00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Time now for a sports update on a podcast. Freshman

00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: The Raiders are trading.

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Jacoby Myers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: for fourth and six round picks. And finally, Madmots were

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: alive when the Great Pyramid.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: Was being built. How about that? Is he? I mean,

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: college basketball back?

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: College basketball is back by the Gators lost, So you know,

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 3: I don't really care that much.

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 4: You know, good to you, Arizona. But Jacoby Meyers, see

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 4: you're giving that.

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 3: Update, and I was like, oh, that's interesting. There's a

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: name that I recognize. It's a skilled position. He got

16
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: traded too.

17
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 4: Oh the Jaguars. I lost all interesting.

18
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: I get just what The Jaguars are not going to

19
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: be any fun to watch?

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: Taylor put it on the poll.

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Are the Jaguars the most disrespected five and three team

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: in NFL history?

23
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: No one believes in that.

24
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 4: Nobody, Well, you're really pushing that.

25
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 5: So the Jaguars the Raiders just played each other. Jacoby Myers. Theoretically,

26
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 5: if this trade happened two days ago, I could have

27
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 5: just got back on the flight with the Jaguars.

28
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: I thought that game was in Las Vegas.

29
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: You're right, he could have hopped back on the bird

30
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: back to Jacksonville as opposed to staying in Jacksonville had

31
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: they played that game in jackson.

32
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: It's like when you're playing a three game series in

33
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: baseball and the two teams execute a trade and one

34
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: guy just walks from one dug out to the other one,

35
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: just from one playing to the other.

36
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: That would have been great.

37
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I want to say Jacksonville got better today, but I

38
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: don't know.

39
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I have no idea.

40
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: Again, and it's not just because Hey, it's Jacksonville and

41
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: I don't know how good they are.

42
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: Jacoby Myers only a name. I know, I have no

43
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: idea if he's done anything good this year.

44
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they gotta. I think he's pretty good.

45
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 5: No, correctly, he's having a down year, mostly because he's

46
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 5: not happy.

47
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: Let's have a live look in on how Jacoby Myers

48
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: is doing.

49
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: Go Taylor.

50
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: So the proper response is the response that Mikey gave

51
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 5: is Jacoby Myers good.

52
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: But I'm also wondering if Jacoby Myers is capable of

53
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: having a down year, does he qualifies it. Yeah, he's

54
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: just having a down year, Like you're making it seem

55
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: like it's Jerry Rice and he's.

56
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: Just having a down year this season. Like that's not

57
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: the case at all, Jacoby fucking Myers.

58
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: I also don't think, like, first of all, if there

59
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: are Jaguars fans in Jacksonville, but I think if there

60
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: are Jacksonville fans, like a five and three, we're gonna

61
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: make a big move. We're gonna just take us over

62
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: the edge with this. Oh Jacoby Myers, h what has

63
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: he been doing lately? Like that's not the move that

64
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: really gets you excited. That's not the move that.

65
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: Says, hey, STU got to say we can be in

66
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: the super Bowl. Oh now we got Jacobe Myers. Like,

67
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: it doesn't really I don't.

68
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Think there's a move Jacksonville could make to get me excited.

69
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: They can get you Moore Chase, and I wouldn't be

70
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: excited because their quarterback is still Trevor Lawrence.

71
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 5: It's a non needle moving team getting a non needle

72
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 5: moving player.

73
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: That's a couple of non needles cutting it up.

74
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: Of that not really cutting much non needles. Is Lebron

75
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: James still a needle mover.

76
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: Stu.

77
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: You've got like your your your early NBA takes. What

78
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: are they so far that have been started? Cooper Flag's

79
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: a bust.

80
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: He's a total bust. I mean Austin Reeves is the

81
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: m v P. That's what he was last week.

82
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Yes, by the way, I'm just gonna go ahead and

83
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: put this out here. Everybody who's on the victor Winbnyama

84
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: can win m v P this year.

85
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: No he can't.

86
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: No, he can't. It's done.

87
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: He's going to have games where you're just like, Wow,

88
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: that's effing crazy. Nowhere going to be consistent enough to

89
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: win the MVP. You just get that out there, Yeah,

90
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: one hundred percent.

91
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Hold on, can I can before you get that out

92
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: You got it out there? Can I argue it?

93
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: Please?

94
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Are you telling me if san Antonio makes it to

95
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs?

96
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: Uh? Is a top four seed?

97
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Lem Bin Yama plays you know, most of the games

98
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: because injuries are obviously the concern of the problem with him.

99
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: He missed half the season last year. But let's do

100
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: it this way.

101
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Is he they may the playoffs, they're a top four

102
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: or five seed. He plays seventy two games. You're telling

103
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: me he doesn't win the MVP.

104
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: I'm saying that part's not gonna happen. Okay, I'm saying

105
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: the top four seed. I'm saying, like Hit, there are

106
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: games where he can be defended.

107
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: You can scheme against him, and you can keep.

108
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: Him to possibly like single figures, maybe even fifteen points.

109
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: Like obviously, there's other things you can't really control that much.

110
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: If he's gonna rebound big numbers, he's gonna get big

111
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: rebounding numbers. If he's going to affect the rim, obviously

112
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: he's gonna affect that. He's gonna block some shots there.

113
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: But in terms of just dominating a game and being

114
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: an MVP over the course of a full season, I

115
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: don't see it, which is why I don't think they're

116
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: gonna be a top four seed. They are getting off

117
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: to a nice start and everything else. But you're gonna

118
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: have to figure he's gonna have he's gonna miss some game.

119
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna naturally have some maybe ten to fifteen games

120
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: that he misses, and in those games, will they still

121
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: be as nearly as good if he is dominant in

122
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: the games that he is playing, and then yeah, it's

123
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: just a matter of can he be that consistent.

124
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: Can he take over games?

125
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: And you know, I watched him play against BAM and yeah,

126
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: he's still put up the numbers. The Spurs still won,

127
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: but Bam outplayed him, and I thought the next game

128
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: he didn't look very good and lost to the Phoenix Suns.

129
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: I just feel like that consistency level is not going

130
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 3: to be there yet with victory.

131
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: Okay, the other take I've been running with is Luca

132
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: I have had enough. I mean seriously, I mean, you've

133
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: had to the back half of a back to back

134
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: this Whole Men's Health I slimmed down. I'm in the

135
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: greatest shape of my life. I am going to run

136
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I'm going to run the Western Conference. I'm

137
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: gonna be the MVP. And he's already missed four games.

138
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, how many games have they played? He's missed

139
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: half of the half of the games the Lakers have played.

140
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: Luca and he misses a back to back, a back

141
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: to backer on the back half?

142
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: Is he? How old is Luka Donkic? I mean, honestly,

143
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: what is he doing? What was the whole point of.

144
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: Getting in shape the Whole Men's Health magazine cover. What

145
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: was the point of all of it same old Luca.

146
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 6: So Luca Doncicic is twenty six years.

147
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: Old and skinny Luca even like sort of tweaked his

148
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: knee when he was playing in Euros this summer.

149
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: And that actually gets.

150
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: Me to the most interesting part, because I don't think

151
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: he's gonna play enough games to even be in the

152
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: MVP conversation because you have it, doesn't.

153
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: Want to play enough games.

154
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: Well, he's gonna sit out some. He's gonna probably be

155
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: heard for some sixty five. It's real, really easy to miss,

156
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: like seventeen games in the NBA. So the interesting part

157
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: to me is we've seen what Austin Reeves does right

158
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: when Luca's out. We've seen when Austin Reeves when Luca's in.

159
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: So when Lebron comes back, they're big three of Austin Reeves,

160
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: Luca and Lebron. Seems like it could be pretty serious,

161
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: like a pretty good trio that you could say, all right,

162
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: I think we can win a championship with that trio.

163
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: But where does Lebron really fit in there? He's the

164
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: third wheel in that trio, is he not?

165
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: Like in terms of the ease with which you score,

166
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 3: It's not like defensively, he has this you know force anymore,

167
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: and so still the right look, He's still good. But

168
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: as the third wheel, I.

169
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: Don't think he'd used himself as a third wheel anywhere,

170
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: certainly not if the second wheel was Austin Reeves.

171
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: I mean, but if the first wheel, first.

172
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: Of all, is giving you forty ten and ten like

173
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: a forty point triple double on average, that doesn't leave

174
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: much for the second and third wheels period, even if

175
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: it is two way and two b. And the reason

176
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: I set all that up is to say, if this

177
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: is Lebron's like last or second to last year, is

178
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: he going to be the third wheel on a Lakers

179
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: team that might make the finals? Or is he gonna say, listen, guys,

180
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: I don't really understand this role over here. I'm certainly

181
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: not gonna do it behind Luca and Austin Reeves. Send

182
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: me somewhere and the two places that would blow my

183
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: mind interesting if Lebron went there Golden State of Course,

184
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: where it's like the old heads team up and it's

185
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: you know whatever.

186
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: The events staff Jimmy Butler Draymond Green.

187
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: Writes Lebron and Brandon Pajimski the next Jayhaya Tani or

188
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: Stan Antonio to just like, Hey, let's see what we

189
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: can do with this greatest of all time and this

190
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: guy who's gonna be, presumably if he stays healthy and

191
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: continues on this path, the next greatest of all time.

192
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: Those are the two spots I would love to see Lebron.

193
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: I don't care if he wins it in either spot.

194
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: It would be more important if he wins it and

195
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: watched in Golden State. But if he goes to San

196
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: Antonio and doesn't win it, I don't care. I would

197
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: still want to see every single game.

198
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 5: Sure, so, Stu, I'm imagining this Lakers team like a bicycle.

199
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 5: Luca's the wheel on the front, Lebron's the wheel on

200
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 5: the back. Austin Reeves is more of like the training

201
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 5: wheels on the side. Because Luca's gonna miss games, Lebron's

202
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 5: gonna miss games. You need those training wheels in place

203
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 5: to kind of keep you steady sometimes, and then once

204
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 5: you're ready, Hey, take those training wheels off. Take Austin

205
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 5: Reeves out, get it, get it, get in line, buddy,

206
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 5: you're you're best.

207
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 6: The third option.

208
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: The problem with old training wheels is he missed last

209
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: night's game as well.

210
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: I mean because load management.

211
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, can you be the training wheels when

212
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: on one of your big performance days where you need

213
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: to come up big, you have eight turnovers Like that's

214
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: that's front wheel type of stuff. That's not safety wheels in.

215
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: The back izy. Meanwhile, they're six and two, they're four

216
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: and oh on the road. They're doing that without Lebron

217
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: and basically without Luca. So I don't know why Lebron

218
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: would want to go anywhere. They appear to be very

219
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: good team in a deep Dean Ayton's been great for them.

220
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know.

221
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: Like I would love to talk to some LA fans,

222
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: not even other just to see what they really want,

223
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: Like do they want Lebron to come in here, because

224
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: it's almost like they've already cashed in on the Lebron thing,

225
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: right they got their championship in twenty twenty.

226
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 4: It is what it is, like, Hey, it's all good.

227
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: Now you can move away.

228
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: We don't need the Kobe Bryant overinflated contract taking up

229
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: all our space and then just you know, worshiping what

230
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: you've done in the past, like it's okay, we can

231
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: move on because we have Luca now, we don't need you.

232
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: So I don't really think that for him to come

233
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: in and disturb things potentially because he's Lebron James and

234
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: you never really know what he's thinking. Like if I'm

235
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: a Lakers fan, I'm like, it's okay, Like we can

236
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: just see you off to.

237
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 4: Your next stop. We're good where we're at. Wow, that's

238
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: fairly amazing.

239
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Like Lebron being a detriment to your team and your

240
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: team's chances to win a championship because Luca is there

241
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: and four training wheels, right.

242
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: If you think about that, like if you are playing

243
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: around Luka Doncics, and this is not even saying that

244
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: any other team in the league wouldn't do this. Of

245
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: course you would take Luka Dancic over a forty year

246
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: old Lebron James to lead your team. But the pieces

247
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: around him can't be slow, can't be aging, can't you know,

248
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: not move around like you've got to move around fast

249
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: because he's the slow one in theory, and he's the

250
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: one that orchestrates everything. So if they're just going to

251
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: take turns, it's not going to be most beneficial for

252
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: the Lakers because Luca's better than Lebron. Lebron doesn't deserve

253
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 3: as many turns at it. And so, yeah, I think

254
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: when you hear Schams talking about, yeah, I don't really

255
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: know what Lebron's future is, is it as soon as

256
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: this year because we don't know if they'll be in

257
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: next year. I would be more than happy if I'm

258
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: the NBA to see him move on and just create

259
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: another storyline because La is already interesting with Luca.

260
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 2: Right, So create the San Antonio storyline.

261
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: Create, just just take a team, a team that maybe

262
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: people aren't thinking of as contenders, and then boom, you've

263
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: created another storyline in another NBA city for another organization.

264
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: Well they've done because Lebron has landed in your city.

265
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: Did Lebron and Steph Curry thing has been such an

266
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: interesting dynamic, right because in twenty sixteen, when Lebron kind

267
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: of bullied you know, Steph and just did the whole

268
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 3: and he like looked back at him like he was,

269
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: who is this kid trying to take over my league?

270
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: It was like, oh, wow, Steph really has to hold

271
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: his ground. And then you know, here comes KD. Steph

272
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: got his championships twenty twenty two, Steph got that fourth one.

273
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: Now they both have four.

274
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you might as well just now you know,

275
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: did the Paris thing together, and just like you know,

276
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: the old heads still running the league.

277
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: So why not.

278
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: As a final act, as a final story, put them

279
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: together and let that be a fifth championship for both

280
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: of them? Can you imagine that they both get five,

281
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: they both match Kobe Bryant, they both say to the

282
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: rest of the league, you know, hold off, because we're

283
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 3: going to take this one more year. I mean, you

284
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: got Jimmy Butler his stupid title, and it's a great

285
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 3: championship for everybody.

286
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: You're one step closer to MJ. If you're both Curry

287
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: and Lebron James.

288
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: Well, that's the honesting, right, because then that adds to there,

289
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: will Lebron come back, try to win a six Will

290
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: Steph Curry win a sixth without Lebron? Then that make

291
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: him like, there's just so many intriguing storylines there, so

292
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: much more than oh, can they coexist Luca and Lebron?

293
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: If they stay in LA that to me is not

294
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: nearly as interesting because we already know the answer is

295
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: probably not right.

296
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: I'd like to see it, though, I would.

297
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, Listen, I'm intrigued by your other scenarios,

298
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: but I'd like to see if Lebron and Luca can

299
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: kind of work it out and figure out how to

300
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: win a title together, right, I mean, but why.

301
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: Because what does that really look like?

302
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Because I love the dynamic of having two guys who

303
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: are that good, who view themselves not as a second

304
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: wheel or a third wheel, as the wheel, right well,

305
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: and I love to see how that dynamic plays out.

306
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: Which one's gonna kind of, you know, cater to the other.

307
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: Twenty eleven Miami Heat, like we pretty much saw it.

308
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 3: It was Dwayne's team and Lebron didn't feel comfortable to

309
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: taking over him. By the end, it was like, hey,

310
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: Lebron needs to take over if we're going to be

311
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: at our best.

312
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: So I feel like.

313
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: We've seen it in terms of entertaining and start of

314
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: watching it happen, like I'd be intrigued to figure out, Hey,

315
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: they did work or it didn't work, But watching it

316
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: along the way not so interesting. Watching him with Steph,

317
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: watching him with Vic that would be wildly interesting.

318
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 6: So I believe in Stu's scenario what he's saying for

319
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 6: the audience at home keeping track. Stu's envisioning the big

320
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 6: wheel tricycle where there's the one dominant wheel on the front.

321
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 6: The Lakers are trying to figure out is this Lebron

322
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 6: or is this Luca? And then in the back Austin

323
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: reeves very clearly one of the two smaller wheels in

324
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 6: the back, and then who's the who's the other secondary

325
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 6: wheel on the back? Is it Luca or is it Lebron.

326
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: It's funny, that's exactly what I was trying to figure out.

327
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: I was in my head.

328
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: I had one of those big bikes with a big

329
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: wheel up front, and Lebron's face.

330
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,359
Speaker 2: Was on it, like because it's always on it.

331
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: And if Lebron is the big wheel, then Luca is

332
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: the dude driving the bicycle because he's no longer Lebron.

333
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fourth wheel.

334
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 6: Now we're talking cars.

335
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 5: And where's JJ Reddick in this equation? He kind of

336
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 5: just seems like he's going along.

337
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: For the rod he is.

338
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 4: Maybe it's.

339
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: Hand maybe it's an electronic car, an electric car, and

340
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: then just and and JJ is just the dash, Yeah,

341
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: just the computer.

342
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 5: So how I imagine JJ in this scenario it's almost like

343
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 5: the again separate vehicle. But those motorcycles with the little

344
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 5: side passenger, like the sad cars.

345
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: Si, yeah, the side car yeah.

346
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 6: JJ reddicks in there. He's just giving the thumbs up

347
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 6: out the window, right.

348
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: But who's driving the motorcycle? That's the question, right, Lebron's driving.

349
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: That motor So we've got to send vehicles now the driver.

350
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Okay, do you have any doubt that Lebron, like in

351
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: the motorcycle scenario. Don't you think Lebron always thinks he's

352
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: driving the motorcycle. I'm not in the sidecar. I'm driving

353
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: the fucking motorcycle. I'm Lebron, James.

354
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: I think Lebron because he's the big Lebron is the

355
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: big wheel in this scenario for sure, because he thinks

356
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: he's in control.

357
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: Look how big I am. I'm in the front and

358
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 4: everything is in front of me.

359
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: I'm deciding. No, no, no, it's Luca on top. He's

360
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: driving the big wheel. He's in charge.

361
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 4: I think we've got this right.

362
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: I think we've got a three wheel motorcycle. Okay, it's

363
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: Luca driving it. Lebron is the big wheel. Austin is

364
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: one of the back wheels. Don't know who the other

365
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: back wheel is yet. And then on the side car,

366
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick giving a thumbs up.

367
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: I think DeAndre Ayden's the other wheel, though, I.

368
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: Mean maybe in terms of games, you know what, probably

369
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: or really twenty nine points last night he did Hew.

370
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: Prisoner of the moment. I gave him a wheel on

371
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: a bicycle.

372
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: Chub Blazer's sneaky good team. Do you know our interim

373
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 4: head coach is, by the way, Stu.

374
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: Gets no idea.

375
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: It's a name you'll remember, but you'll never know that

376
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: he was an interim head coach, Thiago Splitter.

377
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: Oh, get out of here.

378
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: Thago's and I think he's four and two As their

379
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: head coaches got to play defense. They lead the league

380
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: in steals, they lead the league in turning opponents over.

381
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: It's a pretty good little Portland team right there.

382
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: Yep.

383
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: They lost to the Lakers last night without Luca, now

384
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: without Luca, without Lebron and without the training wheels known

385
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: as Austin Reids. But the sidecar was there, the coach

386
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: was there. I don't like my coach being that tall.

387
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you.

388
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: It's so you prefer Aaron Glenn, you like the five

389
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: to nine head coach, not the six to eleven Thiago Splitter.

390
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that.

391
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: There's just something about a Thiago Splitter towering over everybody.

392
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: I just don't like you have to look up to him.

393
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: It's not like, listen, Billups deserves whatever Billups is getting.

394
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: But that's the kind of size I like is at

395
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: my head coaching position.

396
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: Six for the tallest, Like, what's the tallest your head

397
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: coach can because I think pat Riley's like six six, right,

398
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 3: Like that's a tall man.

399
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's a lean, good looking six six. It's

400
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: a different six to six.

401
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

402
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Six to six for me is the perfect height. It's

403
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: Michael's site, Yeah.

404
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 4: For everything, for a player and a coach.

405
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: Yes, the same way that we found out this weekend

406
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 5: that to nobody's surprised really that Davis Mills was still

407
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 5: the backup quarterback for the Texans. If you would have

408
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 5: told me Thiago Splitter was like the twelfth man coming

409
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 5: off the bench for the Spurs. Whatdn't about it?

410
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: And I which was more believable that he was the

411
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: twelfth man, like prolonging his career or that he was

412
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: the head coach right now of the board trail.

413
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely, twelfth man put that on the pole tailor.

414
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: It's a fun question.

415
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: Now phrase the questions too, Uh, Thiago's splitter? Would you

416
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: be more surprised? Well, let me think about this for

417
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: a second. Would you be more or less surprised? Would

418
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: you be more surprised if Tiago's Splitter was the Blazer's

419
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: twelfth man, were the heir apparent at Chelsea Phillips job

420
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: to be more surprised to hear Thiago Splitter was a

421
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: twelfth man on the Blazers or the coach of the Blazers.

422
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: The tallest coach in NBA history, I believe, Thank you

423
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Iszy for the help there, because I was looking up

424
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: the tallest coach in NBA history.

425
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: I believe it's Bill courtwright.

426
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I remember Bill cart Wright. He was the

427
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: worst possible hire as a coach.

428
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 6: Because of his voice.

429
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 4: You couldn't hear him yelling across the court.

430
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: And you couldn't hear and then like the interviews is terrible,

431
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: you'd have to shut everybody up like Bill Carter a.

432
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: Terrible choice for head coach, thank you, and a terrible

433
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: size for head coach.

434
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 4: Right, Oh yeah, a bit tall.

435
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: Thiago Splitter, by the way, forty years old, same agors Lebron.

436
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: Huh.

437
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: I did not when Lebron went up and what was it,

438
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: Game six or seven of those finals and blocked Thiago

439
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 3: Splitter at the rim for one of his career highlights.

440
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: I did not have Lebron still in the league playing

441
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: while Thiago Splitter was.

442
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: Coaching a head coach. Ever, what are some of the

443
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: names that just make you smile? Because we said Thiago

444
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: Splitter and Taylor just smiled upon hearing the name Thiago Splitters.

445
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: Just one of those names, I mean, just one of

446
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: those NBA names that make me smile.

447
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could have also said like Boris dil there

448
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 5: probably would have got the same reaction.

449
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 3: Yes, Boris, you could probably go like any number of

450
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: old Spurs, like Matt Bonner.

451
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: It's just wow, Red Mamba.

452
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 3: Brian Cardinal Guards, the Custodian, the Custodia, that was his nickname.

453
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: I was looking for.

454
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: So this Cooper Flag, Uh, bust, Why do you keep

455
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: saying that?

456
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: What do you expecting from Cooper Flags?

457
00:19:59,119 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: Dude?

458
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: Listen, let me give you the backstory on this. I

459
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: said it a while back. I said it on the

460
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: Lebotard show I was doing. I was doing the show

461
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: with Damn and somehow Cooper Flagg came up and he

462
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: was still a duke and it was coming off a big,

463
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: big game, like a college game.

464
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: I think it was Duke Carolina. He wasn't very good, and.

465
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: I just said, I don't like his game, and I

466
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: don't think it translates to the NBA.

467
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: I think Cooper Flag is going to be a bust.

468
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: It's one of those things I do where I'm the

469
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: only one saying something. It's out landish, it's crazy, and

470
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, no one will remember.

471
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: But if I'm right, you gotta latch on immediately.

472
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: I will remind you. And that's what I'm doing right now.

473
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag bust. No one will remember.

474
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 6: Like Alex Smith.

475
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: Mahmes, no one's recording these got no big hacks man,

476
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 3: What do you mean? I did watch all of that

477
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: game yesterday against the Houston Rockets, because, of course, my

478
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: favorite player in Men Thompson, who had a great play

479
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: last night in which he rebounded his own missed free throw,

480
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: got it back to Alpura and Shanngoon and then just

481
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 3: ran back to the rim for a reverse. Lu the

482
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 3: guy's fing amazing, but Cooper Cooper flag. But that's how

483
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 3: we should end godless football, isn't it. That's neither here

484
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: nor there. Yeah, and you look at Cooper, and first

485
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: of all, as a rookie is a number one pick,

486
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: you know other players, others, great players are going to

487
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: try to bullieve you. Every Time a Mean Thompson had

488
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: Cooper flag in front of him, he tried to take them.

489
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 3: Every Time Kevin Durant had Cooper flag in front of him,

490
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: he tried to take him. So life is going to

491
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: be much more difficult than just some guy trying to

492
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: get into the league as.

493
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 4: An eighteen year old. But he still had his moments.

494
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: He was still fine, especially when you consider he didn't

495
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: play with Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving last night. And

496
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 3: so yeah, I think Cooper is not quite He's far

497
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: from a bust stew But for you to jump on

498
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: him now is the time to do it, because as

499
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 3: his career goes, once he turns I don't know, nineteen,

500
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: maybe he'll actually improve when he has the right teammates

501
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: around him.

502
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: So the key to doing this is he thank you

503
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: and we're taking everyone inside what we do for a living.

504
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag is averaging like thirteen points six points per game.

505
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that will be the lowest.

506
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: It is its higher NBA career, So I might I

507
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: might as well jump on my great take that I

508
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: made six months ago right now before he starts averaging

509
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: thirty five points a game, you know.

510
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if he'll ever get

511
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 4: to thirty.

512
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: Five, but He's night is a bust, I mean, not

513
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: a bust. Do you think John Morant still has superstar

514
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: ability to him? Because we talked about this before, and like,

515
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 3: the more I think about Ja Morant, a sort of frail,

516
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 3: skinny point guard who, yeah, I gave you, you know,

517
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: almost twenty eight points a game at one point, I

518
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: don't know how many teams are going to convince themself

519
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: that he is the guy that's going to put them

520
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 3: over the top. And furthermore, I think there's that's such

521
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: a sort of wide spread thought within the league that

522
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: I don't think Memphis is getting much for him, Like,

523
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: even if Miami tries to trade for him, I don't

524
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: think they've got to give up Tyler Hero for him.

525
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: Well, I think It's interesting because I do still think

526
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: John Morant is a player that could be, you know,

527
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: training wheels on a championship team. Okay, for lack of

528
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: a better turn, he even he can even be the

529
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: second wheel I think on a championship winning team. But

530
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: what's interesting is his trade value is so low right now,

531
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: and so they cut. The Grizzlies kind of need Job Moran,

532
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: and John Moran needs a great if he wants to

533
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: get out of there.

534
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: The Grizzlies need.

535
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: Him to play and then play well in order to

536
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: be able to ship him and trade him and get

537
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: max value in return for John Moran. It's a weird

538
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: dynamic where I think the player doesn't want to be

539
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: with the team anymore, the team doesn't want the player anymore,

540
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: but they need each other in the moment in order

541
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: to get max value back for Job.

542
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 3: I guess the question is has he shown enough in

543
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: the past to say, Okay, we can get him back

544
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: to that place. It's kind of like what the example

545
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: that you're giving is what Jimmy Butler did.

546
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: He didn't play well. He was just.

547
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: Basically say, hey, my trade value is going to be

548
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 3: based on what I've done in the past, not what

549
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: I'm doing.

550
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 4: Now, You've already seen what I can do.

551
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 3: And I think for Jaw it's yeah, but did it

552
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 3: translate into winning? Like you got to the playoffs? You

553
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 3: you know, had some fun in the first round, But

554
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: what did that really translate to?

555
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 4: And I think you're right.

556
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: If I'm going to trade for ja I would like

557
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 3: to know that, Hey, yeah, he wants out, but on

558
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 3: his way out, he's going to play his ass off.

559
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: Yeah he's going to try to give you forty.

560
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 3: He's not just going to pull up for jumpers all

561
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: the time and then blame the coach after the game.

562
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: So that's where the continuing decline in his value happens, because,

563
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: like I said, he hasn't shown enough in the past.

564
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: It's crazy looking back to that twenty nineteen NBA draft,

565
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 5: coming from the Knicks fans perspective, it felt like, hey,

566
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 5: you have to get one of the top two picks,

567
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 5: Zion or John Morant.

568
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 6: Of course, the Knicks fall to three, have to settle

569
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 6: for our J. Barrett.

570
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 5: But if you really look at how that draft class

571
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 5: has panned out, the Knicks were able to flip RJ.

572
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 5: Barrett and Emmanuel quickly for og Annobi, who's a pretty

573
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 5: big piece of training wheel on a potential championship team.

574
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 6: You're looking at that twenty nineteen draft.

575
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 5: If you're redrafting twenty nineteen, Tyler Harrow maybe going one.

576
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: Ah wow, we been drafting the twenty nineteen NBA.

577
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: Redraft draft.

578
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: L I mean, I still think Tyler goes three, just

579
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: based on potential.

580
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: But that is a hell of a question because Zion

581
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 4: all Star.

582
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: Has he been an All Star? I? Yeah, it was, Yeah, Okay,

583
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: John Mortt has been an All Star. So yeah, you've

584
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 3: got three All Stars at the top there, and so

585
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: I would say i'd put them third.

586
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: But Jago's won though, right, I think Joggo's ahead of Zion.

587
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: You the only one.

588
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 6: Who's made an All NBA team there.

589
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 4: Yeah that's for Shure. Yeah, but that's my point.

590
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: It's just like, okay, All NBA team, you know, twenty

591
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 3: seven points a game and people would say, Okay, he's

592
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 3: a finished product.

593
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: I don't think he is, because again, what did that

594
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: lead to?

595
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: Did it lead to a bunch of winning in the postseason,

596
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: or did it lead to, you know, losing to Steph

597
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: Curry a team that knows how to win.

598
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: I am doing something I haven't done since last week.

599
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: I am typing in the twenty nineteen NBA draft into

600
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: my computer right now, and I'm redrafting it.

601
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: I think Jordan Poole becomes a top ten pick.

602
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 4: Get he's up there.

603
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: It was actually a deeper draft than you realize when

604
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: you thought, like guys like PJ. Washington, Cameron Johnson, Ruy Hachimura,

605
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: have Kobe White have all like really found the late

606
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: not saying that they're spectacular, but really good players.

607
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 4: In the middle of that first round.

608
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: So I think Jaw does go I think so. I

609
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: think Ja goes first.

610
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: I think Hero goes second, I think Garland goes third,

611
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: and I think Zion goes fourth.

612
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: Wow.

613
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah that is good.

614
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Garland's good. But I guessed I was

615
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 3: asking he's all right. I think even today you'd still

616
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: take Zion over Garland. I think it's Ion flames out

617
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 3: this year and does nothing. Then I think you hit

618
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: that redraft again in twenty twenty six and we'll move

619
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 3: him up.

620
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: I love a good redraft. Taylor, thank you.

621
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 5: A lot of people in that fifth spot contention. DeAndre Hunter,

622
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 5: is there easy? You mentioned Kobe White?

623
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: Nah Yeah, there's some people.

624
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: I mean even RJ.

625
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: Barrett. RJ.

626
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: Barrett, nice little player.

627
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, number five. I told you number five.

628
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: Was who We'll you find him?

629
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: No, Zion was four for you, Yeah, but for me,

630
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: there was a definitive number five in that Uh. I

631
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: gotta find him. He's way down. He got draft. He

632
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: got Jordan Poole late.

633
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 6: Oh, Jordan Poole.

634
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jordan Poole, I think is probably the fifth best

635
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: player for that draft. It's crazy, Jordan Poole.

636
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: If Jordan Poole doesn't have a championship behind him, he is,

637
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: he's even more of a joke. Right, Like, if he

638
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: didn't win that championship with Steph Curry and he's out

639
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: here putting up thirty seven percent shooting, he'd be like,

640
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 3: what the hell.

641
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 4: Is this guy? I was he still playing?

642
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 2: Yeah? Can we can we redraft the draft every day?

643
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 4: Can we do that m from different leagues? Or just

644
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 4: do we want to do NBA or I.

645
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: Have no interest in the hockey draft. I have no

646
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: interest in Major League Baseball's draft. I mean I don't

647
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: want to do. You know, Piazza's draft over again. He

648
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: was drafted in like the twentieth rounds. He was number

649
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: one overall picking that draft. If we were drafted it.

650
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: I like NFL and I like NBA.

651
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: I want to do one today.

652
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 6: There's only two drafts. There's the NFL Draft and there's

653
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 6: the NBA Draft. Everything else is what you what you

654
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 6: read about later.

655
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a question. This is like, it's bothering me.

656
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if it bothers everybody else.

657
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: Just watch a lot of football, and there's certain things

658
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: that you just need to know, and like when you're

659
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: at there's this epidemic going on. Okay, when teams have

660
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: a fourth down and they stop the opposition on fourth down.

661
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 4: It drives me up a wall.

662
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: When a defensive player then gives the fourth down single signal.

663
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: Again, it's like, what are you doing?

664
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 5: Man?

665
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: It's ball that way.

666
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 3: You can't celebrate by saying fourth down again. That means

667
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: you don't know the situation. If I'm a coach and

668
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: I see a defensive player after a fourth down stop

669
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: give the fourth down symbolic, he's sitting for the next

670
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 3: two drives because you don't know time and situation. That

671
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: and I'm telling you, Stu, I don't know if it's

672
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: happening more this year than before because there's so many

673
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: teams going forward on fourth down.

674
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 4: But it is infuriating. I guarantee you're gonna see it

675
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: this weekend.

676
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: I guarantee it that three Draft is a doozy NBA.

677
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean
