WEBVTT - Not Firing On All Cylinders: Inside The Pistons Failure

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to The Hottest, The Hottest it be a

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>podcast out here. I said what I said, it's the Check.

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 2>On this episode of The Heat Check, I am perplexed

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>and fired up about what's happening with the Detroit Pistons,

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 2>because damn, how are they so bad?

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Again?

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>We also get into Who's hot, Who's cold? And finally

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 2>we have an episode and I'm joined by my guys,

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Damian Barling and Kenny Carroway of Dilo and Casey Show

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 2>to break down the latest happenings in the NBA. The

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I s T, by the way, is lit as fuck,

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>So let's get into it, William and drop that motherfucking

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>beat that should be rhon. It's time, It's time, It's time.

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I saw stat and I was befuddled, I was intrigued,

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I was shook, and then I became quite fired up

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 2>because the Detroit Pistons. I said, maybe the Memphis Grizzlies

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>were the worst roster in basketball, but the truth is

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>it's probably the Detroit Pistons. They are so bad. If

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 2>we were to create an expansion team where you know,

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 2>an expansion team, how the process works is the way

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>that they build their roster as they, you know, pick

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>the bones off of every other team in the NBA.

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.199
<v Speaker 2>They get to choose a player and then they steal

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>them outs and you get to have your franchise guys

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>that are unstealable. Outside of the unstealable guys, the Auser, Thompson's,

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>the Cade, Cunninghams, the Jalen Durrenz, there's nobody, maybe Marcus Sasser.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>There's nobody you would want to steal. You'd say, eh,

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>if you're an expansion team, I'm good. You can just

0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>keep all the shit you got going on. This year,

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>they got wax The reason that we're talking about this

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>is that on Monday Night they got absolutely waxed by

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the two and fourteen Washington Wizards. It was not a

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>competitive pillow fight whatsoever. It was a straight beat down,

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 2>and I believe it was in Detroit. You got beat

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the fuck down by Jordan Pool and Kyle Kuzma, a

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 2>bang up. Jordan Poole gave you buckets. Woof. I am.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I am absolutely livid, fired up to the point where

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I might have the vein popping in the middle of

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>my forehead about how they got to this point. I

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 2>want to properly frame the scope for you the problem.

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty twenty two, the same four teams, the

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Houston Rockets, the Orlando Magic, the OKC Thunder, and the

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Detroit Pistons finished in the bottom four of the NBA

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 2>two years in a row, same four teams. This is

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>when you stock up on lottery picks and you build

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>up your coffers. You're obviously your cabinets are bare, you

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>have nothing, and so you tank systematically. Maybe sometimes not

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>by design, but I think for these teams by design.

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty three, the Rockets finished twenty two and

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>sixty last place, the Magic finished in thirteenth place, thirty

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>four and forty eight in the East, the OKC Thunder

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>finished in tenth place forty and forty two, and the

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Detroit Pistons finished with the worst record in basketball at

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>seventeen wins and sixty five losses. This year, because this

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 2>is where it gets stunning. Orlando the Magic, the team

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 2>that I have chastised for not having any fans and

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>not being worthy of even a breath of discussion besides

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.839
<v Speaker 2>ten seconds of the word Orlando Magic, they are now

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>one of the most fun teams in the East, one

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 2>of the most fun teams in the NBA the Sacramento

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Kings of the East. They are now second in the

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Conference. OKC is now second in the West. The

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Rockets have one of the best defenses in the league.

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>They are seventh in the West. And where are our

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Detroit Pistons at Little Caesar Caesar Arena? They're dead fucking last.

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>They are dead fucking last, Like I said, getting waxed

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 2>by Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole. Are you serious? How

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>is it possible to have all these fucking lottery picks,

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.479
<v Speaker 2>including the number one overall draft pick, and still be

0:04:55.240 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 2>dead fucking last when other teams in the EXAs exact

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>same spot as you are now rising to the top

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 2>like the cream. You are steel scum and they are

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>the cream of the crop. To me, it could probably

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 2>start with Kid Cunningham. But the truth is I had

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>this debate, and so we started kind of talking through

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the debate, and you could say it starts with Kay

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Cunningham because he's not consistent for a one A. He's

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>probably closer to a one beror a one seed, but

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you need him to be a one A because the

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>rest of your roster is fucking trash. And if you

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>need Kid Cunningham to perform for you every night, like

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>he's Janet Jackson, like he's Dave Matthews band had Harrold,

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>like he needs to be on tour three hundred and

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 2>sixty five days a year and giving you twenty twenty

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>five thirty points a night, You're just You're just sunk.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Your team is now in disarray. And we've been going

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>back and forth about Kate being incredibly inefficient. We talked

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 2>about him being dead last in offensive statistics. But the

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 2>truth is Kate Cunningham's lack of production and you being

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>upset about Kate Cunningham's lack of production has more to do.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Is a symptom really of the sickness, you know what

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Like you get a headache, that ache's not

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the problem. It's maybe you are dehydrated. You may need

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.720
<v Speaker 2>some water. And this roster is thirsty as fuck. That's

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the truth. And blaming it on Kate Cunningham. Yeah, maybe

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Kate Cunningham's not the one A. But Kate Cunningham didn't

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 2>ask you to take him number one overall when he

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 2>did absolutely nothing in college besides put up statistics and

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>give you the bus face. It was not up to

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 2>cad as to where he went in the draft. He

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 2>gets paid, he plays basketball, and it's up to you

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 2>to surround him with talent to make Cade shine. Why

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 2>are OKC, Houston and Orlando all on the rise because

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>not only do they get tremendous production out of their

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>draft picks shake Gilgess Alexander which is for the Clippers

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>that they traded for Paolo Player of the Week this

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>last week, alprin Shangoon. But they have other players to

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 2>support them. What other players on this Detroit Pistons team

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>do you have besides Jalen Duran that you can rely on?

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Why would you? It's really an issue. Just did not

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>switch gears. Troy Weaver fucking sucks the GM. You probably

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 2>don't even know his name if you're a casual fan.

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>The GM of the Detroit Pistons needs to be held

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>to account because he thinks he's smarter than everybody else

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:53.119
<v Speaker 2>because he says it like he is. For example, last year,

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I think they drafted fifth and he was like, I

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 2>don't care where we draft, I'm gonna get my guy

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>no matter what. He has some sort of crystal ball

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>like Troy Weaver. We have belief in is the guy

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>that's smarter than every other man in the room. I'm sorry, Uh,

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>do you think that you're Sam Presty Because you are not, sir.

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>You do not have the credibility or the track record

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 2>or the pedigree of the boy wonder Sam Presty. So

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 2>you don't get up on your press conference booth and

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>start talking all that shit like no matter who you draft,

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>you're going to hit a win. No, this roster is

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 2>constructed in a way that makes absolutely no sense. You

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>draft Jade and Ivy when you could have gotten Jayalen Williams.

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Jade and Ivy is a point guard who's ball dominant

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>and can't shoot, just like Kate Cunningham. Why would you

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 2>pair them together? Even a five year old would know

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't make no damn sense. Jalen Williams would have

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>helped it your team out tremendously great glue guy, can shoot,

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, tough, can play defense, can handle the

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>ball like he's a wing. You have no wings. You

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 2>look at the center position, speaking of redundancy and the

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>holes in the roster. I like Jalen Duran, but you

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>already had Isaiah Stewart. And maybe you didn't know what

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Duran was gonna be, but you probably seem like

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.959
<v Speaker 2>you knew what Jalen Duran was gonna be. Why because

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>you traded up in the first round to go and

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>get them who went right after Jalen Fucking Jalen Williams.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.599
<v Speaker 2>You could have gotten, You could have gotten Jade and

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Ivy and Jalen Williams. But you didn't. Why because you

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 2>got bamboozled and hoodwinked by who the boy Wonder Sam Presty.

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 2>This team has five point guards, they have five centers.

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>They've got Marvin Bagley, James Wiseman, Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duran.

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 2>They have five guards, Killian Hayes, Cad Cunningham, Marcus Sasser,

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Alec Burks. Why is Alec Burks on this team? Why

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 2>is Monte Morris on this team? Also, you've got Joe Harris, Burks,

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Morris and Harris combined making forty million dollars a year.

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:06.599
<v Speaker 2>Make it make sense? Respectfully, My question for you is

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>who is a winning player on this team? Like anybody,

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 2>has anybody done anything of note at any level at

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>any point in their career on this Detroit Pistons team.

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Why did you draft Luca Garza, Why did you draft

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Killian Hayes at seven? Why did you trade two second

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 2>round picks for Joe Harris. It boils down to this.

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting to think this organization doesn't know what they're doing.

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting to believe that this organization believes they're at

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 2>the antique road show and they can identify antiquities that

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 2>have value that no one else could figure out a

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>way to make work aka James Wiseman aka Marvin Bagley,

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 2>both number two overall picks, and that they have the

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>skills to those guys who have been busted elsewhere into

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>some sort of star. I am sorry, you don't know

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 2>how to identify talent or antiquities, and you sure as

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 2>hell don't know how to restore them. Let's talk about

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 2>who they drafted, Seiku dan Boya at fifteen, not twenty nineteen.

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 2>That was before Troy Weaver. Will let that be twenty twenty.

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Killian Hayes number seven, that is a travesty. You also

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 2>traded for Sadik bay at nineteen, Oh my god, twenty

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, k number one all allow it all allow it.

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Do I like it? No, I do not, but I

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 2>will allow it. Jade and Ivy number five in twenty

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, twenty twenty three, and by the way, Jade

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 2>and Ivy number five horrible, just horrible. Lots of guys

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 2>that could have gone after Jade and Ivy and did

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>go after Jade and Ivy that they passed on in

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the Killian Hayes draft. They could have gotten Tyrese Haliburt,

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Oscar Thompson at five.

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Fine.

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I like Oscar Thompson, He's good, But nobody can shoot

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>on this team besides bogged On and Joe Harris. You're like,

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>let's get some old white dudes to be shooters and

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 2>all the other guys will be the ones that can,

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.319
<v Speaker 2>like do whatever else. How do you fix the pistons, Well,

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting to believe that the way that you fix

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 2>it is uh to rip the whole thing up and

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 2>tear it, burn it down. The whole thing smells like

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 2>must it smells fishy, it smells like me when I've

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 2>been standing out in the rain. Smells a little too

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>much like wet dog to me. It's gross. Folks. Tear

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 2>it up, rip it apart, fire everyone and figure out

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 2>a way to get better at people in there, to

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 2>find talent, develop talent, and build a damn roster. They

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 2>might be in for cleaning how soon. And I am

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>fired up about how not just the Pistons, how they

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.320
<v Speaker 2>got here that how they can insistently stay here, how

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 2>they are allowed to operate without account because I know

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people who do their jobs quite well

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and they still lose them. And these people in basketball,

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 2>they continue to stay mediocre, stay bad, and stay employed.

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's move on. It's Wednesday, so you know what time

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's time for Hot and Cold, your weekly

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.319
<v Speaker 2>barometer of the hottest and coldest players in the association.

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 2>This week, our hottest man in the NBA is a

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 2>shocking development, a man that I told his agent is

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>RJ Barrett ever going to learn how to shoot? Is

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>your is your client ever going to become a shooter?

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Is he ever going to become an efficient player? What

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 2>is he? Is he a tweeter? Is he a two?

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Is he three?

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 4>What is he?

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>But RJ. Barrett is uh the best plus minus player

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 2>in the entire NBA right now. The maligned shooting guard

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Slash three is finally on the cusp of a breakthrough.

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 2>How do we know? He's averaging twenty four and three,

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>but more than that of all players with more than

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes per game. R J Barrett is number one

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>in net rating, ahead of Devin Booker, ahead of Shake

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Gildas Alexander, ahead of Derek white head of Aunt Edwards,

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 2>ahead of everyone's favorite new MVP candidate, Jason Tatum. How

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>has he been so good? Partly he is now a

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 2>three point sniper forty five percent from deep. Is that sustainable?

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't fucking know, but that's a pretty good sign.

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 2>That is one of the best percentages of a high

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 2>volume three point shooter in the league, considering that he

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>shot thirty one percent from three last year, one of

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the worst percentage of high volume shooters. This is an

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 2>incredible development. But a really overlooked element for r J

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Barrett this year is that he is shooting eighty four

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>percent from the charity Stripe, huge improvement seventy four percent

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 2>last year. In addition, his defense has now taking a

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>huge step forward. He is strapping pause. In a recent

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 2>comeback over the Heat in the final three minutes, RJ

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Barrett defended Jimmy Butler four times. Jimmy Butler, our man,

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 2>who's one of the clutchest dudes in the league, one

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 2>of the easiest guys to say. You can give him

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the ball and he will get a bucket. Jimmy Butler

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>went zero for four and the Knicks one by two.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>It's cool. It's cool to see j R. J. Barrett succeed.

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 2>He's a great dude. Our man rowing, Our man rowing

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>is putting up buckets. Take it up a serious notch.

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 2>He is the hottest of the hot. Who is the

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 2>coldest of the cold? Ice cold. Here's an intriguing case

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>study and why being ice cold doesn't mean that you're

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 2>an ineffective player. I am talking about this man's Cold

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:47.359
<v Speaker 2>of the week, ice cube man of the week, no vacilane.

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 2>We're talking Fred van Fleet in Houston. We all shook

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>our head when the Rockets signed him to a three year,

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty nine million dollar contract. Forty million

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 2>dollars I still believe is a little too much for

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Fred van Fleet, and yet he is the team leader

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>on a resurgent Rockets team that is currently seventh in

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 2>the West and has the number one ranked defense in

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 2>the NBA. The funny thing is he is shooting forty

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 2>percent from the field, which is fucking horrible, top five

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>worst field goal percentage in the NBA, just ahead of

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 2>shoot him to the moon Killian Hayes, which seems pretty impossible. Actually,

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>So how is he impacting winning, you might ask, if

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 2>he cannot shoot to save his fucking life. Well, he

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 2>doesn't miss free throws. He's hitting ninety percent for the season,

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 2>which is clutch for a team that plays in a

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of close games, which is insane because it's the

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Houston Rockets that we're talking about. Second, he's averaging one

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>point one blocks and steals stock stock stocks per game

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 2>and has a defensive rating of one hundred and ten,

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 2>which is over four points better than last year on

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 2>a Toronto team that was supposedly known for its defense.

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like it wasn't actually known for its defense. Thirdly,

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.680
<v Speaker 2>he has the fifth most assist in the NBA this year,

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 2>which means he is passing the ball really well, shooting

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>that pill to the man right in the bread basket

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>and getting them open easy looks. Add this to the

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 2>fact that he only turns the ball over one point

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.680
<v Speaker 2>six times per game, and now the Rockets are shooting

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 2>to the moon, and that means he has one of

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.119
<v Speaker 2>the best assistant turnover ratios in the league. So yeah,

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 2>being cold doesn't always mean you're bad. But Fred van

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Fleet cold player eyes cold cold the week. Wait till

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 2>he warms up, baby, then the Rockets will really be cooking.

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>All right. I got a special treat for everyone today.

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 2>And on my Tuesday spot with Dilo and Casey and

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Sacramento on ESPN thirteen twenty, we did a full around

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the league news discussion and I thought it was interesting.

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.119
<v Speaker 2>And listen, I'm moving, so I don't have a lot

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.359
<v Speaker 2>of time, so we're gonna repurpose some content for the people.

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 2>We talk a little bit about Josh Gritty to Chris

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.479
<v Speaker 2>Paul to Draymond Green. So let's get right into it.

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Love these guys, K.

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 4>You're good.

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 5>This is my new house. I just moved into a place.

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Horse make more money than Rocky. Look at that joint.

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to get like you, Damien. Your house

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 2>is nice as big.

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 4>You all got one way to go before you're like Damn.

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:33.119
<v Speaker 5>I mean all of us would be Google.

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Y'all are ridiculous. Man. I still love you both, but

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 3>y'all are ridiculous.

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.920
<v Speaker 6>Hey, congrats, that's fine. We could see the see the

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 6>wilderness behind you. You must got it's a forest.

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.119
<v Speaker 5>There's like a half an acre of a yard.

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, what a basketball?

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 3>DC Maryland or Virginia.

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 5>Virginia a legal bedding zone.

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh, let's go.

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 7>I guess I'm a little I'm a little upset though,

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 7>because this ends the dream that Tristan would move to Sacramento.

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's a one year lease, voice, so we'll see.

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 5>All right, we can always move. We can all. It's

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 5>very easy to do.

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's get into it.

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 7>Man.

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 6>Okay, sometimes stuff happens and I just wait. I was like,

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 6>let's see if we can get all through Monday without

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 6>talking about it, because I want Trista to talk about it. Okay,

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, something happened over the weekend we did not

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.639
<v Speaker 6>talk about yesterday. Anybody want to address what's going on

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 6>in Oklahoma City?

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy, Tristan for is yours?

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Anybody want to.

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 6>Talk about Anybody want to talk about Tine?

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 5>By the way, real quick, Malika is having a bad week.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 3>We'll just say, oh I caught that. I caught this.

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:57.360
<v Speaker 2>You knew it was gonna happen, because, let's be honest,

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Melika would have a jerk journalistic responsibility and ethical obligation

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 2>to bring up an entire segment of this if Josh

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Giddy was not yet, she would have an obligation for

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the probably in her mind, for the culture.

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, she's she's canvas owensing.

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Everything, you know, the best that she can possibly do.

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this, it's it's not great. I looked at

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 2>the photos, the ones that like surface first, the ig

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 2>account that's just like like a responsible citizen just deciding

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.440
<v Speaker 2>to like, hey, I have a I must bring this

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:44.439
<v Speaker 2>to the attention of the world.

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.400
<v Speaker 5>In the NBA, like probably.

0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 2>A seventeen year old ex boyfriend right like he's probably

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:53.040
<v Speaker 2>some salty kid living either in Oklahoma or Australia.

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 3>With a biology class, just really upset.

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 5>It's like, oh, I'm gonna get him. He thinks he's slick.

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 2>So it's like a kid that's letting this dirty laundry out.

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>So the photos that came out I saw him in

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 2>like order of and I hadn't seen any of the news.

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll lied, it just broke, and so I saw them

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the photos in order of like most clothes to least clothes,

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and it was like him and the girl and he

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 2>had his arms wrapped around her at like a carnival,

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, I made who can really say, you know,

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe they're at the carnival, maybe he's best friends with

0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.359
<v Speaker 2>her brother, and like they're just.

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 5>Taking a photo for the grand there's nothing that you

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 5>could really say is bad.

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 8>And then it's like a little like stranger like maybe

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 8>the setting is different and it's a little more personal.

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 8>And then the last photo is like you can see

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 8>the D'Angelo like hipline on and.

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, oh, that was gonna be tough. That one's gonna.

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 7>Be tough to sh Yeah, with the Josh giddy stuff.

0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I haven't done as much of a deep

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 7>dive as maybe others.

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you shouldn't you see what's on that. I think

0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 3>you'll get flagged by.

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 4>If you do too much of a see what's on

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:15.919
<v Speaker 4>the timeline?

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.919
<v Speaker 7>I you know, I know what it looks like to me,

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.360
<v Speaker 7>and what it looks like is not cool, Like it's

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 7>not okay. But I don't I don't know enough about it.

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:30.360
<v Speaker 7>I don't know who she really is, so I don't know,

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:32.679
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. You know, I know what it looks like,

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:33.600
<v Speaker 7>and that's not cool.

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 3>It's if he's in the lineup tonight.

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 7>In the lineup the other night, right, So so let

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 7>me ask you guys this. I mean, I feel like

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 7>there are people are upset that he's in the lineup,

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 7>isn't And we see this from time to time, and

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 7>I think there's extenuating circumstances and this may be one

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.159
<v Speaker 7>of them to be real, But the team in the

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 7>NBA and everything, they can't just see some some rumors

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 7>on Twitter and take it, you know what I mean, Like.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 3>You're innocent until proven guilty.

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 6>I know people don't like that, but you are right,

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 6>and they have to determine that he did what.

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:17.640
<v Speaker 5>I think that's different because a lot of people right.

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Rightly are upset, well I don't know if it's right,

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 2>but understandably upset that John Morhan sitting out twenty five

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 2>games for a lighter gun, a gun lighter And to that,

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I say, it really didn't and he didn't break any laws.

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 2>And Josh Giddy, if this were to be true, would have.

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:40.360
<v Speaker 5>Broken a bunch of them. But here's the thing. They

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 5>didn't suspend jaw for breaking laws.

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 2>They suspended him for that pattern the first you know,

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Uncle Willie, what was it, strip club Willis was it?

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:52.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that was it?

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, so something Willie's shotgun Willie's so that

0:23:56.400 --> 0:24:00.880
<v Speaker 2>it was the pattern of conduct detrimental to the league, right,

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 2>it's the appearance of and honestly, they don't want to

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:07.919
<v Speaker 2>say this, The league doesn't want to say this, but

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:13.400
<v Speaker 2>like the appearance of we'll call it quote unquote thuggery

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 2>is much more something that they do not want to

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 2>be associated with as a league than having sex with

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 2>an underage girl. I mean, Ruben Patterson played, Karl Malone

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>played like they.

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:32.479
<v Speaker 3>Can celebrated last year, yeah he was.

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 2>He was literally a judge in the dunk contest. That's

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 2>how little the NBA is.

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean last year, that was this year, that was

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.400
<v Speaker 3>season that was earlier, this calendar year.

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>So the truth is the way that the league was

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 2>back in the eighties where there was like games were

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 2>on tape delay, and it was seen as like this,

0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 2>well to say it, like an ultra thuggish persona.

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.120
<v Speaker 5>Whether that's Sue or not. Like they're like a lot.

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Of you know, the the quote unquote violence that was

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:10.360
<v Speaker 2>allowed in the game, and this the way that players acted,

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's why they tried to quote unquote clean it up. Right.

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 5>You had the you had the.

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 2>The dress code, you have you have this feeling where

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.640
<v Speaker 2>we don't want to go back as an NBA. That's

0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the appearance of it, at least from the commissioner's perspective.

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:27.159
<v Speaker 5>We don't want to even.

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Have the like proximity or the adjacency to quote unquote thuggree.

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.680
<v Speaker 2>So they come down on Jaw because of the way

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.639
<v Speaker 2>the owners feel, right and the way that the league

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:43.919
<v Speaker 2>feels because it's detrimental to their bottom line because of

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest, people who.

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Look like me that watch the game.

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think a one off Josh Gidey thing is

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>going to affect their bottom line nearly to the same extent.

0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 5>And that's just real.

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 7>I mentioned that they can't necessarily do anything due to

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 7>some some you know, Internet rumors, but I'll contradict it

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:09.400
<v Speaker 7>or give a flip side to it. There is an

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 7>investigation going on, and shouldn't they be able to say, Hey,

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 7>while this investigation is going on, you can't play.

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you'll get paid, they just can't play yeah, yeah,

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 3>you absolutely can't do that dred percent. That's probably what

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 3>I would do hundred percent. But they they better tiptoe

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 3>lightly because.

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's it's it's it's a it's a situation and

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.480
<v Speaker 6>people are going to have feelings about it. You mentioned

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 6>the John Morant situation, and I saw it brought up

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.240
<v Speaker 6>in the chat. Let's not forget what they did with

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:47.680
<v Speaker 6>Kyrie Irving and the amount of hoops that Kyrie had

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 6>to jump through to get back into the lineup, and

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 6>it took the Kings beating the Nets by thirty seven

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 6>on national television for the Nets to say, you know what,

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.360
<v Speaker 6>we think Kyrie's learned his lesson, and they and they

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 6>and they brought him back. But it was sensitivity training

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 6>and it was all this public proclamation about Kyrie Irving.

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:08.119
<v Speaker 6>Y'all better say the right stuff when it comes to

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:13.120
<v Speaker 6>Josh Getty you been y'all better say something that satisfies me.

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 4>Facts.

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:20.719
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't heat checked by it. If you want one

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:22.920
<v Speaker 6>on the Josh Gidty situation. Sorry, TK, what was that?

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 2>So?

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm glad that you guys waited for Tuesday for me.

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 6>Oh, we had to, we had to, and something just

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 6>dawned on me too. I don't think in one game two.

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't think the Kings have beat the Warriors in

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 6>Sacramento since Trista's left.

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Damn it. Who Trista was.

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Here for game one? It was here for game two.

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Sent trist to your jet right now so we could have.

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, where's yours?

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't google me, google him.

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:52.399
<v Speaker 5>Once for all the marbles of the ist.

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I t all right. I don't think I've heard

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 3>it referred to as that before. It's simple, I get id,

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:06.160
<v Speaker 3>but it is Yeah, well that no, let's not do that.

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 3>That sounds like something else.

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 5>That sounds a little like something you want to get some.

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sounds like something you catch it.

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 6>Ricky's so strict, seven oh five J Street, downtown Sacramento.

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 3>You don't want that. You don't want that. It's always,

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 3>it's always.

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 6>It's always the Warriors, TK, It's always the Warriors.

0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Draymond's first game back from suspension, he said, this man said,

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna get me to apologize for choking a

0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 2>man out. I was doing my best to protect my teammates.

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 5>I do that.

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I am ten toes down. You know me, Draymond best

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 2>teammate in history for the Dubs. Our Dubs do not

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 2>mind the fact.

0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 5>That I punched my teammate.

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 2>You do not mind that I have dismantled this organization

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 2>from the inside out. He better this team better start winning.

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Folks are Dubs or Joe Lacup. Uncle Joe is going

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 2>to have to start making some We not have to.

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have to.

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 5>He's a billionaire.

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 2>He is going to start making some hard choices about

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:13.640
<v Speaker 2>who is in this lineup and who is on this

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>team come trade deadline.

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 5>And if I am Klay Thompson and I am.

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Draymond Green, I would be I would be concerned about

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 2>the success of the regular season at this moment because

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 2>he said many times, I am not paying this amount

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 2>of money in luxury tax payments for a team that's

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 2>a play and team. I barely wanted to do it

0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>when you were a six seed.

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 4>So is that what has Clay Thompson all stressed out

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 4>right now? Yes?

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:41.719
<v Speaker 5>Are you serious? He can't even get his money. We

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 5>knew this was an issue last year.

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Actually during the King Series Game one, before the game

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 2>they were talking about how Clay wants max money and

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 2>max money he will not get so you either accept

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 2>that men or you start wondering what life is like

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 2>in s hit for zach Lavin.

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 6>Oh, oh, he can't do that. You can't get a

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 6>bat minimum deal from Golden State. Like that's not even

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 6>a that's not really okay.

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 4>We'll call it.

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll call it bi annual exception, or call it you know,

0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 2>we'll call it mid level. He's not getting maxim You

0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 2>can't give that man even in the thirties. He's got

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>to accept something in the in the twenties. But just

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 2>get Bruce Brown money.

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 6>In that case, I understand why he's upset because he's

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 6>looking at Draymond.

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Mike.

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 6>You just gave that dude twenty five per year for

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 6>four years. I understand why Clay would be upset in

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 6>that situation.

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:42.840
<v Speaker 7>And and I'll set that you gave Draymond that basically,

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 7>and I'm not completely against this. I understand it the

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 7>the Kobe treatment where you're not that anymore, but thank

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 7>you for your services, and we're gonna pay you that way.

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 4>And Clay's looking at it like if.

0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 7>You're given him that, I need that because I'm way

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 7>more vital to what we just did.

0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Except for you already got the Kobe treatment when you

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 2>sat there and got the max deal after the after

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the twenty nineteen season and you tore your a cl

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and they still maxed you out and you were gone

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 2>for two and a half years.

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:20.880
<v Speaker 4>That's true.

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 2>You got max money for two and a half years

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 2>and you did not play a lick of basketball.

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're right about that. They did give them that contract.

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 6>Need one of them called you think they I mean

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 6>when you talk about you talk about what someone means

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 6>to a franchise. If Steph God forbid Tares's Achilles, you

0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 6>pay Steph for the next four you tell you pay

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 6>Steph until Steph goes.

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you don't have to pay me one hundred million anymore.

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 6>That's what you do. That's the Kobe treatment. You don't

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 6>do that for Clay or Draymond. That's why what Draymond

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.120
<v Speaker 6>got Draymond the season they had is bath.

0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking about Clay.

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, I got you because that's unlike anything we've

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 7>ever seen in Again.

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I got you.

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:06.560
<v Speaker 6>If you do that for Draymond, though, you have to

0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 6>do it for Clay. That's my opinion, and that's that's

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 6>just let the ship think.

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't think I don't think Joe lacub wants

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 5>to do that.

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:17.080
<v Speaker 2>And if I am Joe, I'm thinking, Okay, well, we

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 2>had one bad year. We got balanced out of the

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to the Lakers Wigs. He had that personal time. You're

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 2>making excuses for your team, right, You're like, well, Wiggs

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't with the team for like two months. He wasn't right,

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:33.240
<v Speaker 2>He's not in condition. You know, Clay took some time

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 2>to ramp back up. He wasn't in condition. He played

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot better Draymond. There was this cloud hanging over

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the team. But like, none of this happens according to

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Steph without Draymond. So like, let's pay Draymond. Worst case scenario,

0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>we can trade Draymond. That's an asset that will be

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:55.960
<v Speaker 2>we can finesse another team like the Lakers clutch sports

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 2>guy to get him, and maybe we get some role

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 2>players out of it. Right, if you're doing it for Clay,

0:33:02.080 --> 0:33:05.560
<v Speaker 2>the jig is up on Clay. We know what it is.

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 2>He was one of the best two way shooting guards

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:13.200
<v Speaker 2>in the league, and he's now a one way shooting

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>guard that's not particularly good at the one way either

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 2>right now, and he's jacking up threes early on the

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 2>shot clock, off the dribble. We know he can get

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>hot at any time, but when is that time coming?

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 2>And like guys that can't do what he used to do,

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 2>they're just not very valuable. Trading him would be extremely difficult.

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 2>We're trading a guy like Draymond on a team that's

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a piece away. You need a defensive presence. Even if

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 2>he was to go back to Detroit and help.

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 5>Those young boys, that kind of a thing. I think

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 5>Troy Weaver could be finessed. That's how I would see it.

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can finesse anyone if you pay

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Clay he is a boat anchor on your squad.

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Two things unrelated, but we'll pass along from Sean Sharania.

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.800
<v Speaker 3>LaMelo Ball suffered a serious brain in his right ankle

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 3>on is likely to miss extended time.

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 5>That means to do surgery probably.

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:11.640
<v Speaker 6>Test show Ball avoided a fracture in the ankle which

0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:16.240
<v Speaker 6>required surgery last season, and a cautious approach is expected.

0:34:16.280 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 6>So it sounds like they're probably gonna not do the

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:21.440
<v Speaker 6>surgery to start and cross their fingers.

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 3>That's tough. Wow, that's tough. That's tough. Yeah, that's tough question.

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 6>I was going to ask you earlier. I'll throw at

0:34:31.040 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 6>Trista and I'd like your response earlier. This is what

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:35.359
<v Speaker 6>I took a note on because we were joking about

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:37.759
<v Speaker 6>the Wizards, uh pistons.

0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 4>I was really watching that game last night. I know,

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 4>j and iviws.

0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:44.560
<v Speaker 7>They were like they had a Jaden Ivy highlight package

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 7>and they were like, Oh, he's drawn dimes and l

0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 7>oops and he's scoring. I was like, dang, Jay Knivey

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 7>must be going off four points five assist.

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:55.320
<v Speaker 5>It was.

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 6>It was as equally as compelling as watching the seventy

0:34:58.719 --> 0:34:59.360
<v Speaker 6>six Ers meat the.

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:01.359
<v Speaker 4>Lakers by, like, oh, they beat the Brakes up there.

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:06.480
<v Speaker 3>All jokes aside, would Jordan Poole be? Would the Warriors

0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 3>be better if Jordan Poole was still on the team?

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 6>Would well, would Jordan Poole be the nightly low light

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 6>if he was in a Warriors uniform? And let's let's

0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 6>work the hypothetical to his full ex extent. You had

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 6>to pick one. You picked Jordan, and Draymond's gone, no, I.

0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 5>Don't think so?

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, but I I I wasn't even calculating how

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 2>tense that relationship still would be. But like I'm thinking

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Jordan in the lineup over Clay and what that looks

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 2>like offensively Clay maybe coming off the bench, and then

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 2>you like don't pay him or figure it out.

0:35:51.080 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 5>I still don't like it.

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:56.000
<v Speaker 2>This team has major issues right, the whole two timeline thing.

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.399
<v Speaker 2>It's it's so difficult, and I know that they've done

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 2>a decent job, given the fact that they did win

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>a championship two years ago, but like when in history

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:10.400
<v Speaker 2>can you just not you're a dynasty and then you

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 2>like almost spring from the ashes like a phoenix without

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the burndown, Right, Like when can you be a dynasty

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:23.400
<v Speaker 2>that current dynasty ends and then a new one begins

0:36:23.520 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 2>without a period of like scorched earth and rebuild. It

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:30.840
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't really happen. And for whatever reason, unless you

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 2>have some some star that you have lucked into, like

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:40.320
<v Speaker 2>the next step you've drafted him instead of instead.

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 5>Of our our man James Wiseman.

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 2>But like that's such a thread of the needle and

0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the arrogance to believe that that's what you can do

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 2>and that's what you will do to have dominance for

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:53.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty plus years is what Joe Lacobs said he wants

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:56.320
<v Speaker 2>he wants to He wants to be a dynasty until

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 2>his grandson is his age, is what he I think

0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:01.040
<v Speaker 2>he said, which is just insane.

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 6>He also said the Lady Warriors whatever they're called, they're

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 6>gonna win a title in their first five years, all right,

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:09.280
<v Speaker 6>which if you know the league, you know that's comical.

0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 4>All right, Joe, all right, now.

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 7>The thing about the Jordan Poole thing is I'd wish

0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:19.439
<v Speaker 7>you to the whole story. That's I think the whole

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 7>story has to be said about Jordan Poole. This is

0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:25.400
<v Speaker 7>just my belief. I could be wrong reading too much

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 7>into it. That incident with Draymond changed him forever, and

0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:31.840
<v Speaker 7>he was not the same guy that he was before.

0:37:32.160 --> 0:37:34.919
<v Speaker 7>That was that, I don't want to say he didn't

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:37.359
<v Speaker 7>carry him. It was Staph doing this thing. But when

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 7>Drake couldn't do nothing and Clay couldn't do nothing, they

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:41.759
<v Speaker 7>were like, Jordan, we need you to get twenty five.

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.879
<v Speaker 7>And he would do it, and he helped them win

0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:48.800
<v Speaker 7>that championship. That guy's gone forever, in my opinion, and

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 7>if if and part of why that guy's gone forever

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 7>is not only what happened, but the aftermath. The aftermath

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:03.359
<v Speaker 7>and the way the organization handled that situation messed him up.

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 7>You know, he's probably not trusting right now. You probably

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:11.640
<v Speaker 7>didn't have the same care free joy about before that active.

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 5>Like he's playing with joy though. This man passed up

0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 5>a wide open MIDI but what Yeah, it was like

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 5>an underhand like that's a Lebron. It looked like the

0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 5>Lebron baby powder, you know, toss but like to try.

0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:34.919
<v Speaker 3>To make a basket and it didn't work.

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:35.920
<v Speaker 4>It got swatted on.

0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 3>It was the ninth I counted it was at least

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.680
<v Speaker 3>the ninth row. Yeah, it was not good. He's bad,

0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:49.080
<v Speaker 3>He's but I also think that's uh, that environment, that's

0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 3>the team, that's what you built. That's that's you. I mean, God,

0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:54.879
<v Speaker 3>wes Unselt, God bless you, brother.

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 4>This is it r I P.

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.400
<v Speaker 6>Because you ain't gonna make it through this, and I

0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 6>don't know who's gonna come. I don't know how you

0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:05.640
<v Speaker 6>fixed this, Like you've you've set capable players and you've

0:39:05.680 --> 0:39:08.480
<v Speaker 6>allowed them to establish these bad tendencies.

0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:13.520
<v Speaker 5>What what I guess Jason Kidd is probably but he's

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:14.320
<v Speaker 5>a Hall of Famer.

0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna ask what black coach comes in, fails miserably,

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and then gets another head.

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Coaching job, fails miserably. And Jason Kidd did Jason, No,

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:26.320
<v Speaker 3>he didn't.

0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 2>He. I mean, there was some good things happening with Yannis,

0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 2>good things happening with the Nets.

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:34.320
<v Speaker 3>So I can't think of one.

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:36.880
<v Speaker 7>The one, you know, the one that you could think of,

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:40.200
<v Speaker 7>and I still wouldn't call it fail miserably. Mike Brown,

0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 7>I don't think, uh, the Cleveland, the second Cleveland was

0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:47.239
<v Speaker 7>a little round, right, you know what I'm saying.

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't call it, but everybody like, I mean, but

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't do that.

0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Your first stint. You haven't succeeded at all any other time.

0:39:59.160 --> 0:40:03.280
<v Speaker 2>This is like it's opportunity one. We're giving you the ship.

0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, go and be the captain.

0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Stormy seas happened, shipwrecks, You're no longer able to be

0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:12.840
<v Speaker 2>a captain of a boat anymore.

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 4>Normally it doesn't happen.

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 7>And that's why people were so upset with Steven Nash,

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.719
<v Speaker 7>because the black coaches don't Usually they usually get the

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 7>Washington's in the Houston's. They don't get Brooklyn. You know what,

0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:25.000
<v Speaker 7>Kad and Kyrie that's why people were so upset up.

0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:26.360
<v Speaker 5>I almost got fired over that.

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh for what from Barstool I wrote about that, that

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 2>exact premise that you just said, Kenny, And how laughable

0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 2>that movie.

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Barstool almost fired you. That is stunning to hear. I

0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:40.960
<v Speaker 3>for one, am shocked.

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 7>I do want to hear from Christa about this one though,

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 7>Chris Paul, Scott Foster's gotten out of control. If you

0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 7>asked me, it was already out of control, and it's

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 7>even more out of control nowba. I mean, the NBA

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 7>just gonna stick their head in the sand still with

0:40:56.880 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 7>this whole thing and still have him on.

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 2>We need a truth We need a truth sayer to

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:04.800
<v Speaker 2>tell us what it is that could possibly be personal

0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 2>between these two dudes. And like I heard on Reddit

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:11.640
<v Speaker 2>or I read on Reddit that like Scott Foster had

0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:14.120
<v Speaker 2>son that's like a rest in like a a a

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:17.400
<v Speaker 2>U league or whatever, and then Chris Paul's son was

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:19.480
<v Speaker 2>getting the Scott Foster treatment. I don't know if that's

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:22.120
<v Speaker 2>true at all, And like, what could it be about

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:25.719
<v Speaker 2>his son that Scott Foster years ago? Because Chris Paul

0:41:25.760 --> 0:41:31.319
<v Speaker 2>said he sat in a room with Mike Delaney, doc Rivers. Yeah,

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Scott Foster his dad, Chris Paul's.

0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Dad, how.

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:42.279
<v Speaker 7>For christ Yes, And it didn't go well. They didn't

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 7>even they were even like all faced.

0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:55.920
<v Speaker 2>All there, Houston, OK, c uh, Phoenix, Washington, Golden State and.

0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:58.799
<v Speaker 7>They had that meeting that pow wow, and Chris Paul

0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 7>was like, yeah, it didn't go well, and they just

0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 7>just move on.

0:42:02.400 --> 0:42:03.239
<v Speaker 4>NBA just moved on.

0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 5>For every game he's and he he refs way too

0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:10.480
<v Speaker 5>many Chris Paul games for my life. Yeah, there's it's

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:12.400
<v Speaker 5>almost like the league's like, oh yeah, you don't like

0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 5>stop Foster. We're having him reff every meaningful game that

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 5>you play in. He's like one in thirteen in the

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:19.439
<v Speaker 5>games that got Foster rest.

0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think he's been an I think he's been favored.

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 2>His team's been favored in like ninety percent of those games.

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:28.600
<v Speaker 2>So I've lost games that they were favored in. Guys

0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:30.759
