WEBVTT - Why it is hard to appreciate Golden State

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Fine or by the player that everyone expected to go

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>absolutely ham our man, Andrew Wiggins. What putting on a

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>performance for the Ages Game five? The Andrew Wiggins Game

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty six points, thirteen rebounds back to back off another

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>stellar performance where seventeen points.

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Sixteen rebounds.

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know Andrew Wiggins was a rebounder, right, Like,

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that's not his game, my lord. Add this to the

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's been a defensive stopper all playoff long,

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>taking on the challenge to guard Luca, Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum.

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>A little inside baseball in the fact that Andrew Wiggins

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>trains with the same trainer that Jason Tatum trains with,

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Drew Hanlin, Pure Sweat, so he knows exactly all the

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>moves that Jason Tatum's been working on in his bag,

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:50.959
<v Speaker 1>and he's like.

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, nope, now I know where you're going.

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>People might actually stop bitching about Andrew Wiggins making the

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>All Star Game now or or k Pop getting him

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>into the All Star Game is what gave him the

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>confidence to get to this point. Who knows it's chicken

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>or the egg at this this moment, I can't tell.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>And on my Bengo card, I did not have Wiggans

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>showing up when the lights are brightest. I just never

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>thought that that would ever. I would have bet my

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>house on it. Probably something just last year, we were

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>all joking about playoff Wiggins, crunch time, clutch time Wiggins.

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>It's like he turns into a pumpkin, and now he

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>turns into Lebron James.

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>They're calling him maple Jordan again.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Maple Jordan jokes on us because this dude's been the

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 1>best player or second best player on.

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>The floor for long stretches of the time.

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Kurr decided he was gonna speak on Wiggins showing more emotion.

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>He also says something very quickly that I have not

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>in my notes, but off the top of my head.

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>He basically said that Wiggans shows that every player in

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the NBA can reach impact player potential if they're put

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>in the right situation. That just leads me to wonder

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>what players are just hiding on the bench that are

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>not being fully utilized. I think that's actually true of

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>all human beings. I think we all can be more

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>if we're in the right situation. Kurr spoke on Wiggans

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>showing more emotion, he says he's a very mild mannered

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>guy Canadian, but he's taking a leap in these playoffs

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in terms of his impact on the game. Defensively, the

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing right now is that he's a two way player.

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Lots of jokes.

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Happening right now about Wiggins maybe stealing the Finals MVP

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>from Steph, which would be an atrocity. Steph, who did

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>not make a three for the first time in one

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty two consecutive playoff games and two hundred

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and thirty three straight games as a whole, it's been

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and thirty three games. Go to mass school.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 1>That's like four years, four or five years or something

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>like that, where Steph has made a three. Oh for nine,

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Will it cost him the Finals MVP? Next up on Undisputed, No,

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>don't bet it on it.

0:02:58.720 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't bet on it.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>And Wigs was the reason though one hundred percent that

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the Warriors got this win, not something I anticipated. He

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>was also oh for six from three, so Wiggins and

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Steph oh for fifteen from three and they still win

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>by ten. I, by the way, had Warriors to win

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>by at least nine and a half, and boy was

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that a backdoor sweat.

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Those scrubs that came in at the end of the game.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>They were trying those Boston the Aaron Nis Smiths of

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the world were trying to my bed up folks.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Wiggins fifty more or more from the field forty three

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes in both games.

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>And what's fascinating right now to me about this performance

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of Andrew Wiggins is that now Jimmy Butler always liked

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wiggins. Just now we're getting all the glowing endorsements

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>from everyone that's ever been on a team with Andrew

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Wiggins coming out from the woodworks in ways that are.

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Just odd timing.

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Now Tim Tom Thibodeau has glowing remarks for Andrew Wiggins.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Two dudes who've.

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Been writing Andrew Wiggins ass telling him off your girl

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>if you don't like run on these run these suicides,

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>like they've been saying he's been lazy since he was

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now it's just coming

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>out that he's always had this amazing work ethic. Like

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wiggins from beginning of time till now has always

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>been incredible competitor.

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 2>He's always been a hard worker.

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>We just didn't see it and now Jimmy Butler and

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Tom Thibodeau resounding praise.

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Draymond Green been like first thing.

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Soon as that trade went down, Tom Thibodeau called me up,

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and he and why called me up. He's like, you're

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>getting a great dude. You're getting an amazing player in

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wiggins.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Where was this when the trade happened? Come on, now

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>these stories. As for the Celtics, they needed ship ball handler.

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how they're going to get one.

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 1>We've said, like, I don't understand what moves you make

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>because you're already in the finals and you can't really

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 1>mess up with a good thing. But listen, Marcus Smart

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>can't handle the rock. Jalen Brown can't handle the rock.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Jason Tatum sometimes can't handle the rock. The best ball

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>handler on this team's probably Peyton Pritchard, and he's getting

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>like twelve minutes a game. Peyton Pritchell Pritchet has handles.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Nobody else has handles. I don't trust a single one

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>of them driving into the lane and not turning the

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>ball over. Congrats also to Boston for winning the third

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>quarter for the first time all series didn't matter. Congrats

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 1>to the Boston Celtics on stopping Steph for a full

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>game did not matter. But it kind of just feels

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.799
<v Speaker 1>like that seven game series that they've had in every

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>series along the.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Way except for the Nets.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>One right, you sweep the nets and you go seven

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Bucks, seven with the heat, and now you're

0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>probably tuckered out, need warm milk and your mom to

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>read you a bedtime story because you look like it's

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>night nighttime.

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 2>It does.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping. I'm hoping that they can make some moves.

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Someone Draymond Green's bed in Boston.

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Can we get that?

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 1>Can we get somebody to pee in Ayisha Curry's.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Somewhere?

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Because something hotel room, I don't know, Airbnb.

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I need a Father's Day matchup? I do. I need

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a Father's Day game seven.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I need it. I don't just need it, I want it.

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm praying for it. Jalen Brown says, we're not scared.

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>We do not fear the Golden State Warriors. I'm glad

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>about that. That's the spunky attitude they're gonna need at

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a boy, Jalen Brown, don't stand down, don't let them

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>push you around, sir, keep your head up.

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.039
<v Speaker 2>That's what we need. That's what we all deserve. A

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Game seven, that's what we need.

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>After Game five, after the Andrew Wiggins game, went on SVP,

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>which tells you pretty much where he's at as a

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>media member. He's on SVP and he's at and SVP's

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>asking him what Brian thinks about that game.

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 2>So heads up to.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>All the Warriors media. Brian Winhorse is kind of a

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>big deal of NBA insider, two times New York Times

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>bestselling author, number one NBA podcast host, So he chimes

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>in and what he said went.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Goes viral, viral viral. So I want to play it

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 2>for you because.

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>It's it became the talk of the town in Warriors media,

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and they freaked out.

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Because Andrew Wiggins, he's not an underdog. He makes thirty

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 3>two million. While the Warriors were down these last couple

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 3>of years, winning no games, they kept spending money because

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 3>they've got it. They resigned Raymond Green, they re signed

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Steph Curry, they resigned Kevon Looney, they kept Andrew Wiggins,

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 3>and boy died to show up tonight. Andrew Wiggins with

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>a supreme moment in his career. He was a throw

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 3>in in the trade. Other teams would have totally gotten

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 3>rid of him. They stuck with him. They have a

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 3>three hundred and forty million dollars payroll when you consider taxes.

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 3>You don't just have to beat the Warriors on the court.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 3>You got to beat their checkbook. And nothing away from

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Andrew Wiggins tonight. But this was a checkbook win for

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 3>the Warriors.

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Check book win for the Warriors. I mean he's not wrong,

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>he's not. I mean he said except for the check

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>book win part, which is definitely a little shady, it's

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a little shady, But everything else he said was completely factual.

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>So then KMBR decided to chime in. They're the they're

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>one of two local radio stations out of the Bay area.

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what they had to say. They took exception,

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't they They did.

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Why in the world would people pay attention to Brian Windhorst,

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 4>that's the first question, Like why would anything he says

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:20.439
<v Speaker 4>rile people up? It's like, really, Brian windhorse I got you, Yeah,

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 4>he got a mear skill. I mean, come on, really,

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean that that's like I did that. I saw

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 4>it and I said, well that's just it's wrong and

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 4>it's ludicrous. Is what it is.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, boss, this man, this man, Brian Windhorse has eight

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I just checked eight hundred and twelve thousand Twitter followers.

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's look at kmbr's Twitter account. Uh, the actual station

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>where this man is speaking. Tom Tolbert, former NBA Uh,

0:09:55.280 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest, journeyman has an average more than ten

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>points a game in his entire life as an NBA.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Player, but has nothing to do with it.

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and twenty one thousand followers on KMBR, Sir,

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>don't act like what Brian Winhor says. Doesn't send ripples

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>around the league? Stop that?

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Stop that please?

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>So then then we've got the ninety five seven game

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>people in the crew. We also had Steve Berman, Bay

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Area reporter for the Athletic Key Guys. He says his

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>postgame podcasts make me feel bad for Zach Low for

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>being forced.

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>To do them.

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>The constant Lebron mentions saying Steph wasn't actually hurt in

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.959
<v Speaker 1>Game four, spouting owners talking points about a CBA they

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>agreed to isn't surprising.

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 2>This isn't a hot take.

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>To say that their deep pockets bought two championships with

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>KD isn't even mildly controversial. They are two hundred million

0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars into the luxury tax two one hundred million dollars, folks.

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>So ninety five to seven, the game which the Morning

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Roast has a little beef with me. He spouted on

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Twitter about me being some hot take artist that craps

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 1>whatever on Warriors.

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not even true. It's him though that I have

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 2>a problem with.

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>So they have Brian Windhorse on and I went just

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.439
<v Speaker 1>accidentally on the ninety five to seven. The game app

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>at around ten in the morning, and this is what

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>they had to do.

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 5>I hear you on like the checkbook stuff. But aren't

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 5>they the model of how to run your business. Not

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 5>only did they pay all of these you know, different

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 5>contracts from within, they also built a stadium with their

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 5>own dollar and reinvested it back into the team. To me,

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 5>they should be lauded as what every owner should be

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 5>doing right now in sports, not just in the NBA.

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 5>This is how you should run your business, trying to

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.199
<v Speaker 5>compete at the highest level. I don't know why that's

0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 5>a negative.

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 6>Ill first off, I don't know why you're implying what

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 6>I said was a negative. Why are you implying what

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 6>I said was a negative. I was giving the Warriors

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 6>a compliment, okay, uh for being able to stick with

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 6>spendings through their through their rebuild, and that's why they

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 6>have the depth on this team. But but and and

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 6>and I mean nobody would argue that that Bob Myers

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 6>in his front office have not done a tremendous job

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 6>and that uh and that Joe Lacup and Joe and

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.079
<v Speaker 6>uh and and Peter Gouber have done a great job

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 6>in financing the team. But it is not a level

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 6>playing field. Well, is it that the faults? What's that?

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Is it that the fault of the other owners? Because

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 4>the Warriors are using their resources well within the rule

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 4>book to spend the money if they have, and he

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.839
<v Speaker 4>spent it on a lot of homegrown doll complain like

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 4>Dallas Mark Cuban makes all this, but he doesn't spend

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.839
<v Speaker 4>at all, that's his fault.

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.559
<v Speaker 6>I don't understand. I'm still I'm still not sure why

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 6>you guys got your back up because it.

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 5>Feels like a backhanded compliment, I mean a backhanded statement

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 5>because of last year that they paid for Kelly Oubre

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 5>and nobody was complaining when they're paying thirty five million

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 5>dollars for Clay to not play a dribble of basketball

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 5>and then all of a sudden, now that they're winning.

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 5>Just my interpretation, it felt like you were picking up

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 5>water for some of the poor owners who refuse to

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 5>get dip into the luxury tax. That's the way I

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 5>interpreted it.

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't a crisism. I was praising them. Okay, I'm saying,

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 6>when you go against the Warriors, you're not just going

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 6>to You're going against a team that has incredible financial might.

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.439
<v Speaker 6>That's just a true statement.

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 2>They're so den skin defensive. Stop it, please, please stop it.

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Brian, if you're sensing hostility coming your direction, you are.

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 1>If you is sensing with your little spidy senses that

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>their hackles are up and they're waiting to strike like

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>a little viper on you, and that they're not going

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk you behind your back.

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 2>As soon as you're off the phone, you are correct.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 2>You are correct.

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>This is why this right here, I look for examples

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>in real time for folks to know why it's hard,

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>why it's hard for me to love and adore one

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>of the best teams assembled, one of the best franchises

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>run all that one of the most likable teams.

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>This is why.

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Because Bay Area reporters, bay Area media people are like this.

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>They have the thinnest skins I've ever seen. Accusing Windhorse

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>of being an irrelevant hot take artist just makes y'all

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>look like low budget fanboys with microphones and credentials. Listen,

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>don't pretend then to have a station that really quote

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>unquote covers the team.

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Don't.

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 1>They're thin skinned with their hackles up because one national

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>media member said something that was one hundred percent true

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and not even the tag controversial because it makes them

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 1>offensive about why they won and why.

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 2>They continue to win. If you were to add.

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant to the Boston Celtics right now, would Warriors

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>fans be whining? Yes, they would be whining because Kevin

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Durant to any team makes things unfair when you already

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>have a stacked roster that can get to the finals,

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and that would still be less than the Warriors are paying.

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I bet you Dub's media would be wit wit. They

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>can't spend that much.

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kaminga are a downstream effect.

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Let me just say this very very clearly. You have without.

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Out spending and finding a way in twenty sixteen to

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>sign Kevin Durant with that little tiny gap of period

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>of time where Steph hadn't been signed yet, Clay hadn't

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>been resigned yet, and you signed KD without that moment

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>in time. You don't have Andrew Wiggins, you don't have

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Kaminga. You overpaying for KD is how you got

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>to this place. So it is a check book win.

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest people. That's what they try to say. Oh,

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>we've organically built. The only players that we've quote unquote.

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Paid for are Bi Alicia and Chris Chiosa and somebody

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 2>else that's not relevant to this scenario j J. Scrubs

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 2>of the world.

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 1>The argument is that they've developed all of their talent

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>internally and organically organically. But the Wiggins trade didn't happen

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>without KD. That's savvy tactician work. How they get Wiggins.

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>They signed KD in free agency checkbook move. Then he

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>decided to leave. They wouldn't let him leave for nothing,

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>so they went and got d LO for no reason

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>at the time, it felt like, but no, they wanted

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to make sure they had a chess piece on their

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>board because once you once, you don't if you if

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>you use it. If you don't use it, you lose it, right,

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So then you do a sign and trade to get

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>DLO and then you flip d LO for pick and

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Wiggins? Stop? How is that internal growth? How Wiggins makes?

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Wiggins makes thirty two million dollars a year?

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 4>Y'all?

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Add that to steph forty six Clay thirty eight dre

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty four. That's one hundred and forty million dollars for

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 1>four players. That's more than the entire fifteen man Celtics

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>roster one hundred and thirty two million between four guys.

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 1>The NBA salary cap is one hundred and twenty two

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>million dollars.

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>What is wrong with you? How do you not see this?

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.160
<v Speaker 1>You're eighteen million dollars in the luxury tax with eleven

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>more players left to sign. How is that internal growth?

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>How is that organic? James Wiseman makes ten million dollars

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a year and he hasn't done anything and I don't

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.119
<v Speaker 1>know how long he hasn't seen the court once the

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 1>season he got shut down at the end of last season.

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Are you really trying to tell me that deep pockets

0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:02.120
<v Speaker 1>haven't impacted this series. Really, really, you're trying to tell

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.680
<v Speaker 1>me we just find and attract the best talent, which

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>is why we're the best.

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 6>Stop that.

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Four hundred and sixty five.

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Million dollars, four hundred and sixty five million dollars with

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the repeater tax, that is what Golden State is paying

0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>nearly a half a billion dollars. The Celtics with their

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 1>luxury tax hit one hundred and thirty four million. Do

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you see what is so clear as day.

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.640
<v Speaker 2>That's not a knock, that's not a dig. They just outspend.

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what they did.

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant was the outspend. Everything that comes from Kevin

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Durant is the same thing right down again. And trust me,

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 1>this is not a shot at Warriors ownership at all.

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:46.919
<v Speaker 2>I understand.

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Brilliant move, Joe lacub Bob Myers, brilliant guys.

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.239
<v Speaker 2>How can I say that they didn't do what they

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 2>were supposed to do.

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Nobody thought Wiggins was any good. You can outspend other

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>people and it be bad decisions. A lot plenty of

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.919
<v Speaker 1>teams outspending in a bad plenty. But they outspent and

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>got a place and a player that they knew could

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>fit into what they wanted to do in their system.

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.879
<v Speaker 1>I respect it, I think everything possible should do it,

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 1>But don't be so disingenuous to say that you're light

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:14.360
<v Speaker 1>years ahead of everyone else.

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 2>It's like that that rich ass.

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Kid with parents that are rich, that has an awesome

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>job and they've gotten up to this place where they're

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the CEO of a company. But it's like, yo, how

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 1>did you get here?

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 2>You started on third? Stop it, stop it.

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.719
<v Speaker 1>There's no way Andrew Wiggins gets to this roster without

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you having a lot of money.

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 2>That's it. That's all we could say.

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Not a chance that you can make the trade work

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>to get Andrew Wiggins without having Delos salary and him

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>being overly paid, overpaying somebody that you can get to

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 1>trade for another overpaid person. That's the only way that

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you get that done. There are Warriors media that I love.

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>We had him on on Monday, John Dickinson love him.

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what he told me. He's between me, you

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.679
<v Speaker 1>and the lamp post. He's disgusted by the two is.

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 2>It's disgusting, it's gross. This is absolutely baffling.

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>You guys are awful and don't let me get excited

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 1>enough to start putting my hat, my name in the

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.959
<v Speaker 1>hat to cover the Warriors. Don't make me head out

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 1>to the Bay because I'm getting close. I'm getting close.

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't make me take your job. Don't make me take

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 1>your job. I love Kendrick Andrews, I love the light

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Years guys, but this low rent fanboy that has got

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>to go gotta go, folks, please,
