It's a legit grandpa 20 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: being chucked in the air by a bison. Now he's okay. 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I think he's got some broken bones, but he seems 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: in mad spirits. Yeah, holy crap. 23 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: And uh, the the actual photographer of this, I read 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: one of the reports, he's like, don't worry the grandpa, 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: and I'm assuming the grandside. They didn't do anything wrong. 26 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: This is all the bison's fault. 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what I've heard too. Somebody said, I 28 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: don't know a bison expert, or somebody compared it to 29 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: like your dog getting the zoomies. Oh, like Luna gets 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: the zoomies. 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 2: Like I'm just. 32 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Sort of like generally around you know, you know, around 33 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: dinner time, maybe just after just sort of goes crazy. 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: This has a lot of energy she needs to get out. 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: But I don't know. And I think too it made 36 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: it look like they were maybe a lot closer to 37 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: the bison than you should be, but they were actually 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: quite far, pretty far. Yeah, still that it's it is 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: sort of funny, like it's like looney tunes. 40 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: Like it's looney tunes. Like it's really jackass, like like 41 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: John Knoxville would be so proud to see the flip 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: that this guy did. Didn't need a second takes take 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: wonder and he survived, though they say he's not quite 44 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: out of the woods yet. I'm sure, like I have 45 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: to imagine every bone in his body is broken from 46 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: the waist down. 47 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he got taught. I mean, like the funny part again, 48 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: it's off. He's fine, he's fine, but like when when 49 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: it's trasing him around the trees because he dodges it, 50 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: like and then the bison gets all like caught up 51 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: in a tree and then he yeah, then he spits 52 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: back in and then he tossed him crazy crazy, This 53 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: is okay, task is okay. 54 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: I saw chad Ojo Sinko said it's easy to juke 55 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: of bison. They have no lateral movement, just hasitate left, 56 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: step right. It's that easy. 57 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: Okay. 58 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: He's a goddamn ramp off. First off, give the guy. 59 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: I'm freaked. He's not a receiver. 60 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, true, true, he's more of a defensive player. 61 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: All right. 62 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: On today's podcast, I got a few nominees for NBA 63 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: Worst of the Weekend. Yeah, it's Ash usually does Worst 64 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: of the Week, but we're doing Worst of the Weekend 65 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: because I got some phonnominees and take Trake can tell 66 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: me which one is. The worst of the worst. We 67 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: also had a few eye opening deals that we need 68 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: to discuss, both Wemby and Gary Trent Junior. We'll get 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: into those, but first, the first weekend of the twenty 70 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: twenty six NBA Summer League is officially over, and one 71 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: of the biggest performances from the past few days was 72 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: the number four pick for your Chicago Bulls, Caleb Wilson 73 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: with thirty five points. Now, this was on Friday night, 74 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: so we're going back a little bit, but I had 75 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on your number one draft pick here. 76 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: This happened on Friday night. Yeah, got a lot of 77 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: text messages about it. I saw you, saw Dave Grisham 78 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: on Saturday. Grisham wanted to talk about it. So I've 79 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: had Caleb Wilson on my mind for like seventy two hours. Here. Sure, 80 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: I'm trying to temper my reaction. I don't want to 81 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: be hyperbolic, but the Bulls are back. Caleb Wilson is 82 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: this deal of the draft. He's going into the Hall 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: of Fame, and he's going to lead the Bulls to 84 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: their seventh title. I think it's pretty obvious. It's point wow. 85 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm trying to be pretty chill about Yeah, 86 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: thirty five points, seven threes for Caleb Wilson. The scouting 87 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: report on him coming into the draft is not a 88 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: big shooter. He made seven threes during his entire season 89 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: at UNC last year. Of course, I immediately flashed back 90 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: to Zion Williamson hitting four threes in his first NBA game. 91 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: He's at twenty nine total his next two hundred and 92 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: seventy five games. Wow. So I'm not saying it's a 93 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: guarantee that Caleb Wilson is now a shooter, but apparently 94 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: he's taken two thousand to twenty five hundred jumpers a 95 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: day for like two and a half straight months. He's 96 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: working with lethal shooter. Apparently he understands it now. And 97 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: it was just exciting to see the confidence he was 98 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: shooting it with off the dribble, off the catch, taking 99 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: heat checks when John Wall was like, you better take 100 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: a heat check right now, and he made it. And look, 101 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: this is maybe gonna be the craziest thing I say. 102 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 2: The actual physical shot release that Caleb Wilson has, it 103 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 2: looks like Michael Jordan. Wow, the way his hand comes 104 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: on the caics. It's very mj Esk. I don't know 105 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: that he's gonna grow up to be Michael Jordan, but 106 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: maybe he'll grow up to be Having Garnet. I would 107 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: be fine with that. 108 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: Is yeah, you take that, You would take that. Look, 109 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: Bulls fans just must be ecstatic here because, like I know, 110 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: it's a game or two and some, but but look, 111 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: this is why you know we had the draft this way, right, 112 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: be bad, get a high pick, and hopefully then you 113 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: have a thing called potential, promise, hope, whatever you want 114 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: to call it, and you have that at least going 115 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: into the season, Like are they going to be a 116 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: good team? Probably not, maybe one of the worst teams 117 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: still in the Eastern Conference, but just the idea of like, 118 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: if this guy gets a chance, why wouldn't he is 119 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: maybe the real deal For all you see on the 120 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: court in these games, I'm just as impressed by all 121 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: his like postgame interviews. Oh yeah, god, this kid is good, 122 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: like all the saying the right things, and he was 123 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: upset it was a loss. Yeah you know again it's 124 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: like doesn't matter at summer League. But like I buy 125 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: it too. It's like, you know, he's sincere when he 126 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: says this stuff. So yeah, that was that was a 127 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: hell of a performance. 128 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: It seems like he wants to be a ball and 129 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: even after the game, he's like, I'm glad I didn't 130 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: shoot well in college because it means I get to 131 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: come to Chicago. So yeah, I'm in love with Caleb Wilson. 132 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: I would marry him. 133 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: Wow, so you have, well, you have two Caleb Williams. 134 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: That's right, it's right with the Bears and the Bulls. 135 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: Holy man, you're highving or like a you know, like 136 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 2: a predator handshaking together. 137 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh, we're gonna get something like the classic 138 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett Randy Moss sort of photo shoot. 139 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: They should do that. 140 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean, why wouldn't we get a Caleb Williams and 141 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: a Caleb Wilson. Yeah, that was great. Any other Summer 142 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: league takeaways? Like, how much do you watch of this stuff? 143 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: I'm the highlights man. 144 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably the best way to go about it. 145 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: I tried watching the Raptors game the other night. It's horrible. 146 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: There were good guys, there was there was sixty one 147 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: fouls called in a forty minute game. Like it was brutal. 148 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: And this is my team that I'm watching and there's 149 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: like some positives from players and stuff, but it definitely 150 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: feels like it's more made for just like catch the highlights. Now, no, 151 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: you're not getting the full story with a lot of those, 152 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: but man, some of these games are a slog. 153 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: But look, I mean, Caleb Wilson's not playing for forty 154 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: eight minutes. You know you're gonna have to catch some 155 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: Noah essen Gay minutes as well. And he didn't play 156 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: nearly as well, nor did Dalen Swain for the Bulls, 157 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: but the big guy coming through is huge. We also 158 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: got to give a quick shout out to Marco Belinelli 159 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: because they were saying Caleb Wilson had the record for 160 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: points scored by a rookie in their Summer League debut. Okay, 161 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: I guess that's the now official record because of however 162 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: long they've been keeping stats. He got to thirty five points, 163 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: but all of us old people remember Marco Belinelli going 164 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: for thirty seven in his first Summer League games, so 165 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: I guess he actually has the record. Nonetheless, Wilson was awesome, 166 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 2: but also Cam Boozer was awesome against Caleb Wilson twenty 167 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: three points, six rebounds, four assists for Boozer. He looks 168 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: like he's going to be the best player on the 169 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: Grizzlies from day one. To me, a lot of his 170 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: buckets came against Caleb Wilson, and Wilson's touted as a 171 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: defensive prospect as well. You can just see the maturity 172 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: that Cam Boozer plays with the versatility and the way 173 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: he finishes plays. He creates plays, he scores off the 174 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: dribble's scorer is off the catch. He just looks very, 175 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: very savvy, looks like he's a guy who's in his 176 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: second or third year playing in summer league, making the 177 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: game really really slow down. I love that moment where 178 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: he picks Caleb Wilson's pocket at half cour it goes 179 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: the other way for the dunk. The only complaint I 180 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: would have with Cam Buser is number twenty seven is 181 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: an odd choice for a big man. Yeah, you see 182 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: with a guard sometimes I guess Rudy Gobert whar's twenty 183 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: seven as well. But yeah, that was an odd number 184 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: choice to me. But he looked awesome. 185 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, I think we're gonna have a 186 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: pretty awesome Rookie of the Year race when we actually 187 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: get to the real season with these top four picks, 188 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: and then you never know, there's usually a wild card 189 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: or two that maybe pops off for a couple months. 190 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: Because Debonsa looked really good again in his second game, 191 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: twenty three points, seven boards, three steels, pair of blocks, 192 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: really nice block on Acuff. I think one was twenty 193 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: four minutes too, so they're sort of like, you know, 194 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: he's not going heavy heavy minutes. It was tough to 195 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: watch the Kings actual rotation players sort of get destroyed 196 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: by Debonsa, Will Riley, who look great as a sophomore. Yeah, 197 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: and uh, and then a bunch of G League Wizards 198 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: guys like I'm talking Nee Clifford, obviously they're high. Pick 199 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: in a Cuff who's really struggling from the floor, Dylan Cardwell, 200 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: next team, Rainol came over and he played like these 201 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: are rotation guys. Kings got like sort of crushed early 202 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: in this game that you never want that again. None 203 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: of this really matters, but like guys that are there 204 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: a couple of years, like they sort of should be 205 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: laying the ass kicking, not getting crushed. 206 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 2: Never get yes, I mean both the Kings and the 207 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: Wizards are sending teams that will be represented of their 208 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: NBA teams. Yeah, right, And it looks like the Wizards 209 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: are somehow better than the Kings. And I think probably 210 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: the worst thing you can say about a Cuff is 211 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: he seems to already be getting the James Hard and 212 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 2: Luka Dancich's treatment, where you're seeing all of his off 213 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 2: ball defensive mistakes get clipped into the highlights that are 214 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 2: being shared on the internet, kind of just saying, what 215 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: is this guy doing? Because he'll guard the ball for 216 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: five seconds and then whoever passes is off and Gary, 217 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: that guy's gonna get wide open, and a Cuff is 218 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: just gonna kind of be wandering around aimlessly while the 219 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: play is happening on the other side of the court. 220 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: So he's gonna be an guy to keep your eyes on. 221 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: I also thought Keaton Woggler looked a lot more comfortable 222 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: in his second game against the Jazz one for twenty 223 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 2: three points and four assists. He scored eighteen in the 224 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 2: third quarter. Most of them were coming off catch and 225 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: shoot threes play an off ball, which I think is 226 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 2: good because Darius Garlett, we know, is gonna have the 227 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: ball the majority of the time. For the Clippers at 228 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: least he will be their initiator to start things off. 229 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: So I think it's good for the Clippers to see 230 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 2: Woggler have a bounce back game and to see him 231 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 2: have a game that kind of makes sense with your 232 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: start and Darius. 233 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: Pis yes, much better. He's got a funky release he 234 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: does to me, yeah, but obviously one for seven in 235 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: the opener against a cuff and he bounce back like 236 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: Treeso with twenty three against the Jazz. You know, sort 237 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: of going toe to toe with Peterson there in terms 238 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: of scoring. Of all these guys, and they all look 239 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: young because we're old now. 240 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 2: He looks so young, babyface. 241 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: Like you could tell me that kid's fifteen, I'd be like, yeah, wow, 242 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: he's a big fifteen year old. But much better. As 243 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: for the Suns, good weekend, I thought from Malowatch, who 244 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: I think is important, obviously a sophomore here, so you 245 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: want to see that growth your second time around. He 246 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: didn't play a lot for the Suns last year as 247 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: a rookie, but nineteen points eleven rebounds on Friday against Portland. 248 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: Followed it up against the Pelicans on Sunday with fifteen 249 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: and fifteen, and the thing that got everybody talking was 250 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: he went five for eleven from distance, So he hit 251 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: them threes, or at least took threes and there hits him. 252 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: He didn't obviously play a lot and didn't take a 253 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: lot in his rookie season. But you know all these 254 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: guys now, no matter how big you are, you gotta 255 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: be able to stretch the floor a bit and at 256 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: least be a threat. So that's a nice promising sign 257 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: for the Suns because I think he'll I actually think 258 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: he will play for them this coming year, more of 259 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: a chance. 260 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they they're still going to need size. You know, 261 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 2: Mark is the man, Yeah, but I think Mallowatch is 262 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: the future man for the Suns. And I don't know 263 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: if he'll ever become a shooter, but least he's able 264 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: to try it out in summer League. Another guy that 265 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: impressed me. We talked about him last week, Lebarn Phylon 266 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: just looks like he's going to be a rotation player 267 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: for the Sixers. I mean, they've got their starting backcourt 268 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 2: set in Maxi and Edgecomb, but you can see how 269 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: Pylon would fit in as their third guard. Twenty four 270 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: points six as sixts against the Pacers. Just looks very 271 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 2: poised playing in pick and roll, Like he gets guys 272 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 2: on his hip and keeps them in jail. He changes speeds, 273 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 2: he changes angles. He just knows how to attack the 274 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 2: pick and roll, draw two guys and find somebody for 275 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: a bucket. So I thought that was pretty nice to 276 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: see for Philadelphia, Like it looks like they're going to 277 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: have a dude who actually plays for them, yeah, once 278 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 2: again being drafted in the twentieth. The other thing I 279 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: thought was a pretty funny Derek White coach the Celtics. 280 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 2: He did exactly what we said. The Celtics are like, 281 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: just go out there and coach, yeah, we said, And 282 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: then they just wanted to lead all their tweet about him. Yeah, 283 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: they're like nobody look. 284 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. 285 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: So maybe they'll get fined like twenty five thousand dollars 286 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 2: for not asking, but at least he got the experience. 287 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: At least he got to tell Ugo Gonzales some plays. Yeah. 288 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: Our friend Mike Sekerian is out at Summer League, and 289 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: I definitely saw him tweet about it and share a 290 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: photo and I responded, I say, hey, that's illegal, you 291 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: can't do that. League allowed to do that if you're 292 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: the Utah jass and Cante George whyk and Derek White? Yeah, 293 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: so silly. My only other takeaway was Kenny Atkinson was 294 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: on the call for some of the Cavs Summer League game. 295 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: They do this a lot when you watch any of 296 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: these games. If you do and you're a real sicko, 297 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: they'll bring a coach on. He'll sit there for a 298 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: quarter or something. Kenny Atkinson sure sounded pretty confident that 299 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: Lebron James would be returning to Cleveland. He did not 300 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: say Lebron's name, but a lot of people were reading 301 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: into how he was talking about the offseason and sort 302 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: of moves still coming. So will we find out today 303 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: this week soon from Lebron of where he's actually going 304 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: to go? And will it be Cleveland. Sure feels like 305 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: it's going to be there at this point. 306 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: It feels like it's going to be Cleveland. It's the 307 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: best ending to the documentary. Yeah, did Kenny Hackinson say 308 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: anything about the analytics? 309 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: No, I don't think. 310 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: Analytically we look great with Lebron in the line, but 311 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: we don't have it yet, so who knows. 312 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, So I don't know. There's reports that 313 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna find out this week now, you know, with 314 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: the World Cup wrapping up. I guess soon. I know 315 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: Lebron was at the jay Z Show maybe maybe one 316 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: or two nights. He was there on Friday night. He 317 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: may have been there again. Sure, so maybe he got 318 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: that out of his system now. 319 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: Now he can decide. Maybe he had his vacation. Maybe 320 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: he went to a concert time to get back to business. Yeah, exactly. Maybe. 321 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: So maybe we'll see if. 322 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: You'll play this next season with a gray beard. M 323 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: he hasn't died, it like it would be cool. 324 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to. 325 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: I am the oldest guy here. 326 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope so, I hope he leans into it. 327 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some transaction news. Let's start 328 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: with the Milwaukee Bucks signing Gary Trent Junior to a 329 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: four year, sixty four million dollar deal. Let me say 330 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: that again. The Milwaukee Bucks are signing Gary Trent Junior 331 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: to a four year, sixty four million dollar deal. I 332 00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: believe it's fully guaranteed. The contract has many skeptics, including 333 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: the athletic Sam Bessini I saw who said quote, the 334 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: NBA should probably take a look at what is truly 335 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: a nonsensical contract here, given that Trent just averaged eight 336 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: points per game and shot thirty nine percent from the 337 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: field in twenty two minutes per game last season. End quote. There, 338 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: sam was not a low. There was a lot of 339 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: people going, what the hell is going on? 340 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: Here? 341 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: Was this like a bit of a wink wink deal 342 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: for those minimums he was basically taking when they were 343 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: trying to make it work with Giannis and then Dame 344 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: and made the move and Weles Turner all that, and 345 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: then this was the thank you for taking the minimum. 346 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: Here is an insane contract for a guy that's really 347 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: struggled after last year at least, what do you think. 348 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: I don't remember a player signing a contract, And then 349 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: the reaction being we got to investigate the team. Clearly 350 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: they're two and something illegal here the lead story on 351 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: the Athletic when I opened up Theathletic dot com today. 352 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: Top left for me, why Gary Trent junior sixty four 353 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: million deal with the Bucks shocked the NBA world in 354 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: the grand scheme of themes, sixty four million dollars Gary 355 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: Trent Junior Milwaukee Bucks low level in the NBA right 356 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: right now after the Yawns trade. But this is the 357 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: thing that shocked the NBA world, because, like you're saying, 358 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: he had basically his worst season since his rookie year, 359 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: only shot thirty six percent from three, only thirty nine 360 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 2: percent from the field, fell out of the rotation for 361 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: a team that didn't make the playoffs, and they hit 362 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: him with this gigantic contract. Really really weird. He's still 363 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: only twenty seven. I guess the best thing you can 364 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: say about this is it's a nice matching salary if 365 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: they ever want to throw it into a trade. Even 366 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: after signing this deal, the Bucks are going to be 367 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: bottom ten in salary, So when they winked this, they 368 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: probably didn't think it was gonna be because Giannis was gone. 369 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: But at least they can still afford it. But wow, 370 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: unbelievable that this happened. It seemed like Gary Trent Junior 371 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: could have been had on a minimum by basically any 372 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: team in the league, but only one team would give 373 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: him sixty four million dollars, right right? 374 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: And then when you go back, you know, he had 375 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: a solid performance in twenty four to twenty five. He 376 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: actually played much better. He shot the three ball well, 377 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: and then he returned to the Bucks on the minimum, 378 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: and that was a little sort of like, wow, Garry 379 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: Trent Junior had signed a bigger deal with the Raptors. 380 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: You know, you'd made money, and then suddenly he's like, 381 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: as he enters his prime, going back to the minimum. 382 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: And that's why people are going, well, hold on. They 383 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: obviously him and his agency were like, okay, hey, man, 384 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: like we're trying to make the books work here, we're 385 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: trying to keep you honest happy. You're trying to make 386 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: all these moves. You take the minimum now, and then 387 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: no matter how poorly or great you play, I guess, 388 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: don't worry, man, we got you for a long term contract. 389 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: And so then I guess, unfortunately for Carrie Tron Junior 390 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: or maybe the Bucks too, because now all eyes are 391 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: on it, he has a shitty year, but then they 392 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: give him this deal. This is the eighth largest contract 393 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: signed from free agents this summer. Trey Young, Austin Reeves, 394 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: Walker Kessler, Iodosumu, Tarr Easton, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Kobe White. 395 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: They got more. And then it's Gary Trent Junior. So 396 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: that's why it's like whoa mill for Gary? And on 397 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: a team like there's a lot of guards on this team. 398 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 2: They traded for Taylor Hero they. 399 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: That's right, they traded for Karros la Vert. They still 400 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: have Ryan Rollins, they still have Kevin Port Jr. I 401 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: mean now they still have Gary Trent Junior. A lot 402 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: of guards here, and they still I mean, hell, they 403 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: still have Dames dead money on their books, right, somebody, 404 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: so weird, do you think anything actually comes of this investigation, 405 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: if it's to happen from the league at all, Like, 406 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: because people are like, this is sort of similar in 407 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: a weird way to the Joe Smith way back. Okay, sure, 408 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: you know that gets compared to the Kawhi scandal a lot, 409 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: but it's actually more like this a little bit and 410 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: sort of these like wink wink deals and now they 411 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: got punished in the end. True, And it only came 412 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: to light because his agency they sort of broke up 413 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: and then they sort of like turned on each other 414 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: and that's how the Joe Smith news came about. But 415 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: then they got the team got you know, stripped of 416 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: draft picks and stuff like that, and his contract avoided. 417 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: So I mean, I guess that could happen. I guess 418 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: it could happen, But people are like, maybe the punishment 419 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: in and of itself is giving Gary Trent junior. 420 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 2: Yeah you got this. 421 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like okay. 422 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 2: I don't know. The only other The one thing I 423 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 2: was thinking that also was kind of similar, was you 424 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: remember Richard Jefferson was a San Antonio Spur. He had 425 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 2: a down season. He had like maybe like a fifteen 426 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: million dollar option or something like that. He turned it 427 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 2: down and took less money but more years from the Spurs. 428 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of similar to that. I 429 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: guess you're technically allowed to tamper with your own free agents, 430 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: so they could talk about future deals with Gary Trent. 431 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: But I don't I don't know. I don't know. I 432 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 2: don't know what they're gonna do. But uh, it had 433 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: everybody talking about a Gary Trent junior contract, which was 434 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: shocking to me. I think it's crazy the Raptors traded 435 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 2: Norm Powell for Gary Trent junior like twenty twenty one 436 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: because they're like, we can't pay Norms next deal when 437 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: he's eight years old. And Norm Powell is still better 438 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: than Gary Trent junior and still making more than Gary 439 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: Trent junior even after this one. That's unbelievable to me. 440 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: A weird thing. 441 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: Also, trivia question, how much do you think Gary Trent 442 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: senior his dad who had a nine year career, I 443 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: think nine ten year career. How much do you think 444 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: he made in his career? 445 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: Fifteen mil? 446 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: It's pretty close. Eleven point four. Okay, it's just like 447 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: wild to wrap your head around his entire career and 448 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: his son is, you know, making that blink of he 449 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: has already made that. Of course in contracts he had 450 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: timing man just all the time. All right, So we'll 451 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: see if anything comes of this. Let's hear your opinions 452 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: out there in the stream. Team of Gary Trent Junior. 453 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: Is the punishment in and of itself just having to 454 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: pay him or do you think there'll be more in 455 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: the league investigates this and it's like, oh, you can't 456 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: do that because it is sort of salary cap CIR 457 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: convention as well. You know, you had this deal minimum. 458 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: Suddenly this it is weird. It's very weird. Yep. Victor 459 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: Weman Yama has signed what will be the richest contract 460 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: in Spurs history, five year CS that could exceed two 461 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. The agreement first reported by ESPN, 462 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: comes at a discount, though Wemby could have agreed to 463 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: a deal that topped three hundred million, but he chose 464 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: a lesser amount to help give the Spurs flexibility going forward. 465 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: Here and I'll explain this for some that don't know. 466 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: Because max contracts are divided into tiers, right, and players 467 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: like Wemby with four to six years of experience, they 468 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: can start their new contracts at twenty five percent of 469 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: the cap. However, players who hit certain benchmarks then can 470 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: leap up into the next year. We've talked about this 471 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: before with players. So if Wemby had won MVP or 472 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, which let's be honest, probably 473 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: likely made all MBA next season, he would have been 474 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: eligible to jump from the twenty five percent max tier 475 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: to the thirty percent max tier. But but what Wemby 476 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: is doing is basically saying, don't worry about that, I'm 477 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: foregoing those escalators. I'll take the stairs. So he's just 478 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: taking the twenty five percent max, no questions asked, and 479 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: no matter if he's MVP, while NBA there's no thirty 480 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: percent sort of bump up. Your reaction to this, which 481 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: made some waves. I guess over the weekend as well. 482 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: It did. Because anytime a player doesn't take the most 483 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: money they can get, it's gonna be notable. I guess 484 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: Chet Holmgren basically did the exact same thing, right, Take 485 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 2: in the twenty five percent and say and I'm staying 486 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: at twenty five percent. This is basically just a comrade 487 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: Wenby redistributing wealth amongst his own teams. The Spurs have 488 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 2: a long time culture of sacrificing to build their teams. 489 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 2: Richard Jefferson did it. Tim Duncan did it. I'm sure 490 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 2: it's happened for others as well. He's saving the Spurs. 491 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 2: Would you say fifty million basically over five years, assuming 492 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: he was going to hit the escalators, which he probably 493 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 2: would so early on, that means they get an extra 494 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: Harrison Barns or a Tobias Harris. And then a little 495 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 2: bit further down the line, it means that they're able 496 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 2: to pay these expensive contracts when Castle wants Dylan Harper 497 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: becomes extension eligible as well. If you're Vick, you're saying, hey, 498 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty million dollars, I will take it, 499 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: so good for the Spurs. Good for Victor. We'll get 500 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: into the players associations reaction to this, but I think 501 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 2: Wemby will be worth it. I think we believe so. 502 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: I thought there was one other interesting wrinkle to this 503 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: is from Sam Quinn. I'll give a shout out to 504 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: him at CBS Sports. He said, the single most important 505 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: element of his contract for San Antonio has less to 506 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: do with roster building than it does with load management. Because, 507 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: and this is interesting, the sixty five game rule, as 508 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: we know, and I've talked about it, does incentivize or 509 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: it has injured players sort of suit up to hit 510 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: that mark and make as much possible money as they can. 511 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: We saw it with Tyree's Haliburton. That's the one example 512 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: right now. Wemby has no contractual incentives to risk any 513 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: sort of injury or aggravating an injury to hit that 514 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: in benchmark because he's like, I'm not doing it. We've 515 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: agreed on that. So that's sort of good for him 516 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: and the Spurs that they can continue if they want 517 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: to slow play his sort of development here. He doesn't 518 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: play a ton of minutes or hasn't here, they can 519 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: keep that. You know, he did miss time and just 520 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: hit the threshold. So I thought that was interesting. I 521 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: hadn't thought about that way that, like now there's no 522 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: pressure on him or anything like that too really hit 523 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: any of these marks because it won't matter in terms 524 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: of the money he'll make. So yeah, but you're right 525 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: about the history of the Spurs and their players and 526 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: how they work. They more work together to try and 527 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: help the team. Because you said, duncan, I think Tony 528 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Parker has done it. I think he's done it. So yeah, 529 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: just add Wemby to the list. Here. He looked happy 530 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: signing the deal. 531 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: And he kind of scooped everybody as well, sending out 532 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: a like a slightly cryptic whatever it takes, I'll be here. 533 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: If it takes two hundred and fifty million dollars, I 534 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 2: will be here. Things are gonna get interesting though, for 535 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 2: San Antonio in the next couple of seasons, because when 536 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: you look at what Wemby was making last season, heading 537 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 2: into this season, he's like ten percent and under of 538 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: the cap. Suddenly he's gonna be going up to twenty 539 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: five percent. Things get a lot more tricky. You are 540 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: still even with Vic taking a little bit of a discount, 541 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: they're gonna have to make tough choices about who to 542 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: sign for long term, which players they determine are expendable 543 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: or aren't gonna be a part of the future. And 544 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: this is just kind of the first step. So Wenby 545 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: goes from being like a great discount contract. He could 546 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 2: probably still be a discount contract at a twenty five 547 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 2: percent oh yah number, But it's gonna be it's gonna 548 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 2: be tough for the Spurs to figure out their books eventually. 549 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, because like you said, it's like every year the 550 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: decision has to be made with like what percentage of 551 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: max guy like a Castle is up next, you know, 552 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: not this year, but the year after, and then then 553 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: it's Harper and like Fox is still there on his 554 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: massive deal. So like, I guess a lot of us 555 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: think Fox probably won't be there by the time all 556 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: three guys Wemby, Castle and Harper are having to have 557 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: been paid big money. I doubt it because then it 558 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: gets very difficult. But that's a couple years down the line. Well, 559 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Players Association because their executive director, 560 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: David Kelly, he criticized the NBA salary cap and luxury 561 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: tax system on Friday. He argued that the newly implemented 562 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: second apron must be softened to use his words or removed. Quote. 563 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: We are not fans of the second apron. Again, this 564 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: is Kelly, the National Basketball Players Association executive director. We 565 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: did not propose the second apron. We should have done 566 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: a better job of fighting back against the second apron. 567 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: In the future, we will have a much more unified 568 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: union and we will do a better job of fighting back. 569 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,719 Speaker 1: He went on to say, we're seeing the apron system 570 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: decimate teams and forced decisions to be made that are 571 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 1: not basketball decisions. End quote your reaction to the NBPA 572 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: sort of saying like, you know, players got to carry 573 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: the burden here. 574 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're basically saying, whoops. We didn't realize that the 575 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 2: second apron meant that owners were going to stop spending 576 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 2: money into the second apron. Only the Cavs last year 577 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: went into the second apron. It's there basically to protect 578 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 2: the owners, to keep them from spending money, and I 579 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 2: really think to give them cover for paying to keep 580 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 2: these teams together, because at this point it doesn't make 581 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: sense from a basketball standpoint to go into the second apron, 582 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: which then means every owner looks smart for not paying 583 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 2: extra money when real in the reality, they could pay 584 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: extra money, like the Knicks could still have Mitchell Robinson. 585 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you say, and you say that because they say, well, 586 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: look look at the roster buildings. 587 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 2: To make trades. We can't segregate. We could get our 588 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: draft pick frozen. There are certainly good basketball reasons you 589 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 2: don't want to go into the second apron, But the 590 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 2: reason it was put there was from a financial standpoint, 591 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 2: the players, they get fifty one percent of basketball related income. 592 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: No matter what, the amount of money going to the 593 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: players is going to be the same, no matter what. 594 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: This just sucks for players because you see a guy 595 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: like Jalen Brown where the team says, even though you've 596 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: been here for a decade, done some great things for us, 597 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: your number is gonna hang in the rafters someday it 598 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense for us to pay you. That sucks 599 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 2: for Jalen Brown, That sucks for Celtics fans that have 600 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: grown up watching Kaylan Brown. They're gonna be breaking apart teams. 601 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 2: It's gonna happen to every team. Celtics They're breaking apart. 602 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 2: The thunder are going to have to make some decisions. Eventually, 603 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: we saw what the Wolves their top three. We saw 604 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: what the Wolves, we saw what the Knicks are losing 605 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: a player from their championship team immediately. It just means 606 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 2: that these gigantic payrolls aren't going to continue to exist. 607 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know what the deal was, but 608 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 2: the fact that the NBA PA is saying we should 609 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: have done a better job of fighting backs seems like 610 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 2: they were caught completely off guard by the way this 611 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 2: went down. 612 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: But doesn't silver in the NBA don't like, don't they 613 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: love how this is actually working, Like they love sort 614 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: of the idea of Jayllen Brown having to be dealt 615 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: and stuff like this idea of parody. Yeah, player movement 616 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: of like no super teams no matter how great you draft, 617 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: and you knock you out of the park like some 618 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: gay some say, man, that's awesome. Why aren't we rewarding 619 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: those teams? But they are almost look at it like no, 620 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: but we want to take we want to disperse the talent. 621 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: So we want we want like all thirty teams to 622 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: have maybe one or two guys or at least really 623 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: good max guy and like it's a lot more even 624 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: that way more competitive. That's how I think Silver's probably 625 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: convincing himself like, wow, this is killing. 626 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: It right, yeah, but do you think that's good? No, 627 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: not really same, it's not good for fans. 628 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: Yeah no no. But and like I think even in 629 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: this article, because people are saying, oh, look at the 630 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: apron system, man, like right now there's a leveling of talent. 631 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: We are in this long phase of like no back 632 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: to back champs, Like we're eight different teams have won 633 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: over the last eight seasons. But even he was like, well, 634 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: that was also happening before the second apron was in 635 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: place here and these restrictions were in place. So it's like, well, 636 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: is it really because of that? Yeah? Yeah. It's interesting 637 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: for those that don't know. I mean, the NBA utilizes 638 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five million dollar salary cap, Okay, 639 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: then it's about a two hundred million dollar luxury tax line. 640 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: Then any team that exceeds two hundred and nine million, 641 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: that's the first apron. That's when stiffer luxury tax penalties 642 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Restrictions come in by way of trade, 643 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: by way of free agency. And then the highest spending 644 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: teams you said, the Cavs, the ones that exceed two 645 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one point seven million. The second apron, 646 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: they incur the harshest luxury tax penalties and then restrictions 647 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: too that really make it difficult to add in free agency, 648 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: do trades and then even drafts as you get to 649 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: that second apron. So, but that's what they agreed to. 650 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: This is the thing they agreed to, and I think, uh, 651 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 2: I think now, yeah, the Union is basically like, please 652 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 2: give teams some relief for homegrown stars, is what it 653 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: seems like. We heard Brad Stevens kind of referencing that. 654 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting that Fred van vliet Block 655 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: brought up that you're hearing players, coaches, and gms now 656 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: talking about the second apron. It's not just front office 657 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 2: people right like, everybody is realizing this. But the worst 658 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 2: player to be right now is the second star on 659 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 2: a team, because they're going to be looking at you 660 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 2: sideways saying, oh, should we really max this guy? And 661 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 2: even if they decide yes, immediately your contract is going 662 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 2: to become an albatross and the team's gonna be like, 663 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: would we be doing better if we had somebody else? 664 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 2: Like I said, it's gonna happen to Jamal Murray like 665 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: he's going to be the guy when Yokich signs that, 666 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 2: and it's like, Okay, are you playing at a max level? 667 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 2: Not yet, You're out of here, even though you won 668 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: a championship. You've been here for a decade. That sucks. 669 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 2: If you're a fan of a team who has two 670 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 2: great players that you drafted, Yep. 671 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: No doubt. So look, this is in place for at 672 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: least a couple more years here, right until they can 673 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: twenty eight After. 674 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty nine series is when our season is when 675 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 2: they could negotiate again. 676 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: And I assume this will be a huge talking point 677 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: when we get to negotiating for sure. All Right, we're 678 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: gonna take a break and when we come back, worst 679 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: of the weekend. 680 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: On the biggest stage in the world. FanDuel is changing 681 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: the game because sometimes your player gets subbed off and 682 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: your bet goes with them. Not anymore, not anymore with 683 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: fan Duel's super sub. If your player subbed out, your 684 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: bet stays in. That's right. If your player leaves the match, 685 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: your bet continues on with the substitute, so you're still 686 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: in it until the final whistle. Visit FanDuel dot com 687 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 2: Slash podcast to get started now, there'd be goals this 688 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 2: summer on FanDuel. I wish we were having some goals today. 689 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 2: I wish we were having some goals yesterday. 690 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 3: I know. 691 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a little gap here between these games 692 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: and the World Cup. But tomorrow France, Spain, Wednesday, England, Argentina. 693 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: These are four powerhouses here. Yeah, so this should be fun. 694 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: Three o'clock start Eastern time here in the state. That's 695 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: part so strange. I know, there's the world, I get. 696 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: It, the country, but they're producing for the rest. 697 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: Of a clock on a workday. I mean, it is 698 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: a summer, but people do work, so yeah, fascinating. And 699 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: then Saturday, I guess is the third place match, and 700 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: then Sunday is the final. So only four games left. 701 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: They do a third place Let there be goals in 702 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: the third place match game. All right, let's get to 703 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: worst of the NBA weekend, ladies and gentlemen, the worst 704 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: of the week, and yeah, switching it up here because 705 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: I thought I had some fun nominees to throw at 706 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: TK and everybody watching live and listening later, So let's 707 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: start with this one. It was a good worst of 708 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: the weekend. Former Heat teammates Bam at of Bio, and 709 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: Tyler Hero were involved in a physical altercation in Las 710 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: Vegas on Friday morning. So morning altercation, not a night 711 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: altercation in Vegas. The incident took place at a gym 712 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: inside the Resorts World casino. That part made me laugh, 713 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to include that. According to multiple 714 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: sources who witnessed the incident, Bam walked onto the courts, 715 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: Hero maybe said something to him. Bam approached Hero and 716 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: without hesitation, boom, Bam punched him, guess in the face, 717 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: in the eye area. I think he had a little 718 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: bit of a black mark, but not too noticeable because 719 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: you saw Hero after this. 720 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 2: I mean he was at the gym, but I was 721 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: holding my phone like very close to bruise. 722 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't seem not much. No, so maybe he 723 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: didn't connect or whatever. Who knows. But yeah, so this 724 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: is in the running here, Bam. You punching Tyler's Hero? Now? 725 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: Why Well, by all accounts, it's because a fan leaked 726 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of DMS that he had with what appeared 727 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: to be Tyler Hero on an ig account, you know, 728 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 1: sort of questioning BAM's contract being the guy in Miami 729 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,919 Speaker 1: and then obviously Hero being moved, so that obviously makes 730 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: its way to Bam and whatever they have words and 731 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: he's upset about this. Yep, I guess now. I don't 732 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: think you should go assaulting somebody over critical words through IG. 733 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: Not a good luck, Bam. But what's your takeaway from this? 734 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like something that would happen in twenty twenty six. 735 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 2: To me, this is like a nineteen ninety six sort 736 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 2: of thing happening. 737 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: Like Charles Oakley was the first guy I thought him. 738 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 2: I mean, take your pick Charles Oakley versus Tyrone Hill 739 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 2: or Jeff McGinnis. I didn't think that Bam out of 740 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 2: bio was a Charles Oakley type at all, Right, but 741 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 2: apparently he is. If you're saying he's not worth sixty 742 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 2: million dollars and is only an elite defender, sometimes unusual 743 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 2: from BAM. I wonder if he will get suspended. We've 744 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: seen like off court altercations lead to suspensions with guys 745 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 2: like Isaiah Stewart and Drew Eubanks. Right, yeah, if you 746 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 2: get in a fight off the court, the NBA can 747 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 2: still punish you for that. But also weird stuff for 748 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 2: Tyler Hero to be trashing a teammate to just some 749 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 2: random dude. That's yeah, yeah, weird all around. 750 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: Very weird all around. And now, of course what's happened 751 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: is Draymond Green and you Donnis Haslam are beefing over 752 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: this because Draymond's saying, hey, Haslam, where's the energy for 753 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: calling out Bam here when you took offense to me 754 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: punching Jordan Poole way back in the day. And then 755 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: of course Haslam has responded. So there's now that's a 756 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: whole other layer that I don't know how closely you're 757 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: following it all, but yeah, it's a good point about 758 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: maybe there's a suspension here, like a game or something. 759 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: It's a good wait, the league does do this, and 760 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: it's in front of everybody. It's in front of when 761 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: people saw this, high school kids there's as well. Not 762 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: not the greatest luck. Yeah, probably I hadn't really thought 763 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: about it, but the league moves slowly with some of 764 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: this stuff. Things are just lining up here. They still 765 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: got to figure out the aspiration thing exactly. Bam, you're 766 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: at the back of the line, and get to you. 767 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: When we get to you, that's a good time. 768 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 2: To throw a fist, I got other stuff on their plate. 769 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 2: But it makes Heat versus Bucks even more spicy, like 770 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 2: it already felt like Hero was feeling some type of 771 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,919 Speaker 2: way by the Bucks, Yeah, trading for him by being 772 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: in trade rumors for a long time with the Heat 773 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 2: until it finally happened. And now, obviously BAM is not 774 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 2: a big fan of Tyler Hero, so we'll see how 775 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 2: it goes down when they actually played each other. 776 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: If we were to build an All Burner team, who 777 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: would be on it? Because you know, again, Hero getting 778 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: himself in this situation. I'm not saying BAM should go 779 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: up and punch them. That's I think you're crossing the line. 780 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: Obviously you can question them and talk to him. You 781 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: probably should have done that justin left it there. But 782 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Herro, I guess, is now on the All Burner 783 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:11,240 Speaker 1: team here yep, Captain Kevin Durant, Yes, Michael Porter Junr 784 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: has definitely is on record saying he's been in the 785 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 1: Burner game. That's three. Brian Colangelo has to be involved, 786 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: so he's got to be to the GM or the 787 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: President anyone else I'm missing here. 788 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 2: Okay, here's a controversial inclusion. Would you include Adam Silver. 789 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 2: He doesn't officially have a Twitter account, but he said 790 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 2: he has Twitter and is constantly lurking. And we can 791 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 2: tell by a lot of the decisions that the NBA 792 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 2: makes that they're clearly invested in what people are saying 793 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 2: on social media. I know he does have his Instagram account, 794 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 2: but I would throw him in on the X mix 795 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 2: as well. Okay, Ray Allen had some funny things happen 796 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 2: thinking he was on a burner and wasn't exactly on 797 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 2: a burner. Yees, feel free to google that one. Nasty Ray. 798 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 2: He seems to be a generous lover imrectly, but uh yeah, 799 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 2: if you're trash talking a fellow NBA player, guess what 800 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 2: it's gonna come out eventually. Yeah, basically the most inopportune 801 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: time for you. So don't be surprised when I happened. 802 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, probably don't do it at all, but 803 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 2: definitely don't do it to some rando rand that then could. 804 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: Just leak it all, which is what this I guess 805 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: heat fan did here and then bam got upset. Yeah yeah, 806 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: you say Milwaukee versus Miami. I don't really put much 807 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: thought into this obviously, that the Yann's factor alone. But 808 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: now you've got this little spice, like when don't we 809 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: get in this game on the schedule because this is like, 810 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, Milwaukee's not gonna be very good. No, so 811 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be to me, it's not gonna be 812 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: like an opening week game. I don't think it's not 813 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: gonna be a Christmas game by any means. I don't 814 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: know where you pat this one. 815 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 2: Yannis returned to Milwaukee would be exciting. Yeah, I wouldn't 816 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 2: be surprised if it's a first week game. Okay, maybe 817 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 2: at the end of the week Saturday, Yeah. 818 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, sure, we'll see. Okay, well, how early will 819 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: he put it? Maybe? Now the schedule makers are like, 820 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 1: we gotta get it early. Hero versus Bam they might fight, 821 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: all right? Next one here for again worst of the weekend. 822 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 2: Uh. 823 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 1: This is Lakers Center on the on the Summer League 824 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,399 Speaker 1: team William Kyle the thirds free throw form. It had 825 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: the broadcast shook at Summer League. We had stan Van Gundy, 826 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: we had John Wall on the call. And here it 827 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: is for everybody on YouTube. This is the slow mo 828 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: replay of this thing coming out of his hands, like 829 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: damn near sideways. Man, it is a funky ass release. So, 830 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: Kyle the Third's free throw form, you know, I mean, 831 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: I guess if we're I'm presenting these NBA Worst of 832 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: the weekends to you in no particular order. But is 833 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: this worse or you know, less worse than Bam punching Hero. 834 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 2: I mean, this is one of the worst free throw 835 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 2: forms you're ever gonna see. Stan Van Gundy sounded like 836 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: he just woke up, was like, oh wow. He said 837 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 2: wow three times in forty five seconds. 838 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: And then John Wall called it AI like AI trying 839 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: to like replicate the free throw. And then they're like, yeah, 840 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: but he's a shop locker. He's a shop packer. He 841 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: plays his game a shot forty five percent from the 842 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: free throw line. I don't know that's that's even possible. Yeah. 843 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 2: People were just saying, obviously, this guy's been around basketball 844 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 2: for the majority of his life, but still the ball 845 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 2: comes out of his hand that way. 846 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 1: I know, unusual, It is very unusual. It's like, yeah, 847 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: it's is this all It's it all in his head 848 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: at this point because like he's an he's a professional athlete. 849 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: It's like this kind of fixed. Yeah, but that is 850 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: it's for the podcast listening. You gotta seek this one 851 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 1: out because. 852 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 2: It's there's no flips of the wrist. 853 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 1: No, there's nothing. Yeah, it's almost almost like a shot 854 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,359 Speaker 1: type shot you would maybe do. 855 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 2: It does look like he's getting it up with some speed. 856 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, ball's coming. Yeah, just all get them up on 857 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: the rim. 858 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 859 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: Like it makes like, you know, like a jokeem Noah 860 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 1: free throw looked like right, like you know, Clay Thompson 861 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: or Steph Curry. 862 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 2: Okay, has a little Noah to it. 863 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, sort of spin which is odd. Maybe it's the 864 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: angle there. Okay, cool, So so uh what's Yeah, what's 865 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: worse bam punching hero or that free throw? 866 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go free throw? 867 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: Okay, okay? Wow, all right, Well he's on an Exhibit 868 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: ten contract with the Great and he does do other things. 869 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: He's not out there for free throws for sure. All right, 870 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: next one here, John Morant uh still adjusting to his 871 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: trade from the Grizzlies to the Blazers. Because he was 872 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: speaking to reporters for the first time since joining Portland, 873 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: and John Morant was asked to autograph a White Blazers jersey. 874 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: He obliged, but then he quickly realized he had made 875 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: a mistake. Oh my god, Jahn Morant said, I signed 876 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: with the number twelve, and you see there the jersey 877 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: is now number one. He's changed his jersey. This pick 878 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: by way of our guy Ben Gulliver, who was at 879 00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: Summer League doing a great job. So, yeah, how bad is. 880 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 2: Pretty funny? 881 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, very funny. 882 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:03,919 Speaker 3: Yeah. 883 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 2: I was watching a School of Rock recently and there's 884 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 2: a scene when Jack Black playing a character named Dewey Finn, 885 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 2: who is playing a substitute teacher named Nedge Neebly. He 886 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: takes Joan Cusack out for drinks and he's like, call 887 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,919 Speaker 2: me Dewey and she's like Dewey. He's like, uh, that's 888 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 2: that's my other name. That's what John Rant did. But 889 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 2: the one is literally right there. He reacts like, oh no, 890 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 2: I signed the wrong number. You got a practice. 891 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: He's been twelve his entire basketball mia, so that would 892 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: be tough, definitely. I mean just cross out the two. 893 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,800 Speaker 2: Interesting would you rather have a number twelve with a 894 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 2: crossed off too, or the incorrect number. 895 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: It's sort of a fun way to go about doing 896 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,720 Speaker 1: his autograph, like always cross it out. I don't know anything. 897 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: He did say something he sort of snuck in and 898 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: people are reading into it maybe, But the idea of 899 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: the changing of the number to one, it sounds like 900 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: the Blazers might have something in store for LaMarcus Aldridge. Yes, 901 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,720 Speaker 1: who you know, obviously a legend there were number twelve. 902 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 1: Maybe there's a Jersey retirement and it's going up and 903 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 1: that was a big reason why he changed. I think 904 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: that's possible, So we'll see. But that's why a lot 905 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: of people are thinking it must be Hey, what's going 906 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: on with this twelve? Are we gonna get a LaMarcus Aldridge, 907 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 1: you know, Jersey retirement, which I think he would be 908 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: deserving of there in Portland, I. 909 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 2: Think yeah, I mean, obviously that's what must be coming 910 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: down the line. I would have to check his leader's stats, 911 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 2: but I wouldn't be surprised if a guy like LaMarcus 912 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 2: Aldridge is top five and a whole bunch of categories. 913 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 2: Yea for the Portland Trail Blazers. What do you think 914 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 2: about this idea from the stream team. Everybody's saying he 915 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 2: should have just drawn a nice little number two next 916 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 2: to the one, rather than cross out the two on twelve, 917 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 2: add a two to the right of the one on 918 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 2: the Blazers jersey, so it's now a twelve jersey. 919 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 1: Oh on the actual Yeah, he's making the jersey in 920 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: time I got. Yeah, I was a little confused there. 921 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,879 Speaker 1: Well yeah that's an option. Yeah, absolutely ridiculous. Yeah, look, 922 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: I I do feel for John Morant. 923 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 2: Uh. 924 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: The odd time I've been asked to sign stuff at 925 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: live shows or fans of the show, and we have 926 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: no problem with that.

I didn't put much thought into the J 936 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 1: Skeets because I think I remember the first time somebody 937 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: ever asked for one, I was like, oh, well what 938 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: am I what am I signing? 939 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 2: I do here? 940 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: So I just went yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it looks fine. 941 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: I think good.

This is adjacent decorated boxer Shakurse 943 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: Stevenson was misidentified as Okac thunderstar Jayalen Williams midway through 944 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: Saturday Nights USC three twenty nine event. So there it is, it, 945 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 1: says Julie Williams Okaysey star Dana White.

So yeah, bad. It's so funny to me, 954 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: like he doesn't look at anything like Jael and Williams. 955 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: He looks like anforty Simon's a little bit to me though, Okay, like, 956 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a mistake, put on anfrety silence. 957 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: But yes, where does this fall in the Worst of 958 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: the NB Weekend? 959 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 2: I mean, this is pretty pretty bad. I don't know 960 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 2: who's kurse Stevenson is and he's a boxer. Yeah apparently, 961 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 2: but maybe this isn't good for him. This is the 962 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 2: first time I've heard his name. Oh true, true, So 963 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 2: even bad press is good press. I would say. Dana 964 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 2: was making me laugh though, He's like I was fighting 965 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 2: with some guys in the back. They're like, soccer's worse. 966 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 2: They put players up there. They don't even put up 967 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 2: a graphic. They don't even say the name. He's like, no, 968 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 2: we put up the wrong graphics. So I don't know 969 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:21,359 Speaker 2: which it's worse. 970 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: I do get frustrated during the like a lot of 971 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: this World Cup action. They'll go to a box and 972 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: I'll maybe know one of the guys, but like, I 973 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: don't know a lot of them. 974 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 2: Definitely not. 975 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: And they don't put up they don't. 976 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 2: So zach Lavine was a crickets when he was like, 977 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 2: there's a guy wearing glasses. 978 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: That was important. 979 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: I don't know which is worse, not identifying anybody or 980 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 2: saying it's the wrong guy. I guess saying it's the 981 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 2: wrong guy is worse. 982 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, JD. Let's get your opinion on this. You've worked 983 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: in many. Uh, you know, production trucks and stuff like that. 984 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: You've called for these lower thirds. 985 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, but not in a live game sort of live situation. 986 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean we've gotten Do we ever have a mistake 987 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: like this at Summer League? You know, live shows, guests 988 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: sometimes we're changing at the last second. 989 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 3: Oh, we've had spelling mistakes for sure. Guys names you 990 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,240 Speaker 3: know who we've never heard of, and there are guests 991 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 3: on the show. But yeah, this is unfortunate. I wouldn't 992 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 3: want to be in the truck when this happens.

We had Bam punching euro We 1023 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: had a crazy free throw form from William Kyle to third. 1024 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,399 Speaker 1: We had John Moran accidentally signing his old number on 1025 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: his new Blazer's jersey. And we have uh, you know, 1026 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: mistaken identity here s not Joe and Williams, though I 1027 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,799 Speaker 1: think he looks a lot more like Anphony Simons. I'm 1028 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: sticking with that. 1029 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 2: He looks more like Amphony Simon's than he does Jos. 1030 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 2: That's for sure. 1031 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,799 Speaker 1: That mistake I could, I could accept, but not. 1032 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 2: This one seems like a flawless UFC card. Though outside 1033 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 2: of this. 1034 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: Well, everybody was joking. Ban out of Bio threw more 1035 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 1: punches than Connor McGregor did in Vegas this weekend. That 1036 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 1: was a good one going. 1037 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 2: That is good. 1038 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 1: So what what happened? He came in with a He 1039 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,280 Speaker 1: basically came in with an injury. 1040 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 2: That's what everybody thinks. But he and Dana say no 1041 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 2: because of the gambling implications from it. But sure, you 1042 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 2: know he's just a loser, Connor McGregor is. Yeah, yeah, 1043 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,359 Speaker 2: he was good for a while and then he got 1044 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 2: two big first bridges and now he loses every time 1045 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,359 Speaker 2: he goes into any ring. 1046 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,760 Speaker 1: Now the who's the like the new Irish. 1047 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,759 Speaker 2: Guy Patty Patty? 1048 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Patty cannot get more 1049 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 1: Irish than that. Sounds a fake? Yeah, I think did 1050 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: he was? He on this card? Did he win? 1051 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:05,839 Speaker 2: I think he did? 1052 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 1: He did? 1053 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. 1054 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,839 Speaker 1: All right, well, a bunch of random stuff here from 1055 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: the NBA world, and again sports adjacent stuff happened. Yeah 1056 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,879 Speaker 1: tonight MLB home run Derby, Right, it's on Netflix. It's 1057 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: on Netflix. 1058 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 2: Okay. 1059 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: They've changed things though. Instead of outs, hitters will get 1060 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 1: a limited number of swings per round. That means no 1061 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: forty homer rounds anymore, I guess, which we've had a 1062 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 1: couple of times since, like twenty nineteen, hitters get twenty 1063 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,600 Speaker 1: swings in the first round fifteen for the second and 1064 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 1: the third round fifteen. I guess there was some like 1065 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 1: there there was like some pushback on like these guys 1066 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: like getting like, you know, two hundred swings like maximum 1067 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 1: rips and not injuries but maybe exhaustion. I don't know, 1068 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: And I think people have said too they want to 1069 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 1: like they're trying to get it more into like a 1070 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: structured time too, because you know, the guy hits forty 1071 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 1: home right, things can go forever. I guess, so they're 1072 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,360 Speaker 1: trying out these swings. Maybe it'll be exciting. 1073 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like they changed the format for 1074 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 2: the home run derby more often than the NBA changes 1075 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 2: the rules for the dunk. I know, I know, are 1076 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 2: MLB fans constantly complaining that the home run derby is dead? 1077 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 2: I thought the biggest complaints recently were that we weren't 1078 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 2: seeing the home runs get to the stands, like they 1079 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: have to cut back to the swing to the ball 1080 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 2: was in flight for so long. 1081 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 1: It's a tough production element. 1082 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to follow that ball all the way 1083 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 2: out there and then come back to the But this 1084 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 2: maybe helps that because this is more probably like you 1085 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 2: can slow down. 1086 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,359 Speaker 1: It's not timed or anything. Yeah, yeah, and think about 1087 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: that part. Do you want to name? Can you name 1088 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,759 Speaker 1: any of the the guys participating in the home run 1089 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: derby tonight to Philadelphia?
