19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: I had to get the Google Maps out, found the

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: back why he had a JD's place. Look at you,

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 3: So there's a positive added that negative. I found another

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: way I can get here in the maybe a way

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,640

00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320

36
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: in the Classic Factory for I don't know ten hours,

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: just waiting for trades to happen, jumping on immediately and

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: reacting so hopefully we get some more as we goes on.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: We got lots to talk about here. Emailing your NBA

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: questions though to No Dunks at the Athletic dot Com.

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Keep them coming and follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook,

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: TikTok at No dunk Sinc. Okay, we will get to

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: winners of the NBA Weekend. We'll do that a little

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: bit later in the show. We of course have tweet

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: the night and pick a result in all that. But yeah,

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: NBA trade season is upon us. In fact, could we

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: ask the Southern lawyer to maybe pluralize it for us.

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: We got all sales, some trade, so there it is.

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Yes, let's start with Sunday's trade. On Sunday, the Pacers

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: sent Kris Lavert and a second round pick to the

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Cavaliers for Ricky Rubio's expiring contract, a lottery protected twenty

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: twenty two first round pick, a twenty twenty two second

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: round pick by way of Houston, so that's gonna be

54
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: in the low thirties. They're not bad. And then a

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: future second round pick by way of Utah attached. You're

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the biggest Calves fan, I know, so I want you

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: to break this one down. What do you think about

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: this Pacers Caves deal here?

59
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: Well, first, I thought it's great that a rumor deal

60
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: that we talked about two months ago Karroslivert possibly going

61
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: to the Calves actually happened. Right, just feels like we're

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 4: actually doing something that matters. Sometimes all this crap that

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: we spew, this one actually happened two months ago. Now

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: the package is a little bit different what they get back,

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: But Kara Slivert going to the Calves. It's going to

66
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: be a challenge for the Calves to bring him in

67
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: and to make him work with the chemistry. I think

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: it is a challenge, but I think it's a challenge

69
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: that they can take on because they have been so great.

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: That locker room has been so great, and Karas Slivert

71
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: classify him. If you're a casually you look at that

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: and you say a bit of a chucker. I get it.

73
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: I get it. But they absolutely need a bit of

74
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: a chucker. They need him, and some guys who have

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: had too much on their plate throughout the early part

76
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: of their career need to go to a different spot

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: and have that role lessened a little bit. I liken

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: it a little bit to Jordan Clarkson, let's say, early

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: in the years where he was with the Lakers, just

80
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: had to be a creator, had to be everything when

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 4: the Jazz found his way. And I think Carris sliver

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: could do the same thing beside Darius Garland because they

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: have such a structure and everybody loves each other in

84
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: that Calves locker room, and I think he'll have to

85
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: do less with Garland, maybe comes off the bench and

86
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 4: finishes games and the percentages aren't great. I get all that,

87
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: but this team needs a score. They need a ball

88
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 4: handler desperately. He's been a twenty point scorer in this league,

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: and I think the percentages go up like Jordan Clarkson,

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: because there's just less on his plate. I think that

91
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: could happen with Karroslivert. Injuries are a problem. I get that,

92
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: but I'm buying it. The shots are there too. It's

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: not like he's going there and this Cave's scene was

94
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: working out perfectly offensively. They need somebody. The shots were

95
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: there for Colt Sexton when he was there. It was

96
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: a Karslavert type of player. The shots were there for

97
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: Ricky Rubio before he got hurt. So I think this

98
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: could work as long as the Calv's locker room is

99
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: good around me. And I don't think you can question

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: this Calve's locker room how it's worked. He's got the

101
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 4: relationship with Jared Allen, he's from Ohio.

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: I like it.

103
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: What do you think, Lyn, I think the Cavs are

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: ahead of schedule and they thought this could be a

105
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 3: chance for us to Now they're not gonna win the championship,

106
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: but maybe we can get deep into the playoffs.

107
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: Here.

108
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: They've got a very good team right now, playing really well.

109
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: You add someone like that who can give you a bucket.

110
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: Test talks about his shooting there, he's forty four percent.

111
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't think.

112
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sort of super concerned that he's out there

113
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: just firing away. I think he likes to get to

114
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: his spots. Ye, Garland's been out right now. Obviously, Sexton's

115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: been out for a long time, so they need someone

116
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: who can get them a bucket.

117
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: And they're winning a bunch of games with the defense exactly.

118
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah's still top three, so this really just reinforces them,

119
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: gives them another player who can score. I think he

120
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: probably does come off the bench when they have their

121
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: full roster there. But and what they gave up, I mean,

122
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: it's kind of sad to see Rubio's contract down the door.

123
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: He was having such a fun season there. They give

124
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: up a first round pick, which is protected, and then

125
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: a couple of second Fine, give up all that stuff

126
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: right now, because this could be a season where you

127
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: get some really good playoff experience for a good team,

128
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 3: and you can have LeVert for the future. Remember in

129
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: the playoffs in the bubble for Brooklyn. He was really

130
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: good for them, So you know, he gives them another

131
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: option there in the play when they get this. So

132
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: this is a really good move. I think here from

133
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: the Caves.

134
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think this is a good trade?

135
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 5: I feel like Will Smith telling timy Lee Jones from

136
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 5: now on, that's how you trade.

137
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: Because this is good for the Calves. This is good

138
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: for the pacers.

139
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 5: I don't think the LeVert fit is one hundred percent

140
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 5: perfect because he's not a great three point shooter. I

141
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 5: do think he's a little bit of a black hole sometimes,

142
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 5: but they need a little bit of a black hole.

143
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 5: So I think getting a guy who can play with

144
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 5: the ball in his hands and who Darius Garland can

145
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 5: play alongside of save him some wear and tear. That's

146
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 5: pretty nice. And of course he's already got the bond

147
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 5: with Jared Allen. They played together there in Brooklyn. Nice

148
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 5: pick and roll partners. Hopefully the Calves just put him

149
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: into a lot of pick and rolls with Jared Allen

150
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: and say, hey, shoot it or pass it to Jared Allen.

151
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 5: You're gonna be doing fine there. So I think that's

152
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 5: a smart move. The question would be would you prefer

153
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: an Eric Gordon or a Norm Powell or a Buddy Healed.

154
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

155
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 5: I think he probably want the guy who can be

156
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 5: a bit of a black hole and just take over

157
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 5: a quarter here and there.

158
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: And you know, they gave up quite a bit for him.

159
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 5: But they got a young team already, They've got a

160
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 5: bunch of second round picks coming in, and they've got

161
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 5: the Colin Sexton trade chip that they could either hang

162
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 5: on to him and sign him for a cheaper deal

163
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: come summertime, or they could move him still this week

164
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: and maybe bring a pick in, maybe bring in another player.

165
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 5: But it seems they've got their backcourt replacement, which is

166
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: something they definitely needed.

167
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's important to note that Karris

168
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Lavert's contract it aligns with Kevin Love's deal expiring in

169
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and you know you're going to be

170
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: extending Evan Mobley here. You know, that's a no brainer.

171
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: He looking like a rookie of the year, So that's

172
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: good too. Like if it goes poorly, like you're saying,

173
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: Karris Lavert differing opinions on him, Yeah, you know, I

174
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: think it's a wide range. People are like, is he

175
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: really that good? Is the idea of him better than

176
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: the actual player? Then you see him play at times.

177
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: We saw him on Friday Night go for what forty two?

178
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you can put up buckets and so it's like,

179
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's this wide spectrum of how people think

180
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: of them. But I'm just saying, even if it goes

181
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: poorly and it just doesn't work for whatever reason, though,

182
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys, Garland has proven he can play

183
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: a little bit off the ball, and Lavert's not that

184
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: bad of a playmaker even if it goes poorly. Though,

185
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: You're not like locked in here for like four or

186
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: five years.

187
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: You know.

188
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: That's where it's different than a Norman Powell contract, where

189
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: he's a good player. Maybe he's even better, but it's

190
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: a four or five year deal there with Norman Palella

191
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: that he just signed. So I like it. I think this,

192
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: and I like what the Pacers got in return. Let's

193
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit. Now. It just sets

194
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: up task. What's next? Are they? Are they? Is this

195
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the end of the Pacers?

196
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: Here?

197
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: Are we seeing a turner or some Bonis get traded

198
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: at some point this week?

199
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a huge positive for the Classic Factory. It

200
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: feels like it feels like the first Domino. It kind

201
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: of feels like the magic last year where they traded Voos,

202
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 4: they traded Aaron Gordon, they let Fournie go. It was

203
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: the start of a mediocre team deciding all right, we

204
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: got to get worse. And it feels like this is

205
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: happening now they get Yeah, picking the twenties at picking

206
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: the thirties of this upcoming draft, is it a huge steal?

207
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: You never know what you're gonna get with those picks.

208
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: But it looks good because it says first round draft pick,

209
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: I guess, but it is protected. And you know, some

210
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: people say, or John Hollinger wrote this weekend, the draft

211
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: ain't all that good whatever whatever it is.

212
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Four top five heavy, that's what they're saying. Yeah, that's

213
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: a crapshoot.

214
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: You know.

215
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: Oh, the Pacers would love to get chet Holme Grin,

216
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't they. It's true, they're not that far from being

217
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the league.

218
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

219
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: And the thing here, yeah, that part's good for sure

220
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: get bad. So do you think they'll possibly try and

221
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: get something in exchange for let's say a turn like

222
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: if this is what they got for Kris Lavert, they

223
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: want more in theory for Turner, and I say more

224
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: and probably like better picks coming back. Do you think

225
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: they'll be able to pull this off or should? I

226
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: guess you think they will?

227
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Well they should, yes, Yes.

228
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 4: It really reminds me of the Magic team and it

229
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 4: just gets them worse in the short term. Yeah, And

230
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 4: I think Miles Turner's injury might keep him out for longer.

231
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: Let's say if he if he does stick around, you know,

232
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: it's a bit like the Damian Lillard situation, will get

233
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: into Portland, then it will get to Portland in a second,

234
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 4: same thing. Keep him out. Do not play that guy.

235
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: They ain't playing till Thursday. Don't play those big guys.

236
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: Way no way.

237
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Pacers here, because they're

238
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: really under the cap now too. Yeah, you know, I

239
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: think they're twenty five to twenty six million under the cap.

240
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna be one of the rare teams that's gonna

241
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: have significant cap room in the offseason. You know, we'll

242
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: see if they actually do anything with it. Because it's

243
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: like Detroit Orlando. We talked about them, San Antonio. Yeah,

244
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: for sure. Is this just just to start here moving

245
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: kislovert and then it is a turners of honest to

246
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: whatever team, be it the Wizards or some other. Yeah.

247
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: Turn is an interesting one because of the injury, So

248
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: it seems like teams are a little bit hesitant right now.

249
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: But if you get information that he's going to be

250
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: back and competing, then I think the Pacers absolutely do

251
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: move him. I think the direction they're moving is like,

252
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: we want to get So they're going to have two

253
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: first round picks in this year's draft, which is good,

254
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: and they maybe get a top five in there and

255
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: then maybe a ten, who knows, which would be great

256
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: for them. So that clearly to me is the direction

257
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: they're going. In that case, you may as well try

258
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: to cash in on these other assets. You've got these

259
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: solid assets to try to get even more draft assets

260
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: and compensation, because then potentially if you don't get that

261
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: number one, you might be able to trade up and

262
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: get it if that's.

263
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: What you want.

264
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: Because historically the Pacers don't often have a high draft pick.

265
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: Their highest pick was number ten Paul George in twenty ten.

266
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: Prior to that, it was nine to eighty nine George

267
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: McLeod number seven picks.

268
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: So I haven't heard that.

269
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: Nah, no, no, So that's I think the Pacers have

270
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 3: decided right now it's not working. They're not winning with

271
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: with this. Turner and Sabonus is their two main plays,

272
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: very good players. Sa Bonus has been an all star,

273
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: Turners kind of hovering and he's been the blocks leader

274
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: a couple of times. So maybe it's like, all right,

275
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: let's let's try and get it through the draft because

276
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: there's not a free agent destination either. So I think

277
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: their strongest way of rebuilding is getting as many player

278
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: as they can through the draft.

279
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, lose a bunch of games here and take a

280
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: bite to the apple in the in the draft lottery.

281
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Anything to add from the Pacers side, take out. They

282
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: want Chets so bad, they want that chet Man so bad.

283
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: And honestly, like the Piacers right now, I feel like

284
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 5: they're in a good spot as long as they keep

285
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 5: Turner and Sibonis out for the rest of the season,

286
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 5: because like lisaid, they'll be picking in the top ten guaranteed,

287
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 5: then in the twenties and then in the thirties. That's

288
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: pretty solid going into a draft, especially considering. You know,

289
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: when they when the news came out that they wanted

290
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 5: two first rounders for Kris Labert, it was kind of like, yeah, right,

291
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 5: there's no chance that's happening. Pretty close, pretty close, pretty close.

292
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 5: Like you could find a solid player with a thirty

293
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: eighth pick. I as a thirty eighth pick, Raymond Green's

294
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 5: going to the Hall of Fame as a thirty eight pick.

295
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

296
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 5: You could find good players early in the second round,

297
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: and you can find a decent player late in the.

298
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: First round as well.

299
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 5: You might find a Karros Lavers even right, sure, you

300
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: might find a ke On Johnson. Who knows, but now

301
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 5: you got two chances, which is better? And then you

302
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 5: can put them around maybe sibonus next year. Whoever you get,

303
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 5: is this number one, top five kind of pick?

304
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Who knows? Maybe they don't go full rebuild. I think

305
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: they should.

306
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 5: But if you're the Pacers and you're a team that's

307
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 5: kind of hesitant to do that, maybe this is your

308
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 5: one year retooling where you just set everybody down, say, hey,

309
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: we're not trying hard for the end of the year.

310
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Our record is terrible.

311
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 5: Right now, we're gonna keep up with that take our

312
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: chance with the draft lottery and try again next year.

313
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, So overall though, two thumbs up for both sides,

314
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: for the Pacers and the Calves. Very solid trade, I think.

315
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: I think as well, when you just look back at

316
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: what happened last season, if you were to say the

317
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: Calves out of that deal, we get Jared Allen and

318
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: karsla Yeah, you would say that's a steal for them,

319
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: really right, because they were just the facilitator. Sorry James,

320
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 3: but they were basically just like, okay, we'll help you

321
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: facilitate it. Okay, Well take Jared Allen, sign him to

322
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 3: one hundred million dollar contract, should be an all star,

323
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: probably gets in any way, and now we get cars Lavert.

324
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: Who if you get playoff Brooklyn Karroslavert, this is a

325
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: huge windfl.

326
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: When the Calves trade Jared Allen and Carroslaver till the

327
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: nets for James Harder. No, no, not the way things

328
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: have turned out at the time. Sure, yeah, I mean

329
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: right now, yeah, all right, well we had another deal.

330
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 5: Well, hold on a second, how you read that John

331
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 5: Hollinger thing? What did you think about the sly little

332
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 5: mention of lebron James? Did you realize he might be

333
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: a free agent in twenty twenty three.

334
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: That was an interesting one.

335
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: I don't mind the Johnny Holly slippings, but no, there's

336
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 4: no way he goes home round three. No way, he's

337
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 4: going wherever Briany gets drafted for a year. If you

338
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: get drafted Cleveland, Yes, yeah, he's going there, But there's

339
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: twenty nine other teams I think that Brownie would go

340
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 4: to as well.

341
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: Well, let's go back to Friday night because we did

342
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: have another trade. Specifically, need to hear Taska's thoughts on this,

343
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: because we actually jumped on Friday night. Did an emergency

344
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: YouTube reaction to this one, Clippers acquiring Norman Powell and

345
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: Robert Covington in a trade with the Blazers for Eric Bledsoe,

346
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: Justice Winslow, Keon Johnson, who was a first round draft

347
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: pick in the twenty one draft and then a twenty

348
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: twenty five second round pick courtesy of the Detroit Pistons. Again,

349
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: we sort of weighed in, maybe you guys have some

350
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: more thoughts on this, but tasks, what do you think

351
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: of the Clippers getting Powell and Comington here for not

352
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Some people were calling it a bag

353
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: of beans.

354
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 4: Well, it was fun to listen to your chat. I

355
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: jumped in after I saw the slacks, and you guys

356
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 4: jumped on you said your try. I was in my car, thankful.

357
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: I'm proud of myself. I didn't look at my slack

358
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: while I was driving. Have my phone in my pocket

359
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: for you. Yeah, I had an ass slack happening and

360
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: I didn't look at it whatsoever. And then yeah, I

361
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: joined in. I paid you guys five dollars for your

362
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 4: for your comments. But well for the Clippers, the Clippers

363
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: keep going for I love it obviously. Yeah, I thought

364
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 4: that this could be a championship team before the season.

365
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: It's getting a little bit too far along without Paul

366
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 4: George and Kawhi Line. They got to come back at

367
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 4: some point if they're gonna do anything this postseason. But

368
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: it sets them up well if they do come back,

369
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: or for next year with Norman Powell, who had some

370
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: big games in the conference finals with the Raps. If

371
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: you remember in twenty nineteen against the Bucks, he had

372
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 4: a nineteen point game, eighteen point game to really swing

373
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 4: that series back in the Raps direction, helping out Kawhi

374
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: like he could and just a side note, I guess

375
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: the Clippers will win a championship because any Raptor that

376
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 4: goes to an LA team like Danny Green.

377
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: They win the ship.

378
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 4: I love the arms race between the Clippers and the Lakers.

379
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 4: They fought for Danny Green, they fought for Morris bros

380
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: At the next trade deadline, and now Lakers fans pissed

381
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: that they couldn't get Norman Powell. What the hell for

382
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: that trade package? Anyways, I'm pretty excited for the Clippers

383
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: from the Blazers. It's like the Pacers. I think they

384
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: have a small window here with Damian Lillard out to

385
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: get real bad to try and get a great draft pick.

386
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: And I know people might not like the package that

387
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: they got back, understandable, but they got off money and

388
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: they could get bad real quick. So what do they

389
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: do in the off season. Could they sign somebody with

390
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: free agent money with this, with this newfound cap room,

391
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: could they get a good draft pick, because they could fall,

392
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: just like the Pacers, to one, two, three, four, five,

393
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: And maybe it's a quick retool to tool alongside Damian Lillard,

394
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: or maybe it's the beginning of a teardown. Like if

395
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: they don't get a good draft pick, or if there's

396
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: no nobody comes to Portland as a free agent, then

397
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: maybe you've got to tear it down. But this allows

398
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 4: for them to have a little bit of flexibility, like

399
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: johncy Phillips was saying, which is weird for a coach

400
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 4: to be asked, Hey, what do you think about the strade?

401
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: What's good for our flexibility?

402
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: Flexibility eight helping you.

403
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 4: Out nor get flexibility DNP, I guess, but what are

404
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: we seeing here from a Blazer's team. I think they

405
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: do have options now and that's good. And I think

406
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: Lillard is probably done for the rest of the season

407
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 4: because he said to reporters a couple of weeks ago,

408
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: I ain't playing for a draft pick. If we're in

409
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: March and we're not doing well, I'm just going to

410
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 4: sit out longer. But this could bode well for Lillard

411
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: in Portland if they can retool around them, you know,

412
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: if they can get a forward. They did say the

413
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 4: keyword was from Joe Cronin in the front office was ballance,

414
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: which means forward to me, no more guards, you know

415
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 4: Norman Powell's it's just a duplication there, and we need

416
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 4: a forward bad. So if they can get that, if

417
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: not tear down.

418
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: I think any new thoughts on this deal? Again, We

419
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: did twenty twenty five minutes on this on Friday night

420
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: on our YouTube feed. If you want to go check

421
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: that out. But now that you've had a couple days

422
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: to sit with it, yeah, must.

423
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 3: Have just been thinking about it all No, I was

424
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: thinking NonStop about it all again. I mean no, you

425
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: talk about how they are going to do it now

426
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: through the draft of free agency. Well, I'm just looking

427
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: at the free agent crop here and I'm wondering who

428
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: that one could be that Lillard feels takes them over

429
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 3: the edge. I'm not sure it's automatically going to pop

430
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 3: out at you right now. But if the Blazers are

431
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 3: able to do it, great, But I feel that this

432
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 3: is more an indication that they're like, I think it

433
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 3: is time to move on. I think so they get

434
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: rid of the salary. Well, I think from the Lillard

435
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 3: McCollum ere, I think it's like the DeRozan Lowry situation

436
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 3: where it's like we're just sort of treading water here.

437
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: They're not getting closer unless there is that, you know,

438
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: absolute certain guy who can come in and really turn around,

439
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: which I don't see in free agency now, things obviously

440
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: can change. I think it's I think otherwise Lillard's a

441
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: bit like Bradley Beal. It's like, you may as well

442
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: try a different situation right now. And Lilard's probably not

443
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: going to go to the front office and say it.

444
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: But if the front office are making these sorts of

445
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: moves where they're like, we just want cap space, to me,

446
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 3: I would start again. I would hit the reset button.

447
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 3: They're all about. Anthony Simons is the guy they want

448
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: to resign now next season to the big contract, great

449
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: young player. But maybe that's just the direction they sort

450
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 3: of need to move now where they start again and

451
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 3: see if they can cash in on the assets they have.

452
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: As for the Clippers, Kawai, PG and Powell, that trio

453
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: championship contender with all these other guys around them, Coffee

454
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: but two Morris, Reggie Jackson, Terrence man Canard, the nerd

455
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: dog is there. I think they would attain his bird

456
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: rights too, so he could be there for a couple

457
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: of years. Is that scream like a championship contender to you?

458
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Are they that good?

459
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 5: As long as kawis Kawhi again? When he comes back

460
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to be this season. Tylu

461
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 5: said he doesn't think it's going to be that se

462
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: this season. So next year, a whole year of health

463
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: I think is certainly possible. He was like, what, he's

464
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 5: twenty seven a game in the playoffs last year, shooting

465
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 5: sixty to fifty and ninety or something like that.

466
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: When he got hurt, he was on fire.

467
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 5: Kawhi Leonard is one of the best players in the league,

468
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 5: Paul George is one of the best second second best

469
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 5: players in the league. And now you've got Norm Poll

470
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 5: to stop up some minutes. I still think they need

471
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 5: to improve their big guy rotation. Zubach takes up space

472
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 5: out there, he gets you some boards, he goes to

473
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 5: the hoop strong on the rolls. But they could upgrade there,

474
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 5: maybe in Abaca trade happens or something like that. But

475
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: they got a really deep team. They played defense, and

476
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 5: now they got Norm Poll to play some offense as well.

477
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 5: So I think that this trade definitely helps. I think

478
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 5: Covington will probably be pretty solid here. He'll probably be

479
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: there backup five, actually behind Zubach, and he'll do fine

480
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 5: as a back up five since the rest of the

481
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: team can actually play defense. He doesn't have to be

482
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 5: the one guy out there stopping everybody. That certainly helps.

483
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 5: So yeah, this is a great trade for the Blazers,

484
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 5: especially considering they gave up basically nothing, yeah to get this.

485
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: They have one hell of a payroll that they're looking at.

486
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: But Bamber's loaded. I think he's three, yes, like three

487
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: times the net worth of the next wealthy ASSEMBI owner,

488
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: which is insane when you think about how wealthy. Yeah,

489
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: these guys are. So I guess he doesn't care and

490
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: he thinks so, yeah, why wouldn't we do this trading

491
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: very little there in Bledsoe and Winslow and then Keon

492
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Johnson who hasn't really had a chance. I mean the

493
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: Blazers are also taking a flyer on him. They're thinking like, well,

494
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: it's not a draft pick, which we probably wanted if

495
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: we were moving Powell and Comington. But the guy was

496
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: just a draft pick and barely played, and the athleticism

497
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: is there. Can he put it all together?

498
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: We'll see It's as close as possible to the trade

499
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: saying first round draft. Yeah, and he's been there half

500
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: a year. But I guess he is more of an

501
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: athlete than a basketball player.

502
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: I don't know.

503
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: I mean I had to look him up and find

504
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: out his SATs. I had to look up Chet Holmgren

505
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 4: to really understand what that guy is all about. Yeah,

506
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 4: but the Blazers would love Chet as well. I think

507
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: what happens in the draft is pretty important for the Blazers.

508
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a hashtag yet, Like there

509
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: was a fade for kid get check that just get.

510
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: Chit follow for Powllo. Yeah, Carro is also pretty solid.

511
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 5: I think the next trade is very important for the

512
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 5: Blazers because they did good to get off the Norm

513
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 5: Powell deal here. You want a contender to be paying

514
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 5: him twenty million dollars a year when he's thirty two

515
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 5: years old, not a team that's retooling here. But they

516
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: do need to get some draft picks besides a guy

517
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 5: in Keon Johnson who's a pseudo draft pick. So maybe

518
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 5: the Nurkics trade whatever that is, or a McCollum trade.

519
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 5: They got to focus on getting picks.

520
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Me right, and we talked about the Galaxy brain move

521
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: was the Blazers to try and trade McCallum till the

522
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: Pelicans so the Pelicans could pass them in the play

523
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: and race, though that already happened over the weekend, so

524
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: maybe that's will not be going down in the next

525
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: couple of days.

526
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 4: And he brought up the bomber there in the future

527
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 4: of this Clippers team, how is he going to act

528
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 4: when they open that arena in England?

529
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: He'll be grabbing a little higher on your thigh, He's going,

530
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: he's going to.

531
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: Go when they opened that arena. But I love how

532
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 4: the I love how they're go continuously going for it here. Yeah,

533
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 4: the roster, if they're healthy, it does look like a

534
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 4: championship roster, but it's got a Yeah, there's a big

535
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: question marks there for sure.

536
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the big juicy rumor from

537
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: the weekend. Oh yeah, buddy. The Athletics cham's Sharanya reported

538
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: on Friday that the Nets are open to discussing a

539
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: deal with Philadelphia about James Harden, and that the seventy

540
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: six ers are expected to pursue that Ben Simmons swamp

541
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: before the trade deadline. Here. On Thursday, for what it's worth,

542
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: Steve Nash said the Nets won't be trading Harden what

543
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: this week, That's what he said. He said he said,

544
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: he's actually said he didn't say no. He said, yes,

545
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: that's correct, that he will they will not be trading.

546
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 3: Yes, that's correct, we won't be trading, he said the

547
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 3: double negative.

548
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: Well, so yeah, this is Look, we've been talking about this,

549
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: it feels like for months. But uh, Trey, I think

550
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this way, should both teams

551
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: do this in the next couple of days and not

552
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: just for our sanity, not just for our sanity here

553
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: in the class factory, but like, does this make sense

554
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: on paper for both of these squads? Harden pairs up

555
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: with embiid boom, he's got that relationship with Maury, and

556
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: then Simmons, a defensive minded guy, goes to Brooklyn and

557
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: doesn't need shots obviously when you got Katie and Kyrie,

558
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: does it just make sense and they should do this?

559
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 3: Uh?

560
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I don't.

561
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 5: I don't know when you ask it like that, because

562
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 5: it's very strange to me because before the season the

563
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 5: question was shouldn't the Sixers just trade Ben Simmons to

564
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 5: the Nets for Kyrie Irvan It's alve out their problems,

565
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 5: right right. I don't understand why the Nets would want

566
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 5: to help the Sixers. This much so from that standpoint,

567
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 5: I kind of don't see it happening. But if you're

568
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 5: the if you're the Nets and you do think Harden

569
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: is leaving, which they say they don't.

570
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: Think he's lading, but Kyrie also throws in the curve ball.

571
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: But who knows what could happen?

572
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: If you think Harden is not going to come back,

573
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 5: then yeah, bring in Ben Simmons. He plays defense, he

574
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 5: doesn't need the ball, all the things that you would

575
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 5: imagine are perfect alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving when

576
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 5: he's playing. That makes sense from that standpoint. But I

577
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 5: don't know, Like you're throwing the Sixers all lifeline here,

578
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 5: the team that you're competing against for the championship, who's

579
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 5: better than you are right now, and you're helping him

580
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: get even better and solving one of their problems.

581
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I love this detail though, from.

582
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 5: Adrian Woljanowski and Ramona Shelbourne about the first time the

583
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 5: seventy six Ers and the Nets talked about a James

584
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 5: Harden trade. Who do you like on our roster? Here's

585
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 5: who I like on yours. They're saying to each other

586
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 5: Eventually Maury spoke up on the true intention of his call.

587
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 5: What about James James who Mars responded, the Nets do

588
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 5: have two James Johnson and Harden. James Harden, says Morey. No,

589
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 5: Mark said, flatly, oh my goodness, we are in smoke

590
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 5: screen season right now.

591
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: This four weeks ago for bad.

592
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 5: This is wild stuff. But I don't know. It's like

593
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 5: Sacramento says. Maury says, we can do a deal with

594
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 5: Sacramento anytime we want. So Sacramento says, no, we're up.

595
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 5: They asked for too much. Yeah, So then Maury says,

596
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 5: We're just gonna wait until the summer. We're gonna hang

597
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 5: on to Ben Simmons as long as we need to.

598
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 5: But actually Ben Simmons for James Harden could happen right now.

599
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 5: So then Steve Nash is like, well, we're not trading

600
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 5: him Kyrie Everving's like, well, he wants to be here,

601
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 5: but maybe he doesn't. This is this is insane stuff,

602
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: and it really just plays on our history. I think

603
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 5: that we know things that have happened in the past.

604
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 5: We've heard about a Simmons for Hardened deal for a year.

605
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 5: It feels like there's obviously the Harden and Maury connection

606
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: and the history of James Harden getting tired of playing

607
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 5: with his teammates Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, now

608
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 5: maybe the rest of the Nets. So it's kind of

609
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 5: like the perfect rumor. Yeah, that's the thing. Harden is

610
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 5: the huge question mark with here. What does you want

611
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 5: to do because I think you make this move instantly

612
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 5: if you're the Nets. If he is saying I'm not

613
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 5: going to be here, I'm going to be leaving, then

614
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 5: it's like a no brainer to me that you would

615
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: actually want to get Bensimon's here because Harden, I mean,

616
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 5: you saw his last game against the Kings.

617
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: He put up four points disinterested looking Now, is this

618
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: because he's injury like, are these actually injury related sort

619
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: of bad games here? Or is it because he's sort

620
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: of pouting and he sort of checked out and he

621
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: wants to be That's that's the question to me. I

622
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: don't know.

623
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: You likened it to his last game in Houston right on?

624
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: Well, no, I actually compared it to and this was

625
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: a shoutout to to Deuce Mason there with the Kings.

626
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: It was against the Kings. This game Harden played Jimmy

627
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: Butler's last game when he was a Minnesota Timberwolf. Obviously,

628
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: with the whole Rachel Nichols interview and all that, he

629
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: was like completely checked out of that game against the Kings.

630
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: You know, probably knew that he was likely going to

631
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: be swapped there and just didn't give a damn uh.

632
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: It just happened to be against Sacramento.

633
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, okay, Yeah, I thought it was the Houston comparison,

634
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 4: because he obviously James Houston. I do think he's pissed.

635
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 4: I do think he's angry that he's had to play

636
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 4: the entire season. He's had to play like forty minutes

637
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: he's playing on this injured hamster. I do think it's

638
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 4: a problem when it goes back to last year's playoffs,

639
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 4: which I think is a concern for any team even

640
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: trading for him. He is thirty two, He's played thirty

641
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 4: two thousand minutes. He's never ever, ever abided by the

642
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 4: load management theory. He's always played. He's always played, so

643
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: I would be worried if I do trade for him.

644
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: But I do think he's pissed with the whole Kyrie situation.

645
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: He said a few weeks ago, when Kyrie had a

646
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: good game, he said, well, that's why we need Kyrie

647
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 4: playing every game. I do think he's upset, But I mean,

648
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 4: this is this is out of Simmons camp, and I

649
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: don't think there's any teeth to it whatsoever. I don't

650
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: think that they came in Kyrie, Simmons and Durant and

651
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 4: said whatever, let's just give it like half a year.

652
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think that I think they

653
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 4: do want to try one time together in the postseason.

654
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Kyrie thing is is the big thing.

655
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant's going to come back, but is Kyrie going

656
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 4: to be there? And and you know you mentioned we

657
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 4: mentioned the comments about Steve Nash that comments from Kyrie

658
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 4: Irving after the game also quite confusing.

659
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: He was asked, are you gonna play?

660
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: Dude?

661
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: Are you gonna play eighty two games? Are you gonna

662
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 4: be able to play at home? He said, I'm keeping

663
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 4: a positive mindset that anything can happen in these next

664
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 4: few days or the next week.

665
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: Does he know something?

666
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 4: Just crossing my fingers that something can come up, either

667
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 4: before the altar break or even just after. So I'm

668
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: definitely keeping a positive attitude in that sense, I say,

669
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: does he know something, as in, are these mandates being removed?

670
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: Because just this morning, maybe he does. The Jersey governors

671
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 4: said that teachers and students don't have to wear masks anymore.

672
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: That was a mandate for a long time. Maybe Kyrie

673
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 4: knows something. Maybe Kyrie is in the know that this

674
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 4: mandate is.

675
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: Kyrie.

676
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, who the heck knows. It is a strange situation.

677
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: But Nash is sitting there and trying to answer these questions,

678
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: and he's asked, do you have a championship team? Well, yeah,

679
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: when our three best players play, yeah, we do. So

680
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 4: if they come back they've lost frickin eight in a row,

681
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: but there's still easily within the number one see.

682
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: Title favorite still accordingly, Well, yeah, because like tass, when

683
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: they play the three guys, I think they're like thirteen

684
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: and three or something like that in the record. Overall,

685
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a Harris thing. There's a lot

686
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: of question.

687
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 4: There's there was more and more questions than there were

688
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the season. Joe Harris may not

689
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 4: come back. There's there's that issue.

690
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: It's just a strange one. I don't think they'd blow

691
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: it up now.

692
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: Though, Lee, Yeah, you're doing this trade. If you're the

693
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets, you're saying, here, we'll trade you Harden for

694
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, Curry and Picks.

695
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: Well, James uten turned down a massive extension with them already,

696
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: which is a sort of a signal of like, he's

697
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: not one hundred percent convinced that he's coming back there

698
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 3: to Brooklyn. The way that he has been playing on

699
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: the court right now, I mean he's he's he has

700
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: checked out a little bit and maybe he's injured. If

701
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: you look at the numbers he is down. He's shooting

702
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: the ball pretty badly by his standards this year of

703
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: forty one percent. I think just watching him, he doesn't

704
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: quite have that same explosiveness of scene and boy doesn't

705
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: get that same separation on guys. But he's still averaging

706
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: almost a triple double, which is kind of incredible. Really,

707
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: isn't it that he can still go out there almost

708
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: in only second or third year and still put up

709
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: these great numbers.

710
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: Do you think he's paariwoll with in mid Well?

711
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: I think this would be a very interesting test for

712
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 3: James Harden because for the last what ten years, and

713
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: really until he went to Brooklyn. There it's always been

714
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 3: his team. When Dwight came in, it was James Harden's team,

715
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 3: When Chris Paul and Westbrook came in, it was James

716
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: Harden team. If he goes to Philadelphia, he has to

717
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 3: sort of adjust around Joel andb that's in Beads team.

718
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: For me. No, that's what I'm saying. Since he went

719
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: to Brooklyn, that was the only time that James Harden

720
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: hasn't been the young questioned number one, and I think

721
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia he is not the number one. I think

722
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: that's in Beads team, so he would have to adjust.

723
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: But this is also a guy playing at an MVP level,

724
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: So every incentive is there for James Harden to be like, Okay,

725
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: I can get maybe to that level I'm trying to

726
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 3: get to with this team because I've got a guy

727
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: at the absolute peak of his powers. So I would

728
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: do it. I would make that deal right now Simmons,

729
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: whether or not he plays, And in that report as well,

730
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: apparently close people to Simmons have hoped that he will

731
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: play if he doesn't get traded this season.

732
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: That's I'm just saying what the article said.

733
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just.

734
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: So if he's still with Philadelphia come Thursday nights.

735
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: And Ramona, they said that, Okay, okay, but let's but

736
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 3: let's say he's not, so you're not getting anything out

737
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: of me. If you can get James Harden, who will

738
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: be a free agent at the end of this season,

739
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: for that and a cossus Seth Curry and Ben Simmons, I.

740
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: Would do it.

741
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: I would do it because it's also as saying to

742
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid, we are trying to give you a superstar round.

743
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: And as I mentioned, he's thirty two. Is correct that

744
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: he plays a ton of games. But I also think

745
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: that maybe starting to catch up with him a little

746
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: bit in these injuries and just the fact that he's

747
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: shooting is down that he's had such a heavy workload

748
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 3: for so many years. But he's still good enough right

749
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: now that it's like, if he's available and he costs

750
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: you a player that isn't playing, go for.

751
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: It, right, But then if you trade for Harden, you're,

752
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: of course, in theory Darryl Moore in the and the

753
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: organization is signing Harden in all likelihood to a big deal,

754
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: and then then there's concern at the back end of

755
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: that contract, like you just talked about, like what type

756
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: of player is he going to be?

757
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: That?

758
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Of course, then again, if he's James Harden that we've

759
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: seen over the last couple of years, that's probably good

760
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: enough to win you a title. Am paired with him

761
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: beat I think.

762
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: I think as well what we've seen in recent times

763
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: with the Raptors going for it with Kawhi, there's a

764
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: risk obviously, yeah, yeah, but if you can get a

765
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: championship out of it, then it's worth it. And you've

766
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: seen the Lakers, and we've seen the Bucks, and we've

767
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 3: seen the Clippers basically give up all their assets to

768
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: go for it. And I think if you're the Sixers one,

769
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: I think again it's more symbolic to say to Joe

770
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: andthan beiid, yeah, well we'll sign him to a big,

771
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 3: huge extension because we believe that's a sign to you

772
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: that we are trying to give you the best chance

773
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: of winning.

774
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on the Simmons heard love.

775
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I love talking about it. It's a strange

776
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 4: one because you watch James Surten out there and sometimes

777
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: he's playing on half a leg, but obviously he can

778
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 4: give you thirty and ten and have a great year

779
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: and have a good run. And I think he does

780
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 4: want to be a secondary guy.

781
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: I think do you think he would?

782
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: I mean, we haven't seen him embrace that role really,

783
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: have we.

784
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 2: I mean, Durant is the guy Duran.

785
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so take Duran out of it. I mean he's

786
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: played with west brook he had a history there with

787
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: west but Chris Paul is a Hall of Famer. Now Dwight, Okay,

788
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: that didn't work. But I mean he's.

789
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: Saying in Brooklyn to play with Kyrie and Kevin Durant.

790
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 3: I know, but I'm saying, like historically, like Kevin Durant is,

791
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: you know, one of those super elite talents. Right now,

792
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: he's going to a situation with Joel Embiid, who Joel

793
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: the Bead is not going to want to be like,

794
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: I'll be the number two here. I'll let you know, flourish.

795
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: The nice difference is Embard as a giant.

796
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: The ball more, handle the ball more without Kyrie and Durant.

797
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I look, look, I think I think he sort

798
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: of has to do it, and maybe these last couple

799
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: of years he's realized, Okay, that maybe is the best

800
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: or a better situation for me now, but it's still

801
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 3: a challenge because Daryl Moury surrounded him with Hall of

802
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 3: Fame talent in Houston and kind of each time.

803
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: It got close.

804
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got they got very they got Chris Paul

805
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: hamstering away from probably winning a championship. But I mean

806
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: more those relationship, like they got Dwight in his prime,

807
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: remember like the free agency, like the best center Vilable

808
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: and that didn't work out.

809
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 5: But well, they thought Dwight was in his prime, but

810
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 5: that was when Dwight started falling off and he definitely

811
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 5: slowed down. And actually, I think it's worked every single

812
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 5: time with Harden playing with the superstar teammates, like you're

813
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 5: saying sixty seven wins with Chris Paul with the Rockets there,

814
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 5: Westbrook was all NBA when he played alongside Harden in Houston,

815
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 5: they had to change their team around completely and become

816
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: the all smallies. So it was kind of weird. But

817
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 5: Embiid also did great. When Jimmy Butler was there with

818
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 5: the Sixers, he turned over the team and said, yeah, sure, Jimmy,

819
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 5: you handle the ball in the fourth quarter to get buckets.

820
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 5: So the question then would be become James Carden come

821
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 5: through in the fourth quarter. That is a little bit

822
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 5: more of a question to me, is he the guy

823
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 5: that you're one hundred percent relying on. I think Embiid

824
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 5: would like the help, though, because he said earlier this season,

825
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 5: I get nothing easy.

826
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: It's all effort out there for me. And it's true.

827
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 5: It's like he's bringing the ball up, he's hitting pull

828
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 5: up jumpers, He's doing stuff that looks like it should

829
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 5: be from a six to eight guy. So to offload

830
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 5: some of that responsibility.

831
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: Would be great. Yeah. The ironic part is you start

832
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: to get concerned about what Embid's doing right now. Now,

833
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: can you keep it going when we get to April

834
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: and you know may or will it be like James

835
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: Harden where you like just completely carries your team for

836
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: an eighty two game season and then starts to run

837
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: out of gas a little bit. It's a concern for sure.

838
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, And there was strange thing about the Nets. If

839
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 4: they made this deal for Ben Simmons, it kind of

840
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 4: lengthens their window because Simmons is much younger.

841
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: I agree. I love this trade for both teams. I

842
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: love it. I mean I don't, I mean again, I

843
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: think the Sixers say, we're not giving you a curry.

844
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: He's actually pretty important to them obviously a shooter. You know,

845
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Picks? If it was just

846
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: like I mean, I know, I'm not even sure if

847
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: it lead like works, you'd have to get the numbers right.

848
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: But like principal Simmons for Harden, I like it for

849
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: both teams. I think it makes almost too much sense.

850
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: And then they would be playing each other in the

851
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: enough series. It would be awesome. Oh yeah, yeah, that

852
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: would be awesome.

853
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: If it Philly Brooklyn in the first round or whenever,

854
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 3: it wouldn't really matter. But I definitely think this Simmons

855
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: defensive improvement would be huge for Brooklyn. Nine need that badly,

856
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: So you know, yeah, if Cartery and Kevin Durank can

857
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: provide the offense in fire shooting and scoring the bowl,

858
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: then yeah, go for it.

859
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 4: Why hasn't anyone made a hamstring video? And I'm talking

860
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 4: specifically about Chris Paul's hamstring hamstrung Rockets. Rockets don't get

861
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 4: to the finals. James Harden's hamstring last year prevents them

862
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 4: from getting to the conference finals, maybe the championship.

863
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: There's a I don't know hamstring sad violins. I don't

864
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: know something there.

865
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: Right, we can work on it, all right, Let's take

866
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back, though, we'll get

867
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: to winners of the NBA Weekend. We got some rising stars,

868
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: rosters that take a look at, and a whole lot

869
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: more don't go anywhere all right here in the Classic Factory,

870
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: we wanted to give another shout out to the stream

871
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: teamers out there joining us live this morning on YouTube

872
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: doing big numbers here on a Monday. People love the trades.

873
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: It's trade dead line season. We usually on Monday show

874
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: do NBA weekend winners and losers, but because we had

875
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: so many trades to talk about, we're just doing winners.

876
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: I'll get us started. They only played one game this weekend,

877
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: but I don't care. The Memphislies are a winner of

878
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: the weekend. They are the new national buzz lately. They

879
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: must watch television. You would agree with that.

880
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: Five o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. Who scheduled that?

881
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but I was tuning in. Yeah,

882
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: because you got to see them play right now? Yeah,

883
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: you have to. John Morant's getting MVP chance in Orlando.

884
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: That's what's happening. You got Apparently, according to TV analyst

885
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: Brevin Knight, there are more Grizzlies jerseys there than there

886
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: were Magic jerseys. Now, I get it, there is Orlando

887
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: team that's struggling and all that, but he's just like,

888
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: it's the hottest team in the league. You gotta be watching.

889
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: What was your favorite play? It's my question. Was it

890
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: the three on one fast break where John moranc goes

891
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: behind his back and then Zia Williams is throwing the

892
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: oop to mountain or was it like minutes later, John

893
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: Morant dunking on a ducking sort of Robin Lopez.

894
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: Seeing job with a legit no look behind the back

895
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 3: was incredible, you know, like cause you know we're saying

896
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 3: some some loupno look passes from Spencer Dinwitty. According Kyle Kuzma, yeah,

897
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: this was. And the slow mo like he's really looking away,

898
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 3: flicks it behind his back. That can there with Williams

899
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 3: and then up to Melton for the o beautiful stuff.

900
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 3: It was a lot the Showtime likes.

901
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, the vibes I'm getting in this team. They're

902
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: like the Kings with like Jason Williams and Webb. They're like,

903
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,479
Speaker 1: it's just a highlight factory with this squad, and again

904
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: they're blowing out the magic, but you still got to

905
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: keep watching tests because you don't know what's about to

906
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: happen here. Also, you brought up the no look Yeah,

907
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: he just made me think. Remember Bill Murray had the

908
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: no look shot in that commercial long time. Did you

909
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: see his no look putt in the Weekend? You didn't see.

910
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: I did say Bill Murray was going, I didn't click it.

911
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: They walked up to like a I don't know, like

912
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: looked to be like an eight foot nine foot putt

913
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: and then backwards hit it like looking the other way

914
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: and perfectly sunk it.

915
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 5: Anyway, incredible, beautiful putter of the golf.

916
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: Again. I know you're like, who cares Grizzlies beat the magic,

917
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: but this is awesome. John Moran thirty three points fourteen

918
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: to twenty one seven assists. And he said he had

919
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: a bad game because he had turnovers.

920
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that donk on Robin Lopez. Just got Robin Lopez

921
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 4: running the other way as fast as as possible, like

922
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 4: he didn't want to be part of any replay or anything.

923
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 4: He got the heck out of there. You don't see

924
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 4: Robin Lopez chugged too quickly, but he got the heck

925
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 4: out of there.

926
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 2: Yes, feel good times.

927
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 4: Maybe they didn't want to compete with the NHL All

928
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 4: Star Game, which was Saturday night. I think I think

929
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: the NHL All Star Game used to be on Sundays

930
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: and the Skills Challenge was on Saturday.

931
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: On Sunday early.

932
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: Get away from Sunday. People don't want to watch TV.

933
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 2: I don't know.

934
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 4: People scared of the Pro Bowl. I don't know, but yeah,

935
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 4: I think the Grizzlies are the story in Orlando.

936
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: Were there more Morine jerseys?

937
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what they were saying. Maybe that's there's a ticket.

938
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 2: The kids love it.

939
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 4: It's a little Steph Curry, like you know from years past.

940
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 4: I don't know how high he can go in terms

941
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 4: of jersey sales, but he's climbing.

942
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The Grizzlies are thirty seven and eighteen. By

943
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: the way, they are five games before the All Star

944
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: break Tuesday, they host the Clippers, then they have a

945
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: little three game road trip Detroit, Charlotte and the Pelicans,

946
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: and then their final game is at home versus the Blazers.

947
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: Those five winnable games. Let's say may even even take four.

948
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: They're looking they're gonna have like forty to forty two

949
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: wins at the All Star break, which again, at this

950
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: point we shouldn't be surprised, but I can't. They still

951
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: have Dylan Brooks coming back to this team too, and

952
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: we talked about, like Willy, will they make a move, Well,

953
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: they move off of Kyle Anderson because they don't think

954
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: they'll be able to pay him and all that. But man,

955
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: the vibes so high, nice high vibes.

956
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

957
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: Man, you were watching this on Saturday afternoon at five o'clock. God, man,

958
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: I have to watch John.

959
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 5: I'm like you were watching Appointment with these magic It's

960
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 5: appointment viewing.

961
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: It's good stuff, man, it's Appointment's good stuff. I caught

962
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: the highlights.

963
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 5: I was happy with that, and I would agree with

964
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 5: laid the behind the back to the alley oop with

965
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 5: Zayre Williams jumping at the exact same time. That's when

966
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 5: you know you've made a mistake as the as a defender.

967
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 5: When the alleyupe thrower and the alley oop dunker are

968
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 5: dunk jumping at the same time, you're ending up in

969
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 5: a highlight. I think John Moran said afterwards that he

970
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 5: called it a game breaker from NBA streets.

971
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: This guy's the best.

972
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy's literally the best. Right now, I would

973
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: drive twelve hours to see it. Right on a Saturday

974
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: at five o'clock. Task, let's keep it going, though he

975
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: got for a winner of the weekend.

976
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 4: Well, I'm going with a smaller name in Reggie Bullock

977
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 4: of the Dallas Mavericks because he was the MAVs big

978
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 4: offseason acquisition. He was their big signing and he kind

979
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 4: of bounced around the league for a while before he

980
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 4: got to New York. He was in the G League

981
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 4: and such. But last year he had a big year

982
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 4: with the Knicks that got him paid his first big contract.

983
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 4: Shot forty percent with the Knicks. The MAVs thought three

984
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 4: and D guy perfect Beside Luka Doncic has not worked

985
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 4: out until the last six games. Really, Bullock has been

986
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 4: on fire before that. I mean even his percentages now

987
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 4: because he was so bad he had the percentages are

988
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 4: still not good. But these last six games he just

989
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: can't miss. He's firing a high volume, which is so important.

990
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 4: Around Luca and then Friday in Atlanta, he started twice.

991
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 4: He doesn't start a lot of games. He usually comes

992
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 4: off the bench. But Kleebad was hurt two consecutive starts

993
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: for the first time in a couple months, and he

994
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,479
Speaker 4: hit ten threes this weekend host game interview in both

995
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 4: those games, which is big, and they yeah again he

996
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 4: took the place of Kliba who was injured. So this

997
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 4: is a predicament for Jason Kidd because Bullock is making

998
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 4: the right reads out there and hitting shots. The starting

999
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 4: lineup now no Porzingis as well. It's Luca Brunson, Bullock,

1000
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 4: Dorian Finney Smith and Dwight Pwell. Now Porzingis comes in

1001
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 4: for Dwight Powell, but I don't know. Bullock is playing

1002
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 4: so well, hardaways off the bench. It's a predicament. It's

1003
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 4: obviously a very very good one. And he's got great

1004
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 4: hair and it's fun to watch him out there because

1005
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 4: he's the perfect blue guy, the perfect connector, and he's

1006
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 4: hitting shots. So it's it's good to see the MAVs

1007
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 4: playing well.

1008
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 2: You know.

1009
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: It's it's like you want guys around Luca making baskets

1010
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: to make threes.

1011
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: That's literally it.

1012
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 5: You're playing outside of Luka Doncicic, and they're gonna need

1013
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 5: him to hit threes because, like you're saying, he's had

1014
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 5: some ups and downs, he's been it feels like he's

1015
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 5: a forty three point shooter. One season followed that with

1016
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 5: thirty five, forty thirty five, forty thirty five. But now

1017
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 5: with Tim Hardaway being out, they're gonna need Tim Reggie

1018
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 5: Bullock to be able to stretch the court there, give

1019
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 5: some room for Luca, for Jalen Brunson.

1020
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: He's got to be their best shooter. So it's nice

1021
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: to see him actually doing it.

1022
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 3: And defensively he was actually okay on trade two last night.

1023
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 3: Trade didn't hit a three and the Hawks, this was

1024
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 3: a winnable game. Everyone was in foul trouble there for

1025
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks and they still couldn't sort of take

1026
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 3: the lead. So two good wins because the Mavericks came

1027
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: back against the six on Friday night and then solidified

1028
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: the good weekend with a win against the hot ish

1029
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 3: team in the Hawks there last night.

1030
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: And that's the thing you said, like the timing of

1031
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: all this, you know, Hardaway goes out, he's.

1032
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: Got what the foot Fronah.

1033
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So bullet gets a chance more minutes, and he's

1034
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: not only filling the role of like what they wanted

1035
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: from Hardway Junior hit a bunch of threes, but he's

1036
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: a better defender than Tim Hardaway Junior. Like you said,

1037
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: he's just definitely just gives you a little bit more

1038
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: on that end. And so the maps, Yeah, like quality

1039
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: wins here. So Reggie Bullock getting a little love on

1040
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: a Monday podcast only podcast. You're gonna hear that.

1041
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe a Mavericks podcast.

1042
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 4: They need help, I mean, who is obviously Jenen Bronson

1043
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 4: has been their second best player along with Porzingis went healthy.

1044
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 4: But who's the next guy during Finny Smith.

1045
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: Untouchable, good Gord Almighty.

1046
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of good players when they're playing well,

1047
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 4: but they need help. I mean, I think Hardaway and

1048
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 4: him will there'll be enough minutes. It'll be a small

1049
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 4: team in the playoffs. You know, they just don't have size.

1050
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 4: But I love them.

1051
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: I love them. I just love him. When I don't

1052
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: know what to say, I say, I love.

1053
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: A winner them. I love I love doing podcasts with

1054
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: you guys.

1055
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: I love it.

1056
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 5: Big weekend for Jared Allen, Bigger weekend for big beef.

1057
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 5: Jd Roll that beautiful beef footage.

1058
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 6: We freed the beef. Nurkic twenty two rebounds. Jokic twenty

1059
00:44:54,719 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 6: one rebounds. Drummond twenty three rebounds, Garrett Allen twenty two rebounds.

1060
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 6: Let the drop. That's a lot of roast beef, which

1061
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 6: is rebounds.

1062
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 5: Oh baby, twenty two rebounds for Jared Allen on Friday Night,

1063
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 5: the perfect eleven and eleven split eleven offensive, eleven defensive.

1064
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 5: You saw plumbly missed the dunk there and Jared Allen

1065
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 5: grabbed the rebound. That happened like four times that the

1066
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 5: Hornets missed like a layup or a dunk, and Jared

1067
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 5: Allen got the rebound. He got number twenty in this game,

1068
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 5: his big beef with three minutes left in the third quarter.

1069
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 5: He also added twenty nine points for that Barbara Walters beef.

1070
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 5: That's not all from Jared Allen, not even in this game.

1071
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 5: He had a clutch rebound put back thirty seconds left

1072
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 5: to bring the Caves within one. There's a great clip

1073
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 5: going around of Kevin Love getting his face and time

1074
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 5: him you're.

1075
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: A fucking.

1076
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, very cool. So a weird game honestly, the

1077
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 5: end of Calves Hornets, Calves, I don't know who came

1078
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 5: out on top here, like well the cat refereeing wise,

1079
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 5: Kevin Bob got gifted a free throw on the offensive rebound.

1080
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 5: Guy won a game shooting free throws after an offensive rebound.

1081
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: That was tough.

1082
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 3: That was a makeup yist of makeup. Yeah, it had

1083
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 3: to be, because they.

1084
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely explained for those listeners we're watching.

1085
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: So the ball went out of court and it was

1086
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 3: given to the Hornets. But as the play continued, Terry

1087
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 3: Rosier had the ball and just flung up a shot

1088
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: after well and truly after the whistle had gone, and

1089
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 3: Ed Davis on the bench just kind of like put

1090
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: his hand down and may contact or you know, he

1091
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 3: interfered with the play. Now, one of the referees for

1092
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: some reason didn't realize the play had stopped and issued

1093
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 3: a technical foul for the red Davis being on the play,

1094
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 3: and then rewarded Terry Rosia said, Bo.

1095
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: You get a three pointer out of that as well,

1096
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: and JB.

1097
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 3: Because no one understood what the hell was going on,

1098
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 3: and the referees didn't go back and say, okay, hang on,

1099
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 3: there's clearly a mistake here. Instead they went full ball.

1100
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: They just barreled ahead, gave the three three pointer to

1101
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 3: the Hornets, and the technical free throw. A ten point

1102
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: game was back to six points in that instance. But

1103
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 3: fortunately the Cavs did manage to get the victory because

1104
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 3: Kevin Love, yeah, he the ball sort of bobbled into

1105
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: his hands and he pushed his hands towards the hoop

1106
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: and they weren't in the penalty Charlotte, but instead the

1107
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 3: referees decided, okay, we're going to give you shooting.

1108
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: Thro eventually apologized after.

1109
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did, and they acknowledged it.

1110
00:47:59,200 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: That's good.

1111
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 3: That is good that they least ignized, like we got

1112
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 3: that wrong. And the right result was that the Cavs

1113
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 3: win this game, I think because they had to give

1114
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 3: up four points they got two of them back, and

1115
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 3: then Myles Bridges tried to also gain the rest for

1116
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: a foul on the very last possession. But even Eric

1117
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 3: Colin and Dell Curry afterwards are like a because they

1118
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: were originally and then they're like, ah, okay, okay, Myles

1119
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: Bridges basically grab I can't remember who it was it

1120
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 3: was there defending, but yeah, the right result, but rough,

1121
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 3: rough night there for the I'm just not sure why

1122
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 3: they wouldn't go back and review.

1123
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: The whistle was blow so weird you hear that.

1124
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, the players kind of had stopped and so everyone

1125
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 3: was sort of like very undrew. But they review so

1126
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 3: many things and they take so long. I'm not sure

1127
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 3: why they wouldn't just go back and say, we've got

1128
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 3: to get this one right. We're giving a team or.

1129
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: The official that blew the whistle should say I blew

1130
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: my whistle to the other raff and say sorry, I

1131
00:48:54,440 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: called it out. I don't know what myself, myself shout out.

1132
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they made up for it. They said up.

1133
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 4: They apologize, just like trade made up for some lost beef.

1134
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 4: So we got all those beefs back there?

1135
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: Is that what we were seeing there? Those were those

1136
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: were beef stuck in the supply chain?

1137
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Andre Drummond it's wearing a nose ring in that

1138
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: in his headshot.

1139
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, he never noticed that.

1140
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: It's very you don't see that very often. But yeah,

1141
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 2: what a weekend for Jared Allen.

1142
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 4: And then the Calves come back from twenty against the

1143
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 4: Pacers on Sunday, It's like.

1144
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 5: It's fifteen points seventeen rebounds for Jared Allen in the

1145
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 5: win against the Pacers. Timing is everything. The guy's going

1146
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 5: to be an All Star. He's going to one percent.

1147
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 5: Get Kevin Durant injury replacement.

1148
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

1149
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 4: And the Grizzlies. Yeah, the Grizzlies are the must watch team.

1150
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 4: But then you get some some Calves games where they

1151
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 4: come back. You know, the arena's rocking there and Kevin

1152
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 4: Love went behind the back Jeddi Osman in the corner there.

1153
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 4: That was, uh, you know, they're they're the poor man's

1154
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 4: Grizzlies in terms of highlights and all that. But the

1155
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 4: arena's rocking, and now they desperate. They need a score.

1156
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 4: They always get down and they and they the fourth

1157
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 4: quarters are ugly a lot of the times. They need

1158
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 4: a caroslivered. So that's that's great. Yeah, Jared Allen, I

1159
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 4: think I think there would be a mass protest if

1160
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 4: he is in name.

1161
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 2: It feels like he's going to be named.

1162
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if Durant's not playing, I guess that's

1163
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: not official yet, but yes, he's probably.

1164
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: Not probably, yes, right right, that needs to happen.

1165
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: That's not official, So we should start betting on Jared

1166
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: Allen to win All Star Game MVP. Ah, yeah right,

1167
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: because he's going to go what do we say, he's

1168
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna go nine for nine for eleven. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1169
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: He's the hometown guy that Okay, we're betting on that

1170
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: Jared Allen All Star Game for a while. Okay, well

1171
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 1: you had a winner of the weekend.

1172
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 3: Yes, well, Fred van Vliet is going to be in

1173
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 3: the three point shootout hey season, which is great for him.

1174
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 3: Interested to see how he goes. A nice shooter of

1175
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 3: the ball, but he's a bit of a launcher, like

1176
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure he's got the quickest release in the world,

1177
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 3: so we'll see how that goes.

1178
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: But you called him a nice shooter. Wow, that that

1179
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: feels a bit like a disc So no, no, no,

1180
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: he's not. It's just like second in the league.

1181
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 3: Korean think he's up there. Yeah, I'm just saying like

1182
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 3: he's not like a quick sort of quick trigger guy,

1183
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 3: like he's you know, he gets the whole body into it.

1184
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: That's way you like your six five six six, sort

1185
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: of lanky, beautiful different.

1186
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 3: Well, but don't bet against Fred, no, never, never, that'd

1187
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 3: be silly. So we don't have any other participants officially

1188
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 3: named yet, So I've come up with my hope the

1189
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 3: field that I hope is going to make it all.

1190
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 1: You're going to give seven other names.

1191
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 3: You don't know five because there was six and last year, Yeah,

1192
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 3: there were six in the last year. So I'm going

1193
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: with six again. Now Steph defending Champ pretty obvious he's in,

1194
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: uh next one. I want to go with Kevin Love

1195
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 3: a couple of reasons. It's in Cleveland for one, right,

1196
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 3: it's his rejuvenation season. He's shooting forty percent on six

1197
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 3: and a half threes per game, second best of his career,

1198
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 3: and he's on pace to maybe even make set a

1199
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 3: new record for total makes in a season, which would

1200
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 3: be pretty wild for a guy like him. And he

1201
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 3: won it in twenty twelve. I was just going to

1202
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 3: say I forgot about that, but he won it, so

1203
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 3: ten years that'd be great if a guy could win

1204
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 3: the award ten years later. So I'd love to see that.

1205
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 3: I think it'd be a great spot for him again

1206
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 3: being in Cleveland.

1207
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: He got back to us ten years ago. Look if

1208
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 1: he's going to be doing that, you know, really.

1209
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 5: Close hair, and then I think he had like a colored.

1210
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: I was going to say. The worry with that is

1211
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: you're going to ask him. They'd probably ask him to

1212
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: go in it. Like you said, it's in Cleveland, that's nice,

1213
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: but like he tends to like want to go, like

1214
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: do his little vacation. You know himman skill for a week.

1215
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but have you seen him lately? He is just

1216
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 3: on fire. He is like I think this is just

1217
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 3: a great opportunity for him. He'll do it all for love.

1218
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: Nice.

1219
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 7: That's really the next guy that's three number four.

1220
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 3: I want Anthony Edwards in it. He's only thirty six percent,

1221
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 3: but seventh in total makes and entertainment value alone. Can

1222
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 3: you imagine if Anthony Edwards wins this the flex on

1223
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 3: social media post game, he'd be doing all sorts of

1224
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 3: fun stuff, so I think. And he's not in the

1225
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 3: dunk contest, he's the he's in the Rising Stars game there.

1226
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 3: I think he'd want to be a part of it.

1227
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 3: And I think he'd want to show people, hey, I'm

1228
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 3: not just a dunker. I can shoot threes. I can

1229
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: do this, So I'd want him in it. Kelly Ubray

1230
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,720
Speaker 3: never been won by a lefty this competition. Mike Conley.

1231
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,479
Speaker 3: Mike Conley last year came within the final two shot.

1232
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 3: Steph Curry hit to hit the final two to win it,

1233
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 3: and he did so. Mike Conley would have been the

1234
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 3: first left he ever, he didn't. Uber is a thirty

1235
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 3: six percent shooter, fair enough, But more so, I want

1236
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 3: to see Kelly Ubra blowing kisses after every mate.

1237
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: Can you imagine it every time? I don't know who

1238
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: would be blowing him.

1239
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 3: To, but I'd like to see that. So that's five.

1240
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 3: Now for the sixth spot, I want m Joel and

1241
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 3: b Gary, Trent Junior, Patty Mills, and Tyler Hero to

1242
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 3: have a shootout.

1243
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: You know, when you play one's a second shot for

1244
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 1: the shootout.

1245
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 3: Exactly because you know, when you play pickup basketball to

1246
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 3: decide teams, you shoot a free throw and if you

1247
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 3: make it, you're on one side, and if you miss,

1248
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 3: like you.

1249
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:01,479
Speaker 1: To go again.

1250
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 3: Either you either get to go again or you're on

1251
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 3: the on the loser's side. Yeah, so I think this

1252
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 3: is it. It's like make or miss, make or miss.

1253
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 3: If you miss and someone else makes it, you're out

1254
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 3: of there. And whoever wins that shooter, however long it goes,

1255
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 3: is the last person.

1256
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: Why don't we do that with the entire league, get

1257
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: everybody there one shot, we decide.

1258
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 3: Who's just a classic game of sort of bump like that. Yeah, so,

1259
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 3: but I think all those three guys, particularly the smaller

1260
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 3: guys there, GTJ, Patty and Tyler, are obviously a valid

1261
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 3: I think I I'd like to see Joel Embiid in

1262
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 3: it as well. I just like to see you want.

1263
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: A lot of bad shooters in it.

1264
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 3: You're doing a weird I want to see the entertainment value,

1265
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 3: you know, because again, embid, imagine he wins it. Imagine

1266
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 3: just imagine how much he'd be playing up to the crowd.

1267
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 3: I think it'd be fun, bring a little bit more

1268
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 3: excitement to it.

1269
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: Where Kim Johnson deserves a spot in this, doesn't he

1270
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: because he's like second in the league. Really, I mean

1271
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: you could almost see for put Tucker's I think leads

1272
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: the three point percentage, but obviously not jacking up a

1273
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: ton of them one Kim Johns of those.

1274
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 3: I wonder if p J. Tucker would hit any shots

1275
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 3: from other than the corners, that he'd line his money

1276
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 3: balls up in won and then he hit all the

1277
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 3: others on the other rack, So we might get twelve

1278
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 3: fourteen nineteen points he.

1279
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: Could still I guess, so you're right, great corner shooter. Okay,

1280
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: so your final six fascinating.

1281
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 3: Yes, Fred, Steph, Kay Love, Aunt Edwards, Kelly u Bray

1282
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 3: and then the winner of the shootout.

1283
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: For the shooting in bead, Carrie Trent Junior, Tayler Hero

1284
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: and Patty Mill. Penny Mill should be in this, probably

1285
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: too good two point shooter.

1286
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: Okay, it's fun, you said, Steph.

1287
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 4: You guys know he won last year. I'd totally forgot

1288
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 4: I get anything anything that happened last year. But I

1289
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,720
Speaker 4: do remember, Yeah, the Curry Conley ending there.

1290
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 2: It was close. Oh yeah, that was fun.

1291
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: Colin could go back in this. You get your first

1292
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 1: ever left left shooting.

1293
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, all right, that was a good time. Yeah.

1294
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 2: Kevin Love, Uh, he'd do it all for love for sure.

1295
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 2: That was good.

1296
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd get it a little get a little chunky again,

1297
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 4: put on the chin strap like he was with the Wall.

1298
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 2: I forgot he won it.

1299
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all. One thing that didn't happen last All

1300
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: Star Week, and I know that for a fact, was

1301
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: the Rising Stars Game. But it's going on this year.

1302
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: It's a little different format. We got four teams. Now,

1303
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: unfortunately for us, we thought we were gonna turn this

1304
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: into some content here in the Classic Factory. We were

1305
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna we were gonna draft the rising Star teams. You

1306
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: were gonna be I forget who we gave you. Were

1307
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: you Rick Barry, I can't remember. Okay, you're a Rick Barry.

1308
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,479
Speaker 3: Yeah I was again.

1309
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they already did it and they just like,

1310
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,760
Speaker 1: here here are the teams. So we got the Hornets,

1311
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: Lamello Ball, the Wolves Anthony Edwards, the Pistons Kate Cunningham,

1312
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: and the Cavs Evan Mobley. They're sort of headlining I

1313
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: guess the NBA's twenty twenty two Rising Stars rosters. These

1314
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: were released on Friday. We're showing them to you here

1315
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Team Barry, Team Isaiah, Team Peyton, Team Worthy. Again.

1316
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: This is got these four teams of seven players, and

1317
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a little tournament. We're gonna play the

1318
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: fifty in the first two games and then and there's

1319
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: a whole other thing going on before the last game.

1320
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second, and then the

1321
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: two teams that won, we'll play the twenty five in

1322
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: the final. Edwards, by the way, was drafted first overall,

1323
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: Mobiley went second, LaMelo third, and then Cole Anthony was

1324
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: the fourth pick, James Worthy maybe surprising some people there,

1325
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, in just any reaction to this league putting

1326
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: coin on that, Yeah, I mean that's.

1327
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 3: Not really any one of these teams could win really well,

1328
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 3: bounced team it's gonna come into Team.

1329
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: Payton all the way.

1330
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 5: Okay, Team Payton all the way, LaMelo, Scottie Barnes and

1331
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 5: Io and they got scooted.

1332
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: And they got scooted. Yeah, come on, Yeah, got a

1333
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: little defense. Davion Mitchell there and Duarte a great shooter.

1334
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: You know how high I'm on him? Yeah, I like GP,

1335
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, any team could win it except for

1336
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: Team Worthy.

1337
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah they yeah, we have no shooters.

1338
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. You're right. It's gonna be tough for

1339
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: Team Worthy to pull this out. But okay, so that's happening.

1340
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: Uh Then, like I said, that event happening before the finals,

1341
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: that Clutch Challenge. We got our teams for that. And

1342
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: here they are. Team one, Tyrese Haliburton, Desmond Baine, Team

1343
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: to Scottie Barnes, Chris Duarte. Team three Evan Motley, Josh

1344
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: Giddy and then Team four thought this was a little strange.

1345
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: It's two Gee League players from the night team. But

1346
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not two of the guys that are

1347
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: on the Rising Stars, you know, actual games or tournament

1348
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it. So we got

1349
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: two newbies there in fanbo and Foster Junior. Anyway, we

1350
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: found out the spots. This is what I really wanted

1351
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: to show you guys, because we were debating this because

1352
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: they said they were gonna be legendary shots. Well here

1353
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: they are, Magic Johnson baby hook, you know, right in

1354
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the paint there, Leley, that'll be one

1355
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: of them. Ray Allen right, corner three. I think we

1356
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: called that one. We also called the Damian Lillard from

1357
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: the logo three. I remember that was included, and it's there.

1358
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: We got Reggie Miller from the wing, big big shot.

1359
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: I guess that's the one where he pushes off Jordan.

1360
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 3: Is that is that right?

1361
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: No, I guess it could be the the eight points nine.

1362
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 3: That's the other side.

1363
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: That's the other side. Yeah. And then and then at

1364
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: Barkley top of the key. So again this is basically

1365
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: two ball. They have to alternate shots. Their teams, and

1366
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: you gotta just do it as fast as you can.

1367
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: Any thoughts trade on the shooting spots.

1368
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 5: Can't wait to see that baby hook. That was the

1369
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 5: one I was asking for. Gotta get that baby hook

1370
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 5: in there. Can't wait to see if Michael Foster Junior

1371
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 5: can do it.

1372
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna make them actually do the

1373
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: hook or just from that spot?

1374
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 5: You got to I think you have to replicate the

1375
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 5: shot as much as you possibly can. Like, you can't

1376
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 5: just go and run to the right corner to shoot

1377
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 5: Ray Allen's three.

1378
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: You gotta run backwards right in the right corner. Barkley

1379
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: top of the key.

1380
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 5: That's a surprising one to me, just like, hey, we're

1381
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 5: taking a twenty flitter here.

Speaker 4: got a Charlotte Raptors game Charlotte host in Toronto, and

1500
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 4: then we've got the Suns and the Bulls on NBA TV.

1501
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 4: Six and a half point line.

1502
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,760

1503
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 2: in Chicago. Of course, no Zach Levine in this one.

1504
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 4: As well as all the other Bulls injuries, so that's

1505
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 4: why there's such a big line. Both on a back

1506
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 4: to back as well. Yep, so fourth game and five.

1507
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: Nights as well for the Bulls. I was hoping for

1508
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: more than six and a half points, if I'm being honest.

1509
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,919
Speaker 2: It's m interesting, but you're still taking them.

1510
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: Of course, I was more surprised that Skeets has also

1511
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:08,400

1516
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I said, to you trade. I

1517
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: feel like the Bulls are gonna lose this game by

1518
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:23,600
