Speaker 1: in how a fan would receive it, but I can

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,360

00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: That's because I was I was killing.

00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: We would not forget that moment in time.

41
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: I was killing before it happened.

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: Let's just relax ourselves. We would not forget the sad time.

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: If you need to practice, dummy man, I'm here.

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: You know I appreciate your generality.

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: In today's episode, we'll discuss the recent trades, share our

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: reactions just from the season, from the finals, NBA Draft,

47
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: and then also with the conclusion of this season that

48
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: means I am headed into my fourteenth season.

49
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: Crazy wow, unbelievable.

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about all that stuff, but let's just

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: get at it. Uh KD was that fanatics fast which

52
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: we just spoke about in the middle of an interview

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: when he was traded to the Houston Rockets, And there

54
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: are some conspiracy theories floating around. So I must have

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: asked you before we get into the trade, what side

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: of the conspiracy theory to use? That though, they said

57
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: kat chose for that news to come come out on

58
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: Sunday because he wanted do overshadow the thunder. I personally,

59
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't think KT is that type of guy. But

60
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: that's what people try to say.

61
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: No, I ain't rocking with that.

62
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: That's great, man, I can't about that. I can't rock

63
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: with the conspiracy theories.

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: A lot of times, you know, these trades they happen,

65
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: and they just happened, like the desperation of the team

66
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: to get it done, and then information travel fast in

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: our sport, right, So Katie, the players the last person

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: an that.

69
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: They're getting traded.

70
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: Fact always so him finding out on stage and you

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: know at the festival for fanatics, that could possibly be

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 4: you know real. I mean, maybe he knew, maybe he

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: had to just like he I mean, maybe he knew

74
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: it was coming. But at the same time, doing the interview,

75
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 4: the fan reaction, right, and the.

76
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: Call out from the fan. That's what I liked about

77
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: the content.

78
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, seeing fans and seeing how media travels

79
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 4: so fast, you know, now the player is really the

80
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 4: last person to know. If you're not on social media

81
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: or like a KD, you don't feel like asking.

82
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: Your phone for two days, you shouldn't.

83
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: Then everybody find out that you find you know, and

84
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: then you find out like damn for real?

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Is it possible that we can create this situation for everyone?

86
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: Like you think about how many guys have the bad

87
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: story Harrison Ball can trade a while on the bench,

88
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Cousins getting traded, finding out he's traded in the

89
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: middle of an interview after the All Star Game? Do

90
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: you think that this is a way the NBA? Like,

91
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: should this be a requirement for the NBA? Just like

92
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: for guys not to look stupid or you know, because

93
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: those as happy as Katie was right like for most

94
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: to your point, for most guys, they could find that

95
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: out sitting on that stage and they don't know.

96
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: Right I think.

97
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm kind of like yes and no, because

98
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: part of working for a team, or part of being

99
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: on team management is you know what if you just

100
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: want to trade somebody just because you think it's a

101
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: good deal, now you got I mean, if you're saying

102
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 4: the first person, I think the first person that should

103
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: be told is the actual player.

104
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

105
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with yeah.

106
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: Because I think, you know, for most for most players, right,

107
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: like of course you're not going to be in the

108
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: driver's seat like Kevin Durant was, But there should be

109
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: some type of system, some type of fine system, like yo,

110
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: just get out before these players and this player's camp

111
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: is alerted, like that's an.

112
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: Issue, you know what. But I think that should Yeah,

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: go ahead.

114
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: I think there should be ultimately some type of guideline

115
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: to be uphell you know that, because it can be

116
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: a great thing, right, But at the same time, like

117
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: just finding out wherever your feet.

118
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 4: That's crazy, it's Hella gray, right because think about it,

119
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 4: like the media is always gonna find out before you

120
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: that you got traded because they the one doing all

121
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: the digging, right, so soon as the trade happened one

122
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 4: side on the other side, I mean, obviously they should

123
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 4: contact the player, but the player is still gonna feel like.

124
00:06:59,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: He didn't know.

125
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, right.

126
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: I remember getting traded from the Clippers to Cleveland, and

127
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: Bennie del Nagro sat down and was like, oh man,

128
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: you know, we like what we like, what we like,

129
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: We're gonna sit you down.

130
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: You know, don't even worry about playing. Don't worry about

131
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: playing New Orleans.

132
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: I'm in the.

133
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: Locker room and the media lady came up to me,

134
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: She's like, you know, you're getting traded, right. I was like,

135
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: hell no, for real? You know, I was like, hell no,

136
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: for real, bro. It was shocked. I was shocked, right,

137
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: I was shocked.

138
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: So how did you react to that?

139
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: Though? Like him? Uh, you know, I still fire. I

140
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: still fire.

141
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 4: But by the time the game was over, by the

142
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: time I got to the bus, they was like, well,

143
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: the train ain't happening.

144
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: It ain't happening yet. I gotta say, you know, I.

145
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: Got family in New Orleans, say buy to my family,

146
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: get on the bus, and then on my teammates finding

147
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: out right it looked like.

148
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: Then we get on the plane and it happened.

149
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: So I got to fly back home with the Clippers,

150
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 4: with Bennie Del Nagro, all the players on the team.

151
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: So I decided that, you know, I've been quiet over

152
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: here for two and a half years. I ain't really

153
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: said that, I ain't really said nothing to nobody. I've been,

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 4: you know, keeping it low key. So I just went

155
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 4: up to each person and just kind of told him

156
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: how I felt about him and how I'm gonna continue

157
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: to feel about Some of it was love, some of

158
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: it was just like, you know, critique, but it was

159
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: more so like I wasn't really trip by the time

160
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 4: I got off the plane, I wasn't really tripping anyway, right,

161
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: I was like, it is what it is. But it

162
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: was important for me to kind of like get that

163
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: angst off my chest because I was, you know, you

164
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 4: did with some when you're not winning, you dealing with

165
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 4: some busters. And at a certain point of the league,

166
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 4: the league was shifting to like where it is now,

167
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 4: so there was gonna be a conflict between what's old

168
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: and what's new. That they work hard for it or

169
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: they entitled like we had to do all this, they

170
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: not doing nothing, you know. And then to your point,

171
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 4: like the media knowing management not really, I'm you know,

172
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: I got beef with management, so it can happen at

173
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: any time. They did approach me and ask me for

174
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: a buyout, which I probably should have took, uh, you know,

175
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: considering the circumstances that if I look back, it wasn't

176
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: as bad a deal as I thought it would would be.

177
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: To like get up out of there. But yeah, I

178
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 4: just let everybody know how I feel. Sat down with everybody,

179
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: sat down with the young dudes, like DJ told them, like, yo, bro,

180
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: like you could you could do something, you know, like

181
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: don't get caught up and all the shit that you

182
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: saw me caught up in. You know, just just hoop.

183
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: You know, it's gonna be different front for you, you know

184
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.

185
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: So question, after this happened and you could have taken

186
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the buyout but you didn't, your next deal, what was

187
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: your next deal you signed after this contract that you

188
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: were currently thinking about taking the buyout on, what was

189
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: the next deal you signed?

190
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: I think it was like this was like my uh,

191
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: I was already like two years into my last deal,

192
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 4: so my next deal was like a two year deal

193
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: because I was hurt.

194
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 3: But how much like was it more than minimum? Now?

195
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't need to I think it was like a

196
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: round the minimum.

197
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 3: Okay, Because the question I had was, I feel like.

198
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: When you do take bios in this league, where you

199
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: say it may have been a great situation, but I

200
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: feel like when you do take bios in this it's

201
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: almost hard to get off the minimum from that point

202
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: over four.

203
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, well, I would have probably not been hurt.

204
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: Went to Charlotte right, got a chance to get back

205
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 4: with Jay Rich and stack in the East Coast, so

206
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: I won't worry about the minimum, you know what I mean,

207
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: because I was still I was still one of the

208
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: illest uh huh. But it was just I was playing

209
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: for the Clippers, okay, right, And so it was hard.

210
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 4: It was hard to wake up every day, and you

211
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: gotta deal with so much drama before you can actually

212
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: play basketball. You gotta do all this talking before you

213
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: can shoot a basketball. You gotta do all this scouting

214
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: and all this shit. And it's like, man, can we

215
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 4: just play five on five one day and everybody shut

216
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: the fuck up?

217
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Like that's how we get better?

218
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 4: Right, But it was just, you know, it was just

219
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: like where you know, it just warmed me. It just

220
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 4: warmed me. So but I was still good and I

221
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: was still you know, I can get whatever numbers at

222
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: that point, I can get whatever numbers I wanted, depending

223
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: on how to floor the game or what my perspective

224
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: of the game. So leaving I probably would have had

225
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: a better opportunity to, Like I was not hurt to

226
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: pick up and then take off again somewhere else, right, Okay.

227
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: But speaking of the trade, biomarkus all that.

228
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: Obviously the Phoenix Suns has agreed on the Blockbussel trade

229
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: said at fifteen times NBA All Star two time final

230
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: MVP Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green,

231
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks, the number ten pick in this year's NBA Drive,

232
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: and five second round picks. So just taking that into account,

233
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: obviously the deal is done. Now, you know, what's your

234
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: take on these new little Rockets at Kdan?

235
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: You know, man, that was gonna be That was gonna

236
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 4: be my question to you. You know, I've been saying

237
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: that KD is an upgrade when you think about what

238
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 4: the Rockets needed. They need efficient scoring and what KD

239
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: brings in presence his offensive awareness, his defensive awareness, his

240
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 4: overall I'm aiming to win a championship. I think it's

241
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 4: a fair trade, right. I wanted to know how you

242
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: felt because I was analyzing y'all game and y'all series

243
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: as the reason why this trade happened. Because when you

244
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: look at a Jalen Green and you look at Dylan

245
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 4: Brooks and you say, when they played well.

246
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: Did the Rockets win more than likely?

247
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm saying no. In in that series against Golden State,

248
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 4: right in that series, Jalen Green had one great game,

249
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 4: right they won. Dylan Brooks, let's say he was as consistent.

250
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: He was consistent, right, he didn't like he had a

251
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: consistent series. Jalen Green had an up and down series.

252
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: Right now, you start looking at who could they rely on?

253
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: Van flicks and go and Thompson yep, and so Thompson leaped.

254
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: From I would say that Here's what I was saying,

255
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: No one gives some credit.

256
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: But also I thought Javari Smith was.

257
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: That's what I was saying. Yes, I thought so too.

258
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: And I thought Jabari Smith worked his way back from

259
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: almost going the wrong way as the number two pick

260
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: to like hold on, I don't like I can compete

261
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: at this level. And I think he worked his way

262
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: back and will probably be in the our lineup on

263
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: this Rockets team moving forward, and I think well deserved.

264
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: So you know, when I look at it, and you

265
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: know you mentioned those two guys that listen, anytime you

266
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: can add Kevin Durant, it's an upgrade. I don't care

267
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: who you are as a team, any team in the

268
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: world in basketball.

269
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: If you add Kevin Durant, it's an upgrade.

270
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: Now you start speaking on like if you add Kevin

271
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: Durant for Steph Curry.

272
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: Now those are different conversations.

273
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: But if you're just in this case, you know, or

274
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: in most cases, you add Kevin Durant to the roster,

275
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be an upgrade. So make no mistake

276
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: about it. You know, everybody trying to make like these

277
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: conversation pieces. It's Katie. You add him to the roster,

278
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: Your roster is better. Now you talk about now, if

279
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: you want to discuss the business of basketball, then you

280
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: have a different discussion when you start talking about salary

281
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: and what happens with caps, and that's a totally different question.

282
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: But that's not what we're talking about here. What we're

283
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: talking about here is you add Katie to that team,

284
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: it's that team better. And where they struggled was you know,

285
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: Jalen had a very tough playoff series. You'd like to

286
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: think if he had a better playoff series, they win.

287
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Who knows, but you'd like to at least think that

288
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks was, like you said, he was consistent all year.

289
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: He played well, he shot the ball really well this year.

290
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks is who he is. On a contract, like

291
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks own, you will always kind of be the

292
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: throw in piece, yeah, you know, and that's just kind

293
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: of the nature nature of the business. I don't think

294
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks was traded because Dylan Brooks did anything wrong.

295
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: And in this situation, I think Dylan Brooks was traded because,

296
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: quite honestly, that's how this business works. And your contract

297
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: make the money work. They wont Kevin Durant, your contract.

298
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: Make the money work.

299
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at the way this

300
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: team has been built, of course they're going to trade

301
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: throw throw Dylan saying to make that money work. Before

302
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: they throw Jabbar's smith in Orf they throw Taris like

303
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: these these young guys that were drafted by this general manager.

304
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: Now Jalen Green Russ as well.

305
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: He ain't gonna just get rid of all the people

306
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: he drafted, you know, he got rid of one. And

307
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: so I think when I look at this, it's an upgrade.

308
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: KD has his familiarity with Amy Doka as a coach.

309
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: I think KD still wants to compete at a high level,

310
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: and I think this team like when you look at

311
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: the rosters of everywhere, we heard KD may go, this

312
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: team did the least gutting of a roster that a

313
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 1: team may have had to do to make it up

314
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: still to still make it upgrade and still keep keep

315
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: the roster in a good spot. So that's what I

316
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: think happens for the Rockets. That's that's the way I

317
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: think it looks for them.

318
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: For KD.

319
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: Talk about Phoenix on the other hand, I think it's

320
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: a little different situation. But for the Rockets, I think

321
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: it's good. Also shout out to freddie v got a

322
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: new to deal to.

323
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: Stay with the Rockets. Well, uh, the way I saw

324
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: him lead that team in the playoffs.

325
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: Like, and they're gonna need his leadership. They're gonna need

326
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: his leadership with that team. I think with with with

327
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: Fred's demeanor and how Fred go about things, and with

328
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: KD and how KD go about things, I think it'll

329
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: be a good match. Exactly some of the stuff that

330
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: Kate don't want to do, and people try to make

331
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: it like an indictment on ka his character. Know, there's

332
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: just some stuff that we're all human beings and there's

333
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: something we all have strengths. We all have weaknesses and

334
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: certain things that Kad don't like to do. Fred will

335
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: do that. And guess what, on a basketball team and

336
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: team sports, that's actually how it's supposed to work. And so,

337
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think this puts them in a really

338
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: good position. I think they're obviously gonna to be a

339
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: team to be racking with. You expect him going to

340
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: make a big jump after the playoffs he had, you know,

341
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: expect Tyres and all those guys that make jump. So

342
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. I think, you know, I think that

343
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: team is in a really good position, and I definitely

344
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: think it's an upgrade.

345
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: Shout out to our boy Frandvelan Fleick. Yeah, I mean,

346
00:19:21,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: I just I totally agree. But let's talk about the Sons.

347
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: The Sons get Jalen Green Dylan Brooks the tenth pick

348
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: of this year's draft, correct, Yeah, And so you think

349
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 4: about where are the Sons going, what.

350
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: Are they looking for?

351
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: You know, obviously they have three dynamic guards Jalen Green,

352
00:20:53,640 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: Bradley beal Uh, Devin Booker, And now that team will

353
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 4: adopt Dylan Brooks personality, right, which.

354
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: I think can help that team, by the way.

355
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: Ye, so talk to me, they.

356
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: Can help that team.

357
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: When I look at this Phoenix team, I don't think

358
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: they're done, you know. I think you can still expect

359
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: to see them be aggressive in whatever ways that they

360
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: can if I had to guess, you know, just just

361
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: having to look at the roster, you know.

362
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 3: But I think getting the tenth pick back is a

363
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: good start.

364
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: I think this drift, you can get some good value

365
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: at the tenth pick, some really good value at the

366
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: tenth pick.

367
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: So I think I think that's the start.

368
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: Uh, you get Dylan Brooks, whether they keep Jalen Green

369
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: or whether he's an asset that you can move somewhere else.

370
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: I think, you know, this is a start.

371
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: To what seems like, you know, I know, I know

372
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: Matt Ishpi, Matt Ishube is sparked dog. I can't ever

373
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: foresee Matt just throwing the top. But what seems like

374
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of it, I won't say rebuild, but

375
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: definitely a reset. I think this is this is the

376
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: start of that. But I think I still expect to

377
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: see them, probably with some more movements somewhere, because right

378
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: now on the roster.

379
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: It's a lot of shooting guards.

380
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 4: So you know, I was gonna say, it's a lot

381
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 4: of guards on the roster.

382
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: There's a lot of guards in this draft.

383
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 4: Looking at the tenth pick and thinking about a lot

384
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: of teams needs just watching, ok C, there can be

385
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 4: some more movement I think from Phoenix, Uh coming along,

386
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 4: but you know at Jalen Green, Devin Booker, dynamic is

387
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 4: excited to see. You know, I think if they can

388
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 4: figure out what they want to do with Bradley Beal

389
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: that it's going to be, you know, like we all

390
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 4: expected before, that's going to be the key to whatever Phoenix.

391
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: However they move forward or you know, stay the same,

392
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 4: but you know, they have some opportunities. I think the

393
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 4: draft could be something special for them if they can

394
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 4: get one of them versatile score forwards, a young forwards

395
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 4: to you know, not necessarily replace KD, but be someone

396
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 4: that the fans are excited about seeing, somebody young and exciting.

397
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 4: The fans are saying, I want to see. But moving

398
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 4: on reaction to Drew holiday Man getting traded to the

399
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 4: Blazers for Anthony Simon's and second round picks, what's your thoughts.

400
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: On Yeah, I think it's just funny to see Drew

401
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: traded back to the Blazers after the Celtius got him

402
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: from the Blazers in order to help them win the championship.

403
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: But in saying that, they say Drew don't want to

404
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: be there. I think that was the case the first

405
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: time he was traded there as well. But you know,

406
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: contract situation is different. I think he three years left

407
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: on the deal, so it's kind of not up to

408
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: you at this point. But we'll see what happens. But

409
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, you signed the contract. He is what it is.

410
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: So you know, the Blazers going to do us best

411
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: for them, and they've made that very clear. You know,

412
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: the best player in Blazer history wanted to be traded

413
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: to certain places and he wasn't traded to those places

414
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: that he wanted to be traded to. So they've shown

415
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: that as a franchise, they're going to do us best

416
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: for the Blazers.

417
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 3: You know.

418
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: So, and it's a good pick.

419
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: Tune to see how I play out.

420
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: But I think Drew can also whether if he stayed there,

421
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he can be a great asset

422
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: for Chance, you know, bridging that gap between Chance and

423
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: you know, these young guys and kind of being that

424
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: coach on the floor that veteran leader who's still got game.

425
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: So you know, I think still got a way to

426
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: see how to play out. But you know, this is

427
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: a team that is young and definitely rebuilt. So be

428
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: that as draft night. I think that's that that may

429
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: still shake.

430
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 4: Some Yeah, okay, yeah, I can see that's still shaking up.

431
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 4: But uh, you know the Anthony Simons with Boston, Uh,

432
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 4: for Drew, I can understand why Boston is doing this.

433
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: We can understand how he can fit in because Boston

434
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 4: doesn't really they need scoring. They need more scoring guards

435
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 4: now because of you know one I would say, Jason

436
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: Tatum going going down, you know, looking for for scoring

437
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: is their dynamic. Shooting threes is their dynamic. You got

438
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: another dude thinking really get out of stress the floor,

439
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 4: catch fire. I think it works in a system, But

440
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 4: for Drew, I think it's great for Portland and it's

441
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 4: great for Drew. You get to mentor you get to hoop.

442
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 4: You're gonna be in at the end of the games.

443
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: You don't have to worry about you know, you're gonna

444
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: be the closer, right and part of that closing team

445
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: for the Blazers, and you get to break scoop along

446
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: and I like what Portland had last year. If as

447
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 4: we get closer to see what they do, I'm gonna

448
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 4: probably call Portland as my sleeper team last year or

449
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: this year. You know, my sleeper team was Houston at

450
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 4: the beginning of the year. You see what they did.

451
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: So you know Portland, I've been looking at, analyzing if

452
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 4: they make a couple more moves and put a few

453
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 4: pieces together. I look at Portland as a team that

454
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 4: can make that jump because they young dudes, are talented

455
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 4: and play hard.

456
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: All right, well, we're going to see as the team

457
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: shape our free agency and even.

458
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: Started a right, That's what I'm saying.

459
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: Man, agency has not started, and this man given a

460
00:26:58,760 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: sleeper team.

461
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. What doing you know?

462
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 4: I'll be doing my scout man, I got a scale,

463
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 4: I got a scout, play GM.

464
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 2: I played GM at home.

465
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: Free free agency ain't started. The draft is just starting.

466
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: That this man is talking about who he got as

467
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: a sleeper. And listen, they also the Celtans also traded

468
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: at christophs Zinias to the Hawks. The Celtics. Listen, this

469
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: is all about the second Aprin. People said they didn't

470
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: want super teams anymore.

471
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 3: With her, you have it.

472
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: All these moves are being made to dodge that second april.

473
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: For those out there that don't know what the second

474
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: apron is, and Layman's turn for you.

475
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: It's a hard cap.

476
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 1: It is a hard cap that no owner is dealing

477
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: with because the penalties are crazy.

478
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 3: You lose draft picks, you.

479
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: Lose the mid level exception, you lose roster spots, you

480
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: lose the ability to get better and compete as a team,

481
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: and the amount of money that you lose is insanity.

482
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: And so the Boston Celtics would have had a salary

483
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: caps with luxury tax bill of five hundred and forty

484
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: million dollars. It is now at two eighty because they

485
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: got rid of those contracts. So for those that don't

486
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: understand what the second apron is, as as basic as

487
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: I can flitt it for you.

488
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: It is a hard cap.

489
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: And when I said this before the deal was the

490
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: sign that this is ridiculous and it's going to hurt players.

491
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: In the end, no one wanted to listen and everybody

492
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: wanted to act like the PA was making a great deal.

493
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: The PA made a shit deal, as the PA has

494
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: done for years now, and every year the pop gets

495
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: bigger and the business gets better and the players get

496
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: screwed more. That's that's just how this business works and

497
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: so insane that back to the Boston Celtics, that's what

498
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: all of these.

499
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: Moves are about people.

500
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: That's why they got rid of Perzingis, That's why they

501
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: got rid of Drew Holliday.

502
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: That's why you're hearing so many people call on Jaylen Brown.

503
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: You're hearing so many people call on Derek white Is

504
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: because they know they want to get away from that

505
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: second Apron tax and Jason Tatum being out, things are

506
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: up in the air. You trade for Anthony Simons, I think,

507
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: listen there, they they're the boss and tell us they

508
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: got to be competitive. But at the end of the day,

509
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: it's an expiring deal cap situation, all of those and

510
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: you got Jason Tatum hurt, right, So if I had

511
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: to guess Jaylen Brown, if he have any Nixon nax

512
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: this year, probably won't be in the lineup because you're

513
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna recalibrate, You're gonna let your books settle, and then

514
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: next year with Jason Tatum coming back, then you try

515
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: to retool and start going for it again. And that's

516
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: just how these things work. You'll see this all over

517
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: the NBA for years to come, because that's just the

518
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: way that this CBA works, and so you'll see this happen.

519
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: Over and over again. That's my spiel. That's the second.

520
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: We asked for no more super teams. So we're definitely

521
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: gonna get no more super teams. But we're also gonna

522
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 4: get teams that rise in the draft, do great things

523
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 4: in free agency, and they're gonna it's gonna be more

524
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 4: broken up teams than the teams that you grow up

525
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 4: on being like, yo, this team has been together for

526
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: five years. That's gonna be hard to do, especially, you know,

527
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 4: having young players becoming great and getting better with that cap.

528
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 4: The New Orleans Pelicans are trader CJ. McCollum, Kelly Olynnock

529
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 4: and a future second round pick to the Washington Wizards

530
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: for Jordan Poole, Sadig Bay and the number forty overall

531
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: pick in the second round of the NBA Draft. What

532
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: does this trade mean for both teams? Draymond, what does

533
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: it mean for the Pelicans?

534
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: What this means for the Pelicans is that Joe D's

535
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: coming in.

536
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: He's making some changes. He wanted to see you know,

537
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: just acquire some young talent in Jordan Poole to see

538
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: if he can still make it work with next to

539
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: the Zion's you know, Trey Herb Jones. You know, see

540
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: if you can put it together with these young guys.

541
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: I think, so when I look at this Pelicans, this move,

542
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: you got de Johonte be coming off from Achilles injury.

543
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: When I look at this Pelican move, I like, I think,

544
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: when you add a talent like Jordan Poole, you know,

545
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: CJ is kind of who CJ is, you know, Jordans

546
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: Jordan still has room for growth. I don't think we've

547
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: seen the best of his growth yet. And I think

548
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: getting in a in an organization like New Orleans under

549
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 1: Joe Dumar's leadership, you know, with with Willie Green at

550
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: the coach, I think would be a really good situation

551
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: for him. I think Washington the first year he spent in,

552
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: justin last year, he had a really good year numbers wise,

553
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: But when you're on that team, it don't matter. And

554
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: so I think, you know, when I look at when

555
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: I look at this for the Pelicans, I look at

556
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: this as a net post. You know, you didn't you

557
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: didn't have to go crazy. From a salary cap standpoint,

558
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: I think Jordan may make a little less than CJ.

559
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: Or right around the same amount, you know. But yeah,

560
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: I think you still got time for him to prove himself.

561
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: A couple more years left on his deal, uh, two

562
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: or three more years left on his deal. I think

563
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: he still got time to prove himself. And with some

564
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: young guys who are also looking to take that next step,

565
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: and so I think they become a team that you

566
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: got to watch out for in the West. You know,

567
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: they got a lot of talent. They're gonna they can

568
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: put it together. They're gonna creep up and can possibly

569
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: have a good year. So that's what I think this.

570
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: Moved mean for the Pelicans, the Wizards.

571
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: What you got for the Wizards. You when I look

572
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: at that trade for the Wizards.

573
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 4: You know, I actually like it for the Wizards. Why

574
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 4: Because I think CJ. McCollum is what the Wizards need.

575
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 4: You need some veteran leadership, You need someone who can

576
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 4: play basketball. You need someone that can talk to your

577
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: young guys and get them in positions to play NBA basketball.

578
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 4: You got a linux there who's like, you know, a

579
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 4: bridge player, somebody who can come in learn the system,

580
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 4: be a VET.

581
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: So you're really trading you.

582
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: Know, young energy from Pool who is a dynamic scorer,

583
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 4: but you bet on Pool to be you know, your

584
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: next all star, superstar player and leader. I think you're

585
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 4: gonna get the leadership in McCullum. You're gonna get more

586
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: consistency out of what do you have now. I don't

587
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: know how how many years McCullum got on this contract,

588
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: but I just like that.

589
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: I like this trade in favor of CJ.

590
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 4: And then I also think for Washington, it's a good

591
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 4: move to start cebmit your organization with some veterans around,

592
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: especially the young guys you have, because they're gonna take

593
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: some time to develop, or if they developed properly, they

594
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 4: can skyrocket over half a season with their.

595
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 3: Time, no doubt, no doubt.

596
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: I think what we're starting to see Morris teams went

597
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: so far left with the youth movement that they're realizing that, no,

598
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: you can go young, but you gotta have.

599
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: Some veteran leadership in there.

600
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: Ors the blind leading the blind and that don't And

601
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: so I think that's what we're starting to see.

602
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at this OKAC team.

603
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: They started with all those young guys, but throughout those

604
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: years they brought in Chris Pauls, you know, and different

605
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: guys that has helped continue to show from a veteran

606
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: leadership standpoint, the way.

607
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 3: To shade and for share to take the rais.

608
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: So I think teams are starting to realize that, I know,

609
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: Will Dawkins comes out of the OKC tree, and you know,

610
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: just to watch him put those veteran leaders around those

611
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: young guys, I think it makes sense. I expect CJ

612
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: to go in there asking for an extension, uh, to

613
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: extend that money, and but I think overall, I think

614
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: it's a good move for both groups.

615
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely, definitely a good move. The league is

616
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 4: starting to get a little bit more balanced, and I'm excited.

617
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: I think the finals.

618
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 4: Created a whole new image and infrastructure of what success

619
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 4: looks like. But also the playoffs too, so.

620
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: Uh, speaking of the playoffs, we got to congratulate okay

621
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: see winning their first NBA championship. I'm obviously familiar with

622
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: how how dynasties look. Obviously still plan, so I'm not hope.

623
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: I'm hoping they ain't starting on right now. But do

624
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: you think this could be the start of a dynasty

625
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: an OKAC and where their team is. I think dynasties

626
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: are a lot harder, but I'll get into that. Do

627
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: you think this is the start of one?

628
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see. I have to go with the numbers.

629
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 4: There's going to be a different NBA Champion crown next year.

630
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: But does OKC have the best chance. Absolutely if they

631
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 4: keep this team intact and figure out Okay, if they

632
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 4: can make a couple of minor tweaks to upgrade what

633
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 4: they got, then I would pick them as number one.

634
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 4: I don't think Indiana is a fluke either. I think

635
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: Indiana now has some championship pedigree or finals pedigree they'll

636
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 4: be back to. But the dynasty part is hard in

637
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 4: this era as hard as this era because at some point,

638
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: like you said, they're gonna be facing a hard cap

639
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 4: and they're gonna have to be highly strategic about how

640
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 4: they shepherd in the old and the new.

641
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

642
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: I think, like you said, dynasty's I think it's just

643
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, you know, right, Like they're like Caruso

644
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: was big for this championship, Hardenstein was big, lou Door

645
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: was big, when you start paying JDub the max and

646
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: Check max or near.

647
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: Max, And so I'm saying, guys, you start to lose.

648
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: And now you playing older guys playing with young guys

649
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: that don't look the same, you know.

650
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: So I think they're.

651
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: Set up for success, uh, for sure, but uh is

652
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: it the start of a dynasty? Those things are hard

653
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: to come by. You start talking about health. Everybody gotta

654
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: stay healthy.

655
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 3: Uh, you know that that drive and will I don't

656
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 3: doubt that that'll go anywhere.

657
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: They got some young, hungry guys, but I think that

658
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: can that can definitely play a part in it.

659
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 3: And this this CBA ain't really set up for that.

660
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: Now that the thunder have won the title, you explain

661
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 4: the window of opportunity for them to continue winning championships.

662
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 4: You know, we talked a little bit about dynasty. What

663
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: does that window for them look like?

664
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: I think their best chance to win an US Championship

665
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: is next year because you'll still have Check and Jay

666
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: Dubb making rookie money, which means you still allowed to

667
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: keep your pieces. And so their best chance to win

668
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: again is the following year. Once that money kick in,

669
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: everything looks different. And so when you start talking the

670
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: window opportunity. Look at the Houston Rockets, they won two,

671
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: they haven't won one. Sens you know, you start talking

672
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons won two win thirteen thirteen years, thirteen fourteen years,

673
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: one another one twenty one years.

674
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 3: They haven't one.

675
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: Sense Like, when you get the chance to kick that

676
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: window in, you gotta kick it in.

677
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: You gotta go take the window in now.

678
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: But your best chance is now, because start building a beat,

679
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: you injuries happen, contracts happen. Their best opportunity to win

680
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: again is next year. And I think they should understand

681
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: that is you know, that's just the way these things work.

682
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I think we said. We talked

683
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: about that.

684
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 4: You know, do you if they didn't win it this year,

685
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 4: they got the next two to three years to win one. Well,

686
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 4: they won it this year, so now they got two

687
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 4: years for sure, possible three if we were setting books right.

688
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 3: That's exactly that's how it boils down. Like you're gonna

689
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: have to start getting rid of people.

690
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: And when you start getting rid of people, like you

691
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: can pluck one person from a.

692
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 3: Team and it can change the whole landscape.

693
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: And so we'll see. But that's That's how I breakdown

694
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: for them, ah Man. Before we move on, I got

695
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: to speak about SGA and the season that he had,

696
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: one of four players who win the scoring title, MVP

697
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: and finals MVP. Beautiful to see him continue to take

698
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: that jump after jump after jump, and you know, finally

699
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: finishing on out, not finishing on now because he still

700
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: got many years ago, but finish the season out. Do

701
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: you think coming into next year you start talking about like,

702
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: does this just make you the face of the NBA

703
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: or doesn't I personally don't.

704
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

705
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: I think fac of the NBA just happening. And I

706
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: know people keep talking about that. But when you look

707
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: at the season he had, what else.

708
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 3: Can one do?

709
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: You're the number one stunt up? What?

710
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 3: Well?

711
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: What what the number one stunner?

712
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 4: Like if if you think about it coming out, you know,

713
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: coming off the championship, you're gonna be that summer league.

714
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 4: You show up the summer league, you number one Younumero,

00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 2: So you can.

718
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 4: Carry that that pedagree and and and he has a

719
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 4: great brand, right, he has a great brand.

720
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: He speaks highly of his teammates.

721
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 4: He's he he's very articulate about the game and patient

722
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 4: with reporters. So when you start thinking about are they

724
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,799

00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 4: as far as face of the league, yeah, he got

726
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 4: it for now. In order to be the face of

727
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 4: the league and to carry that, they gotta come and

728

770
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,080

00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: into the tax for the first time, it'll be interesting

772

Speaker 4: he deserved it.

779
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: He fought to a game seven. He fought with injury.

780
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 4: We talked about it on the show that playing with

781
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 4: that calf muscle was gonna be risky. Remember we talked

00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 4: into this dub nation.

811
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 3: Man. We got some questions.

812
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 4: What needs to happen this offseason for the Warriors to

813
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 4: be real contenders again?

814
00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 3: I think.

815
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: You know the heavy lifting has been done, like you added, Jimmy.

816
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest thing that needed to happen.

817
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: Now we got that. Now you can tool around that.

818
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, our team was tooled around staph. Now you

819
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: know how Jimmy looks in the system, you know how

820
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy likes to play.

821
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 3: You can also tool around that as well.

822
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, just locking in from that front,

823
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: understanding what we got, where we can get better, and

824
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: making those pushes. You know, but free agency is tough, man,

825
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, you trying to court people and make the

826
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: best offerend and you don't always know what it is

827
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: right Like for some guys it could be the highest

828
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: dollar amount. Of the other guys that could be totally different.

829
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: So I think just going into it, it's just all

830
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: about looking to see, like, all right, now we know

831
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 1: how it looks. Now we got that part figured out,

832
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: Now what does it look like around that? So I

833
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: think we're in a much better position handing to this

834
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,719

00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 4: What what about what about the night night moment when

905
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,760

907
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: And then you know, I enjoyed the season though, you know, like, hey,

908
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: I came out of this season feeling better than I

909
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: did three years ago, you know, And so I think

910
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: most important, you know that just health continuing to grow.

911
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 3: I think overall net positive.

912
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: Now just keep it rolling and win this championship next year,

913
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: but overall net positive, man. So I'm looking forward to

914
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: this next one, obviously getting the team right, getting the

915
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: ross right, knowing what we look can right like rolling

916
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 1: into next year.

917
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 3: But you know, you know how I'm rolling then, fus baby, you.

918
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 4: Know that's the pedigree, y'all? Back, yeah, back, so yeah,

919
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 4: back to pedigree.

920
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So that's how we roll. But the NBA Draft

921
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: is currently going on. You know, NBA Draft in one

922
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: of my finest nice you know, he was the third pick.

923
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: So maybe you want to like get all hype for

924
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: the draft. I think that ship don't matter good. It's

925
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: all about where you go.

926
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: Man.

927
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 4: I always say the draft is whatever team you go

928
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 4: to with system. It don't matter where you what pick

929
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 4: you go. You just want to go to the right situation.

930
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 4: And we've seen that countless amount of times with you know,

931
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 4: players in the second round you look at I think,

932
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 4: you know the story that's most relevant in my time

933
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 4: was with Sean Lewis, you know, being a first round

934
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 4: pick and getting drafted in the second round, being upset,

935
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 4: but wind up going to Seattle and wind up becoming

936
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 4: the man, yeah, faster than he would if he would

937
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 4: have you know, went to a Portland at the time

938
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 4: or Indiana at the time. I had to sit behind

939
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 4: some vets. So you know, the draft of the draft

940
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 4: for me, it was incredible. You know, being the third pick,

941
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 4: I didn't really know nothing about Charlotte. Uh, I didn't

942
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 4: really know who was on the team until I got drafted. Yeah,

943
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 4: I went to a good team. I went to a

944
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 4: vet team, a playoff team, a team that was, you know,

945
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 4: trying to make it in the playoffs in a tough,

946
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 4: tough Eastern conference. And I got a chance my rookie

947
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 4: year to sit on the bench, which I did not

948
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 4: like as a number three pick, because the coach tell

949
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 4: me I should be starting by man season.

950
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 2: But it was cool if I would.

951
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 4: Have got drafted earlier later who knows what kind of system.

952
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 4: But I went to a system where I was able

953
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 4: to grow and then ultimately become an All Star.

954
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 2: And yet three, no.

955
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: Doubt, No, I think, you know, I think where you go,

956
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: like you said, it is far more important.

957
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 2: Where was you at on Jeff?

958
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 3: It works out?

959
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: And then I was in sagging off the doll events

960
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: and her baby with a terrible suit on.

961
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 2: And how was it? How did it go for you?

962
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 2: Because you were supposed to be a lottery pick, right, Yeah.

963
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't necessarily going to be lottery, but I definitely

964
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: was like projected to the top twenty, top twenty, top

965
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: twenty five.

966
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, to.

967
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: Go thirty fifth pick, it's like, dang, you see the

968
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: end of that first round come, You're like, man, no,

969
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: so it's a great night, you know.

970
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 4: But it was very bittersweet me was people overreacting at

971
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 4: the party or at your event?

972
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 2: Were more people overreacting than you or were?

973
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 4: I know you were disappointed, but like what was the

974
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 4: what was the hype and then like the whole I don't.

975
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: Think anybody overreacted. I think people are all shocked. You know,

976
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: you could kind of feel like the Anks way way there,

977
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: like man like when it's gonna happen. But I don't

978
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: think anybody overreacted. Nobody made too much of it. I

979
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: probably I probably felt the most about it, you know

980
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, just because I know the work that

981
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: I have put in and I knew what I had

982
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: to offer, and so going in the second round was

983
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: baffling to me.

984
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 3: But in saying that, to get your name called and.

985
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: Special special in NBA draft is special. So I'm forever

986
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 1: grateful for that moment. I hope these guys enjoyed, enjoy

987
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: that night and then understand that tomorrow, man, yeah, one

988
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: guy may get an opportunity fast, but tomorrow everybody is

989
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: an equal plan. You gotta go prove that you you

990
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: belong in the NBA and what you can bring to

991
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: a team. No surprise, Cooper Flag went number one and

992
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five NBA Draft to.

993
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 2: The Dallas Mavericks.

994
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 4: How does Cooper Flag fit in with the Dallas Mavericks

995
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 4: And shout out to Kyrie signing a three year, one

996
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 4: hundred and nineteen million dollars a contract. He probably won't

997
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 4: play next year unless it's later in the season. But

998
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 4: talk about Cooper Flag to Dallas and what that looks like.

999
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 3: I think Cooper Flag to Dallas. I think Cooper Flag

1000
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 3: is lucky man.

1001
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: You get a chance to go in with some great vets,

1002
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: some guys that's gonna take some pressure off of you.

1003
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: It won't just be the Cooper Flag show, you know,

1004
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: So you won't have all this pressure on. You can

1005
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of get in where you fit in. Yeah, you

1006
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: still gotta go be special, but you ain't gotta go

1007
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: average twenty five points on the bad team twenty points

1008
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: on the bad team.

1009
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 3: Like, you get to go compete and learn from some

1010
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 3: of the best you know. And so I think that's

1011
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 3: great how he fits. I think it gets interesting.

1012
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: We all know ad don't love playing the five Cooper Flag.

1013
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a foreman. I don't think he's a three.

1014
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: You got Daniel Gafford, you got Derek Lively, you know,

1015
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: So how does that all play out? One thing is

1016
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: for certains, They're gonna make sure Cooper Flag fits into that.

1017
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 3: But how does that all play out in the end.

1018
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: I think will be interesting to watch, you know, just

1019
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, if Cooper Flag

1020
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: has to be a four and someone shifts, someone else shifts,

1021
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: and so I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out.

1022
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think he goes to a

1023
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: great situation and also goes to a great organization. A

1024
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: lot of times you the number one pick, you go

1025
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: to a shitty organization.

1026
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 3: It's going to a great organization.

1027
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: So I think I think I don't think he could

1028
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: have asked for anything better being a number one pick.

1029
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: Dylan Harper was also was drafted by the San Antonio

1030
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: Spurs with the second pick. Uh uh uh, how do

1031
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: you see him fitting in there? Going to San Antonio?

1032
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 3: What? What what does that look like for him? Now?

1033
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 2: They got two big, dynamic guards.

1034
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 4: That can beat you off the dribble, get to the paint,

1035
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 4: can post, find ways to score.

1036
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 2: I think he is.

1037
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,959
Speaker 4: A different dynamic than Castle. He has more I say,

1038
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 4: kind of point guard features, right pick and roll like

1039
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 4: he's really really good in the pick and roll. But

1040
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 4: you got a left hand six four big guard. You

1041
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 4: got a six four six' five big guard like, This

1042
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 4: this big guard combination for The San Antonio spurs is

1043
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 4: gonna be. Dynamic they're gonna He they're gonna put a

1044
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 4: lot of pressure on the. Defense and when you think

1045
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 4: about not only, that you Got Dearon fox right as

1046
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,959
Speaker 4: the league. Guard then you're talking about this three guard

1047
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 4: dynamic with this young kid coming off the, bench playing

1048
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 4: him With, castle playing him with The Aaron, fox you

1049
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 4: got a three guard dynamic that's gonna be getting downhill

1050
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 4: and putting a lot of pressure on the. Defense that's

1051
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 4: a lot of, foules that's a lot of, Files so

1052
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 4: you better be ready to.

1053
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 2: GUARD i.

1054
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: AGREE i think you know that that type of size and,

1055
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: length what what what what centaturios BUILDING i think can be.

1056
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 3: Special you, KNOW i Think Dylan harper probably walks.

1057
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 1: In i'm not sure if he's a starter from day

1058
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: one because you Got fox, there you Got. Castle do

1059
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: they ultimately starting day one to bring him off the.

1060
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: BENCH i think that'll be decided about how he Looks

1061
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: Summer league and going into. Camp but you, KNOW i

1062
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: think the future is bright for. THEM i think that's

1063
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: a great, pick you. Know so we'll we'll see how

1064
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: we'll see how it turns. Out but, Overall Man San,

1065

1067
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 4: they got perimeter guys who hustle and can finish and

1068
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 4: make some. Shots all. Right As, bailey he was supposed

1069
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 4: to be a top three. Pick he wind up going.

1070
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 4: Five that's not really, Falling but you, know a lot

1071
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 4: of the narrative was he is the FIRST us based

1072
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,479
Speaker 4: player to not work out for any.

1073
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Teams do you think that hurt?

1074
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 4: Hurt it's not a hurt dropping from out the top

1075
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 4: three to, Five.

1076
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 2: But what is your take on.

1077
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 3: THAT i don't necessarily think it. Hurt it didn't. Hurt

1078
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 3: you went. Five whooped the fucking. Dude it didn't hurt.

1079
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: That but you're walking into THE nba able to, strike

1080
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: AND i think that's what's most important to. Understand it's

1081
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: like you're walking in with a question mark on. Character

1082
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: you're walking in with a question mark on work. Ethic

1083
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: you're walking in with a question mark on your. Camp

1084
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: you know What i'm. Saying and so my thing to

1085
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: him and his camp will be understand where you. Are,

1086
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: okay it's, fine no big. Deal you went fifth in the.

1087
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Draft AS i said earlier in the, show that shit don't.

1088
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Matter no more matters for his, salary and that's about.

1089
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: It it's now time to go. Play so be the

1090
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 1: first in the. Gym don't go into the organization causing any.

1091
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: Problems going to the organization knowing that there's some guys

1092
