Okay, so mine was 26 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: a not I signed a one in one. It was 27 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: like they wouldn't do a team option or player option 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: because it would give me veto rights and trade, so 29 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: they didn't really option. I sayd y'all can make a 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: team option. It's like no, So just made it a 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: one and one non guaranteed. So when I told my 32 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 3: I wasn't sure I get picked up, got you and 33 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: then if I did get picked up, which I did, 34 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: I got traded to Memphis. They picked it up for 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: the first half and I had to make it to 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: January for the rest of it to be guaranteed. But 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 3: for me, it's like I had to rush back. But 38 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 3: in order for me to show people that I'm still 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: capable you when free agency was coming up that next 40 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: this summer, I had to be able to try to play. 41 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: So I was trying to get back as soon as possible. 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 3: And I had a double ligament, so it was a 43 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: cl n l EL.

I don't 62 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 3: see why if Jimmy does what he's supposed to do, 63 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: be back at least eight or nine months, which is 64 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: like October November. 65 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 4: Okay, So like, how oh were you? 66 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: I was thirty five, he's thirty six, So yeah, I 67 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: was thirty four turning for thirty five.

They was maniacal and it helped push me. 71 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 3: But I was in that every day. You gotta start 72 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 3: with trying to learn how to walk again, you know 73 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Learn how to to jog and then 74 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 3: jump and all that.

So 77 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: it's just it's a it's a it's an everyday mental 78 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: grind more than their physic. 79 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I want to know because I've never 80 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 5: had no major injury. So Danny, can you talk about, 81 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 5: like what's the mental hurdles you had? 82 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 4: Being that you was older too? 83 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, bro, because you you probably started thinking like, damn. 84 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: Is it worth it? It's retirement, you know what I'm saying. 85 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. 86 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 3: So like at thirty five, I was like, shit, is 87 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: this it for me? Like I didn't want it to 88 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: be it, Like I'm still who. I was playing well. 89 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: I had a good little to the It was actually 90 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: playing against Jimmy in Miami Philly Miami series. We was 91 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: getting smoked in Miami and Philly. We was playing pretty well. 92 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: I was like, damn, Mic opped out getting another new deal, 93 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: like another two year deal something like that. Could have 94 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 3: played for another three solid years. But after that, I 95 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: was like, you know, people are gonna start looking at me, 96 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 3: and damn it, I'm already older. Yeah, damaged good, it's 97 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: gonna take a year. I was already just like, damn, 98 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be out for like twelve months. Yeah, And 99 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 3: then I started doing research and talking to the people 100 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 3: like yo, if you do this right away, you can 101 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: get back sooner. So like it started giving me more 102 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: hope and positivity. But it was a daily grind, bro. 103 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: It was a daily grind mentally anyway, like getting up 104 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: and showing up. Half the battles is showing up every 105 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: day eight nine hours, Like I'll be in there seven 106 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: eightyhab shit sometimes, but like at least six so eight am. 107 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 3: Sometimes I wouldn't get home to like three or four, 108 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: so like four hours. Yeah, so like that's a good 109 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 3: eight hour like sometimes seven eight hours, but you know, 110 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: at least five to six. I would say the minimum 111 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: was five to six hour rehabs, but some days I'll 112 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: be eight am. Mind y'all took my time, though, but 113 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: I wouldn't get home to like sometimes three four in 114 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 3: the afternoon. 115 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: So, Paul, what do you think this does for Golden Steak, 116 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: Because to me, the guy was obviously the second best 117 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: player on the team just playing really well. He provided, 118 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: like outside of Steph, somebody you could give the ball 119 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: to and bend the defense, like the defense would have 120 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: to send help depending on who's guarding Jimmy. He's kind 121 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: of the only guy that seemed like a legitimate threat. 122 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: He changed their dynamic because he was a guy that 123 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: got to the free throw line from yes, you know 124 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like they did a lot of perimeter stuff. 125 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: He was more balanced of mid range and to the 126 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: basket and get files, and he was more of a 127 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: like Draymond is a good quarterback, he is a more 128 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: of a threat offensively. Not saying that Draymond, who's been 129 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 3: shooting it well this year and scoring more. But you 130 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 3: didn't guard Draymond like a scorer. 131 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: You have to go, Jimmy, you gotta take you serious. 132 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: You gotta stet his you know, his scoring ability. 133 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: Man. 134 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 5: I think you know, when I look at the Warriors 135 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 5: before this injury, they you know, they were like playing 136 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 5: a team, right now. So I just think with this 137 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 5: injury and hopefully Jimmy comes back healthy, but then again 138 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 5: he's a year older coming back next year dealing with 139 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 5: an injury. I think this officially closes the window any 140 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 5: kind of window that Golden State would have had on 141 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 5: a championship, because like, even though you know they're playing team, 142 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 5: you just I saw playing team get to the finals, 143 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 5: and as long as you got Steph and and Trey 144 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 5: and the coaching staff there, you always felt like there was, 145 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 5: you know, a Cinderella a threat to like kind of 146 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 5: make a run. But I just think it was this injury. 147 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 5: I think it really officially kind of closes the window. 148 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think there's still a little bit 149 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 3: of hope. You have to very much right the ship 150 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: with the kaminga thing first in order to get the 151 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 3: value you want back for him. Again, you have to 152 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 3: hope that Steph is playing at this level next year. 153 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: You got one more year maybe, and it all depends 154 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: on if Jimmy is attacking Juwy that'll come back. So 155 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: you have Stephan Jimmy and if you get trade pieces 156 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: for coming. 157 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: You're talking about next year, but this year, this year, 158 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: we can we can close. 159 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: Unless Kaminga is like, all right, I'm gonna be a professional, 160 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna watch everything. I'm just gonna go out here 161 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: become like he had thirty in the playoffs before. Okay, okay, 162 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: we can't say he's not capable score the ball. He's 163 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: a younger version to me of Jimmy. Now he's not 164 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: a smart high Q with's crafty of getting fouls and 165 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 3: free throws, but he has a good feel for the 166 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: game in my eyes, of knowing like to be at 167 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: the right place the right time to score the bast 168 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: Like he'll knock down a jumper when you need it. 169 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: He's gonna get a done like he can also run. 170 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 3: You need some youth and athleticism in today's league. So 171 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: depending on matchups, they're not winning a championship tenem matchups, 172 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: they can get to maybe a second or third round. Yeah, 173 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: maybe second round. I don't know about third, third, tough, 174 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: but I think they could win to the playoff series. 175 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 3: If Kaminga and you have Pajemski coming out, if you 176 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: could play like the way your buddy, you know hor for, 177 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: like those guys show up and play well, you cast. 178 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: A big ask. 179 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 5: I mean, you're telling the guy who hasn't played the 180 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 5: fifteen games sixteen. 181 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: He's only what I know. 182 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 5: But like, you don't just jump on the NBA court, 183 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 5: I don't care who you are. After missing like and 184 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 5: then work into you. 185 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: He's almost gonna have to play at an All star level. 186 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 3: For January January. 187 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 2: I'm not holding my breath on the Kaminga comeback story. 188 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: It's not just his ability. I'm not saying that the 189 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: guy doesn't have time. 190 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm not saying I wouldn't say that 191 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 3: he actually does it. That's the only way. 192 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: But I don't got you what I'm saying. 193 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: The reason why I'm saying that's just highly unlikely is that, 194 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: first of all, Sham's just put out a report that 195 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 2: the situation between Kaminga and Steve Kurr is untenable. Let's 196 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: let's rewind because I want the listeners to get it. Like, 197 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: when you see these reports, you gotta realize what Camps 198 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: is coming out of. Remember you guys will remember Sham's 199 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: also reported last year that Johnath think Kaminga is losing 200 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 2: faith in Steve Kerr. Okay, so we know Steve Kurr 201 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: didn't put out the didn't lead to to Sham's that 202 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 2: his own players losing faith in him. That would be 203 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: him saying he's not good at his job. So we 204 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: know he didn't do that. He didn't dis himself in 205 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: the press. 206 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: Came from the Communic camp. 207 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: So now when Sham's is saying that the relationship is 208 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: quote fractured beyond repair, it's you. 209 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: Know what I mean? 210 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: So like that's the thing, and that's before you talk 211 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: about style of play and just the opportunities that Kaminga 212 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: has had. And I can understand the Comingica camp saying, 213 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: oh we didn't get a long lead ship. It's hard 214 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: to play looking over and look cool. 215 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: And your opportunities. 216 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 2: You haven't proven that you can be a trustworthy and 217 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: really good play for this. 218 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 5: Steve, I've never seen nothing like this, Like I've never 219 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 5: been in the locker room in all my years of 220 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 5: NBA to where you have a player who's relationship with 221 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 5: the coaches fractured beyond repair, especially a young guy like that, 222 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 5: especially a young talent like that, but even like older guys, 223 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 5: I didn't seen coaches themn here about the fight players. 224 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: The next day they cool and then like I've never 225 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,359 Speaker 5: heard of no situation like this, a fractured, beyond repair relationship. 226 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 4: You don't like who else in the league. 227 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 5: Can you think of to where you where somebody's fractured 228 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 5: relationship with the coach right now? 229 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: It's where you're like, they just don't get it. 230 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 5: Like even when Jimmy was doing that in Miami, he 231 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 5: was still playing, you know what I'm saying, Like they. 232 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 4: Was you know what I'm saying. 233 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 3: So I think it was just I think it was 234 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 3: more usually his front office or they have a disagreement 235 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 3: with extension, problems with. 236 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 4: GI Yeah, do with some brand or something, but like, 237 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: damn another thing. 238 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: Logan Murdoch a for the former colleague of mine at 239 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 2: the Ringer Bay Area. Guy pretty well connected with the team. 240 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 2: He's talked to people around the situation, and he said, look, Dramond, Steph, Jimmy, 241 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: they don't really have a problem with kaminga. Conveniently, those 242 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: are the only three players on the team who make 243 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: more money than him. Yeah, and the other guys who 244 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: are playing, who are contributing, and looking at this guy's attitude, 245 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: it's like, you don't even hope when you play and 246 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: you're making the organization paid you twenty four and a 247 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 2: half million dollars this summer. 248 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: That's way more than we making.

This one's tough, this one. I'm just 264 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: saying in general, like if it's a situation where I 265 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: can try to find a way to get that player's 266 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: stock up, it's like, all we've been a professional.

I'm a Jimmy Buckets fanatic. 329 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: I don't think he's the type of guy that moves 330 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: the needle on tickets. 331 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: Sit. 332 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 3: I'm saying, you have Kaminga and Jimmy, and you have 333 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: them both somewhere, and you can get somebody, I don't think. So. 334 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: You don't think a team will take that type of 335 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 3: package for a good like a really good player. 336 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: I think the team would look at Jimmy's contract next 337 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: year is expiring. There's something tantalizing about that, that he 338 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: would be on the last year of his deal coming 339 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: off for the A c L. 340 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: But if you, I don't know, like, if you, that 341 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,359 Speaker 1: would have to be just a bad team. 342 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: And even then they're gonna be looking at it like 343 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: you want to park this money with us, We want 344 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: something back, like the guys towards a CL like. 345 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: So you have no faith in him coming back and 346 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 3: being decent. 347 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: I have faith in it. I just that's how teams negotiate. Yeah, 348 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: they always try to make it seem like you're sending 349 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: them bad and need to give them more. 350 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 3: So, Jimmy, I think you can still sell. 351 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: I believe in Jimmy. 352 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: I think if he comes back next year and go 353 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: stayed as an improved roster, I believe that they have 354 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: the potential. 355 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: To do something sell him to another organization as like, Yo, 356 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: this is still a really good piece to help you. Milwaukee. 357 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 3: Can you do a comingo Jimmy and try to get 358 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 3: a honest. 359 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: No, Bucks fans would be infuriated by a move like. 360 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: But Jimmy's done to Milwaukee the last five years. 361 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: Dude, the guy with one year left on his deal 362 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: and the dude that has never shown anything in Golden State. 363 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: For the best player in the history of my franchise 364 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: might be starting the All Star Game this year.

I don't get it. 525 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: I got nothing against Rich. I don't understand why you 526 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 2: have a podcast. 527 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: You're a You're not a fucking player.

I'm 531 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: not an agent because agents can't have podcasts. 532 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 3: So this is podcast, Paul said, Yes, this is podcast. 533 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 3: This is podcast Paul. When I'm here, you call me 534 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: podcast Paul agent right now because agents aren't allowed to 535 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 3: have podcasts, is what he says. So don't call me 536 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 3: an agent for the next hour that I'm on this show. 537 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 2: So, just just because Austin reason is saying agents can't 538 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: do this. 539 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: He said, well, for this hour, I'm nobody's agents. I'm 540 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: just a guy talking about the NBA. 541 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: Right, that's my displeasure about what this guy was doing, 542 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 2: just like talking about his client's teammates. 543 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean again, I said, I know where he's 544 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 3: coming from. I didn't see anything wrong with it until 545 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: I was listening to another pod earlier. That perspective is 546 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 3: like his word holds a different weight than other people's. 547 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 3: So it's like when you like what you're saying. Of course, 548 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: everybody is saying these things, so it's not nothing new, 549 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: but when you say it, it holds a different type 550 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 3: of value, and it's like that's where some people have 551 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 3: an issue with it. I don't have issue with it. Again, 552 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 3: don't I'm not opposed to people have a podcast that 553 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: are not players, Like a lot of people have podcasts, 554 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 3: not every Again, I said this before and now everybody 555 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 3: deserves a platform. Sure, I'm okay with certain guys having 556 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 3: a platform and rich it gives you inside scoop of 557 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 3: what an agent's like. Max will give you inside scoop 558 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 3: of what it's like to be a mediahead. So I 559 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 3: enjoy that type of content. I don't mind it, but again, 560 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 3: you know, there's a line that you're teetering. There's certain 561 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,719 Speaker 3: things you could not discuss surpribly. Stay away from talking 562 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 3: about the Lakers and trade moves. You can talk about 563 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: other people, But I feel like you're messing with a 564 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 3: line there when you're discussing one of your clients, like 565 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 3: were your biggest clients teammates? So but yeah, I'm okay 566 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 3: with other people. 567 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: You Know's agent ran upon him at the Laker game 568 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: directly after they. 569 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 3: Said they had a conversation they talked about. 570 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: About.

No, I'm not saying that. 672 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: I think Max is one of the most talented people 673 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 2: in our industry. I have a deep respect and admiration 674 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: for Max. I'm a fan of his work. I think 675 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: Rich Paul is obviously a compelling figure that people want 676 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 2: to hear what he has to say because of. 677 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 4: All the things that he's achieved. 678 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: However, that doesn't mean he gets up want to show 679 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: it automatically. Is good at it? I was. That's what 680 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying. 681 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 2: He's not good at it right now, and if he was, 682 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 2: it would have went down a little bit differently than 683 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: it did. 684 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. 685 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, in order to get good at things, 686 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: you gotta take him seriously. 687 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 3: For sure. I don't think he's not taking it serious. 688 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 3: I think he's taking his lumps. I don't think he's 689 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 3: bad at and I don't see anything wrong with how 690 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 3: he said it. I think he worded it just fine. 691 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: It's because he's the It's not the message, it's the messenger. 692 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 3: You would not have an issue with somebody else. If 693 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 3: Max said what he said, there would not be no. 694 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying Max, But what if it was 695 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: like Aaron Mint to something you would you think people 696 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: would have been like, no, it's fine. 697 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: He's one of the most powerful agents in the NBA. 698 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 2: But if his main bottle it comes out and trades 699 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: his client's teammates. 700 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: People would be like, what the fuck maybe said? It 701 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 3: depends on who his clients are now, if they speaking 702 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 3: about it, if he's talking on the Lakers, and his 703 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,239 Speaker 3: main clients jokers and they don't give a fuck. But he's 704 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: talking about Denver, then yes, it's the messenger, it's not 705 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 3: the message. So that doesn't make him bad because I 706 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 3: just don't think that makes him bad because no, I'm. 707 00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: Not saying he's bad. 708 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: Damn saying you're an obviously powerful person.

I like my starting lineup 826 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 4: better for Bron. 827 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 3: And grandfather than for sure, Yeah, and deserving of it. 828 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 6: Yeah. 829 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 2: I think that was the biggest thing I saw one 830 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 2: about Edwards not starting over Steph. 831 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 3: Because Gold is age four, right, something like that. 832 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 7: It's Steph Curry, He's having a great I don't know 833 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 7: what I was thinking about the averaging more than his 834 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 7: numbers are supposed. 835 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 2: As having an incredible year. I'm just saying, like, it's. 836 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 3: It's still yeah again, if you're gonna do with that, 837 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 3: it's Lebron. 838 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: I just think Stephan is way. 839 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 2: I think Stephan way closer than what Luca and and 840 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 2: and Bron Broun have put together as a season. I 841 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 2: don't think it's it's it's comparable, you. 842 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: Know what I mean? 843 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 2: Uh, but you know I would love to see Bron 844 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 2: getting there. I told you my bias is towards the 845 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 2: older guys. I think the younger guys is like, Bro, 846 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 2: you got plenty of years to make starters and do. 847 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 1: All of this improve your point. 848 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 3: If they did it like East versus West and old school, 849 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 3: I could see somebody giving up their starting position to 850 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 3: Bron so to start, but they do. 851 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 5: You know that happened when I was with Vincent and Mike. Yeah, yeah, 852 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 5: that was like my first All Star Game. It was 853 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 5: in Philadelphia when Vince was voted the starter and he 854 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 5: gave it to Mike. 855 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 4: I remember that. 856 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 2: It's a beautiful gesture ended up being a legendary All 857 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 2: Star Game, And what do. 858 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: We got for the East starters? We got other ones. 859 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,760 Speaker 2: We picked bro Yeah, Giannis, Cade, Brunson, Maxie and Brown. 860 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 3: That's that's what. 861 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Paul picks Scottie Barnes instead of Maxie 862 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: to start. Yeah, how do you feel about the only. 863 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 3: Other person again that I thought that could have been 864 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 3: would have been don Donovan Mitchell. 865 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 4: Sure. 866 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see Donovan Mitchell making the case that 867 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 2: he's having a better season than Maxie or perhaps Brunson 868 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 2: or something there. 869 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 3: They're there. I think they might be winning a little 870 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 3: more than Philly is, but he's not having a better 871 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 3: season Max. 872 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 2: I mean, the Knicks are like two and eight, so 873 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 2: you can't even use the winning for Jal. 874 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 3: But when it comes to numbers, Maxie's top five and 875 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 3: score like he's having an unbelievable year when it comes 876 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 3: to like playing wise, but Cleveland. 877 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: Is phil four in a row. 878 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 3: You lost Philly's number five. I thought Phillies below Cleveland. 879 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, they have they have no they have no 880 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 3: argument there. But don is a more senior All Star, 881 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 3: are a veteran, like he would normally get a starting spot, 882 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 3: but because they're not so good and Tyree's having unbeli 883 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 3: layer deserves that start. 884 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 2: That's the funny thing about expectations, Paul is like, Donovan 885 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 2: is having an incredible season by any standard, but because 886 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 2: Cleveland is underachieved relative to what everybody thought they were 887 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,760 Speaker 2: gonna accomplish this year, there's like a sort of cloud 888 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 2: over his season. 889 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 3: And but even if they underachieved, it was better than Philly, 890 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 3: he would have been a sto. Like they're just way 891 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 3: below being at seven. 892 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: That's crazy. 893 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 3: He won sixty four games last year. Yeah, like you 894 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 3: can go to the five pace. 895 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 2: To lose about forty seven more games I mean, sorry, 896 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 2: seventeen more games this season if you were at least 897 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 2: five seed. 898 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're going from sixty plus wins to like forty plus. 899 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 3: Bro, what if they were a five seen the Philly 900 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 3: was six, then he might have got in, like y'all 901 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 3: went from one to seven. 902 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 4: And he'll still making the All Star team. 903 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: He's gonna make the team.

Like so when you 983 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 2: talk about i Q, that's not just kicking somebody's ass 984 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: in a one on one basketball game and scoring Like 985 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 2: we need that and every team needs that. That's a 986 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 2: valuable but in terms of being a well rounded basketball player, 987 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 2: you got to do more than that. 988 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it. 989 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 2: Feels like that's kind of just intrinsic to the European game. 990 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 2: It's just like a team concept in terms of how 991 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 2: they approach the game. And you know, most of these guys, 992 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 2: whether you're talking about a Wenby or a yokicch even 993 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 2: Luca to an extent, these guys like know how to 994 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 2: play unselfishly, get off. 995 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: The ball, read the court well. 996 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 3: They know all the fundamentals that yeah, passball, they how 997 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 3: to shoot, maybe not defense, but offensively, they know all 998 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 3: the skills very well. They all play as if they're 999 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 3: a point guard and they're smart enough to be a 1000 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 3: point guard at every position. 1001 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love to see our guys. I don't know. 1002 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: I would love to see a. 1003 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 2: System that rewarded just smarter winning basketball, you know, like 1004 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 2: actually executing your pick and roll assignment every single time, 1005 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 2: understanding what you're doing on the weak side strong side. 1006 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 3: So question, who do you think is our next American MVP? Like, 1007 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 3: who do you think can get it for us? And 1008 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 3: can we get in there? You think he gets one 1009 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 3: of the near future in the next five years. 1010 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,959 Speaker 2: Yes, it's gonna it's gonna have to be in because 1011 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 2: if it's not, we're gonna have to wait for Cooper Flag. 1012 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 3: I mean, there's some some some young guys coming in 1013 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 3: ag of the bed, like maybe. 1014 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,800 Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham has the potential. 1015 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 4: And Caen Brown, I'm not. 1016 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 3: Jalen Jason Tatum. 1017 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 2: You know what, man, if the Celtics, if Jalen Brown 1018 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 2: plays like how he played in December. 1019 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,319 Speaker 5: The way Joker and Shay are playing right now, yeah, 1020 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:33,879 Speaker 5: it's gonna be playing like. 1021 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 2: It's just gonna be tough to match their level because, 1022 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 2: as Paul says, Man, these guys are playing at all 1023 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 2: time great levels in. 1024 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: Terms of their offensive output. 1025 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 3: That rule, a sixty five game rule kicks in at 1026 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 3: some point. But I think Ann could get there. I 1027 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 3: think I think Kate. I like Kate, I like it 1028 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,280 Speaker 3: a lot. I think he can get there even Jaalen. 1029 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 2: Like if if if Tatum comes back in a slightly 1030 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 2: diminished as a slightly diminished offensive player and the burden 1031 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 2: shifts more to Jalen and Boston becomes a sixty win 1032 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 2: team again, I can see Jalen getting into the especially 1033 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 2: the narrative conversation of somebody who started out as the 1034 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 2: second option, and I could see some narrative thrust getting 1035 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 2: behind them. 1036 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 1: But but the man, but the prow said is right. 1037 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,439 Speaker 5: The problem with our American players is like everything has 1038 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,439 Speaker 5: to go right for them to get MVP. 1039 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 4: Like they have to be the top seed, like the 1040 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,959 Speaker 4: very top seed, you know what I'm saying, whereas like. 1041 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 5: Joker or Shaye, they could be top three seed, can 1042 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 5: be like you know, Luca, Luca ever finished in the 1043 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 5: top three seed, he'll be MV me because just numbers wise, 1044 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 5: there's nobody that can match these guys. I mean, it's 1045 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 5: the closest one you know where these guys are average. 1046 00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 3: Every category rebounds like every ridiculous. 1047 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 5: And then now Wimby, now he's gonna be He's gonna 1048 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 5: every next years. 1049 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 4: So it's gonna be difficult. 1050 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's looking bad for for us. Man, they're taking 1051 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,919 Speaker 2: our jobs, Chris, all right, man, So we're going from 1052 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 2: All Star to just just smoke. 1053 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: It's smoked time, Man's smoke time. 1054 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 2: We finally get some smoke From some other podcasts. Draymond 1055 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,919 Speaker 2: Green did not like what Paul Pierce had to say 1056 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 2: about MAX players and who's deserving of it? Please roll 1057 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 2: this Draymond clip, because boy did he getting Paul's ass. 1058 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 3: He didn't watch the whole He watched the whole clip 1059 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 3: of ours, though I don't I feel. 1060 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 6: Like Oh, Pierce says, there's only three players in the 1061 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 6: NBA worth the mass contract, Wimby Joker and s g 1062 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 6: a Man Chasing Tatum, not Yanna's not worth for Max, 1063 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 6: Jaylen Brown, Steph Curry. You mean to tell me none 1064 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 6: of these guys are worth max contrac So then what 1065 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 6: Paul Pierce is saying is he was never worth a 1066 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,439 Speaker 6: MAX contract. You named three guys, and when Paul Pierce 1067 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 6: was in the league, Kobe was in the league, so 1068 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 6: it definitely wasn't Kobe. Paul Pierce spent some time in 1069 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 6: the league with Michael Jordan, definitely wasn't Michael. Kevin Garnett 1070 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 6: definitely wasn't Kevin. Tim Duncan definitely wasn't Tim Duncan. So 1071 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 6: pretty much Paul Pierce was never max player either. If 1072 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,360 Speaker 6: his notion is what works, there are some guys that 1073 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 6: get Max through the circumstance. But to say there's only three, 1074 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 6: and also to leave off man like if you want 1075 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 6: to say Steph not bron not because of their age. Cool. 1076 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:33,919 Speaker 6: You can say, oh man, I don't want to get 1077 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 6: that guy four year max because I get it. 1078 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,399 Speaker 4: But to say they're not max at all just. 1079 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 6: Another idiotic thing that Paul Pierson spewed into the world 1080 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 6: and that we must live. 1081 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 2: So He's what I think Jamond was trying to say 1082 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,959 Speaker 2: in his argument is that one Paul Pierce did earn 1083 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 2: max contracts in his career in the NBA. 1084 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: The max at the time that he played. 1085 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 2: What he's saying is you wouldn't say you were a 1086 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 2: Duncan or Garnet or Kobe. 1087 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: So by your standard, you weren't. 1088 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 5: A max player. No, not by my standard, I was 1089 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 5: not a max player. Okay, So if I do a 1090 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 5: pyramid of the tears, who would be at the top 1091 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 5: of the pyramid of today NBA? Joker, Wimby and I 1092 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:25,319 Speaker 5: missed Jonas Jnis be right there and it's creeping right now, like. 1093 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 7: He's like like a slight tier below them, like because 1094 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,319 Speaker 7: like you feel like if you get one of them 1095 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:36,399 Speaker 7: four players any team in the league, they turned your 1096 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 7: whole franchise around. Now I understand the circumstances where you 1097 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 7: get the MAX. But if we did it like on 1098 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 7: just like Tears, you know, I wouldn't have been a Max. 1099 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 5: Was you know, Dunkan, KG Shack, Kobe. God, damn we 1100 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 5: had about tiers, you know what I'm saying that damn 1101 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 5: and so. But like if you did it like that, 1102 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 5: like dude, we put Jalen or Jason up there with 1103 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 5: Shaye and Joker. 1104 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 4: They're great players and my guys too, But like those. 1105 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 1: Guys by separated them. 1106 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 5: They separated themselves because they're in the MVP conversations every year. 1107 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 3: I think Jalen has creeped up into that conversation this year. 1108 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,280 Speaker 1: You think he's a Yanis level kind of guy. 1109 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 3: No, but he's creeped up into being one of the 1110 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:28,320 Speaker 3: best two way players. 1111 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:28,359 Speaker 4: In the game. 1112 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1113 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, But I'm talking about guys that are going to 1114 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 5: be repeatedly in the MVP conversation every single Yes, that 1115 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 5: was that guy, Yes, Bron was that guy. Yes, KD 1116 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 5: was that guy? Not No more so like Harden was 1117 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,840 Speaker 5: that just And it's just like now what I'm seeing 1118 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 5: And the reason I said that is because now franchises 1119 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 5: are crippling their. 1120 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,439 Speaker 4: Cap space for a guy that's not at that tear. 1121 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 1: So are you talking about like a Franzen a Pollo. 1122 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 5: That may get the max, but like dang, Now, if 1123 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,800 Speaker 5: they're not good enough to get us to a finals, 1124 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 5: we're stuck on the running in place for like the 1125 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 5: next five six years. And so now we're seeing the trend. 1126 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,239 Speaker 5: These guys are trading these guys. They're trading guys. They 1127 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 5: want to trade Jaw because like Joh' is a MAX guy, right, 1128 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 5: but now owners are. 1129 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,240 Speaker 4: Like, dude, I want to pay him the MAX. 1130 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 5: To keep us, you know, on the treadmills running in 1131 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 5: place for the next five years. And so that's why 1132 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 5: I said what I said, these guys are the true 1133 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 5: MAX guys. 1134 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. Okay, So where I agree with you. 1135 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 2: Is the Jaw, LaMelo, Trey Young, all these guys that 1136 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 2: coming off of their rookie MAX extension like on their 1137 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 2: next deal, which we already saw with Trey Young, no 1138 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 2: dead on arrival, no MAX extension for you.

I could again one. 1189 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 3: Ben Carro, maybe book I got. I gave you to Book. 1190 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 3: There is probably another one or two guys else. But 1191 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,680 Speaker 3: those are ten guys right there. I even named Luca, 1192 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 3: but I could do Luca too. I could so all 1193 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 3: those guys. 1194 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 5: And this is what I think, Like, who out of 1195 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 5: all those guys you believe can be the best player 1196 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 5: on a championship team. 1197 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 3: Probably seven to eight of them, I think so. I mean, 1198 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 3: Jaylen Brown and Jays Tatum definitely could proven proven that. 1199 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 3: SGA has proven that. I think Cave could for sure. 1200 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:59,279 Speaker 3: I think Book could. Course we have this winby yeah, 1201 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 3: I think good. I hate to tell like I think 1202 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 3: most of them. 1203 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: But again, you know, just to just to reiterate. 1204 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 3: Jaylen Brunton is the one, like he's smaller guards. So 1205 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,479 Speaker 3: that's the one that's like if right. 1206 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,919 Speaker 2: I think somebody like Darius Garland, who on his rookie deal, 1207 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 2: his extension was considered a no brainer max rookie extension, 1208 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 2: his next deal is not going to be a MAX extension, 1209 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,800 Speaker 2: no comfortable. He's a little older now, he's like twenty 1210 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 2: nine or whatever. But I don't think he's gonna get 1211 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 2: some Donovan Mitchell. He's gonna get some five year MAX extension. 1212 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,480 Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen for him. 1213 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 3: I don't see why not. Yeah, I don't see why not. 1214 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 4: Why not? 1215 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:36,839 Speaker 3: He's still playing at a high level. 1216 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:37,840 Speaker 1: He can give you. 1217 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 3: He's still pretty much. 1218 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,400 Speaker 1: A lot of guys they's gonna be like, yo, well three. 1219 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 3: Years by your standard. No, but by the league standard. Yes, 1220 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 3: he's the only one producer and he's shown up every 1221 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 3: now he's most available on your group right now. 1222 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna offer him five years at 1223 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 2: a max number. 1224 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 1: You lose them. 1225 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 5: But I think that's where we are in the state 1226 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 5: of the NBA. These guys are like, do I pay 1227 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 5: him the max or do I just. 1228 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he's about replacing him. 1229 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 2: It's kind of just like I don't maybe I just 1230 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:08,720 Speaker 2: move on from second round mediocrity a different direction. 1231 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 4: It's not going to be start coming in doing. 1232 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 3: Reason why you're second round mediocre. I think it's the 1233 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,200 Speaker 3: pieces around. 1234 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 5: Him, I would, Okay, So now I sign him to 1235 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 5: the super Max. 1236 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 4: How do you improve those pieces? 1237 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 3: You gotta Like again, I've been saying Cleveland is making trade. 1238 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 4: For all this year, like for another super Max player. 1239 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 3: Maybe so, but you got the two bigs that numbre 1240 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 3: one of each of those, like the matchup a big 1241 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 3: and a guard with a Jared Allen and Daris going 1242 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 3: together to get somebody else better. 1243 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,520 Speaker 2: Like, so here's my thing about Like you got a 1244 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 2: three staring about that Evan get one another also that 1245 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 2: fits the thing. 1246 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: About and I don't think that's a horrible idea. 1247 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like we got to acknowledge when people 1248 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 2: complain about Cleveland's small backcourt, Donovan mitch. 1249 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: Is one of those small for sure. 1250 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 2: That's why you have to get he's one of those 1251 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 2: people that's getting smoked on defense and playoff matchups. 1252 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 3: Get rid of one of the I know. 1253 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm just saying like he's part of the problem.
