Speaker 3: Criticize us about that comp most common I just had.

23
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: You don't need different shades of brown, really, you need

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: a lot of browns though they take up space.

25
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's people's number one problem.

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: That's what you told me. No skeets this week, though,

27
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: where is he he's on vacation in Italy. Eh maumbo

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: he said that at all.

29
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: I hope he says it at least once after listening to

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: this guaranteed classic podcast. But if you want to hear

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: from Skeets, he was on this week's Is This Good?

32
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: With Mattio and JD JD.

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: How was it?

34
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: I was a banger, a classic instant clast classics. Yeah,

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: a lot of Lord of the Rings talk, which we

36
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: are receiving quite a bit of guff about.

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, made some mistakes and like lore mistakes.

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, not as familiar with the Council of l Rond

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: as I find.

40
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean neither. Yeah, I do know. Is one

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: of the big complaints, know Tom Bombadill. Isn't that a guy?

42
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: That is a guy in the books who never shows

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: up in the movie?

44
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

45
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: I know that guy. But I read the books when

46
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: I was thirteen, and I saw the movies when they

47
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 4: came out, and that's basically it.

48
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: So like I heard I listened to it, seemed like

49
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: you were the expert and Matt was just coming at you.

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: Because il or fellowship is it called the council or

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: a fellowship? There are two different things.

52
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: Well, branches of government.

53
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of skeets in Italy, he said that his

54
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: Italian accent would come out mere hours after landing. Yeah,

55
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: you know, the Italian accent. How do you do I

56
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: understand the the poll to do it, but how do

57
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 3: you do it when you're there? Like, isn't it very insulting? Well?

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: I don't think it is for the Italians. I could

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 4: be wrong. It's a win in Rome literally.

60
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Literally, that's right.

61
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: You do this a lot, and you know they probably

62
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: take on the affectation. It's not even an accent, it's

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: an affectation.

64
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: That's a fair call.

Speaker 3: How do they do it?

Speaker 1: How do they do it? Go hop on it. We

72
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of things to talk to because we

73
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: haven't been here in a couple of weeks. We talked

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: w NBA last week.

75
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: We've been following the World Cup, but there has been

76
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 2: a little bit of NBA news in the past couple

77
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: of weeks. So we're gonna hop into the updown report.

78
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you to tell me if you're on it.

79
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Pretty simple, play along in the stream team if you want,

80
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: let us know down in the comments below as well.

81
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: Last week, the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved tougher

82
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: resting policy rules and punishments for star players who sit

83
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: out games and for multiple All Stars sitting out the

84
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: same regular season games. The new rules gets the league

85
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: greater oversight over discipline for miss games and ability to

86
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: find teams more than a million dollars for each of

87
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: these violations. Tests up or down on the NBA's new

88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: tougher resting.

89
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Policy, I can't go down. I have to go up,

90
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: can't go down?

91
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 3: Can't We're talking about in theory, more players playing more games,

92
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: so how can you not go up? That being said,

93
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: I think this is more about perception than anything, because

94
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: players and teams can still right into the NBA and

95
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: still still send their absent notes and say, my guy

96
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: has an injury history, he can't play next week. What

97
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: the rules say now is you have to send in

98
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: a note. It literally is like going to school. You

99
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: have to say, yeah, it's a doctor's note, as long

100
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: as your your reason isn't my dog ate my homework.

101
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: It's Kawhi Leonard just came off surgery. He's not going

102
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: to be playing first week of the season, the Clippers

103
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: have a back to back. All the Clippers' front office

104
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: has to do is say Kawhi is not playing in

105
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: this game because he's coming off surgery, and the league

106
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: is going to accept. So it's all about communication. That's

107
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: what this changes. Really. I'd say like a bunch of

108
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: these guys, this affects forty nine players, Like twenty percent

109
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: of them can just write in absent old because it's

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: just the rule of if you're thirty five and you've

111
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: played X amount of minutes like Steph lebron kd Damar,

112
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: James Hard and Chris Paul, Mike Conley, Steph, they can

113
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: sit whenever they want as long as you're communicating. So

114
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: there's gonna be people in the front offices now that

115
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: have these jobs to say, hey, this guy has to sit,

116
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: this guy has to sit. That's their job now. So

117
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: I really do think in the end, it's about perception

118
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: and a key date when the NBA can start negotiating

119
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: a TV deal. March ninth, twenty twenty four. That's when

120
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: the league can say to ESPN and ABC, Hey, our

121
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: new CBA is coming up. When we're cracking down here,

122
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: we're cracking down on players playing. TV deal is up, ESPN, TNT, Amazon, Apple,

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: see what we're doing here. And so I think that's all.

124
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about. We all know the sir,

125
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: it's playing less games. I think that's the answer. Teams

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: are still going to do what they have to do

127
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: as long as they communicate. They're still gonna have to

128
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: sit guys. Will there be more fines, Yeah, but do

129
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: you really think it's gonna change that much. Guys will

130
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 3: play a few more games. So all in all, I

131
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: say it's a positive.

132
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, you gotta go up because it's gonna

133
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: mean players playing more often. But I'm totally with you.

134
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: This is all about the next TV deal. You say

135
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty four, I'm like, oh man, that's that's

136
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: so far from now.

137
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like.

138
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: Six months basically. But with Silver coming out and saying

139
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: at his press conference, we're an eighty two game league

140
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: and we want to reinforce that principle that to me

141
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: was him saying, don't worry TV networks, don't worry Amazon,

142
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: don't worry Apple. We're not going to a sixty five

143
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: game season. We're not going to a sixty game season. Sure,

144
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: we're going to keep playing eighty two game seasons. You're

145
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: still going to have programming from October the end of

146
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 2: October through the middle of June. We're even adding things

147
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: in the end season tournament as well well. So yeah,

148
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: there are caveats of older players not being able to

149
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: get out of these games as well. If if they

150
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: need to rest players with unusual medical histories, I think

151
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: is what it was termed like, you're saying Kawhi Leonard

152
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: coming off of surgery or something along those lines. There

153
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: will be ways that people can get out of it.

154
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: But the league is trying to be a good partner

155
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: here and trying to show to fans if you come

156
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: to a big time game, you're most likely going to

157
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: see the star players, and that's the big thing. They

158
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: want them playing in the national TV games first and foremost.

159
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest draw here because those are

160
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: the ones that bring in the biggest dollars. And then

161
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: number two, you heard Silver mention a couple of times

162
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: the N Season tournament. They're really trying to make this

163
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: thing work. So they want everybody playing.

164
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: They want those dollar dollar bills coming in and no

165
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: hesitation from the dollar bill payers in the advertisers, right,

166
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: because you're right, national TV or in season tournament game.

167
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: If a player misses those, that could trigger an investigation.

168
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: There's a few things that could trigger an investigation which

169
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: could lead to a fine, missing one of a National

170
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: Tea game or an N season tournament game, or multiple

171
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: star teammates missing the same game, or inconsistent statements contradicting

172
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: player status. Where I do think this is good actually

173
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: after reading about it and going through it, it's at

174
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: the end of the season, when a team is out

175
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: of the playoff picture. They can be fine if they

176
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: sit Bradley Beal for instance at the end of last

177
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: year Damian Lillard. So those ones, I actually feel like

178
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: that that's some good stuff right there. They will have

179
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: to show up. They can't just play for thirty seconds

180
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: as well. They have to play for a good chunk

181
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 3: of time in games. It's just hard to take extremely seriously,

182
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 3: like this isn't about the dollar dollar bills, which I'm

183
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: all for because the players get a big chunk of

184
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 3: that TV deal in twenty twenty five, I don't know

185
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 3: how we'll be watching games, but Adam Silver wants to

186
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: get paid for eighty two. But I just it's hard

187
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: to really buy into it because Adam Silver, at his

188
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: press conference last week announcing these resting policies kept saying,

189
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: you know, in the news, how the decongests and the drug,

190
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: talking about the drug and decongestins and how it actually

191
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: doesn't work and relating that to the science behind players

192
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: sitting when at All Star weekend he was saying players science,

193
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 3: there's science.

194
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, medical data backs this up.

195
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: So it's him playing politician here big time and trying

196
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: to appease both sides. And he can't get mad about

197
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 3: it because again, the players get a big chunk of

198
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 3: the money because the CBA is written well, so it

199
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: can't get mad about that.

200
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

201
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: And it's actually kind of funny because these are fines

202
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: that go against the teams rather than against the players.

203
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: So if a team is fine for resting their guys,

204
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: half of that fine goes to the Players Association, which

205
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: then gets distributed to players as part of the CBA.

206
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: So that's kind of funny that resting will benefit them

207
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: in the long run as well. A couple other things

208
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: I thought that were interesting about this is Silver talking

209
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: about quote it becomes maybe even the more a notion

210
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: of stature around the league as opposed to absolute needed

211
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: rest or It's part of what being an NBA player

212
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: that you rest on certain days we're trying to move

213
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: away from, he says. He's basically saying, just because you're

214
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: sick with it doesn't mean you get to rest because

215
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: you're the best player on your team, which I think

216
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: is fair. You know, we've seen a lot of young

217
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: players resting when you wouldn't necessarily expect a guy who's

218
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: twenty two years old to take a day off. Maybe

219
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: the science supports it, or maybe it doesn't, but Silver's

220
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: basically saying, just being the best player on your team

221
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you get to rest all the time. You

222
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: got to be the best player on your team and

223
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 2: also old. I also thought interesting is that the NBA

224
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: actually defined what a star is for us. The NBA

225
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: defines a star player as someone who has made the

226
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: All Star or All NBA teams in any of the

227
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: three previous seasons. I think it was John Hollinger who

228
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: noted that if you include the three previous seasons, that

229
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: loops in Kawhi Leonard, which seems to maybe be the

230
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: point of going three seasons back, which brings me in

231
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: my question for you, task you think this will become

232
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: known as the Kawhi Leonard rule. He's the guy who's

233
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: most known for resting.

234
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: Every thumbnail about this story. It's Kawhi Leonard and Paul

235
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: George and some other poor clipper gets looped in because

236
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: they're sitting like Norman Powell on ESPN, just gets kind

237
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 3: of looped in. Yeah, that's a really good question. I

238
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: don't think so you know who who it really affects.

239
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: I think I think the Golden State Wars is going

240
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: to be the biggest team just because they have many

241
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: stars that classify here if I'm correct, Steph Draymond, Andrew Wiggins.

242
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: Clay doesn't, but those are he's out of the three years.

243
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: But it's the teams with the national most national TV games,

244
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: And I think that's the thing that I take away

245
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: from this is they're making such a clear demarcation between

246
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: national TV games and local games, and it may even

247
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: help the bad teams who aren't on national TV because

248
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: let's say the Warriors, they're part of a back to

249
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: back first month of the season. Phoenix has got Portland

250
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: and Golden State back to back. Portland's a local game,

251
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: Golden State's national TV game. Devin Booker, you got to

252
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: play in a Golden State game, You got no choice, dude.

253
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 3: But Portland, that's a local game. You can sit that one.

254
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: So it kind of helps. If you're one of the

255
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: few teams that doesn't have many national TV games, or

256
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: a team that doesn't have stars, your guys can rest freely.

257
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: Like Cade, Cunningham doesn't fit the bill. Mckel Bridges doesn't

258
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: fit the bill right now, Victor Wan Binyamma doesn't fit

259
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: the bill right now, but that could change if they

260
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: become All Stars. So yeah, it's just it's it's odd

261
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: how the NBA is basically saying local games don't matter

262
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: as much.

263
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, what's it mean for the Bulls Man They

264
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: have hardly any national TV games, but somehow they have

265
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: three stars because of Boots making all star tasks back

266
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: when he was with the Magic the Big Three in Chicago.

267
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: They can't all rest together. Watch out Moving on minor

268
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: sham'sbamb The Lakers have signed five year veteran Jared Vanderbilt

269
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: to a four year, forty eight million dollar extension. Vanderbilt

270
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: played the end of last season in La, coming over

271
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: in the trade with the Utah Ja He's only twenty

272
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: four years old. Task you up or down on the

273
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: Lakers Jared Vanderbilt extension.

274
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: I love me some. Jared Vanderbilt surprised me when you

275
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: said he's twenty four years old. He seems like he's

276
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: just a grinder and he's been around for a bit.

277
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 3: We talked about the Christian Wood signing, and to me,

278
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: the best part of the Christian Wood signing was that

279
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: it would get Anthony Davis to the playoffs healthier. I

280
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: take that back, it's Jared Vanderbilt who's going to do

281
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: that job. Because Jared Vanderbilt, even though he's not a center,

282
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: sometimes when he plays with Anthony Davis or he plays

283
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: with even with Christian Wood, he's the guy who's going

284
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: to be grinding, defending centers. He defends everybody. Problem is

285
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: he can't shoot, so sometimes he gets played off the

286
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: floor when it comes to the postseason. And technically he's

287
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: not a center, but really, he's their best backup center.

288
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: He's better than Christian Wood, of course, you can rely

289
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 3: on him more. He's better than Jackson Hayes. So the

290
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: Lakers do lack in size, but this guy makes up

291
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: for it in grit. I don't know if he's gonna

292
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: get a lot better. I just don't know. Even though

293
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: he is, he's a very very useful player, and especially

294
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: in the regular season, so I think his job is

295
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: to get everybody healthy to the postseason, like hopefully the

296
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: three ball comes a little bit more. But twelve million bucks,

297
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: it's a useful contract if you want to deal it

298
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: out as well.

299
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, twelve million dollars, that's hardly anything considering heading

300
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: into this summer, people were talking about Austin Reeves maybe

301
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: getting one hundred million dollars. They got Austin Reeves and

302
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: Jared Vanderbilt for a combined hundred million dollars. After looking

303
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: what Reeves signed on, and you're right, I think Vanderbilt

304
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: probably more useful in the regular season. But you got

305
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: to play through the regular season so that the Lakers

306
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: don't end up in the play in tournament once again.

307
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: And then he was okay in the playoffs. Until he

308
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: got game planned against and couldn't really stand on the

309
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: floor against the Nuggets. But at least now the Lakers

310
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: have some more optionality with Ruy Hachimura.

311
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: He's got size.

312
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: Like you're saying, Christian Wood can play with Davis, he

313
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: could play with and with Jared Vanderbilt as well Torrian Prince.

314
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: He's kind of in between three and a four maybe.

315
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: So I have for you though, task is who do

316
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: you think is gonna end up starting for this Lakers team?

317
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: Lebron definitely, a D Definitely Austin Reeves. He's their third guy.

318
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: Who's the other two you're looking at? Probably another guard

319
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: and another.

320
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: Big Yeah, well, it's the platoon at the point guard spot,

321
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: whether it's d Angela Russell or Gabe Vincent. I think

322
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: Gay Vincent might take d angel Russell's job at some point,

323
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: and then the fifth it's probably Ruy. He is huge

324
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: and that helps out. But it could be Jared Vanderbilt

325
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: just because he'll go guard the guy that Lebron doesn't

326
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: need to guard on the perimeter and then Lebron can

327
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: roam and do his thing. So yeah, it's it's Jared

328
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: or Ruey, but Ruey's got to start in the postseason

329
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: when it comes down to it. They got options now,

330
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: they got options now. Yeah, they're deeper and younger. Jared

331
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt is twenty four. I just heard, you know, ru

332
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: Ruy's fairly young. Austin Reeves is fairly young, and so

333
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: you know, we think of I think of him as

334
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: an older team because it's headlined by Lebron and Anthony

335
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: Davis is in his thirties now, and you want to

336
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: hold his minutes back. But they were so good in

337
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: the second half running because they got a lot of

338
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: young guys here. And yeah, again that twelve million dollar

339
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: it could be a trade ship. You know, you always

340
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: got to think about the Lakers looking down the road.

341
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: You added a twelve million dollar You added a decent

342
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: contract to go along with the Reeves and Vanderbilt contracts.

343
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: I thought the Gay Vincent contract was good. Daniel Russell's

344
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: getting paid way less this season than he was last

345
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: year because his contract goes from what it was like

346
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: thirty down to eighteen or something like that. So they

347
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: in the new NBA, it's it's harder to find the twelve, fifteen,

348
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: eighteen to twenty million dollar contracts as we get into

349
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: the new CBA, it's max's and lower salaries. But they've

350
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: got a ton of them, so you know, if somebody

351
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: becomes available, they can go get another start. But they

352
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: already got Austin Reeves, who's become underrated to overrated, underrated

353
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: to overrated, but he's freaking good no matter how you

354
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: cut it. Size is the problem when it comes to Jokic,

355
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: for sure, that's what they'll probably be looking at. Another

356
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: big Yeah, sizes the problem. We talked about it when

357
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: they brought in Christian Wood.

358
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: It kind of.

359
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: Jovan Buha at least made it sound like it came

360
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: down to Christian Wood in Bismack Biambo, which is quite

361
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: the choice to have to make. But it brings us

362
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: into our next question. Another miner schamsbamb from last week.

363
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: Eight time All Star Dwight Howard is meeting with the

364
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors this week. He's thirty seven years old,

365
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: last playing the NBA in the twenty one twenty two season.

366
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: He says he's ready to contribute in any way possible.

367
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: I suppose he could have been a Laker. That's a

368
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: big guy if they wanted him. Yeah, But tass I

369
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: was looking at your Twitter profile this week to try

370
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: and find a good opening line for you, and I

371
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: saw that you had tweeted about Dwight Howard twice in

372
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: a row.

373
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: So I assume you're up on this.

374
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: You know, I was excited. I remember my Dwight Howard

375
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 3: comment about defending Jokic. What was my other Dwight?

376
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: I think the other one was like somebody thought he

377
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: was Kevin duran.

378
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: Right right, right, yeah, because there was a fan when

379
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: he was in Taiwan's summer in Asia that thought he

380
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: was that. We did so cool meeting Kevin Durant with

381
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: a photo of Dwight Howard. So do the Warriors think

382
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: they're getting back KD?

383
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: Look, I'm going up.

384
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: It's Dwight Howard who defended Jokic all right in the bubble.

385
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 3: It was great in the bubble. Yeah, okay, so it's

386
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 3: a few years ago. Obviously he's older, He's gonna be

387
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: thirty eight this season. But this is about ten minutes

388
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 3: of throwing your body and Nikola Jokic in the postseason,

389
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: just hitting that dude for ten minutes, and I am, yeah,

390
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: what what I xed? Don't jump on there often, but

391
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: I think it was worthy to say in this particular instance,

392
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: Kevon Looney, Draymond Green, and Dwight Howard I think would

393
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: be the best Western Conference center group to defend KIC

394
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: and it's it's it's better than what Phoenix has got

395
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: that I don't know. I'm optimistic on the Lakers and

396
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis trying, but they still need somebody else. And

397
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: so the Warriors, obviously they're going for it. They're old

398
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: on the bench now. It was really really weird. Chris

399
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: Paul probably gonna be on the bench, Dario Sarch and

400
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 3: Dwight Howard if he does sign. So they're playing a

401
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 3: win for these Vets. Like you could look at this

402
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 3: team and say they may fall apart. There are some

403
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: bodies there that won't get there to the end, but

404
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: they do have young guys in Kaminga and Moody, so

405
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: I like it. Chris Paul and Dwight Howard's weird, but

406
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 3: I mean Dwight's gonna throw down some dunks.

407
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: That is weird.

408
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: If they are like running the pick and roll together

409
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: off the bench for the Golden State Warriors. Considering last year,

410
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: the Warriors came into the season still trying the two timelines.

411
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: They had Jordan Poole at the time you mentioned Kuminga

412
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: and Moody. Now they're going to have like two of

413
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: the oldest guys on the league coming off the bench

414
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: trying to take down a Nuggets team who is quite

415
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: obviously in their prime. But you're right, the Warriors absolutely

416
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: need a little bit more size. Draymond and Looney are

417
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: locked in as they're bigs, but everything after that is

418
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: definitely a question mark. Sarrich, I think is a good

419
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: small ball player. He ain't helping you against Jokic, though,

420
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: and then it's a rookie and Trace Jackson Davis and

421
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 2: Gary Payton the second who is like a six foot

422
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: four power forward somehow. I also saw that Shaan's reported

423
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: two way deals for the Warriors with Usman Garuba and

424
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: Nimias Quita, who last played for I think the Sacramento Kings.

425
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: You think they'll probably only keep one of these guys

426
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: between Dwight, Garuba and Queta. You think Dwight's the.

427
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: Guy is Yeah, that that's how the numbers work out

428
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: for this.

429
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: I think they're at sixteen players already or something like.

430
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: I think they have to cut somebody coming into trinding

431
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: camp eventually.

432
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Garuba a rocket last year, you know, just a

433
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: perimeter defender, get into you, extremely physical. He may he

434
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: may have enough of those guys, and yeah, I think

435
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: Dwight would probably be the answer unless I mean he

436
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: fills out the bench well. And I like how they're

437
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: absolutely going for it. I know it'd be nice to

438
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: have Queta Portuguese guy in the NBA, so Skeets can

439
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 3: take some photos from p as well. You know, he

440
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: loves to take his his photos. If we got an

441
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 3: update yet, I'm sure there's some online already, but.

442
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: They've seen a story or two.

443
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it's dwighte simply because those ten minutes

444
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: are more valuable against Jokic than probably those other guys.

445
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 3: I mean they're they're looking for wings too, but yeah,

446
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: it's it's just you know what, Dwight knows his role

447
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: for sure. He helped win a championship a few years

448
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 3: ago when they beat Yokic in the bubble. Obviously, Jokich

449
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 3: is way better now and he can figure out Looney.

450
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: He can figure out Draymond to a point. You know,

451
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: Draymond plays him physically well, but this is Jokic nobody

452
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: can stop him. So Dwight will be out there are

453
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 3: his thirty eight year old legs somewhat fresh because he

454
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: played in Taiwan last year. I mean, he had some

455
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 3: knee problems, but he's playing a lot of minutes there,

456
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 3: not as many games as the NBA, so maybe maybe

457
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 3: he's all right. I don't know. Dwight is such a

458
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: you know, he's obviously a character. He's he's this is

459
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: how much of a character he is. He was in

460
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: Taiwan for an extra month after the season, just hanging.

461
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: Didn't come back.

462
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: All he was doing was like putting out social media

463
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: videos trying to recruit people to come play with him

464
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 2: in Taiwan. Yeah, and also to try to get back

465
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: on Team USA. But if not, I'm gonna drop eighty

466
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: five on you for Team Taiwan.

467
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

468
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: I think Dwight is the choice here. I think in

469
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: a vacuum, I'm probably taking Garuba. I thought he was

470
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: pretty solid in the Feeble World Cup. He's still a

471
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: young player, but the Warriors don't really need upside swings

472
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: at this point, and everybody's got to find a way

473
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 2: to deal with Jokic in the Western Conference, specifically. I mean,

474
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 2: I guess if you're in the East, you're thinking we've

475
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: got him beat or if we've got Yannis, maybe we've

476
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 2: got a shot against that big guy. But the Warriors

477
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: don't have that, So it'd be interesting man, Dwight Howard

478
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: and Chris Paul on the Warriors off the bench, that

479
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: would be wild times.

480
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 3: Man. Yeah, and is Chris Paul comfortable coming off the bench?

481
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: That's a huge storyline coming into this next month. I

482
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 3: think he will be What the hell do I know?

483
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. He seems a little grumpy about it.

484
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: He asked.

485
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: You know, some of the reporter asked him, this is months back, now,

486
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 3: are you coming off the bench? Well, I haven't been

487
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: told that, and so we'll see how that plays out.

488
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: You mentioned Fiba Sars was awesome in the qualifying tournament.

489
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 3: I think he is a dude that's sort of underrated.

490
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, kuminga huge question mark as

491
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: he was when he was drafted, but most of Moody

492
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: is a guy. I think Steve Kirk can rely on

493
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 3: a little bit, so he probably gets the bump over

494
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: Garuba because of that, because he can shoot too. He

495
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: played in Key minutes. So it is an old an

496
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: old squad all of a sudden for sure, like one

497
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 3: through ten other than Kuminga and Moody. Really, I mean,

498
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 3: unless I'm you know, Wiggy, Wiggy still classifies as somewhat young.

499
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: But that's it.

500
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: He's in the nbtween zone right now where it's like

501
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: he's been around for so long that you can't believe

502
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: he's still young, but somehow he still is. Uh. Speaking

503
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: about other things that are old, the Orlando Magic are

504
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 2: bringing back their early two thousands uniforms to celebrate the

505
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: franchise a thirty year anniversary. The Magic wore these jerseys

506
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: I think from the ninety eight ninety nine season through

507
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: two thousand and three. They're not the pin striped classics

508
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: that we usually associate with the Magic. These are the

509
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: starry classics from you know, their second uniforms that you

510
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: like these tests.

511
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 3: Damn and they put the pennies right beside their those

512
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: penny foam posits. Those are gorgeous. And yeah, I love

513
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: the jerseys there. Yeah, the early two thousands, how can

514
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: you not. Yeah, I'm super excited to see these and

515
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 3: Jalen Suggs in the photo mean it looks good. The

516
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: blue looks good.

517
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, these look great. I would say the two

518
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: changes that I noticed is these are a lot more

519
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 2: form fitting than they were when people were wearing them

520
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: in the year two thousand and also a lot less

521
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: shiny because I went back and watched a lot of

522
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: Randomal Orlando Magic highlights trying to find some cool Sean

523
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: Kemp dunks. And this was during like the dazzlecloth era

524
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 2: of NBA jerseys. We are like crazy, crazy, shiny and

525
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 2: very very baggy.

526
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: Who's the first player you think of when you think

527
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: of these starry.

528
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: Jerseys tests dazzle cloth, dazzle cloth shout out to East

529
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: Bay Catalog.

530
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: That's how I know what the dazzle clock.

531
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it sounds like that could be sported in

532
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings Thrown on the Dazzled Claw. Who

533
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 3: do I think of?

534
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: T Mac? Oh?

535
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I want to think of a

536
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: nineties guy just because I do kind of want to

537
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: think of the pin stripe guys. I want to think

538
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: about Shack and the winning teams and the team that

539
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: went to the finals, but probably T Mac Mike Miller,

540
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 3: I guess is number two.

541
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. I went and did a little research.

542
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: We got a short coming out about old guys who

543
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: wore these Magic jerseys. I couldn't believe, like Penny Hardaway

544
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: had one season in these, oh they when they transferred

545
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 2: over before he ended up leaving Orlando. Nick Anderson, I

546
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: think Warrem as well. So those are some pinstripe guys

547
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: that Warrem. But T Mack was the first one for me.

548
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: Mike Miller in the mix, Darryl Armstrong and a guy

549
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 2: I couldn't work into the video.

550
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: Pat Garrety.

551
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: This guy's just like a very early two thousand's Magic

552
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 2: to be pat Garrety. But he's look pretty good and

553
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: the Magic are going the full length here. They got

554
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: the entire court to match these jerseys as well with

555
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: the par k.

556
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: This is sick.

557
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: The Magic need to go back at the very least

558
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: to this word mark with the star in it and

559
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: the star on the A, the star on the I.

560
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: That looks so good.

561
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: They're thirty fifth anniversary logo looks cool too, and I

562
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: like that they brought back a whole bunch of their

563
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: old players as well, Richard Lewis, bow Outlaw, Nick Anderson, Hido,

564
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: Ryan Anderson, and Jalen Suggs rocking the various eras of

565
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: the Magic jerseys. They've had a pretty solid look their

566
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: entire life in the NBA.

567
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you throw six, can throw six jerseys other

568
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: than Ryan Anderson, he gets the starter jacket and they're

569
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: all cool and memorable. Yeah, you're you're totally right. They

570
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 3: need to put some more blue in their jerseys like it.

571
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 3: Why not just not just rock that more? They're gonna sell?

572
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, this look nice.

573
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 3: How many jerseys?

574
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: How many millions the joe Ingles are going to be

575
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: flying off the shelves.

576
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna buy a Joe Ingles jersey. Baby. That's how

577
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 3: good these look. That's how they look. They look phenomenal.

578
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: I actually went into my my bag because I got

579
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 3: a heato Magic jersey. I forget which one it was.

580
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: I couldn't find it. I was. I was busy running

581
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: out the door of it. I think he was at

582
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 3: twenty six? Then did he did he rock?

583
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

584
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: I remember that that was a Raptors twenty six, could

585
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: have won, could have won the title. He know, Turgalou

586
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: throwing it up to Dwight Howard. It was. That was

587
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: a weird finals that on nine finals.

588
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: That was a weird finals courtney.

589
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: Ly yeah, that tip man could have could have changed

590

Speaker 3: Of course he's gonna wear big shorts.

616
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: They like cornered the market on side parts in the nineties.

617
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: They had Doleiac, they had to clerk, Pat Garrity, they

618
00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: had Matt harp.

619
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: Rain that Judd Bushler had. Like every white guy you've ever.

620
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: Heard came through Orlando at some point. But one player

621
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: who's not on the Orlando Magic is numish Keta. I

622
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: said he was a two way for the Golden State Warriors.

623
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: It's for the Celtics. The people got on me like that,

624
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: Oh damn, that's true. Sick of stuff.

625
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: That's good for that.

626
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: But I don't even say he's out a two way

627
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 2: with the Warriors. This guy's out a two way with

628
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: the Celtics.

629
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: Is that news? I don't know. But let's play a

630
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: game called oh, got the headlines for a task? Pitch

631
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: them to you. You tell me if they're news or not.

632
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: Jannisantachakumpo went on the forty eight Minutes podcast, had a

633
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: whole lot to say. The biggest thing to come out

634
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: of this is quote I'm a Milwaukee Buck.

635
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: He was wearing a Buck shirt when he said it.

636
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

637
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: But most importantly, I'm a winner. If there's a better

638
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: situation for me to win the Larry O'Brien, I have

639
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: to take.

640
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: That better situation. Is this news task?

641
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say it's news, you guys, said to

642
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: compos a straightforward person, so when he talks, he means it.

643
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: Throughout his ten year career, if a media person asked

644
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 3: him a question, he's just straightforward about it, unlike other

645
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: Greeks who order a hamburger by saying sis berger note

646
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: sis God. How how many years am I going to

647
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: make that joke? You, I said to Kompo, would just

648
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: order a hamburger?

649
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 4: It's never not funny.

650
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, thank you. Well, I've been saying to

651
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: my kids recently too. She literally doesn't She just doesn't

652
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: get it. And that's what's really annoying.

653
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 4: I wou'd say half of our audience probably doesn't get it.

654
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: No, but she just doesn't get the concept. She doesn't

655
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 3: get that, yeah, the idea, right, that's how Greeks order hamburgers.

656
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: But because he's straightforward, and look, he's putting it out

657
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 3: there that he's trying to win a championship. So he's

658
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 3: declaring it. This is the second time he's done it

659
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: this summer. He told Tanya Gun Believe the New York Times.

660
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: So he's just he's doubling down, he's backing it up.

661
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: It's a fair question to say this guy's a champ,

662
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: he's an MVP. Does he have to say it in public?

663
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: Can he say it to John Horst and the front

664
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 3: office in private? I got no problem with it. I

665
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: think he is just showing what a star he is,

666
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: what a superstar he is. It's kind of like Lebron

667
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: in a way, going to every single team and emptying

668
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: the cupboard because you got to win with me. And

669
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: so I don't mind it at all. This is how

670
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: he's doing it. You know, at least he's not being

671
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: like Joel Embiid earlier in the summer where he was like,

672
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: I could go win somewhere else and he kind of

673
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: left it on the table, or you know, he left

674
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: it out in the open. I should say, well, yah,

675
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: this is what he's saying, do it.

676
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: That's all.

677
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: So I'm okay with it.

678
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

679
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: The Bucks definitely have clarity about Johannis is thinking, and

680
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: I don't think you are always getting that from superstar players,

681
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: even Lebron signing all the one year deals and keeping

682
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: the pressure on the front offices.

683
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: Remember at the end of his Cleveland tenure, there was

684
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: such a big question about if he would be sticking

685
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: around with Cleveland that they wouldn't trade their future pick,

686
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: which ended up being Collin Sexton. Is that right?

687
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: I think it was the eighth pick win whatever draft

688
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: that was a million years ago. The Bucks know what

689
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: Yannis is thinking right now, two years in advance, so

690
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: I think they should be thankful that they at least

691
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: know the task at hand, trying to get back to

692
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: a championship, which I guess is kind of another question

693
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: I have is like, what is a successful enough season

694
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: for Yiannis to want to stay with the Bucks. Is

695
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: it championship or nothing? Is it getting back to a

696
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: conference finals? Is it getting to a finals? They've been

697
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the league since Giannis

698
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: became an MVP like player.

699
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question, and I guess that's why

700
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: some people heard our friends Winhurst, mac McMahon and Bontemp's

701
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: talking about this, and they think that Giannis is actually

702
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: being ambiguous and not sort of declaring what he wants

703
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 3: from the front office, and maybe that ties into what

704
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: does it mean to be a successful season? What does

705
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: it mean to have a successful season? To me, if

706
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: there's they're totally healthy, I mean, they have to get

707
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 3: beat in the conference finals or the finals in a

708
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: in a tight series, like they can't get embarrassed like

709
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: they got embarrassed last year in five games. If they

710
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: go seven with a really good team in the Eastern

711
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: Conference finals. You know, it's it's really subjective, and I

712
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: just think that Jannis isn't a guy, he's not a

713
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: team hopper, but he just wants he wants the front

714
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: office to try. And I know that even that's ambiguous.

715
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 3: But as long as they're doing something, I'm fine with that.

716
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: Like they're coming back with the exact same team, they

717
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: should be really good. I think they could you get

718
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: a little help in the guard spot. I heard our

719
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: man Zach Low bring up Tias Jones from the Washington Wizards.

720
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: I would love that they've tried before with like a

721
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 3: second guard, because Drew Halliday is not not the guy

722
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 3: who usually sets it up. But they've tried like Malcolm Brogden.

723
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: They've tried George Hill, Tys Jones in a position where

724
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: they could go get him, they could deal a pick

725
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: at some point down the line, and you know, if

726
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 3: they if they want to win, which they will, they

727
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: just have to make a move because they're they're top four,

728
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 3: are set in Holiday, Middleton, Gianison Brook. If Tyas Jones

729
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: is there, I love that move. I love that to

730
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: set them up. So yeah, I think you we'll see

731
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: Bill they'll make a move. I'm pretty sure they will,

732
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 3: and Gianis will say, Okay, that's good.

733
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess they just got a while.

734
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: Then.

735
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: I guess Tias Jones would help. He's a younger guy.

736
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: And I think death is kind of a problem, especially

737
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: at the point guard spot for the Bucks right now.

738
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: If Drew Holliday goes down with some kind of injury

739
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: at a poorly time part of the season, whether it

740
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: be towards the end or even in the playoffs, like

741
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: they're talking about two way guys coming off the bench,

742
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: or like ty Ty Washington who has bounced from team

743
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: to team to team and now ended up in Milwaukee.

744
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 2: Maybe he ends up good, but that's still a lot

745
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 2: of trust to have for a team that's trying to

746
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: win a championship here and now has the clock ticking

747
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: on them. I think this is going to hang over

748
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: the bucks head the entire season or the kind of

749
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 2: thing that once they get going, start having a little success,

750
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: maybe they are able to put on the back burner.

751
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good question. I say back burner because

752
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 3: it's Giannis and he's won. You know, they have a championship.

753
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 3: You win a championship like Lebron did in Cleveland, that's

754
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: a championship starve city. You're set for life. And so

755
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 3: even if he goes at some point a few years

756
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 3: from now, I think all will be good. And so, yeah,

757
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 3: he gets that pass, and I don't I don't think

758
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: like there will be any prompts like Damian Lillard showing

759
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: up to camp. He'll show up, James Harden, you know,

760
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 3: there will be problems there. There will be questions for him,

761
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: There'll be questions for Dame, for Jiannis. He's going to

762
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: show up and he's gonna freaking work his ass off,

763
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: and so I'm not too concerned about that.

764
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: He's being straight up. We ask our athletes to be

765
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: straight up.

766
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: I think this is pretty much as straight up as

767
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: you can get without you know, him asking for this

768
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 3: player or this player or this player. So I think

769
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: he'll show up. I don't think there'll be problems. You

770
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 3: think there'll be any issues in Milwaukee.

771
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: No, I'm totally with you.

772
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: I think Janis's comments are basically saying I need everybody

773
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 2: to come into the gym or come into the front

774
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: office making deals and work as hard as I work,

775
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: so you can't show up to training camp and slack

776
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: off then. But I also didn't really think we would

777
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: hear Yanis putting pressure on the front office through podcasts

778
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: and through interviews with The New York Times. It's like

779
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: random stuff that he's just going out and talking. I

780
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: think this is the first podcast he's ever been off,

781
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 2: is what they said. So that's pretty crazy. I wonder

782
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: if the Bucks are like, maybe stay off podcasts a

783
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: little bit. We shall see other stuff that Yana said

784
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: in that same forty eight minutes podcast, Jana's announced he's

785
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: going to go work out with a Keem Elijahwan down

786
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: in Houston.

787
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: It's this news test.

788
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: Come on, baby, this is news. Yeah, this is the

789
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 3: nostalgia factor. I love it, and we know the play

790
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: that he's going to be working on with a keem

791
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: Olajue Janis gets isolated on one side, everybody else on

792
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 3: the other side. He tries to back up his guy

793
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 3: into the post and you get a turnaround jumper fading

794
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 3: towards the baseline. That's a Keem shot. And yeah, I'm

795
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: I'm excited about that. If he can just smooth that

796
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: out a little bit. I mean, he has gotten so

797
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: much better in the post. I know, we just talked

798
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 3: about the dunk dunk dunk, dunk dunk, but he has

799
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 3: gotten better at that turnaround shot. And if if there's

800
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 3: anything mentally he can get from a team, why not.

801
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 3: I think there's a there's a love there with a

802
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 3: team with their Nigerian heritage. He said in that same

803
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: podcast his parents grew up adoring keem Olajohn. He was

804
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: the best athlete in Africa, he called him. They're of

805
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 3: the same tribe, the Yoruba tribe. So like he doesn't

806
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 3: go on podcasts, he doesn't work out with anybody, as

807
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 3: he said in the podcast. I love that he said,

808
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 3: I don't.

809
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't.

810
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 3: I don't work out with anybody because it takes away

811
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 3: my edge because I'm too nice and so I don't

812
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: work out with guys that are in the NBA. But

813
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: he's worked out with Kobe KG and now a Keem

814
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 3: he's going down to see. So this is I don't

815
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 3: know what this is actually. Is it more of a

816
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: nostalgia thing for him because he's I think he just

817
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 3: loves Hakeem or is it working on his game. Probably

818
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: a little both, but why the hell not?

819
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right, it's probably both.

820
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: Like you're saying, like Jannis is already one of the

821
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 2: top seventy five players of all time, he doesn't necessarily

822
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: need to be going a decade into his career to

823
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 2: learn post moves from one of the all time greatest

824
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: at post moves. But he can, and it's gonna help

825
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: because Giannis is already great in the post, but he's

826
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 2: basically just trying to run you over and he's lowering

827
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: the shoulder and finishing over the top with a dunk.

828
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: As he gets older and older, maybe he wants to

829
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: take less bumps and that's something you could learn from Hakeem,

830
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: how to playoff, how to play off contact in the post,

831
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 2: and how to not just run over people. So I

832
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: think that could certainly help him in man if he

833
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 2: adds a dream shake. It's jober this guy's gonna average

834
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: forty points per game. But Jannis is recovering from knee surgery.

835
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: You mentioned he doesn't work out with opponents, but I

836
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 2: did see he has been on the court, and he's

837
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: also been on the court with Jimmy Goldstein, So I

838
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 2: don't necessarily know what Jimmy Goldstein is teaching Yiannis at

839
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: his residence there.

840
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: Maybe hats.

841
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: We never see Yannis wearing a hat, so maybe that's

842
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: something he could pick up from Jimmy. But this is

843
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 2: very funny, to be honest, is out doing a media

844
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: tour talking about how much he wants to win and

845
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: how hard he works. But also sometimes when you're in La,

846
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: you just gotta stop by Jimmy Goldstein's house.

847
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: Let him jab step on you.

848
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 3: Jimmy and Yannis what, it's just two opposite What and

849
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: the shadow? If you're with us on YouTube, the shadow

850
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: of Giannis's hand looks awesome because we know his hands

851
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: are huge.

852
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: Oh oh my goodness, the shadow does look ridiculous.

853
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: It looks hilarious, But yeah, this is Jimmy. Jimmy's gonna

854
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 3: take him in the post. They're on a tennis court, though.

855
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 2: They're on a tennis court, and it looks like the

856
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 2: court ends at the end of the green there, so

857
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 2: be careful. I just saw some sort of I'm sure

858
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: it was House of Highlights instagram of a kid like

859
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: shooting a jumper on one of those seaside courts and

860
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: it bricks off the side and just goes flying. I

861
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: don't know if it was set up, but I left.

862
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 4: How many balls are at the bottom of that cliff.

863
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 2: That's the place to hang out. Yeah's my ball, Gonna

864
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: go down to the cliff, see what we can find.

865
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: Jimmy's loving it, though. I don't think I've ever seen

866
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: Jimmy Moore upright, you know.

867
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Usually usually he's usually sitting. I agree, Yeah, so that's cool. Yeah,

868
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: he looks good. He's looking good. You can see the

869
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: musculature in his legs.

870
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 4: He's looking pretty good. On the beach with you, Trey

871
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 4: that time.

872
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean he was more tone than I

873
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 2: was back then, I'll tell you that.

874
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: But I mean it's ten years. A lot has changed

875
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: for all of us.

876
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 2: True, I'd love to pull that cliff back up.

877
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that in a long time.

878
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy Goldstein has like a gigantic business card. It's like

879
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: a normal business card is I don't know whatever that

880
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 2: big His is like four times the size and it

881
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 2: says Jimmy Goldstein Architecture, Basketball, Fashion.

882
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: That's a business card. Maybe that's what Joannis is learning

883
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: about business cards. It's like, what are these? Why do

884
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: we need these?

885
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 4: Anyways in his hat or like pull it out from.

886
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: That's a great question. He just had one.

887
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just asking for people to ask for him

888
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: anywhere's tight pants. I don't know if he'd fit him

889
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 3: in the pants if it's that big.

890
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 4: Maybe in the top of his he he likes like

891
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: sticking his pants into his cowboy boots or whatever.

892
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, like just keep a little pull it

893
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: out all nice, but may be onto something tray because

894
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: Jannis has sort of made this the summer of business.

895
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 3: He was talking to Tanya got Ghoulie about you think

896
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: I'm getting better on the court, I'm getting way better

897
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: off the court in terms of business. So maybe Jimmy

898
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 3: has been teaching him.

899
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: Hmmm, yeah, I think Jimmy's like a people will know

900
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: a lot about his backstory but I think he like

901
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: originally is from Milwaukee, and he's never revealed which team

902
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: he's a fan of, so maybe he's loving.

903
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: Having the Bucks there.

904
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 3: But uh interesting.

905
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we see Janni's change from Nike Tech fleece

906
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: suits into Jimmy Goldstein, where we will know where the

907
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: influence comes from.

908
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: Do you have some bumber news though? From a couple

909
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: of weeks back. Pelicans forward Trey Murphy the Third tore

910
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: his meniscus during a workout and has since had surgery.

911
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: It's going to be out ten to twelve weeks, which

912
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: puts his return in mid November.

913
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 3: Task as this is of course, yeah, this is their

914
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 3: best shooter on a team that needs shooting desperately. Twenty

915
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: ninth and threes attempted. This dude hit over two hundred

916
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 3: threes going into year three, ready for a jump. This

917
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 3: is just feels like it's the start of the avalanche

918
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 3: with injuries for this team, because this guy's just good.

919
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 3: Eighteen and a half after the All Star break, forty

920
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 3: two from three on eight threes a game. He made

921
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 3: a huge jump. This guy is great and as I said,

922
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 3: they need shooting now. It's not a long term injury.

923
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 3: But CJ. McCollum, I think is the guy you got

924
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 3: to focus on your number two full year here. He

925
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,479
Speaker 3: should be better. He's got to be better.

926
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's a bummer for me. I don't think

927
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: it's that. You know, if he comes back in mid

928
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: November and looks okay, it's not that big of a deal.

929
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: But it's news because the Pelicans just have the worst

930
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: injury luck. We know about Zion and his inability to

931
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: stay on the court, but they were such a banged

932
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 2: up team last year, and Trey Murphy the third was

933
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 2: one of the healthiest guys alongside Jonas Valancunas. They have

934
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: depth to kind of make up for his spot. At

935
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: least in Brandon Ingram will be one of their stars.

936
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: Naji Marshall's a decent player, Herb Jones can be a

937
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: winger as well, and Dyson Daniels has got the size

938
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: that maybe play on the wing. But I think Jose

939
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 2: Alvarado just sprained his ankle during a workout, so he's

940
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 2: a little bit banged up coming into training camp as well.

941
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure that heals by the time the season starts.

942
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: But if you're a Pelicans fan and the way the

943
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 2: last few seasons have gone. You hate having two year

944
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 2: guys in your top seven that are already on the

945
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: shelf heading into training camp. So hopefully he's able to

946
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: get healthy. Trey Murphy the third coming into this season,

947
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 2: because that was a guy who could have been like

948
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: a most improved Player sort of pick or something like that.

949
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: Prayers up for him that he gets healed up here

950
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: because that was kind of a bummer to find out

951
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: one of the best, a good young star in the league.

952
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: It's already missing time.

953
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we know if if Alvarado is hurt. I

954
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: didn't know that at this point. Plus Trey Murphy, you're

955
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 3: just waiting for Zion. Although the workouts look good as always,

956
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 3: it's that time of year, baby, he's looking good. It's unfortunate, obviously,

957
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 3: it's a team that has an incredibly high ceiling but

958
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: a low floor because of all this stuff going on.

959
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Last little bit of news here.

960
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 2: The Houston Rockets are trying to trade Kevin Porter Junior

961
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: after the guard was arrested on felony assault charges for

962
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 2: assaulting his girlfriend Kaiser Gondrazik in a New York hotel room.

963
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks back, apparently the Rockets have contacted

964
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 2: multiple teams offering draft compensation as incentive to receive porter

965
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 2: who has this next season a year one of a

966
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: four year deal for him.

967
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: The next three or non guaranteed deals.

968
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 3: So is this news task Yeah, this is gross news.

969
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 3: It's a sickening news. It's achy that we're talking about

970
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: this potential trade of somebody who just beat his girlfriend.

971
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: And you know, allegations are allegations, and they will go

972
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 3: through the case. But I think the Rockets should cut

973
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 3: him and they can wait until they find out what happens.

974
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: The NBA currently investigating.

975
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: Right, and I just find it gross that were that

976
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: a team would even get involved with this. It almost

977
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 3: feels like if a team trades for him, that they're

978
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 3: almost complicit. You know, it just shouldn't happen. They should

979
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: cut him. And like you said, they questioned his character

980
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 3: when they signed him to the contract. They weren't confident

981
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 3: in his character. That's a very rare contract to sign

982
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 3: somebody to a one year guaranteed plus three non game guaranteed.

983
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 3: And so they should send a message to their fan base,

984
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 3: to their female fan base, to their male fan base.

985
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 3: Right is right and wrong is wrong. And I know

986
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 3: some fans will say the Rockets didn't do it. Let's

987
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 3: turn him into an asset and give somebody draft compensation

988
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 3: to take him on, and we'll get something back that

989
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: will help our team. But if I'm another team, I

990
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 3: do not want to be part of this deal. And

991
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: the Rockets really just they just gotta send a message

992
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: that this is gross, this is this is really really unfortunate.

993
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: This whole entire thing what's right is right, And then

994
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 3: I would hate to see I would hate to be

995
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 3: in another front office thinking, oh, let's take on this

996
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 3: guy's contract, even the bonus of him being on our

997
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 3: team and him being suspended, and we wouldn't have to

998
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: pay him because he's suspended. We'll save money that way.

999
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: Ah.

1000
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it just sounds gross to be like, ooh,

1001
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: is it worth getting four second round picks to take

1002
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: on this guy who were then gonna cut as well,

1003
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: hopefully hopefully as soon as the investigation is over, Kevin

1004
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 2: Porter juniors out of the league. And it's just not

1005
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's understandable from the Rockets perspective that they

1006
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: don't want to just lose an asset. But I mean,

1007
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 2: this just looks ridiculous, so bummer stuff. But they kind

1008
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: of knew it was coming. With Kevin Porter Junior, which

1009
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 2: I like you're saying they traded basically nothing to get

1010
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: him a top fifty five protected second round pick, if

1011
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, then put in all of these non

1012
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: guaranteed years into his deal because he had had some

1013
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: character concerns in the past.

1014
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: And they came to roost unfortunately.

1015
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: So hoping for the best for Kaiser Ganderzik and not

1016
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: the best on the other side of things.

1017
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: On a tweet of the night.

1018
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 3: Tweed overnight, Wow, this was a little surprising. I guess

1019
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: I had forgotten about this man. But Kelly Ubray remained

1020
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 3: a free agent and until mid September, when he signed

1021
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 3: with the Philadelphia seventy six ers, Woe was reporting that

1022
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 3: he is going to sign with the Sixers for a

1023
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 3: minimum deal. I guess we didn't report the minimum deal,

1024
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 3: but that came out later. Obviously, he's sort of an

1025
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 3: insurance depending on the James Harden situation. But this is

1026
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 3: a guy who dropped twenty per game last year. He's

1027
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 3: signing for a minimum deal. Maybe he was waiting for

1028
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 3: a better contract. Two points matter anymore, I guess not

1029
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: Kelly Ubre on the Sixers as a wing coming off

1030
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: the bench. He obviously can score. He's obviously young, he's

1031
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 3: still in his prime. He scored a bunch of buckets

1032
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 3: in this league. How do you feel about this maneuver?

1033
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 2: Uh, I feel like the Philadelphia seventy six ers are

1034
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 2: getting wing Christian Wood. Yes, Kelly Ubra Junior is a

1035
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: good athlete. I think that is gonna help the seventy

1036
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 2: six They're generally a pretty slow team. Maxi's fastd' Anthony

1037
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: Melton is pretty quick, but if Harden's around, he's a

1038
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 2: slow plotting player. Embiid doesn't want to run the ball

1039
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 2: at the court. Tobias Harris is good, but he's kind

1040
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 2: of just a average athlete in the NBA. So I

1041
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 2: can see the benefit of getting a guy like Ubre

1042
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: who's gonna run the court and look really fast out there.

1043
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: That's a nice change up for the seventy six ers

1044
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: to have. But you mentioned it. He scored twenty a game,

1045
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,959
Speaker 2: not on great efficiency, and you're not getting much else

1046
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 2: from Kelly Ubray. He's out there to score baskets. Maybe

1047
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: getting onto a good team here will help him develop

1048
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: other areas of his game. But that's what we kind

1049
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: of thought too when he was a Golden State Warrior,

1050
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 2: and that experiment didn't last all that long. He's just

1051
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 2: an inefficient kind of player, not a great shooter, and

1052
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 2: like I'm saying, he doesn't really do much else for

1053
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 2: you besides scoring. If they lose Harden, I guess they're

1054
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 2: gonna need a little bit of scoring. But I can't

1055
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 2: imagine that Kelly Ubray is the type of player that's

1056
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 2: gonna keep Joel and b he'd invested in the seventy

1057
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 2: six ers franchise. There's a reason he was available for

1058
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: a veter minimum in September after scoring twenty points per game.

1059
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, you called him the the wing Christian would It's

1060
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 3: hard to argue with that. They do need scoring off

1061
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 3: the bench, so it is it's definitely a by low

1062
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 3: hope he comes through a high type of play. Because

1063
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 3: Shake Milton left, Jane and McDaniels or no Jay Lenn

1064
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 3: McDaniels left, George and Yang left their bench, so there's

1065
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 3: points to be had. He will do that. They like

1066
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 3: their old Charlotte Hornets. They tried out Jalen McDaniels at

1067
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 3: the wing spot. That was a quick run there last year,

1068
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 3: and he's on the Raptors now. But I say, Kelly,

1069
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 3: you bray is young, but he's been in the league

1070
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 3: a long time. Yeah, eight seasons Wizards, then he went

1071
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 3: to the Suns where he was dropping points there. The

1072
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 3: Warriors said we'll pay eighty million dollars to have you

1073
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 3: on our team. How about that with that luxury tax payment.

1074
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 3: He was there for you know, a dark gear there

1075
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 3: for the Warriors in between the championships and then Charlotte

1076
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,959
Speaker 3: twenty per game. But yeah, inefficient, as you said. So, yeah,

1077
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 3: this seems to be a hope for Darryl Mory. That's

1078
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 3: that's what it is.

1079
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 2: Been a pretty quiet summer for Philadelphia. They brought in

1080
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,479
Speaker 2: Danny Green, They're bringing over Philip Petrosev, who we saw

1081
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 2: on the Serbian team. Who else have they brought in?

1082
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: Mo Bamba? They drafted that and Smith.

1083
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Kelly Eubray is almost the jewel of their

1084
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 2: free agency class right now. I know that Daryl Moray

1085
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: has said he's looking to maintain flexibility for next season

1086
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 2: because they want to be the only good team with

1087
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of cap space. We will see how

1088
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: that plays out. But this is a It's gonna be

1089
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: a harrowing season for the Philadelphia seventy six ers, as

1090
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: it is almost always with this team. But I guess

1091
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 2: they'll have cool fits in the locker room and in

1092
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 2: the hallways. You know, if James Hardenly's at least they

1093
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: still have a high fashion guy hanging around in Kelly U.

1094
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 2: Braid Junior.

1095
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 3: But and then the tuck Wagon PJ.

1096
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: Tucker exactly, and the talk Wagon.

1097
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I've ever called

1098
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 3: him the tuck Wagon.

1099
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: I like it. You slid it in there, No problem though,

1100
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: as if you say it all the time.

1101
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 3: What is a tuck wagon just because he's a big

1102
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 3: guy and his last name is Tucker, There's.

1103
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: No there's a tuck wagon a real thing, I don't think.

1104
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 3: So that's a pretty good nickname, I guess.

1105
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: If it's not, yeah, exactly right, well, I guess it's

1106
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 2: close to truck wagon. Okay, interesting stuff. Let us know

1107
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: what you think about Kelly U. Braid Junior or anything

1108
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 2: else that we've talked about. What else we got coming

1109
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: up this week? I mentioned, is this good with skeets

1110

1116
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 3: Okay, oh yeah, then they lost though. Yeah. The wild

1117
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 3: card is a wild race in both leagues. Braves obviously

1118
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 3: kicking ass. It's it's fun. Orioles Houston played a wild one.

1119
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 3: There's just some wild games happen. There's some good races happen.

1120
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 2: I feel Blue Jays they're involved in a race. I

1121
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 2: feel like right now they were in, they were out.

1122
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: Now they're in. Yeah, they got swept.

1123
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 3: My man Joel and Nobund said they're done. It's jover.

1124
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: It's over for sure. They lost to the Rangers. They

1125
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 3: lost four straight to the Rangers, who they were fighting

1126
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 3: for in a wild card spot. But then the weekend

1127
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 3: they brought it all back. So yeah, things are looking alright.

1128
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 3: They're in the race for the wild card spot. It's

1129
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 3: gonna go down to the wire. Twelve days left in

1130
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 3: the regular season, stuff like that. So it's a fun race.

1131
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that's pretty soon.

1132
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 2: Cool. I guess we got some playoff baseball coming up.

1133
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: As for no dunks, we'll be back next week, I

1134
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 2: assume though. There's seeming to be some rumblings about trades happening.

1135
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 2: People were talking about a mystery Damian Lillard team.

1136
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: Uh yesterday that I.

1137
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 2: Think it was Mark Spears said there's a mystery Eastern

1138
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 2: Conference team who may get involved in the trades. Then

1139
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 2: and then Kelly u Bray left the Charlotte Hornets. Could

1140
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 2: it be the Charlotte Hornets trading for Damian Miller. What

1141
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: a shocker that would be. I saw they're also interested

1142
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 2: in pairing Tyler Hero with LaMelo Ball.

1143
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: This just might be the time of the year where

1144
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: we're just saying stuff, you know, Yeah, we're just saying things.

1145
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 3: We're literally saying he might be a hornet.

1146
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: We're just saying words.

1147
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks, a couple of weeks, they'll pick

1148
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 3: up training camp.

1149
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: Howard hasn't played for two years in the NBA. We

1150
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: talked about him for ten minutes.

1151
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 2: Bobon is back. This is how scared people are of

1152
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: Nikola Jokich. They're like any tall guy. We got to

1153
