We break it all down with 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.840 my guy, Kenny Carroway of Sacramento's ESPN thirteen twenty. We 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.720 cover the Deer in Fox trade in detail, what I 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:27.680 thought about it, what's next for the Sacramento Kangs, and 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.600 we talked about the Luca trade even more as more 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.520 details starts to trickle out. 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.199 Fun, fun show.

No, yeah, 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.720 definitely not. I don't think you can get those in 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.640 the French quarters. Well you can get daker in the 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.680 French quarter, but the dray they like you go into 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.200 the city.

I got that. Yeah. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.720 Yeah, they said, oh no, the only way you can 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.360 do this is the drink and dry. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.200 That's the only way this worked. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:21.920 It's been it's been four or five years since I've 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.200 been there. That was last time when I saw the 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.200 drive th I'm not sure they's still up, but I'm 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.640 I'm assuming they are. They've been there forever. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:30.360 Yeah, I saw them. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.120 I mean I walked past them. They definitely still exist. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.280 I'm just not going I'm just not interested in going in. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.480 I went to this place called the La Petite Grocery today. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.040 For those who are subscribing, full review is on the Instagram. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.680 But I would just say it was incredible. It was 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.240 one of the better meals I've had in a long 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:53.159 long time. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.280 I ain't gotta lie to you. I gotta subscribe. I'm slipping. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:57.280 That's my bad. Got it. 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.720 If my own mama can subscribe on the fixed income, 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:01.160 you can. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.800 I'm subscribing. I just hadn't even thought about it, but yeah, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:09.040 I gotta. I gotta subscribe to my girlth TK. All right, Trista, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.360 you know this is crazy. All right? So let's where 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.600 we're the home or we're not. I shouldn't say that 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.279 we're Sacramento. You know what I mean. We're We're we 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.840 are king centric here. So let's start there. A lot 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.080 of people thought me and James Hamm were fighting yesterday. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.760 We weren't. But James ham is anti Zach Lavine, as 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.360 you guys saw by my unethical basketball team that Trista 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.840 put together. Oh, Zach wasn't on there, and I let 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.560 her know about that. I am pro Zach Levine. Sounds 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.160 like you might be anti Zach Lavine. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.320 I think what my issue with Zach is is like, 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.480 do you really trust that what we're seeing this year 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.600 is what we're gonna see moving forward from him? And 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.839 he's had an excellent year, but it's also like the 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.839 last resort for Zach. Right, we know that when last 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.760 came around, they shut him down early. There was all 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.360 these reports about his attitude with the team. He remember 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.479 he pushed the PR girl when she tried to stop 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.360 him from doing something, and so like, Zach kind of 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:19.240 just is not a He's not like a commensurate player 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.560 for winning, right, He's not the guy you think of 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.640 the lift you up, piece of certified bucket getter, and 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.280 the type of buckets he takes are are sometimes really 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.719 tough ones. His efficiency, like you said on your Kids, 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.240 since the trade went down. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.520 His efficiency has been awesome. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:39.000 I just don't know for the money and really what 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.640 the consistency looks like for Zach, whether that's the kind 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.040 of guy I will want to trade for. 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.919 Right now, I get that this team needs. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.520 A sort of pets things together on the fly, right 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.800 like this was. This was not necessarily what the plan 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.880 was going into the season. And you can't just up 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.359 and rebuild. You've got Sabonus, you got Keegan Murray, you 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.920 have pieces on here that don't want you to start 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.800 rebuilding all over again. For the amount of money that 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.960 Zach is getting paid though, for that to be the 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.280 only piece you get back, and essentially you're only getting 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.760 one good first round pick, which is the Minnesota Timberwolves 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.840 twenty thirty one pick. The twenty twenty seven San Antonio 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.320 pick is not gonna be very good at all. They're 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.320 gonna be a probably top five team in the West, 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.920 so I don't know what that's about. And then the 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.960 Charlotte twenty twenty five pick, I forgot early on that 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.560 that was top fourteen protected, so that's not even gonna 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:32.400 be a first round pick. 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:33.200 You might as well just. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.600 Call that two seconds. So it's two firsts and five seconds. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.320 And I just don't really know if that's what a 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.600 Deer and Fox hall should bring when mckel Bridges, who 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.400 I don't think is as good as Deer and Fox. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:45.600 Now. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.880 I know that wings are more valuable in the league 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.000 than point guards are, and just guards in general. But 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.040 five first round picks for Michael Bridges and you get 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.080 two first round picks in Zach Lavine and you don't 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.600 get any other players to contribute when you need depths 0:07:58.640 --> 0:07:59.120 on this team. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.320 I just didn't so a. 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:02.640 Couple of things. I want to put a stamp in 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.440 Zach Levine real quick because I want to ask you 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.360 something about that or just talk to you about something 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.120 the Mike kel Bridges thing. I think that's a little 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:16.440 bit of an outlier. Yeah, because the Knicks wanted Mike 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.960 l and Brooklyn was like, all right, we'll trade you, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.640 but you're not You're not getting regular market rate, Like 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:24.640 it's gonna we gonna hit you over the head if 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.280 you want to do this, And the Knicks said, all right, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.240 let's do it. And I think that's when you talk 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.920 about the picks and the compensation there, I think that 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.040 played a wrong. Now, that is the part of the 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:38.240 trade that I wasn't thrilled about. What the is the 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.840 assets and the draft picks they got back. I'm not 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.319 saying you have to get the Atlanta picked, that San 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.880 Antonio house or anything, but like, man, he couldn't get 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.480 a little bit. You know better than that when you 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.160 talk about the draft picks. But I'll ask you. You 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.640 talk to a lot of people, and I think he 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.280 can go. I think I think he's the truth when 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.680 you talk about deer Fox. But do you think he 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.480 was His value around the league doesn't match up with 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.080 what maybe Kings fans and people who follow the team 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:10.719 think his value should be. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.880 Well, I think it's should I go out. I'm gonna 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:17.960 go outside. 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.360 Really, where the where the it's a little bit better 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.839 volume here, Okay, I. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.880 Mean we hear you good, but now we got the shad, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.760 so it's all good kind of it's not loud. This 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.679 is free content too. By the way, you don't always 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.679 get this content, you know, you usually got to go subscribe. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.839 But now we're getting a nice little it looks a 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.280 little overcast out there, looks a little overcast. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:39.960 Sev seventy five. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.720 No, it's all good. It's all good. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.840 Then, it's all good. It's all good. It's like seventy 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.439 two humidity. Is this better? 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.679 It's great. It wasn't bad how it was before, So 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.200 that's all yeah. But yes, this is works too. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:56.760 Okay. 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:01.600 So I think it's hard to know what Deeron Fox's 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.920 value is on the open market because there was only 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:09.880 one team that that Sacramento negotiated with, and that was 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.120 what kind of pissed me off, is like, what could 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.400 you get from Houston, What could you get from Miami, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.559 What could you get from Orlando? 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.000 What could you get from any team that needs a 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:20.800 guard right now? 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.160 And Deeran Fox's he's a top twenty player probably in 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.520 the league, top twenty five player in the league. But 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.680 at his best, he's not only a bucket getter, but 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.280 a clutchbucket getter. And I think people are kind of 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.160 being a little bit shady in terms of his three 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.280 point percentage because they say, oh, he's not a good 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.600 three point shooter, but he's improved his three point game 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.720 a lot. So it's hard to say what his value 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.840 is around the league because all they were doing was 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.479 negotiating with san Antonio. 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.480 Yeah, and you know when when you got the rich 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.200 Pauls and you got the team saying, hey, like we're 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.439 only going to san Antonio. Letting that be known around 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.160 the league, I don't know how much you would get. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:05.199 That also maybe takes away from his true value, right 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.760 Like if it was a true open market, maybe you 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.320 could get you know, somebody better than Zach Lavine. But 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.199 when the market is stunted by him, you know, only 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.120 wanting to go to a certain place. And the other 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.160 thing about it was we saw this team on you know, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.520 Tuesday and on Saturday, and how they looked distracted and dishoveled. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:26.880 It's like, oh man, I'm not trying to do this 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.960 for another forty games, forty five games. You kind of 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.040 had to get him out of there, so they were 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:33.959 kind of up against it. I believe in trying to 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.600 make a deal, and I actually think they did a 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.040 good job getting a guy like zach Lavine when you 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.280 consider they were kind of putting the crunch the way 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:41.640 they were. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.880 But think about this outside of a salary matching component. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.079 The Bulls last year were willing to attach a first 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:51.160 round pick to takes. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.960 Yeah, I'm sorry. The people in the background selling you, hi, 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.520 young lady in the background, how you doing this is 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:03.760 ESBN thirteen twenty. No, this is hilarious. This is great. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.200 I love New Orleans. I love New Orleans. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.360 Sorry she was in the mix? 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.720 Was she? 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:11.880 She was in the mix? 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.319 But no, so so I thought they did pretty good 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.800 to get a zach Lavine back. But but you just but. 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.679 You got distracted by the cute little girl. 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.079 But the Chicago Bulls were willing to attach your first 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.200 round pick just to take zach Lavine. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.120 That's one first round pick for that. So what did 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:32.920 you really get? 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.599 So you got one first round pick for for de 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.280 Aaron Fox if that's how it all ended up shaking out, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.560 and five second round picks. I know the second round 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.839 picks are getting more and more valuable in the league. 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.559 If you can find like a good a good GM 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.280 to be able to call through those assets and get. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:51.320 The kind of guy that you want. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.400 And obviously that's like, that's critical if you're going to 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:55.839 try to package picks. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:56.760 Together to get somebody. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:01.320 But I don't think Zach Lavine was When we spoke 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.200 last last week, Kenny, you said, if it wasn't Devin 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:08.920 Vessel and Steph Castle, you were it was unacceptable. Now 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.000 all of a sudden, we got people sort of trying 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.080 to like rationalize that this. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:13.800 Is a good trade. 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.720 Know what happened was I saw I saw them play Tuesday, 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.559 and I saw them play Saturday, and I said, this 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.400 team is da as is like, so, so here's what 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.400 you want, Like I don't necessarily want to go into 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.040 the doldrums this year, like still try to make the playoffs, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.640 like try to compete. I think that's how the organization 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.439 is looking at it. Like you've got a responsibility to 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.280 Malik Monk, who just signed with you. You got a responsibility 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.880 to Marta Rows, and you got a responsibility to DeMont 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.680 to Sabonas who signed an extension and more importantly, you 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.920 got a responsibility to all these people that you up 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.440 the season ticket prices to like a like forty five 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.320 percent this year, to not say, hey, oh, out of nowhere, 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.360 Dearreon don't want to be here, so we're gonna go 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.240 try and get Cooper flag. You got a responsibility to 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:07.000 these people. So you saw it, well, she agrees. So 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:13.080 you saw how they played on Tuesday, right after we spoke, 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.440 and then you saw how they played on Saturday, and 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.160 this team was dead. And at that point it was like, 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.000 all right, you gotta kind of adjust a little bit. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:21.120 Now. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.320 I'm not gonna take anything. If we can't get Stefan 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.760 Castle or Devin Vasel, go talk to Chicago. Cuse, get 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.760 me a zach Lavine or go talk to a zach 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.200 Lavine type. It didn't have to necessarily be him, but 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.960 I had to get somebody back to replace a lot 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.480 of what Daran was giving you, at the very least 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.400 on the offensive end moving forward. But you're right, I 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.400 did say that before, but that was after saying this 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.040 this team is dead with Fox on the roster for 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.320 another forty games, Like, I don't want to live that life. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.320 So he switched up. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.240 Yeah, he switched up fast. 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.240 Did you see them play on Saturday night? I switched 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.000 up after the first scored. I was like, nah, this 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.320 is done. Can't do this. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.840 Yeah, And that's the thing that I'm really I posted 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.000 this last night, I think it was last night yesterday. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:16.080 I just find it to be very disrespectful how he's going. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.520 Out, you know. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:25.720 Yeah, And and the farewell letter of oh I always 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.760 wanted to end my career here. I never thought it 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.800 would end this way, you know, fans, I just want 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:32.440 to let you know. 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.600 I'm so grateful for you. 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.960 First of all, compare that to Kavon's letter, Like Kvons 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.720 was like, oh, yeah, okay. It's like the difference between 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.160 a guy who breaks up with his girlfriend and tries 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.480 to convince the girlfriend she broke up with him and 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.520 a guy and a guy who gets broken up with 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.040 and tries to convince her like that he broke up 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.600 with her and he started you know what I mean. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.000 Yeah, a lot of people got it picked up on 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:03.680 the wording. 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.240 On the wording there, it was like, well, if you 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.320 wanted to spend your whole career there, why are you 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.520 selling Why are you out there on the basketball court 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.800 not giving your all, why did you hire Clutch Sports 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:21.320 to begin with, which is notable for squeezing franchises. Why 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.120 did you make this contentious? 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:23.960 Why are you. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.560 Pretending you did not say, hey, get me up out 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.760 of here. Why it didn't have to be this way, 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:34.640 It didn't have to be so toxic so fast. And 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.040 I think when you look at how he was to 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.600 this franchise and what we all thought twelve months ago 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.000 it would be and could be, well maybe a little 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.440 more than twelve months ago the start of last season, 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.320 and what he did against the Warriors with a broken finger, 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:56.720 it just went left so fast, and he's he and 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.320 Clutch are responsible for it going left, like very in 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.920 terms of how he handled it. Now. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.400 I don't think that the Kings have. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.960 Surrounded him with maybe as much as he would want, 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.160 And Kenny, you've been very clear that like, how much 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.440 more do you want? But if they're telling him that 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.399 they're gonna do X, Y or Z and they don't, 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.840 there's a reason to be frustrated there if they can't 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.800 get deals done and he feels like they can't get 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.480 him done and he's getting the Dame treatment. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.720 Where neil O'Shea was like, oh, we're gonna get CJ. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.760 McCollum and and not like a high value Marquee player 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.439 to be alongside him as a co star. But they 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.440 went and got DeMar de Rosen and that wasn't exactly the. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.639 Most clean fit. That was somebody that was on the 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.960 market that they could go out and persuade to come there. 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:49.040 But he has a responsibility to live honorably and to 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.760 come and show up honorably, just as we hate Nico 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:52.560 Harrison for what. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.240 He did to Luca, like, I think. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.280 That the onus and the responsibility should go on on 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.600 Deer in terms of how he acted on way out too. 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:07.320 I agree. And this happened when I'm with Damien. I'm 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.800 not gonna involve I'm not gonna involve anybody. I'm not 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.879 gonna speak about nobody or nothing like that. But there 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.399 were when when. 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.800 No, I know there were other factors involved. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.919 Yeah, But what I'm gonna say is there were tweets 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:25.040 that were put out there that were, you know, trying 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:26.679 to kind of say like, oh, no, I don't know 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.760 what you're talking about. Nothing that ever happened. We didn't 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.920 ask for he didn't ask for anything. YadA, yah yah. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.800 You combine that with the goodbye letter and the wording 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.919 and there. And my thought was like, hey, stop playing 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.600 with us, man, Like, stop playing with us, Like we 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.879 don't know what we were seeing, what we were hearing, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.119 what people were telling you. Guys were telling people like 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.120 stop playing Like if you if you wanted to go, 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.920 I'm not gonna look at you crazy, because like you said, 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.000 he has reasons because of being you know, lied to 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.920 or not being able to get it. Like fine, that's 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.239 the reason, but don't mind us, and don't play with 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.480 us right now and say, oh we we wish we 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.800 would have been here forever. Nobody was telling you to leave. 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:11.520 What are you talking about. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.720 Yeah, you had the opportunity to sign for the same 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.320 amount is you're going to sign anywhere else. You didn't 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.600 make all NBA, and so that caused you to think 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.480 about your life and your future. And maybe you're going 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.080 to Texas because there's no state tax. Maybe you're going 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:29.480 there for family reasons, to be. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.680 Closer to where you grew up, closer to. 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:36.200 Where your family is on both sides of the aisle there, 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.119 and that that's fine, like you have that you have 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:44.320 that choice, that's that's up to you. But don't lie 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:49.240
