1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: If you discover we're leaving, they'll go all out to

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: destroy us, so we must take every record. Now I've

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: designed this like a collapsing back. McDonald here has agreed

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: to man the wireless in order to get the Germans

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: something to listen to, and all the padres and the

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: medical staff are volunteer to stay behind as well. Now

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: the wounded who are too bad to move will replace

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: the men firing, so our defense will see this before.

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: By the time the Germans find out what's happening, we

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: should all be safely across the river.

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:50,239

00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: bit later in the week. But today's show, guys, it's

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: not an updown report, it's not in is this news.

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: This is just a straight classic. It's just a news dump.

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: We're taking a big old dump after all that humpus

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: we ate, so we have gone I don't know, ten

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: thousand leaked jerseys to critique a little bit later, and

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: negotiations are still in swing here, full swing to trying

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: to figure out when next season starts. We'll get into that,

55
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: but let's start with some juicy front office news we

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: haven't yet addressed here on the show, and that is

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: this news breaking last week that Daryl Moury is taking

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: over the Sixers basketball operations, not long after resigning from

59
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: a similar role with the Rocket. So everyone wants to

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: know what does this mean Moury coming in here, What

61
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: does it mean for Philly stars Joel Embiid and Ben

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Simmons as well as the supporting pieces around him. You know,

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: will Maury be making big moves in Philly. And I

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: will add to this Lee we now know Elton Brand

65
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: he ain't going anywhere. He just signed a massive extension,

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: so he's gonna be the GM still. So you've got Maury,

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: you got Brand, you got new coach Doc Rivers. But

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: what do you think this means Maury specifically being in

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: charge for the big guns there in Philly? Will will

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: something happen? Because Mory likes to make his trades.

71
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: Oh, he's a big game hunt at Darryl Moury. He's

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: not going there just to sit around and let this

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: thing play out for a season or two. I think

74
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: he wants to make a splash from the start. Now.

75
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna trade embiid Oh Simmons this season.

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: I don't think he would go in there and just say, Rod,

77
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna break up these two. But I do

78
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: think obviously the biggest move he wants to make is

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: to find a taker for that Al Horford contract. I

80
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: think that's the biggest one the Sixers want to try

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: to get out from underneath because Hawford simply just did

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: not fit with that team this season. And he's still

83
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: a good play He's still a very valuable player and

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: can be a contributor, but he's got a lot of

85
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: money tied up and that's going to be a little

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: bit difficult. The other big contract that's not m beat

87
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: or Simmons, of course, is Tobias Harris. I think Maury

88
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: would like to find a way to maybe get out

89
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: of that one a little bit soon. Now the Sixers,

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: another thing Maury likes to use is draft picks going forward,

91
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: so you know, try to sweeten the pip. Now, the

92
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 4: Sixers don't really have a lot of enticing assets there.

93
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: They've got one pick coming in, but another one a

94
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: first round of going out this season, and then there's

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: a few second rounders there, but of course those ones

96
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: don't usually get the big deals done. So I absolutely

97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 4: think Maury is going to go there and try to

98
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: make a trade and try to put his name on

99
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: that team as soon as he can, because that's what

100
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: he does. He's not the sort of guy who sits

101
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: around and waits for things to happen. We've seen him

102
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 4: in the past. He traded to get James Harden, He

103
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 4: signed Dwight Howard when he he was a free agent.

104
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: He basically signed Chris Bosh away from Miami Heat and

105
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: then the Heat match that deal, and of course he's

106
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: taken in Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook in the last

107
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: few years.

108
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: Now.

109
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: Not all of these moves have worked out, but that's

110
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 4: the sort of thing that Darren Moory goes for. He

111
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: wants those guys who are ready to win, potentially in

112
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 4: championship mode as soon as they get there. And I

113
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 4: think he looks at that Six's roster and he thinks

114
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: they're not too far away. You know, everyone thinks they're

115
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: not too far away. But this Sixers team, you know,

116
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: with Embiid and Simmons, they're going to stick with that

117
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 4: for now in my belief. But around the fringes, he's

118
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: going to try to bring in another big name and

119
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: if someone can take one of those big contracts, then

120
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 4: he will. Now, if things don't work out again for

121
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 4: the Sixers this season, I absolutely believe he's going to

122
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 4: move on from one of Simmons or mb at the

123
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: end of this season. That's my belief. But he won't

124
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: do that straight away. So yeah, this is an interesting

125
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: move there in Philadelphia because there's been so much up

126
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: people in their front office as well in recent years.

127
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: You go back to the Sam Hinkey era. Jerry Colangelo

128
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: came in, Brian Colangelo came in, he left in disaster.

129
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: Brett Brown kind of took over, Elton Brand then kind

130
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: of took over, and now Elton Brand you mentioned signed

131
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: an extension, but it's a little unclear exactly sort of

132
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 4: what power he has. He's the general manager. But if

133
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: I looking at what I see from the Sixers, Daryl

134
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 4: Morey is the one who's going to make those big

135
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: decisions in my belief, So.

136
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: In theory they'll work hand in hand, I guess, but

137
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: Maury would have the ultimate say yeah.

138
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: I believe that. Yes, So I think Brown has done

139
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 4: you know, he's done an okay job there, but it

140
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: sort of feels like he lost some of his power.

141
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 4: But the Sixers also didn't want to throw him, you know,

142
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: fire him. So exciting, chaotic, crazy times there in Philadelphia.

143
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: I think, though, if you're a Sixers fan, you like

144
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: having Daryl Moray on board.

145
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: Tass What do you think, man, is Marey going to

146
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: do something big here? We saw what he did when

147
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: he first came to Houston, right, He kept mcgreedy, he

148
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 3: kept YAO, and then he tried to change the pieces

149
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: around him, and Kevin Pelton reminded me most notably, I

150
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: guess he traded the number eight pick right of the

151
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: two thousand and six draft, which ended up being Rudy

152
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: Gay for Sean Battier. And there are rumors that he

153
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: might come and join them in the front office if

154
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: they can try him away from it.

155
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 5: He I thought you were going to say, Shane Baddy

156
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: is coming out of joining the boys on the floor.

157
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: He's a little shooting that analytics man, Shane Batty. They're

158
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 3: trying maybe try and get him from the heat. But yeah,

159
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: what do you think will he do something similar? Like

160
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: li Is saying that he did when he first got

161
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: in Houston said, Okay, well these are our guys, let's

162
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: see what we can do around them, and like Lee saying,

163
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: a lot easier said than done. I think moving Tobias

164
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: Harris and Al Horford that makes sense. But Ken Moury,

165
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: is he that crafty task What do you think.

166
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: He's a crafty man. He's a crafty man. I think

167
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: he's going to have to attach an asset to somebody

168
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: like Al Horford and Josh Richardson could be the guy

169
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: who goes. Josh Richardson isn't a Darryl Moury type guy

170
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 5: to surround Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid with. He's not

171
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 5: a great three point shooter, although he's a really good defender,

172
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 5: but he's on a very good contract. So I could

173
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: see Maury attaching him to an al Horford to get

174
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 5: him out of there. I think al Horford would be

175
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 5: the guy to look at that they're going to get

176
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: out of there. Because Tobias Harris could be a three

177
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 5: point shooter, he likes to get them up. You see

178
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: double digit three point shots from him from time to time,

179
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: they just don't go in. So I think they hope

180
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: that Doc Rivers, who coached him in Los Angeles, can

181
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 5: get to him and can help him reach that borderline

182
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: all star level again around Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid

183
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 5: who are going to be on the roster. Because Darryl

184
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 5: Moray likes trading for superstars, that's his goal. He even

185
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 5: tried to get Jimmy Butler last season when Philadelphia got

186
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 5: rid of him. He's not a three point shooter, so

187
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: to think Darryl Morriy's coming in, he's just going to

188
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: get three point ters, no way. But when you look

189
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: at Simmons and Embiid, if you're going to keep those

190
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 5: guys on the same team and try and get Doc

191
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 5: to get the most out of Joel Embiid, you definitely

192
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: have to surround them with shooters. So I think that's

193
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: going to be Morey's number one job. And Moore is

194
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 5: definitely going to be the decision maker. They didn't bring

195
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 5: him in to work side by side with Elton Brand.

196
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 5: Elton Brand hasn't made the best of moves. He is

197
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: going to be the communicator, I'm sure with a lot

198
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: of agents and players you have now that player side

199
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: with Elton Brand. But Darryl Mory's going to be the

200
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 5: executive Thatlton Brand reports to, and hopefully for the Sixers,

201
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 5: it's going to be a lot clearer. The thing when

202
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 5: you call another team, you want to know who you're

203
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 5: talking to, and you want to know who the decision

204
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 5: maker is. And apparently Elton Brand was getting a lot

205
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: of help from Alex Rucker and other guys. According to

206
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 5: Derek Bonder of The Athletic, there was just way too

207
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 5: many voices in there, and so Moury should be the

208
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: guy who tries to acquire stars, and that's that's the

209
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 5: main goal, get some stars in there. The more stars

210
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: the better. I think that's what what Darryl Mory's looking for.

211
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 5: And you've got to and you've got Doc Rivers and

212
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 5: I think people people think, why why would they get

213
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 5: a coach before their front office decision maker. Well, I

214
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 5: think him and Doc should work well together. They do

215
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 5: have a history in the past. They were in Boston's

216
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 5: organization once upon a time. At the same time, they

217
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: like each other. I don't think they would have brought

218
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 5: in Darryl Moury if they didn't think he could work

219
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 5: with Doc. And here we go. I think I think

220
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 5: it's Horford. And if I'm another roster and I'm thinking, oh,

221
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 5: Horford would be nice on the team, I'm gonna need

222
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 5: something else And I think Josh Richardson might be the

223
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: guy to make that happen.

224
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: Trey, what do you think? I mean? Tas is right.

225
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: We've seen Morey want to get stars. The problem is

226
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 3: he usually gets to two and you can't find the

227
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: third one. Well, he's got two Simmons in ebid. Is

228
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: there a move here that you could see to try

229
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: and grab a third one or does he care about

230
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: three pointers?

231
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: Mo and move.

232
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 6: Well, we just saw a team win the NBA Championship

233
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 6: with only two stars in today's league, maybe that's all

234
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 6: you need. You don't got to go star hunting when

235
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 6: you've got two All Stars on your team. So yeah,

236
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 6: they're gonna tinker around the edges with Embiid and Simmons

237
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 6: staying there. I think it's kind of lost on a

238
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 6: lot of people with the analytics movement that the number

239
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 6: one best shot in analytics is a dunk. You got

240
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 6: two guys who can score inside quite a bit. That's

241
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 6: a good place to start with Simmons in a beid. Now,

242
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 6: you just got to figure out the pieces, and that's

243
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 6: a place where Darryl Moury has He sort of thrived

244
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 6: a little bit finding guys that have been cast off.

245
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 6: But that was also bringing him in to a Mike

246
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 6: D'Antoni system where he just says, hey, man, I don't

247
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 6: care what you do. If you're open, shoot a three.

248
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 6: If you're not open, still shoot a three. There are

249
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 6: ways to get those sort of performances out of lesser

250
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 6: known players, but you have to have a coach who's

251
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 6: willing to live with the mistakes. Is Doc River is

252
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 6: going to be as willing to live with the mistakes

253
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 6: as Mike D'Antoni. I don't know if that's necessarily the case,

254
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 6: but I think we're going to see a pretty similar

255
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 6: Sixers team coming back. I'm sure they would like to

256
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 6: trade Horford and Harris, but there's a reason they're tough

257
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 6: to trade. They got humongous deals and they're underperforming them.

258
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 6: I think a key would be telling Tobias Harris just

259
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 6: shoot threes. None of this pump fake and take an

260
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: eighteen footer. A third of the sixer shots came from

261
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 6: the mid range, and that's just not going to be

262
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 6: the case. When they're playing underneath a Darryl Mourray system,

263
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 6: the threes are going to be more important. And maybe

264
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 6: it just comes from telling the players there, you're wasting

265
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 6: your time taking long twos. Shoot the three. It's all

266
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 6: tough learning process. We saw it with Mellow right where

267
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 6: he would catch the ball, he would pump ake, and

268
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 6: he would end up taking it too, and would be

269
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 6: a huge laugh on Sports Center because the Rockets actually

270
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 6: let somebody take it too.

271
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna change. There are ways to change.

272
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 6: This and Daryl Morey has always said, if you've got

273
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 6: a five percent chance, you need to go all in

274
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 6: for it. You've got two stars in their prime right

275
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 6: now and Embiid in Simmons. You need to figure out

276
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 6: innovative ways to build around them because they're both sort

277
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 6: of unusual players. Embiad is a throwback to the nineties.

278
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 6: Simmons is a guy that we haven't really seen before

279
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 6: who doesn't want to take threes, can get to the rim,

280
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 6: but does generate threes for other people.

281
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: There is a lot of talent.

282
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 6: In Philadelphia, it's just odd fits. But I would rather

283
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 6: see Simmons and Embiid both stick around. That's a great nucleus.

284
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 6: Just figure out a way to fit people around it.

285
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 6: It looked okay when Jimmy Butler was there, it looked,

286
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 6: you know, they were a shot away from advancing to

287
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 6: a conference finals, and we're talking about this team totally different.

288
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 6: I think you can continue to build around these guys

289
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 6: and have success.

290
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. I'm glad you brought up like that

291
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: five percent chance to win a title. Like in the East,

292
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: it's wide open still. I mean, yeah, the Heat are great.

293
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: Who knows who they have coming back. Obviously the Raptors

294
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: you know in Theery Spiegel team, still the Bucks, you know,

295
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: the Sixers, in the mix of Celtics. But like it

296
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: is open, I mean, there is an open path. I

297
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: mean if everything clicks for you to at least go

298
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: to the finals and maybe win the thing. Saw Bobby Marx,

299
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 3: he broke down the books.

300
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 5: Though.

301
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: Simmons rookie max extension is about to kick in here,

302
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 3: so they're going in to this offseason with a payroll

303
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: of one hundred and fifty one million dollars and one

304
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two million of that are going to

305
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: four guys, Simmons in EMBID and then Harrison Horford. Wow,

306
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: that's already way over the luxury tax threshold, meaning a

307
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: massive penalty. And that's before free agency begins. So maybe

308
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: the Sixers ownership is also just leaning all into this.

309
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: They see Maury they locked up Ran for the extension.

310
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: They see Doc they go get him and they say, hey,

311
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: let's just throw a ton of money at this and

312
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: see what we can do. And I will say, you

313
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: said the picks there lead Yeah, not the sexiest looking

314
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: picks they have this year. For the November eighteenth draft,

315
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: they got number twenty one, and then they have thirty four,

316
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: thirty six, forty nine, and fifty eight. But Maury has

317
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 3: uncovered some gems before in the draft pretty late. Chandler

318
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: Parsons was deep in the second round way back in

319
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: twenty eleven, Clint Capello was number twenty five. In fourteen,

320
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: Montrez Harral even a second round pick, and earlier early

321
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: issues second round pick in two on fifteen. So maybe

322
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: they find something, may find one of the gems, or

323
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: like you said, maybe they trade all those Who knows,

324
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: because Morey likes to make some moves. I think he

325
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: averaged six trades per season on average when he was

326
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: with Houston for thirteen years. That's a lot of trades.

327
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: He's just a fantasy basketball player who's got a really

328
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 4: really good job, you know. Yeah, one of those guys

329
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 4: he's always looking to just keep something moving.

330
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: You know.

331
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: It's great.

332
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: It must be so annoying for the other gms because

333
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: those people in your fantasy basketball league, and I was

334
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: one of them, were the most annoying people. Ye keep Brody, Hey, Brody,

335
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: you want to trade me? LOI vot? You want to

336
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: trade me? LOI vot?

337
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 4: Brody?

338
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: No, No, interest. Okay, you just leave me alone to

339
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: the point you just keep bothering them, and then they

340
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: eventually just tried the guys who will shut the hell up?

341
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: All right? Anything to add to this, and it sounds

342
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: like we're all pretty excited. I don't know why you

343
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't be. Yeah, you got a big name in Maury,

344
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 3: the big team in Philadelphia. That's a weird team as

345
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: it is, and can they figure it out? It's exciting

346
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: I think for the league in general. And you know,

347
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: Maury had a quick break with his family after so

348
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: he's gonna take some time off. Spending with the family.

349
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks was good enough, and now he's

350
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: back at it. But anything else to add, guys, for me,

351
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: this man is gonna be busy.

352
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 6: Like you're saying, people are excited about a coach and

353
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 6: a GM, that's really not an exciting thing. You know,

354
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 6: you gotta have a little bit of faith if you're

355
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 6: a Sixers fan that your super team that happens to

356
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 6: be in the front office is gonna be what pays off.

357
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 6: But you gotta do so many moves because, like you're saying,

358
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 6: skeets having so much tied up in Harris and in

359
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 6: Horford means that if you trade one of them, you're

360
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 6: obviously getting money back because that's how trades work. But

361
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 6: number two, if you only trade one of them, you're

362
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 6: still gonna be over the cap, and you just traded

363
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 6: a good player like Harris and Horford are still decent players. Yeah,

364
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 6: you're likely trading him for worse players who maybe fit

365
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 6: your team a little bit better, but you're gonna take

366
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 6: a little bit of a hit from a from a

367
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 6: talent standpoint while still being over the cap. It's a

368
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 6: tough tough spot for Daryl Morey to be in. He

369
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 6: kind of worked him with his way to having zero

370
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 6: flexibility by the time he left Houston. Now he's going

371
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 6: to a place where in Philadelphia where he still has

372
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 6: zero flexibility. And we're not sure if the piece is

373
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 6: fit exactly right, but it feels like the end of

374
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 6: the era in Houston continues in era in Philadelphia, which

375
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 6: is the exciting thing. They had a little bit of

376
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 6: a wayward dalliance with Colangelo and Elton Brand there, and

377
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 6: Lee said Elton Brand has done a good job. I

378
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 6: one hundred percent disagree. I think he completely botched the process.

379
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: So good thing. They got somebody in there who can

380
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: make a good decision.

381
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 4: I will say though, I think when he got out Harford,

382
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: and I'll say it, I thought it was a good move.

383
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 4: I thought it was the right move. It didn't work out,

384
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 4: but I thought he got a good piece in there

385
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: to space the floor, spread the floor and experienced guy.

386
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 4: Now we look at it in twenty twenty hindsights, so

387
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: it didn't work. But I think at the time about

388
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 4: you know, eighteen months ago, whenever it was signed, I

389
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: thought that was the right move. And Elton brand was

390
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: largely made that move, and they brought it, you know.

391
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: I mean again, they obviously lost Jimmy Butler, but Josh

392
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: Richardson's another good piece on theory on paper to fit

393
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 4: that team. So not all moves turn out great, but

394
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: at the time going into them, I mean I thought,

395
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 4: I thought the Sixers and I think a lot of

396
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 4: people thought this is going to be much better last

397
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 4: season than they were. So I'll say that, I think

398
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 4: I think Oldon Brown has done a better job than

399
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 4: he's been given credit for.

400
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: Right now, Wow, he's going about for I think that's

401
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: because he's a loyal guy. You must have loved Elton Brown.

402
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: He played.

403
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 4: He was a good fantasy player.

404
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: He was a good fantasy player. Yeah, he never hurt you.

405
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: You got a lot of blocks too for a sort

406
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 4: of undersized big man.

407
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: That's true, it's true, a pretty good.

408
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: They're taking Elton brand world mid Raine shots and they're saying, hey,

409
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: let's pull it out. Let's bring in Daryl Mourray to

410
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 5: to Starry mardern aizing the game a little bit. Elton,

411
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 5: we don't want your mid rangers anymore. Let's shoot some threes,

412
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 5: my man. And that's what's going to happen. That's gonna

413
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 5: happen a little bit. But he's also handcuffed because the

414
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 5: offseason is so short, so there's not gonna be a

415
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 5: lot of moves that are going to be made. There

416
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 5: is going to be less time to chat with other

417
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 5: general managers. So I think we're gonna see some Furk

418
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 5: and Korkman's out there fire, and we're gonna see some

419
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 5: Mike Scott out there fire. In a way, just surround

420
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 5: them with the shooters as much as possible.

421
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons is still injured too. Let's not forget that, right,

422
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: I mean, we don't even know when the season's even starting,

423
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 3: but will he even be there at the start of

424
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: the season. And then also, oh, what type of shape

425
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: is dwell embiidd you know after I'm sure we've been

426
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: working out hard all the time. Yeah, probably probably the

427
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 3: best shape of the top shape. Yeah, all right, well

428
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: let's keep it moving here again, lots of news to address,

429
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: talk about the team that Morey just left, the Rockets.

430
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 3: In other front office news this past week, Steven Silas

431
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 3: was named the rockets fourteenth head coach in franchise history. Now,

432
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: Silas spent the previous two seasons as an assistant coach

433
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: on Rick Carlisle staff in Dallas, and he helped the

434
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: MAVs to I guess it was technically the best offensive

435
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: rating in NBA history, so he had some impact on that.

436
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: And he has just been an assistant coach for ever,

437
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 3: I think nineteen years officially as an assistant coach, a

438
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: couple of years more in the scouting So like, this

439
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: guy's got two plus decades and he's the son of

440
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: Paul Silas, so he's been around the league forever. He's

441
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: put in his time here. But Tas, were you surprised

442
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: by this hire for the Rockets going with Steven Silas.

443
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm not in an inside circles NBA person,

444
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 5: and none of us are, So this wasn't really out

445
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 5: there as far as sort of the general public goes. Obviously,

446
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: the Rockets were doing their due diligence and they're interviewing

447
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 5: Jeff bang Gundy and their own guy, John Lucas, but

448
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 5: this wasn't out there. And Steven Silas is sort of

449
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 5: one of the I guess, one of those younger guys

450
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: who have, you know, kind of under that Nick Nurse

451
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 5: sort of idea that hey, maybe a guy who's been

452
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 5: around for a long time as an assistant coach or

453
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 5: coached elsewhere, has been on benches can help us out

454
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 5: assistant or scout for twenty years. And I think he's

455
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 5: sort of in that mold. He's only forty seven years old,

456
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 5: a lot younger than the other candidates that were out there,

457
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: and I think most importantly on this Rockets team, because

458
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 5: you want to talk about the Sixers being handcuffed, the

459
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: Rockets are definitely in that boat where they've got two

460
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 5: guys making a huge chunk of their salary cap and

461
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 5: Harden and Westbrooker got to build an offense around that.

462
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 5: What's important I think is Steven Salas also has a

463
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 5: bachelor's in sociology and management. I think it's just going

464
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: to be about trying to convince James Harden, hey, we

465
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 5: can do other things, my man, maybe a little off

466
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 5: the ball. Russ Let's work a little bit off the ball.

467
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 5: I mean, it's really a lot about that locker room.

468
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 5: And I think they believe that Steven Sallas, who's worked

469
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 5: with Luka Doncic last year, has worked with a lot

470
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 5: of stars and Steph and others. I think he's his

471
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 5: number one obligation. Really it's design and offense and convince

472
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 5: those guys to be willing to try and change a

473
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 5: little bit, to do some other things, to get others involved,

474
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 5: and to not just be a James Harden one on

475
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 5: five type deal. But they're still going to be good.

476
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 5: And Steven Silas's congratulations to him. The guy has earned it.

477
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: Imagine twenty years working benches and working benches. This has

478
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: nothing to do with his dad, you know, being a

479
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 5: lifer in the NBA and being a coach just has

480
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: to do with his work ethic and so congrats to

481
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 5: Stephen Silas.

482
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 3: And by all it counts. This guy is like the

483
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 3: nicest guy in the NBA. Everything I read or hear

484
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: someone talk about Steven Salles like, guy's the nicest guy.

485
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 3: Guy's the nicest guy, nice guy I ever met. That's

486
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: a good thing when everybody is saying that that's a

487
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: that's awesome and it's cool to see him get this job.

488
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: Are you surprised, Trey by this hire?

489
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm surprised by it, but a little bit not

490
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 6: because when you're comparing Steven Silas to Jeff Van Gundhi

491
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 6: and John Lucas, you know which one's going to be

492
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 6: the cheapest. So it's not a huge surprise that rookie

493
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 6: head coach would be the choice for the Rockets. But

494
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 6: I do think it is a surprise that you have

495
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 6: a team with Marden and Westbrook, a team that has

496
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 6: had success, not the ultimate success. They fall in short

497
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 6: time and time again, as we all know, it's pretty

498
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 6: unusual to go with the first time head coach when

499
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 6: you're theoretically trying to win a championship, When you're trying

500
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 6: to be a title contender, do you bring in a

501
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 6: guy who has never been the head coach for a

502
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 6: team to hold James Harden accountable. It wasn't He wasn't

503
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 6: able to really be held accountable to do something off

504
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 6: the ball when he had a Coach of the Year

505
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 6: on the sideline. So will he now want to be

506
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 6: an off the ball mover for Steven Silas, I'm pretty doubtful.

507
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 6: Luka Donc just didn't do a whole lot of moving

508
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 6: for the Dallas Mavericks. This to me is a pure

509
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 6: money higher. Yeah, the Rockets are going to still be

510
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 6: trying to win a championship. They're still going to be

511
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 6: a team that's competing for the postseason. Tanking is bad

512
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 6: for business. About the only way you could lose more

513
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 6: money is to go into a full tank right now,

514
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 6: So no way Tillman Furtita wants to do that. But

515
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 6: Steven Silas, to me, makes more sense as a coach

516
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 6: for the future, as a coach who is rebuilding with

517
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 6: a young team. So maybe we will see the Rockets

518
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 6: go down that path and then not too distant future.

519
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little worried that no one's gonna give

520
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: a damn about the Rockets when we play next season.

521
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is because Mari being gone

522
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: and Tony being gone, who knows, like Trey says, is

523
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 3: one of those big guys moved. Can you move a Westbrook?

524
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: You probably definitely could move a Harden. There'd be a

525
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: lot of interest in him. But I just have a

526
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: weird feeling like because with the Rockets, yeah, they still

527
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 3: might be good, but no one, and I mean no

528
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: one's gonna be like, oh yeah, they could win the title.

529
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: No one's gonna say that until they ever prove it.

530
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 3: With this, you know that Core as hardened as your

531
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: main guy to go deep into the playoff run again,

532
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 3: no one's gonna care. No one will, no matter what

533
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: they're doing in in the regular season. So I have

534
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: this just a strange feeling that the Rockets are just

535
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 3: gonna be there, Lee, and they're just gonna be like again,

536
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: I'm very happy for Stevens, and I hope he proves

537
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: me wrong, Like that'd be awesome if he's like suddenly

538
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 3: this nick nurse, like tast said, like crazy innovator and

539
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 3: he's got hard in doing other things, that would be amazing.

540
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: I'm doubtful, but I just think the Rockets are just

541
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 3: gonna be a like there's a team that's good, but

542
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: not great, and they're just going to be there. But

543
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 3: what do you think?

544
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: Well, I wish him all the best because it is

545
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 4: a very challenging situation for a first time coach to

546
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: go into, because that's the thing, these two guys. It's

547
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 4: hard to change anybody's playing style this far into their

548
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: career anyway, you know, So to sort of convince someone

549
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 4: when you're in your first season to say, hey, play

550
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 4: this way or do something different, or let's do this now.

551
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 3: And they're good. I mean that's a crazy part. They

552
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: give did a lot of games right there, won fifty

553
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: sixty games playing the way they do Harden in Westbrook.

554
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: I mean, they are you know, you're right, I agree

555
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 3: with you to change them as difficult.

556
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 4: But then then we know what happens sort of come

557
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 4: playoff time. It's just the formula just doesn't really work.

558
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: So that's going to be the big challenge for how

559
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 4: Silas can sort of change things without changing them, if

560
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like Westbrook and Harden are

561
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 4: going to both want to get their shots and their

562
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 4: points and things like that, So can he somehow find

563
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 4: a way to bring out more out of the other

564
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: guys that Mike D'Antoni wasn't able to do. And exactly

565
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 4: how that Ross's even going to look is going to

566
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 4: be is something to look forward to as well. So

567
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: it's I agree with what you're saying, though there's kids

568
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 4: like I think the Rockets probably win forty five games

569
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: just if they don't have a coach. So you know,

570
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 4: what will Silas really be able to do to sort

571
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: of make his imprint that will be accepted by the

572
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 4: other two guys. If you say, someone in the chat

573
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 4: I saw before said, you know, tell Westbrook's coming off

574
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: the bench, I mean, why not? But good luck as well.

575
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 4: I just can't see Westbrook saying sure, I'll be happy

576
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 4: to do that. But that might be the sort of

577
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 4: thing where it's like, hey, I'm the coach, I want

578
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: to try this out and see if it works. You'll

579
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 4: end the games, but I just want you to come

580
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 4: off the bench and start again. I just don't see

581
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 4: Westbrook daying like, yeah, okay, nowhere it's I'm happy with that.

582
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 4: So he's in a very very tough spot. If he

583
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: can somehow, you know, make the Rockets a very very

584
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 4: good team and you know, perhaps convince a few people

585
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 4: that something could be different than great. But it's just

586
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 4: we just sort of know the story too much of

587
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 4: this Rockets team come playoff time that they just don't

588
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 4: seem to be able to get over the line. And

589
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that Silas is going to be able

590
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 4: to do any better than anyone else has done in

591
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: the past.

592
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be very worried if I was a

593
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 3: Rockets fan that they have a rough start to the

594
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: season and you've got a rookie coach in there, you've

595
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 3: got an owner hemorrhaging money by all accounts, and you know, suddenly,

596
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: would it be shocking if a Harden, maybe a Westbrook,

597
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: maybe both, they're like, I don't want to be here,

598
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 3: Get me out of here, right, you know, I'm up

599
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 3: there in age. I want to ring trade me. I mean,

600
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: I could see that. I don't know, maybe not, but maybe,

601
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 3: like you're saying, task, maybe the hope is Steven Silas,

602
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 3: as I said, is such a well liked guy that

603
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 3: they wouldn't want to do that, and they and they

604
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: will play hard for him. They'll change up things and

605
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Maybe he has that ability to connect

606
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 3: with people. So we will see. Who knows the coaches.

607
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: It's always a wild.

608
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 5: Card, right, and hopefully he connects with him and says, hey,

609
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 5: don't get injured, because you know, Westbrook wasn't. It was

610
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 5: injured in the playoffs. He wasn't himself. And I think

611
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: probably what he hasked to convince him is you got

612
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 5: to sit sometimes. I mean, really, the whole thing is

613
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: be fresh as possible in the playoffs for those two guys,

614
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 5: since they carry such a big load, it's not really

615
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 5: going to change. But I think the mentality that they

616
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 5: the whole you know, the load management thing's got to

617
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 5: happen with both those guys. Even though Harden likes to

618
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: play every single minute, I think they probably have to

619
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: take some turns. I mean, you might have to rest

620
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 5: once a week, especially in a bit of a truncated schedule,

621
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 5: might be a little bit more packed. There's gonna be

622
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 5: a decent amount of backs to backs if they go

623
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 5: to a certain city and have to play two games there,

624
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 5: Like it looks like we're gonna have some baseball series

625
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 5: out there. So I think that's really what it comes

626
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 5: out to. I think we we do lose sight of

627
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 5: the fact that this team is got the longest playoff

628
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 5: run whatever that record is Lee. I know you like

629
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 5: to pull it out. A current playoff run along with

630
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 5: the Toronto Raptors. They still do a lot. It's a

631
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 5: couple of Western Conference finals in there. But yeah, they

632
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 5: are getting a little bit of become last year's story,

633
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 5: kind of an old story. But hopefully Steven Styles can

634
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 5: can try and get them fresh as possible in the postseason,

635
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 5: because you know, we're here, we got here. We got

636
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 5: here an Alan Iverson type Westbrook sort of in a

637
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 5: bit of a decline, you know, that's just how it

638
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 5: works with these explosive guards. And so the biggest thing

639
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 5: I think is he's got to be fresh, and he's

640
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 5: got to be able to finish around the rim because

641
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 5: he didn't look like himself in that Lakers series when

642
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 5: they lost in five games.

643
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: And will the Rockets continue to go pocket rockets or

644
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: will they go get a center and actually play a

645
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: little bit more of a normal basketball because that's the

646
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: other thing to ask you talking about a schedule, if

647
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: it's truncated and stuff like, I just don't think you can.

648
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't think you can do it as it is,

649
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 3: but especially not in a shortened season. It's more packed in.

650
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: For ask these guys that are six six sixty seven

651
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: to play center. I mean for an entire year. I

652
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: just think they run out of gas. So maybe they'll

653
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 3: switch it up and go with a more traditional I

654
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: guess big. We'll see what they do there.

655
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 5: I disagree Isaiah's got a lot of Heartenstein, but I

656
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 5: think you need another big guy in there.

657
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: Let's get to the schedule, because the NBA and the

658
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: NBA Players Association, they're still at odds a little bit

659
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: here over the start of the next season. The union

660
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: is resisting thus far, a league plan to open a

661
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 3: short and seventy two game regular season on December twenty second,

662
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: and then complete the NBA Finals before the Summer Olympics.

663
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 3: In July, mark Stein reported that the NBA players may

664
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: only be offered a fifty game season if the union

665
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: insists on a mid January start. So this is sort

666
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 3: of getting a little dice. I say a little because

667
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: you know, the players Association and the league they pushed back,

668
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: you know, when they wanted to come upon an agreement.

669
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 3: Last Friday was going to be the date. They say, Okay, well,

670
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: let's let's push it back a little bit. Keeps getting

671
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: pushed back and push back and push back, so they're

672
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: still talking to each other, but there definitely is some

673
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: negotiation going on here, tasks throughout the media, like, let's

674
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: be honest. It's like, we get this from the league

675
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: saying we're gonna lose a billion dollars if we don't start,

676
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: and then you get the players coming back through other

677
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: reporters saying no, no, no, we're not doing that. We

678
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: want to spend Christmas with other fans. All this is

679
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: this is just going back and forth here. So what

680
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: do you think they ultimately are going to decide on

681
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: here or are you even worried at some point they

682
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: just can't come to an agreement and then uh, oh,

683
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: you know we're ripping up the CBA and starting from scratch.

684
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: What's your best guess at where this goes?

685
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: Oh, they're coming to an agreement. Okay, this isn't a

686
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: standoff between Michelle Roberts and Adam Silver. Where it went from. Hey,

687
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 5: these two are very cordial and get along very well

688
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 5: and know that the future of the business has to

689
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 5: be basketball games. They have to play games. But as

690
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 5: Michelle Roberts did at leading the MVPA, and she said, listen,

691
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 5: you're not going to just push us and force us

692
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 5: into an agreement. I wouldn't want to mess with Michelle Roberts.

693
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 5: She wants she wants a good deal for her players,

694
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 5: and that's fair. But I think the best deal for

695
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 5: her players is to get that extra five hundred million

696
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 5: to a billion dollars, And so that money, if they

697
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 5: do start earlier, is the most important thing for me.

698
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 5: And that's why I think they do start a little

699
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 5: bit earlier. They're already going to lose forty percent of

700
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: income this year, that's the report, because there's no fans

701
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 5: in the stands. So I think you want that extra

702
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 5: five to ten percent. That's what the five hundred million

703
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 5: to a billion dollars is, and the players get half

704
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 5: that if they come to a similar CBA agreement. So really,

705
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 5: when you look at four hundred players, if it's five

706
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 5: hundred million bucks, even on the on the low end,

707
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: it's really like two hundred thousand to a million bucks

708
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 5: a player, and two hundred thousand bucks to a lot

709
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 5: of players where your lifespan is you know, four or

710
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 5: five years, it's a lot of money, and I think

711
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 5: those players are going to push for it, even the

712
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 5: million dollars on the larger scale, guys, that's also a

713
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 5: decent amount of money. But to me, it's more about

714
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 5: the players that they take care of at the end

715
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 5: of benches and at the end of rosters. You want

716
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: to maximize their money, and that means starting earlier. And

717
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 5: that also means more importantly getting in line for next

718
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 5: season to have the season start on October seventeenth like

719
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: it usually does or November, because as we see right now,

720
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 5: that's the money maker. So the further you push it back,

721
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 5: the more you bump into next year's money as well.

722
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 5: This is going to be another one off. It feels

723
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 5: like it felt like the bubble was going to be

724
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 5: a one off. Well, this is the way the world

725
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 5: works now, so it's going to be another one off.

726
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 5: But you got to push it forward. It is a

727
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 5: truncated here offseason at State for everybody involved. But they

728
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 5: got to come to it. I think I think they

729
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 5: got to start early. It's in the best interest of

730
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 5: everybody and everybody's pocket most importantly.

731
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so you still think a pre Christmas type of

732
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: start eventually happens, Trey, what do you say.

733
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the owners are going to win this

734
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 6: one because the owners usually win these negotiations.

735
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: It feels like.

736
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 6: June all over again, when we're hearing a whole bunch

737
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 6: of presentations and proposals for what the series or what

738
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 6: the season is going to be. You remember, back in

739
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 6: May and June we were talking about a World Cup

740
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 6: group stage for the NBA bubble. Things can certainly change,

741
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 6: and things changed over the course of reporting. From the

742
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 6: first time that the governors said that we wanted to

743
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 6: start in December, because then it was a matter of

744
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 6: only losing five hundred million dollars a measly five hundred

745
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 6: million in just a week, it turned into a billion.

746
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 6: It also used to be that we want to end.

747
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 6: We want to end the season so that you can

748
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 6: go play in the Olympics if you want to. But

749
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 6: now it's actually, we want to end the season so

750
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 6: that we're done before the Olympics because the Olympics will

751
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 6: kill our ratings, which we'll again hurt the pocket books.

752
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 6: So I think you factor in all of the money concerns.

753
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: Plus there's now reports.

754
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 6: That, oh yeah, don't forget, we could end the CBA

755
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 6: again if we wanted to. You see, the players lose

756
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 6: every single negotiation they have with the owners because the

757
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 6: owners unfortunately have their the control of the pocket books.

758
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 6: So I imagine we're going to be starting sometime in December.

759
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,239
Speaker 6: It's a matter of getting that money flowing again, and

760
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 6: that is the easiest way to do it.

761
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: Lee, What do you think fifty eight game season is

762
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 4: perfect right now? So everyone plays each other once home

763
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: and away. That's what they should do. That's the middle

764
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 4: ground almost here between fifty and seventy two. It's not quite,

765
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: but it's close enough. But yeah, ultimately, what is going

766
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 4: to happen is the owners are just going to say, okay,

767
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: well we just we're not going to let you earn

768
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 4: as much money as you want to earn, and we're

769
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: going to control how things go from here on out

770
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 4: because they want more games on TV to make more money.

771
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 4: And that's what it comes down to at the end

772
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 4: of the day. So you know, like you know Lebron saying,

773
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 4: you know, I'm going to sit out the first month.

774
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 4: That's fine, he takes a month off anyway, don't do it,

775
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 4: you know, just I mean, we want we want, we

776
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 4: want the basketball back, but we don't want it to

777
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 4: be a messy situation where you know, this could lead

778
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 4: to some further turmoil down the road, but ultimately, yeah,

779
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 4: the owners are sort of dangling the dollars over their

780
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 4: head and saying, well, this is what you're going to

781
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 4: miss out on, and if you play hardball, I think

782
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 4: there'll be further ramifications as well. That's what they're trying

783
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 4: to do. They're trying to bully the players into getting

784
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: out there and playing. So you know, I think we're

785
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 4: going to see something closer to a Christmas Day start

786
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 4: than than a January start. I think ultimately that's what

787
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 4: will happen. But I would love to see that fifty

788
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: eight game season. It would be beautiful.

789
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 3: The other part of this is like what protocols are

790
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 3: going to be in place to keep everybody safe during

791
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: a damn pandemics here still, because like Tas said, it's

792
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 3: not going to be a bubble, it's going to be

793
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 3: a guess the scheduling where you sort of go to

794
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: a city and you play a couple of games, but

795
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 3: there has to be so much, as we just side

796
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: down in Orlando, so much in place to try and

797
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: keepbviously COVID out of whatever artificial little thing you're trying

798
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: to do here, which is so much more difficult when

799
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 3: players are coming and going and there is no just

800
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 3: you know, sealed sort of environment like they had down there,

801
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 3: like they're gonna need to know all this. And the

802
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: reason I bring that up is like we might be

803
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: starting to run out of time here if they're going

804
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 3: to play before Christmas, Like this has to get executed

805
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: pretty soon here to get a new Susan new season.

806
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 3: Excuse me, new Susan. I think I said Susan because

807
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: I was talking to Nora about getting a new Lazy

808
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 3: Susan for one of our cupboards. Anyway, but you gotta

809
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: get going here. You gotta spin that thing and let's

810
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: get going here to get this new season going quick.

811
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 5: A lazy for a cupboard, Yeah, man, you can put

812
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 5: a lot more in a cupboard.

813
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like a two tier one that we're thinking

814
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: of going to. We have one in there. We're going

815
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 3: double Susan, double season. Wow, I've never even heard of

816
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 3: such a thing. That's crazy, bro, you're living the life.

817
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 3: Somebody negotiated their br that's right. Well, yeah, I mean

818
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 3: Nora's making the ultimate decision, but you know, I'm the

819
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: players this right, Nora is like, if we're getting it.

820
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: If she says we're getting a double Susan, then we're

821
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: getting a double suit if I don't want it. Even

822
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: if I don't want I'm not ready. I'm not ready.

823
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: I just put in one Susan and I can't turn

824
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: around that quickly into a double Susan. So yeah, Nora was.

825
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 6: Like, we're gonna lose fifty percent of our maple syrup

826
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 6: if we don't go to a double Susan.

827
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 5: Here.

828
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 3: You want that maple syrup and I love maple syrup.

829
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: So she's really holding it over my head. Man, it sucks.

830
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 5: We haven't seen fifty percent of our copboard in months.

831
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 5: You gotta get it. It's Susan season, baby. I want

832
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 5: to take the back of that cupboard.

833
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: It really is. I'll make sure to take a photo

834
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: in that double Susan comes in. I think it's been ordered,

835
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know. I'm torn on this one.

836
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 3: I ultimately said when the first report came out that

837
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, yeah, we're gonna lose a lot

838
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 3: of money if we don't start pre Christmas December twenty second.

839
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, done deal, Like I was tweeting it.

840
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: Chom says it. Then that's that's it's happening because money

841
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: talks here. But yeah, I mean the players again, I

842
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: think they can if they don't feel comfortable. Again, I

843
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 3: don't want to just gloss over this, and they don't

844
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 3: feel comfortable with what is set up for the safety

845
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: of them and their families in terms of protocols with

846
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 3: COVID from flying around and stuff like that and going

847
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: from arena and arena, then that is what they can say.

848
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 3: They'll be like, no, we're not doing it. You don't

849
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: This is not it's not laid out, it's not mapped out.

850
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: We can't just do this on the fly. We've sort

851
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 3: of seen that happen in other sports leagues and it

852
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 3: hasn't gone all that well at times. So I don't

853
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 3: know anymore. I guess my preference is they do start

854
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one in you know, Martin Luther King days, fine,

855
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 3: mid January, I think makes sense. Gives a little bit

856
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: more time. They do get their holidays here, but usually

857
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 3: money ultimately wins out, So we will see. Let's hear

858
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 3: from you guys though the stream teamers let us know

859
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: in the comments and everybody listening. Later we got lots

860
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: more so they got too. Let's take a quick break though. Alright.

861
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 3: Our next piece of news here we called this one.

862
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: Steve Nash and Mike D'Antoni have been reunited in Brooklyn.

863
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: The team announced that d'An toni, along with former Spurs

864
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 3: and Sixers assistant coach Email Udoka, will be an assistant

865
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: Undernash with the Nets. So the two join Jacquelan, who

866
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: coached the Nets in the NBA restart on the coaching staff,

867
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: along with Mary Stanemayer, who will also serve as a

868
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,959
Speaker 3: player development assistant. So you got Nash, you got a Mari,

869
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 3: you got D'Antoni, you got Sean Marks in the front office.

870
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: My question, Trey for you, which old sons like associate player,

871
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 3: front office person, whatever is next to come to Brooklyn.

872
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: Who would you like to see in the mix? I'm

873
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: loving this.

874
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 6: I just hope that you know, Steve Nash has had

875
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 6: like production capabilities in the past, so I hope we

876
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 6: see some sort of getting the team back together montage.

877
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 6: You know, like Sean mars is calling up Steve Nash

878
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 6: and then Steve Nash is calling up a Maury Stademeier

879
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 6: and Jacques Vaughan's like, wait, I know a guy, his

880
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 6: name's Emay. And then finally they get Mike D'Antoni on

881
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 6: the horn. He's like, yeah, I'll come to Brooklyn. I'll

882
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 6: run your offense. It's exciting times getting the the seven

883
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 6: seconds or last sons back together, but it feels like

884
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 6: they've got a lot of these positions covered. Steve Nash,

885
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 6: obviously the head coach. D'Antoni, you imagine, will have a

886
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 6: major influence on the offense. And he mayodoka a defensive guy.

887
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 6: You gotta assume coming from the Spurs, he's gonna mainly

888
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 6: head up the defense, while jacqu vaughan will probably assist

889
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,959
Speaker 6: in that realm as well. So what else is left there?

890
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 6: You know, the Brooklyn Nets, they take a ton of threes,

891
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 6: but they were not great at shooting threes. Last season.

892
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 6: They finished fifth in attempts per game, but only twenty

893
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 6: six in percent. I think they need a shooting coach.

894
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 6: They got to bring Sean Marion in to teach these

895
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 6: guys how to just flick it on up there a

896
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 6: little well, push it be flicking it here. You know,

897
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 6: Sean Marion is the biggest name left from those Suns teams.

898
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 6: Unfortunately he doesn't necessarily have a job that fits his

899
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 6: particular skill set. We know him for his defense and unfortunately,

900
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 6: we do know him for his shooting form. So I

901
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 6: would like to see him pass it down to Joe Harris.

902
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 6: You know, I think the Nets should bring back Joe Harris.

903
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 6: He's a great three point shooter. Let's ruin it. Let's

904
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 6: get him shooting like Sean Marion.

905
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 3: Be fun times. No, I like that idea. You just

906
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 3: bring in Sean Harried as your shooting coach. You show

907
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 3: him shooting, and then you go, don't do that. Just

908
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: don't do that, and you're gonna be good. Yeah. You

909
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 3: got the janky fingers that he's got, all right, So

910
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 3: shot Marian is an obvious one. Yeah, get him in

911
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 3: the mix here, Lee, Do you have anyone else.

912
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 4: You got to bring back? Bobo Boris Dior because listen,

913
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 4: I think with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, you know, both

914
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 4: of those guys, you know, we know they can be

915
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 4: a little bit fictitious with some of their teammates. Boris

916
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 4: Dior is the guy who's going to come in with

917
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 4: his espresso machine and anytime this tension building, he's just

918
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 4: going to say, sit down, Let's have a coffee, let's

919
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 4: talk about it, or a glass of wine. He's going

920
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 4: to ease the tension if there is any in that

921
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 4: locker room. And it'd be just great to have Bobo

922
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: back out there. So yeah, bring him back. Of course,

923
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 4: he played with He was actually very good too with

924
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 4: Steve Nash in those early two thousand and five six

925
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 4: Sons teams. He was pretty pretty good player. And he's

926
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 4: a fun guy. I'd love to see him back in

927
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 4: the league. But he's out on his yacht. He's cruising around,

928
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 4: he's having a great time. I don't think he wants

929
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 4: to come back to the NBA, so it might be

930
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: hard to convince him. But if you do, I think

931
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 4: you'd be nice guy, just to keep things level and

932
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 4: to make everyone feel good about themselves in that locker room.

933
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 4: Thing's get to be crazy.

934
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Sean Marian Boris, do you task anyone? Dad?

935
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: No?

936
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 5: I love the Boris Diau pick, because yeah, he doesn't

937
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 5: want to be a coach. He's too busy. He's the

938
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 5: most interesting man in the world. But they already have

939
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 5: enough coaches, As Kyrie Irving said, they can all be coaches.

940
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 5: Jacqua mind can be a coach. Kevin Durant can be

941
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 5: a coach. Mari Son rag they have a billion coaches,

942
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 5: but you have the most interesting man in the world

943
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 5: as your player development guy, even though he's not going

944
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 5: to develop anything. He's just there to chat. I mean,

945
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving wants to be the most interesting man in

946
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 5: the world. He's got a lot going on. You can

947
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 5: chat it up with Boris Diao. Steven ash was in

948
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 5: that role with the Warriors where he would just come

949
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 5: in and work with specifically one guy and Kevin Durant.

950
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think Boris would be perfect buddies with

951
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving. I think you just talk about life. There's

952
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 5: enough coaching. We don't need any of that. But Bobo, yeah,

953
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 5: we need him back in lives.

954
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: Okay, if there's enough coaches, let's get some players for

955
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 3: the nuts. Then Joe Johnson, let's go former son. He

956
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: played for a minute and uh Leandro Barbosa, I'm sure

957
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 3: he still got it now.

958
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 4: He's in the Golden State, though, I think.

959
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's playing anymore.

960
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: There is he?

961
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 3: No, he's in the front office.

962
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Yeah, well, there you go.

963
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: He's got some reps in get him over to Steve Nash.

964
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 3: That's who I want to see back. But yeah, excited,

965
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: excited for D'Antoni and we got it's amazing he's there.

966
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 3: What a weird, weird thing. He is now an assistant

967
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 3: under a guy that he you know, somewhat recently, I guess, coach.

968
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 3: It's been longer than I probably remember.

969
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 6: But like that picture of Splinter watching walking with the

970
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 6: Ninja turtles, and then there's another picture the turtles are

971
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 6: fully grown.

972
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah right, that's a good way to put it all right,

973
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: next one here. According to the ESPN's Brian Windhorse, the

974
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 3: Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to start competing in the near future.

975
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 3: Wendy said on his podcast, quote the Calves, who have

976
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 3: sort of been at the bottom from what I have understand,

977
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 3: intend to move up. They intend to hit the gas

978
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 3: a little bit. That's the money quote. Their task hit

979
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 3: the gas a little bit. So for what it's worth,

980
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 3: the Calves have the fifth pick in the upcoming draft.

981
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 3: Then they got a bunch of players that what do

982
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 3: you think this is a bad idea? A buch of players. Yeah, yeah,

983
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: but it's got a bunch of players. Bad idea for

984
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 3: the Calves to hit the gas a little bit and

985
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: try and speed up this process, accelerate. What do you think.

986
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 5: I think it's a very good idea. Gas it up.

987
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 5: I don't see what the problem is. They're the worst

988
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 5: team in the Eastern Conference. Last year. They weren't a

989
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 5: very good team with a very high payroll. Basically, their

990
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 5: team is going to be the same next year anyways.

991
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 5: Their front court's going to be Kevin Love and Andre Drummond.

992
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 5: Their backcourt's going to be Darius Garland and Colin Sexton.

993
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 5: How can it be worse? They don't have a good

994
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 5: team going forward. It just didn't work out last year.

995
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 5: So Brian Winhurst was it was one sentence from that podcast.

996
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 5: I went and listened. Yeah, he said quickly, he said, yeah,

997
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 5: the Calves don't want to be a seller. They intend

998
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 5: to accelerate the rebuild. Well, listen, they've sort of been

999
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 5: in rebuild. They haven't shown that they can hit home

1000
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 5: runs with their draft picks, and so they have the

1001
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 5: number five pick right now. I mean the status quot

1002
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 5: would be taking someone at the number five pick and

1003
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 5: adding him to this roster, or you trade the five pick,

1004
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 5: maybe trade another player and try and I guess accelerate.

1005
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 5: I mean they won nineteen games last year. It's not

1006
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 5: a good team. I think if you're in this car,

1007
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 5: you turn the wheel a little bit, go in another

1008
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 5: direction and hit the gas. Sure, I think that's a

1009
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 5: good idea. I think Kevin Porter Junior is the only

1010
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 5: guy that I see that I want to have more

1011
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 5: minutes on that team. The lefty there is a good

1012
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 5: young player, but the other ones have disappointed to this

1013
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 5: point in their career. So that one sentence from Brian Winhurst,

1014
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 5: I think, roll with it, change it up, Kobe Altman,

1015
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 5: change it up and go in a different direction because

1016
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 5: things aren't working. Can it get worse? No? So the

1017
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 5: Kevin Love Andre Drummond experiment that we didn't really see

1018
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 5: last year because Love was hurt and Drummond was hurt.

1019
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 5: It's going to be interesting, but it wasn't good. So

1020
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 5: why the heck not change it up?

1021
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 7: All right?

1022
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 3: What do you think? Learly?

1023
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 4: Well, the idea is right, Yeah, it's hey, you're going

1024
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 4: to execute it? Really? I mean, sure, everyone wants to

1025
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 4: accelerate and be a contender as soon as possible, but

1026
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 4: that roster is just it's a weird mix. I mean

1027
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 4: Tastin mentioned there. You've got Love and Drummer who are

1028
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 4: in win now mode, and then you've got that backcourt

1029
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 4: of Garland and Sexton that is like they're not anywhere

1030
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 4: near ready to win now. So you either have to

1031
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 4: get rid of your veterans and get some younger players

1032
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 4: in to grow with those younger guys, or you trade

1033
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 4: away those younger guys and get some vets in and

1034
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 4: potentially try to vault up the standing in the Eastern

1035
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 4: Conference that way. But I'm not really sure how you

1036
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 4: would do either of those successfully and be accelerating in

1037
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 4: your rebuilt. So you know, the Cavs, they're a team

1038
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 4: that is not a free agent destination obviously now with

1039
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 4: Lebron not there, so they have to find a way

1040
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 4: to get players to come there who are already under

1041
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 4: contract or to draft them, and I think that's the

1042
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 4: best way to move. And when you've got Kevin Love,

1043
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 4: who would no doubt still get some interest out there

1044
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 4: on the trademarket, and Andre Drummond as well, cashing those

1045
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 4: assets and see if you can get some draft picks

1046
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: and do a bit of job in the draft, I

1047
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 4: think that's the only real way to do it, because

1048
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 4: it's one thing to say we want to accelerate, it's

1049
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 4: nothing to go out and do it and be successful

1050
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 4: at it immediately. So good luck, good luck to everybody.

1051
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 3: Did Yeah, that's right, try anything to add to the calves.

1052
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 6: I don't really want to talk too much about the calves.

1053
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 6: It's hard to think about what they're doing. How did

1054
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 6: they accelerate the rebuild? Did they start the rebuild? They

1055
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 6: still have Kevin Love, they traded for Andre Drummond last year.

1056
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 6: When were they rebuilding? They're just bad. I don't feel

1057
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 6: like they're actually building towards anything. So yeah, maybe you

1058
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 6: do need to accelerate it a little bit. It's going

1059
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 6: to be hard to trade Kevin Love. It's been hard

1060
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 6: to trade him since you signed him. He's on the

1061
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 6: books until twenty twenty three. Drummond surely will be picking

1062
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 6: up his option for next season. But then I kind

1063
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 6: of think next summer is when the rebuild is really happening, right,

1064
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 6: because Drummond will then be off the books. Down to

1065
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 6: ax them comes off the books, your cap is looking

1066
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 6: a little bit cleaner to maybe at least acquire some

1067
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 6: more veterans. You're not gonna be signing big names obviously,

1068
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 6: like Lee's saying, you don't have the Lebron draw there anymore.

1069
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 6: But you just to me, accelerating the rebuild from the

1070
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 6: Calves means seeing a good season from Porter or Sexton

1071
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 6: or Garland.

1072
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: That to me is the key.

1073
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 6: Those are your three pieces you would think will be

1074
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 6: around for somewhat of the future. Whatever the future for

1075
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 6: the Calves is, those guys need to be good. I

1076
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 6: would decelerate the rebuild or rebuild harder. I don't exactly

1077
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 6: know what it is. Kevin Love needs to be out

1078
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 6: of there. Andre Drummond needs to be out of there.

1079
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 6: You haven't hit rock bottom yet. It feels like you've

1080
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 6: hit rock bottom because you're the worst team in the

1081
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 6: Eastern Conference back to back years after going to the

1082
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 6: finals for four straight seasons.

1083
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 3: It feels like you're rebuilding, but you haven't committed fully.

1084
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1085
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy when you look at the Eastern

1086
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: Conference standings from last season. Yeah, you guys are saying

1087
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 3: it Calves worse nineteen and forty six. It's more embarrassing

1088
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 3: to me like that. The Hawks, the Pistons, the Knicks

1089
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 3: and the Bulls were like within three games of that

1090
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: worst record in the Eastern Conference. Like, my goodness, holy crap,

1091
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 3: there was a lot of garbage teams.

1092
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, a lot of garbage teams. If I'm not mistaken.

1093
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 6: The Bulls lost to the Cabs a couple of times

1094
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 6: last last year too, So I don't know. It sounds

1095
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 6: like maybe Cleveland needs an infusion of soul and spirit.

1096
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 6: I know they got a JB on the bench, what

1097
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 6: about Jim?

1098
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 3: So sorry, I freaked out there for a second. I

1099
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 3: accidentally hit the YouTube and I started playing what I

1100
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 3: was just saying. So I was looping there. That was

1101
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 3: a very very creepy all right, that's a good sign

1102
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: to move on from the caves. Uh this, Oh my goodness.

1103
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: All right, JD, you're gonna put We're gonna put you

1104
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 3: to work here. So NBA teams across the league have

1105
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 3: begun to roll out new uniforms for the twenty twenty

1106
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 3: one season, or maybe it's just the twenty one season.

1107
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: We'll find out. So we had a million leaks we're

1108
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 3: gonna get to but we know one is official. Official.

1109
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 3: You're looking at it now if you're joining us live

1110
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 3: on YouTube. It's the Blazers. They unveiled their Nike City

1111
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 3: Edition design, which pays homage to the team's home state

1112
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 3: of Oregon. So you see it there. These are all right,

1113
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 3: I think, you know, very unique, that's for sure. And

1114
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 3: no Blazers on it. No Portland, it's just straight up state.

1115
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 3: And you got the topographical sort of lines there of

1116
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 3: a map. So that's that. So keep that in the mix.

1117
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: That's official. Those are real. And then we have a

1118
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: million leaks and I'm going to show them all to you.

1119
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 3: I think there's something like, I don't know, it's like

1120
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: fifteen leaks here, no idea if any of these are

1121
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 3: real real, but for the most part, these usually come true.

1122
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 3: So leaks. The Spurs the Fiesta could be back in

1123
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 3: the mix. The Warriors going with an Oakland vibe. We

1124
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 3: believe Oakland. I guess the Lakers could be going with

1125
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: a blue shout out to Elgin. Baylor are sort of

1126
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: a white and blue. The Nets, yep, that's something we

1127
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 3: can get into that if we want. The Suns might

1128
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 3: be going with this crazy sort of the Valley vibe.

1129
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 3: It's got a very Tetris sort of look there. The

1130
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 3: Mavericks reportedly going with a golden white silver. Look the

1131
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 3: Wizards from Classic Gray Gotta love gray on a basketball jersey?

1132
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 3: What is this? Baseball? So DC looked there this one?

1133
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 3: The Pelicans looks like it could also be the Montreal team,

1134
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 3: the Knicks City Never Sleeps New York Knicks. Again, these

1135
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 3: are reported leaks and these potential jerseys. The Bulls with

1136
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 3: this very it's like a movie Chicago, right or something

1137
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 3: like that. Very art deco. Yes, art deco, That's what

1138
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 3: I'm looking for. The Pistons could be going with this

1139
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 3: motor City and then Detroit, Michigan. Underneath you always got

1140
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: this circle, and then you got the Grizzlies, probably going

1141
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 3: with the Memphis. This is probably official, going with the

1142
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 3: Memphis throwback because we've seen him do something similar, so

1143
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 3: this would be the next iteration of that. And then

1144
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 3: the Raptors finally with an ovo like Toronto across the chest.

1145
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 3: Got this sort of like line underneath it. All right,

1146
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 3: So those were all the leaks, and I could be

1147
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 3: missing some too. There's so many, there's like two, three,

1148
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: like every hour, it felt like, but including the Blay

1149
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 3: which is official official of all those, I just showed you, Trey,

1150
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,479
Speaker 3: what was your favorite or least favorite. What do you think?

1151
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about some good ones first. I really

1152
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 6: like the Suns one. I liked the Valley. It's kind

1153
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 6: of an established jersey look right with a silhouette, whether

1154
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 6: it be of mountains whatever I supposed to suppose that's

1155
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 6: what this is supposed to be, or buildings like we've

1156
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 6: seen with Denver.

1157
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 3: And Dallas in the past.

1158
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 6: I also like the way that the black with the

1159
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 6: flame colors kind of plays on the old jerseys that

1160
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 6: Charles Barkley used to wear back in the day. JD

1161
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 6: mentioned in Slack that it maybe is not widely known

1162
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 6: that the Phoenix area could be called the Valley, but

1163
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 6: I still think these look great. And I also really

1164
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 6: liked the Spurs ones as well. You know, people have

1165
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 6: been wanting them to wear Fiesta jerseys forever because they

1166
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 6: had the Fiesta warm ups back in the David Robinson days.

1167
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 6: They're finally putting it on a jersey and it looks great.

1168
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 6: It looks exactly as cool as everybody assumed it would be.

1169
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 3: Okay, so are your favorites? What's your your worst one? Oh,

1170
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 3: the next one is just brutal. The next is one

1171
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 3: hundred percent brutal. They put the wrong phrase on it.

1172
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 3: City never sleeps.

1173
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 6: It's the city that never sleeps. And if you google

1174
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 6: city never sleeps, a phrase that is not associated with anybody,

1175
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 6: it comes up to a movie about the city of Chicago,

1176
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 6: which was the original city that Never sleeps until Frank

1177
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 6: Sinatra came around in the nineteen eighties and stole it.

1178
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 3: You put the wrong phrase on your jerseys. This is brutal.

1179
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 6: Also brutal the Detroit Pistons who have a comma on

1180
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 6: their jersey. I've got punctuation on your jersey, Pistons, come on, religula.

1181
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I think so many of these are atrocious.

1182
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 3: I don't like a lot of these. I'm glad you

1183
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 3: pointed out the Spurs. I love that one. I'm not

1184
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 3: even the biggest fan. I got to admit of the Sun's one.

1185
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 3: But Lee, let's go to you. What do you like

1186
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 3: or dislike from the bunch?

1187
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 4: Well, I definitely had suns one as well. That was

1188
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 4: probably my favorite. So yeah, run, I just sort of

1189
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 4: like that. And again, it sort of looks like the

1190
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 4: night with the sun rising or setting, whichever way you

1191
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 4: want to look at it. There, So I thought that

1192
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 4: was cool. But I actually don't mind the Lakers one

1193
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 4: either there live there. That's a bit of a throwback there.

1194
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 4: When I first I thought I'm not so special about that,

1195
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 4: but then I looked at him like, actually, that wouldn't

1196
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 4: look too bad out on the court, I think, with

1197
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 4: the nice blue shoes as well on the players. So

1198
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of that one there. Ok, yeah,

1199
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 4: those are my two.

1200
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, tas what are you like? Well? Sorry, sorry,

1201
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 3: which one do you heat? Do you have one your heat?

1202
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1203
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 4: It's tough to go past the next one there because

1204
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 4: it just looks as well, like the font is like

1205
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 4: it's covered up as well. You can't read it.

1206
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the ingredient Laker.

1207
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 4: It's so it just reminds me of the Office, New York.

1208
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 4: New York's the night club that never sleeps, that shuts

1209
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 4: it one.

1210
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 3: I mean, people have literally been clamoring Knicks fans for

1211
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: a black jersey like for so long. I feels like,

1212
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 3: and this is what they're given, Like somehow, even in

1213
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 3: a black jersey in our opinions at least, maybe there's

1214
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 3: some people out there that like it. Tasks you got

1215
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 3: what you got? A favorite one?

1216
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 5: You hate, well, jump, let's let's keep jumping on the

1217
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 5: Knicks there for a second. But I do want to

1218
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 5: mention the Knicks. So it says city never sleeps, taking

1219
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 5: out the in that the city that never sleeps now.

1220
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 5: If they're good, let's say they're good. It could be

1221
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 5: like we the North in Toronto. It's not gonna happen,

1222
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 5: but let's just say that everyone was getting we the

1223
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 5: North wrong. There's a lot of people saying we are

1224
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 5: the North. Yeah, right, and then and then it just

1225
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 5: becomes a conversation. Oh yeah, come on, come on, you

1226
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 5: gotta be cool and say city never sleeps. It's unfortunate.

1227
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 5: This thing is unfortunate. This is this jersey. Just it's

1228
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 5: not good. I don't I don't particularly like that one.

1229
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 5: It it almost seems like a knockoff. It seems like, yeah,

1230
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 5: someone just threw that together, especially that NYC part. Yeah.

1231
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 5: I'm not a big circle person. I don't mind a

1232
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 5: nice little comma in that Detroit, Michigan one. Give me

1233
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 5: more punctuation, love me some punctuations, exclamation. It's a lot

1234
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 5: of words on that jersey. I do like the Oregon

1235
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 5: the Blazers one. I do too, it's a lot of

1236
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 5: earth tones, a lot of earth. They love the earth

1237
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 5: in Oregon. I like the jagged lines down the side

1238
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 5: as well, that you know, don't don't line up on

1239
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 5: the side. It looks cool now on the court. I

1240
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 5: think it should still look cool. I imagine it in

1241
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 5: Portland's arena.

1242
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 2: Uh.

1243
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 5: And I think it'll look cool under those lights. Like

1244
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 5: what Lee said about the Lakers. I think the Lakers

1245
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 5: one that electric blue will look good in Staples under

1246
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 5: those lights. The what do they call it, the blackout situation?

1247
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 3: They got to see every arena do that too, right?

1248
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 3: Good points they could implement something like that, and that's

1249
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 3: what I read some report that that's a possibility to

1250
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 3: make it like atmospheric and stuff like that.

1251
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, they have sent down stipulation or suggestions as

1252
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 5: to how you entertain Uh. The entertainment rule is basically

1253
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 5: how how because they learned so much from the bubble

1254
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 5: with no fans, so they have sent that down. And yeah,

1255
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 5: the Lakers blue will work. And I'm interested to see

1256
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 5: how the pellies work out, because I'm they they go

1257
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 5: different in New Orleans. They've done that, you know, the

1258
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 5: front in the back.

1259
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:21,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't mind it either.

1260
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 6: But I just assume that anybody that puts on his

1261
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 6: Zion Williamson jersey is just gonna.

1262
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 3: Have jacked arms immediately. Yeah, they come with the jersey.

1263
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 5: I was swayed as well when I saw this guy.

1264
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 5: He looks cool. Uh, he's he's ripped. He looks good,

1265
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 5: and so it makes the jersey look good.

1266
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1267
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 3: I know you're right, though, cropped it a little bit

1268
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 3: because he's wearing like the tightest pants ever. It looks

1269
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 3: really funny with the tight pants. So many pointed out two,

1270
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 3: like the blue band at the bottom is interesting because.

1271
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 5: It's gonna be tight in.

1272
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be tucked in. Yeah, for the for the players,

1273
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 3: but that probably means the shorts are blue. I mean

1274
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 3: you got to think so yeah.

1275
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to see that blue. I want to

1276
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 5: see but the shorts of them, that makes sense. No

1277
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 5: Orleans changes it up. You know, they had that the

1278
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 5: crazy one, I forget the name of it. That the

1279
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 5: front was different than the back where they had like

1280
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 5: the four quadrants one. Yeah, it's like.

1281
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 6: Purple and green, different spots, yeah, Marty.

1282
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 5: So they go different with the shoulders and then the

1283
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 5: bought and the flourid de Leise.

1284
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 3: I like it.

1285
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 5: New Orleans can be different. They can be different because

1286
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 5: it's such a unique city in the United States. So

1287
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 5: I'm looking. I want to see that on the court,

1288
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 5: and not just this Jack guy, but I think all

1289
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 5: the other players will look good as well.

1290
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 3: Let's bring JD in. What do you think. I know,

1291
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 3: when we were sharing this in the slack channel, JD,

1292
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 3: you were not that impressed with a lot of them.

1293
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 3: You were like me, going everyone felt like it was

1294
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 3: getting uglier and uglier. It's almost started to become a joke.

1295
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 3: But what do you think? What's your favorite and then

1296
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 3: your least favorite.

1297
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 7: Well, I'll start with My least favorite is actually the

1298
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 7: palas it it looks like a smock to me, like

1299
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 7: welcome to Walgreens or good or like like something in

1300
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 7: a shoul would wear in an obscure sport, you know,

1301
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 7: like a French water polo league or something. Handed penalties

1302
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 7: in the pool there. But yeah, my favorite actually is

1303
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 7: as well is the Valley. I mean, now, as I

1304
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 7: Trey mentioned that I did that, I didn't know that

1305
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 7: the Phoenix was known as the Valley. In fact, the

1306
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 7: valley this scream San Fernando Valley like like seventies poorn

1307
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 7: to me which is great?

1308
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 5: Which was?

1309
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 7: Which is what I said in slack? And I put

1310
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 7: this picture in slack. I want to see Philip seymour

1311
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 7: Hoffen wearing the Valley a way too tight Valley jersey.

1312
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 7: But this fell fat, flat and slack, so I hesitated

1313
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 7: to put it on the air. You know, workshopping things

1314
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 7: in slack is not a good idea.

1315
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 3: What what do you think, Trey of Because we've seen

1316
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 3: the Nets do a jersey for like Biggie before, right

1317
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 3: Torius bg And now we've got this one. I can't

1318
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 3: even remember the artist that this is, John Michelle Boskie.

1319
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you. What do you think

1320
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 3: of this? I mean it's different.

1321
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 6: There's a lot going on, no doubt, but that kind

1322
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 6: of fits with the boskyacht painting and he's a local artist.

1323
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 3: They've done this. Who did they have?

1324
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 6: I think they had Phase did the graffiti for their

1325
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 6: Brooklyn Bay ly N jerseys they had last year as well.

1326
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 6: But they also put in a new floor last season

1327
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 6: that kind of matched those great jerseys they had. I

1328
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 6: wonder if they'll do something simple or something similar with

1329
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 6: some crazy colors or something on their court this year,

1330
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 6: we'll see. I don't like them as much as the

1331
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 6: Koujie ones they had, but Brooklyn, to me, kind of

1332
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 6: always nails it with their uniforms. They're just playing on

1333
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 6: a theme. They've got the general look of a plane

1334
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 6: jersey and then they tinker around the edges with it.

1335
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 6: It's really weird, but I'm kind of for it. Okay,

1336
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 6: all right, Well, let's hear from the stream teamers. Let's

1337
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 6: hear from everybody on Twitter at no Dunk Sink.

1338
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 3: Let us know your favorite of the bunch, your least favorite,

1339
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 3: Which one you thinks looks like garbage? Because there is

1340
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 3: some there's some rude ones. Think the Warriors one is

1341
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 3: horrible too, Like, first off, you're not in Oakland anymore,

1342
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 3: like you just left, man, and then you're throwing that

1343
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 3: across the chest and it's like a play on the

1344
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 3: wee bully. I don't like that. And again, I always

1345
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 3: wonder with these leaks, do they do they throw these

1346
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 3: out into the world and then just see what the

1347
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 3: reaction is and they're like, oh, never mind, we won't

1348
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,479
Speaker 3: release that. They just like, are they committed? And there's

1349
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: like tags on them and they've already printed. You know,

1350
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 3: millions of these, who knows, But I don't like that, Lee.

1351
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 4: It looks like a knockoff jersey that my dad used

1352
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 4: to buy when he would go on business trips to

1353
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 4: America in the late eighties and he'd come back with

1354
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 4: like this Lakers jacket, and I wanted the start of

1355
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 4: Lakers jacket and he was like, the couldn't get one,

1356
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 4: but I go, this one was just as cool, and

1357
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 4: it was like, just some other guy has just put

1358
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 4: this jacket together, probably cost him ten bucks, but I

1359
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 4: would wear that around because no one else had it.

1360
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 3: Says Los Angeles lasers on it. Oh, I didn't notice that.

1361
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 4: That's what it looks like, which is disappointing because the

1362
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 4: Warriors have had some pretty fire jerseys toll where over

1363
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 4: the last five years or so, so it looks like

1364
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 4: they're just like, yeah, yeah, not sorry, guys.

1365
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. It looks like a lot of these were designed

1366
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 3: pretty damn quickly, which is a little disappointing. But again,

1367
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 3: you let us know on Twitter or in the comments. Okay,

1368
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 3: final one. Here got a little video that accompanies it.

1369
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 3: Former President Barack Obama showed he can still get some buckets,

1370
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 3: swishing a corner three pointer at a Flint, Michigan Jim

1371
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 3: on Saturday while he was on the campaign trail for

1372
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, his former vice president. Let's roll this clip.

1373
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 3: It's so good. Yes, So splashes the corner of three,

1374
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 3: says that's what I do beneath the mask, then pops

1375
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 3: the mask down just so you heard it again, that's

1376
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 3: what I do. On a scale of one to ten, Lee,

1377
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 3: just lobbing a softball up to here right now here, buddy,

1379
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 4: Ten being the coolest that four million? I mean, it's

1380
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 4: just got everything out there, Like he just gets the

1381
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 4: ball so that just someone passes to him. He's got

1382
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 4: a little heavy takes a dripple, knocks in the three

1383
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 4: strauts off the court like he's the coolest guy in

1384
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 4: the world, talks his smack, and then just in case

1385
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 4: you didn't hear him, he lowers the mask to talk

1386
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 4: his smack a little more. So much just got a

1387
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 4: cop I think that's he's just walking out of there

1388
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 4: like the coolest man on it. I don't think there

1389
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 4: has ever been a five to eight second clip on

1390
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 4: the Internet that's had so much drip so.

1391
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 8: Much swagger than what Baracobaba did just that because he

1392
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 8: I mean, he knocks in the three to like checks

1393
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 8: his feet, there's a little wiggle and then he just

1394
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 8: walks off like, yeah, man, I'm the coolest man in

1395
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 8: the world.

1396
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,959
Speaker 4: I thought that was the most amazing clip I saw,

1397
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: and I've seen for a long time. Man, man, he's

Speaker 4: a cool dude.

1399
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 3: And as well, you know, he's.

1400
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 4: Wearing like pants and a jacket there and.

1401
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,320

01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 3: well exactly.

1403
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 4: But that's the thing, like he made that like he

1404
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 4: didn't sort of have any he didn't sort of hang

1405
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 4: on a minute, let me take my shirt. He didn't

1406
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 4: do the Kenny the jet you know he's gonna I

1407
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 4: gotta take my jacket off.

01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 3: He just grabbed the ball, knocked in the three, walked

1409
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 3: out of this. If you old mother is.

1410
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 4: And just lessen gim it was so cool.

Speaker 1: Man.

1412
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:15,760

Speaker 4: gonna be at president again tomorrow.

1414
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 3: But a cold clip.

1415
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 4: It is so cool.

1416
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 3: Anything to add h to ask or tray about that

1417
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 3: Obama three splashing it from the corner.

1418
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 6: Looks like he's been working with Sean Marion on this

1419
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 6: three pointer form there from the corner a little flickty.

1420
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 6: I also don't know who it is, but as soon

1421
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:39,439
Speaker 6: as Burring nails that, somebody basically yells, oh we are

1422
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 6: well Sasha barre Corn trying to get close to Obama

1423
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 6: getting burned poor at three.

1424
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 3: I do like how like LEGiT's not surprised, but I

1425
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 3: gets impressed. A lot of people are in the clip

1426
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 3: like they're like, you can see a couple of faces like,

1427
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 3: damn yeah, it's pretty damn cool man like even in

1428
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 3: the moment right there, tasks anything to add to Barry's

1429
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 3: three very cool.

1430
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 5: I think that his staff set it up so they

1431
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 5: left from that corner because it would have been a

1432
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 5: different shot from the opposite corner going to that hand.

1433
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 5: So they're always looking out for the president former president

1434
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 5: doing it right. He's fresh, he's so fresh on the

1435
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 5: campaign trail. He's just joined basically the last a week

1436
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 5: and a half or whatever. He is, so he's smart.

1437
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:29,919
Speaker 5: He's a smart guy. He's fifty nine years old. He's

1438
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 5: banging on that shot. It's money. He was on the

1439
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 5: shop was just released with him and Lebron James. So

1440
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 5: go check that out the conversation that they had while

1441
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 5: Lebron and the Lakers were deciding do we stay here

1442
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 5: in the bubble. He called up Lebron and they had

1443
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 5: that conversation. Brock coming through, man, just absolutely coming through

1444
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 5: here in the clutch as he did on the basketball floor.

1445
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 3: The one thing I would always make fun of Barack

1446
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 3: Obama was him playing pick up basket well in pants.

1447
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 3: But now it all makes sensely now you've tucked me

1448
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 3: into it. He's putting in the reps playing in pants

1449
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 3: so he can do something cool like this in his

1450
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 3: slacks as he leaves the gym. Now that he's thinking

1451
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 3: he's just playing chess, man, he's ten steps ahead of it.

1452
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1453
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 4: Man, he's just the Fonds. That's basically what he is.

1454
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 4: It's a real life version of the Fonds. And you know,

1455
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 4: yesterday I tried to recreate it. I thought he's a

1456
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 4: good little funny video I could put together, me and

1457
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 4: Barak doing that same thing working off. I had my

1458
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 4: kids out, I had the coffee all set up. I

1459
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 4: tried it. I knocked it in. I did it a

1460
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 4: couple of times. Then I'm like, there's no point. I

1461
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 4: just can't. I cannot recreate anything like that, even if

1462
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 4: it was like I thought it might be funny, No,

1463
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 4: not worth it. Barak stands alone.

1464
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 3: Wow, you're telling me you actually went through all the

1465
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,919
Speaker 3: trouble setting all up, recorded it, and then even still

1466
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 3: watching it back, you're like, ah, this is I had

1467
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 3: it in my movie.

1468
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 4: I had to split screens and everything. I tried to

1469
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 4: land it all up, and I looked at it. I

1470
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 4: showed it to my wife and I said, that's there's

1471
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 4: no point really trying to recreate that, is it?

1472
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 3: Like sorry, honey, we just wasted all your afternoon, you.

1473
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 4: Know, because remember last year, last year in the playoffs,

1474
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 4: you know, I recreated a couple like Lillard's big Shot

1475
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 4: and guys, and you know, like whatever you think you

1476
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 4: know or not. I thought that's a little bit of

1477
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 4: something to put out there in social media. I did

1478
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 4: the split screen. I thought maybe I'll do my first

1479
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 4: ever reel on Instagram here. But I couldn't figure that

1480
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 4: one out. So I had to go into into I

1481
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 4: movie and put it all together. And yeah, it just

1482
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 4: it was just like, you know what, you can't replicate

1483
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,959
Speaker 4: anything like that. You can't just can't make it that cool.

1484
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 3: So I let it.

1485
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 4: I let it go.

1486
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 3: Are you wearing pants when you shot it?

1487
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 4: Well, so that was the other thing.

1488
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 3: No, was he didn't want to put on pants.

1489
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 4: But but I was like, I was like, is that

1490
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 4: too much? Or should I just be out there? You know,

1491
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 4: I had the mask and everything, I'm out with the kids.

1492
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 4: But I'm like, yeah, I just can't do it. So

1493
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 4: you know, I let it slide.

1494
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to see you went over

1495
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 3: at Tassa's house picked up his vault mask. You can

1496
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 3: had that's a little real Wow, that's crazy. Yes, more

1497
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 3: drip than a piece of celery with hummus hanging up

1498
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 3: and else is Halloween party?

1499
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 6: Pretty good comment from Rodrigo on the stream team, who says,

1500
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 6: I love that the Funds is the epitome of cool

1501
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 6: for Lee. That's between the Funs and Styles Glinsky.

1502
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 4: One dude, now you're talking. Yeah, there you do. But

1503
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 4: Styles would have been the one in the video like

1504
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 4: really hyping him up, you know, like give me the

1505
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 4: big massage on the back of the show.

1506
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 3: That's my boy right there, that's my boy is.

1507
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 4: The ultimate hYP man. Obama was just like, let's call it, what.

1508
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 7: If Obama is the funds. I guess styles is Biden.

1509
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 7: So Biden styles for president?

1510
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 5: Is that?

1511
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. He hasn't quite got the

1512
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 4: same energy you style.

1513
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 5: They both wear sunglasses.

1514
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 3: True.

1515
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 6: I'd love to see Biden driving a tour bus with

1516
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 6: Obama standing on the top.

1517
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,720
