Speaker 1: get another phone. Please, thank you. No sailings glasses, Malone
Speaker 1: Peters in the route. I got my brothers from my
Speaker 1: favorite podcast and all the podcasts, which is Hoops and Bruised.
Speaker 1: Some of the most accurate and funniest takes in all
Speaker 1: of basketball world. And and you're write time because if
Speaker 1: we're talking about old things and old phones, and I'm
Speaker 1: pressured to get a new phone, why should I get
Speaker 1: a new phone? If my phone was an all time great?
Speaker 1: Why should I get a new phone that my my
Speaker 1: iPhone eight is an all time great? Your phone is
Speaker 1: not Lebron James stopped playing games. My phone is definitely Lebron.
Speaker 1: Her phone is Anthony Day. My phone is definitely years
Speaker 1: and years, years and years of impressive certain What the
Speaker 1: fuck this is the Lebron James of iPhones, iPhone eight, trusty, reliable,
Speaker 1: It ran well, years and years. The screen broke that
Speaker 1: I put the screen back together. It took all the
Speaker 1: new programming. It was awesome, but you know what happened.
Speaker 1: What happened is eventually it stops functioning properly. And even
Speaker 1: though I can't tell all the time right that it
Speaker 1: is not functioning properly, it still isn't functioning properly, like right,
Speaker 1: just like you're telling me, you like, I just want
Speaker 1: to make phone calls, Lebron Jack, want to just get buckets.
Speaker 1: But that don't mean that the new models don't have
Speaker 1: more things. You could use the actual phone for it.
Speaker 1: It makes perfect sense. It's no, it's not the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's the same. It's the same. Lebron is more like, uh,
Speaker 1: like an old school Chevy than he is an iPhone eight. Bro.
Speaker 1: He is definitely got an old Yes he is, because
Speaker 1: sometimes the motherfucker's don't still work. Yes, Frank, the key
Speaker 1: in that bitch and you're like, it just parts hard
Speaker 1: to find. It's Chevy. It's not an old school Chevy
Speaker 1: because you can always make I got old school Chevies
Speaker 1: that run great right now. You can always fix them
Speaker 1: and they run great. But like technology, no it's not,
Speaker 1: it's over. Eventually you cannot download the radio technology. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hell yess a radio on my joint. They got radio.
Speaker 1: That's my whole point. Yeah, my rider worked with my phone.
Speaker 1: My Chevy work with my phone. Blue too, over got
Speaker 1: the new HAIRPI over. Lebron James is like a phone
Speaker 1: like basketball players are like technology, Like eventually it's just over.
Speaker 1: There's no updating. You can't put the new ls in there. Lebron, though,
Speaker 1: there's no but but but the difference between Lebron and
Speaker 1: the iPhone eight is like there is no better version
Speaker 1: of Lebron than Lebron. Of course, the is over version
Speaker 1: of Steph Curry. That's Steph Curry. But when the old
Speaker 1: model of n over, he's not the old he's not
Speaker 1: the old model. The new models of the new model
Speaker 1: is not as is the old model. Lebron is still Lebron. No,
Speaker 1: he's not none of these. Lebron shot the board twenty
Speaker 1: two times a game. Last year we won thirty five games.
Speaker 1: He played fourty minute But but I don't like that though,
Speaker 1: because that's that's kind of hypocritically, because you're the main
Speaker 1: one in let to talk about it's a team game.
Speaker 1: He was out that playing with G leaguers. He was
Speaker 1: played after was played. Russell Westbrood played sixty eight games.
Speaker 1: That's an m v P and and they had a
Speaker 1: rookie from Alabama starting. They had three Hall of famers starting,
Speaker 1: had three Hall of famers starting. Actually, actually, you you
Speaker 1: have the right thinking, wrong person. Russell Westbrook is who
Speaker 1: you're thinking about. Russell Westbrook didn't even play as many
Speaker 1: minutes as Lebron James. You missed my point. Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: is who you're thinking about. Because all those cards in
Speaker 1: the league I've caught up to Russell Westbrook. They're now
Speaker 1: bat than him, they're smarter than him. They can go
Speaker 1: out and get and give you ten rebounds the game
Speaker 1: they wanted to intend, assist if they want, if they
Speaker 1: really wanted to, could do that. How many guys Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook when last year tell me that can't get you?
Speaker 1: No ten every No, he can't get, No, he can't, can't, No,
Speaker 1: he can he cannot, No, he can't heed. He gonna
Speaker 1: want to have a real question that he gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Remember I said he's not gonna have a real question
Speaker 1: is to hit me up when he retired. I don't
Speaker 1: think it took. It took Russe until he was in
Speaker 1: like his a fear to do that. Though, Let's be realistic,
Speaker 1: like Russell Westbrook is an outdated model of Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 1: There's no one else James in the NBA. Nobody is
Speaker 1: lebron noo is over Russell ten years to run the
Speaker 1: rest of the players off all of his rosters so
Speaker 1: that he can demand the ball for forty seven and
Speaker 1: a half minutes a game. Exactly, how can you play
Speaker 1: with the like? This is my point, and I don't
Speaker 1: know how did Lebron's media machine get so good at this?
Speaker 1: But y'all will blame everybody, like, how is this consist?
Speaker 1: I didn't blame you can hear me blame Russ. I
Speaker 1: just said, you're an example of calling Lebron and the
Speaker 1: iPhone ate your iPhone, which you need to get rid of.
Speaker 1: It is wrong. Russell Westbrook is the iPhone you need
Speaker 1: to get rid of. Russell Westbrook is a forty seven
Speaker 1: million dollar iPhone. And don't wrong. I love Russ. There's
Speaker 1: no disrespect to us. Russ is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: players of all time. He shouldn't be in this for
Speaker 1: the past. No, no, he is. He should be. Russ
Speaker 1: is one of the most exhilarated basketball players to ever watch,
Speaker 1: but he's also one of the most painful basketball players
Speaker 1: to ever watch, because he doesn't slow down, and even
Speaker 1: as he's gotten older, he still plays as fast as
Speaker 1: he did when he was twenty two, and he ain't relaxed.
Speaker 1: I disagree with that, though, because he can stand around
Speaker 1: the rim and get rebounds, he can pass the ball
Speaker 1: in the pick and roll and get assists. But if
Speaker 1: he's not making smart basketball players, he's taken away from
Speaker 1: you and if he's not making threes shooting an all
Speaker 1: time NBA works from three point percentage, then yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 1: Lebron is just know guy, that's a better version of
Speaker 1: Lebron than Lebron is better version of Janice is a
Speaker 1: better version of Lebron. Let me ask your question, how
Speaker 1: do you blame the person with the highest so so
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook who has the highest usage rate on the
Speaker 1: Lakers team, it's Lebron who shoots the most shot on
Speaker 1: the Lakers team. That that has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 1: Who shoots this the most shot on the Lakers team?
Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with anything. Just the question.
Speaker 1: It's go ahead continued, Oh plays the most minutes on
Speaker 1: the Lakers team. Okay, go ahead continue. It's literally him,
Speaker 1: He's the nucleus of the universe. There's never First off,
Speaker 1: he won more games with players nowhere near as good
Speaker 1: as Russell Westbrooks. He won as he won more games
Speaker 1: with more Williams, who is not as good as Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook now or ever in life. That did happen. But
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like he's a better player, but you
Speaker 1: can't win order. It's not you're not going to win
Speaker 1: with Russell Westbrook. You're not going to win with Lebron
Speaker 1: James any longer. That part of the game. There, there, there, there,
Speaker 1: There are two things. Lebron has probably seen his best
Speaker 1: not probably Lebron has seen his best days. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Lebron can be the focal point on the
Speaker 1: champions now. I don't know. I don't know. Lebron cannot
Speaker 1: be the focal point of championship team anymore. Also, also, also,
Speaker 1: they can't win with Russell Westbrook playing the way that
Speaker 1: they've been playing with Russell Westbrook. I don't think the
Speaker 1: team hold on. I don't think as bad as the
Speaker 1: team was, but the way they was playing the game
Speaker 1: of basketball is what made the team bad. As bad
Speaker 1: as it was, I didn't think Russell would be like, Look,
Speaker 1: I didn't think they were gonna win a championship. I
Speaker 1: thought they would be a playoff team, you know, a
Speaker 1: good team, maybe you know the second round be okay.
Speaker 1: But when I saw Russell Westbrook in the corner all year,
Speaker 1: what you want him to do just before teen years?
Speaker 1: I don't Russell. Russell Westbrook is the least winnable All
Speaker 1: Star point guard in the history of this league period talking.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not name an All Star point guard
Speaker 1: that is harder to win around in the history of
Speaker 1: this league than Russell Westbrook. Every other one except Russell
Speaker 1: west Real Brandon, everybody with me, everybody naming naming every
Speaker 1: point every all star point guard, step Far, very step Far,
Speaker 1: mar Bury, Steve Francis. We can keep going. Come down
Speaker 1: on your mic, a little come down on your mic
Speaker 1: a little bit, ste Not not everybody's pet Pete Peas, Mike, Superlie,
Speaker 1: hot So Westboden. It's harder year and the culture of
Speaker 1: the year in order to get to the finals with
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. The Thunder went to the finals, okay, in
Speaker 1: the carter finals, I think in the conference from Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook is one of the most successful point guards in
Speaker 1: this in the history of the league. This is just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: The problem is when you don't allow him to be
Speaker 1: the one thing in the NBA he's an all time
Speaker 1: grade at It's simple, it's not deep. He took a
Speaker 1: team last year to the playoffs. This year he's not
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So you're gonna blame the second guy
Speaker 1: with the highest usage rate on the team. Second minutes
Speaker 1: the second most shots on the team by far. You're
Speaker 1: gonna blame Anthony Davis. Technically a Davis average thirty five minutes. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna blame. So you're gonna play the third guy
Speaker 1: with the third amount of minutes. And this is what
Speaker 1: kills me. People talked about injuries for us last season, right,
Speaker 1: Katie played less games in lebron Kyrie played less games,
Speaker 1: and Anthony Davis, yet the Nets were in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: What we like to do here in laker Land ever
Speaker 1: since the arrival of Your Highness is we're like, we're
Speaker 1: gonna blame the third guy. We're gonna blame the fourth guy.
Speaker 1: We're gonna blame the fifth guy. We're gonna blame the
Speaker 1: fifth guys. We're not gonna blame the two guys we're
Speaker 1: giving eighty million dollars to. When in the history of
Speaker 1: basketball has that ever, to not make the playoffs, to
Speaker 1: not make a plan. It's really Malik's fault. It's really
Speaker 1: the fact Kendrick Nunn is hurt. It's really Austin Reid
Speaker 1: thought we didn't make a play in. It's really injuries fault.
Speaker 1: We didn't make a play in. It's really Russell. We
Speaker 1: didn't make a play in play, it's over. Time, it's over,
Speaker 1: it's over. It's oh and it's okay, that's over. But
Speaker 1: we have to stop doing the same thing we have
Speaker 1: done for this man's whole career. We have to stop.
Speaker 1: We all know, we all have we all know the
Speaker 1: King compromises talent. We notice we all have agreed on
Speaker 1: multiple different platforms that literally he compromised Antoine Jamison his
Speaker 1: lack of perimeter skills as a scorer, right, his he
Speaker 1: has to go to the cup or he's this really
Speaker 1: inefficient three point shooter. Inefficient for a perimeter guard. Right.
Speaker 1: You have to think the kind of guards that's winning
Speaker 1: with that is Steph Curry. That's the only point guard
Speaker 1: that's winning with that. Chris Paul is not winning with that.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry the only point guard that has has the
Speaker 1: focal point of offense that's winning. And it just happened
Speaker 1: to be that he time to shoot fifty from three,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. So again we're having simple conversations, yet
Speaker 1: we constantly keep brushing the blame for every other player.
Speaker 1: It went from Lebron carries players too. It's everybody else fault.
Speaker 1: You're not making a play in. He played more minutes,
Speaker 1: score more points, took more shots at highest use in rates,
Speaker 1: and we're losing games. It's nobody else's fault but Lebron James.
Speaker 1: It's not injuries. Because the Nets made the play in,
Speaker 1: they won more games. We want to blame Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: because we're compromising him. We're saying, hey, don't be a
Speaker 1: point guard on this team, Russell, because we have Lebron James,
Speaker 1: and Lebron James is one of the best point guards
Speaker 1: in the history, which is ridiculous. He's never been a
Speaker 1: point guard. He's always been a playmaking small forward that
Speaker 1: plays from the top of the perimeter. But when you
Speaker 1: slow down, simple, when you slow down, you lose a step.
Speaker 1: When you are designated, when they're when the defense because
Speaker 1: in front of you and you're shooting more threes than
Speaker 1: you ever having your career. You're about eight to nine,
Speaker 1: you're thirty four three point shooter. Your offense is inefficient
Speaker 1: and it lacks consistency. Not to mention, if you take
Speaker 1: the best probably one of the better point Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: over the last fifteen years is probably Russell Westbrook is
Speaker 1: a top five point guard. In his last Now, now
Speaker 1: you're about to lie. Mean, yeah, I'm talking yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously Russell's top five all time. Like, what are we
Speaker 1: talking about? No, No, he's not. No, yes, yes, you
Speaker 1: can't name five point guards with better arrestumes depends on
Speaker 1: what you want. Do you want to win? You want
Speaker 1: to you can't. You know you're a liar. That's not lying.
Speaker 1: Now now you're lying, you're telling a lie. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about Magic Johnson and you know good and guy
Speaker 1: didn't want too Magic Johnson. Somebody names name name somebody
Speaker 1: else than Steph Curry and Magic Johnson, Oscar Robinson. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Cool. Now keep going, mob Couzy,
Speaker 1: they're the same guy. What's goal? Do you want to win?
Speaker 1: Do you want to win? Or do you want stats?
Speaker 1: That's the question. I'll give you Couzy even though he's
Speaker 1: not on my list. But I got three, you got four?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, keep going, Zeke, and I want to say
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas is a far better point guard than No
Speaker 1: he is not. No, he is not. Do you want
Speaker 1: to win or do you want stats? With the greatest
Speaker 1: defensive player to ever play the game of basketball? True,
Speaker 1: the only time that that Russell was ever any good,
Speaker 1: was like one of the most loaded rosters of his
Speaker 1: error with Harden us at six, with third, third or
Speaker 1: fourth behind behind. That's the same thing you can say
Speaker 1: about Isaiah Thomas. What not that Thomas couldn't win without
Speaker 1: without Dennis Rodman. What are you saying? You're talking about
Speaker 1: the Katie argument for Russ. Russ couldn't win with Katie
Speaker 1: and Harden and everybody else on the right was a
Speaker 1: loaded roster. He couldn't win with that already had the
Speaker 1: worst series at all of them in whatever get filed
Speaker 1: by Lebron James at the end, they were loaded for
Speaker 1: several years. They were loaded for several years, and he
Speaker 1: got nothing accomplished. So let's not like I don't like
Speaker 1: that phrase saying he got nothing to accomplished when Chris
Speaker 1: Paul only been the one finals in his entire career
Speaker 1: and never win the m v P. But Christ Paul's
Speaker 1: not great all time? I agree with guards greater than
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. Okay, you got so, I'll give you z
Speaker 1: that's four for me. Keep going, Chris Paul is it's
Speaker 1: about ten guys better Russell west Lying, Jon Stockton is
Speaker 1: better than Russell Westbrook. He was the first team All
Speaker 1: NBA are all all in all defense. He went to
Speaker 1: two finals. He's a he's gonna win with him nothing.
Speaker 1: Gary Payton, he went to two finals. That's more than
Speaker 1: Westbrook ever did. Hold up, hold up, hold up, ja
Speaker 1: Z Kidd, Steve mash Yes, okay, j Z Kid, he's
Speaker 1: about team gon Okay, you gott you gotta look at
Speaker 1: regardless of Russell, regardless when you say that, right, because
Speaker 1: you're looking at the one first point guard play the
Speaker 1: game basketball. Ever, here's for sure a top twenty point
Speaker 1: guard of all time. And it's been hundreds of point
Speaker 1: guards in this league. He's for sure in the top
Speaker 1: top five. No, he's not. I wouldn't go that point.
Speaker 1: But if you know what, if you want to get
Speaker 1: to hold me that much credit, cool, I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: fight you. The point I'm saving he is tame. How
Speaker 1: much do you listen? It takes Lebron James playing with
Speaker 1: Lebron James going to be a parody. You turned him
Speaker 1: into a parody. I'm not mad at that. So then
Speaker 1: can we actually get to the point of where can
Speaker 1: we actually get to the point of where the Lakers
Speaker 1: are and why they are there. It's the nucleus. You
Speaker 1: have to alter the nucleus. Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna ask this to Peter actually because Peter
Speaker 1: you follow basketball, right, Not really, but I'm familiar enough. Well, basically,
Speaker 1: once Frank Vogel got fired, they were all doing their
Speaker 1: exit conferences and stuff, and Russ basically was like, when
Speaker 1: I first got signed to the Lakers, Basically, I think
Speaker 1: he said, he brought like um, like Frank Vogel, like
Speaker 1: a bottle of like wine or something like that. It's
Speaker 1: like kind of like a you know, like you know
Speaker 1: I'm on the team now, It's like a gift, and
Speaker 1: gave it to him. And basically he said, like ever
Speaker 1: since like the first day, in the first interaction he
Speaker 1: had with Frank Vogel, Frank never liked him, so even offensively.
Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily it was Lebron that basically Frank never
Speaker 1: wanted to like put him in the spots he wanted
Speaker 1: to be in. So you can go to the corner. No,
Speaker 1: you don't do what I'm saying, So you don't hold
Speaker 1: So this is what I'm saying. So we come out
Speaker 1: next year we see a completely different team now that
Speaker 1: they've got a different coach that actually don't try to
Speaker 1: give Russell the vault and more position to succeed. I don't.
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's kind of hard for me
Speaker 1: to judge. Last year, if the coach didn't like the
Speaker 1: man and Lebron traded for the man Russell, well, here's
Speaker 1: the here's the issue with the Lectors. Hey, Russell's had
Speaker 1: seemingly beefs with like most of his coaches, but like
Speaker 1: the problem with the Lakers is the same thing as
Speaker 1: the problem with Lebron James. Career. Teams want him on
Speaker 1: the roster so bad that they will let him play
Speaker 1: GM and he's not very good at it, so he
Speaker 1: puts together these rosters of guys he thinks are good
Speaker 1: or that he likes or he wants to hang out
Speaker 1: with or whatever the hell else. It's been like that
Speaker 1: since forever, and the teams don't have on the court chemistry,
Speaker 1: and then you try to analyze what's going on on
Speaker 1: the court, it makes no difference. I mean, any idiot
Speaker 1: can look back and go boy spacing wise, how exactly
Speaker 1: is Russell Westbrook style and Lebron James style gonna successfully
Speaker 1: coaches in the same basketball court. It's impossible. It's an
Speaker 1: idiotic proposition. It can work. He just Lebron can't play
Speaker 1: the way. He can't play the way he's one of
Speaker 1: the two of them. Is gonna have to become a
Speaker 1: different human being for it to work. And then it
Speaker 1: can work. You traded for the man Lebron you want
Speaker 1: nobody Lebron. Russ can become nobody different like Lebron. Neither
Speaker 1: of them two guys at this point are gonna become
Speaker 1: anything different enough. I think, I know, I think Lebron
Speaker 1: him do. It is great enough to shape shift into
Speaker 1: at least two to three different people. Russell Westbrook can
Speaker 1: play again, smaller forward. He ain't a power forward. You
Speaker 1: don't got to shape shift with it. You can't make
Speaker 1: Russell grow from six three to sixteen. You he's not
Speaker 1: a power not power forward. You're not a stretch for.
Speaker 1: You can't make a six three guy be that right?
Speaker 1: And then he's not a good three point You're a
Speaker 1: better three point shooter. You're six ten, you rebound better.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is it obvious? But again, we talked
Speaker 1: about this. He could actually probably that's almost the same
Speaker 1: amount of points. It's just it has to look different,
Speaker 1: has to come from different areas. He also probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: get hurt as much if he wasn't playing feet away
Speaker 1: from the basket, because it allows for you to just
Speaker 1: it allows for more things to happen. I thought what
Speaker 1: I thought would happen when Russell Westbrook game here, I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, he's gonna take some pressure off Lebron.
Speaker 1: He'll you know that rust the ball at Russ drew
Speaker 1: her dab it will help you know, um a d out,
Speaker 1: It will help Braun out. I didn't think that they
Speaker 1: that that, you know, they would win the championship. But
Speaker 1: I don't think last season had to look the way
Speaker 1: it looked. Even with Russ, he didn't really play as
Speaker 1: bad as you think he can. It was it could have.
Speaker 1: You could have let Rusty Russell cut. No, you have
Speaker 1: to conceeed Pete like, that's the thing, right, And this
Speaker 1: is what Patty saying. We had this conversation before last season,
Speaker 1: and we talked about it. I said, look, we talked
Speaker 1: about it on Hoops and Bruis. Matter of fact, make
Speaker 1: sure when y'all listen once y'all listening to podcast I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make sure Tom and Path gonna put up the
Speaker 1: hoops and Bruce pot where we talked about how I
Speaker 1: talked about how bad the Lakers will be because it
Speaker 1: was no way possible Lebron would actually start playing power
Speaker 1: forward because he's sixteen. But even though we should, right,
Speaker 1: I actually predicted he would actually struggle with injuries because
Speaker 1: it's time, right you. In year nineteen, I actually predicted
Speaker 1: he would play too many minutes for it to work out.
Speaker 1: In year twenty, like, historically he needs to play less minutes.
Speaker 1: I need to be around twenty eight minutes a game.
Speaker 1: That's why he would be at twenty two points. But
Speaker 1: he'd be a more efficient twenty two points. He have
Speaker 1: more rebounds, we'd be controlling more possessions. But for this
Speaker 1: to work, you have to get the most out of
Speaker 1: Russell west Brook. Russell Westbrook can carry your offense. Historically
Speaker 1: in the NBA, he's carried offenses. He's still a lot
Speaker 1: closer to the prime of his career than Lebron James.
Speaker 1: He's still a lot closer to the peak of his
Speaker 1: power than Lebron James. So at this point you let
Speaker 1: him carry the offense because he could carry your other
Speaker 1: guys and get buckets, but floor positioning matters. Like there's
Speaker 1: this weird thing and I appreciate this about Pete to
Speaker 1: understand spacing in geometry and this conversation. People feel like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know Hooper, you can who from anywhere. Kareem couldn't
Speaker 1: shoot the three point hook shot. It just wasn't like
Speaker 1: that Tim Duncan can play nineteen ft away from the cup.
Speaker 1: It's just not like that. The game is built right, rhythm,
Speaker 1: comfortable usage. How are you using the floor the way
Speaker 1: Lebron has been doing, you know, geometrically for years and
Speaker 1: ship of driving the ball because he can't stop in
Speaker 1: the midrange and pull up issue the jumper right. So
Speaker 1: you always have to keep everybody away. This year we're
Speaker 1: going to to a phase. I've had to talk to people.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, we're not getting rid of Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 1: We need that fifty million dollars back at the end
Speaker 1: of the season. We need that money. Russell Westbrook contract
Speaker 1: is up at forty seven million. Lebron James contract is
Speaker 1: up at forty four million. That's ninety one million. Kendrick
Speaker 1: Nuns contract, that's five million he got one more, that's
Speaker 1: ninety six million. We would have a hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: to go back in and reach spooler lineup where we
Speaker 1: have Anthony Davis that we need to even restrict his
Speaker 1: minutes to keep him at a suitable minute. Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: is the perfect person for the Lakers success right now,
Speaker 1: because why you need to play Lebron James for twenty
Speaker 1: eight minutes, Why you need to play Anthony Davis for
Speaker 1: eight minutes to keep them fresh for the for the postseason.
Speaker 1: You have a workhorse, a guy who doesn't get injured.
Speaker 1: I'll just laugh. We're took my trade for Kyrie. We
Speaker 1: have one guy who literally has who literally has propelled
Speaker 1: offenses with no great other offensive players into the post season,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get rid of him to get somebody
Speaker 1: who doesn't push people into the postseason, somebody who has
Speaker 1: been injured. So you have two injury plunge guys. Lebron
Speaker 1: James at this point in his career as a Laker,
Speaker 1: he played fifty some games. The first time, he played
Speaker 1: sixty games, and second season because we got COVID, he
Speaker 1: played fifty games, and third season and he played fifty
Speaker 1: games this season, fifties, sixties, fifty fifties. It's not rocket science.
Speaker 1: It's not that deep. Russell Westbrook is a workhorse. He
Speaker 1: played as many games as they would let him play.
Speaker 1: Why would you get rid of the load? So you
Speaker 1: need a hundred million because you don't got a ton
Speaker 1: of picks because you didn't pretty much salvage the offense
Speaker 1: to try to win. Now, so the two guys who
Speaker 1: you need to depend on the postseason, you're gonna depend
Speaker 1: on him in the regular season. One guy is older
Speaker 1: than he's probably like great, like Basketball Miles, he's great
Speaker 1: grandfather basket bow mars, right, and then you got Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis right. You you spreading him out, so he's rolling
Speaker 1: to the cup twenty two ft away when he's been
Speaker 1: prone to injuries, his limbs are long. This is simple math,
Speaker 1: Like what are we doing? Like this is what's killing
Speaker 1: me about the Lakers. There's a delusion that's like, well,
Speaker 1: Lebron bro it's over. He couldnot. Lebron James couldnot be
Speaker 1: the second best player on the team. If you put
Speaker 1: Lebron James on the same team with with the Bucks
Speaker 1: and you traded Chris Middleton, they would be less effective
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work. If you put Lebron James on
Speaker 1: the Celtics team, they would be less effective right now
Speaker 1: because what you would need to demand out of him
Speaker 1: where he's that defensively, he's far removed from there, and offensively,
Speaker 1: it takes too much for him to get it. Look,
Speaker 1: it takes minutes. He's sitting at the top of the
Speaker 1: kid dribbling and taking two steps back. So not only
Speaker 1: are you twenty three ft away at the three point line,
Speaker 1: you took four more feedback to try to get a
Speaker 1: running start to get to the cup. You've been in
Speaker 1: the NBA. Man, you got like he's like a core.
Speaker 1: He's a million miles the second generation injured. The more
Speaker 1: mileage Pete, it takes longer than hell. You know Pete
Speaker 1: as a runner. You ran, man when you used to
Speaker 1: get hurt when you was a young stuff. Man, you're
Speaker 1: here up in the day, you're gonna broke your Leg'll
Speaker 1: back out here next week. Lebron get a cut toe now,
Speaker 1: he's not back tomorrow. If it's toe, Neil fall off,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh my god, it's gonna take us. And
Speaker 1: they always lied to you, like man, Lebron will be
Speaker 1: back in two weeks and it beats two thousand weeks.
Speaker 1: They don't want people to not buy tickets for the
Speaker 1: next weeks of games. What the Lakers need to do
Speaker 1: is simple. The Lakers need somebody. We need to limit
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis's minutes this year. We need to limit Lebron
Speaker 1: James minute this year. We need to let Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: be Russell Westbrook. It's not more important to let Lebron
Speaker 1: James be Lebron James than it is to let Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook be Russell Westbrook. Because if you're not letting Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook be Russell Westbrook, is you're getting a half of
Speaker 1: a player, then who is he? He can do one thing.
Speaker 1: Lebron James is the greatest combo player in the history.
Speaker 1: To get the two guys then need to not overlap
Speaker 1: at the same time. They played twenty four minutes a
Speaker 1: game each opposite one another, and try to survive the
Speaker 1: regular season and then the playoffs. Just be happy you
Speaker 1: made the playoffs because it's not gonna work well. The
Speaker 1: thing is, if you get them to the playoffs, then
Speaker 1: the experience can matter, but you also have to be fresh,
Speaker 1: so you can't be playing Ron James played forty minutes.
Speaker 1: Who the what do you think you're doing? How many
Speaker 1: years minutes? Koreine and called him alone. Play that, you
Speaker 1: know what starts to happen to your body. At this point,
Speaker 1: it's becomes no what he wants because no one wants
Speaker 1: to leave the guy. He refuses to have leadership over
Speaker 1: his head, and nobody wants to intervene and be the
Speaker 1: adult in the room that he's sitting. A fair Kareem
Speaker 1: did not play over uh thirty seven minutes a game
Speaker 1: his career after the age of thirty three, but he
Speaker 1: did pretty much played minutes until he was thirty nine,
Speaker 1: and then he started playing two. That's where Lebron was
Speaker 1: that a season ago. He should have been playing at eight.
Speaker 1: Why are we playing Lebron jack because he's because he's
Speaker 1: a narcissist and he's obsessed with fucking caring all the
Speaker 1: fucking it is. It's it's the story of his life.
Speaker 1: Look at the man. All the problems that happened with
Speaker 1: Lebron's teams and the Lakers are problems that occur before
Speaker 1: the tip off of the first game that are irreportable
Speaker 1: once the tip off happens. It's the truth to that.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the narcissist. I just think you
Speaker 1: don't know about the narcissism. No, I don't know. He
Speaker 1: had a whole show to tell us he was gonna
Speaker 1: take his talents. Yeah. Yeah, it is weird. And he
Speaker 1: is the he is the ancillary career killer. I mean
Speaker 1: he he's basically turned he's he's he's like turned uh
Speaker 1: Davis into into love now. I mean, he was the
Speaker 1: best player in the league and then he goes with
Speaker 1: Lebraun and now was he He's a forgettable guy. He's
Speaker 1: that guy used to have an eyebrower, like no care.
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis was one of the most sought after free
Speaker 1: agents in basketball, even with injuries like bro Niggas right,
Speaker 1: like the way people are talking about Anthony Davids right,
Speaker 1: Like they don't think Anthony Davis is better than Luca Done.
Speaker 1: I don't know why people play with him. Still, He's
Speaker 1: not better than Luca Dodge's You need to be stopped. Ridiculous.
Speaker 1: He was like a damn neu No no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no hardaway post, like doing the Kyrie side. I heard
Speaker 1: people say they would trade Kyrie Irvan. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: they would trade a D for Kyrie Irvin. What are
Speaker 1: you doing, Luca, Because that's because they're still holding on
Speaker 1: What are you doing? That's because they're still holding on
Speaker 1: to the Calvs glory days. That's like right now they
Speaker 1: have to get into a fighting, like I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: Larry Holmes to fight you right now. It's like, Bro,
Speaker 1: It's like Larry Homes will be Tyson Fury brother. It
Speaker 1: is different. Things have changed, and they're holding onto the cast.
Speaker 1: Even that two thousand sixteen cast was Lebron's twilight. Like
Speaker 1: we got lucky in two thousand twenty, we wanted right,
Speaker 1: but we had a team full of vets man. Them
Speaker 1: dudes probably had a thousand years of experience together, and
Speaker 1: then we got We only played sixty regular season games
Speaker 1: and we got a three month break going into the
Speaker 1: postseason and no travel in the postseason either, which makes
Speaker 1: a difference at that also injuries up traveling. So like
Speaker 1: it was, I don't want to say cater to our
Speaker 1: strength because obviously a worldwide pandemic with a killer like
Speaker 1: COVID has nothing to do with like God wanting the
Speaker 1: Lakers to we I don't think Kobe is that powerful
Speaker 1: with heaven. You know, I don't think he's like he
Speaker 1: got but they wouldn't have won it without COVID I'll
Speaker 1: say that, yes, damn right no, And if you really
Speaker 1: think about it, you're seeing we wouldn't have because if
Speaker 1: you look at the first year the following year, you're
Speaker 1: seeing how time ages own bodies. Right, So we got
Speaker 1: something special even when Lebron out of his twilight. You know,
Speaker 1: the two sixteen was the powers of Lebron's powers, like
Speaker 1: and we saw it. It worked out for them, you mean,
Speaker 1: but that is gone. That was year like thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Now we're in year twenty and people
Speaker 1: are still believing Lebron James. What if Lebron James bro
Speaker 1: it is? Oh, what did hell is want with y'all?
Speaker 1: This year twenty isn't then they played a million games?
Speaker 1: What do you think it's going on? How we started
Speaker 1: and how we started this pod? Like right, he's like yo,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, the Russell rest Brook played the third amount
Speaker 1: of minutes, took the third least amount of shots, third
Speaker 1: users rate, and we talk about what he did while
Speaker 1: we didn't make a plan. We were at the eleventh seed.
Speaker 1: That's when Lebron James taking twenty two shots. Highest uses
Speaker 1: right in many different starting lineups that you all have.
Speaker 1: You had like thirty five plus different starting lineups during
Speaker 1: the sea. But it was some goos like they shouldn't
Speaker 1: have just lost. Understand I understand that a lot of
Speaker 1: them didn't started laming Lebron use Russell Westbrook was out
Speaker 1: there for seventy eight of them because they was using
Speaker 1: him Rome Bro. There were so many blame the coach,
Speaker 1: They blame the time and they would have missed the playoffs.
Speaker 1: He actually took one coach in this league is gonna
Speaker 1: step in and tell Lebron James, you're gonna play this
Speaker 1: way against your will? Which coach in this league? He didn't?
Speaker 1: Comed routine Lebron hand picks coaches that will coach everyone
Speaker 1: around him to acquiesce to what he wants. Louis didn't
Speaker 1: get along at the end because he's uncoachable. Bandn't get
Speaker 1: along at the end. Why do you think the day
Speaker 1: was having panic attacks and ship? How do you think
Speaker 1: you get the job in the first place. Do you
Speaker 1: think that that that the powerful leadership in Cleveland and
Speaker 1: Lebron James is hell. I think that's why he was
Speaker 1: having panic attest. I think he's probably stressed in general,
Speaker 1: he might have been going through some health ship. I
Speaker 1: don't know dealing with Lebron James. There's a lot, bro
Speaker 1: and they was also the one person who deserves let's
Speaker 1: blaming everybody is the coach last year. He is a
Speaker 1: defensive mastermind. We did not give him defensive talent. That's
Speaker 1: all our fault. Everybody else fault, but vote vo shout
Speaker 1: out to Voge. I'm glad they freed you, brother. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry how they did it, but for sure, this is
Speaker 1: not your fault. You are a defensive mastermind, and we
Speaker 1: gave you defensive pieces. You did amazing things, fantastic things,
Speaker 1: and one day we woke up and decided we was
Speaker 1: gonna give you a bunch of offensive talent and then
Speaker 1: blame you. That's like to blame if twinkies got in
Speaker 1: front of a fat person and sat down ten twinkies.
Speaker 1: We're gonna blame hostess. We're gonna blame the fat person.
Speaker 1: This is what that person do. We know what this
Speaker 1: person is about, so let's just need to get smart.
Speaker 1: It's twinkies. He blac the leaguers. They need to bring
Speaker 1: back D'Antonio, and they need to run Lebron's knees right
Speaker 1: out of this league like they did with Kobe Brant.
Speaker 1: I like it. You know what's funny. I had an epiphany.
Speaker 1: I like D'Antonio two better than D'Antoni. That's his new name, Dantoni.
Speaker 1: They needed to get rid of Kobe. They had all
Speaker 1: that contract. How can we get rid of Kobe? We're
Speaker 1: just gonna bring in D'Antonio run his knees right on
Speaker 1: out of this right, Howard of so much slack. But
Speaker 1: that's the exact same thing in reverse. Right, you have
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant and and and and and the White Howard.
Speaker 1: You know how many all defensive first teams that he
Speaker 1: is that's probably about twenty, and you go hiring the
Speaker 1: one motherfucker who don't talk about defense and nothing. Why
Speaker 1: is Mike damn Tony coaching? Oh? The Ron artists, Cood
Speaker 1: Ryan and the White Howard. I'll tell you why this
Speaker 1: is happening. And then we blamed the white Howard and
Speaker 1: we blamed the white Howard. Were like the white you
Speaker 1: fuck you know, thewite city like couldn't feel his leg
Speaker 1: at some point that season, like that's how heard he
Speaker 1: was playing that he couldn't feel. I wonder what was
Speaker 1: wrong with his legs. I wonder what happens to everybody's leg?
Speaker 1: I wonder what's wrong with James Harden right now? I
Speaker 1: wonder what happened to Steve Nash. I wonder what happened
Speaker 1: to everybody's leg what happens to people? It's because look,
Speaker 1: the post Bus Lakers our Hollywood people, and they worry
Speaker 1: too much about entertainment and brand names. That's why they
Speaker 1: always have these old, dying stars because they know, Look, no, seriously,
Speaker 1: think about it. You right up the street from Hollywood,
Speaker 1: who's the who is still at his old fucking ass age,
Speaker 1: the biggest drawing fucking Hollywood. Tom fucking asked crews he
Speaker 1: did a billion dollars in that stupid remake movie. No
Speaker 1: one can touch the fucking guy. I don't care what
Speaker 1: anybody says. The numbers don't lie. And who's the most
Speaker 1: recognizable name in the league ten years ago? It's Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1: We gotta give him a Fortunately, he's the most recognizable name.
Speaker 1: Same with Lebron. They don't understand that actors have a
Speaker 1: little bit more longevity than ballplayers. Swear the gun the
Speaker 1: money out of me A season they took. They took
Speaker 1: a lot of money out of media. See I'm I
Speaker 1: will go see lebronze age playing a point. I took
Speaker 1: a lot of money out of be this season. Thanks
Speaker 1: for contributing. I know. I'm sorry. He's not a Laker fan,
Speaker 1: so he don't care. Bro, he don't care. Like I noticed,
Speaker 1: Lebron fans don't care that we're suffering. They're like, it's
Speaker 1: everybody else. As a Laker fan, I'm like, Bro, it's
Speaker 1: not cool. I mean, I love and I hate that
Speaker 1: list like I have. It's frustrating. It's frustrating to have
Speaker 1: these conversations. Man, it's frustrating because I want good things
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. Again, I just saw too many times
Speaker 1: last year which Lebron would be at the top of
Speaker 1: the key, he would drive and rough Westbrookers to Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook in the corner. I'm like, Yo, what do you
Speaker 1: think he's gonna do time? We're supposed to stand shooter,
Speaker 1: what is he supposed to do time? What is your
Speaker 1: is he? Derek? Look, I'll put it this way. At
Speaker 1: a certain point, as I said earlier in the game,
Speaker 1: earlier and not in the game, but in the in
Speaker 1: the game that is this podcast. When you when you're
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook and you're still playing at a hundred and
Speaker 1: you're not twenty two years old anymore, you gotta adjust,
Speaker 1: I don't care. Get your ass in a fucking gym
Speaker 1: and shoot in the corner. You getting paid forty seven
Speaker 1: million dollars a year TV who learns how to shoot?
Speaker 1: A year? If I see forty seven million dollars a
Speaker 1: year next like jay Z learning? But no, but nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody would pay. No, one would pay forty seven mills
Speaker 1: for a quarter shooter named Russell Westbrook exactly. But you
Speaker 1: gotta get why the hill did you? He does more
Speaker 1: things than that. But if you're rust and you can
Speaker 1: and you you, you allow yourself to be relegated to
Speaker 1: the corner because they don't even have to fucking guard.
Speaker 1: What's he gonna do? Duke it out with Lebron at
Speaker 1: the top of the kid. They're gonna have an m
Speaker 1: M A batch question. I got a question, what's Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook go to shot? Getting to the room? Motherfucker? Dive
Speaker 1: into the cup, the layoup Okay, outside of that, what else?
Speaker 1: The other layoup, the free throw off the shot Banks
Speaker 1: bank shot. That's a terrible fucking shot. Get another Rolls
Speaker 1: got another shot? No, why are you Brandy Rose? Got
Speaker 1: another shot? How does he make? How does this blake
Speaker 1: what I'm just saying, like, I'm not blaming us at
Speaker 1: the top of the perimeter because because he runs the franchise.
Speaker 1: That's why I want to talk about the nucleus of
Speaker 1: the Lakers first. Can we not talk about the third
Speaker 1: youse guy on the team? Yes? And what does Dames
Speaker 1: need to do anymore? He said? What does he need
Speaker 1: to do this year? Let's start with the nucleus. The
Speaker 1: main thing if I'm Lebron, that I need to be
Speaker 1: working on this year is my three is my three
Speaker 1: point corner shot? Right me? Trying to take the ball
Speaker 1: and post up? Yes, he has to. If I'm Darvin Hamm, bro,
Speaker 1: you gotta get in the corner sometime, big fella, you
Speaker 1: think you think Darvin Hamm is like for real? You
Speaker 1: think what are you talking about? This? The whole argument?
Speaker 1: Get what you talk? Okay, yes, I understand that. But
Speaker 1: if you're a rush you still have to be you
Speaker 1: still have to make shots ge but like, bro, like,
Speaker 1: how does that exactly what I said earlier? I said,
Speaker 1: one of these two guys the NBA is shooting is
Speaker 1: terribly from the corner, as Russell Westbrook you can't name.
Speaker 1: How does that make sense? He's been that way to career,
Speaker 1: so he has to get better and address otherwise. You're
Speaker 1: so he is eight t p stop stop stop, lay
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on for as bad as you talk
Speaker 1: about Rose West last year he's still averaged eighteen eight.
Speaker 1: You know, it's only one other stop eight turned over
Speaker 1: the game. Stop stop stop stop. You know it's only
Speaker 1: one other person who did that. You know he shot
Speaker 1: the exact same he shot from the actually shot better
Speaker 1: from the field somehow the last year that he did
Speaker 1: the year before and Watchington when he averaged twenty ten
Speaker 1: and then what was his uses I'm sorry, what was
Speaker 1: his usage? Right in Washington? I think it's like five
Speaker 1: points hire So basically he would do that ship with
Speaker 1: Lebron James Anthony based on the floor just get better.
Speaker 1: Listen to what better than what I'm saying? The corner
Speaker 1: makes a three point corner shot. Basically he had to
Speaker 1: How are you that's the whole backbot what first of all,
Speaker 1: back for shoes? What point guard is ever positioned in
Speaker 1: the corner in the first place, except I know, stop?
Speaker 1: How many fucking bank shots did you see him? Clay
Speaker 1: Horn left you wearing a fan because he's shooting the
Speaker 1: place here, You're shooting the motherfucker from gee if he
Speaker 1: was way to funk off the fairway get this right time.
Speaker 1: Just want to blame Lebron when taking threes and throwing
Speaker 1: bank shots in the fucking stance. That's not Lebron j
Speaker 1: Anthony David's fault. Anything fell off to read the fucking
Speaker 1: rookie from Alabama who I never heard of before day
Speaker 1: in my life, played ten games for them and start
Speaker 1: line up. It ain't they felt rock player with a
Speaker 1: side car fell the old as Anthony. There's a very
Speaker 1: strong cage that you can say it is Lebron James's
Speaker 1: fault that Russell Westbrook has to be moved to the corner.
Speaker 1: Is everybody else? You're right? Is everybody else fault? Did
Speaker 1: you hear me blame? Did you do you me say?
Speaker 1: I said, you just literally talked about you literally talked
Speaker 1: about that. You literally talked about Nicklas. We gave one
Speaker 1: million dollars too, Yes, Wire and who you just talked about.
Speaker 1: I hear they on your roster. Who else are you
Speaker 1: gonna give If you're giving three people one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars? I am not the fucking president of
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Blame that on Lebron James and the presidents
Speaker 1: of the Lakers. Ron can definitely call Rob Lincoln say
Speaker 1: do not sign, and then that mad Rob Laker. What
Speaker 1: is that gonna matter? Who else are you gonna get
Speaker 1: for one million dollars? Look what you thought you was
Speaker 1: gonna get in this leave. This is the case that
Speaker 1: Tucker's ten million dollars. They didn't need to trade for
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. You could have kept sucking. Kyle Kuzma. You
Speaker 1: know what they needed to try because you talked about
Speaker 1: them the year before. You're ungrateful as talked about them
Speaker 1: the year before we lost in the Cows like the life.
Speaker 1: You ain't never heard me. You have account slander, Kyle Kuzman.
Speaker 1: You've heard hatty do it? You allow everybody else in
Speaker 1: the same season, Hell East slander. You are Kyle Kuzman
Speaker 1: slander everybody that's not Lebron James did not have Kyle
Speaker 1: Kuzman slander. Kyle Kuzman did his job. Then why are
Speaker 1: we talking about somebody who gave a million dollars too?
Speaker 1: Because they fucking traded for Russell Westbrook. So now the
Speaker 1: rest of the team, we weren't better without west or Westbrook.
Speaker 1: We weren't better. You weren't better. Will that could have
Speaker 1: been better? So you know what the thing that makes
Speaker 1: it consistent impossible? You know, you know who was better
Speaker 1: before he played for the Lakers, Russell Westbrook. You know
Speaker 1: what happened when he came and playing the same thing
Speaker 1: happened to Kyle Kuzman. Whenever you play with the same
Speaker 1: Kyle Coulson with the championship, playing with Lebron James and
Speaker 1: thinks that number slander for him. So what, he's still
Speaker 1: a champion, he's still not. He played well and he's
Speaker 1: not game. They had five or six or different the
Speaker 1: people look, look, look and guess what Kyle Kuzman doing
Speaker 1: the same ship he was doing when he played with
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Just a little bit more. All right, Let's
Speaker 1: not act like Kyle Kuzman was something fucking virtuoso, which
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna turn into but I was wrong.
Speaker 1: But no, get the funk out of a team is
Speaker 1: just not good. He's playing, he's gonna be. It could not.
Speaker 1: It was not a good and well constructed team. Because
Speaker 1: the news is all Bird I don't even agree with,
Speaker 1: is bad. It makes the egg bad. Once your that
Speaker 1: conclusion that the centerpiece of the Lakers is the problem,
Speaker 1: you can't look at you listen, you talk ship and
Speaker 1: you're playing Kyle Kuzmcasey p Now it's Russell Westbrook. You
Speaker 1: always you ain't realized it's the one thing that's consistent.
Speaker 1: You know where Russell Westbrook was last year. You know
Speaker 1: what Russell Westbrook was last year in the playoffs And
Speaker 1: look at Bradley bed without Russell Westbrook saying not in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know the different. You know how many
Speaker 1: games last playoffs last year? Listen, you know how many
Speaker 1: games and Wizards won last year? More games in the
Speaker 1: Lakers won this year were Russell Westbrook? All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it ain't hit you yet, the same consistency of all this.
Speaker 1: You want to give credit for the wins, You're not
Speaker 1: gonna get credit to the six dollars for making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: For Kyle Kosman, all them guys the year before and
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook coming to the team and they fucking flame
Speaker 1: it out. You're missing the point. You were blaming him
Speaker 1: that we only got to the first round. You didn't
Speaker 1: give credit to Anthony Davis for why we got there.
Speaker 1: We would have got swept or not got there. This
Speaker 1: year it's not working because you know why those gaming
Speaker 1: more than anybody you know who game to the step
Speaker 1: back Lebron James, I bet you the numbers got you
Speaker 1: confuel because you're looking at the numbers. But the problem
Speaker 1: is when you have the highest youth, it's raid on
Speaker 1: the team and you turn into Bradley Bill. Sit down
Speaker 1: and shut up, because that's all you are is Bradley Bill.
Speaker 1: You're six nine Bradley fucking Bill. You're not going anywhere anywhere.
Speaker 1: So when you pumped up and you're telling me all
Speaker 1: this joy about how is Russell Westbrook faulk the third
Speaker 1: usage rate or how he came shoot from three, you
Speaker 1: need to focus on Nikolas shoot nine threes that don't
Speaker 1: shoot the fishal that's what you need to Ron James Hayter,
Speaker 1: what what Because it's actually literally ridiculous when you think
Speaker 1: about it. He's the nucleus to win him like he's
Speaker 1: the nucleus the failures. Okay, it's over over here. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna win a championship, but if you want to over,
Speaker 1: he will. It's not the last a whole season. Any
Speaker 1: Davis plays more than fifty games, next year, the Lakers
Speaker 1: will be fine. Now you need Anthony Davis to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Why do you keep saying that bro? Who
Speaker 1: else is on the team. You've been saying his hard career,
Speaker 1: he has hunting seven million dollars in cap room, the
Speaker 1: hard cap? Who you you know what Russell Westbrook did?
Speaker 1: What last year? They won more games than we won
Speaker 1: with the Lakers? When his users right with eyes on team,
Speaker 1: we want more games. If his JUSS rate is hiding
Speaker 1: everybody else in the team right now, we'll win more games.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, it's over. Tom is over. It's
Speaker 1: over over and it's okay that as hell. When they
Speaker 1: resigned Lebron for two more years, you're also paying russillars.
Speaker 1: You also resign him on the max. They're gonna sign
Speaker 1: Lebron cruising him for two years, giving him max him lex. Look, listen,
Speaker 1: he's watch this year watch how this year play out,
Speaker 1: like watching what we had this conversation. At the end
Speaker 1: of this year, he will not get the map, and
Speaker 1: then he's gonna move and go and run. He's not
Speaker 1: going to retire later, he's not going to retire. Laker
Speaker 1: that owns not going to happen. What's the name of
Speaker 1: the Chelsea chain, the Chelsea team that the Finnway Group owned, Pete,
Speaker 1: do you know? Does he have an extension right now?
Speaker 1: Does he have an extension? No? There is no where
Speaker 1: on earth there's a group of people with money who
Speaker 1: are dumb enough to let Lebron run a franchise Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: This is the different This is the difference. I damn
Speaker 1: that bet my life on it. I'm gonna tell you're
Speaker 1: gonna die. Let me tell you Somethingbody, the Mother show
Speaker 1: Brother only value is on the court. It's not off
Speaker 1: the court. Let me tell you about the show. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you about the show. Nigga. Nobody is bigger
Speaker 1: than this program. Nigga, all right, Nobody, not Magic, not Kobe,
Speaker 1: not Cap not Shock Nobody. This ain't nothing new. Listen,
Speaker 1: let me this ain't nothing new to us. Tom. We're
Speaker 1: not the bulls. We're not the cast. We're not the heat.
Speaker 1: This is the show. This is the show we loyal
Speaker 1: to when you loyal to us, that's how we work.
Speaker 1: But we also ain't crazy. This is the show time,
Speaker 1: that's the big show. We're not paying nobody a honey
Speaker 1: million because you were something ten years ago. But they didn't.
Speaker 1: It was still a possibility of what he could be
Speaker 1: and we got a chance. What about Kobe? They did
Speaker 1: it with Kobe? That was that was the worst. We
Speaker 1: were loyal to Kobe because he gave us his whole life.
Speaker 1: That was his knee. He gave us his knee, and
Speaker 1: we gave him some money. But all the time before that, okay,
Speaker 1: so so in other words, at the end of his career,
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the max I guess he was the
Speaker 1: last two years was he wasn't even change. We decided, listen,
Speaker 1: we decided we wasn't even tripping about winning. We gave
Speaker 1: our nigga the support he desired to finish his career.
Speaker 1: We owed it to him. We don't owe this nigga nothing.
Speaker 1: And if you think by the end of this season
Speaker 1: we're gonna get this nigga the match, you got another
Speaker 1: thing coming. Jack Nigga's just crazy. We're not going to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs again. It's the same groofballs upstairs it's been.
Speaker 1: Genie is not paying him. Trust me, she's a woman.
Speaker 1: She's not gonna pay him. No more universal consequences. We
Speaker 1: want him to break her. Women are the harshest, most
Speaker 1: fucked up people on the planet Earth. Trust me saying
