Speaker 1: Come on on this episode of the Heat Check, so
Speaker 1: much to go over the dynastic, dynamic, amazing Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors go back to the finals.
Speaker 2: I've always said I love that team, always said I
Speaker 2: love that team. For the sixth time in eight years,
Speaker 2: once Thanos unblipped us, they got back to their dynastic
Speaker 2: ways after gap years of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson
Speaker 2: being injured. So Boston looks like they're gonna close this
Speaker 2: baby out tonight against Miami. And we also have some
Speaker 2: current te and some updates from around the lead Brock,
Speaker 2: So go ahead and drop that off the beast, all right,
Speaker 2: So we gotta get into the current news. It is
Speaker 2: our daily weekly check in on the state of the
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets franchise. And I got through multiple paywalls, I
Speaker 2: set an incognito window up, I figured out how to
Speaker 2: get to the New York Daily News. I put in
Speaker 2: a fake email so that they would allow me to
Speaker 2: have five free one free article. And according to I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna make you do all that, So we're gonna
Speaker 2: just kind of put that out and give you their
Speaker 2: news and disseminate what the truth is and what this
Speaker 2: means moving forward because I tell you what the headline was,
Speaker 2: end times.
Speaker 3: The end game is near for the Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: Nets because of, of course, the complications around Kyrie Irving. Right,
Speaker 2: we talked about this last pod. What's going on with Kyrie?
Speaker 2: What these comments that he's made mean on the I
Speaker 2: Am Athlete podcast? Things that I just can't really wrap
Speaker 2: my mind around, but things that give me great pleasure
Speaker 2: in the tea world, which I love. I'm actually gonna
Speaker 2: have My birthday is tomorrow. I'm gonna have some tea time,
Speaker 2: going to afternoon tea. So much cut out coffee now,
Speaker 2: I'm all in on the tee. That's besides the point.
Speaker 2: Unlike Marvel and the Multiverse, there aren't fourteen gazillion outcomes
Speaker 2: for this whole Kyrie Irving thing. There's only a few
Speaker 2: potential outcomes we could see. There's like three three outcomes, right.
Speaker 2: The Nets are now expected to play hardball with Kyrie
Speaker 2: because guy won't play a full season, Like he's just
Speaker 2: not around, Like do not forget he went on walk
Speaker 2: about during the pandemic. He had to take some time
Speaker 2: for himself. After the insurrection, he got suspended because he
Speaker 2: went to his sister's birthday party with no mask on,
Speaker 2: when that was like a major thing we all had
Speaker 2: society needed to do. When the NBA players were all
Speaker 2: locked down, they couldn't leave their hotel rooms or their
Speaker 2: apartments without having strict measures in place, certain people that
Speaker 2: they couldn't see. Remember those times, like that was Kyrie
Speaker 2: a year ago, right, So that and then of course
Speaker 2: that's not even including the whole fact that Kyrie Irving
Speaker 2: would not get vaccinated in a city in the state
Speaker 2: where you need to be vaccinated to be inside of
Speaker 2: a public place and perform inside of said public play,
Speaker 2: so had to be sat.
Speaker 3: Out of home games.
Speaker 2: And then the Brooklyn Nets, of course, as you know,
Speaker 2: said well you can't play only road games.
Speaker 3: And here we are, right, and then they get bounced
Speaker 3: out of the first.
Speaker 2: Round sweep sweet broom broom swiffer, easy work, not even
Speaker 2: a full broom like a swiffer.
Speaker 3: Right, that's where we're at now.
Speaker 2: And they're saying that because they're gonna play hardball with
Speaker 2: this New York Daily News, that they're gonna play hardball
Speaker 2: with Kyrie. This means that there's a potential exit plan,
Speaker 2: a hatch, if you will, something, some escape route, something
Speaker 2: Our school systems apparently need for Kevin Durant. Here is
Speaker 2: the quote from the New York Daily News and what
Speaker 2: they had to say. If Irving leaves outright as a
Speaker 2: free agent this summer, disgrundled by the nets hardball stance
Speaker 2: on his availability, Brooklyn doesn't have the cap space to
Speaker 2: replace him, which means Durant, entering year sixteen Geez could
Speaker 2: be playing with the questionable Ben Simmons and a roster
Speaker 2: full of Measley role players.
Speaker 3: That's a first round exit, folks.
Speaker 2: And if Durant decides he's gonna stay around for a
Speaker 2: first round exit, which is sus and just wait for
Speaker 2: the inevitable to play out, which we're not even sure.
Speaker 2: If that's the case, Durant in the NETS front office
Speaker 2: might have some decisions to make.
Speaker 3: And they haven't even.
Speaker 2: Spoken since they were swept out first round. Alert Alert Warning, Warning,
Speaker 2: Nets are in peril.
Speaker 3: Nets are in.
Speaker 2: Serious Please eject, Please turn around, go the opposite way.
Speaker 2: In Layman's terms, New York Daily News says, if Irving
Speaker 2: leads the Nets, it would not be a surprise if
Speaker 2: Durant becomes frustrated with the organization's ability to put championship
Speaker 2: pieces around him.
Speaker 3: I didn't leave Golden State for this.
Speaker 2: They failed to do so at the beginning of last season,
Speaker 2: with none of their top off season acquisitions James Johnson, Bembrie,
Speaker 2: Javon Carter finishing the year in Brooklyn. Thus the fact
Speaker 2: that the Nets championship hopes hinge on an amicable solution
Speaker 2: with Irving, whose personal decision not to get vaccinated and
Speaker 2: predictable unpredictability in his injury history have left the Nets
Speaker 2: hesitant and now, according to it the source here it
Speaker 2: gets here where he gets really interesting. According to a
Speaker 2: source familiar with the Nets thought process, out right unwilling
Speaker 2: to give him a long term extension.
Speaker 3: Folks, folks, this is bad. This is really bad.
Speaker 2: The Nets outright unwilling to give Kyrie Irving a long
Speaker 2: term extension. Thus he either needs to ride out his
Speaker 2: player option, he becomes a free agent, and then what
Speaker 2: happens to Kevin Durant, He doesn't just chill and stay
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn on a four year max contract. That's Deuce's
Speaker 2: pair That with Kyrie's statements about reuniting with Lebron James
Speaker 2: feels like the Nets are in the middle of the grenade.
Speaker 2: Is already in the building, folks. It's it's got about
Speaker 2: five seconds until it explodes. Everyone needs to leave the
Speaker 2: building in now. Who is to blame? You might ask me? Everyone,
Speaker 2: all of them, every single bit. Josiah and his greed
Speaker 2: and his impatience, Sean Mars and his ineptitude, Steve Nash
Speaker 2: and his privilege and inability to get folks who knew
Speaker 2: what they were doing underneath him and empower them.
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving for.
Speaker 2: Recruiting James Harden to the team, the Nets organization for
Speaker 2: even putting that trade together where you mortgaged your franchise
Speaker 2: for a guy who's fat and old and really cantankerous
Speaker 2: and bald dominant with two other balld dominant players.
Speaker 3: You gave four first round.
Speaker 2: Picks for him and chered Allen and Karris Lervert and
Speaker 2: Torrian Prince. Not to say Torrian Princes anything, but like
Speaker 2: you could use him. He was pretty good in that
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolf series, folks, Folks.
Speaker 3: So what happens now? I don't know. I just know
Speaker 3: it's not good.
Speaker 2: We got Chris Carreno, the NETS broadcaster, on and I
Speaker 2: can't wait to ask him. Well, he has to say
Speaker 2: but I tell you what, it's.
Speaker 3: Hush hush around there.
Speaker 2: If the Nets are unwilling to give Kyrie Irving the
Speaker 2: Max and Kevin Durant.
Speaker 3: Leaves, then you have no first round picks.
Speaker 2: The cupboards are dry, and Brooklyn just goes back to
Speaker 2: being New Jersey to move him out again, I don't care.
Speaker 2: Move the Knicks to Brooklyn. Geez, man, where does he go?
Speaker 3: I don't know. If I knew that, I.
Speaker 2: Would be filthy rich, Miami would be awesome. Jimmy Butler
Speaker 2: to Brooklyn. They need someone who can initiate an offense.
Speaker 3: I tell you what, I tell you what. All right,
Speaker 3: let's move on. Next piece news.
Speaker 2: We all know Brad Beal's about to sign somewhere. Probably
Speaker 2: gonna be some hoopla around his decision, probably some documentary
Speaker 2: like Jimmy Butler had.
Speaker 3: Do you think I'm man Brock?
Speaker 2: You think I'm playing where there is no hoopla, There
Speaker 2: is no fanfare, just a Brinks truck and smiles all around.
Speaker 3: Is in Denver. In the imminent.
Speaker 2: Future, we will now have the new highest paid player
Speaker 2: in the NBA in NBA history. Nicola jokicch two time MVP,
Speaker 2: just got offered a five year, two hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: million dollars super Max contract.
Speaker 3: Shams is reporting that he not.
Speaker 2: Only plays decided immediately, but has made a long term
Speaker 2: commitment to the Nuggets. Even though we talked about Tim
Speaker 2: Conley being duss, he said, listen like it's good. They
Speaker 2: had a meeting, and this is what it leads me to.
Speaker 2: The best part about this is that the Jokic brothers
Speaker 2: were very involved in the process of getting Nikola jokicch
Speaker 2: to basically sign on and say I'm committed to the
Speaker 2: Denver franchise long term, even with all of the gms.
Speaker 3: And executives leaving.
Speaker 2: The Okich brothers, you might remember, are the ones that
Speaker 2: created a Twitter profile just to come after the Morris
Speaker 2: Twins like them. So they are now operating as a
Speaker 2: shadow agents for Nicola Jokic. And so they met with
Speaker 2: Nuggets GM new GM Calvin Booth and his team over
Speaker 2: the several days, and they reported back to Nicola, Yep, yep,
Speaker 2: everything's good.
Speaker 3: We're all on the same page. They're gonna get you
Speaker 3: some goons. Everything's good. All is well. They even gave
Speaker 3: us a little spot on the team that we.
Speaker 2: Have no official title we're just your enforcers. Don't worry
Speaker 2: about that. That's actually don't think that's news, but I
Speaker 2: think that's probably what somehow happened. The option upshot of
Speaker 2: these conversations is that the Nuggets convince Jokic that they
Speaker 2: are not only are going to keep Murray, Porter and
Speaker 2: Nicola the core, but they're also going to be very
Speaker 2: aggressive on the market, focusing on defensive minded players. Because remember,
Speaker 2: the Denver was the twenty sixth best perimeter defense, which
Speaker 2: is another word for saying like fifth worst, so really
Speaker 2: really bad, mask wol not great.
Speaker 3: So really they need to shore up the perimeter, right PJ.
Speaker 2: Truck Tucker time, Lord Grant Williams. They're gonna be going
Speaker 2: after these types of players. The Nuggets are set to
Speaker 2: be fifteen million dollars in the luxury tax right now
Speaker 2: already as Gordon and Porter's extension kick in this year,
Speaker 2: I could very easily see Aaron Gordon going bye bye.
Speaker 2: They paid I think two first round picks for him.
Speaker 3: Who cares? Who cares? You don't need him.
Speaker 2: He's not a piece of the core. Notice the core
Speaker 2: did not include his name, so this means wash. The
Speaker 2: Nuggets on Draft Day because Sham's reported that if it
Speaker 2: means discussing the team's draft assets as a way of
Speaker 2: upgrading into win now talent, that they will do that.
Speaker 2: There's an openness to that. Nuggets right now have the
Speaker 2: number twenty one pick in the draft. Could yield them something.
Speaker 2: Move the twenty one pick with Aaron Gordon, maybe you
Speaker 2: get a piece back. I'm not sure they're thinking about.
Speaker 2: Maybe if they do.
Speaker 3: Take somebody in the number twenty two, twenty.
Speaker 2: One pick, maybe like a defensive minded wing like French
Speaker 2: international player Uzman Jang he's six' ten with a seven feet,
Speaker 2: Wingspan or Maybe Kendall brown From baylor who's six to
Speaker 2: seven with the six to eleven. Wingspan Maybe David. RODDY
Speaker 2: i don't like him as. Much he's a point. Guard
Speaker 2: they don't need. That they already have a bunch of
Speaker 2: guards six six six eleven. Wingspan but remember they already
Speaker 2: Got Bones higland with a twenty six pick last. Year
Speaker 2: they got five spots, better, folks, ALL i know what
Speaker 2: does it all? Mean even though the architect is, gone
Speaker 2: his minions remain. Strong jokic isn't going, anywhere and neither
Speaker 2: of The nuggets cannot wait to see what The nuggets actually,
Speaker 2: do because we know it's probably gonna be more decisive
Speaker 2: and smarter than our pea brains can wrap our minds.
Speaker 2: Around won't look good on Draft, day but we'll probably
Speaker 2: end up making The All rookie team just like Bones
Speaker 2: hiland did at the number twenty one, spot or they're
Speaker 2: gonna get the difference Make, oh so it's.
Speaker 3: Done it's, done.
Speaker 2: Folks The warriors are officially going back to the finals
Speaker 2: after eliminating The Dallas, mavericks, who let's be, honest nobody
Speaker 2: expected to be, here then won a first round series With,
Speaker 2: luca and they got to The Western Conference. Finals they
Speaker 2: beat The suns number one. Overall see nobody thought that would.
Speaker 2: Happen so Great luca showed that he is very. Good
Speaker 2: he is, him especially if he ends up getting in.
Speaker 2: Shape Jalen brunson, said he showed he's gonna get paid
Speaker 2: somewhere around twenty million dollars a. Year but on the flip,
Speaker 2: side for The, mavericks it showed there is definitely some
Speaker 2: work to need to make done in order for them
Speaker 2: to progress and get to a better, place in order
Speaker 2: to progress past where they are now or at least
Speaker 2: even stay.
Speaker 3: Where they are. Now Remember denver got.
Speaker 2: To The Western conference finals and then they got swept
Speaker 2: the next, year right by The. Suns denver got to
Speaker 2: The Western conference two years later they ended up losing
Speaker 2: The warriors in the first, round who weren't even in the.
Speaker 2: Playoffs so just keeping the same core doesn't always really,
Speaker 2: work no matter how successful you were in prior, years
Speaker 2: because other teams get, better other teams make, moves and
Speaker 2: you get. Worse so the big question now is, like
Speaker 2: what do you do? Next what Does Mark cuban.
Speaker 3: Do Jalen.
Speaker 2: Brunson i've been doing a little mass school crunching the numbers, today,
Speaker 2: crunching doing some serious, crunching and lots of speculation about
Speaker 2: What Jalen brunson is gonna. Do like we, said he
Speaker 2: had a coming out. Party he's gonna get, Paid he's
Speaker 2: gonna get the, bag all the, money gonna get probably
Speaker 2: somewhere between twenty twenty five million dollars a, year averaging
Speaker 2: sixteen to five and four single handedly at some points
Speaker 2: in times Without luca in That utah, series getting them
Speaker 2: to win games That let's be, honest if it wasn't for,
Speaker 2: him they probably would have lost The jazz in the first.
Speaker 3: Round we wouldn't even be having this.
Speaker 2: Conversation now he's a free, agent a lot of speculation
Speaker 2: about what's gonna, happen what he's gonna do, next, right
Speaker 2: interesting comment coming From Mark. Cuban he, said we could
Speaker 2: Pay jalen more than, anybody AND i think he wants
Speaker 2: to stay here and that's what's. Important the, issue, though
Speaker 2: is what's more, important which is the lack of cap
Speaker 2: space that this team. Hass and this is where the.
Speaker 3: Number of crunching comes. Involved twofold.
Speaker 2: Issue brunson says he wants to be a, starter, okay
Speaker 2: and right now he is a, starter But dallas also
Speaker 2: traded For spencer. Dimwitdde spencer did when he's making a
Speaker 2: lot of money as. Well can't have him all on
Speaker 2: the floor at the same, Time, folks, listen Should Jalen
Speaker 2: brunson be a starter for The Dallas maveris when he's
Speaker 2: like six Feet he's.
Speaker 3: Like six, FEET i don't.
Speaker 2: Know Spencer dinwiddy kind of Makes Jalen brunson a redundant.
Speaker 2: Asset and you got rid Of Christas, porzingis which you
Speaker 2: needed off the. Books regardless. Right not Sure Jalen brunson
Speaker 2: is interested in a secondary, role playing second fiddle To Spencer.
Speaker 3: Dimwitddie And i'm.
Speaker 2: Not sure That spencer Didmities dimwiti's that worse Than Jalen.
Speaker 2: Brunson that man was instant offense against The warriors last.
Speaker 3: Night he was the only one to could.
Speaker 2: Score And Jalen brunson's minutes have nearly doubled since the,
Speaker 2: bubble right around thirty five minutes per. Game but how
Speaker 2: do they all three function? Together do they all three function?
Speaker 2: Together that doesn't even include the fact That luca also needs,
Speaker 2: Help so, like how Does dallas Keep brunson and get more?
Speaker 2: Help how do they Keep brunson and not get any
Speaker 2: help and get anywhere closer to where they were any
Speaker 2: closer to the finals than they were this, year especially
Speaker 2: when The clippers are getting, better The pelicans are getting,
Speaker 2: better The nuggets are getting. Healthy like you've, got you,
Speaker 2: know obstacle after. OBSTACLE i don't think that's what you
Speaker 2: want to. Do. Baby is the trio Of, Luca dinwittie
Speaker 2: And brunson good enough to get past The? Warriors no Althy,
Speaker 2: grizzlies no or Revamped sun's.
Speaker 3: Probably not wha what? Up what's what are you?
Speaker 2: Saying Mark Cuban jaalen future looking twenty twenty to twenty
Speaker 2: five million a year with two years left On dimwoody's
Speaker 2: twenty million dollars a year, Deal that's somewhere like forty
Speaker 2: forty five million dollars a year for those two guards
Speaker 2: if you Resign. Brunson add In Tim hardaway's twenty million dollar,
Speaker 2: Deal burton's at sixteen. Million starting to get the. Feeling
Speaker 2: Finny smith at twelve million means The, MAVs without doing a,
Speaker 2: thing already sixty million dollars over the. Cap that is
Speaker 2: a lot of, money and that is not Including brunson's.
Speaker 2: Money Signing brunson could mean sixty million dollars a year in,
Speaker 2: tax in, tax.
Speaker 3: Not including his.
Speaker 2: Salary when calculating how much The mavericks need to pay
Speaker 2: to keep them as signing that they assuming they only
Speaker 2: sign up for twenty, million, listen don't believe. Me you
Speaker 2: can go, Ahead Google luxury tax calculate put one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy one million dollars in for, salary which is
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty one which is where they are
Speaker 2: now plus twenty million dollars With Jalen, brunson and that
Speaker 2: is eighty million dollars in tax plus salary that you
Speaker 2: now have to. Pay Is Jalen brunson worth eighty million
Speaker 2: dollars a? Year that is some Crazy Kelly ubre, like,
Speaker 2: honestly that's What that's What Golden state did last year
Speaker 2: With Kelly.
Speaker 3: Ubrey where'd that get them the play in?
Speaker 2: Tournament so what do you? Do you gotta get rid
Speaker 2: Of Tim. Hardaway he makes a, million like millions and
Speaker 2: millions of too many.
Speaker 3: Dollars he's.
Speaker 2: INJURED i don't even know what you do with. Him
Speaker 2: luca needs more. Help The MAVs aren't even being a
Speaker 2: slightly coy about needing a rim protector who could actually
Speaker 2: play defense on the wing and not have to Play
Speaker 2: Maxi clay bat. Five they got their asses handed to
Speaker 2: them By Kevin, looney And Kevon looney is like a
Speaker 2: top thirty center in THE. Nba, so, FOLKS i don't
Speaker 2: mean to sell on the, alarms but things are for a.
Speaker 2: Team he just went to The Western conference. Finals you're
Speaker 2: in a pickle. Here Rudy gobert is being floated.
Speaker 3: Out that would be.
Speaker 2: INTERESTING i have some trade ideas in terms of how
Speaker 2: they get that, done but none of them include Keeping Jalen.
Speaker 2: Brunson SO i don't know what Though Mark cuban is.
Speaker 2: Saying he's saying he's a. Liar he's a.
Speaker 3: Liar he Likes Jalen, brunson but he's not gonna pay
Speaker 3: he he's on short. Take you think he's Keeping Jalen
Speaker 3: brunson for eighty million. Dollars, No brunson is.
Speaker 2: GREAT i really like. HIM i think he's a good point.
Speaker 2: GUARD i think he's a good starting point, guard one
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 3: Best table setters in the. League BUT i do not
Speaker 3: see him being paired With luca and this team going.
Speaker 2: Anywhere not because they don't want, him not because they
Speaker 2: don't need him to some, degree but because they cannot afford.
Speaker 2: Him they need to make more, changes not just keep
Speaker 2: this thing out and roll it all. Back where does
Speaker 2: he ends up end? UP i don't, Know probably maybe The.
Speaker 2: Knicks he's an interesting two way. Guy he works, hard
Speaker 2: he can, shoot he can set the, table he can,
Speaker 2: play make take the ball out Of Julius randalls's. Hands, oh,
Speaker 2: Which god knows we need That. Kyrie if he bolts
Speaker 2: looks like The nets will be in need of a point.
Speaker 2: Guard that would be a, nice little spicy. Move who,
Speaker 2: knows Maybe kyrie For Jalen brunson and maybe another piece.
Speaker 3: To make that math, work make the math. MATH i don't.
Speaker 2: Know maybe maybe some people Think brunson could end up
Speaker 2: as A piston with a sign in trade With Jeremy,
Speaker 2: grant which would be very, interesting like a little Trade
Speaker 2: Jeremy grant For Jalen. Brunson detroit gets Better Matt MAVs
Speaker 2: get their room. Protector and the question is if The
Speaker 2: mavericks do move on From, brunson which they, will how
Speaker 2: do they construct a championship Team because anything less than
Speaker 2: a finals appearance now feels like an L And luca
Speaker 2: has already gotten a taste of winning now and he
Speaker 2: doesn't want to step, back and we know he needs
Speaker 2: to step forward and then forward some more on a
Speaker 2: treadwill in order for him to win some more meaningful games.
Speaker 3: At the end of late game.
Speaker 2: Scenarios, yep step forward on the, treadmill step back from the,
Speaker 2: Buffet luca step away From, slovenia Which i've looked at
Speaker 2: On Google google images now looks. Amazing maybe bring a
Speaker 2: nutritionist with you when you. Go speculation now is that
Speaker 2: The MAVs are looking at Zach Lavine Jeremy. Grant LIKE i,
Speaker 2: said Zach lavine would be. TERRIBLE i Think Bradley beal
Speaker 2: might be a nice option out of the. TWO i
Speaker 2: Think grant is probably the better. Play LIKE i, said
Speaker 2: lots of speculation About Rudy. Gobert that would certainly solve
Speaker 2: some defensive. Issues Miles turner has been linked to The.
Speaker 3: MAVs.
Speaker 2: MAN i don't know About Miles turner and his health
Speaker 2: though both would Make Maxi klayberg go by bi. Him
Speaker 2: maybe he plays four man, regardless they can't keep Using
Speaker 2: luca as much as they have for two straight. Years
Speaker 2: luca's usage rate is thirty seven, percent which is number
Speaker 2: one in the league Over joel M. Beid the number
Speaker 2: went up to forty percent in the. Playoffs he can
Speaker 2: knot keep it. Up if the man like look at.
Speaker 2: Him he looked exhausted in that first half that, game
Speaker 2: and it was, Like, hey you're gonna go home if
Speaker 2: you don't start making some Shots, luca and they was,
Speaker 2: like oh, yeah this is this is a closeout. Game
Speaker 2: you can't continue to carry a team on your back
Speaker 2: when you're forty pounds overweight without getting significantly. Tired The
Speaker 2: warriors targeted him on defense because he was out of
Speaker 2: shape in late game. Scenarios he couldn't keep up and
Speaker 2: be The lebron type player That jason kidd wants him to.
Speaker 2: Be he was cooked by the fourth, quarter game after.
Speaker 2: Game and you, know another.
Speaker 3: Issue is That dallas was last in THE nba in.
Speaker 2: Pace of play this. Year cause you, Know luca's, fat he,
Speaker 2: slow and so fighting a way to get out of
Speaker 2: the transition might help minimize a lot of the wear
Speaker 2: and tear On. Luca maybe Play luca off, ball find
Speaker 2: another person who can play make and get their own
Speaker 2: shots so that all all the attention is not On.
Speaker 2: Luca maybe Give dinwiddie permission to handle the ball and
Speaker 2: have him play some point guard a little bit. Too
Speaker 2: and Dim witty's a lot, taller a lot stronger Than Jalen.
Speaker 2: Brunson no shade To Jalen. Brunson what do you think
Speaker 2: he's like, five it's just taller than. Him so real
Speaker 2: quick About Spencer dinwiddie, though as an, aside we know
Speaker 2: he's a weird, guy right this is what he said
Speaker 2: after the. Game he, said BEFORE i got To, dallas
Speaker 2: this team was. Connected when they asked him, like what
Speaker 2: is the what are The Dallas? Mavericks what do you
Speaker 2: think about? Them and he, goes when BEFORE i got
Speaker 2: here they were. Connected they look like a pretty connected.
Speaker 2: Team AFTER i got, Here i'd.
Speaker 3: Say sexy because the sex.
Speaker 2: Appeal went way. Up we're a good looking team, now,
Speaker 2: man have.
Speaker 3: You seen his.
Speaker 2: Cydeburns they're not filled in, Yet, like maybe come, On
Speaker 2: spencer never. Changed this is the same guy who wanted
Speaker 2: his entire salary in. Crypto by the, way that has
Speaker 2: gone from fifty thousand dollars per crypto to like eight thousand.
Speaker 2: Dollars so maybe not Take Spencer dimwiddie's advice on financial. Things,
Speaker 2: anyway interesting stuff happening with. Mas can't wait to see
Speaker 2: what happens In dallas and the. Offseason all THAT i
Speaker 2: know for sure is that they are going to BE
Speaker 2: i said they wouldn't do. IT i said they couldn't do.
Speaker 2: IT i said they'd never do it. Again and they did.
Speaker 3: It they did.
Speaker 2: It The warriors did go nine to one in the
Speaker 2: first ten. Games The warriors did go back to The
Speaker 2: finals with the same crew Including wiggins And, pool WHICH
Speaker 2: i thought they needed another.
Speaker 3: Star apparently they. Don't and NOW i have had a
Speaker 3: couple of thoughts and a couple of. Revelations, One you're.
Speaker 2: WELCOME i, mean the mush, continues so if that's what it, takes,
Speaker 2: like Maybe i'm technically the Biggest warrior fan out.
Speaker 3: There And, Two i'm ready to lay. Down i'm. Ready
Speaker 3: i'm ready to. Change i'm, tired dead. TIRED i.
Speaker 2: Didn't sleep a wink last. Night ALL i could think
Speaker 2: about was how DO i prevent taking so.
Speaker 3: Many damn l's on These.
Speaker 2: Warriors SO i figured out a plan at around three
Speaker 2: fifteen in the morning last, night WHEN i was scrolling
Speaker 2: TikTok and looking At Summer league outfits On, Pinterest Dark Deep,
Speaker 2: hole and THEN i thought to, MYSELF i have an.

Speaker 3: Dubs who? Cares? Dubnation i'm. Ready i'm ready dub.
Speaker 2: Nation and we talk about The warriors moving forward a,
Speaker 2: lot but it's fascinating to Hear Steve kerr reflect on
Speaker 2: how they got back to the finals after missing the
Speaker 2: playoffs two straight.
Speaker 3: Years what was the, reason what.
Speaker 2: Was the answer of The Steve kurr, said you might
Speaker 2: Wonder Steph curry because why wouldn't it.
Speaker 3: Be why wouldn't it. Be it's Always.
Speaker 2: Steph it was Always Steph, Curry Steph, Wardell Stefan.
Speaker 3: Curry everything good about The warriors revolves Around. Steph take Out.
Speaker 3: Steph no more light.
Speaker 2: Years So curR said that the genesis of this, TEAM
Speaker 2: i guess shedding their skin or becoming a butterfly again
Speaker 2: out of being a caterpillar was when he signed his four,
Speaker 2: year two hundred and fifteen million dollar. Extent unlike a
Speaker 2: lot of, Stars Lebron James, Lebron curry put almost no
Speaker 2: pressure on The warriors to quote unquote win now and
Speaker 2: get another star. CURSET a lot of stars would have, said,
Speaker 2: no you have to trade all these young assets for a.
Speaker 3: STAR i need a Star, organizationally the decision was let's
Speaker 3: grow these young guys so we can have a bright.
Speaker 2: Future very few people And steph shoes would have, said all,
Speaker 2: Right i'll embrace.
Speaker 3: It let's go to.
Speaker 2: Work instead of making a, big splashy trade like they were,
Speaker 2: saying maybe they would go out and get. Beel remember
Speaker 2: that that was big. News Ben Simmons thank god they
Speaker 2: didn't do. That Who they use their two first rounders
Speaker 2: on young Players kaminga And Moses, moody very, young probably
Speaker 2: never gonna.
Speaker 3: Truly truly contribute in a meaningful way While steph is
Speaker 3: in his. Prime but they don't. Care he's gonna be changing.
Speaker 3: Diapers he doesn't.
Speaker 2: Care don't even get me started On James. Wiseman we've
Speaker 2: talked about that a million in bajillion. Times But steph
Speaker 2: just listened To Bob myers and the plan, was we're
Speaker 2: gonna win. Now we're gonna keep this team, together The
Speaker 2: corps is staying, together and we're gonna draft a bunch
Speaker 2: of youngsters so that this team never falls off a.
Speaker 2: Cliff we had a big mortgage on This Chase. Center
Speaker 2: we're not about to go back into mediocrity when your
Speaker 2: little lass.
Speaker 3: Retires and they Asked. Steph. Hey, also by the, Way
Speaker 3: draymond fell in.
Speaker 2: Line he even voiced his support For kamingo on draft
Speaker 2: night all the way From japan during The, olympics if you.
Speaker 2: Remember and so they Asked steph why he didn't use his,
Speaker 2: leverage And steph, said that's not HOW i. Operate there
Speaker 2: were conversations in different paths to, take and we all
Speaker 2: had conversations about going different, ways meaning they probably didn't initially.
Speaker 3: Agree but at the.
Speaker 2: End of the, DAY i have a lot of trust
Speaker 2: In Bob, myers a lot of confidence and what we're.
Speaker 3: About there was no.
Speaker 2: Panic obviously a help that we won a couple of
Speaker 2: championships that affords some, patients but there was no panic
Speaker 2: in terms of getting, Me clay And draymond another run at,
Speaker 2: it figuring out how he could get pieces around us
Speaker 2: to make it. Work just patience at the end of the.
Speaker 2: Day and now are back to the. Finals they Have
Speaker 2: jonathan kaminga who's bouncy only, Nineteen he came off the
Speaker 2: bench three times this playoff. Series gave The warriors, eighteen,
Speaker 2: seventeen and seventeen three separate playoff. Games what and Then Moses,
Speaker 2: moody who nobody expected to do anything right.
Speaker 3: Away he spent most of the season in THE G,
Speaker 3: league then.
Speaker 2: Out of, nowhere gave The warriors ten minutes and seven
Speaker 2: points in a closeout.
Speaker 3: Game.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous not to, mention they Found Gary payton second literally
Speaker 2: inside of a Couch Kurt cushion literally they cut him
Speaker 2: and he was like CAN i just still stay? Around,
Speaker 2: like do you? Mind IF i just like still come to,
Speaker 2: practice you have to pay.
Speaker 3: Me it's gonna hang. Around and then they.
Speaker 2: Signed him only The warriors dub. Nation we in here,
Speaker 2: discarded nobody wanted. Him has me sick to my. Stomach
Speaker 2: it tastes bitter sour.
Speaker 3: Like a bad. Diet The warriors are back to The
Speaker 3: finals with just their core.
Speaker 2: Three by not panicking taking on a contract they might
Speaker 2: live to regret Like la did With Russell. Westbrook but
Speaker 2: instead they just put their faith And Andrew wiggins And Jordan,
Speaker 2: poole who's only twenty, two by the, way and a
Speaker 2: guy Named Gary payton, second and they got to the
Speaker 2: verge of The Promised land Because steph put his faith
Speaker 2: in This Silicon valley crazy mindset of winning now and
Speaker 2: winning later. Simultaneously that seemed crazy and still probably does
Speaker 2: seem crazy to most folks on the, outside even, me
Speaker 2: while still simultaneously building for tomorrow in a sustainable.
Speaker 3: Way Golden state fans don't deserve.
Speaker 2: This they. Don't they didn't do anything to deserve. It
Speaker 2: they never did a. Thing they just continue to be.
Speaker 2: Entitled but it's. Okay i'm gonna profit from, it and
Speaker 2: we are fully of board your own negative. Commentary anymore
Speaker 2: about The. Warriors you're not gonna get, Me you're not
Speaker 2: gonna trick.
Speaker 3: Me it's All. Warriors it's, gold gold. Blooded that's what
Speaker 3: they call.
Speaker 2: It absolutely, gross absolutely. Gross all, right really quickly before we,
Speaker 2: run BECAUSE i gotta. Go we got to another show to.
Speaker 2: Do is. Over it's a. Rout boston about to kill The.
Speaker 2: Heat thank god the heater or a hospital. Wing they
Speaker 2: have no half court. Offense Jimmy butler's on one, Knee
Speaker 2: Kyle lowry's thirty pounds overweight with one. Hamstring Victor oladipo
Speaker 2: is the only serviceable guy they have right. Now tyler

Speaker 3: Team than The.
Speaker 2: Heat miami needs to go now after another score to
