just come off

776
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: your bench hit ten like Eric Gordon did last Well,

777
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: you know, he's that type of guy towards the end

778
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: of his career. That's all. I just hope that Danila

779
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: will be somewhere, that's all.

780
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 3: I mean. Those guys are gettable.

781
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: I would imagine if they're all on expiring contracts and

782
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: basically at the end of their careers, you should have

783
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 2: been able to get him for like a second round pick. Yeah,

784
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,959
Speaker 2: he's like, you shouldn't trade much for Daniela Gallinari. He'll

785
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: probably be a value out guy.

786
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gordon Hayward has been playing better. This is actually he's.

787
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: The only one I think that's like desirable around the league.

788
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are all guys that just like, you know,

789
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: fill your bench if you need him, if you need him.

790
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: But Gordon had he's actually playing well fifteen five and five,

791
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: stealing a half, almost a block per game. What this guy, Cord? Yeah, good,

792
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: Gord is great. You know, he's like a great Harrison Barns.

793
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, they just just slot him in and

794
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: he's not shooting a ton. LaMelo Ball is the guy

795
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: who's shooting all the time over there. So he's a

796
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: good support guy. Why do the hor Hornets need him?

797
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: They don't move on because they are in a place

798
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: where they should trade a thirty three year old guy. Yeah, yeah,

799
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: don right. I want to include him because I know

800
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: you love him.

801
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 4: I do, But unfortunately he's injured. He's out like four

802
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 4: to six weeks.

803
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: Right, the old knee, with the old knee injury.

804
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean, yes, I have talked it feels

805
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 4: like every year here on the Noduks podcast. I love

806
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 4: the idea of a of a just a good, solid

807
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 4: backup point guard for a good team that wants to

808
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 4: win a championship. Come in, don't make mistakes, run the system,

809
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: get in, get out, you know. And he's that type

810
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 4: of guy, and he can brings it defensively. It's just

811
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 4: unfortunate guy struggles to stay healthy. Same with Collinario obviously.

812
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 4: I mean he missed all of last season with the

813
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 4: Celtics because of the injury. But yeah, I liked I

814
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 4: like all three of these names. I could see all

815
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: three either in a bio situation or a potential trade.

816
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: It might be early in the season trying to say

817
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: that these teams aren't going to do well, but it's true.

818
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: The Hornets and the Wizards. Yeah, yeah, why do the

819
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: Wizards need a guy like Delon Wright. It's time to

820
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: move on. They went and got him because they thought

821
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: they were going to be good. He's in his thirties.

822
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: I want his nees to be good enough for a

823
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: championship type team. His brother, Drell Right won a championship

824
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: way back, way back. I want to see him get

825
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: a ring just like Bro. He was on the six

826
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: Miami Heat.

827
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: I'd forgotten about that.

828
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also made a great appearance on the Basketball

829
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: Jones Live shows. We saw him in Oakland in twenty eleven.

830
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: Durrell Right. So hopefully Delawna Right moves on. There's I

831
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a spurry like I was thinking,

832
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: maybe Dougin Dermott will help somebody. It's too deep. That's

833
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: that's too deep right now, and the Spurs are just

834
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: too good and they don't trade anybody anyway. Moving on

835
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: another take here, I want to hear your guys take

836
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: really on the All Star Game returning to East versus

837
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: West rather than just picking teams. I think it's a

838
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: great move. I think because the bar is so low

839
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: at All Star weekend, why not why not change it

840
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: from guys who picked teams and nobody really cares when

841
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: they take the floor to trying hard. Because even Tyre's Halliburton,

842
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton, I was shocked to hear him say about

843
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: this recently, recently, he said last year it was trash

844
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game. He just said it was trash,

845
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: literally said he's been there once. He's young.

846
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 4: This first one, yeah, you think he cares about was brutal.

847
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 4: Last year it was.

848
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: But it was shocking to hear a guy say that,

849
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: because he started talking about it, and Bruce Brown, who

850
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: was beside him, just went straight faced. He just couldn't

851
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: believe that somebody would say something like that, you know,

852
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: to the media. But it's great that he did because

853
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: it was true truth. It's an interesting it's an interesting

854
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: move because All Star weekend sort of like we just

855
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: talked about n Season tournament, you're trying to get lots

856
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: of enthusiasm around it. So there's obviously, you know, Friday night,

857
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: you got the rookies and the sophomores playing, you Have

858
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: It Done contest, you got three point contests, and there's

859
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: some talk around there about potentially moving it to Las

860
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: Vegas in December like those types of events. Why not

861
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: why not Soup up event in Vegas December ninth. We

862
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: just got one game. I get some fun, so East

863
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: versus West, I think going back to what we know.

864
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: Tyres Halburn also complaining about wearing their jerseys. We also

865
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: complain about that too. He wants to wear a Pacers jersey.

866
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah they should do that.

867
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah they should do that.

868
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 4: I don't know if they will, but they like to

869
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 4: give us a crappy generic All Star jersey. That's three

870
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 4: people buy it. But okay, yeah we'll see. I like,

871
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 4: you know, we've talked about this, like I have no

872
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: issues with it. Why not go back like this whole

873
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 4: idea of like it's back to basketball. That's literally what

874
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 4: Silver's trying to like sell us on. It's like, well,

875
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 4: all he means is like, all right, guys, just play

876
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 4: hard please for a little bit.

877
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: Please.

878
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if you're East West, if your team

879
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: honest team will brother, it doesn't matter. Just we just

880
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 4: want somewhat of an entertaining game. And I don't know,

881
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a basketball game, especially an exhibition one.

882
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 4: Could it still be a twenty five point blowout? It

883
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 4: absolutely could happen and the clock expires him and goes huh.

884
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: Hopefully it doesn't. And you know, they have a way

885
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 4: that they can massage this a little bit because it's

886
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 4: it's a pointless game. It's just for for the fans,

887
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 4: So maybe they can, you know, let that team back

888
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: into it and then like play like let's go here,

889
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 4: final six minutes, let's go and you see who's out

890
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 4: there and you see the matchups. But sure, we're back

891
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 4: in Indiana.

892
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: Back to basketball. It's back to basketball.

893
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see it doesn't Hopefully we just get a

894
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 4: close game.

895
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: It's it.

896
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking back the last two West versus East games. Uh,

897
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen one nine to one eighty two for

898
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 2: the West and the year prior one ninety six to

899
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: seventy three for the West. That was when like Steph

900
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: Curry was literally laying down on the court and having

901
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: people jump over there.

902
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

903
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 2: So basically the All Star Game, regardless of the format,

904
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 2: it just gets so bad every once in a while.

905
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 3: They got to change it up, and they had to

906
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 3: change it up after last.

907
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: Year and that's why they changed to guys voting because

908
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: things weren't going well with the East versus West, and

909
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: it's not a lock that it's going to be when

910
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: they go to.

911
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 4: The Unfortunately it's not. And maybe we just have to

912
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: stop caring. I mean, I think what we just don't

913
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 4: want is we don't want a Harlem Globetrotters game. We

914
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 4: want some silliness and you want some characters and fun

915
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: plays like that, whatever, crazy passes and all that. You

916
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 4: want to see that. But then at a certain point,

917
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 4: you wanted to like turn a little bit into a

918
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: real a real game where there's some competitive juices.

919
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: Just a fourth quarter. You want a fourth quarter of defense. Yeah,

920
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: that's what Kobe asked for a way back when.

921
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it really that's what that's really all that matters.

922
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 4: It's the star players in this league, the superstars setting

923
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 4: the tone, whether they're East or West or again, the

924
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 4: captains of their teams. They have to set the tone,

925
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 4: and these guys need to follow suit. They have to

926
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 4: have a couple guys that give a shit here and

927
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: they have to give a shit. They have to give

928
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 4: a shit just for the like, for the game itself.

929
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 4: That's the thing, not for money or not for wins

930
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 4: or whatever. You know, these ideas we come up, it's

931
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 4: just because that's really sort of what you should do

932
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 4: to celebrate the game a little bit.

933
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: So we gotta have Tyres Saliverton on the pod just

934
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: to ask him about it, because he seems to care

935
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: about it. The most good it's in Indiana.

936
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 4: He'll be there.

937
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he will care. Here's here's some other guys from

938
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: the East that will also care. My take here is

939
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: that the Philadelphia seventy six ers, Maxie Embiid, they won't

940
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: trade for anybody before the All Star Game or before

941
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. I should say they will not make

942
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: the move because there's rumors after they traded James Harden.

943
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: All Right, they get there, they get their draft picks,

944
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: and maybe Darryl Moury, we'll find another star out there

945
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: to help out John Beid. I don't think that's gonna happen.

946
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: I think they're just going to go forward with Maxi

947
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: and Embiid to get them into the postseason, and Embiid

948
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: is going to be happy. They're going to try this

949
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: postseason out with a star in Tyres Maxi. Finally, Tyres

950
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: Maxi can play to his seily, to his capability without

951
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: James Harden being the guy. What happens in the offseason, Well, again,

952
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: another guy, because it's so interesting to look at their

953
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: salaries and how much they're paying Joel Embiid a lot

954
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars after this season. But then only other

955
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: guy who signed is getting paid seven million dollars. They

956
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: have so much room to sign max.

957
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 4: Guys, right we MAXI will be one of those.

958
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 3: Right, He's going to be more expensive than they were thinking.

959
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is unfortunate for sure, but they're still

960
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: going to have room to go gut potentially in Pascal Siakam.

961
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: I think to get Joel Embiid pretty happy. So that's all.

962
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: That's all.

963
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: You don't think they do it during the season.

964
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, at some point, at some point they will. But

965
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked about Embiid not being happy, and

966
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: bed'll be happy going into the postseason, I think with

967
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: Tyres Max, and then they try this postseason out, then

968
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: they get him happy again. So he'll be thirty plus.

969
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll never leave. Maybe we'll be happy enough. So

970
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: that's all I gotta say about the Philadelphia seventy six ers,

971
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: because I know you guys have been talking about them,

972
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: and we'll be sitting here at the trade deadline seeing

973
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: what Darryl's up to. Yeah, thank you, they're gonna see it.

974
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 4: Anyone nurse can also help get them to a third

975
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 4: round or a finals. You know, it's not Doc anymore

976
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 4: that was always Doc's kryptonite unless he was with the

977
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 4: you know, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce back in the day.

978
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: I don't think the Sixers will make a big trade,

979
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 2: like you're saying a third star, but Daryl Morey always

980
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: does something at the deadline, and I think Gordon Hayward

981
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 2: it actually is a potential fit here for the seventy

982
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: six ers, especially like you're saying, he's got an expiring contract.

983
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: They could use another ball handler off the bench, a

984
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: shooter that can play alongside these guys and they can

985
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 2: hide them defensively as well. Shout out to troll bro

986
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 2: did in the Uno Ball podcast. I know he's been

987
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 2: going on and on about Gordon Hayward, who could definitely

988
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: fit in here. But they don't need to make the

989
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: huge move because they got a second star already, it's Maxic.

990
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the Hayward move to have somebody who's

991
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: clearly not taking Maxie spot to be that third guy,

992
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: to be the Tobias Harris that they already have. Yeah,

993
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: because it's interesting after m beating Maxie. They've got a budget,

994
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: they've got depth, but they don't have a great ball handler.

995
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: So Gordon would be nice, be nice to see Gorgon. Okay,

996
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: last thing because I just want to see these jerseys

997
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: because I don't even know what these jerseys are, the

998
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: NBA City Edition jerseys. Yeah, let's have a look, because

999
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: the Athletic did a great job of breaking them down,

1000
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: ranking them all our man, Jason Jones, James Edwards and

1001
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: Kelly Eco all thirty. There's thirty this year. That doesn't

1002
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: happen every year where all every team changes things. What

1003
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: do you guys love the most?

1004
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 4: What do you love them?

1005
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't like at first the Washington Wizards one,

1006
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: and it wasn't ranked all that great. I like David

1007
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: Aldridge getting mad about it. Why did you rank that

1008
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: so low? It's good, it's good. I like it really

1009
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: boundary stones, as DA put it, it kind of draws

1010
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: out the the the borders in Washington. Oh yes, way back,

1011
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: it's a way back play. I like that. I don't

1012
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: like the basket Brooklyn nets move. Don't like that. That's

1013
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: a basket? Am I right? Is that an artist one?

1014
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: Or is that just that's.

1015
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 4: Cause you can't keep track of your artists?

1016
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, I thought they would just keep going basket.

1017
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like that one.

1018
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 4: I don't like a lot of them, but because some

1019
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 4: of them are five. But there are a lot of

1020
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 4: duds here fifty to eighty.

1021
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm okay with what Why because it's the altitude.

1022
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you go play in Mexico City and they

1023
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: like trumpet by two thousand feet?

1024
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, this is the highest.

1025
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: I'll put a higher number. It might be a cooler number.

1026
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 4: They put a number on their jersey, you know, I mean,

1027
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 4: say Nuggets or Denver.

1028
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 3: It's pathetic.

1029
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 4: Guys are the champions.

1030
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I'm just saying I don't care

1031
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 3: what Mexico said.

1032
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: Of course, that's why I'm making fun of it. Okay,

1033
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: sees looks like Halloween. I think there's looks terrible on court.

1034
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 2: The biggest disappointment to me is the Suns. I think

1035
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: there's looks awesome when it's sitting here. Play on their

1036
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 2: court and you're like, oh.

1037
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: You're disappearing. Purple and purple bad move? YEA Kings looks

1038
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 3: bad in person. I don't mind the Spurs. What a burger?

1039
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 3: That might be the best one to me. They got

1040
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 3: a crazy court too. It's like green and yellow.

1041
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind it.

1042
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 4: Are we seeing the skeleton tonight?

1043
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 3: Skeleton's out, Baby, I'm.

1044
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 4: Excited to see that one.

1045
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, like just see it.

1046
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 4: That one's crazy.

1047
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: Four kind of looks like a No Dunks floor.

1048
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit when Neon Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

1049
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: Somebody said it looks like a Goosebumps cover pointed that.

1050
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah, I mean the little Goosebumps books,

1051
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,959
Speaker 4: of course. Yeah, are you scared of them? Yes, yeah,

1052
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 4: it's a there's a lot of true. I mean this

1053
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 4: is what I mean, like this whole idea of like, Okay,

1054
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 4: the n CEA's Tournament, we're obviously going to give it

1055
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 4: a go for a couple of years here. I mean

1056
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 4: that's what Silver's like locking in. So yeah, what like,

1057
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 4: are we just getting new courts and new jerseys for

1058
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 4: the n Season Tournament and the City Edition like every

1059
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 4: single year they're gonna stick some of them? Can teams

1060
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 4: elect to keep them because they like them?

1061
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1062
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 4: My gut says, we'll just have a whole other batch

1063
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 4: all thirty again.

1064
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: But last year some teams didn't make new jerseys.

1065
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 3: The City Edition always changes changes every single right year.

1066
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 4: But then these city editions are like sort of go

1067
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 4: hand in hand with a lot of these in season

1068
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 4: tournament courts.

1069
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean you're also seeing like teams have

1070
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: their court that matches specifically their city edition jerseys. So

1071
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: like the Pacers have their in season tournament court that's

1072
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 2: got the big stripe down the middle, but they also

1073
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: have like a gray court that's got like kind of

1074
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 2: graffiti stuff on it that.

1075
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 3: Matches these as well.

1076
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 4: M Yeah, I thought the indie court was more for

1077
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 4: these city edition jerseys because it's the bright blue spring

1078
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

1079

1166
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,640

1167
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: so somewhere around twelve.

1168
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,840
